《(On Hold) Regarding my time being a God, it was fun》[Volume Two] Chapter 021
Advertisement
Alright guys, sorry for the delay. Apparently homework ain't friends T_T
I have news for ya... I decided that I'll do WEEKLY releases from now on, just temporarily so I can balance out my schedule a little bit.
The chapters of each week would be longer, that I can afford, and if I have time I'll do 2 chapters a week.
Again, sorry for that, but that's the best I can do for now.
Headache (3)
Mobilizing his 100,000 troops, Bagdur prepared for battle at Ralph's sanctuary.
Originally, these 100,000 were intended to be sacrifices, but since they're all S-rank criminals, Bagdur decided to put them to proper use on the battle field.
By using [Temporary Materialization], he gave them their physical bodies for a fixed amount of them.
In fact, it would just be enough to bombard Ralph's place with time to spare.
Making up excuses like "Ralph's taking advantage of the Artifact", Bagdur dodged a few bullets from the Eastern Holy Land.
He knows that around this time of the millennium is when the True Moon month draws near.
The Eastern Holy Land needs to pay extreme attention to Zoras' seals, so they'll overlook Bagdur's business.
His plan of using the Stellar God as a scapegoat isn't completely lost, the meteorite cannot be proved to has been invoked by Bagdur.
Though he knows he's dancing in Stellar God's hand voluntarily now, he plans to flip the table on that man the moment he lays his hands on the Fortune Artifact.
With only one Golden Key, chances of summoning Zoras is almost impossible.
But there's the word "almost", and there's the Fortune Artifact.
As long as it's not 0%, the Fortune Artifact will make it happen.
Through time, Bagdur developed a mind control spell that might work on Zoras.
Again, there's the "might", and there's the Fortune Artifact.
Thus, if he has the artifact in his hand, he'll be able to control Zoras and climb the hierarchy of the Gods.
With that in mind, Bagdur started his plan and moved towards Ralph's land.
He could've march the army, but that would attract too much attention.
That said, Bagdur decided to spend more points and transposed the whole 100,000 troops.
Originally, he doesn't need that many troops to raid a D-rank God...
But somehow Bagdur felt strange fighting that God named Ralph.
(Hmm... he mastered the use of essence... I don't know how that's possible, but I can't be careless)
Thus all 100,000 were mobilized and transposed.
They appeared in the sky of the small sanctuary and...

「What... the fuck...? 」
Before them was a floating island.
Not high enough to be called a sky city, but it wasn't on the ground either.
A flying piece of land with a magnificent temple built on it.
There were houses around the temple.
Around the body of the floating island were magic circles that has shooting range of a half sphere.
These things would roast anything coming with hostility.
And on the island, in front of the temple were 5 individuals.
From the left, an Arch Demon woman, a Priest dressed in ancient religions clothing, the God Ralph himself, Arch Goddess Amel, and lastly, at the very right, a huge Knight clad in black armor, a gigantic sword and a shield hung on his back.
Above them were an army of around 20,000 angels with Holy spears and valkyries' weapons equipped.
(Tch... Amel huh... I'll deal with you after this...)
「Attack!!!」
Given the order, Bagdur's army of 100,000 S-rank criminals clashed head on with those 5 individuals and the 20,000 angels.
The angels were on par with his troops.
But the 5 individuals were mowing them down like plucking weeds.
Bagdur's face twisted in discomfort.
(What thel hell happened in 3 days?)
***
Hahahahaha... ! ! !
Look at his face, oh my self, look at (scum)Bag-kun's face.
He's staring at Von and Ana with a face that you'd make when you know you screwed up somewhere.
They're chopping down his troops with never seen before magic.
Why? Because they came from games, I don't know about Von, but Ana is completely something new to Bagdur.
And then my new guardian, Mr.Rhodes, Ancient King with Job Dark Knight, and no, he didn't pick that job because his parents were murdered.
This guy is a hybrid tank-dps, he's solo-ing 10 guys at a time up there with flight magic.
You just normally don't fight a freaking [Legend]-grade Dungeon boss like him, unless you're an Elder Lich with a golden staff.
That aside, how did it turn out like this?
Let's rewind again, bedtime stories are good, so please bear with it.
3 Days Ago
「Then what are you going to do? 」
「What do you mean? 」
「How are you going to fight that army of 100,000 souls? 」
Even if you asked me like that, I could only answer "somehow"...
「Well... I have my tricks, I'll pull it off one way or another 」
I'm not dumb enough to just reveal my hand to a stranger, even if she's an ally.
Strong enemies ain't that scary compared to double-faced allies.

Besides, I'll get my Menu back shortly, the only problem would be Points.
Where the hell do I earn a whole chunk of Points in 3 days?
「Sigh... you have a weird aura, I know you've got some strange powers with you... but you won't escape the ranking rule. With your current ranking, you can't just access all of your powers right? Well... not that I know what kind of powers do you have though... 」
Ehh... isn't that kind of correct...
Again, reliable secretary-san.
According to Ori, she can open up my powers a bit more if she merges with the Menu and become something completely different.
I look forward to that... and by the way, if Amel's standing here... she also uses a homunculus?
I though I'm the only one using homunculus.
I see. That's one way to avoid materialization and lose 80% of powers...
「Then... what do you mean by saying that? 」
「According to the stories I heard from humans, this should be the time for the main character to beg the heroine for cooperation right? You're going wrong from the generic scripts... 」
And why the hell are you pouting?
I'm not a fucking hero, woman...
If my life gets turn into a story with me as a protagonist, it'd be a complete joke, people would laugh at me and my secret flirts with my mikos.
So please, whoever watching me, do not turn this into a story... I beg you...
「I'm done being scripted... 」
I'm talking to YOU, Fortune woman, goddamn it...
「...but according to what you just said, we should shake hands? 」
「Actually, we MUST do that. Light Origin told me that I need to make sure you don't lose...」
Whoa... Ori-chan is mad... I'm so not going to pry into this...
「...if the Artifact falls into the hands of Bagdur, it's utterly bad. Besides, I do have plans to form a Coalition with you in the future, your place can be used as a port for exporting goods to Twilight city, and from that, your land would have more chance to prosper, that's if you know how to hold onto the chances 」
Hmm... she's kind of right.
If I freaking make a whole dungeon there, and have adventurers buy tickets to challenge it.
Then open weapon shops, armor shops, even inns, merchant shops and all that...
Then if a branch of the Guild is made there to escort carriages... I can see that's possible.
「How do I know that you're not suspicious? 」
「I can't prove that, but if you lose to Bagdur then this whole world is done anyway... I don't want to die, I don't think you want to die... Fortune Origin and Dark Origin both went missing, if Zoras rises, we're all dead, that's all... 」
Err... so it's the situation where I'm not sure I can win and I need to pick two routes...
If I decline this, death flag raised, we're all dead, there's no Save/Load Game button...
If I say OK let's shake hands, good end is reached, there might be hidden R18 scenes with the heroine, who is Amel, I should even raise ecchi-flags.............. NO!!
Wait wait wait wait !
Why the hell am I thinking like an eroge... this is the reason why my life shouldn't be turned into a novel... people are going to laugh at this God who tries to play an eroge when his land is attacked.
Anyways... I'm not a strategist, but I don't think we should decline this either.
I'm not sure about how to earn a crap ton of Points to protect my lands in 3 days.
「Alright... we'll raise fla—No, I mean, let's shake hands and become allies 」
Geez... that was damn close...
「Okay~ Then it's decided 」
After that, using Amel's transposition magic, we were back at my sanctuary.
The people I transported into the forest to dodge that meteorite safely returned due to them being beast race.
They're good with directions inside a forest.
The elves were fine thanks to Ana's effort.
There were injuries, but no casualties.
Von hasn't returned, but he'll be here soon.
Even the pregnant female Night Hunter was alright. That's a relief.
Now what's left is Leila. Let's dip our hands into business right away.
「Then, how are you going to help me, Amel? 」
「Call your Menu up 」
「Well... I can't right now... but tomorrow I'll be able to 」
「Hmm... then it can't be helped, well talk about how we'll proceed first then 」
「OK then what do have in mind 」
「I know we'll need a huge amount of Points... so I'll use [Transfer] to give you fund」
W-wait a minute... we can give Points?
Then...
「Hey, wait a minute, you have a whole Empire right? You have a crap ton of Points right? 」
「Err... yeah, I have around 2 billion... 」
Oh shiiiit... that's a huge number...
「Hey, we're sitting right on top of the Fortune Artifact right now right?」
「Yeah... what of it? 」
「Wanna bet with me and make a gamble?」
「Oh? Interesting... 」
Alright, now we're doing business.

Author: The flashback continues on next chapter. Sorry for doing this, but I'm running a bit short on time.

Necromancer and Co.
In a time before the existence of the present, the gods decided to create a plane of existence where all their creations could exist in the same place. In it, all would be fair, and all gaps between races and technological advancements could be crossed with a single system that the gods had created. Every year, the gods would choose a new race to put in their land, and in this new group of beautifully unlucky people, Alen, his friends, and a few people from Earth have finally met their turn to be tossed into the playground of the gods. Unfortunately though, Alen was thrust into a forest of corpse-eating bears and horribly smelly undead on his first day, one of the many danger-zones of the continent the gods had chosen to throw them in. It would be easy to say that he simply died within the first day, or that he'd starved to death or whatever, but let's be honest... That story would be no fun to tell, yes? (Re-write of my first fiction with the same name.)
8 474ICOMO ODYSSEY
Jonathan Vélo never expected to be famous. Not for riding his bike all the way around the continent of Icomo. Every adult knows his story, and children learn about him at school. This, however, is the first and only biography written about that great man with foreigners in mind. We, his biographers, imagine they will be immensely grateful. Of course, readers will find the people of Icomo an unusual sort for glorifying a young man who did nothing more than quit his job and ride his bike from town to town, city to city… But in an age of robots and computers, when little escapes the notice of the historian, there is a quiet epic to be told. It is the epic of cozy nights in a tent below the stars, of warm wind and ocean waves. It is also the epic of missing old friends in faraway places, and that feeling of needing to make life mean something. *** ‘ICOMO ODYSSEY’ is a nostalgic slice-of-life adventure about a utopian sci-fi land. No clever villains or epic fights here. Just cozy pleasures, charming towns and villages, interesting cultures, and the people who live in them… This story will update bi-weekly on Friday and Saturday. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/467210/icomo-odyssey/
8 134A bored boy looking for reason

While going by his boring normal day as usual reading his novels, he is suddenly enveloped in a white light. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first story that I write if you don't count school and such. The grammar should not be too bad but English is not my main language so no haters pls.
8 64The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
