Let's Create Polytheism "Sasaraki, I think we lack gods in this world." Azrael said in the debugging room with a serious face. "We do have a 'Goddess of Creation,' though." "This is the age of polytheism, you know? It's more romantic to have a whole lot of them." "That's just your preferences spea… No, that might actually be a good idea." Thinking it over, the goddess was considered the dev's underling and players saw her as a hostile. It was probably a good idea to make a friendly goddess. "That's why I've implemented a belief system. If you show belief, you'll be able to get merits." "Eh? You implemented that?" "Yeah. I've only completed it as it was abandoned halfway through development, though." Azrael said a bit embarrassed but also proud of herself. That's incredible. Azrael seems to get better and better at programming. "Anyway, you make gods with this 'Divine Generator.'" She took out a red button that had 'God' written on it. "Ehehe, apparently this automatically creates gods that fit into this world!" He had nothing but bad feelings from the moment he heard 'gods that fit into this world.' But Azrael seemed to so happy, so Sasaraki kept quiet. "Eii, push it!"
When Azrael pressed the button, text appeared on the Main Screen. [God of Bugs (Special A-Rank Evil God)] Her eyes turned into dots. Something eerie in the form of a human being appeared on the screen. That was apparently what the God of Bugs looked like. His body consisted of numerous lines of small text saying, "ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!" Below that was his description.
[Belief Rewards: The player's attributes as well as experience points occasionally bug, usually resulting in a reset to zero. On top of that, there is a chance for started events to break, forced logouts, and the player's graphical model to be stricken with noise.] Those weren't merits, those were penalties. "Azrael, can't we make gods by hand?" "The belief system is protected and can only be accessed with this switch." It was the way he'd feared, after all. "But we can make three of them, so the next one's gotta be a good one! EII! *press*" [God of Imbalance (Special A-Rank Evil God)] A man with a muscular and packed upper body, and frail and thin lower body appeared on screen. [Belief Rewards: The player's attributes will be forcefully redistributed to either strength or intelligence. Weapons with a weight of less than 'Very Heavy' can no longer be used. It will become easier to encounter demons in dungeons unsuited for the player's level.] What was with this evil god? "...Azrael, I think we should st…" "J-Just one more time! One more time! *press*"
[???? (Special A-Rank Evil God)] Azrael revealed a refreshing smile. "See?! Sora no Kami! The God of the Sky! That's romantic!" "Wait, there's no picture of him for some reason… and he's evil." On a closer look, there was some small text on the lower half of the screen. [Belief Rewards: Rewards are unimplemented.] "........................Eh?" Azrael mumbled, dumbfounded. After a bit of thinking, Sasaraki said, "Perhaps it's not read as 'sora,' but as 'kara' - 'empty.'" "...That means…" "God of Emptiness, it's the God of Unimplementation." Azrael was about ready to cry. Apparently the only gods that fit into this world were evil ones.
