Chapter 39 A New Resolution



The Sacred Hall, a place that exists in another dimension outside the bounds of space and time.r

As the domain of God, where He watches the world, this magnificent place has no concept or laws that bind the world.r

Imagination is transformed into reality, exhaustion and discomfort do not exist. Hunger is absent as well, and boredom has been removed due to the medium of entertainment available in the holy place.r

The Golden Screen, also known as the World’s Mirror. Using this means, one can observe any person, place, or thing that exists in the world.r

I suppose this was how God kept track of everything that goes on in everyone’s lives. The famed omniscience that is attributed to his deity was all because of a screen that projects all events to him.r

As I spent my days in the Sacred Hall, having my fill of the events of the world, I did not concern myself with time, since such a concept did not exist there.r

I was only engrossed with my desire of watching the final struggle of humanity. Spraying blood and endless piles of corpses, despairing sights and the very personification of battles, such were the contents of the large screen I looked at without any restriction.r

While I watched mankind suffer in the hands of the Demons, I did not feel remorse for my race, nor anger toward the Demons. Only two emotions were constant in my time there. Gratitude for not being among the humans in their war against the Demons… and absolute pleasure in the sight of pain.r

Ah, how I wished for that moment to last forever…r.

But, it seemed God had a different idea. My time there was short-lived.r

“NOT ONLY ARE YOU LAZY, BUT YOU ARE ALSO A DISORDERLY AND CARELESS MAN. YOU ARE SLUGGISH, SLOTHFUL, UNMOTIVATED, RUDE… HAVING YOU HERE IS TOO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME… YOU MUST LEAVE MY SACRED HALL!”r

The unreasonable old fart evicted me from the Sacred Hall without any notice, forcing me to return to the miserable world I enjoyed watching.r

Of course, I would be terrified. Judging my circumstances by the events I saw, there was no way I wouldn’t be scared.r

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the several trials, and the ugliness of human nature brought about by the desperate circumstances surrounding the denizens of Earth… all of the horrors I enjoyed from a distance would now be my reality.r

Or so I thought…r

“This world… is different from what I expected…” I mumbled, taking a closer look around me.r

For the first time, I finally understood, remembering one of the earliest memories I had in the Sacred Hall.r

“This is the past… everything I saw back then… they haven’t happened yet!”r

With this realization, a new understanding permeated my troubled mind and in an instant, my questions were answered.r

Since the Sacred Hall had no factor of time, I was able to return some days after I was summoned.r

However, according to how long I spent there and watched Earth, it must have been several years ahead.r

‘It’s almost unbelievable, but it’s true… I remember now…’r

It felt like my head was being cleared up, and what seemed to fog my mind dissipated.r

I was too focused on survival and fear, always on the run and thinking of my goal and the next step that I didn’t pause to take in everything I had learned.r

‘Maybe it’s due to my high intelligence stat, but a lot of my memories are more vivid than before. It’s almost as clear as day.’r

“This entire area was razed to the ground by ‘War’ wasn’t it? Why didn’t I find it strange that I appeared here, with nearly everything being intact?”r

While mumbling, my mind went to the Demons I first saw when I awoke. The reason I don’t recognize them, even till this moment, is because their kind must have grown extinct when I became more observant of the Demons.r

‘More powerful ones are coming…’ I suddenly shuddered.r

The sufferings I faced in my apartment would be nothing compared to the Demons that I would have to survive in the coming times.r

‘Fortunately, my Level is quite high right now. If I use the memories I have well, and take even more supplies and necessary resources, I should be able to manage.’r

“I may not have an Overpowered Gift like those lucky bastards, and I definitely can’t warp reality or generate solar nexuses, but… with this [Subspace] Gift of mine, I’ll become the most OP person here!” I declared with a wide grin.r

“Kyaaaaaa!!!” The voice of the expedition team’s leader cut into my resolution, snapping me out of my very long line of thought.r

“Ah, I forgot about those guys…”r

The leader was sent flying, crashing into a pile of rubble as she spat out blood. Her body throbbed as she struggled to stand, but even I could tell that it was merely an act of bravado.r

“Several bones seem to be broken already, and her stamina should be depleted by now. Yet, she was still fighting. How… how…”r

“… How stupid can you be?” I grinned sadistically.r

If she was smart, she would have ditched her team and allowed the Demon to feed on them while she escaped. Yet, she was standing like an idiot, waiting for the monster to kill her, and then proceed to finish off her teammates.r

“Isn’t that the height of stupidity? In the end, everyone dies!” I grumbled internally.r

‘I can never understand idiots…’r

Even when I watched countless anime and read many novels, the actions of many Heroes and protagonists sickened me. If it weren’t for the ‘plot armor’, they would be long dead.r

Unlike those, this was the real world. No one in their logical mind would willingly sacrifice themselves to save another, especially when they didn’t have enough strength to do so.r

“Ultimately, you won’t protect anything and just die along with everyone else. Stupid!”r

Looking at the team, they weren’t going to last another minute. Some of them were losing blood, while the others would soon be eaten alive after the Demon was done with their leader.r

While that would be interesting, in its own way, to watch… I wasn’t going to allow that this time.r

Of course, it wasn’t my concern whether the team lived or died, but…r

“Since I’m in a good mood right now, I might as well offer some charity services!”r

Of course, the profit I would gain was going to be immense, so it would be a win-win situation. Not a bad deal!r

“This reminds me of a bright idea… it should come in handy…”r
