Its Just A Game - Volume 1 Chapter 67

Its been about a week since the fight for the mines. Most of the army has returned to Sanctuary with a letter to start splitting the army into divisions and the divisions into squadrons. The divisions will have a general idea behind it and then the squadrons will have a more refined idea behind them under the division. I did keep a group of soldiers mostly goblins and ratmen to act as an information network and for defensive soldiers. Tho mostly the defensive lines are made up of undead. Most of the undead was raised by ratmen and goblin shaman trying to take up necromancy. Sadly most of their raised undead were very week compared to the mine, But now was a better time to train them in it than never. Tho most of the soldiers with any form of strength that wasn’t the regular cannon fodder.

Now, why am I staying here and not making my way back towards Sanctuary? Sadly the defensive force here could hold out for only a little while before falling if they were to be attacked again, With a force the 8th the size of that army. So I stayed behind as I should be enough to withhold that army just due to the fact I could slaughter them all for days on end without rest and they would tire out and moral would be pretty bad.

But, I haven’t been sitting around doing nothing. I have been working upon building laws for my micro universe. As just for the setup of the universe required a lot of work. From decided the dominant specie or species. how they came to be. Then came the Laws. OHH the laws. I could make them anything as long as I could withstand the backlash. But a simple law of the planet habitable for the species to live on and thrive on.

{Like I said to have less backlash. You have to be more specific and guide the law. Not just say what ya want and let the universe will to do the rest for you. It’s using your magic and lifeforce to create these laws. If you could die to suicide you would be a hundred times dead. Also, stop talking to your self and plan, Something, Anything.}

Hey, it helps me plan for what I am going to do. Also, do you think I wouldn’t abuse a skill if I could? I can provide more lifeforce to my general law every time I do this. I’m just increasing my life force with every attempt. (AN. I recap what happened in my last week of life to myself about once a week cause my memory is very bad and it helps. and bob is loosely based on me, a friend and the worst and best of humanity in my eyes. Also, explains why he talks to readers.)

{But you are losing a day of work. If you were in the pocket dimension Fine but you arent you are losing lots of time. Also what if they attack you while your body is reforming and capture and imprison you. We will be done for. Stuck in a cell sealed away maybe even thrown into a null zone where no one can get us only luck will allow us to get out and that be some damn near infinite amount of luck. Then what. You hole yourself away in your pocket dimension as your family and subject are slaughtered Because there only backing just up and got thrown into a null zone.}

Releasing a long sigh.” Ok, I wi…”

{I Ain’t done. You are getting more and more careless I was ok with it at first because a small amount is fine and I can cover for it, BUT, when you just go and start offing yourself every other day without any protection and while there are 20 other things more important you can be doing. Hell, you even adopted a little girl. Do you even plan on taking care of her just disappearing and leaving it to other to do the parenting.}

Hey, I didn’t adopt any little girl.

{Go tell that to her. But, whatever I am booting my self off for today see you tomorrow. Just remember. You’re a God, a Father, A son and a brother to several.}

[Tik, your system assistant has shut its self down. Do you wish to report this incident? Yes/No]

No, it’s fine.

An hour passed as I stared up into the sky processing all Tik said.

Slowly I got up, calling over A few goblins that have been watching over the past few days, asking them to go and tell the leaders of there groups that I will be heading out and sending some reinforcements.

Turning towards where Sanctuary was I let loose my wings hurling my self into the clouds. Soaring through the clouds. In complete silence no thought just silence as I flew towards Sanctuary.

Letting the wind roll along my skin. The cool water among the clouds clinging to my skin as the wind would pull it from my body. Slowly scanning the bustling plains with predators patroling pastures defending them from other predators as their prey ate with only a few keeping a watch among the predators protecting them and guiding the rest to a safe distance from the predators.

Picking up my speed.

Upon arriving at Sanctuary it was the dead of night. Making my way into my chamber in my temple. A small body was curled up upon the head of the bed cuddling a straw pillow.

Picking up her sleeping body I pulled the covers back, laying her down pulling the cover over her. Running my finger along her raven black hair. I rubbed her little head.

Moving to a closet in the corner of the room I opened it. Revealing a portal to the pocket dimension as I made my way in.

Quickly a day Passed in the pocket dimension as I came out with a tray of food setting it on the foot of the bed. Opening the curtains slowly to reveal the rising sun.

Moving over to the corner of the room leaning against the wall. Opening up the Systems shop browsing for anything useful.

Soon the bedding started to shift. Closing the system I staired towards the bed. Smiling as two little hands wiggled around from under the blanket slowly emerging pulling the blanket down. Right after waking up, she got to work, rolling up the blanket she started slowly plucking each and every piece of straw that came loose from her pillow stuffing them back in the bundle.

Once all the pieces were collected she hugged her pillow putting it to the side of the bed before rolling the blanket back out straitening it to the bed.

Hoping out of the bed she picked up her pillow before strolling towards the exit of the room.

Moving behind her I picked. At first, there was a little struggle.

Turning her head back a full 180 she stared up at me with joy dancing around on her little face. “Welcome Back.”

Taking a second to turn her around as I didn’t know how to feel watching a girl with a vibrant smile look like she had her hade twisted off.

“Yes, I am back.” moving her to a small chair at a nightstand way to small for me but still double her size. Grabbing the tray of food I placed it on her lap. “Eat up.” Removing the lid to the tray revealed an Eggs, bacon, toast and sausage breakfast. A simple but, favourite.

Watching her grab a sausage by both ends taking a giant bite out of the middle. Before stuffing both of the ends into her mouth stuffing her cheeks like a chipmunk.

“There is no hurry you can take your time.” She Looked up to me with watery eyes and her cheeks puffed out. You can eat as fast as you want there’s just no rush. Looking back to the food for a little she grabbed the toast and slowly brought it to her mouth before devouring it in seconds.

Sitting on the edge of the bed I watched her rip through the entire plate of food. Moving over to grab the tray I placed it beside me. Picking her up after I sat once more on the Bed.

“I’m going to ask you something. Don’t feel like you have to give me an answer and don’t feel afraid to say no.” Taking a slow breath I turned her to face me. “Would you mind If I ado.. would you be my daughter.”

Without saying anything she buried her head into my chest. Nodding her head fervently as a stream of tears started to run down my chest.

Smiling I ran my hand through her across her back.
