Deitas awoke softly
In front of him was a city on fire, sentient beings being slaughtered indiscriminately
He watched as not only the men were killed but the woman and children
'What am I what's happening' Deitas tried to speak only to have no words come out of his mouth
Deitas was calm even while watching everything happening
He felt it was wrong but all he felt was…pity
Pity for the poor beast like creatures
———
Deity System Activated
———
Deitas knew what these words meant but could not know why, he was just born
———
Quest:
Help some demon kin survive
You get:one follower
———
Reading this he felt pure apathy
'Why would having a follwer be beneficial to me?'
And the system responded in kind
———
The more followers you have the more faith you get every day, using faith you can make yourself stronger,interact with the physical realm, and buy things from the store
———
'So? What could I even do in this situation, why should I get stronger anyways I doubt anything could hurt me' Deitas responded
———
Quest updated:
Upon failure you are erased from existence
To complete you must help one demonkin survive
———
'What a bitch' Deitas resigned himself to being the lapdog of whatever this was
'So how would I even help someone, from what I can infer I'm invisible to them and probably untouchable as well' Deitas said
———
You can whisper to their minds, how you use that is up to you
———
'Okay so can you at least tell me a safe location for tthe demonkin?' I asked
———
Underground
———
'…'
'Very descript' Deitas was already learning sarcasm
Hovering above, though he did not know how Deitas looked for someone to aid
But as he had taken so long there was nobody remotely close to him but he could see those soldiers encircling a larger circular building
As he approached he could see the soldiers seemingly cheering
"We've encircled them this city is doomed!" The seemingly leader said
Each soldier was donned in a navy blue suit of armor while the one who was seemingly the leader had much more gold on him along with no helmet
Floating into the building I saw dozens of half human half animal people
Much less demon then one would imagine from people called demon kin
Nonetheless Deitas has to find a way to save at least one of these people
'The system said it was safe underground so I guess I'll check there' Deitas said to himself as he went through the floor
Weirdly enough he could still see in a weird way
He could see every hole in the ground that was near him
Most being way too small or not being connected to the surface
But there was one
As Deitas floated into his system pinged
———
You have found a dungeon:
Virium Millie's resting place
Once a hero for demon kin eventually was cursed by the gods and fell ill
This is where he took his last breath in his home town
However even after death his spirit held on strong
His spirit changed the soil around him slowly but surely over thousands of years
Now every demon kin who died in this city is here waiting to take revenge on those who killed them
Difficulty: Varied
Demonkin:F-
Human:A+
———
'Guess this is the place then' Deitas thought while looking at the difficulty's
Looking at the entrance to the place it looked to be covered by wood
Going through it Deitas saw it was just a book case in the darkest corner of this seemingly town hall.
Looking through the crowd of people Deitas looked for the most calm person
As he looked his eyes landed on one boy
He looked half man half goat sort of like a satyr
He just sat in the corner with full lifeless eyes
'He will do, system how do I communicate with them' Deitas asked
———
Touch their head and speak
———
Looking at the back haired goat boy Deitas did as the system instructed
Placing his intangible hand on the boy he spoke
'Do you wish to live mortal?'
The boy shot up and looked around his once lifeless eyes showing a tiny sign of hope
"Who are-" The boy started speaking
'Answer the question or I may not be able to help you' Deitas said
"…as long as everyone here can survive" The boy replied
'It's up to you to convince them, now go to the back left corner and you will see a bookshelf, behind it is your people's salvation' Deitas said already acting like a true god (manipulating people)
The boy followed his instructions and came upon the bookshelf
"What's behind here?" The boys asked
'A safe place for you, but not for humans'
At this the boy raised his hoof like foot and kicked the wood in
What Deitas didn't know was this strength was abnormal even for goat demon kin
Looking through the hole the boy seemed to finally regain hope
"Everyone! There seems to be an old passage over here!" The boy yelled out to his people
The 47 remaining demon kin all seemed to look at the boy
"What? When did they put a passage there?" One asked
"How did the boy find it?" An older gentleman wondered
But as they crowded around the bookshelf the once desperate people became excited
The demon kin broke down the back of the bookshelf to find the tunnels of Virium Mille tomb
They started pouring down into there
But the older gentlemen seemingly part bird stayed behind a bit
He walked over to the boy
"Youngin how did you find this?" He asked
Then Deitas told the boy what to say
'Someone spoke to me, through my mind' Deitas said
The boy copied him
"Like a god? You know us demonkin don't have any deities, it's the entire reason why the humans are so much stronger then us as adults" The old man said
The boy replied "Who is to say we can't have a deity?"
"Well… Nothing I suppose it's just never happened" the old man replied
Through all of this Deitas had been trying to talk to the old man but was unable to
'Why can't I whisper to his mind?' Deitas asked
———
With your current power your only allowed one divination target per day
———
Sighting Deitas followed the demon kin down the staircase
