Ch 10 - Heir to Two Bloodlines

“Why not stay the night and leave at dawn?” I asked Roy as we stepped out of the ruin. It was midnight, and the silence that settled over the forest felt heavier now, like the trees themselves were holding their breath.

“If we’re late to return, the tribe may send a search party. I’d rather they not cross paths with Kurraghal,” he replied, without looking.

I noticed he was keeping a bit of distance between us. And while the priestess’s staff was strapped securely to ...

Ch 9 - Built to Survive the Grind

“Status Window.”

I willed for it to appear, and to my surprise, it didn’t show up in front of the vessel, but instead surfaced within my “divine kingdom”.

So, only I can see this screen? Or why did it appear here?

It wasn’t a trivial observation. If I was correct, no one could peek into my vessel’s information.

It also meant that Velmoryn’s had some unique way of checking their ranks, because I clearly remembered that Aria knew about R...

Ch 8 - The Faceless Inheritance

I willed for the Window to move closer to the body as I needed to take a better look. There was a strange pull between us, something deeper than simple curiosity. Not just a connection, but familiarity.

It was unmistakably a Velmoryn. I could tell by the pointed ears, the pale, garish skin, and the unnaturally tall frame. But the details, the small, defining features that give a person identity… they were missing.

It was faceless.

Its long gray hair draped loosely over the...

Ch 7 - When the Forest Bows

Roy and the rest of the party froze in place. Their breathing quieted. Even their heartbeats seemed to still. Every movement stopped as they tried to merge with the environment. Clearly, it was an attempt to deceive whatever threat was approaching.

I wonder what's coming that has them this scared.

I considered moving my vision ahead, but leaving Roy and his party outside my field of view wasn’t something I was willing to risk.

I didn’t care much if some of them ...

Ch 6 - Hunting Party In Trouble

Towering trees cast long, dark shadows, their dull colors forming a somber canvas. One that was unexpectedly brought to life by patches of vibrant, unfamiliar flora. I had never seen plants like these before. Then again, I had spent most of my previous life surrounded by concrete towers and crowded sidewalks, lost in the forest of skyscrapers and glass.

Roy, with his high perception and scouting instincts, led the group from the front. The party moved in a diamond formation, each corner...

Ch 5 - A Duel & Oak Guardian

The Velmoryns quickly formed a wide circle, giving Roy and Jira space. The two of them moved slowly, circling each other like predators trying to assess their opponent’s strength before attacking.

At first, I thought this would be more like a sparring match, fight until someone got knocked out or surrendered, but my initial impression was changing quickly.

The first move came from Jira.

With a sudden, subtle flick of his hand, he hurled a dagger at Roy. His movement was so...

Ch 4 - Ranking Up

As soon as the status window appeared, I immediately dove into it like an addicted gamer. I was excited about my New Rank, new Title, bunch of Divinity Points and believers… all these numbers and information literally decided how my life would go after all.

The first thing I focused on was my rank - Nascent God. 

What does that mean? I wondered and barely had time to proc...

Ch 3 - Roy

First, I wanted to confirm if he was worth the trouble.

“Status Window”

Bronze? I felt disappointed as soon as I saw his rank but decided to check the rest of his stats anyway.

He had no title or class yet, which meant that once he obtained them, his attributes would increase even further. Unlike Aria, Roy was clearly physically oriented. His body was stronger, however...

Ch 2 - Aria

The flood of notifications hit immediately.

[Congratulations, you have created your first statue.]
[Congratulations, you have created your first guardian.]
[Congratulations, you have gained 25 new believers and 25 Divinity Points.]
[Congratulations, you have earned a new title.]
[…]

I barely had time to process everything before I realized I could feel the Velmoryns now.

A connection was faint, but it was definitely there. I checked, and their markings had chan...

Ch 1 - The Beginning

If you were given the power of a GOD, what would you do?

…

Well, before I get into my story, I should probably introduce myself. My name’s Brian - Brian Verde. I didn’t have much of a profession or a life, for that matter. I did study law in college as part of a dream of solving injustice, but shortly realized it wasn’t for me. Then I tried web development… Smooth transition, huh? 

Long story short, I ended up as a lonely freelancer-slash-inf...
