Secretly

"Congratulations for coming back alive," the gods with their stores opened near the Sanctuary exit greeted Aiolos. It was a piece of good news for them because a returned god is a stronger god.

No matter they found a Xuanwu Shell or not.

"Thank you - Thank you - Thank you." Aiolos held their hand firmly, one after another until he stands before Tetros.

"Welcome home," Tetros said with a smile on her face. There's a loaf of Cinnamon Roll in her hand, which Tetros made herself using excellent ingredients her holders present to her as their tributes.

Her angelic smile is like a God-Level Fatigue Removal Potion that removes all his fatigue. Aiolos seems to be taller and much more energetic when he stands in front of her.

"Look at that pair of lovebirds. Quickly go and make your oath." one of the gods laughed. To the gods, getting married means taking an oath of partnership. The pledge is sacred to the gods because there will be no cancelation or altercation after that.

They both heard what the god just said. Tetros' cheek blushed the moment she thinks about it.

Consummating their marriage...

Although nobody made any further comment about them, their short-lived act of love quickly ended under their cheers and congratulating words. Tetros followed beside Aiolos as they walked to her shop slowly.

His crest holders vanished before he managed to say something.

[Good job, you guys]

"How was your exploration today?" Tetros asked. To bring her bravery further, she's held her braid from the back all the way to her waist. The differences in height between them only serve as a distraction because of Aiolos' body armor and his neckline.

The brilliant golden seams around the gaps enhanced his figure. With his taller stature, his adam apple looks so attractive, along with that delicious-looking neck. If she's a Beast God who grooms vampires, Aiolos is going to be the best delicacy of hers.

Unfortunately, she's a Food God. Mild tempered, sweet, emotional, and fulfilling is her best trait. She might be lacking in seduction, but again, she forgets about how that narrow cleavage-line of hers almost take Aiolos breath away.

"Aiolos?" Tetros turned her head facing him, only to noticed his evasive gaze. And because she's so plain-minded, Tetros thought that Aiolos is hungry for her bread!

"Take a bite if you're hungry," her angelic smile once again smite Aiolos and his perverted gaze. Aiolos is both ashamed and flustered. He felt lucky for not getting caught, but flustered because of her smile.

"Come! Say - Ahh..." Tetros pinched a piece of the Cinnamon Roll and fed him. Her unconscious action made him open his mouth for the incoming bread, along with the milky-white finger.

"Plop..." Tetros finger slide out from Aiolos' lips. Although it wasn't their first time, they still felt shier than ever.

"Do you think we should get our oath made?" Tetros asked.

"Y - Yes, we should." Aiolos' stuttered. But at the same time, he's happy that Tetros has the same mindset as he does.

They keep walking. The road to Tetros' Grocer became the linking bridge between the two gods in love.

...

Over ten thousand years ago, gods came to this unknown continent.

It was a piece of land with nothing except grasses, malnourished soil, and rocks without a hint of metalloid within. They were barren, quiet, and lifeless.

But there's an exception.

A Cavern, with ten boulders blocking it, is the only place where flowers grow. Life existed only at this place.

The gods pay no heed to that. Resources were brought into this realm and were soon named by the gods as Tianyuan Continent.

The (Tian) they choose representing themselves, the gods, and the (Yuan) stands for Origin. It was the most glorious period this piece of unknown, untamed land, which now named Tianyuan.

Ten of them.

Ancient Life God - Ancient Time God - Ancient Space God, establish the Cycle of life and death, day and night, and flow of time in this realm.

Ancient Sky God - Ancient Land God - Ancient Sea God - Ancient Creation God, create places, air, food, and everything to kickstart the life of mortals.

The Ancient Star God plucks the sky to creates an eclipse every 1,000th days and positioned the Sun and moon to accompany the Day and Night.

Meanwhile, Ancient Tool God turns his blood into stones, metals, and gems. The Ancient Food God followed. Food came to Tianyuan, converted from his blood into all kinds of edibles.

But then, the eleventh god Raven Sarira came.

He pranks the gods.

And the first to be done by him is the Ancient Creation God. The first Xuanwu Shell, Helios World, was used by the prankster to create a world within the world.

A portion of the power used was absorbed into the cavern, creating the Heavenly Dungeon. It was fueled by the Godhood Power of Life, Time, Space, Sky, Land, Sea, Creation, Star, Tool, and Food.

Thus, the barren land returns. But something different this time. Raven placed a rule to continue this prank of his. Heavenly Dungeon and Tianyuan will compensate one another.

The Dungeon provides All, but the Dungeon takes all.

That's how the first day, of the first month, of the first Tianyuan Year, came into existence.

Currently, it's Tianyuan year 10202.

...

[I hope it is something good...]

Aiolos opened the second Xuanwu Shell. A bottle of pinkish liquid falls onto his hand after the six smooth surfaces of the box disappeared. It was the size of an egg, with a wooden crown acting as the cap.

"God's Appraisal!" Aiolos stares intensely at the bottle of potion in his hand.

== == == == ==

Lower-Heaven Starry Ether

-Granting the user another chance to discover his/her (Magic) potential. The higher the Magic point, the less effective is the potion. Best to be used on a crest holder accompanied by the crest giver.

== == == == ==

[This is quite a treasure. At least around our Southern Tianyuan Sanctuary, I've never heard about this potion before]

Aiolos put the potion aside. On the other hand, the Orb of Skill (God) appeared. In the Tianyuan Continent, learning and creating skills is not something unusual.

But only a kind of god is capable of adding and removing the skills within the god and mortal's body. They're known as the God of Law. Not all, but most of the lower-tiered Law God is involved in the business of producing skills, removing skills, and Trading skills.

Furthermore, their business is booming, with only more crest holders looking forward to better skills, not lesser. And some people, especially from the Cultural God or Medicinal God Sanctuary, survived through their services.

Of course, that doesn't mean selling and buying a god's skill is as common as a mortal's skill. In fact, not once in Aiolos' time, there's a skill of a god that is open for purchase.

Even God's Appraisal failed to inspect this treasure.

[Let's use it!]

Aiolos wrapped his Godhood Power around the Orb of Skill (God) to create familiarity. Only this way could he absorb the skills within efficiently, without wasting any of the knowledge.

[This! It's over - Overwhelming!!!]

Cracking from thunder wraps around Aiolos, with a hint of thunderous cloud appearing in the outer part of Southern Tianyuan City. But nobody is noticing it because the sky already darkened by then.

A silhouette sneaks outside of Aiolos' Sanctuary with a small bag of Copper Crystals. 20 to be exact, just enough for him to enjoy certain services at a special place.

It takes him close to twenty minutes to be there.

Bubbles with water float around the entrance into this special place, which is filled with mysterious smokes and fragrance. The people here dress thinly to the point part of their hidden desires is revealed.

Of course, that's more towards the female. Some male visitors come with their equipment and loots, all for the sake of a round of satisfaction. Here, anything can be traded, as long it matches what the owner of this Sanctuary demands.

And things like crystals are the favorite.

"Young warrior, why are you still staying outside of the battlefield?" a gentle, seductive voice from an angel whispered around his ears. When he turned around, he unconsciously walked through the barrier with water bubbles.

She stands about a head shorter than the male, wearing a dress that reveals her entire smooth and milky back. It was a sleeveless design that enhanced her breast from two sides. Her hair was brown, just like Pharcis and Tetros.

It was the smell of Hypnotic Lavender, Strengthening Sage, and Empowering Rose. The fragrance that is made up of the three magical herbs is capable of enhancing vigor, boosting urges, and strengthen their body.

"Please let Zenia satisfy you." the angel named Zenia held him tight into an empty home of a single bed, kitchen, and living room combined together. With his pouch of crystals were kept secretly, Zenia attacked the male.

Her hand skillfully removed the knot and belt that's holding his cloth and quickly gobbled his extension. The hands that have now found its freedom immediately touches his body, from shoulder to his buttock.

The quick action of hers made the male immediately lost his control as he tries to hug her. As an expert in body language, Zenia found out his intention from that gesture.

"You seem inexperienced. But don't worry. Zenia won't make you feel hollow," she whispered beside his ears, with a hand reaching to the extension she gobbled earlier. A soft and gentle touch moves in and out for a moment before she realized the extension's extension.

The male revealed an expression of confidence.

"The spear of this young warrior looks sharp," Zenia giggled. She positioned her body, ready to accept the warrior's thrust. Their fight continued from the door to the bed, all the way until a spear within the spear fired.

Zenia weakly rolled to a side of the bed, secretly smiles. As for the male, he's exhausted but rejuvenated. The stress that was gathered into a ball of stress now finally released sexually.

Zenia cuddled with him for a little longer, patiently listens to his glorious adventure within the Heavenly Dungeon. To her, this male's behavior is much better than the so-called beast outside.

Two hours after their session, the male left, leaving Zenia still intoxicated by his touch. She doesn't know why but perhaps is because she's still inexperienced.

The door into Aiolos Sanctuary opened gently not too long after that. Hansen sneaks into his room again before he falls asleep.

[This brat... I'm busy absorbing the knowledge from this Orb, but you went out to have fun?]
