Once time froze within the world, I promptly returned to the Admin Room, stretching my arms a bit as I called out to the other deities. Anyone that wants to come with us to the meeting, meet up in the living room. I wasn’t sure if everyone would want to go this time, so I decided to send out the …

Looking at the clock once again, there were only a few hours left before the meeting. It was time to go inform Tsubaki about the plan, and allow her to make her decision about whether or not she wished to join me for it. Though, given her personality, I could not imagine her ever saying no to that offer. Just …

“Here you are, sir.” A young kitsune woman said as she guided James into the laboratory that they had set aside for him. Given the varied nature of his research, there was a wide array of different devices arranged for him. Everything was neat and new, and James couldn’t find a speck of dust in the entire room. “Nice.” He …

I speechlessly watched as Tsubaki brushed through her long tails, shaking my head. It wasn’t that I was purposely letting her ‘suffer’ at the hand of James or anything like that. Rather, my attention had been diverted elsewhere due to the ascension of another mortal god. This god was, surprisingly, actually a halfling of Fyor. Even though the world had …

“Your Highness, there is a guest here to see you.” One of the maids called out to Bria, who was sitting in her office and going over her paperwork. She furrowed her brows, feeling that there had been more and more noblemen coming in recent weeks. Ever since the emergence of the new goddess, everyone wished to requisition funds for …

It didn’t take long for James to find what he was looking for, a pair of armed hunters traveling together in the woods. One was equipped with a bow, while another held a pair of daggers. When he saw that there was no quiver of arrows for the archer, James paid it no mind originally. After all, there were far …

“So, you must be Chelsea?” I asked, looking at the shorter girl with silver hair. She had a petite build, and lighter skin than her former Keeper counterpart. Her outfit was a loose-fitting set of overalls with the right shoulder strap hanging off the side. Beneath that, she wore a white t-shirt that had a visible amount of grime and …

“Hot, hot, hot, hot!” A voice sounded out in the world of natural energies before a figure emerged. The figure appeared for all intents and purposes to be a dark-skinned human with short black hair and a muscular figure. He wore simple wool clothes, which were emitting smoke as he appeared. There was a trace of embers on his hair, …

Petra stood at the gate to the next layer of Fyor, the furthest layer that she and Thelsa had explored. Currently, she was standing with a small party of five, blending in as a typical strong adventurer. Despite her youthful appearance, nobody underestimated her after she displayed her abilities against numerous monsters on the way here. “Is everyone ready?” The …

I stood atop Trials’ island, closing my eyes and focusing. I could feel the shadows stretching out, further and further. Connecting with every dark corner of the world and integrating it all together. This must be how Thelsa felt the first time that she created the shadow of Fyor, the feeling of something expanding deep within you. This wasn’t just …
