On the edge of the first universe, a man appeared he had scarlet hair that fell to his shoulders and a pair of crystal blue eyes, the man that stood above all, the first God is his title and there are none who are his equal he is also known as the sinful god Adolin Morningstar.
Upon his return from the first universe over a dozen gods were waiting for him on the transcendent world, it was named such for this was the place all the universes would spit out newly born gods, though it had been a long time since a new god was born.
He frowned at this and moved towards them, "Virtutous," he called out to the virtue's god, ", I remember saying to keep this from the seven virtues and seven sins.", when he mentioned the sins, he looked to the Azure dragon Kalatis and frowned once more he was the only god that had permission to assemble the sins besides himself.
Virtutous remained calm with Kalatis to his right and Chastytas (the goddess of chastity) to his left, the three of them slowly made their way before the sinful god.
"Explain!" Adolin wasted no time and demanded answers.
Contrary to his expectations it was Chastytas that spoke and the two besides her glanced at her nervously. "Well, you see it's kind of my fault that the plan got out but before you get mad, only the virtues and sins learned of it." She spoke while trying her hardest not to stammer, it wasn't that she feared Adolin nor did the others, it was simply that this was Adolin's lifelong mission, and the more people that knew the truth about it the more danger it would bring to his son.
Adolin kept his gaze locked on her and she hurriedly let out the truth, "Well you remember three thousand years ago before you went in to wake up your son you told me that since you took my chastity I should try having a child or two, and so I did, I had three children with Virtutous.", she glanced sideways to look Virtutous.
She was still a bit embarrassed to talk about her sex life as the goddess of chastity she held it together for trillions of years and despite all of Adolin's charm which he had used on every god and goddess, she managed to endure and keep her chastity for longer than any of the other maiden gods, until Adolin finally begged her on his knees and told her truth that he needed to draw a sliver of her vital essence to revive his son, after that it still took a bit of convincing but she allowed it to happen.
So, she continued, "When I was giving birth the first time Love, Kindness, and Humility were attending to me and they asked how you managed to convince me to…y-y-you know..." she whispered that last part at a barely audible sound, ", at the time I was giving birth, I couldn't think straight so I accidentally told them a little and after that Humility was spending time Anuka (Pride) and he told her about it and before we knew it the entire group knew so we just told them the whole truth and afterward they said they would help."
"Well old friend there are others that would gladly help you with this if you asked, but if it's just the lot of us I'm sure the secret will be safe.", said Kalatis the Azure dragon as he shrunk his form and curled up onto Adolin's head.
Virtutous started grinning like a child, well he always liked keeping the form of a child one could easily mistake him for a twelve-year-old boy, "Besides the mistake we made, with the help we received from the others we came up with a plan one slightly better than yours."
At that Adolin raised his eyebrows, "Very well go on, but do remember that I've been researching this since the beginning of the current heaven I wonder how you improved my plan in a mere three thousand years." He didn't hide any of the sarcasm as he spoke.
"Come now don't be like that, it's actually simple why you didn't think of this, it just goes against your nature to share the load so we came up with a method to share it instead of pinning it all on you."
"No absolutely not I showed you how it works every time we enter and leave the presence of someone the curse increases the wariness, they hold towards us, and the stronger the person the stronger the curse becomes."
Virtutous sighed, "Just listen to Kalatis he'll tell you about a little cheat he figured out..." but just then new energy was discovered by everyone and almost instantly everyone presents attacked the hostile energy that appeared, the seven sins and virtues, Kalatis, Virtutous the ice and fire phoenixes that had remained quiet until now and also the lightning keirin unleashed an attack.
Adolin had been expecting this from the start so with a simple wave of his hand he scattered the attacks and stood before his son.
Samsara held his breath for a moment he just entered a new life and already he was surrounded by existences that even at the peak of his powers he would have a hard time fighting one on one, and besides his father, there were a few that would have been too much, by now he had gained a bit of control of his body and he slowly analyzed the ones he would never have a chance against starting with Chastytas, he then looked to the phoenixes, then Virtutous and finally the little dragon that sat on his father's head.
His quick glances and the order in which he looked at them didn't go unnoticed by anyone, even Adolin was surprised in just a glance he had figured out who all the biggest threats were, he then fell back into his cradle.
"Well little one you really are something special but don't be frightened they made a mistake, none of them will attack again.", he stated the last part a little louder while gently gazing at his son.
Samsara took notice of his father's features for the first time and he to admit that he was a lady killer, he had a smile that could dismantle anyone's guard but frankly, Samsara hated men like him, they would always humiliate him when they got a chance even if he looked amazing his curse would always repel women, and other good-looking men would always try to show off after his failures and mock him, well it rarely ever ended well for them.
"My lord," one of the sins Avarice rushed to his side, ", is this your child my lord I don't get why he is so hostile my lord did we do something wrong?" he asked worriedly with his head lowered but he kept casting wary gazes at the cradle.
"No," he spoke so everyone could hear him, ", this is the curse we spoke of it invades the mind of those around him and makes them perceive him as a hostile enemy, and every time you enter and exit his presence the effect will increase.", everyone eased up slightly but they still looked at the cradle with wary eyes especially after they noticed how keen Samsara's perception was.
Samsara was eager to gain full control of his body as a god he knew it was possible to change himself as he saw fit, but he still had a few hours before he could gain such control. Then he saw someone come up to his cradle and peek at him.
She had the appearance of a child, a cute face and flowing golden hair and her body was completely plain it made one think of holiness and purity, "Hello little one my name is Chastytas, what's your name?" she asked with a somewhat forced smile it could be seen that she was trying her hardest to push down her wariness when she looked to Adolin so he could give her the child's name.
"Samsara.", he answered quickly, ", his mother chose it for him.", he answered with a bitter smile.
"Well, if you put aside the scary curse, he is quite cute,", she said and picked him out of his cradle and ruffled his short silver hair.
As she spoke Anuka (Pride) came over and looked him over, "Well I suppose since he is my lord's child, I'll give him a passing grade but, if he had my golden eyes instead of those silver one's and he came out of these hips he would be cuter.", she spoke with a serious voice and swayed her hips as if to show that they perfect for popping babies, ", and I'm pretty confident that if it's my lord's baby inside me it will be born with a cultivation of the second level of the god realm, unlike this barely acceptable child."
The other gods all stared at her with incredulity, it was a well-known fact that the greatest cultivation a child of gods had ever been born with was the second level of the immortal realm, there were still three whole levels above that before reaching the realm of the gods and the only god in existence to break through the second realm and into the third is Adolin Morningstar.
Their gazes on Samsara were complicated, sensing the divine aura he radiated left them with complicated emotions, becoming a god had been a series of impossible tasks and tribulations for them and yet now there was a child that experienced none of it, yet had a power close their own.
They could understand why Adolin didn't let them in on the secret, if the other gods learned of his existence they would go mad to discover the cultivation technique in Samsara's cells.
"Now, now my dear,", said Humility coming next to her, ", no need to boast about your genes we've had six children together now only one of them was born an immortal."
"That's only because your humble genes drag down my prideful ones, but if it's my lord's baby inside me that child will be the pride of the universe,", she then turned around to look at Adolin who was just watching them with an amused smile, ", my lord I request to bear you a child to show this humble idiot of mine your greatness.", she said with a proud and boastful expression.
Samsara silently sighed as he heard this, it was something common amongst immortals and even gods to share their partners and have children with different partners, it would be strange if a bunch of people that can live indefinitely for a trillion years only ever had a single partner.
As soon as her request was heard Adolin asked aloud, "Kalatis you have a plan that I still haven't heard."
Several laughs were heard but Anuka didn't mind, "Just you guys wait one of these days, his baby will come from these amazing hips of mine." She said with a pout while staring intently at Adolin, it was something that made everyone curious about the sinful god he had taken many partners, but he never allowed any of his partners to bear him a child, he was the only god like that, at least that's what she thought until she saw the child.
She wondered just what kind of women could have gotten him to give her a child, but she would never give up on having his child now, she was certain of it, if she could bear her lord's child it would be the ultimate source of her pride and with it, she could grow once more perhaps reach the peak of the second level of godhood or maybe even enter the third level and stand as her lords most trusted subordinate.
Yes, that would bring her pride beyond belief she thought with a smile.
