The hall yet again usurped with murmur and chatter of Gods and mortals alike. Just shut the hell up! Let the old man at least complete what he is saying. Why no one is talking to me. Does my opinion even matter to someone? As a matter of fact I had already completed my homework in the first week of holidays. It was an extra-strenuous week and there were several points where I wanted to give and sometimes end up procrastinating, but you can survive against all odds with will power and determination. Well, I did get to enjoy rest of my days with no worries. I did not have the power to fix a broken heart the last time. But this time I could stop one from happening. Most of the students were first startled and took a defensive stance to see an alien being but after a short while, seeing no signs of hostility they ran towards him in hope of getting their illogical questions answered.

I cannot ask you to forgive me since I promised Kazuki that I wouldn’t let anything happen to our family. And that’s why I decided to leave this world and get as far away as I could.” Your powers will grow too great that they will break the balance of the world and you will be used just like HER.” The goddess again mentions her acquaintance. With me as the only surviving member, no god wanted to bother with a low-level god child. With no guidance my divine powers were not that great and grew up to be the most infamous ‘non-combatant weak god.’ Often the other elder goddesses tried to make fun of me and used to make me run errands. I was just too weak to stand against them or refuse their most trivial demands. I had to bear it all, after all no one would dare to go against the wishes of a god from the upper echelons. One and a half month passed in a jiffy and it was a complete victory for the two of us. All the conditions of the oath were met and Elly, my spider roommate kept its end of the deal till the very end as per the agreement. Elly proved to be a valid promissory.I open my eyes as well, and I was now walking through the memory lane of the human girl. The path was simple and straight, depicting all her memories were fresh and recent. I won’t let you win.” Alicia said responding to her instincts on seeing the raging purple blaze around the goddess. While the spider gets a place to live and insects to feed upon. I would be saved from loneliness… not like I was exactly aiming or only hoping for it to get rid of all the mosquitoes that disturbed me in my beauty sleep.

All my classmates and even the Gods were giving me all weird looks and their gossips about me took a humongous jump. What are you talking about; I am going to do that. You will be my side companion and tend to my horses and carry the luggage.’ By this time my presence on the ground had attracted attention too. Humans, Gods or Goddesses they all were just too chatty but no one was observant enough that this VERY MOMENT THE FUTURE OF A GODDESS AND A HUMAN RELIED ON A SLIM THREAD OF CHANCE AND GLIMMER OF HOPE THAT CAN BE SNAPPED INTO TWO AT ANY TIME AND LOST IN THE SHADOWS OF FOREVER. I took a peek at the face of the angel out of sheer curiosity. And I could tell through the sinister aura radiating from his body even though he was wearing a poker face, but inside he was laughing and howling at his full voice,’ be amazed you pathetic lowly mortal humans. Imprint this in your weak mortal memory because you may not find a treasure of this grandeur again.’ The golden chains started raining from every direction. I was confident I could have used my wind magic to maneuver and dodge them all. But it only hit me a little later that my magic did not work here as it should. Most probably it was because the rules of this world were a little different.As I have said before this world has magic unlike your previous ones and people still live by the rule under their king and queen with knights protecting the honour of their country. THE DIVINE SYSTEM WILL ALL PROVIDE YOU WITH A UNIQUE SKILL THAT WILL BE IN CONJUNCTION TO THE TYPE OF DIVINITY OF THE GOD YOU SIGN YOUR CONTRACT WITH. YOUR DEVELOPMENT IN MAGIC AND STRENGTH WILL BE BASED ON A SKILL - LEVEL SYSTEM CREATED AND MONITORED BY THE DIVINE SYSTEM ITSELF. When more than half of you reach the age of 18 and above you can freely complete your mission without any intervention.” Surely when I counted the number of advantages, it seemed somehow that the blood-curdling insect that people thought of it as; was not actually entirely true. And just like any other animal, it too had a heart beat. Even though I was standing there, the way they casually talked about me made me angrier and sad at the same time. Am I really this pathetic! But this was something not new for me. Not wanted by anyone. Left all alone again and again.

All that energy converges into a pillar of light and its light ring withdraws. The body of the goddess vanishes along with the seal in front of everyone’s eyes. And in the time I have lived here, I have only come to yearn for more of it even though I fail to comprehend why emotions can be so painful?” The woman’s voice was overwhelmed. So, you know that too....Very well. Do what you must.” Utterly calm and assured, Kaya declared that she had no issue with facing me no matter what I did. She was a true warrior goddess to her core. The serrated white mountains loomed in the distance under the clear blue sky. The legs of the mountains were very wide. The peaks of the mountains were like harpoon tips shrouded in ghost-grey mist. Just as we approached, a chute of snow detached itself and went trundling down on its other side. It slid over the knotted edge and then went crashing into the chasm below. The silence that followed was spine chilling. It froze our marrow to think why we had been brought to such a dangerous place. The angel was startled too by this unexpected avalanche but reassured us that there was nothing to fear with his smile and we continued to follow him. I concluded that the heat had displaced the snow from the tip of the time chiseled mountain. It sure was summer even in the divine realm.Though not too loud for me to hear. And I did not wanted my new friend to be creeped out by trying to put my ears close to its heart. For the whole summer vacation I had taken the solemn and silent oath to not to leave my room or step outside the house. I had already collected a bundle of fantasy novels to read and bunch of adventure quest games to play with; which I had bought at a very low price from a second-hand shop. The moment she got close and brandished her two swords, the Goddess saw something on Alicia's face ⸻a smile so faint and fleeting that hardly anybody could have perceived it. For an instant, Kaya's lips curled. Finally, I decided to find the truth myself and get to the bottom of it. Even if the Divine System was behind it. I was also putting my existence in danger by harming the one the Tree of Life chose.

These swords are mine and I won’t give them up.” I rushed to the goddess with acceleration surprising her. The septic smell of death hung over the battlefield. It was a battle of head-clasping horror. The acrid taste of blood rose up and overwhelmed my nose and I was about to puke. The Almighty World God made up a mischievous smile as if he was about to reveal a hidden devious plot. “I am very pleased to hear your answer and respect your decision and resolve to live again and experience the hardships of the new world. So let’s talk more about this world and how this reincarnation system will work.” He then took a deep breath and continued with his explanation. The seal inside the dungeon starts to shatter and break into fragments. The formation of the dungeon supported by it after losing its energy source starts to collapse as well.Both of us strived for a life of isolation and somehow appreciated a life devoid of other people’s thoughts and reaction. We were comrades, accomplice and partners who shared same thoughts and aspire for same dreams. But this was all the time Kaya needed to complete her magic formation, that when Alicia noticed, it was already too late. A prismatic encompassment surrounded Goddess Kaya. Alicia knew she was left with no choice as dodging it would mean the force would hit Regis, Hana, and the others.
