First Scenario

Rimuru felt a warm light enveloping his body like a protective barrier, he also noticed the sparks covering him from head to toe.

[ The <Star Stream> has detected your presence. ]

[ The <Star Stream> is wary of your sudden appearance. ]

[ The <Star Stream> concludes you as an anomaly. ]

Before another message could pop out, his golden eyes focused sharply at the galaxy-like scenery in front of him, scrutinizing each detail, each star that's sparkling at the night sky.

It would've been a beautiful scenery if there was no killing intent directed towards him. He released a bit of his aura, gauging how the opposite would react.

[ The <Star Stream> is resisting your domination. ]

A small smile escaped his lips followed by a light chuckle. Not too bad...

"Is this how you usually greet your guests?" The sparks of probability burned more intensely but Rimuru remained unharmed.

「W ho ar e y ou?」

There "it" appeared, a subway train of some sort, and inside was a slumbering child. Before Rimuru could open his mouth and respond, it talked again.

「N o, it do es n t ma t ter. C an I as k yo u a fa v or?」

"Hmmm, I don't think we're close enough to be asking for favors yet though? But, since I rudely barged in without saying hi... I'll hear you out." Rimuru showed interest into this being, somehow it reminded him of his partner.

「Es tee m ed  o ne, ple a s e sa ve h im. Cha n g e  h is ■■.」

Rimuru was taken aback by the sudden show of courtesy, but he thought lightly of it. After all, it must have sensed it too, the insurmountable difference of power between them.

"Is he your creator?" He asked curiously.

「He i s m y Go d.」

There was a hint of pride and determination in its tone as it uttered those words, and most of all, a strong will to protect someone. Inspired by those emotions, Rimuru made his decision.

"I got it. I hope this favor gets repayed somewhere near the future."

「I wish you all luck to your journey.」

I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was my reflection being reflected at a subway window. 'Isn't this my original appearance back in Japan?'

I was wearing an office attire with a briefcase on my hand, and I looked like someone in my middle 20s. 'Feels like I've traveled back on Earth, this is a bit nostalgic.'

'Ciel, you there?'

«Yes. We've arrived at the current setting of the novel. This is the starting point of the protagonist's 3rd turn.»

'Got it. When do you think it will start?' As I asked this on my mind, my eyes wandered around. Nothing looks off but somehow it feels eerie. Then I happen to glance upon it, the carriage number.

3707

'Wait, is that...'

There was a giant man holding what seems to be a homemade explosive device, and the timer ticked loudly inside. As he revealed it, people screamed while some paled at the sight.

There was nothing but terror on their faces.

Just as I looked away, the subway lights flickered then it became dark. It shook loudly and let out a metallic screeching sound. There was panic in everyone's voice. After a few moments, it was followed by the train announcement.

(Telling all the passengers on the train--- Telling all the passengers on the train--- "E-everyone, run away... RUN!! ---beep---beep---")

No more than a minute, it became chaos everywhere.

*pop* A sound was heard followed by a new announcement.

[The free service of planetary system 8612 has been terminated.]

[The main scenario has started.]

'Well, uhm, nevermind I asked.'
