"Kyak!" The woman screamed in shock as she tried her best to evade, but one of the shadow spikes still pierced through her gut. She got up in a hurry and leaped out of the window, rolling on the floor upon landing to cushion the impact as she rushed into the street, vanishing from view. "Hah…haah…what the heck was that?" The man gasped in shock, tracing his fingers over his neck where a deep imprint of the lady's palms had formed. He was exhausted all over, feeling like he had aged by a year, "She's…-

"H-Here is today's pay. N-Now, please give me my elixir!" A man wobbled into the home and threw his wages for the day on the table. "Elixir? Hahaha!" The lady of the house laughed in response before pushing forth a glass, "Since you worked hard today, I've filled the glass. Consider it your honour and relish it." "Y-Yes, I will, definitely." The man grabbed the glass in a hurry and gobbled up its contents like a man in the desert that had chanced upon water after days of thirst. The moment he…

"P-Please spare me!" A woman screamed in fright as she stared at the terrifying individual before her, one that resembled a beast, with large, sharp fangs. Despite her screams, the individual continued to approach her, proving her resistance futile. The woman tripped and fell on the hard pavement of the semi-developed town, screaming in the back alleys as the terrifying individual caught up to her and held her at a choke point, squeezing her neck as suddenly, her lifeforce began to slip away from her…

As Pnolli, Compass Carburettor began to descend his mountain—Grezza Mountain. The faith directed at the God of Humanity continued to funnel into him, but in this state, it wasn't exhibited. After all, Pnolli was just a mortal human. There was a weakness in being Pnolli. He couldn't use his powers and was easy to kill. But, that wasn't a problem. After all, as long as he wasn't killed in an instant, he could always let go of the Avatar of Pnolli and return to his divine form as the God of…

"I had lived a fulfilling life until now, Your Lordship," Pnolli spoke as he stood on the branch of a tree situated partway up a mountain and stared at his village which resembled a town now. "I don't have any other desires." "Seems you're on the last stretch of your life." Compass Carburettor said, having appeared behind the old man. "You look exactly the same as before." Pnolli smiled wryly, "Even though I am content, at times, I just can't help but feel envious of the power you possess."…

Crack! Crack! In a deep forest situated on a mountain was a humanoid statue, seated next to a boulder. It resembled a human man with impeccable proportions, perfectly sculpted to represent the peak of humanity. The stone statue began to crack as pieces of it fell to the ground, disappearing as fragments of light that swerved into the figure within. Eventually, almost a quarter of the stone layer fell off, causing the individual to wake up. "Hah…how long was I asleep?" It was Compass Carburettor,…

"Our God?" At the suspicion of the villagers, Pnolli nodded, "Yes, you heard it right. The God I pray towards is our representative." "He's the God of Humanity." "The God of Humanity…?" The Village Head asked in surprise, "Does that mean we are all his believers?" "Not exactly." Pnolli shook his head, "The God of Humanity doesn't solicit any religion centred around him. Our faith towards him is more transactional in nature than devotion as other Deities require." "Basically, as long as we…

The morning the next day, Pnolli woke up, feeling fresh as he exited the cocoon and retracted it, wrapping it around himself like a layer of skin as he unfurled the pair of wings once again and took flight. He travelled for a few hours before arriving in the vicinity of a village, landing at the edge as he made a praying motion, 'Thank you for your blessings.' He wasn't even a Spirit of the God of Humanity. And hence, he was merely borrowing the power, one that vanished the moment he deactivated…

The God of Humanity never asked one to convert to his faith or display faith towards him. As Compass Carburettor had mentioned at the start, they formed a symbiotic relationship. As long as they remained a human, they could seek his blessings even without being a devout follower. All they needed was to have faith while seeking a blessing and it would happen. They would obtain what they needed without any repercussions. Moreover, as his commandments dictated that it was perfectly fine to pray to him…

"First Rule—One shall not pray when not in a crisis!" "Second Rule—A believer can follow other faiths as long as they don't betray humanity!" "Third Rule—Never use the blessings to harm another human!" "Fourth Rule—When bountiful, extend a hand towards the needy!" "Fifth Rule—Never coerce or brainwash another into your belief!" "Sixth Rule—Only entertain greed towards knowledge!" "Seventh Rule—Live a happy life!" The Shukagat Village Head proclaimed as he stared at the…
