God of Internet - Chapter 2: Divine Power

The first thing I did was to use the rest of the class time to organize my memories about the structure of this world and what was expected of me as a student at this school.

As a school that brought together students with the greatest potential to become powerful gods, there had to be a reason for this.

Trying to put together the pieces of information that were still jumbled in my mind, after a few minutes I managed to understand the general structure of it.

Basically, the gods weren’t the only powerful beings in the universe; just as there were gods, there were also demons.

The structure of this school was basically like a military school.

We, the little gods, had the opportunity to take advantage of some of the structure and benefits that the army provided in exchange for helping the gods fight the demons in the future.

Among these benefits provided by the army, the biggest benefit was the graduation reward.

The graduation test, which would take place in a week’s time, was access to the coordinates of a small world, where all students would have access to a random kingdom, and based on their performance, the best students would be able to join the army with a higher rank, while the worst students would have to join as ordinary soldiers.

Realizing this information, that the gods used the mortal worlds practically as sandbox games without caring about the lives of those who lived there, made me wonder if my old world was like that too…

Everything that was happening seemed like a dream… an extremely realistic dream, and at the same time very imaginative.

But the feeling of control I had inside me, as if I had a new organ, my divinity, was something I could never imagine, even if it was a dream.

When I thought about the people from my previous world, I didn’t even feel that bad about this reincarnation… the only person I would really miss was Emily, who I didn’t even get to kiss, but the others weren’t that important.

I didn’t have a family, my friends weren’t that close… and now I had found something really fun… divinity!

This new “muscle” I had inside of me opened the door to so many possibilities, it felt incredible!

Luckily, the class ended quickly, so I put my things away without a second thought and quickly got up to go back to my dorm.

I didn’t realize it, but someone had raised their hand to talk to me. But I was so focused on getting back to my dorm to understand this world better that I didn’t notice.

The classrooms were far from the dormitories on campus, so I took a 10-minute walk while looking curiously at the other young gods around me.

Seeing girls talking to animals, boys controlling fire like benders, little stone men fighting like boxers, all very different from what I was used to.

When I finally arrived at my dormitory, I threw my things in the corner and began to walk in circles around the room, a habit I had brought with me from my past life.

The first thing I began to understand was the power structure of this world.

All the gods had at least a few worshippers who earned them a Divine Power Point with each prayer.

Gods needed very few Divine Power Points to live, which gave us a much longer life than a mortal.

As long as a god continued to receive enough Divine Power Points, he could easily live for thousands of years.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

These Divine Power Points could be used in three ways.

As fuel for our lives.

To fuel our Divine Power, much like the mana of the mages in the role-playing games of my former world.

And finally, to increase our strength.

According to the information I remembered from the class, I was currently a Rank 1 Embryonic Divinity, the lowest rank among the gods.

Some of the students in my class, who already had parents who allowed them to conquer some believers in the small worlds they controlled, had already accumulated enough divine power to become Rank 2 Embryonic Gods.

To rise from a rank 1 to a rank 2 embryonic god, I would need 10,000 Divine Power points, which seemed like a lot at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this number wasn’t that big.

Considering that an ordinary person only prays to a god once a week, this meant that a god would need at least 500 believers to pray to him every week for 5 months in order to rise to rank 2.

Rising from Rank 1 to Rank 2 increased your affinity with your divinity, allowing you to do more complex things, your attacks became more powerful, your creations became more intelligent… it was like upgrading your computer.

If you had an old computer at Rank 1, it was like upgrading the RAM from the original 2GB to at least 4GB at Rank 2. The computer still had a lot of problems, but at least it wouldn’t crash while you were using the browser.

With each rank you climbed, a small part of your computer would be upgraded, improving your use of your deity as a whole, until when the god reached the necessary divine power as a rank 9 embryonic deity, the god would be promoted to a rank 1 elemental deity.

There was a huge difference between ceasing to be a rank 9 embryonic god and becoming a rank 1 elemental god.

It was as if the god had upgraded the motherboard of his computer with a new processor, increasing the amount of RAM that could fit into the computer, decreasing the time it took to load windows, transferring files, everything was better, and with the possibility of even stronger upgrades than the previous generation.

Unfortunately, as a rank 1 Embryonic Divinity, I still had an old computer with limited functionality, just like the other students.

But the biggest difference was that while they only had one old computer because they only had a fragment of a larger deity, I had a server of old computers because my divinity was complete!

Deciding to finally test my divinity, I sat on the bed and began to feel control over my divinity.

It was a very strange sensation, as if I felt there was a football-sized amount of golden liquid inside me.

This liquid was the Divine Power I had received from the school staff, and it was going through some kind of filter at my request, which was shaping this Divine Power and finally letting it out of my body in the way I wanted.

The first time I did this, I used just one drop of Divine Power from the bucket and imagined something that could make my life in this world much easier.

As the God of Creativity, as long as I was creative enough and had enough Divine Power, nothing was impossible for me!

So, remembering every path the Divine Power took through my body and how the filter felt to shape that Divine Power, I felt it leave my body and opened my eyes.

In front of me was a very familiar status screen, the status screen of the game I developed in college!

=========================

| Character Status

=========================

| Name: Adrian InnovashineDiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

| Title: God of Creativity.

| Level: Embryonic Divinity Rank 1

|————————

| Divine Power: 3,351 / 10,000

=========================

Great! This would allow me to know exactly how much Divine Power I had in my body, and calculate exactly how much Divine Power I would use to perform any action in the future!

Not to mention, since I was the creator of this screen, as the God of Creativity, I could modify it at any time in the future to add any data I deemed relevant!

When I saw the more than 3,000 Divine Power Points in my body, I became thoughtful and cautious.

Just as those 3,000 Divine Power Points might seem like a lot, it could also be very little, depending on how much I needed to do the things I planned to do.

Since I didn’t have any believers, I wouldn’t get any new Divine Power except for the 20 Divine Power points the school gave us every week.

This Divine Power that the school gave us came directly from the teachers and other army personnel who used some of the Divine Power they received to raise new gods like us.

The Divine Power we received could be used in any way we wanted, whether it was for fun, to test and develop our divinity, or to pool it in order to rise to Rank 2, it was all up to the student.

The total amount of Divine Power we received in those 4 years of study is 4,000 Divine Power points, but for the 3,351 Divine Power points available in my body, I was disappointed that old Adrian didn’t even have the courage to experiment with his Divine Power.

This was partly good news for me, because now I could start my Divine Power experiments and develop something truly my own!
