A System ?

"so lady Athena what are you doing here chained in the pillar? and what the heck is that three-horned deer?" Ethan asked.

she didn't replied for a minute, then said "well.. you see, i am the one who helped the mortal or to say a demigod, kill Zeus, i wanted to rule over the whole Olympus."

Ethan was surprised, she seems very ambitious.."you what?"

"who thought he would backstab me.." she said as she pouted at Ethan.

"haah.. tell me how did you end up here and how did you contact me?" Ethan got to the point.

"hmm.. if you ask about Olympus or Sparta, they are now at peace, after the chaos broke down, some random gods attacked us, the remaining gods.. we fought to death as some died in the battle while some heavily injured, then someone interupted.

breaking the law of outer gods the constellation Immortals and dao gods made a deal with Cronos and Gaia the other Titans, some fallen ones were sealed in different Prisons. I played a major role in this whole chaos, that's why i am here.." she said looking at the heavy chains on her hands.

"these chains are suppressing my all divinity, and elemental energy.. I can't break free from these." she said and sighed.

Ethan took a while digesting the whole information. while Yaling felt sad, it's been days they are travelling together, but now he didn't even paid any attention.. she felt left out.

"I see.. so what about the deer and the message?" Ethan asked.

"during these thousands of years here I created many spells and techniques, these chains got weakened by the time. i can use some of my life qi now. that was a spell where i can possess someone's body with just a part of my consciousness." Athena said.

"and the message?" Ethan's heart started to beat faster, he was guessing some answers that didn't seemed any good.

"well.. I don't know? that day as usual i was resting here, I heard a man's voice. saying that he could free me from here as long as i do what he say. i agreed as it's still better than dying here..

then he imparted some memories, which contained some wierd law energy, which i couldn't use. but then a light blue, semi transparent panel appeared in front of me."

she said as suddenly a system appeared in front of her.

"what?!!" Ethan was shocked, he could see the system, with similar style as his.

"then he never said anything.. i don't know who is he or where is he.. it's been over a month." Athena said looking pitiful at Ethan.

Ethan understood everything.. but, this system was somewhat different. it doesn't have a shop nor any quest category.

Ethan sighed in relief, 'A system huh?'

.....

"ne..ne..ne.. Ethan? are you going to release me right?" she said with puppy eyes.

"ahem, i-i will think about it.."

"haah? soreha..nandesuka?"

Ethan looked at her with cringe.

"wait you are from Greek mythology why are you speaking Japanese?"

"thehee" she didn't answered.

"I don't know.. how to break free you from the chains, i mean look at this it seems strange.."

they looked at the inscriptions on the rusty metal chains.

"...I see." she said with a slight smile. it's totally different from her cheerful elder-sister vibe.

*sigh..* 'system? scan the chains.'

<< scanning in process. >>

Ethan knew from her story that she was here for thousands of years.. totally isolated and caged in this shitty cave.

it was natural that she desperately wants to breakfree from the chains. it was meaningless to wait for the end of this planet.

Ethan pitied her.

the Athena who was know for her knowledge and naturally worshipped by warriors. seems very docile and friendly. she doesn't have any meaningless pride, nor do have any temper issue, even in the messages he could assume that it was slightly funny.

<< scanning completed, this is the chains from netherworld's 5th floor hell. this can block qi and essence energy movements from dantian to meridians, which prevents the prisoner from using any technique using qi. >>

'Chains from hell? what the fuck? what should i do? is there a way to save her?' Ethan was shocked from netherworld? he was hoping for a way to save her but at the same time reluctant, who knows.. if she kills him after that? the owner of unfamouthable knowledge, can put a little act right?

<< it's impossible for host to break the chains, with your current power you can't put a scratch on it, but there's a way to save her Soul. >>

Ethan wasn't surprised. 'tell me how i can save her soul.'

<< it might not that hard, you need to persuade her to make a familiar contract with you, and she will automatically transfered inside your dantian. >>

Ethan, who had seen many novels knows about these familiar and slave contracts.

he thought why would a goddess would like to be his familiar spirit?

"Eto.. An-kun? daijobu?" she said looking at him lost in his thoughts.

"?? An-kun?" Ethan put a cringe face.

"it's Eth -An so.. An kun."

he face palmed but shook his head.

"Lady Athena.. i want to ask you to form a familiar contract with me."

the atmosphere went silent. she was taken aback by his straightforwardness.

after a few breaths of silence she spoke.

"call me 'Ena nee-san'." she said as she put a finger on her lips, a playful smile formed over her beautiful face.

Ethan sighed in relief looking at her smile.

"is that a yes?" he wanted to confirm.

"yesh.. so be prepared I won't go easy on you~"

she said while licking her lips. leaving behind the curious man figuring out what she meant.

it's not like he is a dumb mc or something.. right.

"of course.. i like it rough." he said as he put his thumb to lift her chin. his face was getting closer to her.. within a blink of eye, their lips were a inch apart, Athena closed her eyes in daze while her lips forwarded a bit.

"STOP!! y-you.. what do you think you're d-doing?"

Yaling yelled out load, as she couldn't stand this anymore.

both of them stopped and Athena move away, even if Yaling couldn't hear what are they talking about, she is clearly audible to them.

they both fixed their posture and stared at each other.

Athena went back, and sat in lotus position.

'hey system, she agreed what now?'

<< well..she has a system so it's easy i will create the contract make her accept through the system. >>

'thats convenient.'

"Lady Athena, please accept the contract through the blue panel you showed me before." he explained the process.

"Moo.. An-kun call me nee-san." she said pouting at him.

"nope" just a flat answer he shrugged her off.

"hee? then call me Ena-chan." she said pouting.

"sigh.. E-Ena chan." he said shyly fidgeting his fingers. it's really embarrassing to say these Japanese suffix naturally.

she smiled and opened her system screen unlike Ethan's she doesn't have a voice assistant.

as she opened it, it showed..

[ Ethan has requested to form a master-familiar contract do you wish to continue? (yes/no)]

she naturally selected yes.

'!!!'

suddenly Ethan felt dizzy, the process was energy consuming, with little to none cultivation base, he felt very weak, fortunately Athena caught him and rested his head on her lap.

<< congratulations host for obtaining a new familiar, Athena, the Greek goddess of knowledge and craft. >>

Ethan smiled before passing out.

after a while he woke up finding himself on someone's lap.

it was Yaling, after he passed out, Athena opened the barrier. letting her in.

she was shocked at the sudden turns of event she grabbed him putting him on her lap while looking at Athena with vengeance.

"ah.. i passed out? sigh.."

he smiled at Yaling before turning to Athena.

"you sure? you know i can't cultivate? that's why i was here looking for a treasure." Ethan said.

"don't worry i will help you.. what do you think of me? i can judge people from a look, even though your meridians are sealed i can see your unusual size of dantian and physics.. what?.." she exclaimed as she suddenly noticed something about him, her face turned red like a ripe mango.
