(I'm not very good at setting up a story, so this might be short and I will be inconsistent with chapter updates. Also this is kind of a info dump)

~POV of Kent~

Some things don't change, like my awe and admiration for whatever created the stars, and well, space. Space was always an interesting subject for me since I didn't know much about, which is the basis for all human interests in research. If we don't know about it, we might fear it, so we research it to get rid of that fear, while others research because they thirst for knowledge in general. Great minds all started from 0, and built itself up from 0, kind of like how the brain named itself the, "brain".

But when we grasp that knowledge, we lose interest, which is why I like to repeat the saying, "Ignorance is bliss". It was very true for many occasions, so I, myself, keep myself in the dark with varying subjects since I like to savour that feeling of 'thirst' that many have when they want to know about something. It might seem unorthodox for some,  but it just works, so I do it.

That's also why in some stories that people create, the god is always disappointing in some way, since we put the existence of god on a pedastool, we would have expectations that the god would be magnificent and awe inspiring. Then when a character meets god, they become full of doubt which is reasonable, and are disappointed. So, that's why the saying, "Ignorance is bliss", works in a lot of ways.

So when I was murdered, and met god, that spark or 'thirst' disappeared in a unfulfilling way. You see, the god that I met was a bit out of control, and just was what you would call, 'lazy', since even though he or 'it' created existence, it was out of whim and decided to do another thing out of whim which was kind a double edged sword for god, well in the metaphorical way. Apparently, since he can do absolutely anything, that also means that he could create something stronger than himself that even he couldn't destroy with his power of being able to do anything, and that is what he did and created the "Protagonist System".

The "Author System" was kind of like an A.I. that he created out of whim as I was saying earlier. The "Author System" picked random beings that would now be able to become more powerful than god in an instant, but that is if they wanted to, and if they didn't want this power they could give it to someone else or kill themselves so they have a fresh start and forget everything. Many did this after becoming bored of the power they gained.

Actually all of them did this after becoming bored, and then the A.I. would pick a new author, kind of like in one story where a dragon would pick the kings that would rule the kingdom. But instead of picking who were worthy, the A.I. was doing this randomly so it's more like the dragon has a chance where it would pick a sadistic peasant and noone could do anything about it.

Of course, I'm not a sadistic peasant, but a guy who's more like a NEET, but not completely, since I did have a job, which was online gambling, you can say all you want about gambling not being a job but I don't care. You can also see that I was a very lucky person up until I was murdered as you probably already realised. So I was pretty good at gambling on purely luck based games so it could be considered a job, and I was able to live just from my apartment. You could say that I was kind of normal since I never got in fights, or did anything a sadistic peasant would do. I also had a little hobby which was my little novel, where I just did whatever I wanted, and enacted some of the worst sins and acts a human could do, but I did it in that story.

So I was pretty surprised when I opened my door to get my order of chinese food and instead of my order, I got a knife to the gut, well actually it was 26 stabs. You might be wondering why I know that number, but that's just because my fat protected me from being stabbed in the vital parts so I bled to death instead of being stabbed in the heart or something like that.

Also, all of the stuff about the A.I. and the system was told to me by god, so it could be a lie but I don't really care since now I can be a NEET with powers strong enough to kill god. I plan on living in a forest, with my apartment, and I also plan on connecting everything technological to the internet and electricity plants on Earth so I can surf the internet while also being on a completely different planet.
