I never thought I would truly obtain Game Life.
I had considered simply restoring the world, but when I thought about it, if I only restored it, war, famine, and everything else would just repeat without changing a thing.
'Yeah. I can't go through all that hardship again...'
So I chose Game Life. With the power of Game Life, I should be able to restore the world someday, and my thinking was, 'If I become strong and gain abilities, I'll be able to stop anything that happens.'
Besides, after spending so long killing time in the bunker watching nothing but movies, dramas, anime, comics, novels, and other creative works until I was sick of them, I wanted to visit worlds as appealing as those at least once.
'And meet the beautiful heroines from those stories too~'
If only because it felt unfair to have remained a virgin for forty-eight years, I definitely wanted to try dating.
"Heh~ I've always wanted to say this~"
"Status Window."

"I have a lot of mana."
(That Aqua, or whatever her name was, said she would give me her remaining power as mana. That must be why.)
"But what's this about being poisoned?"
I clicked on Poisoned.
[Poisoned]
(Radiation: 100% chance of dying within ten years.)
"Ah... radiation..."
I had briefly forgotten in my excitement over that suddenly appearing Aqua-whatever and awakening Game Life, but the bunker was filled with contaminated air.
"This is bad. If I stay here too long, won't more radiation build up in my body?"
I hurriedly clicked on Game Life.

(Awakening Event Gift)
10 [Top-Tier Random Draw Free Coupons] and [Infinite Inventory (SSS)] have been granted.
"Oh~ Free draws, an inventory! This is insane!"
"Then I'll start with the draws."
I needed to get something good here. Other than my mana, my physical capabilities were still ordinary, and I did not even have a means of attacking. That would make it impossible to properly make use of [EX Murderous Plunder].
I had to kill people with abilities first in order to plunder them, after all.
'And it's not like people like that would be weak...'
Therefore, this draw would determine my future: whether I would become strong through hellish hardship or become strong comfortably.
With trembling hands, I clicked the coupon.

"Did I get good stuff? The pizza and burgers seem like duds, but why did this hammer come out? And this Enma... can I even use it? I don't have Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki."
I took Enma out of my inventory and wondered whether I should draw it from its sheath.
"What if I screw up and get dried out right here?"
After fidgeting with it and agonizing over it, I gave up on drawing it, put it back in my inventory, and took out the Random Devil Fruit.
"At least this one needs to turn out well..."
[Would you like to use the Random Devil Fruit?]
"Yeah."
I felt the round fruit in my hand suddenly change.
"Please be a Logia~ Please be a Logia~ Please be a Logia~"
"..."
"Huh! This shape... don't tell me..."
I felt up the fruit, then hurriedly found a lighter and lit it.
It was a pink, cylindrical fruit. I knew this fruit.
"Fuck! The Kilo-Kilo!"
"Ha... my life, seriously... In other Game Life stories, they practically start out by eating at least one Logia fruit, and I get this shit..."
The Kilo-Kilo Fruit was used by Mikita, a female villain from the early part of One Piece. Once eaten, it allowed her to freely change her body weight from one kilogram to ten thousand kilograms. All she could do was reduce her weight to ride the wind and fly around, or increase it while falling from high in the sky to attack her opponent. Its superior fruit was the Ton-Ton Fruit.
"It can't be helped. I have no means of attack, so I'll eat this for now. If things go wrong, I can ride the wind and escape."
I applied the [Penalty Removal Ticket] to the Kilo-Kilo Fruit and took a huge bite.
"Ugh... what the hell is this taste?"
I forced down what tried to come back up my throat. Once, my friends and I had bought and tried surströmming, that infamous disgusting food from the internet, as a joke, but the Devil Fruit was even worse.
[Kilo-Kilo Fruit (A)]
You can freely change your body weight from one kilogram to ten thousand kilograms. You do not take damage from impacts caused by the Kilo-Kilo Fruit's ability.
"Aha~ So that's why Mikita was fine even after falling from so high up!"
It was a shame that I could not test the ability inside the bunker, but now that I had finished all my draws, I clicked the ticket to change my appearance.
[Would you like to create it yourself, or receive the system's assistance?]
I was hopeless at this kind of thing, so I chose to get help.
"I'll receive assistance."
[Please state your requirements.]
"Hmm... Give me dark silver hair and golden eyes. Make me an incredibly handsome man around twenty, overflowing with decadent charm. As for the body, make me 190 centimeters tall with well-proportioned, aesthetic muscles, and skin that's flawless and a little paler than average."
[Understood. Would you like a preview?]
"Yeah."
A transparent blue screen appeared before me, showing an image of a perfectly naked man who exceeded even my demands. His looks were so overwhelming that no handsome actor from any country or era could compare.
"Whoa~ This is awesome! Even a man could fall for him just from looking at him. But..."
[Is there anything you would like to change?]
"Um... make his dick a little bigger~"
The dick of the man in the image became somewhat bigger.
[Will this be enough?]
"More~ More~ More~ Perfect!"
Now I had nothing to envy about the size of the Black men I had only seen in Western porn.
[Would you like to apply the changes?]
"Yes!"
As my body itself grew larger, the tracksuit that had hung loosely on me clung tight to my body, and as my legs lengthened, my pant legs rode up to my calves. It was too dark to see right now, but I probably looked pretty ridiculous.
Now that I was done, it was time to choose a work.
"Where should I go?"
I decided to first deal with the radiation problem and, since I still lacked a means of attack, look for a setting where I could grow stronger relatively safely.

"Night Run and One-Punch Man are basically going there to die, and while I might survive the early parts of Dragon Ball, there'd be no answer later on..."
I scanned down the list, but there were not many easy settings for my current situation. Even if I used the Kilo-Kilo Fruit's power to slam down from the air, there were tons of settings where they would just go, 'What was that?' and dodge, or even strike back. But if I went to worlds like Snow White or The Little Mermaid, there would be nothing to gain but points.
"Phew~ I guess it can't be helped. I'll go to KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! and grow stronger safely."
Axel, the town where KonoSuba's protagonist Kazuma first arrives with Aqua, had fairly decent people—more or less—and was peaceful. More importantly, before you started, Aqua let you choose one broken ability or weapon. Of course, later a Demon King general might show up, or some bizarre mobile fortress might attack, but I figured, 'Well~ the protagonist's party will take care of it somehow, right?'
"Oh, right! I should take some things that could make money in advance."
I went to the warehouse, grabbed a backpack, and stuffed it with clothes. I also packed the gold rings, necklaces, and other valuables I had set aside for emergencies. Just in case, I gathered some daily necessities like toothpaste and toothbrushes and stored them in my inventory too.
In KonoSuba, weaving technology was less advanced, so if I brought modern clothes over, I could sell them for a high price. I intended to use that to raise my starting capital. I had no intention of doing day labor like Kazuma.
Then I clicked KonoSuba.
