The Godling Sagas: A Realm Reborn

Aftermath of Liberation

Aftermath of Liberation

Jun 19, 2022

   Chief Wakababii turned to Hinami and I asked her to translate what he was about to say to the Romans and she agreed. He then turn to the Romans with all of his tribe able to hear him as well. He spoke in the language of the tribe relying on Hinami to give a proper translation, "The future Chieftain of the Sun-Blessed Tribe has declared that he will not let you return to a life where you will be enslaved or abuse. With a fire in his eyes he is determined to see you all succeed and to help you along the way. He has put a lot of faith and trust in each of you that you will not fail to meet his expectations. From this day forward we welcome you into our home and if you can prove yourself by working hard and helping then you will to join our tribe one day. So long as you remain with us we will not only protect you but teach you how to protect yourselves. For as our future chief has already declared if someone challenges one of us, then they challenge us all. Hold your heads up high because from this day forward you will be reborn in the light of the sun." 

   As the entire tribe, Charlemagne included, heard that he had been declared the future chief of their people they all seemed in shock. As the Romans heard the translation they looked to him and bowed in deep respect and thanks, vowing to not fail.

   Charlemagne knew what this meant, and he supposed it was better than the alternative where he would be banished from the tribe. As he gave about of respect to Chief Wakababii, certain very vocal members of the tribe began to speak out against the Chief's rash decision. Chief Wakababii slam down his spear with enough force to actually crack one of the stones it hit just enough.

   He told them clearly, directly, and boldly, "The decision has been made in accordance to the customs of the tribe and to the customs of Hinami and Vaxalyn's own people. Charlamagne will marry both of my granddaughters and he shall become the new chief of the tribe after my son has decided to pass leadership of this tribe to him. In 1 month from now my son shall take my place as the new leader of our tribe. This decision is final do not question it again."

   Realizing that none of them had any right or power to change the chief's mind they gave up and went to their huts. Charlemagne stood stunned and transfix hearing that this decision had been made even though he knew it was most likely a possibility. The chief had always talked about the idea of Charlemagne becoming a part of his family and now that looks like a very real reality. However the idea was not one that he was against just one that he was hoping would not come for some time. 

   Knowing the customs of their tribe he would not be forced to marry the twins until they had both become adults in the eyes of the tribe. Meaning they would have to become 15 years old and then pass test that all tribesmen must take. Which would not occur for at least another 3 years.

   He started to slowly make his way home for the night using Lesser Transmutation and Minor Geo Manipulation as he walked to build temporary tents for most of the people. He told them that those that wish to stay in the home could and those that wanted to sleep in the tent also could and that no one would bother them.

   As he was leaving them to all go and see about getting some sleep, Drusilla rushed over to almost stumbling still somewhat light-headed but mostly recovered. She hugged out of instinct and thanked him, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You saved my mom and dad. You saved me. Thank you so very much for everything that you've done for us."

   He was a little taken aback by this as he wasn't expecting such a display of gratitude but ultimately he slowly calmed and hugged her back. Charlemagne told her, "No thanks needed. I promised you I would save your family, and me and my dad keep our promises. I hope my mom took care of you while we were gone."

   Drusilla nodded and pulled away, "I promise to make this up to you." He patted her on the head and gave her a smile. 

   As he turned to leave his father laughed at him a bit, "Not bad. Keep this up and you'll become a hero in no time. Let's head home and see about dinner."

   Hinami proudly declared with a mighty face that she had cooked a massive feast to make sure that her brave warriors would return with a delicious meal. Returning home they all saw the massive meal that she had prepared for them and it was quite the feast.

   Meanwhile back in Tripoli both the general and governor are discussing the recent attack. Governor Benitus shouts at the general, "Are you seriously telling me that you knew of this threat nearby for over a month now and you did nothing about it?! How incompetent are you, Cintus?!" 

   General Cintus told him, "Shut up you fat pig. Over 1,000 of my men are dead and the slave market district is mostly burned down. Do us all a favor and go back to drinking in your filthy home. You are pretending to be a governor in all you do it's just getting drunk and beat on your family. Everyone knows that I'm the real leader here so shut your fucking mouth."

   The governor had enough being talked down to and through his goblet of wine all over General Cintus. The General annoyed that a goblet just smacked him up against the head and wine stains his uniform took his sword and sliced the arm off of Governor Benitus. Falling back and trying to crawl away while screaming in pain Benitus immediately realized his mistake and was terrified of the general.

   Cintus looked down at him furious and disgusted, "You little shit! How dare you?! It's time I slaughtered you like the pig you are!" 

   Without hesitation or care he began taking his sword and stabbing Governor Benitus repeatedly all while smiling because he had wanted to do this very thing for years now. As he took enjoyment out of getting rid of a thorn in his side, he couldn't help as he stabbed the man; to remember back to the report that was given by the 2 scouts that survived the failed mission a month ago. At first he had took it with slight caution not really fully believing it, but now he knew that they spoke true and he needed a real plan to deal with this threat.

   Once he was done and the governor was dead, he called in his 2 most loyal soldiers. He looked to the one that was clearly trained to be a scout and ordered, "Daranatus send a message to the Consulship and tell them we found the first Star-Kissed. Tell them that his power it's enough to single-handedly slaughter thousands of soldiers and that we need a massive army of reinforcements if we are to stop him. I need you to make sure that they understand the severity I'm just how dangerous this individual is so that we can get as many soldiers as possible. Tell them 10,000 won't be enough; not even 30,000 would be enough. Do what you must to get us a large enough Army to completely annihilate that village. I don't expect a proper response or reinforcements for at least a couple of months but do everything that you can."

   He spoke to the other which clearly look like a Legate in the Roman army, "Gaius clean that fat fuck off of the floor, and make sure to get the blood out too. I don't want his disgusting blood all over my relaxation chamber. If anyone ask he was killed by a peasant who got angry that he was trying to rape their wife. People will believe that and they won't question it." 

   The two men gave a nod taking their orders and getting to work immediately. Cintus sat down and started to think of how to properly strategize this battle. It would be maybe 6 months before he would have enough numbers to properly work out the plan, but he needed a base to work off of.

   The next morning back in the village Charlemagne woke to see that he had risen to level 6 it didn't come with any new abilities or perks or anything, but it did come with a boost to his overall health and about 10 stat points and 15 skill points for him to work with. He just continued to improve what he was already good at so that soon he could be even better at it. He noticed that after reaching level 5 the gap between the number of kills that he needs to get from a normal human soldier to level up has drastically increased. So going forward he would need to kill way more basic human soldiers to level up then he had been. However he knew that eventually he would start running into monsters because Loki had told him such.

   For now he had a promise to keep to himself and to the village and to the people he helped save. Heading outside he saw that the new members of their village were already up and about. All of the children that had died had been laid to rest in the way that the Romans prefer to send off their dead. The living children began learning proper uses of magic from Hinami who was discussing with the chief loudly about the idea of building a school for them. He did not understand what a school was and she was trying to explain the concept to him. Most of the adults, women included, were being taught by Vaxalyn on how to use a spear and a sword. Those that clearly could not fight decided to make themselves useful elsewhere helping to farm the fertile land and start growing fruits and vegetables or helping to fish.

   After the long discussion last night about everything the chief, his mother, and his Uncle Bandii discussed about his future as the leader of this tribe; it became clear that they want him to start being proactive with helping to build the village up. So he decided to be proactive like they want it and first started with the idea of helping to build proper infrastructure for the town.

   To do that he was going to need helpers which meant that he needed to start teaching the children with his mother some of the spells that he knew that way the workload could be shared. Those that were born in the tribe already knew Minor Geo Manipulation and Minor Hydro Manipulation. Some of them also had been taught Minor Pyro Manipulation while others were taught Loving Hand or Heart of Health. It was them specifically that he would need to focus on teaching spells like Construct Framework, Lesser Transmutation, and Minor Telepathy. 

   However he also wanted to gauge just how skilled the newer children were when it came to what they could do with their magic. So he approached the children and as he did a raven landed on his shoulder. 

   He was not shocked by this raven in fact he knew it. It was the pet that he had rescued after it had a small break in its wing 2 years ago and he nursed it back to health while it was a baby that didn't know how to fly yet. It was actually because he wanted to heal the bird that he learned Loving Hand in the first place. He named the raven Lola because it was a girl. From time to time she flies off into the woods to look for food for herself but she always comes back after 2 or 3 days.

   He took his finger and began to pet her on the head as they walked and the children noticed seemingly surprised. Lola using her mimicry responded to his petting with, "Lola good girl. I love you." The language that Lola mimicked was English which to everyone here almost seems like a alien language but it definitely caught everyone's attention.

   He approached and asked his mother, "What's this about you wanting to build a school for the kids?" 

   She hugged him, "Morning my sleepy man. I see Lola came back from looking for food and friends in the forest. I was just telling the chief but I think it would be great to build a school for the children especially for those whose parents had already been sold. That way they could live at the school in dormitories that I could make for them." 

   Charlemagne hugged back before she let go. He replied, "You know that me and Dad are the only ones who actually know what you're talking about, right? You know why I know what you're talking about, and dad obviously is not from Earth to begin with either so he knows. You forget the people in this time don't even know what electricity is let alone what a school is. I agree that you should make it though especially because that will solve at least where the orphans will be staying. Until we can either find their parents or help them learn to live without them of course."

   Chief Wakababii asks a legit question, "Say that I follow along enough with what you are saying and allow it. How would you build it?"

   She replies, "Same as Charles did last night but on a much bigger and much faster scale because I only need the one spell. Where as he has to use a combination currently to pull it off."

   The chief thinks about it and sees all of the open space that they have in this massive clearing along the coastline. There was enough space to make the village almost five times bigger in this clearing alone. They could always chop down a couple trees if needed to make more space, but that wouldn't even be necessary. He says, "Fine build your shoe-el thing. I leave you in charge of seem to be children."

   As the chief walked off Charlemagne looked to his mother and explained, "I think this would actually be perfect. A school would definitely be a much better environment for everyone to learn magic in. Not to mention I think if we actually start teaching them how to use their magic to create homes, we can start to think about making the village a lot more self-sufficient. I have plans to start working on a actual plumbing and water filtration system for the village so we can have running water. With my Minor Hydro Manipulation I could also take a couple days and make a large enough fresh water reservoir to easily provide for everyone in the village to have fresh clean water to drink and cook with. I think if you can try and explain the spell that you're going to cast for me and the children, it might be very beneficial with starting towards working on that goal."

   Hinami started to think about the idea hot showers and toilets and she was delighted as they were dearly missed. In the room she came from such things were very frequent but since coming here she had to adjust to the nearer lack of any technology.

In the year 2055, the world is in chaos as World War 3 is in full swing and has been growing worse and worse over the span of the last 5 years. A lieutenant of the United States Army by the name of Charlemagne Ignis and the last 8 that remains of his platoon after the rest of their squadron was slaughtered fight to the very end until nuclear bombs begin raining from the sky. Right when the bomb is about to hit and all of them are about to die time seems to freeze and Charlamagne is given an offer by an unknown being calling itself God. He can die here, or he can be transported to a world like his Earth but with magic and monsters and potentially find a way to save humanity from death by nuclear fire. Only after accepting the deal from the mysterious entity that offered it, he learned that there was a bit more to the world and to the deal than he initially thought. Finding that the world was similar to some of the video games that he had played in his youth and that he was reborn as a Nephilim made him start to question whether or not he was really alive or just dreaming it all up before dying. With a whole world to explore and several mysteries to uncover, Charlemagne would immediately set out to try and figure out how this world worked and who the entity was really that offered him this deal.
