From the Start, I Devoured the Prison Realm

[I've decided to keep it free forever. I don't think locking it behind a paywall after completion is necessary.]

I'm Higashi Kikue, an ordinary person who loves games. A game company called the Time Government gave me a game cartridge for free and asked me to help test it.

So I immediately shared the good news with my close friend, Kusuo-sama, and was met with a deafening silence.

Kusuo-sama: Don't play games from unknown sources.

Me: But it's free!

And so I happily started the game.

From the start, I landed in Shibuya and gained the ability to gobble, gobble, gobble.

So I tried to gobble up that NPC with the topknot and squinty eyes.

Then I died.

I was furious, so I interrupted their terrifying sealing ritual and gobbled up the key item right in front of everyone.

Me: Prison Realm, crunchy, tastes like chicken.JPG

Everyone: Eyes wide with shock.JPG

The game told me I should recruit a capable right-hand man of my own. I thought it had a point.

A good player ought to have their own summons.

So I went to the treasury of one of the Big Three Families and performed a live demonstration of swallowing a sword in front of the white-haired, Six-Eyed NPC.

Me: It's like slurping noodles. That was quick.

White-haired, Six-Eyed NPC: Incredible... Well, at least it's better than eating the Prison Realm.

The Tsukumogami, who woke up to find his true form inside the player's stomach: What a shock!

The white-haired, Six-Eyed NPC invited me to teach at the school. I agreed, for the sake of his character portrait.

I didn't expect an assassination attempt along the way, but the game told me it was a necessary step toward becoming the ruler of the world.

I agreed. From then on, I was on a path of endlessly rewinding time and gobbling up every monster I came across.

I also told my close friend Kusuo-sama about my gaming adventures.

Me: Don't you think a game like this is thrilling? I feel like I've learned so much.

My close friend: If you're already the master of the universe, why can't you just make cockroaches go extinct?

Me: Haha, because it's fun.

The female lead has a player's mindset and is not in a very good mental state. The story mixes together a jumble of different worldviews, and the female lead will repeatedly travel back in time to start the story again.

She has an enormous golden finger. In short, it's about a female lead getting stronger...

[The male lead is Kusuo Saiki. They have been mutually in love from the very beginning.]
