The planet Seyate, a world of swords and magic far from Earth. Ruste, the god in charge there.

An all-white-haired man in a white suit is walking down the street toward the temple.

was walking down the street toward the shrine. Appearing to be in his mid-twenties, he walked with a somewhat urgent gait, carrying a bundle of papers in his hands . He arrived in front of the shrine and called out to the master .

"Goddess, I have a situation to discuss with you."

As he stands for a moment, the door soon opens by itself . Talphon, a male aide to the goddess, walks inside the temple of Mun'an.

A woman stood in the center of the shrine. She was dressed in pure white, with silver hair, and her appearance was indescribably beautiful.

"What is it ?"

"Goddess , while I was performing my duties, something happened. The planet Seyate is about to fall into decline, but for details, please take a look at this document."

The silver-haired goddess, Darae . As she raised her hand, the papers in Talfon's hand were sucked away.

Taking the papers in her hand, Darae furrows her brow.

"This is a disaster, things are not looking good . What happened to the project's readiness? "

"We haven't worked out the kinks yet."

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Talphon replied, feeling a little uncomfortable, as this wasn't the time for pride. He had been recognized for his abilities and was a perfectionist.

"We have a big job ahead of us, so let's not sweat the small stuff."

"Goddess, but even a small problem could turn into something major later..."

Darae raised her eyebrows slightly as Talfon spoke up to voice his concerns.

"Stop. What are the chances of it becoming a big problem?"

"Th-there's a 5% chance of it becoming a problem for a junior, 1% for an intermediate, and less than 0.01% for a senior or a specialist, but..."

"Ha."

The goddess sighed at Talphon's answer.

"Talphon. You know I think highly of your character, but there are times in life when you need to look at the bigger picture, and this is one of them."

When a goddess speaks to you like this, it's treason if you don't obey. Besides, Darae was right. We must turn back the clock on the planet Sayate and set things in motion. By that time, it will be too late, because we cannot turn back time. 

"Yes. I see, then I'll let the 'Philosopher' project proceed."

With that, Talphon exits the temple and makes his way to the workshop where each god's counselors are gathered.

Aide's Office

The place looks like any other ordinary, but very busy, office. The difference is that each of them uses magic to create documents, and the way they fly around is different from that of Earth.

There is no set hierarchy among the aides, but there are periods of dominance. Right now, Talphon is their leader, and as he opens the door to his office and steps inside, he calls out.

"Aides, we're starting a project called Philosophy, on the planet Sayate. I expect you all to give your full attention to this task."

Boom, boom, boom.

The Philosopher Project was created for the development of philosophy on the planet Sayate. This was due to the lack of development of consciousness, which should grow with the development of technological civilization. Many gods were involved in this project. The god of games, the god of prophecy, and others were involved. That's a lot of resources invested.

There was a brief uproar among the counselors. But it soon subsided, and they focused on their new task.

They set out to find a being to teach philosophy on the planet Sayate.
