59 - Asher the Plot-tical Thinker

  Taking a big swing from the mug in my hand I leaned back into the rocking chair.

  When I still was an old lady, I had built myself a nice little cabin on the outskirts of some town far away enough for most not to disturb me. I don't really remember the town's name anymore.

  Before I left it completely, I put the cabin and everything that was in it, in my pocket dimension skill, and this morning I put it wherever the hell I was now.

  It would have been a waste to just throw away all the love, care, and work I had put into it, and everything it was made of I made by hand, with the assistance of a few skills, but nothing that automated the process.

  It felt like forever since I was just a dude.

  Inside I still am, in a way, but I'm not here to argue semantics. Elf dudes are not just 'dudes', in my eyes.

  But even with no worries in the world, or rather, in this world, I feel like there's something missing.

  What would it be?

  I was young; I was old, different races, a boy, a girl, a rock once, but that story is for another time.

  "Faye, you think I should actually do something in this world?"

  "What do you mean?" She asked, not even pretending to care.

  I painstakingly created a rocking chair for her with my own hands too, but she never used it, always hovering just a bit above the ground behind or next to me.

  "Something meaningful. I could try to open up my own country. I could be a king.

  ...

  Nah, I don't want to rule. I want people to be free and do whatever they want. I'm just a random asshole with power. Does that really make me qualified to tell others what to do?

  Not in my perspective. Might doesn't make right. And on a side note; divine rule is for suckers.

  Also, that plot Point has been explored thoroughly enough, and being a leader of anything's gonna be a lot of work. Who has time for that? And why would anyone want to have that much responsibility?"

  What was the reason Rimuru wanted to create a kingdom again?

  So that the monster races would have somewhere to live and not be prosecuted?

  Do I really care about that stuff? A bit, that's for sure. But going too much out of my way to help everyone I find? No.

  What was that guy before he was isekai'd? Some kind of businessman, I think.

  It's awful, isn't it, how the Japanese have to wage-slave so much for a decent living?

  Ainz basically had no say in the matter. He was just stuck as the leader of Nazarick.

  I also didn't have a choice- well, I did have the choice of where to be reborn, but not as what or who.

  Wait, I didn't even ask Alexandra if I could have. Damn, am I really that stupid? I should have thought about it more and asked her a bunch of questions. Instead of trying to exactly explain in what setting I want to be born in, I should have asked if I also could specifically choose as what to be born as.

  MC's usually have something to do in their world. Fantasy school or being a leader or a hero or some corny shit like that.

  I, on the other hand, have nothing.

  Ugh, I suck.

  Why don't I make it my life's work to make the world a better place? Sure, at least until I got bored of it.

  There are undoubtedly certain locations in the world that are a complete dumpster fire, like the slave country I was in.

  Stomping out some bad laws 'n stuff would be a good idea.

  I could establish some political ties and let the world know I was here.

  Yeah, sure. Why not?

  "What is the closest nation that I haven't yet visited, Faye?" I asked.

  "Chauk, to the east."

  "Great, to Chauk it is then."
