Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Suddenly, as I enjoyed my food with my family and friends and relaxed, I heard the Voice of the World. Quite literally out of nowhere too, which scared me a little.

[Your Domain has developed even further…]

[Within your Domain, a powerful Magic Spirit Forge has been created, connected to a Divine Forging Spirit.]

[Your Domain has developed the Domain Theme: {Divine Spiritual Magic Forge}!]

[Your Domain has obtained a Theme related to its new Facility. With this Theme, the Domain will develop and improve upon the related subjects as it grows.]

[Inside of this Forge, you can create new equipment, and also reinforce, repair, and improve it as long as you possess the materials for it.]

[Your Domain has developed the Domain Ability: {Divine Spiritual Forging Flames}!]

[With this new Domain Ability, you can conjure this Divine Spiritual Forging Flame and manipulate it so it can more easily create things with its fiery, magical heat.]

Oh, these descriptions are definitely more detailed than the rest as well! What in the world is going on here though? I don’t remember the Voice of the World ever giving… well, any details or stuff to these things.

And here’s the Domain info, seems like it has been growing slowly over time, and it seems this weird domain can just absorb anything and assimilate it into power.

Which is not a bad thing at all, mind you, it’s pretty damn great.

But it leaves this lingering thought that there might be something weird going on with my Domain.

I mean, why can it even do all of the things it does? It seems a bit strange the more I think about it, indeed.

Is it unstable? Weird? Is it working properly or is it defective? So many questions and so little answers at that!

If I try asking the Druids they say its fine, but I am fairly sure there’s… Just something more, right?

Perhaps because it has a Gate to the Dream Plane and also somewhere else, it could have something much more to it?

Hmm…

…

Well, there’s literally no point in worrying anyway.

I finished my lunch with my family, and once done, ran towards the forge as quickly as possible!

Once there, I found Ignis still preparing, although I could even see the forge’s connections appear, spreading like veins everywhere underground.

Veins? Well, more like roots I suppose? Yeah, it is rooted in reality. Or well, the “space inside the domain” becoming part of it.

The fiery veins seemed to encompass the domain’s underground and slowly combine with its spiritual and elemental essence, making the area rich in natural fire attribute spirit essence even without any spirits to support it.

Although, because of this, fire spirits will appear thanks to this essence, making it a perfect spot for their population to appear and even grow over time.

“Oh master, it seems things are getting done faster than I imagined,” Ignis said. “The forge has been successfully created and it’s almost ready, I just need a few little things here and there.”

“I suppose we can wait,” I nodded. “How long until you finish?”

“Half an hour maybe, give or take,” Ignis said.

“Sure, let’s go then, take your time,” I said.

After that, we walked back home where we met with Julio the Stabbed again.

“Oh Julio! Sorry for not being able to address you before, how are the other Urban Spirits? Kind of forgot to ask…”

“Oh they’re doing alright, thank you for asking, but there’s no need to worry, Lady Goddess” he said. “Although we did come for a reason though, which might need some need to worry? Haha…”

“The thing that made you move out?” I wondered. “I had heard you came to my Domain due to the rich supply of spirit energy and mana… But you were being chased?”

“Yes, my bad for not being completely clear, but we’re being chased,” nodded Julio the Stabbed. “There’s something, some sort of organization that has been hunting the Urban Spirits of the areas. Even those harmless ones that haven’t touched even a fly!”

“Huh? Are they SWORD by any chance? Or maybe Magus from Europe?” I wondered.

“None of those!” Julio the Stabbed said. “I believe they’re a weird third party. Probably… wizards or warlocks? I don’t know… but I think Wendigo knows more about them than I do.”

“Wendigo… Is this your leader?” I asked.

“Yeah! If you allow it, lady Goddess, I think I could bring my friends here, temporarily, so we can tell you more,” he said.

“Hmm, sure! But tell them to wait a bit as I’ll be busy in the forge.” I said.

“Oh it’s alright, take your time please,” he nodded. “I’ll be going then!”

As he flew away, I asked the Druids to help him out and act as bodyguards, just in case.

Rudras and Judith agreed, flying into their bird forms and chasing Julio the Stabbed, making sure he wasn’t attacked or something.

“Warlocks, huh? What are they even doing here though?” Mark wondered. “Do they really need these specific Urban Spirits?”

“No idea either…” I said. “But I remember hearing from Frogginton, the Dream Spirit that visited us once, he said something about Warlocks too, they’re trying to find a gateway to the Dream Plane… Maybe they’re here now because… because of my domain?”

“Hmm… We’ll need to be more careful from now on, once Julio comes back, let’s tell SWORD about them,” Mark said.

“Yeah, good idea,” I nodded.
