I was quite lucky, to be honest. I thought it would take at least a month before I won Alicia's trust, before asking her to summon a God for me. After that, winning Alepsia's trust would take a few more months.
While the process would have been a bit more complicated with the growth being smoother than this, I don't really mind this, to be honest.
"I have been honored by Goddess Alepsia to teach you the basics of arrays," another fanatic appeared in front of me, much more excited than I was. His eyes were practically gleaming as he looked at me.
Accordingly, Alepsia appeared in the dream of the Pope and guided him to provide me with the best array holders. The entire place was in chaos because it's rare for Alepsia to give her orders directly like that…
Normally they have to wait for at least 6 months until another teaching comes… but this time it was a direct order. Hence, they were worried that something serious was going on, and hence they took it equally seriously.
"All right… I will be in your care for now," I sighed as I looked at the girl in the white reading a book not far from me. If only they knew that their God was right beside them…
The man taught me about the basics of the array. It took about 8 hours before he finished teaching me the basics and I was supposed to revise and practice them over and over for the next 4 hours before I would be free.
12 hours of painful hard work did make me go a tad bit crazy, but I calmed myself before looking forward to the result. It's not like I hadn't learnt anything…
After 12 hours, I asked Alepsia to take me to the orcs' dungeons, where I began my hunt to kill every orc. I asked Alepsia to make sure I don't die. Everything else will be on me.
Took about another 8 hours to kill them before I went back to practice.
Sleep? With my levels increasing at a rapid speed, I didn't need sleep. My body felt rejuvenated the more I hunted.
'Level 100 shouldn't be impossible by the end of this month,' I smiled maniacally as I kept learning and hunting for days…
30 Days later…
"This is all you can learn about arrays from me. Though I never thought you would be this fast…. It was an honor to teach you Mr. Adam," that guy bowed before he left the room where I was staying.

"Your growth was quite monstrous… are you going to deal with Amir based on just your absurd skills and powers?" Alepsia asked, as she was still shocked to see my abnormal growth.
It's a pity that I will restart from a lower level, but it's still fine since I have a way now… more than ever, I even know about 70% of the Ancient Language, Opeil. The language of the True Gods.
While I got about a dozen skills from the upgrades, the once that I was most happy with were…

"Well, it would be foolish to fight a God without using divinity. He would simply regenerate, even if I kill him. Just what exactly would I even be fighting with him? There is nothing to bargain that way" I asked as I observed her face, to which she nodded in agreement.
In the one month that I was here, I have grown quite close to Alepsia. Despite our differences, she never treated me badly and would always take care of me. Even when my life was not in danger, she was there to take care of me…
"Then how are you going to save them?" she asked in confusion. Perhaps she has come to believe me. She didn't doubt that I would save the others… even though she couldn't understand how I was going to do it. She still helped me out, nonetheless.
"Well. I have to destroy that array before it takes effect," I answered her fully knowing that she won't remember anything even if I were to tell her everything.
"??" Confused, she looked at me and I smiled as I spoke,
"I will be going back in time now. Thank you for everything Alepsia, I will fulfill my promise. Don't worry."
Speaking of that, I began going through the system but…
"My True Name is Alepsia Enera Di Uvion. Call me by that name and no matter what the situation is, I will come to help you… but remember… you can only use it once… so be careful how you use it…" she spoke as she looked at me.
"Going back in time was one of the possibilities I came up with when you talked about how you are going to save everyone… including those who passed away. It's impossible even for Gods like me to do it… but then a God like me can't see through you, so maybe…? I just betted on that possibility," she smiled as she explained her reasoning to me.
I nodded at her as I bowed,"thank you."
Before I pressed the [Load] button…
Let's save that impossible-to-save town once and for all.
[Restarting from the last Save Point!]
[Loading complete!]
And once again the ceiling came in front of my eyes as I looked at the room covered in darkness… but this time… things will be different.
Everything will be different.
