Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 — Scrambled Destiny

Recap of Previous Chapter:

I, an innocent man who died choking on an egg, was reincarnated into a new world. Now, somehow, I'm the unwilling figurehead of an Egg Cult. My first opponent? A giant, bloodthirsty goose who nearly killed me with a honk so powerful it broke windows.

The System, being a sadist, gave me three choices. I tried to pick "Goose Slayer Mode," but ended up with "Egg Shield." The result? A giant egg that exploded into rotten stink, driving the goose back but convincing the villagers I was the "Egg God Incarnate."

The goose is still alive. The villagers are chanting my name. And the System just gave me a humiliating new quest:

"Defeat the Goose of Doom using only egg-related skills."

Scene 1: Goose vs. Egg God (Round Two)

The ground thundered as the goose charged. Its wings spread wide, its beak glowing with some unholy honk-energy. Villagers scattered, but not far—they wanted front row seats to this divine poultry match.

"Egg God! Smite it!"

"Summon another Holy Omelette!"

"Show us your yolk might!"

"STOP CHEERING, HELP ME!" I screamed, backing up.

The System purred:

[Relax. You've got this. Just use your new skill.]

"My new skill is literally Stinky Omelette! What do you want me to do, fart on it?"

[Tempting, but no. Check your updated Egg Skill Tree.]

"…Egg Skill Tree?"

A glowing panel appeared. My eyes widened.

📜 Egg Skill Tree (Beginner Tier):

Stinky Omelette (Unlocked): Creates a smell that repels enemies and friends alike.

Egg Toss (Locked): Throw raw eggs at enemies. (Damage: 1. Dignity loss: infinite.)

Sunny Side Blast (Locked): Shoot scalding fried egg. (Warning: may cook target and self.)

Scramble Strike (Locked): Random egg-based attack. Success rate: ???

"You've got to be kidding me," I groaned.

The goose honked again, shaking the heavens. Villagers clutched each other, screaming.

"The Beast defies the Egg God!"

"Prove your yolk divinity!"

"OKAY, FINE!" I screamed, raising my yolk-covered hands. "System, unlock something useful!"

[Confirmed. Unlocking skill: Egg Toss.]

"…That's your idea of useful?!"

Scene 2: The First Attack

A glowing egg materialized in my palm. It felt warm, fragile, and utterly pathetic.

The goose roared. I hurled the egg with all my might.

PLOP.

The egg hit the goose's beak.

It exploded in a wet splat.

The goose stopped.

For a moment, the world froze.

Then…

HOOOOOOOOOOONK!

The goose went berserk, charging harder. My egg attack had only pissed it off.

"OH, COME ON!"

The villagers gasped.

"Did you see? He fed the beast to test its loyalty!"

"The Egg God is merciful!"

"He is taming the Goose of Doom!"

"NO, I'M NOT!" I screamed, running for my life as the goose bore down.

Scene 3: Scrambled Destiny

[Warning: You are about to die. Again. Activating desperation protocol…]

The System's voice rang out. My entire Egg Skill Tree flickered.

[New Skill Unlocked: Scramble Strike.]

[Effect: Randomized egg-based attack. Success chance: 50%. Failure chance: catastrophic.]

"Catastrophic HOW?!"

[You'll find out when it happens.]

The goose lunged, its beak glowing with honk-energy. I raised my hands and screamed:

"SCRAMBLE STRIKE!!!"

Light exploded around me.

Dozens—no, hundreds—of eggs appeared, orbiting me like glowing meteors. Each one shimmered with different yolk-colored energy.

The villagers dropped to their knees.

"The Egg God has ascended!"

"Behold, the Omelette Apocalypse!"

The goose's honk met the storm of eggs.

BOOOOOOM!

Eggs flew like cannonballs, yolk raining down like divine punishment. Boiled eggs exploded in the air. Fried eggs shot beams of sizzling grease. Deviled eggs detonated like grenades.

The goose was swallowed in a barrage of breakfast fury.

It honked one last, desperate honk—then collapsed, covered in yolk, feathers singed, completely defeated.

The villagers erupted.

"THE EGG GOD HAS WON!"

"ALL HAIL THE SCRAMBLED SAVIOR!"

"WE ARE FOREVER HIS YOLK DISCIPLES!"

Scene 4: Aftermath

I stood there, trembling, covered in yolk, egg shells, and grease. My hair dripped with runny egg. My dignity was gone.

The System chimed.

[Ding! Congratulations. Quest Complete.]

[Reward: Title unlocked — [Eggsecutor].]

[Stat Boost: +1 Strength, +1 Smell Resistance.]

"…This is my life now, isn't it?" I whispered, staring at the goose-shaped crater.

[Yes. You are the Egg God. Accept it.]

Behind me, villagers had already started building a shrine out of egg shells. A dozen knelt, weeping. Children ran around chanting "EGG GOD! EGG GOD!"

The System chuckled in my ear.

[Oh, don't worry. This is just your tutorial boss.]

"…TUTORIAL?!"

Cliffhanger Ending

As I collapsed to the ground, exhausted and yolk-soaked, a new shadow appeared at the edge of the village.

A cloaked figure stood watching.

They smirked, whispered something about "the prophecy of the Egg God," and vanished.

Somewhere, out there… someone was taking my new "Egg Messiah" status way too seriously.

The villagers won't leave me alone.

The System gives me my first official questline.

And apparently… word of the Egg God is already spreading across the kingdom.
