Chapter 4 - Curiosity

A long time had passed since the Goddess unleashed Mana into the world. Life had flourished, civilizations had risen, and humans had become a dominant species. The Goddess, always watching, noticed something different today. Ishi, stood by her side, staring intently at Earth.

"You've been watching them a lot recently," the Goddess observed, noticing how his gaze lingered on the humans below.

"They're… interesting," Ishi replied, his voice carrying a mix of wonder and curiosity. "They live such short lives, but they achieve so much. It's so weird"

The Goddess raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Ishi had come a long way since he first gained his human form. He had shown a growing fascination with humans, something she hadn't anticipated when she first brought him to life.

"Very well," the Goddess said, a hint of a smile on her lips. "If you want to understand them, then I'll send you down to live among them."

Ishi turned to face her, surprise flashing in his eyes. "You want me to live as a human?"

"Yes," she replied. "You'll be born among them, grow and walk among them, learn their ways, and experience their world."

Ishi nodded, determination setting in. "I'm ready."

"You won't keep your abilities and strength," the Goddess explained.

Ishi bowed his head. "Thank you."

The Goddess and waved her hand at him and his very being descended at nothing short of immeasurable speed. No... far beyond even that.
