Why was I created....why? “Because of one reason Gladius... I was bored"....that was the elder gods answer he said it with such a huge grin on his face...like he had no regrets. That’s the first thing I remember about my creation. His grin "well what do I do next" I asked him "whatever you see fit although ill rather you become a guardian for the humans defend them from the various monsters that plague them...that is my preference. However you have the right to choose whichever path you want so long as the humans believe in you, you will continue to exist"
Apparently I was the 7th god he created .he also created us a city and later on introduced other gods. Including a spirit to maintain oder. This spirit would show up on the earth and destroy a good portion of the earth. And then a hero with a god’s blessing would defeat it, then it would come back to the city of gods...after a while the spirit would take a form of another creature e.g. dragon or giant griffin, then it would go back and destroy a good portion of the earth, Repeating the cycle over and over...even though the humans came first they soon begun to revere the gods that this elder god created some gods chose to co-exist with the humans while others chose to be rulers over them...we were almost omnipotent although the elder god was on a clearly different level than us, The biggest difference being we normally had to sleep every 1000 years to maintain our strength while he didn't. We got cocky. And overslept in the dimension of rest all we needed were about 20 years and we slept at different times but as times went on we too became bored and we would sleep for longer periods. “taking...taking all these humans wanted was to take from us we thought.....until one specific millennia I went to sleep and when I woke up my powers had not recovered...actually I was in worse shape.
When I materialized in the city of gods from the dimension of rest. There he was. The elder god just looking at me with that giant grin of his..."what's happening I asked...why Do I feel this way?" "Simple. You overslept again” “he replied" “what” “well you see...they don't need you anymore...you slept when they needed you most and they in turn found a way to survive by themselves. Do you know how many human deaths you caused every time you all stopped going there? The humans went to mountains and prayed for help from their beloved guardians but no one. But the monsters that hunted them came. Even though they named even their cities after you still wanted more from them when you knew they couldn't do so “when he said this I felt so much guilt. But then I realized I couldn't sense the other gods nearby..."were are the other gods did they...die? “no they did not they took on human bodies to prevent themselves from losing any more power and went down to earth to live as humans or to be accurate demi god's at least that's what some are calling themselves .for me though what makes a god isn't how much power” “I see...then... I will be going as well...i opened a portal “you knew this would happen didn't you"...i smiled and looked back at the elder god...the elder god didn't say anything..."well just watch because I will make a name for myself and retain my powers as the 7th god Gladius" I said and walked through the portal that I linked to the city named after me"

what I found shocked me of course...man had made such a huge improvement in the thousand years I was asleep...he made metal machines powered by Numa large buildings....devices they called computers and most of all they brought their imagination to life and created manga and moving pictures called movies and cartoons.....by now I expected myself to be a well-known god. But damn....living as a human is hard....living in a small apartment...forced into being a god for hire. This is as embarrassing as it gets
