My second go at life // Orsted x oc (Mushoku Tensei)

Chapter 27

That night, we slept in a cheap stable and used some cloth as a blanket then slept on top of hay while Ruijerd was happy to sleep against cold walls still.

My cloak was perfect since it was all fur inside so it kept me warm.

'How am I going to get us out of this one?' I heard Rudeus think from behind me.

'Me to!' I turned over to him, and he freaked out a little. 'I will help as well.'

'Sorry, I won't forget you are here to help.' He nodded and I grinned.

We both fell asleep, and I woke up soon after, but not in the real world. "Ugh." I let out.

"Still don't like me?" Man God asked me.

"You appear when we are down on our luck," I explained shocking him a little. I know people with power, who are naked and have an annoying voice and are called gods are super annoying! Most of the games I played taught me that.

"It's been a year..." He spoke up.

"To soon." I hummed.

"My advice got you two into real hot water last time." Man God laughed annoying me.

"You killed people!" I yelled.

"Me? That was the Superdia and you let many others die." He retorted.

"But you know the future." I reminded him and he was just quiet.

"Look if your brother and you just turned those crooks into the guards, you could have bonded with Ruijerd over it. But your brother decided to recruit them." Man God smirked. "I never saw that coming! I had so much fun watching it play out!"

"You enjoy suffering?" I asked, and he froze from my look. "I wanna leave!"

"You can't." He informed me. "Thanks to me you all made it-"

"I WANNA LEAVE!" I yelled again desperately wanting to be away from this disgusting thing.

I felt everything distort and then something on my wrist. I focused on it, and it helped me feel my real wrist along with my mana.

"Come on, don't be so upset." Man God whined as he fell over onto his back and it started to distort even more making him get serious. "Huh? What did-" I felt a serve burning at my wrist and I woke up.

I rolled over while holding my wrist, I had used fire magic to burn myself until I woke up. I really was desperate to get out of that dream. I hated being in that body, and Man God is scary, he has very obvious bad intentions.

I took my time to catch my breath then released wind magic and quietly spoke the words of the healing spell and the burn disappeared.

I was afraid to go back to sleep, but I didn't eventually. When I woke up, I sighed in relief that I didn't see that ugly thing again.

Rudeus sat up and we both looked at each other. "Ugh." We let out at the same time knowing we both saw that idiot.

We left Ruijerd and Eris to train while Rudeus explained to me that Man-God told us to buy food and walk through an alleyway.

'...and you are just gonna trust that?' I asked him in my mind as I was eating some of the food.

'Didn't he tell you all this?' Rudeus looked at me.

'No, I left.' I explained.

'Teach me!' He looked very impressed.

I held out my hand confusing him then I used fire magic and motioned it at myself and he seemed to have screamed. 'DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!' Rudeus had dropped his food and was checking me all over.
