Recreation: Primordial Deities

Chapter 8: A Lesson on Playing God

Sandalphonia PoV

As of late it has become part of my evening routine to check on the humans that encamped right outside the village, though I have sensed no malice emanating from them, it couldn't hurt to be cautious and not often rely on my powers as a deity.

Each night I use [Godly Whispers] to make my presence known to them.

At first the description of the skill was vague as I don't even know how the mechanism of this power works, it isn't like [Forest Deity Magic] where you just snap your fingers utter some words and wave around your hands to control it it was something else.

Thankfully scroll bastard was able to explain it.

I'am able to send what I want them to do while touching them, even just the finger is enough.

However since  [ Ethereal Cloak] cancels when I use another skill I decided to do it at night.

I started slowly by tidbits of hints and reminders such as how they should present themselves and what not, the bastard scroll mentioned that deities who have power to influence the actions of mortals often give them knowledge and even at some point procedures that can be used in making peoples lives easier.

Though other deities don't have my power of directly implanting thoughts and suggestions other deities use other means such as rain, wind and even war.

And let me say it is a huge pain in the ass to do it every night,usually midnight most of time, I was doing it for a week in a half, and yes I counted, even the sylphs seemed disturbed and worried when I return at dawn .

I found out that this actually comes out of people dreams which shook the people, each with their own interpretation.

Although it is much easier for people to know of my existence, it is much more likely for them to misunderstand my intentions. Which led to some believing of me as an evil being, others thought of me as a wandering spirit who guides them, while others are still confused.

I still worry of those people who doubt me ,but who could blame them. As I used [Godly Whispers ] on the last person I started heading back towards the forest.

As I was walking I was absorbed in thinking.

Personally the reason I want to form a kingdom  is partly due to those novels and stories that I read when I was still alive in Japan, I often  get amazed by characters of those who are able to gather people under ones leadership, as well as characters who give no priority when it comes to helping others.

Now since I reincarnated into a deity a being considered as one of the many gods of this world. I want to be like those heroes and heroines in those stories, people who are capable of doing something.

A childish and immature dream that though is...

I returned to my ruins and noticed the dark sky slowly turning purple covered with several dark clouds.

Dawn is coming huh...

It truly is the rainy season.

Damn a whole shit fest...

I looked around if any sylphs stayed behind, looks like there are none.

As I did I noticed something on the pedestal and took a close look at it there seemed to be two although I can't make them out.

I took the first one which was white and spread it out to see it was a soft and fluffy blanket, it reminded me of a futon, the other was a pillow of sorts woven with plant fiber, and smelled earthly, the down used must be some type of plant.
