Synopsis

The chapter explains that the 'Perished World' isn't just a game, but a real competition to become a god for a planet abandoned by its old gods. Participants, potentially including the reader, are chosen based on their mental fragility and are given the option to quit, but those who accept will be locked into the challenge, risking death. The chosen players begin selecting initial races to lead, each with different strengths and weaknesses, with the protagonist observing nearby races like frogmen and lizardmen to start their journey as a god.
