《Superficial Story》Chapter 25 - Divine Trial
Advertisement
It’s been a few weeks.
I have access to a lot of things here.
Joah brings me whatever I ask him - be It simple things like a computer or complex ones like a lady who’s into me for us to have sex.
I did it only once, however.
I feel a bit uncomfortable here.
I guess it’s the lack of power.
Besides, I’m not in a hyper masculine world of “do or be done”, so I don’t feel like expending my energy with sex.
Things here are very, very peaceful.
There are some limits - for example, I can’t get in contact with mortals through the internet.
But the web here has lots of stuff, even the most hardcore ones.
Plus there are the games I used to play when I was alive, so it has been a nice time.
Oh, Joah is back.
“Hi Joah.”
[Joah] - Hello mah man. The day has come!
“Day to do what?”
[Joah] - To go to the trial. Common, come with me.
I follow him.
It makes me nervous, so I’m walking with heavy steps.
But I trust Joah.
I mean, I’m in a place where he has god-like powers, and I’m basically a prisoner.
A very well-maintained prisoner, with lots of comforts, but still, I can’t go in or out.
So of course there would be a trial.
“Say Joah, will you tell me where I am now? And what’s going on?”
[Joah] - Sure. After Dino called in the authorities, we got the Divine Log and started a bureaucratic process at the Fantasy Pantheon Halls. The writer which was in charge of your contract came by, and also the inspector who should be inspecting that universe. The judges got all the information they needed out of yah all, and then sent yah to these cells until they deliberated.
“I see. Am I in big trouble?”
Joah gave me a big smile.
[Joah] - Yah not in trouble mah man! But yah will see!

Fuuuu.
Let’s go.
The tribunal doors are white as well.
Let’s enter.
Uhm.
It’s just like a tribunal on earth.
I suppose it’s just how I see it.
Everyone here must be seeing it in accordance to their own paradigms, so they know how to behave.
[Joah] - That’s right mah man. Now go over there, it’s your spot.
I’m seated right at the side of Sophia, and to my right is the God Emperor. At my size.
Equality at least.
He made a sour face after seeing me.
At his right there are two other people.
I suppose they are the inspector and the writer.
In the end, all of the gods are here.
And the tribunal in front of us consists of one judge for each one of us, all of them with mics in front of them and two clerks behind.
Joah is behind me, and the people behind the other gods must be their technicians.
Suddenly, the judge in the middle started.
[Head Judge] - Good morning all. We are starting the session. The cause today is “The Pantheon against Universe’s XZZT05678304’s Gods.”
He hammered the table.
[Head Judge] - Could the offenses of the respondents be called out by the prosecution, please?
Suddenly one of the technicians started to read.
The hell Joah?!
You’re my prosecutor?!
Motherfucker!!
[Joah] - Calm down mah man. Yah don’t have nothing to fear!
Shit…
I’m fucked.
I’m so fucked up right now!
Oh, the writer’s prosecutor has finished his accusation already.
Now it’s the time for the inspector’s.
[Prosecutor] - Your Excellencies, Inspector Marcus was supposed to inspect the acts of God Emperor Louis, but he is being accused of letting the God Emperor break many pantheon rules by omission. While he was under my vigilance he would constantly ask me for universes to rule over, and play god with them. Then, he would create smaller pantheons inside, and say to me they had spawn naturally, asking for a God Emperor to rule over them. His desires, mind and will all point towards this being the reason why God Emperor’s Louis universe was so unbalanced and in disarray. He is also being accusing of having a deal with my respondent, so both would gain levels faster by creating God Emperors which would be inspected by Marcus and swear loyalty to him.

Oh, the inspector is sweating cold.
It’s time for Louis’s prosecutor.
[Prosecutor] - Your Excellencies, my respondent is being accused of breaking the pantheon rules and also of jacking in the system by brute force of will, causing massive damage to the whole pantheon. While under confinement he repeatedly beat me up and made me into his slave. He also couldn’t take the smallest amount of contesting, and time after time would use his willpower to create universes and then use them to break the pantheon rules. He even escaped a couple times. Then, he’s also being accused of making excuse deals with Inspector Marcus, so both would benefit from a level-gaining scheme. During his escapes he constantly tried to contact Inspector Marcus.
Shiiit.
The prosecutors go to such lengths to test our true personalities? Like letting themselves be beat up and stuff?
Damn.
But thinking well, Joah did act as my subordinate and massagist all this time. He even got me ladies to have sex with.
Oh, it’s my time now.
[Joah] - Your Excellencies. My respondent is being accused of helping God Emperor Louis to break in the system and also of being a part of the scheme to gain levels faster. Although that’s the accusation, he behaved very well in his cell, and behaved very well for an ex-human. Although he wasn’t productive at all and tested the limits of the rules we imposed, he didn’t try to break them as long as he felt they were for the best. He also would accept selfish rules, as long as it was asked of him and not imposed. Once I just took one of his biscuits and he complained. But once I asked for it, and he allowed out of good will. My respondent is a very nice person in my opinion.
He.
Thanks Joah.
I like you too.
Plus, your massages are incredible. Of course I would let you have a cookie. You’re almost entitled to having them.
Now it’s Sophia’s prosecutor.
[Prosecutor] - Your Excellencies, my respondent is being accused of being part of God Emperor’s Loius and Inspector Maurus’s scheme. However, she seems to only partake pleasure in having sex. While in confinement, that’s mostly what she asked for.
He.
Just the bitch in heat she really is.
I mean, she’s a fucking succubus.
That much is expected.
Well, the other prosecutors went on the same lines.
Every god had its quirks - like how Amida liked to read about new things and became an expert at the pantheon’s rules at an amazing speed and how Jaur demanded justice to be done, but finally understood that he was being silly once he came to know that I hadn’t truly raped Sophia and didn’t touch his daughter at all.
Tsc.
Gods who follow the path of Ignorance don’t deserve to be gods.
[Head Judge] - All the prosecutors have spoken. Now, about the evidence, we have had time to analyze it all while the respondents where in confinement, and have reached a conclusion. However, we may allow for the respondents to defend themselves. If you wish to say something, please make yourself known.
[God Emperor Louis] - I wanna say a feel words if yah would let me, yer Excellency.
[Inspector Maurus] - What are you doing, shut up!
He.
Maurus is whispering to Louis.
Nice to see this.
Go on.
Try to stop the little monster you have breed with your ambition.
[Louis] - If yah excellency allows me, yah see, I would like to talk to you, you know, from man to man. I mean, yah excellency, yah know how things are right? I’m sorry for having beat up your nigger, but someone had to teach her manners!

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!
