“Goodpang Delivery! We’ll leave it at your door!”
There were two packages in total.
I immediately picked up the parcels left at my door and carried them back into my room.
—Criiick!
“Hmm, looks like everything’s here.”
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, strawberries, grapes, barley, wheat, and more.
Inside the packages were various kinds of seeds, each individually packed.
I’d just finished buying all sorts of seeds you could find on the internet.
I opened the next parcel right away.
Crrrkk!
This one was an old camcorder I’d bought from JunkPeaceNation.
Thankfully, it seemed to work just fine.
“Well, it’s in pretty good shape considering it was used for five years.”
At that moment, a notification window popped up in front of me.
—Ding!
[You have a new message!]
God.
All preparations have been completed, so I offer this prayer as you instructed.
It was a message from Jeanne d’Arc.
“Oh, nice timing! Shall I head over?”
I grabbed the seed packets and reached out to the Fortress World icon.
A pure white light surrounded me, and I felt my body being drawn in.
Slowly opening my eyes, I immediately surveyed the Plains of the Sun.
Before long, I spotted the busy followers moving about.
The former Slums residents who had settled on the Plains of the Sun.
According to Jeanne d’Arc, the followers had started calling this place the Sanctuary.
‘Guess they’re not Slums residents anymore, but Sanctuary Residents now.’
Meanwhile, on one side of the plains, Jan and other young people were cultivating the fields.
As I gazed at them, Jeanne d’Arc noticed me and raised her head with a bright smile.
“Everyone, God is here!”
Since being appointed as Apostle, she’d gained the ability to faintly sense my presence.
“Did you finish what I asked?”
“Yes. Just as you instructed, we’ve prepared the land for sowing seeds.”
Where nothing had existed until yesterday, vast fields now stretched out in all directions.
They’d expanded a great deal in just one day.
“The soil of the Sanctuary is amazing. Even with just one turn of the hoe, it tills evenly and easily.”
Jan looked at the fields with a satisfied expression.
As expected, the land was perfectly suited for farming, just as I’d predicted.
Soon, I sent the seeds I’d brought to the Fortress World.
[Optimized Transfer List]
- Strawberry seeds …… 30P
- Carrot seeds …… 30P
- Onion seeds …… 30P
- Cabbage seeds …… 30P
- Corn seeds …… 30P
- Tomato seeds …… 30P
- Potato seeds …… 30P
- Sweet potato seeds …… 30P
- Barley seeds …… 30P
- Wheat seeds …… 30P
The transfer list was packed with all kinds of seeds, just like a receipt.
‘So many, it’s almost ridiculous.’
[300 Divine Power points will be consumed.]
[Divine Power: 360/360 → 60/360]
I’d used almost all of my Divine Power to send the seeds, but that was fine.
Now, I wouldn’t have to worry about seeds for a while.
“Here are the seeds I told you about.”
Fwaaaash!
With a flash of white light, sacks filled with seeds piled up.
The followers offered up a prayer, then began sowing seeds across the freshly tilled earth.
And then.
“What… what is this?!”
“Oh my goodness!”
“It’s a miracle! A miracle from the Creator!”
The moment the seeds hit the soil, green sprouts burst forth instantly.
From sprout to stem, stem to leaf, leaf to fruit.
The entire growth process was visible—crops shot up before our very eyes.
‘…The effect of the Divine Seed is even better than I thought.’
Of course, the followers were far more shocked than I was.
“Incredible! The fruits ripened in just seconds! How is this possible?”
“There are even fruits I’ve never seen before!”
“It’s thanks to the miracle seeds bestowed by God!”
“Ah, Creator! Thank you so much!”
With delighted faces, the followers harvested fruits and crops from the branches and stalks.
The baskets they’d prepared were nowhere near enough, so they had to bring more.
[Quest]
A New Home
- 1. Help resolve the followers’ food crisis….. Complete (√)
- 2. Help resolve the followers’ housing problem.
Experience +30, Divine Power +3P
When all the work was done, the followers lifted their overflowing baskets high into the air.
Jeanne d’Arc stepped forward and prayed on everyone’s behalf.
“We dedicate this blessed first harvest to God above all.”
Ding!
[System]
- Your followers have sent an Offering!
[System]
- Will you accept the Offering? …… (Y/N)
- Offering: ‘Strawberry’, ‘Carrot’, ‘Onion’, ‘Cabbage’, ‘Corn’, ‘Tomato’, ‘Potato’, ‘Sweet Potato’, ‘Barley’, ‘Wheat’
- Origin: Fortress World, ‘Plains of the Sun’
The harvested crops held by the followers turned into light and disappeared.
By now, they should have been transferred onto my desk.
Of course, they’d be smaller than their original size.
‘At least now I’ll never have to worry about ingredients again.’
To exaggerate a bit, just saving on food costs could cut my living expenses in half.
And besides, these weren’t just any ingredients.
100% farm-fresh, organic produce, delivered straight from the source.
Just putting the word “organic” on a pack of strawberries that normally sells for 8,000 won could drive the price up to 20,000 won—a magic trick in itself.
‘And since it’s organic, it should be good for my health too.’
Creator.
This isn’t a bad gig, is it?
With a satisfied smile, I said,
“From now on, keep harvesting your crops steadily. Just offer me enough as an Offering each day for one person to eat. The rest is all yours.”
I wasn’t planning to open a produce shop, so even if I only received a little every day, it would be more than enough.
‘If I took too much, I wouldn’t even be able to eat it all—it would just rot.’
And then.
[System]
- The faith of your followers grows ever stronger!
On top of everything, it helped build an image of a generous and considerate Creator among the followers—a win-win.
The followers offered prayers of gratitude and diligently harvested the crops.
Just then, I heard a voice calling me from somewhere.
“God… um…”
A child’s voice.
Looking down, I saw Jan’s little sister, Anna, glancing shyly up at the sky.
Her childlike cuteness made me smile unconsciously like a proud dad.
“What is it? Is something wrong?”
Anna seemed to have gathered her courage as she gulped and opened her mouth.
“Um… May I try a strawberry?”
A six-year-old child asking so politely was both adorable and praiseworthy.
“Of course! Eat as many as you’d like. Everyone else, help yourselves, too.”
Hearing that, the other young people working in the fields each grabbed a ripe fruit.
“Thank you, God!”
“Thank you!”
“We’ll enjoy it!”
With strawberry juice smeared around her lips, Anna giggled with a bright red smile.
“Hehe, it’s really delicious! Thank you, God! …Ah, right!”
Anna took something out of the small basket she was holding.
It was a bright red, perfectly ripe tomato.
“This is… a tomato I grew myself! I saved it to give to God first!”
[System]
•Will you accept the Offering? …… | (Y/N)
- Offering: Fresh Tomato
- Origin: Fortress World, ‘Plains of the Sun’
[Fresh Tomato]
- A tomato with thick, firm flesh. Its sweet and fresh taste is superb.
I tasted the tiny tomato, transmitted in cherry tomato size.
Though small, it was fresher than any tomato I’d ever eaten.
“Thank you. That’s a truly delicious tomato.”
Anna grinned and took a big bite of her tomato, too.
“See? It’s good, right? If I find anything tasty from now on, I’ll give it to God first!”
What a thoughtful child.
I really wanted to pat her head, but it pained me that I couldn’t.
Instead, Jeanne d’Arc gently stroked her little sister’s hair with a bright smile.
“What a good girl. I’ll have to work hard, too.”
“Ehehe… Here, you can have a tomato, too, sis!”
With that, the followers’ greatest concern—the food crisis—was resolved.
But the mission wasn’t complete yet.
There was still a mountain of work to do to turn this place into a proper home.
“All right, shall we make a true Sanctuary?”
That night.
“Haaah… I’m exhausted.”
Back in reality, I flopped onto my bed.
I’d spent all day checking every corner and lending a hand, exhausting myself with mental labor.
‘…Appointing Jeanne d’Arc as Apostle was the move of a lifetime.’
Even when I spoke clumsily, Jeanne d’Arc understood perfectly and delivered the right instructions to the followers.
Gentle on the outside, strong on the inside.
The Sanctuary Residents genuinely trusted her, who was gentle yet steadfast.
As a result, the Sanctuary had managed to become a respectable village in just a single day.
Thanks to the followers, who followed orders without complaint.
No one shirked their duties or tried to cut corners—they worked diligently and sincerely.
Though they were poor in material things, their hearts were rich.
“…Still, there’s a long road ahead.”
With no proper houses yet, most followers were living in makeshift tents.
First, we needed to build houses, secure a water source, and repair the roads around the village…
I’d be busy for a while.
‘…And once the Sanctuary Village is truly complete, it’ll be time to start recruiting more followers.’
In the middle of my dreary room-bound life, I’d suddenly found a rewarding mission.
Maybe that’s why I was working even harder.
‘…Let’s do our best again tomorrow!’
Thinking that, I closed my eyes.
“Ah, wait! I almost forgot—I had something to do!”
I immediately turned on my computer and dug out the camcorder.
Once I connected the USB port, all the videos I’d filmed popped up like mushrooms after rain.
“…Let’s see, I should pick a catchy title, right?”
Taptap—tap tap tap—

At last, the video upload began.
“Well, if it goes well, great. If not, oh well.”
I took a deep breath and dove into bed.
And, exhausted, I quickly fell asleep.
Snooore—
Meanwhile, the monitor still showed the upload’s progress.
