Chapter 52 – God’s Properties
On many internet forums and social medias, there is a fierce debate about the title of this game. Many think that the word ‘Reincarnation’ is misleading. The in-game hero candidates don’t get new bodies and new lives. They simply transmigrated to another world.
For me, it doesn’t matter either way. But if someone asked me, I’ll choose the word ‘Reincarnation’ because it sounds catchier.
And haven’t I been ‘reincarnated’ into a god?
After being absent for a few days due to work, I logged back into the game, finding Elise sitting motionless, wears the tunic and pants that Anja gave her. Her battle outfit was still folded beside her leg. And her sword is not there because it was left in the forest.
[Elise Fairchild]
Strength: C+
Dexterity: D+
Agility: C
Vitality: B-
Magic: C.
Skills:
[Charging Thrust – Run fast and thrust the weapon forward. Focus on one enemy]
[Whirlwind Slash – A spinning attack that can hit several enemies at once]
Passive Skills:
[Animal Control Blessing – Ability to control certain animals]
Her stats are increased in Strength, Agility, and Vitality. Previously, the three stats had attributes of C, C-, and B+, respectively. There should be one more skill that I chose, namely Rising Slash. But due to her mental state, I decided to postpone her training.
I went to the pond to pick a quest for her. But, Erbau came over to me for the fog. This time he was not alone but brought a large group of people. There were two huge wooden carriages pulled by four gigantic buffalo. The carriages contained blocks similar to bricks but were gray in color and doubled in size.
Meanwhile, behind the carriages were about twenty men and women in dull clothes. They all carried sacks on their backs. Some also bring handyman tools such as shovels or hammers.
Elise got up to her feet when she saw the flashy group.
“How are you, Ray?” With a broad smile, the god of buildings spread out his arms. “As I promised, I will build a temple for your warrior!”
“Well, thank you very much, Erbau.” I can’t hide my excitement.
“I won’t let you down.” Erbau gave a thumbs up, then looked at Elise. The woman was looking at the workers who were arranging building materials. “Ah, she still can’t move on from that incident, huh?”
“Yeah, but she still has to carry out her mission.” Again, I don’t want to be too emotionally attached to my servant. I could have allowed her to cope with the incident, but I don’t know how long. It might take some time, even if I use the fast-forward feature.
Every player wants the game to start right away, right?
“Well, you carried out your mission. I will direct my men.” An elongated light emerged from Erbau’s hand. The light solidified, then turned into a whip.
I grimaced at the whip, which was probably longer than most adults. Maybe that’s too much, but I have no right to indulge in other gods’ ways. “Well, good luck, and thanks for giving color to this boring place.”
Erbau nodded while still smiling, then whipped that thing into the air. “All of you, don’t slack off! You know what it feels like to be whipped by me, right!?”
The workers flinched, then sped up their work of arranging the materials. I went to the three quest tabs in the pond while pressing the communication button.
“Hey, Anja…”
“Ah, you’re going to send Elise on another quest, aren’t you, sir?” Anja said fast before I could finish my sentence. From her tone, I could tell that she was very disappointed. “I’m so sorry, but I’m swamped now. Maybe next time.”
And she hung up the call before I answered. Too bad, I like being accompanied by a beautiful woman in carrying out my god’s duty.

Before choosing one of them, I glanced at Elise again. Perhaps, this time I will select an easy quest, even though the third mission looks interesting. It’s not that I’m worried about her mental state, but I’m not sure that she will be at her best in carrying out difficult mission.
After pressing the first quest tab, I went to my servant. “I won’t say I understand your feelings. I know you were shaken up after that incident, but you must go on a mission soon, Elise. You must grant those people’s prayers.”
In my heart, I laughed when I said the last sentence. That is bullshit.
Elise closed her eyes for a moment. “Very well, sir.”
“Put on your battle armor.”
The woman picked up her outfit with a limp motion, then moved behind one of the pillars to change. She came out a few moments later.
“I hope you don’t lose it again,” I muttered and gave her a new sword and a bag of coins. “As a warrior, this thing is part of you.”
Elise took the sword, then walked towards the luminous part of the fog without saying anything. Her gaze was still blank and directed downwards. When I hit her ass, she barely responds, only pausing for a moment before continuing on her way.
Damn. I don’t like this. Apart from what I felt in my hand when I hit that woman’s butt, I was also looking forward to her reaction.
As soon as my warrior entered the fog, I stood before my magic pond.
“Well, I hope she can carry out her mission well.” Erbau came back to me with a smile. “But, I agree with what you did. Send Elise immediately on a mission. We really can’t be easy on our servants.”
I raised an eyebrow. “What makes you think like that?”
“They are just the souls of the dead.” The god of buildings stood beside me, holding his whip behind his back. “There is nothing more they can do than carry out their duties.”
“I can’t understand what you’re saying.”
Erbau widened his smile. “There is no other meaning in my words. You are free to agree with me or not.”
