《Re: Globus Online (Completed)》Chapter 19. The Meeting.
Advertisement
A month has passed since I came into this world... A whole month of not killing, protecting or finding someone.
I look around me and see everybody but Lily and then remember the beach...
"I really made her mad didn't I?" (Ethos)
"Ofcourse! She could've died because of your prank!" (Aphrodite)
I recollect the prank I did on her on the beach... I found a dead shark on the beach, cut off it's top fin and disposed of it's body, then I took some really resilient leaves, tied them together and tied them through the fin and then I went underwater and started circling Lily freaking her out.
I even went close to her leg and touched it with the shark's fin so she completely froze and started sinking...
I slightly panicked back then and threw the fin off and brought her to shore to see her shaking in fear.
The best and worst prank ever...?
Well... Nothing else happened on the beach or... Well... During the whole month. Litteraly, nothing...
I assisted Lily with her research but she didn't talk to me at all after the beach incident..., played with Kyra and then went to bed and repeat.
I also talked with Aphrodite and Hera but not that often...
They were getting prepeared for the Meeting that I am about to go into.
I stretch my arms and legs before Kyra walks up to me.
"Lily isn't coming?" (Kyra)
"It seems so." (Ethos)
"Kyra, the reason Lily isn't coming is because of Ethos's idiotic prank that terrified her almost to death." (Aphrodite)
Kyra walks off and goes next to Hera.
Kyra found out that she was first Hera's creation so Hera is kind of her... Mother? Well... She calls Hera 'mama'...
"We should really get going." (Hera)
"True. Hold on tight, I am going to open the portal." (Ethos)
I bring up the portal menu and Hera, Aphrodite and Kyra hold onto my clothes.
I select Heaven and we get teleported there but not to the place I was teleported first it seems... This is more.. Meeting-roomy like.
"You're finally here, Ethos!" (Thor)
"Sorry if i'm late!" (Ethos)
"Don't worry. Every god and goddess except you three and the other Olympian Gods are here so you beat the Olympians." (Thor)

"Good!" (Ethos)
Thor starts laughing and after laughing for a bit drinks an entire cup of ale it seems...
"Come! Sit down!" (Thor)
Thor shows three chairs next to himself and I sit in one of them and Hera and Aphrodite sit down aswell. Kyra jumps onto my lap and falls asleep almost instantly.
"Hahaha! So this is Kyra huh? Never got to see her personally." (Thor)
"Yeah." (Ethos)
I look around and see all the other gods and goddesses staring at me but not saying a word.
I hear doors opening and a big door opens and Zeus walks in with a bunch of other gods and takes his seat and the other gods and goddesses do the same.
"Are we all gathered here?" (Zeus)
"Yeah." (Thor)
"Good... I think everybody knows of the trouble going around..." (Zeus)
"The Earth's disbelief" (Hades)
"Thank you Hades. He is correct. The Earth started not to believe anything related to the supernatural. We need them to believe in us to have power over them... But now they are stopping their belief in us. That means they are going to be let loose and they might kill themselves with those nuclear bombs they have littered all over their planet." (Zeus)
"We should really do something shouldn't we?" (Takemikazuchi)
"We should. But most of us already lost our power over them. The only person with no limits is Ethos." (Zeus)
Everybody looks at me and then notice Kyra who is sleeping on my lap and using my stomach as a pillow of sorts.
"Ethos. We need you to go to Earth and establish the fact that Gods exist. That the supernatural exists. You can take any species with you to Earth to make them prosper there so they will believe that the supernatural exists." (Chronos)
Everybody nods and each god and goddess throws a picture of a species they made infront of me.
"Decide from those pictures five species you will take to Earth. All of these species are intelligent creatures but they are not as advanced as humans so they still believe in us." (Osiris)
I start looking through the species and pick Lamia, Dragon, Nymph, Demon and Elves. The five normal ones to pick.

"Hmm... Those are the five most known ones on Earth's literature right now... I agree with these picks." (Chronos)
"I do aswell." (Osiris)
Everybody else just nods.
"Now.. To less important matters like quarrels between gods and goddesses..." (Zeus)
The Meeting goes on for I don't know how long. Many gods had quarrels with eachother and many of those were just idiotic... Ownership of a damn rock, a quarrel breaks out. Who is a stronger god? Quarrel. Who is faster? Quarrel. Who is more clever? Quarrel.
After the slowest meeting in my life is over the person I know as The Creator aka a really old man god approaches me.
"Follow me, Ethos." (Creator)
I nod and we leave into his room. When we are in his room he changes... Into a beautiful woman...
I stare at him or... Her? I'm confused now.
"Ahahah! Ofcourse you would be confused if an old man suddenly changed into a really beautiful woman if I say so myself. It's actually the woman changed into an old man." (Creator)
"Huh?" (Ethos)
"Do you want to know how annoying it is if the gods would go after you because they know you aren't an old man uncapable of having children and is about to die. I don't but just in case..." (Creator)
"I thought you had no gender...." (Ethos)
"I don't. I just prefer the female gender over the masculine male one." (Creator)
"Oh..." (Ethos)
"You are really confused aren't you..." (Creator)
"Maybe... First... Why did we come to your room...?" (Ethos)
"I wanted to see you personally. Just seeing you through a shining glass orb won't do." (Creator)
She walks up to me and kisses me on the forehead.
"So this is what that feels like huh..." (Creator)
"Umm... Creator...?" (Ethos)
"Don't worry about it! It seems you've been having your share of fun haven't you, Ethos. Pranking innocent young women almost to death." (Creator)
"Oi! I didn't know she would freak out that much!" (Ethos)
The creator starts laughing and I hear Kyra running around shouting my name.
"Oh... Kyra's searching for you. I've seen you enough for now. Go, quick. Don't mention me meeting you today alright?" (Creator)
I nod and she pushes me out of her room. A second after I was pushed out of her room Kyra runs around the corner and spots me and tackles me from the side and starts sobbing a little.
"Why are you crying?" (Ethos)
"Hades was scary... He wanted to talk to me but he was too scary... Then the god called Chronos came and they started arguing what made things even more scary..." (Kyra)
I caress her hair slowly.
"Don't worry Kyra. You found me. Everything is now ok. Kyra, wasn't Aphrodite or Hera with you?" (Ethos)
"They were but it was still scary... I feel safe only around you right now..." (Kyra)
"Well... I'm here. Let's go and find Aphrodite and Hera. We need to make some preperations." (Ethos)
Kyra nods and we go back to the Meeting Hall where Aphrodite and Hera are waiting for us.
After we meet up with Aphrodite and Hera we go to Aphrodite's room in Heaven that is really really big and well decorated...
Kyra fell asleep so I put her on the bed and sat behind a table with Aphrodite and Hera where we discussed our next step... The step of making Earth believe in Gods again.
Hostile takeover? Peaceful takeover? Those are the two options right now... And I don't know which one to pick...
Should I rip humans apart, throw tank shells at tanks, litteraly tear planes apart?
Or should I peacefully talk to all of the countries and if they don't accept the term that gods exist and that the Five Species need Five countries and areas to live in... I'll show a little bit of force but I won't rip humans apart and throw shells and tear planes apart.
Which one...
Author - Here you go. A new chapter. I've decided that it's enough of peace time for now... Well, you can decide that actually.
I gave you readers two chances.
Hostile or Peaceful. Say the answer in the comments.
Also, sorry for the one month skip but the Beach Event is so overused and I couldn't think of anything fun and new for the one month timeskip anyways.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
