"I accept."
Hearing those words from afar, the two gods, Meliodas and Elizabeth inwardly let out a bitter sigh.
Why must you push yourself too hard.
After hearing Akashi's reply, Archangel Metatron turned his gaze towards Sandalphon and spoke.
{Archangel Sandalphon, I'll take it from here.}
Archangel Sandalphon merely nodded and step back beside the The Goddess of Light and Life.
{Now then, I, Archangel Chief Metatron, the Scribe of Heaven, in behalf of Eden speak thee, O chosen ones, rise and receive thy divine blessings.}
With the exemption of Akashi who remained standing, the other four slowly stood up. They inwardly breathed out a sigh of relief as they took several glances to Akashi in which the latter merely ignored.
{Hayate Daichi, O noble one of great origins yet lived in misery. We bestow upon thee the job class, Knight. In addition we also bestow upon thee the attributes of Water and Light. And as thou have displayed great leadership, The Beautiful Goddess of Love bestow upon thee the Blessing of Love!}
A blinding light enveloped Daichi as he gently levitated in the air and a unknown bluish energy began to congregate in his abdomen and his clothes began to transform. Blue and white particles slowly began to appear around him and merged with the blue lights
An iron breastplate strapped in leather armor ,thick leather pants and a leather helmet adorned his body. He held a wooden buckler with steel plating in his left and an iron sword in his right.
As he slowly land, he oozed an overwhelming charisma and majesty that made him like a true king.
{Sugo Shin, O knowledgeable one who seek wisdom to prove his worth. We bestow upon thee the job class, Wizard. In addition we bestow upon thee the attributes of Fire, Wind, Earth and Light. As thou have displayed a boundless desire to learn, The Archangel Sandalphon grants thee access to the library of heaven.}
In the same time, A blinding light enveloped him as he slowly levitated as well. The mysterious energy began to congregate towards his abdomen but the amount is much more in contrast to Daichi.
Red, green, yellow and white particles of light drifted towards his abdomen and merged with the mysterious energy.
His clothes began to transform into scholarly robes of silk. He adorned a large coned hat and held a crooked wooden staff in his hand.
{Murokawa Tsukasa, O strong one restricted by the shackles of sin. We bestow upon thee the job class, Rogue. In addition we bestow upon thee the attributes of Lightning and Space. Because of thou innate skills, Martial God of War bestow upon thee the Blessing of War. }
Once again, the blinding light enveloped Tsukasa and the mysterious energy drifted towards him but it was more less than others.
Emerald green and dark purple particles of light drifted towards him and his clothes began to change.
With two daggers in his hand, he adorned a black coat tied in by a leather belt with strapped sheaths behind it and a black leather hat.
{Ryunosuke Shouko, O talented one of heroic yet weak heart. We bestow upon thee the job class, Ranger. In addition we bestow upon thee the attributes of Ice and Time. Witnessing thou heroic spirit, The Blacksmithing God of Creation bestow upon thee the Blessing of Creation.}
The light that enveloped him was blinding as the unknown energy moved towards his abdomen, much less than Shin but more than Daichi.
Azure blue and lignt purple particles of light moved towards him and merged with him. A bow then appeared in his hand and his clothing changed into a light leather armor with a quiver with brimming arrows was strapped in his back.
Finally it was Akashi's turn and he couldn't help but feel a bit shaken. A support tanker, an Aoe damage dealer, a lethal single target damage dealer, a range damage dealer. What's left to become an ideal party combination in games is the worst type that Akashi could possibly get.
{Kageyama Akashi, O Unique one destined with the cruelty of fate. We bestow upon thee the job class, Priest. In addition we bestow upon thee the attributes of Light and... Life.}
So his premonition was actually right. To be assigned to the bread- shuttle class truly is the worse but the short pause when Archangel Metatron uttered the word life made Akashi's raise a brow.
Just as Akashi finished his thoughts, the Archangel Metatron's gaze locked into his eyes. They stared intently for a second at each other and Metatron lips curved as he spoke his next words that made the atmosphere heavy.
{And for a secret reason I, The Archangel Chief and Scribe of Heaven hereby bestow the [(Sealed) Eye of Heaven!]}
His words were not that loud but it reverberated to all the Divine beings here and it caused a commotion.
{Hoh, Isn't this a sign of favoritism. Such great expectations wahahaha!}
{Now, now calm down it's getting hotter of you get worked up you know. But it surely is refreshing to see Archangel Chief Metatron favor someone.}
{Interesting...}
{...Though... it's sealed... It's.. too much... for a human.}
Voices of different origins resounded out loud in the heaven.
Meanwhile Akashi began to undergo a change as the bright light of a different magnitude engulfed him.
The mysterious bluish energy started to surround his figure and it slowly forced itself to reside in his abdomen forming a spherical crystal. The amount of energy that was stored was like a dam that barely held the energy back.
{Woah, his innate mana is inhuman, are you sure that he came from that place brother.}
{Yeah surely for a world devoid of mana, it's suprising brother.}
His clothes began to disperse and was replaced by a fine silk robe draped over his shoulder with white garments underneath the clergy robe.
He held a wooden cane with a slightly curved end in his hand as he landed slowly.
{Personally I like the aesthetics of the robe.}
{Of course, my sewing skills are also the pinnacle. And by the way I also made the clothes of the others but why are you so obsessed with clergy clothes.}
{Hah! You two sure are as carefree as always. Hmph!}
Just as Akashi opened his eyes he felt the refreshing mana in his abdomen. Just as he was about to will the mana in his body, he was cut off by the voice of Archangel Metatron.
{I see, now you guys are now aquainted with mana. Let me explain this first, since this energy is devoid in your world.}
{Mana is the universal energy that can be used to harness the different powers. There are magic that uses circle formulas, aura formed by combining it with intent and holy power to communicate with gods and etc.}
While feeling his mana, the strange sensation seem to permeate his body as the mana began to circulate in some different passages than his blood veins.
{Hmm... I guess further explanation should be provided by the children below later on. Now then as it happens to be, there is this thing you call as system. This system in our world is called Revelation. To access this system simply think strongly of the word 'status'.}
Before Akashi could say a word, Tsukasa screamed loudly in excitement as he began to jump up and down like monkey.
"Fuck it truly is the system! It is the system!! In an Isekai world!!!"
Sugo Shin's face near him twitch as he resisted the urge to smack Tsukasa down. Daichi merely stared in front of him dazedly and Ryunosuke held his hand in his chin and began to nod to himself as he stared ahead.
'Status.'
When Akashi thought of those words out loud, a row of text were seemingly imprinted in his mind.
Name: Kageyama Akashi
Title: None
Race: Human
Level: 1
Job class: Priest (Tier 2)
Job level: 1
Strength: E(-)
Dexterity: E(+)
Intelligence:D(-)
Vitality: E
Mana: C(-)
Skills:
Light Attribute (Common)- level 1
Life attribute (???)- level 1
Game system interface (Unique)- level 1
Prayer (Common)- level 1
Faith( Common)- level 1
(Sealed) Eye of Heaven (???)- level ???
Akashi was suprise to see those string of words in his mind.
'Hmm, though there are a few problems with this kind of status window.'
What caught Akashi's eyes was the two separate level. A level for himself and a level for his job. It truly is quite a concept of separating level but how do you even level up in the first place.
Second, he began to examine his stats and he couldn't get a proper estimate of its value since there was no comparison to point at.
' Judging by my physical abilities, my strength, dexterity and vitality should be the lowest possible grade so E(-) should be the most lowest value I could get', Akashi began to delve deeper in his thoughts ' Though then if you consider it like that, doesn't it make my intelligence above average however what ticks me off is this thing called Mana.'
To achieve a C grade, his mana must be in a higher standard than others since it is non-existent in Earth. However what's more, there is that mysterious Life attribute and the (Sealed)Eye of Heaven.
'Lets just put the Life attribute as an attribute for healing and the Eye of Heaven is... judging by the commotion earlier it seems to be a ultra powerful skill but it's sealed...', Just as Akashi began to delve deeper into his thoughts a prompt appeared in front of him.
Yes, it was prompt like notification window commonly seen in game, different from the words transmitted in his mind.
[Game system interface initializing...]
[User character configuration...]
[Error!]
[(Sealed) Eye of Heaven is interfering...]
[Eden's System: Revelation is merging...]
[Success! System will undergo a reboot...]
[Game interface is currently inaccessible.]
[Rebooting: 1% (6 days, :23:59:59 left)]
Different bluish notification prompts flooded his eyes as he slowly grew flustered. After the final prompt, the walls of text in his mind disapeared.
'W-whats happening?!'
{Calm down, O Unique one, It's a good result. Looking at it I guess it would need 7 days to successfully reboot. Quite an interesting skill you have human.}
Archangel Metatron voice woke him up from his thoughts and he regained his composure.
'Can you actually read minds? And you even know my skills, can others also read it?' Akashi thought strongly as he tested the waters.
{No we angels are only capable of reading mind if the person agrees to and others can simply get a glimpse of your physical attributes. I'm just a special case.}
Akashi inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. He began to inspect the prompt windows. After a minute of two, Archangel Metatron once again spoke to them.
{Now that, you have received the Revelation, I would discuss to you the restrictions placed to you by the world.}
{First is that you won't be able to wield a weapon of different job but you could touch it, only without the intent to use it. Second, you won't be able to change your job class into another. And lastly as mentioned earlier the moment one of you die, the rest will also die.}
"Wait what kinds of weapon could we wield? Of course except for the weapons we have now." Daichi asked with confidence as he tap the buckler in his hand.
"And what does the second mean? " Shin raised his glasses as he began to ponder. Tsukasa then said as he began to twirl his daggers.
"The last is quite a pain in the ass you know, not like any of us would want to die."
"No it's not that bad, we just have to look out each others back." Ryunosuke said with smile as he pinched the string in his bow.
{Hmm. I believe this would be hard to understand speaking to us. I'd advise you speak to the children later.}
"""Children?""" The three spoke in unison exept Shin.
{Now then, your soul has stayed for quite a time in Heaven and anymore might break it in pressure. God of Space and Fortune Spaltia , God of Time and Destiny Tempeltia, the ceremony has finished, send them to the childrens.}
{Well time to work brother.}
{I know brother.}
The ruby and pearl began to transform to a gigantic vague shape with a scarlet and silver hue in their head. Their body was cloaked in dark purplish and light purplish fog respectively.
The same circle found earlier in the student council office appeared below them and Akashi and the rest turned into particles of light and was slowly disappearing.
Just as everything was going well, the purple magic circle below them began to glow crimson scarlet and an eerie laughter was heard.
{Kukuku, Don't think we would let you do as you please Metatron, kukukukuku kukukuku!!}
{Mammon!!! I swear if something happens with them, I will personally extinguish you from this universe!}
After hearing those words, the Great Goddess of Light and Life, Zarila face distorted. Seeing her face, Archangel Metatron also turned grim and his voice shook the heaven.
{Primordial Gods, help the two Gods in maintaining the magic circle. Michael go and search for the Sinner of Greed. Sacarius and Uriel accompany him. Gabriel relay the news to the holy kingdom below and the Empire. This is the Decree of God, "Protect the Otherworldly Saviours from Heaven at all cost!".}
After Metatron finished speaking he willed the power of the thirteen circles in his cube and began to interfere with the balance of Order. The cube in his hand began to rotate and the eerie laughter began to grow faint.
Just as they began to sigh in relief, a domineering voice boomed out and resounded in every corners of Heaven.
{Unworthy beings of Heaven! Hear my voice O you foolish slaves of God. We won't underestimate them and we'll kill those humans you've summoned. Know this is merely a foolish struggle of yours. I swear with my Sin, I ,the rightful heir of God will banish all you impure beings and sit on the throne of Heaven.}
Archangel Metatrons eyes shook and the cube in his hand began to rotate faster in response to his anger. His normally calm face began to distort heavily and all Heaven, Hell and universe shook from his voice filled with anger.
{LUCIFER!!!!!}
