"Alright, enough joking around.
Be serious."
Little mortal beca serious,
"Yes, big sister !"
Big sister, after listening to his nonsense for a while, sat him on a swing in her garden, and started talking to him about serious matters.
"Little mortal, do you know why you were summoned here ?"
"Yes, I know."
"It's only natural that you don't."
"I said, I know!"
"Be quiet! You can't rember it yet, because your true self is still 3, and doesn't have access to that information yet.
I rember telling you about it when you ... sigh, forget about it.
I explain it to you again, so listen carefully."
"Sir, Yes, Sir !"
"And no need for military salute !"
"Yes !"
Big sister was feeling annoyed.
This brat was no longer normal with his chaotic mories.
The one she rembered wasn't like this at all ...
"Now and then, newborns will be summoned here to participate in their ceremony after coming back to life again.
The main purpose is for you to register in God's ranking list.
Except for you, there are six other newborns as well.
Newborns are the previous owners of incomplete universes, and they use a ritual provided by world law to gain another chance and be resurrected in the Mainland.
In normal circumstances, higher beings from an incomplete universe don't have a main law like others who were born in a complete universe.
They can only start searching and pick a random law they like to master.
But even so, it will never be like those who are born with a main law.
And another thing is birth treasure.
They don't have a birth treasure; if they are lucky like you, and if they are unlucky, their birth treasure will be an evil one, without a doubt.
Those with evil birth treasure mostly die or are devoured by it, and later the birth treasure itself, while making trouble sowhere, gets destroyed by other higher beings who bump into them.
Fortunately, we never encountered such an Evil birth treasure, and I only heard about it through the World Law.
And another problem with higher beings from incomplete universes is that they can't make their own castle, the stronghold that is created from their own imagination, supported by the characteristics of their main law, which is like a ho and first line of defense.
But after you are reborn in the mainland, you have a normal birth treasure with you this ti as a gift bestowed by world law, and you can master any new law, or just continue with the one you mastered in your incomplete universe ."
Little mortal listened attentively and kept nodding.
Big sister, who was interested in seeing his birth treasure, asked,
"Now show your birth treasure,
I'm curious to see what you got. "
But Little mortal shook his head,
"I didn't bring it with ."
And then whispered,
"Don't tell anyone, but there are lots of thieves around here; they might snatch it!
Even other newborns' birth treasure is already stolen!"
Big sister knocked his head,
"Stop talking nonsense.
And why would you leave your birth treasure behind?
Because of so imaginary thieves? "
Little mortal looked away stubbornly,
"I have evidence!
When the ti cos, you will see it!"
Big sister took a deep breath to calm herself down.
This kid's brain was in a ss!
"Anyway, what was your birth treasure ?"
Little mortal first looked left and right to see if anyone else was around!
Then said with a serious face,
"Don't tell anybody, but my birth treasure is an evil treasure!
It can devour the multiverse, mainland, and whatever it sees!
Let tell you, my evil birth treasure is a maniac!
It is consud by an unlimited amount of resentnt!
In our first eting, it started chewing at my heart!
Can you believe it?
I was so scared at that ti-"
Big sister interrupted him,
"Alright, alright!
Enough with your stories... "
Unlike her Crystal, who thought that everything he said might be a scary truth, she thought he was back to bluffing mode, like when he was talking about catching those two higher beings, because his mories were getting mixed up with other mories that didn't belong to him.
"Let's get back to the main topic. "
"Sir, Yes, sir! "
"I said no military salute!"
"Yes..."
"Alright, soon, all of you need to gather for your ceremony.
There are so events there for newborns before registration.
You brats, opposite of other higher beings, don't have a universe, so if you die, then you die for real.
But a higher being with a complete universe, even if they die, can be resurrected while losing part of the law in their universe as compensation.
That's why older, higher beings will shelter you, newborns, after they sign a contract to protect you.
You only need to provide them with part of the law you comprehend in return; in return, they allow you to live in their universe, and, depending on your contract, they might even teach you their own law.
This will continue until you reach level 6, and depending on your contract, you can either leave them completely or stay with them.
Unfortunately, newborns aren't like higher beings, born in a complete universe, who start from level 6 from the beginning.
So, at your age, newborns are mostly level 3.
Either way, after you reach level 6, you need to return to the Mainland and then create your own castle.
Now tell , who are you going to ask for 'shelter'?
You know my law is Entertainnt, a 'Unique Law', so I can't teach it to you ."
Little mortal smiled confidently,
"I don't need shelter!"
Big sister furrowed,
"Why ? "
Little mortal said confidently,
"I have the strongest shelter in the multiverse.
I can even provide shelter to others!
Big sister, let tell you!
My shelter is so advanced that even all of the higher beings in the mainland combined can't harm anyone in there!
The other day-"
Seeing him start bluffing again, big sister stopped him,
"Alright, enough... I take care of you myself until you choose a law, and then I find soone compatible for you.
Anyway, in your ceremony, there is a competition too.
And most importantly, we need to register your na in God's ranking list so you beco a Mainland citizen.
This way, others in the list can't harm you, and if anyone tries to bully you, just let know.
But pay attention,
When it cos to those in the ranking list, the only way to harm them is through a challenge; if you don't disrespect anyone, no one can challenge you!
However, if you insult soone and end up in the God's Arena after they challenge you, I can't help you anymore!"
Little mortal nodded,
"Alright.
And if soone bullied you, you can tell .
Even if it is in God's Arena, I rescue you!
I even know a good judge, called Bredd!
Let tell you, the other day, he even sentenced that sneaky guy to death!
Can you believe it! "
Big sister was so frustrated that she had the thought of kicking him away to where she found him!
It didn't matter what she said, this little boy was ready to follow the conversation with so ridiculous claims...
At this mont, a loud voice echoed through the mainland,
[ Newborn ceremony will begin soon.
Everyone, gather.]
There was no feeling in the man's voice, as if he were just going through a process.
Big sister picked him up and said,
"The voice you just heard was God of contract.
He is responsible for registration and the Newborn's contract.
Any higher being who wants to take one of you,
Need to tell him about the conditions for the contract,
And he will make one with his birth treasure,
Divine ink and brush.
This way, it is guaranteed that no one can break the contract and no one can cheat. "
Little mortal looked at her suspiciously,
"You sure about that?
No one's cheating? I saw this politician dude scamming children with my own eyes.
I have evidence... "
Big sister rolled her eyes at him,
"What are you even talking about? I used his services before, and it was fine.
And rember to not call him like that, he is the one who registers your na in God's ranking list later!"
Little mortal shrugged,
"Alright, and who goes first for the contract or registration ?"
"The last place in the match between newborns.
You need to go into a building called 'contract room', which no one can pry into for privacy reasons."
Little mortal nodded.
Big sister raised an eyebrow,
"Are you interested now?
If yes, I can find a friend to take you in."
Little mortal shook his head,
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not ant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Don't want to."
Big sister didn't mind,
"Alright, let's just go there.
You can see how things work.
By the way, I won't be able to accompany you; I need to cover the event itself.
But don't worry, I'm watching you the whole ti.
If anything went wrong with those five, I'll beat them up for you!
You register and co back to . "
Little mortal nodded obediently,
"Alright."
...
Neutral Ground.
A big empty ground, for higher beings, to gather in peace.
The mainland was indeed a vast ground; no one knew exactly how big it was, except a couple of older generations.
And the reason wasn't because it was too big to explore, but because it was divided.
Any place with a castle was a territory belonging to soone.
Nobody would go to soone else's territory, except if they had a business with the other party.
Maybe the only one who didn't mind others coming to her territory was the Entertainnt Goddess, who had many higher beings around her territory.
Either way, nobody cared about the size of the Mainland, because, except for a couple of places, there was nothing special here to explore.
But what if a bunch of them needed to gather for any reason or make a deal?
Natural ground was made for events or gatherings like this.
This place was a big empty land without any castle close by; no one was allowed to bring their castles here.
There was only a platform at the center, with a building called 'contract room', which was naturally in this place for signing the final contract.
At this mont, on the platform of natural ground,
A group of people was standing.
An ice statue, known as Ice god.
A man in a green robe with green hair stood beside him, and around him, on the ground, all kinds of flowers were growing.
He was known as 'Nature god'.
A lady in a blue dress with blue hair, whose hair moved like sea waves, known as Sea Goddess.
Her Water law was so powerful that if you got close to her, you could hear the sound of roaring sea waves.
Beside her was a man with a twisted face, as if he had so ntal problems, in an old rusty armor, ssy black hair, with twitching eyes.
He was God of disaster.
And another man, or to be exact, a stone man, who was as tall as a small mountain, at least 10 ters tall, stood beside him.
He was God of teorite.
Close to the five of them was a group of seven children,
All three years old, looking slightly intelligent, but depressed.
They were the newborns who gathered here to be registered as the Mainland's citizens, and find a 'shelter'.
Two more higher beings were sitting on two chairs farther away, too.
But they were clearly not interested in getting familiar with these five, who were probably going to take five of the seven Newborns with them.
At this mont, the five 'God and goddess' had a secret conversation,
At this mont, they heard a woman's voice,
That sent a secret ssage to them,
The crowd furrowed this ti.
Guardians were a bunch that they didn't know about them too much, but the older 'gods' knew a lot.
They just went to clear a 'headquarters' with them in the past, and looked for things related to them once in Mortal's universe.
Their beef with him started because of that.
But the older gods never shared any detailed information about it with them.
At this mont, everyone on the Neutral Ground suddenly felt entertained...
And they all felt annoyed the next mont.
Entertainnt Goddess was here...
The group of five turned to see the 'little brother' that she took away.
But he wasn't with her.
Even Entertainnt Goddess was annoyed at this mont.
She was bringing him over, but on the way here, he suddenly said, 'I'll go there by myself.'
And before she could say anything, he was already gone.
She didn't even know how he disappeared from her hands!
She summoned the eyes of a certain higher being to search for him, but he was nowhere to be found...
So she ca here to see if she could find him here.
But he wasn't here either.
Or was he?
At this mont, Little Mortal was actually walking around among these higher beings.
Not long ago, he arrived here.
He first went to the Puppet Master, looked at him in disgust, pointed at the small puppet in his waist, and left.
Then he went to the lady who was representing the Prophecy God, looked at her, and left while confused.
Then he ca to the five people, and looked at them with eyes full of hatred, and started pointing at their birth treasures.
The small tree with Nature God,
The 'drop of water' with Sea Goddess,
A pair of gauntlets with God of Disaster,
And a stone with God of teorite.
He sent the sa ssage to all of them as the one he sent to the birth treasure of Ice God.
