Chapter 7: Arrival on the Small World



"All right, since it's the first time for many of you to send your consciousness to a small world, here's a general explanation before you go to your cabins." The teacher said seriously.

When he looked at me and saw the exhaustion on my face, he just shook his head in disappointment and ignored me.

"Inside each cabin will be everything you need to live for 30 days, both in terms of basic necessities and a few other things for entertainment in case any of you get bored at any point during the wait." The teacher explained. "The room is already connected with the location of the small world, so you just need to use your divine consciousness to travel in the way it was explained and you'll be able to get there."

"Each room has the coordinates for the location of one of the kingdoms of this world, this kingdom will be your test. The 10 best kingdoms after 30 days will be considered successful and will enter the army as sergeants, while the other 20 kingdoms will fail and will be assigned as corporals in the army." The teacher explained. "Remember, time in the small world passes twice as fast as time in our divine world, so one day in the divine world is only 12 hours in our world, so use this information wisely."

As soon as the teacher finished explaining, a girl raised her hand curiously.

"Yes, Artie?" The teacher asked.

"Professor, if we don't like our kingdom, is it possible to change?" Artie asked.

"Negative, the moment you enter the cubicles, you will be confined to that cubicle and the realm that corresponds to that cubicle." The Professor explained in a serious voice. "If you have any questions and want to request a book, you can push a button next to the door and ask a supervisor to bring you a specific book, but only books from the school library."

When the other students heard this, they were worried about getting a bad grade, but I wasn't. It was irrelevant to worry now that I couldn't interfere with which realm I would get.

So, after a few more useless explanations, the teacher took us to a corridor with 30 doors, with 15 doors on each side of the corridor.

"These are your booths, they are all identical inside and out, you will choose your own booths. Good luck, your test begins now." The teacher said before turning around and leaving.

As soon as he said this, while the other students were still in shock, Zack quickly went to the first door on the right and entered that cabin.

Seeing that Zack had already entered the first cubicle, the other students frantically began to enter the cubicles one by one.

Seeing that the moment had arrived, I also started to walk towards one of the last booths and as my hand grasped the handle, I heard a low voice.

"Good luck, Adrian."

Surprised, I looked around and saw Lucy, the girl with the blue hair that moved like waves, smiling at me as I entered her booth.

"Good luck..." I replied quietly as I entered my cabin as well.

As soon as I entered the cabin, I sensed the coordinates of this small world and instinctively knew how to send my consciousness there.

But first I looked around the cabin.

The bed was a standard bed, just like the bed in my dormitory, and there was also a small kitchen with cupboards containing enough food for 30 days.

Even though we were gods and could only live on divinity but since we were weak gods, there was still a need for food so that our bodies wouldn't get weaker.

The bathroom was also very clean and tidy, with a small mirror over the sink where I could see myself in the reflection.

I had seen my reflection the first day I was born, but I was always surprised every time I saw myself.

I had white, smooth, delicate skin, much better than my skin in my previous world. My hair was black and straight, with a length halfway down my ear.

While other gods had features like lightning in their hair, like Zack, or blue hair that moved like waves, like Lucy, my feature was my eyes, which shone a very captivating blue.

Surprisingly, my current appearance was very similar to my appearance in my previous life, but much more beautiful.

If it weren't for the fact that the old Adrian was very weak, with an almost skeletal body, walked with a frightened expression, and always acted submissive when he saw someone else, he might have stood out positively because of his appearance.

But all these defects gave the other students a very bad impression of Adrian and prevented anyone from seeing anything positive in him, something I didn't even bother to try to change myself, knowing that I would only be living with them for a short time.

After confirming everything about the place, I looked at a comfortable chair in the middle of the cabin and sat down.

Following the knowledge the room gave me, I extracted a part of my consciousness and sent it to the coordinates they had taught me.

As soon as I followed the instructions, I felt as if my soul was leaving my body and I was floating.

Slowly my floating speed began to accelerate and I was already floating above the school.

As I floated, I felt as if something was watching me for a split second, causing me to freeze in the air before allowing me to continue my ascent.

I think it was one of the headmasters checking that I wasn't an intruder. I thought, surprised by the overwhelming sense of helplessness I felt as this thing watched me.

Within seconds, my consciousness had already left the planet and it was flying faster and faster through space.

The sight I saw was incredible and made me wonder why I had never tried it before.

In a matter of minutes, I saw scenes of incredible galaxies passing by in the blink of an eye, until finally my speed began to slow, and I found myself floating slowly inside the atmosphere of a planet.

Following the coordinates the cabin showed me, I landed in a kingdom, more specifically, in a dilapidated and poorly maintained church.

As my consciousness descended into this church, I noticed that there were only 10 mortals praying to a statue in the form of an expressionless person in the center of the church.

But as soon as my consciousness touched the statue, the blank face of the statue slowly began to change until the face that appeared there was my own, and I could feel as if the marble limbs of the statue were able to move under my control.

After I managed to move each of the statue's limbs, I raised my head and looked at the 10 mortals who had been kneeling and praying to the statue for a few seconds.

In front of me, the faces of these 10 people were completely frightened and terrified.

"God's messenger has arrived!" An elderly man shouted in fear as he fainted.

- Amber's POV -

Today was a normal day like any other.

I had done all my chores at home for my mother, helped my little brother learn to read, and cleaned the temple of the National Church under the scornful eyes of several people.

But I never worried.

Even though people looked down on me for cleaning the temple of a God they thought didn't exist, I still did it with fervor every day.

That's only because Father Robert was always very careful with me and my family.

Ever since my father died from a mistaken magical reaction, it was Father Robert who helped my family, feeding us when we were hungry, giving me a job when we needed money, all "in the name of the Lord," as he always said.

Since the Kingdom of Arcantor was a kingdom ruled by the three Archmages, the people saw magic as the true path to truth, while they thought that belief in a God was foolish.

That's why only a few dozen people prayed to our god every week.

When I asked Father Robert what the name of our God was, Father said that even he did not know, that we would only find out on the day that God's messenger came to earth.

When I asked him how he knew that, he said it was an old prophecy that had been passed down from generation to generation.

So we prayed to the unknown God at least once a week, even though we saw no sign of him.

But today, as Father Robert said his weekly Mass and we knelt before the empty statue, something surprising happened.

Even before any sign appeared on the statue, I felt as if something very heavy and powerful was watching me.

In those few seconds, I felt as if my life was worthless and that this powerful thing could kill me at any moment, showing my insignificance before it.

Shocked, I raised my head and saw one of the most shocking scenes I've ever seen in my life.

The empty statue, something that Father Robert said had been in the same place for hundreds of years, suddenly began to shake, and the face that had been empty was now showing the expression of a person!

The face of the statue slowly changed to that of a very handsome boy.

The statue's limbs, which had been in the same position all along, suddenly began to crack and move as if they were limbs of a real person's body!

When the statue finally finished adapting to the movement of its body, Father Robert let out a cry before fainting.

"God's messenger has arrived!"
