Chapter 63: The god of life

"Man I wish I have your looks, I would be able to easily charm any woman, you sure you're not the god of love or something?"

"Hahaha, you're funny" Nova grinned "My sister picked the right human"

"How are you still here? I thought you were dead"

"I'm a remnant of the original, with all his memories, I was placed of the plotinum so that if a reincarnate makes contact with it, I will then be able to properly come out"

"You're lucky that I'm the one that came, what if it was other reincarnates under a different god?"

"Then I would've appeared in their dream, but I sensed my sister's presence on you, so turns out I was right, how's my sister?"

"Great, she likes playing hard to get though"

"Hahaha" he laughed "You can easily get along with my sister with a personality like that, too bad that she doesn't really interact with our followers, I'm only a remnant, there are limits to what I can do"

"So you're the ones who've been answering the prayers, how doesn't Dabria know?"

"She doesn't really pay attention otherwise she would have, but now that I make contact with you, she would be able to sense something odd when you wake up, have you figured out your power that you've gotten after your bond yet?"

"No, it's just unlike Albert, both my eyes changed its color and that's it, I tried putting mana into my eyes but nothing."

"Well I have a good guess, but I'm not gonna tell you, but you should be good, she did take my role after all, you would get power from each counterpart, life and death or an ability that is a mixture of the 2"

"That's good I guess, but that'll take a while for it to activate then"

"I can help speed it up, come here"

"You're not going to kiss me like your sister did, right?"

"Of course not"

I then approached him and he inject mana directly into my eyes

"There you go, it will speed things up, but just know that my sister will give you strange looks, I will also give you an extra power before you wake up, Charm" he said

"Are you sure you're not the god of love?"

"Hahaha no, mine isn't as strong as the one the god of love, Eros, possess but it should help, now I need my payment"

"Shit, how much?"

"I don't need money, just tell me your past life stories and your current one leading up to now, time is fluid in a dream, we got time till you wake up"

"That's fair enough"

I then proceeded to tell him my stories until I felt like I was about to wake up.

"Well, our time is up, will I see you again?"

"Of course, but don't tell my sister bout this, we'll talk more later" Nova replied

I woke up to Dabria standing over me in her human form.

"If you want to kiss me, just ask and I'll say yes"

"What?! No!" she blushed "It's just that, just now you had this oddly familiar presence, it resembled a bit like my brother's "

"It's probably the plotinum jacket, your brother was the one that found it, his scent probably lingered on it. Gotta say, it's super convenient, it can transform into any piece of clothing that I want"

-Let's go for our breakfast, you need energy before your training- Ace said

"Wear your usual S-rank robe, we don't want anymore attention" Damon said

I then showered and went down for breakfast

-Your parents will come after breakfast to observe your training- Siege reminded

After breakfast I went to the training grounds but I was called over by professor Steel.

"What do you need professor?"

"I just wanted to give you a heads up, we just heard that you got picked to fight in an exhibition match against Drakon's junior team captain to start the competition, you should have enough time to rest till the obstacle course after the match" He said

"Sounds easy enough"

"You don't have to win, you don't want to show too much before the other competition, but fight good enough to entertain everyone, even the king is going to spectate it" he added

"So I can beat him till he cries in pain?"

"Of course just stop when the ref tells you to"

"You walk at the front, you're the captain" the headmaster said "It's to show our hierarchy, the vice captain will hold the flag with our crest, you walk beside the captain"

I stood in front of the group that was split into 2 lines and to my right was Elliot who was holding a big flag with a Phoenix symbol that was our crest

"Now walk out there and show them the world what you're made of" The head master shouted

We all then walk out in the blazing heat and to wild cheering of the spectators
