I died—and got stronger. Every time I die, not only can I travel to an infinite number of worlds, I also receive all kinds of rewards!
If I want to live well in the main world—this radioactive wasteland—I have to keep finding new ways to get myself killed across the multiverse!
Some people think I’m mentally ill, with self-destructive tendencies. Others think I’m boundlessly compassionate, always throwing myself in front of the blade for someone else!
But all I want is for everyone here to beat me to death. If you can’t kill me, then I’ll kill you instead! What? You’re asking why I can revive on the spot after dying and enter phase two?
Come on—that’s standard boss design, isn’t it?
First small goal: Get Godzilla to hit me with an Atomic Breath!

“Ethan! Do you want a wife or not?!”
This was the first sentence Ethan Wells heard after transmigrating, and it left a deep impression on him.
He’d thought crossing into another world really came with a free wife.
Instead, Ethan got a brutal lesson from the locals.
There was no free wife.
There was only a lawless brute whose chest hair was longer than the hair on Ethan’s head.
He hadn’t even been in this new world for a full hour.
Still inside Vault 92, Ethan and the other vault residents had their skulls cracked open by raiders who suddenly burst in!
As he hovered on the brink of death, half-conscious, Ethan felt the raiders toss him onto a pushcart.
Then they wheeled him up to the scorching surface.
Before he died, all Ethan saw was that wastelander’s rusted mechanical left eye and heard him say, “What a waste. Boss won’t let us eat them…”
Then he, together with the other corpses on the cart, was dumped off a cliff with a drop of several hundred meters!
Wham! Wham! Wham!
The corpses plummeted one after another, then smashed into the hard road below and burst into heaps of mangled flesh…
From transmigrating to dying, it had taken 56 minutes and 21 seconds.
Ethan honestly didn’t know how to judge his luck anymore.
At the same time, though he’d already been reduced to a puddle,
lines of flickering text suddenly appeared before his “eyes.”
[MAIN WORLD BOUND: RADIOACTIVE WASTELAND]
[CAUSE OF DEATH: DUMPED OFF A CLIFF BY HUMAN HANDS]
[DEATH REWARD: ENDURANCE +1]
[DEATH CONFIRMED.]
[INITIATING TRANSMIGRATION…]
Well, would you look at that—his cheat had finally arrived!
Who would’ve thought it only activated upon death?
As those lines appeared, Ethan’s mind gradually cleared.
He was very familiar with this flickering text.
Back on Earth in his previous life, when he went out to buy medicine and got run over by a dump truck, the same kind of text had appeared before his eyes.
Which meant his ability to transmigrate had actually already existed back on Earth!
As Ethan thought about it, sensation gradually returned to his body.
His vision was still black, but his sense of smell, touch, and hearing had all come back.
He could feel solid ground beneath his feet.
A jumble of voices and the sound of passing cars also reached his ears.
Those familiar background sounds told Ethan that his transmigration had succeeded and that he’d landed in a place very much like Earth.
A few seconds later, the text appeared again.
[TRANSMIGATION SUCCESSFUL]
[CURRENT WORLD: SHIN GODZILLA]
[RETURN TO MAIN WORLD UPON NEXT DEATH]
Ethan finally regained his sight.
Looking around, he saw low-rise buildings all around him.
He was standing beside an unnamed waterway.
People streamed past in every direction. The place looked lively.
“I can’t believe I ended up in the world of Shin Godzilla!”
Ethan looked at the Japanese signs on the nearby buildings, his voice full of amazement.
At the same time, he was thrilled.
His cheat seemed far more useful than he’d imagined.
It could even send him into fictional movie worlds.
As for whether he’d be afraid of facing Godzilla?
What a joke!
Ethan felt brave as hell, okay?!
The flickering text had already told him that the condition for returning was death.
And what did that mean?
It meant he was already immortal!
If he couldn’t die, what was there to be afraid of?
Ethan felt like he could really cut loose now!
After calming down, Ethan noticed something on his left wrist.
He looked down and saw that it was his Pip-Boy.
That was strange, because he clearly remembered it being snatched away after his head was smashed in.
And yet now it had reappeared on his wrist without warning.
BOOOOOOM!
Before Ethan could think any further, a tremendous crashing sound suddenly rang out from the river mouth in the distance!
It was like an earthquake had struck. Even from so far away, Ethan could feel the ground beneath his feet shaking.
“ROOOAR—!!!”
It was the bellow of a colossal beast!
Hearing that roar, Ethan felt no fear at all—only excitement!
“It’s GOJIRA!!!!!”
Looking into the distance, he could see, roughly five or six hundred meters away, a gigantic reddish-brown monster roaring as it swam in his direction!
Everywhere it passed, the water turned blood-red.
Ethan had seen Shin Godzilla before.
And now the memory was crystal clear in his mind.
One look at Godzilla’s appearance was enough for him to know exactly what stage of the plot he was in.
In the film, Shin Godzilla displayed four forms in total.
The Godzilla before him was the early second form—Kamata-kun.
Second-form Shin Godzilla had a pair of huge, vacant fish eyes.
Its legs were thick, dorsal fins had grown from its back, and it had a pair of tiny little forelimbs.
But because it was so top-heavy, it could only crawl along the ground like a snake.
At this stage, Godzilla stood thirty meters tall and measured sixty meters long!
Not yet in its complete form, but already a bona fide monster!
With a body that huge, simply forcing its way into the waterway toward inland Tokyo was enough to shove up water that could wreak tsunami-like destruction!
And that was exactly what happened.
Godzilla had only just forced its way into the channel when the waters instantly surged back upstream!
A massive wave swept every skiff and boat on the river high into the air, then surged inland!
“Aaaahhh!!!”
Screams filled Ethan’s ears!
The river was flooding backward!
The giant beast had come ashore!
The people of Tokyo were instantly terrified and fled in all directions!
Only Ethan advanced instead of retreating.
He took a few steps forward, ran straight onto the nearby bridge, threw back his head, and laughed as he faced the oncoming wave!
“Bring it on, GOJIRA!!!”
Ethan raised both arms and shouted in exhilaration!
BOOOOOM!
The very next second, Godzilla, driving a wall of water and a heap of boats before it, slammed straight into the bridge where Ethan was standing!
Ethan first felt the river water lashing his face like pebbles.
Then the hull of a boat weighing over a dozen tons crushed straight down on him!
The instant it touched him, Ethan got flattened!
With his fragile body, facing Godzilla head-on, he had no power to resist whatsoever!
Ethan died on the spot!
Darkness swallowed his vision again.
Within that darkness, the flickering text appeared once more.
[YOU ARE DEAD]
[CAUSE OF DEATH: CRUSHED BY A FISHING BOAT PUSHED BY SHIN GODZILLA]
[DEATH REWARD: FISHING BOAT ENHANCEMENT ×1]
[INITIATING RETURN…]
Just like the first transmigration, sensation slowly returned to Ethan’s body.
Then the darkness before his eyes lit up.
When he could see his surroundings clearly again,
Ethan knew he had returned.
Returned to the radioactive wasteland that had been bound as his Main World.
Squelch…
Ethan braced himself and tried to sit up.
But all he felt beneath his hand was wet, slippery muck.
When he raised his hand to look, he saw thick, dark brown blood.
Ethan hurried to his feet.
Several vault residents’ corpses lay around him.
They were the same people the raiders had thrown off the cliff with him.
By now, their bodies were completely unrecognizable.
Only because the vault’s blue uniforms were sturdy enough to barely hold their shattered remains together did they still retain a human shape.
As for their unprotected heads, though, forget it.
Ethan couldn’t find them at all.
It wasn’t hard to imagine that when Ethan fell from the cliff, he had probably looked no better than the corpses on the ground.
But now, aside from his clothes being dirty, his body wasn’t injured in the slightest.
Not only was he alive and kicking, he even felt stronger thanks to the extra point of Endurance he’d gained earlier!
Running his hands over his completely intact body, Ethan immediately broke into a wide grin.
“I really am immortal?!”
“Not only do I get rewards when I die, I can travel to other worlds too.”
“Then after dying there and getting another reward, I can come back here and revive again!”
“I am truly am… Invincible!”
As Ethan thought this, excitement couldn’t help bubbling up inside him.
He looked around.
At the moment, he was on a ruined highway, with nothing around him.
Fortunately, after not walking very far, Ethan found a rusty piece of iron on the ground.
“Let’s test it!”
He stared fixedly at the iron shard in his hand. After sharpening it a little on the nearby guardrail, he squeezed his eyes shut, gripped the shard tight, and drove it hard into his own throat!
Pfft!
Death came again…
