Chapter 189: Faceless God

Sleep is what the girls got, I on the other hand got kicked, punched, and pushed until I finally slept on the floor. That was rough around the time that the two girls both needed to use the bathroom, one after the other. We were in the water, so there was no way I should even need a bed, but the designer must have just made it look like we were in the water because I woke up with all the stiffness acquired from sleeping on a hard floor.

One nice thing about this game was that we never had to eat, but because this was the only money we would have in the foreseeable future, we would share a bed. Unforutanley neither were that great at sharing in their sleep. I don't think we actually need sleep, but the feeling is good to be somewhat refreshed, I don't think it would be healthy for us to stay awake the entire game, and that may be why they put up a shitty town like this.

"Okay, before we go, and please don't yell at me for spending money!"

I held the two rings out to the girl, and both of them got very excited. That was a relief, and after they put them on, I received a long and deep kiss from each of them. Ha! This was better, makes all that shitty sleep worth it.

We headed back out the tunnel and my eyes were again drawn to the moss, we had to be careful, our temporary home would become the next battlefield. Then again, maybe we didn't have that choice, but we were soon outside, and I let those thoughts go, for now, bigger fish to fry. I asked Mom to activate the tracking system, and a green line lit up.

I let my body elongate, and shift into the form of the water dragon. Changing the shape of my body was becoming more natural for me, but maybe that was the point, there were other games like this when I first started that we failed. I let Grace attach herself to me, but I didn't let the thought go, we had a ways to go, so the girls could chat while I thought this though.

We took off, and I started to contemplate what it meant if this was built as a training exercise, but really just to learn how to use my shape-shifting form? There has to be more than that, why not just let me finish the sequence, and then I reset? I can replay the levels after that and get better then...Mom, what is the purpose of this game for me?

'This was an exercise built to train you and your members to use this system to defy the system, Those are the words left for you when you asked that question.' -Tequila.

Okay, time for some answers.

'What can I do with the System that I don't know about?'

'Auto-travel is the only function you have unlocked that you do not know about.' -Tequila.

That was good, but I wasn't going to use it yet.

'How can I get more skill points?'

'There is no other current way to get skill points besides using the mating skill in this current game.' -Tequila.

'We can do that if you want before we get to the mission location, I think you still owe me some spanks!' -Grace.

'No, you interrupted my turn, you greedy weirdo!' -Kierra.

'How about we go together? I can remind you of our little lesson from the first time!' -Grace.

Dammit, I could not wait for the next game, Serina would be there, but maybe she will have news about the faceless god. Now would be a good time to find out what he has been doing this entire time. After the first game, he took me in, told me I looked like I could handle it, and then disappeared. I had no idea that this was what he was talking about, but where did he go? Was it Simon?

'No.' -Tequila.

'What? No? Mom, do you know who the faceless God is?' 

'Yes.' -Tequila.

'...And, what is his name then?'

'I can't tell you, but I can tell you about him.' -Tequila.

'Better than a kick to the head with a frozen boot, let's hear the tale Mom."

'Storytime! We should stop and make a campfire! I am just kidding, but we should stop if we are about to hear a tale this important. I don't know who this faceless god is, but it sounds juicy!' -Grace.

True enough, no point in blundering into danger while knee-deep in a story. Kierra and I both transformed and then got comfy on the ground together next to a rock. After we got settled down, Mom started her story.

'After when we first started to create the game, we had tried to create an AI for the game to run it, basically, we tried to make a MainFrame but failed. That was a general thought, and we completely forgot about it. After I died, I found out that the AI had not failed, but instead it had lived inside games to hide from us as players. During this time, the AI developed a personality after interacting with the NPC, but something happened in the first game he won. The God was Granted the status of God of the game world, but he denied it; the god had developed a love for the affairs of the people, but wanted to play how he chose. In the end, after Reborn took the game, he has been hiding and helping in secret. The Game Master's know about him but they can't stop him, and he is the only one that stops the Game Masters from wastefully deleting worlds. The faceless god Transmigrates other heroes to help save those worlds and has a dedicated staff of wives that enter with the heroes to guide.' -Tequila.

'So, then that means he is working with another hero right now?'

'Yes, he is on Kelios right now fighting with one of the top three Founders. The god's hand has also been forced again on another world, but he doesn't have his own personal hero there, but his wife is there with a new system user. He needs you to finish the Sequence, once that is done, everything will make sense, and you can join the real fight.
