After it saw the light-er, darkness, the mutt gained a new profound knowledge of using the sin of pride!
*Ding!*
"Proficiency in Pride risen to 45%"
"Proficiency in Sloth risen to 36%"
The mutt immediately wanted to incorporate it into its fire attacks. The flame it emitted had a pressure that invigorated it. Its flames were fierce yet stable. The mutt regained some confidence and started to stand taller and look prouder. The effects were apparent, but it's true prowess will probably show only in combat.
The mutt was still quite proud of itself for achieving enlightenment.
Author: A bit too proud, it's annoying....
The mutt: ....
"Whew~", the mutt breathed out.
"You done?", a voice came from behind its blind spot.
"!", the mutt turned around to see 68 to its relief. It was carless! It couldn't even sense the imp, even with three heads for lookouts. If it was an enemy they could have sneaked and attacked it! While it had a large dynamic view, it could not cover the full 360 circumference.
"You're already done with your job?", the mutt huffed in relief. It reminded itself to be on guard at all times.
"Yep, it was another bud. How did your training go?", imp totally unaware of the alarm he gave the mutt, asked innocently.
"I obtained quite a few benefits.", the mutt proceeded t o show off its flames infused with the sin of pride."
"Sigh, you already far surpass me.", the imp's ears drooped.
"Don't feel bad, I was already decently strong back in my realm", all smug, the mutt tried to comfort it. After all it was once a god!
Author: No you weren't. You barely qualified as one.
The mutt: Give me some face!
The bog and imp strolled along a path to walk to the building. The imp was quite chatty so it told the mutt some news going around hell.
"The demon monkey, Wu Kong, seemed to have teamed up with the nine tailed fox and took over a planet!"
"What I wouldn't do to see the mighty demon monkey in action! An I hear that the fox is not inferior to even other goddesses of beauty!", the imp naturally admired the evil demons who wreaked havoc in their realms even while being persecuted by gods.
"Of course Flora is the only one in my heart..."
"For some reason Cerberus has gone missing and as a stand-in and for some reason Hades can seem to revive him! His brother Orthrus, was resurrected instead and took its place in its stead. This sparked a great war between their offspring, the hellhounds. Some big shots even escaped and Hades sent Thanatos! There are bounties on them that Hades put out himself!"
(Perhaps our main character might have the chance to meet him...)
This seemed to spark quite a bit of feeling from the mutt for some reason. It didn't know if it was because of its new form, but it seems to run much deeper...
"Oh there was big news! In the Egyptian underworld, Anubis had thrown a rebellion and now the underworld is split in between them!"
"What!", when it heard its home was in turmoil it grew worried.
"Not only that, it seems their leading deity died!"
"What! The kind old man was gone!?", the mutt was shocked!!! It was its first time it heard any news of its home realms. He felt remorseful for not properly thanking the old man for healing him. Also what had become of it's mama Isis, and its big bro?!
The mutt:: :(
Author: You don't have to be too sad yet... hehe...
The Thoth system: .....
"The weird thing is that, while it was the perfect time to strike, some extremely powerful forces somehow emerged to drive away the intruders!"
The imp explained with reverence about some rumors it heard and the mutt was surprised that his big bro had finally taken over the reins and replaced Ra.
And a large snake appeared out of nowhere that surrounded the territory and claimed to be Set and it would kill anyone who encroached on its territory. It shivered at the thought of Set getting so powerful and made it remember some repressed memories when it was almost done in by just looking at his faith points. It was also angry to find out that it was probably Set who orchestrated some plot to gain such power.
This left a lot for the mutt to process and after 68's long rant of news, the imp and mutt arrived at the building and was greeted by Flora at the reception desk.
"Hey Flora!", the imp happily greeted her.
"68 and, oh I never did get your name?", Flora
"Uh... you can call me Little 3! Or just 3."
"Oh like the number of your heads! That's cute!"
Imp: .....
"What can I do for you?", Flora asked sweetly.
"I want a job.", the mutt being straight forward.
"I can recommend some to you or you can look around the billboard on the 2nd floor."
"Ok I'll check it out.", the mutt proceeded to climb up the stairs and a small crowd of demons were already browsing the billboard.
Its new form was quite not small but it was on four legs instead of two so it had to barge into the crowd, using his heads to push aside the demons.
When it was finally to the front it finally got a clear sign of the jobs offered.
"Join the legion and fight against God's army of angels!"
"100k sin points possible as a reward, depending on your merits!"
"Pass", the mutt had no interest in fighting for the benefit of a foreign realm.
"Bounty for Sisyphus, 1 million sin points!"
"Bounty for Tantalus, 1 million sin points!"
"Bounty for Tityus, 1 million sin points!"
"Bounty for Ixion, 1 million sin points!"
4 big wanted posters with 4 faces plastered on them were the most eye-catching.
"Wow, what big names, this is what 68 meant by the souls escaping in the greek realm.", these people were one of the most infamous sinners in the sphere of death. They offended the gods and in return the gods came up with all sorts of creative ways to torture them in the after life.
"This shouldn't be so hard they are just humans!", the overconfident mutt thought. It still fancied itself a powerful god, well powerful enough to deal with some ignorant humans.
Author: Oh really...
*Ding! Red flag has been put up!*
The unaware mutt,"Too bad there is nothing about my home realm, if I finish these goals perhaps I might be able to hitch a ride or even go to that realm..."
"Well its better than nothing, the greek realm is quite close to the Egyptian realm and have been in war with each other in the past..."
"Perhaps if there is recruitment for attacking the Egyptian realm, then i can go!", the mutt suddenly had a brilliant thought.
The current ruler of the Egyptian realms, Horus: Why do I feel like your way of thinking is wrong...
It thought there was no other option and it wasn't strong enough to travel to yet another new realm that is dangerous and unpredictable, when it had no source of faith and could only rely on the power of sin which it didn't have much of either. It decided to just gain as much as possible from this realm and get all the benefits it can and might as well gather some information along the way.
The sin system and power of sin is very intriguing after all. If only it could transfer sin points into faith points...
"It is possible.", the Thoth system replied.
"Really!?", the mutt started to get excited and hopeful.
"Calculating..."
"Done. Roughly 1000 sin points converted to the equivalent value of 1 faith point."
".....", the mutt promptly abandoned the idea of gaining the almighty American dollar-er, I mean, faith points...
The mutt continued to look at the bounties and the next one made it pop its eyes out.
The god of fire, forethought, and crafty counsel, Prometheus! A whopping 10 Billion sin points were offered for his capture! There was an actual bounty on a god!
The mutt had painstakingly learned arithmetic from professor Thoth and quickly calculated. That comes in a total of.... minus the 3 zeros... divide by 100... it's a million faith points!!!!!! The mutt started to daydream about the wealth of faith points, and drool with desire.
"Proficiency in greed gained!", the Thoth system notified it.
"..."
Professor Thoth: You nitwit! You calculated wrong! It's 10 million!
The mutt: Even better!!!! I'm rich!!!
Professor Thoth:You need more tutoring!!!!]
The mutt: You can't reach me, I'm in purgatory!
Professor Thoth: ....
Author: Only a creature such as you would rather stay in hell rather than study...
"Proficiency in sloth has risen."
Author: Wait, are you even qualified to claim such a prize?
"Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself...", the mutt calmed down.
Author: Finally know your place, eh?
The mutt had heard of the condemned Titan. He was a second generation god who was known as titans. The 3rd generations, the Olympians, and them had a huge war to decide who were the new head honchos. The 3rd generation gods won and many of the Titans where sealed or had their authorities stolen.
Prometheus was known as the Titan of forethought, and predicted the Olympians would win so he cleverly sided with them. Alas even though he was on the winning side he could not escape the same fate...
After it saw the light-er, darkness, the mutt gained a new profound knowledge of using the sin of pride!

And a large snake appeared out of nowhere that surrounded the territory and claimed to be Set, the chaos god and it would kill anyone who encroached on its territory. It shivered at the thought of Set getting so powerful and made it remember some repressed memories when it was almost done in by just looking at his faith points. It was also angry to find out that it was probably Set who orchestrated some plot to gain such power.
