AN: This is my second chapter of my humble self. Thank you to the minority that gave me encouragement when i posted last time! :) (This is going to basically explaining some things, and an info dump chapter. So bring your popcorn!)
Also i thought it would be better to organise how certain thing laid out from now on since i gained enough confidence now to continue, so here's the key:
(‘-’) = thoughts
(“-”) = speaking
((-)) = extra info
([-]) = character who is speaking
(*-*) = action

Chapter 2: Chat with a Goddess
Krystal’s POV:
[???] “Hey! Are you even listening?!”
Was shouted by the adorable little girl that was standing in front of me in this black, empty space. ‘Oh? Did this little girl die too? What a waste she would have grown up into a beautiful woman.’
I thought despite the present situation, not even caring that I myself had already died, I mean what was so great about that life?
The girl seemed to seemed to be annoyed by what I just thought, ‘Can she read my mind? Pfft who am i kidding.’
[Little Girl] “Will you just listen to me already! I hate how you just go off into your own world doing your own little thing in that miniscule brain of yours, and won’t even pay attention to the person speaking to you! Heck I should just… WAIT! Why are you drooling?!” She started lecturing me before she stopped for a moment, and shouted out in surprise, and shock.
[Krystal] “!, Shit!” I cursed under my breath when I noticed what I was doing.
Now I know what you all may be thinking (since you're all just a figment of my imagination), and no i am not a lolicon since I don’t really care about their age or size as long as they are cute, and hell is this girl the absolute pinnacle of adorableness i’ve never seen anyone cuter in my life!
[Kry] Wiping away the drool on my face I said in panic “sorry! sorry! When i took a closer look I just realised how cute you were!” Hearing what I said I immediately clamp my hand over my own mouth to shut myself up.
Hearing this the girl had a shocked expression as if she wasn’t expecting me to say that, I swear that I heard an “ I’m cute? hehehehe”, and she even strongly blushed with a happy look on her face.
[Little Girl] *cough cough* “A,anyway, moving on.” she said, regaining her composure. “Congratulations you have received the right to become a lesser god!” she said with vigor, and wore a business-like smile on her face.
She is a girl who looks around 13ish, with long silver hair, and black highlights. She has pupils in the shape of a + sign, and were Pitch-black tinted in silver, her skin is pale white like ceramics. Her figure gave the impression that you were staring at the night sky during a cloudless night. That is, with her slim body-type, and immature body, she already surpases even the greatest of buties I had ever seen.
[Kry] “Huh? A god? What are you on about Loli-chan?” I asked confused.
[Artemis] “Hmph! I have a name you know! I told you it earlier! But i suppose you weren't listening at the time… my name is Artemis, and I am the Major Goddess of the Moon. Also it isn’t a god it’s a Lesser God there is a massive difference!” She exclaimed as she spread her arms wide as if showing how large the difference between the two status’ are.
‘How cute, i just want to pick her up, and take her home.. but i guess i don’t have a home now do I?’ I thought as I got the sudden urge to hug the little ball of adorableness in front of me.
[Kry] “Okay.. Artemis-chan? can you please explain to me what you mean by me becoming, an Lesser God?” I asked recovering somewhat from the initial shock of what she said.
[Artemis] “Fine, let me educate you on the systems of the gods, mortal!” she said with a haughty expression, which only made her look cuter. “There are 7 different rankings among gods, they go in this order from lowest to highest: Demigod, Lesser God, Minor God, Regular God, Greater God, Major God, and True God.”
She then went on to further explain the meaning behind the ranks, and the requirments to get them. For a Demigod, it was to have two or more godly traits during your mortal life that allows you to count as a demigod, they mostly are the champions of other gods.
Lesser Gods, they are people that lived at least one life as a Demigod, and must have gathered enough godly essence to reincarnate as a god in their next life. There is also the condition that you must not commit 3 or more great sins, i was lucky in that I only really ever committed one great sin (Is what Artemis told me). Lesser Gods are gods that can only exist, and live in the mortal realms, as they grow, and gain more power in order to ascend to become a minor god. The Lesser God must also be reincarnated to mortal parents so the body, and soul aren't crushed by the sudden change.
There are two conditions to becoming a minor god. The first is that you must establish your own faith in the mortal realms. The second condition is that the must have gathered enough godly essence that it is at least 100 times that of the average Lesser god. Minor gods have the role of governors for separate parts of other worlds, though this influence is limited by the amount of divine energy provided by your followers (divine essence is generated by the faith you believers have, stronger or more faith = more divine power).
Regular Gods, are the gods that oversee a religion that spans at least an entire continent in size, and has accumulated divine power equal to that for at least 250 years. To become a Regular God you must also have gained enough good or evil karma in order to under go that final ritual deciding if your a god of light or god of darkness. There are less dark gods than light gods purely because it is harder to gather evil karma while generating divine power, and vice versa. This whole process on average takes about 5-7 thousand years to complete.
After explaining this to me Artemis said I don’t have a high enough ranking in order to know anything else about the greater gods or above.
[Kry] “So.. What your saying is that I have achieved the requirements to become a Lesser God so now I’m going to reincarnate as one?” I said somewhat apprehensively, and disbelievingly.
[Artemis] *sigh* “yes that is exactly what i’ve been trying to tell you this entire time” she said in a matter-of-factly way.
[Kry] “So I finally went cray didn’t I? I mean first I die, and now there is this little girl trying to tell me she is some kind of god, and that I will be reincarnated as one too? I mean, isn’t going insane supposed to be as a sort of closure, and not to torture you even more? Why the hell would i want to reincarnate when I just lived a life like that?! Also why would I even be killed in that situation?!” I said with quite a bit of anger showing on my face.
*SLAP*
[Kry] “Huh? Slap?” I said confused.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
I then realised that I had been slapped across the face, and sent flying. ‘why is there such a delay between my being hit, and realising whats going on?!’ I thought to myself as i really was confused on my reaction time.
[Artemis] “Will you just shut up already!” was just shouted by the gild that had apparently just slapped me really~ hard.
[Artemis] “Maybe i should enlighten you on why you died?” she said in an arrogant tone. “The two that killed you are the same people that killed Bianca (Bianca is the name of the person Krystal liked). They were just taking revenge on you for killing their leader. Who just so happened to be Bianca’s fiance, and just so you know that had tracked the killer back to you after only a week, though don’t ask me why they waited a whole six months to make their move. Also the reason they just shot you like that was, because they're the kind that enjoys their meal a little cold, so yeah, they're still going at it like the sick, and twisted humans they are.” She said indifferently as if nothing she said really matter at all.
When what Artemis said had finally sunk in a shocked, and unbelievable furious expression appeared on my face.
[Kry] “WAIT! So you mean I missed two of the bastards?!” I screamed with overflowing rage.
[Artemis] “Why is that what you’re upset about?!” Artemis cried out at my statement like it was strange.
‘What’s wrong with being angry that I couldn't take revenge in full?’
[Artemis] “Either way you don’t get a choice in whether you reincarnate or not!” Artemis said with an expression, and tone that screamed that she was fed up with my behaviour.
I was pretty angry that she was going to force me to live another life, and I’m pretty sure that I shouldn’t even believe her, but for some reason I get the feeling I should trust her, and everything she said.
[Kry] “So.. Is there anything else that I may need to know? You know… BEFORE you reincarnate me against my will” I purposely said in an irritated, and sarcastic way.
[Artemis] *sigh* “Fine.. I guess you will need to know about the general state of the world, and it’s concepts of magic.” She said giving up on trying to deal with me.
When I heard the word magic my eyes started to sparkle, ‘Maybe reincarnating may not be too, too bad?’ I thought trying to cover up the fact that the possibility of learning magic made me instantly rethink my earlier decision.
[Artemis] Seeing my excitement Artemis gave a little smirk, and continued on. “The world you will reincarnate into is one of the worlds that i personally govern, and also one of only 3057 worlds that have magic present within. This world is in a similar period to Earth's middle ages, only a lot less poverty is present due to the existence of magic which also slows technological advancements. There are several different species in this world that your own would have called mythological creatures, of them there are 8 sentient species with a total of 9 sentient species including humans. These 8 include: Beast-Men, Elves, Dwarves, Draconians, Orcs, Demons, Angels, and Dragons.”
After saying this she gave me a basic lecture on the relations between the races, which goes something like this: Humans hate Beast-Men, and Beast-Men hate humans. Elves hate Orcs, and Orcs don’t really care about them, but resent both Demons, and Angels. Draconians are on bad terms with everyone but Elves, Dwarves, and Dragons. Demons, and Angels will fight every single time they meet. Beast-Men, and Humans believe that Demons are evil. Dwarves generally don’t interact with outsiders, but will aid the Dragons, and Draconians when needed, also they are on bad terms with the Elves. Everything else was just a regular neutral relationship.
[Artemis] *Inhale* taking a deep breath Artemis started her explanation on magic. “Now for magic. There are 5 different types of affinities that you can have in magic. These affinities are: Body, Mind, Elemental, Spirit, and Soul affinities. Each one of them have different sub-affinities that you can have. Regular Mortals, like Humans can only have one affinity, but magic beings, like Elves can have two affinities. Depending on your rank as a god you can have even more affinities. Lesser Gods have three affinities, while Minor Gods have four, and Regular Gods have five.” She said explaining the basics of magic affinities.
[Artemis] “I want you to know that as you will become a Lesser God you will have your own three magic affinities. They will be in the following three categories: Elemental, Spirit, and Soul affinities, and will respectively be in the sub-affinities; earth, love, and life. There are also lesser affinities that you will specialize in to decide what kind of god you will become in the future, but even I can’t tell what they are until you personally awaken your talent in them.” As she finished her sentence she gave an *sigh*, and slumped her shoulders as if the whole thing had exhausted her.
With all the information that had just been relayed to me by word my head had started spinning, but I still somehow managed to absorb all the information that had been said. though it would take time to thoroughly understand it, i’m guessing I have a lot of time to do just that in the future.
[Artemis] “Okay now that, that’s done, time to send you off!” She said in a cheerful voice which seemed honestly, and innocently exited.
[Kry] “Wah? Wait!” I said in a panic as my vision started turning dark, and my consciousness was slipping away.
The last thing I saw before I started my new life was an incredibly cute girl that was waving,and saying “Bye, bye!” with a smile on her face.
Artemis’ POV:
I watch as Krystal Fades from my view, and moves onto the reincarnation cycle, and gets sent to her new family to start over.
‘Now that she’s finally gone I can move onto my next line of business!’ I cheerfully thought as I was smiling away since I was excited for what was going to happen next.
Opening a portal I step through, and what appears in my line of sight is a world of green, blue, and brown. It is exactly the world that I sent Krystal too. I move closer to it at a speed faster than even light, becoming only a blur to the naked eye, after all no matter how powerful you are you can’t see what you can’t see.
Looking down on this world I call my own I start the chant for a spell that only those of Greater God rank, and above are capable of using. This spell is titled Self-Reincarnation. My target? It’s a certain Moon Elf couple in a certain Elven village.
As I start getting sucked toward this world only one thought flows through my mind. ‘Krystal, no matter the cost I will make you mine’.
