《Gallinus》1. Stefany
Advertisement
Finally, my turn came...
I look impatiently at the pedestal in front of me.
Now that girl, called Suzy, is no longer here, I will be the priestess who will invoke a God for this world!
Just thinking about her, I already feel angry.
Before that girl appeared, I was the most respected person, and no one would go against my orders in this place.
My family, Ateloiv, is one of the most powerful families in the region and, as I am the daughter of the patriarch, I should be the next to rule this place.
That is, if I didn’t have a brother who already became the successor…
Anyway, I, Stefany Ateloiv, was born to be a powerful person, who would be above all.
My long violet hair, lilac eyes and my slender body are top notch, and I have access to the family safe.
But then… Why can’t I do anything against her!?
I still remember when I met her, it was the day I decided to try to become a priestess.
[…]
Using my family name, I joined the sect in order to invoke a God.
It may just be unrealistic, but if I get one, then it will be easy to become my family successor…
Whit that goal in mind, I went to the sanctuary where they performed the rituals.
So, when I heard the preparations would only serve for one summon and that there was already a priestess trying, I ordered the priests to withdraw her and let me go.
But, to my surprise, they refused the demand, even though I said I would call my father.
While I was arguing with some priests, a scream comes from inside the sanctuary and a girl with blue hair comes out of the entrance. In her arms she carried a small Gallinus, which should have been born not long ago.

- … Since there is no one else inside, then it is my turn to make the summons. – I say to the priests in front of me. – Now, get out of my way!
Without caring about them, I walk into the sanctuary and soon the elder appears in front of me.
- Oh, if it is not the young Stefany. – He greets me, keeping a little distance.
He must have fought with that girl, so his face is red…
- Stop talking, I want to summon a God now. – I say while going to the pedestal.
- … I’m sorry, but it won’t be possible. – He speaks humbly.
- What!? How will it not be possible!? – I exclaims with anger.
- All materials for the summons are over and we need to gather more…
- Are over!? So why didn’t they let me do the summons in the place of the person from before!?
- That’s… - He avoids looking at me. – That girl is called Suzy, you should ask your father about her…
- What!?
- That’s all I can say…
As it seemed that old man was not going to say anything else, I decided to leave.
In a fury, I leave the sanctuary while pushing those on my way and go home, looking for my father.
As soon as I meet him, I finally find out who that girl is. She was someone who has a third plane family.
For us, who continue in this world, families that are in the third plane are something we should not touch.
Why does someone like that exist around here!? Shouldn’t that be my territory!?
At that moment, I decided to try to calm down.
I’ve never met this Suzy before, so I shouldn’t underestimate her…
If her family is so powerful, then she certainly must be someone as incredible as I am, that’s what I thought, but after a few searches around the place, I discover she lives in a simple house with her mother and her cultivation is horrible.

Is my family afraid of this?! I can’t seem to trust them anymore…
It was the first time that I saw my family being weak.
I cannot be someone who is below such a person, but if I try something, I will be punished by my family.
I’m going to get over my family… I’m going to get over this girl’s family… I need power.
I will summon the strongest God to make a contract with me.
[…]
And so, after several days of waiting, I arrived at the sanctuary to summon a God.
- Hurry up! I want to call on God right away. – I say with a loud voice.
- Miss Stefany, the preparations are ready… - A young priest speaks.
- Great, let’s start this ritual.
I kneel in front of the pedestal and start praying.
- Hey, is there a God listening? A beautiful, young priestess needs your power.
I need enormous power, no matter what.
I look at the pedestal carefully. It doesn’t matter that all the other priestesses didn’t make it, because I know I’ll make it.
I don’t need a God to help this world, but one who can empower me.
As long as I have power, I can remain above everyone else.
At that moment, something appeared on top of the pedestal.
It was a small ball of white fur, with two large ears.
Is that… A lepride (Rabbit)?
- …Where am I? – Little Lepride speaks.
- A-Are you a God? – I ask surprised.
- Humans? What’s going on… And where did my inner power go? – The little lepride mutters, before watching his paws. – And what is this appearance?
The priests were still silent, before the elder spoke.
- … Quick, put the necklace on it!
I quickly try to put the necklace on, but before I can react, the lepride, watching us calmly with its black eyes and red pupils, wagged its paw.
When I realized, I was already on the wall, losing my consciousness…
[…]
When I woke up, the place was painted red.
All the priests who were with me were killed.
My body was extremely sore, making it impossible for me to get up.
Realizing that I woke up, the little lepride approaches while stepping on blood.
- Are you still alive? This is a big surprise…
It stands in front of me while looking at me coldly.
- You asked me if I’m a God, right? Well, here is your answer… I am the Demon God Balaza. – He says calmly.
A Demon God!? How have I never heard of one before!?
- I don’t know where I am and It seems that I have become weak… Human, give me that necklace.
Since there is no way to refuse, I hand over the contract necklace with difficulty.
As soon as he holds it, the necklace that should have been golden starts to turn black.
- That’s better.
That way, Balaza puts the necklace around his neck, before jumping on my legs.
- Since you survive, I will not kill you, but you will be my servant from now on.
He didn’t even ask for my opinion, saying it as an order.
But there is no way I could go against him and I could just watch him over me.
…This God is very cute.
