【Level Up】
【Skill: Conversion Level Up】
Yes! I finally hit level 100!
This is the promised level I made with “The Nameless, Forgotten One”! And even my skill, Conversion, leveled up!
Conversion – Level 3
Ability to visualize location A and exchange it with location B.
Hmm? Could this be… teleportation?
“Hey, Toma . What’s wrong?”
“Ah, uh, it’s nothing.”
I was so focused on checking my status that I spaced out. But this is the middle of a dungeon, where monsters can ambush us anytime. I’m thrilled, but I can’t let my guard down.
“Sorry. Let’s keep moving.”
Even so, I want to leave this dungeon and rush to the temple immediately. But I can’t inconvenience the two of them for my selfish desires. I’ll endure for now.
After that, although we didn’t encounter the Hand’s Eye, we did hunt a few monsters before exiting the dungeon.
“Are you sure you want to leave the dismantling to us?”
“You’ve been restless since halfway through. You must have something on your mind. Go ahead.”
“Ben might ruin the materials, but I’ll handle the dismantling properly, so it’s fine.”
“What the hell’s that supposed to mean?”
“Because Ben always goes overboard.”
“Tch.”
“Ahaha. Sorry. I’ll be counting on you both today. Thanks!”
“Yeah, leave it to us.”
“Alright.”
I waved to the two of them and took off running.
Huff, huff… whew.
Stopping at the temple gates, I paused to catch my breath.
Inside the temple, three villagers were offering prayers. I slowly approached the desecrated statue of the nameless god, the one whose face and name had been erased.
Finally, the day has come. I’ve reached level 100 and can now stand before you.
Lowering my left knee, I closed my eyes and bowed my head. Not knowing the proper way to pray, I clasped my hands together. At that moment, a sensation of floating engulfed me.
…
It’s pitch black. Just like the void where those wretched gods cast me before my reincarnation.
【You’ve come, my faithful servant.】
It’s been a long time. I’m overjoyed to meet you again.
【Overjoyed, are you? But Toma , this is merely a milestone. You intend to challenge those who call themselves gods. A mere level 100 is insufficient.】
Yes, I understand that fully. Please, guide me.
【Then your next task is to spread my name across the world.】
You’ll share your name with me?
【If I don’t, how could you spread it? My name is Deuro—the God of Creation.】
The God of Creation, Deuro… I will spread your name far and wide!
【Good. Turn the faith they collect towards me.】
“They”? You mean there’s more than one? Are you referring to the Twelve Gods, starting with Nyrgnede?
【As expected of you, Toma . Yes, turn the power of their faith towards me.】
So I’ll redirect the faith they’ve been receiving to you, Lord Deuro!
【If I gather enough faith, they will weaken.】
That’ll serve as my revenge against them!
【Precisely. When their faith diminishes, they too will be forgotten, just as I was.】
Even if I can’t kill them, I can make them suffer. If Lord Deuro regains his strength, it’ll ease my bitterness!
【You decide the methods and carry them out. However, conceal the title God of Creation. Spread only my name.】
May I ask why?
【What do you think those who blindly follow them would do if they heard the title God of Creation?】
You mean they’d try to kill me?
【That possibility can’t be ignored. I wouldn’t want to recklessly expose you to danger. Spread my name as an artisan god, if you like—perhaps as a God of Crafting.】
I’m grateful for your consideration, Lord Deuro.
【Many still worship them. Be cautious.】
Yes! I’ll take away their faith for sure!
May I ask one last question?
【About me, I presume.】
Yes. Why was your name taken, and does being the God of Creation mean you created this world?
【Indeed, I created Forsdaria. Even Nyrgnede, now revered as the supreme deity, was once a steward of the world I made.】
Then how did this happen to you?
【In short, betrayal. I was the sole god of Forsdaria, and they were mere divine envoys—angels, as you’d call them.】
Now that I think about it, they had wings and halos resembling those of angels.
【That’s proof they are mere envoys. As a god, I possess neither.】
They betrayed you and usurped the world. Such audacity.
I’ll make them pay for what they did to you—and to me.
【Don’t underestimate them, Toma . While they cannot directly interfere with Forsdaria, they can send heroes to act in their stead. Especially Nyrgnede, who is cunning. Stay vigilant.】
Understood. I’ll be wary of reincarnated individuals.
Oh, speaking of which, what happened to my former classmates? Were they summoned to some distant land?
【When you turn seventeen, they will be summoned. Most of them will likely be your enemies.】
What? When I turn seventeen?
【Time flows differently between Forsdaria and the void where you once drifted.】
That’s why I wandered for so long without aging…
【Time is up. Return to the temple when you reach level 200.】
I understand. I’ll grow stronger and redirect faith to you, Lord Deuro.
【Good. I’m counting on you.】
Returning to the temple, I felt resolved. I’ll definitely strip away their faith and bring it to Lord Deuro!
Standing before his statue, I bowed deeply, but then noticed something odd.
“…Huh?”
The pedestal beneath Lord Deuro’s statue now bore a readable name!
“Even the face… it’s restored!”
“Oooohhhh!”
Turning, I saw the villagers behind me, wide-eyed in astonishment.
“It’s a miracle! A divine miracle!”
“Huh?”
The villagers were in a frenzy, shouting about the miracle of the restored statue. A priest, alerted by the commotion, arrived in haste.
“What’s going… on?”
The priest looked up at the statue and stood frozen in shock.
