Emilia Pov:
I slowly cut a slice from the cake and present to my fiancé Narril. I can’t help it’s cute as he tries to not show how he hate sweet cakes.
I wait for my turn as sister’s presents him their slice. He is just so adorable.
No one else knows that he never really liked sweets, he only visited our family sweet-shop for me. Now he has to eat all the cakes prepared by extra sweet taste.
This is the bare minimum of punishment for him. I mean he always go out his way and end up doing something which rise the number of my rivals. A little annoyance for all he do.
What’s more as he gets older his achievement bring me closer to defeat. I am the first engaged to him. Only one more year and I will be the first wife. Still after his sixth fiancé all new addition is more extreme.
Bona the Lich. I never ever heard about undead race before and now our main God even gifted them.
Hah I sight inwardly.
If only she was the most special but soon he even got the Swamp Princess, Sage of Forest and lastly the Green Dragons Queen Erna.
With all new girl I feel my place as first wife is getting in more danger. No normal town girl can win against a Princess even more a Queen.
Who knows who he will catch in the next year, a little discomfort from cake is certainly not enough punishment!
“Aaaaahh” – He once again accept my cake. But the face he is making makes me nervous.
He makes that face again! He is surely planning to do something again. I will absolutely stop him tonight. This night he is entirely mine!
Ceril Pov:
I slowly watch as Cecil takes her turn with the cake.
“Uwahh” – I sight inwardly. Narril and Emilia both makes a resolute face. I want to have that deep connection that they have.
When we joined the town only they accepted us immediately. Still I won’t lose.
--- Hours later---- afternoon
I was just about to ask Narril about tomorrow plan when I see Emi behind his house. Narril house surrounded by some bush. That’s why it’s good to live in near the end of village, we played so much here.
“Hello Emi what are doing?”
She almost fall into the bush from where she was spying. – “Ceril! Don’t surprise me like this. I’m guarding Narril.”
“Guarding?”
“Yes! Didn’t you notice his face at the party?” – at my shrug, she turn back to the house. – “He surely will try and go out before night.”
So that’s her worry. I suddenly understand her. Tonight he is just her. I can’t just let her be here alone maybe she will even let me join them if we catch him. I smile inwardly as I join her.
Narril Pov: - Forrest outside of town Battler’s End
Seeing the two girls hiding childishly almost make me overthink my escape. Almost.
I silently wave with my hand and make the dimensional mirror scatter. It’s time to start before the gods notice my acts.
I close my eyes and try to sense this world background mechanism. Yes they are using it.
To understand why I just silently take victory position the most basic feature of all thinking being is the answer.
What is the most important for all who want to make something?
In one word: Sloth.
I can’t understand why most religion thinks pride is the most serious and sloth is the last sin. Most likely because they can’t accept it how much it affects everything. Even pride is if you understand why it did take hold of a person comes down from laziness.
If you are not lazy and work for you dream you will not to fall for empty pride.
With reaching your dream you get easily what you need even more then you want with avarice.
If you don’t lose you way in tardiness you reach any form happiness you wish never remain truly lost lust.
Envy never get a hold someone who gain what he wanted. And in truth destiny only chain down a minority of the living. If people would have the will to do better they would have never fall to any of the seven or the last eight great sin.
But that’s not all! The main reason why even gods should fear sloth is death. Gods have seven rank:
Demigod: Strongly connected to his/her birth dimension and concept. They live with the world and hardly have any chance to outlive it. Ok they are not effected so much with sloth but they are not even true gods. But the higher ranked are not so lucky.
Lesser God: Still connected to the world, cannot leave the world until its destruction. If they survive until it then they win. As for fearing tardiness they have reason. A lesser god needs the faith of believer’s.
Nah just kidding. What they need the will of believer. We god do not age, don’t have any general path for death. Believer’s dreams gives lesser gods purpose.
Even if you kill a god he won’t die because of injury. We die only if lose our self to boredom or someone break our will to do anything.
That’s why sloth is scary, you reach your objective to easy, often or just boringly and you are already half leg to nothingness.
Minor God: already not chained to world, but can only jump to world from world.
Mayor God: can enter the outer space between dimensions.
As for the second half of ranks, you are lucky if you never meat one. Well this world not so lucky after all I am already here.

To return why this help me is simple. We Gods are mostly thinking beings. So like any other being surely will try to reach our purpose as fast and with the least work we can.
Surely anyone have heard of different dimensions and worlds. So why are there mostly with similar races, magic’s and beasts? Template.
Why to work years if you can simple borrow other gods work and finish everything in days.
Thanks to this and over with non-numbered world that I created or destroyed I can easily access this world main laws and do a little cheat to escape from this situation.
Well even more than that language, history and so many other part of the world is generic, like main events: wars have only 3.659.958.663.225.222.541.222.144.333.555.988.666.332.541 variations.
Hahh. Even if you don’t want after you see half of them you can easily manage any strategic decision.
A ping sound almost make me fall from the tree where I sit.
Warning: [By your swift mind you have understood the majority of war. You gained greater mayor affiliation.]
Affiliation ranks:
Greater God of War and Domination
Greater God of Love and Lust
………
Ack I must absolutely not think about my real knowledge….
Well it’s not important. I will reset this all.
I once again concentrate and summon before myself the race selection screen. Now all I need is change my race. This will reset all my title and stat. Then I just give myself some new.
As I try moving the selector arrow over my race its start to glow in red. Ah that warning! I will force if I need!
“Yes!”- I slowly but surely force the arrow over to other race. –“Almost there, just a little bit.”
The moment my selection change the selection screen scatter and I fly backward from my position with an explosion.
My vision starts to fade but I can see that many warning flash before me. – “Uhhhps”
Then I lost consciousness. As my soul, my true self leave behind my mortal body I still notice the warnings.
Warning:
Title and stat Reset imminent. New settings in progress.
[World enemy] acquired
[Dual Destiny] acquired
[Hero and Hero Companion] acquired
[Demon Queen] acquired
[Unlucky Traveler] acquired
I am sure not many people saw crying soul flying of with grey smoke but if someone would have seen me swallowed by a gate they would surely get a new memory.
Love and Lust Pov:
“Where is he?” – I turn from my flying world mirror to the other gods. – “I lost him half an hours ago!”
The other gods are as well browsing the mirrors for information. I cannot remain seated and walf of from my throne.
“Where did he go? He surely have no idea why are we?”
Nature and Reign shakes they head and trying to make me less agitated. After so long we had the perfect opportunity.
Suddenly the floor start to sway.
“Earthquake?” – ask a lesser god.
“Fool! We are in heaven! How could be here an earthquake?”
Then the world started to shatter.
---- Days later----- Forrest outside of town Battler’s End
“Do we know who attacked him?” – Nature slowly rise from his knelling.
“No my Le-Love.” -Before us a gigantic crystal formation like an amber. The only difference is that in this amber like a gigantic bug a youth is closed. –“But he is alive!”
“This is only his mortal body!” – I angrily grab him now with my male form. – “We need him whole!”
“We will find him.”
“Oh surely will! I already have the perfect candidates who might to find him!”
Not much later all Narril lovers got a heavenly revelation.
“The One Being Sought. My chosen champion has been attacked, and fall to a soul less sleep. Young maidens of destiny. You girls are connected to him! Travel! Seek! Find him!”
That’s how greatest adventurer guild of the world has born overnight.
Maria Pov: Outer orbit – Seeker One space ship
I am standing in my lookout tower. Maybe the last time too watch our old world.
“Seer of the Corridor!” – A younger man approach me. – “We and the twenty other ship are ready to leave!
“How long before the sun burst?”
“Our newest evaluation three day.”
“Then give the signal! We begin the exodus!”
I turn back to the windows. Soon we will travel, with less than eight million active returner. We can’t help it. The others already reduced to vegetative meat bags. Even if they remain to burn then to freeze in the space. We cannot help them. I shiver as my own memory of those years returns to me.
The ships slowly starts to leave the Earth orbit.
“For the Corridor!” – Before I turn from the windows I seek one more time our sun. The slowly orange turning giant.
With new born resolution I prepare myself for the travel. Even if the travel to the next world will take seven hundred year what’s that little time for us?
After Christ: 3.135.052.023/04/01 Fools day- The day of great Exodus.
A perfect day for humanity hope.
