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”

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
