The following moment, I felt rather confused at my own understanding.
'Another' fragment of divinity...?
That is to say, I already had one?
[You have obtained a fragment of divinity.]
[You have obtained the 'Fragment of earthen Divinity'.]
I felt a peculiar sensation on my right cheek, like I was being lightly tickled, and a similar sensation on the index finger of my left hand.
[You have gained the skill [Fragment of Gnome's Earth].]
[[Fragment of Gnome's Earth]: You possess a fragment of the godly power of Goddess of Earth, Gnome. With just a speck of her power, the earth will bend according to your will, and the forests will obey your words. As you are incomplete as a god, it will have no effect on any plant-like beings with self-awareness, and if you attempt to use it in a malevolent manner against such beings, directly or otherwise, they will resent you for it. You may use this power only a limited amount of times each day or risk breaking your mind, dependent on your count of believers.]
[As you have gained a new fragment of divinity, the fragment of divinity you possess has started to awaken.]
My face must've looked dumbfounded as I attempted to process the message.
[The skill [Fragment of Divinity] has transformed into the skill [Fragment of Entropy's z%▯].]
I couldn't even imagine my own expression, and judging from Lady Entropy's eyes and ears, she heard the message too. Even Lady Gnome was looking at her, baffled.
[[Fragment of Entropy's z%▯]: You possess a fragment of the godly power of the Goddess of the ███████████████, Entropy. With just a speck of her power, the z%▯ will ⬜89Q& according to ♕▲. This fragment of divinity is not yet completely awakened.]
I shot an odd glance in Lady Entropy's direction.
She stared back, focus unmoving from me.
After staring like such without a word for several seconds, I eventually decided to break the silence.
"... I had no idea I possessed a fragment of your divinity, Lady Entropy", I said.
"... I can't, say, it's different, for me", she said.
"Then, the mysteries are deepening, I suppose", I said.
"... Nn, that's, true. I, have no idea, how, you would've, gotten that."
"There is also one more thing I'm curious about...", I said, prompting Lady Entropy to tilt her head. "The title of the skill, and its description as well... why are they like this?"
"I..." Lady Entropy seemed to hesitate, almost as if considering her options. "... I couldn't, tell you."
I found her wording a little odd, but decided not to say anything.
A few seconds later, Lady Entropy pulled an elaborate hand mirror from somewhere on her person--I couldn't have told you where--and handed it to me without a word.
Understanding the hint, I took the mirror and used it to look at my reflection in the place I had felt the odd sensation earlier, and saw that there was an odd, brown symbol on my right cheek. Having become curious, I checked my left index finger and discovered that a ring had appeared--it was a golden ring with a brown gemstone, not overly decorated like a certain someone's accessories had been.
"How is it? It looks great, right?!", Lady Gnome asked, her expression full of expectations.
"Do they serve a practical purpose?", I asked, deciding not to give a direct answer for fear of creating unnecessary feelings of jealousy.
