Author’s Note: IMPORTANT
Guys, I think I can’t do the everyday updates since I do this out of my free time in my work.
I use 3 hours of my free time in thinking, writing and proofreading a chapter so it takes time.
(Ssssshhhhhhh) don’t tell my boss.
How about home? Nah, I need to sleep since my work is hectic and I use this for stress relief so please understand and thanks for your support.
Okay since me too got excited about my work. I’ll release this chapter.
_______________________________________________________________
I reach the small room and find a table. I look under it and found a red button. There’s a saying that 'never ever press the red button’ but my hand unconsciously press it.
‘Crap’
A white light suddenly shines in front of me, blinding me for few seconds. There an angel figure stand before me. I was not surprise to these events anymore.
The angel smiles and greets me.
“Hello there, mortal”
“Good day angel”
“I’m Genesi and it seems you are not surprise by my appearance”
“I’m Joel…Well things like these are sort of..normal events to me”
“Ohh? So you’ve met others also?”
“Yeah two..wait three?....well whatever you’re the third or fourth one”
“That’s unexpected; it seems you are not normal, may I assume that you also meet True God?”
“Yes, actually he is the one who brought me into this world”
“I see an otherworlder…it seems this becomes easier to me”
“By the way, why are you here in this dungeon?”
“Dungeon? Mhhhmmm..let me feel the surroundings first”
He closes his eyes for a second then he speaks.
“It seems the Demonica Empire found this room and built a dungeon here to protect and study this room out of their curiosity but they never knew that I am here”
“And why there’s a red button there. They might press it and you just meet them right?”
“Unfortunately, the red button can be press by any good people and that’s my uhmm..alarm clock”
I think he is slightly embarrass saying the last two words.
“alarm clock?..Okay so I am one of those good people but I don’t think so”
I do n't bother to know about his ‘alarm clock’ as weird things happen normally here.
“As long as you are not evil, it’s fine”
Joel: “Okay so why you’re here?”
“To complete my mission”
Joel: “Mission? And don’t look at me like that”
It seems the angel stares at me and I have a feeling that this one will give me some responsibility which I don’t like and troublesome.
“You never ask our Creator why you are sent in this world, aren’t you.”
Joel:“Ahh…yes since my mind on that time is to escape my boring life and I think that if he asks, he already knows my answer about it”
“Do you not find it strange that sending you to this world and finding me, not a coincidence?”
Joel: “Well, yes and no, coincidence, fate, destiny, prophecy like stuffs.. I don’t really care about it. What’s done is done."

“Okay, let’s move on to discuss about my mission. My mission is--”
Joel: “Wait...why we discuss about your mission? Why not complete it? And why do I have a feeling that I will be involve on something big and troublesome?”
I interrupt him because I don’t like a person who passes their own responsibility to others!
“You are sharp and yes it’s big and troublesome but I need you to do it”
Joel: *Sigh*“ Haaaaah…from True God I guess”
“Yes, we angels are messengers from God, I think you are the most capable person in doing this. I feel it. I am here in front of you to deliver the message in other words your mission”
Please don't just feel it that I am capable. I feel like to retort.
Joel: “Mission? Okay let’s hear it before I decide”
It seems this is the price I pay for transporting in this world. I have no problem following orders from a True God at first place and I think I can find a way to enjoy my life while doing my job. It seems my happy-go-hunting life will shorten and worst, it ends.
“Very well, I’ll start. I fell asleep here after I grant blessing and curse after the Great Demon Invasion and I need years to recover my holy powers which takes thousands of years here. Why my powers take time? Since I came from different existence with different sense of time and you know about it right?”
This angel does some sort of blessing and curse and I think I know the details about it, [World Knowledge]. And yes, angels or in God realm has different sense of time compared to mortal realm. I don’t know the exact scale but there 1 second is equivalent to more or less thousands or millions of years in mortal realm which may cause the God less bored? Let’s not pursue about God. There sense of time has lengthy difference compared here, in mortal realm. Maybe there 1 day is equivalent to. Damn, too many zeroes, as I try to calculate it in my brain.
I nod and he continues.
“This world is in chaos for millions of years, this world is a lot older than Earth but the situation never improved. Chaos spread everywhere, war and conflicts, countless victims and people with good intention dies before they accomplish good things which a good opportunity turned wasted. Actually I managed to teach a certain race, high humans to be exact and they actually provide peace and prosperity for hundreds of years until an invasion stops theirprogress which lead by a devil. "
I think I know about that story. The angel continues.
"High number of miserable souls flowing into the spirit realm which is very alarming and makes me sad at the same time. This world is one of those that has high death rate compared to other worlds of the same category or branch. There’s a chance that these poor souls gathered in there will form a lesser devil and can cause disturbances to the mortal realm.
My mission is to decrease the amount of miserable souls flowing as possible to decrease that chance. And I need your help for that.”

Joel: “And why should I care? That’s your job right? And how many souls needed to become a lesser devil and its success rate?”
“Please don’t be like that… you have the power to do so. It takes 6 times 111,111,111,111 souls and the success rate is 6 times 1.11%”
The angel said those ‘numbers times numbers’ as he is forbidden to directly tell me the exact figures. The needed souls are those doesn't want to rest in peace or souls who suffer great despair. In other words, souls with lingering negative emotions.
Joel: “That’s too many and so low success rate. I think I don’t want to do it and I’m satisfied with my free life”
“I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding between us, I didn’t state your mission yet”
Joel: “Oh sorry, I thought you want me to end this conflicts which can be done by me using nuclear bombs”
Nuclear bombing is the fastest solution to end this world’s conflicts and may stop the number of miserable souls from flowing but in exchange my conscience will haunt me for eternity and I will be left alone and back to my boring life which is a very bad move.
“Please don’t make my job complicated. Your mission is to bring change to this world.”
Joel: “Change the world? So my role is to become a world changer?..Mhhhmmm..I have some ideas on how to achieve it”
That’s one way to reduce the number of miserable souls flowing into the spirit realm by changing the world for betterment like Earth but I think I need more than that. It’s still better than nuclear bombing.
“Good. I have high expectations of you. And please don’t use some wide scale nuclear bombing if necessary“
Joel: “If necessary got it…Leave it to me”
The angel look at me with doubt in his eyes, maybe he is concern that the world will end because of me (nuclear bombs) not by the devils.
“And I have something to tell you. If you fail, this world will end”
Joel: “Ohh? Why? WHHHAAATTT??”
I am shock by his last statement as I was thinking of myself ending this world before. Okay let’s calm down, breath in, breath out, oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
Damn, I am in panic mode, my heart is beating faster, I need to build a spaceship as soon as possible and hopefully find a habitable planet. I need some supplies too such as food, water, eggs, metals, monsters, mating partner or partners? and also eggs. Damn this is not the time to think about ostrich eggs.
My head alarms stating ‘’Evac, we need to evac. Red code this is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill. Please evacuate’ something like that. Is this world ends in planet explosion? A meteor shower? A super-duper gigantic monster that tramples this planet? The sun explodes? UFO laser beaming this world? A nearby star explodes causes supernova or could it be a black hole? So many theories running in my head within seconds cause of my [Augmented Brain] and my heart is racing using the SR-71 Blackbird engine. As I running my thoughts, the angel interrupts me.
“Please calm down…calm down please..hello?”
Joel: “Oh sorry when do this planet will end? Cause I need to free all my schedules and appointments”
As if I have appointments and schedules, I was just planning to visit some ruins and discover some new creatures or monsters especially the legendary ones.
“It depends, the more people dies miserably the faster this world end. Why? “
Joel: “I think I need to decline the mission and I have to go. Have a nice day. Bye.”
As I was going to run, my feet suddenly froze, is this magic? Ah its angel’s power, supernatural.
“Please calm down. Even you manage to escape this planet the nearest habitable planet takes 1 Quintillion years to reach even you use the speed of light and also you can’t teleport as you don’t know its coordinates, sorry”
As the angel said that, it makes my heart breaks. 1 Quintillion?, Damn too many zeroes to cover. Even in speed of light, I am not able to reach it and I will just get bored in space even if I modify my body to become close to immortal and even if I have companion they will just die in boredom, I will just die in boredom. Oh no, guess I have two options which is to accept or decline and have a quintillion-lifelong boredom.
Joel: “Haaah…Guess I have no choice. I’ll accept by the way how the world ends?”
“Fufufufu..you have a very very incredible imagination about end of the world but it’s different ‘end’. This world will end because the devils’ influence grow larger and larger that someday they will able to modify this world like hell”
Joel: “Hell? That’s much worse than quintillion-long boredom! At least I have companions screaming and shouting”
I imagine myself swimming in the inextinguishable hellfire together with others, screaming and suffering in pain for eternity. I don’t want that. In Bible, it states that hell will last for eternity after the Last and Final Holy War.
“Yeah, more or less”
Joel:“Oh so in other words you want me also to balance things out? As to not give more power to the devils? Cause it feeds to negative energy”
“I am impressed that you are sharp and I hate to say it but you are right. At first, this world is built for all magical creatures to live freely but the devil interrupts the world’s balance by influencing and motivating the dark emotions inside the creatures. Which in return, makes the devil strengthen here and they can influence Earth which will cause disasters leading to great casualties.”
Damn, this devils they do nothing but cause damages here and there. I see the beauty of this world if this will be modified by devils, it will turn into hell and I don’t want to live where magma is under my feet. My treasure hunting is a bit failure since I found an angel giving me a responsibility. It’s like a quest in video games. It seems my peaceful life will get busy from now on.
Joel: “Okay, I’ll accept this mission but on one condition”
“State it”
Joel: “I need access to this World’s System”

The Joy of Evolution
"Alright, so I have this idea, a completely original one by the way, never done before." I say. "Alright, lets hear it." You reply happily. "What if you got trapped in the body of a tentacle monster that looks like a virus in a world that is like a videogame, with skills and... whoops slip of the tendril there, what I meant to say is Mutations and Levels as you evolve your way up from being that lowly creature into a slightly better lowly creature, all the while, an evil devil person watches over you for entertainment purposes." I say making weird hand gestures across the table. "Oh and that main character used to be a human male and uses its past experience as one to survive in this new world as a little mass of flesh." I pull out a little ball with suction cup tendrils and show you. "So, what do you think?" " I dont know seems, a little sameish, I think Im gonna go." You say as you start to get up from your worn but still plush velvet chair. "Wait" I sigh, " I didnt want to do this but you leave me no choice, I promise you an extremely diverse harem..." The door closes as you leave. "They'll come back." I say hopeful. Cover: https://phil.cdc.gov/Details.aspx?pid=21073
