Chapter 3: Okay, The Apocalypse Might Be My Fault
Leon was grateful to the world for not sending him into that dungeon again, as he slept soundly through the night without incident. But he didn’t exactly have the mood to interact with people yet, so he decided to call in sick for the day.
Fortunately, the previous Leon had been a hardworking student and was also at the top of his class... at least theory-wise, so the leave was granted without much issue.
’Looks like my intelligence followed me here.’
One thing Leon had always been proud of was his insatiable curiosity for the unknown and the intelligence to back it up. Of course, that intelligence only came in handy for theory-related things.
That same drive and knowledge were how he had managed to create the entire game by himself in the first place. His friends had only joined in the later stages when they realized there was actual potential in what he was building.
Before that, it had been just him—one man, one project, and a dream stitched together with caffeine and despair.
Leon spent the entire morning adjusting to the fact that he was now living in a world completely different from the one he’d grown up in and, surprisingly, it wasn’t that hard.
After all, it wasn’t like he had strong emotional ties to his previous life. No family he was close to. No friends he still hung out with. He had already planned to travel the world alone anyway. So waking up in a new one—especially a world he had personally designed—wasn’t something that scared him too much.
In fact, it felt oddly fitting.
Though admittedly, the real motivation behind his current stability of mind came from the idea that he could now meet the very characters he’d created, the female leads who had once only existed in concept art and animations.
Just the thought of building a harem with them was keeping his sanity from cracking.
After all, his reincarnation wasn’t exactly peaceful or pleasant. The very first day had killed him and dumped more pain on his soul than he had ever experienced back on Earth.
