"Logos, I feel like a villain, you know?" Varian yawned as he threw himself on the bed.
The research was coming to a close and he should be good in a day or two.
[Villain? Please have some shame. Even villains just want to rule the world. You're about to destroy the entire planet.]
Varian shrugged.
[…Host, you are a hero who fought against abyssals to protect your race. In the end, you became the very thing you fought against. The irony is too heavy.]
"Will you shut up?" Varian rolled his eyes and sat cross legged on the bed, grabbing his feet. "This world will be rest after destruction. The people here won't really die.
The creator of these worlds took enough help from his Genesis mates. For my own conscience, I will use only enough power that their souls won't be oblierated so they can still be resurrected."
[Is it only for conscience?] Logos asked in a sharp tone, like the boss who crossed her hands and looked at the employee to reveal how much he really worked on the project.
"Well…" Varian coughed lightly. "It's good for business."
[Speak english!]
"I won't be teleported back immediately. I can use that window to study their resurrection and get a breakthrough in the life, death and soul paths."
[…] There was no sound but it felt like Logos was staring at him with a disdainful gaze.
"It's a win-win, really! They die, like they always do and I can get some XP! Is that too much to ask?
You know what? I love sandworm the most! He didn't even complain! Sandworm Supremacy forever!"
Varian argued with an indignant expression, like a son who got caught drinking underage and trying to convince his mother that it's okay she said he's a big boy responsible for his room when he turned 14.
[You're not entirely wrong in this. But those three heroes will die.]
"From the bottom of my heart, I hope they all have 1 billion points for another life."
[Your conscience is really dead, killing three inn—well, they're not that innocent, but anyways, three young men.]
"What do you want me to do?"
[What are you willing to do?]
"Err, I'll tell them better luck next life?" Varian scratched his chin. "Hey, I'll even write it on a card! I loved it when my mother wrote them for me!"
[If you put it that way, I think it works. Tell them that a mysterious, powerful, young and elegant entity also laments that they had to die due to the actions of someone related to it.]
"…"
[What?] Logos asked after a minute of awkward silence.
"Nothing." Varian stiffled a chuckle and said with a serious expression. "I thought I was a braggart but I should learn a thing or two from you."
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm [Ungrateful host, when will you appreciate how nice this system has been to you?]
"Heh. If anything, I'm the one tolerating you."
[Wha—It's really a world where a thief calls others as thieves.]
Logos dropped out of the conversation, unwilling to tolerate the cheeky bastard's infuriating words any longer.
Varian shook his head and channeled the aura through his body.
[Contestant: Varian
Merit Points: 100
Rank: S (corresponds to Rank 1)]
There's a unique way to power up in this world.
Train and hunt monsters.
Then, you'd to go to SS and finally SSS, equivalent to rank 2 and rank 3.
Varian didn't want to follow the conventional method.
So, using his knowledge of the Order rules applied to this world, he started doing some casual no hands push ups while manipulating the rules around him.
[You have trained hard!
Your power increases!]
[You have trained hard!
Your power increases!]
[You…]
[…]
[Congratulations, you leveled up!]
And just like that, the world system was decieved. While everyone was playing the game honestly, grinding weeks, he had taken the mod route.
[SS rank (rank 2)]
"Not bad,"
After pulling off a feat that would've sent even the relatively calm Princess into hysteric screaming, Varian went back to studying the order power, intending to breakthrough sooner than later.
And while this happened, a messengar came running into the Demon King's castle.
Disregarding the etiquitte, he ran across the corridors and blasted open the large door of the banquet hall.
The chattering stopped.
All the demons dropped whatever they were doing and looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
The Demon King stood up and turned to the messenger, the flames in his eyesockets jumping and burning a deadly red.
A simmering tension filled the air and an explosion was a single word away.
"What happened?" The maid beside the Demon King stepped forward and asked in a stern tone.
"Y-Your Highness…I-I saw…" The messenger's face was overflowing with sweat, like someone splashed him with water. With trembling hands, he took out a crystal ball and pointed at it with a sickly expression.
The Demon King hummed and the crystal ball activated without any contact.
Princess Elizabeth's solemn yet pale face appeared in the hall. "Your Majesty, the Demon King, there is a vision I want to share with you…"
While this happened, Varian tried to chip away the last bits of resistance for his ascendance to rank 8.
Because he was so immersed, other than taking care of his room's immediate security, he didn't bother to keep an eye on other places.
He got into the so-called 'zone' where he even began to forget about the room's security and solely focused on the chains blocking his paths.
Time passed without his notice and the rising sun begun to set.
'If space and time are the basic powers which draw sketch of a universe.
If life and death, not just organic but even the life and death of a star, a blackhole and a planet, enable change of a unit.
Then order and chaos, they'll have t—'
Boom!
The door to his room as well as the walls were blasted to pieces in a blink.
The Demon King, the three heroes, the five human kings and the demon generals appeared, surrounding him from all directions, their weapons pointing at him.
