Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

“Oh dear, don’t worry, I’m sure that it wasn’t that bad at the end of the day…” I said.

“I… yeah, she died not too soon after, humans have such short lives…” sighed Khione. “Father wanted her to have a Spiritual Heart, that’s why I made that device but… at the end, a pure human cannot really get one so easily… I ended thinking the device was a failure, but… after thinking it for years, it’s quite obvious a normal human won’t be able to get that far so easily, right?”

“Yeah, I believe there is the need for some previous foundation,” I nodded. “Like it’s obvious a simple human won’t get it, but perhaps a Druid? Of course it would work! And well, here we are.”

“If it means we could absorb those powerful Spirit Cores, then I’m all yours, young lady,” Rita winked at her. “I’ll happily be your guinea pig!”

“Really?!” Khione said happily. “Thank you Rita, please step forward…”

“W-Wait a second I didn’t mean I would do it right now…” Rita groaned, as we glared at her.

Do you want to disappoint the girl Rita?!

Go to the crystal heart thingy!

“Ugh okay don’t glare at me like that! Somehow I can already tell what you’re even saying without saying a word…” Rita rolled her eyes, stepping forward. “Okay then, how do we do it? Do I need to do anything in specific, young lady?”

“Please sit cross-legged,” Khione said. “Then close your eyes, release your Nature Soul Aura, and your Spiritual Aura.”

“Okay, easy,” Rita nodded, as she did just that.

Her Nature Soul Aura exuded a black color, with sparkles of light, resembling the night, surprising Khione and Chloe.

“Wow, this is my first time seeing a Nature Soul… and it is of such a pitch-black color? But not entirely… there’s stars? So it’s like the night? Amazing…” Khione said. “Rita, and your Spirit Energy is… blue and black? Purple? Ohhh…”

“Could you stop touching it all the time?” Rita sighed.

“Sorry…” Khione muttered. “Um, now touch the device.”

“Okay.”

Rita nodded, doing just as she was told, stretching her hands forward and touching the heart-shaped device, as a blast of spirit energy reached her, and combined with her auras and into the device.

FLAAASH!

The blast pierced her chest and then seemed to reach deep within her very soul, I could feel it even when I wasn’t the one receiving that beam, Rita’s soul was awakening something.

“Wooow…! Woaaah!”

Rita screamed, as a bright gate opened within her chest, flashing with bright light and reaching the ceiling with it, before she suddenly closed her eyes and fell to the ground…

“…Huh?”

We fell into an awkward silence.

“RITA?!”

I ran towards her, panicking as I saw her just get knocked out on the spot!

“Khione is she alright?!” I asked.

“S-She should be fine! She just fell unconscious… for a little?” Khione wondered. “Um…”

I quickly used healing magic on Rita, until she slowly opened her eyes again.

“What? What’s going on? Huh? What with the crowd around me?” she asked angrily.

“Rita!” I hugged her, feeling relieved she was fine.

At the end, she did awaken something within her, as she quickly expressed how there was now something within her that was “opened”, although I have absolutely no idea what could it be.

Is it the Spirit Gate? But it might also be something else? She was so vague!

“Did she do it or is it something else, Khione?” I asked. “I sure hope it’s not some sort of Soul Damage!”

“It is not, please relax,” Khione sighed. “Rita has now opened her Spiritual Gate, the creation of a Spirit Heart is now as easy as compressing the Spiritual Energy within that Gate.”

“How do I- Ooohh?!” Rita gasped, as she just did it.

She was a natural genius!

FLUOSH!

Golden light emerged from her chest, as something within her must have crystalized, because she seemed to have just felt it.

“Yep, I did it! I was able to crystalize it… it works! Oh wow that’s weird!” Rita laughed. “Ya’ll should try it! It freaking works!”

“Alright…” I nodded. “Let’s start one by one, there’s a lot of us here after all.”

“Yes…” Khione nodded.

Like that, we spent the next twenty minutes awakening our Spiritual Gates, I was the last one because I wanted to keep everyone well healed after the process.

After Mark’s turn, mine came, as I sat cross-legged, doing as Khione instructed…

My Nature Soul Aura and my Spiritual Aura surged from my body, fusing into the device.

FLAAASH!

And then, as I closed my eyes, I felt my very consciousness being dragged somewhere else, traveling across stars and the cosmos… of my own soul. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

“Huh? What’s this?”

It wasn’t what I expected, it ended being… bigger, boundless. There were also rivers of golden, pink, azure, green, and red energies flowing everywhere.

Small stars glowed brightly through this strange place; each one made of a composition similar to the power of my own Skills?

Wait…

The bigger the stars, the stronger the power they exuded, were these Soul-Bound Skills?

How weird, why are they stars?

And that wasn’t even all of it, as I found a spiraling little galaxy there, composed of golden energies, and the starlight symbols of forks, knives, spoons, plates, and food.

The other galaxy was of fiery red color, accompanied by the laughter of demonic creatures…

These were my Specializations!

And…

I saw countless constellation above the sky, each one shaped like a beast, which I recognized.

“Blackie, Falco, Whitey, Silver, Goldie… Belle! Wow, everyone’s there…!”

And lastly, a gigantic planet, something resembling Earth in the distance, overflowing with four different elements.

My Nature Soul: The World…

“This is like the Universe of my own Soul… Amazing.”

I looked around, as I saw something, a small gate glowing with rainbow colors.

I pushed my hand towards it, opening it completely.

FLASH!

And the rainbow light consumed everything.
