In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 5: Start

I kept it once more, and thought to myself, while moving upwards through the slope..

I was now more than sure that this was not a dream, so it's no use trying to think like that. I almost got killed yesterday if I had made a single mistake. If this is really a game-like world, I had to know more about it to survive.

If I somehow find a way home, I'll think about what I should do then. But for now, let's find some people to talk to.

I wasn't a shut-in after all. No matter how much I loved games, I still needed human communication.

While getting my plans organized in my head, I set off north once more..

A few hours after Kyouya left, on a cliff overlooking the grasslands..

"I'm sorry, Phoenix, I couldn't save you even now. It would affect the timeline after all. So please let me off with just this.."

Standing on the edge of the steep cliff, was a tall, confident, middle-aged man with silver hair, with black tips on each strand. He looked as if he had years of life experience with scars and strange black marks on his neck, leading all the way to his back. He was wearing an overbearing black tuxedo suit, with a mantle fluttering in the wind.

With a confident gaze, and a wide smile, he said..

"<<Random>>"

The heavens themselves might have shook from the keyword, activating his trademark skill.

But before it fully activated, he said something else..

"Let the rainfall cleanse this land"

Dark, heavy rain clouds suddenly gathered out of nowhere, and filled the large crater with water in an instant.

"Oh, the crack is still there.. Let's see.."

The man gathered mana from his surroundings and said another string of words..

"The laws of the world itself, bend to my transcendent will, <<Recreation>>"

With a snap, the crack-like gorge slope reverted back to the lush, green plains it was before.

"I always wondered who turned this place into a lake, turns out it was actually myself. *Chuckle*"

A hearty laugh was heard from the man who just did an amazing thing in seconds without breaking a sweat.
