Chapter 4: Problem in Awakening
Aiden, whose eyes just met with the goddess, suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his body as he tried to stand the pressure, only to fall again as he gritted his teeth and tried to move his head to look into her eyes, only to be disappointed again as he could not move his head up. Suddenly, a divine voice sounded in front of him.
"You are lucky that I have not obliterated your soul for thinking such indecent thoughts about me, and be thankful to meet the great me!" She puffed her cheek cutely as she seemed to be mad at him, but Aiden had no idea that he had missed such a rare sight that no one in the universe had ever seen it.
While Aiden thought to himself, 'Oh! Fuck, how can I have forgotten she can read my mind, but she looks like a goddess
While reading his thoughts, a small smile appeared on her face, but it quickly went away, even though she had not noticed her smile while thinking.
'At least he has good eyes.' Then she released the pressure on Aiden's body feeling a little better from the praises in his mind.
Aiden feels the pressure on his body disappear as he quickly stands to face the goddess again, as only pure admiration for beauty can be seen in his eyes, and the goddess is also quite satisfied with his reaction but that makes him feel weird and many thoughts appeared in his mind wanted him to worship her and even go as far as to die for her but he resisted those thoughts.
Suddenly, her plump pink lips opened. "You can ask two questions, and I will answer your questions."
After listening to her voice, Aiden seemed to be in deep thought, with a serious look on his face as he said in a serious voice"Okay." unaware of his being affected by her charm that she tried to control as much as she can not to affect even while being in this weakened state but their power difference is very huge.
After thinking for a few seconds, Aiden looked right into her eyes and asked his first question, "How can I get strong enough to revive my mother back to life?"
"Hmm, good question. As of right now, your world seems to have no mana or Qi present, but your world seems to be on the verge of evolving, as its first evolution will start almost 5 years later. After that, with the help of the system, you will know how to get stronger," the goddess said while looking at his face, which seemed quite calm and satisfied with her choice.
He is thinking about the second question he wanted to ask her and currently, he just wants to ask her 'Can I die for you goddess' but deep in his mind he knows that this is not his real thought at the end he asks her a stupid question wasting his attempt struggling to think straight in front for her.
"Ok, and my second question is, how can I get you to become my girlfriend?" Aiden said it with a straight face while looking straight into her eyes affected by her charm.
Goddess, who seemed to not believe her ears, what she just heard as she yelled at the top of her lungs with a beat-red face while waving her hands, "Get out of here, you shameless child," as Aiden, who saw her yelling with a blush on her face, suddenly disappeared from his place.
She knows even if she tried to control her charm to limit it still would affect this weak mortal child but that is not the response she had expected it took her by surprise and she is a little impressed that he is a little bit aware of his being affected usually for a mortal they wouldn't even be aware of it still she said in her captivating voice thinking about his question earlier.
"Hmph! In the future, I will be sure to teach this shameless child a lesson," she said while covering her face with her hands, and as she remembered, his talent awakening was about to happen in a few minutes.
She started giggling to herself, "Hehehehehehe."
Aiden found himself standing in the same place as he was before as if confirming his guess that the place was not real but it seemed very real and he found it confusing. He shrugged his shoulders while thinking to himself, "When I am powerful enough, I will naturally know.'
As Aiden remembered the blushing face of the beautiful goddess, he said out loud, "She was very cute," because even if he thought about it in his mind, the goddess would still listen.
He also realized that he had wasted his second question being affected by something but still, he regretted it as much because he had asked the most important question.
Thinking for a while about his earlier question that she didn't answer he would sure to get her reply in the future as the idea of having a 'Sugar Mommy' who is strong enough that he couldn't even fathom it and she should be very rich also so he liked the idea very much.
Coming out of his thoughts he focused on the blue screen in front of him.
[ Talent Awakening starts in 5 min, 35 sec ]
Looking at the message in front of him, Aiden realizes that only a few seconds had passed in outside-world time while he was in the mysterious place.
The goddess, who listened to him say she was cute, started blushing while sitting on the throne as she chose to ignore him, knowing his shameless behavior.
But she failed due to listening to his thinking about her being his sugar mommy and 'hmph' in response to this and sat quietly on her throne deep in thoughts that no one knew what she was thinking right now.
A monotonous feminine voice sounded in Aiden's mind.
[ Prepare yourself for the Talent Awakening. It's going to be pretty painful for you, host, and do not lose consciousness while awakening. ]
Aiden, who heard the system voice, thought, 'System is like an AI, a pretty powerful one at that'
The goddess, who listened to his thoughts, said in his mind with a dissatisfied tone, "Don't compare your mortal toys with the creation of the great me. It can do far more than you can imagine, hmph! Stupid!
And it will unlock more of its functions when you are powerful enough, and as your cultivation realm increases and you can live thousands or even millions of years, ignorant mortals, be thankful of great me."
Aiden, who listened to her haughty voice, thought to himself, 'If she doesn't open her mouth, anyone will fall in love with her at first sight, and in the future, I will be sure to make her moan under me'
He dared not say it out loud because he didn't know what his haughty goddess would do to him, as he had no ability to resist her as he was an ant in front of her.
He remembered meeting her in the mysterious place, as she seemed almost like a god and had no intention of harming him.
because if she had any intention of harming him, she could do it without even lifting her finger, and she didn't do anything, which meant she needed him for some reason.
If a being of her caliber needs him, that means he has to be powerful enough to help her.
While becoming powerful, he will also revive his mother to life, and when the time comes, he will face whatever schemes she will throw at him because he doesn't believe there is a free lunch in the world, as he knows nothing comes without a price.
He has read many history books and he knows human nature is not always white; there is more black than white, and history is proof of that.
His mom raised him well enough to see reality clearly, but he doesn't know if this haughty goddess is human or not. Thinking about his mother, he knows this stupid goddess is the reason for his mom's death, and he's powerless in front of her.
The feeling of being helpless is not one he likes, and he doesn't want to feel helpless in front of anyone ever again.
That's why he didn't blame her for his mom's death, and the idea of living millions of years with his mother and sister feels very heavenly to him.
He will make full use of the system any way he can, and he swore to himself he will become strong enough to protect both his mother and sister.
The idea of living a peaceful life with them for millions of years makes him very excited.
Aiden's breath becomes haggard as he thinks, 'This is an opportunity for him, and he must seize it.
While Goddess, who pretty much guessed what he was going through in his emotional turmoil, said to herself
"This child is pretty good except for being pretty shameless and naughty."
Remembering his thoughts of her moaning under him, her face suddenly turned deep red as she yelled in her empty throne room.
"How dare he make me think about such a vulgar thing?" She thought of seeing his face while he awakened his talent and started giggling to herself.
A few minutes have passed, and Aiden, who is staring at the blue screen in front of him with a deep look on his face,
[Talent Awakening starts in 10 seconds.]
[ 9 Sec., 8 Sec., 3 Sec. ]
Aiden was currently standing with a calm and determined look on his face, and the goddess was also observing him with a serious look on her beautiful face.
[ 2 sec, 1 sec, 0 sec ]
[ TALENT AWAKENING STARTED ]
Inside the mysterious space, the goddess sat on her throne, her body emitting a radiant, rainbow-colored glow that slowly started to merge with Aiden's soul.
Aiden, who was ready for hell's pain, didn't feel anything, and more messages started appearing in front of his eyes.
[ TALENT-AWAKENING SUCCESSFUL ]
[ AWAKENED Talent: Water Affinity (A+) ]
Aiden, who saw the message, said out loud, "Well, that was easy. I think I am a genius, of course, as expected of myself."
The goddess who heard his narcissist comment had an evil smile on her face, but the smile didn't look evil on her face, as it made her even cuter, as the glow emitting from her body intensified and started merging with Aiden's soul faster.
Outside Aiden, who had just praised himself, had new messages in front of his eyes, but this time the message was in red.
