Operation Daybreak

First day on the job and I'm getting nervous now, I don't want to be a burden to my colleagues. Anyways I hate walking down the streets of New York, the atmosphere of this city is dreadful and it feels like the people aren't even alive yet it feels alive somehow even though it's a massive contradiction. The people here walk like soulless zombies but when there is danger they start to run and scream like normal people but they also don't freak out when they see a dead body on the ground. As I was lost in my thoughts I suddenly hit my head on the door of my new workplace. I climbed the stairs and entered the room, I didn't fully know the details of the room since I was caught up in the heat of the moment and that day was chaotic for me. The room had a coffee table in the center with some couches near it, on the side of the wall there was a bookshelf, with a table and a chair next to it. And as I entered Otto happily said [oh, morning Theo, I'm here to fully explain everything].

[what do you mean?] I replied

[well first of all about your parents, well how can I explain this, they became gods and are no longer able to enter this world] Otto calmly said and continued with [because of how many outer gods that they have killed they were forcibly ascended to godhood, because the divine throne of time said and I quote "it would be to boring if they were the hero's and always saved the day", of course now he doesn't do that anymore but for some reason he still doesn't allow them to interact with the mortal world].

What he said confused me as I was about to ask a question Otto immediately told me something interesting, he said [about the killer that tried to well kill you yesterday, well we've been investigating him and found that he is part of a group called "Loki's disciples", I think the person just wanted to harm you and them kidnap you because you are Loki's saint after all and you shou-], all of a sudden Theresa interrupted and said [อรุณสวัสดิ์ครับเจ้านาย], Otto replied [good morning to you too] and immediately told me that I should be carful in the future and under no circumstances should I interact with unit 1 and I should never reveal my existence to their boss because she would hate my very existence.

[oh yeah I forgot you uniform and badge, here] Theresa said to me while handing it over,[wait why do you have it] I immediately replied and she smugly replied with [don't worry about it, plus when you put it on I have to explain to you somethings] and she then proceeded to point to where the bathroom is, so that I can change into my uniform which is just a business suit and gloves.

After I've done changing Theresa said [now let me explain the gear that you own, so the suit your wearing is just a normal business suit but the badge you are wearing on it shows that you are working for us and it also allows you to put criminals in trial. And the helmet you are wearing as we previously discussed increases the regeneration rate of your blood but that feature is currently locked since we wanted you the experience the sensation of being essentially powered up. Also since the helmet you have is gen 1, it has a different password for it to be unlocked/activated, also all of the helmets have what we call desperation mode, which increases your survival instincts and increases your stamina, strength and endurance.]

[so the helmet is essentially extremely dangerous?] I asked her

[bassicly and gen 1 is the most dangerous since well it kills the user but some people can withstand it, like you since once you open up you status screen you would know.] Theresa replied to my answer.

[oh yeah, now I will tell you some very important information, the status screen that you choose that dictates your powers needs to changed since that limits your true potential] Theresa continue on.

[what do you mean?] I replied

[well, we special government agents have a different status screen than your average joe, system v1 makes it easier to get new powers and skills but it hold you back from your true potential and also it doesn't have a lot of divine power for ascension to godhood.] she said, and I was about to ask her a question she quickly replied [I'll answer your questions later we have to change your current status screen to system v2] and after she basically shut my questions down before I can get a chance to ask, she starts to chanting something that felt like a ritual of some kind and all of a sudden someone appeared all of a sudden and he looks half asleep and looks surprisingly human.

[he's the divine throne of time my sponsor *turns to her sponsor* hey dude can give him system v2 real quick] and he replied with a thumbs up and said [sure but next time you die you will revive 10 minutes later, for pissing me off... wait isn't he that psycho couple's brat, looks like he's going to share the same destiny as them… well it's not like I care about what happens to him, oh yeah here's the seed] and at a snap of his fingers the very core of my being is crushed and rebuild and my old status screen is going and was replaced.

[I don't feel like anything has changed like at all] I told her and she proceeded to tell me that [well it's because it's half of the process of being one of us next is devouring this seed, which is called "the seed of growth" and that's what my sponsor have cultivated and just gave me, it essentially "maxes out your level" and forcibly makes your "skill tree grow", in video game terms.]

[you could've just said that it bring out my full potential.] I replied to her and her questionable analogy. [well it would sound boring if I put it like that now eat it] she said while shoving the seed down my throat, and after swallowing the seed my body starts to burn up and feels like I'm being covered in hell fire and everything hurts and my 「trickster's eye」is starting to freak out and is clawing the insides of my eye socket. The pain lasted for what feels like an eternity.

[ok~, now stop being a drama queen and check out your stats] Theresa rudely said to me

[wait, I'm a demon? But my previous status screen never showed it] i confusingly asked her

[well yeah, because no other species uses v1 of the status screen and only humans use it, so because no other species in their right mind would use it, they gods that made it decided not to add or update it.] she told me

[why don't other species use v1?] I asked

[it's because it doesn't give you divinity obviously] she replied

[Also wait beginner? Shouldn't the seed of growth bring out my full potential?] I confusingly asked Theresa

[yeah, it did but you still need to work for it. You can just master something just by existing. That's what only possible if your the Divine Throne of Time, who is like a walking cheat code. Also, nice it seems like you have another sponsor and it's Mrs. Sora, the Divine Throne of Justice.] Theresa replied

[Wait? You know her, what's she like] I asked her

[well, she is married to my sponsor, well more like she forcefully made him marry her, even though I'm pretty sure he isn't even romantically interested in her, mainly because he was already married to the Divine Thorne of Fate. Who conspired with Mrs. Sora to make my sponsor get married to her. But overall she's a good person, oh I'm pretty she is a Demi human specifically beast folk.] she answered.

[Oh, that also means that whenever you die you will meet her] she added on.

[now stop asking me these questions and let's meet her now, well specifically you.] she said as she proceeded to stab me in the chest and kill me. But before I died my body started to glow and a angelic figure appeared behind me and said [remember my saint, justice will never fall].

[Ugh, you have an annoying new skill. It seems like it will protects you from dying] Theresa said as she was still continuing to stab me in the chest. And after a minute of stabbing me, it finally worked and I died.

[Wakey-wakey my saint~] said the unknown voice. [it's me your second contractor, Sora~] she continued

Ugh where am I, the area looks like a court room? [where am I?] I asked her

[this is my domain, since whenever you people from Daybreak die you go to your sponsor's domain, in which case all of you will go to the 10 divine thrones.] Sora replied.

[wait? The divine throne's domain. Did they lie to me about how they can't mention their sponsor's name!?] I quickly asked her

[??? oh, it seems like they have told you a white lie, it's half correct since most of them except for Teri and Luna have 2 sponsors. Teri is only contracted with my dear husband. While Luna is contracted with The Divine Throne of Creation Angelica, I'm pretty sure the reason why we aren't mentioned as much is because of our uniqueness as gods.] Sora answered

As I got up form the cold floor I asked her [so what do I do now, since I'm here]

[well, your one minute is up and I have no deals to offer to you so, please leave and try not to die as often as your lunatic parents.]

[wait what did they do to be called luni-] I tried to asked but she kicked me out of her domain.

[a%e #ou h@p#y n*&] I heard sora's voice drifting out and it seems like she is talking to someone

[wow, that was fast, she immediately kicked you out and my the millisecond too, what did you do to piss her off?] Theresa asked

[nothing, it seems like she is warry around me.] I told her

[since your parents are gods, i bet that they forced her to make you her contractor, but hey that's just a theory] she jokingly told me

[now let's take an normal commission. let's see *humming*..... oh found i decent one. Here take to look] she said as she shoves the paper in front of my face.

Commission level: normal. My son has been kidnapped by some human traffickers please help! Even though my family's poor, I will give you everything I have!

[Uhhh, shouldn't human trafficking be on hard, why is it on normal?] i asked her.

[it's because, it happens pretty often, duh. And the culprits are obvious, they are called the "Creators" and I have a grudge against them. They are one of the very very many factions that this city has, they kidnap or buy kids and preform some very illegal tests on them, the whole groups purpose is the create the perfect species. And they use be run by the !@#@#$@# group] Theresa told me

[sorry the, what group? That information was ringed out] I told her

[oh sorry, it's because they don't exist anymore. And the literal laws of the existence has muted their name. I won't say how or my because its extremely confidential, like knowing about it will get you killed] she told me

[so why do you know] I asked

[anyways look at my status screen, so we can work better together.] she said, obviously trying to avoid my question.
