《Demonic Descent》Chapter: 9 Divine Apostle
Advertisement
*Ding*
He heard a sound in his head when the warm current reached his head from his hand and a translucent screen with some text on it, appeared in his vision.
Congratulations on becoming a Divine Apostle
'It still feels like the gruesome scene along with all this demon stuff has finally caused some mental trauma' Kael thought to himself.
But some new text appeared on the screen.
This System will help your God/ Goddess in supporting your growth as their Divine Apostle while also helping you serve your God/ Goddess more effectively You have chosen to be the Divine Apostle of High Goddess of Death, Nebthet
(Link to know more- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephthys )
Please pass the trial of acceptance given by the High Goddess of Death, Nebthet for becoming her official Apostle, failing to comply with the System's instructions will result in your death and annihilation of your soul.
The last part of the text sent chills down his spine, though he didn't understand what the 'annihilation of the soul' was, he knew that it was something equal to death or worse.
"I should deal with this guard and get out of here before thinking about all this stuff" Kael started to drag the body towards the hole from which he came, then he placed it in the hole along with its hands and covered the hole with snow, after searching for anything useful on the body.
He found a pack of cigarettes along with a lighter and an energy bar, which he gingerly stuffed into his mouth and consumed it whole in a couple of bites.
"At least I won't have to struggle against hunger for some time and think of getting out of here" Kael mumbled as he walked in the direction from which the guard came.

He only managed to cover less than twenty meters, when he was confronted with a small group of guards dressed similar to the previous guard, who started to shoot him with their hand guns on first sight of him.
'Fuck! Were they alerted by the guard's screams' Kael thought to himself as he tried to protect his head from bullets with his head while shouting "I AM NOT A MONSTER"
However, the firing didn't stop, instead, it became more accurate as one bullet hit him in his right leg.
"Ahhh…." Kael wailed like a slaughtered pig due to pain but the pain was less than what he expected from a bullet wound so he looked down only to find a hole in his tattered pant from which his red skin could be seen that had turned purple due to impact from bullet but the bullet didn't manage to pierce his skin.
"I am bulletproof. Heheheheh….." Kael started to laugh manically upon this discovery, much to the horror of guards who stopped shooting.
"He is a monster, run…"A Guard shouted and the whole group started running away.
*Ding*
Kael laughter came to an abrupt end upon hearing this sound.
The Trial of Acceptance Quest has been generated on the command of the High Goddess of Death, Nebthet.
'The Trial of Acceptance Quest!'
Kael raised his head.
He just looked at the text on the screen for some time and the quest window spread out before his eyes.
Trial of Acceptance Quest Part->1 Kill all the escaping enemies Life forms are holding murderous intentions towards the Apostle. Kill them all before they could spread the information about you, to secure your safety. If you do not follow this instruction, it will result in your death. The number of enemies left to kill 9 The number of killed enemies 0

Kael's eyes opened wider.
'To complete the trial quest, all of the guards must die?'
Kael hesitated as he was not a cold blooded killer. Yes, he wanted to skin Louise Hammer alive and finish him off but that was because of his hatred towards him but these guards didn't do anything to him.
Though he wanted to beat them for shooting at him, that was all, after all, he wasn't hurt.
"Hello Jerry, it's me, Matt, send all the men that are available at the base, there is a red fucking monster after us. Order them to come with rifles, bullets from hand guns don't harm him" A guard who was the farthest from him took a radio handset from his backpack and started asking for help.
Just then the text on the screen changed.
Trial of Acceptance Quest Part->1 Kill all the escaping enemies Life forms are holding murderous intentions towards the Apostle. Kill them all before they could spread the information about you, to secure your safety. If you do not follow this instruction, it will result in your death. The number of enemies left to kill 9 The number of killed enemies 0 Remaining time 1 minute 12 seconds
What a clear-cut threat that was.
If he didn't finish the quest as intended in the given time, he would die instead.
'Kill if I don't want to be killed, is that it?'
The content was pretty shocking, but Kael's fluster didn't remain for long as if all his hesitation was slowly being pulled out of him. Soon, his flustered mind morphed into one of calmness. He even found it hard to believe, but that was the truth.
There was fear that lingered in his mind as well, and then his Stats values popped up in front of his eyes.
Status Hungry Name Kael Strider Race Chaos Demon (Infant) Level 0 Type Awaiting completion of Trial of Acceptance Quest Title None Lifespan 500 years Age 21 years Strength 5 Agility 4 Stamina 4.9 Vitality 6 Intelligence 4 Spirit Energy ?

[Note: - One point represents the maximum amount of a human can possess, and 5 points of strength means 5 X the maximum amount of strength of a human]
The stats he saw were quite similar to the characters from an online game he used to play many months ago and what he paid attention to was the 'Skills' column.
A Racial skill called 'Chaos Soul' and nothing else.
For some reason, he felt rather apprehensive about it.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Now that I have my time back, It's just no longer fun to write this story. I won't remove any content for those still curious (a lot of my readers had told me I was doing a good job), but it's not likely I am going to add anything either. Thank you for the adventure that writing this story for you has become. I have read every comment and review and still come back to them. It has been wonderful to see all of you supporting me on this journey.

The Wild Touch
The world of Delmathar has many conflicts and plots that span over the whole world and even into the war torn oceans. That’s not even taking into account that the world is a candidate in the Realm wars… but that’s a story for another day. Instead we will follow the story of how a goddess’s botched attempt of using a weak earth soul to make powerful Grafter for her mother, ends up empowering an unsuspecting little boy. The boy who is called Nosal Brownwhisker, who happens to be a peaceful little buttonless-shirt loving little Capyban. And as the Brownwhisker family tries to juggle their everyday lives on their monster ranch and hiding little Nosal’s secret, more and more developments keep popping up in the village of Pancreedy that makes life more.. interesting. Author’s notes:This is my first fiction and I understand it will suck. Hopefully you will find it to be enjoyable enough to hang around. There’s not going to be any epic world-ending fights or any stuff like that, just some shenanigans generally with the story progressing very slowly as it changes from many viewpoints. The world of Delmathar may seem funky for now so I will promise a glossary every 15 chapters. The wild touch will be updated at least twice a week, with me having no backlog of chapters. So if I get mobbed at work or get sick I will let you know in my notes on a short chapter. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the people who support me, give me encouragement and pointers.
