Prologue

"So um… excuse me Sir Dimension God. Since you're saying that I haven't died, why exactly am I here?"

Zero blinked innocently as he asked the figure who was currently sitting in front of him sipping some coffee.

The teen was genuinely curious as he had suddenly appeared in this place seemingly out of nowhere. The last thing he remembered doing was watching a newly released anime movie with his group of friends at the cinemas.

And no, it was not an otaku group or any of the sort.

Okay sure, they were definitely people who enjoyed watching anime, playing games and while there was also the occasional discussion and debates about them, it wasn't to the point of obsession - just a common hobby between friends you could say.

Anyway, after the movie had finished, Zero was planning on going to a nearby restaurant to have dinner with his friends as the time around then was already pretty late into the evening.

But just as he was walking past the double doors of the cinema entrance, he had suddenly found himself in this strange and mysterious location which basically looked like it was surrounded by vast galaxies.

Everywhere was brightly lit and if he was to be honest, he found it quite amazingly beautiful.

As Zero was admiring the sight, he had failed to notice that he was standing in front of what appeared to be a circular wooden dining table and that there was actually someone sitting on one of the two seats available.

It was not until he heard someone ask him if he had finished his stargazing did he finally come back to reality with a slightly startled expression on his face, but that didn't stop him from replying with an - 'Oh shit! My apologies, I didn't really notice you there. Haha… Well, not to be rude but… Who the fuck are you?'

And the next words that came right after were - "Ah... wait that didn't come out the right way. Just a slip of the tongue… Yes, a slip of tongue is what that was. Don't get angry… Ah, please drop that scary expression you have there… Haha…"

And that is how our protagonist found himself sitting opposite a figure who was supposedly the Dimension God and the very same person who had patiently explained to him how he hadn't yet died and was only summoned here instead.

Of course, that was after Zero received a couple of deadly glares from the god for the initial lack of respect the god had been given.

Have to say though, the guy definitely had a very intense atmosphere around him.

It made an 19-year-old like himself feel pressured and the temperament radiating off the man gave people the feeling of wanting to kneel down and start worshiping him.

Zero was lucky the god didn't take his rudeness to heart.

After all, our protagonist knew from gut instinct, that if the god was only a tad bit serious, he would most likely be dead by now. Just the god collapsing his aura on him would turn him into a pool of blood.

God appeared to be in his middle-aged years and from his sharp facial features, Zero could imagine that the guy was handsome when he was young, maybe just as handsome as himself. Not that he was being a narcissist or anything - Just telling the truth. Facts people, facts.

With short, black raven hair, styled nicely along with a charming face and six-pack abdominals on a nicely toned body, his appearance and easy-going personality had allowed many women to fall for him.

Of course, as he quite enjoyed his carefree life and not to mention that he was still rather young himself, Zero never really got into any serious relationships.

The occasional flings here and there were just to satisfy the occasional cravings for sex, something which had the consent of both parties when they made the decision to enter the relationship.

Anyway, back to the present.

"Excuse me… eh… Sir…? God…? Dimension God…? My apologies, but what should I call you?"

"Any of the above three are fine."

"Oh... alright. Well, once again, excuse me… sir Dimension God, since you told me that I haven't died, why exactly am I here?"

Zero asked curiously with a glint in his eyes which God, being the supreme being he was, naturally noticed.

"You… Don't tell me that you honestly think that this god is the same as those rip-off gods in those fan-fictions of yours... that I just… 'coincidentally' happened to have made a mistake with your soul and summoned you here in order to compensate you?"

The Dimension God didn't reply to the question immediately but asked a question in return with an almost exasperated tone in his voice.

"Well, as a matter of fact, yes I do."

The raven-haired teen declared rather confidently and straightforwardly. Ignoring the rolling eyes of the figure sitting opposite him, he continued.

"Although I personally think that it's sort of clichéd, this situation seems to be very similar to the ones depicted in those fan-fictions, wouldn't you think so too? So I would like to politely ask again, why exactly am I here?"

"I am looking for a successor."

The Dimension God stated solemnly.

"And...?"

Zero questioned in an oblivious tone.

Although that sole statement he was able to piece things together somewhat, he still questioned like he didn't understand what the god was talking about as everything just seemed so unbelievable. Him, an ordinary guy… becoming the successor of a Dimension God? Who in the world came up with that crappy joke?

"And… that successor is you yourself."

The god pointed at him with his index finger.

Well fuck. The crappy joke became a reality.
