Everything Comes With A Price

The monsters outside the world barrier are trying to invade Venus as they attack the world barrier. The monsters should be able to create an entry into the world barrier at an estimated time of an hour.

Fortunately, a world barrier doesn't need to be manually recovered since it recovers the damage on its own using the energy of the world which is mana.

There was a world barrier in my previous world but I accidentally destroyed it during the time I obtained my mathematics manipulation. I accidentally divided the world barrier by zero, making the world barrier in my previous world nonexistent.

Although my previous world could be easily invaded by monsters from another world, there were still no monsters that invaded my world due to me acting as the guardian of my previous world.

I defeated all monsters from another world that tried to invade my previous world so monsters from another world weren't new to me. I can help the living beings in this world to repel the monsters from another world but I also don't have to.

Since I didn't come from this world, I don't have any obligation to save this world from the destruction caused by monsters from another world.

But of course, I will save the plot of land in Venus that I used as the land for my house. That is why I have created a barrier around my house that will prevent the monsters from destroying my house.

The lives of the living beings in this world aren't of my concern and whether they die or not is up to their capabilities. If they die, then they die. It is as simple as that.

I was a villain back in my previous world so being neutral in the battle against the living beings in this world against the monsters from another world is the best thing I can do for them.

After all, I have also promised my little sister that I will redeem myself in another world but it doesn't mean I will become a hero who forces his ideals on the people he saved.

Even if this world is destroyed, the worst-case scenario for me is to find another world to live in. There are numerous worlds in this universe. It is not like Venus is the only world in this universe.

That is why I don't have to save any people in this world. But if the monsters attack my house despite me remaining neutral, then I don't mind helping the people in this world.

As I thought of that, I sit comfortably on my sofa while drinking cola.

I don't need to do anything in this world to sustain my everyday life such as earning money since I can create an infinite amount of money using my infinity manipulation.

Food isn't also a problem since I can create anything using creation via addition. I might be bored staying in this house of mine without having anything to do. I might go on an adventure to see whether my rational way of thinking is indeed the right way.

Now that I think about it, isn't life already hell?

During my lifetime, I faced numerous problems and I was forced to sacrifice a lot of things and one of the sacrifices of my choices is my little sister. I don't regret my decisions and I will still use my rational way of thinking to solve any problems of mine.

My life was like a tragedy. It was as if the life I was experiencing was already hell itself. Sigh, now I somehow regret obtaining an infinite lifespan.

Now I understand why some of the people I met said that life is hell while death is liberation. Should I just kill myself?

No, it is not a rational thing to do. I sacrificed a lot of things just to obtain power and now I am going to kill myself afterward? Wouldn't that just prove that the life I was living was pointless?

I have a lot of questions that can easily be answered by other beings but it is hard for me to answer them.

I had kept on thinking rationally that I doubt whether thinking rationally was the most rational thing to do.

It was a good thing that I have a lot of time on my hands so I can contemplate and try to answer all of the questions I have during this entire lifespan of the mine.

During this lifetime of mine, I found out that everything comes with a price. Obtaining power comes with a price and all of my rational decisions sacrificed those who are dear to me but it was all for the greater good.

I have decided! It is rational to reduce the number of casualties so that the people can prosper!

I might as well help the living beings in this world from the threat of the monsters from another world. I can think of this as the starting point of my path of redemption.
