I Am God!

Kingdom of Suinhor.

The nursery in Drand City.

On a night accompanied by starlight and light snow, the weather was a little cold, which made people sleep deeper. The director of the nursing home had a sweet dream while she was sleeping soundly. She dreamed of a figure walking from among the stars.

After waking up, she heard crying.

He led the nursing staff to the door, opened the door and saw an abandoned baby crying in the snow, which made the dean couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, you abandoned your child in such ice and snow. Don't you know it will freeze to death?"

But in the end, she picked up the baby.

She coaxed the child skillfully, tapping her hands to the rhythm.

Soon, the child stopped crying and stared at her, as if he liked her very much.

"Look, she likes me."

"She belongs here."

This also reminded the director of the nursing home of the sweet dream he had just had, so he named her Maman after her.

In this way, Maman grew up in a nursery, together with other children who were unfortunately abandoned or had no parents.

Fortunately, the director of the nursing home is a good man.

The nursery was founded with money donated by the temple, so it is naturally filled with the strict order and precepts of the temple.

Every morning, the children have to get up early to pray. In the morning, they have to study the holy scriptures and learn to read through the holy scriptures. In the afternoon, they have to help with the work in the nursery.

But every night, the dean will tell stories to the children, which is also the happy time that the children look forward to most.

"In a far away country, a certain prince..."

"In another distant country, there is a beautiful princess..."

Fairy tales are always like this.

Princes and princesses, divine servants and evil wizards, knights and kings.

But these old-fashioned stories make every child calm down and their eyes brighten.

Mama is one of them.

She sat on the floor like all the others, her ears moving to the story.

She not only likes to listen to stories, but also likes to fantasize.

But Maman's fantasy is not just a simple fantasy, she can merge the fantasy with her own dream and swim in the dreamland late at night.

night.

In her dream, she saw herself becoming the princess of a country, a person born with noble status.

She dreamed that the luxurious and exquisite vehicle in the story came to pick her up, and she lived in a beautiful big castle.

After waking up, she found the dean.

Maman asked expectantly: "Dean, do you think I will be an abandoned princess? It won't be long before my father will send knights and divine attendants to pick me up?"

The dean leaned down and asked her, "Why do you think so?"

Maman said seriously: "Isn't this often the case in stories? Maybe I am?"

Maman pointed to the sky: "And I heard them say, Dean, you had a dream when you picked me up, and you dreamed that I was walking among the stars."

The dean smiled and she shook her head: "Unfortunately, the stories are all false."

"And most of the people missing in the story are princes who then go on their own adventures, discover their identities, seek revenge or uncover deceptions."

"As for the princesses, in most stories they live in the castle, waiting for the prince to arrive."

"In the real world, princes and princesses will not be reduced to the common people. They and we are people from two different worlds and will never intersect."

Maman was a little disappointed, but the dean touched her head.

"But no matter who it is, everyone will do what they are good at and can do."

"The prince does his own thing, the knight and the princess have their own stories, and every character in the story can also do their own thing."

"What I am good at is being the director of a nursing home and watching you grow up well. I think this is more important than anything else."

Maman asked: "How do you know what you are good at?"

The dean said: "If you want to do it, just do it."

Maman didn't understand very well, but she remembered the words "Just do it if you want to do it."

Dean straightened up and finally told her.

"Mama, although the story I told is not true."

"but."

"I dreamed that you came from the stars, but it was true."

Maman's eyes were shining, and she looked at the dean with a bright smile, then turned around and ran quickly through the passage, very happy.

After running to the end, she stood in the sunshine and looked back, smiling at the dean, her eyes full of hope and beauty.

On this day, a godly attendant came to the nursing home.

The priest brought a lot of supplies and new clothes for the children.

What impressed Maman particularly deeply was that the God Attendant led them to do something very novel.

He took the children to a rainbow tree in the woods and allowed each of them to send a letter.

"This is the Rainbow Tree, a tree blessed by the Lord of Dreams and an extension of the power of fairies in the human world."

"As long as you think of a certain person and have a relationship with that person, you can send the letter to the other person."

"No matter how far away the other party is, or even whether they are in this world."

The children gathered on a blanket and wrote letters. Some wanted to send them to parents they did not know, and some wanted to send them to former friends. Not all of them came to the nursery as babies.

There are also people who want to send it to people who have left the nursery. The children will have to fend for themselves when they grow up.

Maman stood in the crowd. She didn't seem to have anyone to send the letter to, looking hesitant at a loss.

The Divine Attendant came to Maman's side: "Why, don't you have anyone you want to send a letter to?"

Maman shook her head: "I don't know anyone outside."

The priest said: "You can also send it to people you don't know."

What God Attendant means is that she can send it to her parents or someone she has heard of.

But Maman seemed to think of something.

Maman took a pen and wrote crooked words on the letter paper.

"Mamman, what will you be like in the future?"

"Have you become a powerful person?"

If you don’t know someone, then does your future self count as someone you don’t know?

Maman is very eager and looking forward to what kind of person she will become in the future. Will she even reply to her letter?

The divine attendant opened the tree hole.

Maman followed the others and threw her letter into the tree hole.

Seeing the colorful light engulfing her letter, this was the first time she had personally come into contact with extraordinary power.

The power was beautiful and shocking, and the vortex in the tree hole that connected the distance and even the future was also reflected in Maman's pupils.

Her colorful pupils seemed to be filled with fantasy again. She suddenly felt that the dreams of princes and princesses were too small. She vaguely saw herself becoming a powerful person.

Can call the wind and rain, can fly in the sky, can go anywhere you want.

On the way back.

She kept fantasizing about it, and even the dreams she had at night were related to this.

She dreamed that she was actually a child of a family that had possessed extraordinary power for generations. Everything she was experiencing now was just the family training her. One day she would return to the family and be hailed by everyone as a genius.

"genius."

"A genius who appears once in a thousand years will become the most powerful person in the future."

Maman woke up with a smile and asked the divine attendant the next day.

“If you want to do something, will you definitely succeed?”

The priest thought for a while and then replied.

"Not necessarily."

"Some people can succeed, and some people can only face failure."

"But if everyone doesn't do it, then it will definitely not succeed. And similarly, as long as there are enough people who do it, someone will definitely succeed!"

Maman likes this kind of words, because every child always feels that he is different and the one destined to succeed.

And losers, that has nothing to do with me.

She was determined to become a powerful person.

——

Maman grew up day by day, from a child to a young girl.

However, she waited for a long time and did not wait for her future self to reply to her.

Therefore, she still has no idea what kind of person she will become in the future.

In the nursery.

The dean, who was much fatter and older, shouted Maman's name.

"Mama, go out and buy some flour and come back. Remember to check it. Some guys will add a lot of sand and ash into it."

At this time, Maman, with wet hands, emerged from behind the clothes-drying rope.

"I know, it's not the first time."

She had long wavy hair and dressed herself up decently. Even if the clothes were torn, she would use her needlework to mend them as if they should be that way.

On weekdays, she not only helps the dean and the nursing staff with work, but also helps the dean buy things outside.

On this day, as soon as she took to the street, she saw a newly opened alchemy items store recruiting clerks.

"An alchemist from the Land of the Rising Sun."

"Things are so expensive!"

"Of course, this is something made by an alchemist."

Maman was very excited after seeing the recruitment documents. She squeezed through the crowd and walked in to sign up.

But after signing up, she felt a little uneasy and fearful.

because.

This store is so luxurious and high-end.

It seemed a little out of place with her.

You can see that the store is filled with creations made by various alchemy workshops, beautiful synthetic gems, exquisite lamps, pots, bottles and other creations.

Although they are not extraordinary props, because they are made through alchemy, each one is expensive.

The manager of the alchemy shop is a young woman, but she wears an alchemist's robe, which makes most people afraid to look directly at her.

But just when Maman retreated.

The other party just took one look at Maman and then chose her.

"It's you!"

The restless Maman raised her head, looked at the other party in disbelief, and then bowed quickly to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, I will definitely do this job well."

On the way back.

Mama jumped up in excitement, twisted her body and rushed through the crowd and the street, back to the nursery.

After she came back, she told everyone that she had found a job. She felt that it was unusual for her to be chosen at a glance.

"She spotted me right away among the crowd."

"There was no doubt, yes, I was chosen without any hesitation."

"perhaps."

"My talent has been noticed by the alchemist?"

"No, I must have the talent to become an alchemist."

The children in the nursery cheered and expressed their blessings to Maman for finding a good job. Even the director looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.

Maman got up early the next day and went to work. She didn't dare to slack off at all. She kept the shop clean every day and received every customer diligently.

In her spare time, she would always peek at the female alchemist refining items.

Watching the other party holding the lamp of desire, stretching out his lazy waist to refine one exquisite creation after another, and various expensive commodities were born under the strange flames.

"Wow!"

At this time, Maman would always open her mouth wide, with envy and longing in her eyes.

The female alchemist turned around. She had already seen Maman's thoughts at a glance.

but.

She did not mock her children's dreams, nor did she falsely encourage them.

She just said to her while sitting with Maman in the evening after a busy day.

“Some things are possible if you work hard, but some efforts are unrewarding.”

"For example, things like talent."

Maman was stunned for a while before she understood what the other party meant.

actually.

Maman knew the fact that she had no talent very early on.

Because after the godly attendant left, she found out that he was here to test whether the children in the nursery had powers or talents.

The other party did gentle things and said gentle words to Maman.

But no matter how gentle your actions and words are, they can't change the indifference of reality.

Even so, Maman had imagined that she might not be able to become other professions, but she could become other extraordinary professions.

for example.

Become an alchemist.

Maman clenched her hands and said nervously: "Does refining props require talent even if you don't practice it yourself?"

The female alchemist was not as gentle as the original divine attendant, and she just answered straightforwardly.

"Yes, alchemists also need talent."

"Although it is much easier to become a powerful person than before, each extraordinary profession has various methods to become a powerful person, which lowers the threshold."

“But no matter how you lower the threshold, there is still a minimum threshold.”

The other party has said very bluntly that no matter which profession you are in, you have not reached the minimum threshold.

Maman asked disappointedly, she was a little panicked.

"Then why did you choose me at first glance? There were so many people, but you didn't even take a second look and just said it was me."

"I thought...I thought..."

The alchemist told the reason: "Because you are pleasing to the eye, and you are one of the few girls among them."

Maman didn't expect that the reason was so simple.

"Is that all?"

"Well, that's just it."

When we were young, we always felt that many things were magical, and that there were many special things about ourselves, even a birthmark or movable ears, and we felt that we had some extraordinary talent.

Just like the dream of the dean, when she was a child, Maman thought that dream must be unusual.

I think that is a sign from God.

That is the direction of fate.

but.

After growing up, she gradually realized that it might just be a dream, an ordinary dream.

Everything we think is extraordinary is just a superficial fantasy when we were young and ignorant. In fact, we are the most ordinary among the masses, passers-by who cannot even be mentioned by name in every story.

The female alchemist looked at the silent Mama and then asked her.

"Are you still determined to follow me and learn some knowledge that you may never need in your lifetime?"

"In contrast, it may be more appropriate for you to choose to become a tailor. At least you can learn some skills that you will need to survive in the future."

"This way you can still maintain your life even if you leave this store."

Maman, who was originally a little frustrated, raised her head and said with a smile: "I still want to give it a try, even if it's just to see the world I want to see, it's enough."

The female alchemist didn't say anything, just nodded.

But when he turned around, he whispered softly.

"How about just seeing it?"

The following days.

Maman not only worked as a store clerk, but also worked hard to become the assistant of the female alchemist, doing things for her that she could do.

Although she obviously has no talent, she has mastered some extraordinary knowledge.

It was also here that Maman experienced many things that she had never experienced before, and saw many things that she had never seen before.

She has experienced being deceived by scammers and understands the complexity and disorder of the outside world.

She understood the value of earning money to support herself, and for the first time she felt the feeling of having money in her hands, as if she were in control of her own destiny and freedom.

She returned to the nursery less and less and lived in the shop instead.

And this day.

The female alchemist suddenly decided to leave here, and Maman also decided to leave with her.

The two of them were riding in a wagon pulled by pack animals, with the children from the nursery chasing behind them. Maman was lying on the wagon and waving to each other constantly.

"Bye now."

"goodbye."

The dean also stood in the distance and said loudly to Maman.

"Remember to come back."

Although Maman was reluctant to leave, she didn't really want to return to her hometown.

She wanted to see the broader world, the world of powerful people, such as the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, where the female alchemists came from.

She asked the other party: "Now can you tell me why we left and what we did in the Land of the Rising Sun?

The female alchemist said: "Three years ago, a very manic fire demon appeared near my hometown. It often appeared and caused fires. People in my hometown invited me to solve it."

Maman: "Then why did you go now?"

Female Alchemist: "Because that fire demon has second-level power, and I am only in the middle of first-level power."

Maman: "Ah, then aren't we looking for death?"

Female Alchemist: "I have found a way to seal the second-level fire demon, and I have made the props to seal it."

"This prop can not only seal it, but also harness its power."

"With a second-level fire demon, even if I haven't upgraded myself, I can still make real alchemy items that I didn't dare to make before."

“But I spent almost all of my life savings trying to make something like this.”

Only then did Maman realize that the female alchemist was not only entrusted by her hometown people, but also for greater power.

She asked curiously: "What is the difference between the first level and the second level?"

The female alchemist said immediately after hearing this.

"Of course there is a difference."

"That's the second level, a realm I've never broken through in my life."

Speaking of this, the female alchemist also showed admiration.

"Even if it's just to see the second-level world!"

"Think back to the beginning."

"I just became a first-level alchemist, and the town carved a stone tablet for me. If I become a second-level alchemist, my statue will definitely stand in our town!"

"I once left my hometown and traveled around for this purpose, but unfortunately I have not achieved my goal after so many years."

The female alchemist sighed, feeling like she was getting old in a daze.

But when I look back at my life, it seems that I have accomplished nothing, and that I have passed year after year in a daze.

Maman on the side did not understand the troubles of the female alchemist. She felt that she would be very happy if she could become a first-order powerful person.

The two took a car first and then a boat.

After wandering on the sea for a long time, we finally arrived at the land of sunrise.

When the female alchemist returned to her hometown town, she was welcomed by the town as a whole, and she seemed to feel like she had returned to her hometown with pride.

Every powerful person who comes out of this small town is worthy of being remembered by a generation.

The female alchemist stood on a high place and said to the people in the village.

"I'm sorry that I received the letter very late due to some matters, but I rushed over as soon as I received the letter."

"Don't worry, everyone, the fire demon has no wisdom. I will subdue this restless fire demon and restore peace to the town."

A few days later, the two people, who were fully prepared, headed to the fire demon's lair.

When setting off, the female alchemist was still full of confidence.

"Don't worry, Maman, I'm well prepared."

"As long as I catch that fire demon, I can sign a contract with it and completely control it."

"I will be certified as a second-level prop maker."

The female alchemist looked at Maman and said with a smile.

"At that time, I can occasionally give you the props to seal the fire demon, do things for me, and let you feel the power of the powerful."

"In this case, it can be regarded as realizing your dream, Maman!"

After hearing this, Maman also became a little excited.

The female alchemist still didn't stop, chattering and talking all the way.

But sometimes, the more a person keeps saying that there is no problem, the more it proves that he has no confidence in his heart.

really.

When the fire demon appeared and lit up the sky with overwhelming flames, the female alchemist's hands started to shake.

"Boom!"

Although this fire demon is only at the second level, its power is extraordinarily powerful.

It broke free of the trap set by the female alchemist in an instant, and then furiously ignited everything around it. The flames covered at least dozens of meters in an instant, and it seemed to be overwhelming.

"No, no, we are no match for it."

"I'm no match for it."

The female alchemist was scared.

She was not as calm as she said before she came, and instinctively ran away in panic.

even.

In a panic, she accidentally fell from a high place in order to avoid the surging fire above her head. A first-level powerful person is extremely fragile, and cannot fly or open the mental barrier.

By the time Maman found her, she was seriously injured and lying on the ground dying.

There was blood all over her body, and her chest was beating rapidly.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Maman was a little confused and at a loss.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"I, I, I..."

"How can I help you?"

But the female alchemist looked at Maman. She was extremely scared just now, but now she seemed not to be scared anymore.

"Isn't it embarrassing?"

"I am a powerful person with extraordinary power. When faced with danger, I am even less afraid and trembling than ordinary people."

Listening to the other party's tone, Maman suddenly understood something.

The female alchemist had a premonition of her own death.

When people really face desperate situations and death, they will not panic.

The female alchemist gasped violently. She looked at the pipe she was holding in her hand that had been prepared for a long time and was going to be used to seal the fire demon.

In the end, I didn't expect that everything would be over without even opening it.

"We all do."

“Some things are possible if you work hard, but some efforts are unrewarding.”

"I have worked hard all my life, but in the end I can only refine some things that ordinary people can use."

"Even if I muster up the courage to try again because of what you said."

"at last."

"The discovery was just a fantasy."

After the female alchemist finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Maman and saw the expression on her face.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said these things."

"At least, you shouldn't say such things to a young man who is still full of energy and looking forward to the future."

Maman looked at the female alchemist with complicated eyes. She never thought that she was the one who caused the female alchemist to take over the task of sealing the fire demon.

The female alchemist is a good person, but because of this, Maman becomes more and more grief-stricken.

"Boom~"

"Zizzizi!"

"boom!"

Flames were roaring on the mountain, and various sounds were heard constantly.

The actions of the female alchemist just now completely stimulated the fire demon. You can see the fire demon running around, and the flames turned the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

The female alchemist looked at Maman and stopped her ineffective attempt to contain the wound.

"The fire is coming, you should run away alone!"

"Go and notify people in the town."

"I hope this fire and the violent fire demon will not spread to our town."

However, at this time, Maman picked up the female alchemist's pipe and seemed to have made a decision.

The female alchemist seemed to understand something. "What are you going to do?"

Maman held the prop: "I'll go!"

The female alchemist smiled bitterly and said: "You can't succeed, you can only lose your life in vain."

Maman looked at the female alchemist and said to her.

"I like fantasy, and sometimes I can't tell the difference between reality and fiction."

"I always think that I will become a powerful person, I will not be afraid of all difficulties, and I can solve all problems."

"I may never be the person I want to be, but that different me already exists in my heart."

"I haven't encountered it before."

"But now that I've encountered it, the part of me in my heart will despise me if I run away and choose to give up."

——

In the fire.

The pipe turned into an arc and touched the fire demon, and the sealing ritual array on it immediately started automatically.

A whirlwind blew up and the fire demon disappeared.

Maman immediately pounced from the corner.

She held the handle of the pipe tightly with both hands. The fire demon in the ritual circle kept struggling and rushed out. You could see cracks immediately appearing on the pipe.

It is impossible for an ordinary person like Maman to simply seal this fire demon with just one item.

But even if she was burned until her skin rolled, she still refused to let go.

Although the fire demon was irritable, he seemed unwilling to hurt anyone.

The flames burst out of the pipe, but they only frightened Mama, rather than engulfing her.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Maman watched the flames pour out of the pipe and turn into a huge face, constantly roaring like a beast.

She was so frightened that she seemed to be stunned and said something.

"it's not your fault."

"But you are indeed no longer suitable to stay here."

"Leave with me. I will follow you. I will not drive you away, nor will I be afraid of you."

And as Maman chattered, the fire demon, as a species of extraordinary wisdom, seemed to really feel Maman's will.

This monster really slowly calmed down.

Maman looked extremely embarrassed and ran down the mountain with many wounds on her body.

But her face was filled with excitement and joy.

She held her pipe high and shouted something.

She told the female alchemist that she had sealed the fire demon.

Of course, the female alchemist noticed the changes in the distance. She opened her eyes and looked at Mama running over, and said in disbelief.

"Really...succeeded?"

"How is that possible? How can ordinary people do it?"

Maman ran to the other party and kept panting.

"The fire is extinguished and the fire demon is sealed."

"It's all safe now."

The female alchemist looked at Maman and finally said something confused.

"Am I dreaming, or are you dreaming?"

Maman found the trailer they came from, although the beast of burden had broken free from the rope in fright and ran away.

But the car board alone was enough for her to take the female alchemist back to the town.

only.

The female alchemist died on the way.

She didn't give any instructions before she died, but kept repeating that she felt like she was dreaming.

"My life is like a dream, a hazy dream that misses the point."

"I always want to leave something behind, always want to do something, but I can't leave anything behind and accomplish nothing."

"When you suddenly wake up from a dream and actually do something."

"Only to find that death has come."

"We are born in confusion and die in emptiness."

When we returned to the town, a large number of people gathered around us.

The people in the town looked at the body of the female alchemist in disbelief: "How could this happen?"

Maman looked at the female alchemist and tried her best to suppress the grief in her heart.

She solemnly told the people in the town: "She gave everything to defeat the fire demon."

Everyone was silent.

Then they all saluted the body of the female alchemist, and everyone's pupils showed a look of respect and shock.

Everyone thought that the female alchemist died in the battle to seal the fire demon, and their minds were even imagining what a tragic battle it was.

No one knows.

The female alchemist actually fell to death on the way to escape, and Mama, who knew everything, didn't say anything.

A grand funeral was held for the female alchemist in the town.

At the funeral, the whole town was in tears, and many people were even crying.

People call the name of the female alchemist and spread the name of the female alchemist.

Said she was a great person.

Although the female alchemist died, she left a legend behind, and as she expected, a statue was erected in her hometown.

After doing all this, Maman packed her things and prepared to leave.

Under the statue passing by the town, Maman saw the children in the town led by their parents to pay homage to the female alchemist.

The children listened to the stories told by their parents and looked at the statue with their mouths open.

"I will become a hero like her in the future and protect our hometown."

"Really, that would be great."

"I will also become an alchemist in the future, an alchemist like her."

"..."

Maman looked at all this with a not bright but happy smile on her face.

"very nice."

"really good."

She told a lie, but it felt like she was drawing a dream.

Even if it was false, she felt beautiful.

The pack animals pull the cart away.

Maman sat in the car and picked up the pipe with several cracks.

"call!"

Flames can be seen coming from the pipe, and a shadow is studying Mama.

It has no intelligence, only instinct.

But it is precisely because of this that we can feel whether a person's heart is pure or not.

Maman finally got the extraordinary power she dreamed of. Although it did not belong to herself, it was exerted with the help of the power of the fire demon.
