The Inheritance... A System?!

"...it's about time I hand over my inheritance."

'Finally, it's here!'

Zero thought with excitement.

Everything that happened so far was slightly different from the usual. From what he knew, on the basis of many fan fictions and novels that he had read previously, the protagonist had always gotten his golden finger straight from the very beginning…

But hey, what did he have to complain about? Wasn't he just about to get one of his own anyway?

"So what's in this so-called 'inheritance' you're giving me?"

The raven-haired teen asked with much enthusiasm.

"Eh, to be honest… my initial plan was just to directly transfer you all of my strength but then I had immediately realized after, that your body and soul wouldn't be able to handle it."

'Well no shit.'

Zero thought. He didn't dare say that out loud though.

"Knowing you, you probably wouldn't have wanted that anyway as in your terms, 'it'd be no fun'. So I ended up deciding to go with the second option."

God explained to which teen gave a smirk in return.

"Haha, you couldn't be any more right about that. I want to experience how it feels to grow stronger by myself rather than having all of it from the start. Wouldn't everything be more interesting that way?"

"Mm… at least you're willing to put in the effort. Something worth appreciating I'd say."

The Dimension God nodded his head in approval.

"So, what's that alternative you were talking about?"

Zero asked curiously.

"Well essentially, I will be compressing, then transforming all of my power, into something that will assist you as you get stronger."

"Uh, may I please ask you to further elaborate on that Sir?"

"In simple terms, you would be getting a System - one that has everything you'll ever need to reach the realm of Dimension God."

"Well? Although it was within my expectations, hearing it from God himself is like music to the ears. Sweet, a System huh - something all those otakus would have dreamed of. Haha!"

"Ah yes, I almost forgot to mention something. Since I'll be technically transferring my power into you, it'll also count as a form of god's blessing."

"Hmm… you mean like the Falna in the DanMachi world?"

The raven-haired teen raised an inquiring eyebrow.

"Not at all actually. The System will already show your stats and have the same functions as Falna, so there isn't really a need to have Falna inscribed on your back."

God denied while shaking his head before giving his successor an explanation.

"My blessing is different as it directly gives the receiving end a Talent. Although the Talent received is random, it definitely wouldn't be one that's bad. After all, it is still a grace given by a dimension god.

Luckily for you, the blessing you'll be receiving would be boosted by essentially all of my power as the blessing will occur whilst my power transfers onto you.

Now I don't exactly know what benefits you'll be receiving but what I do understand is that your future unlocked Talent would likely be something that is best suited to you along with being… overpowered I guess.

In any case, it'll manifest itself after you have acquired your System."

"Awesome! So what do you want for all this?"

Zero asked after a bit of thought.

"What do you mean?"

God inquired curiously as he had not expected such a random question.

"Well, as the saying goes... 'there's no free lunch in this world' so I was wondering if I could do something for you in return. I'm not exactly a person who likes to owe people debts you see."

The teen replied as a matter of factly.

"Hahaha. Good good. You also follow the principle of Give and Take. Now I'm even more certain that I have made the correct choice in choosing you."

"?"

Zero was confused but the god didn't pay any mind and continued speaking.

"There's only one thing that I want from you and that is to look after both dimensions for me."

"Eh? That's it?"

"Yes… After all, the two dimensions are going to be the only memories left of my sister and I after I leave."

The Dimension God ended his sentence with a gentle smile which, to be honest, gave Zero the creeps as it was the first time he saw the divine being display that expression ever since they had met.

"Ah, I see… let's just go with that then."

The teen honestly didn't know what else he could do for a guy who came up with the decision to literally erase his own existence himself.

After saying that, he noticed the deity standing up so he did the same as he'd feel awkward seated down alone.

"Well, are you ready kid? I'm about to start."
