(Please take note that this chapter is from the point of view of Collosus.)
How long has this world been like this? 10 years? 15 years? I don't know. I've lost track of time a long time ago. What's the point of being this strong anymore?
Ruling over the weak.
That's the reason. It feels so good to be this strong. I remember before everything happened. I remember how much people did not care about me. But I did it. I created this world.
People mistakingly call it the Nexux Genesis event. Like it happened out of nothing. The truth is everything happened because of me.
I was a recluse. I was a failure. I only played video games even my family was ashamed of me but then I stumbled upon it.
A genie lamp.
I got 3 wishes out of my discovery.
There was only one thing I wanted, to make the world we live in like the world of the games I loved so much. They were the only places where people cared about me.
If the world was the same way as games, my life would be so much better.
So I wished for the world to change into a game. The genie created the system. Then, my second wish was for me to be level 100 already while everybody was level 1. I became so strong.
I would now be the alpha dog of the world. The one people looked at. I hesitated about my third wish but then it flashed me. I asked for every genie to die. None of them could be spared.
The genie couldn't do a thing about it. Nothing. They couldn't refuse a wish.
Now, nobody could stumble upon a lamp and destroy my dream world. The best possible world. The ultimate world. My world.
Being so strong after so long began to be boring.
That's not true. I won't listen to this. I can't have any doubt about this. I'm the king of the world and it's better that way. All the people love me. They love me so much, it's incredible. That's what life is about.
I cannot let intrusive thoughts win against me. I need to stop having too weak thoughts.
People were insects born to be my servants. This was owed to me after the way the world treated me before the genie lamp.
I got out of the hotel bed.
I love being in the starting city. Everybody loves me here. I am so much stronger than everybody here that they bend to my every whim. They do elsewhere but the starting zone does it much better.
There is even a huge amount of people in front of the hotel looking for me. Waiting to catch a glimpse at me.
I'll have to make their life a little better by showing them what a god looks like.
You are no god.
Stop it! I AM A GOD!
NO AMOUNT OF BAD THOUGHT WILL CHANGE THAT! NONE!
I came out of the hotel and they all screamed. This is how a god is received.
- Colossus, I want to have your children. Please look at me. Yelled a woman.
I looked at her. She was my type.
But in a weird way. Things felt special. Things felt anormal. Something was wrong.
The world around me looked like it was breaking apart. My status window disappeared.
It's the first time it has ever happened.
I feel like I am stronger than the world around me. That I am breaking apart from it. Beyond the cracks, I could take a look at the past world. The system, I created was cracking.
I'm just being paranoid. It's impossible. It's the strongest of worlds.
YOU ARE THE TARGET OF AN HIDDEN QUEST.
YOU WILL ONLY BE NOTIFIED ONCE.
TAKE THIS AS YOUR NOTIFICATION.
I looked around but no one was strong. Not one. They were all level 1. Everyone in front of me.
So the system is telling me that I am the target of one of those weaklings. Good luck.
A part of me was relieved. Maybe I could have someone to fight with. Someone to make these days more enjoyable.
No, I should always be the strongest. I should always be the uncontested god of this world.
The situation angered me. How could the system rebel against me and create a quest to kill me?
I was immensely angered. I took the woman that yelled at me and gave her what she wanted angrily.
It wasn't enough to calm myself. I still needed to blow up some steam.
If the system wanted someone to kill me in that crowd. They would have to gain levels.
I'll make that impossible. I'll go kill all the NPCs in the starting area. Including the dungeons.
That could maybe calm my anger.
