Chapter 3

I understood what the voice, now revealed to be God, was trying to say.

But what about this? If I were to accept this "request," I would end up making all the factions my enemies.

I looked at the hand peeking out from the school uniform.

It was just a hand.

Just a human hand. No matter how you looked at it, it was the hand of an ordinary person who had never even been in a single fight.

Well, think about it.

What would you think if someone said to you,

"From now on, I want you to kill each other."

I am now being told,

"From now on, I want you to challenge the world to a fight."

I hope you can understand how I feel.

Anyway, it’s impossible for me to do something like that. If such a thing were to happen, the result would be as clear as if I were facing off against Frieza, like Goku.

Yeah, no way!

I feel bad for God, who explained things so politely, but I value my life. I wish you would ask someone like the immortal man, Kora, or Joe Doria. What? They’re the same person?

Ah, I can remember the characters from fictional works, I see. Maybe I should become a manga artist or a novelist based on these memories. Copyright? What’s that? I don’t remember it.

So, to be honest, I’m very reluctant, but I think it’s best to leave this time, saying that it wasn’t meant to be.

"Of course, it’s fine if you refuse. This is just a request, after all."

God’s voice echoed as if seeing through my heart. Maybe he really can see through me. After all, he is God.

"But, if I stay here, won’t I be killed...?"

That’s right. If the whole world ends up being my enemy, it’s better to run and hide. If I stay here, the army might storm in, and the hero, who is the antithesis of the demon king, is also scary. In that case, no matter how complex and vast the maze I create, I would be overwhelmed by the sheer number of people and end up being sacrificed.

"So, that’s why I’m going to grant you a favor. This is a grand service, a major discount, coming directly from me."

Hmm, so you’re saying I should get a cheat from God and go on a rampage. If that’s the case, it might be a bit interesting. Ideally, I’d like a cheat that lets me defeat the hero while he’s picking his nose, something like an easy mode cheat. Unlike in games, I can’t afford to die here.

"Okay. But before that, let me explain how to operate the dungeon. It should be quite fun. Take out your smartphone from your breast pocket."

"Huh? I can bring a smartphone in here?"

That kind of ruins the atmosphere of a different world, but let’s check the contacts first.

Huh?

Isn’t this conversation moving in the direction of accepting the request?
