Let's be evil people!

"An adventurer guild... it should be over there." 

While Isao didn't have money or even an identification card, he could easily enter as he used the ability to control those with DNAs he had replicated. For him, entering this place was as easy as walking into the park. Even if he became a Demon King in this world, there was no need to worry about anything except the deities in heaven within this world. 

Regardless, after he came to this city, he didn't go to the hotel with the merchant lady as she had to go to the Merchants Guild to take care of her business. 

His self-control wasn't like before, and he wasn't such a horny dog that would go after every married woman. Instead of going after a woman, he thought about what could be gained in this world. 

Still, as he had nothing at the moment, except for the money that he gained after giving all the bandits he caught along the way, he thought about getting an identity. 

Naturally, the best way to get an identity was to join a guild, especially the adventurer guild. 

'Adventurer.' 

This was the staple and most common job that every Isekai character gained, and it was also the easiest job to join as one didn't need a qualification to do it except for living.

If Isao made a comparison, it would be like an adventurer, a ridesharing driver, or a food delivery service in the modern world. They didn't have a fixed salary, and they earned their income through every work they performed. The more they worked, the more money they gained. 

Still, unlike the ridesharing driver or food delivery service, which had a limited income, being an adventurer, especially a successful one, could give one a lot of income. 

Yet, Isao felt it was normal since the adventurer had a high risk. 

The rule of the market has always been low risk, low income, but a high risk will give a high income.

Moreover, becoming an adventurer could help him observe the protagonist. 

Yes, Isao didn't join the protagonist since he wanted to avoid attracting the attention of the deities. Even if he wanted to test his ability, whether he really could escape from the deities or not, it was better to play safe, but then, even if he planned not to have much interaction with the protagonist, it didn't stop him from observing the protagonist. 

'But his abilities are amazing.' 

Crafter.

While this job was disdained by many, in the hands of the protagonist of this world, it made him able to have a space inventory, a crafting ability that allowed him to make anything almost instantly, a power to dig, and many others that were related to crafting. 

This job was almost a jack of all the trades of the artisan type of job. 

Not only could being a crafter help him to make a weapon, a material, cook, and do various other things, but the best thing about this job was to enhance magic into an item. 

If Isao had to say, it was quite similar to the process of creating a Magic Weapon in the world of "Danmachi," but an enhancement had a lot more variety, and it wasn't only used for a weapon.

However, as he stepped forward toward the adventurer guild, he suddenly thought of one thing. 

Was this okay? 

Was it okay for him to just follow the template of every Isekai adventurer story? 

Becoming a hero, a powerful adventurer, and many other types, somehow, Isao felt that all of that was too boring. 

His focus had never been on humans and all living beings in this world but on the deities above heaven. 

In this world, Isao thought that he should be bold, doing something that he hadn't dared to think of previously. Moreover, instead of being on the safe path, he should try to attract the attention of those deities. 

Could they come out to the lower world? 

Or were they just looking from heaven? 

At the same time, what were they capable of? 

More importantly, would they be able to detect him after he used his abilities? 

As he thought so, he stood still on his steps, thinking for a while, and decided to change the course of his steps. In the beginning, he thought of becoming an adventurer, hunting goblins, wolves, monsters, and dragons, but then, he changed his mind. 

Frankly, the fastest way to attract the attention of those deities was to manipulate the king of this kingdom and make himself into the real king of everyone. It might be impossible for others, but for him, who could take control of others whose DNA he had absorbed, he knew that he could do it. 

Yet, he felt it was too much, and the aftermath was troublesome since he didn't want to become a king. 

Being part of a noble was fine, as he only took care of a small territory, but becoming a king was troublesome. 

Then, should he become a noble? 

It was impossible for him to rob other's identities and take the position of the noble in this area with ease, but then, this wouldn't attract much attention as he definitely would become a good lord who brought his people to prosperity. 

Isao had to bring attention to everyone, yet it couldn't be so much that he would be erased directly, and his existence definitely couldn't be underestimated. Instead, he had to be looked up to and even worshipped by many. 

Then, what kind of job should he choose? 

Not only did he rise to the top quickly, but he also attracted everyone's attention by being either worshipped or feared. 

As he thought so, suddenly, a profession appeared in his mind. 

This profession made trouble for everyone, and it was also the one that had troubled him in the beginning. 

"A bandit..." 

Yes, this was the profession that he should choose. 

Not only did this profession help him become wealthy instantly, but it also helped him to attract the attention of others and made him feared by many.

His choice might be strange since he had vowed himself to become a good person, but then, why did he choose to become a criminal? 

Yet, as he was once a bad guy, he also knew that there was a way to give kindness through evil, and he also knew that it was impossible to erase evilness as it would exist in everyone. 

There was even a saying, "To fight a poison with a poison." 

Regardless, he thought of becoming a necessary evil and became the king of the underworld, hoping to lessen the evilness in this world. His words might be contradictory, but sometimes, to fight the darkness, it wasn't necessary to use a light, and sometimes darkness was needed. 

At the same time, there was also part of him who wished to do something bad, mischievous, or troublesome to others, as being a good guy was too exhausting. 

Anyway, his purpose was to attract the attention of the deities, so the best way to do this was to do whatever he wanted, but within the bottom line. 

Being a bandit suited him well since it was clear that he was a bad guy, and it wouldn't make him appear a hypocrite like those leaders above, who usually appeared respected, yet inwardly, they were shit. 

At this moment, as he had made up his mind, he turned away from the adventurer guild, but before that, let's go to the hotel to wait for Marie. 

Frankly, he was also tired of playing the role of "Yasashi," a virgin boy. 

'Just this time, after that, everything will return to how it used to be.' 

As for the protagonist? 

The moment Isao had already replicated Miyabi's DNA, the protagonist's value had long disappeared in his eyes. 

Only—

Miyabi, who was about to enter the adventurer guild, felt that he had seen someone familiar. 

"What's wrong, Miyabi?" Liz asked with a doubt. 

"No, I just thought that I saw Isa there," Miyabi said as he pointed his finger in the distance. 

"Eh? Where is Isa? Where is he?" Liz asked while looking around, but she was unable to find Isao. 

Well, in this world, instead of Isao, he called himself Isa. 

"Where is he?" Liz looked at Miyabi annoyedly. 

"I just thought, okay? But it seems that it might be my imagination." Miyabi sighed helplessly, thinking that Isao's charm was too high, which made even Liz, who was smart, smitten by him, but then again, thinking of the lady merchant... he thought for a while and looked at Liz, thinking that this girl definitely wasn't Isao's type. 

"What was with that gaze?" Liz frowned and asked, "Did you think something rude about me? Did you forget who gave you the money to enter?" 

"No! No! I am sorry! I am sorry!" 

His habit as a people of the country and salaryman suddenly activated, and Miyabi kept apologizing. He knew that he owed a lot of things to Liz, and he knew that his thought was rude, but then again, he wondered whether he could meet Isao again as he felt they wouldn't meet each other. 

---

By the way, I know that it might be late, but the title of the world that Isao has entered is so long! 

Also, I am reading the manga instead of the novel. 

Try it.
