Chapter 2
ding!
Your responsibilities as Libra, the Goddess of Life and Balance are more numerous than other gods. This is because of both your duel aspects, the fact that you are a Major God, and because you often have to settle fights between two of the most powerful forces in the universe.
ding!
Quest gained!
Balancing Act
Quest restrictions:
-Be a God of Balance
Quest conditions:
-Use your power as the Goddess of Balance to keep the forces of Order and Chaos from destroying all life in existence. If one side becomes too powerful, then take action to support the other side. You must be neutral in all things, or you will doom the universe.
Failure conditions
-Have either Order or Chaos destroyed
Quest Rewards
This is a continuous Quest and as such, there are no completion conditions. However, the more balanced Order and Chaos are, the more power you will gain each second.
Additionally, every action you take to Balance the scales will give you power.
Responsibilities, responsibilities, responsibilities... If this is a game, why can’t I just be an adventurer! Have some fun! The Gods are basically doomed to fail eventually.
I guess that’s why there’s an entity of Death and not Life. Unlike Life, Death is a certainty. All things die in time.
ding!

I sighed. At least I get something out of this mess
ding!
You will now be transported to the citadel of the Gods!
The world suddenly shifted from the endless white void, to a bustling city.
According to the scroll, there should be 411 other gods not counting the entities...
I wonder what all of their aspects are.
Noticing that everybody was staring at me, I looked down.
What. The. Fuck.
My green shirt and blue jeans had been replaced by a white toga which left my right shoulder uncovered. In my left hand I held a golden scale, In my right hand, I held a golden sword.
I quickly run through the crowd before I find a nice and secluded corner with no bustling.
“er-inventory!” I called out.
Instantly, a 3d model of myself pops up, along with my equipped items.
I looked older, maybe about 18 or 19 now. My previous long blonde hair was cut short, and I noticed something else as well. I was wearing a blindfold. Waving my hand in front of my face, I realized I could see just fine.
I mentally ‘clicked’ on the blindfold in my inventory.
ding!
Libra’s blindfold

I also checked out everything else I had on me
Libra’s sword
Sword used by Libra, the Goddess of Life and Balance

Will be placed into the hands of a worthy Mortal when the world is unbalanced.
Durability: infinite
Damage: 1000 true damage, (True damage ignores armor and resistances)
Divine Damage: 0.1
Damage multiplied by the balance of the world.
ex: If the world is in perfect balance, multiply damage by 10

50% balance= 5 multiplier
25% balance= 2.5 multiplier
10% balance= 1 multiplier
0% balance= 0.1 multiplier

Besides its infinite durability, it’s pretty much useless

Balancing weights x1
Tiny weights that one can put on Libra’s scales.
Useless on their own.
Directly influences the world’s order, depending on which side of the scale you put it on.
The Balancing weights are extremely rare, and are consumed upon use, so you should only use them in dire circumstances. If one is able to use a Balancing weight on Libra’s scales, they can easily save or destroy the world.
Libra's Scales
A golden scale that one can use Balancing weights on to change the balance of the world.

I focused and mentally clicked on a couple of aspects I was curious about.
ding!
Divine Health is the amount of health you have. Upon depletion of all of your health, you will lose one point of Divine Power. It is extremely hard to deplete even a single point of Divine Health.
Demigods do not use divine health, and they cannot drop below 1 Divine Power.
You gain more Divine Health and Divine Health Regen per God Rank.
Divine Power is how strong of a god you are. You can gain Divine Power from performing quests or performing actions that are related to your aspects. Major Gods can also gain Divine Power from followers.
To become a stronger tier of God, you require Divine Power.
Mortal: 0 Divine Power
Demigod: 1 Divine Power
Minor God: 10 Divine Power
Major God: 100 Divine Power
Entity: 1000 Divine Power
Please Note that if you drop even 1 point below the threshold, your god rank will be lowered.
hmmm... I better be careful to not piss anybody off before I gain enough power...
I wonder what the balance of the world currently is, it’s extremely important to me, so I should probably keep an eye on it. errr... How do I look at it?

He guys, Fairsky here, I have 2 more chapters already written, and i'll be posting a chapter a day. After that, however, I might go to 1 every 1-2 days.
I'm also trying to write longer stories, and I'm aiming for about the 1000 words mark. If you guys think that I should make shorter or longer chapters, tell me.
