An incoherent thought forms in your mind before you quickly forget it away. The curses are clearly messing with your head.

>Go Forest, Left

>Ask the deities to identify themselves or allow yourself to die

Somehow you know you were never one for suicide, so you discard that part of that thought. The other parts sends flashes of images into your mind, overwhelming you, before calming down. To the best of their capabilities they slowly coalesce these six images in your mind.

The rotten corpse of a little girl.
A scholar covered in burns.
A great brilliant serpent.
A beastman hidden in dust.
A mother covered in moss.
An ancient behemoth surrounded by darkness.

You get off-road and enter the forest directly to your left. You move through the birch forest with only the light of the stars to guide you. You manage to catch glimpse of wildlife, but it quickly escapes before you can examine it better.

You come to a stop when you find a bunch of bushes filled with all kinds of berries. You decide to stop here, before continuing any further. The birch trees seem to grow thicker and taller in that direction and release an unnatural taste into the air. The deities tell you there is a great danger deeper into the forest.

As you try to move deeper into the forest you begin to feel very weak. The gods are slowly withdrawing their Divine Protection, making the curses increase in power. You bend you knee in weakness an then fall to the ground. You crawl back to the bushes and rest for there for a seconds, regaining your strength as the protections return.

It seems like the gods won't help you with your foolishness.

>You have yet to clear the tutorial.

Exploring the bushes and the area around it you find:
> 19 mature Blueberries.
> An assortment of 45 unidentified non-poisonous berries from the bushes.
> One Watermelon.

All the gods except the Behemoth and the Brilliant Serpent desire these as sacrifices. You also find:
> 23 pink-white berries growing on the birch trees identified as poisonous by the Corpse Girl Goddess, which she desires as an sacrifice.
> One log filled with maggots desired by the Behemoth as an sacrifice.

You pick all the berries and store it in your bag. It strangely feels full.

>You've filled your inventory!

You try to eat but find out you don't know if you can eat or not.

>You don't know your race yet!

You try to make some paint for putting on your body and intimidating your enemies, but you don't know how to do that yet.

>You don't have that skill yet!

You bend your knee to the corpse girl goddess and begin to recite a few prayers. Half of them come naturally to you, while the rest she guides you through them. She seems pleased as you go along.

Then you misnomer her domain with something completly heinous. She grows irate and your mind begins to flow with the images and emotions behind countless atrocities for what seems like an eternity. In reality only a single second passed, as the other deities pacify her and your mind returns to normal.

You ask for forgiveness from the Corpse Girl Goddess. She refuses to accept it, until you promise that you will sacrifice a stylish dress to her.

You return to small path with the wooden platform where you manifested from and it's still there. You grab the metal blade with your right hand. You try to stuff the wooden platform in your bag, but the rim is unwieldy against it.

>Your inventory is too full! You will need to use or throw away one item to free up enough space to pick that.

You consider for a moment trying again going deeper into the forest, but quickly discard that thought. From the strength of the curses that are wrecking your body and the considerable higher power of the Divine Protection granted by the gods you know that you won't survive the trip.

go to the house

>Die on your feet rather than live on your knees

__________________

You discard another pointless suicidal thought. You know that you always lived on your knees and you're comfortable and even confident in that.

You abandon the wooden platform to it's fate and head towards the home, taking close to five minutes to reach it. At the end of the road you find a wooden fence crawling with vines and you enter through the gate.

The gothic-style family home with two floors is in a well-kept state, but it feels a bit abandoned, with all the weeds starting to grow around it. As you think about the age of the weed you hear the words "two weeks" coming into your mind from the Mother goddess. You can see a large apple tree to the side, empty of any fruit.

You hear the grumble of the gods pestering you for sacrifices.

If we don't know how to perform the/a sacrifice,

>Pray & Ask the gods how they want their sacrifices performed
THEN
>Perform the sacrifice(s) to the appropriate god(s)

You sit and put the bag on you lap and empty the bag in front of you. You pray to the gods and offer the food to them, singing half-remembered, half-guided prayers to their power.

>The Corpse Girl takes seven Pink White Poisonous Berries
>The Burned Scholar takes eight Blueberries
>The Brilliant Serpent is disgusted by your offering.
>The Dusty Beastman takes the Mature Watermelon and eight Blueberries
>The Moss Mother takes six Unidentified Non-Poisonous Berries.
>The Ancient Behemoth shows no interest in your offering.

You store everything else back in your inventory.

explore the house

You enter the house and find the insides covered in dust and cobwebs. The entrance is a long hallway with two dressers and stairs at the end. There are two doors parallel to each other in the middle of the hallway and another beneath the stairs.

The Corpse Girl warns you of a danger below and the presence of lost souls above. The Brilliant Serpent whispers you about treasure and the Burned Scribe about knowledge located in this home.
