PROLOGUE –part II
MY STRANGE PATRON GOD

I woke up on top of a huge bed. The mattress and the bedding was so soft I felt like
sleeping on clouds. I sprawled across the entire bed without even noticing there was anyone there.

“So bothersome… those idiots made a huge blunder this time around. They must have
lost their mind to make me work and play that game again.”

A person sat up. I froze immediately. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t notice him at all. And above it all he was too hot. You have your idols and models and then you have this person. If ancient Greek gods were alive he would be one. Finally the realization that I was shamelessly
lying in his bed, I jumped out of bed I began apologizing.

“P-please excuse m-me. I have sh-shameless lied in your bed. Forgive my behavior.”

“You’re too loud, keep it down. It is still too early.”

Standing up straight I took a better look at this person, but the more I looked the better he seemed. Every fiber of muscle was perfectly sculpted. I can with assurance say that he was the most beautiful person I ever saw. After a minute I finally composed myself enough to speak
again.

“Um, are you one of the guardians of Doren?”

“Hmm, not exactly a guardian, more like an overseer if you say it like that. But my status is of little concern to you. It seems you have gotten yourself into some troublesome matter, young child.”

Just before calling me that he glanced up and down me. That pissed me a bit. Just because I am a bit on the small side in all ways that does not make me a child. I am already a high school senior.

“I’m not a child! And of course dying is troublesome, but since I was told I would be reincarnated into another world there is no point in brooding over it. I decided to accept it and live in that world to my own pleasure and rules.”

I tried to look at his face as I spoke but it was extremely hard to concentrate on it. I found that annoying because I wanted to see his face clear and admire it, well it is not like the rest of him wasn’t an eye candy to see.

“Fufuff… You are quite the calm one. Well I should have expected from one that refused to die even when all the guardians discarded you. It has been quite a long time since someone like you appeared that made me take action as well. You are stubborn and I decided to fulfill your wish and send you to Doren.”
Discarded me? But just what was that chuckle at the beginning? I thought I was supposed to be picked up by one of the guardians to be their hero, but he said he wasn’t a guardian, then why am I here?

“I can tell you that those fools discarded you because of your looks. They are all very vain and only those with extremely good looks can represent them. And as for why you are here, it is because of your will to live and refusing to pass on. You were blocking the entrance to the Otherworld so I had to take you out. It became crowded.”

Did he just read my mind? Was he doing that all this time? UWAAH…. How embarrassing. I am sorry for thinking all those stuff. Please forgive my shamelessness Overseer-san.

“Puhaha… don’t worry too much. I am aware of your situation so I will give you a hand. But if I am to send you Doren and give you my blessing there will be some unwanted consequences that I cannot affect. Also if you are found out and most likely you will be they might drag you into their game.”

A game? Was this all a game to pass time for the guardians? Well much to their disappointment, I do not plan on taking part in their game.

“Funny, but that is the game to them. You need to live in their world and they take bets on what exactly you will achieve in your lifetime. Rather a cruel game. What’s worse them might even try and obstruct you. Since their position is lower they can still do some things to that world. I cannot interfere at all so other than now I will not be able to help out.”

“But since they are betting how I will live my life does that mean I can do whatever I want? If I wanted to conquer the world and become the supreme ruler over the people living there would they do anything to stop me?”

“Most likely they will try to obstruct you and stop you but if you become strong enough, you would be able to overcome anything they do since they can’t disturb you directly.”

He stood up from the bed and oh my god that was a sight to see. He was way too hot. While he was still in bed you could not see the entire beauty that he had. Tall, strong, beautiful and powerful, you couldn’t ask for a better combination. Now if I am able to touch that perfect body of his I would go to heaven immediately.

“Why thank you for the compliment. But it would be a shame if you died right after escaping death wouldn’t it?”
You mind reading demon, get away from my head!

“I am sorry for not asking this before, but may I know your name?”

“My name… It has been a long time since someone mentioned it. Well I have several, but you may call me Thanatos.”

“Like the Greek god of death. The one known as the most beautiful god. I must say it suits you.”

“Thank you, now let’s get on with your blessing and sending you to Doren. Remember that I warned you about the consequences. Also for some reason any title you were known for on Earth will be carried over as well, but I will not know what effect they will have. Also while my blessing may seem like a curse there is also some benefit from it. Now please close your eyes Naoko-chan.”

“I’m ready.”

Obediently I closed my eyes and waited. A curse and blessing in one go, just what will he do to me? What is that blessing in the first place? Also, I was a bit worried about that title transfer that will happen. I wasn’t exactly known by it in real life but inside the game Free World I did hold a title that people called me and it was rather embarrassing.

As I waited, I still felt something warm on my lips. Opening my eyes in shock I found his face extremely close to my own. I tried to pull away but his hands held me perfectly still not allowing me to escape. I felt great weariness pressuring me and my eyes began to close once again. The last thing I felt was that he parted his lips from mine I ever so gently kissed my scarred eye.
