Chapter 246: Lacked Confidence

After the God of Light said they should start she saw him reopen the door he had come in through. Following him she saw that it was just that room that was pure white with no detail. It seemed wherever she was at the moment was another world entirely. "It's not. These are my plans for the Light Domain. Come I'll show you."

Following the God of Light out onto a balcony she saw it was indeed a city they were standing in the middle of. "I spend my free time planning out the best layout for the future of the Light Domain. As you can see the Temple and a few other important parts of the city are already where they are in the real world so we don't have to move them in the future."

Looking around Tiff noticed she could see something off in the distance. "Is that the Holy Domain?" Tiff ended up saying this before she remembered that the God of Light probably didn't want to think about his dead wife. "Yeah we used to plan them in tandem so they would be able to form together seamlessly once we grew them enough in real life but I left it the way she had it after she was killed so mine has a lot more done to it than hers."

"Is that the Alchemist guild? I thought it was tall already."

"No, it's the Mages guild. The Alchemist guild doesn't exist here." Tiff once again realized she was saying the wrong things and said. "Well I hope I get to see this in the real world someday." She felt this was a good way to end this conversation before she ended up saying something wrong again.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to get mad at you for having it wrong. It's mostly my fault that the Mages guild fell apart after she died. It's one of the many casualties we suffered while I was gone looking for Akal." Tiff remembered the conversation they had had the last time they talked about this and didn't think they needed to rehash it.

"You're right let's go." Walking with the God of Light through the future version of the Light Temple Tiff looked around a bit and started to notice a person here and there. She was going to ask who they were but the God of Light went ahead and gave her the obvious answer. "They're Demigods, some mine, some serve the other Gods, but they all have jobs to do so don't get in their way."

Tiff had no plans to stand in the way of any of them but she didn't really have the chance because so far none of them had come anywhere near them. "I meant in the future. There will be times that you will be here. So, in the future try not to get in the way." Hearing this Tiff realized she would be doing what the God of Light told her from now on and that would include stuff here involving other Demigods.

"Other gods as well."

"That won't be for a while though right?"

"Correct, you won't really be useful right away since it will take you time to level up the job." Tiff knew what he was talking about, most jobs that were like the one she was about to receive had missions you had to complete for each level instead of having the same Exp conditions for all the levels.

"Correct all you'll need to do is come back and see me using the oracle every time you need a new mission. I'll try to make it stuff that will allow you to stay near your friends to so don't worry about having to go on some grand campaign." This was a good thing because she was really only getting this job to help with the war.

"You don't need to worry about the war. We did a good enough job at hiding the amount of you we had so the Demon Worshipers are scrambling to find a way to match your might without pulling all of the giants to one place. They will go after smaller places first to free up some of their forces so just look out for news about your smaller outposts falling."

Tiff had heard similar things already in some of the meetings about the war so she wasn't surprised to know the God of Light was the source. "Well we're here. Are you ready, this can take a while and I would rather answer questions now." Tiff didn't really even know what to ask other than. "Is it painful?"

The God of Light shook his head no and said. "The opposite. It will be similar to the feeling of earning Experience." Tiff was happy to hear this and was ready to start. "Ok, come into the room in a minute." After he said this the God of Light walked into the room and left her out in the hallway.

Looking around she saw there was a clock on the wall and used it to count the time until she had been told to enter. Walking into the room once the minute passed she was able to tell this was some kind of workshop but she didn't spend much time looking around because of what the God of Light was standing next to.

She had never seen a formation like it before but she knew what it was. It was the job she was about to receive. "All that needs to be done for it to be ready is for me to power it and then I can grant it to you." After he said this he pulled something she recognized as the core she fished from the giant they had killed from a small box on a table nearby.

Once it was in his hand he moved it towards the formations that made up the job until it started to glow. Tiff could tell the divinity was moving into the formations from the core but she couldn't really see it happening just the signs of it. After a while the core in the God of Lights hand crumbled and he dumped the powder into a trashcan nearby.

Looking back at the formation Tiff could see it had started to move slightly but before she could really study how it looked it started to shrink down until it looked like a speck of light. With that she was unable to see any details even as she tried to get closer to get a good look. "Alright do you want to do it here or in the real world?"

"I would prefer the real world but does it actually matter, my body is there right?" He was asking if she wanted to see this or the real world during the process so she didn't really care. "Like I said it can take a while for the grant to finish and you'll be able to speak during it so I was more asking who you wanted to talk to."

"In that case I will stay here and talk to you." Tiff wouldn't talk if she was sent back to the real world since the Temple Head and the Oracle around and she was unable to stay quiet here since the God of Light could hear her thoughts. "Good choice, I would have had to call you back after it was over to tell you all the stuff you needed to do and give you your first mission anyway."

After he said this the speck of light she had been looking at moved towards the God of Lights hand and she could tell it was about to start. She didn't know what to do with her hands so she just put them to her sides and closed her eyes until she opened them again remembering it wasn't going to hurt.

Watching the Light leave the God of Lights hand and enter into her chest heading for her core she heard the noise of getting a new job and looked at what it was called because she hadn't been told yet. [New Job Unlocked Imitation] Reading the name Tiff remembered what the God of Light had said about the source of the job.

He had spent some time studying the skills Akal had used while chasing him down instead of just killing him at the first chance he had. The name of this job reflected the fact she was an imitation of those skills. "That's right, are you ready for your first mission?" Tiff was a bit confused and asked. "You said it would take a while? Am I already done?"

"Yeah, it seems I did a good job on its design. It really only takes a while if the job isn't ready to be used yet." Tiff had some questions about what he had just said but he had asked her one first. "I'm ready for the first mission." The God of Light seemed happy to hear how serious she was and said. "I bet you can guess what it is if you really tried."

Thinking a few thoughts ran through her head until she thought of the dagger. "That's the one. I want you to get it back. It's the only weapon fit for you at this time that I know of so we can't leave it with who has it." Thinking back to her meeting with Jon, Tiff didn't think it would be hard to get it from him as long as she could find him.

The only problem was the thing she had used to track him last time was gone. Back in the hands of the people who had given it to her in the first place. They had also tried to kidnap her afterwards so she didn't have any problems with going to get it back from them. "Sounds like a good plan. Almost wonder why you hadn't done it until now."
