Chapter 27: Osiris’ Trials ----- [The Cosmic Throne {Lady that Soothes the Souls of the Death} invites you to her Dungeon.] [After what you’ve done with Anubis, she finds your existence very amusing.] [She’s thinking about making you her incarnation.] As the gates to Osiris Dungeon opened, I received some words from the goddess, who had been peeking at me for a while. Although she controls the authority of Osiris, she’s not truly Osiris. He was a male god, after all; the goddess that’s watching me is, however, someone very close to him. I am fairly sure she is Isis, the wife of Osiris and the Egyptian Goddess linked with Funerals, Motherhood, and even Magic. But why is she in control of the authority of Osiris? Where is Osiris? Well, this is a spoiler from the novel, but the thing is... Osiris is in trouble. A battle between the Egyptian Gods happened long ago, named the “Dawn of Ra”, Anubis managed to seal Osiris and take back the Egyptian Underworld in such a battle, sealing Osiris in the depths of the Underworld. Isis was left alone after the battle once settled when the leader of the Faction of “Ancient Gods” acquired the Eye of Ra, the ultimate power said to be the embodiment of the sun itself. However, before being sealed completely, Osiris gave his wife his last remaining divinities, as he didn’t want Anubis to acquire them for himself. This is the reason why she enjoyed me beating the shit out of the annoying dog, and I think I could curry favor with her even more. After all, I want to make some Constellations my allies, especially the “good” and “righteous” ones that aren’t chaotic or outright evil. Hence, the mission Isis has with this Dungeon is to find a suitable Incarnation for her powers and those of her husband, so they can battle against Anubis incarnation. Incarnations are a way for Constellations to descend into our world and settle their grudges by fighting against each other to death. The losers often have to forbid their powers or even end up getting sealed. This is because they imbue part of their very souls into them. It is a gamble, but if they win against another Incarnation, they grow stronger by absorbing the Incarnation Powers that belonged to their Constellation. They’re watching us not just for their own amusement; there’s something they can earn out of all of this. A good example is what happened with Sepa. She foolishly chose an Incarnation that was just a monster, which was defeated. As a result, she was punished by the “Rules of Battles Between Incarnations”. Of course, for such Rules to exist among such powerful entities as Constellations, there must be even higher authorities out there, right? Well, that’s where the “Council of Nebulas” enters. But that’ll be for another time. Now, I should better concentrate on what’s in front of me. [The Cosmic Throne {Lady that Soothes the Souls of the Death} welcomes you to her Dungeon of Trials.] [If you want to obtain the Relics and Treasures here, you have to complete the first Three Trials.] [Additionally, the Cosmic Throne {Lady that Soothes the Souls of the Death} will see if you’re qualified to become her Incarnation.] “I see, I am looking forward to that!” Of course, I wasn’t planning on becoming anybody’s incarnation, but for now, it is nice to make her think I am interested so she can give me rewards and stuff. “Huh?! Are you sure you want that crazy Isis as your Constellation?!” Wondered Sepa, beginning to sob. “I-I thought... sniff, you wanted to become my Incarnation instead! I feel betrayed. “What are you sobbing at?” I sighed. “Why would I become your incarnation?” “Guh…” Sepa felt even more terrible. “Come on, just cooperate, and once we’re back, I’ll make you some pancakes,” I said. “And fried eggs with bacon?” “A-And peanut butter jam sandwiches?!” “…Fine.” “And…!” "Okay, don’t get too cocky!” [Welcome to the {Osiris Dungeon of Trials}] [You have entered the First Trial, the Trial of Defeat.] Suddenly, we found ourselves surrounded by s
