Chapter 3: I decided to be a God!
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
DAMN! THIS IS TOO AWKWARD!!!
Ughhh…what am I supposed to do now?
Wait, what should I say to her first?
Nice to meet you? WE ALREADY INTRODUCED EARLIER!!!
Damn…I really have no idea what to do next in this situation…
Since I can’t think of anything, I glanced over at Drea to see if she can at least start the conversation.
When I looked at her, I saw her also looking at me with the same expression as mine…I guess she also has no idea what to do…
Alright! As the man, I should take the initiative!
“U-umm…” (Ethan) “Umm…” (Drea)
…
…THIS IS TOO AWKWARD!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe she also thought of starting the conversation at the same time as I did!
But after this, she will hesitate to start again so I should start immediately!
“D-Drea…” (Ethan) “E-Ethan…” (Drea)
…
…THIS ISN’T GETTING ANYWHERE!!!
“Y-you first…” (Ethan) “Please go first…” (Drea)
…
…
…Fine, let’s just let her start the conversation so we can end this already!
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
“…” (Ethan)
“…” (Drea)
…SHE ISN’T TALKING!!!
Dammit! She’s also waiting for me!?
Alright, fine, I’ll go ahead and do it! I’ll talk now okay! So you better not say anything!!!
“You see…” (Ethan) “U-ummm…” (Drea)
…
…@#$%^&*(*&^%$#@#$%^&*(*&^%$%^&!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY ARE WE SO SYNCHRONIZED SO MUCH!!!???
“*Cough* D-Drea…” (Ethan)
So to stop her from synchronizing with me, I coughed first before speaking.
Like I thought, the moment I coughed, Drea opened her mouth as she was about to speak.
Good! Finally we can start!
…Wait, I forgot what I was going to say!
“R-right! Umm…That, what does Grampa Tob usually do here?” (Ethan)
Right, let’s just start with this.
“Un, grampa usually does all the heavy lifting and hard chores like searching for firewoods, maintaining the house, making our furnatures and stuffs. He also hunts for our food while I do all the light chores like picking up herbs, cleaning, cooking and such.” (Drea)
“Alright, then leave those things to me!...Wait, did you say hunt for food?” (Ethan)
“Yes, there are all sorts of wild animals in the forest to the north. That was also the forest where I found you.” (Drea)
“Huh? Isn’t that dangerous then? Why did you go there?” (Ethan)
“I was only at the borders of the forest gathering herbs when I heard this loud sound like glass breaking. The sound scared the wild animals away but since I was curious, I took a look and saw you...” (Drea)
Huh? There was a sound effect?...Well, I did hear that as well but I didn’t think that it will also be heard by others…wait, so does this mean that I indeed have imagine breaker?
But I don’t want to test it...what if I didn’t have it? My arm will definitely be destroyed…
Let’s not think about that now.
“How does Grampa Tob hunt?” (Ethan)
“Sword, magic, traps, knives. Grampa can do anything!” (Drea)
...How am I supposed to hunt? I’m just a loser in my previous world, let alone killing, I can’t even fight bullies!
But I do know how to take a beating…
“Magic huh...come to think of it, can you do magic too, Drea?” (Ethan)
“Yep! Grampa said I am very talented in healing magic! I can even regrow limbs!” (Drea)
Oi oi oi, what’s with that cheat ability!? I want one too! A cheat!
Ah, but maybe this is just normal? Well whatever, I’ll investigate this more in the future.
“So you healed me too huh? Thanks a lot then.” (Ethan)
“Hm? Ah, no. I don’t really know why but...I can’t heal you at all, so we were really happy when you’re alright. I guess I’m not as good as I think I am...” (Drea)
....Eh?
It didn’t work?
...Don’t tell me...I...really have imagine breaker!?
I looked at my right hand and wondered how I got it. It must’ve been during that time in that blank world...that time, when I called out imagine breaker, I indeed felt different…
But how do I test it?...Hmm…
Having decided, I went to the kitchen and cut a small wound on my right index finger. Drea screamed in shock but I ignore her and presented the finger with the cut in front of her.
“Can you heal it?” (Ethan)
“Eh? Y-yes! I’ll try!” (Drea)
Immediately, Drea brought the palm of hands around the wounded finger, chanted some sort of language I definitely don’t know, and her hands glowed a gentle green light.
Heee~ so this is magic huh? Just like a fantasy~...
However, as soon as the light touched the finger, the light dissolved and was gone!
“Eh? Eh??? But...that usually works...and it’s even just basic healing magic...fueeh~ your finger’s still bleeding!” (Drea)
Fumu...it seems...I really have it huh? Imagine breaker…
While I was admiring my right arm, Drea was panicking about, finally, she suddenly displayed a determined look as she looked at my finger...
“I-I need to stop it!” (Drea)
...And bit it...well, no, not exactly bite but...more lick sucking…
…
...Wait what!?
“H-hey! Drea! S-stop that! It’s dirty!” (Ethan)
And erotic! But she doesn’t need to know that…
Unable to bear seeing the sight of Drea sucking my finger, I pulled my hand away with much regret.
Looking at my finger still covered with Drea’s saliva, I inadvertently gulped, mentally stopping myself from licking it myself...however, I also can’t bring myself to wipe it…
Well, even though I didn’t, Drea still wiped it on her own with her handkerchief...sigh…
Wait, this isn’t the time to feel regret! I have imagine breaker! How cool is that!? Now, all that’s left is to look for an enemy and say stuff like ‘I’ll destroy that messed up illusion of yours!’ or something!
Now! Come here, bad guys!
“Hehe, boss, it seems that there really is someone leaving here!” (Thug 1)
“Haha, if what those villagers said is true, then there’s an old man and a beauty here!” (Thug 2)
“Old man eh? Hehe, don’t worry about it. After that old man is dead, we’ll take turns on the girl!” (Thug Boss)
...Note to self, next time, don’t jinx yourself…Just when I talked about it...to think they’ll really appear…
“Oh my, are we having guests?” (Drea)
“Eh? Ah, oi! Don’t welcome those guys!” (Ethan)
To think Drea is that pure and innocent...even after she heard those cliche lines, she still wants to treat them as guests!?
I hastily stop Drea after being shocked for a few seconds. However, I was too late. She had already opened the door, revealing the three thug side characters.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“Oh? You actually opened the door for us. Hehe, it seems you also want it huh?” (Thug Boss)
“Drea, step back!” (Ethan)
Feeling a dangerous aura on the lackey boss, I grabbed Drea’s hand and pulled her behind me, putting myself between Drea and the thugs.
“Hn? Who’s this brat?” (Thug Boss)
The boss thug looked towards his minions for explanation. They’re probably expecting Grampa Tob here instead of me.
“Boss, we also didn’t know.” (Thug 2)
“It seems that the old man isn’t here.” (Thug 1)
“Well whatever, go kill the brat.” (Thug Boss)
Hearing his words, the two minions charged towards me and chanted. Wind blades appeared covering their arms.
Behind me, Drea screamed in shock and finally understood that the three aren’t good people as she held the hem of my clothes.
Now...what to do!?
Suddenly remembering that I am usually the side that gets beaten no matter what, I started panicking as the two got close.
Looking at my own right hand, I started feeling doubt, but ultimately still decided to do it.
Ei! I don’t care anymore! Go do your job imagine breaker!
“Heh, what can your puny hand do!?” (Thug 1)
The minions sneered and was even more confident that I will die. However, something happened that shocked them all!
With a sound of glass shattering, the wind blades that came into contact with my right hand suddenly disappeared!
Woot! It actually worked oi!
Taking advantage of their shock, I also dispelled the other minion’s wind blade. It seems that the wind blade is the only magic they used as their speed also suddenly slowed, causing them to lose balance and staggered.
Hmm, it might be a speed enhancing magic. But who cares? Punch them in the face!
So I did. And it felt damn good! No wonder those bullies always beat me! It turns out, hitting people is this refreshing!
For some reason, those two don’t get up after punching them in the face...they’re not dead right?
Momentarily ignoring the two unmoving bodies, I turn towards the thug boss whose face seemed like he saw a God had descended or something. Well, there was no trace of respect or reverence so that might not be the right term.
But you know...there’s no God to begin with!
“Well? Come ‘ere so I can punch you as well!” (Ethan)
Suddenly feeling a bit cocky, I taunted the thug boss.
He clicked his tongue and chanted, facing his palm towards me, a fireball shot outwards!
However, I was only amazed slightly. I no longer panicked. Instead, I started to walk calmly towards the fireball!
“You seem to think you’re powerful. Is it because you can use magic? Is it because you’re a magician? Is it because you think you're powerful, you can just do whatever you want?” (Ethan)
I swatted the fireball with my right hand and the fireball instantly dissipated.
“I’ll destroy that messed up illusion of yours!” (Ethan)
“N-no! Stay ba- guboh-!?” (Thug Boss)
Aaand he’s down!
Sigh, this is why these guys are merely side characters! They didn’t attempt to fight back harder at all!
Once they saw that they’re magics are ineffective to me, they already know they will lose, so they didn’t do anything at all!
Sigh...nevertheless, I’m actually a bit jealous that even these side characters can use magic…
Now that I know that I really have imagine breaker, I can only dismiss the idea that I can use magic.
However, it would be nice if I can turn this imagine breaker on and off...I don’t want to dispel my luck too…
If I can turn it off, maybe I would be able to use magic…
On a whim, I daydreamt of a fireball appearing on the palm of my hand.
A warm sensation spread towards my palm and sounds of fire crackling can be heard.
Hmm...this daydream is a bit realisting no?
...Wait! That’s not it! I’m actually using magic!?
I turn my attention to the fireball hovering on top of my right hand...instantly, a ridiculous idea appeared in my mind.
What if...I actually didn’t have imagine breaker to be exact?
What if...my power...is actually my imagination!?
Huh? With this...aren’t I something like a God then?
Testing this theory, I imagine all sorts of things to appear. Cellphone, cars, bikes, airplanes...they really appeared oi!
Huh?
Eh?
Wait…
Does that mean…
I’m a God?
Well...right...there’s no God anyway...so why not?
I’ll just become a God then!
While basking on my self satisfaction, footsteps can be heard closing in.
From the sound, it seems to be a party of people on horseback. Are they acquaintances of these mob characters?
Hehe, that’s fine, I’ll just get the opportunity to test out the limits of this new found ability.
I removed the things I created on a whim earlier. And by removed, I mean remove them from existence completely.
By this time, the party of people on horseback appeared in my view. Leading them is a flashy character so my eyes naturally focused on her.
She had long twin tail blonde drills with a high forehead, and flashy armor seemingly made for flat chests, and a princess-like aura…
A tsundere appeared!
When they neared the site, the tsundere girl looked coldly at the unmoving mob characters and looked at me with the same emotionless look.
...Huh? Cold? Emotionless?
“...Were you the one who killed these thieves?” (Tsundere? Girl)
...That manner of speaking…
“Uhh, I don’t think they’re dead though. But yeah?” (Ethan)
“...I see. Then I thank you for the assistance. Men, take those three and chain them.” (Tsundere? Girl)
Oi oi oi oi! What’s with that indifferent attitude!?
Right now, you should be saying ‘I-it’s not like I asked for your help!’ or something!!!
...Could it be?
Nonononono. This girl has a high forehead! Blonde hair! Twin tails! Drills! Flat chest! And a princess! There’s at least 99% chance that she’s a tsundere!
Yet why!?
Why is it that she seems to be a kuudere!!!???
I demand an explanation, God!!!
...Oh, right...there’s no God...or rather, didn’t I just decide to be a God!?
Task#1 of being a God: Let’s turn this girl into a tsundere!

Author's Rants
I'm back~
Sigh, this chapter is somewhat hard...I actually didn't know how to start it so I decided on an awkward situation to prolong the chapter...teehee :P
Well, with this, this chapter marks the start of Ethan having the role of a God! This story will develop on what I would do if I become a God who can do anything myself. Also, because I despise fight scenes...
Now then, will Ethan successfully turn a kuudere tsundere into a full tsundere character!?
See ya next chap!
