When the contract between the Divine Spirit and my soul was made, it felt like sothing I've never felt before! It was completely different than my connection with the Undead I controlled, which was more like just an Authority, this was an intrinsic connection, a bond of soul and emotions.
I could feel the innocence of this spirit, and the little trust they put on , so much it felt slightly embarrassing how naïve it was. I had to make sure to make this spirit happy and feed it well, or it might lose trust and leave .
But for now, the power I felt was incredible, as long as this connection remained, my Soul itself grew at least a ten percent larger than before, which is an imnse feat considering how big and strong it already was.
Ding!
[You've created a Spirit Contract with the [Poisonous Miasmic Moth Divine Spirit]!]
[As your first ever Divine Spirit contract, you've unlocked many new Spirit Magic Spells!]
[You acquired the [Divine Spirit Mage: Lv1] Title Skill!]
[All Spirit-related Skills have gained 1 Bonus Level!]
[Your Aether has increased by 100!]
Not only did I get an aweso new Title Skill, but also all of my Spirit-related Skills gained a bonus level, and I gained 100 Aether, the unique stat that showcases the growth of my Soul! I can't believe it. This is out of this world!
Ding!
[Do you wish to give a Na to the Divine Spirit you've contracted with? If they like the na, their affection towards you might increase.]
"A-A na? Sure… Okay, I got it. You'll be Athysts." I smiled, patting its fluffy head, the little antennae it had gave an adorable little movent, as it climbed over and then rested on my chest.
"Kyuuh!" It nodded, rather happily.
Ding!
[You've nad your Spirit as [Athyst], your connection and bond has been strengthened.]
[Athyst] says they're still very hungry.]
[Feed them!]
"O-Oh, alright." I laughed." Do you eat miasma crystals too? Demonite? I got plenty."
"Kyuuh!" The little spirit happily started eating the Demonite shards one after another.
It was just a silly little spirit, but I was already seeing it like another adorable pet I could take care of, maybe one that I won't have to leave protecting our ho as I usually do. Another new thing I also noticed in my status was this, a new tab for spirits.

[Contracted Spirits]: [Poisonous Miasmic Moth Divine Spirit: Athyst (Affection: 50/100)]

It even showed their affection, and Athyst was already halfway through! I only needed to feed him and pet him a bit more and he would beco my loyal spirit! Now I feel like I want MORE, they give Aether, which helps my soul slowly ascend into a higher state what I need to develop my Divine Ember so I can eventually beco a Goddess.
"Wow, nice that you finally got a spirit, Maria!" Jonathan celebrated.
"Yeah, yeah, you finally did it." Catarina clapped at .
"Good work mum!" Nyx agreed, cheering for .
"Okay, I don't think it is enough to make a celebration about it…" I sighed. "But I'm grateful for the complints, nonetheless. Let's head back ho now, I don't think there's any other spirit left, sadly."
"I'm wondering how the town we built with Naiad looks now…" Said Eustace. His face filled with excitent slowly changed as we told him all the horrendous things that have happened in here.
"T-This is awful… Why would a Saintess do this? Ah, she's a Saintess of that rotten Water Goddess, huh?" Eustace wondered. "That woman was the daughter of a powerful Player like Odin, she was most likely born in luxuries and never struggled. I doubt she has ever traveled anywhere else than Yggdrasil. Ordering her Saintess to do these horrendous thins does align with how I rember her to be."
"You et her in person?" I wondered. "But how did you get to where the Gods are? Don't I need to ascend first?"
"I did undergo Ascension. You could say I was sothing like a Demigod before my death." Eustace said. "I am now back to S Rank. I would need to reach SSS Rank to finally beco a Demigod again. And once you reach L Rank, your Divine Ember develops into a Divinity Core by fusing with your Origin. And then… I, huh, I don't rember well what happens next."
"Well, figures, you're a ghost. All ghosts have bad mories, I was surprised you rembered so much." I laughed a bit. "So I need to be SSS Rank to be a Demigoddess, huh? That sounds like a lot of annoying grinding."
"Well, not necessarily. So Players could reach that stage much earlier. It depends on your talent, Traits, Skills, and other things. Oh right, the Divine Concept too… So people are born with it naturally, very talented ones that are usually already a god's children. If you Cultivate through Murim's techniques coupled with leveling, your growth speed should be twice as fast if not more. I rember there was also sothing in this world they called Magic Circle Creation. Has anybody done that yet?" Eustace asked.
"Wait, the what?" I wondered, everyone was just as confused.
"You don't know what it is?!" He was shocked. "But that can't be… Unless the "Gods" of this world have been purposely making all of this information harder to find? But why do they want to weaken the inhabitants of this world so much?"
"Probably to have better control over the population." Lucifer said. "There are also level caps, most people can't reach a level higher than 50."
"What…? That wasn't as common as before…" Eustace muttered. "Odin, that monster is obsessed with having control over the people. Probably thinking that an inhabitant of Yggdrasil could beco a Player themselves is what's making him so afraid… That soone would dare challenge their throne in this World, which they stole from the true ancient Gods, the Dragons and Titans. Who existed in this world even before it was aligned with the Tower, according to what I know."
"There's a lot of knowledge that is taboo to spread around, apparently…" I said. "Jonathan, do you know anything like this?"
"I do… I do rember a few things, taboo knowledge that the church killed people for just to keep it a secret. Things about a "Tower connecting Worlds" and such, which I never believed…" Jonathan was left speechless.
