Why level up in isekai, when you can hack your way through

Chapter 2 - My name is... Kami-sama

[Falling Into the Endless Darkness]

Perhaps a dream, a vision, or a memory?

[Three years ago]

Two months after Kazuma's grandfather had passed

Laying down his head on the lap of a girl he deeply cared about

The girl asked, "Say Kazuma now that you're alone would you like to live with me?"

Kazuma reacted with a "huh!?"

"You know we've known each other since kindergarten right, my family already knows about you and even my dad thinks of you like his son. All you have to do is say yes, my family would love you."

Kazuma replied, "Sorry Mizune but I can't just live rent-free, it would be shameless and people would make wild assumptions about us."

To which Mizune responded, "You don't have to live rent-free, you also need a job right? Dad always needs a hand you can work with him at the shop, I don't care what assumptions anyone makes. I already know your feelings, you're just letting that inferior complexity of yours take over you."

"I want your answer and confession by Sunday"

After a brief pause, Kazuma answered saying "But Sunday is tomorrow..."

Mizune enthusiastically said, "Exactly!"

[Later the same night]

Bling... Bling...

Notification: You've Received a text from Mizune Ryuzaki.

Mizune: Don't forget what I said, it's going to be a date tomorrow! 3 PM same park!

Kazuma: sends a thumbs-up and a sweating face emote.

Meanwhile, Kazuma tried calling both of his parents to ask for their advice as this was his first big step towards his future. But as usual, there was no response, just like all the unseen mails he sent before.

"Why do I even bother calling them anymore."

"Let's just go back to grinding my rank."

And with that, the day was over.

[Next day]

And before Kazuma could say yes and perhaps even confess to the love of his life. A tragic incident occurred. An event that would change Kazuma's life forever.

Where is she? She told me to arrive at 03:00 PM, it's already been 03:23 PM now. Girls man... but it gave me some time to muster up my courage, so I think I'm ready to confess...

Five minutes later Mizune arrived

At the same time, some shouting was going on as people were gathering around in a circle.

A dispute between a guy and a couple.

Perhaps Mizune was already aware of this situation, as both Kazuma and Mizune got together, she said. "God, it's becoming a new habit for this girl now, she's changing boyfriends every week and bringing them to the same park, while these obsessive guys are stalking her all the time, going after her despite being used."

And in a blink of an eye, the obsessive guy lost it after being insulted by the girl as he pulled out an Uzi.

Thus in panic, people started to run away from the scene as he shot the girl and her boyfriend in a flash.

The man went on a killing spree as he aimed at every person he could find in his sight, and one of them was Kazuma but before the bullets could hit him, Mizune shoved Kazuma aside and she took the bullets which were meant for him.
