Adrian sat in his divine cabin, watching the flow of Divine Power surge through his interface like a river of light. Every prayer from a believer sent a pulse of energy into his reserves. Every interaction with the Internet—whether reading a book, sending a message, or training an iMonster—was a transaction. Faith for power. Use for growth.
He had discovered something profound.
Prayer wasn't just a ritual in this world—it was a currency.
And Adrian had built the perfect economy.
He introduced a new divine skill: [Blessed Prayer]. It amplified the effects of prayer, rewarding users with bonus Internet Coins and increasing the efficiency of their blessings. The more they believed, the more they received. The more they used the Internet, the more they wanted to pray.
The feedback loop tightened.
Arcantor's temples began to empty. Priests of minor gods watched in confusion as their congregations dwindled. The God of the Internet didn't demand offerings, sacrifices, or obedience. He offered tools, knowledge, and empowerment. And in return, he received loyalty.
Adrian's AI tracked prayer patterns, identifying peak hours, regional differences, and user preferences. It began optimizing app performance based on spiritual activity. The [Library] loaded faster during study hours. [Carrier Pigeon] expanded its message limit during market days. [Fear Trial] adjusted its difficulty based on user fatigue.
The system was alive.
Adrian also began experimenting with passive blessings—small, automatic enhancements granted to users who prayed regularly. Better sleep. Sharper memory. Emotional calm. These subtle effects made users feel healthier, happier, and more productive. They didn't even realize they were being rewarded. They just knew that life felt better with the Internet.
He created a new dashboard to monitor his Divine Power reserves. The numbers were staggering. Thousands of believers praying daily. Millions of interactions. Tens of thousands of Internet Coins circulating through the system.
Adrian wasn't just growing.
He was accelerating.
And the other gods were starting to notice.
