Marry me

*Ding*

*New quest available*

Luke read the quest name and immediately guessed what the content of this new quest would be.

*Quest 04 - Date with the Goddess:

There is a woman whose beauty can eclipse the most beautiful phenomena in the cosmos. The system has determined that the compatibility with this woman is extremely high, so a quest has been issued to motivate the Host to act decisively.

Objective: A first date is always important! Perform well during your first date.

Reward: Cultivation method, unlocking and increasing the "charm" attribute, improving Xylara's eye.

(The higher the woman's favorability at the end of the date, the better the reward.)

For this quest, the possibility of observing the favorability of your date has been enabled*

When he saw the content of the quest, he could not help but say "as I suspected." The system was actively pushing him to get involved with the sensual priestess he had only briefly seen once in his life, and truth be told he didn't feel much opposition to the idea of ​​having a relationship with such a beauty.

"It would be nice if she also had a good personality. Although if our compatibility is so high I shouldn't be displeased in any way right? Or is it merely a physical compatibility?"

Luke consulted with Syzy about it, but didn't get a satisfactory answer from her. She simply replied with a "compatibility is extremely high." Sometimes interacting with the system felt like conversing with an artificial intelligence that wasn't properly programmed.

"Either way, the reward this time is really good. I'm not too interested in the new attribute, but the cultivation technique can be extremely important for my future progress, if I manage to obtain a tailor-made method my cultivation speed could even double! I just hope the reward isn't a fiasco like when I completed the first mission. If the system ends up giving me a cultivation method that I already know, I don't think I can maintain my sanity."

Luke entered the building following Elian, after passing through several galleries they reached a large internal garden. In one corner, Luke could see Namira, who was sitting under a parasol, in front of her there was a table full of snacks.

Elian stood at the entrance and did not take another step, that was as far as he could go.

Luke continued walking without hurry, contemplating the beautiful garden, and the beautiful woman in front of him.

Namira was dressed the same as the previous time, with the silver and gold clerical robe, which would be loose on any other priestess, but when it covered her voluptuous body full of curves in all the right places, it was tight and produced a magical effect that he could never tire of. What a wonderful contrast! purity and sensuality in an exquisite combination.

Her eyes were closed, with an expression of absolute calm. Her features were soft, her small nose, delicate eyebrows, and her pink lips that invited to go a step further, formed a stunning image. Her entire face was a work of art.

The wind slowly moved her long brown hair, and made her ethereal existence anchor to the real world of mortals.

When Luke was about to arrive at the table, she opened her eyes showing her deep purple pupils. Then she sketched a smile and made a gesture with her hand, indicating that he could take a seat

"Good morning Mr. Luke. I hope my invitation was not too abrupt"

"Not at all, it could never be a bad time to have a date with such a beautiful woman"

Luke said as he sat in a chair next to Namira's

Namira smiled happily upon hearing his response. Luke on the other hand had a strange expression on his face, which made his handsome face look somewhat funny. If he were a character in a comic book, his head would be surrounded by question marks.

Namira obviously noticed his expression, and she slightly restricted her smile.

"Is there a problem Mr. Luke? If you have any needs, don't hesitate to tell me and I will try my best to solve it."

For a moment Luke's expression became even more strange, but he quickly regained control of his emotions and acted normally again.

"No, no. There's nothing wrong, I was just reminiscing about some things from the past."

"In that case, let's start with the audience. To tell the truth, I've wanted to invite you for a long time, but for some reasons it was impossible for me to do so until now."

"What a coincidence, I was also looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible. From the first time I saw you, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Every moment your beautiful silhouette appeared in my thoughts" Luke said, faking his voice a little.

Namira's eyes widened in surprise, and then a blush flooded her face.

She looked down. Shyness prevented her from looking him directly in the eyes, but her heart was dancing with joy.

Seeing her reaction, Luke's mind began to work at high speed.

"So the information the system gave me is true?!" He thought.

The reason he had shown that strange expression when he arrived was because of the information that was being transmitted to him through Xylara's eye, which had been automatically activated when the mission began.

On the transparent screen that floated in front of her eyes was Namira's information.

-Afflictions: Draconic Curse (level 8), Universal Curse (level 10), Demonic Curse (level 5) *

Putting aside for a moment some of the more striking points of her personal information, he focused on one number in particular: 90.

"Favorability was 90?!! But if I haven't done anything, and this is the second time we've met and the first time we've talked... Could it be that I've encountered a true case of love at first sight?" Luke continued to think while Namira continued to hang her head down.

"Syzy! Is this favorability correct or is it another one of your bugs?"

"The data is correct Host"

"If there's no error, doesn't it mean I don't need to do anything to complete mission 04?" He asked himself.

Immediately his mood improved a lot, not only could he complete the mission with a good evaluation, with that degree of favorability it was possible to start a love relationship with Namira! Just thinking about the horseback riding through the prairie Luke began to feel the fire of passion growing inside him!

"I just have to avoid doing something stupid so that the favorability goes down!" He thought, and at that very moment his stomach began to grow madly!

After all, he had been almost a day without eating.

"Damn! I should have had breakfast. The moment I relaxed in the slightest, I already made a mistake!"

He looked with some fear at Namira, who was looking at him with a gentle gaze. The favorability displayed by the system was…91.

"It increased?!!"

Amidst Luke's confusion, Namira took a plate that had a fruit he had never seen before and extended her white hand bringing the fruit to his mouth.

Luke was surprised. He tasted the sweet and sour taste of the fruit and came back to his senses.

"I am also a foodie, Mr. Luke. It was my mistake to invite you and prepare so many snacks without inviting you to try a bite. I hope you can forgive me," Namira said with red cheeks.

Luke, still surprised, thought, "No, is it so convenient to interact with this woman? Is this the famous compatibility? Or is it that her favorability is so high that it is difficult for it to go down unless something drastic happens?"

Seeing that Luke didn't answer, Namira felt a little nervous again and asked timidly again

"Is the food not to your liking, Mr. Luke? I didn't know your tastes so I ordered several dishes that I like. If you don't like them I can ask the chef to prepare something else…"

Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him, trying hard to please him and showing caution for fear of disturbing him, Luke felt a warmth in his heart, and decided to show his thoughts with actions.

He took Namira's hand, staring into her eyes, and smiling said to her "It was really delicious, but even if it wasn't, any food would taste good in the right company"

Namira felt the warmth that enveloped her hand and the tender gaze of the man in front of her, and her heart began to beat strongly. Just as the goddess had told her in her message, it seemed that both were compatible.

Luke did not continue to hold her hand, according to his understanding of the Lunaris, they were a people whose customs leaned towards chastity, too much contact could backfire no matter how high the favorability was. Although he was dying to kiss her sweet lips, and his own body demanded him to take more daring actions, he was able to maintain his self-control and not lose himself in the torrent of desire that enveloped him.

He took another of the snacks from the table and began to eat with relish. He was indeed hungry.

At the same time he continued to converse with the priestess about trivial things, realizing more and more how comfortable he felt with her. It was as if this was his destined place in the world, this was where he belonged.

From time to time, however, he could feel a slight thirst for blood, a malice focused on him. Looking around, the only people present were the guards who stood nearby. At first glance they seemed to be completely emotionless beings, but if one paid attention, certain tiny movements could be perceived, such as the clenching of a fist, or the grinding of teeth. It was obvious, a woman as exquisite as Namira must be the platonic love of all the men who met her, and the guards would be no exception, it was normal for them to feel a certain discomfort seeing their goddess flirting and holding hands with another man.

Namira set the cup of tea she was drinking on the table, causing a small noise that brought Luke back from his musings. Looking at her, sitting up straight and with an air of solemnity, he knew that the time for pleasantries was over and it was time to begin the official conversation. After all, the priestess had summoned him for an audience, and it wouldn't just be for tea and flirting, right?

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Luke, there's a reason I asked you to come today."

Luke straightened his back and put aside his casual posture, willing to listen to what the beautiful priestess had to say.

"Do you know anything about our church?"

"The truth is that I'm not very familiar yet, although the church of the moon goddess exists outside of this sacred forest, it is a minor cult and is not too widespread. The little knowledge I have is basically brief excerpts of information that I once saw in a book."

Luke wasn't lying. He had never been too interested in religions, and what little he knew he had learned during his time at the magic academy, in his previous life, as part of a history class he had taken.

"So let me tell you a little bit. Our church was created by the ancestor of the Lunaris. It is said that the dragon goddess predicted endless calamities in the distant future, and the subsequent destruction of reality. For this reason she left behind her lineage and her legacy, so that when the time came her people could help avoid this catastrophe."

Luke listened carefully. So far it was a classic prophecy of the end of the world. He had grown tired of hearing similar stories in his previous lives, but at least 100 years in the future the world was still there, intact.

"Eventually the legacy of the dragon goddess began to organize itself into two powers. One is the political power, held by the royal family, and the other is the religious power held by our church. Both powers coexist in harmony and fulfill different functions, but the ultimate goal has never changed. Even to this day we are working to prevent the prophecy of calamity from taking place."

Namira paused briefly, looked at Luke firmly and bowed her head.

"I am here today to ask for your help, Mr. Luke! Please help us save reality!"

Luke looked at the beautiful woman who could make him feel so many emotions, bowing before him humbly and his heart softened. Although he did not like to complicate his life too much, he could not help but want to do something for her. There are times when a man must step forward.

"Namira. I don't know if I can be of much help, but if there is something I can do for you I am totally willing to help."

Namira heard Luke's affirmative response and raised her head. She looked at the handsome boy in front of her, smiling affably with a firm gaze and her cheeks blushed again.

"In that case, Mr. Luke, I ask you to please take me as your wife!"

"Eh?" Luke was taken by surprise

Namira used all her courage to make her request, but after making it, her mind began to collapse due to the embarrassment that such a statement caused her. For a young woman like her who had never experienced love, and who had lived most of her life isolated and without much contact with other people, such an act was truly the limit of her social skills!

Seeing that Luke was surprised and not responding, she began to ramble trying to give an explanation of the reason for her request.

"Well, you see, the prophecy… The war… Mmm I think you are very handsome, ah! No! The oracle of the goddess…"

She tried to string together a coherent sentence, but her nerves betrayed her and made her more and more confused.

Luke watched her panic, finding the contrast between her extreme beauty and her clumsy attempt at composure extremely adorable.

Just as he was about to interrupt the rambling priestess and give her an answer, a large door near the table where they were sitting abruptly opened and a group of Lunaris rushed in.

Among them was the high priest, who was accompanied by several priests dressed in robes, and a large number of soldiers, some of whom could be seen to belong to the church by their uniforms. Although most of the soldiers were not from the church, they were dressed in uniforms he had not seen before, and on their chests they had an insignia, which seemed to be a full red moon.

At the head of this group of people, was not the high priest, but a young Lunari man of a stern and elegant appearance, who was visibly angry and walked with force, emitting an oppressive aura.

"What is going on here?!!" The young man leading the group shouted. Luke knew immediately that trouble had found its way to his door, and he felt a headache coming on.
