Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Within the dark depths of a dungeon, underground the lustrous streets of the Luminous Kingdom's Capital, a group of black cloaked people gathered around a huge black table, where a council of ancient evil sorceress remained in silence, watching a huge, black-colored floating crystal.

"The two Chimeras… They have been slain, Great Leader."

"It seems we've underestimated those Players, despite the huge Level difference, they were able to kill the Chimeras."

"Their powers… are nothing like we've seen before."

"Especially those led by the one named Planta… She's strange, she possess the powers of what we believe could be the World Tree, Yggdrasil!"

"So it is just as Thanatos said." The Great Leader of them all spoke, a very old man, whose face could not be seen, with a long, gray-colored beard and glowing red eyes.

On his left hand, there were countless tattoos, imbued with malefic runes, in the palm of such hand, a red and black-colored jewel was incrusted into his hand, imbuing his body with great, miasmic powers.

"Yggdrasil… Is here… And she dares protect that good-for-nothing!"

"This is not as we thought, what are we going to do now?"

"The number of Chimeras available is not that high, we're making more, but it takes time to properly create them, especially because we need many sacrifices."

"Great Leader, what should we do now?"

The old man leading them remained in silence, as he groaned, looking at another figure, standing in a corner of the hall, amidst the darkness, cloaked in shadows, and with the appearance of an old, black, and dark, blue-colored skeleton.

"If you're truly aiming to attain the Ultimate Power, enough to become a Demon King, you should not doubt. Press forward. Gather more resources, more sacrifices. My lord demands haste. He wants Yggdrasil dead, but he desires more power as well." The Lich spoke. "You two have a deal. Do not worry… we shall provide you with plenty of assistance ourselves. But make sure to keep your identity a secret!"

"I suppose you're right…" The man sighed. "Haste the production of Chimeras. Even if they come with defects, it does not matter. Soon, we'll be seizing a few artifacts I am interested on. This time, we will no longer remain secretive about what we desire. This Kingdom will become ours, and it will be nothing but a steppingstone. We're no longer serving a god, but we're aiming to become gods ourselves!"

"Ahhh, so it is finally time…!"

"For us to finally take what we rightfully deserve?"

"A coup, is this a coup?"

"No, I would say it is more like… a favor. We're giving a favor to the royal family of this kingdom. They either cooperate and handle what we want… or die and become nothing but sacrifices to our greater goals." The bearded sorcerer spoke, laughing manically. "And that blasted blacksmith… If we can't get him, then move to plan B, break through!"

"Yes, Great Leader…" All the Dark Sorcerers nodded, almost with fanatism.

When their God, the Demon King of Miasma perished, they lost their purpose… However, over time, they have gained a new purpose, all thanks to their Great Leader, the one behind the Cult's entire creation, and the actual first human to create a Pact with the Demon King of Miasma.

And the owner of a fragment of his Divine, Corrupted Body…

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sound of the morning clock woke me up, as I slowly stretched my arms, and glanced at the morning sunlight coming from the window. I yawned a bit before looking at my phone.

"Huh, alright… Thank god."

There were a few messages from Acorn, Nieve, and Brisingra, who were capable of using the Players Chat with us through the App in our phones, so we can keep a close eye on what's been going over there.

Ambil's still asleep but he was healthy, and they said nobody had appeared or something. They were even able to sleep quite well themselves, taking turns to watch over.

Last night we had a small chat with Angelina's team about what had happened, and about what we should do now.

Angelina said that we should simply concentrate in our own Quest regarding helping Ambil's forge sales increase, which was directly related with Hephaestus Forge.

As for them, they will investigate for more clues about the Cult. I agreed to that, though I'll still help in investigating a little bit myself, especially with the new Skills I had acquired through Skill Fusion.

For now, I should just have some breakfast, check on my daughter and Monica, and then… log back in, as we need to work a lot over there, the earlier the better, I would say. Ah, not before going to the gym though!

"Huh?"

<Friend: Mark (Boyfriend)>

[Mark]: [Hey, I'm coming over to have breakfast. I'll bring doughnuts and some coffee. Want something from the cafeteria?]

[Elayne]: [Oh sure! Can you get me a hot white chocolate? I love those they sell over there…]

[Mark]: [Alright, anything for your daughter?]

[Elayne]: [I'll ask her out]

I walked out of my room, as I meet Elena eating cereal, she was awake awfully early today!

"Hi, I got hungry out of the sudden… My new body's really needing that energy, I think…" She said.

"Hello dear, and Monica?" I asked.

"She's dozing off." She shrugged. "Hey mom, have you found any new school?"

"Yeah, I was searching for last night and I think I found an ideal high school, well, two options, actually. It's either an all-girls or one for all sex. Both are prestigious and really pretty! I checked their cafeteria, their classrooms, and they even had tablets and laptops they gave to kids too!" I said. "Was quite expensive, but money shouldn't be a problem in that regard."

"I see." My daughter thought. "I would prefer an all-girls school… I don't have anything against boys but they can be sometimes smelly and annoying compared to girls."

"Huh, or is it because you like seeing cute girls, eh?" I giggled.

"T-That's not it!" She blushed, feeling embarrassed. "T-Though, you know?"

"Huh? Of course I know, you like girls, right?" I wondered, smiling.

"E-Eh?! So you knew all this time?!" Elena was shocked.

"I-Is it that much of a surprise?!" I was shocked now too.
