"Hahaha... I was just kidding about you having to repay me. But I'm dead serious when I say, don't you dare die," Mortessa declared, her laughter filling the space.
Daniel took her warning to heart, his expression reflecting his determination to survive and succeed.
"So, tell me, what skills did you acquire?" Mortessa inquired with genuine curiosity.
Daniel listed them without hesitation, "I gained two new active skills and three passive skills: [Gluttonous Absorption] (SSS+), [Lascivious Enchantment] (SSS+), [Strong Stomach] (S), [Natural Charm] (S), and [Eselon Euforia] (SSS+)"
In this world, every skill and treasure had its rank, from the mundane E to the prestigious S, with S being the highest achievable grade. However, rumors of SSS talents or skills remained the stuff of legend, and Daniel had never encountered anyone boasting such extraordinary abilities.
Mortessa's curiosity was palpable. "Hmm? What kind of skills are these? I'm familiar with [Strong Stomach] and [Natural Charm] from my Seven Deadly Sins talent, but the other three have me intrigued. Tell me, what marvels can these skills perform?" Mortessa inquired, her violet eyes sparkling with interest.
Daniel, equally eager to explore the depths of his newfound powers, began to recite the skill descriptions.
[Gluttonous Absorption]
0 mana/usage
Description:
Gluttonous Absorption possessed an insatiable hunger that could consume anything in its path, from the mightiest dragons to the most powerful gods. This skill's prowess lay in its ability to devour a portion of an opponent's EXP, steal some of their stats, and even siphon their skills away. (can only absorb not higher than 20 lvl above victim)
[Lascivious Enchantment]
1 - ∞ mana/usage (based on target level)
Description:
Lascivious Enchantment is a captivating and beguiling skill that allows the user to harness the alluring power of seduction and desire. on activation the user can ensnare the senses of their target, clouding judgment and drawing them under a spell of irresistible temptation. even the victim of this skill will not notice it (can only effect gender opposite and not higher than 20 lvl above victim)
When Daniel attempted to delve into the last ability, Mortessa abruptly halted him.
"What in the world are those two skills?" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment. "They're beyond godly, even surpassing the versions granted by my own skills. I can only gain stats when employing the Gluttony skill, and if I use a skill from my Lust talent, the victims only realize they're enchanted."
Daniel listened intently, understanding the gravity of the situation. Mortessa continued, her voice lowered to a hushed tone, "Daniel, heed my advice—never breathe a word of these skills to anyone but me and your senior sisters. If you do, you'll become a target for powerhouses across the universe, and they'll chase you to the ends of existence to eliminate you. However, I can vouch for the loyalty of your senior sisters." Mortessa declared, taking a moment to regain her composure. "Please, continue."
Daniel nodded solemnly, fully comprehending what the situation he is in.
[Eselon Euforia] (SSS+)
Eselon Euforia is snu snu power whener you ma....
Realizing what he had just said loudly with a righteous expression in front of the beautiful woman, Daniel couldn't help but feel embarrassed. On the contrary, Mortessa's face remained serious, waiting for Daniel to continue.
"Why did you stop, Daniel? And what does 'snu snu' mean?" Hearing the phrase 'snu snu' come from the beautiful woman's mouth, Daniel couldn't help but think, "Mortessa must be like a living Virgin Mary." Strangely, even though Daniel was in his soul state, he felt a slight sense of excitement, just a little, promise.
(author note : i know snu snu is our pervert society slang, but Daniel speaking with universal language)
"Actually, Mortessa, I think it might make you uncomfortable."
"Why is that? I hold the title of an evil god, feared by people. There's nothing that can make me uncomfortable," said Mortessa proudly.
"Hahhh..." Seeing Mortessa's curiosity, Daniel could only sigh. "Mortessa, 'snu snu' refers to when women and men who love each other engage in intimate activities. But let me continue reading about the skill."
"Eselon Euforia is the 'snu snu' power. Whenever you make your partner reach climax, there's a small chance you can copy your partner's skill, but it can only be used on the opposite gender."
As Daniel finished reading, he looked at Mortessa, whose mouth had formed a big 'O' in surprise. Clearly, she hadn't expected a skill to be so explicit.
"Pervert," Mortessa mumbled quietly.
Now, Daniel was convinced that Mortessa was truly an innocent soul.
"cough Let's put one of your skills to the test," Mortessa suggested with a sly grin.
Daniel blushed slightly, feeling a mix of embarrassment and curiosity. "Which one are we trying out?"
Mortessa's smile grew mischievous. "Of course, it's got to be [Gluttonous Absorption], you little pervert. Even without your physical body, you're quite the handful."
Daniel's face turned even redder as he realized the implications of testing this skill, even in their current state. Mortessa's playful demeanor added an unexpected twist to their supernatural encounter.
"Now, let's stop joking around. I have a gift for you," Mortessa said, pulling out a body as big as a truck. "You hold a grudge against dragons, right? Well, here, I'm giving you a dragon. Don't worry, it's a Dark dragon's dragonling. Dragons are born proud and arrogant. This one killed many civilians later turn them into undead, then harvested their experience and consumed their bodies. After that, the planet's leader reported it to our faction. Because I was bored, I went to that planet myself and killed it," Mortessa narrated, her tone as casual as if she had just dispatched a common pest.
In reality, there were individuals capable of killing the dragon on that planet. However, every time someone did so, the dragon left a curse inside its killer's body. All dragons sharing the same bloodline with the dragon could feel the curse, and so, no one dared to challenge it.
Daniel asked with concern, "What about its parents? Did you also kill them?"
Mortessa shook her head with a knowing smile. "Not all dragons are nurturing parents. Many wicked dragon like this one lay their eggs in worlds without strong figures to train their offspring to be independent. However, this planet swore its loyalty to our faction, and we are known for our possessiveness and protectiveness. If the parents ever show up, they won't find a friendly welcome."
Daniel nodded, relieved by her explanation. "Thank you for the gift, Mortessa. It's quite an extraordinary one."
after saying that Daniel immediately active his skill "[Gluttonous Absorption]"
