Before Aaron could activate the ability, two separate windows suddenly appeared in front of him, divided into two sections. On one side was the 'Market' section, while on the other side was the 'God System' section.
Aaron observed the windows in front of him with astonishment. When he clicked on the 'Market' section, a range of items and abilities were displayed. Different enhancements, items, and information were presented, and he could purchase these items using his unit points. Considering the unit points he had recently acquired, he began examining the options.
On the other side, the 'God System' section provided detailed information about the God System abilities he had unlocked. Here, he had the opportunity to increase the power levels of the abilities, explore combinations, and find usage instructions. Aaron also had information about sponsorships in this section, so he decided to carefully examine this part as well.
In a state of indecision, Aaron contemplated the importance of evaluating the opportunities presented to him. If he wished, he could enhance his financial power, gain access to new abilities, and become even stronger to overcome greater challenges. However, he wanted to think through his decisions carefully and seek advice when necessary.
In the end, Aaron decided to close the windows and continue observing the system for a while longer. He felt that the time for making these decisions had not yet matured. What mattered to him was using the power he had gained wisely and choosing the right path to achieve his goals.
Aaron realized that the market was divided into several catalogs and was more detailed than the Tower Market. After browsing for a short while, he learned that there were no surplus items to be purchased. However, he discovered that the item he was looking for could be found more easily. In short, it was a market similar to a tower or safe zone market, but he didn't need to go to those areas to buy items.
On the other hand, there was the God System that he wanted to examine carefully, and when he clicked on the system, it expanded and remained as a single category.
Aaron couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the window in front of him. The information displayed before him was truly groundbreaking. Now he understood why on his first day of being transported to this realm, the Gods, Goddesses, Angels, and even Demons wanted to sponsor him.
Aaron was aware of all these events. The world system he was currently in was very different from his previous life. It was so different that the amount of experience dropped by monsters, the probability of monsters dropping their own items, and many other things had changed. He had never even thought that the Gods would intervene in this matter and genuinely sponsor the hunters, without any ulterior motives. Of course, unlimited sponsorship requests had come to him, but he had suspected that there would be something in return and had ignored every request that came his way.
In astonishment, Aaron began to read the information in front of him aloud to facilitate his understanding:
"Welcome to the God System. Here, you can manage and regulate the sponsorship requests you receive, and decide whether to accept or reject them.
The God System will be activated once you accept the request of a God or any other entity you wish to accept sponsorship from, and you can only have another God's sponsorship every 50 levels.
As per your knowledge, the God or other entities whose sponsorship you accept may provide you with items, weapons, unit points from their own treasure, or permanently offer you their own abilities.
Once sponsorship from a God or other entity is accepted, it becomes permanent and cannot be canceled or changed. It is advised to carefully evaluate your choice."
Aaron thought it was "perfect." He believed his own eyes, but he couldn't just stand there in astonishment. Instead of remaining in disbelief and refusing to accept anything, he quickly started to consider the gods he could choose from.
It took quite a while for several gods, goddesses, and other entities to settle in his mind, but after 20 minutes, he was convinced that exactly five of them were quite appealing to him. He immediately looked at the gods in the category and searched for them.
"The Goddess Nyx, here. The God Hades, here. The Fallen Angel Lucifer, here. The High Being Namea, here. And finally, Belenus and Belisama, here," he said aloud.
Thanks to his interest in mythology since childhood, he was quite knowledgeable, and these five perfect beings were indeed the best options for him.
However, he knew that he had to carefully choose the person and make a decision based on his future goals, but there was a challenge: what he would receive from this person would be completely random.
After about 5 minutes of internal deliberation, he had made his decision on the entity to choose: Goddess Nyx. Nyx was known as one of the most powerful goddesses in Greek mythology. She was so powerful that even the gods hesitated to look at her and couldn't approach her without her permission. Even Zeus, the King of the Gods, feared Nyx and didn't want to interfere with her.
But it didn't stop there. Nyx was the daughter of Chaos and one of the most beautiful goddesses in mythology. She was the one who governed the cycle of night for the world and was known as the goddess of the night. The chosen goddess was precisely such a being. Just the possibility of obtaining a weapon or ability from her would make him one of the most powerful beings in the world, and his power would increase exponentially. In the end, Nyx was the embodiment of night itself.
After waiting for a while, Aaron clicked on the sponsorship notification from Goddess Nyx, and a message appeared on the system: "Are you sure you want to accept the sponsorship request from Goddess Nyx?" He had seen this message and selected the "yes" option that appeared before him, then he said aloud, "I choose you, Goddess. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Your choice has been confirmed. You have chosen Goddess Nyx, and you are about to enter the presence of the goddess."
As soon as he saw and read this notification, everything he saw became blurred by darkness. He involuntarily lay down where he was sitting and shortly after, his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep completely.
After a very short time, his eyes opened. As soon as his eyes opened, he carefully surveyed his surroundings but found nothing unusual. He remained seated and began to wait.
Aaron noticed that after a few minutes, stairs began to form about 20 meters away from him, leading to a throne at the top. He carefully observed and realized that someone was sitting on the throne. Their left leg was crossed over their right leg, and their attire was long enough to reach right in front of Aaron, adorned with moon motifs.
With trepidation, he focused his gaze on the person sitting on the throne and saw their face. It was a woman with impeccably defined features, sitting on the throne and watching him with a warm yet dark gaze.
"Is this Nyx?" Aaron wondered, mesmerized by the beauty of the woman before him. He had felt this way only once before, and at the moment, he couldn't gather enough courage to speak and engage in conversation again.
The lips of the woman in front of him curled upwards, as if she could read the thoughts passing through the young man's mind.
"Yes, indeed," she said with a soft yet exquisite voice.
"This voice?" Aaron wondered. He had heard this voice before, but where?
"You remember me, surprising. I had only expressed my gratitude," Nyx said, smiling.
"Gratitude?" Aaron thought, but suddenly he understood what Nyx was referring to when she mentioned time. Just before he returned, he had heard someone thanking him, but he couldn't discern the source of the voice because everything had happened so quickly.
"Me... Before I returned?" he said.
"That's right, Aaron. Moreover, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Nyx replied.
"Me?" Aaron could only respond with bewilderment.
"Yes. You see, I've been observing you from the very beginning, and by the very beginning, I mean exactly that—from the moment you were born," Nyx explained.
"How... What do you mean?" Aaron asked, his curiosity intensifying even more.
"Just as you heard. You piqued my interest, even before all these events unfolded. I've been watching you since your infancy," Nyx explained.
"Stalker?" Aaron thought, his face showing a strange expression.
"Hahaha... It breaks my heart to see you perceive me that way, my dear," Nyx chuckled, then continued, "I'm not like that. It's just that the universal energy around you caught my attention when you were born."
"Universal energy?" Aaron said, still greatly surprised.
"Hmm, listen carefully, my dear. Everything you see in the universe is created from elements— even you are created from an element. Universal energy tends to be abundant in beings that elements favor, such as demons, angels, and sacred creatures," Nyx explained, and then added two more things to her statement, "or beings like humans or mighty dragons."
Upon hearing this, Aaron's eyebrows raised. Did he need to understand that he was akin to mighty dragons, or was there something he couldn't grasp?
''So i was having a lot of universal energy?'' Aaron asked kindly.
"Indeed, you had an abundance of that energy within you," Nyx confirmed. "A massive amount of universal energy was present within you, and it was increasing with each passing day. It is quite rare for humans to possess such a significant amount of universal energy."
"Why are you telling me all this, my lady?" Aaron asked, his curiosity seeming to diminish slightly.
"Just so you know how powerful you can be, my child. I thank you for choosing me first. I have been waiting for you for a very, very long time," Nyx said.
"You're welcome, my lady. I'm sorry if I was unsure and didn't know how to act, as you know, this is all very new to me. If I had known that you were waiting for me, I wouldn't have even considered choosing anyone else. Please forgive me," Aaron said, appearing genuinely concerned for Nyx.
The words that came out of the young man's mouth seemed to touch Nyx's emotions. The warm and gloomy expression that Nyx had while looking at Aaron disappeared, replaced by a warm yet affectionate expression.
"It's not important, I could have waited a little longer to see my one and only," Nyx said.
"I... Thank you?" Aaron said, feeling happy but also a bit puzzled.
"I will give you something, not the best I have, but something close to the best. If I were to give you the best, your body wouldn't be able to handle it, so don't misunderstand, my dear," Nyx said, with a happy tone.
"Really?! Thank you so much!" Aaron shouted with a smiling face. Seeing this, Nyx became happier with each passing second.
"No need to say it, you deserve it," Nyx said. As soon as Nyx said this, the area where Aaron and Nyx were began to shake. Everything was trembling, and upon this, Nyx said, "I think it's time for you to leave. If you stay a little longer, my friend will break through my barrier to take you away."
"Your friend?" Aaron asked.
"Mhm, Lucifer," Nyx said with happiness and then concluded her statement by saying, "my one true friend." As Nyx uttered these words, Aaron's eyes went dark, and the last scene he saw was a spear burning in the darkness.

Aaron opened his eyes again in reality and unintentionally murmured, "What a wonderful person."
After waking up, he first looked around and then up at the sky. There were no clouds moving or level-up notifications from the system. In short, not even a minute had passed in time.
After pondering over all these things, he immediately opened the god system and what he saw made the corner of his lips curl up. After seeing what he saw, he stood up and said, "Thank you, truly, thank you."
It was the most sincere gratitude he had expressed in his entire life.
