Voice of God P.O.V.
==========================

I open my eyes and look around me. The everlasting darkness stretches everywhere. Nothing is within sight.

While lying in this void of nothingness, many events and thoughts process inside my mind, allowing me to witness every small scene and detail occurring around the world. This is due to my skills,〖God's Eye View〗and〖Multi-Parallel Thoughts〗.

Despite looking everywhere in this whole world, I can't seem to find anyone or anything interesting. They're all doing completely boring things. No, it might just be because of my extremely long lifespan, or perhaps it's just me looking for something interesting to sate my boredom that I'm feeling this way.

"Let's face it, the most interesting thing that I have my attention right now is that newborn......"

I am currently watching over a small dragon that's staring at its own reflection in a lake and pondering about stuff. It just recently evolved from a〖Dragon Egg〗to a〖Baby Dragon〗. It must be very confused after just being born.

No matter how you look at it, that newborn somehow regained its memories before it could complete the cycle of reincarnation, and it even lost the〖Demon King〗title that it was supposed to have.

This was supposed to be the setup made by the Dragon King, who was supposed to die 500 years ago, where he would have the〖Son of the Dragon King〗become the perfect vessel for the new〖Demon King〗, but until now, I still don't understand why the title skill isn't there.

When I first noticed it gone, I was really left scratching my head over it.

But, if I'm being honest, the fact that he contains memories outside of the reincarnation cycle intrigues me. As a result of my efforts to outwit the inflexible system of the world, which is that idiot Laplace, I was able to fix a few rough bugs and errors that were slowly becoming a major issue.

It's most likely due to its fresh and unpolished memory that the newborn dragon is doubting my words. Just when I was trying to guide him to not do unnecessary things, he would choose to do the strangest acts and end up disconnecting my link with him.

That really surprised me. It's been so long since someone didn't pick the〖Little Dragon〗evolution, probably several hundred years, my guidance wasn't needed at all. I surely did not anticipate that.

I was able to manipulate many humans and monsters who have the〖God's Voice〗skill using Laplace's system, allowing me to reveal what their true nature is under false guidance. But, to think that someone who I can't bend to my will has appeared. Every time I try to offer him my "guidance", he would always reject my connection, making it harder to make him move however I want. This is a first for me, I can't hold my excitement.

It's been a really long while since I've had this much fun. Things will get interesting from now on. I spent the first thousand years as a good god. But, I soon grew tired of it. I spent the following 2000 years as an evil god. And in the next 3000 years, I chose to refrain from interfering with the world and stayed silent. And so on, and so forth...... the millenia would repeat and I got bored of everything. Anything I try to do now would always end as I predicted, it's no fun anymore.

But now, I get the feeling that dragon is about to bring an interesting change to this boring world. It sounds ridiculous at first, but I can't hide my excitement. I've waited too long for my long-awaited plan to commence, and at some point, I thought it would never come to pass, but I'm positive that he will be the catalyst to set it into motion.

"I chose not to change your evolution tree since I didn't want to give you any special exception, so I only rearranged a few words here and there...... and, it looks like I wasn't wrong about choosing you. I'm expecting great things from you. Fufu, don't let me down now. Your battles have just begun. My cute little walking egg"

While muttering to myself that, I continue to monitor the world for any events that will revolve around this dragon whom I placed my expectations to.

―― A few days have passed since the dragon hatched.

"What the fu-......"

I covered my mouth and tried my best to not scream as much as I could. This dragon is rather, no, this dragon is very gullible and prone to danger. In these last few days, there have been many instances when a monster was about to eat him alive.

I know that those kinds of accidents are quite common in that world. And usually, I'd just say "Aah, how unfortunate, but sadly, this is all you've got", however, this dragon is a special case who came from outside the rebirth cycle and is the first one to do so in these past thousand years. I don't want to lose such a valued specimen so soon.

I was anxious every time I watch him fight, and I'd feel relieved whenever he comes out the victor, or at least as a survivor. I wonder when was the last time I felt this way before.

But, if he does die by some stroke of fate, then it can't be helped. That only means that was the limit of his potential. Those who die will remain dead, and those who live will keep on living until their own time comes. Whether you're lucky or well-prepared, it matters not.

If I say they're going to die, they will definitely die sooner or later, just as I predicted. If ever this special case is somehow unable to overcome the hardships before him, then I'll have no further interest in him any longer. Therefore, if he ever dies in battle, it would just fall to "it was within my expectation".

That's why, when he stumbled against those adventurers at first, I honestly thought he was done for.

But instead, I was surprised when he chose to save the village girl and took her back home despite being attacked by her party. I wonder why...... his actions showed no ill-will at all .

There are times when he showed complete stupidity and ended up abusing the system by giving him ridiculous titles and even teasing me about it.

Was he always like that? It's not like me to say this, but I actually enjoy his reactions to his own skills.

How long has it been since I became interested in one individual now. Since he's an irreplaceable special case, merely watching over him fills me with anticipation, or is it just his otherworldly personality that I find intriguing? At times, he's silly, but he can be perceptive on things, and when push comes to shove, he displays a gutsy spirit...... although, now that I think about it, I may just be giving him too much praise.

I've gotten too interested in him lately. Most of my attention is often towards this special child that I tend to neglect monitoring everything else. Even though, with my skill, I could easily connect to a thousand thoughts at once.

While switching screens in my mind, I let out an elongated sigh and stretch my hands. I swing my neck back and forth. And, whenever I think about that dragon, laughter keeps welling up inside me.

"Well...... whether he manages to live on, or whatever evolution he picks, as long as I gather data, he's no exception from my grand reset"

My large-scale plan won't happen anytime soon yet. What I only want is for my pieces to move accordingly to the data plan that I've set. And by that, I'm talking about the survivors who have lost their potential and have reached a deadend.

I feel bad for the world that I'm currently playing around with just because I obtained the power to do so, but I feel more bad for gaining access to the authority that allows me to interfere with Laplace's systems. When the human-monster war begins, so will my plan.

This world is my toy. The sea, the land, the countries, the architecture, the humans, the monsters, everything is my toy. After I've had my fun, I can break it apart and reset as many times as I like.

I meet eyes with the dragon. It's just a coincidence, no need to be surprised over that. The dragon just happened to look at the sky, that's all.

【"Hey〖God's Voice〗, just what the heck are you?!"】

He follows it up by asking me a question. Nothing surprising there. There have been times when others met eyes with me too. It's not strange to assume that God is up in a high place, isn't it? No need to answer back. I'll just leave it to Laplace and give him the usual reply like the others.

【〖God's Voice: Lv3〗cannot provide that explanation.】
