《The Meaning of Life》Chapter 2: Quest Details
Advertisement
(Info dump Chapter 2)
Whew... that was a big recap but from what I heard from Frelinia, the gods have been mysteriously disappearing, leaving behind only their divine essences or divinities and treasures.
I asked Frelinia if there was a time limit to the quest and she said I have a century…
I was surprised at the huge amount of time given but soon I learned that time flows differently for the gods. One year can be said to be equivalent to a day for them. Also there’s another reason why she gave me this deadline… which will be revealed later.
Now back to the problem at hand.
Seven of them have disappeared with two being her big brother and big sister. Their names are Azeroth and Lisaria, the God of Magic and Change and the Dragon God, with respect to their names.
It seems that filial love exists among the gods who are very close to each other or at least close to the divinities they govern. Since the Dragons were the first life and the first change in Salratia, naturally a bond has formed and only gotten stronger after many years of companionship between the three.
“……..?!?!” My word… Now I know why Frelinia gives of a soothing atmosphere. No, I don't think it is only because of her being a Goddess of Life. It is also because she is one of those formidable and unforgettable existences in pop culture, a... LITTLE SISTER! A little sister stereotype goddess!
Hah... little sisters. They can be considered as one of the important treasures of every MC. They give off the same feeling as pets. In fact, to me they are the same as cute little pets!
Look at my evaluation of little sisters; they want to be fed, spoiled, given presents, attention and play a lot. A perfect example of a pet. Yep. My time with Frelinia is really akin to that of pet therapy.

Although Frelinia unconsciously tried to hide her sweet persona in a mature façade I, as person who loves anime to death, will absolutely not miss such an important air of a character! On the contrary it only serves to make her cuter in my eyes, like a little kid pretending to be an adult to impress others.
Anyway ignoring the little sister talk, that is the reason why she gave me this deadline. Well actually the deadline is not for finding her brother sister, It is for me to get stronger and establish a foothold in this world to make it easier for me to do my quest. Also she will awaken from her sleeping state after a century, more or less by her calculations.
You see when her brother and sister disappeared she became… alone. Although she is friendly with the other gods it does not mean that it extends to their filial circle. And her brother and sister usually have some quarrels with some gods making it quite hard to ask for help from the other gods. These gods also have their own problems dealing with their missing members in their filial circle.
They investigated on their own about the disappearances of the gods and haven't told their followers about this because such a major investigation will cause uproar in the world of mortals. Frelinia herself doesn't have any followers and simply chose to enjoy life in its simplicity. Although she could ask a strong and capable mortal to fulfill her request, it is impossible.
From birth, mortals have a certain inborn instinct to revere and fear the gods. This makes situations complicated when you try to communicate them. They will either immediately refuse your request out of fear or accept it make a mess of it in the end because of complacency and arrogance. Basic mortal stupidity… she said.

Anyways she was at her wit’s end. Only after thinking really really hard did she remembered a divine spell created and taught to her by her brother Azeroth. It’s a summoning spell with a few tweaks in it.
The spell allows the caster to summon something with high intelligence, unlike other summoning spells where the caster must control their summoned beings, and allow the caster to augment, enhance or change the being in a way convenient for him/her.
Well in the case of Frelinia she modified the spell a bit to allow her to communicate and ask permission from me before summoning me. What a good girl~.
And the result of the summoning is yours truly. It seems Frelinia added some changes to my body. I can actually feel something different in the air... it is probably the so called "mana".
I also feel that my body seems stronger than I remember it to be in the past. It was hard to hold the egg but not impossible for the current 5 year old me. I'm pretty sure that the past 5 year old me won't even be able to lift the egg.
But still... she must be really desperate to resort to summoning an unknown individual to help her huh... Luckily I am a person of good moral character. At least I think I am… maybe…
...
......
*mentally coughs hard*
Now then what to do with the ring and egg..

Sigil Weaver: An Old Man in An Apocalypse
A magical apocalypse? Monsters and mayhem? A war with aliens? Sorry, that's a no from Rory. Sadly, his happy retirement ends when he crashes his truck to save a kid. When he wakes up, he finds nearly everyone has evacuated his town, leaving him behind to figure out this new system that grants classes and skills through magical coins called Sigils. He's got a Legendary Sigil — it lets him turn anything in the world into a Sigil, at the cost of not being able to use them himself. That's fine. He's too old to fight anyway. Punching monsters makes his arthritis flare and dodging fireballs leaves him bedridden for days. Instead, Rory is going to gather the survivors and make sure they have the best Sigils possible. The apocalypse didn't end Rory's retirement, it just gave him a new line of business. Sigil Weaver is a LitRPG Apocalypse story, with a focus on slice-of-life elements and exploring magic. Updates daily! Come yell into the void on my discord Also got a patreon for up to 20 advanced chapters (well, 18 so far, but 20 soon!)

Avatar: Jǫrðsaga
There is beauty in Chaos and serenity in Order. One cannot exist without the other. Each gives meaning to their counterpart, eternal rivals and eternal lovers. It’s a shame only a rare few ever come to this revelation. Most live their lives trapped in an illusion, their path to enlightenment forever cut off. A lie will forever remain a lie, no matter how sweet it is. I will not turn a blind eye to the truth of the world. It matters not what others think of me, be they family, friends, allies, or enemies. They may call me a monster, a devil, a lunatic even. But I will not bend. I will not break. I will not be forced into conformity under threat posed by the child of Order. Because what is Order if not Chaos’ accomplice? There is only one path worth treading, and I will do whatever it takes to advance forward. For I am Sǫlmundr, Lord of the Earth. Avatar series fanfic. The first volume will not have anything canon. I apologise in advance. It will be setting up the mcs background and origins. It’s gonna be between 60 to 70 chapters in length. The power system in the avatar is pretty non-confrontational. You don’t have to fight for resources like in cultivation novels, so the frequency of his evil acts will be pretty spread out. This is a slow burn novel that I hope will draw readers into the world and slowly build up to whatever the climax of each arc is. I can only promise that he will always be a rational, benefits based mc. No harem. There will be love of some sort, but only because I’m literally forced by the power system to include it. Don’t worry though, mc will always prioritise his own interests first and will not let feelings get in the way. Chapter length: ≈ 2k words Updates: Once a week

The Meaning of Life
It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!" [Author here. This is my first time writing a story in RRL. Criticism is very welcome as long as it is educational and has some tips and bits of advice for me. I am still learning]
