I don't know if anyone's asked this before, but I'm curious. What are the gods like where you're from? Or other supernatural stuff? How normal are they?

I come from a place where it isn't weird to meet a small god at least once, and no one says things like ghosts and demons and spirits aren't real because they very observably are. But I've heard that's not necessarily true in other worlds, and there are plenty of people who'd count as supernatural here too.

You can also just share your favourite legends or myths from back home. Those are always neat to hear.

[ Shigeru doesn't know if he should answer this as the god of his world or what?! But he will wing it. ] Stuff like gods, monsters, and powers are all very normal in my world. Ghosts, demons, and spirits all exist in my world as well. I'm not sure what a small god is, but we had only the god of light and the god of darkness as the main creator gods of my world. Though if you ask others there are people who worship lesser gods but they don't actually exist and only came from legends and myths. But the two main gods are both gone now.

It's a god of a specific thing in a specific place. Like the god of a river near a village, or a town's artisan god.

[ ...The idea that somehow there are a couple of major gods but not lesser ones feels so weird to him, if only because the gods have been in his life from his birth, apparently. ]

What happens now that they're gone?

[mysophobic]

Well they're not...gone. I kind of...merged with them. So now I'm my world's new god. I still don't have the hang of it and I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do, but I am trying to clean up the mess the two of them left behind. It's really hard being a god...I don't envy them at all.

It's a lot of hard work.

[ Well. This wasn't what he was expecting. But to reiterate something he said to someone else: ]

Having only one god left in charge of stuff sounds like a bad idea to me.
