Chapter 4

Unfortunately, that smartphone doesn't have any records of your friends or family from your previous life. Naturally, you can't browse the internet either.

"What kind of value does such a smartphone have...?"

I muttered, hanging my head while holding the smartphone.

"I kept it because it might be useful for creating the dungeon. Wouldn't you be at a loss if you were suddenly asked to create a dungeon using magic without any preparation?"

"Hmm, well, that's true... but what does this smartphone have to do with it?"

"There's one app installed, right? Please launch it."

I checked the apps. Indeed, there was only one. It was called 'Dungeon Creator.' Is this okay!?! No, I said it doesn't matter about copyright and all that, but...

Ignoring the cold sweat breaking out, I launched the 'Dungeon Creator.'

"It seems you've launched it. Creating a dungeon is simple. Just create a dungeon using this app and save it. Modifying it is the same. It might take some effort, but you can even create a dungeon that changes its structure every time someone enters."

"Um..."

On the smartphone, a white square was displayed. This must be this room. There were also icons at the bottom of the screen labeled 'Customize,' 'Save,' and 'Status,' making it look just like a game.

"Isn't this too simple?"

I tried selecting 'Corridor' from the 'Customize' menu to connect it to this room.

Nothing happened.

So, it's not that simple, right?

"Well, the land you'll be working on is vast. If it wasn't simplified, it would be impossible.

Oh, and the structure won't change unless you 'Save' it."

"I see, that makes sense..."

Building walls by myself, digging pits, setting traps... No way! Yeah, thank you, God.

Wait, what?

It's turning into a serious request now!?

I tried touching 'Save.' A confirmation screen appeared.

"Save?"

"Yes" "No"

I chose 'Yes.' It's a bit troublesome, but without this confirmation screen, a mis-touch could save everything immediately, which would be a problem.

From now on, I'll make sure to check everything before touching 'Yes.'

After a strange, fluid-like vibration, the stone walls moved, and a corridor appeared. It's a bit creepy, but whatever.

However, it's really too simple.

Is this okay, being so simple...?

"It seems you've confirmed it. That smartphone has some of my power. It's enough for a dungeon the size of 'The Demon King's Blood Tears,' but if it runs out, you'll have to replenish it yourself.

Now, for the first blessing. Please open 'Status.'"

I touched 'Status' as instructed. This time, there was no confirmation screen, and the status was displayed smoothly.

Name: Nameless (Level 1)

Title: Demon King, Dungeon Master

Health: 10/10

Magic: 2/2

Experience: 0/100

Strength: 4

Defense: 2

Speed: 6

Magic: 0

Skills: None

Equipment:

- Backpack

- Sneakers

- Smartphone

"Is this a game!?"

And it's at the beginning. That gray and purple, AA battery-powered one.

Just using hiragana and katakana is shockingly low spec, and there's probably a character limit, especially in the equipment section.

I feel like the smartphone is crying.

"It seems you've confirmed it. Now, I'll give you the 'Fountain of Magic.'"

As soon as God said that, my 'Magic' increased from 2 to 10002.

Well, yeah. It's God, after all. The outrageous numbers are because of that. My status is mostly single digits, but the growth rate is good. After all, I'm the Demon King. It's okay, right?

By the way, 'Fountain of Magic' was added to my 'Skills.' Is this a jab at me worrying about the character limit in the app?

"Yes, it seems you've received the blessing.

The 'Fountain of Magic' amplifies the owner's magic power, increases recovery speed, and can even store a certain amount of magic power. It's an extremely rare skill. Someone who has it might appear once in a thousand years.

Furthermore, you, who can receive blessings from me, are ultra-hyper-ultra-lucky."

Are you a kindergartener?

But, it's indeed a useful skill. With this, I can cast powerful spells without worrying about MP depletion.

"Now, the next blessing is called 'Divine Protection.' As the name suggests, it's my protection.

The effects are increased health, increased recovery, faster recovery speed, and reduced damage. It's a cheat skill!!

By the way, no one has ever received this blessing before. It's truly yours alone. How amazing is that?"

God seems unusually high-spirited.

This feels like the effect of 'The Best Basket I Could Think Of.' Is it okay? It might break the game balance?

But, my 'Health' jumping to 100010 is honestly exciting.

...Hehehe. Hahahaha!!

100010. I might not die anymore.

I can't laugh at God's high spirits! Because I'm having a lot of fun too.

Game balance breaking? Full of cheats? So what!?

This isn't a game!!

To survive, I'll do everything I can!! That's just common sense!!

If anyone complains, let them enter the Backstage Martial Arts Tournament without magical items and then complain!! Only someone as tough as Mr. Kai can do it. That's it!!

"God, what's next, what's next!?"

"Hehehe, there's no need to rush.

Next, the long-awaited magic!!"

"Wow!! Woooooohooooo!! Seriously!? I can use magic!?"

"Yes. Moreover, with the 'Fountain of Magic,' you can be called, in a sense, the world's strongest magician from today."

"Awesomeeeeeee!! Thank you, God!!"

"No, no, I'm the one asking you. This is only natural."

Looking back, I think I was a bit foolish, carried away by the rising excitement.

If I had the power to go back in time, I would return to this moment every minute and splash cold water on myself.

Because from here, my life as the weakest Demon King began.
