Chapter 43 - Resolution (2/2)

'I am this strong, I can thrive with no worries. There isn't any more need for me to get stronger.'

Simon looked to the broken down roof of the building he was encamped in, watching as some rain fell on him.

'I think I am done with this. I want to actually put effort into my life. I don't want to be strong from the start, I'd rather have the opportunity to become strong.'

Clenching his fist, he shouted ”SEND ME SOMEWHERE WHERE I CAN GROW!”

<*sigh*>

<It's only been about a month. If being OP and saving some kids could make everyone come to this realisation, my job would be much easier.>

<So what about those kiddos? Aren't you going to save them from the big bad devil candidate?>

'You can do that, I am not needed.'

'Just do this one favour for me. Leave me the Peter White identity ring, I need it for later.'

<Sure.>

<Since I can only send you somewhere within the confines of your novel, I might as well send you to the worst place imaginable. While we are at it, the system shop will be disabled, and you will start at age 16 with slightly higher than average talent. Of course your Visualisation will be reset to 3rd rank.>

<You wrote quite a bit about this place, but your protagonist only visited twice... this will be very interesting.>

<So how about we call this the beginning of your 'story'.>

'Thanks.'

<I can understand, but I don't think you should just leave your kiddos like this.>

<Your decisions are so spontaneous and you are quite indecisive. Just please be good.>

<Also, things will be much slower from here on out. The system will only give you quests and show you your stats. Nothing else will be available to you. Just make sure to be on time for the siege.>

<Now, let's go back a couple of years...>

”Who knows what was going through my head when I made such a random decision back then. Maybe it was the pills? Perhaps the chaos of that month? Or even my stupid personality? Who knows? I was just a harem author.”

”It turned out for the better.”
