CHAPTER 53 - Seeking the Perfect Gift.
(Pov - Frima.)
What I did, it's already done. I feel so bad that I can't stop crying and vomiting, but it was necessary to do it if I want to be with my family again.
This world took everything from me.
This world forced me to do unimaginable things.
It forced me to be a killer.
It forced me to witness horrible things.
It took away my life.
My family.
Everything that was important to me.
Why should I help a world that has only hurt me and ruined my life?
I will do whatever it takes to return to my world.
I will do whatever it takes to see my daughters again. My husband.
To have my life back.
I already have one foot in hell, my sins will never be forgiven. All the people I killed, even if they were bad, were human beings. I had no right to take their lives, but I was forced to do it... And I became so accustomed to it that the Queen no longer needed to force me to kill.
I became a killer... This world completely corrupted me.
I am not worthy of being called a hero. Heroes don't kill, they give hope to people and motivate them to change and become better.
This world is disgusting. Men and weak women are treated like trash just because they're not powerful. A world that only cares about power. A world where the most powerful believe they have the right to kill anyone. They believe they have the right to treat weaker people like garbage. A world where equality or fairness doesn't exist.
All the men who are treated like mere sex toys.
The poor children who... the children...
"Damn it."
Not even children are spared from the cruelty of this world.
A world where the weakest are mistreated and even killed just for being weak.
A world that doesn't see the weak as people.
A world that protects the most powerful and allows them to do whatever they want.
Why should I protect this world? It's not worth risking my life for people who don't deserve to be saved. If Fravi created this world this way, it's impossible for me to see her as someone I can respect.
This world is beyond salvation, and now that I have the opportunity to return to my original world, I will take it, even if it means betraying my friends... and even killing them.
All for the sake of seeing the most important people in my life again... My family.
A selfish and extremely cruel and evil decision on my part, but this world is beyond salvation, and I would rather see my family again and go to hell than try to save such a disgusting world and die in the process.

(Pov - Queen of Turger.)
Hehe. Well, well, well.
What a coincidence.
Kei's first day of school.
The second phase.
Sepgrar's death.
The manipulation of the Slime girl.
All on the same day.
"Yes, I think we should thoroughly investigate the world of clichés, Gabrielku. So many important events on the same day is definitely not a coincidence."
"Kei Molfer turned out to be more dangerous than we imagined. And if it turns out that his original world is the world designed by the Supreme God, that would make him more dangerous than any other hero, even more dangerous than Fravi herself, Your Majesty."
"I am aware of that, Gabrielku."
The world of clichés, a world where most people are like characters from manga, anime, or television series. A world where the most important ones, the protagonists, always win in the end.
If the hero Kei turns out to be from that world, and if it turns out that he really is a protagonist, that would put us in great danger. If his clichés save him, it won't matter if we manage to kill him, he will somehow find a way to return. If he really is from that world, we must think of other ways to kill him.
He defeated Nero when he was about to die, using a mysterious power that activated before he died.
He was saved from death at the last moment.
So cliché... And that worries me.
"I suppose we should conduct another test to confirm our suspicions."
And it will also help me assess the power of his companions.
Hero Kei is powerful on his own, but that cat girl and Drin could also be a pain in the ass. We must analyze the power they possess to know how to act in the future.
"Any ideas, Your Majesty?"
"I will think about it. Go home, I will call you when I come up with something."
"Then I shall take my leave."
Gabrielku left the dining room, and I poured myself more wine in my glass.
The world of clichés, the most abnormal world of all worlds. A world full of oddities.
Why would someone from that world be summoned to this world? It's highly unfair to the demons. Why would the Supreme God allow this?
"This makes no sense."
Hero Kei, if you really are from that world, why were you summoned?
Supreme God, why did you allow it? This is too much help for Fravi. It simply makes no sense.
Hero Kei, what are you hiding?

"Are you sure about this, Drin?"
"Don't be afraid."
Drin, in her adventurer form, and Terkiana were walking through a forest, searching for someone. A certain person whom Drin felt watching her, and she decided to deal with him without any further assistance.
"It's too dangerous. Shouldn't we ask Kei for help?"
"He's busy. The demon is weaker than me, I can sense it."
Drin stopped and smiled upon hearing the trees being knocked down by a certain creature.
"He's getting closer."
"Traitor!!"
A huge demon was approaching them, running as if it were a wild animal.
"Hello, Zeiko. It's been years since I last saw you."
"Drin!! You damn traitor!!"
Foam was coming out of his mouth. He looked quite savage and disgusting. His face had scars in the shape of lightning bolts, and he didn't have a right eye. He looked tough and cool, but also disgusting.
His appearance scared Terkiana a little, but seeing Drin with no fear on her face made all that fear disappear, and she calmed down. If Drin wasn't worried at all, it meant she knew what she was doing. Drin may be many things, but she's not an idiot. She's the smartest one in the group, followed by Kei.
Zeiko tried to strike Drin, but she stopped his fist with the palm of her hand. She had no trouble stopping him.
"You're still as weak as ever. Terkiana."
Terkiana jumped and kicked Zeiko in the throat, and before he was sent flying, Drin grabbed his arms so that he wouldn't go flying and so that Terkiana's kick would hurt him even more.
Seeing him choking, Drin smiled even more and clicked her tongue.
Drin jumped onto him and destroyed Zeiko's eyes using her hands.
A huge agonizing and muffled scream came out of Zeiko's mouth, and Terkiana grabbed his right arm.
She pulled him and kicked his legs.
Zeiko fell to the ground, and Drin stood on his body.
"That was disappointing. Terkiana, I'll give you the honor of delivering the final blow."
"Thanks. Force Magic!"
A black liquid surrounded Terkiana's left hand, and without any mercy, it pierced through Zeiko's back and destroyed his heart.
Zeiko died instantly.
A rather quick and somewhat disappointing victory, but there's a reason for it.
"Are all demons weak?"
"No. This time we got lucky. He was very weak. Desmolfer can't bring powerful demons out of hell. They're necessary for hell to exist. Without them, hell would disappear. She probably sent him just to update the information they have on us and know how powerful we are currently, to plan their future attacks."
"Well, well. I see."
"Desmolfer will release them in 4 years. In 4 years, she will have enough power to release them all."
"That's a short time. Do you think we can win?"
"I believe we can. Of course, we can! I believe in Kei. I know he can defeat Desmolfer."
"That's not our mission," said Kei, who was floating above them.
Kei landed in front of them.
"Darling! Were you watching us? Hehe. Pervert."
"Terkiana told me what you had planned. Drin, even if it's a weak demon, you shouldn't let your guard down. Lowering your guard and not taking our enemies seriously is a grave mistake. Maybe that demon had a bomb in his body or some secret weapon that would kill you instantly. Lowering your guard just because your enemy is weaker than you is a fatal mistake, don't forget that."
Drin lowered her head, feeling somewhat sad about Kei's supposed scolding, but Kei said it in a good way, to prevent Drin from making the same mistake, as it could cost her life in the future.
"I-I'm sorry, darling. It won't happen again."
Kei caressed her head and smiled at her to prevent her from feeling sad because the last thing Kei wants is to see someone so important to him feeling down.
"Don't apologize, I'm not scolding you, it's just advice. You won. Congratulations, Drin and Terkiana. Remember, our only objective is the useless Goddess. Desmolfer and the demons are also victims of her. If possible, we'll join forces. Understood?"
"Understood, darling!"
"I still find it difficult to imagine a world with demons and humans living together, but I like your optimism, Kei."
"It's possible, just have faith. Faith in the Supreme God, because he's the only God who can help us with that objective. And faith in ourselves, let's trust that we can achieve it. If we don't believe in ourselves, we'll feel like our efforts are in vain, and that will prevent us from giving our best."
Both nodded.
"Of course."
"I believe in myself, and even more in you, darling!"
"The person who deserves your trust the most, Drin, is yourself. Don't place your trust in anyone other than yourself because when that person fails you, the pain will be worse."
"You will never fail me, darling."
"I'm just a human, Drin, and I make mistakes. I'm not perfect, so don't trust me so much. Well, let's look at the demon."
Kei approached Zeiko's body and observed it.
"Well, well. You did well. He seemed powerful, but he wasn't much. Well, well. That shows that you shouldn't judge by appearances, huh? He looks cool with those scars. How would I look with scars and without an eye? Would I look cool?"
Drin immediately imagined it.
Kei with scars in the shape of lightning bolts and without a right eye.
He may have the appearance and personality of a good and pure boy, the complete opposite of burly men whose scent only exudes ruggedness and testosterone, but when Molfer blood activates in Kei, he becomes much rougher than any other cliché of a tough and burly man. He becomes someone whose presence is truly frightening. Someone capable of delivering the worst deaths to people who bother him.
Appearance doesn't define people, and Kei is living proof of that. A monster with the appearance of a cute child.
For Drin, Kei was already amazing enough to be considered the coolest being in the world, but imagining Kei with scars and without an eye excited her so much that her groin started to moisten, and her legs began to tremble.
"So cool!" she said, blushing and caressing her groin.
[Orgasm, Drin.]
[Orgasm, Terkiana.]
Even Terkiana was experiencing the same thing as Drin, but she disguised it perfectly and didn't seem to, but Kei receives notifications when his girlfriends have orgasms because of him, and upon receiving those notifications, Kei's shy side activates, and he blushes.
"T-This... W-Well, well. Esto es bastante incómodo. Por qué me cuesta tanto trabajo acostumbrarme a este tipo de situaciones? (This is quite uncomfortable. Why do I struggle so much to get used to these types of situations?)"- Kei said in Spanish, not to make the girls uncomfortable, as they don't know Spanish. Drin knows a little, but not enough to understand him if he speaks so quickly.
Seeing Kei uncomfortable, Terkiana realized what had happened and decided to change the topic of conversation to make him feel more at ease.
"And what happened with Seiya?" Terkiana asked.
"Who...? Oh mierda, shit, that's right! I'm sorry, I have to go. I told her I was going to the bathroom... Even though I never go to the bathroom. D-Damn, I'm an idiot. See you later!"
A pair of wings grew out of Kei, and he flew away.
Drin looked at her hands, and with an idea in mind, she clenched her fists and turned to Terkiana.
"Terkiana, will you help me find a gift?"
"A gift? Oh right, tomorrow is Eris's birthday. She'll be turning 28. I envy her youth. Probably Kei will give her a wooden figurine like the one he gave me for my birthday yesterday. I suggested that, so that gift is already taken care of. What could we give her? Clothes?"
Yesterday was Terkiana's birthday, and as a gift, Kei made a wooden figurine of her with his own hands, beautifully painted. It was like seeing a mini Terkiana. Gifts like clothes and makeup wouldn't last long for the girls, so Kei planned to give them much more meaningful and beautiful gifts. The reason? To keep the flame of love alive and prevent betrayals, and also because he loves them and wants to see them happy.
But Drin doesn't care at all about Eris's birthday. In fact, she didn't even know it was tomorrow.
"Who cares about that cat girl? I want to give something to Kei. Lately, he has been putting so much effort into training. He trains until he vomits all the blood from his body and turns pale. I want to give him something for his efforts."
"Ouch. Yeah, I know. Spending so many hours being used as a punching bag by monsters just to get used to the pain and make his body more resistant. The Molfers are truly scary... Well, I see. A gift for someone like Kei... What if you give him a drawing?"
"A drawing?"
"You draw very well, Drin. If you give him a drawing, he will be happy. Obviously, a drawing of his face, not an erotic one. Maybe a drawing of the two of you kissing or hugging. Such a drawing would make someone like Kei very happy."
"D-Do you think he'll like it?"
"Of course. I'm sure."
"All right, I'll do it! Thank you, Terkiana."
"Shit!" Kei shouted as he flew through the air with a fist marked on his face.
Kei landed heavily in front of them, startling them as they thought Kei was in danger.
And why did they think that? Because of Kei's physical state.
He was completely injured. His fingers, hands, and arms were completely broken, as if someone had mercilessly twisted them in the opposite direction. And not only that, he also had knives stuck all over his abdomen and legs, and on his chest, a heart had been marked with a knife.
"Ahhhhhhh!! Why is it always the same?!"
"Darling?! What happened?!"
"My grandmother went crazy again!"
"Kei! Why are you leaving a nice girl alone? That was rude of you! I didn't raise you to be a rude boy!" Kei's grandmother shouted.
"You didn't even raise me! I-I only took 5 minutes, you crazy woman! Sorry, girls, I have to sort out a family matter."
He ran away from them.
"I already apologized to her!"
Drin and Terkiana simply remained silent for a few seconds and looked at each other.
"The Molfer family is weird."
"Yes... Too much... Poor Kei."
