Chapter 30: The Story of E – Chapter 30: Customer Service from Beyond
---
1. The Divine Ticket Response
E stared at the message from GOD.
Reality was already packing its bags.
Bob was still unconscious.
E cracked his fingers and started typing.
REPLY:
"Rollback was necessary. Your update broke immersion. Users were unhappy. Please reconsider microtransactions in existential crises."
He hit send.
The universe held its breath.
A reply came instantly.
FROM: "GOD"
"Who told you I take suggestions?"

2. The Celestial Terms of Service
Reality shook its head. "You just pissed off the Admin."
E shrugged. "First time?"
The sky ripped open, revealing a colossal scroll.
Bob, now awake, screamed.
[UNIVERSE TERMS OF SERVICE – UPDATED.]
1. Do not rollback reality without divine approval.
2. Do not engage in unauthorized fourth-wall interactions.
3. Do not offer better customer support than GOD.
E narrowed his eyes.
"That last one feels personal."
Reality nodded.
"It is."

3. The Ultimate Tech Support Call
E took a deep breath.
"Fine. Let's do this the old-fashioned way."
He dialed a number on an invisible phone.
[CONNECTING TO: DIVINE SUPPORT HOTLINE…]
GOD: "Thank you for calling Universal Support. Your estimated wait time is… forever."
E grinned.
"Yeah, I hacked your queue. We're talking now."
Silence.
Then—
GOD: "…What do you want?"

4. The Negotiation of Reality
E leaned back.
"Here's the deal. The microtransaction update failed. People hate it. I fixed it. Instead of punishing me, maybe we figure out how to make reality… less broken?"
Reality nodded furiously.
Bob tried to look wise. Failed.
There was a long pause.
Then—
GOD: "Fine. I'll remove the Life Premium Shop. But I'm adding ads."
E facepalmed.
Reality groaned.
Bob looked at the sky.
Suddenly—
[NEW UPDATE: NOW FEATURING SKIPPABLE ADS IN DREAMS.]
Bob screamed.
E sighed.
"Close enough."
