Soral: So my lord, what do we do next?
Dranexx: stares at her angrily
Soral: Oh… so sorry. My bad, Dranexx. “Lord Dranexx” would be nice.
Dranexx: Just Dranexx, please.
Soral: Ahh okay.
Liberty: My lady, what should we do now?
Soral: We can leave… but my realm will be unprotected.
Liberty: I will stay. This beautiful divine realm of yours can’t be left unguarded. I will guide the Fountain of Life.
Dranexx: Fountain of Life? What is that?
Soral: It’s divine water from my realm. Drink from it and you gain eternal life true immortality. But that doesn’t mean you’re above erasure.
Dranexx: Hmm… can I drink from it?
Soral: What do you need that for? You’re already immortal.
Liberty: Don’t touch that water, you lowly swine.
Dranexx: Yeah? Like you could do anything to stop me. Hahaha.
Liberty: Watch your mouth, human.
Dranexx: Soral, I may be immortal… but I’m not above erasure. Perfect immortality is something else.
Soral: True. It’s rare to see someone with perfect immortality like us. Only the Top Seven possess it.
Dranexx: Wait… really? That means you can regenerate from nothingness?
Soral: Only the Top Seven of us. The rest have near-perfect immortality.
Dranexx: So when I say I can erase you…
Soral: Yes, you can. I can regenerate instantly, but—
Dranexx: But?!
Soral: You’re an odd human. During our battle, I avoided that Sword of Erasure. There’s no telling whether I could regenerate… or die permanently.
Dranexx: How so?
Soral: For someone who can delete systems… there’s no chance you don’t possess the authority to decide whether I live or die. Not to mention that skill of yours manifesting conceptual weapons that rewrite events. If you grow stronger… you’ll surpass every Grandmaster except the Four Omni Kings.
Dranexx: The Four Omni Kings? You mentioned them before. Who are they?
Soral: You don’t want to know. Just understand this we Grandmasters don’t stand a chance against them. And there are beings in other multiverses capable of killing a Grandmaster.
Dranexx: Oh? So you’re not all-powerful after all. Hold on… what about that “great evil” coming in two years?
Soral: There is no great evil. That was a lie. I left the Grandmasters after our Creator disappeared. They turned the multiverse into a playground multiverse against multiverse. The Zeikuverse became their toy. They created beings that rivaled and even surpassed us.
We weren’t aware of your summoning. But you humans… you were different. Every one of your souls is unique. When you entered this world, I felt a chill. A connection formed between us. You had the aptitude of all Grandmasters.
You, Akube, and six others were anomalies.
That girl… Lisa.
Dranexx: Lisa?! What about her? Is she alright?
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Soral: She’s fine.
Dranexx: Then why does she look angry?
Soral: That girl will be trouble in the future. If you meet her, don’t underestimate her.
Dranexx: Have you been watching her? Why?!
Soral: That’s none of your business.
Dranexx: Yeah, right.
Soral: Hmph.
Dranexx: Take me around your realm.
Soral: Why me? Go explore yourself.
Dranexx: Seriously? The cold shoulder?
Soral: You’re rude to ladies.
Dranexx: Am I?
Liberty: Yes, you swine. Such insolence toward my lady is unforgivable.
Dranexx: Watch your mouth before you leave this world completely.
Liberty: Is that a threat, human?
Dranexx: Threat? No. Just a warning, my boy.
Soral: Quiet.
Both: Yes ma’am.
Soral: Liberty, I know you don’t like Dranexx. But he’s nicer than you think.
Dranexx: I’m not.
Soral: Dranexx, try to understand Liberty. That’s just how he is. Deep down, he’s a sweet guardian.
Liberty: I would never be kind to anyone but you, my lady. Anyone who defies you Grandmaster, God, Monarch,I’ll put my life on the line.
Dranexx: Define “simp.”
Liberty: What did you say?!
Dranexx: Nothing. Just greeting you.
Soral: Enough. You wanted a tour, right?
Dranexx: Yes, please.
Soral: Fine. But control yourself.
They stepped out of her castle. Before them stretched a paradise blossoms dancing in the wind, golden skies, endless beauty.
Dranexx: Wooow… this is heaven. Who would ever leave this place?
Soral: I know, right?
Dranexx turned and froze.
Soral stood beside him, radiant. Like the realm itself had taken human form.
Dranexx (out loud): Beautiful.
Soral: What is it?!
Dranexx: Nothing… just admiring your beauty.
Soral: Shut up. I’m always beautiful.
Dranexx: Yeah… you can say that again.
Feelings Neither of Them Expected
Later…
Dranexx (thinking): Am I… falling for her? No way. She’s a Grandmaster. But damn it… I don’t hide feelings like some ridiculous MC waiting for “the right time.” I confess and deal with the consequences.
Soral (thinking): Why am I feeling this way? He’s just 17. I’m millions of years older… but age doesn’t matter for beings like us. No… no way.
They collided bumping foreheads.
Dranexx: Watch where you’re going!
Soral: I would say the same.
Silence. They stared at each other.
Dranexx: Sorry… you okay?
Soral: Physical attacks don’t affect me. And you?
Dranexx: Same here. I obtained physical manipulation after fighting you.
Soral: How was your exploration?
Dranexx: It was good… but something happened.
Soral: What?
Dranexx: Soral… I think I’m falling for you.
Soral: W-What…?
Dranexx: I’ve never felt this before. Not even in my old world. But I know what this is.
Soral: I feel the same… but a Grandmaster and a human? It’s unheard of.
Dranexx: Screw the rules. If the system says no, I’ll erase it.
Soral: You’re naive.
Dranexx: Yeah. I am.
Soral: I’ll think about it.
Dranexx: Seriously? I just lost my pride.
To the Mortal World
Soon, they crossed dimensions into the Nacia Kingdom.
They arrived to see Akube lounging in luxury, surrounded by women.
Dranexx: Don’t tell me this is what you’ve been doing, Aku.
Akube: D-Dranexx?! Hey bro!
Dranexx: Where are my gold coins?
Akube: I thought you gave them to me to spend! I rented this house so we can adventure later!
Dranexx: I said hold it. Not spend it.
Akube: …Oops.
Dranexx: You’re dead.
After a brief “lesson”…
Dranexx: Aku, this is Soral.
Akube: Wait… Grandmasters can’t stay in the mortal world. It’ll collapse!
Dranexx: I sealed 40% of her power and 30% of Anti-Soral. She’s fine.
Akube: No way… you brought a Grandmaster as your wife?! I’m jealous!
Dranexx: Wife? I’m still pending, bro.
Soral: What a joke. I already accepted.
Dranexx: Since when?!
Soral: Since now. I’m the lady of this house. Understood?
Both: Yes ma’am.
Dranexx (thinking): One minute here and she’s already bossing us around. She really is a big momma.
Soral: Akube, how much did you spend?
Akube: 3,700 gold coins…
Soral: Remaining?
Akube: 100.
Soral: No breakfast and lunch for three days. Dinner only.
Dranexx: Damn… that’s brutal.
Soral: You’re responsible for cooking. Akube takes jobs and buys supplies. I handle maintenance.
Both: Yes ma’am!
Soral: Dranexx… don’t forget your duty as my husband.
Dranexx: My duty as?! Oh crap…
Akube: Ooooh someone has responsibilities now.
Dranexx: Quiet.
