The Special Mentor Chapter 7

I waited patiently as the little mouse before me continued to stare at me . To be honest, I was enjoying this moment . It's not every day that I get to see someone so cute . (Although I would probably run away if he was in his Human form . )

Finally, the little guy snapped out of his stupor .

"Oh, hello there mister, I'm Miceter! Sorry to intrude, but can I stay over for the night? It's been a real hassle to find a good spot, you see, and I was hoping to catch up on some rest before I part once more . "

"No Problem . " I quickly replied .

Yes!

I give myself an imaginary fist pump .

Thank you, Miceter, for not being afraid of your natural enemy .

. . .

Wait a fat second . . .

. . . Miceter?

AdvertisementThat fat mouse I wrote about in "Every Cold Winter" who ended up annihilating the Prosperous Kingdom off the face of the planet?

That Miceter?

He looks nothing like 'im .

The Miceter I wrote about was as fat as a melon and as big as a leopard . Not to mention, his fur was a mixture of black, green, and orange . This Miceter looks . . .

. . . normal?

Was the name "Miceter" a fairly popular name in Forgoe? I don't remember writing about that detail in "Every Cold Winter" . . .

Hmm . . .

Maybe it's a coincidence?

Or perhaps it's not?

I mean, all of the other coincidences that I thought was a coincidence ended up becoming reality, so . . .

Ugh, this is hurting my head .

I'll wait and see . Eavesdropping on a few conversations might help . Perhaps that way I can pick up some clues .

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" Miceter snapped me out of my thoughts with this seemingly innocent question .

Oh crap .

I didn't think about that .

Who or what should I refer to myself as?

I can't go with "Calamitis" because the Gods are always listening and I can't risk Papa Calamity comin' over and whoopin' my ass .

Neither can I use my own name, because then my cover would be blown .

Why would it be blown, you may ask?

Remember that planned spin-off I talked about earlier?

You know, that horrible transmigration, book-wrecking story?

Yeah--that one .

Oh, and remember the System Rules?

I forgot to mention a fifth rule which I had deemed unimportant 'til this moment .

Rule número cinco is:

5 . Only the Creator can go by and say the name "Jake Green" .

And yes, I did whip out some Spanish .

Impressed?

Yeah, me too .

I had to use a lot of brain power to remember those words .

Anyhoodles, I added that small detail to make myself feel special .

Shut up! I was very insecure at that time!

And the reason why I can't reveal my ability to say this name is the fact that Calamity will not be the only God coming over to kill me .

Why?

Because each and every one of those Gods probably has one or two off springs which are currently stuck in the Corridor of Wandering Souls for breaking the rules .

What should I go by?

Oh . . . the hassle . . .

"U-Uh . . . . . . you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, mister . " Miceter's head drooped, looking rather gloomy .

Oh no!

I've made the little angle upset!

Look at what you made me do!

"You need not worry, little one . " I hurriedly reassured . "All you need to know is that I am a Special Mentor . " Of sorts .
