After checking the boost of the Skills, I quickly looked back into my Status:

Ah, stats are still locked and the same as ever, but I guess that\'s a good sign. As long as they remain frozen, I have infinite mana, a power even the gods fear, hehehe.

And… oh! Some things changed. It seems the [Divine Protections] section showed up. Is this something Alice did? Well, this now makes it clearer which gods have given me their Divine Protections.

Though I am not too much into the idea that I\'ll have to read their names every day from now on… But well, whatever. I guess Hyperion and those two other Gods just wanted to give me a hand.

Perhaps I was being the one being overly annoying with them? But yeah, forcing me to do their bidding is not something I am into either.

It felt weird in a way, like they really didn\'t had any bad intentions, but they also didn\'t seem to tell us all the truth either….

I suppose I should stop thinking that they have to be act like the villains I imagine they are. The world is not black and white, even the gods act sometimes good and sometimes wrong.

I suppose it is all gray at the end, they do good things and also a lot of bad things.

Perhaps even the Evil gods might be to blame for this as well, they do a lot of bad things but at the same time, I remember the God of Dungeons having some rather good intentions.

He wanted to end the cycle I also pointed out. He said he was doing all these things so he could end the endless cycle of destruction, the battle between heroes and a demon king, this endless struggle the gods had been doing for so long.

I guess he\'s doing it for the world\'s sake though, as it seems he had somewhat allied the World\'s Will. But that\'s where things get so weird, why the world itself is our enemy? It is the very place where we are living too… the world that brings me so much happiness.

Why must I fight it and even fight her children, the Demon King? Can\'t we find another way around it? can\'t we simply not… fight all the time?

The Evil God of Dungeons had some good ideas, but he still wanted to do it in an overly extremist way. He even said he was going to just wipe everything out, and only the most fitting would, or something like that, I can\'t even recall it well… But yeah, he had some good intentions but then mixed it all with his wickedness.

I guess you can\'t really trust someone called "Evil God" at all. But just how many Evil Gods are out there? And what are their truest intentions? I want to know about it, I want to know what they want… I\'ve already confronted them personally. I am sure they are not going to forget about me the next morning or something.

I might be ultimately targeted once more, someday, somewhere… If our own patrons don\'t want to help in anything other than giving us a little boost to our power and growth speed, then I\'ll have to think on ways to deal with them all by myself.

Ugh…

"Sylphy? What\'s wrong? Are you okay?" Aquarina asked, looking at me from the left side. Her bright blue eyes shining brightly.

"Yeah, I\'m not… I am so worried of everything happening… We should quickly go tell our parents about everything. I cannot simply keep this as a secret or something. They\'re more experienced than us, I am sure they can find some answer." I sighed.

"Let\'s go then." Aquarina smiled, showing me her hand.

This world so filled with so many threats and challenges, with an uncertain future, where I am constantly wondering what it will be of me and everyone I love…

Sometimes I feel so desperate that I cannot properly think straight.

But as long as I have them with me.

As long… as I have her with me.

"Yeah, let\'s go."

I think I can keep going.

At least a little further.

And see what awaits our future.

"I know it must be hard, just calm down. Once we speak to our parents, they\'ll figure out something." Aquarina smiled.

"Aquarina…" I sighed. "Yeah, I guess…"

We walked downstairs and meet with the rest of our family. Aquarina\'s parents were here having breakfast, or well, preparing it. My parents were enjoying the weekend and little Zephy was playing around with his wooden toys while practicing shadow magic he began showing off some months ago, he mostly creates tiny threads of shadows and make his toys move around.

Zack and Ninhursag were naturally here, and even uncle Arafunn. Well, I guess that\'ll make it easier. Though if we have Celeste here that would make it even better as she had direct contact with Evil Gods years ago.

"Hey, there you are!" My father said. "Huh? What with the long face?"

"Sylphy?" My mother asked.

"Well… There\'s a lot we need to tell you." I sighed.

"Yep… last night we were… dragged into the realm of the gods. All twelve of them showed up…" Aquarina sighed.

"All twelve of them?!"
