When Drake woke up, he sat down in the bed. The child he had brought outside was also here, floating about. She had slowly grown in size to almost the size of an apple from the small pearl size she had previously. She flew around, looking at everywhere happily. Drake couldn't help but smile as he saw her enjoy herself a little bit.
"Don't fly too far away, you're still technically a baby, okay?" he said, as the little orb barely heard him, flying around playfully, touching and sensing everything.
Drake wanted to stand up and accompany her. She was still a baby so he was very worried about her or what might happen to her if she does something reckless and might end up hurting herself. Yeah, the System said she was a Divine Spirit, but Drake was already an experienced father with the little Benladra, he knew that even children bestowed with divine powers could hurt themselves.
However, before he could even move, several System windows showed up, which only made him sadder as he remembered her and her last words.
"I've always loved you…"
Her words resonated through Drake's mind as he gritted his teeth and washed his face with a Water Spirit Stone, quickly deciding to keep moving forward. He looked into the system messages quickly after, finding many new things.
Ding!
[The System has been successfully restructured]
[The Unique Skill [System] has evolved into Unique Skill [Divine System]!]
[The Unique Skill [God] has been fully unsealed]
[All Skills and Stats have been sacrificed for the creation of the new System]
[Magic and other Physical Abilities have been kept and absorbed into the Host's body and soul for easier usage and combination with Divine Power]
[All Mana Cores had been merged into a single [Divine Core (Rank 7)]
[All Stats have been merged into [Divine Power]
[You may spend [Divine Power] to acquire Divinities and new powers, or create Miracles]
[You can gain [Divine Power] in a variety of ways, for this, please visit the [How to be a God 101] Manual that has spawned within your Soul through the powers of [Fafnir's Divine Protection]
[The [Divinity: Divine Flames] is your only Divinity, however, as it is not compatible with your main Mana Core, it is recommended to quickly acquire a fitting Divinity through Divine Power]
Drake opened his eyes wide open as he saw all the messages from the System, his intrigue grew deeper at each passing second as he saw all the new things he had acquired. Apparently he had lost all his Stats, but he felt no weaker than before. It seems that such numerical numbers had grown to such ridiculous quantities that there was no point in showcasing them, and everything was better simplified through [Divine Power].
Also, all his Mana Cores merged into a single Divine Mana Core of Rank 7. Additionally, he had to get a new "fitting" divinity quickly somehow for his Divine Mana Core, as the only one he had was not compatible with it as a "base divinity" and it could be said it was more of an "auxiliary divinity".
And lastly… there was something quite weird. Apparently the Divine Protection of Fafnir was still there and it had unlocked something strange, a "manual" had appeared within his soul, which he could freely read at any moment, and it was, funnily enough, named [How to be a God 101]… Drake couldn't help but begin to think that Fafnir might be a strange Dragon… Wait, wasn't he an original Dragon God though? Drake quickly realized that his connection to him might mean way more now that he had also attained the level of a God, although he was currently within the weakest Gods out there.
"Erm… Maybe I should check out my Status really quick…" He thought, quickly putting his mind into checking his own Status. What he saw was rather… minimalistic.

"W-what the heck is this?" He asked in disbelief. "My Skills… they are really all gone? And my Stats are all weird and minimalistic now… Huh. Divine Power is… I can spend this? Even though it is my power as a god? then if I spend it, wouldn't I be growing weaker? I guess you gotta use some of your power to get results at the end… And then there are Stats but they're qualified by Letter Ranks? And… Magical Affinities are there, but they got weird Ranks as well. I guess my Ice is at SSS, I guess it is the strongest affinity I got…. EH?! My Cooking Magic Affinity is only D?! I have to quickly do something about it!" Drake thought to himself, rambling inside of his own head about the many things he had to now think and take into consideration.
It seems that the System was oversimplified now, perhaps because a God's power couldn't be easily comprehended even through game-like mechanics, and maybe to also not eat up so much word count if this were a novel, but that wasn't the case. Drake quickly began to think about a few things inside of his mind. His Physical Strength, Magical Power, and Dexterity and Agility were awfully low… Was he so pathetic as a God? Perhaps such stats compared to mortals were godly, but compared to his godly peers, he might perhaps be quite weak.
…Except his Fortune, a new stat that couldn't be easily compared to the others. He was… A+ in Fortune. He indeed held the almighty plot armor, it seemed. Or so he thought within the ramblings of his mind.
