《The undead who yearned for life》53-The Air Goddess
Advertisement
The moment I exited my dimension, I found myself covered in darkness... what happened to the 5th circle, I can't even see half a meter in front of me, is this some kind of event?
A voice came from behind me: -You knew it, right?-.
uh oh, this could be reeeally bad: -I absolutely have no idea of what you're talking about-. Ah, now that I think about it, this is the first time I talk in my new body, fortunately the Gods talk in the same language as the person they're speaking with.
I couldn't even look at him straight in the eyes while saying it, so I didn't bother to turn. -Oh, then I guess you can swear an oath about it on the system, right?-.
This is going in wrong direction, let's change the argument: -is there something you need from me? Did something happen to warrant your fury?-.
-Oh, nothing really, just a small competition between me and my younger sister with the fighting game you gave me last time and with which I have been training... when I challenged my sister, she was able to crush me within three matches-.
Well, that's harsh, but I needed to cheat after eight matches in a game I was sure to be able to win, so this result is somehow expected; I should now reap some benefits and give him an edge over the loli Goddess before he decides to pulverize me: -Don't worry, I already prepared something that will give you the advantage over her, I also made some games more... strategic oriented, so you should have the advantage in them-.
As I said it, I brought out the manual and some games that would test one's own ability to plan ahead (games centered in real time strategy) and not the reaction speed (fighting games).
I wonder what strategies are being used in this world, should I start writing a strategy book for the Goddess? And while I'm at it, I could also write how to counter the first book strategies?
... This could be dangerous, I can potentially obtain infinite favours from the Gods, it's better to not let it go to my head, else I can see retribution coming.
-This better work, I already notified the Goddess about your reward, now tell me what you want from me and we're clear-.

Why do I feel some animosity from him? Well, it doesn't matter, let's just ask the reward: -I would like to-
-It's impossible, your request is too much for a , because you were too gready, I should punish you, but because I am a open minded God, I shall forgive you-.
Is he keeping grudge because I tricked him? It wasn't even that big of a lie, I just withheld some informations, nothing to be angry over.
-Are you trying to break the rules because that young man managed to trick you? It's alredy good that we don't give him a as a prize for conning the God of trickery, so don't be petty-.
A beatiful girl came down from the skies and looked at the God with a sneer on her face. Her beauty is natural, she resembles your classic : -The Air Goddess I presume?-.
-tch-
The Goddes smiled amused: -You presume right, now if you could voice your request to my brother, so that we can have a little chat afterwards between only the two of us-.
It's better to not let this chance go: -I'd like to be revived in at most seventy two hours no matter how much powerful I become... this only as long as I remein in Hell-; for a second, imaginary cold sweat flowed in my back, if I didn't add that last sentence, I'm sure my wish would have been turned down.
-If it's only that, then there are no problems, but what you gave me better work, or I'll come back to kill you a thousand times over, we are clear, aren't we?- How much does he dislike losing? In my old world we called peoples like him Losers... good thing he can no longer read my thoughts.
As everything is going back to normal and the God is disappearing, I coul hear a last sentence fro him: -Ah, because the 5th and 4th circles are useless for you, after you finish your chat with big sister, I'll send you to the 3rd circle, there you will have the time to read your log, then you'll be on yourn own-.
Uh? Why is he helping me? Did he already forget about everything? How generous of him.
-Now that we're alone, shall we talk a bit?- her voice just became very cold, did I do something to anger her? I can't recall anything like that though.

-Could I have possibily done something to anger you somehow?-
-Do you think you did something to anger me? Why is that?-
Huh? She's now asking me what I asked her? -No, not that I can think of... unless you're pissed that I asked a from you even though what I did only benefits the God-; that I could understand, I'd be more or lessthe same.
-Nope, none of that, I just find you interesting; you're one of the three souls that were sent to our world from another with all your memories intact, then you managed to con the God of trickery and to play with my little sister for a whole week without dying. Either of them is whorty of praise-.
I can agree that conning the God of trickery should warrant a prize, but being a babysitter for a loli Goddes? I can't think of it as something difficult to do.
-From your face I can tell that you don't believe that playing with my little sister is something dangerous, that is already something strange- saying that she leaned over, a bit more and I could see her cleavage.
-If then we add the fact that the Neutral God lately is either crying or celebrating because you showed him how to effectively use his own magic and since your last evolution the Nature Goddess would like to you, then why shouldn't I find you interesting?-
How come I managed to gain the attention of so many Gods? -I can understand the neutral God, as his way to use his own magic was completely wrong in many parts... if he can't use it, how could other races do it? I already speculate that enchanting magic doesn't exist in this world, but why should I be of ay interest to you and the Goddess?-.
The Goddess giggled: -You did ask for me, o here I am, regarding the Goddess... many of her aspects have to do with nature... you should understand what I mean-.
Oh, oooooh, I was wondering who would be the Goddess of lust in this world; now I have the answer: -So, what should we do now? Do you have something to ask or want me to do?-.
-No, I will judge your character by your wish, so ask freely-
Hopefully, it's not too much: -I'd like to have the and the knowledge of all the languages that have existed, exist and will exist in this world, untill the day I wil die-.
-Oh? So you asked me the same thing you asked to my little sister? I don't have a problem for it, but every now and then I could ask you to do some minor things for me, is that ok?-; is she trying to obtain a champion or something like that? I don't really like the idea of being restricted.
-Again, I can see where your thoughts are going from your face; what I meant with minor things is to sometime take care of my little sister and not make her cry... too much, I know she's cute when she sries, but too much and I become irritable-.
What? Why is there a demon behind her even though she's smiling at me? It doesn't seem that I have a say in this matter, and I must only do the babysitter from tme to time, nothing much: -I accept, I shall look after the Goddess from time to time-.
As I said it, a ball of light came out from the Goddess and I assimiled it, and with it the knowledge of all the languages of this world became known to me.
As she was disappearing, the Goddess left me some words... do all Gods like to do that?
-My sister told me to say to you to hurry and go in a real forest out of Hell, that she has one or two requests for you and that you will enjoy doing them-.
More explicit than this, and she would bring me to a bed... though I don't have those urges for noe... I look forward to entering in a forest. What is done before a wedding is not counted as betrayal.
In the moment the Goddess completely disappeared, I found myself in a completely different place, the God must have teleported me. Because of him I just skipped two circles, lucky.
Well, he did say that the barrier he put would give me the time to calmly look at my log, so let's not lose time: "show log"

Project G00
|Nanopunk |Crafting | Detailed Science and experiments | Inner thoughts | Bio-Robots | Evolution | Infodumps | Tell not Show | Insane to Sane | Slow and Detailed Pace | Puddle to Unknown | Artificial Intelligence | Trans-humanism | Bad Jokes | Moving 'Dungeon' Core | Hi! I am G00. I am a project made by some weirdo. Some may refer to me as the wobbly thing in the fridge or the slimy thing in the ceiling. Others might tell you about that sticky thing inside your nose. In the end, they called me the Seed of Life, yet didn’t tell me what I was supposed to become. Furthermore, it just happens that this stage was the most miserable place to reincarnate... Reincarnate as in… What the hell did I become?! (Whispers) You are a puddle. A puddle? (Whispers) Yes. C’mon little guy, say your lines! You’re live right now! Welcome to puddle-springs aka the afterlife of a puddle. CUT! Eh? Why?! No edition or photoshop needed?! We’re short on puddle-staff. The camera is broken, I am broken, and you are broken. Wait! How can a puddle be broken? You are not a puddle, you are frozen yogurt. NOOOOOOOOOO! Additional summary: Spoiler: Spoiler Humanity has finally made the second step towards space. Many developments were taking place at the time this happened. All of them accomplished thanks to nanotechnology. Inventions regarding Artificial Intelligence and nanorobotics created the opportunity, a way to terraform planets by sending nanorobots to space. Their orders? Colonizing and preparing the new worlds before humanity's arrival, aka terraforming. Meet G00, a weird agglomeration of nanomachines. A bit stupid, but it's not because he was like that. The little guy... 'He' is really broken. The hardest start of a story is when language is oddly misunderstood, when you know nothing of the place you just arrived; when your companion is a buggy system, and when you have to repair yourself with whatever trash you can scavenge from your surroundings. All of this while you fight your worst enemy: potatoes? What will you do in an unfamiliar circumstance where nothing is what it seems and where you won't even understand the boring ramblings of a confused main character? Well, patience will... probably have a reward? Additional tags and disclaimers: Read before starting the story: Harem: Not included for the moment, depends on characters added, votes by readers, and things that happen on the go. Magic: Far away chapters maybe... as part of high level or non-understandable things by science. Slice of life: Probably some parts will include it. Disclaimer #1: Crazy amount of content about high-tech info-dumps, slow pace, starts with biology and nanotechnology. Might have some weird jokes and puns. Game bugs are also possible. Disclaimer #2: No puddles were harmed during the making of this story. No character is real, no real puddle was used as part of the cast. Character is stupid at the start on purpose but he will get beta and beta. All written content follows a logical approach no matter how stupid it appears to be, maybe… Because it’s just a raccoon splashing some cotton-candy over a puddle after it was thrown. Yup, a bully raccoon with rabies or so it seems.
