( Present time. )
" So, my gorgeous young 'demon'. " Circe says as her index finger touched my chin while calling me gorgeous as she looks at my unordinary cool appearance.
" Why are you here? " Circe asked me while still touching my body, she must've gotten more interested in it.
"( She's too excited, isn't she? )" I asked myself as I see the System notifying me, finally it gets into its usual good mood again for goodness sake.
< The Subject [Circe] is getting more aroused every time she holds the Player's very body. >
< The Subject begins to unleash some odors from her body. >
" Okay enough! " I begin to make some distance as I use my hand to let her off from my body.
" If you're attempting to change the subject then I will leave! "
" For in just minutes, I could tell that my efforts here are wasted! "
" Wasted, you say? " Circe asks.
" My dear, you're efforts are not that wasted. " Circe tells.
" How so? you seemed to only want to seduce me earlier. " I replied with another question which made Circe smirk.
" Such a wonderful man you are, even though you're not actually one..., yet. " Circe suddenly says which made my eyes widen.
" My dear boy, you're in your 12's are you not? you're a teenager. " Circe says.
< Scanning >
< Subject [Circe] has figured out the Player's age. >
"( Great, she knows? )"
"( I wish the revelation will be sooner, but it seems things go even faster for me. )" I think about this for the enchantress of Greece herself immediately knows my accurate age, despite my body didn't look like my proper age, it looks more like a cool shredded guy in it's 19's and still growing.
But since she knew...,
" How convenient... " I tell her.
" To think you already knew my age just at first glance. " Ragna smirks.
" Knowing this from you, I felt as if you've been stalking me for years. "
" Well... " Circe replied.
" I always spied on everything around me, around this very prison of mine. "
" Using some 'guards' I've managed to bewitch, I was able to witness some great things. "
" Witnessing great events, great stories, great people that I often found interesting. "
" Like you, Ragna Kent. " Circe then calls my name, I am immediately startled to hear it, it increases my cautiousness.
< Cautiousness +10.000 >
"( How? )"
"( At ease, Current One. )" Ragna 69 tells me inside my mind.
"( 69? )"
"( Circe is known for her mischief just like some other individuals that we must face in the future. )"
"( Even if she fully knows your identity, it couldn't be achieved by using her own prowesses. )"
"( She must've probably gotten it from someone, try scouring more from her. )" Ragna 69 says to me, telling me to try and reassure things before my cautiousness go overreacted.
"( Fine then, guess I better play along. )" I tell myself for I've decided to just play along with the flow, in order to know how much she knows.
" So you knew? " I asked Circe.
" I'm surprised, to think a great enchantress would gaze her eyes and stalk me to even know my name which I haven't used for some time. " I tell her, for it is the fact that recently, I've been only called by alias names, given by people, like the 'White Demon', 'God of Abyss Tower', and 'Black Phantom' with many other more that I could not even remember.
" But aside from that, before I ask you about how you knew those things. "
" First, I better ask you on do you also knew why I'm here, like what are my intentions, coming miles away to just met you in person? " I try to confront Circe with that question, I hope with me looking a bit annoyed like someone who's been waiting for his meal for a long and didn't get it, will make at least make her consider asking my question.
" Such an impatient question you gave me there... " Circe replied.
" To think a boy would scold me so much, this makes me get pissed, you know. "
" So what? Do you mean you can't answer it? " I ask her again, this time, I making it to hurt her status of an all-knowing person you've always met in your life.
" Child... " Circe gets pissed off.
" Of course, I knew why you were here, I've been watching over you from whence you make a scene with the Vulture Guild outside the Gate back then. " Circe tells me and when she told me that, my mind immediately remembered the [Ruin of Swords] for that is the place I've met the Guild.
"( That far... )" I wondered to myself, wondering does this woman also 'watch over' me during the Abyss Tower Raid or something.
"( No, she can't be watching if whatever she's watching me with is inside the Tower with me, if that happened, Twelve and the others from the System Space could immediately notice that. )" I considered that possibility.
" So are you going to give my answers now? " I ask her straight after dragging it too long in my mind, why didn't I just say it straight earlier, dammit.
Guess this is my fault for even considering 69's advice.
After all, his advice is often too much, it's like he often wants to know more about too many unnecessary details while the main purpose needs to be fleshed out first.
" Of course, if that's your wish. " Circe tells me.
" You've been wasting your time and energy, all the way around just to meet me, so it is proper for me to give something rewarding in return. "
" Yes, I knew of your purpose here... "
" You're here for knowledge, right? " Circe asks me.
" Fine then... " she then tells me.
" Allow me to give you that knowledge. " Circe smirks as she then gets closer to my face.
< The Subject [Circe] wants you to receive the knowledge, would the Player accept? >
< YES | NO >
I looked at the System and in that very moment, 69 came out from the System Space in his spiritual body, looking at me as his mouth is widely opened for what just happened.
"( Current One... )" 69 calls me.
"( How did you do that? )" 69 asks me.
"( It's my charm, 69. )" I tell him.
"( Huh? )"
"( This is the reality, whether you find this unfair or not, but a good-looking person like me will always get what they want, ... )"
"( Easily... )" I said to 69, while I winked at him despite my eyes being blindfolded but still, he could see me winking.
"( Dammit you! )"
( Meanwhile. )
[ System Space ]
" Wow, that escalated quickly. " Ragna Hundred sees it as they never thought this would be done so easily with no requirements from the enchantress herself.
" Well, let's just hope that his 'charm' will help us scour more things from her, we need it. " Twelve says as his [Twelve Eye of Time] activates.
" For the Lower Diviners begin to suspect the disturbance here... " Twelve says, seeing the vision.
" Dammit. "

Extra:
In this state, Ragna Current acquired another Status aside from Strength, Agility, Sense, Vitality, Intelligence, and Soul. The new Status is called 'Charm'.
This thing measures how much Ragna could be 'acceptable' to others.
