Chapter 875: Being an Overgod is Exhausting.
Hello, my name is Cain Lisworth. People call me the white mage due to my hair color and usually white or grey robes. It's been a while, but I finally reached the top of my world.
I walked into the guild's hall and looked around, ^AHH! What should I do now?^ As I integrated with my teacher's forbidden knowledge, I gained a hint of omnipotence that keeps growing.
Blinking, I could see everyone walking around him naked, see their magic, and hear their thoughts. I could even guess their names, what they like and hate, and how many years they have left to live.
^This is strange.^
"Hey, Cain. What are you thinking about?" An adventurer called me.
"Yes, my name is Cain." I stared back at him with a tired face.
"I know that." The adventurer walked toward me with a confused face. "I asked why do you look so down."
"Probably if you shaved, Romia would accept to marry you. And loves to cook, so don't take her out to eat and find a place to live in." I replied without hesitation. This man's life is too sad for me to pretend not to know. I patted his shoulder and walked away, almost crying about how many times Romia rejected him.
"Hoi! What's that about?!" The adventurer growled, confused by my words, and tried to pull his sword.
^Bad luck buddy. Your sword is magical, and it won't come out.^ I could hear the sword struggling as it refused to be unsheathed, cursing its user and swearing that it rather shatter than be unsheathed to my face.
I looked to the side, ignoring the raging one behind me, and turned my face toward Romia, who sat on a table, listening to us.
"Give Rohan a chance, would you?" I said, "He's a decent guy."
She blinked twice, staring at me with an even more confused face. I can understand why she finds what I'm saying strange, but knowing how those two lives are going to develop, I can't leave them without saying anything.
Ignoring their grunts, I walked toward the receptionist's desk, "I'm leaving for a while. Can you extend my card's time?"
"We just made it..." She stared at me, "It'll last for a year."
^It'll be strange if I asked her to make it a few years, won't it? I'm sure she'll do it if I brought up her...no, that's blackmailing, isn't it?^ I shook my head, "Sorry, it won't matter anyway. See you later," I walked away, heading toward the guild's door.
^I should visit Dolrig. I wonder how his shop is doing. It's been a while.^ With the thoughts of the world flowing into my head, I screamed, "GHAAAA! No spoilers! Stop, silence!"
The adventurers gasped, staring at my enraged self with strange looks. I stood there, panting with a sweaty face and a twisted face.
^Lilia, aren't you blocking it?^
^{I'm blocking everything dangerous. What you're getting is what I consider harmless or useless. It's not things that you should care about.}^ She replied in my head, and I realized it was going to be a massive pain in the ass to get used to the forbidden knowledge. I can't think straight of something without getting distracted by the petty details.
It's like trying to bask in the sunlight, relaxing on a green field of grass and beautiful flowers...Then a naked woman jumps in dancing in front of you. You can't look away. It's too distracting and out of place.
I slowly walked out of the guild, ignoring the strange stars of the ignorant people. Life would be annoying for a while, but it shouldn't be something I can't handle, I hope.
As I made my way through the streets, I looked around at the people walking around. I can never get used to knowing them more than they know themselves, each one of them as if I lived their whole lives and lived with them at the same time.
CRACKLE! CLAP! Five lightning bolts fell from the sky, killing two women and three men. The people across the city freaked out, but I walked uncaringly, "Got what you deserved," I mumbled as I passed by the charred corpses.
"What's happened?!" A man screamed, staring at the clear sky, "Where did the lightning come from?"
"Was it a monster?" Another cried.
^No it was me, your god.^
"Five innocent people died. This must be an evil monster. Call the adventurers guild to find and kill it." A woman shouted her lungs out.
^Yes, it's me here.^ I looked at the woman, ^Those were anything but innocent. Now have a stomach ache as you aren't that much better than them.^ I looked at her, and she fell on her face, holding her stomach and growling.
"GAA!" She cried. The rumbling of her stomach could be heard from several feet away, "My.... AH!" She rolled on the ground.
I walked. She was in my way, so I jumped over her rolling body and kept going.
"You!" A man growled and grabbed me by the shoulder, "Don't just walk over her!"
I looked at him, ^What is this fool spitting?^ I looked at the woman, "She's the bitch behind the past years' winter scams. Do you remember the firewood deliveries that never arrived, and the houses scandled away? This bitch is behind it all, don't get me started on how many people froze to death because of her." I couldn't help but spit on her face.
She isn't getting any divine spit, but only the good old one.
"You that's going overboard, you've no proof," The man tried to shake me away. I'm getting tired of this.
With a gentle push, I threw him away and approached the woman, ripping her vest off and taking a closed envelope that she had in her undershirt's pocket.
She cried and tried to reach out to me, but I kicked her in the face, "Stay down." I started reading the content of the envelope out loud to the people walking around. With each word, their faces grew redder in rage. Among them were people who lost their children or parents to the cold, and it's all because of the woman.
I looked down at the woman, "I've got no time to waste on someone like you. What you did was technically legal, but a scummy scam nonetheless." I threw the envelope to the nearest guard, "You can't charge her with anything, but the people aren't going to stay silent,"
Everyone stared at me with confused faces. They almost forget the five charred people in the back. I won't get into detail about what they did, but it's enough for me to send them to the eighth layer of hell to get eaten alive by bugs.
"You're the white mage, Cain Lisworth." The guard approached me, bowing down, "Sorry for not recognizing you at first. I can't believe I missed someone like you."
"You bet. How many people walk around with white hair?" I ended up replying to him, even though I wanted to leave and get a look at Dolrig before the forbidden knowledge spoils it for me.
"I'll take care of this case. Can you please...." the guard went on babbling and babbling, and when he finished, he realized that I'd already left a while ago.

I reached Dolrig's house. It looked different than what I remember. Leon seems to have done what I told him and gave him a lot of money. This reminds me that I haven't checked my mansion here in a while. I've talked a lot with Sebas but never actually came back.
I lifted my fist and knocked on the door, "Who the hell knocking on my door," I heard several faint grunts inside the house. Strangely enough, he wasn't cursing as I remembered him. In fact, if I didn't have a stupidly powerful hearing. I wouldn't have heard him.
Soon enough, Dolrig slowly pushed the door open, "Keep it down, you..." His eyes opened wide upon seeing me, "CAIN!" He cried but quickly closed his mouth.
"What's going on? I thought you'd be cursing non-stop," I asked, I could hear the forbidden knowledge about to burst in my head, but I kept it blocked with Lilia's help.
"Remember that I married?" Dolrig whispered, and I nodded to him. His wife was a loudmouth like him, so I don't think she'll be against him screaming and cursing around.
"She was pregnant until recently, but we sadly lost the child in labor. She's been down since that..." He said with a sad face, and I could feel his soul quivering. He's just as devastated as her but is trying to keep a calm front to maintain their lives.
Unacceptable, unbelievable...if the kid was about to be born, that meant his soul was already stable.
"Give me a second. Do you believe in any god?" I grunted, sending a call to the heavens.
"I forge like dwarves, so it was Moradin in the past. I won't say I'm a believer in anyone though." Dolrig replied with a confused face.
"That's good enough for me..." I finally managed to get in contact through magic, "YO! Moradin, where is my friend's child? Give me that soul now,"
"Don't give me that...I want him, not a replacement. Are you crazy," Moradin informed me that the child had been severed from the mortal world and already settled in his heaven. Getting him back would be tricky.
"I don't care about the world's law. You know I'm the law now. I'll take of everything else. Just transfer the soul to my care before I pull it out myself." Moradin agreed after making sure I knew it wasn't easy to get him back into the mortal world.
I lifted my hand and immediately located the grave where they buried the child. It was at the corner of the local graveyard. To avoid mental shock, I covered the corpse with a ball of light and snatched it away, pulling it all the way to my hand.
^A damaged body, fixing it won't be a problem.^ Even though it already rotted halfway from being buried for several days, it only took a drop of my divine healing magic to fix it.
^Now for the hard part, fusing the soul with the body. I can hide it, but it'll look strange, so all out it is.^ I smiled, and a massive magic circle the size of a house appeared above me, followed by several more circles that stretched all the way to the clouds.
"What's that!" Dolrig gasped, falling on his back as he had never seen such magic in his life.
"World rules? I make those now, so work!" I growled, and the soul flew right back into the body. The chaining linking the soul and body got fixed in the blink of an eye, and the baby cried as he took his first breath.
"Here," I extended my hand to Dolrig, holding baby Dolrig in a rag, "You baby is back in this world."
