3 – Awakening the father

-An angel sent by Deus said to Leopard, “Behold, the heavens that Deus, the only son of Lord Deus and the ruler of this world, will establish. Luke, the lord of the kingdom of , was established. The father did not know this and knew that Luke had been chosen as an apostle of Deus. So the father said to Luke, If she wants to convey the word, she must find a way. When Luke found it, his father was very surprised.

New Testament Gospel of Lydia (old Gospel of Scala) Chapter 1:34-39

* * *

My one and only precious son, Luke.

Since childhood, Luke has been weak and has often been ill.

When he was 4 years old, he became seriously ill to the point that his life was at stake.

To the extent that even the priests of the temple told them to prepare for their final farewell, saying that there was no hope.

However, it seems that some divine being took pity on him and gave him a special blessing.

Like his two older sisters, he didn’t have enough strength to match our family, but he was able to live a normal life like any other normal child.

…… Acting like a child chosen by a god in mythology.

There are often such stories in mythology.

A child chosen by God as his faithful servant is seriously ill in infancy, but at some point recovers and lives a normal life, then becomes an apostle of God.

Could it be that some god chose Luke as his own apostle?

He is my one and only precious son….

I can’t make you walk the path of suffering as an apostle of God…….

But what kind of existence is God?

An absolute being that a mortal like a human cannot dare to disobey.

If God chose Luke, there is no choice but to follow his will.

If you disobey God and incur wrath, there will be only a miserable ending waiting for you rather than death.

I hope that never happens.

One day when Luke was seven years old, Luke brought me a book from him.

The first book I brought was a novel of something.

From noble mtl dot com

It looked like a novel he had created.

A novel created by a child.

It was a novel with a high degree of completion for such a thing, but it was a different kind of novel with some differences from the existing novels, perhaps because it was written by a young child.

Luke seemed to want to make money selling this novel.

hahahaha. Are you trying to make money by selling books? Peculiar guy.

There is no way that this kind of novel could be sold even if it was sold, but the fact that a young child had such an idea was very proud of itself.

So I gave him a compliment and sent him back to the room.

Though he is a poor child born with a weak body that is not befitting of his family, he thinks that he might become a master who achieves great achievements in the field of culture.

Then, a few months later, Luke came back with ‘the book’.

The book that Luke could never have made alone.

The handwriting on the book was clearly Luke’s.

However, I never thought that Luke would have come up with the contents of the book himself.

The book contains the secrets of the continent that Luke would never know.

And there was a record about a forgotten god in ancient times.

Even in this empire, those secrets that no one but the Emperor and I knew.

There’s no way Luke will ever find out.

Unless some divine being helped him create this book.

Luke brought this book and told me.

He wants to make money selling this book.

You want to sell this book?

And money?

Our territory is not a very wealthy one, but it is quite affluent.

In particular, I tried to make sure that my precious son, Luke, who had suffered a lot since childhood, did not feel anything lacking.

That kind of Luke. A seven-year-old kid wants to earn money?

Something is strange.

Apparently, the god who chose Luke made Luke spread this book.

And not telling me the truth is that the god wants to hide this fact.

First, I made Luke go back to his room and read the entire book.

The name of the book is [Things to read if you live on the continent] – Old Testament Volume 1.

It’s a very crazy name.

A book that could have been made by a young child just by looking at the title.

However, if you read through the contents of the book, it is written about the danger that will come to the continent in the future, the army of chaos.

Forces of Chaos.

An evil force emerging beyond the northern mountains of the empire I am guarding. They are presumed to be coming from another dimension, as they are randomly generated in the air.

At this point, their numbers are small and weak, so they pose no threat to the empire, but the fact that hostile beings are coming over from another dimension can itself cause confusion, so the information is controlled for the general public of the empire. There is

This book prophesies that the force will grow rapidly and engulf the continent within decades.

And in order to prevent this, you must follow the god ‘Deus’.

I see.

Is the god who chose Luke called ‘Deus’?

He is a god never heard of.

While visiting the Imperial Library, he inquired about the name ‘Deus’, but he could not hear the name anywhere.

In this book, it is said that ‘Deus’ is a forgotten god who saved the continent in the age of mythology. If that’s true, it makes sense that no one knows the name.

A forgotten god who sacrificed his own existence to save the continent….

If Luke wrote this book under the guidance of ‘Deus’, then ‘Deus’ is definitely a good god.

Because the gods cannot lie.

If so, will our Luke be chosen by ‘Deus’ to become a savior who will save this continent?

My son is the one who will save the continent.

It might be a good thing for him who was born with a weak body compared to his sister and was always sad.

Actually, my mind was inclined.

Luke could never write a book like this alone.

Surely God helped.

However, since there is only one possibility, I decided to ask Luke to do it.

Secure a level of book distribution that will not be discovered by anyone.

For Luke, who is only 7 years old, this is impossible by himself.

However, it would be possible if the god ‘Deus’ really exists and helps Luke.

With that in mind, let’s put conditions on Luke…….

“Meet the Archduke, the high sword of the Empire. I am Scala Arachne, the guild leader of the information guild Arachne.”

Luke easily captured the best information guild in the empire.

___

I was allowed to sell the books I made, but at the same time his father put forward one condition.

It should never be taken that the person who wrote this book is me.

We need to find a distribution book that will never reveal its identity.

Considering the fact that I was seven years old when I brought this book to my father, I’m practically telling you not to do it.

How can a 7-year-old get a book distribution book no matter how high-ranking he is? It is also a distribution book with the condition that it will not be caught by anyone.

Perhaps my father made this condition because he did not want me to take it lightly, and because he was worried about any possible risks.

Don’t do it until you have the ability to achieve these conditions.

But I am not an ordinary seven-year-old.

A possessor who knows a lot of information about this continent.

Although not all information is perfect since the beginning of the main story is 10 years later, there is a way to secure a distribution book.

One day, I went to Calandra, the capital of the empire, due to an event held by the imperial family.

I asked my father for a few knights to escort me and some money.

Even though a seven-year-old child said he would go out with only a driver, his father readily agreed.

…… Do you have faith in me? Even so, I won’t stop the little boy from saying where he’s going.

I had prepared several words to persuade my father, but luckily I was able to get permission without using those words.

So I took the strong knights of the north as an escort and stopped by the herbal medicine shop.

Then, I bought various herbs that were commonly available, borrowed the store’s facilities, and mixed them properly to make the medicine I needed.

To make the best information guild in the empire on my side, which I need to distribute this book.

There are several information guilds within the empire. Those information guilds that often appear in fantasy worlds.

Among them, there was an information guild that succeeded in completely taking over the capital of the empire, and that was Arachne.

Scala Arachne, a woman from a fallen noble family.

She started from the bottom and built an information guild with only her own abilities, including ‘gift’, and she grew to the point where she completely dominated the world behind the empire’s capital.

After that, only solid roads were expected to wait.

The driving force that made her live so hard and the meaning of her life, her younger sister got an incurable disease.

[Deus Ex Machina] At the beginning of the main story, she succeeded in inventing a cure for the incurable disease by mobilizing alchemists and magicians from all over the empire. Even though her sister had already died many years before that.

But as a latecomer of the game, at this point I know how to make a cure for that incurable disease.

It’s a medicine that I’ve made countless times as a recovery medicine for status ailments in the [Deus Ex Machina] Game.
