The Monarch Of The Beginning
--- Rimuru Tempest's POV ---
"FULL RECOVERY!!!"
I was asleep until now since I named all the orcs that have now become my subordinate.
I promised to devour their sins to the demon lord Geld, and for some reason, I am now the chancellor of the Great Jura Alliance.
Oh well...
A few hours after naming a few orcs, Akihito came to me and told me that I could ask Great Sage to generate names and grant the orcs Magicules via Magic Senses...
Firstly, how did he even know about Great Sage?
And secondly, YOU CAN DO THAT!?
«Hmph»
...Sigh*
Whatever I guess.
It should've been three days wasn't it?
«Report. Approximately, 2 days and 40 hours»
Ah... I wonder if the others are still here.
"Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
I thought I heard a familiar voice, but that line was also familiar for some reason...
"Akihito?"
"Yes, I am Akihito" He stated thus.
We're currently in my room.
Before I could process anything else, the door slid open.
"Rimuru-sama!"
"Congratulations on your complete recovery, Rimuru-sama"
That was obviously Shion and Shuna.
It seems like everyone was preparing to leave, the group chat members, I meant.
There are only 20 minutes left huh... Guess I missed a lot of stuff.
.
.
.
In the end, I spend those 20 minutes talking with Akihito instead.
"I am a bit worried actually, with my subordinates..." I was indicating the fact that I selfishly declared I will take all of the orc's sins.
Well, I listened to how Benimaru told the new Orc King that he doesn't care while stating they are both comrades serving the same master.
Despite the fact, the Orc begs him to kill him and all...
How bold of him, he had grown up.
"They don't have human common sense, Rimuru. They're still adapting to your rules too. Don't attack humans, don't fight amongst themselves, and don't belittle other races--- do those rules sound familiar?"
"Eh? Ah---" Right, I wonder how this guy knew.
Someone must've told him, but seriously...
This whole time I realized something is weird.
I can set aside the group chat, if you pay attention to this guy I am sure you might realize it too: 'How did he know?'
*Ding*
[Time limit has been reached, automatically teleporting members to their homeworld]
"Oh well, it's been fun. I'll see you in another month, Rimuru"
White particles, when the admin stated that. He dissolved into white particles and disappears quickly.
The phenomenon was kinda scary if I may say, but surely it wasn't that bad.
Anyone that sighted the scene would surely make a racket and demanded an explanation from me, but that is a story for another time.
Wait... What did he say?
A month?

--- Okamura Akihito's POV ---
Both Hiromi and I opened our eyes inside our house.
"... We really went to another world."
"And came back it seems."
"I'm heading to my room..."
Seems like Hiromi got tired of futons...
Oh well,
[Admin's notification: New quest will arrive in a month]
I didn't tell everyone else this, but I don't think I need to.
Well, I'd just mention it on the chat later.
*Ding*
[First Quest Completed, an update to the Chat Group will be launched. The server would be down for approximately 24 hours]
Neat.
That would be my reaction when I didn't get berated by the notifications from constellations.
[The Monkey King is complaining about the long pause of the game.]
[The Monarch of the beginning is wondering why the human world stopped for a few days]
[A nameless deity asks what the other constellations are talking about]
[The Goddess of night mocks him for not being able to detect a world suspension]
[The Nameless Deity retorted and curses at the Goddess of night]
[The Forgotten Dragon King says hello to everyone else]
"You guys are as noisy as always..."
[The Goddess of night curses at you]
And we're back to this life. I could've sworn Rimuru's world was actually better despite the power scaling.
"Why are you even watching me if you're just gonna be a hater? There are literally other players you could bother."
[The Goddess of Night says that she hated you for defying your fated death.]
[She wants you to accept your death, and return to the cycle peacefully]
Yup, I don't get it.
[The Monarch of Beginning is intrigued by your backstory]
[The Monkey King also asks you to tell them about yourself]
[The Forgotten Dragon King wishes to know more about you but stated that you don't have to comply if you don't want to]
[The Monkey King calls him a killjoy and urges you to tell them about your backstory]
"..."
Well, they're certainly getting much more noisy...
"well let's see... I was Rei****************"
[The Monkey King is complaining about why your words got filtered by the system.]
I knew exactly that I said those words, but I know that I can't comprehend what was coming out of my mouth either once it gets spelled out.
None could comprehend what I was saying.
Huh, All according to plan.
"Oh✨! Oh no! It seems like I can't tell you anything because of the system! Maaan, what a paaaain~. Not being able to tell you guys is a paaaaain~✨"
[The Goddess of Night commands you to wipe that smug look on your face]
It's my win.
"Well, all I can tell you is that it's not within my authority. I can't help it, okay? Even I want to know what the hell happened." I stated this to the goddess of night.
[The Monkey King scratches his head and asks you what you meant]
[The Forgotten Dragon King is intrigued by your words]
...
After a long pause,
[The Goddess of Night was skeptical by your words, she says she will take those words into account and will investigate more to this phenomenon ]
Huh, I guess that works.
"Well, if you don't have anything else to do, I am going to take a bath right now." I announced those words to the constellations.
I was expecting them to log off or something, but to my surprise,
[The Monarch Of the Beginning asks you how you caused a such great disturbance in each of the other worlds]
...huh?
Looking at that notification, I say, "I don't know what you're talking about."
[He mentioned the part where you cause every world to be suspended for a few days.]
[The Monkey King spurt out the tea which was once inside his mouth]
[He asks if you were actually the cause of the world suspensions]
[The Goddess of Night got suspicions of you]
This... Was very uncalled for...
"As I said, I don't know what you guys are talking about. If you do have proof about me with this... 'world suspension' thing maybe we'll talk after that. Now log off if you guys don't want to see me naked"
I ignored their messages and hurriedly went inside the bathroom.
This is bad...
The Monarch of Beginning, if I was not mistaken then his name was Legia.
Aincrad's Administrators may have noticed me already...

--- Third Person's POV---
Sung Jin Woo was back in his home world.
He glanced at the time to see nothing changed in the past days.
Everything was alright and nothing weird happened.
That, until a message came to his system.
[Welcome, Player]
He was once again welcomed by the blue holographic system in front of him, as if it---
No, as if the creator of the system knows he had been somewhere else other than his homeworld.
His stats were still the same, the skills he got from the third parties doesn't have any abnormality, and nothing in his world seemed to change.
Thus with a sigh, he concluded that nothing is wrong.
But you can't say the same for the monarchs.
The cruel angel who designed Sung Jin Woo's system knows exactly what happened to him.
He was transported to another multiverse whilst his homeworld was suspended.
The same World Suspension happened throughout the multiverse, even though the human world had stronger effects as it froze anyone completely disregarding how much divinity they had.
And by the ruler's side, a certain monarch who rules over giants sees the system notification in front of him.
He was captured by the rulers and was chained down inside a dungeon.
The essence stone that was placed on his neck by the rulers causes him to develop bloodlust towards humans, yet the mana-absorbing chains that hold him down prevented him to go berserk.
"That human definitely was the cause..."
