Last Boss wa Shi ni Tagatteiru

It’s been six years since I became possessed by “Hellroad, the Evil God,” the final boss of a massive virtual reality game, and have been trapped in this world. The only way for me to escape is to be defeated as the boss. “Just kill me!” A low-level priest, decked out in various legendary items, appeared and subdued me. Then he said…

“I didn’t come here to kill you.”

He claims he doesn’t want massive amounts of experience points or fame—there’s only one thing he desires.

“I want you to live. Don’t die, Iroha.”

To me, who cannot escape this place unless I die, he whispered sweet words as he placed a collar around my neck to keep me alive. Will I ever be able to return to my original world?
