chap. 1

Jae sat down at the table with the rest of the gods he associates with. Jae, being a god people rarely pray to anymore, was left with a lot of free time. The table was surrounded by three of his very supportive friends that love taking care of him and having him as a friend even though he doesn't get nearly as many prayers and offerings as them.

"Good morning, Jae." greeted Sungjin, the god of wisdom, or the son of athena. (pretending that this is how that works. lol.) next to him sat Younghyun, the god of music and poetry.

"How'd you guys sleep?" Jae asked. There was an abundance of facepalms happening around him.

"Jae.. we're gods. We don't sleep." said Dowoon, god of the sea. Jae laughed and looked the other way.

"Haha, I guess you're right." There was now an awkward silence between the gods. You see, because of Jae's lack of prayers, his powers as a god have weakened, almost bringing him to the level of a mortal. Unlike most gods, Jae had to use the bathroom, sleep, and do other things that gods don't give a second thought about.

Jae is the god of poverty and protection. No one knew of the second part. That was why no one even gave him a second thought. Who would want to pray for poverty, right?

Jae's thoughts were distracted when a delicious breakfast was placed in front of him. Despite being the god of music and poetry, Younghyun was the best at cooking.

"Thanks for the meal!" was Jae's normal response. Jae began to dig into his breakfast as the others fondly watched. They had no need to eat, but enjoyed watching Jae enjoy their cooking.

Once he is finished, they clean up and leave the shrine to begin their day of being gods.
