So heh those who know lord of mysteries lore deeply would know those that do not welp hope this is enough motivation I usually don't recommend chinesse light novels most are really bad quality but cuttlefish that loves diving is one of few expections that defies the quality standart when it comes to their light novel culture his prestige is well deserved

(How I imagine a gathering between the modern earth individuals would go - The gods who had survived the cataclysm and are from modern earth and the gods who transmigrated.)
Scene: A long wooden table in a candle-lit hall. Plates of cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, and bottles of Coke and Dr. Pepper sit across the table - Klein pulled them from the Historical Void. The gods sit around, their divine aura dimmed so they can eat in peace.
Ancient Sun God (leaning back, voice heavy with memory):
"I still remember the glow of the city lights at night. Skyscrapers piercing the heavens, cars flooding the streets… even the noise was comforting, compared to the silence of eternity."
Lilith (nodding, wistful):
"The warmth of coffee in the morning. The smell of rain on asphalt. I sometimes miss those little things more than the grandeur of thrones and sequences."
Farbauti (gruff, quiet):
"Cold air biting your face, the world falling away, mountains like the bones of the earth… for a moment you are flying, freer than any throne of heaven. Just a man...snowboarding with his friends."
Amansises (Evernight Goddess) (softly):
"Yes… and the endless night skies were different there. The stars were farther away, but somehow… more human."
Roselle (leaning forward suddenly, with a grin):
"So, uh… did you guys have TikTok? I was kind of a big deal... Fifty thousand followers."
(Everyone pauses. Ancient Sun God slowly blinks. Lilith raises an eyebrow. Farbauti stares in stone silence. Amansises exhales through her nose. Klein covers his face with his hand and lampoons inwardly.)
Klein (deadpan):
"Roselle, we're reminiscing about humanity… not your thirst for attention."
Roselle (ignoring him, waving a fry):
"No, but seriously, maybe you saw my account? I did historical reenactments - very educational. I had one where I dressed up as Napoleon and danced - "
Amansises (shaking her head slowly):
"Your follies transcend worlds."
Ancient Sun God (muttering):
"And yet, history remembers you."
(The gods go back to quietly eating. The mood regains its gravity.)
Lilith (gazing at her cola):
"I miss the laughter of ordinary people. Friends gathering, unaware of destiny's weight."
Roselle (mouth full of pizza):
"Yeah, same. Also, I really miss Wi-Fi."
(Everyone stares at him again. Farbauti finally sets down his drink, his deep voice rumbling across the table.)
Farbauti (flat, unimpressed):
"Of all things to mourn, you choose the internet. Typical Gen Z brat... Truly, the pantheon is blessed to dine with such depth of thought."
(Roselle sputters defensively, Klein laughs into his drink, Amansises hides a smile, and even the Ancient Sun God's lips twitch. The nostalgia softens into shared laughter as the gods keep eating.)
