So you ca here with another Dragon?!
A bit of a lengthy story but yes, Sofia answered, you said it was around here?
Thats what the viewers told
Sofia frowned, Can you really not explain what this is about viewers?
Its Fine, Ill tell you if you tell how you canceled my attacks! Cinthia offered, her hands on her hips.
My second specialization lets do that. I can pay twice the mana your spell costs to cancel it. Your turn.
Second specialization?! Also thats quite strong I assu you have lots of mana then? Yet youre so physically strong
Do you not know about specializations?
No, no, I know. Boss has two of them too. Its just so hard to get them
Hmm, makes sense that Saria also has two, since her na was so high in the tower.
Cinthias expression froze. H- Her na?
Well yeah? Im sorry Lords, for I have sinned. Bragging is too much fun! I finished first after all, so
Sofia had to rember all she knew about [Poker face]s mana patternsto not burst out laughing at Cinthias series of shocked expressions. Her red skin kind of made her look constantly startled, which only made it cuter.
Will you explain about the viewer thing then?
Ah, yes, sorry It has to do with my class Uh, to put it bluntly The Recessed watch . For fun. Thats my class.
Uh?! How is that a class?!
They, like Follow you around like perverts? Like the Orator?
N- no Kind of More like they can always watch if they want I get my skills from it, so
So you get your powers from the Recessed watching you? Theyre watching us right now?
Yes Dont worry theyre not as evi- Cinthia got defensive all of a sudden, but Sofia had moved closer, she put a finger on Cinthias mouth. How many? she asked before removing her finger.
T- Twelve right now
TWELVE?! Is Sorrow there too?
I Uh Aaaaaaah, so many ssages Cinthia said as she looked to the side. I think Sorrow is present, yes
Really?! Hello mom! Can you see ? Sofia jumped in place and waved, Thanks for the skills!
Mom? Cinthia was starting to overheat.
Ah, its nothing, Im just Sorrows Apostle.
Sofia caught the Orc as she fell backward. Ah, did she faint? Crap. I bragged her halfway to death Are the Recessed still watching, then? She couldve been lying too. But why would she? She softly shook the girl but she was not waking up. Shes not dead though Well
Since Cinthia was down, Sofia gave up trying to find so random trapdoor in the ground for now and carried the girl up to her bone throne rooftop. She made a bone bed and put the Cinthia on it. Then she returned to her map, to monitor the birds. Most of them indicated empty buildings, but so were giving the signal from monsters and one seed to have found a person.
Another disciple? Im surprised they didnt notice the bird, everyone in this fake world should be around my level. Cinthia seems a bit ntally weak but shes no pushover I had to dispel her attacks because they were really threatening. They cost a huge chunk of mana to get rid of, too!
Sofia gave another look at the sleeping girl. I cant believe she passed out so fast, I didnt even have ti to show her my heart.
Its nice to have lighthearted interactions like that, for once, since I havent seen Alith in a while...
Ah! Cinthia yelped from behind. Sofia turned around, Welco back, and sorry.
Cinthia frowned, Its not nice to lie like that.
It was all true though?
Co on, Cinthia's frown deepened, You dont look like an Apostle at all! Even if you look kind of strange
Cant you ask your viewers then? Since you said they sent ssages. Thats what it was, right? If its really Sorrow then She would know.
Cinthia narrowed her eyes, she looked to the side again, and again she whispered to herself, How are there so many, Wait, for real?, And I thought I was the weirdest disciple of the sect she looked up again, Im sorry I doubted you It looks like they have ssages for you
Sorrow?
A bunch of them, in fact To explain a bit more, they can give quests that reward with a currency I need to use so of my skills. I just received a lot of new quests just to give you ssages
Does that usually happen?
Cinthia shook her head, No to begin with theres usually only two or three of them watching at a ti, never so many
So youll get free stuff for just letting look at so system windows?
Thats one way to say it she answered, standing up from her sitting position on the bone bed. Do you want to see them?
Of course? Who wouldnt want to receive so godly mail? And if you can get paid for it, please do, suck them dry!
I Ehrm, Im not allowed to show the entire ssage log to anyone, but I will give you the ssages they sent for you.
I wonder what they have to say. Why do they want to talk to in the first place, except for Sorrow? Is Dread going to ask for their essence back?
Cinthia seed to be ssing with her many system windows, her eyes looking everywhere as she struggled to organize her things. So, in order I got them, this is the first Please dont get offended
Why would
[Daddy Hatred] : Who the fuck are you, uh? Leave Cinthia alone!
Well, the na is consistent with the ssage
Daddy Hatred?
Thats Hatred is my most dedicated viewer. He is easily riled up. The Recessed all use alternate nas, but Hatred isnt the kind to hide His Identity
Sofia chuckled, Sohow, I feel a bit sorry for you.
No, Hatred is nice, really Uw Thats a weird thing to say Anyway, just Here's the next one!
[|||||]: (_)
I dont get it Can you help translate that?
Cinthia nodded, This is Death.
Oh. I died a few tis, I have to say, it never appeared to that death was a bunch of bars.
You died a few Im not even going to ask So, yes, this is Death, according to Hatred at least. I dont know why but they only communicate with these faces, I think this one ans theyre mildly annoyed
Death annoyed? Because I deleted [Avatar of Death]? I also took Suns blessing for Bookie instead of theirs Yeah no wonder a God might be annoyed after being ignored two tis by a random mortal
Im sorry elder Death, the other offers were too good to pass up Sofia decided to say, giving a polite bow to the direction where Cinthia kept looking.
They sent another quest Cinthia said. Sofia made her understand that she should show her, making the hand sign aning Money, with a smug smile.
[|||||]: ()
And what does this one an? Sofia asked, perplexed.
I think theyre pouting
I see, very understanding, thank you for your generosity, Elder Death, just say the word and Ill be glad to accept your generosity next ti Cinthia, theres more, right? As inner disciples, we should help each other, right? Sofia encouraged with a wink.
This next one is from Sorrow, Cinthia announced as she resorted to using her fingers to manually move her system windows because there were so many to deal with.
[Crybaby]: Youre close, my dear daughter. Im happy for you. And do not be afraid to rely on your Elder brother.
Sofia smiled. Thank you. Im glad to be a part of your family.
Cinthia was curious, How can you still look so human if youre Sorrows Apostle? All the apostles Ive t were
You t multiple other Apostles already? Ah, well, to make it short, my Apostate ritual went a bit wrong, in a way I can take my Apostle form if I want but its only temporary and cos with a level debt.
I think Im starting to understand why they all want to talk to you, Vakaria
I just happened to run into a lot of things related to the Recessed recently. Its nothing special. Usually theyre speaking to you, not , so youre interesting in your own right, dont you think? Also, any more coins to steal from them?
Theres still a few This one is also one of my regular viewers, Dread.
[Twistyface] : Thank you for ending the suffering, he would thank you too. You can keep the change.
So this is how it is? I guess Dreads Apostle really was beyond saving then. Well, I gave them a swift death I didnt even know what I was doing back then, but you're welco, Dread. Whos next?
This entire exchange really feels wrong Next is [TallBro], I dont know which Recessed it is. They rarely show up. And then theres one last ssage from [TheJailed], I dont know their real title either.
Show then, I might be able to put a na on them.
[TallBro] : Ill give you sothing good if you return my essences to the hidden temple, small one. *maniacal laughter*
Thats Domination, Sofia affird as soon as she saw the ssage. Sure I will, if I manage to get them. It better really be sothing good or Ill make sure no one ever attempts your ritual again, she answered the ssage, unimpressed.
You could tell just like that? Oh, they answered you
[TallBro] : *Hearty laugh*
Sofia stared at the ssage then at Cinthia. ... Domination really paid to say that? Youre not making them pay enough.
I dont get to decide the price it costs them
But you do? Just reject the quests for the ssage with stingy rewards.
Thats Cinthia had to sit back down on the bone bed. You do understand that they are Gods, Vakaria?
Yes, and?
