Chapter 268 36 days to regain power
"There were a few things, but yeah, that's how I got all those names."
It was morning now, and Alex had just spent around a few hours explaining to the creature what exactly she was, how she was the same person all those cool nicknames belonged to, and how she was in the state she was.
It was a long explanation filled with stories that even Elio was hearing for the first time, so, the two of them had fun chatting all night.
{ "You're also a strange human… why do I keep meeting strange people?" }
The divine creature was not feeling as angry as it did last night. It was relaxed, and though it did not notice it, it didn't mind Alex's touch anymore.
She was caressing the creature right now and it wasn't complaining… though, most of the time her fingers were simply passing through the creature's fog like body, it was a fun activity that she actually enjoyed.
It was a unique being… she had seen quite a few divine beings in her life, from dragons to Heavenly beings, to the demon kings' familiars, to even beings that were simply unimaginable.
She had been to places where unique creatures were a common thing, she had been to many places actually.
In this vast world, she had been to places that were simply too vast to comparhand by one person, or being.
She had met beings that were much more complicated than this one, so compared to all those things, this one was simply a fun little cutie.
"We aren't weird or anything, sweetly. It's simply how you see the world."
Alex told the creature how it's surroundings and growth until now was affecting its perception of the world around it at this moment.
It lived in a forest most of the time. It knew about the humans and since it was a divine being, it naturally possessed a great lot of knowledge about this world and about the truths of this world.
It knew about the special kind of quest that Elio had received, though it did not have much information on it.
It was also cute, so Alex couldn't help her attraction to this cute beast.
"Anyway… calling you is difficult. Don't you have a name, cutie?"
She got up from the bed, and looked at the pretty eyes of the creature. It was attractive, but it was also strong.
She would not last even minute against it if they were to fight right now. Though, that was without her using her white sword.
If she was using the white sword as well as the two other keys simultaneously, there was a chance that she would be able to hold her own against it and escape from it before it kills her, but that was it.
Even with her {Blink} and the ability to move faster than even this creature could perceive, she would not be able to beat a being that was purely made to move at a speed that was unprecedented to the humans, with such power that was simply absurd.
Lightning and light… it was no simple creature. It wasn't an elemental being, but it controlled the natural phenomenon of this world and used them in their pure form as not a power, but as an energy that was resulting in the power that it was using.
{ "Hmmm? A name? I… don't have anything like that… but you can just call me the Great one! The great lord! Lord! Or something like that!" }
It was being shy once again, and she was smiling at it. As Elio had said, it was one of those that naturally hid its emotions.
It was funny, but she liked these goofs just the way they were.
"You will need a name if you want to stay with us, so… tell me what you would like. Not something ambiguous like Lord.
You're a beautiful, strong, amazing being. You need a name that represents your pure heart."
She wanted to call it something, but she knew she was bad at naming so she didn't do it herself. Elio was good with names, but she wanted to give the little creature a chance to choose its own name.
It was a strong being that had its own personality and Ego. So, it should also have a name that reflects all those elements.
{ "I'm not staying with you! I just said that! I don't need a name or anything! That's not for me!" }
It was stubborn, just like the two of them. It did not need something like a name since it was a divine being but it did not have a choice this time since Alex was involved.
"Elio, decide something for it. Or we can just go with Philippe-."
"No. That's not it."
Elio knew her naming sense… her own immortal name was something that she had tried her best to hide from this game, this world actually.
One of the reasons many of her titles were famous instead of her immortal name was also because of the naming sense that she had.
"Hmmm…"
Elio kept his original name in this world as well, Quin changed it since, well, she didn't want the same name as she had in the Reality, But not only Alex did what both of them had done, there were so many things that she was now called by that she herself had lost track of what people called her.
"How about Xan?"
"Nah, sounds too plain."
{ "I don't need a name!" }
"You know what? Lavender. Levi for short."
"Oh! Oh! That's nice! That's perfect actually!"
She chose her original nickname, Alex, this time around since she wanted to be with Elio. There was no deep reason behind it.
However, the name that Elio had chosen for the creature was a different matter altogether.
"Lave represents your connection to nature, and on the other hand, represents your destructive power against your adorable looks.
You're good natured, and yet you hide yourself most of the time, afraid of being seen by people. You're shy, and you're soft, just like the lavender haze that spreads around when pure bliss blooms around the innocent souls.
You have purple eyes, you have a fog like body, you don't have a particular scent, but when your silver fog consumes the charred bodies of the monsters, it makes a unique fragrance that lasts only for a short time… but it's beautiful."
There were many interpretations of this unique name, and many times it changed with individual perspective. But at the core of it all, it was all about the creature's unique ability to kill, as well as its simplicity.
{ "What kind of name is that? Lavender? Why would I call myself lavender?!" }
It was blushing. Which meant it liked the name.
[Ding!]
And that notification must be about that as well… but both of them skipped it for now.
"You like it, good."
"You like the name~.
It was a good thing that the creature- Levi liked its new name. It was a pretty one and a dangerous one, so it was simply a good sign when it did not kill them.
{ "Hmph! It's just a name! Call me whatever you want, I don't care!" }
It vanished, and ran away from their room, leaving the two alone.
They seemed embarrassed about something, which was adorable, so the start of their morning was great.
"Hahaha."
"It's a unique one, ok."
Both of them were laughing, but it was good. The creatures liked the name, they were still alive, and there was nothing to do for today either…
"We will leave tomorrow."
Since the strange things in their world, they had decided to get stronger together until the timer that was going out in their world ends.
There are still around 36 days in this world before the timer in their world stops.
They will have to leave for their home, Elio and Olive's home tomorrow, so they will be busy for the next few days.
But they wanted to reach their next destination in the short time they will have while traveling to their home.
The two of them will not have the Chariot that they were used to over there, but since Elio had his own gaming room in his home, which was much more amazing than the one that they had here, they were going to have fun over there as well.
And, since Olive's house was just beside his- which was filled with all kinds of tech things- she was going to have a blast when she got there.
They hadn't been there for a few months now, but they were going to have fun when they get back… and their stay there will be longer with all the things going on, so, it means Olive will have to be away from her shop for a little longer than she might have been all those things had not happened.
"Haaa… we didn't sleep thanks to that little Levi."
"We didn't even get to do anything."
The two fell back on their bed. Their soft, warm bed… which was also quite sturdy.
"Well…"
They weren't going to do anything today either. And since it was also early morning, they had quite a bit of time before the others woke up.
"What do you say?"
"Yes."
"Hmm? What do you mean-."
He grabbed her hand, and looked to the side, in her eyes, with a smile.
"Yes."
He didn't say much. That one word was more than enough for her.
Experience more on empire
It wasn't a good thing that they would have to be quick, she didn't like how they would have little time to Rest, but it was fine.
"So, can I?"
"Please…"
She was craving him for a while now.
And, all that talk with that cute little creature had only made things… worse for her.
