The Failed God's Creation (Part 1)
Previous chapter:
Directly from his palm, a massive beam emerged. Leroy became blinded by it because it became so bright.
*Ka-Boom!*
'I can't even breathe properly…'
He started to lose consciousness, 'No, I can't faint here!'
Finally, he lost consciousness.
________
*HmmmMnnn*
A faint voice could be heard, "---, Wake –-!"
Leroy slowly opens his eyes.
"Agh! Wake up would you!!?"
"Will you shut up? It hurts to hear."
"Oh! You woke up. "
Leroy starts to look around slowly, then he tries to sit up.
"It still hurts..."
He saw the place was in a miserable state and the demon was nowhere in sight either.
"So we defeated the demon huh…"
"Nah, we didn't...
"Wait, what do you mea-"
"We didn't gain any experience nor an announcement of being able to defeat it."
Leroy felt totally defeated, mentally.
"After all this, the demon was still not defeated!?"
"I think it just ran away as it was heavily injured maybe?"
"..."
After hearing it, Leroy just gives a huge sigh and tries to stand up.
"Hmm?"
He wasn't able to stand up.
"Why can't I stand up?"
"What do you mean, you can't stand up?"

"What?! "Are you kidding me?"
"Now what?"
Leroy shows the system panel to Horace.
Horace didn't know how to respond to it.
After a moment of silence…
"Umm, let me help you walk then, I guess?"
"I've got no options."
"Ah yeah, that's true."
While walking along the river, Horace asks, "How did you figure out the way to bypass that barrier of that demon?"
"My skill helped me to figure it out."
"Your skill?"
"Yeah"
"Shouldn't that mean your skill is overpowered?"
"Well, I don't know if it is overpowered or not but it was my skill that helped me"
"Fine, leave it. You know you can clear floors here also?"
"Floors of any difficulty or only the difficulty we have chosen?"
"Well, that I don't know, all I know is that you can enter special dungeons which let you play the floor you are currently in"
"I see."
"Okay, you sit over that bug stone while I search this area."
"Yeah."
Horace goes to check the area they are in. Leroy takes this opportunity to go through what has happened till now.
"I guess a lot has happened so far."
Leroy thinks that it is better like this.
"Well, it's not like I have anything on earth... It is better to be here.
He noticed an unexpected sight: a constellation was attempting to communicate with him.
<
"What… a constellation?"
<
"A job?"
<
"Kill a user? Name?"
<
"Wait, what? Time Control… That's a fricking cheat class?!"
<
"But why me? I mean I am supposed to be hated by every single constellation"
<
"Really? What will be the reward for it?"
The constellation was not responding.
"Are you kidding me?"
<
Leroy was tempted when he heard "exclusive class", but he was still feeling doubtful about this.
"There are many people who might be more powerful than me"
<
"You seem confident about it"
<
"Sorry, I am not going to take your offer"
<
"It is just that I don't trust your words"
<
"You guys can form contracts?"

"That's quite the one… Can I give you my answer tomorrow?"

*Sigh*
Horace comes back after searching the area.
"Hey man, look!"
"Hmm?"
"I found so many fruits, I think, this much should be enough to pass the night."
"That's nice, but are you sure those are edible?"
"Yep, I bet these are edible and I didn't even realize that it is about to get dark… Let me get the stuff for camp"
"Yeah"
*Hah*

Suddenly, a headache happens... It was increasing by every second.
"AHH WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN-"
It suddenly increases by so much that Leroy loses consciousness and falls to the ground.
He was feeling cold, 'Why am I feeling so cold?'
He saw snow falling and a chilling breeze as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Snow?"
He was on a snow-covered downhill with spruce trees scattered throughout the landscape and found himself leaning against one of the trees.
"It seems like this body is trying to hide from something"
The body was extremely exhausted and bleeding. As he checked the body, he noticed it had a mechanical left arm.
"Did this guy lose his arm to a monster?"
He was feeling extremely cold, "Why was this guy wearing such thin clothes in such a cold place?"
