I'll save the villainess! (GL)

"Well, Y/N. I'll await your answer."

I nod.

"I'll give you one to be satisfied with..."

Blair smiles.

"I'm glad... I could finally say it."

It makes me wonder just how many people have had to wait for so long...

Elise...

Alisa...

and now even Blair...

I'm starting to wonder if this really is set up by the system... having three romantic interests? That's unheard of.

If there's a way to know what will happen next... it's unsettling not knowing the future events..

Speaking of which... What is the truth about the system anyway? Are users really only brought here because of their desire? Or is there something else... there must be something that can tell me the future...

Many people on Earth are afraid of death. Having the desire to live isn't that rare, is it? In that case... what brings the users together?

There's really only one person who could know the answers... and that is god.

As Blair and I parted ways, I went back into the school building instead of heading back to the dorms.

The place to find god...

I twisted the knob and opened the door.

"Haha~ you've finally decided to visit me...To what do I owe the pleasure, Saviour?"

"God."

I walk closer, closing the door behind me.

"Hm?"

"Can you tell me more about the system...?"

"Oh? You'd have to elaborate, dear..."

Is she playing dumb...?

"This whole system thing... and the users... is there something about it that you haven't told me?"

"Why would you want to know? You've already defeated the 'evil' after all..."

So she is hiding something...?

"I just... need to know the truth."

"Well... to be put in simpler terms... All users have something in common... and that is... an extreme fear."

"Isn't it obvious? We're all humans. We'd all have fear."

I folded my arms.

"Yeah, but it's different. Extreme fear... phobias, trauma. All of you are united under it."

"Excuse me? All of us have trauma?"

God nods, stating matter-of-factly.

"That's right. You, the saviour, have a fear too."

"What?"

"Average life, always never even in the podium, hm?"

"What's your point?"

"I'm saying... your fear of being alone... due to your incompetence..."

Fear of being alone...

"That's also the reason why you've gotten the interests of so many people, yes? Imagine this... a saviour is outstanding. Contrast to your previous life..."

"Are you saying that our lives in this world are the opposite of our previous lives...?"

"Close, but no..."

God crosses her leg over the other.

"You see, I've just helped you overcome your fear in this life. You're afraid of being alone, but now you're surrounded by people, yes?"

"I get that... What's the point of helping us though?"

"Hmm... if I said it was just for my entertainment... would you believe me?"

I narrowed my eyes. Entertainment? Surely there's more to that... at least I've gotten more information though...

"So... Blair, the tyrant who craves power... her fear... could it be related to being helpless?"

God nods.

"You're getting the hang of it now!"

"What is your purpose...? Who are you really?"

"Whatever do you mean? I'm just your simple god~!"

She winked cutely.

Yeah I'm not believing that.

"To bring all of us here and let us live a life without our extreme fears coming true... what is your true motive?"

"Y/N... some things are better to be left unsaid. Why don't you just enjoy your life now?"

"How can you expect me to just go back to normal...?"

She placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. You're just glad to not be alone, so just accept things as it is, hm?"

"..."

I'll accept things for now I suppose... but things will come to light soon.

"Fine... You'd better tell me the truth someday though..."

"Yes, yes.. now why don't you go hook up with your wifeys, hm? Ms Harem Protagonist~"

"What-!?"

She pushes me out of the office.

"Tata~!"

She slams the door behind me.

Rude much...

Now that I have this information... it sure does make things more complicated... doesn't that mean there'll be more people around me next time too?

Growing in numbers... I can't imagine...

What did she mean Harem Protagonist anyway?!

Ugh... whatever... first of all...

To find out who the other users were in their past lives, right? This way... I can also predict their futures... somehow...

Since it's supposed to be the opposite...

My life will be having myself surrounded by people.

Blair becomes the strongest...

And the rest...

How troublesome. Guess it's back to the board...

With my future said though... Having three girlfriends... possibly more... isn't too abnormal... right...?

Where do I draw the line...?

Surrounded by people... fear of being alone...

Wait...

Fear of being alone?

Where did that come from?

Hey guys, it's me, Baldie!

I'm not dead btw. I've just had a few of my examinations, and I'm almost halfway through! I'm honestly not confident in them but uh... We'll see how TvT.

The next few chapters will be on the past lives of each user, just for some context and all. Since the flow of the events in the story were written a long time ago and then edited, it might be a little weird in terms of order so I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.

Working hard in school and on this book 🫡
(I'm having science tmr somebody send help)
