"**I'm Yuuya. Yuuya Tera Hirasawa Effort, or you can call me Yuuya Hirasawa. You're a reincarnated person, but I'm a summoned one, or maybe a transferred one would be more accurate.**"
"**W-What?!**"
The young man standing before him turned out to be the first King of Effort.
"**Were you that surprised?**"
The young man with black hair, who looked to be in his twenties, took a sip of coffee and smiled at Cain's face.
"**The First King...**"
"**Just call me Yuuya.**"
"**...Yes, the history books say that Yuuya was from three hundred years ago.**"
Cain, after being reincarnated into this world, had first read books on history and magic. He remembered laughing when he saw the name of the first king.
"**Yeah, that's right. I don't understand the sense of time here, but in this world, three hundred years have passed?**"
"**In this world? What do you mean by that?**"
Cain asked, puzzled by Yuuya's response.
"**Well, we'll talk about that later, Cain. Can we stay here for a while?**"
"**I have to go back by tomorrow. I have the academy to attend.**"
"**I see. Then let's go over there.**"
Cain was curious about what Yuuya was saying.
"**Let's move after you finish your coffee. This is the room.**"
Yuuya put down his empty coffee cup on the table and guided Cain. They moved from the living room to the hallway and stopped in front of a door.
"**We're going to move a bit.**"
Yuuya said that and opened the door.
"**Wow...**"
Cain could only utter that.
The other side of the door was not a room but the outside, a completely different place. Encouraged by Yuuya, Cain stepped through the door.
"**What is this place...**"
Cain asked Yuuya.
"**This is a different dimension I created. It's called Fabineer.**"
"**Created...**"
Cain was amazed beyond his imagination. The other side of the door was a sandy beach. In front of him was a vast forest, and looking up, he could see a flock of what looked like dragons flying. When he turned around, the door was gone, and the sea stretched out before him.
"**That door... is it a...**"
"**Don't say it.**"
"**...Yes.**"
"**Well, usually, that's what it would be. Anyway, Cain, you have the Appraisal skill, right? Use it on me. I've set it so you can see my stats.**"
Yuuya said to Cain. Cain had known that using Appraisal on people made them feel uncomfortable, so he hadn't used it. It was fine with monsters, but if he used it on people and they noticed, it was considered bad manners. Since Yuuya had given him permission, Cain used Appraisal.
He hadn't expected that Cain had become a god as well.
"**Cain, you understand now, right? This is a world I created.**"
"**Yes... I didn't expect to become a god...**"
"**That's how it is. As a divine being, you age but don't get old. It would be strange to remain king, so I abdicated to my child and now live here leisurely.**"
"**Why did you move to this world?**"
Cain didn't understand why he had moved to this world.
"**It's because the time axes are different. In this world, one year is only one day in your world.**"
"**So... the Spirit and Time...**"
"**Don't say it!**"
"**...Yes.**"
"**So, I've been a god in this world for nearly ten thousand years. It's fine to take it easy here. One year here is just one day there.**"
"**That's true. I can take it easy here.**"
"**For now, let's move to my house in this world. Hold on, we're going to teleport.**"
Yuuya said, placing his hand on Cain's shoulder.
**Teleport**
The scenery changed instantly, and they found themselves in front of a mansion several times larger than the house they had seen earlier. There were fields around the house, and it seemed he lived a self-sufficient life here.
"**I usually spend my time here. Come on in.**"
Yuuya opened the door and went inside. Cain followed him into the mansion.
The inside of the mansion was clean, even for someone living alone. Cain was led to the living room and sat on a sofa.
"**By the way, I was told by the Creator God Zenom to meet you...**"
"**That's what I thought... Actually, Cain, I was asked to train you.**"
"**I already have powers beyond human and have been saving people. Is it really necessary?**"
Yuuya leaned back on the sofa, looking far away.
"**Yes. Actually, the world you live in was originally ruled by eight gods. One of them was Aarun, the God of Games. However, his pranks went too far, and he was cast down to the earth by the old man Zenom. There, his mind became twisted, and he became an evil god.**"
"**An evil god...**"
"**Yes. Your world had almost no games, right? That's because the God of Games was absent.**"
Cain understood. Reversi, for example, had become so popular that it was now being exported to other countries. It was because the concept of games had been absent in the lives of the people.
"**Still, what kind of prank was it to be cast down to the earth...**"
"**...A worldwide death game where survival was at stake. He issued divine revelations to the upper echelons of each country, leading the entire world into war. Aarun's pranks went too far...**"
Cain understood that even the Creator God would be angry at that.
"**I've never seen records of such an evil god. What happened to Aarun?**"
"**I sealed Aarun three hundred years ago. That's why I was summoned. The gods sealed the memories of the people in this world. At that time, I didn't have the power to kill Aarun as a human, so I asked the old man for a way to seal him. The seal is about to be broken in a few years. If it is, the death game might start again. I want to prevent that.**"
"**Then, can't you just seal him again?**"
"**I'm also a Creator God in this world, and gods cannot interfere with the affairs of the earth in other worlds. That's why I need an apostle to act on my behalf.**"
"**So... you mean...**"
"**Cain, it's you. You were chosen by the old man to be his apostle. You need to do it. But with your current strength, you can't stand up to Aarun. That's why the old man asked me to train you. If you train in this world, you can gain hundreds of times more experience.**"
"**I understand. I have to do it, even if I have to complain to the gods later.**"
Cain made up his mind, straightened his back, and looked at Yuuya.
