Chapter 16: Chapter 15: Life Beyond Life
Looking over the various systems, I thought that some of them seemed pretty valuable. However, at the same time, I thought that there were a few missing. The biggest, and most obvious one being an inventory system. Something like that could completely change the way the world worked. Merchant caravans, military supply lines, everything would change with an inventory system.
As I thought about submitting the system myself for the huge potential income, I hesitated. I definitely couldn’t afford something that powerful right now. And, if I still didn’t have it by the time Earth entered the games, that could be a disaster. After all, if the invading force could use the inventory system before me, and stocked up on a large number of powerful weapons or materials, there would be little that I could do against them.
So, I decided to make a mental note of the inventory system, so that I could submit it when I was closer to being able to afford it. At the same time, this gave me a while to define the rules for the system, and customize it more than just giving a brief summary. Though, that might drive the price up a bit as well.
Anyways, now that I was done with everything, I resumed the time for Earth. I needed to advance the world by quite a lot before I could do any major changes to it. As such, I took a look at the races again, seeing if anything had changed during the last fast forward. To my surprise, there was actually not much change at all.
The dwarves had yet to discover more crafting knowledge, though at the same time the volcano had yet to erupt. Some families, seeing the lava, had apparently taken the initiative to leave the mountain on their own for safety. The others continued to remain behind.
The humans had established a ruler for their little kingdom, but were still very slow in progressing it. I’d probably need to give them a nudge later on to help them catch up to the other races at this rate. Though, they were still ahead of the halflings.
While most were still content to wander the fields and forests, some halflings had finally begun to settle down, making the first village. It could not be considered a kingdom yet, but at least they were starting to make progress. Maybe I should have moved them a bit closer to other races, so that they could interact… or would that cause even more problems?
The elves were slowly beginning to expand their territory, though from what I could see there was still a heavy focus on studying magic. Sadly, they had yet to learn any of the different spells on their own, rather than relying on the class system. The biggest downside to their longevity was definitely a slower development speed compared to other races of the same level. Most likely, if the others had all gotten their buffs early on, the elves would not be as far ahead as they are now. And now that the playing field is even, the elves will begin to fall behind. I guess that’s why they are always portrayed as ancient races, to give them more of a head start.
Now, for the beastkin. They had definitely made the most advancement, with two new villages set up near their original base. These villages appeared to all follow the same chain of command, with local leaders that reported to the current matriarch of the beastkin. It wasn’t really a surprise that they were advancing so quickly. Unlike the other races, they had a major advantage in terms of numbers.
After reviewing the different races, I began making a mental checklist for things that they needed to advance. Elves need to start learning to make their own magic. Halflings need to band together more. Dwarves need to finish discovering how to craft. Humans should be fine for now, should see how they develop without the fighting. And the beastkin… they are already on the right track.
I began going through that list a few times, seeing what I could do to help. The elves were an easy one to help, but the others… not so much. I didn’t know the first thing about crafting, and there was currently not a halfling god to use to gather those.
For now, I decided to do what I could, and navigated to the elven kingdom on the screen. I had two choices for how I wanted to do this. I could either descend, and manually give someone the spell diagram, or I could communicate it to them mentally. Of course, just like with the beastkin, it was better to do this through a goddess that the elves already knew.
“Hmm? Where are you going?” Terra asked lazily from the bed, rolling over onto her back and looking at me with her head upside down.
“Need to go see Ryone.” I answered briefly. “Got something for her to do for me.” I noticed something flicker slightly in Terra’s eyes, before she simply shrugged and rolled back over. With that out of the way, I made my way to the spacious room down the hall, where the other goddesses were currently being stored.

Since they had no personalities of their own, they simply stood in place. I was really hoping that they would still be able to act if they were ordered. Well, time to find out. I opened the door, finding all three of the goddesses standing against the far wall, fully clothed.
Bihena, the human Goddess of Battle, stood wearing a purple dress that clung to her curves. On her back was a crude wooden spear, the highest level of weapon technology available to the humans. Her blonde hair fell down to the middle of her back, and her hazel eyes showed a vacant look.
Udona, the kitsune Goddess of Life, stood next to her. She wore animal furs, granting her a more primal look, while her pose remained elegant. Her golden hair stopped just below her shoulders, and she had the same vacant look as Bihena.
Finally, there was Ryone, who stood last in the line. As the elven Goddess of Wealth, she was dressed in a white toga. Her petite chest barely showed through the loose fitting clothes, while on her head she sported a rough crown of wood.
Walking up to her, I decided to ask as bluntly as possible. “Ryone, are you able to speak with your people?”
“Yes, Keeper.” She answered in a monotone voice. Good, that will make things easier.
Abrigor was a hard working mage of the kingdom of Gandor. One of the first to be appointed by Eldwynn in order to understand this strange power known as magic. In fact, he was currently the highest level Mage, with a full twelve levels in the class. It had been he that discovered the ability to cast spells without relying on the strange power guiding them, and he who discovered that carving the symbols of power in wood or stone allowed their spells to be cast more quickly.
And now, it was he who heard a voice whispering to him in his dreams. One that had never before spoken to any elf. Learn. The voice spoke a single word, in a low whisper. Abrigor almost thought that he had imagined it, but then images appeared in his mind.
First, two images he was very familiar with appeared. They were the symbols of power associated with the spells Shield and Fire. He did not know what he was supposed to learn, at first, but then the images began changing. A portion from the Fire symbol faded away, while the majority of the Shield symbol had done the same.
What was left of the two symbols began to overlap in his mind, before they formed an entirely new symbol of power. He wasn’t sure how, but he knew that this new symbol also contained a power of its own. Again, the voice repeated that same word. Learn
In a rush of excitement, Abrigor channeled his internal energy through that new symbol in his head, eager to find its purpose. The result, an invisible blast of pure force extending from his hand, punching against a nearby tree with a dull sound. Afterwards, another voice appeared in his head. This one was one that he was all too familiar with, which announced whenever he had advanced in power.
You have obtained the Archmage class. Abrigor was stunned as he heard that, and immediately went to share his findings with Eldwynn.
