>Introduce yourself as Atë“Atë,” you say, firmly grasping his hand. He smiles, apparently feeling your sincerity.
“One more wienerschnitzel for the lady, on me!” Perdix calls back to the restaurant owner.
“Now, let me answer your question. I don’t plan on sticking around. Have you seen <Divine Domain> in the shop?”
You shake your head, he continues:
“World domination is fine and all, but, ultimately, it’s kinda pointless unless you’re gathering power just for the sake of it. Once you hit the higher levels of <Divine Domain>, you basically become a god in there. Remember that orphanage I was talking about?”
You nod, “The one you grew up in, right?”
He smiles, “That’s the one. After Ms. Bovet passed, I had to pick up the slack on paying for things. Apparently, Bovet incurred quite a bit of debt just keeping things afloat, and with some pretty unsavory people at that. At first I just ‘cleaned up’ the problem, but after a certain amount of time it became unsafe for the kids to go out. So,” a madness flares in his eyes, “I moved the orphanage.”
“...to your divine domain?” you ask, unable to completely hide your shock.
He nods, “I leveled up quickly by doing quests- at first, it was only big enough for one building where I could safely house the kids before I dropped them off at school, but eventually,it got so big and so customizable that I was able to take an entire village. It was easy- the place was already in the dumps, and they were basically being harassed out of their homes by some mining company who wanted the land they were on.”
“So you just took them in?”
“Yep, just like that. The best part- nobody in the domain can break the rules- of course, they can leave any time, but why would they? Shops that constantly restock with free food and supplies doled out by robotic clerks that do all the manual labor for them- but with the option to make money in exchange for luxury goods, beautiful scenery, no pollution or debts or homelessness or worries. The place is a paradise- my paradise.”
This guy might be a bit insane.
