The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Three calamities Chapter 37: Three calamities Alice suddenly felt her head ringing.

“Ahhh!

Gah!” She covered her ears but the ringing persisted, becoming even more disturbing.

“Ahhh, make it stop!” She yelled.

*Oh no, I said too much.

That information was beyond your current level.* The voice panicked.

It just wanted to convince her somehow but it led to that.

It hoped it wouldn’t lead to dire consequences.

“I’m okay.” Alice said and then realized there was blood on her hands which came out of her ear.

There was also blood flowing from her nose.

It had been so bad that it felt like her brain was bleeding.

Her vision was also a bit funky.

It was spinning all around her and she just needed to rest on the wall for a moment.

*I shouldn’t have said so much.* The voice said, regrettably.

“I’m fine now.

Just a little bleeding.

No big deal.” She said, but she was still feeling it inside her head.

Now she understood how her head exploded.

Just this little information and her head was already banging like it would explode.

Just what did he tell her in the future that made her head explode?

It must’ve been something far greater than what he just told her.

*I thought you’d be strong enough by now to take in at least that much of what’s to come but it’s not enough.* It said.

*For now, I can only tell you that you are the one I chose and the one that will help this world survive the coming crisis.

Alice, please save the world.* Alice went silent.

Seriously, she didn’t care about the world.

She just wanted to enjoy life in a cozy house, eat all she wanted, and sleep all she wanted.

She didn’t want anyone to boss her around and tell her what to do.

Just how in the world was she, a 17-year-old teenager, supposed to handle having the fate of the world in her hands?

It was too much, wasn’t it?

She just wanted to relax, eat, and not care about anything.

At least it should’ve waited till she was a little bit older before coming into her life and giving her this incredibly tasking mission.

But something told her the voice in her head tried to connect with her when she was a little bit older, yet it didn’t work out, and she died of an exploded head.

Ugh, it was frustrating.

She gave it a lot of thought.

She didn’t even know who she was up against but she was certain it would be very dangerous, given she just faced the first part of the danger.

*Three calamities.* The voice said.

*You just have to pass through three calamities and this world may survive.* “May?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Wait, hold on.

Should you really be telling me that?” She asked.

“What if my head explodes?” *Don’t worry.

This information is not that big since you’re already aware of the calamity.* “Okay, I get it.” She said.

“So, I’ve passed through the first calamity.

Just two left and I’m free of this, right?

Then I can live however I want and eat till I drop dead, right?” *…* “Hey, don’t go silent on me.

You have to give me a definite answer.

I’ll be free, right?” *I am not certain.* The voice said.

*And I cannot disclose why I am not certain either so let’s leave it at that.

If you want more answers, all you need to do is get stronger.* Alice sighed.

She was fed up with half answers but it couldn’t be helped.

She would be the one dying if it told her any more than that.

“Then, can I at least have your name?” She asked.

It was the first time she was asking for its name.

All along, she just wanted to know what it was and where it came from, never asking for a name.

So now that she asked, the voice was taken aback.

*My…

Name?* “Yeah, your name.” She said.

“You said you’re not a system right?

So, I’m guessing you’ve got a gender and you have a name.

So, tell me.

What’s your name?” The voice went silent.

It was an entity that could be considered a god yet it was restricted and limited to this current state.

It was the creator of the system that granted powers to mere mortals that could be squashed like bugs.

It was…

A constellation.

The reason why a mighty entity such as a constellation would lower itself to get into a person’s head and give instructions like the lower existence it had created, the system, was because of a mistake it made, just as Alice had guessed.

A mistake it did not realize would ruin the very humans it sought to protect, along with its kind.

It thought it was giving them just enough power to protect themselves but…

Humans would always find themselves being swayed by at least one of the seven deadly sins.

Humans were humans.

But of course, it had a gender.

*I am male.* The voice said.

“Ah ha!

I knew you sounded like a man.” She snapped, feeling excited at her accuracy.

*And I believe you…

You can just call me Leo.* He added, not minding her outburst.

“Leo?

Is that your name?” She asked.

*No, not really.

You won’t be able to pronounce my name.

But this is a name I think you would be most comfortable with.* He explained.

Well, if that was the case then she didn’t mind.

“So, Leo, do you have a physical body?

Or rather, will you have a physical body or will you keep speaking in my head like this?” She asked as she picked up her axe, making her way to her reward room.

*Hm, that is for you to find out.* He left it as a mystery and she shook her head, feeling he was being stingy with information this time.

She walked across the huge hall and came across another door.

“So, do I get a system too?

Since you’re not a system and I’m basically an awakened?” She asked and to which it responded, *It’s not yet time* Well, whatever that means.

Alice opened the big door to find a hall equally as huge as the one she had walked across from and had been attacked by giant gladiator statues.

But this hall wasn’t empty.

Rather, the entire hall, the entire place was filled with nothing but rare and valuable treasures.

She glanced from left to right, her mouth opening wide in shock and excitement filling her face as her eyes sparkled at the sight.

There were so many treasures.

Artifacts, gold, mana stones, and even potions.

I’m rich!” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah There you have it.
