DivineStore

Matt's heart calmed down when Jason returned his smartphone. "Yes, the duo noticed nothing," thought Matt.

With a smirk on Matt's face, he told the duo about his experiences the past month using the device. How he loved the editing speed, video quality and recording process was a breeze. He also gave suggestions about user interfaces (UI).

Jack and Josh changed into a professional look. They transformed the prankster duo image into researchers and engineers. Their discussion interrupted by sounds produced by Matt's stomach. It reminded Matt that he missed his lunch today.

Adjourned their meeting, the three brothers stood up. Unfortunately for Matt, the prankster duo unsatisfied after being locked up for almost 2 months in their office. They picked up Matt and dragged him again. No matter how much Matt struggled and tried to evade was not effective. This time the trio destination was the dining hall.

When the trio arrived at the dining hall, other people almost finished with their meals. Jack and Josh dropped Matt at the dining hall and said goodbye to Lynne and Clara. They immediately went to their office, leaving the orphanage without eating dinner.

Matt said hi to his mother, Brad and Clara, then he went to get dinner. Mom and Clara made small conversation and Matt joined only when inquired. Then the other children get up to their bath and studies. Next Clara left and went to clean the kitchen, and just Mom, Brad and Matt remained at the table.

"Matt does the duo play pranks on you again?" Lynne asked. "You look preoccupied during dinner."

"No mom, they are cool, I'm thinking about other stuff. New app to play with Hanz," Matt answered with a half-truth. Hanz was his friend who seated next to him in class. They are the best buddy. Since Lynne already met Hanz a few times, it was convenient to use his name as an excuse.

"I'm done here. Mom see you tomorrow, and Brad how college? Hope it's fun there." Matt hastily walked out of the room and don't wait for Brat answer.

"Well, that's something we don't see recently..." Lynne shook her head at her sons antic. The pair forgot about dinner and Matt's eager escapades.

"Yeah, since last Christmas if not mistaken," added Brat with a chuckle at the end of his sentence.

Matt escaped to his room behind the orphanage. He locked the door and sat on his bed. He can't wait any longer and tapped the DivineStore icon to launch the application.

Half afraid and half expecting something big to happen, Matt unconsciously held his breath. The application loaded normally and show him the welcoming screen.

"Divinity birthed,

Immortality gained,

Karma always comes around,

End marks a new beginning."

It displayed the quote on the welcoming screens, loading icon was spinning and suddenly Matt saw darkness.

He was floating inside the darkness then he saw stars, thousands of stars shifting and formed constellations. Matt was not interested in astronomy so he can't recognize even the common one.

Then a screen formed in front of him. Divine Store in the header, strings of numbers and symbols, multiple tabs and icons are on the screen.

"Well, this UI intuitively designed. Almost looks like the app store and play store styles." thought Matt.

Three tabs have words on it, 'Body', 'Mind', a few locked tabs and the rightmost 'Contact'.

When Matt focused on the body tab, an introduction on the body came into his head. "I can train the mortal body to increase the amount of strength contained. The divine body built from divinity, energy from the faith of others. So divine body strength is in proportion to the amount of divinity cumulated. There was also Spirit body, demonic body and hybrids."

Next Matt changed his focused on the mind tabs. Similarly, an introduction about minds came into his head. He skipped the info and focused on the contact tab. This time a pop-up floated in the UI.

[Contact Module started for the first time]

[connecting ..]

[Hermes added to your contact list]

[Hephaestus added to your contact list]

[Completing ..]

The screen changed to show contact list with 2 entries only. Matt wished to check the god's details but interrupted by a caller screen.

[Hermes calling..]

[Accept <<...>> Reject],

Great I have so many questions about the DivineStore. Matt accepted the call and greeted by laughter.

The caller screen dissolved into motes of lights and reassembled into a smaller version of Hermes in front of him. It looks like a 3d holograms thing but more realistic.

"Finally you open the application," Hermes said in between his laughter.

"How do you like the feeling of the application?" pride in full displayed on his expression.

"Great so far, So you made it with your power?" inquired Matt.

"Sadly, no, its Zeus domain. The small blue lightning made it possible for the app. and his power restricts mine so I can't play any pranks on you." still looking prideful Hermes continued. "But the contact module was my masterpiece if I may say."

"What is the difference if I may ask? the smartphone already has a call function. isn't it redundant?"

"Then let me enlightened you mortal. a few functions already unlocked for the module is you can add anyone, into your contact list. From people you have met to gods and immortal. The hell with it, I also include the function for you to contact animals and plants... How's that?" Hermes gestured to the plus sign on the contact list, and a list of names come out in front of Matt's eye.

"This is all the people you came across before. As long as they accepted your call, you can have conversations with them and they will be added to the contact list" Hermes went on and described the function of the contact modules. Matt can't believe his eyes. In summary, as long as he met a person once even briefly, he can contact them without getting their number first. He can also apply filters such as distance, jobs, name or address to this new list. It can furthermore translate animals and plants thought into words that Matts understand.

"So, you can call like normal, converse inside your mind or talk face to face in here, your little divine space" Hermes concluded his explanation.

"Wow so OP!" Matt gave two thumbs up to Hermes.
