Temple of Aether.

Rev decided that it was finally time to leave the world of Aincrad to begin his journey.

[Hey, I think you can use them in the meantime to gain a foothold in this world.]

'Hmm. You're right about that.'

All-Seer pointed out something really important this time, something that had also been on his mind.

Rev thought for a moment before deciding to speak again: "Listen, I have some work for both of you in the time that I will be gone."

"Please do tell. We are all yours."

"I will be leaving some cultivation techniques and materials for the church. Use them to prepare a force of 100–200 members whom you can absolutely trust.

They will be the core of our campaign against the New Gods. I know your situation is dire, and you don't have many members, but the ones that are still here should really be loyal to you guys."

Indeed! There were about 180 or so members in their church now, but all of them were absolutely loyal to the cause.

"I am not asking to increase members or anything right now because you may get under the radar of the gods if we do that. Just make them elites before I come back. That is all. It's simple, right?"

"Well, we understand, but how will you get us the resources?

I mean, you are in your [Astral Form] right now, and with the restrictions right now, you shouldn't be able to right things from that world here." Aletta asked.

"Don't worry about that. I will arrange that. So tell me, can you guys do it?"

"Sure. If that's what you wish."

"Good. So here's the plan for the path of development…"

With that, Rev discussed his plans and directions for the development of the group.

Finally, as he completed his plans, both Malinda and Aletta were left speechless in amazement.

"This… If this succeeds, then we can really turn our situation around." Malinda couldn't help but say it out loud in excitement.

For generations, their church had been dying, but with this idea, they could surely make a comeback without totally relying on Rev.

"Indeed, that will really be good news for the church. But, Rev, we can't do that with our name."

"Yup! You can't, and that brings me to the final part of the plan, which is the new name for the church."

"I see. So, that's it. It is finally time to say goodbye to the Church of Laplace, huh?" Malinda responded with a rueful smile.

She couldn't help but feel a bit complicated; after all, that name contained their history and their legacy.

Their journey, filled with both happy and sad memories, was contained in that name.

Ignoring Malinda's thoughts, Aletta said with conviction, "Dear, since you have paved the way for our resurgence, it would be fair that you also name us."

"The name… huh. Let's think about it.

It shall be… Temple of Aether!"

-----

After everything was set in stone, the ladies dressed up and left the room to start preparing for the plan.

Meanwhile, Rev checked the number of points that he had gathered until now.

[Points: 38700]

'Good thing I didn't use them at all except for the Body Cleansing Pill and Perfect Foundation Trait. Well, then, open the shop.'

[Opening shop.]

[Categories…]

'Buy all the Alchemical Products that can be helpful until Mana Master Realm and the adjacent realms for Soul and Qi. Make sure only 20000 points are used.'

[Command accepted.]

[Purchasing Alchemical Products.]

[Purchase completed. All items have been placed on the inventory.]

[Points: 38700 >>> -20000 >>> 18700]

'Buy a Mana Art, a Soul Art and a Qi Art excelling in energy manipulation. Also a Combined Art with the same anchor.'

[Purchasing Arts.]

[Purchase completed. All items have been placed on the inventory.]

[Points: 18700 >>> -12000 >>> 6700]

'Alright, buy 3 Techniques complementing the energy manipulation aspect along with fighting.'

[Purchasing Techniques.]

[Purchase completed. All items have been placed on the inventory.]

[Points: 6700 >>> -6380 >>> 320]

'Phew! I thought I would not have enough points, but it seems I got lucky.' Rev mused for a second before getting up and leaving the room.

He met with Aletta and Malinda before handing them all the materials and saying, "You two use the separate Arts for each branch and give the Combined Art to the others.

You can share the Techniques with everyone. Remember, only give resources to the ones who are 100% trustworthy."

"Do not worry. We understand. We will make sure the resources are not wasted."

"Good then. It is finally timee for me to leave." Rev said before embracing the beauties and pecking their lips once.

"We await your return, dear."

"I will be back soon. Bye!"

Rev waved his hands before logging out and vanishing from the spot.

-----

Back to the real world.

Rev opened his and put off the Nerve-Gear, then he checked the time. It was 7:52 PM. The sky had darkened, and the night was near.

Now he was sure that the Aincrad's time was roughly four times quicker than the real world's.

'Asako will be home soon. Let me make the dinner.'

Rev decided to make dinner before Asako came home. He also needed to discuss his departure tomorrow with her.

Soon the dinner was ready as Asako also arrived home. Seeing her back, Rev hugged her and kissed her lips before saying, "Wash up, I have made the dinner."

"Alrighty~"

About 20 minutes later, Asako came out of the bathroom while Rev readied the table with the food.

"Come, let's eat."

Rev invited Asako, and they both began their dinner.

"So what do you want to talk about?" In the midst of the dinner, Asako asked.

"Oh, you realised?"

"Of course I would, dear. Usually you bathe with me unless you are in the midst of thinking about something. So what is it?"

"You see…"

Rev began explaining his findings about Aincrad and divinity and how he was now en route to becoming some sort of partial god.

Hearing him, Asako was surprised, and she asked, "You realise that our world hates gods? Don't you?"

"Yup, that I know."

"So why?"

"Because I'm not going to become a god, to be exact. I won't need faith from people to survive. So that shouldn't be a problem."

"I see, but how?"

After that, Rev began explaining his plans with the divinity, and this time Asako was not surprised but shocked!

She contemplated Rev's plan and realised how marvellous and ingenious it was.

"It will also provide us with a solid grip on power. I mean, we could even play with the big powers with this."

Asako, as an ambitious woman, realised that if they could accomplish even 20–30% of Rev's plan, they would have a firm foothold in this world.

Putting those matters aside for now, she asked, "So when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"And how sure are you that you will not be in danger?"

"Well, I can just use the [Divine Fragment] and come back if it's too dangerous."

"Finally, for how much time will you be gone?"

"Depending on how far the world will be, it could be anywhere between a day and a month. I won't be going to a world that is near us, as it would be really dangerous to me right now."

"I see. I guess I can't stop you then."

With that, they ended their discussion and completed their dinner in peace.

After doing the dishes together, Asako pulled Rev's hand and took him to the bedroom.

She threw him to the bed before removing every piece of cloth in her body and jumped on him, saying, "Since I dunno when you will be coming back. Let me enjoy you tonight."

She lifted his cock before taking it into her already slippery pussy in cowgirl position as the night continued…

-----

The next day.

They both had their breakfast silently.

"Be careful on your journey. I won't say anything else." After completing their breakfast, Asako spoke softly.

She knew better than anyone else how fearful of death Rev was. So she knew he wouldn't take any chances with his life and wouldn't do anything that would harm them.

"Don't worry, my love. I will be fine. Just take care of yourself, and that's all that matters to me." Rev said before taking her lips for his.

"Alright bye. I will be back soon."

He then activated the [Divine Factor] and focused on it. The space around him started churning and glowing in deep blue and black.

Finally, after a few seconds,

He vanished!

It was time to find the first fragment…

Author's Note:

>> End of Volume 1: Reincarnated in a Chaotic World!

>> Poll.

How would you like the story to progress in the Jobless Reincarnation (JR) World?

1. Slow and detailed. (Will focus extremely on the story and slow down the pace. Not recommended.)

2. Moderately fast and moderately detailed. (Will not delve into the light novel story in details. Balance of sex and story. Recommended.)

3. Swiftly paced, aka only fuckary and not story. (Will skip most of the story and only focus on sex. Not recommended.)

Use paragraph comments to convey.

>> Check out my other work. I am sure you will definitely like it very much.
