Chapter 23
War decides to come with us back to the village as he has to go back their anyway.
“So why don’t gods have names? All the gods we’ve met didn’t have a proper name.” Joe
“Any god lower rank than greater doesn’t get a name” war
“Then what about charm? Does she have a name?” jacobe
“She does but I don’t care to learn it” jack
“Interesting” selena
“Speaking of which, how’s your big sister, war?” jack
“Yeah, how is Jackline” Johanna
“She is busy, very busy. With all this crap going on with the system, as you named it” war
“Figures, the greater goddess of wisdom and death has plenty of work to do, it never ends really” jack
“She said she’ll be able to take a break in a weak” war
“Good, good” jack
“What the hell man, how many gods do you know?” jacobe
“I remember hell, top 5 vacations ever” jack
“Best hot springs ever” Johanna
“I wish I could have gone to hell instead of the abyss, you have no idea how boring that place is” Lucy
“Actually I do, I spent about a week there before I couldn’t take it anymore. I wouldn’t survive a hundred years in that place, there is nothing to do there” jack
“You sound like you’ve been to very interesting places before” sally
“we’ve been all over this world as well as several others, although you can’t spend more than a couple weeks outside of your own world without getting really sick, unless you have an item that prevents said sickness or belong to race that travels between worlds, like many undead, such as Lucy who goes to the abyss every time she dies and has to wait till someone summons her back here.” Jack

“How exactly do you travel to all these places?” selena
“It’s amazing what you can do when many of your friends and allies are gods” jack
At this they all just stare at us, except ghost who was grinning.
“Master is amazing” ghost
We continue to walk and I check out some of my racial skills. Thin presence causes me to be noticed less, torment causes any psychological or physical attack designed to cause suffering be more effective. Demonic presence is basically the opposite of thin presence; it causes everything to notice me and to instill fear. Silent step is a passive skill that makes we walk silently, which I already did. Blink is a short range teleportation skill, at my current level I can teleport anywhere I can see within 6 feet. Transparency is a passive skill that makes it impossible for an untrained eye to see details about my appearance, and makes it harder for a trained eye to do the same.
“I wonder how aunty and uncle are doing.” Johanna
“Aunty is fine, and uncle probably used the time to do an experiment with magic on the monsters.” Jack
“I’ve heard you mention aunty before but who is uncle?” selena
“Auntie’s husband, how that elf managed to woo an incubus I will never know.” Jack
“You know, I am not going to be surprised by anything say anymore” sally
We kept walking for a couple hours; we were getting close to home. When we were a block away something caught my attention in the edge of my vision, which was almost directly behind me with how high my vision stat was. Unfortunately it was already too late, a dart had hit everyone except Johanna war and I. Johanna had 2 darts, war had none, and I had more than 5 in me.

you have been poisoned by a magically enhanced sleeping poison. Its effects are tripled. Due to your resistance to poisons the effects are decreased by 80%
I got this notification 5 times, 1 for every dart. As my consciousness was drifting off I realize who could have possibly done this, there is only one person I know who can make high quality poisons like this, and that knows about my resistance to said poisons.
‘Should’ve figured this would happen’ jack
End chapter 23
