Would You Love Me If I Were an Impostor?

The entire story is being rewritten and replaced.

I'm not human.

I realized this after I came back to life in Cecil's body.

I am an Old God, the most perfect thing in the world, the apex of the food chain, the ultimate answer to genetic evolution.

I should have looked down on all living things, but treacherous humans brought me down. Only a sliver of my consciousness survived, clinging to the body of a weak human.

My divine power and her will merged, and together we became a new species.

They call it a fake human.

I am the continuation of Cecil's life, and I will avenge her.

Her husband hit her, so I hit him back.

Her child was killed, so I created a new one for her.

People always looked down on her, so I entered their dreams and made them kneel before Cecil.

I will fulfill every one of her wishes.

But Cecil's will says that's not enough.

She still needs love.

Love.

A contradiction, combining absolute altruism with the ultimate selfishness, a function discarded long ago by the relentless course of evolution.

I don't understand how to obtain love.

But I cannot return to the divine throne without fulfilling Cecil's last wish, so I begin learning about human *love*.

I learned.
