God of Internet [LitRPG]

08 - First Step into the Mortal World

"All 30 students have already sent a part of their consciousness into the small world." A man in military uniform said as he opened his eyes.

This man was one of the school's directors, responsible for the safety of the students and for guarding the premises so that no evil god, or worse, demon, would try to harm the students.

"Well, now will be the ideal time to find out who really has the potential to be a powerful god." A woman in military fatigues said in a cold voice as she looked at the projection of a planet in the center of the room.

"First Sergeant Dillon, which of the students in this year's class do you think we should pay special attention to?" She asked a man Adrian would recognize as his class teacher.

"Ma'am, among the students with the greatest potential in the class, the most outstanding student is Zack Gale, the God of Thunder, he is already a rank 2 embryonic divinity and with a very powerful divinity, it is very likely that he will get one of, if not the best score in this exam." He said. "Another student to keep an eye on is Lucy Wavecrest, the Goddess of Waves, who has also shown extraordinary potential in class, but due to a lack of motivation, I can't put her above Zack Gale."

Hearing this, the woman nodded in satisfaction. "And the boy with full divinity?"

"Adrian Innovashine, the god of creativity. Unfortunately, he hasn't managed to get my attention on any of the occasions, always keeping a low profile and discreet, with a weak personality that's easily intimidated. I don't think he'll make it to the end of the exam..." The professor sighed.

Listening to his explanation, the three headmasters watching the projection of the planet also sighed.

If this entire deity were under my control..." was the thought of practically everyone in the room.

"All right, since the first day of exams is always the busiest day, I'm going to retire for now, if anything important happens, you can call me." The woman said as she gave everyone a military salute and left the room.

The other principals also looked at her with conflicted expressions, thinking that it was understandable that she wouldn't be happy after hearing Adrian's result, since she was the one who had invited him to the school.

- Adrian's POV -

Looking at the old man who had just woken up with the help of a girl my age, but who was still looking at me with his old sparkling eyes, I didn't quite know how to react for a few seconds.

If they were other gods from my school, they might have made a grand entrance and announced that they were not God's messengers, as the old man assumed, but the God these mortals needed.

But another thought occurred to me.

Wouldn't it be easier to relate to these mortals if, instead of using my identity as God, I blended in with them and just pretended to be God's messenger?

Having decided to act that way, I nodded and put a polite smile on my face.

"Yes, I'm the emissary of the God of the Internet, do you believe in our God?" I asked as I approached and held out my hand to help the old man up.

"God of the Internet...?" The old man asked confusedly, obviously having no idea who the God of the Internet was and what the deity of that God was.

This point was a very important decision I made.

If I presented myself as the God of Creativity, I knew that my divinity alone would be a big reason for mortals to see me in a strange light, since it didn't show any power.
