Chapter 52
Gods were special beings.
They were different from the monsters you may have encountered on a venture into a nearby forest, but also significantly unlike any old invisible spirit.
They were quite literally spiritual beings—the embodiments of certain concepts, wishes, and miracles that could not physically exist in reality.
Therefore, they had special abilities that could not be used typically, as well as many abilities that couldn’t be rationalized using common sense.
Usually, they inspired natural phenomena to occur such as rain, or thunder and lightning… but the powers of this young god were slightly different.
「Trials and rewards.」
This god possessed the ability to grant that which a person desired, should they overcome a trial proportional in difficulty to the desired reward.
「Julius recalls a certain incident Heinel goes through during the novel. When he travels to the Great Forest…」
Each person’s trial was different, and during one, the mind was moved to a different place.
