Load 18: Beginning of the Catasthrophes

The creator of the game who founded the Boundless corporation, who calls himself 'Pondemallion', and is rumored to have an insane personality and sadistic tendencies for creating the theme 'Hell mode'.

It was even awarded by the world that it is the hardest game mode to ever exist. Even if the survival quest after a hundred years was included.

In 'Hell mode' all kinds of disasters, whether it is natural catastrophes or dangers that other countries will bring forth or even sudden monster outbreaks, at least one will appear.

Every. Single. Day.

However, since the creator of the AI is also 'Pondemallion' all kinds of disaster will happen every month for the other themes of the game.

For 'Peaceful life' a disaster will appear every three months.

Fortunately, the first three are always on the same place.

And while the next disasters will be random, what will appear will still be the same. It will only be unpredictable once a year has gone by.

The currently most powerful nations in the world: Western Beast Federation, Everblack kingdom, and the Aelius empire.

It was said in the game community that it was a type of restraint for those who wants to take the easy way out. A setback of sorts to make sure that players won't just pick the powerful countries.

...

- Oh, that's the precious book of the first saint!

"You know about <Endless page>?"

- Yes, master. We were made by the same person after all.

'RIght, the Goddess of Land's lover who is known as the legendary blacksmith back in the Age of Blood'

"Then, does it also speak?"

- Not at all. Father, our creator, was still inexperienced when he made it.

"Thanks for the information"

Mel placed the book in a bowl on top of the table and raised her hand.

In one swift movement, she cut her wrist filling the entire bowl with her blood.

[The artifact <Endless page> have absorbed your blood]

'Fucking creators! Why did they had to put this condition in the game!?'

[The artifact <Endless page> has deem you as its new owner. It will now be bounded to you until you die]

[The artifact <Endless page> will atuomatically absorb a liter of your blood every 24 hours]

While it has infinite number of pages just like its name says, it requires blood for it to be use and for the bearer to keep using it.

Vampires who could multiply their own blood, the only race who could wield the book other than the Saint of the Holy kingdom due to its requirement, cannot use it because it is an object with high divinity that they cannot take.

As she is possessing her avatar, an immortal, Mel won't have to worry about dying due to blood loss. Instead she will be having to live with the pain of having her blood suck out of her every day.

After being recognized by the artifact, Mel spent the next several hours transferring everything she know about the game into the book.

The important individuals that will show up, events, secret dungeons, and many more before she eventually forgets about it.

Knock, knock.

The door opened as Lavella came in with a tray of refreshments.

"Here are some relaxing herbal tea, your grace"

"Good. Did you rest well?"

"Yes, your grace. Thank you for worrying about this lowly one"

'Of course I would be worried. The chances of my kingdom being destroyed will rise by at least 40% if you die!'

"Lavella"

"Yes, your grace?"

"Call for the envoys of the Western Beast Federation. All of them"

"Understood. I suppose it is time for them to die"

.... Huh?

Lavella then left the room after bowing.

Ignoring what Lavella just said, Mel shifted her focus onto another matter.

"Red"

- Yes, master?

"Can you see what is written in here?"

I am the one asking but I'm not really sure whether he can see it without having an eye. Not to mention knowing whether he could see anything written in my book will tell me whether others can see it as well.

- Not at all!

Though he cannot see what is inside the book, this just verrified that he does have the ability to see.

'How though?'

Ten minutes later, the envoy of the Western Beast Federation along with the royal prince and princess who are representing them entered Mel's chambers.

"We greet the Goddess of all Bitches!"

The said as they knelt down.

"You may all raise your head"

They raised their head and look at Mel who covered herself with a thick blanket.

"I am sure you all are wondering why I called for you all here, but I would like to inform you that something will happen in the near future in your homeland. Hence I will permit you to go now"

All of them whispered to each other wondering what Mel was talking about.

Princess Lucy raised her hand.

"Your holiness, may we know what this 'something' is for you to say that we can go back?"

"Of course! You see, little one, the biggest dam you all made in a certain place will break apart. If you go now, you might just save everyone in that place

Not to mention, your economy can still be save"

The envoy of the Western Beast Federation was shock to hear such news.

And the fact that it is coming out of the mouth of a Goddess makes it even more credible, which left them silent.

"Do you not trust my words?

"....."

"You know, I have no reason to lie. I am a Goddess who values all life, that is why I am telling you all this"

Bam!

The princess smashed her forehead onto the ground, leaving her brother and the rest of the envoy in surprise.

"I, first born of King Arnorld Stein Belmont and Queen Chloe Lam Belmont, princess Lucy Stein Belmont thank you with all my heart on behalf of my people for the information you have given us to have a chance to prevent the death of my people"

Hearing the heartfelt speech from the princess, the doubtful beasts bowed down, with their foreheads on the ground.

"We thank the Goddess of all Bitches for the chance you have given us!!!"

They then raised their heads and looked at Mel with eyes full of gratitude.

"You may now go"

"Understood, your holiness"

Princess Lucy stood up and left the room after bowing once more. The rest them followed suit and did the same thing, everyone except the prince.

"Are you not going to go with your sister?"

"I also would like to go back as soon as I can, but..."

Prince Aster raised his head.

"I can leave it to my capable sister for I still have a duty as a prince, who will be responsible for my peoples lives, here"

He may be a muscle head but he can think straight when it comes to important times like this.

"Fine. I like people like that. You may stay here as the sole representative of your Federation"

Aster left the room after bowing once more.

Mel then removed the blanket covering her body when the doors closed.

"Ugh, my body is killing me"

Due to being too focused writing down information, her whole body was stiff which then became numb that wearing clothes became difficult.

- Master, you should exercise more! I can protect you from attacks but I can't do anything about cramps or anything like that.

"Yeah... I'll do that... Tomorrow... ugh"

I feel pathetic having to hear it from someone who has a child like voice.

[The Goddess of Land is asking "What are you planning?"]

"Nothing much, I am just trying to save your people. Is all"
