《(On Hold) Regarding my time being a God, it was fun》[Volume Two] Chapter 018
Advertisement
Well, surprise, people!! Have you all forsaken me? If you have not then Ralph-sama has already given you a blessing...
Anyway, I have to say that the releases would slow down guys.
I was busy (gambling) during Chinese New Year and ended up procrastinated a ton of homework T-T
I'll have to slow down a lot because of work and school XD
Just a quick reminder: If one were to expect excellent writing skills or professional planned plots, etc. then you're actually in the wrong place. I'm making everything up as I go, so there won't be anything too crazy to expect, you may or may not reconsidering about following this series after reading this reminder... That's all! Thank you.
Transaction
We came close to the Empire after 1 day.
I must say that running through the forest at night felt too lonely.
Probably I was just not in the mood to enjoy the fantasy forest scene at night, but it felt rather sad to be alone running like an idiot...
That's just my honest thoughts, but I'll admit that the Moon was brilliantly beautiful.
It was purple instead of white.
According to Ori-chan, there are 4 months in this world with each having 90 days in it.
And each time the new month comes, the Moon changes color.
We're currently in the second month, the Violet Moon.
The first month is Blue Moon, third is Scarlet Moon, and forth is Golden Moon.
But every 1,000 years there'll be a Fifth Month, True Moon.
It's pretty complicated to explain about this, so let's leave it for another day.
Oh! Nice!
I know you're a reliable lady, Ori-san.
Let's connect us right away, please...
「Yes, you called, my God...」
「Von, did you find anything?」
「My apologies, I am still in the process of inspecting the Sanctuary」
「That's fine, no need to rush too much, but be fast anywhere you can. I'm heading towards the Utopia of Souls, so when you're done, immediately return and help Ana, she'll explain everything」
「Roger. Then about the Utopia of Souls, Ralph-sama, I suggest going in from the West Gate, the access there is easier」
「Got it, thank you. I'll be off now」
「Yes. I wish you success」
Alright, now, please explain, Ori-chan.
WHAT?
There's a fucking chance of success???
You didn't say anything about that!
Goddamn it...anyway...what if we fail?
Sigh. How much?
What do you mean?
I see.
By the way, how the hell did you get so much information?
Where's your source?
Right, right...

Let's think about our plan once again.
We arrive, we try to summon Leila, figure out where she is, then we'll deal with that.
About the jamming on my powers, damn...I don't know...
Leila soul was abducted at the same time with when the interference took place.
These two problems must be connected somehow.
I have a feeling that when we find her, we'll obtain an important piece to solve this shitty puzzle.
But at the same time...
My guts also told me that this is a rather troublesome, and dangerous task...
「The Utopia of Souls huh...what kind of headache would be waiting for me this time...」
Ahhhh!!!
I'm so taking a big nap after all this is done.
Going out to find more headache like this isn't my way of life at all...
But then again, what can you do about it.
A God, as a man, doesn't let his miko get kidnapped and just laughs it off like nothing happened at all.
That, I won't allow...
***
A soul is originally just a thick gathering of energy, it cannot last long in the mortal world.
Thus, after taking Aliel (Leila) away from the mortal body, which was her safety seal, Bagdur left her in the Utopia of Souls.
God of Underworld Rhunan, the owner of this sanctuary, is a man with a merchant heart.
He'd let people do as they please in his Sanctuary, as long as they pay accordingly.
With that, Bagdur pulled out a few interesting things from his Menu and have Rhunan prepare a special cell for Leila's soul, Aliel Luxuria.
「To think that you destroyed my room and made me leave you here...what a scary bride I have...」
「Don't dirty my name with that disgusting word coming from your trash mouth...」
「Haha...cold as always~」
The Utopia of Souls have 2 separate sections.
The Northern half is for stray soul that couldn't find their way to resurrection.
The Southern half is a prison for criminals, in short, a place where immortal monsters are caged to all eternity.
Aliel is being held in the Southern half since this place has especially high level of security.
Rhunan is a man of promises, he'll satisfy your request if you pay as promised, thus this place was funded my many Gods in the past to have Rhunan make it the most trusted prison where breaking out is totally out of question.
With that said, even buying prisoners would be allowed if you have enough payment.
「Then how about this?」

「Hmm...10,000,000 Points is truly a big amount, but Bagdur-dono...you know who we are talking about in this transaction, right?」
「You are right, I think 10 million Points you can earn easily with the amount of souls inhabiting this place...then...how about we adding 3 zeros...」
As a God who reigns his sanctuary in the gigantic city of Twilight, Bagdur can be said to be a "rich God".
The amount of people stopping by to pray, as well as people believe in him, within the city is absurdly many.
There was once in the past, a period of time when Bagdur could even earn 100,000 Points each day just with the most basic daily points.
But for this big plan, he's been preparing points for more than a millennium.
A number with 10 zeros in it would blur the eyes of any mortal merchant...but not Rhunan.
「I'm afraid I have to repeat myself, Bagdur-dono...you're buying 100,000 souls of Fallen Angels, Exiled Angels, Demons, and Dark Lords...this list contains 90% of SS-rank criminals who have been sentenced to all eternity...」
「...fair enough, then please, go ahead and state your conditions, Rhunan-dono...」
「Then please excuse me freely speaking...」
...
「Oh? Interesting...」
A devious smile was visible on Bagdur's face as he listens to Rhunan.
***
We'll quickly arrive at the Utopia of Souls in another half a day.
I also received a report from Von a few hours ago.
According to him, the Sanctuary in the Empire was a flower garden, the Goddess Amel wasn't there when he arrived.
It seemed like she left the managing to her disciples and left for a trip to somewhere else.
During the free visit time, Von has successfully infiltrated deeper inside than his shadow minions and inspected the place a bit more before leaving to head home.
He said that, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary there, it was a clump of buildings of churches and orphan schools around the Garden.
The royal castle wasn't really near, but messengers do go back and forth between the two places.
There was but one thing that Von found it strange.
The offering table.
It was made from sapphire but the transparency didn't let people see through.
But to Von, who can sense divinity, he knows there's something inside that table.
He said it was more like a coffin than an offering table.
Yesterday, Von was also able to eavesdrop an argument between a messenger and a guard Angel.
They were arguing about letting this messenger into the sanctuary of Amel.
Surprisingly, this lady was sent by Bagdur to visit the sanctuary and have a talk with Amel.
But she wasn't there to begin with, so the messenger lady wasn't allowed in...
Which was strange, even if Amel wasn't there, visiting shouldn't have been prohibited, right?
There must be something going on between these two Gods...
Well...Bagdur's from the side of the Kingdoms, while Amel is monopolizing a whole Empire...
It wouldn't be too strange if these two had fire sparks between their gazes.
But what made me feel strange is that, what does a guy like Bagdur want from Amel?
As an Arch Goddess, her powers belong to the balanced system of jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
She shouldn't have anything valuable enough to intrigue a God of Sorcery who makes mad-scientist's shit...
Probably that offering table is a serious business...
There's only more and more headache if I keep thinking about people's business all the time...let's stop right there and focus on our goal first.
Though I only have 5 skills using Essence, I think I can fight pretty well with this newly materialized body.
It doesn't have any limits a human has, meaning that I can spin my wrist 360° or do the same with my head.
I can pull off martial arts moves that no ordinary beings can do.
I still am a God, so my god senses are still there, plus the use of essence, I can almost stop the movements of the world within my field of perceptive vision.
Oh yeah, I was wondering about why did I materialize instead of turning back to being invisible after awakening as God of Origins.
Ori-chan said that, after a quick analysis of the situation, she concluded that this Homunculus body is more compatible than returning to be a divine being.
The reason for that is, when I'm in my spiritual body, chances of me getting caught by a Soul Binding spell and become useless are absurdly high...which makes sense.
But if she merged me into this homunculus, judging the quality of the ore made up this body, I'll become immune to Soul Binding system magics.
Plus, my thinking speed will be boosted to a certain extent by Ori-chan.
With this, I can deal with problems along the way, if there's any.
Preparations are always good for a trip full of headache.
Alright.
Let's head straight to that soul gathering party and take Leila home, well kind of, since we're just trying to ask where she is at the moment...
But anyway, speed up!

The Cursed Heart
Kayden was six months old when the doctor found the curse in his heart. From then on, his life was a struggle to keep it locked away and dormant and above all secret, dreading the day that it would finally break free and wreak havoc. Now he’s fourteen, and that day has come. Things look bad, but there’s hope — the world’s most prestigious magical school is willing to take him in, keep him safe, and pay his legal fees to avoid bankrupting his family. Most importantly, they can teach him to control his curse, to avoid ever hurting anyone else. It sounds far too good to be true, but what other option does he have? Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn’t understand. But he’d better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known. ----------------------- Want to read ahead?

As Sally uncovers more about her situation, she finds that she has to be smart and tough and that in this place she needs to depend on her friends, who are using her as much as she is using them. This book contains themes concerning life, death, and body functions, light swearing, minimal nakedness, and should be suitable for most. Some pertinent info: Ten Thousand Sallys is a complete novel of approximately 140 pages in 20 chapters. Around 80,000 words. not too long, and maybe too short. Give it a read and let me know your opinion.
