《Tale of Careless Goddess》Chapter 2: They asked proof of loyalty and I answered.

When I noticed, I stood in front of a large throne room by myself. The room itself looks like made from something similar to white marble. The throne itself looks simple without any decoration except the symbol of red and white sword carved on top of it, which is my symbol.
Walking closer, I looked at my appearance on a clear mirror-like reflection of the throne. The upper half of my face coved in the white boomerang-shaped bone along with my upper and lower body shaped like slender armor with floor-length red cloth drafting over my legs covering my private part. While the lower half of my face, neck, and stomach showing red flesh missing skin.
"Yep, just as expected, I looked majestic but terrifying at the same time."
Sitting on my throne, I looked outside since my throne room had no door. What I saw wasn’t a grass-covered plain nor tall mountain, but instead, there was nothing but an empty grey space.
Honestly, in this grey space, there is only me and my throne.
*Well he said it is a newborn world, so this gonna take while isn't it.*
"I sleep until something happens."
I placed my elbow on the throne's arm and closed my non-existing eyes to rest.
--
"Huh?"
I don't know how much time passed until I noticed something. More specifically, something entered my space.
That something was moving in every direction like a lost child in a mall without any lead. In some way, it looked cute. But continuing like this, it gonna take forever to find me so, I decided to help.
Mimicking the man, I thought of that thing to appear before my throne room and snapped my fingers.
*Oh it really happened.*
Followed by snap, a small ball of light appeared at the entrance.

"Ah!"
It ran on a moment it saw me. Well, you can run but can't hide~
With a simple snap of my fingers, the small ball appeared on the front of the entrance again. And it runs again and a few seconds later appears before my throne again. Loop continued quite while until a ball of light decided to come towards me.
But it didn't float towards me straightway, but in a snake-like way, moving left and right slowly, it was an entertaining scene.
After some time finally, Mr.scady cat stopped in front of me.
I moved my hand towards Mr.scady cat.
"Come."
Following my word, Mr.scady cat climbed on my palm.
"Wow, you lived quite a life."
On a moment, Mr.scady cat touched my hand, an unknown man's memory flooded into my head. I immediately know how to read his memory and judge his karma, despite no one, taught me anything. It was like fish knowing how to swim. I just know from the moment I reborn as a goddess.
From his memory and from my point of view he has done many right things and helped many lives. I can reward him by turning him into one of my people or send to his next life.
Well, I don't like forcing something on people so I decided to ask him since he is the first one.
"I giving you two choices, one is to go next life after receiving my blessing. You will be born into a loving family and country without war. You get a strong body and a long life."
"If this one may ask a great one what is the second one?"
"As for the second one. Serve under me."
Spoiler, he chose the first one.

Just like that, one by one soul began to appear in my space to receive my judgment.
For some reason, I felt a sense of comfort every time I gave my judgment giving me more reason to not get laze. Sometimes I face a pitch-black ball that sign of corrupted or misused justice. In that situation, depending on how sincere they are I give them a second chance sending to the afterlife with my mark. If they arrive before me without fixing their mistake the something even worse than purgatory awaits them.
But sadly, some people don't learn.
"You disappointed me, Josh. I trusted you but you choose the same road."
"No! I did what is right! Those were necessary sacrifices! Those ones that don't know how much I bleed for them!"
"One for all but Josh you don't know how that one felt and never will."
"No! Please great one just one more chance!"
"Sadly there is no third one for you."
"Wai-"
Immediately I crushed a black ball of light in my hard. Then a moment later I opened my hand and there is a chump of rock instead of Josh. This rock is something that I named Meld since I can reshape and create new servants or give life to something that doesn't have a soul. And no worry about revenge or malicious intent since it something similar to refueling the empty tank.
Using that Meld I made a large armored soldier that looked similar to me except it is three times bigger than me and it had male build with a head shaped more like a rhombus armed with large tower shield and spear.
"You go stand at that place."
Following my command, my new giant stood beside one of the pillars like others.
Just like that, I passed away the years in that manner, judging people making new servants and taking souls that willing to serve me.
Until I received pray from a someone who calls himself Archbishop Victor.
"Dear Goddes of Justice and Fairness, whom within us guiding right or wrong."
"We thank thee for thy gift and ask now."
"How our mortal souls, weak and humble subject cowering before thy magnificence, may serve ?"
"Whom doth thou crave dative thy ranks of subjects"
"What flame shall be quenched in thy name ?"
So he basically saying he wants to serve under me becoming part of my servants right?
That is quite easy.
"Archbishop Victor you are beckoned into my throne room."
In that way I know he is a real follower or just pathetic sleaze bad that only knows how to sell my name. If he really follows my word and sacrifices himself then I will receive him with my open arms and appoint as my right-hand man. If he is not then I will send my guys to teach him a lesson.
"No, I am. I!"
"Thy will be done in grand sacrifice. Thy assures you."
"But alas, I am the church."
"My life has been dedicated to thy glory."
"This, I will not relinquish, thy must understand."
"I can not sacrifice my self to you!"
"I live to guide my followers! "
So you saying it is okay to sacrifice others to me but not yourself?
Now isn't that is some A+ grade bullsh*t!

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
