Title: apostle of chaos
That title has to be crazy good, especially considering the position of apostle is usually one of the highest possible in churches. Demetre thought to himself.
Deciding too look up where this Wharton forest is Demetre is shocked to find out that it's a location in real life.
No way I have to help this church in real life as well. That's going too far for a video game… eh whatever I need some fresh air anyways.
And with that simple decision, and just over and hour drive, Demetre found himself with his jaw to the ground. He saw what could only be described as the largest tree he had ever seen, no, heard of. The tree completely outclassed anything he had seen on the internet or during his travels competing in the SCA.
Walking up too the village of Wharton forest from the parking lot, two soldiers in all black with a logo he didn't recognize and red accents stopped him.
"Sorry sir but no access to the village currently due too the tree." One of the soldiers said in a no-nonsense tone
"I was actually told to come here for a quest… I know that sounds cra- huh," Demetre stopped mid sentence when the soldiers moved out of the way from his words
"Can I go?"
"Based on context you have given us, yes. Just go to the giant tree."
The same soldier responded.
Taking another twenty minutes to get too the huge tree, Demetre could immediately see signs of magic, something that shouldn't exist, around the tree. And after a few moments he even felt energized and strengthened.
Walking out from the entrance, that was down the stairs before him, Clay the god of the religion in-game appeared with a glowing humming bird perched on his finger.
"Ahh, hello there Demetre. While you where handling things back on Erebus, I found my way too your world somehow… now I'm kinda stuck here." Clay told Demetre the whole story while showing him around the temple.
"On a final note, I need you to maintain the temple for the day while I fix some stuff with the forest." Clay said and paused waiting for any kind of questions
"Sooo, your real, and you want me to defend this church." Demetre said as more of a statement then a question, still in disbelief.
"Yes, and yes. Oh and any food you need just ask any of the plants outside or in the second floor of the tower." Clay finished with before leaving in a hurry.
Clay quickly approached a body of water within the forest and dipped his hand in the water and released mana throughout he lake.
The diffused mana was quickly absorbed but most of the surrounding plants and even some animals lucky enough to have been drinking.
By the end of the week most of the forest, and even some surrounding areas, should have some kind of mana in them.
—9 days later—
Clay had repeatedly infused mana into multiple lakes and the hard work was paying off, the forests changes where making headlines and the general health of most people within New Jersey and even some of Philadelphia was recordedly 15% better then the rest of the year.
Demetre had been eating nothing but strawberries, and cooked squirrels his entire stay. For some reason squirrels died 6/10 time they came in contact with mana, but those that survived changed completely overnight not even being squirrels anymore in anything but shape.
Suddenly, like a ghost in a bathroom while you where pissing, the System apeared in real life before Demetre.

Pet hummingbird
A hummingbird egg apeared in Demetre hand scarring him even more. The egg shook for a second before cracking revealing a hummingbird with crystalline structured prismatic feathers and a beak resembling jade as white as ivory.
[name your pet evolved hummingbird]
After thinking for a second, Demetre arived on a name that he thought suited the cute creature "you shall be glint."
Glint hummed in response its feathers giving off a beautiful spectacle of refracting colors.
Demetre looked up after hearing his name.
"Demetre, I'm down with the forest, and while I'm not going to give you and official quest, as the first apostle of mine, and Nirins Religion I need you to atract more members. If the government gives you any trouble just use my name, in fact you can probably ask them for help as it's part of my deal with them."
Beaming with a smile, Demetre realized that he was going to be a part of something great, and responded with a "yes…" before realizing he didn't know what to call his god.
"You can just call me Clay, but make sure other followers call me god Clay, or Sir Clay, or somthing similar." Was all Clay said before walking too the back of the prayer room and took a nap on his throne.
And with that Demetre set off to not just talk in person with the People of New Jersey Wich where most affected, but he also planned to post on plenty of online forums about his experiences and how great Clay was.

Don't think I have ever written two chapters that fast.
If you don't fail along the path, the path was never worth it.
