《Great interdimensional war》 Chapter 1: The god has fallen ¡°*sob* *sob* ¡­¡­. Grandpa.¡± A girl about 15 year old sobbed while sitting near a bed. Around the bed, there were also several people standing there, all with a sad expression. Men of all age just stood there in solemn. Some with their eyes closed reminisced the treasured memory. The women were more expressive. Several were shedding tears with handkerchief on their faces. Some buried their faces on the bed sheet, covering their tears and emotions. From the expression of those surrounding the bed, one can imagine how respected and important the man lying on the bed was to everyone here. Outside the building, there was a whole crowd of more than thousands of people there, and the things that kept them in order were two rows of army men donned in high class armors. They belonged to the royal guard army, the most elite force in the whole country that was responsible for protecting the capital and royal family. Normally, a normal person could not even see a royal guard armor if he had never been to the capital. In a countryside province here, the sight of the royal guard was one of the impossible things that could happen. However, today was an exception as the death of the man inside that building deserved that much attention. ¡°Mother, will the Saint no longer be with us?¡± A child tugged his mother¡¯s hem. ¡°He has ascended to heaven, to unify with god.¡± The mother caressed her son¡¯s head ¡°It is already time for him to retire his service in our mortal world and return to where he should be.¡± ¡°Is heaven a good place?¡± The child asked. ¡°Uh. It is the utopia of mankind. A place without war, hunger, disease. No demon, no monster, no more fighting for survival. A place where the angels reside and protect the soul of good people. Shhh. Be quiet now. It¡¯s already time.¡± The mother stopped her child from asking anymore question. ¡­¡­.. ¡°Welcome to the after life, Saint Jeora McLuther.¡± A woman with white bird wings on the back said in a heart warming voice. The man in front of her became surprised with her appearance. He looked around the surrounding then at his feet. At the same time, he checked his body with his hand. The surrounding was a completely white space without any object, except for the two persons. As he checked his body, he realized that he could stand on two feet and move around with vigor. The heavy weight on his muscle and tiredness in his mind a while ago disappeared. Brown patches and wrinkles on the skin, the symbols of old age, also went away without any trace left. Moreover, he felt the hardness inside his mouth, the presence of two lines teeth he had lost yeas ago. The wing woman just stood there, looking at the man examining everything around him patiently. Her expression seemed natural like she expected his behavior. ¡°Although I received the title of the Saint, I have never believed in the existence of god, nor the concept of the afterlife. I don¡¯t even believe the existence of heaven in the first place.¡± Jeora chuckled for a moment ¡°But with what happens before my eyes, I guess I am pretty much a failure for a saint.¡± ¡°Though you did not believe in our god, you are the one who adheres to his teaching the most. In fact, your deeds are more praise worthy and stay true to his teaching than those who claimed themselves the direct messengers of god.¡± The wing woman held him in high esteem. ¡°If so, I shall gratefully accept the praise from an angel.¡± Jeora bowed to the woman in front of him.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. ¡°Please stand up. You do not need to pay respect to me. It is me that needs to do that.¡± The angel raised him up in hurry ¡°Your rank is actually higher than me.¡± ¡°No way, how is that possible?¡± The man said in confusion. In his knowledge, angels were the first direct creatures of the god. Their standing in hierarchy stood above all the other species, even the dragons. How could a human position be higher than an angel? ¡°Listen, what I am going to say is very important. You have to prepare your mind for what is going to come.¡± The angel said with a serious expression. Realizing how severe the topic is, Jeora steeled himself and calmed his mind down. He deeply breathed a few times to clear his thought. It was a technique that helped him many time in his life. ¡°I am ready.¡± Jeora nodded. ¡°The god of our world, Aurora, has fallen for a long time already.¡± ¡°Wh-WHAT? Then the reason for the appearance of demons and the corruption of the church?¡± Jeora shouted with disbelief. ¡°That¡¯s right. Our god is no longer here to manage the world anymore. Thus, those misfortune events happened in the mortal world.¡± The angel sadly said. ¡°Then the heaven right now is?¡± ¡°It is only an empty place without any function. I am the only angel here.¡± ¡°What happened to the souls of the good people?¡± Jeora worriedly asked. ¡°Many of them are sent back to the mortal world, joining the reincarnation cycle without being able to free from it. Only a few with exceptional quality, like you, reached here and accepted an important quest, along with the other angels.¡± ¡°Quest?¡± ¡°Yes, and my mission here is to bring people like you to the heaven and give you this quest. Only humans with exceptional quality like you can have a chance to complete it.¡± The angel then created a scroll out of thin air. ¡°Saint Jeora McLuther!¡± She shouted out with a dignified voice. ¡°I, Angel Linda Ford, Sergeant of the Inter Dimensional Alliance Force (IDAF), manager of God Aurora¡¯s world, now promote Saint Jeora McLuther, a human Aurorarian, to member of the IDAF.¡± ¡°Yes, Angel.¡± Jeora stood straight with serious expression. Although he did not fully understand what she was saying, he could gasp that she was bestowing an important right. ¡°Your mission is to join the army of IDAF, receive training there, and work together with our fellow worldmates. Our utmost objective is to get back the remnant of our god Aurora back and ascend to the rank of god. Our world cannot tolerate the state of godless forever.¡± Angel Linda conveyed the mission to him. The man unconsciously had his jaw opened wide as he heard the content of the quest. Not mentioning the first part, so the objective of the other angels and those like him was to retrieve the remnant from a god. Just what kind of battlefield was the place be that could kill even a god? And his job was to join the god rank too. Was god not an almighty being? Why did she say that god was something like a rank? Many questions kept popping up in his mind. ¡°I understand that you are very confused right now. But do not worry, the receptionist there will answer your question.¡± Linda assured him ¡°For now, I wish you good luck with your journey.¡± Realizing how unsightly he was, Jeora quickly closed his mouth and adjusted his pose ¡°May I ask one question before I go?¡± ¡°You have the right to¡± ¡°What will happen if I reject this assignment?¡± Jeroa asked. ¡°I will send you back to the reincarnation cycle and let you reborn back in the mortal world. But by the time you are born, the world will be harsher than any moment in the history.¡± ¡°Are you making a threat?¡± He asked with a frown eyebrows. ¡°Nope. Whether you accept this quest or not, the mortal world will become harsher eventually.¡± ¡°Why is that?¡± ¡°Without the god, this world will develop naturally without any god intervention. In which case, the demon race will start to evolve and develop with better potential than the human. War becomes fiercer as time progresses and more tragedy will occur.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you do something about that?¡± ¡°I do not have access to the world management system. The best I can do is to give some individual blessings and guidance. In addition, the war becoming more intensified is what I need.¡± Jeora looked at Linda in disbelief. ¡°This world needs to become stronger, both the demon and human. War is the best drive to increase the power for both side. If they are in peace and start slacking off, they will be weak when the real disaster comes.¡± ¡°What on earth are you saying? And why are you, an angel, talking about promoting war?¡± Jeroa angrily said. ¡°This is the time of urgent, Saint Jeroa McLuther. Haiz, you may not understand it even if I explain it to you. You have to experience it by yourself. Time is over. I will send you over there immediately.¡± Linda shook her head then opened the scroll in her hand. ¡°Wait. We haven¡¯t finished talking yet. Wait¡­¡­..¡± Jeroa¡¯s voice stopped as a flash of light engulfed him. ¡°I also do not want to resort to this, but we do not have much time left.¡± Linda said with apologetic expression. Chapter 2: Inter Dimensional Warp Station ¡°Welcome to Port G789 of the Inter Dimensional Warp Station. The local time is 7:45 AM in the morning, September 28th, 1468 AA year. We wish you success with your business and journey. ¡° A clear loud feminine voice echoed the surrounding. The voice woke Jeora up. After recovering from the drowsiness, he started to analyze the surrounding. It was also a white space but he could see that it was an interior of a circle shape room. There were many rectangular frames with pictures or not inside, because he could see that some pictures were moving and sounds coming from it. He could not determine the meaning behind those pictures. There were some pictures with many people faces facing away from each other and a full body of a man standing in the middle holding a weapon, some showing a beautiful women with extravagant jewelry products, and some having big texts of languages that he did not know. As he was confused with the surrounding, a grumbling voice reached his ear. ¡°Hey human, get out of the warp port already. You are going to block the way if you just keep standing there forever.¡± Jeora hurriedly looked down behind him. And there stood a short creature with a getup impossible for such race. A green skin goblin was wearing a well kept brown robe with cloak hanging over. Two short leather shoes fitted tightly his feet, making them suitable for fast movement. On the belt hanged a short white metal handle. The whole outfit gave the wearer a dignified look, which was something impossible for such a savage creature called goblin. What surprised him most was the goblin¡¯s face: calm, composed, wrinkles showing the maturity of the old age, and clear eyes without any wicked thought. Jeora nearly got into his combat stance because goblin was an evil race in Aurora. It was a low class demon that spawned everywhere, bringing nothing but destruction and misery to the people. There was no way such a dignified person in front of him being such a filthy vermin. Besides, the place that angel sent him to could not have such creature. The goblin noticed the killing intent from the human in front of him for a second then retracted. He slightly frowned his eye brows then relaxed as if realizing something. ¡°Oh great! So it is a country bumpkin. It is quite rare for one to use the warp port in this section.¡± The grumbling voice changed to an understanding tone ¡°Follow me, youngster. We need to get out of the gate before another warp occurs, or else the security comes and fines you.¡± The goblin then leaped forward after signifying him to follow. It was a long elegant leap with over 5 meter. The goblin did not seem to make a jump but walk lightly instead. But to Jeora, it looked more like the short green man just flew in the air instead. As the goblin was further away, Jeora decided to follow by running on two legs. A metal circle door opened sideway automatically as the pair approached, connecting to a long empty corridor. After entering, the goblin finally stopped leaping and walked normally alongside the man. Surprisingly, even with short legs, he could still keep up with Jeora¡¯s normal walking pace like nothing. ¡°So youngster, on what occasion do you come here? I can help you with some explaining or guide to the place.¡± The green man talked him to Jeora. ¡°Do you know what this place is?¡± Jeora asked. ¡°I see. A complete beginner. There should be a receptionist who will meet and inform you everything. You can ask her for the detail. I will just briefly introduce to you about this place.¡± The goblin then patiently explained to him. The room where he was a while ago was called the warp gate. Like traditional warp gate, it connected instant movement between places, however, this one was much more advanced, as it connected between different worlds. The Inter Dimensional Warp Station was actually not a station, but an artificial world, made for traveling between different worlds. The spatial law of this world was very special, as the cost or the energy required for the warp gates to remain stable and connect to different worlds became very cheap, even cheaper than traveling between warp gates in one world. This was the result of collaboration of more than 100 time and space gods. Currently, there were more than ten thousand gates, connecting to 765 worlds. In the future, these number would continue to grow. Jeora was shocked as he heard the story. In Aurora, there was only one god responsible for everything. However, according to the old short man¡¯s story, there were infinite number of gods and worlds out there, and each world was different from each other. The short man called himself Master Yoshi, a jedi from an organization called the Galatic Republic. Jeora did not know what a jedi was, but it must be a respectable job, judging from Master Yoshi¡¯s manner. ¡°We have arrived. Again, welcome to Inter Dimensional Warp Station, young Aurorarian.¡± Master Yoshi smiled at him as another gate opened. A complete new world appeared in front of Jeora. In front of him was a grand plaza with numerous people, belonging to numerous races. A majority of them had humanoid shapes, but there were numerous traits that told him that they were not human.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. There were those with animal parts, ranging from cat ears, dog ears, to ox horns, lion mane. He could also see some people with strange skin colors like green, red, or blue. Some had very strange heads, with T shape, heart shape or cone shape. Jeora could see some angels walking around. However, more to his surprise, their conversation partners were clearly demons, those with devil wings and horns. Even from far away, he could feel the dark energy from them, and some presences were far stronger than any demon back in Aurora. Jeora could swear that they were even stronger than the demon king he had fought in the previous war. Seeing how intense Jeora was, Master Yoshi talked to him a low but impactful voice ¡°Calm down, young Jeora. You must apply your world racial prejudice here.¡± His voice seemed to carry some special effects, managing to calm Jeora down. ¡°Phew. Thank you, Master Yoshi. You helped me there.¡± Jeora was grateful. ¡°No surprise. In fact, this is expected. The power of dark side is considered as evil in every place. I also held some prejudice against them when I first came here.¡± Master Yoshi said. ¡°But why are there demons here?¡± Jeora asked with confused expression. ¡°See how they are talking normally with the angels? They are also recognized as part of this community. I know that demon is a term referring to the evil race. But the ones you see here are different. They are demons, true, but they are not as evil as you think. In some worlds, the demons are the symbol of justice and rightfulness, while the angels are opposite. They come from that sort of world.¡± Master Yoshi calmly answered ¡°You will see many more unexpected things later on. The other day, I saw the advertisement for a tour trip to the undead world, and there were some liches distributing pamphlets, promoting how useful their products are. By the way, it seems your guide is finally here.¡± On the far left side, a girl with a black dress suit was hurriedly running toward here. The round black hat with yellow wing symbol on top her hat, combined with her dress code, showed that she had a respectable job. However, in contrast to that, her long slightly unkempt brown hair swayed around behind as she moved. Together with the beautiful face filled with panic, she showed the cuteness of a clumsy yet energetic girl. Her beauty was a fresh new thing to Jeora, and captivated him. In his whole life, he had not witnessed such a strange combination of traits in a woman: energetic yet dignified, serious but clumsily cute at the same time. ¡°I am sorry. I was stuck at the identification check area.¡± The girl gasped as she arrive in front of the pair. ¡°Saint Jeora McLuther from Aurora world, correct?¡± The girl stood up and asked him. ¡°Yes, that is me.¡± Jeora said in confirmation. ¡°I am glad. I was worried that you went ahead without waiting for me. Ah, Master Yoshi, thank you for your assistance.¡± The girl made an apologetic face then bowed to the goblin. ¡°It was nothing.¡± Master Yoshi waved his hand showing that there was no problem. ¡°Well then, young man. Look like we are going to part here. I hope that you can achieve what you want to do. May the force be with you.¡± He then offered good bye to Jeora and walked away. ¡°I hope that we can meet again Master Yoshi.¡± Jeora offered his farewell, then turned to the young girl ¡°Are you my receptionist?¡± ¡°Yes. The name is Miranda Acetime. You can call me Miranda. This way, please, Saint McLuther.¡± Miranda fixed her unsightly look and showed a professional manner. ¡°Please refer to me as Jeora. And also drop the Saint in front too. It¡¯s embarrassing to be called with that title.¡± Jeora said. ¡°I understand, Mr. Jeora. Well then, please follow me. ¡° Miranda showed an understanding look and led him to a direction exiting the plaza. Jeora again entered another long empty corridor connecting to a different warp gate. However, different from the previous one, there were guard stationed in front of it. Miranda gave the guard some identification check and signaled him to pass through together with her. She talked with them in a language that was completely foreign to him. Jeora wondered whether they did not want him to listen the content of the conversation, so he decided to have a check. ¡°Ah, sorry. I guessed I did it naturally without realizing it. The language I used with the guard just now was called Universal Common Language. It is the language that is used by everyone here, but not in Aurora. The reason I can talk and hear you normally is because of the auto translation plug in.¡± Miranda explained. ¡°Auto translation plug in?¡± Jeora was confused. ¡°You can think of it as a blessing. It allows one to understand and speak the language that the conversation partner can understand. It is one of the compulsory blessing that all members of the IDAF are supposed to receive.¡± ¡°Sergeant Linda Ford, I suppose, did not explain to me anything. Can you please tell me this whole thing about the IDAF here?¡± ¡°IDAF, standing for Inter Dimensional Alliance Force, is the organization that connects all the top governing forces in the different worlds to combat our common enemy, the Abyss. Its scale is not simple as a mortal like us can understand. It is an alliance between gods and those standing equally with them. God Aurora is simply a low rank member in the upper hierarchy of this organization.¡± Even after expecting how big this IDAF organization would be, it was still mind blowing to him. Aurora, the center figure of his world, was only a low rank member. He did not doubt that the girl in front of him exaggerated the story as there was no reason to do so. The fact that there were numerous gods out there was enough to for him to change his perspective. In the Aurora church, although he was titled a Saint, he did not blindly believe the teaching and placed it as the center of his life. He only took it as a reference how to live his life in a better way. If he had been an enthusiastic believer, he would have been overwhelmed by this change in perspective so far. Chapter 3: New teammates (1) ¡°So young Saint, can you understand me now?¡± A female angel in scientist clothes talked to Jeora. ¡°Yeah, loud and clear. So this is how receiving blessing in the other world feels like.¡± Jeora said in a fluent Universal Common Language. The place he was being right now was an enhancement room, the place for implementing all kinds of upgrades or enhancement for living people. There were all kinds of tools for empowering the people here. Most common ones were the body enhancement and plug in installation. Body enhancement as the name suggested allowed a person¡¯s body to improve in many areas. With the technology of this place, they were able to quantify any trait of a body: be it endurance, physical strength, agility, and regeneration rate. Plug in installation was a special empowerment feature coming from a very big empire that governed many worlds. Firstly, to be able to use this powering up method, one had to undergo body modification to receive a soul terminal. It allowed a soul to receive many enhancements that can be equipped or taken off with ease. In other words, it¡¯s like making the soul being able to equip soul specific equipment like wearing an armor or helmet on the body. These soul equipment, or so-called plugin, had many functionalities and benefits. One of it was auto translation plugin, the ability to understand and speak any language. Other than that, there were plugins also gave knowledge to the users in different fields such as basic doctor plugin, basic engineer plugin, novice pilot plugin. The other category of plug-in allowed user to be able to use other different powers that exist in different worlds. The low grade included: mana affinity, chakra affinity, qi affinity. Jeora could not see the higher grade plugin, however, from the angel assisting him, the most common high-grade plugin in that category was god power affinity, the power used by the god. Jeora sighed deeply as he heard that. As expected of the place made by many gods, even the power related to godhood could be considered as trade products. By the way, all of these enhancements did cost money. As a member of IDAF, Jeora was allowed free installation of auto-translation plugin at medium grade. Although it was only medium grade, one could not underestimate its power. Besides being able to speak any language from a mortal creature, the medium grade allowed him to read archaic languages, also known as god languages. Different from normal speaking languages between living creatures, archaic languages were languages that contained strength in any of their words. It was the language used in many extremely powerful spell recitation or divine artifacts. Getting the medium grade plugin meant that he could learn more divine spells in his world, or even invent a new one with enough knowledge. That fact alone made him more amazed at the scale of the organization he was in. In addition to the plugin, Jeora was also offered a chance to enhance his body. However, being already a saint in his young age, Jeora¡¯s body was already exceptional in his world, and that made his enhancement more costly than normal. Instead of enhancement, he was offered the same amount of money used for enhancement instead. By the way, the currency of this place was called CC, short for common currency. The following schedule for today was like this: body examination and enhancement, meeting with new comrades, then attending the briefing conference together. Finishing the first task, the place he was heading to was where he would meet his new teammates.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Joining a big organization like IDAF was not a simple deal. Even though he was joining it with the recommendation from Linda, the angel in his world, he was still only a cadet, the lowest level of member in this organization. Furthermore, he also needed to pass some tests before being official members. From Miranda¡¯s story, the minimum requirement to join this organization was being a very respected or powerful person in his own world. In Aurora''s term, one had to be at least the level of the saint or hero to be eligible to apply here. And Jeora just barely fulfilled the requirement. The other way was to get the recommendation from the god responsible for that world. In fact, this was the most common method as the god was very objective and selective in choosing the personnel sent here. Standing in front of the door, Jeora was slightly excited. He wondered how the saints or heroes from the other worlds look like. Working together with the saints or heroes in order to rise up from the bottom level. This kind of experience could not be imagined back in his world. ¡°Oh! Look like a new guy finally comes. Over here!¡± A muscular young black haired man in the room waved at Jeora energetically. ¡°Hm, he looks like someone from those fantasy novels, I wonder if he likes my pizza.¡± Another black hair man wondered. ¡°Hahaha, why are you, a doctor, trying to impress people with pizza? Should you impress him with your skill instead?¡± The muscular one laughed cheerfully. ¡°Well, I used to be a pizza boy after all. Not until I died of old age did I realize that making good pizza is a good way to know people.¡± The pizza guy said with confidence. ¡°Nice to meet you. My name is Jeora McLuther, a human Aurorarian. I am glad to be your acquaintance.¡± Jeora offered greeting in polite manner. The two men looked at each other in confusion for a while ¡°Ah, let¡¯s see. How should we introduce ourselves? I mean we both come from a place called Earth, but they are two different Earth. I don¡¯t know what to call my world like.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your world called Jojo bizarre adventure?¡± The other man said. ¡°No! Don¡¯t call it such a shameful name. I know that our earth came from a fictional comic, but for everyone to give your home such a weird name is definitely strange on many levels. Oh my god!¡± The muscular guy howled. ¡°I read your story. It was truly a definition of how a man should be. Different from mine, a world where everything is down straight creepy in other world people¡¯s eyes.¡± The pizza guy sighed sadly. ¡°Sorry to hear that man.¡± The muscular guy patted his back. On the other hand, Jeora was quite speechless at the scene. He only stayed silent a while before saying ¡°How about resuming introduction again?¡± ¡°Oh yeah, the name is Joseph Joestar, a human Earthling. Old job, uhm, real estate manager?¡± Joseph introduced himself. ¡°Alan Probe, also a human Earthling. Old job and current job are both surgeons, you can think it as a specialized doctor.¡± Alan introduced himself ¡°Call me when you have any injury. I will be sure to patch it right away.¡± ¡°I will be relying on you at that.¡± Jeora smiled then offered a handshake. He learned that a handshake was a good gesture of friendship between people here. *Bang* Suddenly, a loud sound of door opening occurred behind Jeora. However, when everyone turned behind, there was no one there. Then, a sound came up from behind everyone. ¡°Oh, pizza. Hm, this is actually quite good. Where did you order this stuff? I must have the address for that place.¡± A silver hair guy spoke while eating the pizza on the table. ¡°Actually I made that myself.¡± Alan said while in daze. ¡°Oh, can I get your number? Ah, don¡¯t mistake. I am into ladies, not men. I just want to order some pizzas from you. You know, like asking the contact address for pizza stores.¡± The white hair guy jokingly said. (What¡¯s up with that speed? It was just like the time I faced with DIO.) Sweat formed on Joseph¡¯s forehead. (That man, he has the smell of demon on him. Who on earth is this guy? And what did he do just now?) Jeora frowned his eyebrows.
