Beginning
The Goddess gazed at Haruto in utter shock. "You accepted. immediately?"
Haruto folded his arms. "Why didn't you tell me that before?"
The Goddess blinked. "You're correct, but. everyone else debates for so long before accepting, but—"
"I don't like to waste time," Haruto cut in. "Now, how do I select abilities and skills?"
The Goddess rolled her eyes in irritation. "Just press the button and pick! There are lots of skills and abilities to choose from."
Haruto grinned mischievously. "Can I come up with my own skills?"
"No! You'd be overpowered!" she snapped.
Haruto grumbled. "Huh? That's so whack."
"Shut up and personalize your character already!" she shouted, obviously running out of patience.
Haruto let out a deep sigh. "Geez, you're so loud."
Ignoring her muttering, he began going through the options. First, he chose his look—**black hair, golden eyes, and a well-conditioned, athletic physique.**
Then came the fun part—**ability choices.**
Haruto chose very carefully:
1. Soul manipulation
2. Mind manipulation
3. Instant Healing
4. Time manipulation
5. Dead Army Summon
6. Shadow Walk
7. Truth Seer
8. Personal Realm
9. Venomproof
10. Blood Manipulation
"Okay, let's add more!" Haruto smiled while attempting to select another ability.
[System: Limit exceeded. Cannot add more abilities.]
"Huh? Hey, Goddess, what's this 'limit reached' business?"
The Goddess, now lounging in mid-air while snacking on chips, yawned. "Ah, I forgot to say. There's a limit—you can only select 10 abilities and 20 skills.
Haruto's eye flickered. "WHAT?! That's cheating! You never said that!"
The Goddess smiled. "You never asked."
Haruto sighed. "Ugh, it's a waste of time to talk to you. Let me just trade some abilities for better ones—"
[System: Access denied. Abilities selected cannot be modified.]
The Goddess erupted into laughter. "Oh, my bad! I forgot to inform you about that too."
Haruto squeezed his fists together, taking slow breaths in an attempt to soothe himself. "Dear Goddess. is it the same for skills too?"
"Of course, you idiot."
"Shut up." Haruto rolled his eyes and started picking his 30 skills:
1. Sword God Technique
2. Elemental manipulation
3. Weapon Creation
4. Protection of Gods
5. Healing Touch
6. Teleportation
7. Illusion Crafting
8. Mind Reading
9. Weather Control
10. Disguise
11. Tracking
12. Leadership
13. Mana Creation
14. Copy
15. Luck Manipulation
16. Item Fusion
17. Food Creation
18. Invisible String
19. Size Shift
20. ???????
Haruto scowled. "Why is this last skill named ?????? Should I inquire with the Goddess? …No, she's likely hiding something. Let's see its requirements."
[Skill Unlock Conditions: Step 1 – Create your own Demon Empire and recruit 10 loyal commanders. Remaining steps???]
Haruto's eyes sparkled. "Sounds intriguing. I'll take it!"
[Skill Confirmed.]
Then, he picked his Familiar: Mochi
"Mochi? How adorable! I adore Mochi, so I'll stick with it," Haruto smiled.
[Familiar Confirmed.]
For his Weapon, he picked: Eclipsion
Haruto's enthusiasm increased. "A weapon that can slash and halt the passage of time in its Version 1? I can't wait to further upgrade it."
[Weapon Confirmed.]
His Mana Core selection was: Aetherion (the Infinite Core)
"Oh yeah! This is going to be crazy."
Lastly, it was time for his Title.
Haruto stroked his chin. "I took the role of Demon King just for fun, so… wait… that's perfect!"
He entered it in:
[Title: Demon King of FUN]
The system showed him his last character information:

The Goddess stretched. "Alright, are you ready?"
Haruto cracked his knuckles. "Hell yeah! Send me in."
"Okay, you'll be brought to a normal world initially. You'll need to build your own Demon Kingdom and Demon Realm from the ground up."
Haruto smiled. "Perfect. Hurry it up—I couldn't wait for this adventure!"
The Goddess also smiled. "Have a good journey."
Haruto was hit with a burst of light.
The moment he vanished, the Goddess reclined on her throne, gazing forward.
Unexpectedly, there was another light in front of her.
She massaged her temples, letting out a sigh. "Welcome, Hero…."
