"Hey, Young One, You've been talking non-sense for a while now. What is wrong with you?"
"Wha!.... WHO'S THAT!!?"
I was celebrating in high spirits because of the situation, but to only hear a Holy-like voice calling to me. Am I really going crazy?
“Young One, I don’t understand that question. It is I, Messiah, the Spirit King. Is there any side effects on you after the [Soul Contract]?”
The voice answered. I still don’t know where he is but I feel like this voice is directly talking to me inside my head.
“….Spirit King he says, you’re Messiah? I don’t know what [Soul Contract] you’re talking about. Where exactly are you anyway?”
“……Young One, You are not making any sense; …..Ok, to answer you, I’m currently in the form of the [Spirit Kings Holy Sword • Great Ragnarok] as a catalyst to the ritual when we did the [Soul Contract] that binds us together with the destiny of you taking responsibility for the future of humankind. Does that make you recall anything? The ritual bore a side effect in regards to your soul it seems”
“I don’t know any of that, wait……..”
That scenario, taking a look at the sword I wield right as this is the Spirit King himself, recalling the events in the game in the final moments after defeating the Chaos, this is the exact scenario.
To elaborate, after defeating Chaos, there is this cut scene that plays that show how the ritual of [Soul Contract] takes place. The catalyst will take the form of the last weapon equipment type you use to defeat Chaos, which in my case is a [Great Sword].
After the cut scene you will be summoned back to the ground exiting the Spirits Holy Lands and resume the game gaining all the rewards after completing the [Main Story Quest Route].
“Ummm…… Sir Messiah, is that right? I also don’t understand the situation. This might sound confusing, but can you explain to me this situation to your understanding?”
Talking to yourself is quite understandable but talking to a sword? Yeah, if someone saw me doing this they’ll definitely think I’m crazy.
“There shouldn’t be any side effects from the ritual…… Is there a alternation in the Magic Formation?...”
This Messiah sure loves to murmur and talk to himself. This dude is a God right?
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
“Hello~~ Messiah-sama~, did you heard my question?”
*Pam *Pam
I tapped the sword to get his attention again.
“AH!.. My apologies, I was just lost in thoughts. So you want to know the current circumstances, right? We finished the ritual for our [Soul Contract] using the Magic Formation I developed in the Spirits Holy Lands. After that, I just gave the authority to manage the circulation of mana of the world to my Apostles, the [Great Spirits], as a form of compensation for having them suffer the toll of being used as a channel to spread Miasma. We just left the Spirits Holy Lands.”
If Messiah is telling the truth then this is the part in the ending where the credits ended and I just came back to the [Holy Spirit Shrine] that’s used as a path to open the door to enter the Spirit Holy Lands.
“You’re saying that this is the world of [Fantashiem]?”
So this [Summoning Altar] is the [Holy Spirit Shrine]? But it looks so different compared to what the game has.
“Yes, Young One, this should be….. Huh?”
“What’s wrong Messiah?”
“The flow…. The flow of Mana is different. Even the Mana Itself is not the same! What is this!? This is not [Fantasheim]!”
“Hey! Hey. Calm down, ok? I’m already confused. That’s why I’m asking you. But for you too also become confused? What are we supposed to do now?”
“This is not the time to idle around, Young One! Do you understand the situation!? We are in a different world!”
‘Yeah, I know, this is definitely a different world’ is I want to say, but this is not going anywhere if I add oil to the flames.
“Yes, Messiah, I know how grave the situation is. This is a different world but what can we do about it? And to tell you the truth I also don’t anything about this situation at all.”
Well I get the general gist of the situation but let’s listen to what Messiah thinks of this.
“Young One, you….. Ok, I will calm down. I feel ashamed of myself panicking while you look so calm.”
I’m not calm, I just accepted the situation, but I’m not dumb to not read the mood so I’m not going to say that.
“Young One, to tell you the truth I cannot do anything at all. The mana that is circulating the world is not mine so I can’t have the total control over it. I can manipulate the mana to create my own magical spell but I can’t totally control it to create anything at my will. This world doesn’t let me have my power as a Deity or as a God.”
Ah right, in the game, Chaos uses spell after spell without any incantations, chant or magic formation. I don’t really understand how it works but in the game you have to let out an incantations, chant or magic formation to materialized the exact magic that you want, but Chaos just let out a barrage of magic just like a machine gun without using any of those methods.
“To summarize everything, you’re not a God here, is that right?”
“…….That is right”
“And because of this reason you can’t do anything, and can’t explain this situation. Is that right?”
“That is right…… When exactly did you become so intelligent that you just grasp what I’m trying to convey? You were just like a beast that learns everything by instinct. What happened to you?”
Ah. That’s probably the real Carlos. This protagonist is the most cliché of cliché protagonist when it comes to fantasy hero story. Well I’m not going to explain everything to him. It will only add to Messiahs confusion.
“Ok, let’s investigate this world and learn our circumstances, shall we?”
“…..Ok, We Shall.”
I thought I was going to this alone but I have an unexpected companion. So let’s enjoy this different world!
