《Superficial Story》Chapter 34 - Just Looking at Things
Advertisement
It seems my Realm is composed of all Realms.
At first I thought it was weird the Public Hall was also under my influence to expend karma points in, but it became clear once my head cleared from all of that excessive drama.
I asked a few questions, and now I get the picture better.
As God Emperor I have a Private and Supreme Realm which is my own.
But I also have all of the other realms.
Those are under my power the same way the realms of evil gods would be under the king of evil if there were any.
So all of the god’s realms and also the public hall are under my power.
Not that I intend to do something about it.
I just sent Ista to the old Hell and took my time to think on stuff.
Man, those days with Joah sure were relaxing.
He’s a nice guy.
I wonder if all I need to live a nice life is a computer and someone to treat me like that?
…hogwash.
I’m even becoming Breton like this.
Lordship is really tiresome, isn’t it?
There, there.
I made a Far Sigh well as well.
This world has magic after all.
So I’m looking at my earthling’s doings while using it, and asking questions to omniscience while I do so.
This way I can stop and look at things from above.
Now, it seems a number of people have stopped believing in the gods after the glitches happened.
A heaty number abandoned all religions on those weeks we expended in jail.
I don’t blame them.
If the universe suddenly went out of control, of course many would feel the gods died or something like that.
Besides, these where peoples who lived their whole lives inserted on a gaming system-like life.

They had stats, a menu, skills which they could use… of course they would be confused.
Then again, in truth this whole system was just a way to show them, visually, what they had learned with their own effort…
or, rather, what they had gained from the God Emperor, which they knew as the “Voice of the Stars”, after sacrificing the effort required by the system.
Every skill barely braked even the investment needed to give it to the monster or human who received it, but the small revenue from everyone getting new skills was hefty enough to have increased my reserves in 1kk already.
Louis, Louis… indeed a capitalist pig.
But I don’t dislike that.
If not for the fact that people had been thrown in disarray during the period in which we were under confinement, then it would have been perfect.
Yeah, they did.
Even Andarluz stopped believing for a few days, once his retainers started a small revolution against him and confined him in his own tent.
Common man, I already saved you from prison. Don’t make me do it twice.
At least Damios and Ysh’er didn’t stop believing. Their powers didn’t stop either, so, I’m not so surprised. Even if Damios got a huge weird bubble in his face and Ysh’er got younger.
The ones who surprised me were Airjsmurh and Meleya.
The old queen of dragons not only kept believing, she kept spreading the word amongst other dragons and even got some to support my cause.
And Meleya…
Well, even if Jaur exchanged her soul due to Time-Travel, that was just a detail.
What truly mattered in her was the Ego, and that would be doubled once a god took a mortal’s soul.
So when the new soul entered her body, it got the same memories and personality as Meleya once had.

Which means it was destined to be an amazing bard… and indeed It was!
There’s just a multitude of peoples following her all around.
I guess the line between Bard and Saint is pretty tin when you’re singing gospels.
Anyhow, she and Airjsmurh are pretty close of meeting one another.
Once they do it, things will go smoother.
Yeah.
Everything moving according to plan.
But…
I don’t really have to be worried, do I?
[Answer]: No.
Of course not.
Because I already know the outcome.
Everything will go on nicely, if only the ones I have blessed meet each other.
Yeah.
They will make an Empire.
And it will prosper.
[Notice]: Writer Marhlick has send a telepathic message. Will you receive it?
From Marhlick-San?
Of course I will!
[Marhlick]: Mr.Takaraha, it has been a long time! Good to see you have made a name for yourself in this universe. As we agreed on, I will be taking one of your universes for myself. If things there are as I left them, then I imagine you wouldn’t have enough energy to make it inhabitable, but I won’t ask as much. Please just take care of these two while I make it proper.
[Notice]: Demi-God Mia has been assigned to your command. Demi-God Louis has been assigned to your command.
OH, COME ON!
I just said I didn’t want to see those two again!

Journey West 5000

Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
