Esper A, you've been recruited into a world of the uncanny.
You can build a safe house only after successfully clearing an uncanny scenario.
Esper A: Hello, Lord God. What is my ability?
The Lord God fell silent for a rare second.
Lord God: Your ability is yourself. You are a safe box.
A safe box means your items won't drop when you die.
Esper A: ???
Hello? Doesn't that mean you have to die first?
*
Esper A survived the man-eating old man of withered bones, dodged walnuts falling from the sky, and finally escaped the first uncanny sub-world.
Esper A used the dropped items to build a safe house.
Esper A was bored out of her mind.
Lord God: Esper A, you can take a two-hour leave to visit your family at home.
Esper A: Can I bring back some local specialties?
The Lord God fell silent for a rare two seconds.
Lord God: You can, but they must fit inside the safe box.
Esper A: ???
Wait, I can actually bring things back?
*
Esper A brought all sorts of bizarre dropped items back from the uncanny world.
The old man of withered bones' coccyx made top-notch hemorrhoid cream.
The walnut fairy's walnuts flew faster than drones.
The granary keeper's wheat grains could double the yield per acre.
Even the doorkeeper's stinky socks made an unusually effective mosquito repellent.
Naturally, Esper A made a fortune.
She delivered the espers' final letters to their loved ones.
She also brought food and letters from home in the real world and delivered them to the perilous uncanny world.
*
Esper A battled monsters and leveled up, clearing one uncanny world after another as the safe box's capacity continued to grow.
Finally, one day, Esper A challenged the Lord God: You despicable Lord God, do you dare give me a few more hours of leave to visit my family?!
Esper A was furious: I won't have time to sell all this stuff!!
The Lord God fell silent for a rare three seconds.
Lord God: Clear the uncanny scenarios, and you can go home forever.
Esper A: ???
"What do you mean, Lord God?"
"You don't need me anymore?"
*
One day, during a mission to clear an uncanny world, the espers were all fighting for their lives in a sub-world.
Suddenly, the skull flower dropped its act, the greedy golden toad spat out all its coins, and even the old man of withered bones closed his door to visitors.
The espers were ejected from the uncanny world.
The espers were stunned.
A group of espers found one another and compared notes. Once they pieced together what had happened, they discovered the truth behind the upheaval:
Esper A had kidnapped the Lord God.
She was taking him home.
