the maid said she ran hell, D runs the world. Given her penchant for systems and game-like logic D likely means something more like Deus Ex Machina(God in the Machine).

well yes, but why? why must the cycle continue? what purpose necessitates its existence? Why does the clock need to keep ticking, who or what is trying to tell the time?

I mean, an event along the lines of nuclear armageddon would terrify anyone who’s unlucky enough to survive it.

Okay so the whole system is built to find a successor to the title of <Big Brother>, but why? What is so important that there needs to be a big brother, and that said big brother needs successors?

Anyone would get tired of that sort of position eventually but the position needs to be upheld for some reason, thus the need for succession. But what does the position do other than self perpetuate? Whats the point of a job that only exists to keep itself going?

So crab bucket mentality. Thats your big tragic backstory. Bro stfu.

this is what you get for never asking questions despite being a fucking mage who's power source is your knowledge.

The rune nerd here again.

The runes in this chapter have no actual translation its just a loreum ipsum script to give the runes a flow.

Yes and no. The skill merely grants him knowledge, deciphering it and making use of it is up to him.

Sorta in the same way as being able to read vs converse in a language. Just because he knows the words doesn’t mean he can hold a conversation.

the latter statement is correct. he collected fragments of the ancient gods but not their cores. But if the dragon pets can be classified as "human" with his skill, presumably they should be capable of succeeding the ancient gods too.

Because they couldn’t logically give them a gun in Korea, but the plot demanded a ranged attacker to get past MC.

she was the original villainess of this world right. so by that standard her aptitude for demons should be quite high.

i honestly forgot this existed. given the pacing its probably gonna be a slow burn, but there might be a speed up or timeskip in a bit after they get the introductory stuff out of the way. either way, on to their first quest/combat.

all this plan is really doing is taking the power and giving it to someone else, it doesn't really make the problem go away, just puts the responsibility for it on other peoples shoulders.

why not have one person absorb multiple origins instead, making the conflict lessen as its between fewer people eventually being just one being with all of the origins, ceasing the fighting completely? this method will probably also lead to an apocalypse a couple more times, but there is an eventual end at least instead of continual perpetuation.

I don't think he cares.
As much as you're a total bitch who deserves to feel this level of guilt and remorse I truly believe that he doesn't really give a shit about an "embarrassing" video from when he was being abused by you. he's moved on. The only thing that video will show the world is how terrible of a person you were to him for all those years.

Oh, just a kraken. Given the fact that they've already brought elder gods into this, I thought it would be Dagon or Cthulhu.

a fair idea, but does he have the time and energy to pull that off? From what we've been shown he can only make one person a familiar at a time. And in the time that takes many will likely flee and tell the world at large of his vampiric nature, thus also ruining his efforts up to this point.

This is an international event. If he killed everyone, he'd need to either fake his own death, or be known as the sole survivor. Either way his reputation would be ruined and all his effort to this point would be for naught. Instead just let Dihrt make the first move and kill him in retaliation, make justification for the kill.

Agreed. If you’re gonna make a show to market your game, at least have the show follow the rules of your game.

its as good a way as any. and honestly the timings about right too.
