Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

The moment we reached Cloudia, there was already a big commotion. Most of the people passing through the streets recognized us, running towards us with happy smiles.

"It's the heroes of the future!"

"Are they?!"

"Yes, yes, it's them!"

"The people that stopped the cultists and the demon king's resurrection!"

"T-They saved our fragment of the past from being deleted too!"

"Our saviors! Our heroes!"

Divine Dragons, Ancient Elves, and Majin alike all gathered around us, celebrating our arrival as if we were heroes, and I guess to this fragment of the past, we truly are.

"Woaah, are you all famous or something?!" Little Titania gasped. "Hi! I am Titania!"

"E-Eh? Is she…?!"

"She's Yggdrasil's daughter, Titania!"

"What? How did she get here?"

"Mama let me come visit! She said it was fine!" Titania smiled. "Nice to meet you everyone! Wow, there's so many people! I've never met so many people before!"

"W-Well, welcome to Cloudia then, young princess!"

"She's so adorable!"

"Welcome! I hope you have a nice stay!"

"Do you need a guide around the city?"

A lot of people offered their help, but we declined, we already had somewhere to go first.

"Sorry, sorry, we're busy right now. Thank you though, we'll consider your offers for the near future!" I walked away while holding Little Titania's hand so she wouldn't fly away somewhere out of curiosity.

Her big eyes were looking everywhere, she was very obsessed with every single detail of the city, pointing at it and asking what it was.

Once we made our way to Mercedes house, we suddenly found Mercedes and Brisingra just walking back home.

"Oh! Lady Planta!" Brisingra smiled, greeting us. "Everyone!"

"Hi! I know it has only been just a day, but I wanted to check on you," I said. "How have you been? Is everything good here?"

"Yeah everything's alright!" Brisingra nodded.

"Most of the news have already been shared, I assume you were swarmed by a lot of happy people, right? They are calling all of you "heroes of the future", haha," Mercedes laughed. "Come in, let's talk more inside. Have you eaten something?"

"Well, yeah, we just ate a lot, but we can join to some tea, maybe," I nodded. "Right guys?"

"Yeah!" Acorn nodded. "I got some acorns myself; I'll share them with everyone."

"What's an acorn? Are they tasty?" Little Titania wondered.

"Looks like they don't exist in the past, huh?" I giggled.

As we made our way inside and accompanied everyone to some food, we continued the conversation while enjoying some snacks and desserts, alongside some tea.

"So the three Elders have decided to create a larger leading organization?" Mark wondered.

"Yes, it is because now that the Gods are no longer here, and our world now consist only of Cloudia, Verdant, and the Demon King Continent, we'll need some more people to govern and order," said Mercedes. "Before, the Gods told us everything we had to do… Three Elders were more than enough. But we plan to create Guilds for each City of Cloudia now.

Also, the Elders expressed their interest in sending some people to populate the continents below and explore it for their resources. Without the gods to provide with many miracles and blessings, we must quickly fend by ourselves."

"Well, there's also mama out there! She can help!" Titania said while eating cookies and cream ice cream with pancakes.

"Yes, we are well aware of Mother Yggdrasil," nodded Mercedes. "The Elders were planning on also communicating with her more. To share resources and knowledge. But everyone is still rather afraid, after all she's very territorial and doesn't like to be disturbed."

"I am sure she has changed as well, now that things have become different, she allowed Titania to visit you all," I said. "I think she doesn't want her children to be lonely anymore. And that might be a good excuse to also start some negotiations between the two continents."

"Cloudia is vast, and I am sure we can sustain ourselves, but as our population continues to grow, that might become impossible without the Gods to help," Mercedes said. "So it would be ideal to eventually expand our population as villages in Verdant! Of course, only if we get Yggdrasil's approval."

"Interesting… Well, as the owner of this Realm, I should be able to convince her," I nodded. "As long as there's nobody with bad intentions, of course. I might be in control of this Realm now, but I still can't detect each individual's intentions… I remember there were some cultists you jailed. What happened to them?"

"They're still alive, although most of them have grown… depressed," said Mercedes. "It is as if the disappearance of the Demon King had impacted them tremendously. Perhaps whatever curse was set on their minds is slowly weakening. But for now, we'll keep them jailed."

"Yes, it's better to do that for now," I nodded. "Well! I suppose there's a lot to do for everyone. I'll also do my part, I have to take responsibility of this Realm if possible."

"It's not entirely necessary, Planta. We know you're busy in the future, trying to also protect the Arcadia of that time," Mercedes said. "As long as you can help us with a few things here and there, we can take care of ourselves, as we've always done."

"Heh, how reliable! Alright, alright," I nodded. "What do you think, dear?"

"Me? Ah…" Mark stopped eating donuts with coffee. "I would say it's alright, yeah. We're quite busy ourselves, we can't spend much time here after all… Though, I would like to have a word with the Elders later, maybe another day. I kind of want to see how they organize everything. Have they thought about a governing system similar to feudal systems?

With Planta as the Queen, and with her authority, she could assign other governors that take care of areas of the Realm."

"Hmm, we never thought about that! It does sounds interesting, I don't think anybody would reject Planta as their Queen, she's a literal Goddess of this Realm after all!" Mercedes nodded. "What do you think, Planta? Do you like the idea of becoming our Queen?"

"Q-Queen of a whole world?!" I gasped. "W-Wait, let me think about that first!"

I was honestly panicking, isn't that too much responsibility?!

I know Mark had good intentions with that, but honey, calm down a bit!
