“Cyrus,” I heard Alexandra call, “get behind me.”“Do not protect him. If you would have cared from the beginning, then an in-numerous amount of them could have been saved. Why, little goddess, even your precious Paragon? Faye, I recall her name. Even if you can create her again, does it not bother you that she was destroyed in the first place?”“She is as we are,” Alexandra said. “She will not be bothered by your little games as she knows her purpose, which you do not seem to.”“Then it doesn’t matter if I kill your little mortal friend, does it?” He said.And as he did, a sickly black smoke approached from behind the death god towards the gods and me.With the fog/mist gone, I saw that the new smoke cloud was as tall and wide as I could see, and I was pretty confident in my sight.“Cyrus, take my hand. I must lend you our power, or you will not be if you are hit by Urien’s madness.” Alexandra said as she held out her hand.I took it but had to ask, “whaddya mean ‘lend you our power’
“Does it this time? Or are you, as always, unwilling to share what is to happen? You are a powerful god. Fate, future, past, present, all that will be. The gods have grown complacent, and it is time for a change."While Urien still making a somewhat tired speech about gods and whatever, destiny, maybe, I walked up to the hooded god, whoever he was he must have been pretty powerful, as Urien said.Without hesitation, I spoke up. "This would really be the perfect moment to blast him," I said, gesturing towards Urien.To my surprise, the hooded figure nodded in agreement. "In this you are right, mortal Asher," he said, his voice deep and resonant. And with a calm flick of his wrist, a bolt of lightning shot towards Urien.The power of the blast was unimaginable. It was as if the very fabric of reality was tearing apart at the seams. I could see the sky lighting up with bursts of energy, and I felt the ground shaking beneath my feet. The forces of the world were colliding, all in an effor
A special thanks to me, the writer, for writing this novel! Just joking. Thanks for coming this far. I guess I covered every trope and cliché I wanted to cover to create one of the worst “actual” web novel that is out there. Yeah, it was a train wreck through and through, but I had a lot of fun writing it. Hope you, whoever is reading this, also had at least some amount of fun reading it.It came from a somewhat shitty premise idea with isekai elements and spun into whatever it is now. Have a nice day. And as a last hurrah: Fuck you for reading this fucking garbage!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- oh hey, it doesn't hurt anymore," I said, coughing to clear my throat from screaming out my lungs just a moment before.At ‘The moment before’ I felt an excruciating pain but now it had just vanished.I padded myself down. There didn't seem to be anything wrong, so why was I shrieking like a banshee then?Huh, I can't remember what happened.I'll just have to retrace my steps.I need to think.For a job interview at the supermarket, I was outside...Because being a NEET, or more specifically, a full-blown hikikomori, doesn't pay a lot of money, and I ran out of dough.Something awful happened.I was overcome with chills and shuddered at the sensation I experienced while attempting to remember."Aww dang, now I know. I was run over!" I yelled out.Not by a freaking car or even a truck but by a damn carriage.It was my own fault anyhow, I didn't look both ways twice when crossing the road, and then BAM. Came out of nowhere too, or I was just blind. Who does
After what must have been at least a few hours I explained to the so-called goddess, in great detail, what anime, and especially isekai, was. I think I finally finished.After all, I can't expect her to have known all of that, having in mind how much more complex the universe I had known turned out to be.In the meanwhile, the goddess created a nice boudoir, with fancy chairs and very grandiose bed, in which I lay in, after she offered it to me, most likely because she felt bad for me, seeing how I had already lain on the floor for a while."Mortal Cyrus, why is it that you want to get into such a world?" The goddess asked me."I'm something of a weeb," I told her.I saw her nod but I'm not sure if I explained to her what one was. Under the haze of everything I told her I forgot if I did or not."Is there also something with RPG mechanics?" I asked."I am sorry but I also do not know what Arrpeegees are."I spend another few hours telling the goddess everything I knew about video-games
The reality of being reborn kind of sucked. I thought 'being reborn' meant that I would just, you know, 'pop' into the world like I had been, like a great many isekai-ed men, and women, were before me. But no, I'm a real, literal, baby. My parents, my family, my appearance, why, even my name have all changed. Cyrus is Asher now, which I thought was a cool name.Lying in my crib, being swayed side to side I thought there should have been another person here, but who? Oh yeah, short and grumpy Faye. Where even is she? She did hop, or rather, float, into the portal with me. As a baby I can't even call her. Screaming is a clever trick and one of the few things I can do as a baby, so I'll give that a try. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAHH" There was a strange feeling circulating throughout my head.

You know, you have to be grateful for what you have in the long run. Like good old Buff X. It could be comically overpowered, having the potential to be much stronger than I had initially thought. I discovered that I could stack it on itself when I was four years old. I played outside for along time, went home at night, used the skill, went to sleep for almost an entire day and when I finally woke up and got out of bed I could use it again, gaining two stacks. Funny how these things happen, right? But what I first failed to realize is that there are buffs for nearly anything in this world. Ever played The Sims? It’s something like that. Being too happy or being too excited could trigger a buff that would just be a rush of emotions. Eating your favorite food or just enjoying the moment would take away all my stacks, which just sucked. But since I turned eight I didn’t miss a single day where I didn’t successfully apply the buff on itself. I was ten now, and when I asked Faye
Today was my birthday, I was eighteen. In this world, eighteen is a bit older than you have to be to be considered an adult. Fifteen or sixteen I would also be one but eighteen just sounded right, to me. Until now I have lived life as any common man would but only until today, because today is the day everything will change! I stacked [Buff X] about 3650 times. Theoretically, the next buff I would get should be about 36500 times stronger, right? ‘Do I have that right, Faye?’ ... ‘Nothing to add?’ “I do not have anything to add.”Right, you never do.Over the last two decades, you rarely spoke and even then you only spoke to me when I directly addressed you.…'Fine, fine.
