《Flight of the Princess Sage [hiatus]》Ch 9 A Witch's Game Pt 4

Well, that was rather fun. The capabilities of the Clutches of Sin formation are slightly more than I have anticipated, which is a pleasant surprise.
Though I’m a bit disappointed that that… what was her name again? Did I even ask that? Eh, whatever. I’m a little disappointed that the girl was so easy to control with just a few suggestions and minor techniques, you would imagine that someone who probably specialized in mind-control magic would be able to fend off against it well, but… the reality is often too disappointing. I had even spent some time preparing my sophistic arguments to get her to the dark side and corner her rational mind but a bit of rough behaviour followed by some nice flowery words were more than enough. Whatever. I can always come up with some other fun things.
Speaking of which, there was a game human children are crazy about nowadays, I happened to overhear our servants chatting about it. Hm… I think I have a very nice idea, huhuhu.

High-level god Protox was enraged. Recently, he and some fellow gods were attacked by a certain goddess that before was on their side and had very good relationships with some of them even.
Her name was Thea, the goddess of order, and to Protox she was like a niece. He cared about her a lot and she respected him too, if Protox had heard that his ‘niece’ would attack him with so much hostility before that happened, he would never believe it.
Thea took the lives of three low-level gods and heavily injured one mid-level and she didn’t intend to stop, so Protox had to put an end to the massacre with his own hands, much to his grief.
It didn’t require too much time to figure out the reason behind the incident: the culprit behind the strange and disturbing activities on the Extererr mountain and the disappearance of the low-level god Werben, Lavenna Mehliac. At first, the group of deities suspected that it was her mother, Heralfia, but after a bit of investigation, the daughter was the most likely suspect.

Protox, in his fury, used his vast influence to command a few dozens of low-level and three mid-level gods to attack the mansion Lavenna resided in. Naturally, since she didn’t even think of concealing her location or running, it meant that it was likely she had confidence in her own abilities, so in order to avoid an incident like the one with Thea, it was agreed to first test the waters with a small group of low-levels.
In conclusion, after but a day after the attack, Protox received a letter with the words “The results of the game match” written on it. It appeared in front of him right out of thin air.
Protox was surprised at first but then understood that it was probably a way for the little devil to show her strength, to say that she could get them even in Pantheon and that none can hide from her. It didn’t matter to the god what delusions of grandeur the little devil possessed, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest.
He took the letter and read it, though it took him a bit of time and some investigation to understand the contests.

Not long after the mangled bodies of the fallen gods were found in the Pantheon, which caused an uproar. The witch treated the lives of the gods not much different as she would treat toys and mocked the prestige of the Pantheon by displaying such a grotesque scene there. It earned her a lot of fear and enmity from many gods of all levels in Pantheon.
A great number of them attacked the mansion where she lived but none returned and what was surprising, the mansion didn’t suffer any damage and no mortals were alarmed by so many gods descending.
It was eerie and more and more gods began to fear the witch. They all hated her but chose to do nothing. The braver ones tried to use schemes and threats but they all ended up dead, with the mocking letters left describing their deaths.
After ten months a new letter arrived, this time the contests were different from normal.
“I’m bored. It was fun while it lasted but I guess I’ll end it soon. Anyway, it was a let down you had only six high-level gods and no stronger ones. But I guess if there were stronger ones, would pose me some trouble, so maybe it wasn’t that bad. Anyway, I’m done with all of you as I have no time for games. I left a present for you all too.”
A few minutes after the letter was unsealed by the fuming Protox, the entire Pantheon went up in flames and then everything exploded, leaving only the high-level gods alive.
The highly-concentrated Divine energy left in the place after the deaths of so many deities was quick to find its new hosts in the six high-level gods, forcing them into slumber to refine it and truly make the energy their own, making them reach higher levels of Divinity.
As they were falling into slumber they were endlessly cursing Lavenna, wishing for her to suffer.
Like this the witch’s game with divinity has come to a temporary close, both parties being too busy accumulating power.

It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.

Shifted
After the world is almost entirely overrun by a mysterious force known only as the Spread, individual cities struggle to survive behind Barriers with limited resources under the direct supervision of the richest among them. Accidentally overhearing a plot by his city's leader to doom a large swathe of the population, Lysander Badeaux concocts a last ditch slapdash plan to save them. Enlisting the help of the city's most feared assassin, the Red Morn, he sets out to fix what's broken, only to stumble upon more than he bargained for in the process. With Red keeping a host of secrets from him--and not to mention following him around for some inexplicable reason--Lysander may just bumble his way into a conspiracy or a magic world or, if he's excessively unlucky (and he is), both.
