Chapter 3 – The Divine Realm
I had told her I was going to a restaurant, but that was a lie. As the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company, I actually planned to handle some urgent office work from the living room.
First, I went to another room and changed into comfortable clothes. Then I headed to the kitchen to brew some fresh coffee. While waiting for the coffee to finish, my heart suddenly started beating much faster than normal.
My vision began to blur, and a sharp pain exploded in my chest. I collapsed onto the kitchen floor.
And just like that, I died.
Before everything went dark, only one thought crossed my mind:
"It seems my mother-in-law's neglect play is going to go on for quite a while."
…
…
[Scene Change]
When I was about to regain consciousness, I heard a soft, melodic voice that sounded like the most enchanting music I had ever heard.
"Oh my, you're finally awake."
I opened my eyes slowly. As my vision cleared, I found myself lying on a luxurious bed inside an elegant, almost divine-looking room.
In front of me there was a woman who just looked like my mother-in-law but was more breathtaking than anything I had ever seen or imagined.
She was watching me gracefully from a chair, as if she had been patiently waiting for me to wake up.
I stared at her without even realizing it. For a moment, I completely forgot about my mother-in-law Angela, whom I had left tied up back in the room.
She stood up and walked toward me with elegant steps.
She looked like a thirty-year-old MILF, with long, flowing white hair that nearly reached the floor.
She was incredibly tall, around two hundred centimeters, and wore a stunning silver dress that seemed too perfect for this world.
Her busty figure was unreal — a tiny waist, full and heavy breasts, and an ass so perfectly shaped that any man would instantly get hard just from seeing her silhouette.
Her large, golden eyes gazed into mine, filled with love, lust, and a hint of sadness.
She just looked like my mother-in-law but even more slutty yet beautiful. Even I was confused.
"Do I know you?" I asked, still dazed.
"Hehe… Son-in-law, just because I became more beautiful, how can you not recognize me?" she said with a small sigh, sounding slightly hurt that I had failed to recognize her.
"Huh? You're really my mother-in-law, Angela? How can you look so different? Moreover, where am I? This doesn't look like a hospital at all," I asked as I was unable to hide my confusion and curiosity.
"I am truly sorry to inform you that you died from a heart attack. I really wanted to prevent your death, but even I could not control fate itself. All I could do was bring your soul to my divine realm."
I was stunned for a moment when I heard that I was dead. Strangely, I did not feel much sadness about leaving my old life behind.
Even though I had become a multi-millionaire and built a successful company, none of that seemed to matter anymore.
The only thing that truly saddened me was the thought of my relationship with Deepika and my mother-in-law, Angela.
"So what happened to Deepika? Since my mother-in-law is here, I am not too worried about her, but I still want to know about my fiancée."
"Don't worry. If everything goes according to plan, you will be able to meet her soon."
"Then that's good." Hearing that I would see her again, the last bit of reluctance about my death completely disappeared.
"By the way, what will happen to me now?"
Angela looked at me for a moment before answering. "Before your death, I tried to change your fate, but I was not successful. So I slightly cheated death by bringing your soul here to my divine realm."
"But the main problem is that I cannot create a divine body for you right away. I could make you a mortal body, but you would die again soon after. To make you truly complete, we need to construct a proper divine body. For that, you will need the world's origin."
"So can I get the world's origin?"
"You can obtain it by changing the bad fate of a world into a good one and saving that world from destruction. The world will recognize your efforts and reward you with the world's origin."
She was basically asking me to save an entire world. I had no idea what problems that world faced or how to fix them. Then an idea came to me. I looked at her and asked, "So, killing that orange-faced idiot with the bird's nest hairstyle — would that count as saving the world?"
"Yes. In fact, you might even get a Nobel Peace Prize for it," she replied with a soft laugh. "But unfortunately, I cannot send you back to your old world. Death is still waiting for you there. The moment I send you back, you will die again."
"So… what now?"
"This is my divine realm. It connects to various worlds under my governance. I can send you to one of them."
"That sounds good. If these worlds are governed by you, then I should be able to save them quickly, right?"
"Hehehe… Unfortunately, there is a slight problem."
I noticed her laughing nervously and immediately thought that this "small problem" was probably not small at all.
"And that would be?"
"Although I govern the world, I cannot interfere with it. If I were to influence it, it would all be destroyed before it could be saved. Moreover, these worlds are not normal worlds. They exist at the intersection between fiction and reality. In short, these are all the anime worlds you used to watch."
"So you are the Goddess of Anime? And you control worlds like One Piece, Naruto, Demon Slayer, and so on?"
My mother-in-law looked at me, slightly averting her eyes as if hiding something. Her cheeks turned a light shade of red as she continued.
"Actually… I am the Goddess of Love and Lust. And according to the laws of plot armor, the worlds I govern are indeed anime worlds, but slightly different."
"Plot armor? What plot armor? And what's the difference?"
She looked a bit embarrassed but kept explaining. "These worlds are basically alternate timeline versions of lewd worlds."
"Huh? What?"
