"Ah, damn it! If only I had the power... If only a man could eat a Peach and gain an ability, I'm certain I could obtain a superpower with enough willpower to rewrite the common sense of the world!"
"Why is Kamikawa Naoki the only lucky one! It's not fair! I want it too!"
Much about Mato and the Peaches remains a mystery, largely shrouded in darkness. However, it is widely believed that women who consume a Peach tend to obtain abilities that reflect their strongest desires and cravings. Indeed, if that belief holds true, then if Tatsuki—a man who constantly lusted after women and harbored intense dissatisfaction toward modern society—were to gain an ability by eating a Peach, it wouldn't be surprising if that power allowed him to easily reshape society and indulge his desires anytime, anywhere.
Unfortunately, that "special" man wasn't him; it was a young man who had just graduated high school and instantly achieved fame. Comparing himself to Naoki only fueled Tatsuki's resentment.
"...Ah, it's so pathetic. If things keep going like this, by the time I'm forty, I'll be banned from every brothel in Japan, and the only way I'll be able to ejaculate is by masturbating to porn and erotic manga."
But that was merely an illusion. Humans cannot obtain special abilities. That was the absolute rule of this world, rewritten by Mato.
Yes—if one only speaks of rules based on 'Mato.'
If another supernatural entity, separate from Mato, were to interfere with this world, the story would be different. And that "What If" scenario occurred. Oga Tatsuki's intense desire warped the dimensional barrier. It wasn't a Peach that grows only in Mato, nor the Shuuki that infest the land, nor the Eight Thunder Gods who claim to be deities, but something entirely different.
Something that could only be described as a "god" bestowed power upon Tatsuki. Conflicts between two forces are often resolved by the interference of a third power that overwhelms both sides. The war between humanity and Mato was to be settled by Tatsuki, who had been gifted power from an entirely different dimension—a "cheat ability."
The world had been reborn. This world had become Oga Tatsuki's toy box.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
"Now, I wonder what kind of schedule the Anti-Demon Corps has lined up."
Dressed in casual attire—a white shirt and brown chinos—Tatsuki smirked arrogantly while thinking about the Anti-Demon Corps, or more specifically, its members. After all, the members of the Corps were all beautiful girls and women, possessing outward charms befitting the elite of this female-dominated society.
"I can't even count how many times I've masturbated while looking at the Commander's photos...! She's far better than any whore or adult actress...! Her beautiful face and vulgar body... even just masturbating to her feels better than any sex!"
Among them, the Commanders who led each unit were powerful and captivating figures, enjoying high social status and immense popularity. Although their demanding work meant they rarely stood in the media spotlight, their photos were used in posters and pamphlets for disaster relief efforts in the city, and these items had become collectibles as fans flocked to gather them.
"Wow, the Anti-Demon Corps is truly incredible...! I can't believe they even have a villa like this. This is paradise!"
Among the Peach Blessings obtained by those who consume the fruit, there are many abilities that defy human understanding. Some allow for the creation of specialized space-times, and the place where Tatsuki currently stood was a realm created by someone with such a specific Blessing.
"A 'paradise,' huh? The Anti-Demon Corps really can do anything."
This was a place where beautiful flower fields bloomed in abundance, where the air was so clean it couldn't be experienced in modern Japan even with advanced science, and where the temperature and humidity were always maintained at levels ideal for human habitation. The place was called Shangri-La. It was a haven of luxury that neither the wise nor the foolish could ever reach if they pursued it merely for the sake of arriving.
At the heart of this utopia stood a massive samurai residence. Although it was a grand two-story building, the interior was even more spacious than it appeared from the outside, having been shaped by many individuals using their combined abilities to further develop the original utopia. The facilities resembled a hot spring inn, including open-air baths, relaxation rooms equipped with massage chairs, and a grand hall capable of hosting banquets for dozens. In addition to the outdoor pool, there were indoor training pools, competitive swimming lanes, and night-style pools.
Furthermore, various types of games, both analog and digital, were available, and there were even bouldering walls in areas outside the training rooms. This utopia was filled with everything needed to entertain its users. As indicated by its high degree of isolation, this utopia was originally a vital facility for the Anti-Demon Corps, but it had now been transformed into a playground more accurately described as a "complex recreational facility."
"Heh heh, I'm looking forward to it...!"
It was none other than Oga Tatsuki who had altered the order of the world—indeed, the very essence of that utopia. One day, Tatsuki suddenly obtained absolute power that surpassed the Peach Blessing of Yamashiro Ren, the Supreme Commander of the Anti-Demon Corps.
There was no meaning or motive behind it. It was pure coincidence; no one knew why he had been granted such power. All that remained was omnipotence, enough to turn the world into a toy box, bestowed upon a man who likely hated this female-dominated society more than anyone else.
"«Mara Papiyas» (Something More Terrifying Than Death)... It's a very useful ability." Tatsuki muttered in a low voice.
That was the name of his awakened ability. It was a power from a different phase, a higher dimension than the abilities rooted in the Peaches of Mato. Therefore, although the name was based on Tenma Hajun of Buddhism, if the opponent possessed a Peach-based ability, it would surpass even the power that bore the name of a Buddha who had defeated Tenma Hajun.
Like the will of a vast, nameless concept, this world had splintered away from similar worlds that had followed the same history, all because of a needless miracle that occurred only in this world out of all possible ones. In other words, the world had changed from a battlefield of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood—centered on a war with enemies calling themselves the Eight Thunder Gods—into a base world that existed solely to satisfy one man's cravings.
"Hehehe... thanks to that, the Anti-Demon Corps is mine... Gufufufu!"
With that power, Tatsuki rewrote the world according to his own goals. That was the power of omnipotence, the power of a god—no, a demon—who could rewrite the essence of this world as information, changing the strength, memories, personalities, and physical bodies humanity had gathered as if they were digital data. And the new world created by rewriting the old one with that demonic power was truly grotesque.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Unfortunately, the dream that had finally come true ended before it could be enjoyed.
Beyond the sliding doors, an exclusive bath had been prepared—a place that was supposed to be the starting point of his absolute dominance. No other man was permitted to set foot inside, or even acknowledge its existence. The same applied to the women, who were now only allowed to enter if Tatsuki permitted it.
Even in the world Tatsuki had rebuilt, the structure of the female-dominated society—where the concept of female supremacy and male inferiority was embedded in every aspect of life—remained unchanged. Only one thing had been added to the hierarchy of woman > man: the existence of a third entity, Oga Tatsuki, had been inserted, resulting in a structure of Oga Tatsuki > woman > man.
It was a simple pyramid that placed a fat-bodied, dark-hearted man at the highest peak, above all the women he had once craved and hated simultaneously.
However, this doujin plot ended before it even began.
The story was nothing more than a wet dream, the delusion of a man marginalized for too long who was suddenly given power without ever learning to use it wisely. And the one who ended this was neither a god nor a demon from another dimension. It was none other than Kamikawa Naoki, the young man Tatsuki now looked down upon, assuming he was under the influence of «Mara Papiyas».
Naoki was unaffected. He was simply faster and better prepared.
PU-CHI!
A small popping sound, barely louder than an air bubble bursting on the surface of water, filled the room. A small-caliber bullet pierced Tatsuki's forehead with perfect accuracy—right in the center, between the two eyes that a second ago were shining with the lust of victory.
Tatsuki was killed instantly.
There was no time for surprise. No time to feel pain. His eyes were still wide open, his lips still curled in a half-formed smile, when his flabby body lost all muscle tension.
*BAM!*
The body fell backward with a heavy thud, and blood began to pool on the white marble floor.
*BUZZ!*
The space around them began to fluctuate. The air vibrated like a mirage in a desert. The lines of the room appeared to warp, as if reality itself was exhaling in relief after being held hostage for so long.
Naoki stepped out from Spatial Displacement—a thin rift in the layers of space invisible to the naked eye, where he had been hiding for the last few minutes, observing, waiting for the right moment. His right hand still gripped the silenced pistol that had just killed the ruler of this false world. A thin wisp of smoke still curled from the muzzle.
Naoki looked down at Tatsuki's corpse for a moment. There was no satisfaction on his face. No disgust, nor compassion. There was only the calm of a man who had done what needed to be done.
"Thankfully, everything went smoothly."
