A few days ago, the very channel that had appeared like a comet was Creator TV.
The video content itself was utterly ordinary.
It simply showed scenes of peaceful rural life, farming, cooking, healing, mukbang, and so on.
But with its exotic scenery, unfamiliar food, and even the unique appearance of the people in it—
The greatest weapon of Creator TV was its detail, as if it had plucked medieval Europe right from history.
‘……It’s not just a concept. The setting is genuinely medieval.’
Above all, Jeanne d’Arc was causing an explosive stir among viewers.
—Ahㅋㅋ This channel’s concept is on point
ᄂJeanne d’Arcㅋㅋ concept is just ㅇㅈ
—Who is that person? A model?
ᄂNever seen her before..
—ᄂWhere is this filmed?? Doesn’t look like Korea
・She’s a foreigner but speaks Korean really wellㅋㅋ
—Both the older and younger sister look like dolls ㄷㄷㄷ
—Little sister-chan is so cuteee!
—Waaah! I’m a baby Mutube fan too, I want to be Jeanne d’Arc’s little sister
—
ᄂMutube fan..
—
ᄂKABOOM!! (Sound of Mutube fan’s mother’s heart breaking)
—Jeanne noona! Please do a livestream!! Hurry up!!!
—
—Good, good! Let’s go liveeee~
Peeking at my smartphone, I clicked my tongue in embarrassment.
It’s only been a week since I uploaded the first video.
Creator TV’s subscriber count has already surpassed 90,000 and is steadily heading toward 100,000.
“Hm, I didn’t expect it to get this popular…….”
It was truly an abnormal, explosive rate of growth.
Thanks to that, ad revenue had started to roll in quite nicely.
Food was handled with offerings, and money was earned by uploading the daily lives of my believers.
‘Isn’t this the real creative economy?’
Unconsciously, the corners of my lips crept upward.
Just then.
「Um……. God? Is something wrong?」
As I hurriedly composed my expression and looked down, Jeanne d’Arc was tilting her head at me.
“……It’s nothing.”
「I see! Well, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve marked all the trees causing inconvenience to travelers, as you instructed, God.」
Looking around, I could see trees throughout the forest wrapped with white cloth.
Most were unnecessarily large or growing at a slant toward the path.
“Understood. Then, since it’s dangerous, everyone stand well back.”
I slowly reached out my hand toward one of the marked trees.
CRACK-! Craaack~!
With a thunderous sound, the huge old tree was uprooted, roots and all.
[Divine Power: 360/360→340/360]
Naturally, since these were much bigger than ordinary trees, it cost 20 points of Divine Power to pull up just one.
‘……Still, that’s pretty efficient.’
Before long, I started uprooting the other marked trees one by one.
Currently, together with the Sanctuary Residents, I was working to clear a path around the Sanctuary.
Even if we were now self-sufficient, there was no way we could gather every single daily necessity from the forest.
So, maintaining a road that people could travel was absolutely essential.
‘It’ll also be useful when it comes time to sell surplus crops.’
I yanked out a huge old tree that had been blocking the forest path and set it down in a corner.
「Ohh……. To pull out such a large tree all at once!」
「With the Creator by our side, I feel so reassured!」
「Hah! At this pace, we’ll have the road finished today!」
「Come on, now! God is working so hard for us, we can’t just stand around! Let’s get moving, everyone!」
The fervent response from the believers put me in an even better mood.
“All right, I’ll handle the rest all at once!”
After pulling out dozens of trees, the road clearing work was mostly done.
Before I knew it, a small hill had formed in one corner of the forest, made up of all the uprooted trees.
‘……This should be enough.’
I picked up the fallen trees on the ground all at once, being careful not to crush them.
After all, I planned to recycle these trees as lumber for building houses.
“Then, I’ll leave the clean-up to you all. Let’s head back to the village first.”
Jeanne d’Arc nodded and issued instructions to the believers.
「I’ll return to the village with God first. Please take care of clearing the undergrowth and nearby paths.」
「Of course! No problem at all!」
「We’ll have it all finished by this evening! Don’t worry!」
「God, and Saint! Leave the rest to us and please travel safely!」
Receiving the believers’ farewells, Jeanne d’Arc and I made our way to the Sanctuary.
All around the Sanctuary Village, young men were working together to build houses.
…THUD!
As I set down the trees in a corner of the worksite, the busy believers immediately flocked over.
“How’s the house-building going?”
To my question, the middle-aged carpenter in charge stepped forward and bowed his head.
「Yes! Thanks to God’s help in so many ways, the work is progressing extremely quickly! At this rate, by tonight, everyone in the Sanctuary will have a home to sleep in!」
The foreman wiped the sweat from his brow and laughed heartily.
“Is there anything else you need? Any missing materials?”
He pondered for a moment before replying.
「Well… to be honest, we’ve run out of the Divine Tree and the Mysterious Adhesive Solution you granted us yesterday. As we built the houses as sturdily as possible, just as God instructed, we quickly used them all up.」
The Divine Tree and Mysterious Adhesive Solution were real-world items I had transmitted to the believers.
The impressive-sounding names they’d given these items were, in fact…
“You ran out of chopsticks and wood glue? I’ll send more right away.”
Yes, they were just chopsticks and wood glue.
[Regular Transmission List]
—Bundle of Chopsticks……
—Wood Glue
…… 10P
50P
[Divine Power: 160/360→100/360]
FWASH!
A large bundle of chopsticks appeared in a corner of the Sanctuary.
Transmitted in their real-world size, even a single chopstick was enough for the believers to build several houses with ease.
The carpenters immediately picked up their saws and gathered around the chopsticks.
「Truly the Divine Tree! There’s no other lumber in this world as light and sturdy!」
「It’s even flexible, making it easy to process.」
「Is that all? It’s waterproof, fireproof, and even insect-repellent!」
「This is what you call the Divine Tree! Ahh…!」
What started as a solution for the endless pile of chopsticks left over from takeout had, by the grace of the Creator, been reborn as top-quality lumber superior to most real woods.
Meanwhile, while others were distracted by the chopsticks, the foreman was carefully inspecting the wood glue.
「No matter how many times I look, this is a wondrous glue. The adhesive strength is on a completely different level than any animal glue. And what kind of ingredients make for such a smooth solution… Plus, it only bonds to wood, and nothing else—truly a miracle.」
Thanks to the Creator’s blessing, the wood glue’s adhesive strength was many times its original.
But, true to its name, “wood glue,” it didn’t stick to anything except wood, so there was absolutely no risk of accidents.
As a result, work efficiency had increased to an unbelievable degree.
Before long, the carpenters shaped the chopsticks to size and set to work building houses right away.
They sorted the chopsticks and forest wood by purpose, and glued them together with wood glue.
A finishing touch of mud was applied to fill in the gaps and harden it—house complete.
In less than an hour, a house was built from start to finish.
With skilled carpenters and the Creator’s blessed materials, work progressed smoothly and swiftly.
“Okay. Got another perfect Mutube angle.”
Let’s see, for the title…….
[Did you know in Korea you can build a house with chopsticks? French carpenters recognize Korea’s superior woodworking skills!]
That should grab plenty of attention.
This video, too, would surely rack up the views.
‘……At this rate, I’m going to be rolling in cash, aren’t I?’
Grinning, I heard Jeanne d’Arc speak up.
“Recording again today, aren’t you? With that mysterious magic called the camcorder, God?”
Unlike the other believers, Jeanne was extremely sensitive to my presence.
Just the other day, when I yawned softly, she worried I was overexerting myself.
I’d simply explained the camcorder filming as “recording the daily lives of the believers.”
「It’s a little strange, that even the all-powerful God leaves behind records. Ah, I absolutely don’t mean that in a bad way!」
“Um……. Well, this is…….”
I was wondering how to explain it, when—
「Me, me! Let me guess! The answer is: You want to show it to the angels!」
Just then, Anna jumped into the conversation.
Seeing her innocent face, both Jeanne d’Arc and I naturally smiled, like proud parents.
「Anna, what do you mean? You think God leaves records to show the angels?」
「Yeah! You know how, when something fun happens, I always tell my sister right away? So I bet God wants to brag to the angels about all the things we did together!」
Jeanne d’Arc nodded, her face suggesting it made sense.
I nodded, too.
“Wow, Anna, you really are smart. That’s exactly right.”
「Yay! I got it right—!」
「Good job, Anna.」
I just glossed over it.
Not that it was completely wrong, anyway.
‘Of course, the people watching this video are definitely not angels, but still.’
At that moment, the working believers burst into an excited cheer.
The very last house in the Sanctuary was complete.
—DING!

At last, the Sanctuary Village was complete.
The Sanctuary Residents cheered with bright, excited faces.
Since this was the result of everyone working together, struggling side by side for a week, the joy was even greater.
Then, Jeanne d’Arc declared in a clear, ringing voice.
「Everyone, let’s designate today as the birth of the Sanctuary!」
「Waa-! An anniversary! Sis, does that mean we’ll have a party?」
Seeing Anna’s innocent delight, the villagers laughed cheerfully.
「Of course! We can’t let the Sanctuary’s birth go by without a celebration!」
「That’s right! It’s the Sanctuary’s very first anniversary! Let’s throw a big festival, in gratitude to our merciful God!」
「Actually, we caught some wild boar in the forest—just in time! Let’s use this meat!」
「I also caught a lot of fish today!」
「We have loads of fruits and vegetables too!」
In an instant, the village was swept up in a festive mood.
“Hmm, it wouldn’t be a proper party without plenty of meat.”
I immediately returned to the real world and rummaged through my kitchen cupboards.
Then, I sent several cans of Spam through the regular transmission.
Before long,
THUD!
A gigantic hunk of Spam materialized in the center of the Sanctuary.
The believers stared with jaws dropped at the house-sized mass of Spam.
Watching, Jeanne d’Arc soon put on a serene expression and offered a prayer.
「God, today’s festival is an offering of gratitude to You. Please, join us.」
“Of course. But today’s offering should be delicious food, okay?”
「I’ll cook it myself and present it to God. I’ll show off my skills, so please look forward to it!」
Jeanne d’Arc rolled up her sleeves and gave a bright smile.
Soon after, campfires were lit all over the Sanctuary, and preparations for festival foods began.
‘……Well then, before I enjoy the festival, I’d better take care of a certain problem.’
Amid the bustle of festival preparations, I quietly observed the area outside the village.
In a thicket some distance away from the village.
There, around fifty strangers were hiding themselves.
All men.
And every last one of them had a rather unsavory look about them.
At first, I thought they might be people who’d heard the rumors of the Sanctuary and wanted to join the village.
That was before I noticed they were armed with deadly weapons.
‘No way would people looking to join the village arrive carrying weapons.’
As the saying goes, sweet fruit inevitably attracts worms.
Of course, there was no way I would let my newly finished village be soiled by these muddy boots.
“Now, how shall I deal with them…….”
I gazed slowly at the cockroaches who’d sneaked into the Sanctuary.
DING!
