I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 98

Chapter 98
An Unusual Meal Can Cause Stomach Upset (2)

She began to reveal what she knew, one fact at a time. Lian piled up his questions, getting answers to his curiosities.

To summarize the long conversation:

Who are you?

– I am a loyal servant of ‘that one’ and a god from another world.

Where is this place?

This w as c o p i e d f r o m k ing m t l .o r g
– This is my mental space. It’s a place where I can manifest my powers strongly. Only your mind was brought here, similar to a dream state.

Why did you bring me here?

– … A colleague disappeared, and the trail ended here, so I wanted to investigate.

Which colleague?

T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m ki n g m t l.o r g
– Hamulina. But now, I don’t care anymore.

What was Hamulina’s purpose in approaching me?
T h i s w as c o pi e d f r o m ki ngmt l. o rg

At the last question, the creature—no, the god from another world—hesitated, sweating profusely under Lian’s intense stare, before spilling unnecessary details.

Gods from another world are those whose worlds were destroyed or who were expelled and thrown into the gaps between dimensions.

There are many types of these gods; some are good, and some are evil by human standards.

She was a god from another world but not of a high rank. Therefore, she served ‘that one’ as a servant.

The gods of this world made a foolish mistake, weakening the dimensional walls. Since a god’s power strengthens by possessing a world, ‘that one’ decided to conquer this world.

Other gods from another world also exist and are in a competitive relationship.

T h i s wa s co pi e d fro m k i n g m t l .o r g
Thus, as a servant of ‘that one,’ she considers gods from another world who do not serve ‘that one’ as enemies.

More antagonistic than those gods, however, are the gods of the Dark Fantasy world.

Even though this world had been ruined, it was still the world of a Dark Fantasy god. If he were to step in, things could get complicated.

Lian, possessing the power of a Dark Fantasy god, naturally became a target for all invading gods from another world.

Fortunately, the only gods from another world who had discovered Lian were her and Hamulina. As long as no other gods found him, the threat was minimal.

She hesitated briefly before revealing the real problem.

“The real problem?”

[ Since Hamulina was a loyal servant of ‘that one,’ she must have passed information about you to ‘that one.’ ]

“What? Does that mean…”

[ ‘That one’ will make a move. ]

Although she purposely didn’t reveal that ‘that one’ was a key figure in the Demon Lord’s army, Lian had already figured it out.

After all, he knew that Potensian, who had worked with Hamulina, was one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

‘At first, I didn’t recognize him because he looked different…’

In the original work, Potensian looked more like a merman than a human. It wasn’t until later, when he had more leisure, that he noticed Potensian’s weapon and distinctive speech pattern matched those of the Four Heavenly Kings in the original.

‘In conclusion, the Demon Lord’s army will be targeting me.’

The situation was more severe than he had anticipated. While the Demon Lord’s army itself didn’t scare him, Lian had seen regions crumble after opposing him.

His concern was for others.

‘…Others might get caught up in this.’

No matter how much power Noah held in Cardishian, they were still in the Demon Lord’s territory. Danger could come from anywhere at any time.

‘If I escape alone… No, I can’t guarantee they will only target me.’
T h is w a s c o p ied f rom k i n g mt l . o r g

Noah, Iris, and Jess, who would eventually join the Hero’s party, were all part of Nest. Even if they didn’t show their Heroic traits now, they would eventually shine like needles in a bag.

When that time came, they would inevitably catch the Demon Lord’s army’s attention, leading them to either join the army or be killed. Even if they survived, they wouldn’t remain unscathed.

T h i s wa s c o p i ed f r om k i n g m tl . o r g
‘I haven’t found the Duke’s knight yet, but…’

Lian made a firm decision with a resolute face.

‘We need to escape from Cardishian, no, from the Demon Lord’s territory with everyone.’

As his thoughts settled, his narrowed vision widened again. The mascot-like god from another world glanced nervously at Lian.

‘Considering it wanted to target me and it’s a god from another world, I should deal with it here. But… I have no means to do so.’

Lian looked down at his hand. The mark was there, but calling for Gargandoa yielded nothing.

It seemed this space was unique in some way.

‘Grr, I need to leave and start planning our escape from the Demon Lord’s territory as soon as possible.’

Unable to come up with a satisfactory answer after some thought, Lian addressed the god from another world with a ‘whatever!’ attitude.

“How do I get out of here?”

[ You can go that way. ]

The god pointed with its stubby arm. There was something dark and swirling, resembling a portal to another place.

[ Entering there should wake you up. ]

“…Why are you telling me so readily?”

[ Ugh! It’s your fault I ended up like this! If I weren’t in this form, I would have banished you myself…! ]

As the god fumed again, Lian instinctively started shaking it up and down. The god’s eyes spun from the shaking.

After letting go of the dazed god, Lian moved toward the portal. As he thought about heading there, his body moved on its own.

[ Huuh… ]

“Then I’ll be going. Try to live kindly if possible.”
T h i s w a s c opi e d f ro m k i ng m t l .or g

With those words, Lian hurriedly threw himself into the portal. Since mental worlds often had different time flows from reality, he was in a rush.

As Lian disappeared beyond the portal, the god, floating limply in the dark space, suddenly burst into laughter.

[ Keh heh! Foolish human! ]

As Lian vanished, the god gradually regained its original form. If a human saw the god with their own eyes, they would gouge them out due to its otherworldly form.

The cute voice of a child morphed into a bizarre mix of female and male, young and old voices.

The god, feeling its body reverting to normal, looked towards the portal.

[ Heh, I’ll savor this. ]

The portal Lian jumped into wasn’t a portal to reality. There was no such portal to reality. To return to reality, Lian would have had to kill the god. That’s the kind of space this was.

With a light gesture from the god, the portal vanished. Lian, now inside the god, couldn’t escape.

[ Despair in the infinite darkness and crumble, becoming my nourishment. ]

The god’s interior was an endless darkness that would drive one to madness and eventually shatter their soul.

Most humans couldn’t endure it for even a second, but the god clearly felt Lian’s presence inside.

Th i s wa s copi ed f r o m k i n g m t l . o rg
[ So, what despair will you feed me? ]

As the god drooled in anticipation of the impending feast,

Pooof!

[ Huh? ]

Her stomach tore open, and something popped out. She looked at what could be called her stomach. There was a ▉.

▉ began to move.

▉ tore her belly apart.

▉ began to rip her to pieces.

Gulp.

▉ devoured her.

“Hunyangnyang, nyangnyang punch…”

On a soft bed, a 170cm dakikuma was lying. In the middle, the god of the gag world, wearing pajamas and a bunny-eared sleep mask, was sleep talking.

“Nyangnyang… delicious… hic…”

She let out a small burp while sleep talking. Still asleep, she didn’t notice.

***

Chirp, chirp.

“Ah.”

Lian’s eyes snapped open as he woke. Sitting up abruptly, he saw the sun rising outside.

“How long have I… ahem, ahem. How long have I been asleep?”

His head felt fuzzy, but unlike when he had slept for a week, he felt refreshed. This time, it didn’t seem he had slept too long. Fortunately.

After staring blankly out the window, he shook his head vigorously.

‘Now’s not the time. I need to start preparing to leave this land.’
T h i s w a s co p i e d fr o m k i n g mt l.o r g

Filled with determination, Lian jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. After a thorough wash, he went straight to the desk in his room. Sitting down, he spread out some paper and picked up a pen.

‘Considering it’s been three years since I arrived here, it wouldn’t be strange if the knight has reached Cardishian by now.’

Lian had often asked Noah to check for the knight’s presence. Knowing his name and appearance, asking Noah to investigate wasn’t difficult.

The results were always the same—’Not found.’

Realizing that searching blindly could result in missing the knight, Lian used his knowledge of the original story to predict when the knight would arrive. This year was that time.

‘Since it’s about time for the knight to arrive, I need to investigate whether the knight has reached Cardishian, and select who will leave with me. I also need to prepare food and supplies accordingly.’

Lian didn’t plan to take all the members of the organization out of the Demon Lord’s territory. While the officers might come, many ordinary members viewed criminal activity lightly.

Growing up in a land with no moral standards made this more pronounced. He needed to filter out those who didn’t want to leave the Demon Lord’s territory.

‘And…’

Lian methodically organized his plans. As if the world were cheering him on,

“Hyung! Noah has returned!”

Just in time, Noah returned from her trial.
