My mom? I..
No way.
You can’t do that.
“How right you are. I lied. Your mother isn’t quite back to life yet.”
Yet he says. Frankly I hadn’t even thought about the validity of what he was saying. Just the thought of mom made me..
“There’s quite a few hassles that have to dealt with, paperwork to be filed, and your world’s gods to be negotiated with. Honestly, dealing with people who have just died is so much easier.”
I struggled to my feet painfully while clutching at the heartrending ache in my chest. My breath came out in short, ragged bursts, and the metallic taste of iron was all I could taste. The slimes gathered onto my feet, whether to support me or stop me, I don’t know, but I shook them off.
“I would have absolutely loved to have her with me right now to motivate you to conquer the world, but I didn’t expect that you would be found and brought here so soon. I’m sure that next time you’ll be able to greet her~”
What happens if I don’t conquer the world? The way he had stated his demands made no sense. Grant the reward before the deed was done? There’s no way anyone would do that. It was like putting the cart before the horse. Unless..
“Of course if you refuse my generous offer, I’m afraid I have no choice but to end your mother’s life.”
FOCKER.
“That’s simply just how it is, just good business.”
I WILL.
“If you don’t fulfill the end of your deal, I won’t be able to fulfill mine.”
KILL.
“Dying a second time can’t be that painful right?”
YOU.
“You are most welcome to try my 7th. I’ll be waiting.”
I lashed out to hit him, but he had already made well his escape, splitting apart into dark tendrils as he gracefully bowed away with a devilish smile. Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard.
I can’t take it anymore. What am I supposed to do. What can I do?! There’s no answer, no solution, no ..
<<Cornered Animal Lv. 1 has activated. Stats increased by 50%.>>
Absolutely useless.
How naïve could I possibly be? Dreams of the ideal class or fantasies of living in another world. It was all garbage. The life of my mom is weighing down on me. This isn’t a game.
This is just a nightmare.
.
.
Then it’s simple isn’t it. Conquer the world? The great dominators of past centuries couldn’t do it. Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar or even the dreaded Hitler. They had not the strength.
I’ll just become even more of a monster myself, a being that even the gods will not dare touch. No matter the cost, there is nothing that cannot be given up for my pursuit of power.
.
.
No, that’s not right. What am I thinking? What is wrong with me?! My mind feels like splitting, tearing, and there’s nothing I can do. The power to surpass the gods or my mother, which do I pick?
.
.
I’m not that far gone yet. I can feel my heartbeat start to fall ever so slowly as I start to contain my rage. I wrap and wrap and bind and bind it tighter and tighter, but even then I do not feel safe. I lock it up and throw away the key, but it’s a key that will always returns to your hand. But for now… My mother comes first.
And to do that, I need to conquer the world. What is the first step towards world domination for a weak girl surrounded by slimes deep in the darkness of a sewer?
It’s to level up. I pick up the twisted dagger and tattered cloak off the ground that had been dropped by the rat-man and carried by the slimes. Did they pick these up for me? If they did, I suppose they’re being awfully considerate. Or perhaps it’s natural towards the being that is their Demon Lord?
I try to not think about it too deeply as I don the cloak. There’s three pathways out of this cavern that I can pick, which are a large and wide waterway, a smaller waterway, or what looks like an extremely narrow tunnel. The slimes brought me through the large waterway, so that path isn’t an option. It’s impossible for me as a bipedal creature to fight that furry crocodile right now. There was simply too vast of a physical and territorial advantage to even attempt to try.
Which leaves me two options, the narrow passage or the small waterway. Neither is very appealing so it’s a matter of which I dislike less at this point. On one hand, it might be possible for smaller furry crocodiles to be in the waterway, so I already know the obvious dangers to that path.
However, since the other path is not a waterway, but happens to be cold and damp, the likelihood of spiders is extremely high. Since it’s also very narrow, my chances of escape are tiny. If it’s an expected fantasy size spider, such as anything bigger than my head, it’ll be inevitable that I’ll be caught. Also, I don’t like spiders. So, the small waterway path it is.
I begin to trudge my way out of the cavern down the waterway, looking for something to increase my levels as my small retinue of slimes follow me.
