That Time My Anime Life Got Cursed by Outer Gods-Chapter 101 - 100: Absolute Sanity Acquired: Time to Read the Cthulhu Codex?

Chapter 101 - 100: Absolute Sanity Acquired: Time to Read the Cthulhu Codex?

At first, Shiro Sakamaki didn't think much of it. His newly acquired skill, Absolute Sanity, allowed him to remain entirely unaffected by emotions or mental interference.

Even in the heat of battle, he could stay calm, composed, and precise. It was a toggleable buff—on when needed, off when not.

Still, he found it lacked passion. One of his greatest joys in combat, besides unleashing thunder techniques, was that satisfying clash of fists—the raw, physical intensity of close-quarters brawls.

But lately, he hadn't encountered any enemies worthy of that kind of release.

Ghouls were too weak, and most supernatural beings lacked the physicality to pose a challenge.

So while Absolute Sanity was powerful, it felt somewhat wasted—useful, but not exciting.

His eyes paused on one item—the Cthulhu Textbook (Original). His pupils contracted sharply.

That book... its true terror lay in its mental corruption. Merely touching, reading, or trying to absorb its contents could drive the reader insane.

But now, with Absolute Sanity, did he have a way to bypass its madness?

If his rationality was anchored—immune to influence—could he safely access the knowledge sealed within?

The thought made his heart race. A voice seemed to whisper from the shadows, urging him to open the book.

Meanwhile, at the Nakano residence...

That evening, Nakano Maruo's assistant, Ebata, arrived at his study.

"Sir, the information you requested on that classmate—here it is."

"Thanks, Ebata. You're dismissed."

Ebata, a graduate of a top Tokyo university and former tutor to the Nakano sisters, bowed respectfully and left.

Alone in his study, Nakano Maruo stared at the folder in silence.

The next morning...

Ding ding ding... ding ding... CRASH!

The alarm clock was obliterated by a groggy yet annoyed Shiro.

An hour later, he finally rose. With a burst of blue lightning, the shattered clock reassembled itself—good as new.

He opened his window, letting the crisp morning air clear the cobwebs in his mind. Last night had been restless.

He had spent hours weighing whether or not to open the Cthulhu Textbook.

Even with Absolute Sanity, doubt lingered. That book's reputation preceded it—it was no ordinary cursed tome.

In the end, he didn't open it. Not out of fear, but caution. This was a city. If something went wrong, it could spell disaster.

Better to find a remote place—somewhere uninhabited—where he could test its effects without risk to others.

That decision made, the sky outside suddenly seemed clearer. The wind was gentle, the clouds serene.

After washing up, he looked in the mirror. A handsome young man stared back—expression calm, lips curled into a mischievous grin.

"...Damn, I could pass as the Crooked-Mouth God of War," he muttered, then chuckled.

Breakfast was simple—toast, bacon, and a carton of milk. As he took a sip, he froze.

A violent surge of thunder power had just passed overhead.

His instincts kicked in immediately.

Despite its fury, the energy wasn't especially powerful compared to his own. But its purity... now that was intriguing.

Grabbing a toast slice, he activated an Invisibility Talisman, leapt from the window, and took off after the source.

Shadow wings unfurled, his speed breaking the sound barrier.

But the target was fast too—unsurprising for someone wielding thunder-elemental powers.

After ten minutes of high-speed pursuit, the source finally stopped.

Shiro descended quietly into a remote mountain range.

And there, by the lake, he saw it:

A giant white dragon—but not quite what he expected.

Instead of scales, it had sleek white fur. Lightning flickered along its wings and danced between two short horns on its head.

It wasn't massive, and its aura suggested it was still young—mid-level in the madness tier.

But even so, its raw energy and defensive fur put most human fighters to shame.

The dragon was clearly still growing... but it was already impressive.

No wonder thunder surged through the skies earlier.

Shiro's eyes lit up. Perhaps today wouldn't be boring after all.
