----------------------------------------

--- Within Ethos's dreams ---

"Heir. It is nice to finally see you... In person atleast." (???)

"Huh? Who's there?!" (Ethos)

"It's me, The Creator. Remember, you are my 'Toy' right?" (The Creator)

"So... You are the one who controsl everything... But where are you?" (Ethos)

"Above you." (The Creator)

I look above and see an old man with a really long beard just hovering. Well... I am hovering aswell. The old man is wearing a robe and has a wooden walking cane.

"It is time to tell you... You are not my Toy, but my Heir. Do not tell this to anyone. I couldn't keep this a secret anymore because the stronger gods are getting suspicious about the amount of attention i'm putting into a mere toy so I had to tell you so you would know to prepeare.. I will not update your screen because the gods and goddesses can see it. The reason I want this to be a secret is... When a God or Goddess challenges you for the spot as my Heir and you lose... I have to give them all the power that you would've had. And I've seen many gods go insane with power. I erased them from existence ofcourse but I cannot do that to my own Heir. Keep this a secret, Ethos. I shall help you as much as I can. I shall grant you one power, Ethos... The Power to travel the realms. Use it to find new and exciting things. This world is gradually degrading due to the influx of 'gamers' that think the people inside this world aren't real..." (The Creator)

"So you mean to tell me... Virtual Worlds are Real ones? You mean to tell me every A.I and NPC is actually a real person...?" (Ethos)

"Yes. They are. The machines you call 'servers' basically enslave them underneath a system. The same system that you use to kill them and the monsters of this land. How do you think you can be in this world without being in your past world at the same time? Talking about Time... It's time for me to go. It'd be suspicious if I came into your dreams for too long." (The Creator)

The Creator starts shining and then dissapears leaving me into the white emptiness we spoke in...

I soon wake up.

--- Back in Globus Online ---

I wake up and look out the window... It's still midnight... Let's go and see what is going on.

I try to get up but I feel something holding me back. I look underneath my blanket to find Hera and Kyra underneath it... They are sleeping soundly...

I silently get up from the bed and leave the room after putting the blanket back on them. I definetly heard Kyra say my name...

After I left my room I go outside the Inn and walk around the city for a bit. The City is completely empty and not even a player is online here except me... I'd expect a player to be online but no... No players.

I walk to the middle tower and jump up to the top and look at the surrounding area.

"Why did he tell me all that so suddenly... Just because a god or two got suspicious he granted me the power to travel through worlds... Why didn't he just instantly give me all the powers? Are there requirements...? Things you need to do? Or is he waiting for me to learn something?" (Ethos)

I sit down and start thinking about what the Creator said and what I am going to do now. If what the Creator said was right... That means Gods and Goddesses will start coming after me... The Greek Gods should be weaker than me if Aphrodite is right but the other gods are still in the dark...

Damn that old man! Giving me so much information but not a hint about what to do now! He litteraly dumped all the information on me and left! I'll have to speak with him later... And by later I mean when I actually get powerful enough not to be hunted...

And what is this power he gave me? The power to travel worlds... How do I use it? Hmm...

I bring up my abilities tab and look through it and find Travel World...

I click on it's description to read what it can actually do.

Ability DescriptionName and Ability TypeWorld TravelTransportation TypeCurrent Avaible Transportation Locations:EarthKuranHeaven

I can go to... Earth? Heaven aswell... Earth seems more tempting right now... Heaven sounds dangerous if the Gods are suspicious of me being a 'Toy' or something else.

I use the World Travel ability and three choices come up. Earth, Kuran and Heaven. I press Earth and a blue light covers me and I can't see anything.

The light starts slowly dissapearing and I notice I am in a different place... I am in my Apartment... Well what used to be my apartment building. It's now completely destroyed... Can I still fly here? I jump up into the air and go above the clouds. My entire body starts shining a light golden but mostly green colour as I fly.

If I remember correctly... Iris's and Jil's location should be to the East of me... But I thought I existed in the servers and only due to that I could live...

I fly to the East and I start going over a large sea. While in the middle of that sea... A god appeared next to me. It was Poseidon, God of the Seas. I recognized him immediatly due to his trident.

"Hello, Ethos the Creator's Toy. I see you finally got that ability to world travel like most gods. Welcome to Earth." (Poseidon)

"Hello, Poseidon, God of the Seas. I did. It's nice to be on Earth. I'm still confused about a couple things... I don't think you could answer them though... They are about my co-existence with the servers." (Ethos)

"That, I can answer. You do not need these 'servers' to exist. Many of us thought that we needed something to exist until that something got destroyed. I had a ball made out of Lapis... It got destroyed a few centuries ago because of a submarine battle. I thought I died but I didn't. Gods only need something to be created. Once they are created, they do not need anything to exist. They need things to get powerful, but not to exist." (Poseidon)

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Oh... So that explains that... Thanks Poseidon." (Ethos)

"The least I can do to a new God. I see you left Hera and Aphrodite back on Kuran?" (Poseidon)

"Yeah. I am just doing a test-drive right now. If I sound calm right now... I'm not. I'm really confused and a little panicked... I got so much information at once due to this power and now I don't know what to do." (Ethos)

"Exist. I know you are stronger than me so you should have no problems existing. I do not know why you are stronger than me but I can feel it. Oh... Land. I'll see you around, Ethos." (Poseidon)

Poseidon dissapears into the ocean while waving at me and I keep flying. I fly fo a bit to the East and see a city and I land a few kilometers away from the city and walk there. I still have my black clothing but that shouldn't matter right now... I'll let them think of me as a cosplayer or something.

I enter the City and notice a few places still open... I wonder if anybody is at the office right now... Where is the company headquarters anyways?

Oh... A old man. I'll ask them... Old people are trustworthy.

I go up to the old man.

"Hello... I need some directions. Where is the Globus Online company?" (Ethos)

"Ah, just follow this road to the end. The Company is right at the end of this very long street." (Old Man)

"Thank you." (Ethos)

I keep walking towards the location the old man told me where the Company should be.

I walk for half an hour and see a huge building with the Globus Online company mark on it. I think I found the right place...

I look up into the sky and notice it should be around 1:30... If I want to get back before they wake up I only have six and a half hours to do things here before I need to go back.

I try to open the door but it is locked so I just jump up to the roof and enter through that. I do not know if I can phase through things yet... I walk down the stairs and into a room where all the offices seem to be. Hmm? Somebody is still working this late at night?

I go up to the office that still has a person inside it.

I see a masked man entering wrong passwords. I stand behind him and look to the side to find the name of whose office this is...

Jillian... Falkalore...

The masked man finally gets the password right and brings out an USB flash driver. I grab it and knock him out at the same time and drag him off the seat and enter the USB flash driver myself.

It seems like the Flash Drive has a 'Virus' 'Spyware' and such folders... I guess he was going to mask them as normal files...

I grab the Flash Drive and snap it in half and then look through Jil's folders for a bit. I want to know what she is doing...

I go into a folder named 'Reports'.

So... Many... Reports... So many reports about me... I open one of the Reports and it is about how she is trying to get closer to me to study me more because I hacked the servers and call myself  god... She doesn't believe it huh?

Hmm... There's a report about questioning Iris. So that's what took so long... Not a fight but the questioning...

I should've known honestly. There's no way a company will willingly leave their servers in the hands of one 'hacker'.

I look at the Report about questioning her... It seems they told Iris to say that she loved me to get her closer to me... She told me about her life story but after that it's all lies huh...

I'll open the latest report...

"Oh god... I'm slowly falling for him... He acts so nice around us and helps us... I need to find something to get my mind off him... Iris seems to have already fallen for him truly... We were just faking at first but now... I do not know..." (Jil's Report)

Hmm... This isn't pleasant at all. Iris and Jil are faking, they are trying to get Emilia to do it aswell... It seems they won't try to convince Kyra, Aphrodite and Hera to do it aswell as they think they are just NPC's I designed to love myself to make myself feel better.... They honestly don't think that Gods and Goddesses exist huh?

I close the Report folder and look around a little bit more. A Pictures folder huh? I open it up and see Jil with a man near a fountain. I guess this is her real boyfriend... No no, that man is a little too old... Is this her father possibly? That seems more possible.

I close that folder aswell and see one folder hiding behind a clock app in the top right corner. I open it and I see... A lot... Yeah no... I don't want to see this anymore... Oh dear Creator... Jil needs a real boyfriend, ASAP. I close the folder and hide it even better so she can't find it anymore. By that... I mean I delete it.

I make a note in the middle...

"Jil! Find yourself a damn boyfriend! That folder was damn creepy and full of things anybody younger than 18 shouldn't actually have! You are older than 18 yes but it's still very creepy to have so much of those pictures." (Note)

Aaand done. I save the note and close the computer. If I could I would also demolish the computer but yeah... It has reports that probably are keeping her in this company.

Before I closed the computer I looked at the time and it was around four o' clock at night... I'll come back later...

I go back to Kuran and sneak into my room as not to wake the two girls sleeping on my bed and I sit on the chair and wait for them to wake up.

I won't tell Jil and Iris anything yet... I'll keep them in the dark. Emilia she doesn't need to know right now.

I'll need to find a way to actually get them to confess themselves to their little ploy.

----------------------------------------

Author - Sorry if this felt rushed. I know it does because I just dumped a lot of information on you all... I also said it in the Chapter quite a bit. But this is where things get interesting with Ethos jumping through the two worlds and messing things up and doing things.
