' Oi!'

[ *Ping!* Yes~? ]

' So what world am I In?'

[ Answer: The typ-]

' And you better not say A Fantasy Sword & Magic World, the typical Isekai World. Because we both know that is bullshit.'

[ Answer: Due to some unknown random reason, The HolyEroGod a Lovecraft-like being, the most Lustful and Evil God, created [-World#69-] the world you are currently In, before taking a few billion years nap. A world filled with different and random Anime characters and beings. As of now: The world is just entering the Dawn Of Gods, the beginning of the Age Of Gods. So as "It" once said:" Good luck, may Lust and Love Guide you to your end~!"]

'... Great... My R.O.B is a little crazy...' I groaned and kept letting myself get pulled by Artoria.

After walking for quite some time, we found ourselves on a path through a large-looking stone hallway that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. At the sides of the new hallway is a see-through window showing wildlife. As we walk, I spotted a few animals: elk, owls, and a few small rodents scurrying across the damp, mossy forest floor. Walking a bit longer in the hallway, we came across a clearing with a vast pool of water through the window. There was an elk, with a fabulous rack of horns, drinking there, but as soon as he saw us he pranced off. The water seemed to glisten in the now full shining sunlight.

" Welcome everyone~" Appearing Inside the ancient-looking stone Temple, we heard a sooting yet beautiful young female voice around Artoria's age.

" Please step forward UnAwakens." Standing In front of a Goddess-looking obsidian Alter is a very familiar beautiful lady. Around us are 11 more obsidian Alters. Six Gods and six Goddess all In total.

*Shoosh...*

Letting go of Artoria's hand, both I and Alice stepped up, one with a bored yet emotionless expression and the other too happy for her own good.

Looking down at us is a tall and very beautiful and elegant young woman with fair white skin, red eyes. She has long straight hair, half of it being tied into a wide bun resembling a bow, and the rest is left to flow into two individual divided sections. Her hair is white and reaches her knees, where it fades into an ashy color. Her bun is accessorized with a black hairpin, and she wears a red tassel decoration atop her head which lays between her eyes.

She wears a white, high-necked sleeveless Qipao dress with side slits that reach up to the thighs. It is decorated with a fur neck wrap around the collar, yellow patterns with gold banding, and black lace along the edge of the dress with her weapon on her left midriff. She wears a pair of black high gloves that extend long enough to reach the ruffled extensions stretched from her upper arms. Her gloves are decorated with copper patterns and claw attachments on the thumb, ring and pinkey fingers which act as fingernail guards.

The side of her left thigh has a red tattoo. The side slit in her dress reveals a pair of black shorts with diamond-cut patterns. She wears a pair of brown heels, with another tattoo around her right ankle. She also carries a smoking pipe with her. Her outfit, Gold Leaf and Pearly Jade, is described as having intricate embroidery which is the hallmark of this graceful dress.

' Ningguang...' I hummed remembering who she is and not recalling where she is from. A very odd feeling, If I do might add.

" Great. Now please follow me~" Smiling elegantly and delightfully, the Ningguang-looking lady flicked her wrist at us and walked down another long black-stone hallway, with us following right behind. All 40 of us, after some counting, of course.

' These are some great children...' I added, a few feet behind our Guide. Truly these children I'm with are quiet and serious-looking, as If they are about to determine their life...

... Oh wait... They are...

" You come here often~?" I asked boredly with my hands In my pockets to our beautiful Guide.

" I do. About you?" Glancing at me amusingly, she simply said, smiling ever-so-slightly.

" Na, first time here."

" And how are you liking It, If I may ask?" She inquired of me, smiling even more.

" It's... different here. A kind of different I like." I explained, also smiling.

" And that's a good thing?" She answered with a profound look In her beautiful red eye.

" Eh... It depends on the person, In all honesty. Some hate different and some others like myself love It. One might say, I love the unknown where many-many others are so afraid of." I once more explained, and then skipped ahead of her smiling ear-to-ear:" It's so exciting~ The unknown that is~"

"""Hehehe!""" Hearing laugher, I looked behind me and found 60% of the children are smiling and chuckling at me now, instead of being serious and anxious, nervous, uncomfortable, and overall looking very afraid.

--

' He's smart.' The Guide quietly thought to herself.

' He can see the children are uneasy and scared. And made a plan to lighten up their Spirits.' Looking at the smiling and happy-looking children behind her, she smiled also:' So there are more people like him still here, In this messed up world...'

" How fascinating..."

--

' Eh? Who just made a great misunderstanding about me?' I hummed looking around...

Only to hear from our beautiful Guide lightly:" How fascinating..."... Oh... she did.

*Rumble!*

" Welcome to the Awakening Ceremony, children." Standing In front of all of us, is 12 different paths, with various types of Gods and Goddess representing the path.

" It starts now~!" As she said this, I blinked my eyes and found myself In an empty black room, that looks like a mini Temple, with a white floating Triangle at the end of it.

" Oh~ I finally have an Apostle." Slowly but surely came a voice.  The voice was neither old nor young, male nor female. But it was the voice of a past, present, and future.

Not making an expression, I asked," Goddess Morrigan?" And yawned a little.

" Oh~ Those dogs gave out my name? How nice of them." As she said this, my head suddenly started spinning.

...When It stopped spinning, a another person: another being is standing In from of me.

" Hello, First Apostle of mine~" As expected a Goddess, this otherworldly beautiful mature girl is the prettiest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen In my two lives.

' Great Gods... I think I outdid myself...' I hummed to myself, gazing at a Goddess that would fit the word 'perfect'.
