'Awesome! With the shop and the Promotion token, my plans will be realised much faster!', Kami thought, 'I need to act fast, I still don't know, why a priest of the Ambrosius Church is leading a group of thugs. What are their plans?

Kami began to plan his first steps.

He bought Blueprints of a little stone church and simple huts for 350 Guldens. Next, he bought the required resources for 150 Guldens. After that, he bought 1 golden robe for Esther and 6 energy condenser in the form of a crescent with sword piercing it vertical. Kami plans to use these condensers to store a portion of the Skill Lesser Healing in it. The older kids should use them to heal critical injured people to convert them into his followers.

After 10 minutes of planning, he explained the whole plan to Esther and she distributed the task.

...

"You will only heal the critical injured ones and bring the others back to me, where Kam- I mean God, will heal them. Focus on young male adults, we will need the manpower. Remember, each condenser only has 3 uses! Try to bring back as many as possible!" Esther commanded Aeden and 6 other kids, who are roughly the same age as him.

"Yes, Representative!"

That's right, after Kami got the Promotion token, he used it directly on Esther. He plans to use her as his eyes, mouth and ears. As a god he don't want to directly communicate with others to become more untouchable and more like an actual God. He doesn't want to be something physical and most of all reachable.

After the other kids left to gather as much new followers as possible, Esther asked:"So, why do we need so much manpower?

"First, I plan to make this hut my base of operation and I need to expand and repair it. Second, I want to build a little church in the courtyard to be worshipped. As a god a church is essential!" Kami answered

< In the heart of a desolate Slum area >

Aeden noticed three injured men huddled together in a dimly lit alley. They appear to be malnutritioned, wounded and in pain. Aeden rushes over to them, his eyes filled with concern.

Aeden kneeling down beside the men: "Are you alright? Let me help you."

One of the tree man spoke weakly: "We're beyond help, lad. Save your energy for someone else."

Aeden: "I may not had much in my life until very recently, but I obtained the power to heal from God himself!. Let me at least try."

Aeden closed his eyes, focusing his energy on the men's injuries. Soft white light emanates from silver crescent in his hands as he channels the healing abilities.

An other man spoke: "Boy, the Gods are not real. The Ambrosius Church for example

They just rob everything from you in the name of Salvation! They dont care about- What... what is this? I feel warmth spreading through my body."

The third man:"My pain... it's fading away."

Aeden continued to heal them, pouring his energy into their wounds. Slowly but surely, the men's injuries began to close, their bones were no longer visible trough their skin and their strength returned.

The first man who spoke: "By the spirits... I can't believe it. We're healed!"

Aeden:"I'm glad I could help. But there's more to this than just physical healing. You deserve a chance at a better life, away from these slums."

The man who lost faith in the gods : "What do you mean? We're stuck here. No one cares about us and old man P doesn't allow anyone to leave."

Aeden: "I care and my God cares for each of you. I believe that every person, no matter their circumstances, deserves a chance to rise above their struggles. I can offer you an opportunity to leave this place, to find purpose, hope and to regain your faith in the Gods, in my God!"

The third man spoke:"And what would we have to do in return?"

Aeden:"Join me. Help me bring healing and hope to others who suffer like we did. Together, we can make a difference, not just in our own lives, but in the lives of countless others. You will be members of our religion and bring faith of our God to everyone who is living on this planet!"

The first man spoke again:"We own you and your God our lifes. Count us in, lad!"

Aeden:"Thank you. I promise you won't regret this decision. Together, we will bring light to the darkest corners of this world!"

The same scene could be seen in every corner of the Slum and the notification bell kept ringing

As Kami witnessed the whole notifications appear before his eyes, his heart pumped with adrenaline.
