Earth’s Divine Jailor

Luke voted to be left alone.

“I’m not interested in conquering anything. Let the ‘Arbiter’ punish me if I make a mistake,” Luke thought to himself.

“Times Up,” Thoth shouted.

Pop!

All 100 notepads and quills disappeared.

“Finally,” Hades said with a sigh.

“Ooh, I hope it’s the Test options. Luke could pass any morality test with ease,” Persephone said to herself.

But her husband overheard her.

“The test option? Don’t be silly. The Jailor option is better,” Hades said hotly.

“Oh really?”Persephone said getting ready to argue, but Luke interrupted.

“Excuse me … Persephone, what is a “Jailor of the Gods’?” Luke asked curiously.

“I don’t know for sure. I believe it’s the job title they’ll give you if you were to ‘Soul-Link’ evil demi-gods and **** them to do good. A dumb job title for a dumb job,” Persephone said before turning back to Hades.

“Dumb? Don’t say that. I can think of a hand full of evil gods trapped or imprisoned. All because no one can kill them. If we had a Devine-level Jinn-binder to ‘Soul-Link’ bad eggs the world would be a safer place,” Hades said happily.

Luke listened to the fighting couple before his attention was grabbed by Thoth walking to the center of the stage. A moment later the Demi-god opened the ‘Golden Scroll’.

“The results are in,” Thoth said before holding up his scroll.

The room when quiet.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this noble gathering has come to a verdict. We Gods of Earth have found … Luke Smith the God of Siring, not guilty of wrongly enslaving Aphrodite. Nor do we find his ‘Harem Enslavement’ ability as a current danger. Instead … this gathering is offering the God of Siring a Job. A new job as … Earth’s Divine Jailor,” Thoth shouted before giving a dramatic pause.

“Luke Smith step forward,” Thoth said snapping his fingers.

Pop!

“Luke’s avatar was teleported beside Thoth.

Luke was surprised by the sudden shift but quickly recovered.

“Life Wizard Luke Smith, you are a Demi-god of Earth. Your peers have voted to not kill you out of fear of your binding powers. They have instead voted to use your enslavement power for the benefit of all. What say you? Do you accept the offer of peace and accept the responsibilities of a ‘Divine Jailor’? Or do you instead reject it?” Thoth said before presenting Luke the ‘Golden Scroll’.

Luke didn’t reply, stead he glanced down at the scroll. The scroll showed everything Thoth just said. But at the bottom was a blank space. Luke looked back up, but Thoth’s eyes were closed.

“Well shit,” Luke thought as he scanned the room.

There were a lot of mixed emotions in the crowd. But Luke didn’t like how many of the angry faces he spotted.

Luke’s mind raced: “Yes or No? … This is moving way too fast … How did I make so many enemies so quickly … I don’t want to put my women and children in danger …”.

Luke was about to speak out loud but remembered his ‘Telepathy’ powers.

“Thoth, If I accept, none of the gods on Earth will attack me or mine on the grounds of my ‘Harem Enslavement’ powers?” Luke thought into Thoth’s mind.

Thoth looked up.

“Yes … in theory,” Thoth whispered with a nod.

“How many bad gods will I have to ‘Soul-Link’ if I accept?” Luke thought to Thoth.

“I don’t know. Truly evil or chaotic demi-gods are rare. Maybe 1 every 500 years. But then a pantheon is necessary to condemn a god to imprisonment,” Thoth whispered.

The crowd watched as Luke and Thoth exchanged looks and whispers.

“Hey, no funny business Bird Face!” Thor the Norse God of War and Thunder shouted.

“I voted for a Jailor for Loki. I am tired of him causing earthquakes. If I don’t get a Jailor to make him stop, I am going to take off that Jinn Fucker’s head,” Thor shouted.

Many gods joined in and began shouting. With that Thoth looked around and sighed.

“Sorry Luke, please choose. If I explain any more, I will not be impartial,” Thoth whispered before standing straight.

“One last question, what stops me from using the bad gods I fuck as my personal army of evil-doers?” Luke thought to the Egyptian God of Learning and Wisdom.

“No fucking clue, this wasn’t my idea, it’s just the suggestion that won the popular vote,” Thoth whispered.

Luke was taken aback. Persephone was right. This is dumb.

“Both choices sucked. Get attacked now for being a Demi-god with binding powers. Or get attacked later after enslaving a bunch of evil gods,” Luke thought in defeat.

“Jinn Fucker stop stalling!” Thor shouted over the crowd.

“Guess, I should build an army if I am going to be attacked,” Luke thought giving a sigh.

“I Accept!” Luke yelled.

With that Thoth’s ‘Golden Scroll’ shined bright as Luke’s name appeared on its surface.
