"マジで？"( Seriously? )

"何これ？"( What is this? )



When I tried to look around, I finally noticed. I couldn't open my eyes.

Then after waiting 10 seconds the status window disappeared.

I tried to move and talk, but not even a single muscle wished to obey me.

Oi...What is this?

Then, a ray of light entered my eyes. Soon, my vision was clear once again.

Are~?

Hey, where the heck am I?

Right in front of my eyes was a pagoda made out of gray marble.

Gathering my thoughts, I slowly inhaled a breath of air.

The cold air tickled the hair on my skin.

"Woah, it feels so comfortable!"

Surveying his surroundings, the pagoda was surrounded by numerous pavilions and gardens.

In a particular pavilion he could see a young girl drinking alone.

“Looks like she might be an approachable person, I need to know where I am.”

Slowly he strolled over to the pavilion.

"Ahh!"

The girl suddenly exclaimed and sloppily laid down on the table.

“What a peculiar person...”

"Excuse me miss, would you know where exactly are we."

"I kind of got lost..."

The girl took another sip, and then gently rubbed her left eye.

"What? LOST?" she exclaimed.

"No one has ever wandered into my Divine Domain before!"

"Looking at your puny appearance…"

The girl scanned my body.

“Wait, puny? Hey let me tell you that I was once on the Kendo national team alright!”

A blue vein popped on the right side of my head.

Ugh… I need to calm down or else I might offend this young lady.

And speaking of which, a divine domain?

The girl he was looking at had crimson red hair with bright azure streaks, coupled with her smooth 

silky skin and petite figure, she was the girl of every man’s dreams!

"Hmm..."The girl muttered.

"HAHAHAHA" she suddenly gave a loud laugh, giving off a weird middle aged presence.

"Uhm, could I ask you what is this Divine Domain?"

The girl, still giggling, wiped a tear off her eye.

"I can't believe it's already this time of the year." She muttered

"Hear me you low life plebeian! A divine domain is where a deity resides!" She shouted.

"This place is cut off from all interactions from the Gray World! No low life being like you can just wander through!"

The girl gave off a menacing and arrogant aura, reminding him of a little kid acting tough.

Seriously who does she think she is, and what the hell is she going on about.

"Deity? Don't joke with me missy, they don't exist!"

The girl didn't look like she could even hurt a fly! No wonder he didn't believe it when she said she was a deity.

"You insolent fool!"

The girl raised her hand and instantaneously, the surroundings changed to darkness.

"Ha! I can create and destroy everything in this realm at will!"

"... This could just be an illusion, how would I know you're a deity!?"

"You…"

"Fine. I'll show you!"

The instant she snapped her fingers, a string of light appeared and touched the man's forehead.

All of a sudden, a wave of images were projected in between him and the deity girl.

"Hmm looking at your memories looks like you are from World Ourborus under the jurisdiction of Ambriosa, the place which your kind call Earth, and the solar system the Milky Way."

"Hah! So you reincarnated here, what a loser."

The deity laughed mockingly.

"So, if you really are a deity, how do I go back?"

"Gahaha you want to go back? Sorry buddy but it's a one way trip!"

"It looks like some deities decided to have fun with you and sent you to my divine domain!"

"Alright now get the hell out! You're wasting my time!"

The girl arrogantly puffed up her chest and turned away.

"Wait, what's your name?"

"My name? A mortal that doesn’t know my name?"

The girl sighed disappointingly.

Was she expecting me to know her name?

"Mortal! Hear my name clearly, I am the god of the celestial beings, Elyspeth!"

*Ding*

【You've acquired a god's divine blessing ≪God of Celestial Beings Elyspeth≫】

"Hmm a Status window, looks like the Nature's Voice manifested like this."

"Let’s see… how do we do this again?"

Elyspeth muttered some words to herself.

Then a gray window appeared in front of her.

"Looks like you haven't been named. Hmm…A high human, interesting."

She had a look of approval on her face.

"What's this 1% Magic proficiency? Fine, let’s change this here and add this..."Elyspeth moved her fingers and pressed the status projection.

"Are you changing my status?"

"Hah since you're the first person to ever land in my Divine Domain I shall leave you with some parting gifts!"

"It's been a long time since I had any worshippers, be happy that I even spared your life!"

"...."

"Done! Although… there are some parts I'm not so sure about since I've haven't done this in forever!"

"Now since you don't have a name I shall bestow upon you a divine name, treasure it with your life."

"In my 13.2 Million Years of living I've never named a single being!"

"Now I name thee 雪森!" (Yukimori)

A dark shadow moved over his back and imprinted the words 雪森.

"Treasure it 雪森! Now I shall send thee to the Gray world!"

Before Yukimori could even say anything he appeared in a dark forest.

"何！？” ( What!?)
