Chapter 1: World Destruction? The God of Conquests Accepts the Mission
"The collaborator in a certain port has disappeared!"
"Display the distribution map of Loose Souls in Europe on the screen!"
"The situation is becoming even more critical!"
At the Far East Branch of the Underworld Public Order Department, Dokuro Skul, the Chief of the Countermeasures Department for Evil Spirits, was scratching her head over the currently pessimistic situation.
Right at that moment, the surrounding environment underwent a sudden and massive change. Skul, who had just been in the countermeasures office, found herself in a completely unfamiliar space.
It was a pure white space where the sense of up, down, left, and right was completely blurred; even in Hell, she had never seen a place like this.
"Welcome to my space."
At that moment, an unfamiliar voice rang out in Skul's ear.
In front of her, countless photons emerged and then condensed into a shape; an existence in the form of a young girl appeared before Skul.
"Who are you?"
"I have many names. The titles given to me or my incarnations differ across various dimensions, worlds, and cultures—Chaos, Materis, Jehovah. In other words, I am the Creator God who manages the multiverse, the one true God. My status is not something the goddesses of the Heavens in your world can even begin to compare to."
While the God spoke, images of countless parallel worlds appeared in Skul's eyes, even including the world Skul resided in.
Skul nodded thoughtfully; after all, the power the other party displayed was completely beyond her scope of cognition.
"You are currently frantic because of the Loose Souls, aren't you? However, the multiverse is now facing an even greater crisis. It's not just your world; countless parallel worlds may suffer a Void Invasion. If the invasion succeeds, the worlds will be finished."
As the God spoke, information regarding the multiverse continuously flooded into Skul's mind, allowing her to quickly understand the current situation.
This crisis was far greater than the Loose Souls!
"As the Creator God, I could, of course, easily drive away the Void—"
"Phew, that's good then."
Skul breathed a long sigh of relief.
"—However, I have lost a lot of my current energy, so I temporarily cannot do that!"
"!!!!!"
Skul's small skeleton body nearly jumped into the air.
Wait, what?
Are you kidding me?!
This is a major crisis where the world is about to be destroyed!
"But there is good news. I know the whereabouts of my energy; they have been scattered into a certain world and have merged with some people there. Of course, mortal bodies cannot use my power at all, and they won't even feel anything. However, I need your help to retrieve my power. That way, I can recover my strength as quickly as possible to fight the Void!"
"I see. But how do we do that?"
"Just make those who possess the power fragments fall in love. As long as they fall for someone, the power fragments residing within them will return to my body."
"Huh?"
Skul was dazed for a moment.
This sounded somewhat familiar.
"After all, you have been engaged in similar work, haven't you? I will grant you the right to connect to that world. Afterward, what you need to do is the same as before: find suitable candidates and find a way to recover my power fragments."
"Um..."
Skul's voice sounded a bit dejected.
In the end, she was just changing her workplace!
Because of this damn work, she didn't even have time to get married, hey!
Am I born with the fate of a beast of burden?!
"It seems you are somewhat dissatisfied with this job."
The God narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Skul in front of her.
"No, not at all!"
Skul hurriedly squeezed out a smile with her skeleton face.
The Creator God... she wouldn't also have the ability to read minds, would she?
"Correct, I can read minds."
"I'm sorry."
"Your thoughts are only human. But as I just said, this is a great crisis affecting the multiverse. If the Void invades, not just you, but even countless parallel worlds will be destroyed. Of course, as long as you can successfully complete the mission, I will give you a reward—for example, completely solving the Loose Soul trouble in your world, allowing you to live a life where you never have to work overtime and never worry about food or clothing—"
"Leave it to me!"
Skul patted her chest with immense force, making a creaking sound of bones colliding. Her face was full of motivation, and light even burst out from the hollow eye sockets of that skeleton face.
"These are the locations of my power fragments."
While speaking, a stack of cards appeared in Skul's hand, all featuring portraits of unfamiliar young girls.
"Seeing your confident appearance, how do you plan to proceed?"
"Filling the cracks in a girl's heart—the method of romance is the most suitable! I already have a suitable candidate in mind!"
Skul said with a smile, while shouting loudly in that high-pitched, eccentric voice:
"His name is—The God—of—Con—quests—"

At the same time, on the rooftop of Maijima Academy High School, a youth named Katsuragi Keima was holding a game console, posting walkthroughs for various galgames on different forums.
He was the God of Galgames, who had conquered his 10,000th heroine, played nearly 5,000 games, and could conquer six games simultaneously—his limit was even twelve games at once.
The God of the gaming world!
Right at that moment, Katsuragi Keima received a new message.
[To the God of Conquests]
[I have heard the rumors that you can conquer any kind of girl. Although it seems unlikely, if it is true, there are many girls waiting for your conquest (This will be an ultra-high difficulty galgame like nothing you have ever experienced).]
"What is this? Such a provocative email. Who does he think I am? A God does not run away!"
Katsuragi Keima pressed the OK button.
Simultaneously, a burst of blinding pink light exploded in the sky.
A black-haired girl descended from the heavens.
"Thank you for the contract, Kami-sama."
Katsuragi Keima, who had just been blown back by the shockwave and rolled several times on the ground, finally pushed up his glasses and looked carefully at the girl in front of him.
She was a girl who looked to be about his age. A purple dress wrapped around her slender body, a pink hagoromo floated around her, and white over-the-knee socks outlined her straight legs. Under her smooth long hair was a fair and cute face, with agate-like eyes projecting an eager gaze.
"Then, let us set off immediately!"
The girl took Katsuragi Keima's hand and flew directly into the mid-air.
