I came up with quite a few long sentences. If the IA is able to understand even a tenth part of it, then Iâll admit that this is the god of the games, but I really wonder if it will be able?
ăHear me out people who escaped from a narrow death, Iâm the God of Fate. You have been able to escape from the pursuit of monsters by none other than my miracle. From now on, I will grant you all an oracle only once a day with the hope you can live healthy in accordance with my orders. First, cut down the trees and secure a place to liveă
I talked like some bigshot, but Iâm a God, so it should be fine. I believe I didnât mistype anything.
Even though I ended writing the sentence seriously, itâs not like they will understand the content of the sentence,
While laughing sarcastically at my own naivety I pressed ăEnteră
ăEveryone! Thereâs an oracle from the God of Fate in the bibleă
The priest, Chem, who is clearly exaggerating is surprised.
Everyone looks at the bible at once. I wonder what kind of reaction you all will show me now?
ăUmăź Iâm sorry. Neither Carol and I canât readă
Laila raises her hand in shame while Carol stretches her arm cheerfully.
ăI can recognize simple characters, but hard ones are impossible. Could you read for us, Chem?ă
ăBut, brother you know how to⌠Okay. Then, Iâll read ită
If I were to guess from their conversation, the literacy rate of this world is not high.
From the way Gams talks, it seems like he really knows how to read, but as to not embarrass Laila and the others he pretended to be bad at it.
This Gams is an untalkative but attentive guy.
Even though he was only a target of my envy, his likeability rose a little.
Even so, the production of this game is very detailed. Thatâs why I feel that the tempo is a little off, but I donât dislike human interactions.
After taking a deep breath, Chem speaks exactly what I typed.
Well, itâs not that difficult since she is reciting just what I wrote. The problem starts after that.
ăSo it was God who saved us!? He has even pointed us the wayâŚă
ăThank you, God!ă
Even the couple overwhelmed with emotion fell on their knees and began to pray to heaven.
Unaware of the situation, Carol just laughs. On the other side, Gams lowered his head to pray in silence without changing his expression.
ăâŚYouâre kiddingă
They move and act as if they had completely understood the content of the writing.
ăHey hey, really? How can a character understand and opine by themselves? This is unbelievable. Isnât this technology decades ahead?ă
The latest PCs and smartphones have an AI capable of understanding words, however, they are only able to understand simple commands or words.
They simply donât have the ability to understand complex and long sentences. It may be that this is one of the preprogrammed behavioral patterns.
ăThe God of Fate wants us to secure wood and a place to sleep. So everyone, letâs split and cut down some trees!ă
âŚThey speak as if they had completely understood the words I have written.
ăThere is a lot of wood since we are inside of a forest, but wood canât be used as soon as you cut it down. To use it you have to process it, but it takes time to dry it after you cut it downă
So this time it was Lodis who expressed his opinion with his arms folded? âŚN? Drying time to process it?
Eh? Usually, in this kind of game, as soon you cut trees down, it will turn into wood and you can start the construction of the house. I really wonder to what extent this game pretends to be realisticâŚ
ăDo we have to really dry the wood?ă
Good point, Chem. I was thinking the same.
ăThe tree contains a lot of water, so if you donât dry it it will change its shape. Thatâs why, if you process it before drying it and you end up constructing something, the object in question will end with flawsă
ăThere was something like that? I was ignorantă
Chem and I, who was at the other side of the screen, nodded at the same time like we were synchronized.
Itâs the first time I heard something like that. I tried to act like an omnipotent existence, but this blunder was a bit embarrassing.
ăGodâs thoughts are not something so simple that people like us could understand. There has to be a meaning behind Godâs idea. Then, how about we start cutting some trees first? Even if we can not use them now, thereâs no loss in securing it for lateră
Thanks for the follow-up, Lodis.
After everyone agreed, they took out axes and saws they had in a wooden box that was loaded on the carriage. Being men, Lodis and Gams were in charge of cutting down trees.
The women faction was in charge of exploring and looking for things to eat.
Itâs possible to zoom in and out using the mouse wheel button to check the place.
Moving away from the ground, the whole map appears black with the exception of the place where my characters are. And that Iâm only able to see a zigzag line extending from the place which is deemed as a base to where my characters passed though has to be a feature and not a bug.
That narrow line should be the route by which the carriage passed when they were escaping.
ăSo, this is the type of map that extends as the characters move and explore the map? In this kind of setting, there is always a character in charge of scouting the surroundings, but I already used my oracle for this dayă
Even if the character is clicked, itâs impossible to manipulate them and the only thing displayed is their settings.
I tried to speed up the time in the game, but I couldnât find anything like that.
ăCould it be that this game is a real-time game? Eh, after doing the oracle once a day I canât do anything more!? Wait wait wait, that canât be!ă
Are you serious? It doesnât make sense for such a game to be like this. Yes, itâs fun to see the personalities of the characters, but with just that you can not call this a game.
I started hitting all the keyboard keys with the hope that something would happen, but then letters appeared on the screen abruptly.
ăThere is one more thing you can do as the God of Fate. Use the Fate Points to exercise a number of miraclesă
Suddenly an explanation came out. But what are Fate Points?
ăWhat are Fate Points? You may be asking yourself that right now. Fate Points are linked to the fate of the villagersăźIn simple words, the more gratitude they feel, the more points you will receive. Please look at the numbers on the top right of the screenă
As they told me, I move my eyes to the top right of the screen, there there was a bible like a picture together with some numbers written on it.
ăThose are you Fate Points. The more residents feel gratitude the more points you will accumulate. As the number of inhabitants increases, the amount of points will inevitably increase. The more oracles you do for the benefit of the villagers, greater will be their feelings of gratitude and therefore greater the pointsă
In other words, the points that I will get will depend on the content of the oracle that I give.
Iâd better think seriously about the content of the oracle from now on. So I need to do something for them in order to create a feeling of gratitude?
ăThe things that can be activated by using the Fate Points will be here. The more the town flourishes and the number of villagers increases, the contents of miracles will be also upgraded, so please do your bestă
I was already starting to doubt whether this was a kusoge or not, but the story changes when such a system comes into play. Letâs check out the contents of the miracles.
ăWhat, I canât give them anything directly? ăA peddler arrivesăăA traveling doctor comesăăA hunter stop byăăRefugee villagers joinsăI see, Iâm the God of Fate so it is normal that I can manipulate the destiny of the people. Next is⌠Ooh, I can manipulate the weather a little too. This is so nice, at least something like a Godâs miracleă
The playability has increased!
The only Fate Points I have now are those of gratitude for having driven out the monsters with that dazzling light.
However, I donât know in what to use them since I have so few points.
Iâm not clear right now in what the villagers need. The only thing I can do is to eavesdrop and think about what to do from here on.
The men, Lodis and Gams, are silently cutting trees. They do not talk to each other so thereâs no conversation.
Lodis is making efforts to start a conversation but it is difficult given that the other party only respond with ăAahăăRightăăIs that so?ăthese three patterns.
These two are not helpful at all. Letâs see the women side?
ăLaila-san, how much food did you bring with you?ă
ăNot much since I was desperate to escape. I managed to carry three wooden boxed that were for sale, but if we ration them, it should last at least two weeksă
ăTwo weeks? It would good if we could secure a food supply by thenă
Important information was included in the middle of their conversation while they were plucking edible wild plants.
Securing food? Does that mean that if I choose ăA peddler arrivesăthey would be able to purchase food? But the question here is wherever they have money or not, and before that, they should secure fish and food from the mountains on their own.
I wish I could check how is the harvest around us.
ăShould I order Gams to examine the surroundings tomorrow? But I donât think itâs a good idea to separate the only one with capability to fight from everyoneâŚă
If I could gather information about the surroundings, it would be possible to be prepared for the danger in advance. But as long as I donât know how dangerous it is, it would be reckless to only send Gams to explore.
This a dilemma.
If Iâm going to complete this game then I should use the powerless girlăźCarol to expand the range of visibility.
But Iâm unable to discard a character who acts so humanely to the point that you would not believe it is an AI. They are doing the best to live.
I know that itâs stupid to think like that, but Iâm serious when I say that Iâd like to watch over them from now on.
It has not been more than three hours since I started this game but Iâve already begun to develop empathy towards these villagers who are overflowing with humanity.
ăI wonât be able to sleep in peace if I make them do something reckless and they end up being annihilatedă
Such excuses leave my mouth even though no one is listening to me.
Letâs think about the best way for them to survive. I should better check what kind of miracles can be activated with my Fate Points.
At present, the first choice is securing food. The second choice should be to gather the necessary tools and materials to make a house. As for the third choiceâŚ
ăWhat the heck is this?ă
At the bottom of the list, there was an item called âFamiliarâ.
Speaking of familiar in a fantasy world, it should be a magicianâs familiar. They can be used as eyes, limbs, deliver things and even gather informationâŚ
ăInformation gathering!ă
Right. If I choose this, then it will be possible to expand the visible range of the map!
If you think about it, itâs natural for a game to have such measures. The manufacturers are not a fool after all.
ăI hope I can contract someone with my current pointsă
When I click in the ăFamiliară item, a variety of familiars appears lined up.
There are many animals, but also many commonly seen names of monsters that appear in the fantasy genre.
ăIf itâs for scouting and expanding the map, then a bird, right? Its range of action is wide and itâs convenient for scoutingă
There are many kinds of birds, but the necessary points for the majority of them are high.
For now, the only kind of bird that I can make a contract is a chick.
ăWhen the chicken grows and begins to lay eggs, it can contribute to the table, but as for scouting, no matter how you see it, itâs not suited for ită
The standard should be going for cats or dogs, but I donât have enough points.
ăI wonder if there isnât any other way to earn points other than by gathering feelings of gratitudeă
As if it had responded to my muttering with perfect timing, words appeared on the screen again.
ăThere are other ways to increase your Fate Points. That is the billing system. Ten points will be added for every 1000 yenă
âŚA billing system!?
Hey wait a minute, you have implemented the worst system for a neet!
We are in an era where It is said that itâs difficult to find an online game without a billing system on the internet. Of course, there are such games, but why the hell has they incorporated such a system in an alpha test game!?

With my current points I can not contract a decent familiar, but if gather at least 2000 yen I should be able to collect enough points for a cat or a small dog. In addition to the familiars, if I had points I could make life easier for the villagers.
When I got up from the chair in which I was seated for a long time, I took out a bankbook from an accessory case that was placed on the side of the pc.
ăThe remaining money is about 10,000. If I sell all the books in the house and the games, I should be able to obtain a decent amount of money. And if place all the sweepstakes without scraping them on an online auction, thenâŚă
From that moment I continued to be troubled and time passed without me being able to make a decision.
ââI ignored the feelings of incongruity that I harbored towards the NPCs that acted like humans.
