Chapter 2 - The God inside the game and the real me (1/2)

I came up with quite a few long sentences. If the IA is able to understand even a tenth part of it, then I’ll admit that this is the god of the games, but I really wonder if it will be able?

『Hear me out people who escaped from a narrow death, I’m the God of Fate. You have been able to escape from the pursuit of monsters by none other than my miracle. From now on, I will grant you all an oracle only once a day with the hope you can live healthy in accordance with my orders. First, cut down the trees and secure a place to live』

I talked like some bigshot, but I’m a God, so it should be fine. I believe I didn’t mistype anything.

Even though I ended writing the sentence seriously, it’s not like they will understand the content of the sentence,

While laughing sarcastically at my own naivety I pressed 『Enter』

『Everyone! There’s an oracle from the God of Fate in the bible』

The priest, Chem, who is clearly exaggerating is surprised.

Everyone looks at the bible at once. I wonder what kind of reaction you all will show me now?

『Umー I’m sorry. Neither Carol and I can’t read』

Laila raises her hand in shame while Carol stretches her arm cheerfully.

『I can recognize simple characters, but hard ones are impossible. Could you read for us, Chem?』

『But, brother you know how to… Okay. Then, I’ll read it』

If I were to guess from their conversation, the literacy rate of this world is not high.

From the way Gams talks, it seems like he really knows how to read, but as to not embarrass Laila and the others he pretended to be bad at it.

This Gams is an untalkative but attentive guy.

Even though he was only a target of my envy, his likeability rose a little.

Even so, the production of this game is very detailed. That’s why I feel that the tempo is a little off, but I don’t dislike human interactions.

After taking a deep breath, Chem speaks exactly what I typed.

Well, it’s not that difficult since she is reciting just what I wrote. The problem starts after that.

『So it was God who saved us!? He has even pointed us the way…』

『Thank you, God!』

Even the couple overwhelmed with emotion fell on their knees and began to pray to heaven.

Unaware of the situation, Carol just laughs. On the other side, Gams lowered his head to pray in silence without changing his expression.

「…You’re kidding」

They move and act as if they had completely understood the content of the writing.

「Hey hey, really? How can a character understand and opine by themselves? This is unbelievable. Isn’t this technology decades ahead?」

The latest PCs and smartphones have an AI capable of understanding words, however, they are only able to understand simple commands or words.

They simply don’t have the ability to understand complex and long sentences. It may be that this is one of the preprogrammed behavioral patterns.

『The God of Fate wants us to secure wood and a place to sleep. So everyone, let’s split and cut down some trees!』

…They speak as if they had completely understood the words I have written.

『There is a lot of wood since we are inside of a forest, but wood can’t be used as soon as you cut it down. To use it you have to process it, but it takes time to dry it after you cut it down』

So this time it was Lodis who expressed his opinion with his arms folded? …N? Drying time to process it?

Eh? Usually, in this kind of game, as soon you cut trees down, it will turn into wood and you can start the construction of the house. I really wonder to what extent this game pretends to be realistic…

『Do we have to really dry the wood?』

Good point, Chem. I was thinking the same.

『The tree contains a lot of water, so if you don’t dry it it will change its shape. That’s why, if you process it before drying it and you end up constructing something, the object in question will end with flaws』

『There was something like that? I was ignorant』

Chem and I, who was at the other side of the screen, nodded at the same time like we were synchronized.

It’s the first time I heard something like that. I tried to act like an omnipotent existence, but this blunder was a bit embarrassing.

『God’s thoughts are not something so simple that people like us could understand. There has to be a meaning behind God’s idea. Then, how about we start cutting some trees first? Even if we can not use them now, there’s no loss in securing it for later』

Thanks for the follow-up, Lodis.

After everyone agreed, they took out axes and saws they had in a wooden box that was loaded on the carriage. Being men, Lodis and Gams were in charge of cutting down trees.

The women faction was in charge of exploring and looking for things to eat.

It’s possible to zoom in and out using the mouse wheel button to check the place.

Moving away from the ground, the whole map appears black with the exception of the place where my characters are. And that I’m only able to see a zigzag line extending from the place which is deemed as a base to where my characters passed though has to be a feature and not a bug.

That narrow line should be the route by which the carriage passed when they were escaping.

「So, this is the type of map that extends as the characters move and explore the map? In this kind of setting, there is always a character in charge of scouting the surroundings, but I already used my oracle for this day」

Even if the character is clicked, it’s impossible to manipulate them and the only thing displayed is their settings.

I tried to speed up the time in the game, but I couldn’t find anything like that.

「Could it be that this game is a real-time game? Eh, after doing the oracle once a day I can’t do anything more!? Wait wait wait, that can’t be!」

Are you serious? It doesn’t make sense for such a game to be like this. Yes, it’s fun to see the personalities of the characters, but with just that you can not call this a game.

I started hitting all the keyboard keys with the hope that something would happen, but then letters appeared on the screen abruptly.

《There is one more thing you can do as the God of Fate. Use the Fate Points to exercise a number of miracles》

Suddenly an explanation came out. But what are Fate Points?

《What are Fate Points? You may be asking yourself that right now. Fate Points are linked to the fate of the villagersーIn simple words, the more gratitude they feel, the more points you will receive. Please look at the numbers on the top right of the screen》

As they told me, I move my eyes to the top right of the screen, there there was a bible like a picture together with some numbers written on it.
