Chapter 376 Chapter 375: G.o.d of Realm
It was still morning when everything happened, and Zach had the entire day to do his remaining tasks.
His demons were marking the shadow sigil to the players, which would take a considerable amount of time. While he had promised the NPCs to turn them into players by evening, so he had to start working on that.
Aria, Ninia, and Zach returned to the church while his demons kept marking the players. Zach advised Cerberus to watch over them and ensure no one is trying to take advantage of anything.
Currently, Zach was with Elina, doing something important. He looked into her eyes with a serious look on his face and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Elina nodded and said, "Yeah."
"You might regret choosing me in the future."
"I don"t want to think about the future. Right now, I think yours is the best choice. It has more benefits than the others."
"Alright."
Noah and Elina have been waiting for Zach"s return as they also want to join his religion.
"What about you, Noah?" he asked to make sure, even though he was already aware of what Noah would reply.
"Without a doubt! I have wanted to join your religion ever since you mentioned it. Elina was against it, but I managed to convince her somehow, and now she is ready too!" Noa replied gleefully.
"Well, I am glad that things worked out between you two, but there is something I need to tail you guys first." After a brief pause, Zach said, "I will be leaving this real soon."
"You are… ascending?" Noah asked with a gloomy face.
"Yeah. I have to."
"What about Aria and Victoria?" Elina asked with a calm yet curious look on her face.
"They are coming with me, of course."
"But their level is not the same as yours."
"I have a way to bypa.s.s that."
Noah gulped down anxiously and hesitantly asked, "Can"t you take us with you?"
Zach smiled at Noah and patted his head.
"I can take you with me if I want to. But I won"t. I don"t know what the second main realm is like, and it could be filled with dangers. And even if it"s not as dangerous, it is still risky to carry you two around with me," he said calmly.
"We won"t drag you down! I promise! Please don"t leave us behind!" Noah insisted with tears in his eyes.
"It"s not about that, Noah. You have to understand that there is a reason why there are level requirements in this game. If the G.o.ds wanted, they would have allowed anyone to ascend and descend without the level requirements. Still, they put requirements," Zach politely explained.
He was being as gentle and kind as he could to Noah and Elina. They reminded him of his little sister Zoe, and he would have done the same thing if she was in G.o.ds" Impact— even though she already possessed unfathomable powers.
"Listen…" Zach sat on his knees to look at Noah"s face directly. "I am going to take Ninia with me too, so you and Elina will be my only friends in this realm. Kayden and Misha are here, but they are not my followers. You two are.
I want you two to take care of everything in my absence. The supplies from the magic shop and the other things. I have also started working on the HP potions, so you can sell them or heal players if they come injured.
I have taken care of almost everything, so you two won"t have to worry about a single thing. And by chance, you can always message me if something goes wrong, and I will return here immediately.
This realm has become my realm. The NPCs from the rest of the kingdom of this realm will soon hear about how I turned my follower NPCs into players. They will also join my religion for that purpose, and my religion will spread like wildfire.
I honestly don"t expect much from the players as they are… well, humans. And we humans always forget about our benefactors when we don"t need them. Perhaps, it will be different here as they would need my resources more than often.
Not only that, but I will leave three of my strongest undead demons here, and they will protect this realm. They will stay in the shadows of this realm, watch everything, hear everything, and protect everything.
This realm will be free of the crimes or any type of s.h.i.+t you guys have gone through. I will ensure that this entire realm becomes my sanctuary, where the players can stay and feel safe.
I am the G.o.d of this realm."
"I understand, Master Zach. Please take care of yourself!"
"Of course."
"At first, I wasn"t sure if I should leave such a huge responsibility on a kid"s shoulder. Not because I was afraid of them messing up, but because I did not want to burden him. However, now that Elina is with him, everything will be fine," Zach uttered inwardly.
"Alright, now move your hands forward. I will mark you."
Elina and Noah raised their hands in the air with puzzled looks on their faces. They didn"t know anything about the mark, so it was a mystery to them.
Zach took off his right glove and held Noah"s hand. Then, he pressed his thumb on the back of his palm.
"Argh!" Noah grunted in pain.
"It will burn a little."
"I think you should mention it beforehand!" Elina shot a glare at Zach and remarked, "Even though you are a G.o.d, you don"t act like one."
"Isn"t that good?" he grinned. Then, he held Elina"s hand in the same manner and marked her too.
"Just wondering, if you can make MP potions and HP potions, can"t you make EXP potions? That way, the players wouldn"t have to work hard to level up," Elina asked curiously.
