He became a professor of political science at a young age.
With a sharp mind, he finished his studies quickly, built an impressive track record, and secured a position at a prestigious university.
“Congratulations on your appointment in your twenties, Doctor!”
“Looks like you’ve got nothing but smooth sailing ahead!”
A dream job with guaranteed tenure until the age of 65, plenty of research funding, and even paid vacations and sabbaticals for leisurely breaks.
My life was supposed to be a red carpet of success and comfort from here on out.…Yes, it was supposed to be.
Until that damned goddess kidnapped me.
“Hey, you look pretty smart! Come help the people of my world, will you?”
“What? Who are you, and why are you suddenly barging into my office,”
Right when I was preparing materials for my first lecture, she appeared out of nowhere.
Without so much as a warning, she took one look at me, decided I was useful, and dragged me into her world.
Her demands were clear.
Use my knowledge and abilities to support the people of this world in every possible way.
Like the protagonist of some kind of territory-management story, I had to develop civilization and strengthen people’s faith in the goddess.
“If you do a good job, maybe I’ll send you back to your original world — so work hard, okay?”
Holding my career and life hostage, that damn goddess threatened me with her demands.
‘Why the hell should I?’
Why should I help some crazy woman who just decided to treat me like her personal tool?
And there wasn’t even a guaranteed promise that she’d actually send me back!
What if I bust my ass helping these people, and she just washes her hands of it?
I’d be stuck here until I die!
“You think I’m just gonna sit back and take this?”
Enraged, I made up my mind — I was going to screw that goddess over, no matter what.
[The Communist Manifesto], [The Wealth of Nations], [Das Kapital], [The Prince], [The Little Red Book], [Fascism], [An Essay on the Principle of Population] —I had more than enough tools in my mind to shake this world to its core.
