It tasted not as lackluster as I thought it would.
At least there wasn't much difficulty swallowed so that's good.
To think that I would receive my first fly only a few moments after I had kissed a goddess.
Is it me or is it some kind of sign telling me that… all is going to be okay.
You know what, I'll take that as a yes. Because when someone says nothing it kinda means yes, especially when you are alone and talking with yourself.
I thought about all this as I was sitting at the edge of the large hill as the tree stood behind me as a wall supporting my huge weight. The hill was behind the large house I was in and it was also the place where I had my first kiss with a goddess… and ate a fly.
So overall… It was a significant experience for me.
Alright then, it's time to take a recap and finally talk about what really matters.
First question, Should I take the easy route and help out the protagonist or take the hard route that means going behind the protagonist and using most of his key points to propel myself up?
Now let's do a pros and cons list.
The first path is the easy path, the protagonist is already pretty strong so he doesn't need much help from me and breezes through the first few hurdles easily. He also gets to meet with a lot of women which means I will also get to know a lot of woman too.
The protagonist is already strong so he probably doesn't need me… at least until I can increase my strength which is now actually possible. I may meet a lot of woman because of him… but all the attraction would go to that beautiful guy.
And the biggest two cons, If I were to be acquainted with him or… be his supporter than that means I will just get a huge list of names with the word 'villain' written beside them in brackets so that's a no no.
Finally, At the current moment, with my fiancé going to attack me, who WILL be a future heroine and one of the other key points in the protagonist's route to fight me… I don't think being his supporter is in the cards at the moment.
Looking at the patch of dirt beside me which had more crosses at the con mark, I summarized.
Well… it seems the con marks wins the debate but I would still try not to choose a side right now… maybe when I become stronger and know that I can handle the repercussions of playing with the stories fates… only then.
But I can already see which path I might choose.
Scrubbing away the patch of dirt I create a new one and name it… Advantages.
Advantages… what are the things I have that can be useful to me and how effectively to use it to change my fate to a much more enjoyable one.
First and biggest one is my plot knowledge. I can use this to change my destiny to a better one but if I overuse it than the future might get changed than the one I know.

I scrub my head as I remember that even though it's my favorite novel but I still haven't read the final volume of it. How could I when it was going to release the next year and… I died literally at the beginning of the year.
But that's still a lot far from now so it's not that big of a deal and it wouldn't be a problem if I am to make myself very very very capable by then… which I will.
Next advantage is my talent.
I sighed remembering the talent level.
If I'm right, then I have an even better talent than the protagonist and he had the highest one… buuut, it also means I would need to train myself to attain that level of power. But there is a problem.
I am a lazy ass which now pounds to 500 to 600 kg, can't tell with how much big my stomach is that stops me from seeing my own feet.
But that can be arranged with training… rigorous fucking training. No matter what happens, I would commit myself to it and become strong.
Why shouldn't I when I have infinite talent?
I look around me and notice a subtle change.
I am able to look quite far… very far. Maybe a few kilometers. I say this because there is a farm far ahead of me and I am sitting here seeing the guy in 4k realistic resolution.
I can even close up and see the small ant that is climbing into his pants… should I tell him?
Naaah… he probably wouldn't hear me and even if he did, it would be as something something pants anyway.
And just like the description from before, I can see the guy's stats? Well I can see his name, talent level and which power level his at which is above average… at least his better than me.
I haven't seen my stats yet but I'm sure other than my talent, it's going to be pretty bleak.
Now comes the most fascinating function.
I look at the guy and suddenly my vision blurs a little as time goes by slowly and see the guy moving very slowly. But the effect quickly goes away and replaced with tiredness.
Apparently seeing things in slow motion is also a function and I can use it. Wonder what else is there.
… The final potential.
It's good... it's great but… why is there a nagging feeling that something isn't right about it?
I turn back and see Anna standing behind me and looking at me with scared eyes.
"What are you doing from there! Get away immediately, you might fall and get hurt very badly."
I smiled seeing her genuine worry.
"Anna, just the person I was waiting for."
"Can you help me up?... I can't get up."
So with great strength from both front, I finally get up as Anna falls on the grass.
Anna looks up and see's my hand in front of her and my smile. She smiled in return and gets up holding my hand.
"Thank you, young master."
"No worries, now let's go."
"To take care of our future."
