After an unknown amount of time, Izo opens her eyes and glances around with a curse on her breath. Patting her body down, Izo frowns at seeing the dried-on blood on her clothes but her wounds are at least healed. Izo warily climbs to her feet and murmurs a small fire spell to destroy her dried blood on the floor. Hastily putting it out, Izo uses a teleportation incantation to disappear, before anyone finds her in her present bloodied state.

  Izo finds herself outside of Emerald City, some 15 miles from the city limits in the middle of a forested area. Izo lets out a tired sigh as she gathers her thoughts in the peaceful quietness of nature. Before she can gather her thoughts, a familiar ding is heard in her ears as an irritating blue screen pops up in front of her.

  Izo’s face twitches for a moment before she takes a deep breath to calm herself and opens the stupid thing back up.

  Izo narrows her eyes pointedly at Charisma and Luck stats but forces her eyes away to view the new skills.

  Izo furrows her brows but is somewhat relieved at having only gained two new skills to use in her God Form. Izo swiftly turns her attention to the new functions and reads the four new tabs: Mortal Market, God Market, Mail, and Administrative Functions. Izo clicks on the Mortal Market Function first when an array of items appeared before her. Herbs, equip-able items, potions, pets, etc., anything really. To purchase said items, real market cash could be exchanged for them.

  Izo almost lets out a string of curses at the sight. If she had known, she wouldn’t have made the deal with the guild and the government. Oh well, at least, now she had a constant supply of items needed to sell. And once she sold enough potions she would purchase some much-needed equipment for herself.

  Izo clicks on the God’s Market and doesn’t even get past the first item when she sees the price for the glimmering bottle. [50 GC’s (God Coin’s)] How does one even go about earning God Coins? Not seeing a help sign, Izo decides it’s best to ignore this tab for the moment and move on.

  Izo goes on to the next tab the Mail tab shows that she has a message inbox. Izo clicks on the message to open it.

  Izo almost says, receive, but chooses to check out the administration tab first. When she tries to click the administration tab a new message pops up.

  Izo sighs and loudly says, “Open.” A batch of items suddenly appear before her and loudly clatter onto the ground. Izo sighs and sits down to gather the dropped items. Carefully cataloging the items, Izo puts everything away into her personal inventory except for the Lottery card and the summoning cards.

  Izo almost has the urge to cry as she remembers her blasted terrible luck. With trembling hands Izo does something she had never done before, she prays to the pink jelly, “Pink jelly, if you’re listening, please let mama win something good. And if you do, mama, will make you cookies and let you nestle in her chest as long as you want.”

  Hoping that the pink jelly heard her, Izo uses the temple summoning card first. The shiny blue card with the picture of a house vanishes from her hand and turns into dust. The ground shakes as the forest around Izo disappears and in its place, a large cottage like dungeon appears. Izo is suddenly transported inside to the 10th floor in front of a large shinning gem like core.

  Izo has the urge to throw up as she feels a violent pain in her stomach. She had the feeling she would have an ulcer before this was over. With trembling fingers, Izo clicks to open the Administrative functions for her temple/dungeon.

  Izo nervously clicks on the Dungeon Market sub-tab and shivers with dread as she reads the price for a single werewolf, 5 GC’s. Swiftly scrolling down for the prices for insects or traps, Izo has the urge to choke. 1 GC for 100 insects or 1 GC’s for a single fire spell trap. Taking a deep breath, Izo stops and closes the sub-tabs for now as she wills herself to gain the courage to continue. That was if she ever managed to gain the courage to do so.
