God's perspective:
It was supposed to be a quiet and dreary atmosphere brimming with tension and seriousness.
A darkness that could scream that the situation was dead serious so stop joking around.
That is why I asked him to blow out the candles...
But, why the heck is this guy still jumping around like he found some new toys to play with?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Hey, hey, how is this happening?"
Hey, are you conscious?
Hey, could you send this again if I do this?
[...]
Are you a god?
[...]
Why are there now only three dots showing?
Are you low on power?
How can I charge it?
Is there any source of this projection?
Blah, blah, blah...
::::::::::::::::::::::::
[Stop swiping left and right, kid, and stop asking questions too.]
"Oh, so you can hear what I say and think, right? Even though you are only texts, I can feel your emotions, I would have already killed myself if I was in your place. That self preservation is amazing..."
[Feelings are mutual.]
"So, are you the god or just tex-"
[Neither a god nor some text but just a mere celestial. Although, in some senses you can regard me a god...]
A god...
Ah, my heart is thumping louder and louder with each second passing, oh no, I am dying, I am dying...
My life-long wish is finally about to be fulfilled.
"Why are you here, great one?"
I bowed down on one knee and bent my neck down to salute him like it was the most natural thing to do.
[Kid, I have a proposal for you.]
The green text alerts appeared again.
"What could I do for you, lord? Just command."
[Don't call me a lord. Call me GoG, the God of the games, I just want you to know that you are getting dragged into this Game...]
"What game, GoG wait, were those letter from you?"
'Wanna play a game?'
I received several of those letter in my last three days of that academy, after that I blocked any nameless letter but they could always be found inside my shoes.
[This game is a battle, no, a war to select an apostle among those people I have came to like. Illyum, no Lucien, you are one of them.]
"Wait... You know about my past life?"
[I know everything...]
Lucien, that was my name in my past life...
The life that I willingly left behind...
[Lucien, a hint for you, your research on immortality, review it down to every detail, it is beneficial to us both. From now onwards, I am impartial to every player.]
[The game format for this game is: Battle royale, kingdom building, apocalypse, and so on. The following are the rules:
1) There would be five players left alone on a prepared stage that would play the game until only 'one' of them survives.
2) The game will begin on the round table conference where the five will meet for the first time since the game begins.
3) Divinity is the currency of the game. Besides, there would be experience tab that denotes your permanent strength.
4) Every time you kill someone with a soul, a part of their soul would be converted into experience and be given to you and the rest could be traded for divinity or be used for personal uses.
5) The soul conversion would begin the moment GoG leaves, but the main game tab would only appear after the game begins.
6) The round table conference would be held after every week as a trade opportunity and 'motivation'.
7) The store, trade and other functions could only be unlocked free main game begins.
8) The souls of beings corresponds to their power and intelligence. However, bounties, other player kill, kill steal and clever play would result in divinity gifts by GoG.
9) If the game is interesting enough, it would garner the attention of other gods and which results in extra mission, divinities and gifts. Try it, it is a win win situation for all.
10) GoG is the ultimate judge.
All the best... ]
