Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

After learning better what a Nature Soul truly was, the Druids went to check if we were compatible… Aside from me, it seemed that everyone else was already compatible!

"Hohoho, oh well! It doesn't matter, we'll check who can get one or not, so don't worry," said the old druid lady. "Now!"

Her eyes widened for a moment, shining with bright golden light, it was as if she stared at everyone's soul and body for a second.

"Hmm! Interesting… Very interesting!" she laughed.

"What is it?" I wondered.

"Hahaha, despite them not having gone through similar processes as us… They… They're all compatible to create a Nature Soul now! It is as if… a greater being attuned with Nature had blessed them already. Their souls… they had become its vessel; therefore, it has automatically become capable of becoming Nature Souls!"

Wait, is this because of the Vessel Skill I made?! Well… that makes things easier! This means that thanks to that powerful Vessel Skill, which should also be a Divine Fusion Skill, everyone's soul ash been attuned by the Great Spirit and maybe also Titania?

"It must be because of her," I said, as I showed them the Great Spirit, who appeared in the form of several fruits, vegetables, and plants wrapped up into the shape of a small girl the size of half a meter. "I don't know if you have seen her or met her before, but this is the Great Spirit of Harvest and Nature."

"A Great Spirit…!" Jannis muttered. "Incredible! So the Goddess has such a being serving her…"

"I should have expected as much!" Judith nodded. "A Great Spirit! Did she attuned their souls to be Nature Soul compatible?"

"But even then, it shouldn't be that easy…" said Rudras. "Maybe the Goddess can harbor the Great Spirit as a vessel, but what about the rest? Do they even possess such aptitudes?" Read new chapters at empire

"Perhaps its thanks to a "Skill", I have, a Supernatural Ability connected to my Soul," I explained. "It shares the ability to harbor the Great Spirit as a Vessel with anybody I choose as a "Guardian", you see."

"Oh…" Rudras muttered. "So an innate power to the goddess?"

"I suppose she would have such things, not everything is some easy magic we can understand," said Judith.

"Yes, there are many powers in this world, and with this First Contact Event that kickstarted the awakening of normal people into people capable of harboring Mana and Magic, it is possible for even more of such powers to become common," said Jannis, nodding. "Now, please let us awaken your Nature Soul, Goddess. The rest can do so with the help of Judith and Rudras. It shouldn't be too hard.

However, for the Goddess, I must help her personally."

"Alright then," I nodded. "Do I need to do something, Grandma Jannis?"

She walked to my side then sat behind me, touching my back with her hand.

"Just stay right there," she said. "I will touch your skin with my hand, and then imbue a part of my Nature Soul into yours. This should quickly awaken your dormant Nature Soul."

"Wait, it's that easy?! I thought a ritual was needed…" I said.

"Yes, normally," she giggled. "However, Goddess Elayne is very powerful! Your Soul is very large as well, and it has been growing constantly. So I believe it shouldn't be hard."

Constantly, huh? Must be because my SOUL Stat has increased a lot over time in BNLO, my Soul has become progressively larger, I barely noticed.

"I see… Then begin immediately, Jannis," I said. "I'm leaving this to you."

"Rest assured. Just close your eyes and think of something," she said. "Think of what you believe is "nature" of those that you're close to, and the "feeling" that you get when you're surrounded by nature."

"The Feeling…?"

I closed my eyes, thinking about such things.

I thought about what I believed nature was.

Endless lush green.

Beautiful forests, jungles, swamps.

Grasslands and even mountains, seas, the sky itself too.

Floating islands, a beautiful realm of nature and spirits.

Animals, people…

Druids and gods.

Isn't all of that Nature?

Indeed, Nature is not just plants.

I guess I've realized that for a little while now.

Nature encompasses all natural processes.

The entire world, theoretically, was born from nature itself.

Even the harshest deserts are nature, even the coldest snow lands are nature.

The highest peaks, the lowest underwater trenches.

The beautiful, colorful coral reefs.

The swamps and their water, plants, and animals.

Great canyons, deserted wastelands.

Rivers and lakes.

I could see it all so very clearly, for some reason…

And then, those I'm close to?

My entire family.

Mark, Elena, Rita, Lily, Jenny, everyone…

Anna, my daughter's girlfriend, she's also my family.

Elisa and Monica too, of course.

My mother and my father, my sisters and my brother.

My grandmother and my grandfather.

My husband, and even his distant family.

Even the people of the Forest of Beginnings.

The Squirrel-kins and Acorn.

The Fairies and Nieve, Florie, and Titania.

The Brownies, Gnomes, and the Myconid.

The Mushroom Brigade.

My Familiars, Silver, Belle, Loki, and many more…

Blackie too, of course.

The Great Spirit and Lady Verdant.

Granny Austucia and the other druids from Arcadia, Johanna as well.

Brisingra and her father, and also her mother too.

Ambil, my good friend.

The King and the Queen of Luminous, and their beloved child.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gabriel too! And Katherine, how could I ever forget them?

Even Irene, my Shovel…

Melisa, Erdragon, Horshen, Goldanaba, BlackEye and Erika.

So many people I love and care for, they're all my family.

I can see them all so clearly, so many people have shaped my life already.

And I might meet many more in the future.

And then, the "feeling" that I have when I'm in nature.

Hmmm…

I suppose it would be a calming feeling.

I feel at ease, happy.

Protected.

FLUOSH!

These visions continued to appear through my mind, as I felt something surging, something emerging from my very soul.

It was as if I was blossoming like a flower, spreading out my petals into the world.

it expanded, became one with my surroundings, and then continued spreading.

My senses were melting, spreading everywhere.

It was as if I was… dying and being reborn at the same time.

FLAAASH!

"Oh my…! T-This is?!"

And I heard Jannis' shocked voice.
