The world is broad, and with its size, the population fills the land. With the unstoppable rapid increase in population, billion is a small number compared to the future. So here is the question, Is God have enough time to plan's billion's fate. From a business perspective, even he can, the positive increase mean one thing, he will hit the point where he can't handle. If God is real, I just assume, I don't expect them to be an idiot, even without the ability to see the future, they should know what is coming. Logically, I believe they should have a backup plan. To my own opinion, they will have to select the few. What I mean, simple, if you are the one that they don't choose ( don't feel bad, there are a billion shares that feeling), you are just a coded one to fill the crowd. From a storyteller, the unchosen is simply a crowd character. And God will focus on the few, which we usually call them main character.
If I can say, I am not an idiot, who scream for God when my life goes wrong. I do, but that when I am an idiot. If you do wonder why your life is so boring and worthless, you will need to wait in the line. It isn't that long, probably just billion people wait before you. So do people accept to be the same of other people and accept that their life may be worthless? No, each person conveys themselves that they deserve to save than other people, and ignore billion people who suffer the same. I mean who wants to admit themselves to be worthless. My old me would be the one who prays to God, that if I meet a person who would change my life, I will change for better, be a better son, a better brother, a better member of society, and if he doesn't, I just blame them that because they didn't save me, I become like this. What would I say now " Want to be the main character is too easy, want to be a non-main character is the one that is impossible, challenge accepted"
I take it back, all of it. I know I was dumb to think if I challenge the God, that I don't want to special then it will leave me alone. That why people usually say, be careful what you wish for. but this time, it would be what I didn't wish for. I hit my face, image that there is a virtual reality glass on my face, but it was nothing by awkward face palm. Hey a dragon, cool, I am pretty sure that I didn't see the title final boss above its head. the name and ??? health bar appear on the monster's head just like a game. Happy to know that people still stuck with the old-school RPG style. I try to stay positive. I stand in the middle of the ruin, in the concern. It must be a movie, no kidding the quality of the movie made this day. And quickly the heat that melts the brick in front of me changed my mind. Are you kidding me, even to enter another world, this is way too fast, how the heck, I just fly straight to the final boss's nest. What do I mean, stop pretending to be an idiot. If I said, what the heck happened, I am lying. This is basically the same as any summoned hero story is, you got summoned, and get stronger, and fight the demon lord, simple, also save the world. But I never hear, you were summoned to the final boss at the beginning of your journey, consider how stupid that is, how an author can make money if the story finished too quickly. No, maybe I am wrong, I see this in a few game, yes let revise how hero got power to defeat demon lord. First, they need to gain a special weapon. I look around me, the only weapon I see is a rusty weapon held by a skeleton who died in the hilarious pose. That is such good material to make memes, but instead of laughing, I feel my tear form on the edge of my eye. Then I recognize something on my right hand, some blue line emits on my skin, that makes it look like sci-fi. it has a certain shape. an almost finished circle with a dash in the middle cut the circle. I am sorry, this is the real story, we don't have time to pretend to be an idiot while the audience screams in vain the obvious answer. No more moment of " That is him, that guy did it, behind you, you idiot, ahhh " *scream internally*. It is power on button. I touch it. The light glows brighter before a line expands and run along my skin. I close my eye, blind to the sudden burst of light. I feel cool, and somehow, comfortable. I open my eye. In front of my eye, a hologram sphere appear. In the middle of the sphere in front of me, a log open. " Do you want to be a hero" a word written on the log, and next to it, a cute slime mascot appears to be sleeping. The button named " Yes" appears right under the log. Where can I find a no button, well I just have to turn it off. What ? what you expect me to do, I don't want to risk my life and my quiet day. You know the pain of being a hero, girl follows you, people keep badmouth you, and so much work to do. You know people have a saying " The more power, the more responsibility", that also means " The less power you have, the less work you have to do". I am sorry, but I am sure you guy can find another person. The sphere forcefully open. "Wait, what happens" I recognize the same scene I see before except for one thing. A red angry emo above the slime. " What are you doing". The slime yells almost break my ear. All right, I know fairy has many forms, but to put a slime in, how desperate the creator of the sphere try to advertise. I mumble.
" Why you turn it off" the slime adjust the volume a little bit but the noise still hurt my ear. Oh shit, I didn't expect that they would put actually fairy in. I look disappointingly.
" How rude of yo…" The slime whisper but quickly interrupted as I turn off the power. As I expect, the sphere turns on again.
" What are yo…….." I quickly turn it off, before the small icon can whisper anything else. The sphere got back on.
" Yoooooou…" I like this game, usually, I don't get to interrupt other people, but I can do this all day. "Pleas…"… " Forgive"….. "me"…." Stop"…."Turn t… off". "Heehee" I smile with a dark expression.
"Stop this" The sphere turn all red from its cool blue color. " I will spread " Hero of Aksir" to the world". Anything except that. I stop my hand as fast possible as I see the hand drawing cover of my I should already burn book. " How you got it," I asked. " before I can hear any explanation from you, I wonder how good looking you can be with your hair stand up" The slime grind.
" What do you mean" I was too late to realize that she intends to shock me. My mind goes blank as the electricity pass through me. The expression I wear a moment ago, the slime convert it into emoji form. "For…give.. me" I struggle to mumble each word, as the electricity pass through me. " How do you feel to be interrupted" the smile use its high kid voice to mock me. How the heck, the fairy who suppose to help me torture me right now. " Ok, now you learn your lesson, hit the button, how the heck I feel like a bad guy force you to be a hero" The slime show a face palm on the emoji form.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
" So offensive, how do you assume everybody wants to be a hero" I protest and feel a shock run along my spine again.
" Just do it" the slime show a dark expression that ruins its cute appearance. I hit the button forcefully. " NO don't hit it" Suddenly the slime quickly yell out. The sphere turns white and the world around me turn to blank canvas " Welcome to Atrist" a pretty girl pull out her hand in front of me, or that what I assume since I saw the behind of the girl begin to turn toward me before the shock makes me faint. "No, don't look" the slime yell.
I am dead, that what I wonder. " No you aren't dead" the slime show a blushing emo face. " How the heck you blush when you almost kill someone" I retort but quickly silenced by the shock behind his back. " Can't you stop, anything, I will do what you say, just stop, either kill me, I don't really want to turn into masochist" I beg. " Disgusting" The slime say. I get used to it, so that is ok. " Aside from the stupidity of our encounter, even I wish as I can quit this as much as you, I am your fairy, who supposed to guide you toward becoming a undefeatable hero". " Wait I thought my fairy supposed to be that pretty gir…" my spine is shocked again. " Forget that memory, I hear extreme shock can cause brain damage and good when you need to brainwash someone" The slime looks with murderous aura. " I already forget, who is a pretty girl, what is a girl anyway, a food, can I eat it" I panic and try to save myself from another ticket to torture house. " that is for real hero" the slime mumble something that I can't hear. " What did you said," I asked. " Nothing, do you even have time to worry, anyway, since it is the beginning of your journey, can we talk with the King or summoner, we need something from them"
" Who" I answered innocently.
" The people who you meet the first time you are summoned"
" Nope, the only one I meet is a slime, and yeah, the death reaper" I respond.
" Not that, a real human, usually a big fat king, who is too cowardly to fight, so he forced the hero to fight for him"
" Ah, that, yeah, it is you" I answer.
" Stop, anyway, are you seriously kidding me, wait, so what do you see"
" Nothing, I just see a super big demon over there, title: Final boss"
" good, wait not good, wait, it is extremely bad, how the heck you got here"
I point at me in surprise and then circle around before pointing at the slime again.
" If I know I don't need you, who just tell me I am just summoned couple of minutes ago"
" Ok, let be calm, usually we can see the quest we do to remember where we left off"
" We do have one?"
" Of course, I almost die by overwork myself on that project, oh, no, nothing, forget it, I just mumble to myself"
" so just touch the button say quest here" I push the button on the hologram. Suddenly another panel appear. The quest appears. We both look at it with poker faces.
" The first quest: Defeat the demon" the title to the quest put in front of us.
The slime turns sideway then put in the emoji of the hanging coat, then slowly take it and put on a hat. " You aren't going anywhere". I pull the slime back.
" Noo, Boss, this is hopeless, give me another job, I will work for free for a whole month, I even can wash your car for free, coffee snack food, anything but this"
" You aren't allowed to leave me here"
" It is your job, not my, I just got assign into the wrong hero"
" Anyway, let calm down, maybe I am one of the Overpower character, who has a superpower"
" Oh, yeah, I forget about the special power"
" It should be right there, in the skill point"
" The feature is only accessed by Hero" We look at each other in poker face again.
" Too bad, I already hold you down" my hand already pull the slime"
" Stop that is sexual harassment"
" To a slime, I think you harass me"
" Ok, I won't run away, not like I can"
" Good boy, who is a good boy"
" I am not a dog, you ugly useless person, who should die before summoning"
" Bad boy, bad boy, sit, I am sorry" the shock reminds me who is the boss.
" Let check the weapon, they should give a legendary weapon"
" Weapon: Rusty Sword: Inflict the damage that deals on the enemies by this sword toward the user instead of the monster"
" ahh hh hh" The shock gives me a chill.
" Don't think about doing that to me" the slime pop up a hang-up knot.
" No I don't give up yet, maybe we didn't confirm your role as hero, let see your class, just touch where the button say Job"
I touch the button.
" Bug, your current job is a bug, Job Description: a glitch in the system of summoning, who is summon from the error in the system, this prevents him from admit to being hero"
" I want to eat mochi" I mumble with a desperate face, image how i can make mochi from slime.
" You can, I give up, you don't even worth a thing" the slime hopelessly reply, indifferently to my joke.
" Hey not like I want to come here, I was dragged here remember" I reply.
" If you are useful, then it would be different"
What the heck is wrong with my life. My tear unconsciously forms on my eye. I don't want to be a hero, but somehow know that I can't is pretty hurtful. So we spend the time to enjoy the series of sweet cursing on each other.
" So what now" I lay my back on the wall of the broken house, to recover my breath.
" I don't know, pretty useless to argue now, why the heck I stuck to you, I, the perfect Guide"
" Don't ask me, I am useless, remember"
" Youuuuu"
The slime pop up a slice throat emo.
The slime's tear starts to roll.
" Now I can't save you, Uisan, I am sorry"
It is rare to see the slime look so depressed, I don't know who is Uisan, but I guess it is something really bad since it isn't serving any purpose to lie to me now. The silence fills the space, not exactly quiet, we still have the dragon behind throw the fireball everywhere. So that is that. The dragon almost head over here.
I look back at the quest, and of course another disappointed panel that lists me as useless. No one is at fault here. So what should I do?
" Who is Uisan, your boyfriend, I wonder what color he is, black when his girlfriend roasts him too much" Since I am a rude one, I find it easy to insult while asking her.
" No," the slime surprisingly is precise and calm.
" She is my sister, she is the best sister I have in the world, and I am the only hope she can regain her innocent" The slime look sadden.
" If I fail here, my older sister will be sent away"
" I don't know what you talk about, but shouldn't I be the last one you want to tell to since I am useless"
" But at least you aren't useless as me" Its attitude tickle me off.
" You want to bet" I challenge her.
" What"
" Bet who is more useless" I smile and stand up.
" I can't really stand people who claim to be more useless than me, I am quite proud of it"
" Are you a masochist"
" No, but I guess useless is worse than masochist, so I accept that as compliment"
" what will you do"
" Simple, let do the quest"
" Are you crazy"
I stand up and head toward where the dragon is.
But seriously, when the heck I suppose to meet a pretty girl, the first thing I meet is a freaking slime and figure I am a glitch, well, that joke is only funny when my parent says it, but hey, I guess I am pretty sure I am not a hero.
