When I woke up, I felt a pleasant sensation in my mouth.

It was warm.

As if a soft dampness came over me.

I opened my eyes and was in for a surprise.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Mary was on top of me and kissing me passionately.

I greeted her and she greeted me back.

Our tongues withdrew.

"What was that for?"

"You said yesterday you wanted to wake up in a nice way, didn't you?"

"I came up with this. Do you like it?"

It's been a week since Mary and I have been dating, we're well into November, the year is almost over.

She got up, but not before putting her big ass on my crotch.

"This part woke up too, should I take care of him?"

"Never a bad one too early."

Just as I expected, the feel of the female body is the best.

I could have sex with Mary whenever we wanted.

But because of how good it feels it makes me forget my mission sometimes.

I have to stop thinking with my bottom and focus on my goal.

I will stop dropping my pants every day, starting from tomorrow... even though I said that yesterday.

"Ahhh! It feels so good!"

◇

After finishing, Mary went to wash herself to remove what I left inside her.

When we went down to the dining room, there wasn't anyone there.

The regular customers are busy collecting materials for weapons as the metal rabbit mating season came.

I went to the kitchen and saw Shannon.

She was preparing bread.

I came up behind her and hugged her.

"Kyah."

"Good morning."

"Jeez, don't scare me like that."

She said after relaxing.

As she turned around, her face was flushed.

I told her I would tell Mary about her mother being my woman now too.

She said not to do it yet.

She wants to tell her daughter and is looking for a way to do it.

We kissed passionately.

First her daughter kissed me and now I taste her mother's lips while she takes a shower.

Isn't life beautiful?

We broke apart and she said.

"You are very noisy. I clearly heard you having fun."

"I'm preparing breakfast so hearing you having fun is really breaking my concentration."

"I'm sorry. But Mary wanted to have fun."

"Regu-chan. Where are you?"

Mary was coming down the stairs.

Shannon let go of me and quickly went back to cooking.

I have no problem telling Mary that I love her mother too.

I told her it would make them both happy. I'm being serious.

I grabbed the dishes and went to the dining room.

"Here are the dishes."

"Where's Mom?"

"Cooking."

After a while, Shannon brought the food and we started breakfast.

◇

After breakfast I said goodbye to them and went to the guild.

I want to climb up the ranks quickly.

From D rank to C rank I want to climb already.

I entered the guild and Jessica greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning, heroic adventurer."

Now she calls me heroic adventurer.

It's better than the previous nicknames she gave me.

"I want to climb fast, give me a quest that will get me up the ranks please."

"Umm I can think of one, but it's cooperative."

"Perfect then."

A voice came from behind me.

It was Russell.

"Why haven't you been to the inn lately? Mary thinks you were murdered."

"I'm busy unlike you."

He showed me his ID.

"Now you're a rank higher than me! How did you do it?"

"Work without sleep. Now I can go anywhere I want since I'm a rank C adventurer."

"Unlike someone."

This old man was annoying me.

"Let's sit down and talk about this quest."

I listened to him since Jessica keeps nagging me about cooperative quests that need a party of adventurers.

◇

"What do you want to talk about?"

I asked him as I watched him take his mug of beer.

"It's delicious."

"Drinking alcohol in the morning is not healthy, I think."

"It doesn't matter if it is or not."

"Drinking a cold beer recharges your energy."

"I-is that so?"

It's true that this guy has been helpful to me in both advice and practice.

But what does he want to talk about?

After finishing his beer, he looked at me seriously.

"I'll say it straight out."

"Regulus. Let's form a party."

"Hah? A party? The two of us?"

I heard it's called a 'duo' when two adventurers work together.

"Why do you want us to work together? You're already free unfortunately for me."

"That's right!"

He exclaimed as he picked up a kibble and slowly bit into it.

"We've known each other for half a year now, for unexpected reasons."

"You could say I was lucky."

"If someone else had gone, or if you had gone now. Surely I would already..."

"I doubt it."

I replied after stealing a croquette from him.

"Seeing your footwork you would have escaped without delay."

"Besides, it's thanks to you that I was able to learn a few things. So I doubt I could have killed you nowadays. I just doubt it, I don't deny it either."

"Hahahaha, you'll always be an irritating brat."

For some reason, he was smiling despite the fact that I was criticizing him.

"My reason for forming a party is mostly for safety."

"We messed with the Black Rose remember. Currently our heads are possibly on the target list."

"Remember Viscount Heving?"

"Yes. I couldn't kick his ass."

"He committed suicide."

"...!"

"Or rather... someone made sure he made it look like he committed suicide. No matter how you look at it, dying for the honor of the Black Rose doesn't make sense."

"That's why I think we should stick together. Consider also that by living in Shannon-san's inn you guarantee that they'll be in danger as well."

"Really!"

(Damn. I didn't take that into account.)

(I've been enjoying life so much that I forgot about those guys.)

I took my head and now I was cursing myself for not realizing this in time.

Now that they are both my women. It's my duty to protect them.

So if I had eyes in my back I could do it.

I looked at Russell and understood what he said.

"You're an old bastard. You don't want to form a party for something as absurd as remembering good times we had, you want to guarantee they'll come after me before they come for you, if they manage to spot us, don't you?"

"You found me out, hahaha."

"Fucking old bastard..."

This guy was the worst.

But at the same time, that makes him someone to trust.

He's got a goal, he wants to live.

That makes him ideal for something I thought of a while back.

Subordinates.

They are essential for conquering countries according to the books I found in the guild.

Having strong allies is very necessary.

That's why, I'll use this old man and let him think he's using me too.

"I guess there's no other way. We'll be a party of two for now. Then I'll make you a slave and you'll clean my feet with your tongue."

"You wish, brat."

We shook hands and sealed our newly created a party of two.

◇◇◇

Underneath a mansion located on an estate, in the deepest part that wasn't the basement.

A meeting was taking place.

A group of men were gathered in a dark room which was lit by candles.

In the center of the wall was a crest on a hanging velvet carpet.

The crest was a black rose wrapped around a horse.

All present were executives, 17 executives from different departments.

Security.

Prostitution.

Slavery.

Gambling.

They were all gathered together.

"What's the emergency meeting about, boss?"

One of the members asked.

It seemed odd for them to meet on a day that was not the prescribed date.

Besides, getting all the members together was even more odd.

If only wanted to give a statement, could do so by means of a secret message.

The leader was wearing a hood that hid the face unlike the others.

They did not know whether it was a man or a woman.

It was perfectly covered the body.

But using the vocal cords of an iguana-like monster, it could imitate a distorted voice that took on different tones.

From adult to child, from man to woman, from young to old.

Discovering its identity was impossible.

"I asked you to come on an emergency basis for the simple fact that we have problems."

"What trouble are we in? The royal palace, perhaps?"

"No. Much worse."

"Does the Xerxes empire want to attack us? We have no jurisdiction there as the bloody emperor is very careful."

"You're wrong. It is worse."

For the members to be this surprised, it was a big deal.

"Then what is it?"

The leader told them.

"The army of the [Demon King] is moving."

"The Demon King you say?!"

"Yes. A spy in the area confirmed it."

Everyone was worried about it.

"Now that the demon king will move, the theocracy will not stand idly by."

"We must use this opportunity and make them destroy each other so that we won't be inconvenienced and take over every government like economy in the world."

"Just like a rose, its thorns will engulf everything, until it suffocates."

◇◇◇

In a residence located in the capital.

A girl was looking out of her room at the rain.

A maid came in.

"Emma ojou-sama, your father requests to see you now."

"... It's alright."

She was Emma, the fiancée of Luke, Regulus' vessel.

Emma came out of her room to head to her father's office.

"You were calling for me, Father?"

"Yes. Please sit down. I have something important to tell you."

Emma sat down and hoped that important news was good news for her.

"Emma... I'm sorry. But we'll call off the search."

"...Huh?"

The expression on her daughter's face, made him feel his heart clench.

"For half a year now we've been spending a lot of money on resources to look for Luke."

"But do you know how difficult it is to look for someone with his characteristics in this country?"

"Even his family has to stop the search as they are running out of money."

"I'm not asking you to give up hope, I'm just asking you... to understand that we can't spend every day of our lives looking for someone who run for no reason."

Her father expected his daughter to be angry or something similar.

"I understand, if that's all you wanted to tell me, I'll go back to my room."

Emma stood up and before leaving the office.

"I'm so sorry."

She heard her father say that.

As she walked down the long hallway to go to her room.

She watched the rain falling heavily.

The drops falling on the glass reflecting her face mingled with the tears running down her cheeks.

The strong winds that made the window doors slam covered her cry of pain.

◇

I was admiring how the sun was going down for the moon to replace it.

Lying on the grass is very relaxing.

But I was here for a reason.

What Russell said is true.

The Black Rose currently has us in their sights, possibly.

No, they'll probably have us in their sights sooner or later.

I need to find a way to get rid of them so they don't screw with my peace of mind.

But that's not the only thing.

Thanks to the animal-eared girl, I know there are strong people in the world.

When I close my eyes and concentrate, I can see a number in my head.

That number is 2. It means that I have reached level two out of 100 levels to be a Sword God.

I need to raise that number further.

But how can I do that?

How can I level up my skill?

How can I eliminate the black rose from my life?

How can I protect them from possible enemies I might make in the future?

While I was thinking about all that, a group of children passed by me.

"Take this!"

"You missed!"

"Of course I didn't. I hit you with my holy sword so you're dead."

"Fool. A high level undead won't die from something like that."

"That's not fair!"

"Fufufu, villains aren't fair. We're cheaters!"

Villains?

Cheaters?

Wait a minute...

Hearing those kids gave me an idea.

Yes. It's a very good idea.

I stood up at the same time as the sun was almost hidden and its orange light was shining brightly.

(Everyone hates criminals, bandits and murderers.)

(That's why they love knights and heroes. Because they protect them.)

(If I want to create a great reputation for myself. I should achieve a huge heroic feat.)

(But it sounds difficult to do so.)

(Therefore, I think I should definitely do something that will guarantee me an achievement and be able to do evil without receiving a punishment.)

I smiled wickedly as I saw how the night came.

(Just as I must succeed in becoming a hero to achieve my mission.)

(I must succeed in creating an evil that is on his level and so strong that no one but a certain "hero" can defeat it.)

(To create a big dream, you need a big lie.)

With that in mind I returned to the inn.

How can I be the hero and the villain at the same time?

It thrills me to really think about it.

◇◇◇

Somewhere in the cosmos, a battle was taking place in a great castle above some clouds.

"Kill him!"

"Don't let him come near god!"

"Call the archangels!"

A group of winged beings with hundreds of eyes activated mysterious magic circles near an individual, causing a large number of explosions.

If the planet earth still existed, these explosions would be superior to the Tsar bomb.

The blast wave of the megatons it generates is over a million km wide.

It could destroy the largest planet in the world without being attacked.

But even with all that power.

"I-It can't be..."

"Why doesn't it fall?!"

They can't stop him.

Zelzeus was walking calmly, using his white sword as he slashes at atomic level every attack.

Everything his sword touches vanishes as if it never existed.

If he cut the sun, it would disappear.

If he were to cut the Milky Way, it would be instantly erased.

If he cut death itself, no one could die anymore.

Zelzeus was the Sword God.

As long as he carries a sword, he will never know defeat or despair.

But even someone like him has a story to tell.

He smiled as the angels were frightened, a feeling they had never known they had just learned.

Zelzeus cut through a wall separating the first floor from the second.

There were over 90000 floors, but he had all eternity to do it.

"Where are you. god~?"

Zelzeus laughed as the angels that approached to stop him were cut down by the blast of air from his holy sword.

"No matter how long it takes, no matter where they are."

"I will kill every god in this universe."

"My vengeance against the gods will end when every god's very existence is wiped from every corner of the galaxy. Even if I must destroy life itself."

"I will never forgive the gods!"

The Sword God, the mightiest god of all.

He was the Armageddon itself for living things.

Will he desist from destroying everything...?

Or will mankind perish by his vengeance?

That is something no one can know.
