Chapter 7 - My First Believer

Ahhhh 'where am I, I'm sure I was fighting those wolves a while ago' I groaned then looked around seeing myself in a shoddy looking house which carried a chill and had some holes beaming light through at least i think it's one.

I then turned to notice a some young kids peeking through the door looking towards me " Sup"

They then ran out screaming something while I got up heading to the door as if they saw something suprising or some monster

I came out then saw that this place looked , it just looked decrepid whatever building structures these were looked like they'd fall apart any second, people dressed in dirty rags with tears, with cheeks sunken and skinny looked they would fall if the wind blew past them, they started looking at me murmuring looking anxious

A man then came up to me and started speaking gibberish or whatever language they have while i confusingly try to correlate what he's actually saying to me

This was until i finally got a new notification

The man continued " I hope your alright you lucked out surviving those beasts and good thing I found you while i was hunting at the river bed"

I was suprised finally understanding what he said and kindly responded" Oh thanks for that it could have been very bad and thanks for your hospitality for helping a stranger like me"

The man then continued " Oh no worries, but what are you doing out here in these cursed woods, people or whatever you are don't survive long here" the man asked while staring at myself

But I never really looked at myself. I'm short, I have long bunny like airs but straightened up like a cat, long silver hair, a black spiral horn on the middle of my forehead and two cat tails mixed with a hint of fox and rabbit with lots of fluff.

Damn not even i know what to call myself except unique maybe

" Ahh yes i got into some situations and you know the rest" I sighed

" Well it's alright you can stay here as long as you want just don't venture to other places now since the ceremonies have started" the man said while looking sad

" Ceremony, what ceremony is that" I asked

The man looked surprised and said " Oh you don't new the God choosing ceremony, this is the first one in which new gods chose a location to settle and maybe form a brand new place for the people they want to call home , it revealed to us in a dream that gods would descend maybe we would be lucky somewhere close to us would be chosen"

'That must be me and other pieces of crap, meaning that their going to set up their groups and such with those assholes you call gods"

" So why isn't one of them setting up here or why aren't you guys moving rather than staying at this place" I said while looking around this disheveled place

The man sighed " You don't know what this place is do you, there's no god to go under for protection for us we are either seen as cannon fodder or wastes you avoid like the plague even the children here aresubjected to it, so we just try our best to survive as other places treat us worst than animals"

"Why though" I asked

" That because we are inepts and don't have any form of talent to speak of even especially if you were to marry someone that is inept your children may have a chance to become one that's why a village such as ourselves was formed to avoid others as we are seen a cursed by the world" The man spoke solemnly about everything I asked and more and I finally got the full story

' This is not even a village this is a reject settlement and they face difficulties everyday and the gods ignore them because they don't have mana,aura or a talent that's useful to them , they are basically hunted and treated like trash even turned into slaves if found and have to hide like rats even the children are not spared'

DAMNIT!!!

DAMNIT!!!

DAMNIT!!!

Their own people would do that to them no they arent't even considered people. How can everyone live like this and raise their children to fear others? This is wrong, no I have to do something but what or these people would just be living not having a life.

We ended our conversation with him telling me that some cube -like things are located in the house which they must have found when i washed up and he told me I could explore the village.

While I was exploring I saw some people walking around. The atmosphere was bleak until I heard the sound of children laughing and I saw them playing and I smiled remebering when me and my grandparents used to play like that.

I walked up and said " Hey guys what are you playing"

They looked stunned at my appearance and then said " W.w.were playing knights and mages" A little girl ran up and said excitely even when dressed in rags only a little less skinner than the adults.

" Why do you want to be one though" I asked

" Because they're strong and I can protect everyone here" the little girl said with no hint of hesitation in which i smiled and she then pointed to my ears and tail saying " Can,can i touch them" looking into the cute eyes of the little girl i bent down and gestured yes.

She started petting my ears saying it's soft and the others looked like they wanted to try too so I gestured to them , and in a few minutes I felt like I was at a petting zoo except I'm the pet honestly it feels weird like extra appendages and ticklish when touched.

I got up and left saying we'll play next time but thinking now this place feels more like a home than my original world so maybe now I'm going to stay here and make this my home base and make these my people after all my grandpa used to say that as long as you genuine thats the real foundation for a home.

Along my tour of the place I could hear someone praying hoping for some miracle to reprieve them from their situation and even walked by seeing a little house with some childish drawing on it.

I peeked at the door crack seeing a young boy kneeling down praying to beside a little girl laying on a bed.

I heard him saying " please,please anyone, any god out there please help my sister I'm begging you" he was crying while saying this with a dull look and a weakening voice

I entered saying " Why don't your parents give her something she looks like she's in a lot of pain" while saying this i put my hand on the girls head and she's burning up and coughing

The young boy looked at me and and sniffled " They can't they died when they went out looking for food, and no one has herbs to help so if your sick you just have hope your lucky enough"

The little girls weakly spoke " Don't worry big brother I'm fine, it will go away soon and I'll feel better" she smiled while saying this to her brother making him cry while gritting his teeth

This is worse than I thought. These children are going to die if things don't change, well since I already said I'll make these people mine. I have to make sure their living situation changes.

I went outside and used seed creation taking off one D.E and then used Divine energy to modify the plant making it absorb the essence of nature then I scanned it trying to attuned it with the intent to to heal .

( unknown flower)

Description: Radiating energy of nature can help soothe ailments,afflictions and strengthen the body of those who use it.

It looked like a green flower with 6 petals on it. I then plucked it, ran inside and fed the little girl. There was then a green glow from her body and she now looked like she was breathing smoother and finally looked calm.

She then spoke while sleeping " Thank you" and calmly fell back asleep looking a her face that was wincing in pain looked relieved.
