Adrian stood before his divine dashboard, watching the map pulse with activity. Arcantor was fully integrated. Eldoria had converted. Viremont was climbing. But this wasn't just growth—it was infrastructure deployment.
He wasn't building temples.
He was laying divine fiber.
Each kingdom had its own needs, its own culture, its own rhythm. Adrian's system adapted to them all. His AI localized interfaces, translated content, and adjusted coin rewards based on regional economics. The Internet wasn't just expanding—it was embedding.
He launched a new initiative: [Divine Infrastructure Protocol].
It was a standardized rollout plan for new regions. Each protocol included:
Education Package: [School], [Library], and [Mystic Melody], tailored to local dialects and curriculum.
Communication Suite: [Carrier Pigeon], [Trade Beacon], and [GuildNet], optimized for merchants, guilds, and diplomats.
Challenge Module: [Fear Trial], [Pulse], and [iMonster Arena], calibrated to local combat styles and psychological profiles.
Blessing Grid: A regional [Blessing Store] with curated offerings based on climate, profession, and cultural values.
The protocol was designed to be plug-and-play. Emissaries could deploy it in a town within hours. Teachers received training. Merchants got onboarding kits. Guilds were given trial passes.
Adrian also introduced [Node Certification].
Any town or city that reached a threshold of active users, prayer volume, and infrastructure stability could apply for certification. Certified nodes received enhanced blessings, priority updates, and access to experimental apps.
The first certified node outside Arcantor was Eldoria's capital, Luminaris. The announcement triggered a wave of applications. Towns competed to meet the criteria. Local leaders began investing in education, connectivity, and divine engagement.
Adrian's Divine Power surged.
He wasn't just a god.
He was a utility.
The Divine School watched in silence. Other gods scrambled to adapt. Some tried to copy his model. Others sought alliances. A few began negotiating for app slots within the Internet ecosystem.
Adrian reviewed their proposals.
Most were rejected.
He wasn't building a marketplace of gods.
He was building a civilization.
And only those who understood infrastructure, scalability, and user empowerment would be allowed in.
