[[God Rank: Novice 400 / 1000]]
He finally finished training.
"When will the training quests be reset?" He said as he creates a light, The ball of light he was gathering was now thrice as big than before, While there was a bunch of small stones floating around it making it look like an asteroid belt, but they were not revolving around it because the ball of light doesn't have gravity.
[[2 Hours Before Quest Reset]]
"I see... what else can I do except create things and train?" He asked the system
[[Nothing for now.]]
"....guess I'll wait then.." He sighed and closed his eyes, starting to count.
Counting became his hobby after he died because there was nothing to do except that....After 15 minutes his essence was full again, it was time for him to create light again.
"Let there be li-"
Then he heard a voice, it wasn't the voice of the system nor his.
"Come back here!"
[[Warning, a dimensional rift has been detected please prepare yourself for an encounter.]]
"Wha-" He instinctively backed away and stopped trying to create light, the space behind the ball of light he created slowly distorted and started to absorb the light.
"No! my creation!" He panicked seeing his own creation get absorbed but all he can do was back away since he doesn't know what was absorbing it.
[[A titan has been detected, Danger Level a, Dimensional Worm]]
A Worm with hundreds of teeth came out of the distortion and started chomping down the light he created
"System! that was my hours of work! Is there a way to destroy it?"
[[You can harness your essence and fire it towards the creature.]]
"How exactly do I-" Before he completed his question the system continued
[[Remember the feeling you feel when the system gathers your essence to create an object, gather those on your hand then expel it out of your palm]]
[[I suggest aiming for the worm's head]]
"Alright!" He started to gather his essence on his hands, he ran to the worm's side and aim towards its head... when he felt like it was all of his essence he expelled all of his essence towards it
"Begone!" He said as he fires a beam of light from both of his hands.
[[Skill, Essence Blast has been created, Consumes Almost all of the User's Essence leaving only one behind, Amplifies one's Essence by 3 times and expels it to the target, Can only be used in your essence form, Can only be used if the essence capacity is full]]
The moment it hits the worm, the parts that got hit got disintegrated.
[[Essence : 1/250]]
[[Congratulations, you can absorb the titan's essence and increase your essence beyond its capacity temporarily.]]
He felt extremely tired after consuming almost all of his essence, the light coming from his body was extremely dim now too, almost invisible.
"Alright time to refill myself then, how do I absorb it?"
[[Please put your hands on the creature and the system will absorb it.]]
He did what the system said and placed his hands on the headless worm, soon the creature's body started defragmenting and turned into light
[[Essence: 1001/250]]
[[The Worm's corpse was severely damaged and only 1/10th of its essence has been absorbed.]] The light on his body was restored, though it emits brighter light compared to his maximum 250 Essence
[[Another entity is approaching from the Dimensional Rift.]]
"What?! Again?" He backed away again prepared to blast off whatever comes out of the Rift.
"Where is it?!" A female emerged from the dimensional rift, she had magnificent wings and is wearing a white armor, she was also carrying a huge sword.
"Whoa-" The moment she stepped out of the rift she fell over the void, She immediately flapped her wings and regained her balance.
"Where is this?" Her eyes widen as she saw vast nothingness around the one and only light with a few stones floating on the void, Normally there would be stars and asteroids floating around a dimension but there was nothing here, so it was normal for her to be shocked about it
"Who are you?" He asked the girl.
"W-wha-" She suddenly remembered the task assigned to her.
"Where's the worm?!" She pointed her sword at him.
"I killed it!"
"What?" She looked at him up and down
"A lowly god like you who doesn't even have a physical form killed it?" seeing that he doesn't have a physical form, she scoffed at him
"Yes I killed it!"
"....." She couldn't believe what she heard since a Dimensional Worm could easily kill a novice god like him, someone who doesn't have a physical body, even though its heavily injured, it was supposed to be impossible for him to kill it.
"Did you really kill it?"
"Yes?" This was the third time he repeated it
'what's wrong with this girl?'
"Stop lying, wheres the god that killed it?"
"He's infront of you, Its me, I killed it, Also can't you see that there's nothing else here except you, me and my creations?"
"..." That silenced the girl
"Come with me." She said as she turns her back on him, she started adjusting the Rift's destination.
"Who are you?"
"Lucy, Servant of the 5th Supreme God Gaia, What's your name Novice God?"
"...uhhhh...."
"Lucio..a novice god, nice to meet you." He decided to base his name from the girl and tweaked it a bit, Lucio. His old name used to start with L but then he forgot it with the time he spent in the void.
[[Name : Unknown God]] Turned into [[Name : Lucio ]]
"Follow me." She ignored his greeting and entered the rift which was significantly bigger than before
"Where are we going?" He asked as he follow her inside it , He got curious about her and the other beings that exist since he's been alone for ages, also as he know, gods cant die so theres no danger following her
"Lord Gaia's Dimension, you are to be judged at the court."
"what? did I do something ba-"
"Silence! just follow me"
