As they were sent through the portal against their will, Joel and Mik fell face-first on top of a rather strange surface. As they tried to stand up, their hands were met with an unfamiliar ground, unlike that of the rough pavement, or the floorboards of their rental apartment.

They opened their eyes to check their surroundings. The two were astonished by the sight that their eyes lay upon. Massive green plains with hills of the same color stretched towards the horizon. Trees spread across the spectacular, vast landscape. And finally, a beautiful, calm rural village residing amidst this unparalleled beauty.

"Oh...Oh… Oh my God. M-Mik...are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Joel asked, astonishment evident in his voice.

"Yes, I am!" Mik cheered in utter joy, jumping up and down as he did so.

Joel did the same before the two jumped toward each other and shared a hug, their joy audible from the shouts that echoed throughout the landscape.

"We fucking did it!" Joel said.

"Yes, we did! Bye-bye, virginity! And hello, harem!" Mik added.

The two then stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm themselves before they could die from overjoy. Joel wiped the tears of joy streaming down his cheeks before he smiled, gazing at the rural village all the while.

"Man...I'm so glad we can finally start a new life in a far better world. I didn't know that was possible, but man...Hell yeah! Let's go and become the next protagonists of a harem isekai!" Mik stated.

"Yea—" Before Joel could finish his victory shout, he was rudely interrupted.

A massive pillar of purple light struck down from the sky and evaporated the entire village into oblivion. The sky turned purple, and lightning struck everywhere in the land before a figure emerged from the pillar of light.

As the figure stepped in closer, the two were able to see what he looked like. A three-meter-tall man with bulging muscles, pale-white skin, wine-purple hair, black eyes with red pupils, and a pair of horns protruding from his head stood tall in front of the duo, wearing a black leather cloak.

"The day of the prophecy has finally come! You, errand boys of the All-father, shall finally feel my wrath!" The man roared, with the duo's internal organs vibrating from the sheer intensity of his voice.

"Um… Mik…" Joel said as he turned towards his friend, fear evident in his eyes.

"Oh, boy. We're starting off with a banger. I guess we only have to pound this freak and then get the praise of the country, king, or whatever." Mik stated.

"What?! Didn't you see what this thing did to the town?!"

"So? Who cares! We're the protagonists of this world. Plus, we have superpowers, bro! This guy is just a necessary obstacle we need to go through so we get fame and recognition across the land. Plus, where's all your cold-heartedness? Aren't you the one who's supposed to be calm?"

"The guy just evaporated a village! Mik, we're heroes with superpowers, not immortals! And you should know better since you're the one who knows when to quit a fight that you know you'll lose!" Joel tried to voice his worries, only to be interrupted by Mik.

"Shush, just watch and learn."

After adjusting his attire, Mik shoved his hands in the pockets of his jacket and walked toward the monster in steady steps. He stood in front of the creature and looked up at him after running his hands through his hair, a smug expression plastered on his face as he did so.

"Good grief, it's a shame that my first victory will come from killing such an ugly thing like you. Oh well, let's get this over with." Mik said in a deeper voice as he pointed his finger at the monster, "Energy blast!"

After shouting his 'special move' in the most confident voice he could muster, Mik was struck by the fact that nothing happened. Furthermore, the monster not only looked angry but also disgusted by the former. Suddenly, the monster grabbed Mik's leg, and raised him in the air, holding him upside down.

"Uh...Joel! A little help here please!" Mik asked, still trying to stay composed.

"Uh...uh...fuck! Use your revolver!" Joel said

Upon hearing his words, Mik reached for his revolver, his hands trembling. He then pointed the revolver at the beast before releasing a war cry.

"Take this, you generic piece of shit!"

After witnessing the monster taking four bullets from the revolver, none of which damaged him in the least, Joel was a little more than discouraged by such a scene. He turned towards Mik, only to see that the latter had a poker face while loading two bullets into the revolver.

"Mik! What the hell are you doing?" Joel asked in an angry voice.

"Trying to kill us, that's the fuck I'm doing." Mik calmly replied.

"And blow our chance at a new life?!"

"We'd be killed by this guy one way or another, I'm just making it quicker."

As soon as Mik finished his sentence, he placed the revolver in his mouth, and pulled the trigger, blowing his brains in the process. Brain matter and blood splattered everywhere behind him as Joel witnessed such a site with a simple frown.

"That motherfucker forgot to shoot m—"

Before Joel could finish his rant, the 'villain' aimed the palm of his hand at the former, releasing a devastating purple blast of energy that evaporated Joel into oblivion.

…

Inside of darkness, precisely, in nowhere: There sat Mik on a chair, his hands clasped on top of his lap as he looked down at the floor. Meanwhile, Dolisia was sitting right in front of him on her white throne, her eyes bloodshot as she held a glass of wine in her hand, taking a sip to try and calm down.

A light flashed inside the dark space before Joel emerged from it. His left eye was twitching as he walked towards the chair next to Mik, sitting on it without saying a word or batting an eye at the latter.

"Hey...partn—"

Mik tried to break the silence, only to be interrupted by Joel who lunged towards the latter, holding him by the collar and shaking him intensely.

"Joel! Calm down!" Mik struggled to speak.

"You fucker! You killed yourself and left me there to die!" Joel yelled at the top of his lungs as his grip on Mik tightened.

"I couldn't bring myself to kill you!"

"I don't care! I was vaporized, you son of a bitch!"

"ENOUGH!"

Dolisia's roar, along with her shattering the wine glass with her bare hands, served as Joel and Mik's queue to halt their feud. She stood up from her throne and walked toward the two.

"You two are complaining about dying...while I'm the one who's supposed to fucking rant!" Dolisia shouted.

"Rant?! My ass! You watched us die, you watched ME die, in the most brutal way possible and you didn't do jack shit!" Joel shouted back as he stepped closer to the goddess.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry! I thought the two reincarnated heroes from Earth could save the world from evil with the special superpowers that I gave them. You were given everything, you morons! Do you-...Do you have any idea what this will do to my credit?!"

"Like I care! If you want us to go and save some shitty world, then send us to one where the main villain of the fucking prophecy doesn't come crawling up our ass in the first two seconds! Reincarnate us again, and do a proper fucking job!"

"Oh, oh, 'just reincarnate you again'? Oh, real fucking original! And who's going to take care of the world you fucked, jackass, you?! You got a plot armor machine behind that edgelord personality?!"

"Oh, as if I had shit to do! Even the power that you gave me doesn't fucking work!"

"Doesn't work?! Did you expect mountains to evaporate once you point at them, or manifest a stand that would beat the villain to death while you watch and jack off?! I gave you the power that you wanted, and now all you have to do is just fucking learn it. I don't care what you do, it's up to you to figure it out!"

After spouting her piece, Dolisia threw herself back on the throne, breathing rapidly as she massaged her temples. She took a deep breath and breathed out a sigh of frustrated composure.

"Goddammit, I guess I'll just have to leave that untouched for now, until you two morons become powerful enough to defeat that horned bastard...the All-father is going to fucking kill me. For now, I'll try to send you to another world."

Suddenly, a portal opened in front of Mik and Joel.

"Here's your second chance. But I swear, if you two fuck this up again, I will be shoving that revolver up both of your asses, and I will pull the trigger on both of you. Anyways, good luck...morons."

Upon finishing her lecture, Dolisia swung her arm. In response, the portal moved towards Mik and Joel, sending them to a new world and giving them another chance at a fantasy life.
