I'm the King of Stories, That's the Whole Story

Kailuo was reborn on a strange continent inhabited by strong orcs (not mushroom spirits), towering dragons, and a bunch of dancing blue elves (just kidding).

When Kailuo turned eighteen, he entered a legendary fairy-tale land. According to legend, it was the home of the God of Stories, the guardian deity of children. But the withered giant tree, shattered shrine, and dried-up Heart of Stories all spoke of the desolation there.

"Go... Don't come back again..."

Inside the Story Tree, the God of Stories waved a wing at Kailuo without turning around.

"I saved you, and this is how you repay me?"

Kailuo ate some fruit while looking at the enormous owl with its back to him.

"Hahahaha!"

The God of Stories turned around, revealing a mess of ruffled feathers, a bruised eye, a crooked crown, and a string of bandages on its left wing.

"I'm the God of Stories! I want stories! Stories! Stories!"

"But what I told you was a story, too!"

"Haha, do you know where I got all these injuries? This morning, I went out to spread stories. Guess what happened?"

"A mysterious being suddenly appeared along the way! Hey! They hung me up and beat me! It hurt, ah!"

"I asked why they were beating me. Hahaha! They said their name was Nyarlathotep..."

"Nyarlathotep?! Isn't that a character from one of your stories?!"

Kailuo was stunned too.

"I have no idea!"

"The story came true?!"
