Chapter Skippable
Seven figures can be seen sitting in a black-colored meeting room. In the middle of the room, a jet black table round table was kept with blood-red engravings on it. Black pillars on the sides of the room intensified the dark theme of the room.
'Finally, we completed the third meeting room 'A figure with a pure white dragon head spoke without moving his jaws. It also had white skeleton wings protruding out of its back.
'Indeed, it took a lot of time to collect the materials for a black theme room. Also, the massive traps we set up near them took a lot of resources to build, not to mention the digging time.' Another figure with a silver head spoke.
'I just hope that nobody triggers them soon' The human-like figure with long pointed ears said with a sigh at the end.
'Common don't be so lazy. Can you even imagine how grand it will see the faces of people in despair?' A creature that looked like it was a plant bound by veins spoke.
'I just want some rest from collecting resources, don't put me with lazy people.' She retorted.
A massive argument between the two of them started and the rest of the five just stared at the two. The argument seemed to go in the favor of the Bukubukuchagama and Punitto Moe seemed to go on a back step. As a last resort, in the argument to make her seem lazy, he retorted.
'Then why don't you go make some H-games for your perverted brother? We can take care of the base ourselves.'
A heavy silence filled the room as she seemed to back down suddenly. Everyone knew that something was wrong with the ever cheerful Buku. Momonga noticed it too. He had seen the fights of the sibling pair for a long time, but he knew deep down inside they cared for each other a lot. Then a curiosity popped inside of his mind, Why hasn't she talked about his perverted brother in the new game at all. The brother who loved the game so much, who created an NPC in the previous one after so many trials and errors that even made him sleepy, hadn't joined the new game at all. He remembered the reason for the two to quit the previous game was the failing health of Peroroncino. Then it hit him like a truck.
He shook his head multiple times, but the next words from her mouth left him incapacitated.
'He is dead' She said in a lowered voice with a hint of pain and cried softly.' I have been trying to forget the fact that he would never return for the past four years. What do you know, huh?'
She had been carrying the weight of this disgusting world for five years. Trying to make peace with his own perverted little brother. She never even stopped meddling with him trying stupid things and remained manipulated until he fell down in the bedroom. All the emotions bottled up inside burst out.
Momonga who shouldn't feel cold thanks to the in-game resistances felt his heart getting chilled. He always saw him as his own little brother, they went on adventures together many times. He even lied to the guildmates about the data crystals when he was crafting the bow so he could complete it with no fights. The brother who was now dead, and he didn't even suspect.
As they were going through all the emotions, a notification popped up stating about a raid on their base. The timing of the raid couldn't have been worse as it earned the ill will of the five except Momonga, who seemed to have frozen and a sobbing Bukubukuchagama.
'These fucking bastards' Bukubkuchagama said in a trailing yet angry voice. She couldn't have been more pissed about something. Not only would they have to restore the traps later, but also it didn't even let her cry for his late brother. A chill ran down all six of them as they heard her next. She was now not only going to kill them, but she also wanted to torture them repeatedly till they quit the game entirely, or so she said and jumped out of her chair.
They had to cool her down a bit so that she didn't march in the raid directly like a barbarian. They changed the plan from watching from far to stealing any necessary thing they had on them, which included any job title they had.
AN ETERNITY LATER
A Day
All seven had assembled back in the late-night the very next day. They had planned this meet at the time they were planning the raid to discuss various things going forward and the titles awarded to them. Three who received the higher god titles were Touch Me, Ulbert, and Bukubukuchagama. Everyone's combat potential was considered while selecting the candidate because defeating gods was no simple task, even with skill support from Momonga.
'So what titles did you guys get?' Tabula asked.
Momonga smiled as he saw that not only everyone assembled on a workday but also it was that everyone was in a cheerful mood even though they were all alone in their actual lives.
'Uwu, I got what I love the most 'god of destruction''. Ulbert replied. It would be a lie if he told anyone that he didn't want heavy destruction spells. Normal Grand-tier spells took too much time to cast and weren't as flashy as {Grand Catastrophe} albeit they did more damage than it by a big margin. As he saw one of the god spells, he received a buffed up version of his favorite spell he got excited to the point of bursting.
It also gave him a fallen seraph with very high physical strength, stamina, and durability. Next Touch Me spoke.
'God of Balance' With a humph sound in the end. His top priority was his friends now, and not justice. So he had switched from pure paladin of justice to the strongest paladin he could make, but he crafted an armor that looked similar to the previous game. The thing that appealed to him most was the ability to use { Twilight Heal} a 12th tier spell that should be able to cast magic casters only. He got a normal-looking with boosted stats than a one normally summonable through rituals.
'Well, what do you get?' Momonga asked as he saw that she was quiet for a while now.
'Make a guess' she replied in a teasing voice.
'I don't have a clue. Your build is very close to a normal warrior build'
'Common at least give it a shot'
'Maybe God of bickering' Momonga replied, getting annoyed by the teasing.
She made a loud pouting sound and turned away from him. 'If you have so much trouble with me, I won't tell you'
She is impossible, but then again, standing up after being forced to remember a terrible past.
'I am sorry. Maybe God of Warriors' He said in an apologetic voice. She didn't move her head a single bit from that direction. She stood up from the seat and walked up to the door.
She is spoilt, isn't she? Huh, but I was the one who made her angry and so I have to convince her. He thought. He got up from his seat and quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her with one of his spells, which slowed her down.
'I am sorry' He said while bringing his hands near where his human ears should have been. ' Please tell us'
She folded her arms and said. 'under one condition'
'Accepted' He replied immediately as he cared more for her than some insignificant item or his time.
'You haven't even heard what it is,'
'Doesn't matter, if that thing makes you happy it is worth it.' He spoke in between of her reply.
Momonga would never know this, but she switched her condition in her head as soon as she heard this.
'Are you sure?' she asked in a nervous tone to confirm what she heard.
'As sure as hell,' he replied.
'Then would you like udon or Hakka noodle?'
His little brain with almost non-existent experience with the opposite sex wasn't able to process the correct meaning behind those words. He thought she asked what he liked more and not what he would like to eat. He never had eaten either in his entire life. All five of them who were watching the scene unfold had their mouths opened by the statement. Even the two who were very similar to him in experience with him had understood the meaning.
' I haven't eaten either, so I can't judge them. You can ask Touch-san, but what's the condition?'
After he said that, a loud sound reverberated through the room. When he looked towards the table from where the sound came, he saw that Hero-Hero had planted his slimy face on the table. Touch Me looked like he was going through a migraine and others just staring at him.
'Have you ever talked to a girl before or are you trying to make fun of me. ' she said in an angered voice.
'In real life, no.' He replied densely.
He didn't know why, but he felt like everyone was seeing him with pity. She just put one of his hands on his and explained what she meant.
'So we are dating now' She said in the end.
'Wait what?' He was in a little shock from the turn of events he just experienced inside of his little brain.
A/N:- This will mark the end of the Prologue arc and now I will move to the Isekai arc now. So cheers.
