Apostle of the Gods Chapter 25

Chapter 25
As I ran after Milt- Arti, RunRun, Fluffy and Xenovia followed suit .
Before they left the room, Milt and Xenovia covered their face with the hood .
As soon as it was worn, their presence became weaker . That’s quite the magic tool .
Milt ran straight to the medical office .
「Wheeze, wheeze」Milt started gasping for breath .
「Don’t overdo it」
「I can handle this much」
Milt slowed down following Xenovia’s concern .
After catching his breath, Milt offered me the same coat he and Xenovia were wearing .
「If they saw Will, they might fall into a state of panic」
「I suppose that’s right, thank you very much」
While wearing the coat, I said
「Arti, RunRun, and Fluffy, stay hidden」
「Understood」
「Woof」「Pigi」
Arti met the scions when she came to escort me at the mansion of the Wolms main family .
If I entered the room together with Arti, RunRun and Fluffy, the scions will surely notice my identity .
Having confirmed that Arti and the rest have hidden themselves, Milt said, “Excuse me” and entered the medical room .
The doctor looked our way and bowed .
He seems to be a member of the Salvation Organization, so of course, he would be aware of Xenovia and Milt’s presence .
Danan and Ivan were lying on the bed .
They were awake but they seem to be grumbling as though trapped in a nightmare .
It also looks like they have lost their sanity altogether .
Milt used natural gestures to cast sanity magic on the scions .
「Danan, Ivan, it’s truly unfortunate that you weren’t able to participate in the exam」
「…Yes」「Unfortunately so」
They completely changed from how they were a second ago, and responded in a calm manner .
And, they had no spirit in the response either . I don’t feel any willpower at all from them .
「Even for the school, it is a loss to send home candidates with four pillars like you, without even having the chance to take the exam」

The Wolms brothers expressed eyes full of hope in response to Milt’s words .
「Would you like to measure how much love value you possess at the high-performance measuring device in this school?」
「So, if the love value is high…」
「Of course it will be the decisive factor in deciding your success」
「Thank you very much」
Both Danan and Ivan seemed to have gained some spirit back in them .
Undoubtedly, they believe that they will pass by producing a high love value .
「Well then, both of you follow me」
「Yes」「I got it」
Both Danan and Ivan moved forward with heavy steps . They were wobbling .
It may be the cause of being stabbed by life-threatening poison bugs .
No matter how much healing magic is used to save one’s life, it will definitely take a huge toll on the physical strength .
Because of that, neither of them noticed me at all .
After walking a while, we arrived at the room where I measured my love value the other day .
Milt said in a business manner without giving any detailed explanation .
「Touch this sphere . You can both do it at the same time」
「「Yes」」
Danan and Ivan touched the sphere of the measuring device .
For a moment, the magic circles around us shone brightly . With that, the measuring came to an end .
Surely the time I went to the World of Gods might have only taken this long on this side .
「Splendid . I will contact you later regarding the result . Good job」
「Thank you very much」
Saying so, the scions left the room .
「Milt, what was the result?」,asked Xenovia curiously .
「…Umu . Both of them have lost their guardian deity」
「It’s not the case of value going down but rather the guardian deity themselves are gone? Is that even possible?」,said Xenovia a little confused .

「This is the first I’m seeing such a case too . However, undoubtedly the guardian deities are gone . To put it simply, the love value is 0」
「From having four pillars, to suddenly being left with only the Human God… You reap what you sow I suppose」
Xenovia nodded her head as if that’s the case, but Milt shakes his head in disagreement .
「That’s not exactly correct」
「Mu? What’s not correct? This is clearly them paying for their mistakes」
「I’m not denying that . I’m saying, they don’t even have the divine blessing of the Human God」
「…Even though they’re humans?」
「Even though they’re humans . That is why I don’t understand this case either」
Milt and Xenovia started to think with a serious look on their face .
「How many cases of love value decreasing are there?」 I asked Milt .
「There are very rare cases of where the love value has decreased and increased… but there were no cases of love value dropping to 0」
「Hmm? Milt, Xenovia, do you understand what it means?」
Since there were only the three of us in this place, I addressed them casually .
But moving forward, I should get used to addressing them respectfully even when this is the case .
「I do not understand」 「I’m ashamed to admit I don’t either」
「I see, please activate the measuring device then」
As I addressed them respectfully, Milt seems to have grasped my intentions .
His tone changed to that of speaking to a student .
「…I don’t mind, but… what exactly do you plan to do?」
「I am thinking of directly asking the Human God」
If you don’t understand, then you should just ask directly .
I confirmed that Milt had activated the measuring device, and placed my hand on the sphere of the device .
………………
…………

「Ah, Will-chan, you came back」
It was the Goddess who met me, in other words the Human God .
「I don’t have much time . So, I will be straightforward」
「What?」
「The divine blessings on my cousins are apparently gone, is there such a thing?」
「Of course there is . It does not take much work to strip the divine blessing I granted」
「Even though they are human?」
「Of course, right?」,said the Human God carelessly .
「Certainly, my cousins were a piece of shit, but there are a lot worse pieces of shit in this world」
Unfortunately, there are lots of pieces of shit that go way beyond my cousins .
「The gods are looking over Earth, but they are not so interested in relation to the individuals themselves」
「I already knew that but, it is as irresponsible as ever」
「But gods are not almighty…」
I also knew that .
They just happened to be watching me and were overwhelmed by my cousins’ actions, so they removed the divine blessing .
That must have been the case .
「That’s not right . The one who stripped the divine blessings on your cousins, was you, Will-chan」
The Goddess just said something astonishing .

Guardian's Folly, Dryad's Melancholy
With a life of retail getting him down, Cormac had long looked forward to his vacation of spending all week hiking in the woods. Accidentally saving a dryad and getting dragged into hidden world of magic brought that to an abrupt end. Ixia the dryad had been thrown into a long slumber, awoken by a kind man that she formed a fast bond with. She would need all the help she could get to reclaim her forest from sinister forces that had ruled her forest for ages in her absence. As both work together, they will find neither world is what they had thought. A modern world with magic lurking at the edges, and a hidden world of magic stretching the limits of "hidden". A dryad begins the slow path towards understanding the world she has awoken to as she tries to reclaim her forest, and a guardian wishes he had more than a shovel to help with all that.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
