Godville

Editor’s Note

What you are about to read are chronicles written not just by the god himself but his fellow slave hero as well. I hope the readers will have much fun reading the chronicles as I had while writing them. Thank you all.

Prologue: How it all started

It was just like any other fine day – bright, sunny and relatively windy. Searching through the android market place, I chanced upon this zero-player game called the godville. After reading through the description, I was fascinated to be able to become the so called ‘god’. Installed the application I did, and created a ‘god’ I had. The ‘god’ I created was named ‘God of Humanity’ for reasons I am too lazy to could not remember. When entered into the game, the world just unfolded itself, pixel by pixel and I found myself in an open lush green field.

Chapter 1: A whole new world

With such an open field, it was indeed an amazing sight. Slowing and unknowingly, I floated into the air. That’s right, I am a god in this world. I can do whatever I want! Explored the world I did, block by block, pixel by pixel. However much fun I had in these adventurous flights, it was soon time for me to have a place I called home. Whipped out the creative menu I did, selected a few blocks * COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT *. Oops, alright alright, with a flick of my staff, a sky palace magically appeared. It’s so cool to have such powers. I flew around inside the newly ‘built’ palace and in the seemingly magical room, I found a magical crystal sphere. When I looked into the sphere, images appeared in it, images that depicted villages, peasants, soldiers and many more. This, I thought, would be all too interesting…

Chapter 2: The Hero was born

Few days later, after I have settled in the palace, I toyed around with the crystal sphere. I always wanted to feel how it was like having a hero worshipping you. And now, I may be able to know how this feeling was. In the sphere, an image of a baby showed up. A fine young lad he will be. I watched him grew through the sphere. Strong and courageous he was indeed. At the age of two, he was able to hold a butter knife and swing like a swordsman; at the age of six, he was alreadying swinging a metal dagger; and at the age of twelve, he was holding a real metal sword. That was just the perfect candidate to be my hero. However, there was no such thing as perfect in humanity. Given his great agility and strength, he had very low intelligence. That may be a problem but he can be trained to be smarter, can’t he?

Chapter 3: The meeting

On the boy’s eighteenth birthday, I flew down from the palace and met him. He was surprised by my flying ability and even more surprised when I told him I am a god. After a few rounds of conversation, he was finally convinced. In an envelope that I passed to him for his eighteenth birthday present, it contained a letter. It read:

Dear young lad, congratulation for becoming eighteen years old. I have been watching you ever since you came into this world and a great young man you had been. From today onwards, you will embark on a epic journey as a hero, one who has courage and strength, to travel around the world in search for golden bricks for a temple that you have to build. In addition to that, you will be known as Knight of One, a name bestowed upon you for your great sword skill. Go forth and accomplish what you are destined to do and may the force be with you.

Chapter 4: First Death

Just like any other fine days, I was just doing my usual duties – ensuring the safety of humans, looking through the crystal sphere for any interesting stuffs blah blah blah (You get the point) when I received a message from the death god stating how long was I going to leave my hero alone in the underworld because he did not have the luxury of time to baby sit Knight of One the whole day. I was rather taken back by the message but then I did realise my hero was gone for a couple of hours. With haste, I flew to the underworld, thank the death god for “babysiting my hero”, pick Knight of One up and with my divine power, resurrected him. He gave me the stare and screamed at me,“What took you so long?!”. I smiled at him and replied,“Well, it could be worse.” And he immediately zipped his mouth.

Chapter 5: First pet followed by a second and then a third

I was checking up Knight of One’s diary secretly when he wrote, Dear almighty, I just got myself a pet! It is a Firefox! I have named him Sven! Awww, look at how cute he is! I chuckled. How was he going to take care of a pet when all he ever did was to laze around and get drunk? This would be interesting.

Few days later, I received another message from the death god stating that my hero was at the underworld again. Sigh… I went down again and resurrected him. Knight of One broke down and cried that Sven had died and he did not have enough gold coins to resurrect it, therefore had taken his own life as well. That is what you get for drinking and lazing all day! Have you learnt your lesson? He nodded. What are you going to do now? He pointed to the tarven and said to get even more drunk in memory of Sven. Well, somethings never change do they?

A week later, Knight of One wrote in his diary that he found another new pet. Its name was Stubby and like Sven, it was a Firefox. Well… the cycle repeated itself and Stubby had joined Sven somewhere far far away. I really got to kick the bad habit out of Knight of One, literally, before someone reports him for “Pet Abuse”!

Two weeks since Stubby’s departure, Knight of One got himself a new pet. This time, it was a heffalump named Dogmeat. Personally, I had no clue why Knight of One would choose such a weird pet name but oh well, it was his choice. Luckily for this heffalump, Knight of One did learnt his mistakes from the past two encounters but at times he still commited them and that were when the weather forecasters forecasted the presence of thunderstorms. Until now, there had only been one case Dogmeat being knocked out but it was eventually resurrected by Knight of One under my watchful eyes. If there were anymore updates, I will write them down, until then, all was happy for the two of them right now.

Chapter 6: Guilds

Antisocial Socialites, hmm… Oh, pardon me. I was just wondering about what kind of guild this Antisocial Socialites was. Knight of One enrolled himself into this specific guild and I wondered why. He was indeed an introvert, but at times an extrovert as well. Well, I did read about this guild in the book Godville Encyclopedia and apparently the guild consisted of heroes and heroines who usually went to tarvens and sat at tables of two or three at most in complete silence with glasses of water. The Godville Encyclopedia also stated that the guild’s influence of power can be seen through the guildmates who were always unwelcomed yet welcomed by the town folks…. Well, there was no harm enrolling in a guild right?

Hmm, strange… This is so strange!! Their behaviours do not reflect what normal human should behave! Oh, where are my manners. I had gotten close up examinations of how the guildmates behaved and I must say, it is indeed strange. All they ever did were to stare at each other! Was that how they bond? How did they even communicate? I should examine them more closely…

Alright, I had decided, their behaviours had defied all my knowledge on people’s behaviour! Seeing how my hero had turned into a full-fledge Antisocial Socialites member, I feared for the worst. Flipping through the Godville Encyclopedia, I came across this guild named Blue Feather. The description stated that it was a true brightness guild with core values of Kindness, Loyalty, Friendship and Honor. Hmm, this would be a good guild for Knight of One Immediately I sent messages to Knight of One through telepathy. Normally this would be an easy task but given the complexity within a hero’s brain, this might take hours to send just a single word. In the end, he did received the message and had enrolled into Blue Feather guild.

Knight of One had stayed in this guild for a while now and had met a few friends. Through this guild, I had also met other gods and goddesses. They were all very friendly and nice and I really did enjoyed the stay there. There were parties in the Guild Hall, breakfast, snacks, cakes, drinks…chattering chattering chattering…. The best part was they even celebrated my hero’s temple completion! Okay, the completion of my hero’s temple was supposed to be a secret at this point in time which I would write more about it in later chapters…

Chapter 7: The Gods and the Goddesses

Ever since I came into this magnificent world, I had met a few gods and goddesses whom I am proud to call them friends. Hold on, let me get my list… Alright, here goes:

The One Before,

Ragex0n,

Moofus,

Zenosdog,

Jese,

Balthasalazar,

Tandeer,

Ycarion,

Benevolent Scroats,

Pyron Sy,

Supa Jeff,

Lestasia,

Megeara,

Justday,

Otto Mobile,

Amanda83,

Hipnotoad,

Devwoman18,

Vinisha,

Artsonian,

Chimeralite,

God of Goodness,

Davii,

DasBamf,

Jensc,

Sniper404,

Betrayed Beauty,

Firegod369,

Diablowoman,

Erona,

They are the greatest bunch of gods and goddesses I have ever met. We party regularly and without fail, always get ourselves drunk in the process. They are very reliable and helpful as well. All the information and tips that they have given helped me to have more control over godville take very good care of godville. Well, it seems like there is another round of party coming up, I will get back as soon as possible.

Chapter 8: Temple Completion

Never would I thought that that party was to celebrate my hero’s temple completion! Yup, you heard me, my beloved Knight of One had finally finished the temple that I asked for. Well, it took him just over a year to finish it and that was faster than I thought. Below was a segment from his personal diary which he had written just after putting in the last golden brick.

I carefully placed the last brick, swept all the rooms, opened all doors, and cut the ribbon in a stately manner with my sword. I can’t believe it’s finally happened! After all these months of work, the temple in your name is finished, my Lord! I feel crazy with happiness that I have finally accomplished the golden temple!

Well, after all he had done, he did deserve a break from all these questings. He would be free, for a while, and would be able to do whatever he wanted until I call him back.

Well, that would be the end of a short story, of how me and my hero came about and how he was freed after the temple completion. Life after that was rather less adventurous for me but not for my hero. I would now let my hero share his story, his experiences, his encounters and his adventures. Well, it was called a hero’s Chronicles for a reason isn’t it?

_{The End}

The Chronicles of Narnia Knight of One

Prologue: How I came about

Well, I am not really that sure how I came into this world but I was told by my mother that I was a gift sent from the heaven… Does this meant that I was dropped from the sky? Oh well, never mind. Anyway, my name is Jason and I aspire to become a great swordsman. I am currently ten years old and I have been practicing diligently with a rusty dagger in the arts of slashing and poking stabbing. I have to admit that it is indeed very tiring but I often hear people saying that with hardwork and perserverance, dreams will automatically come flying at you. I hope mine will fly to me soon.

Chapter 1: The flying dream

When I turned eighteen years old, I was greeted by this ‘man’. He came flying down towards me and told me he was a god and that I was chosen to be his hero. He passed me an envelope which contained a letter stating I had to build him a temple out of golden bricks and that I shall be known as Knight of One from now forth. I was superbly happy that I was chosen to be a hero, a role which held greater respect that a swordsman. Now I truely understand what people meant that with hardwork and perserverance, dreams will come flying to you. The next morning, I geared up, bidded farewell to my parents and set out on this epic journey. I wonder what is installed for me in this journey.

[Current status: Editing not yet completed]

October 2011 Dear diary, Seriously, what is wrong with all these days lately!? Ever since that ‘dream’, there have been weird encounters lately! Lightnings have strucked on me more times than I can ever remember! Then, there are these phenomenoms where bushes suddenly shoot up, where clouds begin to form sentences and where billboards are appearing everywhere that read “Hurry up and do what I told you to do! Signing off, God of Humanity”. Talk about targetted advertising… Anyway, I think I should really get this over and done with. All these weird signs are creeeepy…

November 2011 Dear diary, I begin to think that nothing can surprise me anymore. All these weird but fascinating phenomenoms are very entertaining, yet at times, painful… Anyway, I have enrolled myself into a guild! It is called Antisocial Socialites. Yeah, at times I can be a bit introvert but who cares!? There are people like me in this guild! We had fun staring at each other and… yea… just staring at each other. That is how we bond. I will pen down more things later, the other guildmates are staring at me. It is my turn to stare back at them now.

December 2011 Dear diary, Nothing to talk about lately, these few days are all about me fighting monsters, drinking beers, wasting coins and collecting golden bricks. However, I do want to talk about this festival called “Christmas”. I have been hearing a lot lately that during this Christmas Day, there will be this man riding or rather flying around in his sledge pulled by reindeers. The magical thing about this is there will be a lot of presents given out by this man. All I have to do is to write a wish-list and pray hard that it will be granted! Hehehe, that sounded too easy. The only wish that I want is to have this temple completed as fast as possible so I can go back to my ‘normal’ life! Please please please may my wish come true!!!

December 2011 (Part II) Dear diary, I don’t think my wish will be granted anymore…. Yesterday, I met a few goblins in the forest and they offered me a piece of freshly killed reindeer meat. I happily accepted the offer and continued into the forest where I met this plump looking man shouting ‘Rudolph’ continuosly. I happily offered him the meat that I have gotten from the goblins and told him to cheer up. When he saw the meat, he angrily knocked me to the ground, said I am now on the no present list, turned around and went off crying. Thinking about it now, I think that is the man whom people called “Santa Claus”. I am in deep trouble aren’t I?

December 2011 (Part III) Dear diary, Recently there has been report of a man who dressed like Santa Claus going around slashing people, seeking for revenge. The citizens of Godville have named this person “Santa Claws”. I seriously hope that this incident was not started because of me. And even if it was started by me… nah, it wasn’t me who started right? Finger-crossed…

The friends and the Guilds

Along the journey he had gained a few friends and has enrolled himself into guilds. Below are his friends’ Gods and Goddesses and guilds which he had gained in this epic journey:

The One Before, Ragex0n, Moofus, Zenosdog, Jese, Balthasalazar, Tandeer, Ycarion, Benevolent Scroats, Pyron Sy, Supa Jeff, Lestasia, Tank Hollywood, Grubby, Reglyn, Destiny Avoided, IRenegade, Corran, Megeara, Justday, Otto Mobile, Amanda83, Hipnotoad, Devwoman18, Vinisha, Artsonian, WEKM, Alzeersmaster, SBFH, Chimeralite, God of Goodness, Davii, DasBamf, Jensc, Sniper404, Betrayed Beauty, Firegod369,

The first guild he enrolled himself in was the Antisocial Socialites. As the name suggests, it was a guild where members who hate to socialise get together. He manage to reach the rank of cardinal and this is where I think it is enough. He should be in a guild where members socialise and perform good deeds together. Searching through the list of guilds I have gotten from the Godville Department of Guilds, I saw this guild Blue Feather. “This would be interesting”, I thought. With a micro-phone plugged into the 100 feet by 100 feet speaker, I shouted down to him, " Join Blue Feather guild!" And he did (He was almost deaf too, so were most of the Godville citizens). He had stayed in this guild for a while now and had met a few friends. I can see that he enjoy this guild which goes the same for me. The gods and goddesses in this guild are very friendly and caring too. If ever anyone is considering a guild to join, please do consider Blue Feather.

September 2012 Dear diary, Did you miss me? I have not been writing for the pass many many months because I misplaced you I have kept you in a very secure place while I was out collecting golden bricks for God of Humanity. Wait a second, who wrote in my diary again!? Anyway, I was given a ‘message’ by the almighty to join the Blue Feather guild. At first, it sounded like a guild where everyone were insane over blue-colored feathers. However, it was a guild where everyone was lovely and friendly. I have met a lot of friends lately. Hold on, I will try listing them down. I have met De Strike-land (Lovely person with huge amount of strength), Valenz (A person with much valor), Frou Loins (Very friendly person and very rich), Zenosdog (Very mystical person…), Diosa Odefierous (A great person with great personality), Grinn Widely (A very cheerful and happy person), Squeakinator (Squeak! Squeak!), Calypsoer (Very mystical yet very open), Alucard The Impaler (A very scary person, might not want to mess with him), Sy of the Pyres (Very friendly person and very forgetful as well), Chauncey Wordsworth (A gentle person that makes every words worth hearing), Astriala (Kind and very forgiving person), Bullet Paradise (Visited his home, it was filled with many small metallic objects), Grubbulon (Very friendly, caring yet sometimes a bit grubby), Satori65 (One of my few friends with numbers in their names), Fait (A great person who believes in fate), PinkFloyd (Very manly person who likes pink), Serraphina (Very heartwarming person and very helpful too), Ryba (A bright person, had to wear sunglasses when talking to her), Goldcat (Another superbly bright person, had to wear THREE layers of sunglasses when talking to her), Stretch Armstrong (Very muscular with very flexible arms), Adelia (Nice, friendly, dependable and caring person), Lodiah (Very dependable and very responsible), Goddess Of Light (Very magical and brighter than light, had to close my eyes and wear TEN layers of sunglasses when speaking to her), Tani (Young, fine person who is quite tanned), Fyrdung (My drinking mate), Tolidess (Very focused and friendly person), Alzeers (The dude who make mircales), Gruyere1 (Another friend with number in the name who makes miracle seems so common), Rechory (Very dependable and nice lady), Kind soul (The kindess yet most evil soul I have ever met), DaviiJones (Argghh! The pirate who is eager to spar), Endymiom (Another drinking mate), Anabella Alise (Kind and friend lady), Dinoking369 (Another friend with numbers in his name who went through the Jurassic era), Bulletforyourblood (Superbly scary and my first sparring partner)

They have accompanied me in this great adventure, through pain and beer, well… mostly beer and I’m always the one paying the bill…, and through thick and thicker. Time to go now, my drinking mates are waiting for me. This time I will have them pay the bill… Hehehehe.

Temple Completion

12 October 2012 One year and one month since the epic journey, my hero has finally completed the temple. Now time for all the fools followers to worship me! Muahahaha!! Hmm, what should I do with Knight of One now… I really want him to build me another hundred or so temples with maybe diamond blocks? That will be AWESOME! But seeing how he took roughly a year to build one temple…. Forget it, this will take too long. Until I come up with a new method to torture him and make him do my bidding adventure, I think I will let him do what he wants… for now… Muahahaha!!

October 2012 Dear diary, Seriously!? Who kept on writing in my diary? Anyway, I carefully placed the last brick, swept all the rooms, opened all doors, and cut the ribbon in a stately manner with my sword. I can’t believe it’s finally happened! After all these months of work, the temple in your name is finished, my Lord! I feel crazy with happiness thatI have finally accomplished the golden temple! It was superbly bright and shiny! Also, I have set up a stall selling sunglasses in front of my temple! It is making good money! After all these hardwork, I think I shall retire from all these adventures but I need money to enjoy life after i retire. This calls for another epic adventure! An adventure to save money, I’ll say 30 million worth of money! Let the adventure begins!!!

October 2012 (Part II) Dear diary, I kind of regret saving up for retirement. I miss all the fun that I had in the tarvens and all the date-nights with the girls whom I cannot remember their names. Well, at least I have Dogmeat to accompany me through these boring times… Dogmeat… I really wonder why I name him Dogmeat… Nevermind about that. I noticed I never did mention about my pets do I? Well, Dogmeat is currently my third pet. He belongs to a species known as “heffalump”. He does not have any ‘fixed’ shape nor any ‘fixed’ color. Due to this, most people find heffalumps creepy but this is where their advantage lies in. My pet can ‘transform’ into any shape that I want, ranging from an ordinary sword to a fire-breathing dragon! I do have a lot of fun with Dogmeat but I do miss my first two pets. Both belong to a species known as “firefox”. They are cute and fluffy but they are sure ‘hot’. I never need my winter clothing when I travelled with them, and I also need to bring gallons of water to resupply myself all the time. You may ask where are they now, the only thing I know is that they are somewhere free…

October 2012 (Part III) Dear diary, I begin to notice more and more people calling themselves heroes or heroines who collect golden bricks to build temples too. How many heroes or heroines have God of Humanity recruited? I thought I am the only one! Anyway, I shall set up some security measures in my own temple before someone stole my hard-earned golden bricks! Now, what should I have as my security measures? Hmm… Siege towers? Nah… Thousands of soldiers? Nope… Ahh… I should enlist the help from the Secret Service! Wait, do they even exist here? Sigh, it is so troublesome to set up security measures to protect a 5m by 5m by 3m temple… I think lets just forget about the security measures. I alone will be enough to deal with those puny threats! Muahahaha!
