nEvery single selection could fit me so well, as I’m practically a master of all trades. As now that I’ve acquired the spear arts of Lu Bu and whatever this lance of Longinus is, I can focus on physicality if I want to.

n“Fuck… maybe I should just save this. I don’t have enough information on it, but it feels and seems the most appetizing. I’m bound to just regret it when I’m older and looking back on this situation… **, but these other two are just- FUCK! I can’t make up my mind!” I shouted, clawing at my hair as the process of selecting one of these things proceeded to take over my mind.

nMy thoughts spun like a tornado, tearing every fold in my brain apart. It was as if my own intelligence and ability to overthink were eating away at my own sanity.

nBut I didn’t have to think much longer as a notification presented itself to me. A blessing or possibly a curse that forced me to make up my own mind.

nSelection Process will end in five minutes. Please make up your mind before then

nVWOOP

nAll of a sudden, I felt my body distort and my mind twirl within my brain. It felt as if my physical existence was being erased but then reformed somewhere else. And since I was so powerless against this force, I just gave in and decided to see where it would take me.

nMeow…

nMet by the furry face of a cat, I breathed out a long sigh of relief. Obviously, it was the omnipotent time god that teleported me here. So, I quickly brushed the cat out of my face and walked towards the pitiful stone cabin built atop this floating piece of rock.

nYou would think a god would have some towering palace of gold and marble with flames of literal divine energy basking them with each passing second. But this guy lived a simple life. One of solitude, laziness, and minimalism.

n“What is it?” I asked, walking through the open hole in his stone cabin, which I assumed was meant to be his doorway.

n“Take this. This will guarantee you will survive, but you may lose some things in the process. But as long as you survive, I can make sure you regain those things… so take it,” The man muttered, a hint of sorrow in his voice as he raised a glass bottle towards me.

nIt was a small mason jar tightly sealed with silicone, and inside of this vacuumed antique was a glowing orb of numbers. They swirled in the abyss, stretching infinitely within that orb. It was a strange force of nature that was almost impossible to comprehend with my mortal mind.

n“This is what your mother used… this is what I gave your mother. So, if you are really her son, then you will no doubt survive this.”

n“Hey… it’s obvious no matter how hard you try to hide it. You’re related to my mother, aren’t you? No god would care about a mortal like this except for Ares… and I’m sure her existence is hated by the gods for obtaining a god-slaying skill.”

nI took the mason jar and gripped it tightly within my hand until it shattered, releasing a massive gust of aura that was like that of a black hole. It released a powerful initial blast which was no more than a gust of wind in this void-like space, but then all of a sudden, it began to suck in whatever was around it.

n“I’m your mother’s father. I am your grandfather,” The man meekly smiled before touching the orb of swirling numbers and pushing it toward me.

nAs my eyes widened, my flesh began to rip off of my body, and the hand holding the orb after it had dropped and I caught it disappeared. Each and every square inch of my flesh and bones were being sucked into the abyss held within this orb.

nBut I wouldn’t call it painful as I couldn’t feel it. Things just disappeared from my body as if they were never there in the first place.

n“This is a probability orb. One of few within our godly kingdom. It can take our ** luck and flip it upside down. So, follow in my daughter’s footsteps and take the life manipulation. You won’t be able to use its full power initially, but you will be able to slowly unlock it with time and effort.”

n“Thank you… will I be able to see you again? You’re different from my father, who only sees me as a tool. So, I was hoping-”

nMy mouth was suddenly sucked into the orb, leaving just my eyes to hang there, in front of the god who only continued to smile weakly. He looked as if a whirlwind of emotions was flying through his mind, but could only laugh a few words.

n“You can assimilate skills without the risk of me coming down… do what you want,” He lightly chuckled as my eyes were sucked into the abyss, and I felt my consciousness begin to swirl.

nIt was innate. Something deep in me selected the skill. And I couldn’t even see what skill it was, but I just knew it was the correct option.

n…

nWhen I awoke, I was in a massive bed. The walls around me were grand, and the high ceiling was more than enough to tell me where I was. I was back. Back in hell and back in this servant contract of mine. 𝗈𝐯𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t

n“Oh, for ** sake… more locked skills… just what I needed,” I groaned, but was content and happy that things actually succeeded. Although, I was still a bit worried as to what the repercussions would be for succeeding.

nApparently, I was still going to lose things in exchange for obtaining the god-killing skill… or, now that I think about it’s a skill category rather than a single skill… I mean, I won’t complain about obtaining more god-killing skills.

n“*sigh*… Should I-”

nJust as I went to get up, I felt my body completely paralyzed. I was unable to move anything besides my eyes, which frantically shifted around. Was it some kind of sleep paralysis? Some kind of poison that I drank before using activating the teacher quest?

nSlightly panicking, I began to sweat. I tried my hardest to try and move my muscles. But even the smallest ones, like the muscles on my face, just wouldn’t budge.

nGod Intervention activating

nSkill Book automatically infused

nSuddenly, I was able to move again, and all the movements I attempted to do while paralyzed all of a sudden moved at once. My entire body and face jerked around stupidly for a couple of seconds until I was finally back to normal.

n“I guess that was one of the repercussions….” I heaved before seeing a new section of my status open up just below the life manipulation section.

nFour Flying Spear Arts of Lu Bu: Innate Calm Double Fanged Demon Crunch Seven Striking Angel Destroyer Heaven Splitter

nI wasn’t very happy with this. I didn’t work hard at all to obtain these spear arts, and I’ll most likely still need to train to even hope to control them. It’s more of just a tease and something to put me down whilst knowing the thought of me killing him… was still lingering in the back of my mind.

nSeeing a glass of water on my bedside table, I picked it up and chugged it down. Its refreshing nature immediately cooled my thoughts whilst a woman in a long black dress and blood-red eyes stared at me from behind.

n“You’re different. What did you obtain from that nap of yours? You’re stronger. You haven’t evolved, but the potential that was already immense quadrupled in size…. So I order you to tell me what you did.”

n“I was enlightened by a thought. Nothing more,” I smiled back at the vampire whose fangs were dripping with some kind of acidic juice. She looked as if she was ready to eat me whole.
