I looked at death. Death looked at me. “I wasn’t expecting you to come like this…”death finally says. “Right, I wasn’t expecting it either… oh well, so am i going to be vanquished now?”, I calmly asked back. After staring at me for what felt like hours, he quietly mumbled, “ 1500 years ago, you helped me, it’s only right that i return this favour now.” “Hahaha! Are you pitying me, little brat? There’s no need though. I was getting tired of playing a puppet to those annoying bastards since a long time ago.” “You have always been an eccentric one, Chief Terra”, he sighed as he stared intently at me. “Quit staring. Hurry up and get done with the procedures. I really want to get some rest now.” “I can pull some tricks you know. , Death slowly looked away from me as he took out a greyish blue fountain pen and resumed his duties. “Ugh! Just seeing you like this reminds me of the old days as a pushover that only worked her wings off on that holy desk...Can you just start the vanquished already” Hearing my complains, Death’s hands slightly paused before he started scribbling again. “I found a loophole in the rules book sometime ago…it said that “ A mistake can be overlooked if the creator of that world itself takes responsibility by going in it and makes a unique change that changes the genre of the world and gives the readers a satisfactory ending.” “I have to listen to this gibberish rules and regulations even after I resigned! Wow!”, I didn’t flinch and kept looking back at this seven headed horse who looked like it wanted to scam me of my ticket to eternal rest. . . . I shouldn’t have agreed to that damn swindler! I should have noticed something was off when he started talking about loopholes in the Transmigration Bureau Regulations Book! I got transmigrated into the ultimate mistake of my career - “Regressing Until I Become God Again” !!! Thanks to creating the world of that novel i became the first ever God to almost create a god…which obviously went horribly wrong due to unknown reasons. Ever since then, my life as the chief of the World Creating Department of the transmigration bureau took a cosmic decline. I finally couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to resign. I felt eternal rest would be better than working as a chief who was looked down on by the enter bureau due to that incident. I had a few regrets from back then when I banished the male lead of the world into the black hole when he went on a rampage after almost becoming a god. I didn’t wish for that to happen cause i was the one who made him and that world. And now here i am, “Scale of Heavenly Virtues and Sins ” Chief Terra, an ex- transmigration bureau god instead of being rewarded eternal rest after resigning, i was transmigrated as the missing fiancé of the male lead who dies at the beginning of the novel.
