"Can I have sex with you..."
Luke said these words with a deadpan look on his face. Not a single sound can be heard from anyone, it was as if he was all by himself in a single empty room.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Every person there shared the same thought.
'Disgusting.'
'Lecher'
'Pervert'
'Cute'
'...'
Luke has nothing to retort, saying that his mouth moved on its own would only make him sound even crazier.
Having no way to justify himself Luke stared at the woman with pride. His eyes dead straight into hers, fear nowhere to be seen.
'Can't cry over spilled milk, if I said it, I said it, regardless if it was an accident. Well, I should at least apologize.'
As he was about to open his mouth, the woman began to descend toward him slowly.
Her elegance was recorded in everyone's brains. They watched as her fluttering blonde hair moved against the wind. Her smell permeated in everyone's noses as her figure slowly crept toward a certain individual.
Every person immediately took a step back to said individual as they silently judged him whilst waiting for his inevitable death.
More thoughts of disgust can be heard from everyone, even more so upon standing near the heaven-defying beauty.
'Scum.'
'Even I wouldn't say that out loud.'
'Destroy him! How dare he say blasphemous things to a goddess!'
The goddess set her foot down on the ground and grass began to grow.
Her footprints left flowers as she slowly approached the young man.
Absolute shock and attraction were on the people's faces, regardless of gender.
Her beauty transcends that of anything they've seen, and seeing her up close solidified that fact.
They watched as her beautiful gold hair bounced from her every step, her bountiful bosom stayed firm as women around her grew in envy, and the sway of her large hips hypnotized the men from behind. The white dress she was wearing, albeit covering everything, only gave her a more alluring look.
Light seems to fall from the sky illuminating her radiance, as small pink petals floated around her body and the scent of spring wafted more vividly in the air.
Luke looked at the beautiful woman fearlessly, sensing no hostility from her.
Then a sudden feeling of deja vu struck him out of the blue.
'Wait...'
"Persephone?"
Upon saying that name the woman stopped dead in her tracks.
Her expression shook ever slightly, only a few amongst the group have seen the slight change, but none took it seriously.
The goddess paused a bit more while fidgeting with her fingers, but soon her delicate feet began taking their final steps.
The people there closest to the womanly figure saw the sudden change on her face. Expectant looks were on their faces as they imagined the goddess punishing the shameless lecher.
But, their expectations were immediately dismayed.
A bright smile full of joy, glowing ever so brightly, adorned her beautiful face, making her appear more heavenly than ever before.
The woman finally reached him, their bodies centimeters apart.
A breath away from a kiss.
The crowd grew silent, watching the drama unfold. Some wanted to see the man crushed into oblivion, some were envious of the treatment, but most knew, at this moment, something insane will happen.
The woman looked up at him with her beautiful hazel-green eyes. Her long eyelashes accentuated her large irises as her nose pointed at the center of his face.
She was a foot shorter than Luke, but that is a lot to say considering that he's 194 cm tall.
The crowd grew silent awaiting what is to come.
The silence was everywhere as the haters, the envies, and the melodramatics held their breath.
The goddess opened her lips and said.
"Fufufu~ Yes, I will have sex with you."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The worlds of everyone present imploded, their dreams of ever touching her hand and becoming lovers, snapped to ashes. Every man fell on the floor, knees buckled from depression. The women weren't affected much, but seeing Luke's handsome face more thoroughly left them feeling bitter with envy.
Although everyone was shocked right to their graves, Luke was the most dumbfounded.
'Wa-wa-wait, she actually wants to have sex with me?'
His mouth opened, but a delicate finger pressed his lips.
"But, not now."
She took her finger back and held her hands together then her heels left the ground as her feet tiptoed toward him. Her arms reach out once more grabbing Luke's handsome face as their lips collided in a soft embrace.
Another surprise caught everyone off guard.
To see the beautiful goddess share a kiss with a vulgar yet dashingly handsome young man, everyone crumbled in their place. The people who knew Luke stood there, surprised, but knowing him they were used to the unforeseen incident.
However, two of the women who knew him most stared at the kissing individuals with an unknown gaze. A fire lit in their eyes.
The two finally let go as her hands no longer reached for his face and their lips parted ways.
The goddess stepped back with a slight blush on her face as she look at Luke with gentle eyes. She opened her mouth and said.
"This will do... for now fufufu~"
Luke can be seen with a rare blush on his cheeks, as he watched her delicate body float to the sky once again.
The people around looked at the graceful figure leaving the ground and stared back at Luke with a new profound look in their eyes.
'Will she also have sex with me if I asked?'
'Can I also kiss a goddess?'
'He's soo handsome~~'
People unknowingly looked at a man with a feminine appearance.
"What?"
The goddess levitated from above and voiced her words in everyone's ears, breaking them from their reverie.
"Although my introduction was delayed, let me introduce myself. My name is Persephone, the goddess of spring, and I'm here to explain the current situation you're all in fufu."
Everyone completely forgot about their sudden transportation and waited patiently for the goddess to continue speaking.
"As you may know you are transported here in this place, more precisely into a different world. I apologize for any inconvenience, but your help is needed. Where you all are currently is called the labyrinth of Daedalus sort of like those dungeons in Earth games. The labyrinth will test your skills and abilities as well as your character to its limits."
A single hand rose from the group. A beautiful woman with gold hair much like Persephone's stood next to Luke with jealousy in her eyes.
"Yes, Laura."
Slightly startled upon hearing her name, Laura stood her ground and said.
"So why are we here? Why were we transported to this place? Why do we have to be tested? Is this some kind of joke?"
A flurry of questions flew out of her mouth, disregarding the presence and nobility of the goddess. Everyone soon quickly realized the situation they are in; suddenly transported to a different world, getting tested for their skills and abilities, none of them signed up for this.
Utter chaos slowly ensued, and the people began to ask more questions.
The goddess looked perplexed but soon strengthened her resolve.
"I understand how you are all feeling, but this is an inevitability. You will all soon come to understand your calling as well as the fate of both Earth and Rath'Nia. But for now, I will explain what you need to do."
Everyone surprisingly understood the meaning of her words, albeit still upset, they have no choice but to listen to what she said.
This surprised Persephone, she thought they would all complain and interrogate her for essentially ruining their lives, but what she thought anarchy would come, understanding came instead.
'No wonder Lilith was so confident.'
A small imperceptible smile was on her face.
"Then let me explain your objective."
As soon as her words finished a blue screen appeared in front of everyone.
[Greetings, and welcome to Rath'Nia]
[Survive the Labyrinth with everyone surviving and beat the 10th floor]
Question marks appeared on everyone's face and the goddess began speaking once more.
"Surprised? Fufu~, this is the Zenith system, it'll calculate your strength numerically and help aid you throughout the Labyrinth and Rath'Nia. The Zenith system will guide you via quests and completing them will give you strength beyond human capabilities."
Everyone had various expressions on their face, but most were pleased with the simplicity of the system.
All but Luke.
[Greetings master, welcome back to Rath'Nia]
[Destroy the outer gods and protect the fate of the universe]
