Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

A beautiful hawk flew through the skies of Quebec's city, looking around with its sharp eyes, as if trying to find something in specific. It expanded its senses everywhere, spreading them further and further. It has been flying like this for hours, accompanied by a small blue colored parrot and a white howl.

Then, slowly, they descended into a familiar-looking neighborhood, near Elayne's house. The moment they landed, they felt a refreshing, all-encompassing feeling. Her Domain was growing stronger, and its effects helped them relieve their exhaustion after flying for hours after hours.

"Hahh… Looks like there aren't any nearby." Said the hawk.

"I have terrible eyesight in this form, are you sure, Rudras?" The blue parrot asked.

"Of course I am, Emilio! Also, there's Elder Janny with us anyways." Said the hawk.

The white howl nodded. "I expanded my Spiritual Senses as far as I could, and indeed, there was nothing. It seems that Aria and the Demons have fallen back. I believe they might have escaped the city entirely." She said casually, before releasing three feather projectiles from her wings and destroying a human-sized Hollow that was rummaging the trash.

"So the Blighters and the Demons are really gone… For now?" Emilia wondered, tilting his cute parrot head. "Really? Can we finally relax for a bit?"

"I hope so…" Janny nodded. "However, we don't know for sure what might happen in the future. Aria is still alive, and with Kalma there, even when our Goddess defeated her, they might still be scheming something again. We must keep our alerts high. This entire city has unexpectedly become a focal point for evil, as much as it is for good. And it might all be because of our Goddess."

"Her powers are incredible, but it is also something many desire… Yeah, she has also slain Demons, and has allied a small Angel, Heaven might be on our side, incredibly enough." Said Rudras.

"I wouldn't count too much on their help though, Angels and Demons do their own stuff, most people can't even see them, not even us Druids." Said Emilio.

"But they can manifest their strength, and the Demons have showed clear hostility towards our Goddess…" Janny said. "Demons on their own might be an overwhelming foe for us Druids, but we've gone through many hardships, and we come out stronger than ever each time. As long as we stay within our Goddess' Domain, we'll be able to easily regenerate our energies.

We should continue meditating and commuting with Nature to improve our Nature Souls."

"I suppose this is what we've gotten ourselves into now…" Sighed Rudras. "If I had known I would be making Demons my enemies I wouldn't have freaking come here…"

"Coward!" Emilio squeaked. "I thought you were brave!"

"A-Ah, I mean… Yeah, but still… I am too young to make so many enemies!" Rudras cried.

"Hoho, well, we Druids can live alone, but we become stronger the larger our societies become. Our goddess is still a young one. As long as we keep helping her and protecting her, her family, and her Domain, I am sure she will flourish into something great and incredible." Janny smiled. "After all, haven't you noticed already? Her presence, it oozes Divinity of the highest order.

Her Domain is fluctuating, new powers are emerging. She's already beginning to evolve further…"

The three birds noticed within Elayne's Domain, as countless streams of silver, gold, green, red, and blue colored energies constantly flowed through everything, rushing down towards her house's underground, where the Domain Core was located.

And they felt within her, an even stronger Spark of Divinity than ever before. Whatever that connection to her Realm they had experienced before, it had only become stronger now.

"Is she ascending?!" Rudras muttered. "I've never… seen so much Divinity before!"

"No, she's not, to her this might just be another day." Laughed Janny. "She will definitely become an incredible being in the future… Perhaps the Yggdragon's Myth will finally become real."

"I can't wait!" Emilia squeaked excitedly.

Despite how much time it felt since we entered the Dungeon, which felt like almost half a month, it has only been three days since the mall incident. The morning of the next day came rather calmly and relaxed, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, it was still winter after all, but I could tell the sun was doing its best to illuminate our days even if a little bit.

Last night we had a big feast of Chinese food, so much that we ended completely bloated, right after that, we just went to sleep. Nothing special or supernatural happened, and I was honestly grateful for that.

This morning was also relaxing, after waking up, Mark slowly woke up as well, looking very sleepy. I dragged him to the bathroom, and we took a bath together, after that, he felt much more refreshed.

"Phew, let's have breakfast now, honey." I smiled.

"S-Sure…" He nodded. "Ah, I've been thinking about something lately though."

"Huh? What is it?" I asked, as I started preparing everything for breakfast, the girls were still asleep, including Gabriel.

"I think I'll quit my job… I've prepared everything by now, I even chose someone to inherit my position in the office." Said Mark.

"Huh? Wait, what? Are you serious?" I asked. "But I thought you liked your job?"

"Yeah, but I can't afford to be away from you when the world is slowly changing like this… Also we need to prioritize our progression on Arcadia, if I quit my job I can get more time. Also we're making enough money to life well by selling the products you craft in Arcadia, right?" He asked.

"And well, we also get paid well by SWORD by eliminating monsters, yeah." I nodded. "We got enough money to life off for the rest of our lives… I honestly don't know what to do with so much money sometimes."

"Hahah, we can figure that out together…" He giggled.

"Thank you, I really appreciate your decision…" I walked towards him, leaving behind what I was doing and hugging him from behind.

I kissed his neck and cheek, and then he responded with a passionate kiss on my lips.

"I do everything for you, I love you." He smiled, caressing my face. "Let's work together and do our best."

"Yeah!" I smiled, kissing him again. "I love you even more! Mooch, mooch!"

"Hahah." He giggled adorably, as I kissed his entire face. "Right, what should we do now though?"

"Hmm, aside from breakfast. I was thinking on tending my Domain for a bit, there might be a few things we should look at… Also the Druids! Have you seen any mysterious animal around? They just disappeared even after having helped us back then." I sighed. "I want to know more about them and talk with them, but they're so shy!"

"I guess they're IRL Druids, they must be much different than those from Arcadia…" Mark said. "Well, we can only wait for them to make first contact."

Knock, knock…

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.

"Who is it?"

I went to open the door, as I suddenly felt slightly dizzy.

The sky turned clear pink, the clouds purple.

The plants became weird and colorful.

Everything started to twist out of nowhere.

And when I opened the door and saw who it was, I felt slightly… weirded out.

"My, you must be the new neighbor, good morning!"

It was a one meter and a half green frog, wearing a black suit, and tipping his fedora to greet me.

"What the fu…"
