It has been roughly a week and a half since Simon gave his ultimatum to the rest of the realm. In the span of 2 years and a few months, Simon had been reincarnated twice and conquered the world. The pacing does seem rather off, almost as if not of a conventional life. It did not seem conventional one bit, every step became faster and everything fell into place. Simon's story suddenly became a series of snapshots and a worrying jumble of events.
He himself noted that life did not really have a plot. And that is what his story became, a series of events that mostly bore no correlation to each other and only drew on his decisions and not the fate given to him. He became in control of the story and he went through it like a speed run.
