Second World Chapter 26

"You are a Goddess?" He blurted out towards the lady in white.
"That I am," she answered calmly.
He never expected to meet a God or Goddess this early. Other VR RPG games also had their own Gods and Goddesses. Usually, to encounter such a being would require tremendous luck or they had to go through long and grueling quests, because such beings were the highest tiered NPC in a game. Thus, meeting one here was extremely unexpected for him.
"For the second gift, I will bestow you a special equipment," she made a hand gesture, a black metallic ball the size of a watermelon materialized. She grabbed it and offered it to Jack.
"I can't give you any rare tiered equipment, but I can give you this specialized equipment," she said. "You will be able to choose the form you want with it, but take note that you can only choose once. After the equipment takes form, it can't be changed anymore. This equipment is special as it can be grown. As long as you feed it with the same type of equipment, it can continue to get stronger. And it can also inherit the rarity of the equipment it fed, and also their skills. You can experiment on it to better learn its usage."
Jack received the ball. It was very light despite its size. He could almost do not feel any weight from it. He inspected it using his God-eye Monocle.
Seed of Thousand Forms (Special consumable)
Choose 1 type of equipment to transform the seed into, will become growth-type equipment.
A holographic word appeared above the ball. It was written ACTIVATE.
He was just about to click on the word before he was interrupted by the Goddess.
"You can apply the transformation later," she said. "I will present you with the last gift."
Damn, are you really in such a hurry? He complained in his mind.
"For my last gift, I will bestow you with knowledge and guidance."
Another vague gift, Jack thought within.
The Goddess uttered a chant in an undecipherable language and twirled her hands in the air. Shining lines appeared out of nowhere and they intertwined to form a runic symbol that was hanging in the air.

Wow, the Goddess offered such a display before this last gift was presented. It must be a high-quality gift!
The Symbol twisted and transformed into a black hole. The hole radiated an aura that caused Jack to suffocate. He had to take a few steps back before he was freed from the effect. The hole turned into a bright light that formed a humanoid shape. The light shattered and reveal a tiny girl with two pairs of pink-color dragonfly wings. Her arms and legs were bare, while her body was wrapped with a red dress that followed after the color of her short hair.
A fairy? Jack stared at the floating creature in confusion. What did it have to do with knowledge?
The fairy bowed to the Goddess and said in a respectful tone, "Greetings, Exalted One. Is there anything this humble servant can provide?"
The Goddess gestured towards Jack, "you will accompany Mr. Storm Wind here and provide him with counsel and guidance. You are not allowed to leave his side until otherwise commanded by him or me. Is this understood?"
"Yes, my Grace," the fairy made another bow. "I shall carry out your command."
So she was giving me a tour guide, Jack thought. Not bad. Hopefully, the Fairy could help him figure out how to get back to the real world.
"Now that everything's settled, I shall take my leave," the goddess said.
"Wait, wait!" Jack hurriedly called out again. Why were you in such a hurry, sister? Do you have an appointment somewhere?
"Is there anything else you need, Mr. Storm Wind?" The goddess said with a hint of annoyance.
"There is a very strong monster outside. I almost lost my life getting past it to come in here. I will have to go back out again. Can you help me get rid of it? Ask it to go somewhere, or at least command it not to attack me? It will be a pity if I get killed accidentally on my way out."
The Goddess looked in the direction of the door. She said, "although I'm a Goddess, that creature out there is of the dark force. I hold no sway over it. And due to the rule implied by the Ultimate Creator, we are not allowed to interfere directly under normal circumstances. So, you will have to deal with that monster yourself."

Jack was depressed after hearing it. He thought he could get an easy way out with the help of this Goddess. Guess he had to play tag again with the Lizardman. Shouldn't be too difficult. The other door was not locked, so long as he could reach the other door, he should be fine.
"However," the Goddess continued. "I could bless you with a boost for a limited time. A small temporary favor like this was not against the rule."
She twirled her hands again. Another series of lights appeared and wrapped around Jack's body. There was a layer of luminous coating on top of his skin, as if he was wearing a half-visible full-body suit. He felt powerful energy resting in his body. He felt lighter, and all his fatigue was gone. He felt energetic. He opened his status window and found a temporary skill under his skill window.
Godly Might (Temporary passive skill)
Duration: 1 hour
Grant 100% increase to all attributes.
Increase damage by 100%.
All damage received reduced by 70%
Regenerate 10 HP each second.
Increase Stamina/MP regeneration by 300%
All skills' cooldown decreased to 50%
Hot damn! He exclaimed in his mind, with this boost, he was practically invincible. Unless of course, if the opponent was way higher in level.
"Well, if there is no other issue, you will have to excuse me," the Goddess said.
"Wait, wait!" Jack interjected.
"What now?" A more obvious hint of annoyance could be heard from the Goddess' tone.
"Well, I really not sure what I should be doing next. Since you are a Goddess, can you give me any hint about what I should do or where I should go? I must say that I'm absolutely clueless here."
The Goddess looked at him intently, as if she could peer into his soul.
"You are already level 10," she said. "Oh? You have another class? How is that possible?"
Jack was astonished. It seemed the Goddess could perceive his data just like his God-Eye monocle.
"I got the second class from a Legendary item called Second Soul Remnant," he informed.
"Second Soul Remnant? I have no knowledge of such a thing. Could it be…" The Goddess was lost in thought.
Jack waited patiently, expecting the Goddess to give him some directions. Instead, after she came back from her thought, she just looked at him and said, "since you are already level 10. The others should not be far behind. You will receive your clues soon."
"Others?" Jack was confused.
"I will leave now. Take care. If you become stronger, our path will cross again." The Goddess' feet left the ground and she started floating slowly.
"But…" Jack was about to protest, but the Goddess' body started to turn translucent rapidly, and in the end, she vanished completely from the room.
Jack looked around.
"Crap!" He cursed. "She left just like that."
He felt a sharp tap at the back of his head, he turned around and saw the Fairy.
"You were very rude considering who you talked to," she reprimanded. "Don't you know she is one of the almighty Goddesses? She could turn you into a frog if she desired. You are lucky she was in a good mood."
"Of course she was, I just saved her life after all." Jack talked back.
The Fairy flew above his head and made another hard slap.
"Ouch!"
"You dare disrespect me as well? Don't you know how lucky you are to have me as a companion?"
"I will doubt it if you keep hitting me like that."
"Hmph!" She folded her hands and turned away from him.
Arrgh...! What did I get here? He thought in his mind. It seemed he never got any good luck in meeting new people since he came to this game world. The first guy he met died just seconds after, the second guy lasted a few more hours. The third and fourth person ended up wanted to kill and rob him. The fifth person turned up to be an NPC, a Goddess some more, who left as abruptly as she appeared. The last one was a moody fairy.
Well, as they said, beggars couldn't be choosers.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
