“The Throne of God…? If I am hearing things correctly that is what you are talking about right? Surely I am not out of my mind or anything… And hey that’s a really important subject so like would you really want to talk about something like to me. Well you did fight well and you could learn about another person’s character from the way that they fight but still in the end we are strangers who haven’t known each other and earlier we were trying to kill one another…”

  She chuckled as she walked up to me and patted me on the head. Soemthing that caused me to unconsciously pur. Just something that came to me on my own considering the fact that I was an Elf-Cat.

  “It wasn’t two of us becuase with your friend it was three. But comign back tthe point of our ocnversation, you are someone that I want to see ande velop as a talent.”

  “You completely beat me and Sparkle’s ass when it came to that fight so I don’t really think that it would be the best for you to focus on making us angry stronger considering that you are already so strong already.”

  She chuckled.

  “I am strong but that means nothing after all, I am not int he best state and with enough time I will deteoritate and die so long as I remain trapped in this place.”

  “You are trapped in here? By who and what? Can’t you try to beat them up?”

  She smiled slightly realziing the type of empathehtci person that I have been and she patted my head once once more.

  “It’s somethign that will take a long while of explaining so I will make it short because you both look and sound pretty dumb.”

  I stared at her with a disapppiinted look while Sparkle gave her a death glare. Something that meant nothing as she pressed her hand on Sparkle adn crushed her in her hand before plopping her into my hand.

  “This story is something that begins with the creation of the world specifically the creation of all things with the origin of all things. The World Tree…”

  “The World Tree…”

  I repeated back for dramatic intent something which main characters always did in movies where they were learning important exposition about a major historical event.

  From my experience in watching movies, the World tree was a trope of sorts as being something that roots the world or plays a role in creating the environment of the world. But in this case, the World Tree of this game plays a more omnipotent role comapred to the fiction of such.

  Though being familiar with the tropes of past fiction won’t inherently help me out considering the fact tha tI am in no state to act upon the ifnroamtion that I ahve been given.

  “Desptite th efact that the World Tree was responsibelf or creating everything in this world, it’s power has decliend and it’s own cretions have turned against it. In the cas eof people like us who hold green hair, it’s a relfection of the World Tree’s powers which is seeking to find successors to continue on it’s legacy.”

  Well that was pretty intersting but it was not like I was going to do anything with that information.

  The woman continued walking before coming to the end of the stone hallway where a door had been. She turned to me with a faint smile.

  “Even if you are not willing to support my selfish requests, can you by the very least consider what I am going to tell you to do.”

  “I don’t know much to be honest but I can tell that you are a good person with that alone I decided that I will be working alongside you to become strong.”

  I said wiht a smile as I couldn’t help but begin to droll and iamgine the great and musterious treasures that had waited me in the room right ahead. Walkign up to the door I oepened it revealing a room fulled to the brim with various items. With many various golden coins on the ground and powerful artifacts around and about.

  I glanced around and so did Sparkle while the woman waited for us around the door.

  “Wait before anything else, could I get your name since the two of us are going to be working together.”

  “My name? It’s not something that matters all that much. I’m Ciel and I will be your loyal follower.”

  Ciel bowed to me. I turned abck and ebgan walking upon the pile of golden coins looking for an item that itnersted me. There were many items here definitley wiht an interesting past and power but these were things that I wouldn’t be aware of.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  I continued looking around before realizing that there had been a moutnain of ogolden coins and I sought to climb it. The ground me was wealthy but slippery. It’s the time of thing that I would have normally slipped into and tried to loot but that wouldn’t be fun to get wealth without any real effort so it wasn’t somethign that I was interested in doing even though doign such a thing would be for th better for me.

  [You have acquired the skill Frictionless Step]

  I continued trying to climb the mountain of golden coins but everytime that I tried to ascend it, I would eventually begin sliding back. Something was going to be an issue for me.

  Sparkle turned to me with a sorry look.

  “What are you trying to get?”

  “I think there’s a nice item on the top of that moutnain of golden coins but I an’t even climb up it or even reach it to begin with so could you try to climb it for me.”

  Sparkle nodded.

  There’s no need to climb it after all I can fly.”

  Sparkle flaoted above me and tried to reach out for area right ahead of her. However as much as she tried it was like there was an inviisble wall trying to prevent her from floating.

  “I even tried to do that myself back when I was younger and I couldn’t do a thing. I tried levling up my Anti-Friction skill as high as I could but regardless of how hard I tried I would begin sliding off the coins every time I tried to climb up it.”

  The coins has the pattern of a silver wolf embedded onto them and I fell onto all fours to emulat eit. It was a gesture that instnatly caused shock, disappointment and confusion of Sparkle and Ciel who watched me from the side as they were unaware at the act of genius that I was attempting to grasp at.

  “What are you trying to do?”

  “I thought the coins might have been a hint so I wanted to do something like this. I can’t explain it that well but I have a feeling within my chest that something like this could work a lot better than anyone else could have thought it to do.”

  I reasoned the two girls looked at me with looks of continued confusion though it had slightly diminished. Climbing up the pile of golden coins on all fours, the friction against these coins wasn’t as great as before.

  Unlike normally walking up a mountain, what I was doing was climbing with all fours. Typically climbing is thoguth of being something primarily done with the hands and arms but this is a false imagery. While these elements play a major role in one’s ability to climb, more than anything else the feet which allow stability and foundation tot he rest of it is usually neglected in the conception of climbing.

  But even in the real world application of climbing, it had been unlike anything that Raelia had been trying to do after all she was climbing up the pile of golden coins with her feet gripped right onto the coins with her feet taking on more feline-features with her strong feet grip strength which allowed to grip precisely intot he collosus of coins.

  Steadily but surely, Raelia had managed to climb atop of the mountain of golden coins and waiting right before her had Beena sword. A sword of pure gold. She reached out for the weapon and a system notification appeared right before her. Informing her of the unique nature of this item.

  [This is a legendary item. It is an item that is capable growing alongside the power and development of it’s wielder. While it may start off weak, it has great potnential to become strong especially considering it’s unique properties to shape shift into various forms as it’s master desires.]

  I stared at the golden sword with a look of pure interest and wrapped it into my hands.

  [Do you wish to form a contract with this weapon? Once a contract is form, you cannot sell or transfer the item to any other individuals.]

  I nodded and pressed the Yes icon which appeared right before me and with that I jumped right back down to come back to he ground after climbing the golden coin tower.

  But jumping down all that I saw was a great height that I needed to survive somehow anyway!

  With the golden sword right in my hand, I imagined it to take upon the form of a spear and I plunged it right into the mountain of golden coins. In theory this move would have allowed me the ability to steadily descend from the golden coin mountain but fundamentally at the end of the day it was coins.

  They had the form of coins and unlike a mountain, you could not strike into them because every single coin was a separate entity. Something that would gradually result in my failed descension.

  “Someone help me! I am going to die!”

  I screamed at the top of my lungs asking for someone to save me as I was sure that my life in the virtual world would have came to an end once more.

  “Open your eyes,”

  An Angel of dark green hair spoke as I could feel her beautiful hands wrapped around my back. While I had been falling sh head been capable jumping up and catching my fall. Something which was honestly incredible.

  “Your safe now.”

  I smiled towards Ciel whoo continued to stare at me with a disinterested look.

  “Your safe already.”

  She repeated once again as she was getting annoyed a the fact that I had not opened my eyes. But suddenly I fell onto the ground and let out an unconscious whimper.

  “The heck was that for!?”

  I questioned with red streaks fuming out of my eyes and she chuckled.

  “It’s just that when it comes to things like this, you have to be aware of your surroundings especially if you want to succeed the World Tree and become God.”

  “Ugh… Well now that I got the sword at the very top of the mountain of golden coins, what should I do now?”

  “There was something at the top of the mountain of golden coins?”

  Ciel asked me with a look of confusion before turning to the side and pointing at a golden spear.

  “There was a golden spear but not a golden sword so it really seems like the stories of the ancestors were wrong.”

  “Well they aren’t entirely wrong because the special ability of that golden sword or rather spear is to change shape and form.”

  Ciel looked at me with a look of interest before walking up to me and patting my head.

  “It seems like your idea to crawl up their own all fours worked out in the end. I willa dmit even as someone who is mean tot have faith in you and keep cheering you on unconditionally, that feet of yours is honestly amazing. It’s something great.”

  “Well thanks…”

  I said before turning to Sparkle who had a playful look on her face as she touched the golden spear seeking to make the weapon into hers. But suddenly she was shocked by the weapon before falling onto the ground in a half electocuted state. The two of us stared at her and she stared back at us with a look of fear.

  “It’s scary!”

  She screamed at the top of her very voice before cowering right behind me. Out of curiosity I tried to touch the blade but Ciel’s hand stopped me. Her soft delicate fingers stopping me from touching it.

  “A weapon like that is dangerous. You shouldn’t touch it unless you don’t value your life.”

  “It’s alright. I still want to live and even if I die, I will come back to life but this golden frien dog mine only wants to me to touch it. It’s even saying it.”

  The two girls stared at me confused.

  “Ahem… It’s saying things to you?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Boss, what is it trying to say to you? Is it an evil possessed sword or something?”

  An awkard look appeared on my face. I didn’t really know how to convey this information to them appropriately considering how ridiclous it sounds.

  “I wouldn’t call it evil or possessed more than anything, it’s kind of like a baby…”

  “A baby?”

  “Have you ever taken care of a baby before?”

  Ciel asked me with a mixed look of jealousy and interest in my own form.

  “Well I can’t say that I have taken care of a baby but from what i’ve heard from others, taking care of a baby takes a lot of work.”

  “It always does but even still raising a child is something beautiful ebcause you teach them everything that you’ve gone through. You create and mold something from your experience and you give it the same strength you used to continue on and with this new life, it’s a blank canvas unmarked by the world.”

  “Ciel, I never knew that you were that interested in raising children but as much as you would like to raise babies, this golden guy doesn’t really want to give me to you. After all, he doesn’t trust strangers.”

  “It’s alright. It’s not like I wanted it…”

  Ciel spoke before standing up and walking to another end of the room to three glass encased items.

  “You’ve got some more items to take so follow me.”
