On the outside, Dalton stared dead on the spot where the portal had eaten Eichi. Inside, he wanted to scream. The scream became louder when Ozul entered his vision. He was saying something, but it came out in a muffled buzz.

Then he snapped.

He grabbed Ozul by the collar and screamed at him.

“What are you doing?” He shook him.

“I solved our problem.” His tone innocent.

“You tossed him against his will in another world! This is the second time you’ve done that!”

“Second time?” Ozul gave him a weird look. “I guess if you count only yours.”

Dalton felt his heart drop.

“You’ve done this to other clients? Do you know how dangerous it is to send them off without telling them what they need to do?”

“He seemed capable.”

Dalton slapped him. Then pulled him just an inch to his face. “Don’t ever do this again!”

“Your breath smells like fish.”

Dalton released him. He couldn’t believe it. He never explained the world he was being transported to, what power he could gain, or even the point system to him. Eichi was in the wild.

By tossing him in, the ability granted to him would be randomly assigned. He couldn’t pull him out of the world and call mulligan. There was a special authorization necessary for that.

He turned to Ozul, who was watching a video on his terminal. “Is there anyone who can give me authorization to get him?”

“No.” Ozul said. He kept his attention on his video, and then he started to laugh.

“What are you watching?”

“I’m watching one of the nerds I sent yesterday get destroyed by goblins. Wanna see?” He held out his wrist for Dalton to look.

Dalton took a step back. His face twisted in disgust. “What are you watching?”

“Goblin rape,” Ozul paused. “Did you know that the average goblin have thousands of little blades on their genitals.”

Dalton slapped his hand away. “Why would I want to watch that? That’s disgusting.”

Ozul snickered, his eyes darker. “Goody two-shoes. Let me tell you, their suffering is my pleasure. Maybe you don’t like it right now, but you’ll definitely come and join me in laughing at them.” The scene was reflected in his eyes, his voice became quiet. “You’ll see. They are the most entitled selfish people you’ll meet. That’s why you asked for that golden boy didn’t you?”

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

“I didn’t ask for him to be killed.” Dalton hissed.

“But you didn’t stop it.” Ozul met his eyes. They were devoid of any light. “Silence is complacency.”

“That…” Dalton couldn’t refute it. It was true.

Ozul walked past him and patted his shoulder. “Just be glad that I helped you. It’s better than finding out all of this on your own.”

Ozul sauntered out of the room, still laughing as he watched his videos. Dalton stared at the door, absentmindedly.

His terminal beeped. Dalton looked down at the notification.

A video popped up from his terminal showing Eichi cursing his name underneath a downpour of heavy rain.

A few days later, Dalton approached Ozul. He was at Louise’s desk trying to convenience her to go on a date with him.

“I know you’re free this Friday. There’s this club that you’ll be interested in,” he said in a loving tone.

“I don’t think I can.” Louise’s smile was twitching. “I’m visiting my brother.”

“You have a brother?” It was the worst fake surprise face Dalton had ever seen. “Can I meet him. He might be my brother someday.”

“I think Dalton is here for you.” Louise pointed out.

Ozul changed expressions, from a glowing one, to an annoyed one. “What?”

“We got a problem.” Dalton pointed behind him with his thumb. “Can we talk somewhere private?”

“You should go,” Louise said.

“If it’s a request from you, your wish is my command.” He kissed her hand.

As they walked out of the room, Dalton turned slightly over his shoulder to see Louise disinfecting her hand with acid.

It looked painful, her hand was blistering and red. If she was feeling pain, she wasn’t showing it. She was no longer smiling. Her expression remained cold and stern.

“So?” Ozul slammed the door behind them and gave Dalton a sharp look. “What was so important that you called me out here?”

“Yeah.” Dalton brought up a video on his terminal. “Here.”

Ozul leaned in to view it. What he saw made his mouth part slightly.

“What am I looking at?”

“You’re looking at Eichi, the young CEO you tossed in my world,” Dalton said.

Time moved differently between the worlds he sent his clients to and the world he was apart of right now. It depends on the world in question, but the world Eichi was sent to, a day equaled a year. In the three years he had been on Omora, he had grown into a massive beast of a man.

His hair and beard were unruly, his glasses missing the lenses, his wedding ring tied around his bare neck. His biceps were bigger than a watermelon. Each strike that hit the boulder, he cursed Dalton’s name, he cursed Ozul, and he cursed the gods.

“Uh-huh.” Ozul nodded. “Well while that is concerning, we really don’t need to worry too much about it.”

“He also knows about the point system.”

For the first time, Ozul’s face lost the small amount of color it had. “What?”

“My guess, Satoshi told him before you dropped him through that portal. He knows if he kills the Demon King with no weapon or armor, he will be able to spend his points on the God Killing Sword.”

To prove his point, Dalton brought up a video showing Eichi sitting on top of his favorite boulder petting a disembodied head, talking to himself about points and his plans with it.

Ozul ran his fingers through his hair. “Well, this is inconvenient. But that should be of no concer-”

“Did I also mention he has already killed all four heavenly kings with that same boulder he is punching, and he is a few days away from the Demon King’s Keep? And that his point total is close to being able to grant him a God Killing Sword that will allow him to kill us?”

He knew Ozul was about to call bullshit. Who could believe that there was something in the point shop that would grant someone a god killing sword? Dalton gestured to hold his tongue and sent him the information to Ozul’s terminal.

After looking at the information, Ozul nodded. “Alright. It’s time to fix this, and luckily for you I know who can help us.”
