Gods domain

Ezequiel's sight suddenly turned dark for a second, before he was eventually able to see again.

The first thing he did was look around for Marie. Luckily she still held his hand and stood next to him.

[Detected that you are the closest guardian of a human under the age of 12. The human Marie will automatically be assigned to your villa and fall under your care.]

‚Phew, it seems like they transported Marie next to me since she's still young. Luckily she hasn't turned 13 yet. But where even is this place.'

As Ezequiel began to look around, his mouth went agape. He was located inside of the most luxurious villa he has ever seen. Not that he has seen many villas before.

The floor was made of high quality wood with carpets made of fluffy fur lying in front of a gigantic leather couch. He was inside a living room bordering a kitchen. Everything here seemed of the highest possible quality and was huge as well.

The room had a square shape with three of the walls being windows. They opened up towards a beautiful garden with a pond and the most exotic trees he has ever seen.

Behind the garden stood tall, luscious trees and birds were chirping. Ezequiel couldn't believe that there was such a perfect house on earth.

„W-Where is this place?" A timid Marie suddenly asked from the side. As she finished her question the blue screen once again appeared in front of them.

[Would you like to view an introductory video?]

[Yes/No]

Ezequiel chose yes and the screen suddenly changed. Scenes that looked like out of movies appeared and the video weirdly had the feeling of a montage, not like an introductory video at all. At the same time a voice spoke directly into their ears, explaining details about the video they just saw.

After about 5 minutes, the two siblings had to sit down on the couch, which was extremely comfortable by the way, to process things first. The things they just found out were too crazy after all.

According to what was said in the video, all the humans on earth were transmigrated into what the video called „Upper Dimension", „Divine Realm" or „High Heavens".

Every single being here was a god with millions or even trillions of followers. Since humans couldn't really be an exceptions, all of them were turned into Demi-Gods as well. Demi Gods were the lowest level of strength inside this dimension though.

Their goal now was to survive by growing stronger and help battle a certain danger that the divine realm faced.

To do that, every human gained a follower species. They would have to grow their number of followers to conquer new worlds and spread their faith. At the same time they would have to compete against other gods and beings of the lower dimension. The one where they used to live.

According to what Ezequiel could piece together with the help of the information he was given, the most important thing for the two of them now was their followers species.

There were 4 Levels to species: Low, Mid, High and Peak Level. Most people would only awaken low or mid level species. The chance to awaken a Peak level species was only one in a hundred billion. The chance to awaken a high level species wasn't really any better. It was about one in a hundred million. Even a mid level species only had a one in fove thousand chance to appear.

The most realistic thing was probably that both of them would only awaken a low-level following species. This meant that they would have to tread carefully in the future and not offend anyone.

Yet not everything was bleak for them. Being gods, they both have an unlimited lifespan. Living in a luxurious villa, their life was already better in the past and they would most probably live longer than expected.

„Ezequiel." Marie suddenly called for his attention from the side. As he looked at her face, she had a huge smile.

„I know that you will awaken a high level species. You just are like that. You always manage through any situation!"

Seeing the confidence in Marie's expression, Ezequiel knew that he would have to get stronger. Even if he did indeed only awaken a low level species he would still get stronger. To ensure their future and survival.

„Yes, you we will both awaken at least a mid-level species and everything will be good!"

Ezequiel said more to himself than to Marie. He needed confidence for the upcoming reveal.

To check on his territory he had two options. He could either open the system interface and view the stats of his believers or follow a connection in his mind for a god-like view over his territory.

Since it was the first time seeing them he wanted a more epic reveal and chose to go through the connection in his mind.

Both Ezequiel and Marie sat on the ground in a meditative position, having their legs crossed.

Ezequiel focused his attention towards his mind trying to find the connection the video spoke about. After a few seconds he suddenly saw a transparent line that went somewhere into the floor. It seemed to originate from his soul.

Turning his attention towards the line, Ezequiel suddenly felt how his consciousness was transported downward rapidly. It followed the line until his vision returned.

As he took in his surroundings, he saw a single mountain with a height of about 4km. Weirdly there were still some sparse trees even on top of it. There was also a small stream emerging from inside the mountain. On the bottom it was encircled by countless trees. The scene looked like straight out of a painting but there was one thing wrong with it.

‚WHERE ARE MY FOLLOWERS?' Ezequiel begun to panic. If he didn't have any followers he would have no way to increase his strength in the future and would not be able to protect Marie.

[Do you want to summon your followers?]

‚Oops' Ezequiel was embarrassed. In the heat of the moment he forgot, that he would have to summon his species the first time he descended with his consciousness.

His attention was directed towards a round stone platform on top of the mountain. It had complicated runes and patterns engraved into it and emitted a divine aura, glowing with a soothing golden light.

‚The video didn't mention anything about the summoning circle glowing though. Hmm let's just summon for now.'

„Summon" A loud voice resounded throughout the territory. It sounded like a divine command that couldn't be disobeyed under any circumstances and held an indescribable amount of authority.

After Ezequiel's command, the circle suddenly began to glow in a bright, white light for about 5 seconds, before the light receded again.

The middle of the circle revealed two figures standing side by side, kneeling on both knees and putting their head on the ground.

„We greet the almighty Lord" one male and one female voice resounded in a beautiful tone.

,Huh… Those are… Those are…'

‚ANGELS'
