#2 Their Circumstances: A Very Old Story of a Certain Goddess

Once upon a time in the very distant past.  

“Wait a minute.”

“Huh?”

I was tackled as soon as I started the story.  

“You say once upon a time in the distant past. Just how long ago was that?”

“Around a few thousand years after the world was created?”

“And when was that?”

“Would it be easier to explain that it was hundreds of thousands of years ago from now?”

“How long will it take to explain the story?”  

“In the novel length my master speaks of, about 10 volumes?”

“Shorten it.”

“What?”

“I said shorten it. When will I ever finish listening to that whole thing?”

What is this person talking about?  

I was gracious enough to tell the secrets of the world, and he told me to hurry up because they’re busy.

“Shouldn’t you reconsider? This will be good for everyone! I can say everything I want, my master can learn all the world’s secrets, and some people can get more material to use! It’s a win-win.”

“I understand, but who are you referring to in that last part?”

“There are people like that, you know.”

This was a story where everyone could find happiness!  

The secrets of the world that no one knows except the gods! Who wouldn’t be curious?

“Me.”

As expected, my master was an odd one among odd ones.

“Why are you being like this?”

“Recounting the past is the kind of thing you see in novels. In reality, there’s no time to listen to such long tales. And given that we’re already being chased by the Demon King, what if he catches us while you’re still telling the story?”

“Well…I can’t argue when put that way… But still… We have the elves’ protection right now. Isn’t this the perfect chance?”

“Every time I think it’s the perfect chance, I get stabbed in the back. We can’t let our guard down when enemies might appear at any moment.”  

My master has no problem backstabbing others, but can’t stand it when he’s the one caught off guard.  

And considering he’s already been purnished by the Demon King twice, I guess I understand why he’s being cautious…

“Still, wouldn’t it be good to at least listen to the story?”

“Nope, not listening.”

Isn’t he being too harsh?  

“Really? But it’s the secret of the world. A secret tightly kept even by the gods?”  

“Do what you want with it. No wait, if I knew I’d just get dragged into more annoying business. So hurry up and summarize it for me.”

Seeing my master’s refusal to budge, I had no choice but to summarize the contents for him.  

“Then shall I start?”

Once upon a time in the very distant past.

“I told you to summarize it!”

“It’s just the introduction, let me say it!”

 

#3 Their Circumstances: A Very Old Story of a Certain Goddess (For Real)

I heard that two Creators started creating the world.  

What do you mean that can’t be accurate since there were no gods before the world was made? That doesn’t make sense right, Master.

No time so just listen. If you have time to nitpick then listen to the whole original story!

Anyway, time passed as the Creators diligently completed the world and dimensions.  

And in creating gods to manage the world, they made the God of Light and God of Darkness.

The two Creators took turns making concepts they wanted, with the other making opposing concepts in response.  

As a result, the two sister goddesses don’t get along well, both insisting that they were created first so they are the older sister.

With no other Creation Gods besides those two, fights kept breaking out.  

Well, that’s an amusing tale but since my master doesn’t care for it, I’ll just skip over it quickly.

And so they continued taking turns birthing new gods.

The God of Light and God of Darkness, the God of Sky and God of Earth, the God of Fire and God of Water.

And the Goddess of Greed and Lust, which is me, and my sister, the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion.

Huh? Why do I embody two concepts you ask? 

How should I know? You don’t know why you were born a man either right, Master?

I guess they just got lazy and lumped similar things together.

There are more unknown gods than famous ones! People just don’t know about them!

Can you imagine how annoying that must have been for the Creators?

Anyway, like that, Gods to manage the various concepts of the world kept getting made, and once finished with all the gods, the Creator Gods gathered everyone and said,

‘We’re done…’

‘You guys handle things yourselves from now on!’

And they waved goodbye and left.

You think I’m lying? This is the truth!  

I saw them wave their hands saying ‘We’re leaving now~!’ right in front of me!

With the Creators gone, the world split into two factions led by the God of Light and God of Darkness, constantly battling each other.

Well, the reason is simple. 

They were fighting over whose creator was greater.  

That’s why the human continent and demon continent are fighting now.

If the gods in charge of them are hostile to each other, how could their followers be?

To demonstrate their faith, they fought even more fiercely than the gods.

The gods couldn’t die no matter how much they fought, but the children on the ground were different.  

What started out as a fight to demonstrate one’s faith to God over time turned into anger and hatred.

The increasingly fierce war between the human continent and demon continent created several incidents.

A representative one is the Swordmaster.

Swordmasters who understand magic and use it like their own limbs appeared and showed tremendous authority.

And the other is the summoner.  

Even those with insufficient pure strength could demonstrate great combat power if they had the talent through this ability.

Summoning, which began by summoning nearby spirits or monsters, later developed to the point where demons and even gods could be summoned.  

Thanks to that, only we went crazy.

At first we sent warnings not to use it, but would children who lost their reason to anger listen to the word of God?

In order to kill the enemy, the gods and demons they summoned without hesitation about means or methods were so threatening as to collapse the balance of the world.

It was to the point that the fighting good and demon sisters combined their powers to tune the world.

As a result of barely tuning the world, gods from other worlds that could cause confusion in the laws of the world were made unable to be physically summoned.

And perfect restrictions were placed on powerful demons according to their power.

And just when we were relieved after placing perfect restrictions on summoning magic! An incident happened where the saying the axe handle hits the instep came true.  

That was the summoning of the evil god Ang…something from another world.

Huh? Angra Mainyu?  

I don’t know. I was so busy back then that I didn’t have time to remember the name.

That god wasn’t very strong compared to other gods.  

In terms of power, he would have ranked middle or lower tier at best? Among the gods from other worlds, he was lower tier.

However, just by existing, that god brought threat to the world.  

Why?  

It’s a simple story.

Originally, the concept of evil did not exist in our world.  

Master naturally uses the words good and evil right?

But when this world was created, in the beginning, there were no such words as good and evil.  

Yes, good and demonic.

Our creator made good gods and demon gods, he did not make good gods and evil gods.  

The concept of evil popped out of nowhere.

But there was no god to manage that, and the system of this world did not tolerate it.

We quickly killed the summoner and made arrangements so that Ang something would not be summoned to this world, but it was already too late.  

The world had already accepted the concept of evil and spread it widely.

Master thinks the gods don’t do anything right? But tuning the world is difficult.  

It’s hard enough to tune what originally existed, and now a new concept popped up.  

What can you do?

Yes, master is right. We screwed up.  

Thanks to that, the world was almost ruined. With no god to govern evil, the concept of evil ran amok.  

We had to use every means and method thanks to that.  

At this point, for the first time since the world was created, the gods signed an armistice and formed an alliance.  

Huh? What about when the good and demon gods reconciled earlier?   

That was just a temporary truce. It was to take a short break until the matter was resolved.  

It was a reconciliation that master should be wary of, not knowing when the backstabbing might come.

However, resolving the issue of evil was a matter of the fate of the world, so a perfect alliance was formed.  

All the gods began gathering up the evils in the world using their powers.  

It was really difficult.  

Now humans and elves aren’t tainted by evil, but back then everything was tainted.  

When the Spirit King that had been summoned to the continent became tainted with evil and reverse summoned, it was a mess. The spirit world is difficult to manage.  

Thankfully the other Spirit Kings combined their power to barely take him down, otherwise they might have had to seal off the spirit world.  

Well, as we worked so hard, the concept of evil was finally organized.

The gods, not wanting to go through that suffering again, combined all their divine power to seal it and hid it away at the edge of the world.  

Not the edge of the continent but the edge of the world, so even for dragons it would have been difficult to get there.  

But it’s different for gods.  

In a way, it was easier to access than the human world.  

It’s difficult for gods to descend to the ground because it threatens the balance of the world, but descending to the edge of the world posed no threat.

Yes, master is right. Not even the gods imagined this.

They never imagined there would be an existence that could unseal the one who had worked so hard to gather evil.

But there was no choice.  

Because I am the goddess of greed and desire! The goddess with the desire to want everything!

Of course I would want something as unique as an evil that no one had ever experienced before. Isn’t that natural?

What? No? Master is not a god. For a petty human to understand the noble will of a goddess…

Yes, I know. Master is an incredible being.  

So don’t say you’ll throw me into a volcano! Ahem!

Anyway, so that’s how, befitting my identity as the goddess Panodra of greed and desire, I unsealed evil and enjoyed it to my heart’s content.  

What? What does the name Panodra mean?

It’s the name of the goddess of greed and desire given by the Creator. Of course it’s the name I lost after becoming intoxicated by evil.  

Call me Goddess Arcadia now, with reverence!

Master… can you please stop singing the volcano song? If you keep doing it I’ll lose my temper!

Ah, where was I?

That’s right, it was time to start the story of when I became an evil god.  

Of course when evil was suddenly unleashed, the gods were in chaos.   

But it was quickly revealed who the main culprit was for unsealing evil.  

The only ones who could unseal the seal were gods, and the only god absent when it happened was me.  

As a result, my usually gentle younger sister’s lid blew off.

It was so dangerous. I almost died!

I was in the process of transforming from the goddess of greed and desire into an evil god.  

I was still retaining my divinity but losing my sanctity, you could say?

Well, if time had passed I likely would have gained the sanctity of an evil god, but I was thwarted by my younger sister who flew in quickly.  

My angry sister was terrifying.  

They say when someone who doesn’t normally get angry finally gets angry, it’s scary right?  

My sister hadn’t gotten angry even once since the world was created.  

And that sister came charging at me, saying she would kill me in her anger. I had no choice but to kneel and desperately beg for mercy.  

But she still didn’t forgive me.  

She tried to kill me, burning away even her own divinity.  

Well, everything after that is the same as the legend.  

As the power of evil began to grow more and more, my sister’s divinity and sanctity were quickly depleted.  

Realizing this couldn’t continue, my sister sealed me away using herself as the medium.  

Normally it would have been impossible, but because she embodied the exact opposite concept as me, my sister’s gamble succeeded.   

And after that, I would sense my sister’s energy from time to time and wake up, continuing to watch over master. I wanted to make master my apostle but master had a strange power so I couldn’t lay a hand. 

I was finally able to succeed that night with the imperial princess.

This is the end of the story.

Do you have any questions?

Huh? Why was my younger sister staring at master even though she woke up first?

That’s because master was holding the medium through which my younger sister was trying to wake up.  

What’s that?

That is…

 

#4 Their Circumstances: The circumstances of the warrior who will later be called the Hero King

“Zzz…Zzz…”

“If you have time to talk, take down one more!”

It’s a mess.

How did it end up like this?

“Rain, go that way!”

“Yes, my Lady!”

“Aris!”

“That’s not important right now, Aris!”

She shouts while slashing at the attacking evil god armies, but the lady doesn’t seem to hear.

Damn! Why am I dealing with part of the evil god’s army at the border between the demon and humans?

Well, I know the reason. It was Princess’s order.  

She ordered us to surround the environment so that the instructor cannot escape and flee here.

But the Ruvella City Alliance has already been annihilated by the evil god armies.

Most of the armies are moving with the Demon King, but remnants of the evil armies remained scattered about.

“Ugh!”

“Rain!”

This is a dangerous place where even a Sword Master can get hurt if not focused.

Moreover, the one who just injured me is the weakest monster, a goblin!  

The power of evil turns even goblins into dangerous monsters!

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, for now.”   

I gave a faint smile to the woman worrying about me in a trembling voice.

This woman is not human. Nor was she a sub-race like elves, dwarves or demon.

“Rain, don’t tell me you’re into demons too?”

“That’s not it!”

Demon. Demons only live on the demon continent.  

That’s right! This place is the frontier of Ruvella City Alliance too! It was the border between the human continent and the demon continent!  

It’s absurd to have to guard such a place!

“There is no time to rest, Sir Rain!”

“I’m not even a knight…”

I’m just half enslaved by the lady, yet being asked by another knight for support with tears in my eyes, one hand holding a sword and the other holding a bat.

– Please 

“Got it. Quickly… Huh?”

I thought someone called because it was an urgent situation, but when I listened closely, it was a voice coming from somewhere else.

“Who is it?”  

– I am…

After a brief silence.

– The goddess of benevolent and devotion. Can you help me save the world?

It was the moment when the legend of the Hero King, who later founded the only country where humans and demons lived together, began with this nonsense.

…Well, that’s my story.
