First of all, why am I even reincarnated in this world?
"Ah. Let me explain everything from the beginning. First, you died in Japan on Earth. Is that clear so far?"
Yeah.
So I really did die, huh.
I figured as much.
"As for the cause of death, the previous Hero and Demon King were involved."
Huh?
How could the Hero and Demon King from this world have any influence on Earth?
"The previous Hero and Demon King were both masters of Dimension Magic and tremendous geniuses. They modified Dimension Magic and invented a spell that could breach the walls between worlds."
That's even possible?
"Of course it is. There's no reason it wouldn't be. However, the System doesn't provide any support for techniques outside of it. The inhabitants of this world, who had grown accustomed to the System's assistance, couldn't control such an advanced formula. As a result, the formula went haywire. During the dimensional crossing, it partially destroyed the MA Field, and after breaking through the walls between worlds, it detonated in a high school classroom in Japan on Earth."
Ugh.
What a massive pain in the ass.
Destroying the MA Field? Are they idiots?
And I just happened to get caught up in that and die. What am I, chopped liver?
"Exactly. Thanks to that, I had to go back and reinspect the System I'd built for that world and then basically abandoned."
You just abandoned it?
"Didn't I tell you? I'm an outsider when it comes to that world. The one managing that world is its own Administrator. I provided the System, but I did nothing beyond that."
That's rich, considering you've been interfering quite a bit lately.
"I can't be helped. The Hero and Demon King from that world went berserk, and as a result, innocent high school students died and got caught up in the System. I'm partially responsible for that, and as the System's architect, I felt I should at least provide some minimum level of support."
Hm?
Partially responsible?
High school students?
"Right now, there are 25 former Earthlings reincarnated in that world. The classroom was utterly destroyed during the lesson, and there were no survivors. And from the shock of that moment, the souls of those who died at that time were pulled back into that world's System, resulting in their reincarnation there. I protected the souls that would have otherwise disintegrated, and granted them the n%I=W Skill so they could live in that world with their memories and original soul power intact. After that, I assessed their compatibility and gifted each of them a suitable Skill, and arranged for them to be reincarnated into races whose soul wavelengths were as close as possible. That, I believe, constitutes the minimum support I could offer."
Wait, seriously?
There were others besides me?
Hm?
How many people were in my class again?
I think it was 25, right?
And with the teacher, that'd be 26, wouldn't it?
That's one short?
"Ah. That would be me."
It was you!?
Huh?
You were in that classroom?
"Yes. That's why the Hero and Demon King's magic ended up opening a passage into that classroom."
You're kidding.
So what's your name, by the way?
"That's a secret."
Aw, come on!
Who are you?
Was there really someone like that?
"Well, set my story aside. The fact that I—the System's supreme Administrator—was in that classroom is what caused that accident. So a portion of the responsibility lies with me. That's why I'm interfering in that world like this."
Huh.
So that's why I was born with Idaten right from the start.
But what about Omniscience?
From what you're saying, it sounded like once you were born again, you'd already fulfilled your responsibility?
"As I told you before, that's a reward for your hard work."
Ah, right.
I should say thanks, I guess.
Thank you.
"You're welcome."
So you grant me Omniscience, max out my Taboo, and then tell me to go save this world?
"I'm not saying anything of the sort. You're free to do whatever you want in that world. I won't stop you, and I won't give you any orders. I'm just an observer."
I'd like to believe that, but...
"You don't trust me."
Well, you're a god of evil.
"That's fair."
Oh, right.
What were the Hero and Demon King even trying to accomplish by doing something so stupid?
"I believe they were trying to defeat me, or something along those lines."
Why?
"There seem to be factions out there who view the Administrator as their enemy. The previous Hero and Demon King may have been incited by them."
So they were beyond-help levels of stupid, then.
Ugh.
And I had to get killed by some traffic-accident-level misfortune because of those idiots.
The worst.
"Well, I did provide support, so what you do after reincarnating in another world is up to you."
Ah, yeah.
That's fair.
Evil god or not, thanks for being so diligent about your work.
Seriously, you've been a big help.
"You're welcome."
So, about those people who incited the Hero and Demon King?
"If I told you that, it wouldn't be nearly as interesting. Why don't you see for yourself?"
Ugh.
You're going to leave me hanging like that?
"It'd be more fun that way."
What a pain.
Oh, by the way—you mentioned earlier that I reincarnated into a race whose soul wavelength was close to mine, but I'm a spider, right?
"You are a spider."
So my soul was close to a spider's?
"The wavelength must have been remarkably close. Most of the others reincarnated into the Human race."
No!?
Why!?!
Why a spider of all things!
If I could've chosen, I would've wanted to be born as a human!
It's been a death survival game from the very moment I was born—way too turbulent!
"But if you hadn't been born as a spider, you wouldn't have been able to operate ahead of the schedule like you have. So I wouldn't call it a bad deal."
Ahead of schedule?
"Yes. The others are still babies."
Oh. Right.
So not that much time has passed since I was born, huh.
"That's part of it, but you were also born earlier than most. By Earth's calendar, you were born roughly six months ahead of the others."
Huh.
So I've been operating six months ahead of schedule, and while those babies are busy goo-goo-ga-ga-ing, I'm out here leveling up like crazy?
"That sums it up. Do you have any other questions?"
So why did you bother building something as annoying as a System?
Couldn't you have just handled things yourself without it?
"There'd be no point in me handling it. I am an evil god, after all."
Fair enough.
"I'll be watching your actions with great interest from here on out."
Nope, not happening.
"Oh, I'll be watching. I'll be lounging around with a bag of chips, maybe playing a game or two while I watch."
What kind of luxurious lifestyle is that?
Are you still in Japan?
"Yes."
I'm so jealous!
"Chips are delicious. Oh, they've got a new ice cream out too. I think I'll have some later."
Just die already!
Ice cream!
"Well then, see you."
The smartphone vanishes with a soft poof.
She showed up just to chat and then disappeared.
