Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Building the Network

Adrian stood at the edge of Arcantor's capital, watching the sun rise over the rooftops. The city was waking up, and so was his system. Thousands of users were logging in, praying, messaging, reading, and earning Internet Coins. The blue screens flickered across the streets like lanterns of divine light.

But Arcantor was only one kingdom.

Adrian knew that if he wanted to dominate this world's divine landscape, he had to expand. Not through conquest. Not through sermons. Through infrastructure.

He began with emissaries.

He selected a handful of trusted users—scholars, merchants, and mages—and gave them access to a new app: [Mission]. It allowed them to travel to neighboring towns and kingdoms, equipped with a divine trailer that showcased the Internet's features. Inside the trailer were holographic demonstrations of [Library], [Carrier Pigeon], [Fear Trial], and the [Blessing Store].

The trailer was more than a tool—it was a spectacle. When it arrived in a new town, people gathered to see the glowing blue screen, the floating icons, and the interactive displays. Children touched the screen and laughed. Elders stared in awe. Nobles took notes.

Adrian incentivized the emissaries with Internet Coins. The more users they converted, the more coins they earned. Some of them became so powerful from blessings that they advanced from apprentice mages to arcane mages in a matter of weeks.

The network began to spread.

Adrian created a divine map in his cabin—a glowing interface that showed every believer as a dot. Arcantor was a dense cluster. The neighboring towns were growing. The outer kingdoms had scattered dots, like seeds waiting to bloom.

He introduced a new feature: [iMonsters].

These were digital familiars—creatures that users could summon, feed, train, and evolve. Each iMonster had elemental affinities and unique abilities. The squirrel was agile and wind-based. The griffin was fierce and dark-aligned. The fox wielded fire. The dragon controlled water.

Users bonded with their iMonsters, naming them, customizing them, and using them in [Fear Trial] and other apps. The creatures became companions, protectors, and status symbols.

Adrian designed the evolution system carefully. iMonsters could evolve through usage, prayer, and exposure to divine energy. Their final forms were majestic—creatures worthy of legends.

The Internet wasn't just spreading.

It was becoming culture.

Adrian's Divine Power surged. His AI tracked user behavior, optimized app performance, and began suggesting new features. The system was alive, adaptive, and growing faster than any temple or church could ever hope to match.

He wasn't just building a religion.

He was building a civilization.

And the world was starting to notice.
