123 – With the Gods
From noble mtl dot com
‘Hmm, what should I name it?’
Before Eve watched the broadcast, he pondered what kind of ‘modifier’ he should build.
Modifier.
The name and nickname of a deity.
How it is called is also very important to the godhead.
It is natural for players to care about the name of the godhead they will sign a contract with.
I heard that if you use a strange adjective or an easy-going adjective, you may be ignored by the player.
Even if that’s not the case, it depends on how you are called, so you have no choice but to be concerned.
‘But I don’t have any adjectives.’
I’ve heard that in the case of fairly famous deities, a modifier is automatically created by identifying the characteristics in the system.
Even if it’s not that, any fairly famous god has that characteristic.
If it is related to fire, the word ‘flame’ appears, or if it is related to the underworld, words such as ‘underground’ or ‘earth’ are used.
In some cases, you can tell what kind of god it is just by hearing the modifier.
As for whether it’s good or bad, it’s a bit ambiguous.
Because being caught beforehand doesn’t always have an advantage for a godhead.
However, having a modifier attached means that it is a name.
Do not the gods of Olympus or Asgard tremble just by hearing their name?
Players have no choice but to praise such gods.
‘The problem is that I’m a rare and unknown god.’
A divinity that has no characteristics or story, so you have to come up with a name yourself.
Few players would want to sign a contract with such a god.
Well, I don’t know if it’s a weak player who really doesn’t pay attention to any gods.
Eve didn’t even want to sign a contract with someone like that.
No, to be honest, I have no intention of signing a contract with anyone.
There are quite a few coins because I don’t fight useless and just live quietly.
I didn’t even know if I would use this or not.
I have nothing to do, so I just look around.
Due to his personality, wouldn’t he get bored quickly?
“Well, something bothered me. Let’s just make it rough.”
In the first place, I would have just watched alone.
Who will say that the name is a bit sloppy?
However, even if it is rough, since it is a modifier attached to a god, it seems to be rejected by the system inversely if it is written strangely.
Especially if it could be confused with another deity, it was rejected unconditionally.
A name that looks pretty plausible, but doesn’t overlap with other named deities.
It’s a bit tricky to build.
In addition, he even briefly wrote the reason why he made such a modifier next to it.
Eve was able to succeed only after the name she had painstakingly built failed several times.
“Whew! I just finished it.”
[IB’s modifier is ‘a dream-like night dream’.]
It sounds like a grandiose name, but it doesn’t mean much.
It just means that the world you live in is as peaceful as a dream.
A player who sees his modifier for the first time will probably ponder who it is.
Of course, you won’t be able to find it anyway.
Because he is a no-named god unknown to anyone.
“Anyway, if I do this, I can watch the players’ broadcasts, right?”
Eve went into system broadcasting with little expectations.
In fact, it is still very late that the godhead can send system messages or donate coins.
Until then, will she watch the broadcast without getting tired of herself?
Eve couldn’t even be sure of that.
****
Pippi!
Come on!
I, Eunbyul, and Eve set off on the road, receiving strong greetings from the rabbits.
The inventory was full of presents including carrots and sweet potatoes that the rabbits brought.
“I don’t need to give you this much.”
“It’s a gift from our kids. Please don’t mind and accept it. After all, there are overflowing things.”
“I’ve been curious about this for a long time, do all the spirits here live by farming?”
“Not everyone is like that. Kids like squirrels just live by eating fruits that are open in nature. Rabbits are pretty industrious.”
The crops grown by the rabbits are large and taste great.
Perhaps the nutrition is so full that it is hard to compare it to the vegetables of the earth.
It is understandable that it is so peaceful when it is fully open to the bushes.
Most animals are full, and fighting doesn’t happen easily even if you protect their territory.
As a result of our discussions, we decided to stay away from rabbits for now.
Whether fighting or siege.
It was decided that the rabbits should not get involved.
There was also a realistic reason that if the rabbits were swept away while fighting, the enemy would approach the clearing condition.
“Isn’t it impossible to teach rabbits to fight?”
“Hmm, I think it will be difficult. These are kids who have never had a fight in their life. If I tell the players to attack, I don’t think they’ll get in the way.”
Eve shook her head from side to side.
“Besides, I am also the god of this place. I don’t want to send children who are about to die to dangerous battlefields. Well, other deities say they use their followers for quests.”
At those words, Eunbyeol tilted her head slightly.
“I thought I was free from systems and quests when I reached the level of godhood. Doesn’t that seem like it too?”
“As I said before, even if I’m a god, I’m only slightly stronger than you guys. Even the high-ranking godheads continue to do quests. It’s just that the time is long and there is plenty of time, so it seems like there is nothing to do.”
He sponsored us and signed a contract with us, so I thought he was a bit more transcendent.
In the end, is it just the same as a player with a bit more power?
‘Well, this is also a novel after all. Rather than a god in a myth that actually exists, it should be seen as just a ‘character’ inspired by it.’
Perhaps they act with their own purpose.
In the long run, signing a contract with a player is one of those things.
“Then what about sponsoring the players? Is there a reason for that too?”
“Umm~ In a way, it’s also for making your name known to talented players, but personally, I think it’s more like entertainment.”
“Play?”
“Nothing is so great. You just give coins to people who are in a worse situation than you, and you feel the eyes that look up to you. Or you can cheer them on out of pure fan spirit.”
The more I listen to the story, the more I think that even if it’s a god, it’s not that different from a human.
No, it’s not really that different.
Because even human beings make money while watching their favorite TV shows.
It is said that there are people who do hundreds or thousands of them.
“This is a bit of a strange story. Until now, we thought that a godhead was really a god.”
At that, Eve smiled bitterly.
“Aside from me, there is also a real God-like deity that you are talking about. I’m a bit on the weak side, so the image of God might be a bit pale.”
“Looking at what you are talking about, it seems that other deities are also aware of it?”
“Well, I don’t know. There were also deities that I kept in touch with.”
“Can’t we ask them for help?”
“It must be difficult. As you know, even if you are a god, you are subject to a lot of restrictions by the system. Even more so, to break through regular quests and directly intervene requires tremendous probability.”
Eve said that it would be difficult to use that level of authority, even if you are the main deity that represents the myth.
Even the evil god was only possible by way of going through Mina.
There was almost no direct intervention.
Of course, it also means that any indirect method is possible.
‘Does this mean that they are about to intervene in the Divinity Quest?’
The deity you signed right now has an impact on players, no matter how big or small.
It would be nice if they became allies like this time, but it would be hard to just wish for that.
Perhaps in the future we should really consider fighting the gods.
Anyway, we walked through the woods while talking about this and that.
There was no hesitation in the steps of Eve, who took the lead and took the lead, probably because she was the deity who ruled this place.
“Phew, we can go this way now.”
But maybe it’s because he’s still young, his steps aren’t very fast.
As she walked, sweat formed on her neck before she knew it.
It’s only natural that if you’re a Godhead, you’re not used to such a harsh situation.
“…We walked quite a bit, so let’s rest here.”
“Yes? I-it’s okay if you’re thinking of me?!”
“We are going to fight from now on. You never know when and where an attack will come, so it’s important to conserve your stamina.”
“Umm, if you say so… ….”
As expected, Eve doesn’t seem to be used to fighting.
Could she be more impatient than that?
Well, even while she is doing this, the animals living in her world will be dying, so she understands.
That being said, being unable to demonstrate your strength in an important battle by overdoing it is the worst of all bad things.
Even though he is a god, he is not omnipotent.
This is something I, as an adult, have to take care of.
I thought so, but for some reason Eunbyeol was looking at me.
While smirking like a goblin, disregarding her profession as a saint.
“……Why do you look at me like that?”
“Hmm~? Me? Isn’t it?”
There is a hint of teasing in the way he speaks.
This is why older women are difficult.
We ate the tomatoes the rabbit gave us along with the water.
The cool tomato juice exploded in my mouth.
“Anyway, the fact that I am being pursued by other players is a bit unfortunate.”
“I can’t help it like that. As a result, it was thanks to him that I met Eve.”
In the words of Eve, it is highly likely that the divinity of ‘Apollon’ will target us directly.
It’s an understandable choice if you’ve gotten enough clues about the quest with your prophecy ability.
Perhaps even if I was in a similar situation, I would have discarded everything and started aiming for Eve.
“I don’t know how much he will build a team, but he’ll be pretty annoying if you aim intently.”
“Shall we explore the person’s location now?”
“Can you do that?”
Eve nodded.
“Even if you look like this, you are a god. I can identify the position of an outsider who contracted with a deity I know, in the place where I rule.”
“Wow, that is amazing.”
Eve puffed out her chest as if the praise was pleasing.
“Nothing special. Any other deity can do that much.”
“That’s right. If you are a god, you should do that.”
Eve slapped me on the arm.
He himself said so, but when others say it, he seems to be offended.
“Hmm! Hmm! Then, I will begin.”
Eve closed her eyes and focused her mind for a moment.
I could feel the light energy flowing from her body.
It soon turned into small water droplets and then scattered all over the place.
Is this Eve’s ‘power’?
“Explore the space around you. The subject of the search is the subject of the contract with ‘Apollon’.”
A quiet yet clear voice.
Instantly, the words came out of his mouth.
“About 50 m from the location of the target…?”
Eve’s eyes widened as she spoke.
Then there was an attack.

-Kaang!
Something bounced off the baseball bat I swung almost reflexively.
Looking closely, it was an arrow containing fire.
‘What power…!’
I only blocked one shot, but it was by no means a weak attack.
Then a blonde man I had never seen in the forest walked out holding a bow.
“I wanted to finish this all at once, but the timing seems bad.”
I realized it while watching the natural steps.
He’s probably the player who contracted with Apollo.
And he was the enemy I had to deal with this time.
