Chapter 3: When I Unintentionally Began a Religion, They Won't Leave Me Alone

  The following morning, there was complete chaos when I woke up.

  Not in my room. My room was all right. However, my ptop?

  More than 999 messages remain unread.

  Oh no.

  Before clicking the forum, I paused.

  Username: High Priest Eldrin

  "Pardon us, Great One! You have been let down by us!"

  Username: Sir Gareth the Brave

  "We respectfully accept any punishment you deem appropriate!"

  Username: Lady Mirabelle

  "Please, protect us from the anger of God!"

  What the hell?

  They were already pleading for forgiveness when I had done absolutely nothing?

  I typed with a sigh.

  Username: Yuuto

  “…This time, what did you guys do?"

  A pause. Then—

  Username: High Priest Eldrin

  "Oh Great One, our holy mission is over!"

  Username: Sir Gareth the Brave

  "Cheers! Every vilge has successfully received the Holy Toast!

  I blinked.

  Username: Yuuto

  "What?"

  Username: Lady Mirabelle

  "People are now aware of your delicious breakfast! Now, every home honors you by burning their bread!

  My head smmed into my desk.

  Toast was actually invented by these madmen because I had mentioned eating it yesterday, not because it was a good idea.

  They continued after that.

  Username: High Priest Eldrin

  "The first Grand Temple of the Great One has also been built by us!"

  I sat up so fast that my chair almost fell over.

  Username: Yuuto

  "What did you build?"

  Username: Sir Gareth the Brave

  "Obviously, a temple! A location where people can properly worship you!

  Username: Lady Mirabelle

  Username: Lady Mirabelle

  "A huge golden statue of you holding the Holy Toast was even created by us!"

  My soul left my body.

  They had actually constructed a temple in my honor, in addition to the fact that I had unintentionally founded a religion.

  They were already creating golden statues of me holding a piece of toast after I had only been their "god" for two days.

  How did I live?

  I inhaled deeply. They might stop if I pyed it down.

  Username: Yuuto

  "You guys really didn't need to do all that"

  Username: High Priest Eldrin

  "That's absurd! Honoring the Great One is our responsibility!"

  Username: Sir Gareth the Brave

  "We even recite your holy words during our daily prayer sessions!"

  Username: Yuuto

  "...I have holy words?"

  Username: Lady Mirabelle

  "Yes! "Have you attempted to turn it on and off once more?"

  I nearly let out a scream.

  My tech support advice had been transformed into a religious chant by them.

  It was already in my mind. Standing in a circle, a group of medieval knights solemnly recite the holy IT troubleshooting technique like monks.

  This was incredibly foolish.

  Another message appeared before I could reply.

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  “Yo.”

  I let out a groan. Not him again.

  Username: Yuuto

  “…What do you want now?”

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  "All right, so you know how I got trapped beneath the debris?"

  Username: Yuuto

  “Yeah?”

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  "Well, your suggestion was successful. I was able to dig myself out."

  Username: Yuuto

  "Well done."

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  "But I have a bigger problem now."

  I gave a sigh. Why was I always this guy's tech support?

  Username: Yuuto

  "What is it this time?"

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  "Well, the heroes took all of my belongings, my fortress is gone, and I lost my whole evil army."

  Username: Yuuto

  "It seems like a personal issue."

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  "Yes, indeed. In any case, I was considering Could I work for you since you're a god or something?"

  I gasped for breath.

  Lord Dark. The big bad bad guy. desired to work for me.

  Username: Yuuto

  “EXCUSE ME??”

  Username: The Dark Lord Makar

  "Consider it. I've held leadership positions before. I'm very good at giving evil speeches. Additionally, I already respect your IT expertise."

  I covered my face with my hands.

  A Dark Lord wanted to switch careers and work for me after I unintentionally destroyed his empire.

  I did not anticipate my life turning out this way.

  Another message appeared before I could type a reply.

  Username: High Priest Eldrin

  "Oh, the Great One! A new follower asks for your heavenly direction?

  Username: Sir Gareth the Brave

  "He will be accepted into our sacred order!"

  Username: Lady Mirabelle

  "The Dark Lord will now propagate the idea of "turning it off and on again!"

  I closed my ptop with a sm.

  I needed a rest.
