Hello. Nice to meet you. I am the author and the narrator of this god forsaken and bad story.
I generally don't interfere with the story however, I messed up so badly that I had to interfere not once, not twice but three times.
It just happened because I messed up the pacing. I put so many traits in this story, so many cliches that messed the story that I had to restart.
I would say that the reboot is going well however I am getting impatient. I don't have a specific ending planned.
Who am I kidding? I am a guy who is spending his time, aimlessly for the last 250 billion years.
So yeah, I want a break. I think at the end of the story, I would invite Akatsuki.
He is basically my better half and we would have a nice chat. After that, I would quit as an author and go on a trip.
My shut in days have continued long enough. It's time to face reality which I totally despised.
Now let's go back to the story. Akatsuki has met Medea and the Valkyries. Last time, I didn't give their party a name. And the goddess I mentioned was vague.
Not to mention, it was cringe. I skipped way too much. I finished the otherworld adventure way too quickly.
And then dragged them to Akatsuki's world. The female characters are identical. In a bad way, they are identical.
Anyway, let's just go on and try to write a bit more details.
And I will be writing Akatsuki's point of view. He is basically the same as me.
◇◇◇◇◇
I am having tea with Medea. I mentioned it before, didn't I? A goddess from another world made me a proposal.
If I just fulfill her wishes, she will give me the thing I wanted the most.
And I accepted. Her wish was to stop the demon king who was rampaging in her planet.
She would let me keep my own body until my task is finished. So I did it. It was hard. I had got immortality and elemental manipulation. It was really helpful but killing another being with immortality is tough.
You need to get the conditions right to perfectly kill that being.
The demon king of that time had his immortality based on objects. Unless a certain object is destroyed, he would keep coming back.
So I had to do that and it took us 4 whole years to completely defeat the demon king.
Medea being the goddess was happy but then came a twist. She turned on me. Which I had already expected.
She threw into the void which was actually a dumping ground.
Man, I thought I was dead? But thanks to the immortality, I didn't die. However, I was stuck. It was a blackhole.
I couldn't get out. That's when I noticed it. Selene gave me three blessings. One for immortality, one for my elemental manipulation and the last one was a surprise.
It turns out that I was directly connected to the Akashik records. I was inscribed in the library so I can't be killed unless someone erases me.
I went to the library and made a detour. It is connected to every dimension and every possibility. I can freely move through it.
And there you have it. I came back and hid away in the little cave until today.
I had no intention of leaving the cave. But a group of girls stumbled into my cave. They are an adventurer party.
I sealed myself inside a crystal to prevent being found and I had set a timer. And they came here when the timer was about to run out. It was awkward.
I was still groggy so I just ignored them and went back to sleep. They probably left afterwards.
That wasn't the worst. This is what happened after they left.
[Knock Knock]
I heard a knock on my door. But I was too tired so I ignored it. Who can come to my house anyway?
But that was a poor decision. Because I regretted it immediately.
[Bang] Something broke. And I heard heavy footsteps.
I got up and sat on my bed to see who it was. And the door to my room opened. Behind that was a face that sent shivers down to my very soul.
It was my mother. Now you must be wondering how my mother is here and who actually is my mother?
My parents are the same as before. The ones who took me in are the ones who gave birth to my soul. Sounds complex but true.
My parents are the God King Zeus and Queen Hera. When she was giving birth to me, my soul slipped out of my body and traveled to the mortal realm and took over the artificial body.
And they came to the mortal realm as humans and raised me. So they are my parents.
And my mother came to me like an ashura. It was horrifying. She gave me a sermon. It went on for at least 4 hours.
And after I managed to calm her down, she went back saying that she will be back again.
It was horrible. I was laying on the grass. I was basking in the sunlight. I am usually a night person but sometimes sunshine isn't bad either.
I fell asleep for a moment there but soon regained my consciousness.
They are back. The girls who discovered me the other day are back. I guess I should satisfy their curiosity.
They are simply back because they are intrigued by me. So if they are satisfied, they will leave me alone.
And a lot of things happened. I went to the city with them and met Medea. Never did I think that I would meet her. And in that city of all places.
And we had a nice chat albeit short. Because the people were looking at us. And so I invited her to my house.
"So, how are things these days?"
"The same as always. It's boring. When you were around, it was more interesting." (Medea)
"I knew that. Anyway, about the summoning.."
"I know. You are worried about them coming to a world of magic, right?" (Medea)
"Yes. It's probably too much to ask. Anyway, I will be present when you summon them. And I will take care of the demon king. Not them. Because, I very well know the system. They defeat the demon king and become heroes. And then they will be drowned in despair and they will become the new demon king. It's a necessary evil."
"Makes things easier as you know." (Medea)
"I will create a substitute demon king. So when is the summoning?"
"Two days from now." (Medea)
"I will be present. Make sure you tell the humans. Because, they are blindly devoted to you. It'll be troublesome if they attack me."
"I know. But more importantly, you have guests incoming." (Medea)
"I know. So you should go back and finish your oracle. I will fill them in."
"Thanks. I thought you hated me but you seem fine to me." (Medea)
"I do hate you. But I have been brooding for 5000 years now. Can't be a child forever."
"That's what I like about you. Now I shall take my leave, Prince Akatsuki." (Medea)
And she disappeared. Still, prince huh?
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Now then, the Valkyries are here. So I should explain everything to them and the role as well.
They will be pivotal to my plan. I will make them kill the demon king and make sure that they don't get isolated.
Human society is kinda weird. But you have to live with what you have.
