Not having a body of flesh and blood makes waking up surprisingly easy. My morning were always cloudy and usually drowned out with an unhealthy amount of coffee. Now I'm asleep or awake in what feels like seconds.
" How long did my rest last?" If my memory is right then it's Ray that's walking up to me. " It's been a rather calm week since you entered your rest my goddess." Thankfully she understands that lifting my arms up means I want to be carried. " Please everyone gather up! Everyone that wishes to fight please come forward. I'm sorry to say this, but anyone that doesn't want to fight and hasn't been changed will have to wait a few days."
Quite a few of the new faces here do want to fight. It's kinda surprising that the ratio of males to female is more leaning to female by a slight amount. Thankfully I'm starting to get muted to seeing nake people by now. It definitely helps I'm making them all hot.
Wait no, that's not the main purpose for this right now. " Let it be known that from this day forth you are part of the Ranni familia. Unlike the other Gods I won't guide your growth in strength. You will dictate your path in life and I will give you the tools to do so. Let me tell you now of eight paths you may level."
Many of the people gather closer to better hear my slightly squeaky voice. " Vigor will dictate how many hits you can endore and how many toxins you can resist. Mind grows your magical capacity. Endurance will let you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and continue to even when others bodies would fall. Strength is all about hitting harder and powering though hits. Dexterity will govern over speed, flexibility, and pin point precision. Intelligence let's you think, see, and plan far faster than possible. It also lets you manipulate the very world around you. Thankfully I am the goddess of magical moonlight and can help any wanting to practice magic. Faith will let you boast not only yourself but others. From healing to hurting can be done with willpower and faith. Lastly on this long explanation is arcane. It's the magic of chance and the more abstract metaphysical things."
I'll definitely let them process all that information for now. That was a pretty large info dump even for me. Unlike the large G Gods I don't have the casual amount of time and power to look though everyone's soul and choice what action gives what stat for everyone. Just any highlights and the overall amount of stats gained will work for me. It'll be pretty hilarious to see the other's faces when they see one of my children with a level many times over seven. Hohohoho, thankfully a few of the larger of my children wanted to have their chest and back mostly uncovered.
In order for our plan to work both myself and my new familia need to look absolutely overpowered. Thankfully on the way outside we can hit four birds with one stone. My children can level up on the way there. It'd be vastly easier to make armor and weapons for my children, and I know just where large amounts of orichalcum are. Stopping the slave trade of Xenos and killing the slavers definitely make going too good.
" We must make haste to Rivira my children. Do not worry about being seen. We shall be under illusions to appear like normal adventurer's. Let us free your brothers and sisters from their suffering and destroy the very ground it happened on." The lungs on my children are definitely high capacity. Their yells shake the walls with their volume.
If wasn't for the very nature of my magic then the other Gods would've probably found me out by now. Considering they haven't even found out that a new moon is hidden above them, I'd say my illusions can't be easily seen through. My children make short work of getting to the higher floors. Only a few parties of adventures seen us but they never got too close.
"I'd say this was a masterpiece of an illusion if I didn't know what's behind these doors. Now gather around for your level ups children. Now I know I said everyone will walk your own paths when leveling up, but I'll personally whip your asses if you don't level up vigor enough." Maybe I should've followed the other Gods example and leveled them up personally? Oh what would I do if... No, they will die when it's time. I shouldn't mother hen them and let them truly live there own life's.
Only two of the warriors stand guard over the few non-fighters as we go further inside the man made dungeon. Only a few small pokes are needed to open the locked gates. Magical x ray vision let's me see that the next gate is the one we're after. It's slightly difficult to unwrap the wall's anti magic properties, but using magic to stop a magic god never works well.
My work of making weapons and armor can't truly be enjoyed. Not with the grim sight just a wall away. The theme has been a matter of debate for myself. I settle for a blue and white Spartan look for everything with hints of runes. It's truly fun making little changes that my children ask for. Only two females didn't want a full set of armour. Funny enough they're both the only ones going for high vigor and strength builds.
Flow and Moss are their names and they're one of the stranger builds. Flow cuts an intimidating figure for a female minotaur. With a great bow that's bigger than her she'll definitely pierce the hearts of many. Moss almost looks more like a dwarf than a goblin. With a great shield and mace she definitely fits the dwarf look. As wonderful looking at their scantily clad bodies is, I'd very much like them to live longer with heavy armor.
My children seem to all want magic in there life's. Many chose to learn spears or slashes of different magical elements. Only four chose to be holy buffers with a mostly mixed builds. Three chose to be healers with heavy shields and armor. Well, two of them chose having a shield. The other wanted to have a great warhammer. All the others mixed one magical stat with one or two of the physical ones. Well, all of them but a small horned rabbit boy. Having all of his stats in magical ones definitely makes me want me whip his ass.
" Go forth my children, free your brothers and sisters and clam the heads of your tormentors." As my children run inside the opened run my mind slows. Magic shoots out as I slam a gate onto another God's face. The descendant of Daedalus tries to open the gate, but as it starts to rise I poke it back down.
" You leave me no choice but to have fun with you! I'll-" He's definitely a strong mortal. It's too bad Flow's great arrow only ripped off half of his lower jaw. I'll definitely whip any of my children into shape if they ever start to monologue. The battle is a short and bloodly one. Thankfully the few deep wounds are healed, but many of the Xenos needed a divine touch to heal.
Using orichalcum I make a few wagons. I don't know if I can hide everyone from other Gods if we walked as a crowd. Thankfully with my sight we both found a different exit and avoided the evil God's follower. Even though we need to get outside the city as soon as possible, I let them bask and party in the sun's light.
