"A god? A real god… I don't know what to say."
It is impossible even to think that this abnormal person could be a human, but God? It was still hard to believe.
"Well… God is not the name I gave myself you know. You humans call me that. Not to mention Isaac, this was also a name given to me by humans in one of the worlds."
Elizabeth has not forgotten the possibility of this world being an illusion made by curse magic. However, she began to doubt it, as this is too much even for an advanced curse affinity spell. The world is too realistic, too detailed for it to last so long. A person would not have enough mana for this type of spell.
"But… But…"
"But what?"
As fear and anger overwhelm her, she begins to cry. She is afraid of Isaac as in the holy religion, the only way of meeting God is to die. Or so does the church say? The fact that she met a god named Isaac might be the case.
"Am… Am I dead?"
"What?"
"Did I come to meet you to be sent to hell? Are you going to judge me?"
"I…"
Isaac is losing words, as he does not know why this girl is in this world. But one thing is for sure; she is alive. This planet is supposed to be in a mortal realm; Isaac did not know that he did not create a body for himself. He created an astral form, not an actual physical body. He did not know the difference as he had never been in a mortal world nor met an actual human.
"I don't… No, you are alive! You are alive! See?"
He comes closer to crying Elizabeth and takes her hand. He put Elizabeth's wet tears on his cheek and closed his eyes. Elizabeth stares at him with sad and confused eyes as she does not understand what Isaac is doing.
"Can you feel the warmth of my skin? Because I definitely can feel your warmth of yours. I can feel your tears. This warmth of your skin… your tears… proves that you are alive!"
"Really? Am I alive?"
"Yes. You are alive."
Isaac assures her, as this was the only thing he could do. 'She must be alive, right? She does have a body….'He kept telling himself to chase away all the doubt he felt.
"I am sorry…."
Suddenly an apology came out of Elizabeth's mouth as she wiped away her tears. She looks away from Isaac as she does not want to be seen. She fears that he will be disturbed by this sight.
"For what?"
"For… My little panic attack."
"No worries, I am just glad that you are feeling better."
A smile shows up on Elizabeth's face as she remembers all novels she used to read at home. About weak or even powerless people end up transferred to a different world. Even the thought of it made her shiver from excitement. She decided to ask,
"So… Mister god…."
"Huh? Mister GodGod? You know my name is Isaac. Call me by my name."
Isaac smiled, but his eye was a slight twitching from irritation. He felt a little irritated by the nickname she had just given him. Even he could not understand why. But the way
"What should I do next?
"What do you mean?"
"Where do I go now? Will you give me some sort of power-up? A treasure? And will I be transferred to some other world?"
With an eyebrow raised, he looks at her weirdly. 'Where… does she get all these weird ideas' he asks himself and looks at her with a frown.
"Are you making fun of me perhaps?"
"What? No mister god!"
"…"
"…"
An awkward silence came after Elizabeth's nickname called Isaac.
"You… Want power? I can do that I guess. If you want, I can give it to
you. Same is with treasure."
"Really?!?"
"Yes. If you want me to. It would not be the first time I gave someone a blessing. In fact, most of the people I gave magic to become emperors, kings, saints, and even sages. While the places I blessed, were turned into holy lands."
"You are serious right now? You actually can?!?"
Elizabeth looks at him with overwhelming excitement. Today is finally the day when all her prayers will be answered! She will be able to use magic from now on.
"Of course, I can."
Her smile warmed his heart for some reason. Even though he was almost omniscient, his emotional state was that of a newborn child at the moment, so he felt highly emphatic towards her.
"What's… Going on?"
Suddenly a bright light swallows Elizabeth, and she disappears from Isaac's sight. Shocked, he stares at the space where Elizabeth is standing.
"What… Just happened?"
Panicked, he closed his eyes and searched Zerthia for her whereabouts. Even though he was unsure if she was from that exact planet, he did know that she was speaking Zerthia's primary human language.
"Where is she? WHAT HAPPENED?!?
Suddenly Isaac screams, and the whole world begins to echo 'what happened' travelled through the world, shaking it. Nervous, he begins to walk in circles while looking for her. He focuses on her looks, so even though the number of people and search was smaller, it still took time as there were thousands of similar-looking girls in Zerthia.
"I am a fucking idiot. I should have asked for her name!"
Realising that the name would have helped him search for her made him even angrier as this was his fault. Because of all the bragging, he forgot to ask her what her name was. What irritated him even further, he was not even sure if she was in Zerthia's world. The only thing he did know was that she was not in the unknown.
"DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!"
After about an hour, he managed to find her. She was lying in the hospital bed, silently crying. 'What? What is going on?' Isaac was happy that she was safe, but he could not understand why her body was hospitalised; she had just left this planet. What happened to her?
"Why… is she crying?"
He said out loud as he darkened as he stared at Elizabeth. A strange feeling developed within him. The way he never felt before. As he looks at Elizabeth crying, he can not take his eyes off her. He does not even blink. He stares at her with an emotionless face. The veins on his body pop out of anger as he looks at her. The weather in the unknown begins to change. Thunderclouds form and the wind begins to form tornadoes.
"I do not understand what's going on. She should be happy, she is home isn't she?"
The girl in his vision is just staring blankly at the wall without even blinking. Tears slowly fall down her cheeks. But suddenly, Isaac hears a man's voice.
[Zerthia - Holy kingdom]
"Hello Elizabeth, my name is Jeremy Willson. How are you feeling?"
The doctor shows up carrying a shopping bag. He was wearing casual clothes as he was on his day off, but Jeremy rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard Elizabeth wake up. He was the same doctor that argued with her father. He walks towards her, picks up a chair, and sits nearby Elizabeth's bed.
"Elizabeth, are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, yes. Yes, I am fine."
The doctor looks at her with serious eyes as he notices she is feeling depressed. He mistakenly believes that she is sad because of a failed suicide attempt.
"You know Elizabeth, suicide is not an option."
"I know." She replies. "I was not trying to kill myself, to begin with, I overdosed, but it was not on purpose…."
Shocked at hearing this, Jeremy raises his eyebrows as he waits for an explanation. As she stayed quiet, he decided to ask.
"How did this happen? Can you tell me? Did someone did this to you?"
She shakes her head in denial. "It was an accident. I couldn't fall asleep. So I took more pills, and this happened"
"I see. Well, I am glad you're okay. Elizabeth, are you hungry?"
The doctor picks out some apples and oranges, a paper plate, and a paper plate. He uses wind magic and peels the fruits off. He slices them up using the same wind magic and puts them in the small cupboard near Elizabeth's bed.
"Listen… Elizabeth. What do you feel about your parents? Do you love them?"
"…"
The silence was the best answer for him. This girl neither felt love from her parents nor felt any love for them. 'I see…' The doctor nods and asks.
"Elizabeth. What if I told you, you could be adopted into a family that will take good care of you?"
