-???'s POV-
The world is vast. A lot of beings and miracles blended together in it. Creating endless songs which resounded with each other. So many creation was born. So many destruction was born. The life and death of a mortal. The birth and erasure of an immortal.
The river known as Time brought many boats sailing in it. One by one, they reached a shore. Another sank. And the other ceaselessly sailing as if accompanying the river till it reached the ocean where the end and beginning became one.
Nothing was predetermined. Nothing was determined by one truth. All possessed eternity yet most of them could only pick one path to follow. Those who looked forward to the uncertain future. Those who turned for the past. And those who stood at the threshold of the present.
Once again, a tale was spun. And once again, a tale ended. Here was the place where nothing existed. And yet, in this nothingness, everything existed. Yes, everything.
A story started from a humble beginning. A legend began with a sword pulled by the chosen one. A romance was initialized once the prince and the princess took each other's hand. But there was no story that continued without troubles.
It didn't matter even if the trouble was a trivial matter. It didn't matter even if the problem was a solvable case. A story... could not exist without a shares of mischief. Like a wind which cornered a ship from sailing smoothly.
Was it coincidence? Was it fate? Was it destiny for everyone to possess troubles in their stories? Nobody knew the truth other than the truth itself. Even if various theories were raised. Even if thousands of years of researches were started to hunt down the answer. In the end... There was no actual answer to provide everyone's satisfaction.
Therefore, a being questioned.
"—why is a trouble needed for a story?"
The desire to know the truth was not wrong. At the very least, it was a commendable desire even if it demanded a great sacrifice. But mortals often saw the truth as a menace.
Because it was ugly, they rejected it and despaired.
Because it was harmful, they turned their backs and fled to not be harmed.
Because it was cruel, they comforted their selves with false hopes and warm lies.
However, even that was what making a story as entertaining. Most did not notice but they sought for a miracle. They desired for something which enticed their peaceful beginning to take a sudden turn. They wanted a change. A problem to look at life in a different way. A change, great enough to appease their narrow minds even though they never asked for it. A small hope to be a little different.
There were of course some who wanted no part with problems. Most, if not all saw problems as something which would bother them. A thing which would drag them away from their comfort. An evil which was capable of taking everything they held dear.
Because of that, people despaired. Because of that, everyone grieved. Because of that, all despised problems which would become tragedies for their stories.
But now—let's take a different view on this spice of a story.
It is true problems provided hatred. It is true that many were unhappy because of them. It is also the truth that most ships could never reach their destinations because of these emotionless winds.
But without them, no story could ever be entertaining. There would never be a story where the prologue and epilogue be different. There would never be a story where the life of the people written in a story developed so much to be able to entwine with one another.
Of all things… without conflicts, some things could never be discovered nor treasured.
Here was a place detached from the world. Here was the nothingness where everything could be created. In this 'Miniature Garden' born out of the desire to be disconnected from everything, a being answered.
"Without troubles, no story could ever begin beyond the Prologue!!"
That's right! How could I not remember this common knowledge!! No matter how detached I have been from the outside world, I was supposed to know everything! Rivaling the gods... Challenging even the mysterious origin which was definitely beyond my knowledge...!!
Hell, I had obtained everything I wanted in this scruffy garden that Shirogane created! The old hag could never stop bothering me even though I have human rights!! I’M BORED OF DOING A MONOLOGUE USING THIRD-PERSON VIEW!! GIVE ME FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
"Eh, complaining won't get me anywhere huh? What should I do then...?"
Hm... this library which had become my playground was already of no use. I meant... even though I copied it after glancing over the God of Wisdom Midgard's office... It quickly became boring! FAST!! Despite me reading aaaaaallll of the information at a pace slower than a Xig!! Just how could I be slower than the slowest creature ever existing which moved only a miniscule of a step once every ten thousand years!!?
"Haiz... In the end my life has stopped with there being no problems at all."
Scratching my head and pressing a finger on my temple, I decided to wander around the library which size was equal to the world itself if not the realms. As time and gravity did not have any effect in it so you could expect here having no working laws and rules.
In this place I can do aaaaannnyyythhiiiing. From floating like a bird gliding through the windy sky to having my hand coming out from my ass hole. Well the second part meant even the space-time continuum and dimensional axis were in jumbles. Kind of amazing but there's nothing else once you obtained the truth of 3000 worlds!!
I really wanted to shout out "Restriction 666 Released! Dimensional Interference Field Deployed!!" but too bad that no one was listening. Not even the old hag was present in the moment.
Sigh... a life without troubles were annoying. No antagonists. No tsundere childhood friend and no tsukkomi for my jokes. What a bad taste to live here. How could someone stay sane in this boring place for even a week?
Oh, right. Not even time existed here so I could claim there is an absence of it. What a letdown....... And am I a sane person for being here? Fuck it all!!
Just where's my Waifu!? Has someone NTR-ed me!? I call for hax!! Get me the save slot #1, Elsie!! There's a heroine in need of conquest! I can already see the ending!!
......
.........
................
"......Aaah. I'm bored. So damn bored I would like to kick some asses. Where is my princess and demon queen?"
Hm... I guess threesome is okay. But I don't believe I have the capacity to have foursome. Then again, just what am I thinking to suddenly wanting sex? Have I become sexually frustrated? Possibly. I won't deny that. My boner is already at the limits from bursting!!
But I don't think the collection stored by another world's hero could satisfy me any longer. It's true that I preferred harem and that some good stuffs with that tag were brought over. However, I think I like the sequel of Chest Sensou more though the prequel has a really easy gameplay. Mind you, these are all legals if not taken from websites which translated the synopsis. And only synopsis with snapshots alone are there in the worst case.
"Crap, did I just break the fourth wall? Well no matter though. It's not like anyone could notice me in here. Besides—"
Once I looked down, I saw something restrained with chains. Was it even there? How come it was there? Since when? These questions posed no meaning as the Miniature Garden held no common sets of laws. In fact, there was no law and there were no concepts. Nothing could be here because anything could be here. Let's say it's similar to the Yog-Sototh if you're confused. Lovecraft's myth is interesting for me.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Hm? Are you asking who you are? Well as if I would know. I could care less and I believed I am not sane, no? Did you think you are not me? Such idiocy. As I floated around aimlessly around the sea of books and bookshelves, an angry roar resounded.
"You... son of a biiiiiitttcchh!! Undo these magical seals right here and now, you stupid disciple!!"
"Yeow!? So you're still awake even though you claimed to need a beauty sleep!?"
There were heaps of cursing following after. It really hurt my ears so I sighed as I covered them with my hands. Such a simpleton to only shout despite blundering a while ago. I meant... it's her fault to enter my trap. Even the White Dragoness could do nothing in the face of all beings' nemesis... which was forgetfulness. I guessed living as an immortal could be very troublesome.
Hm… should I call myself Index Librorum Prohibitorum for remembering the details up to this date? The name's kinda long so I'd rather not be called that. Oh well. Since Teacher was calling me so I floated down and faced her head-on.
There was a girl with white hair, white skin and golden serpentine eyes in front of me. She had four peculiar horns. Two of which bended to circle her temple, and two others which went to the back. Should I use her horns to do cliff climbing? By the way, she is naked so she's currently displaying her glory for all to see!
Look at those bountiful chests full of overflowing hopes! Look at her youthful face which was the combined form of innocence of a child and the alluring appeal of an adult! She's a kyonyuu loli!!!
Sadly, the important parts were censored by the chains which tightly constricting her from behind. The chains came from a huge magic circle with complex geometric patterns and ancient languages there. Not to mention there were actually numerous layers of them which gathered mana in a ridiculous speed in order to sustain the seals automatically.
I really am a genius. How did I even conduct this grand achievement? Well, it's a mystery for me too. I simply fiddled with thin air and it just happened. Ooh, am I a god? Well, whatever. Everything could happen in this Miniature Garden.
"Hey! Are you listening you dimwit!? Release me!!"
"No way~! It would be a disaster if Teacher was released!!"
"What do you mean by ME being a disaster!? It is YOU that is a walking disaster!! Not me!! Now undo these seals before you received some spanking!!"
"I am not a kid in need of spanking!!"
This old hag really got the nerves to subject me as a brat! Did you know that I have long matured!? I even passed the Coming of Age Ceremony with flying colors!! And who the hell are you to punish me when you are clearly under my mercy?!!
Oh, that's right! This time it's my turn to pay the hag back with all the pains and sufferings I have received!! With my lips forming crescent moon shape, I tapped at one of the chains which restrained Shirogane.
"Hyau!?" The White Dragoness suddenly let out a sexy sound! So her armpit is an erogenous zone?!
Ooooooohhhh! Now I'm turned on! Damn, had I not known her true age and that she's not a virgin anymore I would have banged her! I would even resort to kage bunshin to have my way with her...!! Damn you time for letting lolis age!! Don't you know that the imbalance of big-breasted lolis be the best!? Ah, but, generally, I like women. I'm a gentleman so I would even use Eye of Death Perception to cut open the world. All so that I could save even one of them!
But of course, there are women I wouldn't save. I'm not so idiotic to actually help my enemies even if they are women. But it's a different story if they're actually good people forced by evil fates. I'm a gentleman after all!!
"So—let me hear you squeal again."
"Hii!?"
What happened next was a scene of beating a poor girl (lel) into submission. With chains and other stuff and other stuff that anyone could imagine. Of course, there was not a single thing that could not entice the uprising of manhood!!
"FUHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!! FEEL MY WRATH AND BECOME A SLAVE TO PLEASURES!!"
"Hiyah?! Hnh! Nn...! Hauu......!! N-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
By the way, the torture isn't X-rated. I'm not into loli baba and I don't do rape.

"Fuh... that was a good workout."
Wiping beads of sweats from my forehead, I sighed in satisfaction. Now that Teacher was dead silent (no, she's not actually dead yet) I could do as I please right? No one would nag at me and nobody is strong enough to beat me. Well, it's my first victory against my first enemy so I won't know anything till later on.
I have prevailed as a Victor!!
However... now that I think about it, I knew nothing of the outside world. And it would go against my logic to not start my story. Hm… fine then.
"Let's go! Let's go to the outside world!!"
I dashed off from the spot and went straight to a big, big, extremely big closed gate which stood at the end of this world of books. Hm? Did I just refer to something again? Even if it's world of airships or world of warships, I didn't give a damn!
"Now opan da doooooorrrrr!! Press the button here..."
*click* *RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!*
Wahoo! A new world! A new story! I am so going to see the world with my own eyes!! How long have I waited for this moment!? I had been observing the mortal realm using the almighty Mirror Lake (mostly used to see girls bathing and changing clothes) and yet there was nothing! I FELT NOTHING BY SEEING!!
I don't need a recorded AV!! I don't feel full by using binocular alone! Even if I am beyond 30-years old magician, I have the grand dream of ruling the world surrounded by a harem of girls!!
"W-wait! Stop right there, you dumb fool!!"
A ha ha ha haaaaaaa!! Imma not listenin!! I cyant hear yaaaaaaaaa! Laughing, I jumped into the light beyond the gate and I finally took my entrance to—
"The sky!? Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhh?!!"
No way! So the Garden was located in the sky!? Was it Synapse all along!? Have I been staying in the paradise of immortals with wings!? Then where are the damn angeloiiiiiidddsss?!! IIIIIKKAAAARRROOOOOOOOOOSSSSS!!
"—oh well. Time to be a Fallen Lost Property. And I should say—I HAVE COME TO LOVE YOU ALL, MY HAAAAAARRREEEEEEEEMMM!!!"

Somewhere in Human Territory....... far, far away from the falling disaster... But at the same time…
"...........!?"
"Hm? What's wrong, Charl?"
"...uh... no... it's just... I felt goosebumps crawling on my back even if for a moment."
"...me too."
"Now that you two mentioned it, hasn't the wind gotten cold even though it's in the middle of the spring...?"
"..........Onii-chan. It's cold... and weird..."
"? Did you Ladies caught a cold?"
"More like... A degenerate is nearby. I think."
"...Uuuugghhhh... be quiet. And close the curtains already..."
