Ch 37 - One Question Too Many

I swallowed hard, unsure of what to say. No answer came to mind, and while I hesitated, the pressure bearing down on my thoughts began to shift, replaced by shimmering anger.

Why the hell am I afraid of her? Just moments ago, I was confident I could kill her whenever I wanted.

The realization burned through me. I was furious...

Map - Ch 36

I'll update it as we go

Ch 36 - Which God Do You Serve?

The room was dark, the air heavier than before. A narrow corridor dimly lit by torches stretched ahead, turning sharply to the right after just a few steps. Unlike the last chamber, which had been damp and veiled in mist, this one suffocated in a different way. The stench of waste and rotting filth clung to everything, thick enough to taste.

Ch 35 - The Goddess Hiding Behind The Veil

I wasn’t as interested in the result of the fight anymore.

Whatever the spell was meant to do - kill the spiders, vaporize the tunnel, summon something worse - I didn’t care. Not right now.

All I wanted was to know what that staff was. So I activated Guidance.

A familiar blue window flashed before my eyes, ...

Ch 34 - When Fire and Faith Intertwine

[Warning: Orrvyn has slain a soul belonging to another god.]
[Warning: You’ve gained 10 Divinity Points.]

I might be in serious trouble now.

Even if this brought consequences, there was little I could have done differently. The spiders had attacked my tribe. Standing by while they were slaughtered would’ve been no dif...

Ch 33 - The Prayer That Was Heard

“I swear my soul to your name,” Roy shouted, his voice trembling but firmer than ever. “I don’t want an afterlife! Use me. Use every part of me, but save my family. Please, High Father… please!”

Even before his final words left his lips, something stirred in my divine realm. And beside Tekla’s star, a second one ignited - cri...

Ch 32 - When The World Went Still

The moment Mirion laid eyes on the massive spider mutant, he broke into a full charge, carving through smaller ones as if they weren’t even there. His axe swung wide and fast, the crimson edge soaked in green blood by the time he reached the midpoint.

The giant spider finally noticed him, it's dark gray eyes darting upward, but by then, ...

Ch 31 - Then the Ground Moved

“He will protect us!” Mel shouted, standing her ground as the swarm of spider mutants charged. Her voice was small but unwavering, defiance burning in her eyes as she stared down the grotesque creatures that saw her as nothing more than an easy meal.

Even if it was blind faith, even if she'd been swept up in the tribe’s blin...

Ch 30 - To Be Worthy of His Grace

My gaze lingered on the sword, embedded in the ground, before shifting forward.

There were two thrones beyond it, both proud symbols of rule.

My gaze was instantly pulled toward the left one, sitting above a floor of drifting clouds, the same kind of mist as Window within my divine realm. 

It showed tens o...

Ch 29 - The Sword Awaits Above

Shit, I fell asleep.

The cold hit me first.

My soaked clothes, still damp from sweat and the fountain water, clung to my skin uncomfortably. The wall I’d slumped against didn’t help - its chill seeped straight into my bones, making the sensation even worse.

I stood up and stretched, rotating each joint slowly to ge...

Ch 28 - He Who Walks Among Gods

I won’t be able to dodge this.

My instincts screamed at me. Every part of my body wanted to curl in, to shield the vulnerable spots with my arms and brace for impact. But I forced that reflex down and kept running, eyes locked on the stone arc ahead. It wasn’t far. Just a few more steps. If I could reach it, I might have survi...

Ch 27 - The Chamber with Crimson Eye

I knew instantly I wouldn’t be able to block or dodge the creature’s charge. So instead, I used Phantom Step.

Black smoke burst around me as I vanished, reappearing a few steps away in the shadow of a nearby tree.

My hand reached instinctively for the hilt of my greatsword, tightly strapped across my back. The bl...

Ch 26 - Cruel Surprise

Hearing the strain in Aria’s voice, I chose not to approach.

She stood still, almost statue-like, her gaze still fixed on the inscription. For a moment, it was as though the runes had rooted her in place. Then she turned back toward us, her face once again composed as her usual calm returned.

“The inscription has changed,” she ...

Ch 25 - A Dungeon Not Yet Claimed

“If you truly are the blessed one,” he said, voice low and solid, “I have a request for you.”

“What request?” I asked, letting the tension in my shoulders ease. At least he wasn’t looking to start a fight.

“Help us exterminate the nest of these spiders,” he said, turning and calling out to someone behind him. “Ari...

Ch 24 - Voice of the God

I read the entire notification in an instant, my excitement pushing everything else aside.

So classes aren’t randomly assigned? Or was this just a coincidence?

Tekla, the one with the purest devotion, even stronger than Roy’s, ...

Ch 23 - A Smile Worth a Miracle

Seeing Huanir like that - helpless, bleeding, his eyes locked on me like I was the last flicker of light in a collapsing world, made me care more than I expected.

Maybe it was the five Divinity Points I’d spent on him. Or maybe it was because he reminded me of my cat.

Either way, I didn’t want him to die.

But I couldn’t a...

Ch 22 - Save Me

“Praise be to the God of Velmoryn!” I shouted, raising my voice as much as I could. I wasn’t trying to make a declaration of faith, I wanted attention. And I got it. Several heads turned, eyes locking onto me from across the battlefield.

I didn’t have the power to win this fight as I was. Huanir wasn’t coming. My blade couldn’t...

Ch 21 - When Monsters Collide

“Spider mutants. Many of them,” I said, tensing instinctively. “And they seem to be already fighting...”

Everyone froze.

For a heartbeat, no one moved. All eyes shifted to Teryo, waiting for the order.

But it wasn’t him who moved first.

It was Huanir.

A low growl built in his throat as he kicked off the di...

Ch 20 - The Price of Power

Aria’s expression turned bitter. She looked hesitant to say more, and for a moment, I felt a hint of regret through our connection.

“What do you mean by…” I started, wanting to push further, but she cut me off.

“Spells demand two things - mana flowing through the body, and emotion,” she said. “The more runes one learns,...

Ch 19 - Faith Has Its Favorites

“Thank the Goddess you’re alive,” Vaelari exclaimed, rushing to Teryo and slipping under his shoulder to help him in.

Teryo was still gasping for air. He glanced around the cave, and the moment his eyes landed on the Tharuun, the color drained from his face.

“W-what is that Tharuun doing here?” His voice was low, wary. He d...

Ch 18 - You Shall Protect Them

I can’t let him die.

Vaelari was the only healer the tribe had and I needed him alive, at least until someone else could take his place.

I glanced at Averon, still sleeping soundly. Unfortunately, divine power had no effect on him, or I’d have shaken the vessel awake already. I tried sensing part of my consciousness that...

Ch 17 - Echoes of a Fallen God

I held the crystal tightly, straining to force my mana into it.

The veins on my forehead bulged from the pressure. My face was flushed, almost feverish, but no matter how hard I tried, the mana inside me refused to respond.

“Aria,” I called out, still gripping the crystal, “how do I channel my mana into it?”

She didn’...

Ch 16 - Holding Heavy Memories

By the time we entered the forest, it was early afternoon. The sun was nearly at its peak, but the forest remained as dark and gloomy as ever. Towering trees blocked out most of the light, and the few beams that slipped through were thin and frail, their glow barely visible. Still, despite the dimness, the temperature was mild, and the damp smel...

Ch 15 - What Else She Left Behind

Everything tastes so bland without salt and spices, I grumbled, glancing around for something to wipe my greasy fingers on.

Velmoryns didn’t use napkins. Instead, they shared one large bowl of water to wash their hands. Just looking at it made me feel dirtier. No way was I sticking my fingers in that cesspool. So I walked all th...

Ch 14 - A Cold Deal

“You’re not Velmoryn,” Aria said, smirking.

I froze. Her smile didn’t help. If she decided to kill me, I wouldn’t be able to stop her, my vessel wasn’t strong enough.

Should I strike first? Use the element of surprise? 

I considered taking the initiative, but quickly brushed the idea off. If it came do...

Ch 13 - A Ritual for the Sun, A Gaze from the Moon

I looked around, making sure no one was watching. I was cautious, still on edge after what Aria had said - just as I tried to isolate myself and inspect the pouch, she approached and told me to find her later.

I didn’t know how, but I wanted to avoid that private discussion.

There’s not a single Velmoryn in this tribe I trust...
