Book 11: Chapter 2: Halt’s Resolve
The time has come.
I didn’t even think the chance would fall into my lap like this, and from that side, no less.
I got a way thanks to this.
But first, I had to make sure I wouldn’t have any regrets just in case something went wrong.
My dream to become peerless in this world…had been granted, I guess.
I could defeat any kind of monster with just a single punch, and dealing with majin and demons wasn’t even a big deal to me.
I was already powerful enough to easily block the attacks of the Demon King and the Hero.
That wasn’t all.
I could even use [Resurrection], the revival magic that was supposed to be exclusively granted to the Dragon’s Shrine Maiden, and I could even [Teleport], a skill that was originally exclusive to heroes.
Heroes apparently couldn’t teleport to the world of the Divine Realm — world of the deities — but I could do that.
My family was also huge.
First of them was the Half-Elf Tina.
She was formerly my exclusive maid.
We also defeated the Demon King a hundred years ago.
She was the most important person to me.
Next was the High-Elf Leaffa.
She was the second princess of Alheim, kingdom of the elves.
Her father, the Elf King, bestowed Hakoku to me.
Speaking of princesses, I also had Merdie.
She was the princess of Vestier, kingdom of the beastkin.
She’s a cat-type beastkin, and her paw pads felt heavenly.
Luna was besties with Merdie, and she’s also a transmigrator.
She came from the same world as Akari and I.
Her skill allowed her to read any kind of script, letter or character.
Akari was my FORMER sister.
We both transmigrated, so we’re no longer related by blood.
Plus, she’s adorable. As in super duper cute!
That’s why, er… well, it’s like that.
Youko was a Nine-Tailed Fox, a girl from the demon race.
Her tails are super fluffy, and they feel extremely nice.
Kikyou and Youko’s Double Fluff Combo felt so good it should be illegal.
Kikyou was Youko’s mom.
She was also the foster mom who raised Dragon God-sama.
Her mature aura was somewhat amazing.
Sitri also had that matured air.
She was the Demon King.
I unwittingly Tamed her.
And now, she is also one of the precious members of my family.
Elmia’s appearance was that of an adult, but —
I couldn’t help but tease her.
She was totally adorable when she furiously blushed like a tomato.
Seira and Elmia are the inseparable duo.
Seira was the Saintess of the Holy City of Sanctum.
She resigned from that position and is now staying in my mansion.
Ryuka could use revival magic that was leagues above that of the Saintess.
She was the Dragon’s Shrine Maiden granted with the protection of Dragon God-sama.
She was a dragonoid.
Speaking of dragons, there’s also Hakua.
She was a colored dragon, the strongest race of all.
We met at the Dungeon Ruins in Vestier.
Mai and Mei were Spirit girls.
Mai was a fire spirit, while Mei was a water spirit.
Both of them were daughters of the Celestial Spirit King.
And speaking of spirits, Sylph had also become part of my family.
She was the Wind Spirit King and the personification of Yggdrasil.
Sylph grew Yggdrasil in my mansion.
All of these women were my wives.
Yup. Even I found it hard to believe at times.
Well, it’s fine…right?
We’re in Isekai, after all.
Alright, next.
The one who always hogged the best sofa in the entire mansion was no other than the Divine Beast Fenrir, who we affectionately called Shiro. He stayed with us ever since I accidentally woke him up.
Tet, the kitten that Akari brought with her, recently started to sleep with Shiro. Tet was a deity of the Isekai — in other words, she was a Kami-sama from the world Akari and I came from.
My best friend Luke and his wife Lielle also stayed in our mansion. Lielle was Leaffa’s younger sister, so Luke was also my younger brother-in-law. By the way, he was also the grandson of the headmaster of Ifrus Academy of Magic.
Ryuka’s younger brother Ryuushin and his wife Hinata also lived with us in my mansion. They started dating after Ryuushin saved Hinata, the living sacrifice for the Evil Dragon. They tied the knot last year.
And last but not the least, let me introduce the stars of our family — the Slime Girls! They turned out to be way stronger than my Bunshins after I tamed them and gave them power.
They normally roam around the mansion in their human appearances. My wives loved to turn them into dress-up dolls, though…
Anyway, they were cute.
We were soothed just by watching them.
They would call me Papa, and my wives as Mama.
I have 15 wives.
5 daughters.
Two more families —total of four people— resided in my mansion.
2 pets.
So, there were a total of 25 people including me and 2 pets in our huge family.
It’s such an enormous group, so it was only natural that we also had our share of problems, but even so, everyday was so much fun.
Complaints… I don’t have any.
I was very satisfied with my life in this world.
I would love for things to stay this way forever.
When I transmigrated, I was worried about how things would turn out at first.
That’s because even though I was a transmigrator, nevermind a cheat skill, I had been cursed right off the bat.
The Evil God that cursed me did that so that I wouldn’t be able to flourish in this world.
It’s just that I was transmigrated as the son of nobility.
If he really didn’t want me to prosper then he could’ve just made me a slave.
I couldn’t understand that guy.
Even the occupation was set as [Sage] for some reason.
It was thanks to him that I became the Level 1 Sage.
The curse casted on me was [Static Status Curse]. Instead of fixing the maximum status I could get, the status itself had been frozen.
No matter how much mana I used, it wouldn’t decrease at all, and I wouldn’t get any damage no matter what kind of attack I received. That’s because both mana and physical strength had been [Fixed].
Because my status was frozen, my constitution wouldn’t be affected at all by poison, paralysis, induced hypnosis and forced sleep.
It was thanks to this that I became the Level 1 Strongest Sage.
I could even say I enjoyed my Isekai life to the fullest because I became the strongest sage.
In short, with regards to the Evil God, I —
Nah, scrap that. I absolutely didn’t hold any grudges against Evil God-sama.
On the contrary. I was grateful, even.
But —
Despite that, I —
I still had something to do.
I had to —
Punch. Evil. God. Sama. No. Matter. What.
I didn’t resent the guy.
But, Evil God-sama did kill me.
Death had been terrifying.
That’s why I wanted to get back at him, even for a little bit.
It’d be fine. My opponent would be a deity, after all.
Moreover, he’s one of the strongest Kami-sama of this world, just like the Sea God.
He should still be fine even if I punched him with all I got.
I already got permission from Sitri, his former subordinate (?), and I also informed Creator God-sama.
Creator God-sama told me to go easy on him, so I told him that it’s just one punch. He replied, ‘then I guess… that’s fine.’.
So it would be okay.
I made up my mind to beat Evil God-sama.
Actually, the problem was that he was a deity.
I didn’t know what kind of backlash I would get.
I might even be obliterated…
The reason I became the strongest person in this world was all thanks to Evil God-sama in the first place, after all.
My [Intuition] said everything would be ‘fine’, but —
Even so, I should be prepared.
I should do whatever I can in this world.
I had been putting it off for some reason, but…
It’s about time, right?
I got ready for tonight’s bedtime.
