Racist little shit....

…

...What is this familiar place…?

?: Alexander Carter… Welcome to the afterworld, I'm Eris, the goddess who'll guide your way. Your time in the mortal world is up.

Alex stood up in the void and looked at the person in front of him, the person in question, Eris, is a beautiful young girl with long silvery hair, and purple eyes. She had a delicate and beautiful face that impresses on him a hint of melancholy. She was wearing a loose, white hagoromo. 

But… Was she looking at him with a slight hint of disgust? Wait, Eris? The same name of the Order in which Darkness was from? He remembered Darkness' behavior when she heard that he had a demonic job such as Void Highlord, maybe the racism against demons is more extended on the cult instead of individuals…

Alex: So… I died again?

Eris: That's right. You got stabbed from your own "demonic" blade when you fell unconscious.

Eris' voice seemed venomous when she said the word "Demonic", but Alex ignored it, it seems that their relationship won't be that good between them…

Alex: So… What's going to happen?

Eris: Now I will use my power to let you reincarnate in America to a self-sustaining family and live a free life.

Alex: Oh… Well, this is a bit sa-

?: Hurry up and come back Alex! How can you be killed off so easily in such a place! It's too early for you to die!

Alex: What the fuck is happening?!

The voice of Aqua echoed in the void, surprising both Alex and Eris.

Eris: Wha-! This voice, Aqua-senpai!? I was thinking that Archpriest looked just like Senpai, could it really be her!?

Aqua: Alex, can you hear me? I have cast Resurrection on your body, you can come back now. There's a goddess before you, right? Ask that girl to open the gate back here.

Alex: ...She can cast Resurrection?!

Eris: Hold on, wait a minute! No, no, I'm sorry, you've already been revived once. By the laws of the heavens, you can't be resurrected again! The other side can't hear us, unless Aqua-senpai is connected to your voice. Could you help me pass along the message?

Alex shrugged and yelled.

Alex: Hey, Aqua, can you hear me!? She said that I've already been revived once, so I can't be revived again because of some rules in heaven!

…

Aqua: Ah? Which goddess said such foolish things! Tell me your name! A goddess watching over such a far-off place should respect an elite like me who oversees Japan!!

Alex: She called herself Eris!

Aqua: Eris!? That flat-chested Eris that audaciously used her name as the currency unit, just because she was worshipped as the national religion of this world!? Listen, Alex, if Eris continues to prattle, you just go for the pads in her bra and-

Eris: I get it, I get it! I'll make an exception this time! I'll open the gate now!

Eris snapped her fingers while blushing, at the same time, a plain white door appeared before Alex.

Eris: Really, Aqua-senpai is still as unreasonable as ever… This way, the gate to the mortal world… Really, this wouldn't normally happen. By the rules, be it kings or big shots, everyone else only gets one chance… Really… You're Alex, right?

Alex: Yes, I'm Alex.

Eris: I will not have mercy on a demon like you if you talk about this to someone. You are lucky a certain someone is so near to you, otherwise I would have directly sent you to hell instead of reincarnating you.

Eris coldly glanced at Alex, who frowned and said while walking to the door.

Alex: You are a racist little shit…

Soon, after entering the white door, he heard a sound from the distance.

?: ...ex... ! Alex, get up! Alex!

Alex opened his eyes, and found Megumin lying on his body, sobbing. Meanwhile, his right hand was held from Darkness, down on one knee as she held his hand on her hands. Her eyes seemed to be closed in prayer.

He felt breathing at the top of his head and saw Aqua looking down on him.

Aqua: ...Ah, you finally got up? That child is so stubborn, really.

And then Alex realized that his head was on Aqua's lap, when Megumin and Darkness noticed that he was awake, they wordless gave him a tight hug.

It was nice that they were happy about his resurrection, but this was embarrassing…

Aqua: Hey Alex, don't get hung up on being embarrassed. There should be something you want to say to us, right?

She spoke with a mischievous smile, and Alex just said.

Alex: Eris is extremely racist against me…

Darkness: Wha-

Aqua: Yeeeeah… She doesn't like anything that is heavily connected to a demon, like you…

Darkness: Eris is racist?! What did she do?!

Alex: ...At the end she threatened to send me to hell if I didn't kept her secrets, and that she didn't do it immediately because I had a friend that she was very close to…

Darkness: …

Megumin: Anyway, is your body okay? Does it feel weird anywhere?

Alex: Nah, I feel fine.

He said so as he got up from Aqua's lap and stretched his body.

Alex: By the way, how was I killed?

Aqua: Your Oblivion Blade of Nulgath fell on your neck…

Alex: Ouch…

He unconsciously rubbed the back of his neck. He looked down and saw his own blood and the blades he summoned before. So he made them disappear and looked around, Beldia's body disappeared, probably purified.

Alex: So… Let's go back to the guild, alright?

The others nodded and they followed Alex, who was checking his adventurer's card.

Current level: 31.

He jumped 10 entire levels from killing Beldia, gaining 20 Skill Points, that, coupled with the 30 Skill Points from Beldia's soul, he has a total of 50 souls. For now it is better having an attack skill…

[Highlord's Gaze]

>Level 1/1

>Your gaze can strike fear in your opponents and has enough power deal moderate damage. If the opponent's willpower isn't strong enough, then their blood flow will dwindle, and it could even congeal, making them slower.

Not only that, but you can feed on their despair, which can heal you proportionally to the despair that they release.

It costed a whopping 50 skill points, but he thinks that Highlord's Gaze is worth it, this wasn't a mind control skill, it was a skill that would make him scarier, so people like vampires can be affected from it.

When he arrived on the guild, a strong smell welcomed him, everyone was having a party for Alex defeating the Dullahan.

Aqua: Let's collect the bounty, Alex! You killed the Dullahan alone so you have the entire bounty! Meanwhile the others already got their own rewards for participating.

Alex nodded so he walked to the counter, where Luna spoke.

Luna: Alexander Carter, correct? We have been expecting you. To honor Alexander Carter and his party's victory over the Demon King's General, Beldia… The guild awards them 300 million Eris.

Alex's eye twitched when he heard "Eris", but he kept quiet.

The entire guild was silent when they heard the number of money he will get with the bounty. And suddenly, they started to yell about Alex to treat them to a meal, he smiled and yelled back.

Alex: Alright! Just for this time I will treat you all!

He accepted because he didn't know how to currently use the money, and so, everyone passed the afternoon to eat and drink as they pleased.
