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

Retribution Engine
I've been made aware that the discord link in my post-chapter plug is dead. Use this one until I fix it. Discord "The War of Fog is over. Every major city is under occupation. Now we prepare to take back our home." - Unknown Soldier The world's great heroes have slaughtered one another for the ideals of their countries, but the world keeps moving. The industrious nation of Ikesia lays still smoldering from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog, yet it stubbornly forges onward, shielded from further invasion by the impenetrable Blackwall. Its leader - the Sage of Fog - has disappeared, yet his influence is still felt everywhere, his plans and contingencies still in motion - even the Blackwall is said to be his last, desperate creation. New heroes have begun rising from the war of fog, and there is more need for them than ever. A towering foreigner has emerged from the desolate Exclusion Zone. She strides into the war-torn country without the intent to pick sides, but is soon forced to do so when the machinations of malevolent others collide with her own ego.

Falling
It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved. Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context. ... Author’s Note: I intend to release regularly, hopefully weakly, within the planned three arcs. However, it may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended. Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point. This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses. Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity, gore or traumatizing content. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others. Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different. If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations. I have not marked sexual content, since I do not intend to include explicit sexual acts. However, sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject. Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist.

Founding of Humanity - Animalist
This is the dawn of the age of mankind. It is time to push back the wilderness and establish the kingdoms and empires that will govern this land. Players, the elect of the gods, are now coming to help humanity fight back. The dark ages are ended, and now is the time to lay the foundation! Now is the time to establish civilization! This is the Founding of Humanity! I am building this world for my own amusement, releases are not on any kind of schedule. I got to thinking "what if a beast tamer was changed by what they tamed" and this game mechanic sprung to mind. I do not know where this story is going. The main character is becoming a skill hoarder, as that is an advantage of the class design. The game system in this story is insipred by Log Horizon and Sword Art Online, where you get a skill and that is the skill, instead of getting a skill and then leveling it through tiers and rankings.
