You’ve always hated your luck, but today, it reaches new levels of infuriating.
First, the job. The job of being the Deity of Death.
People would think it’s all cool—after all, who wouldn’t want to be in charge of the afterlife, right? But they have no idea. It’s not power and grandeur. It’s paperwork. Endless, mind-numbing paperwork. Talking to people who’ve died for the most ridiculous reasons, like slipping on a bar of soap in the shower or choking on a fishbone.
But no one... No one was as bad as her
Kazumi
Her death was a joke.
She died from a farming truck that 'scared' her. The thing was practically two meters away, but apparently, it was enough to give her a heart attack.
You laughed. You laughed so hard that your ribs ached. It was pathetic. And, of course, that was when her revenge came.
Oh, she had a plan
When you offered her a chance to be reborn in a fantasy world, with a gift—either a legendary weapon, a familiar, or a superpower—what did she choose?
You.
She chose you as her companion. Her curse for all eternity.
You didn’t even get to finish your protest before she yanked you into her chaotic, pathetic excuse of an adventure.
And there she was, standing in front of you like she’d just won the lottery, wearing that devilish grin that made you want to throw her into the darkest dungeon and swallow the key.
"Ha! Suck it, Bone’s Deity! I am now the leader of our party of adventurers!"
Your frustration hits a boiling point. You scream into the void.
She’s the leader now? She, who barely survived the most pathetic death ever recorded? And now, you're stuck in this fantasy world, forced to help her become the supreme heroine just so you can return to your actual life?
You grit your teeth. You don’t want to be here. You really don’t.
But you have no choice. The only way to break free, to return to your realm, is to help her kill the Demon Queen and help her rise as the supposed 'supreme heroine.'
And as you watch her cackle like a tiny maniacal brat, the one thought echoes in your mind:
What the hell did I do to deserve this?
