In a bland gray room.

Edol looked around, confused.

'Is this a dream?'

A figure materialized in front of him, cheerfully waving one of its hands.

OakFlame: Yo, Oak here. How's it goin, Edol?

Edol: … Who are you, and where am I?

Oak: I'm the author. It seemed like you were getting a bit tired of fighting that cringy guy, so I brought you here to chat.

Edol: So in other words… you are the one who made me die on Earth? Then sent me to hell, despite me never doing anything wrong?

Oak: I suppose. But hey, aren't you having fun? You even have magic now! Oi! Why are you getting closer?!

Edol: My steel-toed boots want to have a word with you~

Oak: No! Summon! Ghost, save me!

Ghost: Oi, where am I? I was just about to eat a potato…

Edol: Ugly, stand back. This bastard is mine.

Ghost: Filthy Goblin, I thought I told you to stop calling me that!

Oak: Yea, beat this rude guy up, Ghost!

Edol: Ugly… this guy is the author. He's the one who killed us and threw us in hell… so that means…

Ghost: He also killed all my family…

Oak: This doesn't look good. Summon Danu!

Danu: What's going on here? I thought I was supposed to be a historical goddess or something!

Ghost: I'm going to kill you…

Danu: Wha- ah! Those are some scary eyes!

Oak: What? Danu, you were supposed to protect me! Don't leave me here!

Edol: Ghost, hold up. Don't kill this guy-

Oak: Yes! I knew I could rely on you!

Edol: -Because death is too good for him! Help me hold him down!

Oak: Wait! I'll summon your family here! Mercy!

Sophie: Eh? Where am I- Bro! You're alive!

Ugly: Ooo, a cutie! What's your name?

Edol: Back off, fiend! That's my little sister you're talking to!

Sophie: Wow, your armor is so... hot! You look like a demon lord!

Ugly: I know, right?! This armor was my luckiest find! Also… don't think I didn't notice you changing my tag, Oak.

Oak: Wait! I'll make it something cool! Don't hit me!

Super Cool Demon Lord Summer Ghost Of The Crimson Ghost Relic Team: Hmph, much better. I guess I'll let you go this time.

Edol: Sophie… I thought you liked playing those games for the adventure… but it turns out that these are your preferences…

Sophie: Well it's not like I asked you to play with me! You weren't any good at them anyway, I'd bet that this cool demon guy is way better!

(Edol looking horrified and spiritually lost)

Super Cool Demon Lord Summer Ghost Of The Crimson Ghost Relic Team: Yea, you heard right, goblin.

???: Hmm. What's going on here?

Oak: Eh? Who's that?

???: Bleh, looks boring in here. I thought it might be something worthy of the protagonist's presence, but looks like it is just a bunch of weirdos meeting up. Cya.

Oak:???

Edol:???

Super Cool Demon Lord Ghost:???

Hell Crawler:???

Edol: I thought I was the protagonist…

Oak: You are. I don't even know who that might have been.

Demon Lord Ghost: Aren't you the author? How can you not know who that guy is?

Oak: Odd…

Demon Ghost: Wait, I think there was an extra line above. Someone called "Hell Crawler"? What's that about?

Oak: That spider demon thing that attacked y'all! It's pretty cool, right?

(Hell Crawler charges over, prompting Edol to grab Soph and run).

Oak: Eh? What are you running for? You can't die anyways, and we are in my realm right now. This little guy is friendly here!

(Hell Crawler stops in front of Oak and starts dancing).

???:Ugh, that spider thing is fortnite dancing! My eyes! I'm really leaving this time!

Oak: ?!? Who is this guy?

Danu: Nevermind that, why did you call us in here?

Oak: You really dare to come back now, after abandoning me earlier? Do you really think I don't have the ability to write you out of the story?

Denu: Well, I wasn't going to be an active character anyway. It's pretty peaceful, really. No fighting, politics, or worries…

Oak: Hmph, we'll see about that! As punishment for abandoning me earlier, you are now my writing assistant! Ha! Now you have to edit all my many grammatical mistakes…

Danu: I would complain, but seeing as how you misspelled my name three sentences ago, you definitely need the help.

Oak: Alright readers, if there are any spelling errors from here on, it isn't on me. Blame Danu!

Danu: Ugh. Well, if you are going to be shameless, so will I. Dear readers, thank you for this far! If you are enjoying, please add this novel to your collections and vote for it!

Oak: That's right! Thank you for reading, and have a good day!
