I Became the Goddess of a New World

Chapter 40




[Akashic Record Gallery]

The first clear of the Elder Lich Raid has come through.

Now that the outline of Akare’s main story has somewhat emerged.

The Akashic Gallery is overflowing with countless teasers.

Teasers about the Second Awakening. Teasers about the main story.

Teasers about a new area.

Teasers regarding the new class, Cult, and so on.

Especially the new class, Cult, which hasn’t even revealed how to change classes yet.

It’s only been named on the official site, and there’s no fragmented information available.

The human psyche can’t help but feel curiosity from the unknown. Especially for men.

For that reason, while intrigue about the Cult was growing, a post suddenly popped up in the Akashic Gallery.

Aurora’s brief appearance in the volunteer orphanage Vlog was captured.

Following that, an endless stream of derivatives started appearing in the Akashic Gallery.

She’s pretty and has a good heart, definitely a top-notch bride candidate. She must be busy, yet still finds time for volunteering.

Aurora truly loves little children, huh… That aside.

[Title] Kabungi Couldn’t Resist and Donated to the Orphanage

(Proof of donation to the orphanage)

While watching the video, I noticed Aurora was playing with siblings.

The brother has severe eyesight issues, and the sister is inherently disabled in her legs…

I felt so heartbroken that I went and donated.

The post went up in the early morning, and a few moved by emotion started donating.

This triggered a half-day repeat of donation confirmations flooding the forum.

Suddenly receiving donations from an unspecified multitude, the orphanage initiated an investigation.

They discovered that the source of the donations was a community site with a poor external image.

The orphanage collaborated with the Vlog creator, responsible for the incident, to produce another video for their channel.

The gist of the video was a heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated.

And an immense gratitude towards Director Aurora for coming to volunteer directly.

Of course, the video wasn’t just about expressing gratitude.

The many who were curious about why Aurora went to volunteer at the orphanage.

As soon as the reason popped up through the orphanage teacher who appeared in the Vlog,

the Akashic Gallery exploded with posts like never seen before in history.

Is the class change condition for the Cult a betrayal from the Priest state? [19]

Cult) From now on, those affiliated with the Salvation Church and the Church are not human [30]

Priest) As the kids said, I prayed to Aurora [23]

How can the class change condition be to trust the Director, LOL [13]

Changing to Cult, I got a Church’s mark? What’s that? [26]

Akare << What is this? Even the visually impaired can see? [37] ――― The siblings were able to access Akare with a capsule provided by their caretaker. They could see in the Akare world and walk directly. Since Akare allowed internet use even within the game. Wanting to know about the one who gave them miracles to escape their grim reality, they discovered the answer. Thus, the siblings' faith towards Aurora flourished rapidly... And that became the decisive reason why the Akashic Gallery began to worship Aurora. ――― [Title] Cult) Who is Aurora, anyway? (A gif of Aurora’s statue in the Hall of Heroes) To the blind, he is sight.

To the hungry, she is a cook.

To the thirsty, she is water.

If Aurora claims it, I agree.

If Aurora speaks, I listen.

If there is just one fan of Aurora, that is me.

If there are no fans of Aurora, I do not exist.

Pretending to worship, but secretly throwing shade at the end, f***.

N~ The average of Cultists is like that, right?

N~ Fact) All stolen gifs, so it’s fabricated.

N~ Cult inciting slander, nah nah nah.

Info) The author just posted an authentication post as a Priest 10 minutes ago.

N~ Is this real?

N~ The Inquisitor is a former Priest, LOL.

N~ Wow, it’s scary how they come for you.

―――

Initially, they used the worship meme simply for a joke.

But over time, sincerity began to seep into the worship as time passed.

Virtual Reality << That technology won’t be here for another 50 years [12] At this rate, isn’t Aurora really a goddess? [29] Honestly, her looks give off a goddess vibe [34] Just normalizing the shelters makes her a goddess [18] Damn, another Aurora tease; I have to worship her [25] ――― The first virtual reality. A miraculous product of technology. Some advanced countries had already been plotting to steal that technology, but no nation could harvest it. They managed to acquire a prototype of the capsule to analyze, but they couldn’t. It was an unidentified enigma, a living mystery. “Ha…” After watching all this unfold, I let out a sigh. “Now they even think of her as the goddess Aurora…” I thought I’d gone quietly, totally unnoticed. But to think I’d appear in some other volunteer’s Vlog? I didn’t even want to blame the person who posted the Vlog since it was a fleeting moment. I was just extraordinarily unlucky. “The Crown Prince’s consideration has turned useless.” We were supposed to go out three together, but because of me, it felt wrong for them to volunteer at the orphanage. Noticing my discomfort, the Crown Prince went out with Akachan instead. I, on the other hand, felt much more at ease and went to volunteer at the orphanage, spending healing time. 'Nothing is going as expected.' Of course, if I hadn’t shown my true face at the orphanage, this wouldn’t have happened. But as soon as I saw my younger sister, smiling while watching my live stream, I lost all reason. Seeing things through the phone was nothing compared to reality. Wanting to make the poor child happy is a natural desire. In that spirit, I briefly, just for a second, dropped my disguise. And at that very moment, another volunteer filming the Vlog walked past. That was the whole story, leading to the Akashic Gallery’s donation frenzy and yet another visit to the orphanage. This time I met with the director and the siblings’ caretaker, without hiding my identity, to speak the truth. Well, since both the director and the caretaker were kind-hearted folks, they instead thanked me. So the issues related to the orphanage were somewhat resolved. The real problem was the Aurora goddess theory developed by those troublemakers in the Akashic Gallery. At the moment, the majority of posts were drips based on worship memes, but signs showing that their adoration for me was becoming increasingly sincere were observed. At this rate, I’d definitely be treated like some goddess. 'I am not a goddess.' Just a somewhat stronger person who saved this world? True, I was the first to realize virtual reality. But without the Creator’s authority, it wouldn’t have been possible. "Akachan is closer to a goddess than I am." Shaking my head— Akachan, who had been monitoring from the side, nodded. "Goddess. Refusing now is already too late." "What do you mean too late?!" I wondered if there was a good way to tackle this situation. I turned my brain as hard as I could, and thanks to that, a good method popped up. With the introduction of the Cult, a rival relationship with the existing Church was established now. Taking one of the Priest’s Second Awakenings, the 'Inquisitor' class. To purify the heretics who worship a mere Director. Coincidentally, my alternate character’s class was Priest. I really didn’t want to use this method, but I had no choice. It was time to transition from Director Aurora back to player Pera. After making the decision, I accessed Akare as Pera’s body. *** [Suzuka’s broadcast has started. - Akashic Records 1 hour ago] [Suzuka’s broadcast title: Cult?] Suzuka was the most influential streamer among those playing Priests. The main character of the Elder Lich purple raid. The mother of all Priests. The true Saint, and so on... She was nicknamed the Rice-Throwing Saint and was compared to some hacker, a genuine Priest, but even Suzuka couldn’t resist the curiosity about the new class. "Should I change classes? Or not? Should I? Shouldn’t I?" ――― Please, just change your class already. The usual WWE C’mon Stop cooking me. The National Priest Association is watching. ――― The change conditions for Cult were so easy. Trust Director Aurora while in the Priest state, and you’ve met the class change conditions! Since it was so simple, Suzuka had no choice but to ponder even more. The Church doesn’t take back someone who’s turned once. "The Church’s doctrine is a bit, well, boring." Every person’s heart has a plethora of colorful gods. Not specific gods, but gods that exist solely in the heart. From a modern perspective, the 'god' referred to by the Church was mere self-love. Self-esteem, confidence, self-admiration. Well, stuff like that. "Surely, I think being in a Cult would be more interesting." A job that worships an existing Director? Just hearing it seems fun. There’s no way a more enjoyable job would come out. The moment she was sure, Suzuka finished her long contemplation. [Transforming into the Secret Class 'Cult.'] [The Church's mark is permanently affixed.] "Heh... The skills are, well, similar." The Primary Awakening Skills of the Priest, Brilliant Light and Judgement's Hammer disappeared. Replaced by the primary awakening skills of Cult, Shadow’s Betrayal and Apostate Whip. The passive skills and basic skills stayed the same, overall it felt similar. "Suzuka-san...?" "Ah, Pera-san, long time no see." Pera, whom I hadn’t contacted is meeting after a long time. Suzuka turned towards the sound of Pera’s voice. Soon, she could see Pera looking betrayed. "Why is someone as awesome as you, Suzuka-san, going Cult...?" "Ah, I’ve played enough as a Priest. I’m getting a bit tired of it..." At Suzuka’s answer, Pera’s lips trembled. "Traitor." "Huh?" [Priest 'Pera' is starting the Inquisition.] [The Church's mark!] [PVP is forcibly activated.] Pera's cross turned into Judgement's Hammer. Pera is a Priest. Suzuka, who betrayed, has become a Cultist. It is customary for the Church to properly judge those who stray. "I can’t forgive you." There’s no disagreement. Pera swung the hammer with all her might towards the Cultist Suzuka.
