Learning Atratin, 2nd Order God and the furnishing of the Domain

[This way mister, oh and by the way, can i ask you what your name is? Mine is by the way Asami.]

"Should i tell her my real name? No too dangerous. Let's just use Nori, i won't see her again anyway again."

[My name is Nori, pleased to meet you Asami.]

[Do you want to know the meaning of my name?]

[Why would i?]

[Because it is the tale of the Fox Clan, and i think you should know about them since you can talk just like the Fox clan, at least i can smell them on you.]

[The Fox Clan?] Shin asked.

[Yeah, do you know about the tale of the five founders?] she asked while now looking at him intently.

[Who are the five founders?] he asked interested.

[It is said that they were the first Fox Demis, or more like, they were the ancestors of our Fox Clan.]

[The First Fox People? How interesting, how old is this tale?]

[Don't know] she said while shrugging.

[But i heard my Grandpa once saying that it was already over 5 Million years old. You know, it's well, for me and others quite a long time and it's really unbelievable that this story existed till today.]

[Yeah i think so too. Who would have thought that there is such a nice story. Well then, you said you would teach me Atratin, where are we going anywhere Miss Asami?]

[Wait? Don't you want to know the names of these five people?]

[Oh the names of them are known? Well then, please tell me.]

[Alright, the first one was Ichirou, also called the First Son. The second one was the Glorious Hero Akio. Asami, the one i was named after, came next, she was called the Morning beauty. and then there are also Kimiko and Hisashi, the Noble Child and the Long-Lived.]

[Why do they have these special titles behind them?]

[Well it is said that they earned them when they did something, like Ichirou, he was called the First Son because he was presumably the very first Fox Clan. And Akio was called the Glorious Hero because of his achievements in War against the Humans at that time.]

[So why is Hihashi called the Long-Lived?] Shin asked curiously.

[Well, it's said that he found a way to live forever on and on without dying from old age.]

[Is that so? Then that means he is still alive and well right now?]

[Maybe, it is a tale after all, so how should we know if it is true or not.]

[Alright, i can guess the other two so you don't need to say it, well then wanna start practising already?]

[Yes Mister Nori.]

~~~ after 7 hours of intensive training with strict teachings if miss Asami the day came to an end.

"Once in my life i am very grateful for being able to learn languages relatively easily. And in addition to that because i am a God and have much more Intelligence i can memorise these things much better."

[You are amazing Mister Nori, for your first time learning Atratin i would have thought you would at least need a few days of time to learn the most basic words, but look at you know already knowing more than half of the basic words that are there. Do you have a natural talent or do you just have a very good memory?]

[Can't tell you Asami, well then, i will excuse myself, we talked the whole day today and you teached me. I think you should go back to your family and help them, they are a little bit overwhelmed working alone like this.]

[Huh? Oh shit, i completly forgot them. Thank you Nori for mentioning it to me. The next lesson will be whenever you want to, just tell me and we can do the next session.]

[Alright Asami, good night to you.] Shin bent over and bowed a little bit as an gesture of thanking her, after that he went upstairs and in the eyes of Asami went sleeping.

~~~

[If i didn't know she was a Human i would have thought she would be a Demon!! When she is lecturing it is like she is torturing someone, very scary!! I think if there is a method to change the race of someone then she would be best to change into a Demon! That would fit her personality pretty well.]

[Well whatever, im thankfull though that she is helping me anyway.]

"Should i go to the Market and test my knowledge now?"

[Alright, Ari?]

{Yes Master?}

[Did something noteworthy happen?]

{No Master, the only thing that happened was that you know have the complete Fox Clan under you.}

[Oh nice, well then anything else?]

{No}

[Okay. Did you do what i asked you to do?]

{Yes Master, I already found the 2nd Order God and measured his abilities. Do you want to see his status Panel?}

[Show me]

[Hmm...he really is much stronger than me,except in Intelligence but well...whatever.]

[Well anyway, thank you Ari.]

{No problem Master, it was your Order so of course i would do what you say.}

"Should i try my luck? I mean, i found out that others seem to be casting Spells with Mana and don't try to use Divine Power. And the spells i cast with Faith Points are also much stronger than normal, even if it is a normal Fireball spell, it can have the power like that of an atomic bomb when i infuse just enough Faith Power, I think about 40 would be enough already or no, maybe 50."

"Alright, Ari?"

{What is it Master?}

"Where is Antonio now?"

{He is currently at the Market undercover, i don't know why he is undercover.}

"Well then, let's pay him a visit and talk with him, i hope we will be able to talk and not fight."

"Hopefully i can escape when i find out he is too strong. Well the most unfortunate thing that could happen is that i need to go into my domain while fighting and thus exposing my Domain to him."

~~~ at the market ~~~

"Where is his location Ari? Point it out on the Map please. Thank you."

As soon as he said that a red dot appeared on the Map right on the location of the market. It was only a few meter beside him to his surprise.

Shin turned around and started walking into the direction of a man who weared a hood and a black mantle.

Then Shin started to speak in half Aastash and Atratin.

[Excuse me sir, could you happen "§%&# search for something %"!?=%# ?]

(Excuse me sir, could you happen to search for something specific?)

The man only looked at him weirdly and then suddenly looked at Shin with surprised eyes, as if he saw something.

He then answered in perfect Aastash.

[Why are you, a God walking here?] He looked at Shin warily, ready to attack anytime Shin moved wrongly.

[Oh you can speak Aastash, that's good, well then City Mayor, i want to ask you something, i will pay for the information i want to ask you. And don't worry you are stronger than me so i won't fight against you since i problably can't win anyway.] Shin lied straight into his face as he was sure he could fight him, well, at least he could withstand the attacks of him.

After a short period of hesitation he winked his hands as a sign to follow him.

Shin readily agreed but also was on his guard at any time.

They walked for 5 minutes till the Mayor stopped and turned around again, this time he was looking a bit arrogant and put the disguise he had wore at the market away.

[Who are you? How dare you interrupt my work?]

[As i said Mayor, i wanted to trade with you, you will answer me some information and i will give you some Divine Power.] After Shin said the word "Divine Power" Antonio immediatly became a little interested.

[Oh? How much Divine Power do you want to pay? We can trade, but the quality and amount of information you can get depends on how much Divine Power you have on you.]

[How much do you want in exchange for the method on how to advance to the 2nd Order God?] Shin immediatly asked what he wanted.

[You want to know that?!?!?]

Antonio was extremly surprised by this since you could look that up without much effort, the method is inside the public library but to get the method you need to proof that you are a 1st Order God. You need to unlock it by unleashin the God Aura on you.

"How come this boy doesn't know this? Well i don't really care, if i can get some extra Divine Power from him, i will wring him dry and destroy this idiot, he is too dumb to be a god anyway, to know that the Method is in the Library is common knowledge here. What an Idiot!"

[Well then...how much is it Mister Antonio?]

"He knows my name? Not many know my name, only few people, well whatever, i will kill him anyway after he gives me my Divine Power." Antonio already regarded the Faith Points/Power Shin had as his property.

[The Cost is 10,000 Divine Power.]

[Only that much? Well then, here you go.] Shin readily handed over 50 Faith Power to him.

[That little?] Antonio spoke out in shock when he saw the huge amount of Divine Power in front of him.

"Who the heck is he? How can he take out that much Divine power that simply?! I would have to gather that much for 5 Years if i wanted to get so much through my believers alone!!"

[Sir? Can you give me my Method now?]

Antonios idea of killing him immediatly vanished when he came to his senses again and quickly nodded, he didn't want to offend any Bigshot who might have a big force behind him.

[Mister, this is the Method.] Antonio took out a little Book and gave it to Shin.

This man could make him disappear easily by paying a slave trader with enough money or an assasin guild.

[Mister, i think you misheard me, i meant it was only worth 100 Divine Power. not 10,000. Please take the money back.] Antonio found an excuse to give the money back.

[It is not much, you can just take it and answer me one more thing. can you tell me some general information of the strenght level regarding Gods?]

[Oh of course, i would love to.] The behavior of the former City Mayor completly disappeared and was exchanged by a man who was humble in front of another person. If someone doesn't know that Antonio is a City Mayor, you couldn't tell him apart from a simple man.

[Generally when gods rise one Order, they get a strenght boost of 5 times. There are also some cases were Gods get a Strenght Boost of 6 or 7 times. But this is rare since a specific physique is needed or more like aptitude. These Gods can even become rulegods with enough luck, maybe even Godkings, but this is rare since even for them this is a hurdle they can't just skip easily.]

[When undergoing an uprising in strenght sometimes you will be tested by the will of this world, when that happens it means two things, either you are an outstanding talent that the world favors or the world is on guard against you since you plan to do something to it. This happens with Demon Gods most of the Time since they are more evil than other creatures. The Will of the World balances the Higher and Higher world, so that no race will be extinguished but also no race will have the upper hand.]

[Alright, thank you. I understand now. So there are races that ar easier to gain strenght and harder to gain strenght is that right?]

[Basically yes, the race with the highest Boost in strenght is the Protoss. They have also the current God King as their Backer, because of that they are rather arrogant and live in seclusion and don't meet any other race. The Protoss can get a strenght boost of at least 6 and at most 9 times. They are the only race that is known to have a maximum strenght boost of 9 times. But i heard that even in their culture, the people who achieved a strenght boost of 9 times are rare and a once in a millenia genius.]

[Alright, thank you for you answering my questions, here this is for you, as a thank you.] Shin gave him another 5 Faith Power.

[Thank you mister, may i know your name?]

[My name? Oh excuse me i haven't introduced me yet. My name is Nori. Pleased to make your aquintance Antonio Bellandi.]

[Also pleased to meet you Nori.]

[Well then, i will go now, maybe we will see each other someday again.]

[Alright then, take care Mister Nori!]

After Antonio said that, he saw how Shin vanished in front of him, it was a spell that Shin wanted to test out a while ago, the effect is the increase in speed and Shin directly used 10 Faith Power to test it out.

When he moved one step he looked around and saw that everyone else looked like time stood still. He could move freely and without any hindrance but when someone else looked at him he would only see him vanish without any trace to be found.

[Whoaa...is this the effect with such a simple spell and only 10 Faith Power? It's imply abnormal. It's like i stopped time.]

[Well i think it should have been quite a good departure in front of that Antonio. He should be stunned by this. After all, for him it looked like i vanished without a trace. Even if his Agility Stat is over 3 million, but when i used the spell just now, my agility was already over 20 Million in the Blink of an eye.]

[Well then, im done here, i will go now back to my domain, im already inside the Higher World for more than 2 Days and i still need to make all the Maps and upgrades and all. Oh man, what a hassle.]

|

~~~ Shin's Domain ~~~

|

[Oh now that im back i think i forgot something...but what was it?]

{Master...}

[What is it Ari?]

{You wanted to buy furnishing and decoration for the Domain as you found it to bother you that it is so empty inside here.}

[That was it!!]

[Thank you Ari, well then i back right away.]

|

~~~ Higher World market ~~~

|

After Shin disappeard from the Domain, he once again went towards the market and looked for some decoration as well as other things. He soon found some furniture that looked nice and immediatly bought it with Divine Power what frightened the shop owner a little bit.

What Shin bought was a large bed with curtains, a few candle holders, some plants as well as trees that are not that big. The Bed was a bit Old looking, if it was back on eath you could say that it looked like a canopy bed. but it was really old looking, nothing like the ones back on earth, but Shin thought it was nice looking. It gave him a nice feeling.

This is about the Bedroom,

He planned to make some walls inside his Domain and divide it into Bedroom, Living room, toilet (even if he didn't need one since he could simply stop going and still would be ok.), dining room and the kitchen. Shin wanted to live like he was inside a house. that would easen his mentality.

The next thing he bought was few tables as well as stair, some tableware, some more candles as well as lanterns. He also needed a couch to relax. Some pillows and a carpet were also bought because it suited the old style touch.

As for the Dining room, he bought a stove as well as some ingredience to cook for himself.

He also bought countless other decoration to make the room more lifely and les simple. Cabinets and closets were also bought, each for the kitchen and bedroom.

The closet was espicially important to Shin because he felt that it was time to change his clothing once in a while. Since he came to this world, he only wore the same thing everytime over and over again. Not even once he changed his things.

He could dispel the stench but it is still uncomfortable to wear for him knowing that it is dirty.

After he bought all the things needed he went to the shops one by one again to get the furniture, because he couldn't just say that these were for his God's Domain, he only said to not ask questions and transportet them away with the space magic, at least that was what the shop owners thought it was.

~~~

[Finally, i didn't think this would take almost 4 hours, it's already dark now. all in all i spent about only 60 Faith Power, Not realy much. It looks like im quite rich in this live, and i can get more than 20 times of what i spent today in one day.]

[Well then now i still need to go and get the last ingredients that are already prepared by the Shop owner.]

Shin went and got the more than a few thousands Kg of vegetables, meat, fruits and other ingredients to cook his food.

|

~~~ Shin's Domain ~~~

|

[Finally back, alright,...i should put these things away first and make the walls and all so that i can decorate it quickly afterwards. The forming of the wands should be done easily by the Faith Power i have.]

Shin immediatly used some Faith Power to make the walls. He made 6 rooms, the first one was the Hallway. it was 5 meter wide and 50 meter long, along the wall were 5 doors arranged. The first room to the right was the toilet, it was only 5 m² big and the toilet was enchanted by Shin with a spell that would make the faeces produced into dirt with very much nutrition. That way it would act as a fertilizer for the plants he wanted to plant.

The second room to the right was the Bedroom. The bedroom is 15 m² big and has the canopy bed as well as a carpet and some plants inside it. Some shelves and books or paintings were also included in the decoration.

The first room to the right was the dining room, it was equipped with 6 chairs as well as a big round table. in the middle was a little fountain of water and other drinks that could be taken whenever wanted. Shin made it so that the spring wouldn't be empty and won't rot, the drinks inside it were completly clean. Who would want to drink something dirty after all. It would be refreshed everytime because a special magic he found, it allowed to syntesize water or other simple drinks through the law that was everywhere. It was made easily with the Faith Power, otherwise it would be much more exhausting doing just that.

From the dining room led a door to the next room, the kitchen, the two rooms were connected with a passage so that the food could be brought over immediatly and didn't need to be brought from the hallway inside.

The Kitchen was a little bit more simply furnished than the other rooms, there were all kinds of utensils as well as a stove and a cooking pot.

The food was preserved inside an extra room that was connected to the kitchen. The room was enchanted with and Ice spell and a prolonging spell that would make the food longer lasting.

The last room was the living room. It was equipped with all that it needs, a couch, some plants as deco, a few pillows, some candles as well as lanterns that were connected with each other, and could be turned on and of all at once or either individually. The plants were hanging from the roof and a mysterious atmosphere was generated in the whole living room. it was full of things but at the same time it was manageable to see without thinking that there was chaos inside the room.

All that took him more than two days....

{Master, some people may be suspicious when you don't come out today. You are spending already 2 days on the decoration of the Domain.}

[Really? Already? Well then...Ah~~] As Shin stood up from the couch he sighned and went towards the entrance of the house. He made it so that if he thought of leaving the domain, it would become a portal that lead outside it and if he didn't want to leave the domain and just go outside the house, he just could go outside into the currently still in darkness laid surroundings.

~~~ The Fox Inn ~~~

|

[Oh Mister Nori? You are outside your room again? Are you ready to learn again?] Asami asked when she saw him coming down the Stairs slowly.

[Hmm yes, but first i would like to eat something, what do you have on the menu?]

[Let's see, this is our menu for today.]

~~~

- Food

Breakfast :Fried Eggs - Sides : Oatcake

Lunch : Cow Soup with mushrooms - Desert : Chocolate

Dinner : Sausage - Beef

- Drink

Beverage : Mead Housemade

Spirit : Absinthe

Other : Water

~~~

[What do you want to eat?]

[Hmm...i would like to order the Fried Eggs, with the Sides as well as the Lunch one.]

[And what to drink?]

[I would like to try your Housemade Mead, im curious how it tastes.]

[As you wish, please wait a moment, i will prepare your Food!] Asami went towards the Stove and began preparing some dishes. The young girl that brought him to his bath the other day today brought him his Mead that he ordered.

After 5 minutes his food was ready and Asami brought it to him with an entusiastic smile on her face.

[Here you are Nori, i will get ready, you just eat in peace, when you are ready you can come to the room we were in the last time, you still now where it was right?]

[Yes Asami, don't worry, thank you in advance. Hahaha]

[No Problem, im surprisingly happy with teaching someone, i never thought it woul be so fun to fo this, maybe i should become a teacher? No, im already too old for that.]

Shin thought about it, she was indeed a good teacher, but if she ever were to teach kids....im sure she would traumatize them for the rest of their lives. Yes, she can teach, it is also very good, but it is a mental torture for the ones being teached.

"Mhhh...this smells really yummy, alright then, first the fried egg and oatcake....hmmmm really yummy, much better than the ones i eat back on eath. And the Mead, it is really strong, but also very good, i like it, I need to have a stock of this in my domain!!"

[Asami?]

[What is it Nori?]

[I want to buy this Mead on stock!]

[What?]

[I want to buy large quantities of this Mead you made. It is unbelievable delicious and good!]

[Well...ehh...ahh..thank you for the compliment, i invented the recipe myself. Of course you can buy it, how much do you want?] Asami answered a little shy since she didn't expect shin to like the Mead this much.

[I want all you have of it!]

[Did you say all?!?!?] Asami, now stunnded asked again with an unbelievable look on her face.

[Yes, how much does it cost? I will buy it at double the price!!]

[Thank, Thank you Mister Nori, I will immediatly prepare the amount it costs. please wait a moment!]

[Stop calling me Mister, Asami, we called each other without these honorifics already so it's fine, don't worry about it.]

[Alright Nori, thank you.]

[Well, I just like the Mead, that's all.]

[Please wait a bit then...]

After she said that she ran towards the warehouse to count how much this would all cost.
