On a Godless Planet: Planet Crafting with Senpai and Me (1-A) (1-B)

The Story so Far:

It is 1990 in Tachikawa. While the possibility of terraforming extraterrestrial planets is being investigated, Sumeragi Izumi, a 2nd year in high school, has enjoyed his summer break. A beautiful and busty “Senpai” moves in next door and he ends up meeting her again in a new VR game where Senpai and a guide AI called Balancer informs him that Tachikawa and the rest of the world are a VR space created by Balancer. Humanity has already entered outer space and an AI-run terraforming has begun while humanity is in cold sleep.

But the other planets are already occupied by data entities known as “planetary spirits” and only the Earth-born data entities known as “gods” can resist those spirits. Currently, the gods created by Balancer are working on the terraforming, but the gods and Balancer created Sumeragi as a human worshiper to strengthen the gods. In other words, Senpai and the other club members are all gods. This revelation excites Sumeragi, but then an inspector from the Divine Council (DC) arrives to take control of the terraforming. Sumeragi and the others manage to reject the inspector’s demands, but Sumeragi himself is killed. He is resurrected through the terraforming system, but he has lost a portion of his memories and has forgotten all about Senpai.

Meanwhile, it is discovered that Senpai’s true identity is Iwanaga-hime, who shortened humanity’s lifespan. Since she might shorten Sumeragi’s lifespan, she hides at the Terraforming site where the planetary spirits are running wild.

While she awaits her forced return, Sumeragi regains his memories, reaches her, and convinces her to work with him once more. Through his faith, Senpai “manifests as a god” for the first time and repels the flame dragons that are the planetary spirits. The terraforming will now be centered on those two.



'''Word

*Terraforming

“Modifying a planet to be livable for humans. Humanity wants to do this to planets out in space now that Earth’s environment has worsened.”

*Rollback

“The act of resurrecting Sumeragi from a backup when he dies. As a special bonus, I’ve made it so he changes sex when he eats a banana.”


'''What?

*About the Terraforming

[[Image:godless_kuwajiri.png|50px]]

“So far, the terraforming work has included understanding how this star system came to be and figuring out what to do about the planet’s rotation and revolution. This is all foundational stuff, including the reason why we can’t let the planet freeze or overheat.”

“The next task is to hold a lecture on how the planet will change based on the exact actions and decisions made.”

*About Mythology

“Mythologies were not created individually. They spread and changed over time as humanity migrated around the world and various cultures spread with them. We also discussed the Pangaea Mythology, the foundation of human myths that began the various ancient mythologies.”

*About Other Things

“The Norse group and the one true god were working with Shinto to begin with, but our Mesopotamian group joined them later.”


'''Newcomer!

*Game Club Members

Sumeragi’s upperclassmen and classmates belong to the game club. They are mostly Norse gods, but there is the one true god and other gods as well. These are the “original members”.

*Mesopotamians

They arrived to inspect the terraforming or take certain privileges, but they joined after some fighting and negotiating. Inspector Eshtar continues to work as an inspector so she can act as an intermediary with the DC.
