CHAPTER 52 - Crisfa, a good friend.
(A while back.)
The supreme God was peacefully reading a book, sitting on his throne, quite calm and relaxed, but that tranquility ended when "he" appeared.
"Hello, hello, hello!!"
Crisfa appeared behind him and covered his eyes with his hands.
"Who am I?! Come on, guess, guess!"
Crisfa, the former God of games.
He was a young God. He had the appearance of a 20-year-old boy and a big smile on his face, a smile full of confidence and joy.
His hair was white, and his eyes were pink. His teeth were sharp, resembling a shark's teeth. Why were his teeth like that? He modified them himself because he believed they looked cool that way, and cool is always fun, or at least that's what he thought.
"Crisfa, what do you want? I'm busy."
"Come on, come on, boss. Don't be boring. I came to play. Even the supreme God needs a break."
"Yes, you're right, I need a break... A break from you."
He snapped his fingers, and Crisfa disappeared for a few seconds.
He reappeared in front of the supreme God, and his clothes were torn. He had wounds all over his body. Clearly, he suffered a lot for some reason.
"You're so mean! Why did you send me to that dimension?!"
"So you would stop bothering me."
"Boo, party pooper... Anyway, I just created something. It's called 'Video Games.' I'm sure it will be a hit with humans. Do you want to play with me?! Come on, you'll have fun!"
"No."
"Boo, party pooper. Come on, it took me a long time to create it. Thinking about the storylines of the video games almost made my head explode, but it was worth it! Come and play! And I'll also show you the new heroes I designed for the comics! One of them shoots webs, and..."
"No. Go away."
Crisfa pouted and crossed his arms.
"You're so boring, boss. Come on, smile a little! If you keep living your life without having fun, you'll never be able to enjoy it. You may be the most powerful God, but that doesn't mean you're the happiest. The people who have fun in their lives are the happiest. Well, I'm leaving. I have a date with Nirfa. But this isn't over! You will play with me!"
He smiled and raised his thumb.
"I hope you learn to appreciate your life more! See you later, boss!"
Crisfa disappeared, and the supreme God smiled a little.
"Hmmmmh... Video games, huh...? Crisfa is an excellent God, but why does he worry so much about simple beings that only exist to keep our world alive? I will never understand your way of thinking."

A beautiful girl was cutting black apples while humming. She had white, long hair and wore a black dress. Her eyes were red and beautiful.
She was in a clean and huge kitchen, which perfectly reflected her pure, innocent, polite, and organized personality, unlike Crisfa, who was more carefree and preferred to have fun rather than do boring things like cleaning.
She was Nirfa, Crisfa's wife.
Crisfa appeared behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.
"Hello, beautiful, lovely, pretty, and adorable lady. Who am I? Here's a hint, I'm your sweetheart."
Nirfa smiled upon hearing Crisfa's voice and caressed his hand.
"I don't know. I need a little more help."
"I'll give you some clues. I'm someone fun, hardworking, a little ugly, and someone who loves you very much."
"Crisfa? No, you're not Crisfa. My handsome husband is not ugly, he's very handsome."
"Hehe. Sorry, my self-esteem is not very high today."
Crisfa took Nirfa's hands and brought his face close to hers.
"Hello, beautiful."
He kissed her and caressed her hair.
"Are you ready for our date?"
"Of course, but... Why are you so hurt?"
"The supreme God."
Nirfa sighed and caressed Crisfa's cheek.
"I figured. You should give up on him. If you keep bothering him, he'll eliminate you... And the other Gods think you're an idiot..."
Nirfa lowered her gaze.
"It hurts me to see them make fun of you."
Crisfa smiled and caressed Nirfa's cheek.
"The supreme God is always busy. His life is boring. He's the most powerful God, but all that power is useless if his life is boring. He deserves to have some fun in his life... It hurts me to see someone sad or bored. I'll do everything I can to be his friend. And I don't care what other Gods say to me. Words don't affect me. Honey, I'm sorry for worrying you... Don't worry, he won't eliminate me. The supreme God may seem mean, but he's a good person. The Gods are just afraid of him because he's the most powerful God. He's just like us. The supreme God, like everyone else, deserves some fun in his life, but he lives alone because he's feared by others. That's why I'll do everything I can to make him laugh or at least smile! And I won't give up until I achieve it. On a different note, we should go!"
Crisfa carried Nirfa in his arms.
"Let's have some fun!"
Nirfa blushed completely at those words, as she completely misunderstood what Crisfa said.
"What?! Darling, don't say it so loudly!"
Crisfa blushed a little and laughed, seeing her nervous and covering her face in embarrassment.
"By 'fun,' I mean having fun at an amusement park. Did you think of something else, honey? Hehe. Perverted."
Nirfa looked away.
"Idiot."
"But hey, I'm your idiot, until death do us part. That word reminded me of when we first met. I invited you to have fun together, and you slapped me in the face. You shouted, 'You perverted idiot!' and your sister beat me up. What a lovely memory."
"You should think better about the words you use, darling."
"I admit that sounded perverted. Let's not waste any more time. Let's go!"
Crisfa and Nirfa, a lovely couple, whose ending was quite tragic.

(Pov- Kei.)
W-walking while Seiya hugs my arm is uncomfortable. Sh-she's an adorable girl, but I can't get out of my mind that she's a man! I know I should treat her like a woman, but... Wait...
...
...
...
Kei...
Yes, Kei?
Don't you remember the hero's death?
Oh, yes, that's right... A hero died!!! Sepgrar died!
Ahhhhhhh!! Because I was worried about Seiya and what we'll do in Turger, I didn't give importance to something so important!"
One less hero in this world means that the demons have a better chance of winning, reducing our chances of achieving an alliance between humans and demons!
Me lleva la verga! (Oh, fuck!) Ahhhhhhh!! How did they manage to kill a hero?!! I'm screwed!
D-dammit...
No... Kei, it's not the time to lose hope. Ah... Take a deep breath... Good... Kei, yes, Sepgrar died, but don't worry, there are still chances of achieving an alliance. Don't lose faith and keep moving forward.
Furthermore, if you lose hope, so will the girls. They trust you a lot, and you can't and shouldn't disappoint them.
There's always a way to move forward, we just have to try hard and find that way.
Come on, Kei, smile and think positive.
Ah... My head hurts.
Sepgrar's death will have serious consequences in the world.
The hope people feel in heroes will diminish, crimes will increase because people will think they will die soon and do terrible things before dying. The thought of "I'll die anyway, so I'll do whatever I want" will flood people's minds.
And considering that Terkiana found out about Sepgrar's death, the spy network must have spread the same information to many more people, and slowly that information will spread, and everyone will know.
"And then, I fell and...!"
While Seiya talks, I continue to think about Sepgrar's death.
Seriously, without exaggeration, this is the most important news I've received since I was reincarnated. The death of one of the heroes is not to be taken lightly.
Damn it, if the demons killed Sepgrar, it's also possible that Nisei is dead.
If they captured her, they must have interrogated her and discovered that Kei Molfer was the one who sent her, that's why Nero knew my identity.
... I let my guard down. I underestimated the current power of the demons.
I'm... useless.
Useless... Damn it.
Ah... No, Kei, there's no time to feel sorry for yourself, you have to keep going.
Remember, Kei, hope is the last thing to die! Just be patient, everything will turn out fine in the end. Just have hope.

Kei and Seiya knocked on the door of a huge house, the size of a mansion, but not as elegant.
Kei continued to think about Sepgrar with his [Double Thought] ability, so he could socialize with Seiya while thinking about how to prevent Sepgrar's death from affecting them.
"It's very big. Is it an orphanage?"
"They expanded the place with my donations. It used to be smaller and dirtier. There are more than 200 orphans living here, that's why it's so big."
Kei made sure that the orphanages had enough food to feed everyone three times a day, as well as ensuring their clothing, water, medicine, and whatever they needed to survive day by day. He also paid the orphanage employees from his own money.
In short, this orphanage belongs to Kei Molfer, as it is his money that ensures that all the orphans live comfortably and without lacking anything, and that the employees have a decent salary to support their families.
Terkiana works in an orphanage, and discovering that Kei Molfer was the anonymous donor who donated a large amount of money to the orphanages in the country made her fall completely in love with Kei, mainly attracted by his kindness and kind-heartedness, although Kei had other reasons besides helping, but he didn't tell Terkiana to avoid problems.
The only orphanage that receives public donations from Kei Molfer is this one, mainly because it was the first one he encountered. He donates money anonymously because he prefers to avoid drawing attention to his good deeds, as it would make him appear less dangerous. As a Molfer, Kei prefers to inspire fear rather than tenderness, although sometimes his kind side emerges without permission and he ends up doing good things, like helping the poor and using his healing magic on the adventurers who have lost some of their limbs.
A man opened the door and welcomed Kei with a big smile.
"Welcome, Kei! You visited us a week ago. Is there something wrong?"
"Am I interrupting something?"
"Wait, what I said sounded rude... Sorry, it's just that you don't visit us so often. It seemed strange to me."
"My friend and I want to visit the orphans. I brought food and..."
But before he could finish speaking, an important message reached him.
A message he had been waiting for months.
[Kei, the next slave auction will be in 3 days. I heard rumors about 2 Dark Elves who will be sold. I also heard rumors about an Undead and a Fairy. They are powerful and rare girls, except for the Dark Elves, who are weaker and worthless to us. Will it be worth the wait?]
[Well, well. I see... I hope they have potential. All the slaves I've met at auctions are weak, old, and arrogant. None of them caught my attention. I hope we're lucky with this auction. The Dark Elves, although weak, are the ones that interest me the most. I assure you it will be worth the wait. Thank you for the information, Terkiana.]
"Kei? Kei, snap out of it!"
Seiya started shaking Kei. He was too distracted listening to Terkiana, and it worried Seiya, thinking that he had fainted on his feet.
"S-sorry, I was thinking about something... Yes, thinking."
Kei sighed and entered the orphanage.
"Sepgrar dies, and the Dark Elves that I have been waiting and longing for finally appear in an auction. This is definitely not a coincidence. I must buy them, no matter how weak they are," Kei thought.

Mei was sitting on the floor, hugging Mini Mei.
She was resting. She had trained for 5 hours straight in a dungeon, using more than 50 healing potions to keep fighting with her fists. She went overboard considering how expensive they are, but Mei was so full of jealousy, sadness, and anger that she simply lost control and didn't think clearly about her actions.
Her clothes were torn, and she was starving.
Her magical energy was depleted, and she was very sleepy... She had put in a lot of effort in her training, but even though she gave her maximum effort, she was still far from catching up to Kei.
"I reached floor 19... I-I must surpass my brother... Mini Mei, will I ever surpass my brother?"
"Of course, Nia."
"... Huh? Did you speak?!"
The Supreme God appeared in front of her.
"Sorry for scaring you. Let me introduce myself, I am a friend of Fravi's. I am also a God. Nice to meet you, Nia."
The Supreme God extended his hand and waited for a greeting.
Mei was motionless... She didn't move at all.
Was she too scared to shake his hand? Not exactly. The Supreme God used his power to immobilize her.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that you can't move. I don't have time to answer your questions, that's why you can't move, so you don't speak. I am a God. My advice is very valuable, so listen. When Kei turns 15, he will make a difficult decision. His decision will be very difficult and painful, so I hope you understand. His whole life will be ruined. His friends and family will hate him... Listen, when that happens, join Bandia's group. Goodbye, Nia."
The Supreme God disappeared, and Mei started vomiting.
Her breathing became agitated, and she was crying, feeling like she was dying from the pain, as if she was close to death.
"What was that?! A God?! Why did he call me Nia?! I don't understand anything...! Huh? What was I saying? Why did I vomit? What happened to me?"

In Godfer, the Supreme God was observing Mei, and as always, everything was going according to his plan.
"Very well, she will do as I told her. Although her memories were erased, the objective of the message is already imprinted in her mind. Step number 2, completed... How is Daniel doing? Did he accept? I'm curious, but I can't see the future yet. I must be patient. Ah, it's like that phrase you told me, Crisfa. 'Even though the development may seem boring, you must be patient. The ending of a video game is more enjoyable when you understand the story it tells. If you skip the cutscenes, the ending won't be satisfying. And if you get bored with the development and want to see the ending, it won't be worth watching. Enjoy every moment and don't skip anything.' A great phrase, said when I just wanted to skip a cutscene because I wanted to play already," he said, smiling, as he remembered his old friend.
(Author's note: What do you think of the protagonist and the characters? I need your opinions to improve them. :3)
