God of Internet

With so many things to prepare, I stayed up all night to speed up the development of the Internet applications that I could improve.

For example, since Luna's songs were already ready, I used the early hours to develop the visual interface of [Mystic Melody] and all the functions of the app.

The only thing left to do to get the app online was to record Luna's songs.

Since I had plenty of time, I took the opportunity to add the functionality of using Premium Internet Coins as a way to buy Internet time, letting people accumulate prayers every day to try to increase the average time believers spend on the Internet.

Another thing I took advantage of was that since I was going to launch Lucy's music app, I could also take the opportunity to develop an app for Zane.

He had come up with a few ideas, and using my divinity, I refined the one I thought had the most potential.

The idea he had was to make an app where people could feel fear and train their courage, which I thought was really interesting, but I thought I'd make it even more interesting.

Knowing how much people liked Ranks, I decided to turn his idea into a competitive app where players could train their courage or challenge a ranked mode with a score.

Those with the highest scores at the end of each season would receive prizes through the blessings of the God of Fear.

The person's rank could be displayed and shared via [Carrier Pigeon], and the person could see the rank of their friends in the Fear Test app.

Just as there was Flappy Bird in my previous world, which turned the world upside down with the competitiveness of people trying to get more points than their friends, I thought I'd bring the same idea to Zane's game.

So the first thing I had to do was familiarize myself with his use of divinity.

I couldn't delve too deeply into it for lack of time, as I had so many things to deal with in the next few days, it would be better to leave the study of this domain to the future Adrian.

Since I had already adapted to Lucy's deity in the past, adapting to a new deity was much easier.

After only one hour, I was already familiar with it.

Sure, my level of mastery and control over this deity wasn't as advanced as Zane's, but I had already managed to try out a few small applications of it that I'm sure he hadn't even thought of.

Ignoring my curiosity to explore further, I turned my attention to creating his app.

When Zane learned how the app would work, he was extremely excited to see how mortals would react to it.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Like every other day since I became a believer in the God of the Internet, the first thing I did when I woke up was pray to the God of the Internet.

"O God of the Internet, Lord of magic wires and digital paths, grant us fast connections and digital wisdom, let your wisdom run through my body. May our thoughts travel like lightning through your virtual domains, guided by your cyber light on the path to glory. In your grace, protect us from viruses and hackers, and may our downloads always be complete, amen.

Even though I didn't understand most of these words, I prayed with great sincerity because it was only because of the God of the Internet that I was able to learn to read and write, as well as learn how to better control my power and become a squire!

When I finished praying, the familiar Internet book appeared in my hand, with a beautiful white cover with details of swords and shields, making it even more beautiful and delicate.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Since I had become a squire, the Internet was unlocked for me, so I could use a squire's cover as the cover of my book, which I quickly did, making everyone who saw me using the book in our village very jealous of me.

To my surprise, when I opened the book, a message floated in front of me.

[Update notes:

- New functionality: Users can now pray multiple times in a row to accumulate Premium Internet Coins and use them to pay for hours of Internet use, i.e. if you pray 5 times in a day and only use the Internet for 3 hours, the next day you can use the other two accumulated hours!

...]

When I saw this new feature, I was shocked!

I had accumulated a total of 3 Premium Internet Coins over the past few days to feed my iMonster when needed, but who knew that I could use them to get even more Internet time!

Excited to see what else had changed, I continued reading the update notes.

[...

New App: [Fear Trial].

Fear Trial is an app made from the partnership between the God of the Internet and the God of Fear, where users can use to train their courage, every second of resisting fear in [Fear Trial] the user earns points to climb up the rank, the 500 players with the highest rank in the game will receive exclusive blessings from the God of Fear].

When I saw the description of this new application, I was shocked.

That was very interesting!

As one of the warrior hunters in the village where I live, I've always had to be very brave, so I was confident that I could get a high rank in this game.

Without thinking twice, I closed the update notes after seeing that there was nothing else of importance, and searched for the [Fear Trial] application.

Looking at the icon of the app, I was surprised... this really was something made in cooperation with the God of Fear...

The design of the icon alone, a white skull with an open mouth and pointed teeth on a background of green flames, was already a bit scary.

When I clicked on the icon, I felt the texture of the skull and the hairs on my arm stood on end...

Okay, calm down Thomas, you're brave.

When the application opened, the appearance was quite unique, but not very different from what I'd seen in [Carrier Pigeon].

The biggest difference was that instead of having a feed to post things and see other people's posts, this app had a different screen.

[Rank: ???] (?)

[Play]

Noticing that the icon of one of the question marks was clickable, I put my finger on it and saw a legend with the ranks!

[Bronze - Silver - Gold - Platinum - Diamond - Master - GrandMaster - Champion].

Each icon had a drawing of a shield made of that icon's material, except for the last three, which looked magical and luxurious.

My courage must be enough for my rank to be at least Master, right? I asked myself confused.

When I clicked play, another message appeared.

[A feeling of fear will come over you, every second it will increase, the longer you hold out, the more points you will receive, when the limit you can hold out is reached, the fear will go away and you won't receive any more points].

[5... 4... 3...]

As I watched the countdown, I looked over and saw my wife sleeping peacefully and realized that maybe I hadn't thought it through before I clicked [Play]...

[2... 1... 0!]

When the countdown reached zero, I didn't feel anything change.

In front of me, a number was increasing.

[1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7...]

When the number reached 10, I began to feel a strange sensation inside of me...

When the number reached 20, the feeling became stronger, to the point where I had to breathe harder.

When the number reached 30, I was breathing hard and a feeling of panic came over me, at which point I was about to scream, but I controlled myself and closed my mouth.

When the number reached 34 I couldn't take it anymore and started to scream as I got out of bed in despair.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as I screamed in despair, the number stopped increasing and the feeling of fear disappeared.

Looking at the Internet screen, what used to be a [Rank: ???] icon changed!

From a transparent shield, it changed to a bronze shield, which changed to a silver shield, which changed to a gold shield, which changed to a platinum shield, but just when I thought it was going to get better, it stopped at the platinum shield...

[Platinum 3]

That was my result... there was still Platinum 2, Platinum 1, until I could finally switch to a Diamond 5 shield...

But when I looked at that beautiful, delicate platinum shield, a huge smile appeared on my face.

Even more so when I saw that there was an option to add details to the cover of my book according to my rank!

Without thinking twice, I activated it, and now the cover of my book, which was previously a white cover with swords and shields, had a drawing of a platinum shield in the corner!

Seeing how beautiful my Internet book looked, I had a huge smile on my face, but that smile soon disappeared when I looked in the direction of my bed and saw the monster scarier than [Fear Trial] that I would now have to deal with.

My wife...
