Interlude: Divine failure

Interlude: Divine failure

In a place of only darkness, a being rejected by light was considering their options "What should I chose!?" The being was still in a panicked state "I looked through all the candidates and I only found two good ones!"

Name: Able drake Ocupation: Drake house's heir Age: 5 years 4 days personality: Cold, carefull, minor perfectionism, manipulative, scheming Very high wisdom Extremely high intelegence High endurance Very high strength average vitality Below average charisma above average agility Extremely high luck Titles: Above leaders, Talented (2) inclinations: Space, thunder, Darkness, time, skills, swords, QCQ, bows, mana, arcana, wizardry, poison, politics, organized crime, business. Beasts: Darkness & light, high power (Darkness) low power (Light) Affinity to user: 89% Chance to accept sponsership: 96%

The being was suprised that two new inclinations were added and one lost, mortals didn't change inclinations this fast normally. It didn't matter anyways, the being had found a better one.

Name: Imazuma Amana Ocupation: Commoner Age: 5 years 7 weeks personality: Pure hearted, selfless, self-sacrificial, optimistic, loyal average wisdom average intelegence low endurance low strength average vitality above average charisma average agility above average luck inclinations: Sanitation, nature, beasts, equality, justice, non-violence, reformation Beasts: Above average earth Affinity to user: 58% Chance to accept sponsership: 75%

The being thought the name was weird, but that pure hearted and optimistic trait in the personality section was priceless. The being chose to take a chance, but first had to ask "H-has Gaia already contacted one of them?"

Affirmative, able has been contacted but not recruited.

This response was weird for the being, they hadn't been recruited after being contacted? "Access record of contact" The being was happy that gaia was so certain in their success that they let the being look at their records to flex their superiority. What the being saw shocked it, first a middle aged male human appeared behind the angel 7. The human after processing the situation crouched and sneaked up on angel 7, then quickly gave 7 a roundhouse kick to the side of 7's head. The human couldn't do any damage, right after he retracted his leg and stood shocked. The human tricked 7 into believe someone else attacked her, and conversed with her, making friends with the nieave angel till contact was voided.

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

The being asked "Are you sure this is the mortal Able's record?"

Affirmative, Able's record was opened.

The being was in shock, it's been a long time since a child had the soul form of an adult. It was a rare phenomena, but right now rarity meant nothing to the being, it would only be usefull for bragging like what gaia loved to do "Prepare contact to Imazuma Amana."

Noted, do you wish to hibernate till contact?

"Yes" the being said, after which it went into a sleep like state.

Then the being woke up inside of the standard white cube, and a female child stood there too. Knowing that the first impression was important "Hello Imazuma Amana"

The girl was taken aback "Are you the one that brought me to this world?!"

The being knowing it wouldn't be able to keep up the lie of the being bringing the child into this world in the way the being interpreted it "No, that isn't in the domain of the gods. It happened 'cause a trancendent chose to do it, or you got lucky."

"Oh" The child accepted it "Then who are you?"

"I am what you would call a god with the element of darkness." The being explained readily.

"Why do you look like, that." The female child asked, wondering why the being was a black haze.

The being again gave an apt answer, not wanting to make the girl hate the being if the child saw through the lie "I am a god without followers, a formless being without a name or form. If I were to gain a follower they would choose my name and form, but it could be lost if I were to lose all followers again."

"What? Really?" The child was shocked "That's terrible."

The being took the chance "This topic is actually connected to why I'm here,"

"Really?" The girl asked curiously

The being said "Yes."

The child said impatiently "Why aren't you saying it then?"

"I'll get to it right now" The being said "I wish to offer you a sponsorship, it won't be at the level of gaia, but you won't need to follow any rules or orders I give you."

"What's a sponsorship? And what do you want me to do then?" the child asked out of curiosity

"All I want you to do is survive. And a sponsorship is where a god sponsors a mortal with skills, for a bunch of things." The being said

The child said nervously "I don't know, I'm not sure."

After that the being did its best to suck up to the child, but in the end the screen appeared

The time for convincing is up.

Looking at candidate's thoughts of accepting...

then another

Thoughts of accepting too low to continue.

And the child dissapeared, while the child was dissapearing the being waved goodbye to the child. After the child was gone the being.... Just look at it yourself "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Nooooo! My big break just dissapeared! W-wait maybe I missed a gem inside of the list." Filled with fleeting hope the being again looked at the list, telling itself "If I can't find anything I'll still have something to fall back on." Forceably stopping itself think about the chance that Able would be taken by gaia.
