《Ancient Adventurer Return》Greed’s Worshipper
Advertisement
‘ Yoru....I’m gonna kill you. There is an army of people who worship me and who waited for my awakening during the whole time I was in that damn statue, and you only tell me now ?!.......You know what, just tell me what I need to know. I’m not a fan of headaches and pretty powerful is coming right now.’
Bora wasn’t necessarily a man who liked to stay in the shadows. He liked to receive attention, but that was just completely crazy. He was still too weak to receive the attention of the Gods AND thousands of people who consider him as a god. While he was one it was only in name, he didn’t nearly have the power to truly be considered one. Plus the first God of greed was sealed by the other gods, so he wasn’t very happy that those same Gods knew who he was.
´ This woman will be useful. Everyone will become useful to you. Master I know all about you, I know your true feelings. You can’t lie to me.....So you know what ? Just do whatever you want. I can assure you that you will never face anything that could seriously threaten your very existence. I know a way to get some energy back so you can spend all you want. I know what is the consequence of you being bored, and I don’t want it to happen. So to hell with it ! Live the life you want to live, you’re supposed to be an evil god, and Greed is known to be the most powerful son. One that could give someone enough power to defy the highest gods !’
And just like that.....The dam broke.
« Master why are you looking at me like..... »
Katarea had no time to react. In a second, Bora’s lips were touching hers. She felt like her vital energy was being depleted, like she was being drained. Bora took a step back and sighed in content. The Djinn blinked, unable to understand what had just happened, but Bora explained before she could ask.

« I just copied your abilities. Though I can’t use them to their full potential because I don’t have the body for it, it should’ve made me become tier three I think......Yeah the bracelet says tier three. »
« But.....But I thought you had a limited amount of divine energy ! »
« Indeed, but Yoru just told me that it was fine.....He told me everything would be fine and you know what ? I think I’ll trust him~ »
Katarea looked at her Master with awe filled eyes. She thought it would take time, but it seems that as she first thought he wasn’t able to contain his feelings. The greed was just too much to contain. And now the God of Greed finally awokened.
« Well I guess I should meet with this worshipper of mine. »
Bora spoke and walked in a more relaxed way. He was calm and serious usually, but it seems that it was just a facade. The real Bora wasn’t like that. The real Bora was the man who was approaching Japan’s first Knight as if he was an adventurer who had found a great treasure, his eyes shone with greed as the woman turned toward him and smiled slightly.
« I’m truly happy to meet you, Bora. As you most certainly already know I’m Mirai, the Head Knight of the Thorny Rose’s order. »
« * Smirk* And a worshipper of the God of Greed. »
« I see you already know a lot. Well I won’t bother with meaningless presentation then. I have decided to approach you for a single reason. As you know you have a lot of worshippers, like the other evil gods have a lot of human worshippers. However you are a new God. Some cults may see in a bad light because of that. Even your own worshipers might not exactly like you. After all after the gods appeared on earth, the ancient God of Greed was present. Though he was in a reduced state and was forced to hide in the shadows. The members of the cult knows him, but you’re an unknown, so don’t expect them to trust you instantly. I will make sure that no one tries anything against you, but I can’t be everywhere. »

Bora’s smirk had faded, and his face was now dangerously close to Mirai’s. He was glaring at her with eyes that could’ve pierced the soul of someone weaker. However she was still stronger than him.....For now atleast.
And even then, she was pleasantly surprised to sense that he was already at tier three. What most people didn’t know was that it was quite difficult to climb the ranks at some points. It was difficult to go from a certain tier to another, but it only worked for certain tiers. It was like this for the tier 2 and 10. To go from 2 to 3 would require an immense amount of power growth, let’s not even talk about the other.
« And what about you ? You seem to trust me quite easily. »
« Well......Let’s just say I had a friend who said great things about you. Although I won’t be able to help you in other ways, I’ll still protect you....If you need protection that is. »
« Oh I can assure you that I won’t need it. Oh and could you atleast tell me what type of people are my worshippers. From what I can remember those worshippers of wrath created something called the Nazi , so I’m curious about my own worshippers. »
Suddenly Mirai’s whole body shook, her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she nearly fell on her butt. Bora caught her as she convulsed but quickly came back as if nothing had happened.
She got up on her legs and looked around as if someone was watching her. She then whispered something that Bora could catch with his keen senses.
« It seems I’m not allowed to talk about the Void.....Those damn tyrants. »

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!
