Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

At the center of the universe, in an infinitely folded space, within an infinite library formed by an infinite number of parallel and intersecting straight lines.

The magnificent bubble gazed upon the newcomer, instantly discerning his intentions.

"Give me reasons to convince me."

Then, the glorious bubble burst, and this message arrived.

"Huh? Didn't you already know that when I got here?"

For a moment, KP was stunned, and asked as if he was puzzled.

"Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent?"

The illusory dream of omniscience and omnipotence, Yog-Sothoth, the unifier of all things in endless flowing light, fell silent for a moment.

Then, he gave his own answer:

"Because even if I don't ask, you'll tell me your purpose yourself."

"If I just tell you the result, you won't be able to accept it."

"Oh, so that's what kind of person I am?"

KP seemed embarrassed as he scratched his head, though in this state he didn't even have a head.

"Yes, haven't you always been this kind of person? Even when the result is right in front of you, you still have to ask directly. Isn't that you, Chlorine?"

Yog-Sothoth responded. KP paused for a moment, then raised his hand:

"Alright, stop mentioning that name."

Yog-Sothoth gazed at the phantom of the past before him for a long time, and then, perhaps out of the inevitability of all time, nodded.

"Then, let me reiterate my purpose and reason for coming."

As KP ​​spoke, he looked at the bookshelf beside him and stared at one of the books:

"Can I take her with me? She deserves a better ending."

At the same time, I gently stroked the spine of the book, feeling the tactile sensation of the handwriting.

Mansfield Park.

This is the name of the story.

Stored in this library that records everything, a record of endless history.

"That's against the rules, KP. This story's record isn't a failure."

But Yog-Sothoth only gave this answer, and KP shrugged and said:

"I knew you'd say that, uh, did you also guess that I'd guess you'd say that?"

"Beyond this is an endless chain of nested dolls."

Yog-Sothoth reminded him, and then KP paused, and then solemnly said:

"Therefore, I will invoke the original contract."

"You probably guessed I would do this. Anyway, this is my decision."

"With your omniscience and omnipotence, you should already know the reason. She is very important; I believe she is a key to bringing about a turning point."

Yog-Sothoth nodded, as if reminding him of what he said:

"Okay. Then, there are two more promises."

And so, the book "Mansfield Park" quietly fell from the bookshelf. KP caught the book and glanced at it with pity.

Finally, we bow in homage to the Supreme Being, the great being to whom all things are one.

With a smile, he stroked the book and tossed it into the endless void.

"Go, child."

KP spoke softly, as if singing a lullaby.

Born in the hands of Serpes, raised amidst the struggles of Abhoth, and witnessed by Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth.

You will be reborn.

........................

"So, you took advantage of my inattention and stole that huge head of Nyarlathotep?"

In the large settlement, Bai Xi stared wide-eyed, gesturing as he asked Jiang Lingyi.

Jiang Lingyi glanced at him sideways:

"Let me correct you. The main reason behind this was that someone was completely unconscious at the time, and I had to do this to prevent the spoils of victory from being stolen."

"It was absolutely not an intentional attempt to steal kills, nor was it a deliberate attempt to kill Nyarlathotep."

"Your smile clearly looks genuine!"

Bai Xi shook Jiang Lingyi's shoulders vigorously, revealing a tearful cat-like expression.

"My 10/0/0 score! Just one more Nyarlathotep and it would be perfect!"

"It wouldn't matter if one of them is missing, would it?"

"It's very important!"

Bai Xi looked at the title above Jiang Lingyi's head, hesitated, and finally shouted loudly.

At the same time, tears welled up in my eyes.

This guy must have done it on purpose, right? He knows his title of "jumping kick master" doesn't sound very good, so he's showing it off to himself!

And this title was earned because I stole someone's kill!

This title is Jiang Lingyi's main module benefit; it's called the "Nyarlathotep Killer" title.

The effects don't matter, the important thing is that it's an Outer God Killer! It sounds too good to be true!

Of course, Jiang Lingyi's more important gain might be her hand cannon...

Yes, Seraphine's Trial was brought out as a prop card.

It's even a permanent item card, which is absolutely outrageous!

All I can say is that Seraphine is incredibly generous.

"Alright, alright, why don't you take a look at your title first?"

Finally, Jiang Lingyi couldn't take Bai Xi's shaking anymore and couldn't help but say this.

Bai Xi was slightly taken aback, but finally opened the settlement interface.

"Huh? Holy crap!"

The moment Bai Xi received this title, his first thought was to equip it.

Then, I'll try to make the title gold, with dazzling RGB lighting that can dazzle others.

I'm so moved, I can't believe I have such a cool title now!

Do you even know what "fortune turns like a wheel" means?

But before he could finish adjusting, Jiang Lingyi kicked him in the butt.

"Alright, that's enough. Stop being so cocky."

Jiang Lingyi said irritably, carefully putting away each piece of equipment one by one, and waved her hand.

"Alright, I'm logging off now. See you tomorrow."

"Okay, sure."

Bai Xi nodded, bid farewell to Jiang Lingyi, gazed once more at the sky over Sunset City, and then closed his eyes.

The game has shut down.

In the early morning, Jiang Lingyi slowly woke up in the game pod.

Almost instinctively, she reached out and groped to get herself up, but suddenly, she froze.

My hand touched something. Something that shouldn't have been there.

So she turned her head away.

On the table, the hand cannon named Serpes, used for the trial, lay quietly, reflecting a cold, metallic gleam.
