Im A Busy Man

Chapter 7 - What ?

The man returned wit the hamburg steak. I dug in and used proper etiquette, I did not want to look uneducated now did I?

When I was done with my hamburg steak, I looked at him as he was confused about what to do. I knew he wanted to ask me questions, and I was ready to answer, as by my past human nature, made me want people to know of my power, just to show superiority? Maybe, possibly, but you know, I also don't want everyone to know me, because it's like being a celebrity, once everyone knows you, how do you do normal acts, but also, when you become a celebrity, don't you just want to show off?

That's when I saw it, my golden chance, he called me into the back, and I can't lie, my arrogance was souring through the roof, but I kept a calm demeanor.

Once we were in the back, the man started talking.

He said to me, " Be honest with me.. do you know of a place called Japan? ".

Bingo, I now knew that he wasn't English like myself, but he didn't need to know my origins.

I replied with a calmness and a voice that practically made the trees fall into autumn and if a song ever is sung by it, the seasons would change, " I do indeed know of a place called Japan, you must be a human from earth. "

He looked at me, " So I assume you are also a, reincarnated person? ".

I looked at him and gave him a laugh, " No no no, I am an existence greater than a person. "

He looked at me confused, " So what are you, a dragon in disguise? A spirit maybe, come on, tell me what you are. "

I laughed, " No no, I am none of those lower beings, nor am I reincarnated. "

That's when he realized, I knew about earth yet I wasn't reincarnated, what could I even be?

He looked at my appearance and demeanor, " What are you then... "

He then stared at me intensely, Ill be honest, it freaked even me out.

~ P.O.V Change ~

My name is Machida Hisao, I was born in Japan and had lived a normal life, for the most part, my parents were kind people and I helped out where I could due to there good influence. I was an avid funder of charities and had been in my restaurant one day when I got a call, apparently my restaurant now qualified to be a 4-star restaurant, something I had longed for, for a long while. On that same day, I heard that one of the greatest men in our century had died. The CEO of the International Benevolence Foundation, of I.B.F, had died due to a crazy man out on the streets crossing paths with him, and stabbing him while he was on a walk.

I went on to try and live up to him as, while not an actual idol, was an idol to many and his kindness hit many people from all walks of life. I started putting almost all of my money into helping his charity funds that were run now by his son. I still kept enough money to put food on my table and pay for my rent and bills. With this, I was happy that I could be a small part of something greater, and hopefully, overall help the future of our world.

Then, while I was happy with myself, it had been 7 months since his death, and I found myself out on a walk through the local park. That's when I saw a young lady getting mugged, I decided that for an act of kindness, just giving my financial earnings was not enough, and I had to be an active part of it, if possible. So I ran up to the man and tried wacking him across the head with my briefcase, little did I know, it wasn't like the movies, he turned around on me, and to say the least, he was extremely pissed. He stabbed me straight in my c.h.e.s.t, as the girl ran off terrified.

I died there, but to my surprise, I woke up to see a man in a fashionable suit with long black hair in a ponytail, and some reading glasses on, sat in front of me. I was, to say the least, confused.

He then spoke to me, " I am the god of thought and the acc.u.mulator of all worldly knowledge, Asaria. "

I was flabbergasted, I thought this only happened in novels!

I then said, " Uh... I'm Hisao, but please call me Machida... ".

He looked at me with a quick glare, " I already know that, but I am here to give you a chance of reincarnation, into a world unbeknownst to you. "

I looked at him with glee, " Really!? What do I have to do there, do I have some kind of ultimate goal?! Maybe I'll be summoned in front of the king and have to slay the demon king?! ",

He then stared at me, " Why would I have you kill the king of demons? "

I was confused, " Because demons our evil arent they? "

He stared at me with disdain, " That is quite racist of you, the demons live on their own continent and have a functioning society... ".

I was flabbergasted, " I'm sorry, thats just what we think of when someone calls others a demon on earth. "

He looked at me with a reply, "It's okay, you will become more knowledgable about people through your experiences in your next life. "

I looked at him, " What do you want me to do though then? "

He said simply, " Become the ultimate chef on the human continent, currently, the cuisine produced by the humans lacks flavor after I have studied the art of dining and found such great foods in the other races, why do my followers have to have such bad quality food, so go and fix that. "

I said to him, " I can do that but.. my food was only 4-star quality on earth. "

He then said, " Don't worry about all that, I will give you a small subconscious of an ethereal being that will help you, and give you rewards that act as miniature god bequest, by lamens terms of earthlings, a 'system'. "

I flipped with joy, a real system!

Long story short, I had set up the best restaurant in Oakenshire, and I was sure I made the best food on the human continent for sure.

Then one day, while I was running my business, as usual, I saw a strange man come in, he had a strange aura to him that was not too heavy, nor light, it was in perfect harmony and balance.

But either way, I had seen many strange folks in my time running this restaurant, but he asked the most precarious thing, without even looking at the menu, he asked for a Hamburg steak...

I immediately dribbled sweat, this may be my first time seeing another reincarnee, but he could also be from a continent where that was already a common dish in restaurants. So I asked for a platinum just to see if he was either a rich traveler or if he was a reincarnee.

He took out two whole platinums! For me, that may not be much sense I run such an expensive restaurant, but for the commoners of this world, he seemed like a man who may even have guilded gold!

I quickly served up a hamburg steak and he ate it properly, truly looking like a man from earth.

And now here we are, in the back of my restaurant, he denied being reincarnated and being another race that I know of, so I had the system scan him, but it simply replied coldly.

[ System Scanning.... ]

[ Race: ?#:[email protected]?# ]

[ Name: [email protected]#?% ]

[ Title(s): The Creator of All, Great Father, Giants true God, All that is Holy, The Great Imminence, The Balance ]

[ Danger: No Escape, Imminent Demise, Complete Ahnillation ]

[ Suggestion: Talk, you can't get away from him even if you tried ]

This was the first time the system couldn't even display a race, and he had more than four titles! There was one thing I discovered about this world, one title meant you were revered, two titles meant you were a saint! Three titles and you were the ruler of the continent, four titles, and you were a god.

Whoever this man was, I had to show him the greatest respect, a shot of sweat dripped down my forehead.

I then asked him, " Sir could you be... ".
