I turn around and everyone is still looking at me... I guess I'm going to be popular... That's good, because it means I'll make friends easily. I need a lot of help.

The more popular I am, the more danger I'll be in, but it will also bring me benefits, like getting contacts that can help me with my mission and provide me with information.

Keeping a low profile would be the easiest and least dangerous, but it would take me more time to become powerful and get information. The best thing would be to get attention and get the information I want in the shortest possible time.

"Well, well. I'll be popular here."

Ah, it reminds me of school, although I was only popular with women, men hated me.

I sit at a table, which is empty, and take out my phone... I have several doubts in my mind. What other functions does my phone have? Also, God didn't give me a charger. How am I going to charge it?

"How am I going to charge it?"

Maybe the phone will give me the information I need.

Mmm... Mmm... Yes, I found an app that could help me.

As I check my phone, I see an app that says "Tutorial."

"Tutorial?"

I open it and a message appears on the screen.

"Welcome, I will explain the use of the cell phone. It serves as a map, allows you to take photos and videos, your phone also functions as a weapon with the right spells. It charges with magic, you just need to hold your phone with your hand and the phone will absorb some of your magic, the phone will be charged in just 10 seconds. If you have any questions, open the app again."

I remove the app and sigh... It sounds easy... It didn't answer all my questions, but something is better than nothing.

"Okay... What do I do now? I think I need to learn spells."

I open the app again and a new message appears.

"What do you want to know?"

Only the message appears and I try to open the keyboard to type, but nothing comes up.

This isn't the first time I've used a smartphone, Cris lent me his to do my homework. This thing doesn't have a keyboard to type on.

"Eh? The keyboard won't open... I guess I have to speak."

If it's asking me something and it won't let me type, I guess it's activated by my voice. How modern, although I'd prefer to write, it would save me a lot of trouble.

I bring my mouth closer to the screen to whisper what I want to know.

Ah, I must look like a crazy person considering that phones don't exist in this world, but I have to answer my doubts. I'll ignore that feeling of discomfort for now.

"I want to know spells, please."

The message disappears and another one appears. Wow, that was quick.

"You want to know spells, is that correct...? Yes, it's correct."

The message disappears and another one appears.

Oh, it's a long message. I think they're spells.

"The spells I know are: 'Arches Nexus', allows you to fly. 'Muslar asio', allows you to have great physical strength, great endurance, and incredible agility. And, lastly, 'Sword Dex', allows you to summon a great sword, perfect for fights. Those are all the spells I have registered."

... Well... It seems to be narrated in a simple way and with no technical terms. Where are the procedures to perform the spell? Is that really all?

The app disappears... Okay... I think I just have to say those words... Sounds easy.

I tried to cast spells to see if anything else would happen, but nothing. Is that really all there is to it? Do I just have to say those words?

It's too advantageous, but considering that my enemies will possibly be very powerful, this advantage was necessary.

Well, well... okay, I learned them. I guess I just have to say those words. Now I have to get attention and thus get the help of powerful adventurers... How will I do that...? I guess I got attention when they found out I have all types of magic, but that won't help if I don't show that I'm strong.

Yes, that's obvious. Anyone can have great magical power, but they won't be interested in me if I don't show that I know how to use it.

The next part of my plan is to get powerful friends and contacts. The more spells I get, the better.

I got attention by showing that I possess all magical attributes, but if I can impress them with something incredible, my name will spread throughout the country.

Ah, that will bring me problems too, but I really need contacts if I want to advance as fast as possible.

Now, well... How do I get attention?

Mmm... That will also be difficult.

Ah... Mmm... What if I wait to be known as the adventurer with all magical attributes? It will take me a little longer to achieve the fame I want, but I will achieve it anyway.

Ah, I don't know. I really don't want to waste valuable time.

"Seriously?"

"Fufu. Yes. Look at this."

I hear two men talking. What caught my attention is the pig's head that one of them put on the table. Yuck.

"You defeated an Orc with a knife? That's amazing!"

Orc?

"Thanks, it wasn't that great either."

"That's the most amazing thing I've ever heard!"

The most amazing...? The most amazing...

A great idea occurs to me. Thank you, sirs.

"If I do a very difficult mission, I can get a lot of attention. They would consider me very powerful."

Yes, it sounds like a stupid idea, and it is. But I prefer to take risks. I really don't have much time to improve. I'll take every shortcut possible.

I approach Grey, who finished attending to a girl.

"Excuse me, what is the most difficult mission available?"

"The most difficult one? Well... There's currently a mission to defeat the black demon that's in our village. No matter the rank, anyone can take the mission."

A demon... Well, well... The main enemy appeared.

"Black demon?"

...Black demon... Black... Black armor... Heat... Someone comes to mind.

I don't know why, but I remembered the man in black armor.

"Does he have black armor?"

"Yes."

There is no doubt, it's him.

"But I just saw him. Why doesn't anyone try to defeat him?"

"He's very powerful, no one dares."

"Well, well... I see..."

I stay thinking for a moment, I don't know how to fight, but I have to try to defeat him.

Wait... I have great magical power... That means, if I use the flying spell, I can fly very fast.

An idea crossed my mind.

I can escape flying if the demon manages to hurt me.

It's not a great idea, but I have to try something.

Fight and win. Fight and escape. Those are the two possible endings that this could have.

I'm risking a lot, but I feel too confident inside. Yes, I think I know the reason... God.

God is on my side. The black demon treated me well. Surely God manipulated the situation and sent me this trial to show him how serious I am about this mission. This is one of his tests to confirm that I am willing to kill.

Thank you for this, God. It will serve me not only to show you that I am capable of killing if necessary, but also to become famous and make money.

"I'll take the mission. Thank you very much."

She is surprised by my words. I guess she didn't expect that.

Well, I didn't even expect this. Seriously, this could be the best or worst decision of my life. Why do I feel so confident? I don't know, but I'm sure everything will be fine. Something in me is telling me so, and I'll believe it.

"Uh?! A-are you sure about your decision?!"

"Yes."

Grey takes a mission paper from the mission wall. The mission wall is full of papers containing mission information.

There's also a board full... Wow, there are too many missions... Are there few adventurers?

Being an adventurer seems like a good job, there are always missions available.

"Give me your card."

I suppose she needs it to fill out paperwork or something like that.

I hand her the card and she writes some strange symbols on it with a pen.

"Done."

She hands me the card. Why did she do that...? Well, it doesn't matter, I'll ask her later.

"Good luck."

Yes, I need a lot of luck. Ah, I hope I'm not making a mistake with this.

"Thank you."

I leave the guild and see the black demon. Wow, I didn't have to look for him.

Oh. I thought he was good. He doesn't seem like an evil demon.

Was he acting like a good person? Well, whatever it is, it doesn't matter. I have to finish this and show God that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill the mission he gave me.

"He seemed nice."

I approach him. Daniel, you're about to get into big trouble. There's no turning back now.

I know perfectly well, but I have to do it. God is on my side, I can do it. I just have to believe in myself.

"Excuse me, sir, are you the black demon?"

"Yes, I am. Why? Do you want my autograph?"

I wanted it before, but not anymore.

"And are you evil?"

"Evil?"

He starts to laugh devilishly and I feel some fear. He's definitely evil.

Well, although that evil laugh seems very unnecessary. It must definitely be a test from God.

"Of course I am! Why?! Are you trying to defeat me?!"

"I-I guess I have to."

The black demon takes out his black sword and everyone runs away from the place, scared. Is he that dangerous? I'm already regretting it, but unfortunately, there's no turning back now.

"I accept your challenge!!"

Well... It's time to give it my all.

God trusts me, I won't let him down.

I take a breath and sigh.

"Well... Okay... Uh... How about we settle this outside the village?" I said, with a serious look.

Don't show doubt or fear, Daniel. Don't be afraid. You can do it, Daniel... You can do it.

"For me, there's no problem!"

We start walking and I look around, people seem interested in our fight, because some are following us.

Yes, I know. Why didn't I train first to make sure I can use my magic? Two reasons. The first: I am very confident... I don't know why, but I feel very confident... I know that's bad, but I can't help feeling confident. The second: I forgot... I literally forgot! I was planning to leave and train, but I made the mistake of challenging him first... There's no turning back now.

I've seen many isekai anime, the first enemies are always the easiest to defeat. If I'm correct, I just have to say the spell to use it, so I'm sure I can take him on, I have a good feeling about this.

I have God on my side.

It's unfair, but oh well, life isn't fair.

... Life isn't fair... Yes, I know.

It's not fair at all.

Daniel feels too much confidence because he thinks that demon is a test from God, but the reality is completely different.

"What are you doing?! You didn't even train! You're supposed to be smart, Daniel! You've done something stupid!"

God was watching Daniel... And he couldn't help him... Yes, Daniel is an idiot.

Daniel is a smart kid academically, but he's quite naive and doesn't think things through clearly.

"Daniel... Ah... Why did the supreme God force me to choose you? This boy turned out to be an idiot. I hope the supreme God allows me to replace him."
