Chapter 2: Chapter 2 I’m a What Now?

...

‘Hmmm~’ Nora moaned as he slowly woke up. His mind felt refreshed, as if he had slept for millennia.

Nora opened his eyes lazily as he set his eyes on his surroundings. Confused, he felt something amiss.

I still remember the previous events that happened before. I had concluded that I had died and was reborn in what seemed like nothingness.

 

‘...’ *silence*

 

Remembering the emotional meltdown that he had previously. Nora felt his face heat up slightly from the embarrassment.

“Ugh, let’s imagine that momentary emotional meltdown never happened.’ Nora brushed these emotions aside like any normal and ‘healthy’ teen his age...

 

Now...

“We have a more pressing matter to attend to... It changed...” He said warily as he continued to examine his surroundings.

Unlike the previous nothingness, when he first woke up. It had now changed.

 

Nora floated in a dark space filled with beautiful, shimmering lights, like stars. It felt like they surrounded him on the starry night: divine and ethereal.

He tried to get near the ‘stars’ only to realize that upon a closer look, these stars seemed to be droplets...?

 

“Are these... my tears?” Nora questioned as he remembered the weeping and sobbing he did that lasted for god knows how long. He overlook the crying part, and instead questioned how all these “tears” happened. The star-like tears formed an ocean of stars as far as the eye can see.

As Nora ruffled his mind for answers, there was a sudden sound, like a notification.

[Ding!]

Suddenly a light blue panel appeared; that read [Notification Log] with a big red dot signifying it was unread.

 

It exhilarated Nora at the idea of having a game-like panel suddenly appearing in front of him.

Nodding in satisfaction with the system panels’ existence and convenience; Nora clicked on the [Notification Log]

[Congratulations! Requirements met: Granting the Title [Primordial God]!

“...”

“WHAT?!!” Nora yelled from the top of his lungs as he read the first line of text that appeared from the system panel.

Nervous about the current situation, Nora attempted something like in most games.

 

‘STATUS.’ Nora thought when a screen appeared before he could even ‘speak’ the phrase.

Nora was speechless at the sight of the status that had appeared before him.

‘This isn’t making any sense. How did I even get these titles and abilities that I have? My race could probably be understandable: I have seen my fair share of isekai novels where they reincarnate into different beings... Only in this case, I was born a God...’

Seeming to respond to his will, more panels appeared, explaining the things he just saw.

Every ounce of information that he had read overwhelmed Nora.

 

He took a moment to compose himself and slowly digested the reality of the matter.

“I am a God... What now...?” Nora said and asked himself.

He tried his best to make his brain-hole work at its best, jumping from one point to another regarding what to do next.

He does not wish to dabble in power struggles between gods, as he knows that even the Gods have a hierarchy. Most likely separated by so-called good and evil or different pantheons.

 

He was also a little shocked by the age displayed in his status but didn’t feel the need to care how long he had presumably slept since it was the least of his worries right now... To him, although the thought of him sleeping for such long periods was shocking; frightening even, it didn’t seem to bother him much other than the initial shock of suddenly being so old.

One thing he has noticed, though, is his countenance. Nora knew himself well. He was introverted and felt weird being around people... That part of him still existed strongly in him but Nora felt slightly different... To a certain extent; he felt more confident about his stature, prideful even.

“This new feeling feels kind of nice... I don’t feel like hiding in a hole anymore at the thought of leaving my comfort zone...” Nora surmised from his newfound confidence unknowingly so little.

‘I don’t feel so ancient as they describe gods in stories.’ Nora thought as he mounted it to probably being asleep and therefore didn’t feel the passing of time in the normal sense.

Nora thought of this, becoming a neutral God and living in the mortal world.

“I just want to live my life normally and in peace.”  

I don’t need to care about anything else; other than living for myself and doing the things I couldn’t do in my previous life... Like making friends... 

The thought of making friends at his age made him cringe a little.

In his previous life, Nora had always been friendly and kind to his peers. Sadly, he didn’t have enough energy in his social meter to maintain the friendships going... He was naturally introverted eventually; any good relationship he had with his peers would slowly be forgotten... At most, his peers remembered Nora as a nice kid...

*Sigh* Nora breathed a deep sigh when recalling his history of loneliness.

 

Steeling himself. Nora set aside these thoughts and went on with his skills.

He didn’t expect to not receive any information as he thought it was normal in the novels he had read, but it seems he was mistaken.

Deciding on this as his final decision, Nora decided to put his skills to the test.

‘The system didn’t explain my skills as I thought it would. There are also no levels of the sort as I initially expected of a game-like panel like this...’ Nora thought as he tried to poke around his {Skills}

‘Okay, first of all, why don’t we try [Divine Kingdom]...’ Nora thought as he willed the skill to activate.

Nora, who was enveloped by the starry night, turned up in a somewhat different place. He was still on a starry night, if he could even call it that. 

Nora appeared in a space filled with darkness, with only a few dozen ‘stars’ donning the surroundings.

 

‘From the name of the skill, it probably has something to do with my “Kingdom”... ‘ Nora thought as he tried to understand the skill with the knowledge he has from his previous life.

Is this like my own “Heaven”, similar to the holy scriptures in his world? 

“Why is it so... empty...?” Nora questioned, as this was not what he had envisioned when the words Divine or Kingdom comes to mind, much less the combination of both words.

Much to Nora's delight, he could indeed feel a connection with this 'space'. It felt like it was a part of him.

Nora concentrated on this 'feeling' to better understand the purpose of this space. When he perceived something... 

Nora focused and heard light whispers from multiple sources. The voices in the whispers felt good and seem to carry a power that lifts the spirit... Nora listened intently, trying to find the source of the whispers, when he set his eyes on the sparse, dull shining stars...
