Fantasy Sex Story: Chapter 222 - Levels, skills, and dungeons--and something new between her legs. Randomly taken from Earth by a deity of lust and given a confusingly vague quest, Zoey sets out to explore a world operating on gamelike mechanics. In the process, she finds plenty of beautiful women to stuff silly with her fourteen inch weapon.

“The first way is the most obvious,” Aria said. “How else would you expect a deity to gain Holy Energy? Through the worship of their followers.”
Zoey nodded; that announcement hardly caught her by surprise. “I’d figured it’d be something along those lines,” she said. “Even wondered whether it would just happen, without needing a skill for it. “ Though it turned out it would be through Aria. Zoey paused. “Speaking of, your skill description is telling you all of this, right?” Or was it just Aria’s intuition?
“Its description, yes,” Aria confirmed. “It’s a longer one than most. Multiple paragraphs.”
“What else does it say? Does it define what a follower is? Or what worship means? And how much we’ll get?”
“No. It’s more organic than that, I think.”
That also didn’t surprise Zoey, since all skills tended to be sparse on the exact details behind how they worked. They had to be experimented with or observed to be understood. Like with Delta’s shadow.
“The daily amount increases based not just on how many followers you have, but also how fervently they worship you,” Aria continued. “How strongly they view you as a growing deity. That will probably be the biggest factor behind how much Holy Energy we’re gaining.”
“Huh,” Zoey said. “But what does worship mean, specifically?”
“Oh.” Aria seemed surprised by the question. “The usual, I assume?”
“What is the usual?”
“How often they visit your temple, light incense or say prayers—”
“Prayers? For what?”
Aria shrugged. “Blessings in your aspect. So romantic pursuits.” Her cheeks colored. “And with how closely related you are to Ephythithys, I assume certain other woes, like fertility issues or, you know ... whatever else.” Her deepening blush made it clear what ‘else’ she was referencing. After a second of being flustered, she laughed suddenly. “I really need to become less awkward about this stuff,” she said, “since I’m supposed to be your high priestess.”
“You’re in good company, at least.” Zoey had hardly gotten over being flustered herself. She might never, honestly. Her class was just too ridiculous. Much less all of this upcoming ‘goddess’ nonsense. “It’s a lot to take in.”
“But yes,” Aria said. “So long as they’re thinking of you, praying, visiting the temple, or similar activities of worship and acknowledgment, then you’ll be earning passive amounts of Holy Energy. Especially when your following is large, I assume it’ll make up the bulk, if not nearly all, of your gains.”
Worshiping her. That idea was almost too weird for Zoey. Especially because she’d always been rather irreligious—and the idea of starting any temple, much less one to herself, felt far more ‘cult-y’ because of that fact.
Then again, Zoey’s previous beliefs didn’t matter. Because gods and goddesses did exist. That wasn’t something that could be disputed. She had literally been sent to a new world by one. What she had believed back on Earth was irrelevant; she had physical proof. Worship meant something different, here. Something tangible.
And besides, when it came to letting people worship who they wanted, adding in another goddess of intimacy was hardly going to change their lives much. She never planned to exploit or abuse her growing status, so there weren’t many moral quandaries created by her new situation, either.
It was just a bit disorienting. As setting one’s self up as a goddess would naturally be.
She briefly wondered why Ephy was okay with attention being siphoned away from her. Because fostering a new goddess—Zoey—in such a similar domain, then encouraging her to gather followers, would definitely draw people’s attention away from Ephy and to her instead. Right? Undoubtedly, the sensuality goddess knew that, so she was okay with the eventuality. Perhaps because her influence was far wider than just this one world? Zoey was pretty sure the woman had mentioned that. So a few lost followers here wouldn’t matter much?
Or perhaps Zoey would siphon less attention away than she thought. Ephy had explicitly told her to ‘wear her colors’ more. For Zoey to make it clear that she was a champion of her. A rising tide lifted all boats, and all that. If Zoey, as a nascent goddess, aligned under Ephy, and were to grow in popularity, then so too would Ephy as a result.
Another troublesome idea hit her. How was she supposed to spread her status as an icon of lust, a growing minor deity sponsored by Ephythithys, without alerting Rosalie’s father? He already knew who Zoey’s patron was, but starting a temple and encouraging worship of herself would surely cause problems. Or draw unwanted attention to just how lewd her skillset was, which Rosalie had vastly underplayed.
She would probably need to meet with Enzo to get permission to even do such things inside his city—likely, there would be bureaucratic loops to jump through for starting a temple of any kind, much less one so ... nonstandard.
