I'm Going to Become a God Too?!

"Of course, you. The Goddess had recently been worrying about how to find a Divinity for you. But now there was no need—you could become a god through faith."

As she spoke, the puppet's face was filled with envy. "The divine name of the Internet God will be bound to you. Once it accumulates to a certain point, your life form will transform, and you will become a Nascent Deity!"

"Gods could be born like that?"

Roger was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time he had learned of such a thing.

"Gods are a special form of life, born from the worship and reverence of living beings. After a god falls, it transforms into a Divinity. By consuming it, one can inherit that god's position."

The puppet explained, "When the worship and reverence for the Internet God reaches a certain threshold, you will naturally become the Internet God."

"What's that threshold?!" Roger's breathing grew a little hurried.

He had never expected gods to be born this way.

Even less had he expected that he would have a chance to become a god... to become a god in this way...

It really was wondrous!

Attaining divinity through incense offerings, changing one's form of life.

By then, he would escape his Divine Spirit state. Even if he lost the support of Faith Power, he would not die.

The greatest problem—the path to resolving it—was right in front of him.

The puppet directly took out a crystal. "This is a useless Divinity that has lost its divine power. It is a natural vessel for absorbing Faith Power. The Goddess has inscribed your divine name and true name upon it. Consume it, and you will be able to sense the changes in Faith Power."

"The moment it is filled, you will completely evolve into a god!"

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Roger finally spoke. "Um, can a divine name be changed? Internet God sounds a little... a little awkward. I want to change it."

He felt that once a divine name was bound, it could never be changed for the rest of his life.

There were no name-change cards.

Better try before it was bound...

"If it can't be changed, then forget it. At least I can become a god..."

Seeing the strange expression on the puppet's face, Roger immediately sensed that something was wrong. But before he could finish speaking, the puppet's voice rang out. "So you also think that name is awkward! Then why did you choose such a name?"

"So it can be changed?" Roger felt his blood pressure rising.

"Of course it can be changed right now. What do you want to change it to?"

"Hmm—Technology God! Technology God!"

Roger thought about it. This divine name seemed to suit him best. "Go ask the Goddess to change it later. Since she can't get away, let's first discuss how to promote the Magic Internet."

"Puppet, you said just now that it could easily be designed in the form of a ring?"

"Yes. It can be designed as a ring. A light screen will appear and display information upon contact."

"Can only the user see this light screen, or can others see it too?"

"Either is possible. You can have only one person see it, or everyone see it. It is merely a difference in the runes." The puppet answered fluently.

She possessed extremely high attainments in the manufacture of magical equipment.

"Which one costs less? We need the cheapest possible method." Roger explained his idea in greater detail. "The materials in the Divine Kingdom are not endless."

The number of spellcasters among all intelligent life forms was certainly very scarce, but on a worldwide scale, the number would be considerable.

One ring for every person—even the Magic Goddess had to consider the cost.

This time, the usually quick-witted puppet fell silent. Only after a long while did she speak. "Using Refined Iron to make rings or pendants, which form a palm-sized light screen when activated, is the cheapest solution."

"Good! We'll use that plan." Roger nodded decisively. "Go back and make a sample Magic Net Ring first. Once we confirm there are no problems, begin mass production and complete the first batch as soon as possible."

"Magic Net Ring?"

"Yes, Magic Net Ring—the abbreviation for Magic Internet."

"Mm, it still sounds a little strange, but at least it's not so tongue-twisting." The puppet did not dwell on the matter. She casually replied, then vanished again.

"Book, I have a task for you... Hm? Book, what are you thinking about? Could something have happened to Magic Space?"

Roger suddenly realized something. Ever since Betty—the puppet—had returned from the Magic Goddess, this noisy fellow had not said a single word!

That was extremely abnormal!

Ever since he had first met this fellow, it had never stopped talking.

Even if he gave it an order and forcibly made it shut up, it could not stay quiet for long.

Why had it suddenly become silent?!

This change made Roger somewhat worried.

Don't let this fail before it even begins!

"Ah~~~ Why? Why are you already going to become a god, Lord Roger? Not long ago, you were still an ignoramus who understood not the slightest bit of supernatural power. How are you about to become a god? I studied for countless ages and accumulated endless knowledge. I even gave the Goddess some suggestions..."

"..." Roger nearly could not resist slapping himself. Sure enough, it was still a noisy fellow.

Besides, what kind of suggestions were those?

Brainwash every spellcaster directly? Make Kenuosencha's whispers echo endlessly in their minds if they refused to believe? What kind of devil were you?!

Roger took a deep breath. "Enough! Maybe you'll become the Server God or the Database God in the future. Right now, business comes first!"

"Server? Database? What are those? Can I really become a god too? Dear Lord Roger, even if I become a god, I will still be your loyal steward. That will never change..."

"Talk business! Stop rambling."

Roger suppressed the urge to beat this fellow up, though he could not hit it anyway. "I need you to pretend to be some very powerful beings and discuss all sorts of wondrous things in Magic Space—things that can interest people. I believe you should know quite a lot about that, right?!"

"Go do it. Stop talking to me. Once the Magic Net Rings become widespread and large numbers of spellcasters enter, you can chat with whoever you want. On the internet, people like talkative beings like you the most."

"Really, Lord Roger?! Right, mortals really are like that. As long as they come across a topic they like... I once went with the Goddess to the taverns most frequented by the commoners of Chilly Moon to gather information. They could gather there drinking and chatting for an entire winter. This is truly wonderful news..."

Before the book could finish, Roger had already returned to his room.

Hopefully, the appearance of the internet would make this fellow shift its battlefield!

Otherwise, he truly felt that he would go mad sooner or later. It was simply too noisy.

After drinking some water and throwing all the miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, Roger took out paper and pen and began to write and draw.

Any extraordinary being who had traveled through the mortal world would surely be astonished to discover that he had written down the general situation of the royal capital of the Dawn Kingdom.

It even included some secrets of the noble class.

But that was only normal.

He was Roger!

Roger Franz!

The third prince of the Dawn Kingdom.

Even though he had been sacrificed, his memories had been preserved.

The Dawn Kingdom did not belong exclusively to any one god.

In the royal capital, one could find at least twenty gods' churches... More importantly, it possessed the kingdom's highest magical technology. The Royal Mage Association, Magic Research Society, Rune Society, and dozens of magical organizations of all sizes were gathered there, while mage towers were countless.

The number of Low-Order Mages and mage Apprentices could only be described as innumerable.

This was absolutely the ideal place he understood best for spreading Magic Net Rings.

Using this place as a test site could not have been more appropriate.

Very soon, the entire Goddess of Magic's Divine Kingdom became busy.

Some were responsible for production, some for filling the forums with content, and some for... planning how to spread it!
