=====================================================================
Volume 1 Chapter 3: Caution
Because of my slow descent, it would take a lot of time if I were to land inside the city underneath, it would also cause some kind of ruckus if I were to land there like this… So I decided to land on top of the mountain as it was near.
I immediately examined my surroundings the moment I landed… There doesn't seem to be anyone here.
The mountain I'm currently on is quite tall. If I were to look, I could see the very edge of the continent and the clouds are floating below us, making it look like the sea…
I need to carefully think of my next action as moving recklessly would be bad…
Even though I'm a God, danger is still present in an unknown world.
I decided to recheck my stats for now…
Yep~ There are two confusing things in my status…
One of which was my luck's parameters while the other one is my "so called nature".
Since I can't figure anything out with my luck parameters, I decided to investigate my title first.
I touched the word [Random Wanderer] and an odd screen appeared…
This screen has a mysterious aura about it… it's pure white with black texts…
System:Title Name:Random WandererDescription:Let's do random stuff!
We're free to do what we want and nothing shall ever bind us!Effects:Universal Translation
???
???
What is this!? Why does it give off an eerie feeling!? Why are there question marks!?
So many questions with little to no answer!
Alright~ Let's calm down first and think for a bit~
Since there's no proper explanation here, I'll just take some wild guesses here.
Universal translation will probably allows me to communicate with the inhabitants here.
The description is… It probably describes my behavior~
But why is it named Random Wanderer? Shouldn't it be something like "God of something~something" Am I one of the unique Gods? or is this common or a rare occurrence? I don't know…

As for the remaining "???", my guess it's one of those discoverable skills
Too bad I wasn't able to ask it… I guess it was my own fault for being a bit excited…
It's not like you can turn into a lesser God and travel to a different world like it's normal…
Maybe I should look around first…
●●●●●
Even though I searched the upper part of the mountain, I don't even feel a bit tired~
If memory serves me right, which is rare, this mountain is suppose to be surrounded by a city… or kingdom?
There were no structures at the very base of the mountain… I don't think they want to touch the mountain. Is it because that they consider it a holy place? I need more information about it, maybe visiting the library… but I might be considered as an enemy/criminal if I suddenly show up from the mountain…
Hmm~ What to do now~
Should I use dominion and claim the mountain or sneak into the kingdom?
The first option seems good?
Building the Temple would provide me with various benefits and gives protection but the downside is…
My existence will be pronounce to the world… But seeing as I'm the first God class to arrive, am I the strongest? Well I can't be too sure about that, I barely know anything in this world…
Sneaking inside the kingdom might not be a bad idea if I could get some information without gathering too much attention… but things might end up bad if I handled it too poorly…
Excluding my broken luck, my stats are all 200… but It's useless if I don't know if these parameters are considered high or low here… I need to look at someone else's stats for comparison…
I began contemplating on what to do…
●●●●●
I decided to use dominion first as I was somewhat reluctant to visit the kingdom…
I'm not too sure on what's going to happen if I were to make a ruckus…
Anyways~ I plan on creating my Temple at the very top of the mountain as it was quite difficult to climb through the thick fog of the mountain, I also had some difficulties when I was roaming around…
When I reached the peak, I took the snow globe like item named Dominion.
System:Name:DominionType:Consumable ItemQuality:Artifact (SSS+)Number of use:1Durability:n/aItem Description:A Legendary artifact that helps the [Gods] create a safe haven.

Allows the construction of [Temple].
Provides various benefits.
Warning!
Setting up a dominion will announce your existence to the world.
Let's just hope that it won't take a lot of stat points…
With that as a wish, I raised Dominion and activated it.
My view suddenly changes to a bird’s eye view of the mountain.
I could even see various game like options and controls.
"I see~ I see~ so it's like this?" (Nero)
I move my hand while thinking of removing the top of the mountain. Everything that my hand passed through disappeared and a window pops up saying "You have gained 12,481 resources".
"Oh~ I understand the fundamentals here~ It's similar to a game that I've played, as usual" (Nero)
Replacing the ground with a different material will consume a small amount of resources while creating nothing from something will take a large amount of resources.
Since it's a bit different, I decided to familiarize myself on how it works~
When I finally familiarized myself with it, I started working~
I took the entire upper half of the mountain and stopped near the fog, in which I've received a lot of resources. I flattened the ground next and changed them into stone, dirt, grass, etc.
After that, I began constructing my Temple. I started out with the foundations, then the walls, then the furniture, etc. I continued on constructing and reconstructing everything. I was quite meticulous on details…
I also created some low grade artifacts such as a fountain that provides unlimited drinkable water, a lightning rod that produces electricity, a tree that rapidly produces multiple fruits, gems that lights up when feed electricity and many more. All of it was done with the help of of Creation and Customization.
Maybe it was because of Dominion that the cost for the skills changed from point/mana to resources.
Looking at my soon to be soon to be base… I'm feeling quite proud of myself~
I'm happy that I studied random stuff that seemed interesting!
●●●●●
My Temple looks more of an modern luxury estate~
It has a fantasy feel to it because of the sea like fog that creates the illusion that this place is a floating island.
I also built a hidden road so I could go to the kingdom and return without problems~
Again~ Allow me to praise myself for all of my hard work~
After checking that I got everything I needed, I finalized my work.
System:Enter the name for your [Dominion]
"Mistel" (Nero)
I just jumbled up the words from Mansion and Citadel…
The original plan was to build a Citadel as my Temple but gave up halfway and changed it into a modern mansion.
System:Congratulations!
You have successfully created the [Dominion: Mistel]
System:By successfully setting up a [Dominion], You've unlocked the following:
[Dominion Functions]
“Whooa~” (Nero)
I opened up the functions without a second thought and activated a buff called Regeneration and set up a restriction on only allowing chosen people to enter Mistel. The Temple also allows me to teleport between different Temples and Shrines that have been registered as an ally/friendly.
There was also my randomly selected bonus…
That bonus was Resurrect, it allows me to resurrect anyone within 24 hours with the cooldown of 48 hours.
As soon as I’m finished with [Dominion Functions], a blue screen prompts up…
System:The people of [Veran] will now be informed of your existence!
Note:
They know that a [God] has descended on their World but they still don't know who you are.
Thankfully~ They won't know my name or what I look like~
But before I could celebrate the oddly colored white screen appears
Nature Quest: Random Wanderer
Keeping a low profileDifficulty: SSDescription:You lack knowledge about the new world and it's preventing your progress.
Avoid being known as a [God] while you gather knowledge about the new world.
Conditions:Clear Conditions:Fail Conditions:>Gather enough knowledge about [Veran] before revealing your Identity as a God>Revealing yourself as a God and creating various problems for the inhabitants
Quest Reward:1,000 stat points
100,000 experience points
Is this my task!? So this is what she meant when she said those things…
It certainly connected with my nature(what I want to do)…
It's true that I don't want to reveal myself as a [God] with my lack of knowledge of the world and I don't want to be dragged into a problematic situation just because they know that I'm God…
The difficulty is SS, I hope nothing bad happens when I fail…
●●●●●
Judging from the position of the sun… I guess it's about noon?
I still have time to do one more experiment before I head into the kingdom.
I move to the yard to have more space.
I've been curious about my Creation skill.
"With 515 worth of points~ I'm sure I have enough for this!" (Nero)
I activated Creation…

A Tale of the Ages: Gods, Monster, and Heros
The past get's forgotten. Or so they say. Maybe they're right. Even the gods forgot the beginning, the reason it all started. But I refuse to forget, even if I'm driven mad by the memory. Salvation? It's pointless. No one is worth saving, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth helping. No one is a plaything, but everyone's a pawn in this game. I hate it. Who's playing? I don't know. I don't even know what the game really is. I gave up on figuring that out after a time. What I do know is that I want to tell you all a story. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, as any good story should. But, I really don't think you'd keep listening if I told it in order. So, we will start at three points; you'll have to figure out where they are in the overall story. The story of Hal and instinct, a pair so close that they might as well have been one. The story of The Husk, a creature on a hunt that would span generations. The story of Mask and a hero. How one will come to learn of the other's past and the many faces they had. Do you know where you stand? Do you side with the gods, the hero, the demon king, the experiment, the cursed, the blessed, the monsters, the forgotten? Well? I know. You don't know anything yet, so you can't say. So, enter our world, and find out what side is what.

Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here.
