"Knock him out" Asuka ordered coldly.

"B-but.."

"Hurry up. We don't have enough time"

With a sigh, John knocked out the pair of man and woman unconscious on the back of their neck skillfully.

'My lord, please forgive me'

His prayer didn't go unnoticed by Asuka but she just ignored him. The man was oblivious to the crime he was creating which is called robbery. Asuka was sure he only felt bad because he had to hit someone since this world is created by her enemy.

"Let's take off their clothes. I think it'd fit us well"

Currently they're robbing the stewardess and the pilot off their everything. Asuka had John go through their memories and made him learn how to drive a plane.

Because they are going to steal it.

When they get to a foreign country, it doesn't matter even if they get sued.

Asuka dyed her hair into blonde and cut it above her shoulders. With John's telekinesis power, they stole the cop's gun, some rich looking man's fancy car and visa card after going through his memories to see the code.

Now they've money, fake identity and a car. Though once they leave, it'll be useless. But nonetheless, having some power was satisfying.

"Ho, that's a private jet"

(A/n: Is this private jet or plane? I'm confused..)

With their identical clothes, they easily passed the obstacles such as security with an excuse that they forgot something. In real life, it might've been bit harder but since it's a fictional world, almost everyone turned a blind eye on them. As if stopping them isn't included in their role.

'It's indeed a fake world'

She has never noticed how people in this world looked so dead, like a lifeless dolls. Their expression may look happy but their eyes tells otherwise.

Basically they are just a background, fodders for the game.

"You learned how to drive this thing right?" she asked again with slight hesitation. She has never been in a plane before.

"Of course. You can trust me"

Honestly, even if she has enough money, without John, escaping wouldn't be possible. She even saw few suspicious looking man at the airport with her photo, talking to passerby's. Her stalkers also put a bounty on her head. Now the entire country is searching for her.

If only John could move larger objects.. it could've been possible to even fly with car if. But him controlling smaller object is already a miracle so Asuka didn't dare to complain.

"By the way, can you stop a bullet with your power?"

"Nope" John answered, still too focused on the memories of unknown man swirling in his head. He was trying to learn everything from the beginning, for safety measures.

Noticing his serious expression, she didn't ask further. She waited, waited and waited, until she lost her patient and opened her mouth to speak again.

"Aren't we gonna go or not?"

She was scared of the yanderes popping out of nowhere like before. The anxiety grew stronger when John's cheerful face looked troubled for the first time.

"I suddenly can't see the details of his memories. Something is blocking my powers"

At first she thought he was talking nonsense like those fake prophets she saw on TV. But after a few minutes of observing him, she realized how dire the situation was.

"System"

"It's strange. The system is still not working. Why would your powers be blocked then?" Asuka asked, obviously confused. John once told her that if the system gets fixed, he won't be able to use his powers, because he's an outsider to the world.

So why'd he suddenly lose his power at the most important moment?

"We've to get out of here" she suddenly said and started collecting her things.

"What? Why?"

"Intuition. Let's go hide somewhere until your power returns. Nothing good would happen by staying here"

Speechless, John just followed after her. She was right. It'll be difficult to escape if they were to get caught in here.

Unexpectedly, when they stepped outside, an unknown man was standing there with a wide grin. He was as tall as John and was wearing the uniform of Asuka's school.

Clap, clap, clap..

Something about him felt incredibly creepy. Even though he was just standing there, clapping his hands with a smile, Asuka felt terrified of him for some reason.

Seeing him, John suddenly pulled her back and stood protectively in front of Asuka.

"You impudent disgusting creature! What're you doing here?!"

From his words alone, she can roughly guess who it was.

The creater of this world, cause of all the sh*tty things she went through, aka the .

It's also called but the actual gods never acknowledged that fact because all they create is fake world based on the souls the real gods created, time loops and trouble. They're more like a troublesome children with lot of power than gods or angels.

"A little follower of a powerful god, taking human's side. How cute" He licked his lips then turned his gaze towards the girl behind him. "Unfortunately, I don't really like such pure souls. I like the human behind you better"

For a moment his eyes shone with strange red color which didn't go unnoticed by the two of them.

"As if I'll give her to you. The God of Judgment won't let your actions pass..."

"Yeah, yeah, you followers are all the same, saying the same boring stuff, repeating god this and god that.. It really annoys me. Also, in this place, I'm the god. I can get rid of the likes of you with just snap of my fingers so don't ever mention those self-proclaimed bastards in front of me"

Asuka couldn't stop trembling in his presence. It was like she was in front of a starved lion, separated by only thin fragile glass that'd disappear the moment it's touched.

She didn't want him to kill John. He probably won't die since he's immortal but he won't be able to return back to her.

She'll be left alone, once again.

Therefore she needs to do something to move his attention away from him.

"Dark angel was it?"

Her attempt to look strong didn't go well as her knees were shaking like crazy, warning her to run far, far away from the horrifying creature. But still she stepped in front of John to cover him from the dark angel's hostile energy.

"Oh, so it speaks. You look much more interesting than the other human. And smells delicious too~"

"Were you pretending to be student all this time? Why didn't you just eat me?"

"Student? Oh, are you talking about the owner of this body? He looks delicious right? And to answer your last question, it's because I want to cook you well first before eating you" he licked his lips again, his eyes staring right towards her as if she was his favorite type of steak.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, making it taste even moooore delicious~ I learned that humans always add various type of strange stuff into their food to make it taste better. I want to do the same thing. Your soul itself isn't bad. It lacks sympathy, and is very lonely. If I just make you suffer a bit more, it'll be perfect!"

Lacks sympathy and lonely?

'I literally sacrificed my life to save an unknown kid. And he's saying that I lack sympathy?'

"Then did you make me go through all that just to uhh,.. make me taste better?"

"Well, yes and no. At first, I didn't really have a chance but to follow the rules of the.. what was it called again?.. ah right, system!. But finally I got the control back! And now that I think about it, this world only made you tastier so I don't really mind losing control few more years again"

"..."

She couldn't believe her ears for a moment.

"John, is he..."

Like reading her mind, he immediately answered.

"Right. He's the one who inactivated the system"

'Then isn't it literally a check-mate for me?'

This strange thing who wants to eat her is a god. If he can even interrupt the system then there'd be nothing he can't do. Without system there's no protection from him anyway.

Originally their plan was to simply avoid the capture targets and if in case the system got fixed, Asuka was sure it'll immediately reach a bad ending. Thus she concluded that as long as she stays out of radar, the system won't search for her since she still hasn't discovered the hidden capture target and will have no minor tasks left because she reached a bad ending.

The game might offer her to open a new route but as a person who has dealt with most of the capture targets, she was confident that she'd reach a good ending. She can just wait for a bit until the god, who is responsible for all of this returns and helps her.

But all of those plans are useless now.

It's obvious that the was waiting for the perfect moment to approach them.

He knew they had no chance to escape the moment he took control over the system.

Asuka can see the man widening his grin while taking a deep breath. No, it felt more like he was smelling something from the air like a hungry beast.

"Fear and despair... It really makes you smell even better..! I don't think I can endure this hunger any longer. However, I know you can get even tastier. So let's bring your little friends here to help you out!"

With flick of his finger, a bright light appeared, almost blinding the two. When the light disappeared their eyes slowly got adjusted and when they opened their eyes, there were three figure standing with their eyes closed as if they also had no clue about what was happening.

Obviously they are the capture targets, Usato, Sakura and Kazuma. Seeing them at one place scared Asuka even more.

"What the hell?"

"Where is this?..... Wait, Yoshino-chan? Is that really you?!" Sakura was the first one to notice Asuka despite her new hair color and clothes.

In fear, Asuka snatched the gun from John which was hidden underneath his shirt and aimed it towards the .

"No human, that won't.."

Bang!!!
