"What is this?!" I asked
"THAT IS YOUR BOW" Carr said
"I know that. But why is it so ugly and useless" I asked
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad for the weapon and all. But this twig looks like it was about to snap in half.
"ALL WEAPONS AND ABILITIES WILL LEVEL UP WHEN YOU GAIN NEW FOLLOWERS" she said
"Does this mean that I have a new follower?" I asked as I summoned the stats screen.

FOLLOWERS: 5

"I have a new follower! But how am I still on level 0?" I asked
"TO MOVE UP TO LEVEL 1, YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 20 FOLLOWERS" she said
"Twent- WHAT?! How am I going to do that?!" I yelled "Is everyone like this?"
"NO. THE OTHER GODS HAVE A MINIMUM OF 5 FOLLOWERS TO GET TO LEVEL 1"
"What? Why am I the only one?"
"EACH GOD SHARE THEIR ABILITIES WITH MULTIPLE OTHERS. NOT TO MENTION,THEY HAVE ANGELS WHO HELP THEM AS WELL. "
I sighed and looked down at the bow. It didn't look all that bad if you tilt your head a bit. Okay! If this is what I'm working with then I'll have to make it work.
I walked back to my house and announced that I was going back to the god realm.
I step out of the portal and summon my bow. I imagine an arrow in my bow, ready to launch. The bow is made of the same type of wood from the bow. It is so thin but very heavy with a silver tip at the end. When I release the arrow, it flies a few feet forward but suddenly drops down. I try again but it won't go any further. I'm not sure if I need a skill to make it go further or if it's the fact that I have never held nor shot a bow in my life but I think that this is the best it can do.
I sigh and try to think of a plan. Walking back and forth in the cave, I come up with three plans.
Plan A: Go into the portal and think of nothing. I should teleport at a random place on earth. From there, I can...do couples therapy? I'll think of a plan when I get there.
Plan B: Go back home and gain as many followers as I can there.
Plan C: Ask for help from the other gods.
There are many cons with these plans, sure. For example:
I don't exactly want my family to go through so much trouble for me. I also want to be able to gain followers without their help.
And plan C...I don't exactly think that I'll be able to get much help from those gods.
So! Plan A it is. I was hoping that all I need to do is listen to people's sob stories about their love life and give mediocre advice. I'm sure it's not going to be as simple as that but it's worth a try!
"YOU HAVE REGAINED THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME TO STAY IN OTHER DIMENSIONS. DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE NOW?" Carr asked
I placed one foot in the portal and yelled "Yep! I'm ready!"
I go through the portal and check out my surroundings.
WOOSH
An arrow flew past my head and skimmed my ear.
"Huh?"
I hear the clanging of swords hitting each other and the screams of battle cries. I look at the two fighting next to me.
SPLATTER
The man in blue slices his sword down his opponent's head and yanks it out. He instantly looks for a new opponent. He gazes around and finds my traumatized eyes.
WTF?!?
He started to walk over to me and my flight or fight instincts kicked in. I turned and ran. I didn't get very far since there was an all out war all around me.
As I was panicking and trying to figure out what to do, a large hand picked me up and dragged me to the sidelines.
I kicked and screamed but couldn't get out of the man's hold. He entered a tent and tied me up in rope that was lying around. Who randomly has rope lying around?!
He left me in the tent and went back into battle.
Oh man. What have I gotten myself into now?
