3 Fork road ahead of me

"You are the one who supposed to be alive and not him." She said as she stares at me.

As I hear it for the third time that she said that it's not supposed to me. I ask her" If it's not supposed to be me, which one was supposed to die then? Is it Daquan or the truck driver?"

"It should be your friend Daquan who died due to hit and run but some moron saved his life and since he didn't die someone should pay for his life and as luck move in mysterious ways it has choose you. Nature tends to balance itself out and if some external force meddle with its way ... well there you go nature finds a way." As she explains it to me like some moron. Well to be honest she has called me moron a bunch of times now since we met few minutes ago.

-Ring Ring Ring-

We heard a phone call in the boundless expanse of a room that we are currently in.

She walked ahead of me and take out a phone from her back pocket. "Mosh Mosh ..."

As I heard her speak Japanese I suddenly remember all those videos that I watched in papa HH website. Ahhh I won't be able to watch quality vids from that website what a shame. *Sigh*

"Yeah, he's here with me. No he looks stupid. Yeah but that's a pretty important job are you sure? I think we could find somebody else aside from him we could just make another quote-unquote mistake on our side to find someone else. With that we filter those candidates on who could be the most fitting from them. Yes I know we should compensate him and it's not entirely possible to send him back to his reality. No I'm not opposed to this plan but I think we are rushing it by a little bit. Yeah I know it's been thousands of year since someone filled that position and the balance of that planet is getting out of hand but we can still handle for a while. Hell no! I'm already busy with other things." She screamed the last part and looked back at me.

I smile back at her and gave her a thumbs up. Well I didn't listened to their conversation on the phone but I know she must be pretty angry to shout that last part.

"Yes yes yes fine. I'll ask him if he's willing to take up that position but I won't force him to do it though. If he's not willing to do it I'll think of something to compensate him." She walked back to me.

"Hey John you got a minute?" She asked me with that cold stare of hers and I suddenly felt sweaty from my back. "Sure I have all the time in world since I got nothing to do." As I fidget since just from her looks that made me feel cold, the tone of her seems she's pretty angry at me but I didn't do anything wrong since we met. Makes me wonder is her personality like this or did I offended her for some reason unknown to me? Nah I don't believe that, I mean I looked at her since she's too beautiful to be true but that's it. There's no capital offense for appreciating beauty right? Well if there is ... I'd be dead even before I got here.

"So here's the current predicament which we are in right now 1st; you're not supposed to die earlier, I have already told you that. 2nd; we cannot send you back to that reality since you have died there a gruesome death. Well technically we can send you back there and rewind time a bit but it will cause a tremendous amount of energy which we cannot afford to pay for the mere likes of you" She said that in neither happy or sad tone. Well I wasn't happy with those two facts that I had learned.

"But we may have a solution to this problem. Hear me out, in one of the realities my section currently manage we have a planet that have a problem of balance. There's too much violence which is happening, humans is slowly eradicating other races such as beast men, elves and dwarves. Oh that planet also have dragons but humans can't even be compared to them and powerless against those intelligent creatures. And so what we'll offer you is a chance to transmigrate to this realities' planet and sort this thing out. So basically we're offering you a job." She said those and gave me a stack of papers.

"This is the contract. Sign this and I'll explain it further to you. "As she hands me a pen.

"So what if I don't accept this job? What will happen to me?" I ask as I read the contract.

"So basically what will happen is you will be erased from this shared reality and I will grant your family a sh!tload of luck, money, talent and just to be sure I will also grant them better genes. As I look at you, you're not that ugly but you're also not that handsome, it's just enough to make people approach you since you doesn't look like a criminal." She said those as if they're cold hard facts.

"Well I know I'm not that good looking but did you really have to those harsh words?" I rebuked her.

"That's the truth and what can you do about it?" She calmly said.

"Well my parents are living a good life in the country side with good pensions from the work they had when they were still young and my brother has better job than me that pays better. So nah fu** 'em they won't need it. So yes I'll accept this offer thank you very much." Then I signed each page from the contract which has 10 pages. It also states here that my monthly wage as an entry level employee is 10,000 credits per month. Now I don't know if it's good or bad but I have nothing to lose right?

"So I accepted the job now by signing the contract right?" As I pass her the papers.

"Not yet you still to mark the 1st page with a thumb mark using your blood as the ink. Here's a needle use it in either thumb of yours." She then materializes a needle and hand it to me.

"Wow so barbaric yet modernize! That's so brutal! Ahahaha damn it hurts" As I pinched my right thumb with the needle and mark the 1st page of the contract with it.

"Are we done? Can you now explain it to me?" I ask her as she examines the contract.

"Okay well done. So here's what's happening some human supremacist empire is waging war against other races although it is only one of the several empires that inhabit the planet. This is empire has the largest territory and one of the strongest warriors if not The strongest warriors in the land. The Bestille Empire already conquered a third of the midland continent which expanse from the green sea and polar highlands. They've been doing it for more than a decade now, wagering wars against other races. What we want you to do is to stop this warmonger empire lest the natural of balance of the planet suffers and we don't want that. "As she said those words I can see the fire in her red iris' eyes which looked really pretty.

*Snap* *Snap* "Hey are you listening to me?" She asked me as she snapped her fingers twice.

"Yes I'm listening but can't you do nothing about it? Seems you guys are pretty much like a God and just do a holy intervention to make them stop." I asked her the thing has been bothering me since she started explaining things to me.

"We can totally do that but that will be against the natural order of the multiverse and that is bigger problem that I can't handle." She told me those as she wagged her fingers in front of me.

"So to be sure you just want me to stop them from destabilizing the balance of nature?" I ask.

"Yes but you have to follow these conditions. 1st you will either start with a dungeon or tower as main base of operations and you will not be allowed to leave that starting point in a fixed amount of time, now how long is that will be up to natural order of the planet itself."

There are two routes ahead of me.... lazy dungeon master or letting me manage the tower?

Hmmm both are good isekai novels though.
