It was a faithful day in the year 2015 when the hero now known as Djuki bothered his god Naturalia The Kind this much that she decided to send him to the wonderful world of Godville and out of the reach of his parents, who apparently exist as Djuki dreams about them.
14:05 I dreamed I was a young hero again, and heard my mother say, “You’d better get your act together, because someday you’re gonna have to test a fool proof plan!” Well, she always knew best.
Djuki was at first less than amused and tried to find a way back into heaven by getting killed by monsters. But his goddess did not want that and resurrected him every time. The one thing Naturalia wanted her hero to do was to build a temple out of gold. And so Djuki started his journey to find enough golden bricks for a temple to praise his goddess.
Two weeks after that Naturalia lost her interest in Djuki since the progress was only slow and his hero only worth a laugh. Djuki died and returned to heaven (or hell – he doesn’t want to talk about it) for one year out of the sight of his deity.
But then in May 2016 Naturalia thought about her last year and the funny diary entries he received from his hero at that time and she wondered what happened to Djuki. So she went out, only to find him in a tavern. The following events both of them don’t want to talk about, so it is up to your imagination, but the word “lightning” was mentioned. After that Djuki finally became the hero he was meant to be, collecting until now (23rd of October, 2016) six hundred golden bricks.
On his journey he found a wonderful companion in his talking donkey “Sooba”, which saved his life more often than you may think (quite often offending Djuki’s pride).
Upon reaching level 15, he joined the guild “Hug Central”, where he found friends and hugs. Now he is a cardinal and tries his best to be nice and give hugs.
Due to Naturalias changing mood, Djuki had many personalities in his life, which is proven by his diary:
01:14 Attended group therapy with the voices in my head. They all agreed I was disruptive and asked me to leave.
But that is no problem Naturalia can’t fix with a few lighting bolts.
It also became clear to Djuki that he would make a great scientist, if he would stop using his scientific methods to flee from monsters or get more alcohol:
13:39 Technically, I’m not running away from you. It’s called relativity — from my perspective, you are farther away, so you’re fleeing from me.
04:02 After lengthy mathematical calculations involving some dice and several beers, I have decided to get another drink.
After a wonderful time together the day came when there was no money and Sooba the talking donkey was heavily injured. He tried his best but to say it in his own words:
12:04 I didn’t manage to heal up my pet’s wound in time. Well, Sooba, your regenerating abilities will help you to recover, but I think level-ups and pantheons are not for you anymore. On the other hand, who needs those silly things anyway?
A few months later, it was a sad day when he set his long beloved pet free, but he knew it was the right decision to let Sooba explore the world and maybe find a new happy owner.
07:29 I heard that if you love someone, you should set them free. I released Sooba into the wild to pursue his hopes and dreams. Meanwhile, I’m off to pursue all my greatest ambitions, in the tavern.
Finally, after nine months of hard labour and carrying hundreds of golden bricks, Djuki made his goddess proud:
18:24 Dearest diary, today was the day! I carefully laid the last brick, swept all the rooms, opened all windows to let your glorious light shine in. I can’t believe it, your temple is finally finished, my Lord! I feel delirious with happiness.
Some day Djuki had one of his best deals with some merchant (whom he sadly couldn’t find again afterwards):
21:45 The merchant informed me that my priceless gift looked so good in bold that he’d pay me 13028 gold coins for it.
Although this showed how clever Djuki can be, he demonstrated endless times how stupid it is to get into a fight with the wrong Monster. Naturalia was not amused when she had to read diary entries like
00:43 That was a tough fight, but I finally overpowered my enemy, and stabbed him repeatedly to make sure he was dead. Then I left this little note in his diary to commemorate our epic battle. Sincerely, Continental Drifter.
and had to revive her hero again, since he obviously couldn’t estimate his own strength.
As he was sent many times into a dungeon, Djuki found many treasures and killed many monsters. One day he was on his way with a comrade as ambitious as him and together they found the greatest treasures they could think of:
23:50 Notes from the dungeon: The heroes plunder the treasure trove and divide the loot. Djuki gets
14723 gold coins,
a log for the ark,
a ticket to paradise,
a “Hero of the Day” award,
a portable photon generator,
the key to happiness,
a Tesla coil,
a hazardous minerals map,
a horsefeather,
a kernel of truth,
an eternal hope spring and
a strategy guide of life.
Skanku, Cameroniono and BoosterGolden left unconscious. Those who missed the plunder are given 14414 coins in total as a consolation prize.
After more than a year of looting dungeons, he finally got to finish his ark:
05:49 A log! A thousandth log! I’m even ready for a flood now. Not that I’m asking for it, Almighty.
Two years after that, the ark was filled with life and everyone humming with excitement:
04:58 Most Righteous One, I just re-counted the pairs and I think the ark now has a thousand of them. We’re not going to cram another thousand in there, are we?
A storm occured and lightning stroke
20:30 It’s alive… It’s alive, it’s moving, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, IT’S ALIVE!
30th of August 2021. THIS is it.
00:05 Wow, I’m in the newspaper. That’s news!
Djuki — 107th-level adventurer, member of the “Hug Central” guild, with the motto “Chaos always finds a way.”, stands at the 126th position in the pantheon of Taming under the vigilant supervision of the god Naturalia The Kind. His worst enemy — a Triplomat. Favorite trophy — something that looks like an unbridled passionfruit. He is also a huge fan of Next Station’s pubs.
15th of July 2023:
20:47 Wrote down the thousandth word into the holy book, took a deep breath and snapped my numb fingers. Hallelujah, Almighty, the great work is done!
17th of October 2024: After nearly a decade of working, there is finally retirement.
17:10 Oh my goddess, can’t believe that I saved all this money! Finally I can have my very own shop!
This is the short form of Djuki’s great Journey through the world of Godville and will be extended once he achieves something notable.
