Tima the Creator God's Overlord Journey Chapter 16

I poured a great deal of emotion into the first half of this chapter. Tima is a character I like very much, yet her eventual fate was so helpless and heartbreaking that I couldn't help writing this part, emmm... It also broadens the worldview a little and digs another pit, I suppose (￣▽￣)

Chapter 7: Twin Sisters

YGGDRASIL, set against the backdrop of Norse mythology, was a game with an exceptionally broad degree of player freedom compared to other DMMO-RPGs of its time. There were easily more than two thousand basic and advanced classes and races combined.

Among them, classic RPG races such as humans, elves, dwarves, beastmen, and undead, along with their advanced forms, remained the first choice for most players.

As for classes, most followed the classic development paths of warriors, mages, priests, thieves, and the like, supplemented by each player's own interpretation. That was the usual choice for ordinary players.

However, not everyone was an ordinary player—there were ultra-core players who pursued combat power to the extreme, collectors obsessed with rare races and classes, and hardcore gaming nerds who invested far more time and money into the game than ordinary people.

It was these people who often uncovered rare, even hidden, variations of races and classes.

Representative examples were the extraordinarily powerful classes with the "World" prefix, including 'World Champion,' 'World Disaster,' and 'World Guardian.'

Among Aya's former gaming companions were Tachim, a 'World Champion,' and Ulbert, a 'World Disaster.' Both were powerful core players, the strongest warrior-type and mage-type members of the party.

Then, aside from the powerful World classes, there was another category of classes and races born from players raising their characters in ways beyond all reason. In some respects, they were even rarer than World classes—perhaps even unique within the entire game.

Aya had only ever seen two such race-class types. One belonged to her gaming companion Momonga: the 'strongest instant-death class,' [Eclipse], born from taking necromancy and instant-death abilities to their absolute limits.

The other was Aya herself: the 'strongest summoning race,' [Mother Goddess of Life], developed by taking the racial bonuses of the life attribute to their absolute limits.

By sacrificing a great many levels in this line, she had gained additional summoning uses, higher-level summons, top-tier all-around buffs to their range and power, as well as two powerful racial talents.

One of them was called [Sea of Life]. Under a series of specified conditions, it could create permanent summons. These creations were above level 80, possessed stats exceeding those of ordinary creations of the same level, and received additional positive bonuses from buffs Aya applied to them.

However, on Aya's first day in this world, after unlocking Mother Goddess Domain I, she had been affected by her racial nature and stared directly at it. She had subconsciously activated this skill, draining the life force of every werewolf in the surrounding area.

"And so, we were born." The beast-eared girl in an apron sat on her knees across the wooden table, earnestly and meticulously explaining the entire course of events.

"I thought what I released back then was only [All-Range Life Drain]." Reflecting on her mistake, Aya sighed, took a bite of bread, then another bite of fish.

"After ten hours of incubation, we were born from your Temple of Life. Relying on the coordinates we had located, we found Mother's position. We dared not delay and hurried here to serve Mother." The beast-eared girl opposite her wore a blissful smile, which made Aya feel deeply uneasy.

"When we arrived, Mother was retiring for the night, so we first cleaned and prepared food. We hope Mother will be satisfied," the girl continued.

"Serve me, and all that..." Aya's mother had died of illness before Aya was old enough to remember her. Aya herself had not lived long enough to reach the age when she could become a mother, so she had never experienced a normal mother-daughter relationship.

Was a normal mother-daughter relationship like this?

Aya waved her hand and opened the floating window. As expected, there was still no logout button. She reached out and opened the 'Followers' tab. The original faerie dragon and treant had disappeared, replaced by two new names.

"Heavenly Wolf (Warrior)."

"Heavenly Wolf (Mage)."

They had been summoned in the Temple of Life and had likely used [Transfer] according to the coordinates. As for what those coordinates were, Aya had already figured it out. The ring she had recently put on her left ring finger was the medium linking her to the Temple of Life.

The faerie dragon and treant had both reached their time limits by now, while these two new additions should be the two beast-eared girls before her.

Hoho, they were even twins. What a rare case. Aya's player spirit briefly rekindled, only for the many more problems before her to plunge her back into distress.
