2 The God Path (2/2)

As soon as I decided to select 'yes', it got selected. I realized from that that I was dealing with a technology better than touchscreen. Either that, or I was hallucinating.

With that appeared a very game-like stats menu that made me look at it with dead eyes for a whole two minutes.

[Name: Vilome]

[Race: God]

[Age: Irrelevant]

[Specialization: Dark Arts]

[Realm: Base]

[Progress Towards Next Realm: None]

[Quests Completed: None]

[Authorities Acquired: None]

[Weapons Mastered: None]

Seeing that, I had no idea what I should be more intrigued by. First of all, despite being like a fantasy world, this world didn't have magic. It had various arts however. As an obvious example, Sword Arts - the thing that my father dreamed of and my brother did specialize in.

There was also Language Arts, which my mother did and my elder sister was well on her way of specializing in.

There were many others like Projectile Arts (mostly archery but not completely), Spear Arts, Healing Arts (basically doctory), etc etc. However, I had never heard of anything like Dark Arts. Not gonna lie, I loved the name but I had no idea what it meant.

Then there was the fact that the system called my age 'irrelevant'. Quite a peculiar thing, if I do say so myself.

Then there were 'Realms', 'Quests', 'Authorities' and 'Weapons'. All of these were terms I knew the meaning of on a general basis but had no idea what they really meant there.

As I was busy contemplating about it, the system asked me,

[Which path would you like to take?]

It gave me three options, shown in three different rows.

[Necromancer Path]

[The easiest and shortest path to mastery of Dark Arts. It will yield immediate results as a God would be lowering himself to becoming a necromaner but it will result in you becoming one of the strongest among the mortals of the world very soon]

I was not very eager to take that path. So, I continued to the next one.

[Grim Reaper Path]

[Harder than Necromaner Path. You will become able to yield your immortal abilities but also will take days in acquiring the amount of power you could acquire within seconds in the Necromancer Path. At the end of this path, you could become one of the strongest among the immortals of the universe]

That was somewhat impressive. There was no way I was going for the Necromancer Path after reading the description for the Grim Reaper Path. However, the third one was the real deal.

[The God Path]

[Hardest and Longest Path. It will take you years to learn something you can learn in a day in Necromaner path and in a month in Grim Reaper Path. It allows you to acquire the full extent of your powers. At the end of this path (which is unlikely to be reached before spending at least two centuries on it), you might become the strongest being in the universe]

I wasn't blind, or dumb. I could see how The God Path was an unideal choice. I mean, did I make all those plans of taking over everything just so I could follow a goddamned system for 2 centuries and then aquire the level of power I desired? No, I wanted the power as soon as possible. I wanted retribution for all my pain as soon as possible.

I was not going to wait. Therefore, choosing the third path was not the way to go.

However, an idea came to mind. An idea that made me smirk. An idea that would make you smirk. And idea that made me choose The God Path.
