The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 4

 

What are Skills by Evil God-san



The relationship between the [Demon King] and the [Hero] seems to be different from what Evil God-san had in mind. This was evident in his expression.


Perhaps there are many discrepancies between the world that Evil God-san envisioned and the actual world.


With this in mind, I decided to ask him for more information about the other world into which I would be reincarnated.


"Evil God-san, I would like to hear more about the other world into which I will be reincarnated. If I can be useful, maybe a little bit at a time, I might be able to fix the world you wish for, Evil God-san? What do you think?"


Then Evil God-san's eyes widened in astonishment.


"I thought, but Evil God-san created the world, right? I'm curious why the god who created the world is called an Evil God. It is unacceptable."


I told him so, but Evil God-san remained frozen in amazement.


For a while, I looked into his eyes and waited for his reply.


Then he finally calmed down, smiled kindly, and began to speak.


"I am very grateful for your feelings. Besides, I even took your life. It's not reasonable to ask you to go that far. As long as you live freely in my world, that's fine."


"If you allow me to live as I please, I will change the world to the way you want it to be, Evil God-san."


Evil God-san was surprised again.


But this time, he seemed to be very happy.


"I understand. I'll take you up on your offer. What I want for my world is a world where everyone can live in peace. Please help me make that happen."



What Evil God-san wants is a world where everyone can live in peace......


I really don't know why this god is an evil god.



"I'm sorry to be so quick about this, but...... why are you called an evil god? It is Evil God-san who created the other world, right? Normally, you would be worshipped as a creator god or something."


Evil God-san smiled wrily at this question and began to answer.


"Hmm... Where should I start explaining..."


Evil God-san continues after pretending to be a little worried.


"First of all, when I created the world, I referred to the fantasy of your world."


"Huh? Is it that fairly recent? Does that mean that not much time has passed in another world?"


"It's true that I used the fantasy you've been reading lately, but in my world, a lot of time passes. My sense of time as a god is different, so a little bit can make a difference."


"Then, can I ask what you used as a reference?"


"For example... Yes, they can allocate statuses to each person and give them skills to make it easier to understand their abilities... However, if I create a job system and give each person one-by-one, there may be some kind of discrimination, such as disadvantageous jobs, so I integrate all jobs into skills......"


Skills were explained in detail there.


In the world created by Evil God-san, skills are manifested through a certain amount of training or discipline.


It is influenced by status, but skills can be obtained through training and discipline.


For example, if you want blacksmithing skills, you need to train in blacksmithing, and if you want swordsmanship skills, you need to practice swordsmanship.


The role of skills is simply to support one's abilities.


For example, if you learn the skill of swordsmanship, your body naturally assists you in sword stance and swinging.


By learning a skill, you can also understand how to use it in your mind.


For example, if you learn the skill of blacksmithing, your body will tell you how to do it, how to hammer the iron, etc.


"Skills are not only acquired through hard work. There are skills that you are born with."


That's right. There are skills that you are born with.


Blacksmithing and swordsmanship, which I mentioned earlier, also exist as innate skills.


Those who are born with such skills grow up faster than those who acquire them through hard work.


Specifically, it seems that the skill level grows quickly.


"There are also skill levels…"


"I wanted to differentiate even with the same ability. I also created a skill that evolves when the skill level is raised."


When it comes to raising the skill level and evolving, for example, if it's swordsmanship, there is intermediate swordsmanship, if it's even higher, there's advanced swordsmanship, and if it reaches the supreme level, it's divine class swordsmanship.


"But there are also skills that have nothing to do with birth or effort."


Saying that, Evil God-san speaks a little differently.


"That's the [Demon King], [Hero] and [Saint]."


"Huh? Is that going to be a skill!?"


"I was thinking that if I didn’t make it a job system, it would all be skills. That's what I thought."


"Then how do you acquire skills that cannot be acquired by birth or effort?"


"That's... actually, it's pretty vague... It's pretty random..."


When I said that, Evil God-san said apologetically.


Then he started making excuses in a bit of a panic.


"Ah! But it's not just about anyone! I've created a rule that there should be seven [Demon Kings] and seven [Heroes] in the world! And that includes the [Saints] among the [Heroes]!"


"Does that mean that there are seven [Demon Kings] and seven [Heroes] and [Saints] in the world? Why?"


"Because that was the best balance."


"Balance……"


"Yes. I tried many things and found that seven against seven was the best."


Here, I asked him a further question.


"If the [Demon King] and [Hero] are decided at random, you don't need me, do you?"


Then, Evil God-san panicked again.


"That's not true! It is true that some things are random, but not everyone can become a [Demon King] or a [Hero]. Each skill requires a person's own [Vessel] to manifest."


Calming down a bit, Evil God-san continued.


"There are many [Heroes] and [Saints] who can become [Vessels]. This is because many of the [Heroes] and [Saints] are of the human race. Human beings have a short lifespan, but they have a superior ability to reproduce. Therefore, there are many descendants of [Heroes] and [Saints], which means that there are many people who can be used as [Vessels]. On the other hand, there are not enough people to be the [Vessel] of the [Demon King]. This also means that the demon race is long-lived and their reproductive capacity is inferior. It is especially difficult for them to produce offspring when they express the [Demon King] skill."


And Evil God-san thinks for a while and then looks straight at me and speaks.


"Let's be honest. The human race has the skill to keep producing the [Heroes] and [Saints]. The reason for this is, of course, to keep the descendants of [Heroes] alive, to gather people who can be [Heroes], and most threatening of all, they have the ability to summon people from your world and other worlds, or simply put, from other worlds that can be placed in my world."
