Hi there! My name is Kirara and as you might have guessed, I absolutely adore everything that sparkles. My love for reading webnovels and light...
“…Where am I? Wait, didn’t something like this happen before…?”
When I came to, I found myself lying on a white bed in a white space.
Isn’t this the place where I met with Samady-san before?
As I got up, the same thing that happened when I first came here occurred: white light gathered around me. The light grew bigger and bigger until Samady appeared from within it.
“I’m sorry to have called you so suddenly, Shinomiya-sama… I mean, Lark-sama.”
“Long time no see, Samady-san. Um, why am I here again? Did I…die again or something…?”
“No, not at all. This isn’t the afterlife, it’s a place called the divine realm. Since your ‘faith’ level has reached its maximum, I can summon you here now.”
“What…?”
I quickly appraised myself to check my status.
[Name] Lark [Age] 12 [Race] Human [Gender] Male [Status] Healthy [Level] 1 [SP] 0 [Strength] 1000 [Mana] 1000 [Agility] 1000 [Dexterity] 201 (+20) [Luck] 51 [Skills] Cooking: 3, Useful Box: 3, Daily Life Magic: 1, Appraising Eye: 3, Short Sword Technique: 3, Mana Control: 3, Sewing: 2, Concentration: 4, Faith: 5, Wordless Incantation: 3, Synthesis Magic: 3, Presence Detection: 3, Martial Arts: 3, Swordsmanship: 2, Physical Ability Enhancement: 1, Poison Resistance: 1, Mental Resistance: 3, Hunger Resistance: 1, Fire Magic: 3, Wind Magic: 4, Water Magic: 3, Earth Magic: 2, Light Magic: 1 , Dark Magic: 1, Thunder Magic: 1, Ice Magic: 2, Holy Magic: 1 , Null Magic: 2 [Special Abilities] Enhanced Memory Capacity, World Language, EXP Amplification: 10x, God’s Veil [Blessings] Samadyla’s Protection, Magilt’s Protection, Goldra’s Protection [Title] The Reincarnated, The God’s Host, The Blessed, Individual who has Reached the Limit, Believer, Divine One[1]…My “faith” skill level really did reach 5. Oh, and when I prayed the other day and my body glowed, it must have been to inform me that my level had reached its maximum. I thought it was just my imagination and ignored it.
And there’s a new title too.
“So it was true when Samady-san said, “When your ‘faith’ level goes up, we may be able to meet again…” But, what in the world is this Divine Being title for…?”
“Lark-sama possesses a title for meeting with the gods as well. Only when both the skill and the title are acquired can one be granted an audience with a god. Also, the title of ‘Divine One’ is given when one’s ‘Faith’ level reaches its maximum,” he explained.
“I see… By the way, the order of the skills displayed has changed slightly. Why is that?”
“I adjusted it as a service to make it easier for you to see. Lark-sa,a, you have many skills to remember, after all. If you ever want it reorganized again, please let me know.”
“Ah, I see. Thank you… Oh, speaking of which, I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now. I have two other divine protections besides yours, Samady-san. Who are those people, exactly?”
When I asked about something that had been bothering me for a long time, Samady provided the answer.
“That means there are other gods who are also keeping an eye on you, Lark-sa,a. They had mentioned wanting to greet you during this audience, but… Ah, speak of the devil, and they’ve arrived.”
The moment Samady finished speaking, two spheres of white light appeared in the surroundings, transforming into human forms. A beautiful woman and a muscular man appeared.
The woman opened her mouth first, “Nice to meet you, Lark-kun. I am Magilt, the Goddess of Magic. Has my divine protection been of any help to you?”
“Yes, I use magic quite often, so it’s been incredibly helpful. Thank you.”
“Well, I’m glad to hear that… Now, it’s Goldra’s turn.”
As Magilt said this, the muscular man stepped forward. “I am Goldra, the God of War[2]. I have decided to grant you my blessing after observing your dedication to training.”
“Thank you very much for that. But why can’t I see the effects of your blessing?”
Goldra’s divine protection, unlike Magilt’s, couldn’t be appraised to see its effects.
“Having its effects known to many would be… unpleasant for me. In time, you will naturally come to understand its effects, so please wait for a while.”
Saying so, Goldra turned back into a sphere of light and disappeared somewhere. As I stood dumbfounded, Magilt in turn added an explanation, “Goldora is quite shy, you know. But his blessing is extremely useful, so look forward to it,” she winked and turned back into a sphere of light, disappearing just like Goldra.
They really just came to say hello and left…
After the two gods left, Samady began to speak, “Now then, let’s discuss the reason I summoned Lark-sama here.”
“Ah, yes. Please do.”
“The reason I called you here is to apologize to you, Lark-sama. It has already been two years for you, but once again, we have placed you in a difficult situation due to our negligence, and I am truly sorry,” he said, bowing his head. “Although it’s late, please allow me to apologize,” he continued and held his right hand towards me.
Then, a small sphere of light emerged from his right hand and flew into my body.
“Uh? W-what was that!?”
“Please check your status once more.”
As told, I nervously activated my “Appraising Eye.”

“What is this ‘Miraculous Sacred Light?”
“It’s a skill that can completely heal any injury or illness, as long as the target isn’t dead. However, once you use it, you won’t be able to use it again for thirty days, so choose your timing wisely.”
“…Huh?” my voice cracked.
Isn’t that way too overpowered?
As I stood there dumbfounded, Samady explained the skill to me. “It’s one of my abilities turned into a skill. I thought that you, Lark-sama, would certainly make good use of it, so I decided to pass it on to you.”
“…Aren’t you trusting me too much?”
“It’s true that giving too much power to an individual isn’t a good thing… But after observing you in the divine realm for two years, I decided that it’s alright.”
“I see, well then, I gratefully accept… By the way, does this skill work on old wounds as well?”
As I wanted to ask a question with Father in mind, Samady smiled and nodded, “Of course. It can fully restore even a missing limb,” which seemingly see right through me.
If I can use this to heal Father’s leg and eye, I want to do it right away.
“But if I suddenly use this power, it’ll be quite a shock, won’t it?”
“That’s true. However, I don’t think your father will be too surprised.”
“Really? Why is that?”
“Your father knows that you pray every day without fail. In this world, it’s very rare for a miracle to occur for those who are deeply devout. So if you explain it as a divine miracle, he might accept it.”
“But the healers in our country couldn’t heal Father’s injuries. If I suddenly heal them, I feel like it’ll cause a big problem…”
“That’s a possibility. Well, Lark-sama, you’ll just have to find a way to smooth things over.”
Suddenly, it all seems so dangerous…
At that moment, my body suddenly began to glow white.
“Oops, it seems like it’s morning. I can only be here while Lark-sama is asleep, so it’s time for us to part ways.”
“Eh? It’s morning already? It’s only been about ten minutes, hasn’t it?”
“In the divine realm, the flow of time is a bit different from reality, you see. Well then, let’s meet again.”
The moment Samady said this, I was engulfed in a brilliant light.
Footnotes
[1] In the manga, it says here as Holy Man but the title seems really weird to me, so I decided to rename it Divine One instead.
[2] Previously written as God of Weapons in the manga. However, considering kanji 武 (bu or mu) meanings that primarily represent concepts related to martial arts, the military, or anything associated with warfare and combat, I believe the title God of War is more appropriate in this context.
[3] In the manga, it says here as Holy Man but the title seems really weird to me, so I decided to rename it Divine One instead.
