I don’t know how this happened—but man, was I lucky and unlucky at the same time.

  I remember it like it was yesterday.

  Maybe because it was yesterday... or maybe not.

  Honestly, there's no way to keep track of time in this void.

  Then, out of nowhere—

  "Hello, human. I am the Goddess of the Sun, Celestia. You are very lucky, for I have chosen you for a very special mission."

  A radiant figure appeared, glowing so bright I had to shield my eyes.

  She continued, her voice echoing with divine authority (and maybe a hint of annoyance).

  "Allow me to explain. Last night, while reading an isekai light novel, you said—and I quote—‘I wanna be in an isekai so badly, I’d trade my soul.’ So now, you’re getting your wish."

  “Wait, then you want my soul in exchange for my wish? So be it! It’s all yours. I didn’t need it anyway. Take it!”

  This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  "What? No, no, no! That’s not what I—ugh, never mind. We’re on a tight schedule, so I’ll make this quick."

  "Each god or goddess rules over a world, and my world is in utter chaos. Humans and demons are at war, tearing everything apart, and turning my precious realm into a chicken fight. I’ve become the laughingstock of the divine realm."

  She looked genuinely stressed. It was kind of funny.

  "So, I pulled a few strings with the goddess from your world and now—ta-da!—you’re here. All I need you to do is go down there and fix things. In exchange, you get your precious isekai life. Sound good? Deal?"

  “Of course! This is my chance to go full OP in another world!”

  "Great. Now, I’ll be getting rid of that old body of yours and placing your soul into a demon."

  “…So you do want my soul.”

  "Ugh. Sure. Whatever."

  “So how do I, uh, fix this world?”

  "Like I said: you’ll be reincarnated as a lowly demon. From there, you’ll need to rise through the ranks, defeat the Demon King, and establish peace with the humans. Simple, right?"

  “…Why not just put me in the Demon King’s body to begin with?”

  "Because my powers are dwindling. Gods only stay powerful if they’re worshiped, and thanks to this war, nobody’s praying to me anymore!"

  She sighed, then brightened up.

  "But hey, don’t worry! I’ll give you a status window and one skill. How does that sound?"

  “Awesome! What’s the skill?”

  "‘Copy’—it lets you copy other people’s skills."

  “Peak. Awesomeness.”

  "Haha! Celestia never disappoints. Now get going… and don’t screw this up."

  She snapped her fingers.

  And everything went black.
