Author's Corner! Hey guys, Fairsky here. I have a lot of trouble concentrating on one project at a time, so I've decided to diversify my stories to give my poor brain a chance to not get to bummed out on one thing.
I've posted some ideas for some new stories I wanna do. I probably won't do what the top vote is, but I'll definitely take the options into consideration when deciding what to do.
Thanks!
-Only GD!
-Work a bit on Seekers
-Drama about survivors in an apocalypse where everybody has unique superpowers, and giant mutant animals roam the earth.
-Something new! (VRish)
-Something new! (Fantasyish)
-Something new! (Sci-fiish) Sci fish? what the hell’s a sci fish? that sounds interesting!
-Sci-fish I dunno, something about a fish with superpowers and shit. It can also fly, except that it can’t breath so flying is competely useless. It’s not human intelligent or anything, it’s just like a goldfish that can fly, but can’t leave the water.
In more relevant news, I'm adding more action in, and i'm also expanding the world to outside of Eternia. THE PLOT THICKENS!

Chapter 7

Mr. Ramion, it has come to our attention that the dates of the failed experiments to bring coma patients to the virtual world has coincided with DRILL apparently downloading a huge amount of data without permission. This is extremely disconcerting as DRILL has denied doing such a thing, claiming that the data transfer records are just an error. DRILL is not able to lie, so we must assume that he is telling the truth, except DRILL has been acting strangely as of late. Something doesn’t feel quite right. Please advise.

Mrs. Barring, as you have stated, DRILL is unable to lie as the main programmer of DRILL, you should know that. Phuturetek industries won’t take action over something as vague as ‘something doesn’t feel quite right.’ As such, we won’t take any course of action to undermine a multibillion dollar project. If our investors hear of anything that supports the idiotic and baseless idea that DRILL is unstable, we will all be out of a job.
I suggest that you don’t ever speak of this again to anybody. You should also delete all traces of this conversation from your computer. I’ll have one of the techs delete this for you if you will not.
On an unrelated note, you will be receiving a massive bonus at the end of the year, for your help in developing DRILL, and through proxy, the highly successful Fields of Eternia.
Have a nice day Mrs. Barrings.
It’s been four days since I’ve become a god, and I’ve been mostly kept to myself in my domain. Besides Thoth sending me large amounts of information about the world through a kind of messaging system, I haven’t had any contact with the other gods.
I was... Bored. I did nothing all day except watch my hundreds of new followers.
I’m a god, I should be able to do anything I want! What’s with this stupid restriction that I can’t go to the Mortal Realm!
Thoth recently told me that there were huge restrictions, magical items, and a large divinity cost to be summoned to the Mortal Realm for even a few minutes. I’ll never be able to go at this rate!
It seems that there are a few ways of gaining intimacy with gods, which includes performing quests for me, giving me an experience tax, donating money, or even just impressing me. I have been occasionally dishing out quests to some of my more promising followers. Interestingly enough, I seem to be able to give them gold and experience from my own coffers, which were donated by other followers at an earlier date. I’m also able to ‘buy’ magical items and send them as quest rewards to my followers. Every day I’m given a set amount of a kind of item currency which I can then use to create magical items for quest rewards. Currently, because of my follower base, they’re all rather shitty, +2 intelligence rings and the such. I gave an epic staff to one of my followers once, but he ended up just selling for half of its value because he apparently didn’t want a staff that gave fire affinity. How the hell am I supposed to know what you’re going to make your build be! I can’t read your mind!

My first follower left my services a couple days ago and decided to become a follower of a minor craftsman god after finding his true calling in bashing metal instead of of skulls, which I was pretty pissed about since now I have to wait for another couple days until I can bless somebody again. That’s what I get for just blessing people at random.
Argh! I hate this fucking job! It’s so boring!
It seems that I’m able to communicate with my high priest clearly without using my communication ability, and I can also kind of communicate with my regular priests, although the messages are rather garbled and vague.
I’ve also been practicing my magic lately, and I’ve even been able to create golems that I’m able to send to the Mortal Realm, although they’re extremely weak. Up here in the Heavenly Realm they’re so tall I accidentally broke the roof. When I send them down, however, they’re usually no bigger than a beagle. Golden retriever tops.
What if I can... If I can create a golem, and if I’m able to control the golems... can I create a little me? That I’m able to adventure and fight with?
I immediately set to work on creating the golem. After another three days, I finally finish.
ding!
Libra has gained the skill Create Puppet!
Create Puppet
A skill created by Libra using an incredible amount of luck and her unique ability of combining conflicting magical schools.
Create a little adventurer-you. Able to manipulate as you see fit, and even borrow the senses of. Is incredibly weak but can learn abilities like adventurers.
Costs:10 Divine Power to initially summon
If it has died, you may pay 1 Divine Power to resummon it, at a slightly weaker state.
In the week since I have become a god, I have only gained one Divine Power, which brings up the total to 121. After using this ability i’ll be down to 111, making my initial advantage over the other gods moot. All in the name of adventure, I say!
I instantly summon the puppet in front of me.
It surprisingly looked just like me except without all of the godly gear.
My dirty blonde hair is long again, and tied up into a braid. I also decided to give myself a sword similarly shaped to my godly sword so that I can get used to sword combat in case I ever have fight for real.
Adventurer-me is dressed up in some light iron armor with leather straps, the whole outfit making me look rather badass.
I focus my mind like I do with my golems to control them
ding!
Libra and Lee have gained the skill Split Focus
Split Focus
You can split your mind into two parts to focus on different activities at the same time.
Half your mental stats while using Split Focus.
Useful for dual casting spells.
‘I wonder who Lee is?’
I used split focus, and was immediately disoriented. After a bit of experimentation, I found out that I couldn’t really move that much in one body while controlling the other, but that’s fine, I didn’t really move in my godly form anyways.
