Day after day, when the sun rises, the monster wields its stick and beats me to death, and when night falls, I am freed. Initially, I was attacking the bed, but there was no room for him to do anything but instill useless pain in me.

I'm on the verge of a breakdown, my mind is so worn out that I have no desire to resist him. Nowadays, I am obediently following his torture, which is nothing more than a training exercise.

Kai Heinemann, who is that? To begin with, the vessel of strength itself is different from that of Ghirimekara. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one. It's no longer even a match. That's right. That desperate feeling is equivalent to the one I had when I was facing my master, Mara-sama.

This labyrinth, God's Ordeal, is the gateway to becoming a great god representing the mythical system, where talented gods who meet the requirements risk their lives and pride. If they fail to clear the game, they will perish, and if they clear the game, they will be guaranteed to become a great god. It is such a crazy ordeal. 

In other words, this game is only for the purpose of gaining the power to become a great god. If you're already as powerful as the Big God, you'll be able to defeat that guy at the end of this dungeon. If so, then Kai Heinemann's actions are a bit inconsistent.

Here, there are two ways to clear this dungeon. The first is the regular route that takes you down each level. In this route, all you have to do is make that guy at the farthest end say he's passed and you don't necessarily have to win.

The other route is to use your access code as a god to challenge the final trial and bring that guy at the bottom to his knees. That guy in the innermost part of the room is unpleasantly powerful among the gods. Normally, it's best to take the legitimate route and use the access code, which is a fool's errand. However, Kai Heinemann should have enough power to bring him to his knees, and that's not the case.

This rule should be the most important information given in advance to all gods with the right to challenge. In short. There is not much point in Kai Heinemann taking on this dungeon.

The same question was reached when the morning sun lit up the surrounding area with an egregious glow and Kai Heinemann emerged from a small wooden building.

"Get up!

Shouting loudly.

"Yessir!

He jumps up, as if on a springboard, and straightens up and puts his right hand on his forehead.

"Hey, what are you?

"Ha! I am a groundhog!

I respond as I am told, which has become a daily routine these days. These words, which at first felt humiliating, now come out of my mouth with nothing but a strange willingness to say them.

Hmm, well done to you for the past thirty years, you've done well for a soft and gutless man. From this day forward, you've graduated from being a worthless trash beetle to being a warrior.

"Ha! Oh, thank God, I'm so happy!

I don't know why. My voice trembles. And are these tears? The hot liquid running down your cheeks was trickling down to the ground.

As you shudder at the unexplainable rage swirling within you, Kai Heinemann lifted the corners of his mouth and

Girimekara, I have a reward for you, warrior. What world do you hope for?

He asked something unintelligible.

'Are you in the world?'

Yeah, that's right. That's what this picture book seems to be all about.

"What's in it for me: ......

What. There is no hope. Then let's just go to that other land with the elephant creature from the book.

When Kai Heinemann muttered to himself, Gili Mekara's vision distorted into a gnarled mess.

And there is a nostalgic view of his hometown. And on the plain in front of me, a palace-like building rises majestically.

'This, this is ......'

Raptures. There is no word that more aptly describes the sentiments of Gili Mekara right now.

Can Kai Heinemann create the world? No, it should be a miracle that only a limited number of people, even the great gods, can perform. At the very least, it should be absolutely impossible to create such an endlessly invisible world.

And then the vision distorts again, and Gili Mekara is in front of Kai Heinemann.

How do you like it? Do you like that?

"Since you made the world by your power?

No, what you just saw was the world created by this picture book that was unearthed in the dungeon. It's not my power.

It's not possible. This dungeon is only a trial of cultivating the Great God, not something beyond that. No matter how you look at it, the items in this dungeon should not be able to achieve that insane landscape.

But I'll put it to the significance of Kai Heinemann's false statements. If so, it's probably true that the book is the cause.

Conceivably, the item itself was transformed by Kai Heinemann's possession.

What an existence. He already possesses a power comparable to that of a great god, and even the power of world creation. I've never heard of anyone with this kind of power. That's why I wanted to ask him something I had been wondering about for a long time.

What are you trying to accomplish in this dungeon?

For Kai Heinemann, clearing this dungeon is not even an obstacle. So why dare to walk the regular route of this dungeon without clearing it? That's what Gili Mekara really wanted to know at this time.

''Hmmm, it'll get stronger.

This response from Kai Heinemann was something Gili Mekara hadn't even expected.

'Hey, you think you can be stronger than you are?

Can you be more than you are now? Do you really think so, while already gaining power comparable to the Great God? It's too greedy and out-of-the-ordinary thinking.

Of course. I'm still inexperienced. I've been lucky enough to get a pair of ability-limiting gloves recently. This will limit my abilities and give me a more severe and thrilling struggle.

Crazy. No doubt. This being in front of me, the screws on my head are flying off perfectly. I've never seen such a god before. But it is so gracefully out of order that Gili Mekara realizes he has an unbelievable longing for it.

(I see. So that's why I was crying earlier.

At last you understand your inner thoughts, and all your doubts, confusions, doubts, and even your former loyalty to the Lord are blown away and replaced by an intense and irresistible faith in the existence before you.

So--

"To you, trash beetle, from now on I swear absolute loyalty.

Girimekara knelt to the earth and uttered a vow from his soul in the name first given to him by the Supreme Lord.
