[An outer world god is a being that was never really born or made, they were there before the start of time]
[Outer gods were all assigned to a universe they must protect and keep order there]
[They were there before the stars, sun, earth and everything else was created.]
[It was one ordinary day for all outer gods when it happend; an outer god attacked a world that was not assigned to him]
[It was Azathoth]
[Azathoth is the strongest outer god, also the one who made there were more outer gods than him. Nobody could stop him]
[He was the one who started the apocalypse.]
[I, though, am just a normal human being. And the story you heard just now - is my novel]
[It is not well known, it has about 700 chapters and it is still ongoing; I write a chapter once a week.]
[The story follows the sole protagonist who navigates the world of the gods to stop the apocalypse]
[His name is HikaruRen]
[Hikaru Ren has tried to stop the apocalypse countless times but each time he failed.]
[You're probably wondering - 'countless times? did he not die there then?']
[Hikaru Ren is a regressor]
[He has been to hell and back more than you can imagine, he is now closer to a killing machine more than anyone. He has gone crazy.]
[Today.. I am releasing the final chapter.]
[I decided I'm going to end it with a miserable death of the protagonist.]
[Today.. Is the death of Hikaru Ren]
[Time of death: 10:46 AM the 14th of Februrary 2026]
"Rest in peace, my dear protagonist"
...
I finished writing the final chapter after 2 hours, I sat on the couch in my house, exhausted.
I couldn't believe I have finished writing the novel that I have been writing for years, it has been with me since high school.
I have started it on the age of 16, and now it is finished by the age of 29.
I turned on the TV and opened the news channel.
NEWS SPEAKER:
"An unexpected event accured today - an explosion in Osaka has made 14 buildings collapse - the cause has not yet to be found, but the police are currectly investigating this case and they will inform us right when they learn the cause of it."
________________________________________________
"An explosion that made 14 buildings collapse? damn, that's rare.
"It's also how my novel started, if I'm not wrong."
I switched to another news channel.
________________________________________________
ANOTHER NEWS SPEAKER:
"Today, we are here with mister Kinji Yoshimoto
"Mr. Yoshimoto, please introduce-"
BOOM!
There was another explosion right behind them, they both were seriously injured.
This explosion covered the whole screen, I couldn't see anything but their injuries and the explosion.
I quickly turned off the TV and opened my novel in my phone.
['A Regressor's Journey to Saving the World from the Apocalypse' novel has been opened]
That was my AI inside my phone talking.
I quickly looked in the prologue.
It was just like in my novel!
The explosion, the locations.. even that guy's name! 'Kinji Yoshimoto'!
Kinji Yoshimoto is a side character in RJSWA. (regressor's journey to saving the world from the apocalypse)
For a particular scene (Except for this one) I needed a new character, and one of my readers suggested the looks, personallity, name, power level and age for that character.
That character ended up becoming Kinji Yoshimoto.
My novel is not famous, but there are some people who read it. Though only one has read it to the 700th chapter except for me; which is quite suprising.
At this moment, I have realised that the novel I have wrote for 13 years has became reality.
At least I was half-sure.
I was just about to go outside until I heard more and more explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was more than just explosions this time..
It was a monster.
That monster was a goblin.
I have come up with 2 things that could be happening.
1. this is the end of the world.
2. someone is cosplaying as a goblin and the explosions are just randome meteorites or something.
I have figured it was probably the first option.
It wasn't long until some dragon breaths fire on my house from his mouth.
My whole house was burning.
'It really is the first option'
I was burning from the heat, it was so painful I felt like I couldn't breath.
[SYSTEM MESSAGE: Would you like to become a -PLAYER-?]
'Why the hell is there a blue screen in front of me?.. Am I hallucinating before my death?' I thought.
[YES - NO]
[PLEASE PICK ONE OPTION.]
'This wasn't in my novel..'
I slightly moved my hand to the 'NO' button.
[IF YOU PICK 'NO', YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE LAST STAGE OF HELL AND WOULD HAVE TO SUFFER A PUNISHMENT UNTIL HELL TURNES TO ICE]
'Oh heck no'
I moved my hand to the 'YES' button and clicked on it.
[CONGRATS ON BECOMING A PLAYER.]
The blue screen in front of me expended and showed the status of myself.

'Damn.. how did they gather all this information on me? are they a stalker or something?
'And power.. 'Author'.. what does it do exactly?'
I have not noticed about the 'Reality change' power yet.
I was trying to bear the burning pain on my arms and legs while trying to figure out the situation.
"S-System, I.. would like an explanation"
I could almost not make any sound, my throat was burning as if I was in hell.
[ HERE IS AN EXPLENATION, AS YOU WISHED: ]
[The System is AI computer who will help you gather information on yourself and other beings, sell things for coins and level yourself up.]
[For example, see that goblin outside? close your eyes and imagine him as if he's a close friend of yours.]
I closed my eyes and ignored the pain, I thought of his as my close friend, and as if he had helped me a lot.
The goblin looked at me and suddenly smiled.
'Since when do goblins smile?.. what the hell'
The goblin ran torwards the dragon and started attacking it.
'I can make people protect me with just a thought?!'
[It only works on monsters]
'But it still works on super strong ones! it's still really good!'
[Only on F, E, D and C ranks]
'Oh.'
The smile I had on since the goblin started attacking the dragon for me had dissapeared.
I had then realised something every human on this planet would fear.
'YOU CAN HEAR MY THOUGHTS?!'
Even though the system is just a computer, I still do fear that it knows so much about me now.
I had removed that thought from my mind as the burnings on my body keep becoming more unbearable.
'How could I possibly survive this?'
Poof
I had fainted.
This day is probably the last day I'll live.
