《Is Heaven Supposed to Be Like This?!》11. Heaven Without Ranks is Hell!
Advertisement
i have yet to proofread this, well i did give it a fast read, but! i'm super tired so i probably missed alot of things...
i think i fixed most of 'em
Eh?
Eh eh?
Th-This can’t be happening....right?
It’s only been a few days since i’ve come to heaven, and the place i avoided because it was unchanging blew my mind....i mean, i haven’t seen this much action since i was in Yggdrasil....
but......the ideal body, the body that doesn’t need sleep, work or food!
i’ve only lived in that body for a day, it was the happiest day of my life.
yet, i’ve been sent to a world full of zombies.
after that, i had to battle it out with a perverted loli....
and when i finally return to heaven, i only find that the ranking system is broke.
the ranking system that is supposed to be monitored by angels and a god!
i’m seriously starting to lose trust in all of the gods.
first, a useless woman who’s only good points are her brains and beauty.
then we have an immortal masochist god, who is the only god in heaven capable of killing others.
what’s next, a narcissist who wants his own harem?
no, maybe a god that has something for guys.
nah, perhaps someone who is aroused by air!
these gods are so bizarre, i just wonder how people worship them.
even that war-loving Odin had a nicer, cleaner personality.
yup, its just that those i meet have something going on in their heads.
that being said, someone’s been knocking on my room’s door for a while.
but who cares...
ahh~ my room is actually quite simple!
its the servants quarters, but i’m the only servant~
my room is poorly furnished though.
the wallpaper is worn out, while the only window is broken.

the closet that should be brand new is on the ground broken to pieces, while the butler outfits are scattered all over the place.
those outfits were something Acil brought to me before we teleported....it should have been a gift for me, or so it appears.
maybe she wanted to apologize for kicking me so much?
and the bed....
the bed is just in a horrible state.
nah, horrible is an understatement.just seeing the state of it would make you want to hurl.
its like a crime scene.
its like.....someone’s been raped here by a cat.
nah, the bed was raped.
the pillow i used to red my head is on the floor, half open, with all the feathers within it scattered about.
the mattress is cut all over the place, with the stuffing is out here and there.
you can also see a couple of springs coming out here and there.
and of course, it is currently being used.
a petite girl is on it, seemingly sleeping with a very satisfied expression.
she is also wearing pajamas.
she looked completely normal.
no....there is only one thing that’s noteworthy, and that’s that her hands are tied inside her shirt, just like a straightjacket.
just to put it out there, i haven’t done anything at all!
i-it’s just that this room was apparently left unrepaired when Acil restored the mansion...
i-it’s not like i went in a fit of rage and destroyed everything...
ahh.
ugghh
i don’t even remember what i did to Than to even have her achieve such a level of satisfaction....
but i’m sure i haven’t popped my cherry yet!
because there is no way i’m going to forget about that.
not that i’m proud of it...
--Bang!
the door suddenly breaks open.
i lift my head and look toward the one who intruded my sanctuary.

it was a blond beauty that gave of a mature feeling about herself.
she wore a black, seductive dress that made her look like a vampire.
she, who boosts about being the most beautiful being in heaven.
although, her face is full of wrinkles.
her eyes are bloodshot, while dark circles are evident of her lack of sleep.
“Till when do you plan to stay in this place crying?!”
she shouted from the top of her lungs.
the lack of sleep is getting the better of her.
she has no control whatsoever on the tone of her voice.
or the volume it seems.
“Now get out of that corner and fix this thing about the ranks!”
if you look from her perspective, I’d look like a suicidal shut-in who is crawled in the corner of the room, crying after raping a little girl.
but both of us know that the little girl is older than both of our ages combined.
ahh, i forgot to mention, but Acil lost her status as a god.
and so did everyone else who has a rank.
well, Than is still a god because she’s pure blooded.
“Its been a four days since that incident happened, and the panic has stopped. i’ve disguised myself and went to the city to investigate while you’re here weeping....and it seems that the god of ranks has been missing.”
she reported, not as angry as i thought she would, and i probably think she expected me to become like this.....is this what you call a genius's prediction?!
“....S-since....when.....?”
“From the time all of us returned.”
“This...can’t be a coincidence, right....?”
“indeed, since he’s the one who sent that after us.”
“Hoo...so he’s the one who sent Than?”
“Yup.”
well, i don’t plan to pry upon the relationship between the three of them, since is seems complicated in many ways...
either way, why did he even bother run away?
“Was he taken, o-out?”
that's the first idea that came to mind.
i mean, why would the master mind suddenly go missing when his plan failed?
he can’t exactly be jailed.
nor can Acil go to him, since she’s been banished from the city and the upper levels that only gods can access.
so the only thing that can come to mind is that, he’s no longer here.
but then again, he couldn’t be killed.
because, the only thing that is capable of killing gods was with us.
Than has an alibi.
“So here’s what i think...”
seemingly have come to the same conclusion as i, about the fact that the god of ranks couldn’t have died, she continued
“I think he fled to hell.”
“.........? Why hell? and how does hell have anything to do with heaven.....?”
“Y’know about the fact that all the ranks are maintained by that god, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then even if he suddenly wants to stop the rank system, he can’t. since all the angels maintaining it have a little bit of that god’s power, and he can’t cut it off. unless, he’s no longer in the dimension under the influence of ‘heaven’. now then, what is the only place that isn’t under heaven’s influence?”
“Hell....?”
“Exactly. and to our fortune, we have one of the several people ruling over hell, and thats that thing sleeping on what used to be a bed.”
she says with a bored expression while pointing toward Than, who is sleeping in my ruined bed with a "Nnn~" feel to her.
“So in conclusion--”
her bloodshot eyes suddenly open wide in excitement, she points her finger in the direction of the broken window and says.
“--We’re going to hell!”

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
