Upon realizing the gods' misunderstanding, I quickly clarified, "Harem?! Wait! You thought I wanted an actual harem with you?! No, no, no, I was just joking!" The chat room, which had been filled with a mix of excitement and embarrassment, suddenly shifted. The gods, who had eagerly entertained the notion, now faced a moment of realization and embarrassment themselves. The chat box showed:

{Odyssey, the God of Love and Beauty, covered their face with both hands in sheer embarrassment. "Oh, dear! I... I misunderstood. My apologies, Loila. I never meant to presume anything."},

{Leon, the God of Chaos and Destruction, scratched his head awkwardly, his blush not entirely fading. "Well, this is awkward. I, uh, guess I got carried away. Sorry, Loila."},

{Mond, the God of Art, laughed nervously, his artistic enthusiasm dampened. "Ah, a jest! How amusing. I see... My apologies for any confusion, Loila."},

{Felicit, the God of Fortune, grinned sheepishly, his earlier excitement now replaced with a more subdued expression. "Well, that got interesting. Sorry for the assumption, Loila."},

{Oman, the God of Benevolence, maintained a warm smile, his demeanor unfazed. "No harm done, Loila. We may have misunderstood, but your playful spirit is always welcome in our divine company."}

"Ah, okay, so gods can misunderstand too," I chuckled nervously, feeling a bit relieved that the situation had lightened up. "Um, also about the name thing, why not just choose all?" After I said that the chat room was silent for a little while, and then Temmy, who had been silent throughout the exchange, finally responded, "Loila, that is an excellent idea! The gods have agreed to bestow upon you all the suggested names, each carrying its unique significance and blessing. From this day forth, you shall be known as Loila Iniko Sahana Aella Amedeo Kalista Florence Thalia Minerva Floyd, Empress of the Gods, ruler of all."

Noticing something I asked Temmy, "You took away my middle name 'Anoni' But you didn't do the same for 'Iniko'. Why?""Ah, Loila," Temmy responded with a hint of playfulness, "the gods decided to preserve 'Iniko' as it holds a special significance. It means 'born during troubled times' or 'troublemaker,' and they found it fitting for a ruler who brings chaos and joy in equal measure. Consider it a divine touch to your array of names, a reminder of the unpredictability that accompanies your reign." Confused as I was I asked "But isn't it supposed to mean worthless or unnamed, even my original name Loila means an unnamed child"

Temmy nodded, understanding the question. "Indeed, Loila. The gods, recognizing your extraordinary nature, have imbued 'Iniko' with new significance, symbolizing your resilience and inner strength. As for 'Anoni,' its origin being a creation of the gods themselves made it immutable. Thus, they chose to remove it, allowing your name to reflect the empowerment and purpose that define your existence. 'Iniko,' now stands as a testament to your unknown yet ultimate existence, a beacon of mystery and power."

Understanding all of it now I asked one more question out of curiosity, "So do I have any titles and all that stuff, I already know I am the daughter of the Duke of Felanaire, but is there anything else?" When I started this, the gods, in unison, began listing titles and honors they deemed fitting for my newfound status:

{The God of Love and Beauty, Odyssey, suggests "The Divine Muse of Eternity."}

{The God of Chaos and Destruction, Leon, proposes "The Unyielding Force of Chaos."}

{The God of Art, Mond, recommends "The Living Canvas of Creation."}

{The God of Fortune, Felicit, contributes "The Beacon of Prosperity."}

{The God of Benevolence, Oman, offers "The Compassionate Ruler of Hearts."}

And then, to my surprise, they collectively declared,
