Mike's eyes went wide open when he heard Aphrodite, and as a successful businessman, he knew that this was a big opportunity for him.
"What will I have to do other than spreading your religion?" he asked nervously. "If my title is going to be 'champion,' then there must be something more to it than just spreading a religion."
The goddess smiled at him in approval; she had really selected a good person for the job.
"Yes, you are right. If I wanted to just spread my religion, I would have summoned my apostles. But you see, you are too weak to know the other responsibilities."
"So this is my test to grow powerful for whatever the other things are?" Mike questioned; he was quick to catch on as he used the same tactics with his sons and daughters.
He would test them by giving them an assignment, and only when they performed well would he give them a position.
"Yes, the world I am going to send you to is going to get embroiled in war. As the goddess of love and pleasure, I cannot let this continue. The mission for you is to stop the war and make them worship me as their goddess," she finished.
Mike went silent as his mind went into overdrive; he recalled what Aphrodite had said as he thought about them. 'Wait....'
He frowned as he turned toward the goddess and asked, "You said that the world is going to be at war; does that mean that a god of war has his minions in there?"
Aphrodite's mouth twitched as she looked at Mike, slightly annoyed. 'Looks like I picked a really good person!'
TSK
She clicked her tongue; she did not want to disclose this information since no mortal would want to mess with Ares, her ex-lover.
"Oh, okay." Mike shrugged as he went back to thinking.
"Eh?"
'What is this? Why is he so nonchalant about going against Ares?' she wondered; she was shocked when Mike just shrugged off the God of War as nothing.
'Wait, this might be good. I have already failed 99 times, and this is my last chance. I can't fail now; I don't want to lose my seat on the council.'
She bit her lip in frustration as she gazed at Mike; she really wanted to manipulate him and make him say yes, but the council would punish her and remove her permanently.
"So, do you agree?" she asked as she hoped inwardly that he would say yes.
"Hmm?" Mike, who was in deep thought, turned toward Aphrodite at her question and answered, "No."
Aphrodite's expression deflated in sorrow; all her hard work was now down the drain.
As Aphrodite was about to turn into the goddess of sorrow and tears, Mike continued.
"I need more information about the type of world and the people living there."
If there was one thing that Mike learned early in his career, it was, 'Never agree to something if you don't know what it is.'
Aphrodite's expression lit up like a light bulb; she didn't mind answering his questions if it would make him agree and started,
"The world you are about to reincarnate in is called Valoria. It's the type of world that you call a fantasy world."
She then looked at Mike, hoping to see some reaction, but was a little disappointed as he showed none.
"The world has five main races: Humans, Vampires, Dragons, Demons, and Beastmen. The power structure is from F Rank to SSS Rank, with SSS being the strongest."
Mike nodded his head as he listened to the goddess intently while making mental notes.
"Oh!" Aphrodite exclaimed as an amused smile bloomed on her face, giving Mike a nosebleed.
"I forgot to tell you; there are futanaris in this world."
Mike's expression lit up as his heartbeat quickened; he wanted to say yes then and there, but he reined himself in: 'calm down, Mike, calm down.'
Aphrodite watched Mike in amusement; she knew he almost said yes, 'just a little more' the scheming goddess muttered to herself.
"If you want, I can make you be born as a futan-"
"YES!" before Aphrodite could even finish her sentence, Mike yelled, agreeing to be her champion.
'I can finally fulfill all my dreams!' Mike exclaimed inwardly. His face was now lit up like a 1,000-watt light bulb.
'Fufufu, at last, I found my champion,' Aphrodite thought victoriously.
"Well then, my champion, choose your character," Aphrodite muttered while a blue screen materialized in front of Mike.
"Whoa!" Mike exclaimed as he saw the blue screen in front of him.
CHARACTER CREATION
Race: Dragon / Human / Demon / Vampire / Beastmen
Gender: Male / Female / Futanari
[Please select your race and gender for further options!]
Mike was startled at first, but quickly gathered himself and turned toward Aphrodite. "What do you think I should select?"
"Hmm," Aphrodite hummed as she thought. She then nodded and said, "I advise you to choose a vampire or a dragon. The vampire race would give you near-immortality and fast regeneration. The dragon would give you a very strong and sturdy body."
"Which do you think is the most beautiful race?" Mike asked.
"Vampires for sure, some of their beauties almost rival mine." She answered while emphasizing 'almost.'
Mike nodded his head in reply; he knew that the goddess could get jealous if some women were more beautiful than her. And he also needed to be beautiful since he needs to attract people.
"I choose the vampire race," Mike muttered.
[Selected the Vampire race. Please select your gender]
'Hehehe,' Mike smiled pervertedly at the screen's question.
"I select futanari," Mike answered while smiling sheepishly. At last, his dreams are finally coming true.
[Selected the gender Futanari. Please select the options below!]
Breasts: A / B / C / D / E / F / G /. . . . . . .
Penis:
[Please select your breast and state your preferred penis size]
"Oh! I can even select them, huh?" Mike wondered in astonishment.
'Well, I don't want my breasts to be too big and look artificial, but not too small either; should I go with an F?' he pondered.
"I select F cup, and my penis to be..." He didn't finish his sentence and turned toward his goddess, who smirked as she whispered her preferred size.
He then turned toward the blue screen with a smile and said, "my preferred penis size would be the same... no... increase an inch more." He smirked as he turned toward Aphrodite, who was now blushing heavily.
'I wonder how it feels like when that monster ravages me!' Her breath became ragged as she took shallow breaths; she was too turned on by Mike's penis size.
[Your choices have been selected. Please select from the options below]
Birth: Common / Noble / Royal / Imperial
"Imperial" Mike answered immediately, 'I need a lot of influence if I want to spread the religion. Wait, I don't know anything about her religion!'
He quickly turned toward Aphrodite, who had gathered herself together. "Tell me more about your religion."
"Ah!" Aphrodite smacked her forehead as she forgot to explain an important part to Mike.
'I have to explain to him, but the time is running out!'
She turned toward Mike and said, "Don't worry about that yet. You will be a baby for a few years. You will have little influence when you are born. So, treat the first few years of your second life as a vacation. I will explain more about my religion when we meet again on the day of your awakening."
"Bu-" As Mike was about to protest since that was his whole mission and also he didn't know about awakening, Aphrodite cut him off and said,
"I am sorry, Mike, but I am running out of time. We will meet again in a few years. So, until then..." she said as she sent him a flying kiss when everything went dark.
