Chapter 17 - Primary Mountain
[Time Remaining: 2 minutes]
The surroundings were still halted as if it is a 3D photo.
With each drop of the second, Raj could feel his non-existent heart pumping rapidly.
One minute…
30 seconds…
2 seconds…
0 second…
[Supreme Realm is officially begun!]
All of a sudden, the world around him starts working normally.
Suddenly, he could hear the chirps of the birds, feel the blow of winds, and smell the fragrance of flowers in the air.
All of them were too realistic, and the environment was too perfect.
"It can't be only 97% realism."
He could smell and even feel. He touched the oval-shaped stone, sensing its roughness and coldness. He then sniffed hard. This time, he smelled both the strange fragrance of the flowers and the bitter scent of the stone itself.
It's very real… Raj sighed and touched the ritual platform. The stones felt so real. The granules on their surface were identical to reality.
"It must be 100% realism," Raj affirmed.
Raj soon rose from the platform. He looked around and realized that the oval-shaped stones were above a large dark black boulder.
Many words were written on that boulder.
Still, Raj's gaze falls on the most enchanting words, 'The Mountain God'
"Their art in Scripture is truly amazing."
Raj could vaguely understand that it would take almost a week to write something like this with only primitive means.
On the ground, there are many stone tablets, and something is written on all of them.
Raj got close to a nearby stone table and read the text written on it.
"Great God, please help my mother; she is gradually falling sick day by day. My friends say that she will soon close her eyes for eternity. Please save my mother, just as she has shielded and protected me."
~ Kai'sa
"A request from a child!"
Raj thought for a bit and fled towards another stone tablet.
"O Miracle Worker, please save my husband from the evil-doer."
~Simasi
"Again, request."
Raj took a glance at the stone tablet beside the one he was reading.
"Dear Moutain God,
My heart is pure; my intentions clear. I ask for your guidance and your help in finding my soul mate, my most perfect partner.
~Romio
"Ah! Someone thinks that God is a Love Guru, and he is operating a dating site for the singles."
Raj sighs upon seeing the mindless desire. How can he even arrange a love when this God is himself single in his entire life.
"Hard one!"
Raj's thinking process and reading speed are extraordinary due to being a God's Particle. So, it does barely take 5 minutes to read and understand the texts in all stone tablets.
He concluded that most of them are requests. Some of them are the desires of people. Only a few are the selfless request.
However, there were two stone tablets that caught his eyes.
One of them was somewhat smaller than the others, and another one was an ordinary leaf instead of a stone table.
Their appearance wasn't that caught his eyes, but the words that are written on it.
In the small tablet, there is only one line written on it.
"Great God, please take care of yourself!"
~ Clarä
"It is the only request where someone concern about God." Raj murmurs, but somehow he connects the word 'God' to himself.
Whereas the words on the leaf were written by a miserable kid, the words were relatively hard to understand.
"Grrrrrt gddddd, Isss I m idiot."
There were simply these wrecked words on the leaf. Moreover, it was written in blood.
Raj has somehow understood the content of it and the identity of the person.
"A Retard kid!"
After reading all the stone tablets, Raj realizes that his worshipers are not humans, but they are somehow connected to humans.
Moreover, they live in misery and anguish. Each day brings horror to them.
All of them are the people who were not accepted by any society. They were restricted from worshipping any god, so they themselves created a god in the name of the Mountain that always supported them.
"Primary Mountain!"
A mountain where low-class people and impure breed reside.
A mountain where people are used as livestock and sex toys for nobles.
According to the most elderly person in this village, every year, young nobles visit this mountain and let their thirst run wild without guilt.
They r*pe women, young girls even sometimes older women.
They didn't stop here but also torture some of them to death.
Raj read a stone tablet where a man wrote his tragic life.
He had to r*pe a woman for their fun. If not, they will let a man do the same with his wife.
Some of them wished to take revenge, but they didn't have any power to do so.
Most of the young nobles were mages or Dragon Warrior. Some of them even had the blessing of their God.
"They are just like me, scared and helpless."
In his previous life, he was scared of high-status people. With only one word, they can easily destroy his future.
Besides, he had a burden of his family. At that time, he couldn't act recklessly.
He was the same as them, a helpless being.
As Raj was thinking about their pitiful life, he notices one of the strings out of 500 suddenly disconnected from him.
A perplexed countenance emerges on his bright circular body that is met with a sudden notification.
[A swallow devotee is dead!]
[10 Faith points decreased!]
"What!"
The Supreme Realm has just started, and one of his devotees is already dead.
With the decrease of 10 Faith Points, he could notice the weakness in his body. It wasn't much. Yet, it was considerable.
Soon, Raj again feels a loss of connection with a devotee.
[A swallow devotee is dead!]
[10 Faith points decreased!]
"Fu*k! I have to do something!"
But before doing anything, he has first to know what is happening.
Unawarely, Raj transferred his consciousness to one of the devotees through the string that connected him with his devotees.
Shortly after that, Raj could see the scene in front of a particular devotee through the devotee's eyes.
Massacre!
