AN: I hope you enjoy! Also shorter chapter today but a full (and eventful) chapter will be out very soon. I mean it this time. (A.k.a I'll try but depression is hard man!)

Part 1:

I had an idea not too long ago. I know a lot of things from my world that don't exist here, and thanks to my knowledge of those things, I could have a major advantage in this world.

And I was going to use the hell out of that advantage.

So I got a blacksmith to make me a katana, and some armour to go with it!

...

...

So... I can't move. I'm in the armour now to test it, and the blacksmith stepped out. The armour is heavy as fuck and I'm stuck.

After waiting for about an hour, the blacksmith came back and looked extremely surprised to still see me there considering I paid in advance. Then... he realised the situation. He let out a massive laugh (at my expense might I add) but he got me out of the armour eventually.

"Maybe you should stick to the gear you're used to for now, and here's the sword by the way"

Back in my usual outfit, the situation made me forget that I had a katana on the way as well, finally, my idea was gonna pay off!

It's too fucking long.

Due to the complete shitshow, we made our way down to the bar so I could try and drink my sorrows away.

After giving up on my armour, and having my katana shortened into what was essentially a dagger. I only had one attempt to redeem the events. To give this sword a badass name!

"It's gonna be the sword that kills the devil king, it's gotta have a cool name-"

"Chunchunmaru."

Eh?

I noticed the burn on label the blacksmith had given to me being very much absent from my pocket, as well as my sword being missing from its sheath.

Looking behind me to the table where the others were sat, I noticed Megumin with my sword. I wondered where the label went before realising she had already named the damn sword! And wanna know the best part? She named it chunchunmaru. Fucking chunchunmaru.

Of course I took up the issue with her, but as usual she seemed to think she had done no wrong.

"What do you mean Kazuma, that's an awesome name!"

Great.

Just fucking great.

The legendary hero and his sword... chunchun fucking maru.

Part 2

I think it's fair to say that was a complete and utter fucking disaster. And my mood was worsened by a bunch of talk about the legendary swordsman who's been sieging a Demon King General's castle. He's been provoking the General by killing all the stationed guards, then fleeing before the main forces and General himself catch up. He's called Kyoya Mitsurugi, and he's a real dick.

Not to mention Megumin wont stop talking about him.

I can't even describe how low I feel. Like what the fuck, I finally get something to be proud of, and the little bitch-witch fucks it up! Even my house, she's filled with so much random crap she thinks is cool!

I eased back into my bath as I contemplated my next move.

Keep questing and nearly die again?

Go broke and go back to my job?

Just let myself go entirely?

That seemed the the best option, but what would the others think? No, they'd probably be happier without me, just like my family.

All the shit I went through came into my mind and wouldn't go. I curled myself up and began to cry.

W... W-Why is my life like this? Why is everything so damn pointless?!

As a teardrop splashed against the water of the bath, the scenery changed. I was in heaven again, but facing a different goddess this time (and yes, I was fully clothed somehow).

"My name... is Eris."

Part 3

I talked to that goddess for a while and unlike the unholy bitch I had come to have to look after, she was incredibly kind and comforted me.

But after a while of talking, she got a serious look on her face.

"I am sure you recall seeing a curses tab on your adventurers card, am I correct?"

"Y-Yes" I responded.

The atmosphere had gone and done a full one eighty, and the air was getting thick.

"And surely you know what a deity is?"

I nodded.

"The Demon Kings General you defeated recently was one of those beings, albeit a lesser one."

My jaw dropped. I had killed a lesser god?!

"The curses tab is an effect of that. Put simply, Vanir was the deity of madness, and he chose you to take the role after his defeat."

What. The. Fuck.

"T-T-There must be some k-kind of mistake there's no way I could be a d-deity..."

"There is no need to worry as of now, the curse hasn't taken hold yet, though the curses tab can only being seen by other beings while in heaven."

"How will I know if it does take hold?"

"Simple, despite Vanir's mask being his form as a devil, it will form on you whenever the curse is in effect, and while you'll lose control, you would get much, much stronger and there's and chance some of your skills would transform."

I couldn't speak, but wouldn't want to even if I could.

I was technically speaking, going to be a god.

"There is one issue though."

"Which is?"

"Typically if a reincarnate from Japan was to beat the Devil King we would just send them home, but that's not an option for you."

My heart dropped. Sure, I didn't wanna see my family but I missed the rest of my world more than I cared to admit.

I sighed.

"...Okay..."

I heard the sloshing of water again and a knock on the door.

"Kazuma? How long are you gonna take in there?"

It was Megumin coming to complain. And yet I couldn't bring myself to be mad at her.

"Not long! Just finishing up!" I shouted back.

"Okay, just don't take too long!"

And with that I was back. But what I had seen... was real. What I had heard... was real. And yet it couldn't be because it was so far fetched and yet, now, I had to live with it. My room spun but I calmed my self down and got out of the bath.

Part 4

The whole party spent a while in anticipation. We didn't even have any reason for it, but we knew something was coming. And then it happened.

"Emergency Quest! All able adventurers make you way to the gate!"

Oh shit.

AN: Next chapter is the Beldia fight and trust me, shits gonna be wild. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and see you guys soon! :D
