41 Ari (1/2)

In the console, Karl was looking over the world and admiring his creation. He looked at what the different gods did. Adum was in the afterlife, doing his job like he always did. Hoemis was in his dojo, teaching his new student. Aphy was a teacher and enjoyed her job.

Last but not least, Mutyx made someone immortal.

Karl enjoyed his world. It might not be perfect as with anything, there was still evil. In fact, as Karl was looking over the world, a hundred dragons have gathered and are planning to attack the Ancient Ones' biggest city.

Even with all of that, it was still his creation.

As Karl surveyed his world, he suddenly got a notification from the system.

[You have received a PM.]

Playing games basically his whole life, he knew what PM meant, it stood for private message. This was the first time he had received a PM, and he didn't even know if it was possible.

”Open the message,” Karl ordered the system.

[Ari:] Hello! My name is Ari, a fellow god. Please respond as soon as you get this.

Karl figured that there were other gods like him, but he didn't know that you could contact them. A virtual keyboard appeared in front of him as he thought of replying.

[Karl:] Hello, Ari. This is a surprise. To be honest, I didn't even know you could contact other gods, but I never tried. Why did you contact me?

With the press of a button, the message was sent. After a few seconds, Karl received a reply.

[Ari:] That's ok. The system doesn't really help you after the starting tutorial. I am contacting you because you are one of the new gods that have joined recently. I am a pretty old god and have done a good job surviving thus far. I'm inviting you to my club, which helps new gods.

[Karl:] You're not wrong about that. I am interested, but how do I know you aren't lying? And even then, what do I gain from joining your club?

[Ari:] You won't know that I'm lying, so you'll just have to trust me on this one. There are a lot of things to gain from joining my club. You'll have allies that will help you out in wars with other gods, we can help you if you're running low on points, if you're ever confused, we'll help you out in the club chat. What about this, you can ask me one question, and I'll give you some info about it.

Karl considered whether he should join the club. It seemed like it would be a good choice if he joined, and he did want to know about some stuff. He considered what question he should ask, before making up his mind.

[Karl:] Hmm, what is this war with other gods?

In the end, Karl chose to join, as it would benefit him now and in the future.

[Karl:] I'll join, but I have one more question. Can I leave whenever I want?

[Ari:] Yes, of course. You can leave whenever you want. I'll invite you now.

[Ari has invited you to the club, [New Gods and Gods Community].]
