014 - Sentience
[A/N: One to two chapters a week now, your welcome!]
Two days passed and although I didn't make Black Marksman a guardian he did confirm a theory of mine.
Turns out when a player kills an organism I absorb the Divine Energy from their kill!
I found this out because I suddenly gained a notification!
[Player [Black Marksman] has slain a human x23!]
[You have gained 115 Divine Energy! (23x5)]
...That's right! 115 Divine Energy all at once!
I was absolutely shocked...
[A/N: Keep in mind the current 'MAP' the players are playing on only cost 100 Divine Energy to create the land which is a grand total of 200 Square Miles...Also, the reason why the villagers only cost 1 Divine Energy to create, think of them as empty husks, they have no intelligence and no strength or levels, but they are essential meaning they cannot be killed or harmed by the players]
With the Divine Energy, I gave the 32 villagers sentience which cost me 3 Divine Energy for each villager leaving me with 19 Divine Energy.
With the 19 Divine Energy, I began creating the foundations of the next area to the west of the Tutorial Village.
Time passed and soon all of the players will 'log' in.
...
[C.I. Delta-Ranked soldier, Michael Bigg's POV]
With an exhausted expression, I walked into the quarters and lazily laid on the bed.
From what I have learned soon we will raid an SCP Foundation Site named Site 47. It was located in a desert within Texas and had a few SCP's stored in the Site along with a little over 500 Personnel.
[A/N: If you haven't realized yet all the players and the MC is located within the state of Texas in the US]
Hopefully, nothing goes wrong...
I closed my eyes and entered Glory of the Gods.
Once I opened my eyes I found myself lying back in the game with Kyle waiting for me.
Kyle and I have just recently reached level 6 and were not that far behind the highest leveled player named Black Marksman.
But no matter what we did he was still ahead of us for some reason.
I mentally opened up my Status to see how much I have progressed.

\================/
I grew quite a bit and found that the most useful stat to level up is the INT stat since I need mana to use spells and the skill I got at level 5 called Meditation helps in recovering mana when we aren't fighting the slimes.
There has also been spotting of a Boss Slime in the forest now and we figured we could have a go at it and retreat if we couldn't handle it.
On our way out of the village, we were surprised that the usually robot-like villagers were conversing with each other like normal people!
What happened?!
We weren't the only ones surprised too, we looked around and found that the other players that were logging in had the same reactions!
We watched as a young male player walked up to an Old Villager and asked "Lovely weather we're having!"
To all of our surprise, the Old man turned to the player before smiling and saying "Sure is!"
