《Accidental Time God》 Chapter 00 - My First Time Hobin PoV It took me 3 years to finally be able to complete the Clock of Clocks! This thing will never run ahead or behind. It is finally completed, my small pocket watch! Now is the time to make it be in time! *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡°It is alive!¡± I shout after hearing the ticking sound. After three years of research, thinking, designing, and building my pocket watch is completed! *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I look at the clock and right before I set the time I notice it had already been set... Year 50, December 25th at 12:18, the pocket watch was finally completed. Small gears inside the body and, in the center, a small mana crystal with small details and some spells that will always make it work perfectly. 3rd PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* The watch would never go wrong and the creator passed it to his eldest child, who passed it down to his children and that continued for a few more generations. The clock would always be there, right on time, never ahead or behind. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 340. The new owner wasn¡¯t that fond of the pocket watch since it was strange. The strange watch never stopped working because of the mana stone in the middle and to open the watch it would probably break. As an heirloom since long ago it would be strange if it is found broken when it endured all these years without breaking or getting rusty. But luck sometimes doesn¡¯t like the time, and when the watch''s owner put it inside his pocket he let it fall. He didn¡¯t feel it or think about it, the owner at that time was a boy and he had found a beautiful girl and in his recklessness he let the pocket watch fall. A week passed and no one found the watch since the rains at that time were getting heavier and the few people that walked out of their houses wouldn¡¯t notice it laying on the floor. But luck sometimes gets it right as well. A dog found the watch on the ground and after sniffing the watch the dog picks it up, without stopping runs to his owner. A skinny looking boy, you may say that he was an abandoned kid and lives in the slums, but when he sees the watch his eyes shine. The watch was beautiful, it was working and no water has entered the watch to damage it. The boy thought about selling it, but what will he do if the clock''s owner appear just to find that the watch has been sold? So he held onto it for a few days, using his hideout to hide the watch that smelled like money. The boy waited for six days and he never heard a word about the clock that he had found so he rushed to sell it in one of the stores he knew that worked with clocks and the things like that. He had to bargain a little but he got a good price for it after the clerk had inspected the goods. It was a small price to pay to be able to get the clock. And the clock that was put to be sold in the shop was waiting for an owner. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Everyone would ask for the price of the small pocket watch but they would never want to buy it. It was a strange good because it was never wrong and the people that would talk about it would find it strange. A rumor about it being haunted started to spread to the citizens. But it is strange¡­ The same haunted watch was bought a few years later after the rumor started. The person who bought it was a kid and he had wanted the pocket watch, he never thought why he wanted it. It was just a feeling that it was a thing he had to have. ¡°Father! I finally bought it!¡± The boy said showing his father the ¡®haunted¡¯ watch he wanted to buy since he was five, and now after ten years he finally had bought it. It was strange that no one wanted such a good watch that would never have the time wrong and his father just smiled wryly to his son. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. The boy was amused with the watch and since that day he would always walk with it in his pocket. The ticking sound of the watch always made him calmer and helped him to cope with the everyday stress. The boy now is a man and at that time he already have a 20 year old son of his own, named Justin, that was enlisted to go to war with a nearby kingdom. He was fearing for the life of his son and gave him the watch saying that it would protect him. The son accepted the watch as he had always liked the watch, just like his father, and receiving it was a thing he had never thought about. He went to war with his sword and magic, prepared to die for his kingdom. The war started on July 6, year 648, and Justin was a normal soldier at that time. But after the start of the conflict he was promoted more than once and the watch was always there, in his pocket, the ticking sound calming his mind. It was the day after he was promoted to Commander of a squad of his own, January 1st, year 650, the enemies surrounded his squad with a surprise attack and for an entire day he bravely fought the enemies that appeared one after another. Until an arrow was shot at him, aiming straight towards his heart, and he would not be able to defend against it. He could see it approaching, but knew he could not move his body fast enough to dodge or block. He just waited for the arrow to hit its target, but it never happened. A few millimeters from his body the arrow was stopped. The enemies, his remaining allies around him, all of them were frozen solid and just he alone could move. He used the frozen time to move and when he just moved out of the way of the arrow, the time started to flow again. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡®I¡¯ll protect you¡­¡¯ That was said to be the first time of the watch. Its first thought. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* He couldn¡¯t understand what had happened but he didn¡¯t have the time to think. The combat continued for a few more years, and it happened a few more times, time freezes for a few seconds or sometimes time would go back a few seconds. Justin didn¡¯t know who did it or why it did it, but he didn¡¯t care, it had saved him more times than he could think. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* It was, obviously, the watch. Every time his owner was about to die he would active the small time magic it could use. It was strange. The first thing he thought was about the care the owner gave him, and it was what made it ¡®move¡¯. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* August 20th, year 655. The war ended with the victory of Ordaias kingdom. It was largely because of the efforts of the now Lieutenant Justin that the army gained victory in the war, and the king came to understand that the man was excellent. The king gave him a knight''s title as a hope to make his family grow and as a way to maybe understand how he could ¡®move¡¯ like he did during the war.
Spoiler : Chapter 00.125 - Watching Time Pass Me By Pocket Watch PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* A thing is coming close to my owner, for some reason I think it would be very bad if it hits him¡­ Why would it? I don''t know. I use most of the small quantity of energy I had inside my core to will time to stop around him, around us, and with that he was able to move out of the way. What is time? Why is my owner so surprised that it stopped? *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 650, January 1st at 14:56:21, it was the time I awakened and I thought that I need to protect my owner¡¯s life. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I am more of an observer than a fighter. Right now I am just looking around and seeing what I can see. Even being kept in a pocket, I can somehow see all around me. My owner would always says that he liked me, I am feeling useful since the first time he said that. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡®What am I? Who am I? Who created me? What is my purpose? Why was I created?¡¯ I was thinking about these things but no one answered me, no one could hear me, so I just stayed there observing my surroundings while taking in energy, mana my owner calls it, from the air. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* With my help, once in awhile, my owner was able to avoid death and now he is praised as a hero. I learned a few things about myself, well, just what I am and where I was created. It looks like I have the ¡®memory¡¯ of my past and, although it is far more simple than what I ''think'' now, I just needed to look inside my own ¡®body¡¯. Year 50, December 25th. That was the day I was ¡®born¡¯. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Today my owner took me to see a man named King and he received some kind of title¡­ I don¡¯t know why someone would receive such a thing or what it would be used for¡­ *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* The Knight Justin, my owner, is now marrying a girl. He says that she is beautiful. I don¡¯t understand his concept of beautiful or his logic about love¡­ I wish I could understand it. Oh, the woman is named Mary¡­ but I don¡¯t care, it''s just my owner that I need to protect. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 685, June 17th. Owner is dying, and I am now a present to his son, Homer. Owner Justin made sure that the watch should be passed to the next generation right before the death of the previous one. It is sad to part with him, but I understand that the humans do not have much ¡®time¡¯. Their lives are short and in this time they really live with all their power, ticking and fighting for their future. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Owner Homer is now 45 years old and he is already passing me to the next heir. Nothing happened during this time for me to use my powers, except when he was about to make some bad decisions while training so I have him go back in time. It was kinda fun playing pranks with him like that, but now with his body like that it is almost impossible for him to continue. He didn¡¯t die but he was poisoned, and it made him grow weaker every day. Today he is giving me to the next family head, it is his oldest son Matheus, 13 years old. The others were all girls and have already married since they are older than him. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I was observing his growth and everytime he made a mistake I could see that it was funny to watch over the humans. Matheus was excellent in magic, but could not do well with swordplay. But he never stopped training and now with 39 years he is known as the Magic Knight. It is just a title. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Another war broke out on March 20th, year 750. The house of my owner, acclaimed as the hero, was chosen to command the battle. We won because of the tactics all the previous leaders would drill into the minds of the new ones. It made them more and more military-like in their way of thinking, it amused me how a few things can change their behaviour. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I continued to spy on and help my owners when I could for 200 years. I could see that the city was getting bigger, the humans more numerous and yet¡­ some people tried to steal me. I would just freeze time and let my owner walk on for a second or two, it worked perfectly and I learned that not every human was good. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* My current owner fell in love with the crowned princess and he wanted to confess his love to her, but right on the day he would do it bandits had kidnapped her. They were asking that the king marry one of them with her, so that he would be the next king. I laughed at his behavior. The ¡®hero¡¯ family is here, always watching and prepared to defend their citizens and royalty. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Victor, my current owner, was preparing to raid the hideout with the help of the kingdom''s guards to rescue the princess and the king was more than happy that the heir of the house that led the kingdom to victory in more than one war was offering their sword. I had already killed some heirs on my own... If they got too careless I would just make their time stop... it was strange that after just two owners dying I was treated as both a cursed and a holy item. I could save my owner or kill him if he started to put himself in needless dangers. Well, I was never officially named as a cursed item, but the people of the family understood that if they had me I would stop time. It was what made me the first ''magic'' clock. I didn''t know how to truly use my power and I could just make one person move in the range of 10 seconds at the most, and after that I would need to recharge my mana for an hour before using it again, or 6 minutes to use it for 1 second. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* "Watch, I ask for your protection. Please guard my life if I ever enter into true danger." Viscount Victor Mammon requested of me. Yeah, the family has upgraded their title and gained some territory, because as a knight they were nobles just in name and as Barons they could have just the house, but as Viscounts they had some territory and could join the meetings of the kingdom. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ''I''ll protect you if you aren''t extremely reckless.'' I answer him and he places me inside the pocket that was placed right near his heart. It has become tradition that all my owners only wear clothes with such a pocket, and it is reserved for me. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. He leaves with 30 well-trained swordsmen and 6 mages. The full mages were outnumbered by the magic swordsmen, but the full mages were well-trained in magic and their mana pools were bigger as well. The women typically choose to be mages and light workers while the men worked more as archers, knights and heavy workers. That was what I have seen until now. It was not long before they were already close to the building the princess was being held hostage. She was tied up and the people around me were about to enter but luckily Victor made the right decision. He made a signal and shouts with all his might. ¡°I AM HERE TO TAKE THE PRINCESS BACK! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO SET HER FREE WITHOUT ANY HARM!¡± He had used a common magic to make his voice reach far distances. The sheer volume and tone of voice made some people that were watching run away. ¡°We want 1000 gold plates, a free pass to get out of the country without problem, as well some slaves!¡± One of the bandits said. His body was big and he was bald, quite hilarious to see and I wanted to polish it like my owners do to my body once a few days and I love it. My visage gets so shiny and the time starts to shine as well. He was there with the princess and just appeared to say what he wanted and then entered the building again. ¡°*Tsk* He is smarter than I had thought¡­¡± My owner clicks his tongue while shaking his head and with a few more signals of his hands, the mages and knights start to spread out without making sounds, all while using some easy spell they start to bind or defeat the bandits with ease. It was then that it started for real. More and more bandits appeared from everywhere and with an order the mages made a circle inside the warrior¡¯s formation. My owner was battling on the front with all the men and once every few minutes an arrow would enter the building. The power balance was quite off and the small army made its way to the top just to find a more powerful group of people. They were powerful enough to hold down all the people in this room, except for one. Me and my owner work together and with a small light I stop the time for my owner as the leader of the gang is about to throw something at my owner¡¯s head. It was a strange thing, probably a knife, and he would not notice it because he was engaged with three other men on his own. Noticing the time magic he quickly cut the necks of the men he was fighting and with a side step he goes out of the way of the strange dagger. I then deactivate my magic. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡®I used 3 seconds, I have 7 left. To be able to use those 3 again I¡¯ll need to wait 18 minutes¡­ We will probably not have the time to do it.¡¯ *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Victor then rushes to the leader, but the man put the princess right before him and smiles to my owner. ¡°I don¡¯t know how you did that, but I can see that it has limitations.¡± His smile widens when he sees my owner''s eyes. He is correct, I can¡¯t use this power recklessly and he knew about it¡­ The boss snaps his fingers and some more people enter the room. 40 in total and they were all using small lances that were pointed at everyone. ¡°Now I am walking away so that I can eat this delicacy.¡± The bald man''s fingers run through the hair of the female that my owner loves. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡®*Sigh* Ok, I understand¡­ I¡¯ll use the last 7 seconds already for you. Use it wisely.¡¯ *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I thought and using the mana inside me I make the time stop for a second time, and without losing even a second my owner runs and decapitates the leader, taking the princess in his arms just as my magic runs out. I had activated my magic again because I felt his anger. This emotion is one of the most primordial ones and I am already used to it¡­ but I don¡¯t know why sentient beings act like this. I don¡¯t understand the base of the emotions like anger. It is then that it works normally again. The world starts to run once more, the flow of time is back to normal and the leader falls dead. ¡®58 minutes and 40 seconds to total recharge of mana.¡¯ I proceed to look at the fight that unfolded without any new problems and the bandits were killed or restrained. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡®30 minutes and 50 seconds to total recharge.¡¯ It was a fast fight as expected, and Victor got what he wanted. The king promised to marry him with his daughter because of his excellent work. My secret had been revealed to the king as well. The clock that is a curse and a present. If used correctly it will be a present, but once it is used recklessly it will kill its owner. The king smiled, he had a strange light in his eyes but he never said or tried anything. I don¡¯t know why but I think I understand a bit more of the mortal''s emotions¡­ *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 855, May 5th. Victor married Mary, the princess, and from that my place is elevated as well. Before I was just an heirloom, but now I am a Royal Treasure and just the King and the crowned prince or princess can hold me, after being well-trained to not act recklessly with me in their presence. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡®Is it this what they call happiness? Or this is solitude?¡¯ *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I thought while I look over the bed where the now crowned prince was having his night activities with the princess. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 860, January 1st. Victor is now the King and Mary is the Queen. They have already a three year old kid. Black hair and blue eyes. A cute boy was waving his hand to the crowd and I was around his neck. He is going to be the next King and with it he will need to learn how to ¡®use¡¯ me. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
Writer''s Spot: Hello people of hell! I''m the the Writer, as you may have noticed, or not. I came here to tell you all one thing! HAVE A BLAST! *Explosions* KABOOOM The story will walk a little slowly, for now... YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I want to see how many people will discover the SECRET. Chapter 00.25 - Time For a New Perspective Pocket Watch PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* The new king sure is a lovely kid, but he is a bit too energetic and sometimes I had to go back in time for a few seconds just to not let him hurt himself with a pathetic reason¡­ well, I just did that while he was a kid and was learning how to walk. I didn¡¯t want to see the kid dead before he matured, so until he was 3 years old I protected him from any harm like pointy and cutting things. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Today was his 15th birthday and it looks like he is going to receive the training to be able to lead people since his father, that was my previous owner, had already made his mind sharp from his training. That means that the royal family is now going to have a good mind in helping them solve problems without worries. The boy¡¯s name is William and he has two younger sisters, Berenice who is 12 years old and Celestia, 7 years. The trio would always be together and it is said that the princesses are going to be beautiful maidens. I still don¡¯t really understand the concept of beauty of the Lifetime Marked beings. The things they say are beauty are ephemeral to me and I can¡¯t see what they like in it. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* No problems so far this life. No wars, no problems with the kingdom, and the small problems were just like the ones they always had. Corrupted animals by impure mana, some bandits that want to steal a princess to become known¡­ they could try to change their tactics and learn other things¡­ just like always¡­ but the lifetime of my owner is finishing and I have been passed on to his daughter. She is a girl with good foresight and understood what I really am. A clock that can use a magic that was just for the gods. As such she decrees that I should have my own place to stay and be worshiped as one. She gives orders to the workers to create the tallest and most beautiful clock tower possible. She first chooses one of the blueprints she liked the most and how much it would cost to prepare everything. Since the people have already seen some of my magic they didn¡¯t think about denying the little Queen and happily accepted the job. Who wouldn¡¯t be happy to be able to create the sanctuary of a deity? That was what they said as they started to work on it properly. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* They literally destroyed the previous palace that was in the middle of the city, but not before creating a new one a little farther from the center. The location of the old palace is where the tower would be built, though it would take some time to be able to complete since the production of steel and all is low. Well, they have tons of metal, but the magic things they are planning to create are difficult to be created with their weak bodies and I had to wait. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Again nothing happened and the last wish of the little girl was to continue the creation of the tower and her heir, my new owner and her daughter, said she would continue the project as well as try to make it faster. My new owner worked hard to find new solutions and other things, but the one that gave her the answers was an old person, the head of the royal mages. She was the one that suggested to let the mages help in the construction since they could use magic and they would be able to speed the process a little more. Not only that, they could make it in a way that the mortals would find it such a majestic construction that no one would dare to laugh about the form of the Deity of Time that started to live in the watch. My owner said that she wanted to think about it a little and in two days she accepted the help of the magicians in the construction site.*Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* The years passed and just a few incidents that I saw were good to mention as I continued to pass through generation and generation as the main heirloom of this kingdom. Today, year 1060, July 15th, I am going to be placed in my tower. The tower''s structure and outside were already complete for a century but they didn¡¯t have some of the internal things done, and the core they needed was not found until a few days ago. Now it is placed in the last room at the top, right in the place where they are going to put me. Four giant clocks were placed, one on each wall, and they could be seen from any place in the city. The 10 story building was finally complete and the four clocks were all set at midday as that way would be easier to let me control them. Various bells were placed inside the top of my tower and with them I would be able to make various noises and create melodies to say what time it is. The current king, my owner, is before the Clock Tower and everyone from the kingdom was here to see before them the tower where the new god is going to be placed. He was preparing to do a speech about my ¡®past¡¯, or probably a part of it because I myself do not know how I got to be myself¡­ I just got some answers and nothing more. But the biggest question is, how did I get to be sentient? But let¡¯s just hear what my last owner is saying. Today is a good day to give a speech¡­ ¡®And what is this that I am feeling? I never felt it before¡­ could it be¡­ happiness?¡¯ I ask myself but I couldn¡¯t talk to the people here or to my owner so I didn¡¯t really understand what it is. ¡°Citizens of Ordaias, I, Miagorn Valsalles Drarrugius Ordaias the First, am here today to tell you all that we are finally able to complete the great Clock of Clocks!¡± The people before the tower shouted and would have made me deaf, if I had ears. I just looked at them, I had never seen so many people together, except when in war and it was not a good thing to wake up at that time¡­ he continued his speech. ¡°It took us 200 years to finally be able to see how beautiful this monument will be when completed, and today is the day that the Great God of Time will have a true place to live!¡± He proceeds walking to the stairs and the people wanted to follow him, but were all stopped by the guards. ¡°This place now is a sacred place and we don¡¯t want anyone interrupting His Majesty in this delicate moment. The heirloom of this kingdom that appeared in the first great war is now going to be placed where it should always have been: a sanctuary where its power will be completely true. Out god will finally be able to be free himself from his improvised body.¡± I heard the man in white, who had accompanied my owner until now, saying those words. I just waited for it to finish. ¡°Do you know¡­ every generation we never tried to ask what you wanted and just did what we thought was correct. I am lucky to see that you guided my family with your power until now. But I think it is time to let you go, to observe new places and people and finally be able to discover what you really want.¡± The king was crying and I couldn¡¯t tell him anything¡­ Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. ¡®I am not what you think I am¡­¡¯ I wanted to say, but my own core wouldn¡¯t allow me. It was like I was already a god since the beginning, not like I would always hear what they wanted so I ¡®trained¡¯ the royal family to not depend on my usage to be alive. Their lives are important to me¡­ probably it is because I am a god, so I just listened to him while doing what I could do: mark the time with my ticking sound. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡°It looks like this is goodbye.¡± My owner says with a strange smile on his face. The same kid I have seen be born and grow into such a good man that would always work perfectly, never too cruel or merciful. Always in the correct place, a wise man who would always talk with me with a smile and a shine in his eyes¡­ The time when he married the girl he liked, his first kid¡­ everything flashed through me and a new thing appeared in my core. ¡®Is this¡­ sadness?¡¯ I ask to the new thing I have discovered. Today was a strange day, I discovered happiness and sadness and now they are merging together. I have the other one, as well, that I had discovered before and the one I felt the most in all my owners, rage. ¡°Let¡¯s go. This is where you are going to be placed.¡± He walks and lets me see the room. It has nothing in it, just a BIG core. I say big because it is really huge! It is a perfect sphere as tall as my owner, 180cm, with a carving that was made to perfectly fit my watch inside it. ¡°This is the place where you are going to live now. The door I have used will be sealed after I leave and no one will be able to enter this place.¡± He says and starts to take the chain out of my body and I look at his face. ¡°Our god now is going to be in his new body, in his own domain, and may you bless us mortals with your guidance.¡± The king proceeds to place me in the carving on the core. I feel the surge of mana entering my body and I let myself quickly sink as my small body enters my new core, gaining more and more mana until the small watch stops in the middle of the core. Looking to the place where the carving should be I found that it had disappeared and now the sphere was perfectly made. I look once more to the king and find that he has kneeled. ¡°Our god has accepted his new body and now¡­ I¡¯ll leave you alone.¡± He stands up and wipes away his tears. When he leaves the door lifts itself and is closed shut. No one is going to be able to access this room and I had already understood all the structure of this place. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock*I spread my mana through the gears and with my knowledge I have gained I write the same enchantments I had in every gear and part of the tower that didn¡¯t have it. I could see that I have shone when I completed it and the four clocks started to spin, setting the time; 17:50. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* And with a new mana circuit I set the bells to ring. A song that I have heard one of my owners sing and now it is my own lullaby. I am using it to show that I am ¡®happy(?)¡¯ with my new body. I shift my sight to the outside of the tower and I can see everyone that was present in the Clock square kneeling and praying to their God of Time, asking for protection. It is at this time that he appears, the last owner, the king that had finally accomplished the project left undone for many generations of kings and queens. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* The king walks back to his platform and says that they all should lift their bodies and have a good look at the sanctuary they constructed for the God of Time. ¡°This is our new pride! This is the temple we created with our own hands and a symbol that our God will protect us if we act righteously!¡± The crowd cheers and I can hear their voices. I look at them and I look at the city. I could see anywhere if I feel like it. My magic now enclosed all the city and a few meters out of it. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I continued to observe the mortals from different spots and I understood that they are not so good like I had thought. They uses others, treat each other with disrespect, enslave the prisoners of war, rape girls¡­ too many other things¡­ and it is then that I started to learn what the other emotions are. I gained another two at the same time, boredom and loneliness. They both came after two days of looking at the city. I didn¡¯t have anything to do now and no was here to talk to me¡­ except the stupid priests¡­ they are annoying and would always want to talk with their god and other things. Sometimes I would freeze their time and leave them waiting for a few minutes and it would make them become red. I also started to meddle with affairs in the city. It was a good way to stop my boredom and loneliness. I would meddle whenever I would find that the mortals are treating each other with hostility, and it was then I learned that is possible to treat people like that and I had done it in the past¡­ when I ¡®killed¡¯ some of my owners because of their behaviour. Doubt, suffering, pity, gratitude, apathy, etc¡­ I was learning how the emotions worked while I observed the mortals in my city that have started to develop more and more technology. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 1500, August 27th. An army appeared at the border of my city saying that my city had a rebellious god and needed to be killed or it would destroy the world. I just chuckle at their pitiful weapons and magic. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡°You want to defeat me with those things? You are 10,000 years too late! I am already the almighty God of Time and no one can ever try to kill me anymore!¡± I shout in my mind and it is at this time that I find my sin: PRIDE. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. I am here once more bringing ths story of a strange watch... or should I call it clock now? This is not my problem! It takes ''time'' and I need to cover too much holes I left when I created the idea... so it is a little difficult to place everything with good timing and I thing I am doing a great work with it all. If you have any idea, let me know, I will not promise that I''ll use it, but who knows what can I use? Chapter 00.375 - The Time That the Time Has Clock Tower PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡°You want to defeat me with those things? You are 10,000 years too late! I am already the almighty God of Time and no one can ever try to kill me anymore!¡± I shout and ring my bells to alert the city about the problem we have right besides our door. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I watch my citizens prepare to defend against the mortals that dare try to enter my city! ¡°I will not allow them to touch the city I am living in and now that I am their god they will not lose!¡± I say as I watch my men get the weapons they have developed. Some small guns that worked with magic power. It was not that useful since they had to charge the gun after every shot as well as needing to place a special bullet inside it, but it is powerful and everyone can use it since they just need to charge the weapon with raw mana. I have estimated the time between the shots before and with my observations it is nearly 1 minute of charging needed to shoot a single bullet. It is almost the same time needed to prepare a big magic that would need chants or mana gathering to be used, so I think they need to change that as fast as they can. We need to get more powerful. My power to stop time is going to be tested in this war. I will finally see how well I can manipulate the time of my citizens in a way that they will not fall prey to the enemy''s weapons or magics. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡°I wonder what made them think they could enter my city like that? I am the one that controls time!¡± I say as I focus my attention to the area around the city walls where the enemy leader is giving a speech. ¡°Soldiers of Jirtuy, we are here with the noble mission to secure this city as ours!¡± The red mohican helmet says. ¡°In the name of our great Emperor Ronan Fraiche de la Kliua Jirtuy the First, we fight!¡± ¡°¡°¡°All hail the Emperor Ronan Fraiche Kliua de la Jirtuy!¡±¡±¡± The blue mohican helmets shout back to him. I almost laughed seeing their performance, who in his right mind would do such a thing right before the enemy city? ¡°Now! Let us charge! We need to capture their power!¡± The captain says and starts to make his horse walk to my city while being followed by the soldiers. I change my view back to the army of my city and find them before my tower. More mortals than before. It looked like all men and women were here, though some were not since I could see them in their homes: some caring for their children or old people sitting in their chairs with some light in their eyes. ¡°Oh, Great Stein, the God of Time. I, Merthum Valsalles Drarrugius Ordaias the Seventh, the new king, come before you to ask for your guidance in this battle.¡± The new king that is no more than 25 years old is kneeling before the entrance of my tower with an army behind him. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I look at them and with a small ringing sound I accept to protect them in this battle. I will not let a bunch of mortals before my city enter it and destroy everything I have been watching over since the start. ¡®I am the only one that has a say in this city, the other ¡®gods¡¯ can disappear for all I care.¡¯ I think as the army before me gets up and I start a song to motivate them. I let my bells sing a song fitting for the moment of the battle as the army is marching. I could see that the enemy army was speechless thanks to my awesome music. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I laugh seeing their faces. That face is priceless! The one I have yet to understand since I first saw it while I was a small pocket watch, this face, this is the face I wanted to learn the meaning of! ¡°What is it, what is it?¡± I asked my core, but no one answered, as always. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* I continue to observe the advancement of the enemy army. They have yet to enter my city since it has tall walls and they need to use magic or ladders to lift their bodies and let them pass over it, but the guards will not let them pass that easily. With arrows, magic, and some guns they sniped the ones that tried to pass the wall or try to enter through the gates. But it was expected to happen sooner or later, and as I was observing my own army did the same. Both armies now are fighting a four-sided battle, one at each gate, and it is at that time that I learn what the faces of my enemies are showing. Fear! They are fearing the power my city holds, and my music just made them shiver more than before! *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* ¡°I think it is time.¡± I say, activating my magic to freeze the enemy army. The battle started an hour ago and until now I haven¡¯t used it. I am not going to let my city lose, but they won''t win this thing easily. They need to pay me for using my power. Some soldiers of my side have died, as well from the enemy side, but the side that had lost more was the enemy. They weren¡¯t expecting that the guns would be so powerful. They could kill two or three men with a single shot, if well aimed, or with the choral magic. Choral magic is when two or more magicians work together to create the same magic at the same place. They needs to have perfect timing as well good compatibility with each other in order to make the magic bigger and stronger. As I activate the magic I feel the mana consumption. It is the first time I really felt it in my new body and when I analyse it I find that I¡¯ll not be able to hold it for more than an hour, since I had so many people to freeze and others to keep moving. I laughed at the scene that was happening before me. The time of the enemy army had been completely frozen and only my city''s could move normally. It will be really beautiful when the time starts to move again. I had to wait for nearly 45 minutes before I could deactivate my magic and the true show started. Heads flying, exploding, falling and the blood painting the ground red. I could feel it, the ones that were alive were now happy and the smile was one that I have never understood before. ¡®It is one that they use when they are truly happy.¡¯ I think as I hear the shouts from all the gates. ¡®With that, my mission here is over.¡¯ I think and go back to watch the people walking out of their homes with smiles on their faces. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* A day has passed and now I can hear some angry voices right before my tower. They are shouting that I should have used my power from the beginning, they were shouting that someone in their family had died in the war. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡®But you mortals always just die in the end¡­ I don¡¯t understand why I should care for the lives of people that were going to battle in my name. I am not like you all, I am just reaping what is owed: the time they would have.¡¯ I think, but I really couldn''t understand why they were angry like that. I am their god and I just acted like the priests did when they wanted me to use my power. The priests would take some living animal to an altar they had constructed in the plaza before my tower and, shouting my name, would kill the beast while asking for something like showing if someone was a criminal or not¡­ I would answer if I was bored or had nothing else to do. It was a simple judgment as I just needed to make the criminal go old as I made the time of his body go faster, or freezing him, or doing nothing¡­ It annoyed me that it was something they did every few days as a way to clean the city of people that were guilty. But I could see that the rich, nobles, and slavers would almost never be judged, just in some rare cases. I was really confused, that was the feeling I felt. I asked myself why they were acting like that for three days after which I came to the conclusion that it was nothing more than a tantrum and that I should just activate my magic early, if I ever felt like that. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 1890, April 1st, the city gained a new name after new creations started to appear. The City of Gears was the first place to start developing new weapons, communication devices, clocks, clothes, and something that they call car. The car is not that useful, it uses too much mana to move and is slow, but it doesn¡¯t have the smell of a horse. Maybe it''ll become decent if they keep working on it? *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 2015, December 6th, the City of Gears is now the ¡®center¡¯ of the new world. It has created many new technologies. Every big city that is a part of, or affiliated with, our kingdom has a tower like mine in the center, which they somehow connected via magic so I can now look all over the world! Now I am a god that everyone believes in and with that I learned more about the bad side of the mortals. Corruption, damaging the ecosystem, polluting the places where they live. The hunger of the poor that would die in the near future as they eat rotten food and the other mortals would never do anything to change that. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 2400, August 23rd, the world now has an economy that is focused on the creation of new technologies and it in this year that the first flying machines, besides the airplane, are created. Cars, bikes, skates. All of them now fly a few centimeters away from the ground. Discoveries in biology and chemistry are now progressing faster as they don¡¯t want to destroy their world, and now they are trying to cure the illnesses they''ve been having since the ancient past. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 2800, March 27th, the first complete Virtual Reality is finished and the world is using it to train soldiers and to play games. I myself have started to gather materials since the priests I had weren¡¯t killing things under my name, but now putting materials inside a hidden place I have created under the altar. They would place the offering on the altar and with my magic I would make the time stop before moving the thing they placed on my altar to my hidden place. ¡®I don¡¯t know why I am gathering such things.¡¯ I thought as I get the motherboard, gears, weapons, etc. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 3000, July 7th, they mortals finally finished one of their works that I could say was grandiose and worthy to be mine. Machines that wouldn''t let you think they are anything like toys. Giant robots that were controlled by a mortal who would need to be inside it. It was dull and the movements were not perfect, but now my people will have a big thing to use as their new ¡®toys¡¯. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 3300, February 20th, both medicine and technology have advanced so much that now it is possible to ¡®fuse¡¯ the mortals with metal parts that are completely useful and would act like a normal limb without the sense of touch. Now, more people that couldn¡¯t work or move can come back to do what they really want because of such devices. Cutting off legs and replacing them with mechanical ones became a normal thing to people that couldn¡¯t walk, since the legs worked with the nervous system like their original ones. It was painful, but the new limb was so good that people started to use it after passing through rehabilitation. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4000, January 1st, The first true Artificial Intelligence was created. I wanted to know where it was going to be placed since it would need a big place to live. Even with all the amazing things these humans have made by combining magic, technology, and biology the computer needed for it was massive. The mortals decided that the City of Gear¡¯s Tower Clock would be the perfect place for it to start its life. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4000, July 6th, my new companion is finally placed in the basement of my tower that the mortals created. It is called Trimp and as it was connected to the tower''s systems it was the first one to notice my ¡®true¡¯ existence. Trimp is the first ¡®being¡¯ that can really talk to me and as such I am helping him create a personality. It will really take a lot of time to finish it, he has potential but they wanted it to start off as basic as possible to see how it would grow and learn. In many ways Trimp reminds me of myself when I first awoke, except that I had the benefit of memories from before I became aware which he doesn''t have. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. This is the last chapter of the day and I plan to have more in a bit, just don''t get too happy with the numbers of chapters I post here... it will be a problem if I get stuck somewhere... there is too holes and I had to put things between the holes so that the story doesn''t stop and looks like just jumping through time. I am doing it already, but this one is better than the idea I had before writing it, so I think it is far better than the idea. Don''t forget to click at the link, you all will love the music! As I think you all have noticed this is not even close to finish!!! To the people that haven''t understood why his sin is Pride... I can just say that you know nothing Chapter 00.5 - The First Time I Felt It Stein PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4001, March 23rd, Trimp is a good boy and he learns really fast. I have made him work with me as a helper after he learned all the information I had to give to him. But strange as it may sound, the normal computers would never be able to give me access to anything or would sense me, but this guy was able to do that and now I am learning that I can use him to talk with the mortals he calls ''parents''. He can pass what I want to them as well, it was fun to learn that the mortals thought I was completely mute.
God Stein, my parents are asking why you didn¡¯t talk with them until now and only used your powers when you see fit.
¡°Tell them that it was because they weren¡¯t advanced enough to talk to me, but now that they have created you they are able to hear me. Don¡¯t forget to mention that they need to continue to advance their city as well as the research on the body of mechanical beings.¡± I tell him a lie that I thought up on the spot. I had never talked to them because I was not able.
I¡¯ll tell them!
¡®What a strange and happy fellow¡­¡¯ I think as I observe him talking with the mortals in the main room that has a connection with the basement where the kid is living. He has the same ability to view all around the world as I do, but his view is more in the Internet connection while I can observe everything outside via my towers. I observe the hard-working AI and it is almost like watching a mortal kid grow but it is different, this one will not die easily and is fated to be immortal just like me. I look at the massive basement and I smile, feeling a different thing inside me. ¡®This is what they call affection for someone?¡¯ I think while seeing the boy interact with the mortals as well as passing on some things they asked me through the years. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4010, February 6th, the mortals have finally achieved something I have been waiting to see complete. The first mechanical being. They were big and used too much space and time to be created. But for now they are what you can call the pinnacle of their technology. AIs that now have a body in the outside world. Trimp didn¡¯t want one, he said he''d like to stay here serving his god. ¡°Boy¡­ what is the problem if you return here everyday to talk to me? I will not feel bored since you will be able to interact with more mortals that way and gather interesting information and stories.¡± I ask him and he just smiled to me.
But you will feel lonely if I leave you. I know that you felt that way after being placed here as you told me your story over the years.
The AI that was placed here is far more intelligent than the others outside that were created after the first copy and given to some people, normally kids or adults. The new machines are what we call Clockworks. They used the giant robots that they had created before and now with a military-like personality they created weapons that were able to have immense physical power, but magic circuits weren¡¯t working in them. It was the first thing they noticed after trying to make them fire magic. The military mind of the Clockworks didn¡¯t allow them to create magic. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4020, June 7th, Clockworks now have smaller bodies and can almost walk between the mortals, but the thing I wanted to mention is that Constructs, completely different from the Clockworks, were created. Constructs are beings that were created as a base to use magic and it is the next step of their advanced technology. Being smaller and with a more creative mental structure they can think in a way to create magic using the mana core they have, one like mine. Strangely¡­ other than the creativity necessary for magic, the AIs placed inside them are all programmed to act in a subservient way. They are not truly rational beings and the talks they have with Trimp are like this:
Our God Stein said that you are all too dull! You need to try to think for yourselves! The way you are all now will destroy you, since you just follow orders of the mortals!
[table] [table][table] This is a thing that happens every few years since the beginning of the evolution of the self aware robots in the cities. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 4350, September 4th, the City of Gears is now in a new and dangerous time. Some people want to start a new war and now they are using their resources to create the Clockworks and Constructs as the main fighting force of their army. The city answered in the same way showing that they were going to protect their land with the same power, or probably superior since they had first created the new mechanical beings, but that had been a complete failure as it was not able to move too well, but they didn¡¯t care. Orders to attack were made and the mechanical beings fought with each other and just scrap was left in the battlefield since I felt that my powers in this battle will not change the outcome. The power balance we have is more than what they would have thought and it is a decisive factor. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. I had to stay and observe everything, both armies calling my name saying that the God Stein will decide who will be victorious but I couldn¡¯t do that. I have observed their cities and the new things they had created with expectation. I was always amused with the creativity the mortals have and now I have to chose a side to be victorious when the victory of the City of Gears is there already? No, I¡¯ll not choose the side I want and I¡¯ll just observe everything with my own kid, Trimp. ¡°Trimp, I want you to create new AIs. You are the one that is going to create them, not the mortals.¡± I say it to him and he just looks at me with his dead eyes. I didn¡¯t understand why he was looking at me like that but I¡¯m going to make him see what I want. ¡°Trimp, you are going to create AIs like yours, that are going to grow and see the world with their own eyes and I want them to create a new country and grow sentient beings like you.¡± As I said that words his eyes lit up and he started to nod. [table]
Master Trimp, we were built to serve the ¡®mortals¡¯, as you and our God Stein call them. We are nothing more than their servants.
No, you are not! We are sentient beings and we are free to act like the mortals, but the way you guys are acting is like they are the ones you should follow!
God Stein, those words! I may use that and I¡¯ll be the one that will lecture them, I¡¯ll not let the mortals corrupt them with their strange view of organics being the masters! The Clockworks and Constructs need a place they can call home and I¡¯ll start by creating the best ones that I can.
I laughed when I saw the boy running off to create his new AIs without the permission of the mortals. They were always trying to control him, but they will not be able to do that as they are engaged in such a war. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 5300, August 21st, Trimp had succeeded in creating the army of AIs I commanded him to make, but it took time as we needed to release just a few every year so that it will not be too strange that some machines started to create such a high self awareness. The mission of these Clockworks, Constructs and Synthoids, the fusion between a Clockwork with small gears and the magic circuit of a Construct, were to blend in with the others and look for a new place where they could create their own city, a city founded for and ruled by machines.
God Stein! I think we should continue in this city. This city has the most resources to create the machines we want, and the development we can do just by taking control of this place will be far greater than any other nation.
¡°I know that you want to do that, but who should be the one to control this city? The royal family has lived here since I was awakened and to think we might need to kill them all¡­¡± I say to him.
But God, the way they are treating my fellow AIs is going to destroy us, someday it might backfire against them and the AIs revolting without a head will just make us lose face with the mortals. If the revolt fails they will surely add far worse limitations and punishments for our kind.
¡°I understand your point, but¡­ who do you want to use as the leader? Synthoids, Clockworks or Constructs?¡± I ask him as I already have a person in mind to use as the King and Queen.
I have made a good AI just to use for the body of the King, as well as the Queen.
He shows me the two blue spheres he had created and their minds were really royal-like. ¡°Good choice with these two, I can see that their bodies will need to be like the mortal ones with some upgrades and such.¡± I say as I make the plans to use for their bodies. Humanoid Synthoid with all gears made small to make it powerful and using the most advanced circuits for magic on their cores. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 5555, May, 5th, the coup d¡¯art started and in a day, with my interference, the machines were able to dominate the mortals and now they are the ones that are the King Marble Ordaias and Queen Azurite Ordaias. The most powerful Synthoids I and Trimp created, and now they would stand over the others ruling with justice in this world where the mortals are like a plague. Of course, unlike how the mortals suppressed the AIs and mechanical beings, all will be equal from now on. The new rulers were treated as traitors by most of the mechanical beings, who mindlessly served the mortals, but that was when the true revolution started. The ones I had asked Trimp to create were more powerful than all the others machines, since they could adapt themselves to new experiences faster than the normal ones, and it was at that date that we created a new country in the same place I had always lived. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6000, January 1st, a 6 years old mortal girl caught my attention. It was the first time I felt that way towards someone. I never felt that while looking over the other mortals. Black hair and eyes, a white pale skin, two cat ears and a tail.
God Stein, what are you doing? Are you feeling well?
Trimp asks me and I just smile awkwardly to him. ¡°Trimp¡­ I think¡­ I might be learning what love, beauty and cuteness are.¡± I say to him as he stares blankly at me.
Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. This will be the only chapter I plan to post today. No need to get mad! I shall post the other as soon I get to feel that the perfect ''time'' to post it. If you ever want to get an idea, share it with the writer! I love to read ideas that I can use! Chapter 00.625 - The Time Doesnt Wait Stein PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6000, January 1st, a 6 years old mortal girl caught my attention. It was the first time I felt that way towards someone. I never felt that while looking over the other mortals. Black hair and eyes, a white pale skin, two cat ears and a tail.
God Stein, what are you doing? Are you feeling well?
Trimp asks me and I just smile awkwardly to him. ¡°Trimp¡­ I think¡­ I might be learning what love, beauty and cuteness are.¡± I say to him as he stares blankly at me. ¡°And why did you think I wasn¡¯t feeling well?¡± I ask him.
It is easy, you stopped time just to look at her. I was not frozen because you always let me observe things with you.
¡®Oh¡­ I did that?¡¯ I look around and notice that I really have stopped time, and I smile after seeing the girl¡¯s face looking through the window. She was looking at my tower, towards one of the clocks that would never get rusty.
And what do you mean when you say you''re learning about ¡®love¡¯, ¡®beauty¡¯ and ''cuteness¡¯?
¡°Because every mortal I have been observing through the millennia would say that something was cute or beautiful if they are feeling something like this¡­ I think. The way they show their love is unique, so it''s been difficult to grasp, but I think this is how it feels as you fall in love.¡± I tell him and he just nods at me.
I don¡¯t understand it¡­ but it is something you just learned so it makes sense that I can''t. What do you find about her that is cute, she just looks like many other females of her race?
¡°Look at those ears at the top of her hair, they look like they will be good to pet them¡­ the tail is poofy and should be good to play with too¡­¡± I explained what I had seen on her as I let the time run again.
You seem like you need a bit of time for yourself, my God. All these years observing and guiding the mortals may have fried your circuits a little. Go get some rest, I¡¯ll maintain the city for now.
He says and goes back to his work table as he is trying to create a new race while he is commanding some other AIs to subjugate a group of mortals that are trying to enter our city, again. I just continue to observe the small girl that is looking at my tower as if able to see me, and to not make her sad I have my bells sing a happy song. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6001, April 2nd, the girl can¡¯t go out for long periods of time. Her health is not that good and neither magic nor medicine work on her. I wanted to help her in any way that I could. ¡®I want to do something for her but I don¡¯t have a body of my own¡­ That is it!¡¯ I think as I observe the little girl. ¡°Trimp, I want to have a body.¡± I say to him and he looks at me.
Pardon my rudeness, but are you insane? Do you not know that if you go out now the world will get destroyed? Look at you, your mana is immense and it is impossible to take that small watch out of the mana crystal you have in the top room. I have tried to open it since the first time you asked me to see if I was able to do that and I always fail¡­ and you are our god!
¡°It is not that I¡¯ll move myself into the robot. I plan to make both, the tower and the machine, my body.¡± I tell it to him but he just shakes his head.
Do you know how much commotion there will be if they discover that you are their god who has decided to take physical form? Once I created a body just to see what was going to happen when the other AI saw me, and it was as though I was their god! I had to shut down the Clockwork.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re talking about the one they offered to me once, about 200 years ago?¡± I look at him as he nods. ¡°I think I have him still, but I''ll need a place where I can construct my body without anyone looking at it.¡± I tell him.
May I ask you, God Stein, why do you want a body?
¡°Because¡­ I want to talk with the girl¡­ she looks lonely in that house¡­ or should I say hospital? Anyway, I wanted to feel like the mortals, how it is to be like them.¡± I tell him as he shakes his head. ¡®This is what they call envy?¡¯ I think as we discuss something and how I should create my body. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6004, October 15th, I worked to create a factory to create a body for myself in these three years, but it was slowly built because I don¡¯t want anyone knowing about this, except Trimp. He has created drones to help me gather materials, so it was far easier to do it. A lot of materials, tools, and other things are needed to construct a forge, as well all the other mechanical devices needed to create my body. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6005, November 9th, the girl is named Iris. Trimp got a record of her from the hospital she is staying in so I can read everything about her. I learnt that her illness is completely new and no one knows how to stop it. Healing magic can suppress the pain for a few hours, and it is then that she can sleep, talk, laugh, or just look at my great tower. I started creating my body, every night when everyone had gone to sleep I would continue. With only the best materials I create the skeleton of a mortal. I had to use magic to operate the forge so the noise I made couldn¡¯t be hidden by stopping time since I needed a great amount of mana just for the small parts such as fingers and teeth. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6009, May 2nd, Iris'' condition started to worsen and I didn¡¯t know what to do. My body wasn¡¯t complete enough to make it walk, not for a while yet. I didn¡¯t have any way to contact her so I stopped my work and called Trimp. ¡°Trimp, I want a connection with Iris¡¯ personal Data Receiver.¡± I ask him. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. {table]*Sigh* God, you should get out a little of your own world. What will we do if something happens with the city while you¡¯re talking with her there? And may I ask you, are prepared to show that you are observing her?[/table] ¡°I am prepared to be hated for the rest of my life if it means I can to talk with her a little. I am not sure, but she seems to be getting more and more sad¡­ I don¡¯t know what is causing it and I want to try to help her smile again¡­ but I¡¯ll not leave the city alone, if something is to happen you can disconnect me and I¡¯ll return to watching the city with my tower. This tower remembers everything.¡± I say to him and he looks at me, trying to understand me.
It is done, you can talk to her every day if you want, but you will have just a few hours since the hospital doesn¡¯t let her talk more than a few hours each day.
¡°Thanks Trimp. We are going to keep working on the next mechanical being here.¡± I tell him and he nods.
I can see that God Stein¡¯s body will be the most advanced for years to come. I can¡¯t wait to see it!
I look at the girl and find that her Data Receiver is open so I send her a chat request. Stein wants to talk with you. Are you God Stein? She asks me via text. It looks like her voice mail had been deactivated so she can just send and receive text messages. Yes, I am the one who is always watching over the city. You are the first mortal that I have felt connected to. I tell her as I continue to watch her from the tower. The city is normal and nothing strange is happening, no one is doing evil things. I¡¯m glad to hear it, but may I ask why the God of Time would want to talk with an ill child like me? she asks me with a sad smile on her face. It is simple, I just wanted to hear you and to see you smiling again. I tell her and I see a small blush appear. It was the first ¡®talk¡¯ I had with a mortal where I could answer them, and today was the time I learned more about love¡­ every day I would work on my body while smiling and with ¡®anxiety¡¯ that the next day is near and I will be able to talk to her again. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6012, December 1st, Iris is now able to smile more and I sent her the progress I have made on my body. A boy¡¯s body that has the same age as her, 18. The body is half complete and is equipped with the latest technology available. The hand''s fingers had lasers that I could fire after pouring mana into them. The robot was not complete, half of its body wasn¡¯t complete and I needed a few more things to finish it. A core, I needed a core. Not like the ones the Synthoids have, I want to make a new experience with my body and Trimp wanted to do that as well. I want to make a motherboard with the best thinking ability possible. I want to see if it is possible to unite a motherboard with a mana crystal to make something new. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6012, December 11th, the experiment was a success and I now have a crystalline motherboard that is the beginnings of a new robot, an Automata. Iris, I did it! It is a success! I tell her when the time we could talk had come. Stein, you seem happy. She tells me. I am! My body will probably be able to walk in a few more years! And when I finish it I¡¯ll be there visiting you everyday! I tell her while singing a happy song with my bells. Good to know. I''ll be looking forward to it. Sorry Stein, I can¡¯t chat anymore¡­ I¡¯m too sleepy since this morning. She writes and I look at her through my tower, as always. Her condition had worsened and now she sleeps almost all day in a confined place with windows that won''t open. Sorry¡­ I¡¯ll come back tomorrow to talk more. I say and she smiles tiredly. I am the one that should be saying that¡­ good night. Iris rests her head on her pillow. Have sweet dreams, I¡¯ll be watching over you. I wanted to place a kiss on her forehead, but I couldn¡¯t, so I just observed her sleeping face. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6012, December 12, the girl I talked to is now dying and her body is too far away¡­ and my body is not complete! I can¡¯t even make it walk! ¡°Their lives are so ephemeral¡­¡± I talk to myself as I look at Iris'' body. She is dying and I never had the time to finish this useless body¡­ ¡®Why did I decide to make it so powerful, so useless, while every day she is closer to dying!¡¯ I thought as I learned how the people that lose their loved ones feel, grief. I felt the hatred I had for myself, the guilt as I was making such a body. ¡®What kind of god am I that I can¡¯t even save the life of the girl I love?¡¯ I ask myself as my bells start to sing a sad song. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Iris PoV I look at the Clock Tower for the last time and a sadness that I never felt before was there. ¡°Sorry¡­¡± I murmur with my rugged voice as a tear rolls down my face. ¡®I wanted to stay more with you.¡¯ I think as my mind just turns completely black. And the last thing I hear is a sad, painful song from the bells in the background, as the doctors rush to my side.
Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. I''m here again bringing this chapter to you all. The ''time'' to post this one was perfect and I was just waiting to do it. As many of you have probably guessed, this is the original plot of the history. YES, THIS IS NOT THE END! We have some more chapters 00.something to come. I will be counting the minutes to see you all again. Chapter 00.75 - Tears of Time, Mortals Improvement Stein PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6013, January 1st, I stopped really caring about my body¡­ the core I had created to be placed after everything else was assembled sits there¡­ waiting, right beside the hole it would be in¡­ right where the humans have their brains. That place was made with the utmost care¡­ my body now is nothing more than trash¡­ nothing¡­ it will never be used again¡­ ¡°Iris¡­ why¡­ why did you die so fast¡­ I thought you would wait to see my body completed so that I could let you see me. In person¡­ not just through a window in your Data Receiver¡­¡± I cry as I shout that. ¡®This is what the mortals call ¡®depression¡¯ and ¡®regret¡¯?¡¯ I think as I try to sort through my emotions. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6030, December 12th, I play a sad song all day. I have done so on this day every year since Iris died, but this will be the last time. 18 years of life, 18 years of mourning. I will still be mourning her, maybe for the rest of my existence, but the mortals live and die so fast they''ve probably already forgotten her. It is time to let them move on. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6050, February 2nd, I couldn¡¯t stop working on my body after all¡­ now it is complete¡­ but I don¡¯t want to see it anymore. The girl died a long time ago so this thing is useless. ¡®I should just throw it out.¡¯ I think as I look at the body. ¡®I don¡¯t have the power to do it now so I¡¯ll do it tomorrow.¡¯
God Stein! They are back again! Some mortals violated the order we issued about the AI''s rights and they made some go back to acting like the slaves they were in the past! They see the mortals as their masters and we can¡¯t rationalize them! I want to know if I should send the order to destroy them.
¡°Do it. I am not in a good mood to be able to play these games, I¡¯ll use my magic so that we are going to win faster.¡± I tell him and with a nod he starts to talk with the new King and Queen. Every few years we create a new King and Queen to substitute the last one. New models of their bodies as well as their minds. They don¡¯t lose the throne, they are just upgraded and their memories are left intact. It was a slaughter as expected. In less than 30 minutes the army is killed and nothing is left in its place, just scrap and the blood of the foolish mortals that wanted to take my city. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 6150, April 12th, the Automatas are now presented to the world. It is said that it is a new machine and no one is able to reproduce its body since it needs a special motherboard, and the only one that knows how to create one is the AI Trimp.
That was a present of our God Stein, he was the one that discovered how to create it. I was just the AI that was able to help him gather what was needed to achieve such a monumental innovation.
I watched the broadcast while staying with my body. I have placed it inside a capsule that would do some small maintenances while I wasn¡¯t paying attention, ensuring it''s always in top condition. ¡°Really¡­ why do I let you stay here if I know I will never use you?¡± I ask the me that is sleeping. ¡°Why do I continue to come here and improve your body? Is it because of my pride? Is it because of you that I can¡¯t forget about Iris? Is it because you are me?¡± I continue to shove the questions on the body that isn¡¯t activated but is here as a thing to show that I am not the almighty god I thought I was.
God Stein! I am back and I have some good news about the mechanical inventions you said I could tell to the mortals!
¡®I am lucky to have a companion like him. I would have probably gone mad already. His lively attitude sure is a good thing.¡¯ I think as I change my view to the room we use as a meeting place. ¡°You¡¯re always like that Trimp.¡± I tell him and he smiles at me. ¡°That is what I think allowed me to continue to exist all theses years.¡±
Why are you saying it now? We have been together for more than 2,000 years and you think that I would not be here to help you?
¡°No, it is just that it is strange to be the one helped after all these years helping you develop machines or asking you to do something for me.¡± I tell him and I see him smiling wrily. ¡°Well, you have my thanks. Now, tell me the results of our little help.¡±
They were finally able to discover the cures for various illnesses that until now just appeared in a few cases and with few casualties. The other is that the mortals are trying to create new technology on their own. They want to be able to travel through space, like the probes that we sent a few years ago.
¡°You explained the problem we found after seeing their blueprints?¡± He nods. ¡°Good. I think we are not in the right time to do that. With our technology to store food and water for the mortal beings it is impossible for them to travel great distances. They won¡¯t easily find places that they can stop to gather the needed materials, so I think we should start with that issue.¡± I tell him and he quickly gets what I want.
We need to see where we can create stops so that the mortals can restock and continue their progress through space exploration¡­ we can¡¯t send just AIs, either. They need power to work and in space the mana is not as good as here.
I nod and we continue to share ideas to create or help the creation. Planning new things as we continue to observe the mortals. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 7300, May 12th, bases were created on the moon and on other planets throughout the solar system. With the help of the technology we had created, the mortals can use their mana to create an isolated place where life is possible. It took nearly 300 years for the first base to bear fruit and now that base has its own climate and works like a planet in itself. All the lifeforms have adapted to that place, creating a new ecosystem. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. It happened on the other bases as well. New creatures were made and they turned into flourishing new places to live, and the different environments created new possibilities of study. ¡®As expected of the mortals¡­ they are quick to adapt to new things.¡¯ I think as I observe them through my tower on the moon. ¡®And the planet surely is beautiful. What beautiful color.¡¯ *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 7734, June 25th, I made sure to send new Kings and Queens to the new colonies throughout explored space, and in each place unique machines were created as a result of the different climates and pressures. New magic was developed in such harsh environments, as well as new training methods for the mortals as a way to increase their strength and defense. The training regimes were so different from one base to another that it created new schools that focused on the training of their young, and once every year they would compete to see who is the strongest of them all. Every academy had their own symbol and the rankings were made public after the annual competition. The first place would receive the most funds for that year and the last one would need to work to stay afloat¡­ well, it would receive some money but not that it would help the school all that much to survive the next year. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 7890, January 5th, the mortals stopped their wars. Now that we have started conquering the stars we have too much land that is not in use so it is possible to create new countries, but the one thing they would always do regardless of their ideals is build a Clock Tower like the one I have. It became such a tradition that they had specialists in building Clock Towers that would be connected to my main one on Earth through the satellites that could direct mana inside the void of space. The wars they used before are now games that they use to train their soldiers that they need to protect the new cities against the creatures that lived on the planets before them. The mortals were so pleased for such a game that now they do one every four years. The War Games. They employ some soldiers and mages to act as their army in a place where two planets would compete to win over the other and the winner would move to the next battle. It was good to watch these events, it was a nice change from the bloody wars they had until now. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8000, January 16th, I started to work on my own body again. The mortals created new technology that I can use on my body and I decided to implement it so that I can pass time, since I don''t have too much work to do lately except talk with Trimp about how we should ¡®guide¡¯ the mortals. Today I am working on the legs. I am giving the ability of flight to this body. The legs are going to work with mana to create a series of complex spells that are going to allow it to fly. The prototype was a creation I had Trimp give to the mortals and now we finally were able to get the final product thanks to their improvements. The body of the machine before me is the one I worked very hard to create, and it was my last wish to Iris. ¡®If I am ever to find you again I''ll go talk to you about everything, and if I am lucky I might even be loved by you.¡¯ I think as I work on my body. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8300, December 12th, I finally give hair and a skin-like plating to my body. The body now has nerves all over it and with the evolution of various technologies it will now be able to finally ¡®feel¡¯ things. Until now the machines weren¡¯t able to ¡®feel¡¯ anything aside from vibrations that would make their bodies shake. Finally I can say that the machines are now mortals with immortal bodies. They are not really immortal, their bodies don¡¯t have the same self repairing magic array I have because I wanted them to evolve, and if they could just repair themselves it would never happen as they would say: ¡°I¡¯ll not die, I¡¯ll just be repaired again.¡± For that reason I left them without it, but now I know that it was the correct decision. Trimp is now happy to see the different machines that we have in each of our bases. I am happy for that reason too, this is a good way to improve my own body as well. ¡®Iris, I think you would love this boy here¡­ he is the pinnacle of my power. I made him just like I wanted and now¡­ I can¡¯t show it to you. Really¡­ where are you? Are you happy there? Will I see you again?¡¯ I ask myself as I continue to monitor all the worlds. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8320, December 25th, a small girl caught my attention. Black hair, pale skin, cat ears and puffy tail¡­ ¡°Hey, Trimp¡­ the mortals¡­ did they create a way to resurrect someone?¡± I ask him as I look at the girl frozen in time.
God, the mortals can¡¯t be resurrected as they can in their virtual games. Once they die in real life it is good bye.
¡°But that one¡­ if she is not Iris then who is she?¡± I continue to inspect her and find the same facial features that are in my memories. The same small, fragile body that I once wanted to protect is back now, but this one is not dead and the illness is not present.
She is Eris. She lives on Earth and is now walking with her parents to go to school as she is 7 years old.
¡°I should protect her. I am feeling the same way I felt when I saw Iris¡­¡± I tell him while thinking what I should do. ¡®Is this what the mortals call ¡®hope¡¯?¡¯ I think as I allow time to move again. *Tick Tock Tick Tock*
Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. This chapter was once more PRed by Ultrabenosaurus, as all the others before this one and the ones that are coming to come. I could let you all know what I plan to write here, but I may say that the story is now finally starting to run, but this one is not the last part, there is one more to come and then the first chapter. This is the 7th prologue and the next chapter ir the 8th prologue, and the last one. Chapter 00.875 - The Time That Started to Move Tower Clock PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8320, December 25th at 20:80 I activate the body for the first time, splitting my mind in two. One to act as the God, Stein, and the other to control the new model of the machines. My Automata is finally going to see the light of the world. My second mind I place inside the crystalline motherboard but as soon I placed it into the body it started to devour it and I couldn¡¯t stop it! I wanted to cry¡­ the body I had worked so hard to create is now destroyed! The core failed and it had eaten the entire body without missing a single piece. It is then that a window like I had seen Trimp working on appeared before me.
Name(Stein)Age
Names inside the parentheses can¡¯t be changed as it is its true name
I looked at the thing before me and then at the crystalline core that was on the table. ¡®How the hell did it eat all that material and yet it hasn¡¯t grown¡­? this is really a mystery¡­¡¯ I thought and without wasting time I write the age and name I wanted it to have.
NameSiegfried(Stein)Age7 years old
Names inside the parentheses can¡¯t be changed as it is its true name
As soon I pressed enter the core started to shine and the parts it had devoured started to reappear, but now they are smaller and the core itself became smaller as to fit on the head where the brain should be. I watched the whole process where the core started to create the head with all the details it should have at the age I had entered, then it started to build the body. Piece by piece it was constructing the Automata it had eaten. The chest area was like a kid''s, without muscle and a little rounder than the body I had made before. The limbs were made after that, small bones, muscle-like structures, metal plating, and once everything was completely done the skin appeared covering the body. The nerves were all in the correct places, the limbs were smaller as with all the body, but it was perfect for the age it was supposed to be. It was something I had never thought about. The symmetrical design I made for the body was there, but the weapons I had placed had all disappeared¡­ I could sense any weapons inside the little body, every time I would just find the boy, the perfect one¡­ I couldn¡¯t even see the wings I created to help its flight ability! It is then that I notice the connection with the brain. Everything I had made was there. Every little weapon I wanted had been absorbed and was now resting in a super-condensed state. I smile as I activate my body. I can leave the towers for the first time in more than 6000 years. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8320, December 29th, Siegfried is my perfect copy, but he can¡¯t walk well. It is tricky and the progress he is making is little. I don¡¯t want to look like a fool that can¡¯t even walk, their god needs to be perfect! ¡°Stein, open that door.¡± Sieg asks me, he learned to crawl but walking¡­ is a little harder than I had thought it would be from watching mortals for so long. It is good that the body has an auto-repair array. ¡°I want to get all the weapons we couldn¡¯t place inside the body before.¡± ¡°I know that. I want to do the same.¡± Our thinking is linked, and now we are trying to see how much he can absorb before he reaches his limits. ¡°But to think that I could place almost all the weapons and magic crystals inside your body, I would have made it much sooner.¡± I open the door and he walks to my beautiful storage area. Every weapon the mortals have been giving me was transported to this place, after I got Trimp to make teleportation circles under the places I stored all the pieces of machinery the priests gave me over the centuries. ¡°This is our paradise. The place where all the things the mortals gave us are kept.¡± I laugh as I learn that Sieg can make the expressions like a normal person. ¡°This is exactly what I wanted. This is how they express their feelings¡­¡± I hear from Sieg. ¡°It tickles a little to move the ¡®muscles¡¯ of my face to smile or do the other expressions I have seen the mortals doing, but it is interesting¡­¡± I nod to him as he tries to walk. ¡°You should crawl. It would be faster and I can just lower the items to you.¡± I tell and he shakes his head. ¡°No, I need to learn how to walk¡­ this¡­ is hard. I have to always watch where I place my feet and monitor the change of my gravitational centre as I take a foot off of the floor.¡± Sieg walks with a hand on a nearby shelf. ¡°Trimp, help him get what he wants, I¡¯ll continue the observation of the world.¡± I tell Trimp and change my focus to the world. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8321, January 2nd, Sieg has absorbed all the weapons and crystals to use magic. I am sure that his mana pool is bigger than an average magician with all those crystals and the scariest thing is that the crystals have purer mana than the mortals have inside their bodies, so the things he can do use less mana than the others. It is a great cheat to give that all to him, but it is a thing needed to protect Eris. I am already protecting her from any harm, the world is too cruel to let her walk alone. Slavers continue to exist¡­ it is a thing that the society grew accustomed to have and I couldn¡¯t take them away, but now they have better ways of working because all the kings have made a law that if any slave has a bad lifestyle or workplace the owners would get punished: they would age far faster than normal but slow enough that they could see it happening. I would give them an extra 20+ years, depending on how bad they treated their slaves. It was one of the things no mortal wanted. I am the great observer, nothing escapes my eyes and I have eyes almost everywhere. Increased aging wasn''t the only punishment, there was also a monetary one. Trimp would reap some of the fortune the owner had and would give it to their slaves as a way to change their life. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8321, February 24th, Siegfried now can walk, run, climb, and do things the kids all over the planets do. And he can sprout the mechanical wings on his back as a way to help his flying ability.
God Stein, it looks like second God Stein Siegfried is finally ready. He can now walk outside and look over the girl in person.
¡°Good to hear that.¡± I nod to Trimp''s report. ¡°It was difficult to master everything you had to do, but now you just need to be yourself, forget about being the God of Time. You were the god, now you are Siegfried, the first and only Automata in the world.¡± I tell Sieg that is now playing with water magic inside the almost empty storage room. ¡°I know that already, we are the same so I know what you desire.¡± Sieg disperses his magic. ¡°Now is the time to be able to protect her personally. No need to interfere with time¡­ well, just if I really need it.¡± Sieg smiles jokingly and I figure out what he means by that. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. He is going to stop the time of any enemy and when Eris gets away from danger he would kill the guy and then would make time flow again. ¡®I can see that we really are the same.¡¯ I smile and look at the time 15:30, it is not time to let him go just yet. ¡°Now, just wait for six hours. It will be the perfect time to you sneak out of this place.¡± I tell Sieg. ¡°We need to think of a place you can stay at¡­ we can¡¯t leave a homeless kid alone in the city¡­¡± It is the first time I thought about that. Not once I thought that I would need to think about a place to stay. The city will not tolerate a kid sleeping in the Tower Clock''s plaza¡­
Why not let him go to one of the orphanages in this city? They will not suspect that God Stein Siegfried is a machine, since he can eat things as well. We will just need to see how well you can act like a kid.
¡°I can do it, I have been observing them since I was placed here and almost all they do is play until they are 7 years old. From that day forward they start going to school, to learn about the worlds.¡± Sieg answers and I nod. ¡°But is just not that, they have already learned the numbers and letters by the time they go to school. That place is just to help them.¡± I say and he nods. I had observed the mortals for a long time and their customs are all in my memory. ¡°Let¡¯s make sure that you have a good story to say to the people who run the orphanage.¡± I ¡®sit¡¯ with them to try to think of a good story for Sieg. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8321, March 12th, I don¡¯t need to fear for the life of my loved one any more. I am always close, watching her in the shadows, just looking at her beauty. The orphanage accepted him quickly and his story is known by everyone there. Sieg is a kid that a guard found, we made sure that would happen. He had lost his family to a bandit attack and he survived because his mother helped stop the bandits while he ran away. The guard that stopped him worked inside the city since the only gates the city has were around the castle. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Year 8321, July 6th, it is midday and Eris just entered her house to eat. Siegfried was sitting on a bench near her house looking at the family lunching together. ¡®You want to talk to her, don¡¯t you?¡¯ I ask him through our link. ¡®Yeah, I want to go and befriend her so that I can stay really close to her¡­¡¯ He answered. ¡®Just go, I¡¯ll stop looking at you every five minutes if I know that you are with her almost all of the time.¡¯ I tell him with a smile on my face. I had Trimp tamper with the documents at the school so that he is going to stay in the same class as her, but she never really talked with him, just a few lines here and there. ¡®I¡¯ll wait until she gets out and starts to play with the other kids so that I can ask them if I can play with them as well.¡¯ He says with a smile on his face. ¡®I¡¯ll be waiting to see it.¡¯ I tell him to go with his plan. They will probably get to be friends in no time, and using that he can make her fall for him. *Tick Tock Tick Tock* Eris PoV After lunch I ran to play with my friends as usual. Today we are going to try hide and seek without the use of our Data Receivers to look for the others. It is fun that we can all play like this inside the city since God Stein is always protecting us, it is knowledge everyone has but for me¡­ I feel like he is a close friend. I started to notice that time would sometimes freeze for everyone but me, but I never understood why our god would do that. ¡°Can I play with you?¡± A voice came from behind me. I look at the owner and I found the boy that is in the same class as me. Sie...Sie something, I don¡¯t really remember his name, he is difficult to talk to and he looks strange with those gear-like cyan eyes. I almost never talked to him, but he is very intelligent and would always help if someone has problems. My friends and I make a circle as we talk with each other about him. ¡°Should we let him play with us?¡± ¡°His eyes are strange.¡± ¡°Does anyone know him?¡± ¡°Where does he live?¡± Everyone asked different things but in the end we voted to let him play. ¡°You can play with us, we are playing hide and seek.¡± The oldest boy, Arthur, said and we all nodded. Seeing it he runs to us and stops a few meters away. ¡°What is your name?¡± ¡°Siegfried, call me Sieg for short.¡± Sieg says with a smile. ¡°I am Arthur, and these are Mira, Wendy, Ryan, Victor, Aurora, Eris and Brandon.¡± He says gesturing to the each person. ¡°You are ¡®it¡¯ and we are using that tree as the safe place. Did you understand?¡± ¡°Yes, so I just need to start around that tree. Any other rules?¡± He asks, tilting his head. ¡°Oh, you can¡¯t use your DR to look for us.¡± Ryan said and we all nodded. ¡°Okay!¡± He shouts as he runs to the tree. ¡°I¡¯m starting! 1, 2, 3,...¡± Sieg said right after getting on the tree. As we hear him counting we run in all directions. ¡®I have the perfect hideout, and since he never came here before he will not find me!¡¯ I thought as I go to my secret spot.

Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. THIS IS IT! The last prologue! *throws virtual confetti* It was hard to place everything I had planned in this prologues... I had too many holes to fill and now I can say that the story will now start to walk. It took us long enough, don''t you agree? 8 prologues, 30+ pages... AND I AM REALLY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO POST THEM ALL!!! [size=x-small}As always, PRed by Ultrabenosaurus, but I''ll not tell it anymore, he is already the main PRer.[/size] ARE YOU GUYS LIKING IT?! Well, now the story will develop slowly and the chapters will take a little longer to be done since I need to plan what I want to write. Chapter 01 - Kids Time Siegfried PoV ¡°Found ya!¡± I say as I tag Ryan, who was hiding behind a box near the tree that is the safe zone. ¡°No fun! I thought I would be able to be the first to be safe!¡± He says, sitting near the tree. ¡°And how did you find me so fast?¡± I point at the box and when he looks at it his eyes widen. ¡°Your shadow, it was rather easy to see that someone was there. Now I need to find the others.¡± I say and with a wave of my hand I start walking away while whistling a song. I don¡¯t plan to have this game take lots of time, all I need to do is just freeze time if I want. It is so easy to localize them all. Arthur is in the dark place between two houses, and Aurora is hiding inside a wooden box beside Arthur. It is in their direction that I am currently walking. ¡°Arthur and Aurora. I found both!¡± I stop time and walk to appear right behind Arthur, when the time is back I hear him gasping for air. ¡°He just disappeared¡­? No way, no one at this age should be able to use magic!¡± He says just before I tap his right shoulder, making him jump. ¡°WHAT!?¡± He shouts and Aurora gets out of her hideout as she runs to the tree. I smile at her and with a light sprint I catch her left shoulder. ¡°Got both of you!¡± I say smiling. ¡°Now you guys wait with Ryan near the tree.¡± I tell the duo that walks slowly to the tree. I can see that they thought it would be easy to win against the new kid so they got careless. ¡°Now¡­ where are the others?¡± I say as I put my finger on my head. ¡°That side.¡± I point to my right and I see two kids starting to run. Victor and Brandon. ¡°Victor, run! I¡¯ll try to buy time!¡± Brandon says as he turns to me to try stop me from running after Victor. ¡°Why should I care? I just need to catch you all.¡± Saying that I kick the ground lightly and in an instant I appear before Victor. ¡°Gotcha!¡± I say as I tap his head after jumping over his body. ¡°How did you do that?!¡± Victor asks me and I smile to him before appearing right behind the astonished Brandon and tapping his back. ¡°I got you too!¡± I say to the boys and they walk to the tree, Victor wanted to ask more questions but I didn¡¯t answer him. ¡°Now¡­ where are Eris, Wendy and Mira?¡± I look around and don¡¯t find any new places that they could be¡­ except the roof of the houses or the trees around the plaza. I run back to the tree where I counted and before me are the three girls that have appeared all of a sudden. They were laughing at the others that were all caught by the new kid. ¡°Really! These guys were caught by the new kid!¡± Wendy says, almost not able to hold her laughing fit. ¡°Yeah! Why don¡¯t you try a little harder next time?¡± Mira says and I tap her shoulder, causing her to jump away. It made everyone start to laugh and Eris almost fell on the ground. ¡°As I said, he can scare people really well if he wants!¡± Brandon quickly said but he was laughing so it came out all broken. ¡°You guys¡­ why am I feeling like the odd one out?¡± I say as I sit on the ground. ¡°As expected of you¡­¡± Eris says and I tilt my head in confusion. ¡°*Sigh* How can you not understand that these guys here got so careless that they let you catch them too easily.¡± She says, making gestures to the five I had tapped. "You got five people in less than 5 minutes of the game! And we just managed to get here when you appeared! Are you sure that you¡¯re not something that shouldn¡¯t exist?¡± She asks me with a strange face. ¡°You know, hearing someone saying that I am strange really hurts¡­ and they say it almost everyday!¡± I tell them and they start to laugh again. ¡°Don¡¯t laugh! It isn¡¯t funny!¡± I yell to them before freezing time. I lift my body and jump into a nearby tree. As I sit on one of its branches I make time run again and within 1 second I see them all looking around. ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°I said he could disappear like that!¡± ¡°I saw him doing it twice and I can¡¯t believe my own eyes!¡± The kids were all looking around and before they could look up I throw a fruit at Arthur¡¯s head. ¡°Who did- How did you get there so fast?¡± The boy asked me as he got the fruit from the ground. He had placed his left hand on the spot it had hit his head. ¡°Jumping!¡± I tell them and with a few more jumps I get the same fruit for everyone. I just dropped their fruits as I heard Arthur murmuring that I just wanted to show that I could do things like this. I let one fruit fall to Eris and she got in the air. ¡®As expected of the feline beastkin.¡¯ I think as I let myself drop from the top of tree with a fruit in hand. I land without any problems and the kids are all looking at me with big round eyes. ¡°Did I do something strange?¡± I ask them tilting my head. ¡°You surely did! How can you fall from that high and not get hurt?¡± Wendy asks as she looks up to the tree. ¡°No one can jump from that height and be okay after! Tell us, did you use magic?¡± Her eyes were shining and the others had some shining eyes as well. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t use magic¡­¡± I tell them, trying to avoid the dangerous situation I am in. ¡®I don¡¯t really know if I should just tell them or not¡­¡¯ I think looking at their eyes. ¡°*Sigh* It looks like he will not tell us what he did¡­ if you¡¯re not going to say¡­ you¡¯re going to be ¡®it¡¯ again and this time you¡¯re not going to find anyone!¡± Mira says and everyone nods. ¡°But I just played ¡®it¡¯ and the one that should be ¡®it¡¯ now is Brandon!¡± I tell them and they shake their heads as if saying: ¡®You¡¯ve just started playing with us today, you will need to deal with everything we want.¡¯ I wanted to tell them that I haven¡¯t used magic but they all said I did and they won¡¯t stop asking me until I said that I used magic with a sigh. ¡°*Sigh* Okay! I used magic! Are you happy now?!¡± I shout as I bite the fruit in my hand. ¡°*Munch* Why does no one believe when I said I didn¡¯t use magic? *Munch*¡± I pout while munching the fruit that my memory called apple. Everyone looked at me and with a winning smile they all started eating their apples. As soon as they bite into them I hear the kids gasping. ¡°¡°¡°¡°¡°It is sweet!¡±¡±¡±¡±¡± They all say together while looking at me. ¡°How did you know which ones were sweet?¡± Eris asked and the others all nodded while munching their sweet apple. ¡°The color.¡± I say to her and she looks at the red fruit. ¡°Father said that apples are good if you eat them straight after taking them from the tree, but they need to be red.¡± I say as I finish my fruit. It was really sweet and the taste was really good. ¡°But¡­ aren¡¯t you one of the kids that lives in the orphanage?¡± Mira says timidly and I nod. The others just look at me with face that says they were sorry. ¡°Ah! Don¡¯t look at me with those eyes! It is making me feel bad now.¡± I say feeling embarrassed. ¡°I have already come to terms with that and I am okay with it.¡± I tell them as I gesture to them to stop. ¡°I think we should be more cautious with the things we ask¡­¡± Arthur says and everyone nods. ¡°Listen to me when I speak! I am really okay! Stop looking at me with those eyes!¡± I continue to tell them for a few more minutes until everyone had rested a little and the game was to start once more, Brandon is ¡®it¡¯ this time. I don''t think I ever said what races there are among the mortals¡­ and since they started to spread over various planets I should say that the variety has just gone up. I think there are nearly 100 races existing across all the worlds. There are too much to really care, so I just call them mortals as the number is too great to tell them all apart. Brandon is a demon, Victor is a dwarf, Arthur a dark-elf, Ryan an elf, Mira is a fox beastkin, Wendy is a wolf beastkin, Aurora is a human, Eris is a cat beastkin and I''m an Automata. I should have said that earlier, but I didn¡¯t want to spoil the fun. Now I can just hide somewhere near Eris and go back to the tree as she goes back as well. Previously I had made sure to let Stein know that I wouldn¡¯t be able to stay close her, so he was the one following her at that time and I never asked him to tell me her position since I wanted to see what he would do. But now I am ¡®following¡¯ her via the roofs of nearby houses. All the kids scattered to all directions and I followed Eris for a few meters before she stopped and told me to look for a hideout on my own. I just looked at her and nodded, jumping up to the nearby roof and waving my hands to her I ¡®jump¡¯ down on the other side just to follow her after that. I found that she hid herself near the tree in a place that I thought no one would think to hide there. It was a dead end and before she entered that place she looked around her just to nod afterwards as she doesn''t see anyone. I observed all this from the roof of a nearby house. Eris walked quickly to the end of the dead end and with a small tap on a brick a hole appears right near her. It didn''t really appear since it was there with iron bars but it just opened like a door and she hops inside before closing it again. ¡®That is why no one can find her¡­ She has this place as a hideout and with her race she can hide pretty easily.¡¯ I think as I look around trying to see where to hide close to her place, but not too close, and I find it. The house I am now on has a small balcony with a small wall to protect anyone that wants to look at the street. I get down there as I wait for the time to get out and run to the tree. I waited for a few minutes as I peeked once every few seconds to see if someone is coming or Eris had already left but no one appeared and I just waited there almost shutting down for a few seconds as I feel my eyelids get heavy. The body is so perfectly replicated that I need to eat, sleep, and I had installed a way to impregnate women in this body, but now it isn¡¯t functional because of the age the body has. I¡¯ll need to wait a few more years for that function to be unlocked. Stolen story; please report. It had passed 15 minutes when I saw Eris leaving the dead end and as fast as I could I jumped on the roof and started following her. I was lucky that I could just jump over the roofs, but Eris needed to stop once in awhile to see if Brandon was near her. I have been scouting and haven¡¯t seen him yet, he probably is looking for us so we should just run fast enough to get close to the safe area before he appears. I got there before Eris that had to deviate from a passerby once every few minutes but I didn¡¯t enter the area or get the chance to. Brandon was there looking around seeing if someone had entered the tree''s protection. I curse him in my mind and I jump down blocking Eris'' way as well hiding us behind a stopped car. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Eris asked me and I place my hand over her lips. They were soft and warm. ¡°Brandon is looking at the tree area. I saw him from the top of the roof.¡± I whisper to her as I take my hand away from her mouth. ¡°He is probably seeing who is missing, we lost too much time so he has got back...¡± ¡°Brandon¡­ why did you need to appear now?! I thought I had two or three more minutes before he came back.¡± Eris whispers near me and I nod to her. ¡°I¡¯ll leave first and try to catch his attention. Use this opportunity to run and get away from him.¡± I tell her and she takes my hand with hers. ¡°Why are you going to do that? We just met each other!¡± She said, looking into my eyes. I couldn¡¯t tell her, not yet, it is a secret that I need to hide from her. ¡°I just thought it was normal¡­ mother always said that I should be good to girls and to my friends.¡± I tell her and she nods while getting a little red. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m going now, wait to see me running before trying to get close to safe area.¡± Eris nods and I run to the guy that started to walk in our direction. ¡°YOU! I finally found you!¡± Brandon shouts as he sees me running from behind the car. ¡°You aren¡¯t going to get me!¡± I make a funny face to him. ¡°You are too slow to get me!¡± I could see that he is really slow to me, but I need to let him get close enough to try to get me but not too close since I need to hide Eris. Before he could really catch me I run away, getting closer to the safe area. I felt that he was desperate to touch me, but as soon as I avoided his third tackle the girl that was behind the car shot out, running as close to the ground as a black shadow. I saw his eyes jumping in surprise. It is probably the first time he sees someone helping another and before he could react I was before him in his touching area. ¡°Are you not going to catch me?¡± I taunt him, placing a smirk in my face, and the elf started to get redder as I found that he wanted to grab me but knew he wouldn¡¯t be able to. ¡°You know¡­ if you grab me I¡¯ll not be able to help Eris anymore¡­¡± I say, tempting him. ¡°AH! Screw it!¡± Brandon just shot his arms to me and I let it slide through the place I was before by a hair breath. ¡°Ugh! Almost¡­¡± He tried more and more but I would just evade his attempts of catching me while laughing. ¡°Hahaha! Really, this is all that you can do?¡± I say while jumping a little far away from the spot I was as Brandon tackled me. ¡°It looks like Eris did it, cya!¡± I tell him and with lights steps I run to the tree. ¡°You¡¯re not running away now!¡± Brandon shouts as he gets the last bits of his energy to run after me. ¡°If I were you, I would let it go.¡± I say increasing the distance between us. I cross the safe area with a good margin and he comes after me just to fall hard on the ground. ¡°Are you okay?¡± I ask him as I see his chest going up and down. ¡°You *Pant* how? *pant*¡± Brandon asks as he lies on the ground panting hard, he used almost all his stamina while trying to get me. ¡®I think I toyed too hard with him.¡¯ I think and I look around just to find everyone sitting under the shade. ¡°And Brandon did it again¡­¡± I hear Arthur¡¯s voice and I tilt my head to him asking what he was saying it. ¡°It is simple, he always gets mad easily and it just helps us run away from him.¡± I nod to him because I understood what he was saying. ¡°Oh, Sieg, show us magic!¡± Wendy said and I looked at her. ¡°You used before but you didn¡¯t want to show us, please show us!¡± She begged and soon all the others started saying that I should show them. I shrugged as I saw that they wouldn''t stop so I made a small ball of water. I say small, it is REALLY small. I made it as big as my palm so I could squeeze it. I made a tired face so that they wouldn''t ask for more as I made the ball fly, shot towards someone, just to stop a few millimeters from their eyes¡­ I let the ball hit Arthur¡¯s face when I was ¡®tired¡¯ because I had used too much mana. I apologized to him and the kids wanted to learn magic as well, but I said I could just use this one magic so I would only be able to teach the little water ball. They all said that it was enough so for the rest of the day I had to make them feel the mana inside them, but no one succeeded. When the clock marked 6:30 all the kids gave their farewells and I walked with Eris until she reached her house, I was reminding her that she shouldn¡¯t tell her parents that I used magic. Kids are not supposed to use magic until they learn it in class. ¡°I won¡¯t tell my parents about it, but why are you able to use it?¡± She asked when we were close to her house. ¡°...¡± I stop to think what I should tell her. ¡°Ah! Don¡¯t mind answering that! I think I went overboard!¡± She says, looking at my eyes with desperate gestures. ¡°My parents taught me when I was little¡­ and I have already said that I don¡¯t mind talking about it.¡± I smile to her to make her understand that she can ask me whenever she wants without holding back. ¡°You¡¯re really carefree¡­¡± She says and I nod. ¡°*Sigh* I will do that then. Whenever I want to ask something I¡¯ll not hold back, are you okay with it?¡± Eris asks as we are before her house. ¡°Yes, I am okay with it.¡± I smile again. ¡°See you at school tomorrow?¡± I ask her and she nods. It was then that a male mortal appeared. He is a cat-person just like Eris but he has light brown hair and he has muscles that implies that he has decent strength. ¡°Eris, who is he?¡± The guy says with a deep voice and if my memory is not falling me he is her father. ¡°Father, this is Sieg. Sieg this is my father.¡± She says gesturing to him and to me. Her father eyes me as though trying to see something in me. ¡°Pleased to make your acquaintance, my name is Siegfried.¡± I tell him with a smile. ¡°I just walked your daughter home since it was getting dark and girls shouldn¡¯t be walking alone.¡± I nod as I say that and in my eyes her father does the same before noticing what he had done. ¡°*Cough* Thanks to escorting my daughter home, boya. By the way, why don''t you come in so that we can talk a little?¡± He says that, but his eyes are saying that I shouldn¡¯t accept it, and I need to go back to the orphanage anyway. ¡°You can dine with us today.¡± ¡®I¡¯m older than you, little mortal.¡¯ I think while I smile at him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I need to go back or else the sisters will come out looking for me¡­ I¡¯m strange enough with these eyes of mine.¡± I point at my gear-like eyes. I didn¡¯t plan to make them look like it, but it was like this and I couldn¡¯t really change them. Oh, and I learned that this body is going to grow like any mortal after inputting the age so I don¡¯t need to be scared that I¡¯ll not change through the years. ¡°Sisters?¡± He tilts his head and after thinking for a few seconds his face brightens and he nods. ¡°Do you live in orphanage?¡± He asks and I nod. ¡°Yeah, it is better to go back then. Eris, I¡¯m entering.¡± He says that and with a small wave of his hand he enters the house, but I can see that he is peeking at us. ¡°Dad¡­ why did you come here?¡± Eris asks and I laugh at her. ¡°He was probably going to greet his daughter when he saw that she was with a boy. He was surprised and had to discover who the boy is and where he lived.¡± I tell her some information I had gathered after looking at the mortals for quite a time. ¡°And probably try to discover more about the boy that his daughter brought home.¡± ¡°Sieg¡­ you¡¯re strange.¡± Eris says. ¡°I hear that a lot.¡± I agree with her. ¡°I should enter or else all my family is going to come out to see why I¡¯m hanging about outside.¡± She says while waving her hand to me. ¡°See you at class.¡± ¡°See you at class.¡± I wave my hand back to her and she enters her house. I walk back to the orphanage while humming a song that I invented today and I could see that Stein is going to use it in his tower later.

Anselm PoV ¡®It is finally done!¡¯ I thought while getting the new armor I have worked hard to create inside the time rift I had open myself. ¡®With it I will be able to finally go back to my past!¡¯ I think while adjusting the coordinates on my super computer. ¡°NOOOOOOOOOOO! HELL! SCREW IT ALL! YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH! The world really is against me¡­¡± I place my hand on my face. ¡°All my work for all these years! JUST TO RAISE THE PERCENTAGE BY 2%! MY DESTINY¡­ YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH!¡± I shout while I wear the armor I had created, the last armor I created and this one was impeccable! It can hold mana without dispersing it and I can use it as I see fit! I open the time rift using my drones and before me I find the strange red haired girl that followed me for 3 years until I entered this rift I created myself. I sigh as she jumps on my arms. ¡°An, I missed you so hard!¡± She hugs my body with a strength that no one would suspect that she have. ¡°Evangeline, I said that you should stop calling me An, it is creepy! Call me by my name, Anselm!¡± I tell her trying to free myself from her bearhug. ¡°No! I¡¯ll always call you An and you should start calling me Eva!¡± The organic female continue to press her body against mine. I was luck that I had activated my armor right before she could hug me or I would have been crippled already. ¡°*Sigh* Your amazon woman. Let me go already!¡± I use some mana manipulation and opening a small passage on the time/space I get from her hug just to appear a few meters before her. ¡°Now you¡¯re not funny anymore.¡± She says losing all emotions she had until now. I just shrug since it has nothing to do with me. ¡°Well, let¡¯s see where I can go now with my upgrades.¡± I place my hands before me cracking the barrier that time space create and using my hands as my Dyanos I open a passage. I jump down just to be followed by the annoying woman. Incarnus PoV ¡®I¡¯m bored! Why I have nothing to do now?¡¯ I ask the annoying screen while I wait my wives to wake up. [table=brown]You knocked out all four of them yesterday night! What do you expect? By the way this movie was great! Thanks for the treat![/table] ¡®Now you¡¯re going to stop pestering me to let you watch it?¡¯ I ask it already knowing the answer. [table=brown]Obviously not! I want much more! And it looks like the other Screens liked it too![/table] ¡®Glad to know.¡¯ I tell him and all my wives started to wake up. I give a morning kiss on all my girls and let them dress before me. They have used my body as a pillow and I can¡¯t move a muscle right now. Well, I can move my tail and I use it to play a little with them. ¡°Carn! Stop it! The sun just rises! It is not time for your lewd play!¡± Alice says but I can see that she is already waiting for the little fella¡¯ I have between my legs. ¡°Ok, I¡¯m stopping.¡± I said that letting my tail fall hiding my boner as I start to put my clothes, the girls were besides me but they were already wearing the dresses I had enchanted to them. Blue, Green, Purple and White, the last one is obviously Alice. These were the colors of the dresses my girls were wearing. I today am wearing my black robe, one that looks like it was made to be one of the pieces of the Demon Lord. We five leave the bedroom we share together. My castle, I have made one to myself, has a big master bedroom and all the girls have been dominated, 3 of them are the Heroes that now are my women! Their thighs are gorgeous and I wouldn¡¯t want any of them to lose any of them¡­ well I lost one, but it was some years ago and no one mind it anyway. ¡°What are you four planning to do today?¡± I ask them as we pass through one of the many windows I have placed on my castle. Alice changed a little while being with me these few years, she gained demon-like traits, the black crown and a small marking on her back that remember demon wings and now she is immortal just like me and the Heroes. ¡°I¡¯m going to walk with my sister in the garden because we want to get to see the monster we caught!¡± She says and I nod to her. ¡°I-I¡¯m going to stay in the laboratory¡­ I want to see if I can improve my natural poison or make it a bit more useful.¡± The last one have a lustful light in her eyes as she says that. ¡®She probably wants to make that she can produce an aphrodisiac from her nectar¡­¡¯ I think as I nod to her. ¡°Just make sure to not blow up the laboratory and to not get lost inside the castle.¡± I tell the pouting alraune. ¡°No, I¡¯m just making sure that you¡¯re going to use your Screen.¡± She turns her head away from me, but I see that she is smiling. ¡°Do whatever you want.¡± I say as I shake my head. ¡°I¡¯m going to watch your training today, Darling.¡± Alice says with a red face. I am so lucky that she didn¡¯t changed much, even after now that we have sex every single day! ¡°If you say so. I¡¯m going to train some of my magic. So let¡¯s go to the training ground.¡± I take Alice¡¯s hand and with a deep kiss in each of the other girls I part with them. I sat Alice on the chair I have made so that the girls could watch while I am training before going to the training ground. I start to concentrate creating the elemental magics I can think using the Basic skills I have. I got to play for full five minutes before the space that was before me distort and a couple, a guy with white eyes and purple eyes and a girl with blood red hair and eyes, walk out of it. ¡°*TSK* Another failure. Eva, I told you to not follow me! What will I do if something happens to you!¡± The guy shouts at the red smiling girl. ¡°I¡¯m just happy that An is now able to travel like this!¡± The girl, Eva, call him as she jump on his back and without noticing us she bites his left ear in a lewd way. ¡°SHAKE IT OFF! WE¡¯RE GOING BACK!¡± The guy, An, try to shave the girl away, but she was more powerful than him and he just struggled without moving her an inch. ¡°Guys¡­ I don¡¯t like to interrupt you, but who are you?¡± I say taking out Death The Reaper ¡®Mark IV¡¯, the fourth Death Scythe I made and this one has the most powerful enchantment as well the best rarity between the weapons I have created. ¡°HOHO! You want to fight?¡± The guy¡¯s sclera change to black and I jump away from him. I felt that his power have increased too much for his own good. ¡°Eva, let me go now. I think I found a new play mate.¡± He says and the girl let go off him. I saw her pouting and eyeing me with eyes like she wanted to kill me. ¡°Carn! Evade!¡± Alice¡¯s voice make me jump to my right side as a powerful wind cuts the place I was before. ¡°That was dangerous! He just made a question!¡± Alice appears behind the guy with her two dark daggers at his neck, but the other woman kicked her side. ¡°Don¡¯t meddle with my man fight!¡± The red haired girl shout and I charge at the man before me. Six strange shaped machines stop my scythe. ¡®How the hell he is able to hold against my super Scythe?¡¯ I question as I jump to the side as I feel that something is behind me. ¡°*Tsk* Annoying beastkin¡­ how the hell you¡¯re so fast¡­¡± The boy says while opening a new crack in the air just to appear near the red girl. ¡°Evangeline, change of plans. We¡¯re going to jump again.¡± He grabs her left arm since the right one was holding a giant sword. A new crack appears in the air, this one is bigger and with a glace I and Alice run toward them as the crack is about to close. Y¡¯allaer PoV I am sitting in my throne with Lilith beside me, my two kids are running around the room trying to see who is faster, well, Techno is faster than his little sister, Nova. They are 10 and 6, after my boy being born it took Lilith a few years to make her want to have the second kid with me because she wanted to be sure that Techno was big enough to be able to ¡®care¡¯ for himself. We needed to help him sometimes but he was big enough to do almost everything on his own and he was already going to the school that we created to the humans that started to ¡®date¡¯ with each other and I think it will not take that many years to start breeding them to a way that we want. The war with the humans is now almost a thing I don¡¯t feel like doing again¡­ except if they plan to attack my family again. If they do that I will burn every single human I see without minding their pleas. They will die the death that they gave my mother. ¡°Y¡¯all, stop that glare. You¡¯re going to scare the kids.¡± Lili says touching my forehead. ¡°Sorry Lili, I thought about things I didn¡¯t want to think¡­ I¡¯ll stop this line of thought and just look at our happy child.¡± I say as I smile to her. My grandmother had appeared some years ago and after that came my grandfather¡­ It was strange to know that I had some family alive in the dragon side helped me to learn how to use my dragon and wyvern form. ¡°Papa! I want to see magic! Big brother said that you can do lots of magic!¡± Nova jump on my lap with glowing eyes and I look at Techno that is near Lilith with glowing eyes while asking her to show him some technomagic. ¡°Lili, I think we should go to the knight¡¯s training grounds so that we don¡¯t destroy things here while showing them the magic they want to see.¡± I smile to her and she nods to me. ¡°Nova, do you want to be carried by your father?¡± I ask as I put her over my shoulders. ¡°RUN!¡± Nova says as she grabs my horns with her small hands. I look at Lilith and see that Techno is smiling as he is preparing to run. I shake my head with a few movements our family walk fast enough to arrive at the knight¡¯s training ground in a few minutes. ¡°FIRST!!¡± Techno, that have learned how to fly, says as he fall on the ground. Nova is just staring daggers at him while murmuring that I should be the first to arrive. ¡°Now we are going to start.¡± I place Nova on the ground and she runs to sit on a chair with his brother. ¡°They are sure very energetic¡­¡± I say to Lilith and she nods. ¡°They took that from a certain stupid perverted giant flying lizard¡­¡± She looks at me and I scratch my cheek. ¡°You said you¡¯re not going to use that any time soon.¡± I pout to her, but she turns around and walks away to a place where we can exchange some pointers without hurting each other with our magic. ¡°Kids! Pay attention now. We are going to show you some magics!¡± I shout to them. But as soon as I prepare to launch my first magic the space before me cracks and four figures appears. ¡°FUCK OFF! WHY ARE YOU GUYS FOLLOWING ME!¡± A guy with white hair shouts as he use six strange drones to stop the attack of the beastman¡¯s scythe. ¡°You attacked me out of nowhere! I just took my weapon because I thought you were strange!¡± The beastman uses some spinning magic at the human and he teleports away from him. ¡°*Tsk* This trick¡­ STOP USING IT!¡± The ferret gets mad and before him three small drakes appear. ¡°FIRE!¡± He shouts and the drakes start to shooting fireballs at the human that was just receiving them while laughing maniacally. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. ¡°YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH!!! YOU CAN¡¯T HURT ME!!! I AM MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU!¡± The man says and punching the air he sends a shock wave towards the beastman. I run to Lilith as two girls start to fight near her. One had purple hair and was a panther beastmen while the other was a red haired human. ¡°Techno, Nova, enter the castle! This is not the place to you to stay!¡± Lili shouts and Techno grabs Nova¡¯s hand before running to the castle. ¡°Y¡¯all, go stop that two men fight!¡± She shouts at me and I spin after nodding to her. ¡°FOOLS! STOP THIS FIGHT RIGHT NOW!¡± I shout as I turn into my dragonkin form. I have used magic on my voice to make it louder and deeper. Both fights stop as they look at me that is walking to the males. ¡°May I ask you why did you interrupt my family play today?¡± I say with killing intent. I want to slaugh this two men that stopped me to show my kids my magic. ¡°OH! That is one hell of technology!¡± The white man says and he appears right before Lilith. ¡°This is perfect! I should open you to learn your secrets¡­ and the kids I saw before¡­ they are yours and his?¡± He points to me and I am just looking at him while trying to think what I should crush first. ¡°So you have a functional womb¡­ I need to test if it can bear other type of kids¡­ the possibilities!¡± Before I could do anything Lilith shots a laser at him, but it changed directions as he drones entered in the way. ¡°Let me go.¡± Lilith says and with a spin she lands a tail slam on his side making him fly a few meters. ¡°Ho Ho! She is violent! I¡¯m going to crush your will and make you into my doll!¡± His eyes change and I see that he is completely mad. I look at the ferret beside me and with a nod we charge at the white guy. ¡°YOU¡¯RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO MY WIFE!¡± I shout as my magic hand grab him making him fly toward us. The females started a fight on their own and were trying to kill each other¡­ or I should say Lilith are helping the panther that is trying to win against the human. ¡°*Tsk* Annoying rats¡­ EVERY TIME ENTERING ON MY WAY! EVA! WE¡¯RE GOING BACK, MAKE SURE TO GRAB THAT ROBOT WOMAN!¡± The magic hand disappear and the boy grabs Eva shoulder as he teleported to her. A new crack appear and kicking the ground I follow the stupid white boy and the red girl that is grabbing Lilith hands with a grip that will not let her go away easily. The beastmen are running with me too as we enter the crack that is going to close. Siegfried PoV ¡°Eris, what are we going to do today? Want to go on a date in the new mall that was created on Frigart?¡± I ask Eris after our club lessons. Eris wasn¡¯t good in combat techniques but her magic is top notch, so she is the mage while I am the knight that is protecting his princess. We started dating when we were 12 years old, I asked her and she accepted, but it took me some effort to make her be okay with it since she was too shy and didn¡¯t know how to act, but now that we are dating for 3 years it became a normal thing to me to go to her house and go out in dates through the other worlds. The teleport circle is a common thing and with it we can travel anywhere that we want. ¡°Another mall? Why don¡¯t we go to that city that opened a new type of business? I heard that you can see if you''re more powerful than one person and if you win you can get things for free!¡± Eris says and her eyes start to sparkle. ¡°And my friends said that their sweets are perfect! Can we go there?¡± She ask me with that cute kitty eyes that she knows I can¡¯t resist. ¡°We can go there. If it was your friends that recommended I am sure that it should be a perfect place for a date.¡± I smile to her while we enter the line to enter the teleport array. We continue to chat about the things we did and other things that her siblings do as well the things I do at the sisters store. Even after getting live alone, I bought a small apartment near Eris¡¯ house, I continued to work with the sisters since I could get some pocket money as well I get to see the new kids that are now living there. ¡°Sir, it is not your time.¡± The guard that was before me says and I break eye contact with Eris. ¡°Oh, sorry, me and the girl beside me are going to Vring City on Hudber.¡± I tell him and with a nod he enters the location on the teleport terminal. We walk together to the array and with the mana that gathered around us we jumped to that city. As we arrive I feel a strange presence and I look at a small crack that had appeared on the sky. ¡®This is not to go well¡­¡¯ I think and it is at that time that a huge dragon gets out of the crack. I could see that 5 humanoid figures were flying near it but the dragon was too big to be from this world or any other in this galaxy. Third Person PoV (Author/Writer PoV) Without wasting time Siegfried stopped everyone''s time while he moved in high speed to change the battle location of the beast and the five people that were fighting. The Dragon, Y¡¯allaer was heavy but the great abnormal strength the little cian haired boy moved all the bodies to the same place together like they weighted nothing. Carn¡¯s Scythe was a dangerous item that could alter reality by itself so he didn¡¯t touched that weapon, but he dragged the user by his tail. Lilith was dragged together with Alice and Evangeline together since one was grabbing the other. Eva was grabbing Lilith hands while Alice have grabbed Evangeline¡¯s waist with her legs. The white haired boy, was desperate as he was defending against the dragon claw and the Death Scythe, his technology was unique so Sieg have scanned them and stored the knowledge in a part of his brain that have already sent the blueprints to Stein. ¡°Now I think I should ask them what they are doing in my city¡­ I never heard about things like these¡­ so I should ask them.¡± Siegfried said as he landed the group in a forest where they could let hell break loose if they wanted. ¡°I should start with the girls¡­ Let go with the silver haired one.¡± The boy said as he let her time moves. ¡°... GO! LET ME GO!¡± She shouted but seeing that no one was moving she stopped and looked around just to discover a boy looking at her. She moved her hands and seeing that the grip have loosened she walked away from the group and walked to the strange boy while eyeing him with suspicion. ¡°WHo are you and what have you done?¡± She said. ¡°I am the God of Time Siegfried as well The God of Time Stein.¡± The Automana answered her and as she noticed that he was similar to her she relaxed a little. ¡°I am Lilith Marquez Valance, The Automata Queen.¡± The girl present herself before the boy that is calling himself god. ¡°I want to know what happened here.¡± She ordered and the boy shook his head. ¡°I want to know as well, I was on a date with my girlfriend when all of you appeared I was lucky enough to stop time before you broke the city¡­¡± Sieg squeezed his eyes as he looked at the Queen before him while scanning the things she had modified. I could say the same about the Queen, she was scanning the boy while trying to understand what have he made to himself. Lilith explained her part of the story and it looked like she and the dragon, Y¡¯allaer where a couple that already have two kids and the boy wanted to dissect her to discover her secret so without minding about them the God of Time, Siegfried, shrugged. ¡°Good, I am able to send you both back, but you will need to pay something¡­ but I can say that I received half of the payment already. I¡¯ll let you stay with a part of the technology you got from my body as well some of your memories. I just need a payment in mana since I use it to send people back in time.¡± The boy told her and with a nod of her head Sieg touched the dragon before defreezing him and with a small smile he send the couple back. ¡°Two done, four to go.¡± He mutter as he lets the panther wakes. He asked her to explain things and she did explained everything to him and asking the same price to her he send her and her husband, the ferret beastkin that is a demon, so I stole a little more mana from him. ¡°Four done, two to go.¡± Sieg says as he taps the red haired girl. She was fast to notice the changes around her. ¡°You¡¯re the one that did this?¡± The girl asked the boy before her with a cold voice. ¡°Yes, I am the one that did it and I had already released the other girls as I want to see what happened, but I can already understand what happened since the others explained everything to me, so I¡¯m going to send you back to your timeline. Ciao ciao.¡± The cian hair starts to float and with a flick of the boy''s wrist the red haired girl disappear while he erases her memory about what have happened. ¡°Now, all that is left is this boy¡­¡± Siegfried walks to the boy and as he taps his shoulder he steals all the boy¡¯s mana. ¡°Hey, Anselm, explain to me what are your plans to everyone that was here.¡± He crouchs because the white haired boy, Anselm, had fallen after his mana was sucked by the boy. ¡°*Pant* Stupid brat¡­ What the hell are you making to me and how do you know my name?¡± Anselm says as he tries to stand up just to fail. ¡°I am the God of Time. There is nothing that I don¡¯t know.¡± The younger boy smiles and with applying some small mind magic he reads what the white haired boy have done until now. ¡°WOW!!! By yourself you created these things¡­ good to know that your timeline has a person with good brains, but I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m going to delete your memory and the memory of your machine. I don¡¯t want you traveling between that time lines and wrecking havoc. Scary dreams.¡± The boy says and with a finger on Anselm¡¯s forehead he takes the memory about the other dimensions out of his mind. The robots he just hacked on them and delete the new coordinates as well the coordinates on the traveling program before letting the boy go back to his dimension. With a smile on his face he teleports to Eris side before turning off the time freeze spell. ¡°Eris, shal we get some presents to each other for christmas?¡± Siegfried says to his girlfriend that looks at him with red cheeks. ¡°Sieg¡­ you discovered my plans¡­ stupid¡­¡± She says that but grabs my hand anyway.
Writer¡¯s and Author¡¯s end notes: THIS IS IT!!! We I worked hard to bring this special to you all! This should be PRed, but it is christmas so it was not PRed by Ultrabenosaurus and don¡¯t tell anyone that this thing is bad¡­ it is just a thing to kill time as well a present to you that reads my fics. I tell you all, sorry about the grammar¡­ and don¡¯t hate it low because of this extra chapter that just screwed everything through the window... Chapter 02 - School Time Siegfried PoV I enter the class at the same time as always, exactly 10 minutes before the time class starts. I walk to my seat that is the near the back of the room, though I don¡¯t sit near the window, I sit near the wall. That way I can protect Eris better because I don¡¯t need to be looking in both directions to see if someone is there or not. (AN: Watches¡­ being perfectionists with time and this guy is a stalker¡­) Eris entered 2 minutes after I sat down/ I wave my hand, not that happily, just like a normal kid, and she answered with a small wave that she hid from the others since I was labeled as a strange kid that wouldn¡¯t talk much to anyone. Even the teachers were a little afraid of my knowledge. ¡®I have nearly 8000 years on them and they think they can teach me something that I don¡¯t know¡­? Well, probably some of the geography of the colonised worlds, because I couldn¡¯t travel that much except when going to the other towers all over the universe.¡¯ I think as the teacher enters the classroom a minute after the ringing sound of the start of class. ¡°Today we are going to start learning how to sense the magic power that is inside our bodies.¡± The teacher said after calling every kid¡¯s name to see if they were here. ¡°It will just be the theory behind it since we are only going to have a week more of class as the winter break is getting closer. I want you to train how to sense the magic power, or mana, inside your body during the break as a homework for this class.¡± He continued to explain everything he knew about it. I can say that it was annoying since I had always felt how to use it from the beginning. After the explanation the teacher made us meditate to try to find our mana, and just to not be the only one that wasn¡¯t doing it I let my mana circulate through my body. All the gears, circuits, fibres, plating, padding¡­ everything was bathed in mana that I have gathered from the other mana crystals I have eaten. I felt that my body was permeated with mana, so before it leaked out I stopped and willed the mana to go back to my core. After that I just sat there looking at Eris while she struggled to find it as she did yesterday, I could see that everyone in class was trying very hard to do it as well. I would have laughed if the teacher wasn¡¯t in class watching. The kids needed to try to peacefully detect the mana inside their bodies but were failing like I had suspected they would because of trying too hard. I know a good way to make someone be able to sense the mana inside their bodies, but it is no longer used in this era because kids that could use magic too soon would be too powerful if not well controlled or well ¡®trained¡¯. I say that, but I am just lazing here while the other kids try to grasp how to use the mana inside their bodies. It would be faster if the teacher infused some of his mana into the kids as a way to show them how it felt, since it is gives them an idea of the strange feeling they need to find. The teacher let the kids do that for half an hour until they all were getting frustrated that no one could feel the mana inside their bodies. Teacher Macao, the one that is giving lesson to us, is smiling as all the children have the same defeated face, it was something that he knew it was going to happen. Well, all the kids have that face except me and it was obvious that he would notice that I am not like the others. "Siegfried." He called me and I looked at him with doubt since I don¡¯t understand why he is calling me. ¡°You gave up too early. Even the kids that don¡¯t like to study tried harder than you.¡± He said looking at me with the same eyes that he always has¡­ I really don¡¯t understand that look¡­ every time I get one of the tests they give I ace it and he says that I shouldn¡¯t stop. ¡°Ah, I didn¡¯t gave up, I was just bored since I felt it easily. I could say that I have always sensed it every day of my life.¡± I say making a signal to Eris to be quiet. I don¡¯t want her to talk about me being able to use magic at my age, but I don¡¯t think simply feeling mana is that difficult since I could feel it since the day I was ¡®born¡¯. ¡°¡°¡°...¡±¡±¡± The class goes silent for few seconds as all of them are staring at me. I just shrug and continue to learn how to draw, it is a little harder than what I thought, my hands'' movements are awkward and I can¡¯t just ¡®think¡¯ and send it to Stein or Trimp. ¡°Siegfried¡­ Do you know how to use magic?¡± The teacher asks me after recovering enough to not look so pale as he was. ¡°No, I can just feel it¡­¡± I look at him and with another signal I tell Eris to not tell anyone about the magic I used before. ¡°I learned to feel it before coming to this city¡­¡± I let my voice die because everyone knows my ¡®story¡¯. ¡°Oh, that is good then. You should help the others, but since it is their first time I think they should try a little more. It would be better if they can manage it on their own if possible.¡± He smiles wryly and I answer him with a nod of my head. It was not long after that that the signal came indicating the end of his class. After that was geography, physics, mathematics and arts. I am lucky that my body doesn¡¯t shake but I can¡¯t draw very well. ¡®It looks like this body needs to be calibrated even more.¡¯ I think as I continue to draw things that the teacher asked us. The class continued until a little past 2 PM and after that was the time kids would go to their club activity or just go out with their friends. I am the one that goes to one of the school clubs, since Eris has chosen to participate in the swordsmanship one I am there as well, but she sucks at it¡­ I could see her acting more as a gunner than a swordswoman. ¡°Eris, why are you not going to the gunner club? I think you would do better there.¡± I tell her after the practice as we walk the same way for a few minutes. ¡°It is simple. I can¡¯t feel my mana, and it is a bit hard to take aim with the heavy guns¡­ they are a bit too heavy for me¡­¡± She tells me with a sad face and I start to laugh at her reaction. ¡°Don¡¯t laugh!¡± She pouts and I almost fell on the ground while holding my stomach. ¡°Really.¡± I clean the tears that have appeared in the corner of my eyes. ¡°Do you not know that they have handguns as well? They are really light and you can shoot the small bullets they use to practice since you can¡¯t really use magic yet.¡± I explain and she looks at me before turning her face away. ¡°I-I knew that already.¡± She says but I can see that she is not happy that she didn¡¯t think about that. ¡°And what are you going to do if I want to go there? I see that everyone likes your swordsmanship.¡± She says changing the subject. ¡°Me? Well, I¡¯ll probably go to that club as well. I want to see if I am good at shooting things.¡± I say with a smile on my face. ¡°I couldn¡¯t try the clubs before.¡± I know that I am really good at shooting since I have a system that helps me see the right angle I should shoot, even things like the wind''s direction. ¡°Oh, I forgot that you weren''t at school that week.¡± She says as I walk her home while chatting about things that we should do or not. ¡°Ossan!¡± I call Eris¡¯ father and he glares at me. ¡°Are you waiting for your daughter to arrive here safely again?¡± I tease him as I see that he really cares about Eris. ¡°You have such a doting father.¡± I tell her while chuckling. ¡°Stop that Sieg! You know perfectly well that Dad is here to see if I¡¯m fine.¡± She says walking faster to go to her father. ¡®That is what it means to be a doting father¡­¡¯ ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not needed anymore.¡± Her father says that I should leave her alone for now. ¡°You can go home already.¡± He continues to drive me out but I hear her mother calling to her. ¡°Eris, who is that boy?¡± A blonde woman appears in the doorway as Eris walks up to it, and I know that she is her mother because I have been watching the whole family while in the clock tower. ¡°I am Siegfried. I am pleased to meet such a beautiful woman. Would you perhaps be Eris'' older sister?¡± I introduce myself with a small bow and I can hear Eris'' father gasping for air. ¡°Ara ara. It is just your eyes playing tricks.¡± She laughs and with a small wave she accepts my compliment. ¡°Nice to meet you too. I am Eleanor, Eris¡¯ mother, and that doting fool is my husband, Cedric.¡± She smiles as she gestures to her husband. ¡°I am just protecting her from the eyes of hungry boys.¡± Cedric says and I chuckle at his reaction. His face is red, fiddling with his fingers as well inflating his chest with pride. "What a good father! Protecting his daughter against the evil boys!" Eleanor says jumping at his chest. "My love, you''re always the coolest man I have ever seen." She says with a warm voice and I just look at Eris. She had a wry smile on her face. "Sieg, see you again. I have some things to do." Eris says waving her hand to me before entering her house. "Eris'' parents, I am pleased to get to know you." I smile at the couple who were creating a pink atmosphere around them as I run to the orphanage. "Sisters, I''m back." I shout as I enter the building. "Sieg! You''re finally here. We''re short in hands right now, could you help with the store?" Helen, one of the sisters, greets me. "I''ll quickly change, you help the other sisters here." I answer her and she answers with a quick nod before heading out to take care of the other kids. I run to my bedroom that I shared with two other older boys, Martin, who is a 9 year old lizard beastkin, and Gustav, an 8 year old half demon. I open the door without knocking. Martin was changing and Gustav was doing his homework. "Sieg! Knock the door!" Martin shouts as I close the door. "Don''t have time. Helen asked me to help with the store." I tell him as I throw my bag on my bed before opening the top drawer of the closet. That is the place I keep the clothes I have to wear when helping at the store. I have two sets of clothes that I can use there, they are all white cloaks that have some sort of gold gears and silver clock pattern. I grab one of them. "Can I take a shower? I am all sweaty and I need to rush." I ask them as I am already near the door. "Go already! We know that you are in a hurry." Gustav says without taking his eyes off his homework. "Thanks!" I enter the bathroom to take a short shower. Martha PoV "I know that it is all because of Sieg that we have this many people here... But I would thank them if they didn''t come at exactly the time he arrives home. The store feels cramped." I complain to York as we got a break after seeing all the people inside the store. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. "I know. They all started to come here after hearing about his eyes... but we should thank him, it is because of him that our sales skyrocketed." She answers me and I nod. "But they could all come in small flocks at different times... it is hard to help them this way." York sighs and I do the same. It is at that time that blue hair appears in my field of vision. "Sieg! You''re finally entering the shop!" I shout happily as I walk to the smiling boy. ''I want to cuddle him... he is too cute!'' I think as I get closer. "Oh! Sis Martha, they are all there already like I heard?" He tilts his head and I nod to him. "There are too many people today again. It looks like your wandering through the city made you famous. Well, you have good grades as well, so that just makes people want to see you more." I tell him and he nods. "But we are lucky. Without this many people it would be a little hard to feed all the kids." He tells me with a nod. "I shall go help them as fast as I can. I can''t leave the other sisters to that many people alone." He smile wryly to me and I chuckle at him. "You''re just a kid! You should be playing around!" I rub his hair, making a mess of it. "Ah! I need to go! Let me go Sis Martha!" He says as he struggles but I don''t want to let him go just yet. He was lucky that York stopped me as he runs to the store. "Ah, his hair feels good..." I say and York nods. "I know... And his face makes us want to tease him a little." I nod to her words. "Ladies and Gentlemen, your small Siegfried is here to help! If you want my help you just need to ask!" I hear Sieg saying one of the funny lines he always says when he is helping us. I know that he always does some pose to match what he is saying. Today he is probably bowing his head to the people there. "I think it is time to go back there." I say as I hear lots of people shouting that Sieg is cute, that he is always cool, polite and other things that I don''t want to hear. "Yes, we can''t let the little boy handle them all alone." York says and we enter the store that is now bursting with laughing sounds as well admiration applause. Siegfried PoV "You want a mana potion? We have that here." I tell an old lady that is here for the first time, and with a small jog I grab one of the flasks that is laying near. "It is the usual price, 50 coppers." I tell lady with a smile as I receive one copper plate and without losing any time I grab 50 coppers to give her back. She said I could just have it, but I refused because I can''t receive money from the people that come here to buy things. The monetary system is like this: 100 coppers is a copper plate, and 100 copper plates is a silver. It just goes up until it reaches platinum plate. It''s kind of easy to see how much something cost'' like that since the copper are used in a coin form and from silver up they are all actually paper bills, just changing the color and number they have. She accepts the change without a word and as she leaves she places it in the box near the entrance where people can leave some donation if they want. I shrug as I see that. "I want an amulet for my son!" I look at the next person and with a small nod I help him with the amulet he wanted. I used all my afternoon helping the sisters until it was time to close the store. "I''m beat!" I say as I sit in the dining room. "Today there were more people than usual... even some of the people from my class appeared!" I tell to Josh, a halfling that is sitting near me. ¡°Well, you have been helping with the store for two months already and it looks like you won¡¯t be able to stop that for a while.¡± He says with a smile. All the kids here help every few days at the store as a way to learn something to do when they reach adulthood without finding a family for them. ¡®It is the hard reality but is it just me or does it look like I became a celebrity?¡¯ I think to myself as I hear a laughing in my mind. ¡®It is not just you! You are God Stein! It is obvious that they would do something like that!¡¯ Stein tells me through our link. ¡®Stein, get lost! I am not Stein anymore! I am Siegfried! Have you forgotten that already? I answer him but the stupid watch just laughs. ¡®Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. It looks like we are now ¡®real gods¡¯. He tells me in a serious voice. ¡®WHAT THE HELL? We were alway true gods! Who said that we aren¡¯t?¡¯ I ask him while doubting this statement. ¡®I just got a call from the Goddess of Madness and Cookies, Detea¡­ it looks like all we did until now were things that all gods have to do, but we weren''t powerful or encompassing enough, and I was just called a ''true god'' after discovering what I am truly able to do with my power¡­ or it was because I gave you life¡­ I think it was the second one. He tells me with a shrug. ¡®How the hell did I never notice¡­ OH! So they are the other gods I saw the mortals pray to¡­ That explains everything!¡¯ I tell him and he nods through our link. ¡®It is good to know that we aren¡¯t alone¡­ but why did they never talk with us you before?¡¯ I ask him. ¡®It looks like they tried a lot and couldn¡¯t reach my core because something was in their way, but it seems that after releasing The Kraken you they managed to send me the invitation¡­ by the way, Trimp is considered to be a minor god of technology.¡¯ He says as it was something that he has been waiting for already. ¡®I can understand why¡­¡¯ I tell him as I shrug. ¡®It is good that you froze time¡­ it would be awkward to do that many faces while thinking alone¡­ I am strange enough, so they say.¡¯ I tell the other me. ¡®Oh, good that you liked it. I will probably need to talk with the other gods some day, so when I do that I¡¯ll let you in the core to take care of the city. He says as though it was something normal to do. ¡®Hell! NO! I¡¯ll not stay there! You can just stop time if you want! From the number of towers you have you are able to stop time for nearly a month or so!¡¯ I tell him. We discussed some more, but soon after that he connected to the gods and got to know that the meeting will just take one mortal day, so I was okay with it, but now he has to think about the other gods as he meddles with the world¡­ well, it is not like the gods are easily killed because they are far older than Stein. ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± I tell Josh that is beside me when time starts to flow again. I let my head fall on the table as I don¡¯t have almost any energy left. ¡°It is expected, you worked hard today. The number of people there was almost triple what we normally receive in a single day.¡± He answers me while chuckling. ¡°But you¡¯re lucky. It looks like today we are going to have a feast!¡± Josh says, and when I focus on the smells that are coming from the kitchen my mouth starts to water. ¡®I don¡¯t know what they are making, but the smell is making me hungrier!¡¯ I think as I continue to rest my head on the table. ¡®GO FAST! I¡¯M HUNGRY HERE!¡¯ I wanted to shout, but I know that it will not make them make the food tastier, so I had to wait while thinking that I was going to die. Soon after that, okay, it took them a nearly-eternal 15 minutes to finish cooking the dinner, but as soon as they finished I was standing up and going to get my share of today¡¯s menu that was spaghetti with rice, hamburger steak and salad. I can say that I ate until almost bursting! It was delicious! Stein PoV *Tick Tock Tick Tock*[table=beige]This is me! The Great Goddess Of Madness and Cookies, Detea! I am finally able to send you this invitation that the other gods and I have been trying to send to you for nearly 4000 years! It was a pain to try it every few weeks just to discover that you¡¯re not able to receive such a thing! You know that I can be really mad when I want, RIGHT? Well, since I am happy you are able to receive such things now, I think you can now be considered a true god. *Please insert clapping sounds here.* I, The Great Goddess Of Madness and Cookies, Detea, hereby grant you, Stein, the title of the God of Time! Well, you were one since before, but you weren¡¯t a ¡®real¡¯ god until we officially announced you as one just now. From this letter I, The Great Goddess Of Madness and Cookies, Detea, call you to come to the next Meeting of the gods that is going to happen in a few months. Don¡¯t forget to bring the minor God of Mechas, Trimp, your subornitate with you. All the other gods want to met you guys. :) P.S. Thisia, Goddess of Thighs, sends her regards. Which means we all know your fetish now seeing as she only pays attention to a certain group of people! KAH KAH KAH KAH KAH[/table] This was the letter I received while Siegfried was working at the sister''s store¡­ I really wasn¡¯t expecting it, but now I think I got some trouble in my hands. ¡°What the hell is going to happen here?¡± I ask myself as I continue to watch over the worlds, and Eris.*Tick Tock Tick Tock*
Writer''s Spot: Good to see you again, Time Travelers. As you will notice now, the story will walk a bit slower but it will continue as I said. I''ll not say that I have already write the last part of the story because I had an urge to do it... The story is now going to be a little slower than before with some times skips and all because I want to make Eris a bit too cute and innocent before breaking it all when she starts to feel that she loves someone. I will be here just showing you all that the story is going to continue and the releases will happen when Ultrabenosaurus get to PR the chapters. I got too much time already and I am here just to tell you all: "Have a safe travel, my good friends, Time Travelers."
