Chapter 1: Prologue

In the Heavenly Realm, where the Gods of a particular world dwell…

In the farthest corner of the temple, the Evil God clutched his head in frustration.

“For the Creator God to bring a person from a different dimension and turn him into a hero to defeat the Demon King I raised, this is truly infuriating!”

An oppressive aura emanated from the murmuring Evil God.

Beside him, a girl, one of the shikigami serving the Gods, tried to calm the situation. “It’s because all the people coming here from different worlds through summoning and reincarnation—such as Heroes, Sages, and Holy Knights—possess special abilities. Thus, they can easily defeat both the Demons and Demon Kings that Evil God-sama personally prepared.”

The Evil God, who collected negative energy like fear and despair for his own consumption in the world governed by the Creator God, frowned deeply.

“How many times have I considered killing those heroes already?” he growled.

“The Creator God strictly forbids the gods from interfering with humans. It would definitely be bad for Evil God-sama if you were to do that,” she cautioned.

“Well, that’s true,” the Evil God conceded, though his irritation was palpable.

“What if Evil God-sama were to reincarnate a Hero before the Creator God does?” she suggested.

“Is that even possible?” the Evil God asked, intrigued.

“The only being able to unconditionally reincarnate or transfer a Hero is the Creator God. However, if it’s only a matter of summoning, it should be possible to bring a Hero from a different world,” she explained.

“Hmm… but what would be the benefit of reincarnating a Hero?”

“The moment the Hero reincarnates into this world, it would be advantageous to cast a curse on their soul—one that prevents them from fulfilling their Hero’s duties.”

“I see. So, I’d be deliberately creating an unusable Hero.”

“Yes, precisely. Summoning a Hero to this world consumes a significant amount of spiritual energy. If the reincarnation proves to be useless, it would waste that energy and create an obstruction for the Creator God.”

“That sounds perfect! Being constantly overshadowed by that old man—Creator God—makes me furious! Let’s proceed with this plan. Can you handle the preparations?”

“Understood,” she replied.

Following their discussion, the Evil God manipulated the fate of a youth, stripping him of his life and setting the stage for his reincarnation into the world.
