Some Godly Flowers

Godland, the world where gods dwell. Everyone is a god, everyone I passed by is a god, that man reading newspaper is a god, that kid pointing to that tall skyscraper is a god, that old lady watering her plants at that apartment is a god, this officer in uniform, this girl with earphones, those at the diner, they're all gods. Well, me and Rohmn walking past them, too.

"Hey Rohmn, should we not ride or something? A portal would be nice. Or that space leaper," I began complaining since walking is such a strain.

"It's not really that far, so walking is enough. Also I didn't bring any money so you'll have to pay for me," damn you Rohmn.

Here in Godland, outside our own dimension, are lots of limits. We cannot do things that we can in our dimension here in Godland, like long distance teleportation, creation, mind communication or telepathy, instant knowledge of everything, etc. Basically, it's like the limitations we have when entering someone else's dimension. It was said that the owner of Godland was the all powerful one true God of all. Well, he or she was just a legend. According to our knowledge, the EP itself is the owner of Godland and thus EP here is unlimited. I know, it's tempting to just take EP here but that's illegal, a crime good enough for a ten thousand year imprisonment.

"Well, a space leap could be fun," Rohmn suddenly stopped. "I haven't done it since college..."

"If you don't have your own money then no!" Space leap costs quite high. "Let's just proceed to walking..."

After like a few hours of walking...

"Hmm... This note... from the Exvrion Family huh, well that means I could make an exception," a small crouching old man with glasses three times larger than his eyes.

"Say, old man, what is it that you do here? The one who gave this note to us didn't say anything," Rohmn was as curious as I do. But I'll let him do all the talking since he's good at it.

"Follow me, you'll know once you'll see," the old man then turned his back and walked inside his small house which kinda looked like a shop. The street doesn't even seem that crowded. Only minor houses with flower shops and small cafés.

Inside were well arranged antiques and some souvenirs in different kinds. From statues to swords, they have plenty. Yet, we went further inside, past his dining table and bedroom, into an outside fenced area. There, some potted weird-looking plants with weird-looking flowers which were weirdly placed at the foot of the plant itself.

"A garden?.. Or a nursery..?" I was curious as to which of the two.

"Ahahaha, it's actually both," the old man then picked up one of those plants and showed it to us.

"Hmm? What about these?.." Rohmn and I took a closer look.

"The flowers from these plants has the ability to produce Existence Particles," whaaaaa???

"F-for real?" I took an even closer look at the tentacle-like petals the flowers had. "EP production plants?!"

"Indeed, this was the Exvrion family's greatest creation, first created by their daughter Almerra Exvrion,"

"Heeeh?!?! Almerra made this?!" shocking since Almerra was not interested in new things. She would always say things like 'the ordinary is enough' or 'simple is best'. But to make something like this?!?! So far, nobody has made EP producing materials!

"I see, so maybe this is how she wants to help you, to buy one of these plants..." Rohmn made sense but, is it not just to have someone try her invention? Plus but? How much does one cost anyway?

"Ehh, judging from the note, she wants you to have five for free," the old man said after looking further at the note.

"Eehh?!?! For free?!?! And how did you read that when only the address was written?!" I mean like how?

"Probably from the writing style, there might be some kind of code," Rohmn then took a look at the note too.

"Hahaha! This is our secret way with our suppliers when we communicate. We somehow leave messages behind the message. It's more like a secret between us so please don't spread it," the old man was slightly embarrassed. "Miss Exvrion must trust you two this much."

"Ah, well we are friends since college after all," I scratched the back of my head.

"College huh, so you are a Creation God like her? My, how nice would it be to have your own dimension where you have all the authority," the old man looked solemn as he sat stared at the plants. "I wonder how my son is doing? it has been four thousand years since he had his own dimension. He never visited even once since then."

"Ah, I see. He must be very busy," I said that but, maybe it's not reason to not visit a family member. "Family huh..."

After we had the plants placed in a memory bag, Rohmn and I said our goodbyes to the old man and immediately went back to my dimension.

* Advertisement! Memory Bag!*

Have you ever thought that carrying your things are too annoying? Or that the item you want is too big and heavy? Then we have the perfect thing for you! The Memory Bag!

If your a gamer, you'll understand easy. Its a small subdimension where you'll have what you might call an inventory. This inventory contains a number of slots where you can just place any item, regardless of size, in one slot. How to access? Like a hologram of course! Simply think of opening it, and it will appear in front of you. Storing is basically hold the item, then register. Releasing? Just click on the item from the inventory and click release. Convenient!!

Now back to my own dimension, "Ahh! How it feels nice to have all the power and authority back to you."

"Well, you're the only one who'll feel it," Rohmn was stretching his arms though.

"Now to immediately know about my dimensio-" as I was about to accept all the information while I was gone...

"Dear Goooood!!!!!" Methero came instantly towards me and knelt down begging for mercy. "Please! Please! Forgive me!! Forgive this insolent being in front of you!!! Do your way with me, anything!!! Violate me if you may!! Use my body, my soul! Just forgive meeeEEEHHHH!!!!!!"

"Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-what Is it Methero?!?! Did something happen?!?!" just the way she behaved must mean something very serious must have happened.

"I'm filthy, I'm such a filthy vile creature! I don't deserve to live!!!" Woah, this must be very serious.

"Let's settle down first and talk things out. Let's go to the castle first..." I could just immediately know what happened but, it's best if I listen it out from her.

Now inside the castle, in the living room, I sit leisurely on my couch, Rohmn on another, while despite being forced not to, Methero knelt down on the ground. Her three halos were changing colors and spinning like crazy. Ah, she look so cute.

"So, what happened? If it's danger, I'll immediately know it... However, I felt no such thing. So will you explain Methero?"

"Yes, my god," she bowed her head down the ground. Annoyingly, Rohmn gave me a smirk. "It happened a while after you and God Rohmn left."

"Uhh, please raise your head. There is no need to do that. And I know you're nervous because I am your god but, there is no need to fear me that much. Just explain casually..." I don't want to intimidate her just because I am supremely higher, this goes to all my future creations too.

"Yes my god," and she sat down on the ground properly. "The truth is... I got curious of my existence, as well as yours. I know I'm not supposed to question you as my god but... my curiosity got the best of me. I went inside your room and..."

For some reason, I didn't notice myself holding my knees as if anticipating something.

"I laid down on your bed! I wanted to feel the same warmth you're feeling everytime you sleep. I leaned at the same window you would look at as if I was there with you. Worst of all, I even wore one of your shirts just to feel your existence!! Aah! Forgive me for my insolence!!" and she smashed the ground with her head.

"Hmmm... What should I do..." Ah, dang it! Those things that she did got me excited. Get it together Rym, you are a god. You should not be captivated by such things...

"Hey Rym," suddenly Rohmn communicated to me via telepathy. "You should punish her, or else she won't feel relieved off her guilt."

"But those aren't really bad things..."

"Fool, they may not be for you. But as a god, it's a violation. Creations shouldn't even touch private things belonging to you. In any way, they shouldn't feel equal to you or else they'd start looking down on you. At least show a little bit authority," I can't argue. Rohmn is right. I should set as an example of a fierce god.

"But what should I do?" Rohmn seemed to be more knowledgeable so I asked him.

"A light punishment would be fine, like cleaning or laundry or whatever, As long as it's punishment," Rohmn's answer is quite vague.

"Well then," I stood up and walked a few steps in front Methero and cleared my throat. "For your punishment!"

"Yes! Please!!" Methero's dragon tail began wagging like a dog.

"Well... you should..."

"Yes?!"

"Sit on the air..."

...

"Seriously Rym, can you not think of anything else?.." Rohmn's face looked sketchy.

"I mean, I don't really need cleaning since I could just do so with the wave of a hand. Same goes to laundry as well..." I mean, I am god of this realm.

"Gladly!! Punishment Accepted!!" and immediately, she sat on the air with enthusiasm to the maximum. "How's this my god?"

"A-ahh.. That's good.." I guess I do have one of a kind of an archangel.

Outside the castle, I have already placed the plants in a disorderly fashion. "They do best when away from each other," was what the old man said.

Still, Almerra sure did her way into making these. She sure has changed after graduation. Plus dang it she's super rich! What was all that 'father has a lot of debt' talk about. I guess everyone has their reasons to keep secrets. Well, same goes for me. I could never tell them what happened five hundred years after graduation. Or perhaps I shouldn't...

Wait...

What did I do at that time?..

"Oh, planted them already?" Rohmn suddenly came to me. "It hasn't even been five minutes."

"Well, I am god of the dimension..."

"Ahaha, yeah."

"Anyway Rohmn..."

"Yes?"

"Why are you still here? Don't you have your own dimension to take care of?" he is a graduate god afterall. Why is he here?

"Ah, I don't need to tend to it all the time," Rohmn just shrugged his shoulders.

"Hah?! What kind of an irresponsible god are you?! To let your own dimension be?!"

"Well, I had someone else take over for a while..." just what is wrong with this god?

"Wait, don't tell me... You had someone rent your dimension?!?!" i remember Rohmn since training, he had always been involved in bets. Could it be that he bet his own dimension??

"I lost a bet you see," Rohmn just scratched the back of his head and laughed. To the netherworld be with you!!!

Thankfully in whatever means, a dimension must never be disowned nor taken away from the god who owned it. Its the law. And even if it's not, the god and his/her dimension will never be separated. Unless the dimension will be destroyed. That is why if accidentally placed as a bet, like this, the owned dimension will only be rented to a limit of three years.

"Seriously Rohmn, how reckless can you be... So, how far have you gone on your dimension?"

"Wanna go see?" Rohmn's face became sketchy again... Sometimes I really wonder what's going on with his mind. I could read it since I'm the more superior god nos but that would be rude.

"Maybe some other time?" I then tended to making the plants look safe.

"It's useful for the bet we had," again with the bet Rohmn and Almerra was talking about.

"Just tell me, what is this bet?!"
