The god’s talk had run long enough that he hadn’t been able to schedule his next job run until early in the morning, leaving Ben to walk through his gate soon after waking Thera up, with her insisting on getting up for Mora so he wouldn’t be left to himself in the early hours no matter how much the boy denied it.

He’d had the option of just coming along with him for it of course but they could both tell over dinner that the child hadn’t been interested, even less so than his usual gentle demeanour suggested and since they didn’t want to push, he went by himself, with only his god to keep him company.

<Uughh.>

You don’t sleep, why do you always sound tired?

I think you need to throw the word brilliant in there somewhere. You’re brilliant apostle’s antics or your apostle’s brilliant antics. Hell, I think your brilliant apostle’s brilliant antics is probably exactly what you’re looking for.

With cooler heads prevailing?

<Ugh, yes but it was still a long, painful conversation. When all of this is over I’m taking a vacation. I’m sitting in my realm and you’re not allowed to come bother me for at least a couple days.>

As long as by ‘when this is over’ you mean the war then sure. If not then unfortunately, I need pretty constant access to you.

<Uuughh…>

Come on, cheer up. We still have months before we all die, don’t spend them being a downer.

Maybe not but it looks like it’s time to start the show so chin up.

His job run wasn’t happening in the guild that time but on the coast, with the adventurers and parties he’d be joining largely hailing from the aquatic half of the planet, all of them already lined up at a dock in waiting when he arrived, letting himself be led to the first group, even as he saw one familiar face at the end of the line.

The last party he’d been in had one of the aquatic third tiers and this time, despite the half of the world most of them would be residing in, it seemed his third tier would be terrestrial again, with Killi sparing some words with the group she was near at the end.

Well, however the gods are choosing to organize this is their business, for now, let’s get started.

Only a single new option but it instantly stopped him in his tracks, completely changing his plans as he took it.

Divine kin.

How could he resist? According to the gods, he’d managed to turn himself into a demigod and would be able to grow faster for that fact, why not strengthen the characteristic that made him one, and with immediate results too.

A new level so soon after acquiring the skill and major bonuses to go with it. Maybe it wasn’t the massive ones he thought he might get for claiming the heart of a god but it was good to pull on its own, with the new title almost certainly adding to its effects. A part of him wondered how much that new one was from the system and how much was whatever conversations the gods had spent the last day going over but it was a handy little bonus he wasn’t going to turn his nose up at when it was sure to be a good one.

With only one other change he could see that had come with the level. Ever since he’d had the skills complex mind and mental expansion, they’d played a not-insignificant part in how he’d see the world and it had only grown as they’d awakened and continued to level, with the state of his mind making it easy to see something that would have been so minor otherwise as to go unnoticed. He was taller.

It has to only be by a millimeter but still… Demigod of growth and gain, huh? I guess those aspects might pop up in other places I’m not expecting too.

He didn’t feel anything else different in his body but it was something to try and be aware of at the very least, keeping conscious of it as he made his souls and finished his job, leaving him to make his choice for the next one.

With it all the harder now that he’d taken one he hadn’t expected to show up as an option, forcing him to re-evaluate his thoughts for a bit before making his choice.

I’m making one of the few things that exists across the entire multiverse so I might have gotten experience for this anyway if I’d just taken it by myself but I want the mana bonuses. Okay, give me multiversal material mage.
