CHAPTER THREE
Status is determined by the gods, but mine is...
~
Achievements weren’t the only thing that everyone could see
Saying ‘status’ would reveal your status screen quickly
There you’d see your title, class, and status all quantified
And a divine message meant to fill you up with pride
The message and the stats all changed as your achievements grew
Sometimes there could even be a few gods watching you
Gods and goddesses would pick a child to watch over
Like a guardian angel or some divine helper
Twig’s own father once received advice from gods of fire
That let him cast a hundred balls of flame and never tire
His mother had the blessing of the goddess of the sword
And all his sisters had gods by which they were all adored
Twig had yet to learn the identity of his watcher
It was strange but he assumed they’d be revealed later
He asked his friends one day to share the statuses they’d earned
And twig was more than just slightly surprised by what he learned

A dainty girl comparable to an elven priestess
To say the least she’s just as fair as any known goddess
Even the ground would hesitate to touch a girl so fair
That is why she tends to favour floating through the air
His friends all had amazing blessings from their deities
Recognized achievements which they seemed to earn with ease
Their achievements boosted all their stats in different ways
Some of them got new blessings every three or four days
But when he looked back at his own his tears began to fall
None of his base stats had ever been boosted at all
His class and titles seemed more like a joke than a blessing
And his divine advice was was definitely the worst thing

He should do his chores while being quiet as a mouse
