As I had gotten way more skill levels in the last half a year, I didn't do too much with other childeren. But I did throw away a lot of weapons, where did I find a land fill? The children.

Anyways, back to buying shit.

Codexes;...

Tomes;...

Skills;...

Blessings;...

Curses;...

...

There were a few things to look at, first codexes. They all had a concept, the darkness one costed only 1 divine power, what a steal! 'But seriously, the hell is a codex?'

Dieas popped up 'A codex lets you get a theory skill, if you memorized/understood its content. But after use it disinagrates, a tome is the same thing but it can be used as much as you want. But you can still destroy it like any other book, it does look really old though.' 'And cool.' I said right after.

'Why haven't I ever heard of Gaia using it?' I asked, Deais responded 'Gaia's followers are usually to dumb to get the skill, but the difficulty in learing a theory skill has a reward. There's no level limit, why would a concept have a limit?' I had a very amazed look on my face.

I did ask something 'Where were you the last 6 months?' Dieas made an easy answer 'Do you think I want to be dependent on you? I've been trying to get another mortal to sponsor, with how you're a little to busy to make a few followers.'

I said in retribution 'You think I can walk around the streets making followers whenever I want? I'm a noble, every single movement I make outside the walls of this mansion is recorded. You think I can trick a bunch of fools into praying to you? I've been trying to actually get Oculltism up and running.'

Dieas said "Geez, I didn't say you were doing nothing. You're just focusing on skills and stuff, I also need some pawns for free divine power, the person I was able to sponsor and have been working with is Louis Lion." I squinted my eyes "Like I told you to, right?" Dieas sighed through the channel 'Yes, make them believe you're some ancient god with a lot of knowledge. He's the guy I used my divine power on, right now he has a skill that let's him have some more charisma.'

I said 'Then he'll be in charge of recruitment, but make sure not to let that dumbass reveal anything. Just make him grind his skills a bit, that charisma one a lot, then let him move about in a hidden manner. I'll also stop ridiculing him all the time, tell him that Able from the drake house has made a deal with you. Not that I'm also sponsored with you, but made a deal with you that'll help him.'

'Yes, yes, I'll tell him at an appropriate time.' Deais said 'Also, just to be sure. If you can, get him some random wisdom skill.'

'Anyways, got a recomendation on what to buy?' I asked, not having any clue on what to buy. There were just to many toys to buy, luckily I have mastered the art of self-control 'I'd like something that can help me with my magic ways or something to control mana, any ideas?'

Deais said 'There are a lot of things to do with mana and magic, but the best one for now is the darkness codex, only one point, what a steal! But seriously, it can let you use the darkness element in your spells, I think.' That was tempting enough for the great and powerfull me, and I bought it immeadiately. Its just two months, now maybe a few corpses max.

A nice big book appeared in his hands, he guided Deais away and started to read. His intelectusl mind let him read through it in a week, it was quite quick. I had a high wpm reading speed, he had 20 INT. I'm really happy about that fact, no getting that extremely convinceable stage. I'm not really sure about the time a teenager though, I hoped not though.

A quick interpretation of all the weird esoteric words with a 17 WIS is easy too, I got the skill easily.

Darkness theory lvl 1 0%/100% EX

Gives hightend understanding of the darkness element.

Cool I guess, I do have ways to do stuff with the darkness element in my head now. Though bad, and I had my enlightenment on the diner table so, of course I didn't show it. I was excited at the moment but very tired, I hadn't slept much as usual. It was pretty obvious too, but nobody complained to me. My father was always busy, and I avoided my mother like the plague.

I hoped this darkness element would let me get more power, and let me waste less time on my mother. She's a full grown woman! Why the hell does she need me, her child's, counseling?! Ugh, its been happening for the last fucking month or two. Like I know Duke is busy and all, but get some friends to make fun of! It always works to make me happy, or find a hobby if you're a fuckin' normie.

I truly wondered what to do next, I had a nice sponsorship going. Maybe kill a few people? No, that would do almost nothing for me. Divine power seemed right up my avinue, setting up automatic processes to bless believer on random intervals, due to that having faithful believers become more faithfull. And then just sitting on my chair, watching my wealth amass a countless amount divine power. Seeing that beautiful green number, saying 'It's profitable'. I let some of my voice out in my fantasies "Ahhhhh, beautiful."

I only let this happen because all of the servants around me are slaves with orders to never, and I mean ever tell anyone what happens in my room. They're all pretty costly, so I make sure they don't die or have something that lowers their price. I'll try out my two new skills I guess, hope they're cool or good.

And six months passed again, yep, again. Today was my birthday, and I asked for my own personal slave. Yes slavery is bad, but that's just how this world is, if you can't beat 'em join 'em.

I had some more contact with Deais, appearantly Louis has been getting better and better at not needing his babysiting. I had sacrificed some goats, btw normal animals are a thing, though not often kept or bred. And I bought a skill with all dat divine power, slave appraisal. I also asked Deais what the evolution of inspect was, appearently its the great and powerful appraisal. I didn't feel like getting scammed, and to be honest, I had no confidence that I would buy a good one without a skill.

I had built up a more trusting relationship with the frame work, one of the most trusting in my whole life. I had significant trust issues, but the framework gave good and accurate info and said how accurate the info was. Though I'm not sure what reason it has for helping me, so no true trust was there. But it had the most accurate info at the moment, but I would throw it away in favor of something I have control of without hesitation.

That's just how I am, deal with it loser. So I while I was thinking all that, I got in a carraige and got to the city a few kilometers away in a few seconds, Human ingenuity knows no bounds. There were guards around me, Osgar and my father too. This was my first appearance in public, so of course I had a more respectable outfit on. Not the normal suit that was black and blue, this one had gold trims, and a few red ones. And Just to be sure I didn't look ridicules, I kept a constant eye on all my clothes's prototypes.

I made the right decision, and I was really appreaciative that I did that. I had all those useless frills that would make me vulnrebale turned to ashes, and the one that wanted me to wear a fucking wig, I had him killed for crimes against humanity. And Gaia too, btw.

So we met with a certain slave trader, I didn't feel like talking to him and wanted to seem nieave. Osgar knew what I wanted anyways, something in my age range and I want to see for myself what I buy. A quick conversation after I was walking in a basement, it was disgusting. I don't even know why they're abused, well maybe it breaks down their pride and resistance to being owned.

But it does have the negative effect of a high casualty rate, or they were just neglected. Probably the later, but who cares. If I get a good slave bought for a cheap price I could easily make a profit, I could just say it was price management and no one would think I had a good slave under my belt.

I looked around with my skill, I first looked at the less well looking ones. They still needed non-permanent use loss over their body and needed to have a full body, another one of my requirements. The mentality didn't matter, I had a degree in psychology due to wanting to conduct therapy on myself. I couldn't let my mental problem be seen to my close ones and enemies, that I feared the most. It failed though, so I had my therapist agree to an NDA.

NDA, huh. I should make those a thing here, that would be for the best if I make a country.

Anyways there were a few good ones to buy, I needed to keep normal to my age. So female child, the best I found, a screen given by a mix of both skills. With all mana in one use, after a mini use to see if they were worth a bieeg one.

Name: 2845 Bodily health; good Mental health; terrible Physical stats: Below average Mental stats: High

Current state; sad, defeated, desperate. Hp: 38%/100% Sex: Female Sexuality; straight

Huh, sexuality 'eh? Da fuck, why do I need to know this shit? Anyways, high mental stats and desperate. Perfect, I wispered to Osgar "I want 2845, she'll do well after healing." He nodded and said to the merchant "All of these are nice and dandy, but I've done my research. We want n. 2845, 5 silver, end of story."

The slave merchant seeing the resoluteness tryed to make a bit more "Well sir, somebody else already wants that one-" I interupted not wanting to deal with the bullshit "490 bronze." The slave merchant was slightly shocked at the fact a 6 year old started to haggle "Sorry, but as I said someone else already made an off-" "480" "But you'll need to-" "450" "Sorry, but you'll need to ma-" "350" A few seconds of pause "300" Silence once more "250" I was getting annoyed "200, take it or be executed."

The slave merchant jerked back the I said executed "B-but I did nothing illegal." I smiled inocently, that turned into a cold frown "Who cares? All I have to do is cover your mouth and say that you killed some fool, at your execution. My word is law, and you are subject to it." I again smiled "Now accept the offer or I'll take all of your assets for my personal use, no, wait. For the people, because you used them to commit your many, many crimes." I looked at some random directions "Doesn't it sound nice? Local slave merchant revealed as the leader of local crime ring, think of how well known you'll be. Actually for my service of making an opening for you to be famous for a few days, I should take the slave for free, don't you agree?"

"Y-yes sir, I'll get them over here right now." I made a snake tear, and wiped it away "It's so good that you know how to be grateful, your mother did a good job raising you." The slave merchant had a sour face "Thank you sir."
