Chapter 38: Ch 38 - One after Another
Apostles.
A rank of honor offered to those who show their strength and devotion to their respective gods.
It is both, an honor and a lifelong reward given to the most loyal believers.
In a normal sense, if gods were to be called almighty, then apostles — the beings known as their proxy — were no weaker than demigods at their full potential.
Miracles, abnormal strength, overpowered abilities, and most of all, influence and the weight of being the god’s proxy — Kai had rejected all of this at once.
Even inside the game, where hundreds of thousands of gods existed, those who had become proxies to even the weakest of the gods, it was a fact that they had lived their lives in luxury.
At that point, Kai’s dream of living a normal life just like others could’ve been achieved just like that.
But he was thinking of a future so distant, that it made it seem almost unreal.
Just like how he knew the existence of gods and apostles, he knew that such a job was not meant for him.
Becoming a god’s apostle was no better than becoming their true dog in existence and wagging the tail at their — the master’s — orders.
In a job where even the slightest bit of negligence would cause one to get their powers stolen by their gods and fall to the level zero, it was too big of a risk.
Not to forget, once bound to a god, one could not grow stronger than them, for their strength belonged to them and came from them; thus, in no sense could they surpass their masters.
