As I threw myself into each punch, each dodge, each blow, I felt the power building in every fiber of my being.
My muscles tightened and rippled with energy as my training took on a rhythm of its own. It was in the middle of this intensity that Kami-Sama's voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
"Kairos, when your training is over, come to my temple. I have a special place in mind for your next phase of training," he said, his voice calm and somehow commanding.
A surge of excitement filled me. What could be better than training in heaven? The thought alone was enough to make me pause, curiosity taking hold.
Then, like a flash of lightning, it hit me. King Kai. Kami-Sama was planning to send me to train with the legendary King Kai himself! A sly smile spread across my face as the idea took root. My luck was finally turning.
But with no one around to share my anticipation, I needed a way to channel this excitement.
My eyes settled on Mia, my loyal companion, and a grin formed as I moved toward her, my energy surging with renewed purpose.
I approached her with fire in my steps, and together, we let that fire take shape. Our intense workout became a testament to my uncontainable joy.
I could feel her body yield to mine, caught in a whirlwind of pain and pleasure that seemed to echo my own emotions.
An hour passed, and I watched as Mia's form trembled and surrendered, her strength waning until she lay unconscious, her body still shivering in the aftermath.
But despite it all, my own energy felt unquenched, my desire surging with a need that was only growing.
I knew that as I became stronger, my desires would burn even hotter, demanding more. My gaze shifted to Celeste and Julia, their eyes catching the light with a glint of affection.
I could tell that it would only take a little encouragement for them to let those feelings come forward.
But for now, I had to contain that fire. I could feel the moment wasn't quite right. Soon, though. Soon, we would bridge that distance.
As night descended, Mia awoke, and we resumed our rigorous training. Hours passed, the two of us moving in synchronized harmony, with me holding back just enough to match her pace.
It wasn't until 14 hours had flown by that she finally succumbed once again, completely exhausted. I lay back, staring at the star-filled night sky, my mind alive with thoughts of what lay ahead.
The next morning, I gathered the three girls, my eyes locking onto each of theirs as I shared the news. "It's time for me to leave," I told them, knowing this journey was one I couldn't put off any longer.
Celeste, Mia, and Julia exchanged quick glances, a silent understanding passing between them.
They didn't need to say a word. Without hesitation, they turned and headed to their rooms, each determined to pack their things and join me.
Forty minutes passed quickly, and soon enough, they returned, bags in hand, ready for whatever lay ahead. I couldn't help but laugh softly as I watched them, shaking my head in amusement.
With a gentle smile, I handed each of them a capsule. They stored their belongings in seconds, ready to travel light.
Then, scooping up Celeste and Julia, I held them each in one arm, their faces glowing with delight. Mia, of course, wouldn't be left out; she wrapped her arms around my neck, her legs encircling my waist like a koala.
Together, we took to the skies, the four of us moving as one. I held back my speed, flying slowly so that they could enjoy the view.
And what a view it was—trees, buildings, and people shrank beneath us until they looked like scattered specks of dust. The vast expanse of the sea stretched out below, shimmering like a carpet of sapphire, meeting the horizon in a perfect line.
The wind swept past us, carrying whispers of freedom, adventure, and a hint of something greater. I could feel it too—something was calling to me. And I wasn't alone in that feeling. The girls clung to me, united by trust and the promise of whatever lay ahead.
After 40 minutes of soaring through the skies, we landed in heaven. Our feet touched down on soft, lush grass, the world around us radiating a strange, ethereal beauty.
But before we could take it in fully, I saw their faces shift as they noticed a peculiar figure—green and black, with an appearance unlike anything they'd imagined.
Startled, they moved behind me, their eyes wide. I chuckled, stepping forward to introduce them to the figure standing before us—the Earth God himself, Kami-Sama, alongside his companion, Mr. Popo.
I watched as the girls exchanged bewildered glances. I knew exactly what they'd been expecting. I could tell they'd imagined some grand, majestic figure. Instead, they were faced with a god who defied every expectation they'd ever held.
Noticing their confusion, I explained why I'd brought them along. They were my lovers, after all, and they wanted to make sure I was safe as I took on this next phase of training.
Kami-Sama and Mr. Popo exchanged a look, probably wondering what kind of threat I could possibly face that would concern them. But I simply offered them a reassuring smile, silently promising to protect them no matter what lay ahead.
Finally, I turned to Kami-Sama, my curiosity bubbling over. "God, what special training were you talking about?" I asked, anticipation building in my chest. "Shall we go now?"
But Kami-Sama only shook his head, smiling that knowing smile of his. "Patience, Kairos," he replied. "Tomorrow, we'll go. But before then, there's something important you need to know. I don't want you embarrassing yourself when we arrive."
He explained his own position first, humbly admitting that he was a small god of Earth. He spoke of beings who held far greater power than he, like King Yama, the ruler of life and death, who determined the fate of all living creatures.
And then, his eyes lit up with reverence as he spoke of the supreme deity—King Kai.
"King Kai is the supreme God, the creator of everything," Kami-Sama said, his voice filled with awe.
The weight of his words hung in the air. I could feel Celeste, Mia, and Julia watching with wide eyes, their expressions a mix of fascination and a touch of trepidation.
Although I already knew of King Kai, I listened intently. I wanted to hear every word, to catch any subtle hint or detail that might give me an edge. I knew I was about to step into a world of power beyond anything I'd ever known, and I wanted to be ready.
As Kami-Sama continued, my anticipation only grew. Soon, I would stand face-to-face with King Kai himself, unlocking the secrets of this "special place" Kami-Sama had promised. And with it, I would reach new heights of power, ready to face whatever awaited me.
