Personal happiness or loyalty. Suppose choosing one comes at the cost of the other, which would you choose and why?

That is what I am considering, but it is difficult. It feels like a betrayal of my current god, of my duty.

[smilingbullet]

But without a god you can properly work with, you can't properly fulfill your duty.

[unlucky7]

Do you think it'd be easier if we weren't assigned gods at the start? I know nameless shinki can't case spells and we're easy prey for ayakashi, but if we had a chance to get to know a god and choose for ourselves instead of being assigned wouldn't it be better?

[smilingbullet]

Yes and know, I think. An undead is at much bigger risk and an easier target for ayakashi, so it's pretty good to have a name while adjusting to being an amnesiac that suddenly is supposed to be a weapon to a god.

[unlucky7]

Do you ever wish you weren't a weapon to a god?

[smilingbullet]

No, not really. I was a bit doubtful at the start but if I'm going to be here I think it's better for me to be a shinki than a god. And I want to be useful.

[unlucky7]

I want to be useful too. I'm not right now. I guess that's my problem.

I don't think I'd mind being a god though.

[smilingbullet]

Yeah, then finding a god that will let you feel useful is the only option that you have.

I guess you can hope or pray, whatever you prefer, that you become one one day, then. It's not unheard of that that happens, though it's rare.

[unlucky7]

I don't think I'd mind becoming a god, but I don't know if I want to become a god. I think I'm better suited as a shinki. If I was meant to be a god, I'd be one now, right?

[smilingbullet]

Hmm. Not necessarily, otherwise shinki wouldn't turn into gods and gods wouldn't turn into shinki, ever.
