A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

"Oh? So it was this monster that was drawn."

When the Mefilas alien saw the card, he let out a meaningful soft exclamation.

"You've actually been chosen by this monster known for its intense heat that can melt everything. It seems the anger in your heart is enough to set this entire city ablaze."

Faced with this unexpected gift, Sarina gripped the sharp-edged card tightly, her heart pounding wildly.

But she was not completely overwhelmed by this sudden power.

Sarina raised her head and stared at the Alien Mefilas.

"You've given me such immense power for no reason, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Mefilas aliens burst into laughter.

"You're overthinking it, Earthling."

He turned around, his back to the hospital bed.

“I made it very clear just now that the Great Dark Ruler does not require you to complete any specific tasks.”

"You can use this monster's power to do anything you want, kill whoever you want, without any constraints, as long as you keep using it and keep venting your hatred."

The edges of the Mefilas alien's body gradually became blurred.

"In short, make good use of Pandon's power and don't let me down, human."

"Wait! Explain yourself clearly..."

Before Sarina could press for further details, the Mefilas alien completely merged into the air and vanished from the hospital room.

All that remained was the dim light filtering in from the window and the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Sarina sat blankly on the hospital bed, if it weren't for the monster card still clutched in her left hand.

She might even think that everything that just happened was just a hallucination.

On the same day, at 5:30 pm.

In the alleys of Kamisui City, Light Yagami was walking down a secluded alleyway he always took on his way home from school.

As one of the top students in Japan, he not only had perfect grades and was an all-around athlete, but even the people around him could not find any fault with him.

But Light Yagami found the world utterly boring.

Just like this alleyway that reeks of decay, day after day, there's nothing new about it.

Suddenly, Light Yagami stopped in his tracks.

He didn't turn around, but just turned his head slightly, glancing at the thick shadow behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"You've been following me all this way, aren't you going to come out?"

The shadow behind him rippled like water.

The Mefilas alien, hidden in the shadows, slowly emerged, a hint of undisguised surprise flashing in its eyes.

He was surprised that a mere human could see through his stealth and couldn't help but admire him.

"That's amazing."

"How could someone with such a weak sensory system as a human being be able to see through my stealth?"

"I originally just planned to observe you, but I didn't expect you to have even more potential than I thought."

Mefilas stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze towards Light Yagami carrying a new meaning.

"May I have your name?"

Upon seeing the strangely handsome face of the newcomer, Light Yagami felt a great deal of turmoil in his heart.

He imagined countless possibilities: a fanatical stalker, a classmate jealous of his grades, or some scoundrels with ulterior motives.

But no one expected that what would emerge from the shadows would be an "alien" in the literal sense.

However, Light Yagami quickly suppressed his shock thanks to his extraordinary mental fortitude.

"Answer my question first: Who are you?"

Mefilas chuckled and shook his head.

"Hehe... I've been asked this question far too many times today."

"However, for such high-quality material as yours, I don't mind introducing myself again."

He took a step forward and stood at the edge of the band of light.

"My name is Mefilas, and I am the most loyal sword and shield under the command of the great Dark Ruler."

"As for the reason I sought you out... it's simple. Because I sensed a powerful, surging emotion deep within you—a deep-seated loathing for this boring world."

The voice of the Mefilas alien was full of seductive meaning.

"It was a loathing for the ordinary, anger at the status quo, and a terrible ambition to change the whole world."

"Therefore, I have come specifically to bestow upon you the supreme power of the Dark Ruler."

Upon hearing this tempting rhetoric, Light Yagami did not react with the usual fervor and excitement. Instead, he astutely seized upon the flaws in the other person's words.

Since the other party has already answered the same question for many people today, it means that he is definitely not the only one who has been selected as a lucky person.

"In other words, you had already been in contact with other people before you came to me."

"So I'm definitely not the only one who was chosen, right?"

The Mefilas alien paused for a moment, then nodded.

You are the fifth person to accept this gift.

Upon learning that he was not the only one who was special, Light Yagami fell into a brief silence, seemingly quickly assessing the current situation.

"That means four people before me have already accepted your gift."

Mefilas nodded slightly.

The alley was quiet for a few seconds.

Light Yagami's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.

If there are people ahead of him, it means this is not a one-time gift, but a plan that is being implemented.

Since multiple beneficiaries need to be selected, the purpose of this "Dark Ruler" is definitely not simply charity.

The most likely logic is that he is setting up a game of chess, which requires multiple pieces to be present at the same time.

There must be a competitive relationship between the pieces.

"What are you thinking about?" Mefilas looked at him with great interest.

"I'm wondering why you told me the number of people."

Light Yagami tilted his head slightly.

"Generally speaking, if you want the recipient to accept the gift with peace of mind, concealing the existence of a competitor is the optimal solution. Your disclosure of this information is either an accidental slip or intentional."

The alien from Mefilas stroked his chin.

"You're quite interesting, human."

"However, I advise you that you don't need to put on such superficial formalities in front of him."

The Mefilas alien raised a finger and pointed at Light Yagami's chest.

"The reason I approached you is because I've seen right through you."

"In your eyes, the vast majority of people in this world are just drifting along, accepting whatever fate has assigned them."

"But you are not like that. You despise mediocrity, you feel the world is rotting, and you believe you have the ability to change it, you just lack the right key."

“And I don’t object to your ideas, so you don’t need to pretend in front of me, because I happen to have the power you need.”

Having his thoughts completely seen through, Light Yagami stopped pretending.

He stared at the Mefilas alien.

“You’re right, I have indeed been waiting for an opportunity to break this corrupt world.”

"But what power can you possibly give me?"

The alien Mefilas pulled out monster cards as usual.

This time, however, he didn't let his opponent draw blindly. Instead, he carefully selected a monster card from his deck and threw it to Light Yagami like a dart.

Light Yagami reacted swiftly, his right hand precisely catching the rapidly approaching card in mid-air.

He looked down, his brows slightly furrowed.

"what is this?"

The alien Mefilas patiently explained, "This is a materialized card containing the power of a monster; it allows you to wield terrifying power that ordinary people cannot comprehend."

"Of course, this card was personally selected by me and wasn't part of the planned allocation. Consider it a small personal gift to you."

Light Yagami's finger paused on the card. "Why?"

The Mefilas alien put away the rest of the cards.

"Because I am very interested in you, I have a feeling that you are very likely to become a crucial part of that person's grand plan in the future."

"That sir?"

Light Yagami followed up with another question.

"Who exactly is this Dark Ruler you speak of? What is his ultimate goal?"

"Ha ha……"

The Mefilas alien chuckled and retreated into the shadows.

"With your current strength, you are far from qualified to know the name of an adult."

"Once you truly grow up in this cruel game and gain the favor of the adults, you will naturally have the opportunity to see his true face."
