My Substitute CEO Bride

Recalling Dusky's words, Nash declared, "Then I'll adapt to the Plague's power!"

Nash unleashed the power of the Heaven-Shaking Tome to its fullest extent. Dusky did not stop him, but he reminded Nash, "You will engage in a decisive battle tomorrow morning. Do you think your true energy will recover by then?"noveldrama

With that, Nash understood Dusky's implication. He turned to look at this familiar yet unfamiliar god. "So, what do you suggest, Zaafea? Or are you just here to watch me make a fool of myself?"

Dusky quickly denied it, "Of course not. To put it plainly, we're on the same front now, so I'll naturally help you. But this will not come for free. Let's make a deal, shall we?"

Nash knew Dusky was not going to help him easily. "What do you want? From the very beginning, I sensed something strange about your actions. And the deal you want to make with me is your true purpose, isn't it?

"You're quite clever. It may seem like you want to witness the fates of everyone, but what's really going on? Every step you take changes the fate of some people. Why? What exactly do you want?"

Dusky understood there was no need for further concealment. "Let me tell you directly-every story is written by humans. Humans can become gods, but gods can never return to being human.

"I spent my life proving this viewpoint. In this, I also explored a more superficial truth. Human life has an end, and so does that of gods. A god's life is proportional to their ability to create memories and stories.

"Once a god can no longer create new stories, their life as a god comes to an end. At that point, a new god will need to replace them. It is all a cycle, and you will be the next divine emperor.

"Nash Caleraft, you will inherit the

bloodline of the former divine emperor and open up a brand new story. This is how I'll break your fate. The former divine emperor came this way too.

"This world, essentially, is like a vast forest of stories. When the oldest tree withers; new sprouts will emerge. And this world constantly requires various memories and stories. The current emperor has fulfilled his duty well, and next, your story as a human will come to an end.

"At that time, you will transform from a character in a story into the author of the story. This is the content of the deal I want to make with you. I will grant you the power to rewrite stories, which is divine power. At the same time, once this event concludes, you must become the divine emperor."

Dusky openly expressed his intentions to Nash.

"W-Who are you?" Nash asked while trembling.

"I am the God of Memories, and I am also the first being in this world." Dusky's

hands transformed into a transparent substance, flowing like water.

"If this world is a book, then I am the pen used to write it. Now, I want you to become the new scribe."

For a moment, Nash found it hard to calm down. "Is everything, including everything I'm doing now, written by the gods?"

Dusky nodded. "That's right. Aren't you curious why I can change your fate?"
