To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

To be honest, I don't think I'll be able to escape from a evil god's servant in the shape of Isaac. If I was lucky, I would be lucky to live for a second.

　With that in mind, I took the first step to escape. At full force, the acceleration that shattered my legs as I stepped forward pushed me far out into the distance...

'■■■■'!

　The jet-black knight, who had caught up with me without hesitation, swung down his long sword from the upper side . The speed, timing and my stance. I take all factors into account and realise that it is an unavoidable blow.

　The reason I am able to see this attack now is because I am in a prolonged physical experience of the time between death and life. The speed range is normally impossible to track with the eyes, so it's only natural that my body can't move.

　This is the best I can do even if I were to get serious right now. ......

　The fact that it was obvious when Flannel and Vasel were slain instantly, the slash with overwhelming killing intent, death is approaching...

　ーーーーーー

　I found myself in dark space . The emptiness stretches to the end of the horizon. And in front of me was a huge door and a tired-looking young man standing in front of it.

'Did you think I was dead?'

　The young man speaks to me. With that one statement, I understood that he was aware of my situation.

'I've been wondering about this for a little while now, but I don't know how to reach this place. I mean, it's you who's bringing me here, isn't it?'

'Well yes, I am. I mean, you're a qualified person, so I can summon you, but...'

'...... what do you want me to do?

'It's easy to have a conversation with smart people, isn't it? It saves a lot of unnecessary process and explanation. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to guess what I want from him with just a few questions and answers."

"..Answer me !"

'Well, well, take your time. This is a unique place. No matter how long you spend here, not a second passes on the other side."

　-It's a place that's so isolated from the rest of the world this guy likes to be there. or he is bound to this place?

'Well, having said that, I don't think you'll like the tangents, so let's get right down to business.

"'Down to business: ......'

Right. In short, I'm going to give you the power."

　The young man said this with a friendly smile on his face. But I don't think it's as goodwill as it looks. Because -.

'It's not power that comes for free, right? You call me in a situation where I have to put my trust in power, so is this something I would normally refuse?

'You're very cautious, aren't you? Yeah, that habit is very like Nicholas's.'

　Nicholas. As soon as he mentioned the name of the man that who is Norwin's father, the young man's face twisted into disgust.

　How much bitterness does it take to do that? Even in this world full of tragedy, I still sense a level of hatred I've never seen before.

　It's because of revenge ?　Is it to kill Norwin, who is related to Nicholas?　But it just seems like a long way round.

'I don't see how you can harm my father in any way, whatever you do to me. It's also vague as to whether there are any familial feelings.'

'Hahaha!　Don't lie to me. You're surrounded by people who think that you're special, right?　And you know it. Nicholas is up to something when it comes to you. And that something is huge. You are different."

"That's ......."

　That's true. Nicholas, and Arjano, although an enemy, wants this Norwin person to develop. The stage is being set for that.

　Maybe even the reincarnation is a set-up. The story is so heavily intervened in that even that supposition does not seem too far-fetched.

'So I'm trying to break his plans. That's the price you pay for power. So what do you do now? Do you leave here without receiving anything and get killed, or do you get to have nine lives?'

　Nine lives .......

　Hmm.

　Huh?

　Huh?

　The words, which I almost swallowed for a moment, came back to my mind as a fierce sense of discomfort.

You just said, " Proverb..."

'Oh, that. Yes, that's right. It's a proverb. It's from the Japanese, isn't it? I don't know much about it."

"How do you know about Japan?!"

"Oh, really? I don't know much about it. That's how it is. Nicholas, did you fill your vessel with the blood of the first generation?"

　First generation?　Vessel?　What is he talking about? I'm merely Japanese, and Norwin is...

　Norwin is something Nicholas prepared?

"What do you know about it?"

'I don't know. Well, I've lived long enough to know a lot. History passed on and history not passed on."

"You don't want to tell me?"

Well, yes. But if you have the power, you can get closer to the truth."

　To be honest, I want to know. But there is also the possibility that by gaining it, Crescencia will be put in danger.

　Which should I choose? Die now, or live in fear and uncertainty about the future?

　This guy, or rather these guys, including Nicholas and the others. These people are outside my knowledge of the game.

　Their influence is immeasurable. If I take the power lightly and Crescencia dies, that would be the end of the matter.

　If that were the case, it would be better for me to die on my own.

　But it is also a fact that if I die, Crescencia will have no allies. Death will surely await her afterwards.

　It's hell to retreat, it's hell to advance.

'You're troubled, aren't you? What are you going to do? I'll wait until you're ready."

"I..."

　I've made my choice.
