Beginning of Life (2)
-The Primordial God seeks chaos. In chaos, all things develop.
Chaos…in other words, variety.
That was the power necessary for developnt.
Perhaps that may be true.
If everything was just facing in the sa direction, nothing would move forward.
Being different from others was necessary for developnt.
Did Dominus, himself, want that to happen to this world?
-Love and conflict exist because of this. It is the nature of chaotic beings.
Attraction.
I see.
No two people were the sa in this world, and that was why there was love and conflict.
I fought with Lefi every day, and I still loved her regardless… Hmm, well, that’s just the way it was.
As expected of a God, a good choice of words that get to the essence of the matter.
“…In other words, you also had a similar viewpoint, which is why you cooperated with the God of the Demons?”
Earlier, I was joking about being a rebel, but I guess that wasn’t the only reason.
Even this God believed in sothing so much that he risked his own life for it.
Lynn chuckled.
-All of this is far in the past. It is over. But now, it’s about the future.
“…About the future?”
Lynn nodded.
-You have been chosen… You have been chosen to be the heir to life.
“…What, explain?”
-You have been given the authority to access the Boxed Garden. You also have permission to manipulate and develop it.
“The Box Garden is…”
-Oh, ah, now you call it a dungeon.
My heart jumped at his words.
Even in this space, where I didn’t know whether it was real or not, my body started to sweat. It seed I was nervous.
-The Boxed Garden is an Egg. The primordial god is the sa as . I am the sa as you, and therefore inscribe your own mark.
The world itself bore its own mark.
His words reminded of a thought I had in my previous life.
I think it was the Gaia Theory.
The world is a single life form.
Since this planet was also a life form, it would try to procreate like any normal life form, right?
In other words, this was…
“…”
Next I rembered the story of Shen, not Shendra, forr emperor of the Rogard Empire.
[This world is all one dungeon, you know.]
[If we are keen to discover God, it seems to that the shortest way is to study the dungeons.]
That was precisely what happened.
Dominus created the dungeon.
God was there at the end of the dungeon.
The God who created this world.
“Do I… now that I am the heir, do I have to do anything?”
-No. You have been chosen, but what you do is up to you to decide. Your life is free. What we desire is for you to live in freedom with your Boxed Garden.
To live was to be free.
So, you were telling to do as I please.
“Why did you choose ?”
The skeleton laughed at my faint voice.
-Well, coincidence, or maybe divine guidance.
…So, in the end, everything was only known by God, huh?
Lynn continued to speak as I took a deep breath, exhaling loudly to regain my composure.
-And another thing, your weapon, the little Sword Girl.
“What about Enne?”
-She will soon reach a point where she will be able to reach .
Lynn projected a shadow of what appeared to be Enne across the space.
Next, a path stretched in front of her, and eight weapons appeared at the end of the path.
Were you telling … she may beco a weapon that would bear the na of a God?
He seed to be saying that if Enne continued to train like this, she would eventually beco that powerful.
-Take good care of her. She is very rare.
“She’s like my daughter. I would do so even if you didn’t tell to.”
No matter what, she was a mber of my family whom I value more than my own life.
I had been thinking about this for a while now. This God’s presentations, or rather, shadow stories, were excellent. Even though he didn’t put it into words, it conveyed perfectly what he was trying to say.
Lynn nodded his head, as if he understood what I was implying.
-I’ve been practicing a lot, you know.
“You’ve practiced!”
I couldn’t help but be shocked, but Lynn shrugged his shoulders.
Hey, this God, he interrupted with his little jokes.
This God was more like… well, it’s better than being stiff.
Lynn, still looking amused, continued.
-It was a pleasure talking to you. I’m sorry, but I have to leave now, and I can’t wait to talk to you again so other ti.
His words caused to scowl.
“Are you going to leave the spear?”
Lynn nodded.
-I am simply a remnant fire. I am already dead. It is against the rules for to remain in this world.
“Wait, I have more questions…”
But my words were interrupted by Lynn, who turned his palm toward .
-You yourself can find the answers. You are still alive.
“…Oh, right. Yeah. Thank you, I’m glad I got to talk to you like this.”
Lynn smiled kindly.
He had a look filled with compassion that was recognizable despite his skull for a face.
A mont later, the space fluctuated.
Everything white collapsed, and my vision beca unfocused.
Finally, only his words remained in my ears.
-Let your life be fulfilling. Enjoy your life. That is the duty of those who live.

“What a wonderful God…if that’s his religion, I’ll join.”
I slowly opened my closed eyelids as I said this.
Hot, simring magma greeted my vision.
In front of , there was a blank stone monunt with nothing written on it anymore.
The white space had already disappeared.
[…Master?]
I could sense a bit of worried intent from my darling daughter, who remained in my grip.
“Hmm, Enne, how long has it been since I stopped moving?”
[…maybe a minute. You didn’t say anything, you just stayed still. You were acting a little strange.]
“Well… it didn’t seem that long.”
By my senses, I’d say I’d been talking to Lynn for about thirty minutes.
I looked at Enne in my right hand, then at the divine spear in my left hand.
The divine spear.
There was nothing in it anymore.
I could feel it.
When we parted, Lynn taught how to use this spear.
Rather than teach, it was more like knowledge was directly implanted in .
Now I knew how to use this spear that had been bothering so much.
I raised the spear in front of and said, “Claim thy life, O Spear of Mine“
It was at that mont the martial looking divine spear began to change and grow.
In a few seconds, it reached the second form I knew so well, and then went even further….
Normally, it sucked my magic to the limit, but now it didn’t even attempt to affect at all.
It’s because Lynn had recognized as the owner of the spear.
The magma rumbled, and the shrine in front of began to glow faintly.
Then, the magic power that had been collected inside the spear was released, and the space violently fluctuated, and all that power was channeled towards .
I see.
So, this weapon was like a [Key] and its role was to accumulate power when not in battle.
A key to help soone like who would one day co here and open a door to that place.
“What?”
“Whoa, whoa!”
“Husband!”
I could hear three voices behind in a bit of a panic.
[…Master?]
“It’s okay. This is not a rejection.”
An overwhelming force flowed into my body, just as it did when I first ca to this world and Lefi poured magic into , but different from before, I didn’t feel like I was going to collapse.
Perhaps it was because the spear was channeling the power.
Eventually, the change was complete.
The enormous magical power that Lynn had collected until now had been transferred to .
It beca a part of my body, not sothing borrowed.
Then I checked my status.
Na: Yuki
Race: High Lord
Hm…race evolution… I see.
Lynn must have given power.
T/L: Sorry for delay in posting. I was dealing with so real life issues including health one. I will try to make up for skipped postings in upcoming 2 or 3 days. Stay tuned. Thanks.
