The Special Mentor Chapter 5

Impossible .

That can't be .

I mean . . . . . . he and I are complete polar opposites .

The Calamitis I wrote about was a fearless, heartless asshole who cared not for morals . The words "Shame" and "Embarrassment" didn't even exist in his vocabulary .

Compared to him, I'm a cowardly daisy .

I'm a really nice person . (Although I do admit I'm a bit of a snob . ) I'm also lazy and introverted . Oh! and I can't forget! I'm DEATHLY afraid of spiders . Emphasis on the "Deathly" .

There's just no way!

Maybe this is a coincidence, right?

Right!

Okay, let's test this out . In my novel I had written that when Calamitis opened the shining door, he was met with a System message that asked if Calamitis wanted his freedom . He of course answered "Yes" and was then was asked if he was willing to be a teacher to Thomas Hark and Fur Charleston . Who are these two gentlemen you may ask? Why, they're the Protagonist and Antagonist of course!

If I am really Calamitis, and not some random smoke monster thingy which had coincidentally coincided with Calamitis's plot, then I should be asked to teach Thomas Hark and Fur Charleston . If I am not, I should be asked some other random question like, I don't know, do you wish to gain your freedom by turning into a donkey? Honestly any question is better than being here as long as I am not Calamitis .

Okay . . .

It's time for the moment of truth .

I slowly reached out my left hand and held the knob .

I took a a deep breath . I then slowly exhaled .

One . . .

Two . . .

Three . . .

GO!

I pushed open the door with all my force, making it slam open with a loud "BANG!"

. . .

. . .

. . .

Am I safe?

Just beyond the door is a completely white room .

I wasn't given a System message . . . . . . do I go in?

I lifted up my leg .

And at this moment, I decided to quote Neil Armstrong and say: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" .

Because honestly, the fate of mankind rests on who or what I really am .

. . .

I step into the room .

And then it came .

[Ding!]

[Hello, resident of the Corridor of Wandering Souls . I'm sure you've had enough time to reflect on your mistakes . That is why I will give you an opportunity . Do you want your freedom?]

OH! IT CAME!

"Yes, please . "

I decided to be polite for good measure .

[Well, isn't that refreshing? Well, dear resident . Are you willing to complete a task for me? Don't worry, it's an easy one . Even a toddler could do it . Would you please teach and raise two very important individuals for me? Their names are Thomas Hark and Fur Charleston . ]

（＊〇□〇） . . . !

. . .

This must be a prank, right?

I just got here . . . . . . am I really fated to destroy the world? I'm pretty sure that over time, this world will get to me and I'll want to keep it safe .

Another thing--I can't kill anyone . Yeah, sure, I think I can stomach killing a squirrel or something but a Human? Or Elf? Or Beast man?

NO WAY!

There is no way in hell that I'd be able to do that!

And besides, what if I meet up with Calamitis's father? He's going to beat the shit out of me because his asshole (and bad ass) son became a milk-drinking, blanket-hugging coward!

Just thinking about it makes me shiver with fear .

"No . " I decisively answered the System . I'd rather stay in this hell hole then experience the life of a world destroyer!

I was greeted with silence . Oddly enough, I didn't get another message . Neither did the door close on me like it should .

Did the System glitch out on me? Or is it still processing?

I waited for a few seconds before I attempted to step back into the Corridor of Wandering Souls .

That's right . I ATTEMPTED to step back .

But guess what happened?

You guessed it .

I can't move .

Not . An . Inch .

Urrrrrrrgghhhhhh . Move you damn foot!

Systemmmm!!! I know this is your doiiiiinnnggg!!! Why?!

I played a game of internal tug-of-war before I gave up .

"System?" I asked the white void . I didn't really expect an answer back .

[Could you please repeat your answer, o' resident of the Corridor of Wandering Souls?]

Oh shit .

Was the answer "No" just a fancy decoration?

That is just fucked up!

As a human, I have my rights! I'll get my lawyer on you System once I find one!

"Yes . "

Fine . I'll play your game . . .

. . until I think of a better plan .

You won't get away with this!

Because believe or not, I'm your Darth Vader!

I'M YOUR FATHERRRRRR!!!!!
