7 The Creosian Empire (1/2)
Stepping through the door, I appeared in this giant cathedral like building that had tons of marble and decorations depicting Pyrra the sun goddess. On the ground where I was standing was a magic circle that had words and symbols that I couldn't understand. Around me was also a bunch of peoplewho were staring at me with excitement in their eyes and also hope for some reason. After a couple more seconds of looking around and gathering my belongings I walked up to the closes person and asked them where I was currently. The person tilted their head and started speaking in a weird dialect that sounded like the person was speaking backwards of regular words that had no meaning.
'Yo, system'
[What can I do for you]
'Ok, its skill creating time. First thing first, make me a skill to understand and read every language as English. Also make a skill so that anyone that hears me will hear it in a way that they understand and can get my point across. And also the same thing for writing too.'
[So make a 'God Tongue' like skill?]
'Yeah exactly like that.'
[Ok, skill made and added to skill list]
'Thaaaanks. Ok, now what are these people saying?'
Focusing back on reality and repaying attention back to the priest I started to actually understand what he was saying.
”Sir Hero, please don't be scared. The goddess has helped us summon you from another world to help us defeat the evil demons and demon lord who are trying to overtake the world. Please our Hero, help us!”
...
...
'Am I in a freaking Manga now?'
Giving a sigh I asked the priest who was talking earlier if he was the head priest. He said that sadly the head priest died about a month ago but they were able to find his diary that talked about gods, a ritual to summon someone from another world, and also something about the summoned person helping them. Hearing all of this I couldn't help but just face palm because of the gods lousy mistake.
Moving my head slightly so as my eyes were able to be seen, I said ”I guess you want to bring me to your king right? If so, lets just get a move on”
the priests looked at each other for a couple of seconds before nodding their heads and started walking down a long path that lead outside. Upon walking outside, I had to cover my eyes for a second but after my eyes adjusted I was able to see the glory that was the human kingdom. There was row upon row of human building and a fresh pale blue sky that screamed to me that it wasn't polluted. The air was the perfect temperature and it smelled fresh as if the world I was in previously was filled of pure methane. It was the perfect world and was amazing beyond belief.
Seeing that I wasn't moving, one priest came up to me and started pushing me in the direction of the castle. It wasn't that far from the Church but it took way longer then it probably should have because I was looking at every little thing on the way there. Upon actually getting to the castle there was tons of soldiers and fancy looking knights that were all on guard and looking directly at me as if I was the biggest enemy in the world. Pushing me forwards through the Entrance of the castle, two butlers came up to me and took me through a separate door they took away the gifts the gods gave me and threw them in a fire. The entire time they were doing this they were muttering something about trash from another world.
Thankfully before the items got damaged, I had my system make a infinite spacial storage and store the items as quickly as he could. Deciding to be a bit evil because of what they did to my stuff, I changed their luck stat to negative as payback and anytime they increased their luck, it would actually become worse. While I was changing their luck, they where changing my attire.
I was now wearing a fancy robe with tons of gold buttons on it that made me seem like a tin man more than a actual person. Finishing up the clothing, they attached a sword to my back and sent me back through the main hall. Upon getting back there, the guards immediately forced me to walk down through the main area and once I finally got to the king, force me to kneel and look down. Before I had anytime to say anything the King said something quickly about me being the salvation of humanity and then had a lot of people cheer at me.
This all happened within about 5 minutes and I had no time to speak at all. After that ”Ceremony” I was forced back into another room that had a simple bed, table, closet, and bathroom. To be more accurate would be to describe it as a prison cell.
The guards forced me in, then closed the door to leave me where I was just to wonder about the entire thing. Sitting on the bed I sighed as this definitely wasn't how I was planning for everything to go.
'Hey system...'
[Yeah man? You doing alright? I know you were excited for your world and all but weren't expecting this were you.]
'No... I was kinda hopeful that I would have some time to actually talk face to face with the head priest or king'
[You could break out of here you know, it would be as easy as not doing anything for you]
'Then that would make me a fugitive and that would make me feel bad'
[...]
[You're a literal god, get over it man. Break out of this cell and go talk to the king.]
'Yeah... YEAH! You know what, I am the true god, I shouldn't have to put up with this. Tonight at midnight I'm going to teleport the king here and make him listen to me!'
[Why at night]
'...'
'Cause... it would be rude if I did it while he was talking to people' I thought sheepishly
And even though the system couldn't do any physical movements, you could somehow see and hear it face palm.
Spending the next couple of hours making skills and improving the system, I at some point had a stroke of genius. To ensure that I don't have the good ol' cliche of people stealing my power/ using it without me knowing, I made a skill called [Personal Power] which makes it so that if anyone but me tries to use my powers in any shape or form, I will get a notice to either accept or decline it. This ensures that I can't be controlled in any way.
