God of Tricksters-Novel



Once the Hard Rock Turtle died, he could see that he had leveled up a few times.

The original Theo couldn't help but float next to his real body. He gently scratched the back of his head, wondering what he should do. "Right… I should get back to my real body. But what should I do right now? Sir God of Mischief… Do you have any instructions?"

There were no words from the God of Mischief. After a moment, the original Theo couldn't help but touch his real body. "Maybe I should just enter this body… After all, this is my body…"

Once he aligned himself with his body, the original Theo was stunned once again because nothing had happened. His body moved on its own as if the owner of this body had changed.

"Huh? What is happening to my body right now? Why can't I go back to my real body?"

The original Theo became even more confused. After all this, he wanted to return to his body and try to find a way to reach a higher level. This might be his opportunity to finally shake free from all the bullying he had.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything to his real body. He entered it, touched it, or even said all the words that might allow him to return to his body. Yet, he couldn't return.

"What's happening to my real body? Why can't I go back? Is there something I have to do? I have learned a few things about Blessings… The figures from the past could bestow us strength through blessing, but I don't think I have heard anything about them taking over our bodies.

"In that case, who is the one controlling my body right now?" The original Theo furrowed his eyebrows. "That's right. Sometimes, we will have a period where the ones who give their blessing can't talk to us as if they have used a lot of energy just to connect with us.

"Since he has just given me his blessing, there might be a period of time that he can't contact me. As long as I wait for a bit more, I might be able to go back. I only need to wait for the God of Mischief." The original Theo nodded with a serious expression.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Noᴠelꜰire

In the end, the original Theo followed his body back to the base, wondering what he would do with his body.

Surprisingly, his body went to a mask store to buy a mask.

"Hmm? A mask?" The original Theo frowned. "If I were to buy a mask… I would only do it to hide my identity. Ah, right… There is that Material Card. It's a big deal for someone like me to sell it since I'm not supposed to be strong enough."

The original Theo nodded in understanding. He continued to follow the original Theo, wondering what he wanted to do next.

His body reached the teleportation circle and was about to go back. So, the original Theo also floated next to him since he would follow his body until the God of Mischief talked to him again.

After all, he had a lot of things to do once he got back.

But to his surprise, instead of being flown to the other side, the original Theo was transported to another place.

"Huh?" The original Theo widened his eyes. Instead of the Earth he remembered, he was teleported to a place with a red sky. "Where is this?"

He looked around, finding many new things in this world. He found a few living beings whose bodies had become translucent. In fact, they seemed to be in the same state as him.

But he couldn't find any intelligence in their eyes as if their brain didn't function anymore.

"What happens to these people? And where am I? This place is kind of eerie." The original Theo couldn't see much of his surroundings since the fog around him was too thick.

He kept staring at these people and even did everything he could to gain their attention. Yet, they didn't even bother to look at him as if he didn't exist.

Even though his talent had been suppressed, Theo was still a smart guy. He tried to think about his current situation.

"Hmm… I have a translucent body like these guys… it feels like I'm a ghost or something… But there are a lot of situations like this from what I know such as Astral Body and other things like that…" The original Theo looked down, falling into deep thought.

Without him realizing it, there was a pair of red eyes appearing inside the mist. Suddenly, a giant red tongue came out and circled around Theo's body.

"Huh?" The original Theo widened his eyes in shock. "What is this? Why is this red thing tying me up? It's warm…"

The original Theo didn't realize it was a tongue until he turned around and heard a voice coming from behind.

"To think there is a soul that still has its own consciousness… It seems that there is an anomaly from this soul."

The original Theo looked at the pair of eyes, panic-stricken. Fear started to well up in his heart. He wanted to say something, but his tongue couldn't move due to the fear.

As the tongue pulled him closer, he could gradually see the one who had such red eyes in the mist.

A snake? Theo asked a question in his mind, but that was the only thing he could think of. Judging from how the snake could see him alone was enough to tell him that this snake was extraordinary, considering all the monsters that he passed by when following his real body couldn't see him at all.

And the snake also said something about 'soul,' which confused him.

'A soul? I am a soul? But…' Theo wanted to reason with the snakes, telling him that he had just come out from his body for no reason and he couldn't return to his real body. But the fear had scared him still.

"It seems he is still capable of experiencing fear. I guess he still has all his reasons and functions like a consciousness…" The snake spoke again while dragging the original Theo into the mist.
