5 Calamitis (2/2)

I decided to be polite for good measure.

[Well, isn't that refreshing? Well, dear resident. Are you willing to complete a task for me? Don't worry, it's an easy one. Even a toddler could do it. Would you please teach and raise two very important individuals for me? Their names are Thomas Hark and Fur Charleston.]

(*〇□〇)...!

...

This must be a prank, right?

I just got here... ...am I really fated to destroy the world? I'm pretty sure that over time, this world will get to me and I'll want to keep it safe.

Another thing--I can't kill anyone. Yeah, sure, I think I can stomach killing a squirrel or something but a Human? Or Elf? Or Beast man?

NO WAY!

There is no way in hell that I'd be able to do that!

And besides, what if I meet up with Calamitis's father? He's going to beat the shit out of me because his asshole (and bad ass) son became a milk-drinking, blanket-hugging coward!

Just thinking about it makes me shiver with fear.

”No.” I decisively answered the System. I'd rather stay in this hell hole then experience the life of a world destroyer!

I was greeted with silence. Oddly enough, I didn't get another message. Neither did the door close on me like it should.

Did the System glitch out on me? Or is it still processing?

I waited for a few seconds before I attempted to step back into the Corridor of Wandering Souls.

That's right. I ATTEMPTED to step back.

But guess what happened?

You guessed it.

I can't move.

Not. An. Inch.

Urrrrrrrgghhhhhh. Move you damn foot!

Systemmmm!!! I know this is your doiiiiinnnggg!!! Why?!

I played a game of internal tug-of-war before I gave up.

”System?” I asked the white void. I didn't really expect an answer back.

[Could you please repeat your answer, o' resident of the Corridor of Wandering Souls?]

Oh shit.

Was the answer ”No” just a fancy decoration?

That is just fucked up!

As a human, I have my rights! I'll get my lawyer on you System once I find one!

”Yes.”

Fine. I'll play your game...

..until I think of a better plan.

You won't get away with this!

Because believe or not, I'm your Darth Vader!

I'M YOUR FATHERRRRRR!!!!!
