Chapter 36: And what is such a big shot like you doing stuck with me?
“Demonic energy?
Is that different from mana?” Alice asked.
*Yes, it’s completely different.* The voice answered.
*Don’t you feel it?
That ominous and disgusting energy you feel from it.* “That’s demonic energy?” She asked.
“But why did it seem familiar?
I’m sure I’ve never come across a demon before..” *…* “Ah, that’s right.
You promised to explain things to me once I defeated the boss.
Well, spill.” *First, make sure he’s really dead.* The voice said as if changing the topic.
*Mage-type demons can be really scheming and tricky.
It may have a spell that resurrects it after death or something like that.
So let’s prevent that from happening.* “Alright, and how do I prevent that?” She asked and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Ooh, we could…” *No, you are not eating a demon.* The voice said and Alice’s face dropped in disappointment.
*I swear, you’d eat just about anything.* “Hey, I can’t help it, okay?” Alice kicked the body lightly to check if it was coming to life any time soon but there was no reaction whatsoever.
*Well, he’s dead, permanently.* The voice said.
*I don’t think anyone would even want to be resurrected, only to get brutally beaten to death a second time.
You’re so evil.* Alice darted her eyes aside.
How was she supposed to know that she would kill him in such a way?
“Anyway, I defeated the boss so it’s time to check the rewards, right?” She asked, placing her hands on her waist.
“I don’t have a system, so how do I know the kind of rewards I get and what they do?” *I’ll help you with that.* “Hm, are you sure you aren’t my system?” Alice asked with suspicious eyes.
“Like an upgraded version.” *I am not a system.* The voice said.
*And know that I am far more superior to the system feature because I am…* It paused.
“No, no, don’t stop there.
You are what?
I already killed the boss, so don’t go hanging on me like that anymore.” She demanded, stomping her feet on the ground.
*I can’t tell you everything but I can tell you the basics.
I am the creator of the system.* It said.
*The one who gave humans a way and source of power to fight against monsters.* It explained and Alice blinked, surprised.

But she wasn’t surprised at the fact that it was the creator of the system, but rather…
“And what is such a big shot like you doing stuck with me?” She asked.
*Wait, that’s what you’re asking?
You aren’t asking how I am the creator or…* “What do I care?
You might be the freaking constellation that grants us these powers for all I care.
My concern is what you’re doing stuck with me.” She said, surprising the voice.
She actually nailed its true self in a passing remark but she didn’t care?
She didn’t care if it was a constellation?
Did she know what she was saying?
Ah, this girl was something else.
*Listen, Alice, I’m going to say only a few vital things.* It said.
*And I’m not going to go into too much detail.
Because if it’s too much for you to handle then…* “I might die, I get it.” She said and sat on the floor, folding her legs.
“So, fire away.” *Alice, you already died once.* It said but quickly rephrased it.
*No, you’ve died twice already.
Anyway, I’m not going to talk about the first time you died yet.
As for the second time, it’s due to too much information.* “So, you’re saying I died from hearing too much information from you.
What?
Did my head explode or something?” She asked in a rather sarcastic tone and laughed, but the voice went silent, and she paused.
“Fuck, you’re serious.” *Yes, I am.
And that is why I am being careful with the things I say to you.
Only when you’re powerful enough can you withstand the information of the future and things beyond.* “Okay, so I got the gist of it.” She said, nodding her head.
“But you still haven’t answered the most important question.
Why me?” *…* Alice blinked, waiting for it to respond but something strange happened.
She had experienced it before but she felt a presence sitting in front of her.
She could actually make out a human form.
Ah, what was it?
But the moment she blinked, it was gone.
It was as if it was nothing but her imagination.
*Alice, the reason you were chosen has to do with the reason you died the first time.
So I cannot disclose that to you.* It explained and she folded her arms.
That was the information she was most curious about.
“Okay, so you’re from the future.” She said.
“You know what’s going to happen in the future and it seems something big is coming, right?
And that was why you chose me, Alice, who has nothing to live for, to be the savior of the world.
Is that correct?” *Uh, I think so.* “Nah, I don’t want it.” She suddenly said, shocking him.
*What?* “I don’t want to be some freaky savior of the world.” She said.
“First off, the world’s never been kind to me so why should I save it?” *Alice, you’re not being serious right now, are you?
There are billions who will die if you don’t use the power I give you and rise to the task.* “And I fail to see how that is my problem.” She said and got up.
“I gain nothing from saving the world.
And also…
You seem rather desperate.
It’s almost like the world ended due to your mistake and you’re trying so hard to fix it.” *…* “So, is that it?” Alice asked, tilted her hips, and placed her hands on them.
“Give me a good reason why I should save the world.
If you can convince me, maybe I’ll do it.” *Food?* “Hey, don’t drag food into this.” She said.
“Even without you, I can get all I want to eat.” *No, no you didn’t get all you wanted to eat.* It said and her eyebrows furrowed.
What is it this time?
Did she starve or something?
*And besides, you were the one desperate to save the world in the end.
No, you weren’t trying to save the world, as there was nothing left to save but…
You hated the monsters and demons so much that you risked your own life killing them off.
It was just you left but you didn’t stop, and that dedication and strong will was why you were chosen to carry the world in your arms.* Alice suddenly felt her head ringing.
“Ah!
Gah!” She covered her ears but the ringing persisted, becoming even more disturbing.
“Ahhh, make it stop!” She yelled.
