《New Resident of 5th Apartment》Chapter 5: Giving a man some motivation
Advertisement
"Clash of ideology and authority."
Airu If you talk about that, then humans have already known existence of god and worshiping it even now.
"No, it is the difference, unlike the previous world where it is a normal thing to do any king or emperor follow and take god's words seriously. In this modern world, where the government stood on top of everything, god is just a something part of religion."
Sawako explained to the sphere after arriving in her apartment.
In the past, there were cases of specific religion held power in both military and political side that equal to the government, not more. Now when suddenly unknown being came out of nowhere and placed itself above the government. There is no way current people in power will acknowledge it from an ethical and selfish standpoint.
But that doesn't mean Sawako thought of giving under a government and its players working under it as her job is to protect its earth, people and live as her wish. She can take it if those people decided to recognize her as equal, but if they chose to take her lightly then, she will show them what god can do.
It happens even if Airu wants it or not.
"Yes, but your message accelerated it."
So Airu hate conflict ?
"Nope, how can I call myself a goddess of war if I afraid of going against a bunch of idiots who only know how to spend money. Just I don't like to involve innocents, and I know in every war or a conflict between powerful happen the losers will always be bystanders."
As goddess war, Sawako knows both sides of the domain she rules over. It is growth, history, advancement, motivation, survival, and going against stagnant those were good sides, the war that she knew from another world. But in the modern world she is in, war is pointless and usually started for the self-interest of a few people masked by patriotism.
"Because men fighting against men, not against monsters or danger from the outer world."

Sawako pressed the button on her controller, switching the channel on her tv.
"Even after five years, those channels still the same as ever."
Then a talk show appeared on the screen showing a conversation between a host and a man in his late forty.
"Yeah, this year is an election year for seats of those old coots."
Sawako immediately turns off the tv before the man starts to spout its bullshits and touched her small earring shaped like a water drop. A moment later, she appeared in front of a large temple built on plains that full of grass and mountain.
It was a small word Sawako made for her followers to train in peace without any worry. In the past, this place is filled with shouts and laughter. But now, on the empty training ground stood a single memorial filled with carved names of students once trained in this temple.
"Well, time to break this body of mine again till the sunrise."
With a smile, Sawako starts her training before placing four bracelets on her arms and legs.
At first, she has begun to run around the training ground.
* a few minutes later*
"Huek! i-is this really ?"
Sawako laid on the ground weighed down by her gravity bracelet, looking like a tomato ran over by a car. She couldn't believe how weak her body is. Even though just like she ran around the training ground just like usual.
When her body began to ache and pain, she just kept running.
As her breath became heavy and burning, I just kept running.
Towards the end, the only thing in her mind was placing her left and right foot. Then Sawako noticed she only ran for about ten and a half minutes.
"He haha, damn it hurts."
After some laughter mixed with pain, Sawako stood up from the ground while shaking like a newborn Bambi, now it is time for push up.
Realizing her on earth hasn't done any kind of exercise in the past ten years. Sawako thought taking, into account the gravity bracelets she wears, maybe she can at least do a 10.

She placed her arms on the ground, prepared to do a push-up.
Then at that moment...
'S-so...hard!!'
'I didn't even start yet?!'
Sawako realized how wrong she was.
'M-maybe it is just feeling. Yeah, let's do this.'
Ignoring her body shaking in pain, she slowly lowered her body
'1!..'
"OOF!"
With sound, Sawako gave a deep kiss to the ground.
"Huk! never thought soil would be this delicious."
Said Sawako stood up from the ground, then while shaking the newborn calf, she walked towards a large tree growing on the upper right side of the training ground and pulled one peach.
This tree was present from Goddess Ohatra for stopping the civil war in her kingdom.
Fruit of Ohatra Divine fruit made by Ohatra the goddess of healing, harvest, and fertility upon consumption, regenerates any kind of wound weaker than a divine curse or weapon while restoring vigor. It also has a benefit for men's virility and woman's fertility.
After finished eating a sweet peach, Sawako checked its time from her phone. Knowing it is still a night on the other side she decided to continue her training until the sun rises.
Sawako trained until total exhaustion takes over her, then healing any excess damage and tiredness using divine peach. Just like that Sawako forced her body to train continuously until she has woken up by her phone alarm.
"That is for today."
Immediately Sawako teleported back to her apartment by touching her earring and immediately entered the shower to wipe off the smell of sweat stuck on her body.
"That felt good. Now, what is news here."
Leaving the shower refreshed, Sawako turns her tv on while preparing ingredients for her fried rice.
"So Mr.Hiroki the current shareholder of Hachiman Guild what is your goal for participating in this election ?"
"As my prime purpose of someone who chosen by people to be their voice is none other than reviving my home county that damaged by a foreign force and those monster from the rift."
"So let's take Mr.Hiroki you elected as one of council member, now how do you plan to revive the japan ?"
"Activation economy by increasing the national budget while lowering taxes of people."
Seeing another even uglier pig spouting nonsense on tv made Sawako lose all of her appetites. But a small curiosity also grew inside of her for that pig's plan for reviving the country.
"But Mr.Hiroki how do you plan to increase budget while decreasing tax ?"
"It is easy, you officiate IOU as national security and county go into debt. Now thanks to the import of new material from rift we can easily pay off."
"Are you sure Mr.Hiroki ?"
"Of course, for the people, I will do it my job as if my life depends on it!"
Hearing a familiar yet not familiar cringy line made Sawako twitch her eyebrow as she can already imagine how will that end up. Then she remembered now she is god so why not help this man's ambition to save his home country.
In a few moments later in the outside building of channel 25, Shimai Hiroki received a pop-up from the system.
Congratulations you made an oath to an unknown god for making such a promise. Now your every action and movement will be judged by a god until you accomplish your promise Your Oath: Revive Japan in three years after you took a seat in the House of Councilors. Reward Blessing and protection from unknown god If you break your oath The god itself will destroy every possession you have, when you die your soul will be forever owned by an unknown god along with the souls of your kin.

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.
