Sleep; the only thing worthwhile in this mundane life of mine. Other than that there is also a time when I actually finish something and gives me the sense of fulfilment I need to relax will I be finally able to sleep.
So there's two things that were worthwhile in my life. Not that I have an obsession with completing things, after all, all I want is to just tire myself out so I can have a good quality rest.
Which brings me to the next topic. Just this morning I had a dawning revelation and realised that if I took the time to relax through a hot bath, and eat unshackled by the fact that I may have a stomachache the day after, then maybe I could wear myself out faster.
It was a win-win for us all! "Looks like I'll have to go buy some food. Mom and dad have work so I'll just use the allowance I had saved up." I was determined this time to make sure I was able to keep myself on the bed rather than just falling off of it.
I stood up and hastily picked out some clothes. As I had not went out for a while many of my clothes were actually still very clean and new, since I only wore about four sets of clothes for every single four weeks repeatedly.
Of course I knew the importance of personal hygiene so I made sure to brush my teeth and wash my face in case I encountered a classmate.
I was surely not going outside with bad breath and oily skin. Not only was it rude, it was also quite disgusting.
And so without further ado; wearing my penguin head prints t-shirt and denim jeans, I ventured out into the wide open!
Opening it abruptly my eyes soon widened as I recalled that I had not been outdoors since vacation started.
I was suddenly struck down and I had to temporarily look away from the light to let my eyes adjust.
Rubbing them harshly, my eyes then became a little wet, honestly this could be said to be my fault for not going out much.
Curse my infallible procrastination! If it were not for my sleeping addiction I would have surely gone to a friend's house to play video games by now.
I heaved a deep sigh and marched onwards to the only place that sells ingredients and gives out recipe pamphlets for free; that is the local supermarket.
Of course I could go to a convenience store, but those were about 10 or 20 miles from here so it was best to stick to somewhere closer lest I give up and my energy reserves get so low I faint.
Besides it was near the bookstore that I occasionally frequented on my way to school, so I could go and see what was new there just for the sake of it.
Not only that it will also be a good way to waste my time while I'm at it. "Eh, I have literally nothing to do in the first place. What's so bad about going to a bookstore?"
The thought brought a smile on my face. Books were once a favourite pastime of mine, that was until...
I shook the thought away, I scolded myself, I knew that pondering over on a bad memory was something that would lead to disastrous results.
Besides I promised myself to be happy. A few minutes later I had already arrived at the store and had taken along a basket with me.
Thankfully my parents gave me a credit card and my personal bank account for my last birthday. Now as long as it did not exceed a 3000 dollars I would be totally fine.
My parents were stingy with money despite the fact that they earn, what over 500K to a million a year?
I was unsure. I made a mental note to myself to fact check it when I got back home. But for now it was time to shop.
For today's menu; rather than making instant ramen as I usually do, it was time for me to cook a delicacy I learned from an expert chef (internet).
For my lunch, melon bread and Greek yogurt from the bakery and dairy section respectively.
I was grateful to the person that made the two sections near one another, so it was easy to obtain my first items of the day.
Next was dinner; I basically had almost everything for my dinner, now it was just up to me to buy the chicken.
Either the drumsticks or breasts would do. Spices were necessary for what I was about to do and of course you could not forget about the sauce.
Since it was a spicy fried chicken I would also need some refreshments. "Hm, maybe I'll also have Sweet and Sour Pork for today. That'll go well with some soda."
My meal plan sounded so amazing that I had begun to drool a bit. "Mhm, now after this I'll buy an entire box of cinnamon sugar dusted and thick glazed donuts!"
....
Somewhere within the vast expanse of space resides a separate dimension. Secluded away from the mortal plane.
Amongst the buildings of that dimension is a tall marble white palace with gilded roofs and smooth black stone roads.
Inside the palace is a meeting hall for a certain group of individuals that were vehemently discussing on an important subject.
They needed more Apostles, not to mention a new person to take over the title as the Heavens Mandate.
"Lord Zeus. This is unacceptable, nymphs are fading and many minor deities have been sealed away into the Tome. If we do not act soon the current Heavens Mandate May try to usurp our authority." A voluptuous woman adorning a green peplos complained to her brother about her worried.
"Demeter is right. Our Egyptian counterparts have been figuring out a way to possess a human body without the Heavens Mandate noticing us, but it shall take a long time. We have no choice but to awaken 'him.'" A grey eyed woman stared at her father coldly, as if she was a teenager rebelling against her father's actions.
The 11 Olympians looked up expectantly to their king, waiting for him to make a wise decision on their behalf.
It was a terrifying moment for them all as they watched on in anticipation, to see what the opinion of the bearded and tempestuous God was.
"Very well. We shall choose a mortal to become our Apostle and send him a message, Iris I leave you in charge of that." His thunderous voice boomed across the empty palace, which allowed the rainbow goddess to easily hear his words.
He then pointed to his personal messenger, Hermes and asked of him a dangerous job, "Bring out the Tome Of Enigmas; the creation of Chaos, born from the depths of the abyss. Agnostos Theos last remnant."
The other Gods flinched once they had heard the name, the day Agnostos Theos was born was still fresh in their minds.
He had terrorised the other Pantheons and themselves through Phobos. The God of Fear had been possessed by him with the latter being forced to set up a temple for the God so he could gain followers.
It was a horrendous period in their entire immortal lives. But they were relieved when he was finally destroyed and forgotten forever.
But his relics and artifacts remain. They were eventually sent to Gilgamesh for safekeeping, but only one could not be given out that easily.
The Tome Of Enigmas contained the power of time and space, being able to summon real life heroes or in the wrong hands villains.
Thesis; primordial Goddess of creation and the primordial God of life recognised the ancient power contained within it.
That was when all the other primeval deities realised that Agnostos was one of them. Even Chaos admitted to it, and yet despite all the nonchalant attitude they had, they knew how dangerous the unknown god could be if he was left alive.
"My king, we have found the perfect person. The chosen one also has a thin strain of Divine bloodline within him. If fully refined and thickened well enough he could become one of us." Hermes floated above the hearth, much to Hestia's chagrin.
He had already found a suitable Apostle for the task and Hermes himself praised his great potential.
"Good! Now let's see what he can do?" The Sky Lord had a grim expression on his face, for this chosen mortal was their only hope.
....
"Nanana, it felt so wrong. It felt so right." I sang incoherently to a song that had just popped up in my head, although I could not remember the name and full lyrics I was absolutely sure that it was really popular.
I did hope that my neighbours wouldn't hear my terrible singing, only to remember that I did not have any since the two houses beside my house were actually still for sale.
Recalling this; I wondered where the past owners went? I never got the chance to see them much, I didn't know who but I knew that one of them had a kid around my age.
Honestly if I had the chance to I would have liked to got to know each other and become friends since it was a boring neighbourhood.
Of course I could just live at the boys dorm at my private school but I wanted to be free from school not be there 24/7.
Although my parents would let me I still had an attachment to this particular place and had the desire to stay here forever.
My wish may be childish but if I ever had the opportunity to, I would make this my domain.
A place I could control. It was unrealistic but with money I could probably do it. What if I became a landowner or something?
'What would would you do with it after becoming one?' An ethereal voice emerged, I was taken by surprise and glanced everywhere around the room.
An foreboding feeling tugging at my chest. It felt oppressive and dangerous, 'Haha, I'm not dangerous. I'm a Goddess.' Her haughty words somewhat convinced me, but it was not enough to persuade me completely.
"Yeah, you're the Goddess of my paranoia that's what you are. Or maybe schizophrenia? Who care I'm blabbering to myself anyways." I replied with a subtle diss to myself, which was something I was used to.
'Wow, l don't know whether you're dissing me or yourself but that is just sad.' There was a slight pause before she spoke once more, this time with a relaxed and amused tone.
"State your intentions lady. I don't have time to entertain any voices in my head right now, can't a man just eat his food?" I responded in kind bluntly, after all the donuts were next on the menu and I was not missing out on it.
'Very well, I came here to announce a decree. Clyde Amane; from now on you are found guilty of the destruction of our hopes.' My face paled, I had no idea what she meant by it, but it sounded bad due to the seriousness in her voice.
"Wait! I can't live in prison! I still haven't had a lover yet!" She let out a snort, I hoped she was going to say that it was a joke but what came next made me scared witless.
'Who said anything about prison? No, you'll get the death penalty.' I cursed inwardly and blamed myself for not being more productive and knowledgeable in these kinds of situation.
So I resorted to the only thing that I knew to settle such matters as escaping an early death. I dropped down unhesitatingly and kowtowed passionately.
"Please forgive me! I'll do anything you ask!" I shouted out loud for all to hear, which made me swallow my words later on.
"Oh, you will? Well then that makes my job much easier. Clyde Amane; you are now the official Apostle of the Gods and with your consent the contract can now be extended as long as we like. Well then I'll see you soon, Mr. Gullible."
My face turned red as I stood up with clenched fists. "That damned b*tch. I'm going to kill her!"
