Cherreads

Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

(Marcus) He's gone, what do we do now? * a knot forming in my chest*

(Jane) *still crying* im not sure, let's survive the night

(Marcus) Okay, let's get the children and women back in the camp and we'll survive this night

The camp was mostly unscathed because the mawlers were so weak when they attacked. All through the night, no monster showed up; just a feeling of dread. Emily sat by Lucian's body all night when the sun was peaking over the horizon. A giant boom came from the sky.

(Marcus) Time stopped I couldn't move, the sky ripped open and an eyeball with 4 wings came out, it looked around, then the eyeball wrapped itself in its wings and blood started seeping from the holes in the feathers, a human body appeared, 2 of the wings turned into clothes, and the other 2 started flapping, then time unfroze

(Marcus) *Gasping for air* What the hell, it felt like I didn't breathe for too long

(Entity) Humans! Of zureenie 89 or what you like to call it earth! I am demi god Artus! And I was sent here to congratulate you on surviving against the azzukielume, truly an outstanding feat, you are also the first species to survive in the game! But you hurt your planet, you humans are greedy, and hurt was our great one made for you, so your planet will have to be added to another planet to stabilize your growth within this game, but now for the top 10 people on your feeble earth, these rankings are from your own kills and some assists that are mostly of your help

Number 1 Ha-Rin! From Korea!

Number 2 Sophia! From Russia!

Number 3 Lucian! From The United States!

Number 4 Jakari! From Africa!

Number 5 Lance! From Australia!

Number 6 Akihito! From Japan!

Number 7 Abraham! From Brazil!

Number 8 Huáng! From China!

Number 9 Olivia! From The United Kingdom!

Number 10 and Number 11 have the same amount of points Mason! From Canada! and Aero! From Greenland!

Amazing feats! Now I will give one wish within my ability or answer a question from each person of the top 10!

First

He extended his hand out

Ha-Rin!

(Ha-Rin) hello! Giant demi god!

Why can I understand him

No small talk! What is your wish?

(Ha-Rin) Can you give me more power? Since I am the number 1

I am a demi god, I can do whatever I want! I will increase your speed now begone

(Ha-Rin) Wait!

He was gone

Now Sophia!

(Sophia) Huh? Where am I?

She was where a priest's robe and hat, she was in a prayer stance

Is that your question?

(Sophia) no! Uh what about the animals on Earth, will they get powers like these monsters?

45% of your animal species and 32% of your insect species have gone extinct, but! The other percentages will evolve to fit the world's desires

Sophia was gone, and I looked over to Lucian. Maybe it's a different Lucian, then from his head to his feet, he turns to dust, then into nothing

Oh my! Looks like the only person to kill a type 5 azzukielume, died, well we can't have that

(Lucian) How many years has it been in this void, i can't remember anything

(Demi god) Lucian? Are you in there?

(Lucian) Oh, hi, who are you?

(Demi god) I am a demi god, im here to reassure you, you are strong and need to fight again

(Lucian) okay *hesitently*

*gasps for air*

The hole in my stomach is gone, what happened, where am I

Hello Lucian! What power or question would you like to ask?

Oh, uh what do these gems do

That's a fantastic question, I was hoping someone would ask! You know what since you were the only thing in all the species we've tested to kill a type 5 in the first round, I'll give you a second question, then I'll answer both

Thanks, uh is there a way for you to keep information about ourselves and things we've experienced without needing to write it down?

Oh yeah, I can do that another species asks for the same, *snap*

A blue window appeared in front of me, welcome to the Force web!

Now to answer your first question the gems, they are what we call Raw Force, your worlds law of force was weird and had to many holes in it so we fixed it and made it better, you will now be able to use any kind of force imaginable to help fight against the monsters or other species that will come to your earth, just incase anybody is confused, for example, your normal law of motion, we have modified it so you can amplify your movement speed, but beware you can only choose one force per person and every ability used will have reverse effects on the user, but back the gems, you can channel your force into the gems and take more from the gems, or use the gems to upgrade weapons, etc, you will learn as you experment, you will also be able to upgrade strength, stamina, agility or constitution, with the gems and depending on higher gem the more points you can put in, your all unique so no one will be the exacty the same in their stats, that is enough of that, we will continue now

My body felt tingly as my body slowly disappeared and I appeared back in the camp

(Emily) You're back! I knew you would come back!!

(Jane) *smiled while still having tears*

Come on

I was hugged by Jane, Emily then Marcus came too crying like a huge baby, zoe hugged my leg

(Marcus) Welcome back, man!

Good to be back

(Marcus) How do you feel? How was death?

Im not sure actually, I don't remember anything, it feels like I just fell asleep, and woke up

I looked up at the demigod as he snapped his fingers, we all froze in place, i couldn't turn, it was as if time stopped

That's enough talking from anyone that isn't the top 10, I'll freeze you when your i pull you up, i could hear every single person on this planet and it was starting to get annoying, also theres a territory menu in your screens, only top 10, it should allow you to clame land so when we merge planets, its doesnt destroy what youve made

Oh yeah the screen at the bottom of my vision seems to still work with the us being frozen, I wonder if it's also made from this force he talks about

Demi God Codex

Demi god Name: Artus

Type: God

Threat Level: 10+

Description: Original look: An eye with 4 white feathered wings, human look: blonde hair, gold eyes, chiseled body, with 2 wings as a robe of sorts, and sandals, and 2 wings behind him

Strengths:

Time control

Teleportation

Body refiguration

Weaknesses:

None to be known

Behavior:

Detached, theatrical, and eerily benevolent. Artus speaks with the calm certainty of a being that believes its actions are mercy, even when they bring ruin. He views mortals as experiments rather than lives, each success and failure just another data point in the gods' grand design. Though he seems polite and even congratulatory, every word carries an undertone of divine condescension, as if speaking to children who broke their toys. Artus delights in order and balance but has no concept of empathy; he reshapes worlds not out of cruelty, but out of duty, and that makes him far more terrifying.
