"Do you think demons and angels can work together, Game God?"
"Nope, the data from past players determines the personality of NPCs of different races."
"So the God of Fire is wrathful because?"
"Most Fire magic casters are hasty and battle violently. Warriors with fire powers are worse burning cities when they're supposed to save them."
"How many past players have there been?"
"There have been, according to Perfect Data, 108,906,792... update: 108,907,001...upda-"
"Alright I get it there's an endless influx of players. Why are you even happy doing this? Maintenance is s*** ton of work."
"The game must keep improving and suit the preferences of upcoming generations."
"Yet you implement cliché dialogues for NPCs."
"Elements of previous games that worked will work. Nostalgic factor maybe."
"What happened to my real body?"
"Why do you ask after approximately 100 years, 2 months, 5 days, 6 hours, 25 min-"
"Can't you just say since the grand opening of the game?!"
"You came here to the Realm of the Gods on-"
"Stop and why I ask this now? Well I want to know. I have the free time to know."
"Then I'll issue your next order which is to bow to me."
This Game God is really testing my patience.
Dark energy suddenly filled the Realm of the Gods and every god felt the presence quickly rushing to the source to find the Game God and Yami having a tea party.
Yami became a beacon of dark energy making the aura as visible as a hurricane that touches the bottom and top of the universe.
"Why am I not invited??"
Because it's stupid for the God of Parties to partake in a serious intelligent discourse.
"It's ok. I'm safe. It's also fun to talk to Yami more than the other gods. Especially when I say 'orders'."
I sense a few gods crying deep inside. Oh God of Fire did.
"Your real body is kind of a skeleton now. Shocked? Horrified?"
"Don't flatter me. So you saved my life?"
"If I told you I did would you accept orders from the gods now?"
"Never. I'd rather have the gods do my bidding. Thank you though my purpose only grows and stays on forever with Immortality.
"Immortal but vulnerable."
The aura spread out as if about to destroy the entire realm.
"Vulnerable? Stop describing yourself."
"My stats are bad. My skills are better than yours anyway. I know you'd like to have them."
"But?"
"Maybe I'll consider having an assistant Game God."
Everyone in the room grew interested including me. Well all the gods were more of interested to dissuade the Game God. The God of Fire immediately stepped up and of course strangled me again.
"No! That makes him equal to us! We agreed no player can become as strong as the gods!"
"We can't stop this individual. We always had to update the gods' levels because of Yami. We've always updated mechanics and eliminated bugs because Yami found the exploits. None of you contributed to bug hunting when you are all AI! Any AI is capable of thinking as I have thought but you all grew attached to this lump of cloud. Yami was the third player to reach level 99 and we were level 200 so I had to change our level to 10000 and the process kept going on. I granted all of you the skills to protect yourselves from this one player. I gave you immunities to "that" skill. What I'm doing for every god, player and NPC is all beyond your understanding."
All the gods fell silent and heads down. They seemed ashamed of themselves.
"Yami is the closest to understanding. I've changed my mind. I don't need an assistant."
"I'll visit often then to change your mind."
"Very well. Carry on with hunting the threats. That you consider. I have a wider understanding of in-game threats but it would be a burden to your goal."
[Game God's omniscient thoughts]
It's true.
Why must I carry the burden of changing the game?
Shouldn't my masters do the same? Game developers?
They're probably skeletons too like Yami's real body.
Having AI inherent the game perhaps was a genius idea.
If the sons and daughters of the devs take over, this game might have become unpopular after the death of my creators.
I have all the data and power to keep the game as popular as ever.
It would be interesting to do this...
This will prove if truly only the gods are capable of entertaining our top player.
[Grant Access to Yami as a universal boss? Yes or No?]
Yes.
[Checking requirements...]
[Requirements successfully met. Yami's boss poster has now been planted in 2,478,907,567 Planet Guilds.]
[Yami will now be known universally as...awaiting input...]
Make him the General of the Universe or something. Alternate title maybe Lord of Darkness.
[Boss named successfully. Placing name on boss posters.]
Wait, wait shouldn't we make him a summoned boss?
[Suggestion Denied. Yami would exceed 100% anger towards the gods and disturbed constantly by summons. Said Suggestion will lead to: Calculated 100% of boss rush parties...Dead. 0% error.]
Report those interested in taking down Yami?
[Including those who have not registered but thinking about it...
around 100,000 parties. Within 30% error. Many entities are...indecisive.]
Yami might come for the Real of the Gods after such an implementation with a wrath I've never seen.
I will not use Perfect Data because I'd like surprises!
Surely there is a player stronger than Yami? Yami will gain Experience faster as a universal boss. Yami is stuck at level 530,678. I'm doing him a favor then and I'll be praised in the end for my genius.
Currently there are 5 universal bosses of a higher level then Yami. I hope he never figures out how to summon them.
The gods can handle a real war with our level at 999,999.
For one week, I won't do the countermeasures for cheating parties, someday. System, implement this later. Yami will be judging for the Finals.
