Chapter Title: Jijiyong World Goddess Summary
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, a bombshell dropped in the gallery.
The culprit behind the bomb was History Restoration Maniac.
He'd been so low-key that you might've wondered if he even existed, but with the emergence of the gallery owner, El Grace, he'd skyrocketed to fame as one of the gallery's named users.
But maybe because his rise was tied to someone else's influence...
Once El Grace vanished, History Restoration Maniac's activity in the gallery gradually faded, and lately, he'd only been posting half-hearted survival check-ins.
But today.
A heartfelt info dump from History Restoration Maniac reappeared in the gallery.
It was just like the early days when he'd first detailed the features of the ancient era.
And the topic? The one every gallery user had pondered—and wondered about—at least once.
Jijiyong World Goddess Summary
— Author: History Restoration Maniac
Hey everyone, long time no see. Remember why I haven't been posting summaries like this? I told you before. Yeah. I've got a pretty high position at the academy. Got caught up in real-life stuff, so I ended up late. Anyway, probably not many of you care about my updates, so let's jump straight to the main topic. The subject is, as the title says, all about the goddesses. What image pops into your head when you think of a goddess? Holy, omnipotent, an overwhelming beauty who's merciful and radiant. That's the usual vibe, right? Though from what I've heard from the newbies lately, novels and comics these days flip that—gorgeous looks but rotten personalities. Oh, don't worry though. At least the goddesses we all know aren't like that! 1. Raine. The mascot everyone knows from Jijiyong. She's been there since the prologue, so inescapable that she's the first goddess I'll introduce. Goddess Raine is the creator of the Craido Continent, and in Jijiyong, she starts off summoning players from Earth. Especially that summoning part sparked all those speculative posts wondering if she's the one who dragged us into this world. Honestly, I got no clue, so we'll skip that. Anyway! Raine governs the concepts of light and order. She's the poster child for representing good (善) outright. Among the goddesses I'll cover, she has by far the highest recognition, but surprisingly, there's barely any info on her. Most folks treat her like the one true god. Her personality? You know those church chants they drone on about every day?
"Ah~ Merciful our lord, blah blah~" Yeah, exactly—merciful, holy, all that jazz. And yet she cares so much about her world's humans that she kidnaps folks from another world (Earth), hands them a power (the system), and begs them to save her dangerous realm. Her power is strong enough to forge an entire continent, but for some reason—maybe ties to the other goddesses I’ll explain later—she can't intervene much in the current era. Still, she can't just sit idle, so she's secretly lending a bit of strength here and there. Take holy power, for example. The stuff church priests use. That power is actually Raine's light force, massively diluted so humans can handle it! Thanks to her domain over "light," holy power has light properties and shines white. That's why. Oh, and a fun fact about all the goddesses: When you become their apostle, they tack a specific word onto their power. Raine's apostles become Apostles of Order. The prefix is a power you can wield even without direct ties to them, but the suffix? Not so much. That's the difference. 2. Irine. A ton of you probably don't know her starting here. Like I said about Raine earlier, most locals see her as the sole god. But those who don't—the elite like the emperor or pope, famous noble houses, top historians—they all know about Irine too! I dunno how they know, but it hooked me up with various intel. Biggest scoop: She governs darkness and chaos. Light and order. Darkness and chaos. Sounds super linked to Raine, right? Your hunch is spot on. Irine opposes Raine. Though she gets totally smoked in popularity! Lololol. Unlike Raine, Irine is super into the desires and emotions of living beings. Because of that trait, I'm cautiously guessing she might be the one who created the gallery. Honestly, where else can humans be this brutally honest? She's clashed with Raine a lot over it, but surprisingly, they get along fine. Might think she'd be the classic villain spawning magic beasts to torment humans, but nope—don't hate. Her powers just make her seem that way, but like Raine, she's benevolent toward humanity. 3. Kishine. Now here's where it gets tricky. Info on Goddess Kishine is ~way~ too scarce! Irine at least has scraps known by a few, but Kishine? Nada! But who am I? History Restoration Maniac! I dug up her records. Heh heh. Everyone knows Carmo Village, right? No way you don't. Even if you forgot, hearing its BGM would jog your memory—Aha!
"Reincarnation," top 10 in Jijiyong BGM, is that village's theme. You've seen tons of piano or other instrument covers, yeah? Calm yet dreamy, but keeps getting eerie the more you listen. In-game, it plays on village entry, but IRL, the villagers actually sing it? They say it's an ancient traditional song passed down. One unbreakable village custom: Teach it to your kids. You're wondering how this ties to a goddess. How'd I find out? Lemme remind you again. Who am I? History Restoration Maniac. Time mage who peers into the ancient past. Super lucky—while rewinding time to view history, I spotted the link between this village and the goddess. Not her true body, mind you—avatar, incarnation, apostle, something like that. Couldn't pin it down. Kept trying to look closer, but something blocked my eyes midway. That alone confirmed she was a goddess, though. No ordinary being could shield my sight. From the village song, I realized the lyrics weave tales of Kishine, letting me infer her powers. She governs creation and destruction. Bluntly superior to Raine and Irine's domains. But the lyrics say she's the youngest, lowest-ranked among goddesses, mentally childlike—pure but with bursts of cruelty hidden beneath. Wonder why the song feels creepy on repeat? Probably reflects Kishine's personality. 4. Sahine. Last one up. Name: Sahine. Eldest sister among goddesses. Powers: time and space. Currently lent her body to her sisters and in hiding. End. ...Yeah. That's it. Can't help it? Kishine had slim pickings, but Sahine? Zero beyond this! How'd I find even this? Don't ask. Not info for you yet? Heh heh. If you've seen the endgame, DM me. I'll spill. After verification steps, of course. Anyway! That's all on the goddesses. Feels refreshing posting like this after so long. I'll be back with another hot topic next time. Ciao!
...And so History Restoration Maniac's post came to an end.
It was a massive wall of text, the longest and densest he'd ever dropped, but everyone read it cover to cover.
They were that curious. About the goddesses of the world they lived in.
Wait, four goddesses?
Raine? Irine? Kishine? Sahine? Wtf, why make the names so similar?
So what's their appearance like, history bug? Similar to Raine?
The gallery exploded.
Coming from History Restoration Maniac, on goddesses, with such juicy details? Chaos.
Comments poured in nonstop, skyrocketing it to top post instantly.
But then, attention got stolen by a follow-up post.
This Body. Returning
— Author: El Grace (Gallery Owner?)
Ten minutes after History Restoration Maniac's post.
An even bigger, more explosive bomb dropped.
The gallery owner, El Grace's return post.
