Minaga’s absolutely shocking reveal left them all dumbstruck for a moment as Jake acted amazed.

“I cannot believe that the dungeon master, who refers to Primordials by their names, created an entire section of Nevermore, displayed skills above anything a mortal possible could while sparring the Sword Saint, and has acted like a semi-divine being this entire time was actually a god,” Jake said with utter befuddlement. “Where were the signs!?”

“I know, I know, and I do feel genuinely apologetic that I had to keep this secret, but I feared it would impact you negatively if you knew from the beginning I was truly a god,” Minaga said, shaking his head.

“Could the fact that you could create different avatars have been a clue?” Jake questioned himself.

“Ah, to be fair, that wasn’t an avatar. In fact, I don’t make avatars,” Minaga said, waving off the notion. “The entire sentiment of avatar-creation just seems so unnecessary when you are Minaga.”

“I do want to ask you what you mean by that, considering it is clearly a leading question, but I would honestly rather wait and see the sweet loot you promised,” Jake said, Minaga looking slightly disappointed.

“Sure you don’t wanna know my big secret? It isn’t actually a secret, mind you, but something everyone who knows about me is aware of, but I still like to call it my big secret for sentimental reasons as it was a big secret once upon a time. Back when I was a mortal, that is. You know, because I am no longer a mortal now. Being a god and all,” Minaga said, staring inquisitively at Jake.

“Loot first,” Jake insisted.

“It’s considered customary to be super respectful to gods, you know.”

“And even more customary for loot to drop after you beat a dungeon, but here we are,” Jake masterfully countered.¨

“Damn loot goblin…” the Unique Lifeform grumbled.

“By the way, why do you keep your voice infused with Willpower even now?” Jake questioned as he found it kind of odd.

“Because I am a god, and it makes me appear more dignified, yet intimidating,” he answered. “But seeing as you don’t seem to respect the culture of the multiverse, I guess that sentiment is wasted on you.”

“Sorry, I guess,” Jake shrugged, unbothered.

“Just for that, you will be the last one to get your loot,” Minaga said with an evil grin.

“Wait, that isn’t fa-“
