" Inner self? What does that mean?"
" I don't know," Origo shrugged.
" It's something like another person is inside my head, giving orders. And strange thing is I don't feel any malignant thoughts from her. I feel like it was my old self who lived a long time ago. You can even say she is like a guide to me."
Luke was silent. He was busy processing all the whole lot of information he got just a few minutes ago. He had to digest all of this shocking information in order to get a grasp of the situation he was. As he was a quick-witted and calm person, he managed not to go crazy after listening to Origo.
" Get a sip of my tea. I'm sure it will help you think peacefully."
" Can I trust you?" Suddenly, Luke asked.
Bewildered by this sudden question, Origo looked at Luke with widened eyes. Her silver coloured eyes blinked for some time in astonishment and asked, " There is a function in the system to find that! Don't tell me you didn't know!"
Once again, Luke felt his calm thoughts being destroyed by these actions of this bastard of a system!
" System!" Luke bellowed.
" Ah, it's just you didn't ask me if I can do something like that or not!"
Luke felt like if he had eaten some greasy shit and anyone could see the green colour in his face.
" Ok, ok, just calm down."
" Ding...
Function:- Truth or lie
Information:- This function named ' truth or lie' is one of the basic functions this system can execute. As the name suggests, it has the ability to find if someone is telling lies or not. The assessment is done by observing the target's facial expressions, behaviour patterns, and cosmic energy patterns and additionally uses the database of the system. It can even access the universal database to give users a more correct judgement."
" Do you want to use truth or lie function on the target, Origo?"
" So tell me without access to the universal database how much is the accuracy of the result in percentage?"
" The accuracy will be 100% with or without the database."
" Then what about that, It can even access the universal database to give the user a more correct judgement.' thing?"
" Oh, that? It's just for proof regarding the accuracy of the function. This evaluation is not done via the information that I or the universal database have. Instead of that, we use cosmic energy patterns. That means whenever a person lies, there is a difference in the flow of cosmic energy around the traget or inside the target's body. This change can never be controlled by anyone! Even the creator of the universe, if there is someone like that, I can assure you that even he can't escape from this cosmic flow disturbance."
Although Luke didn't understand much, the final idea he got was that the system itself was vowing for its accuracy. Although the system was somewhat clumsy, it had never lied to him up until now. So, he thought it was better to go with the flow.
" Alright, then use it."
" Ding...
Target Origo had not lied to the user up until now!"
" So, do you believe in me now?" Origo calmy asked while having a small sip from her snow white cup. Luke saw how her soft pale lips smoothly touched the lip of the cup. Two lips kissing each other.
Seeing this, Luke suddenly had the urge to drink her tea ASAP.
As if she had understood what was going on Luke's mind, she smiled at him elegantly and poured some tea to another cup and said," It's better to drink it while it is hot."
Then she went back to sipping.
' Damn it'
Luke sat down at the table and grabbed the teacup. He smelled it for a few seconds before drinking. The aroma of the fluid inside the teacup was addictive that he wanted to smell it more and more. But somehow, Luke managed to get away from that charm, as Luke was not a fan of tea.
Then, slowly, he took a sip from it. The moment it touched his toungue and then the other internal organs in his digestive system, he felt as if he was about to fly towards the sky. His mind was clear as water, and more importantly, he felt peaceful. His mind had become rational, and all the earlier worries he had had disappeared as if it had never been there. Encouraged, he took another sip, and once again, he could feel that inexplicable peaceful feeling. Luke was sure if he had been drinking something like this in the middle of a battle, he wouldn't feel a thing about the danger while he was in there.
" Tea of dreams is not something you should drink in a hurry. You should take your time and take small sips calmly. Otherwise, the effect of it will become weaker."
" What is this?"
Origo smiled.
" Tea of Dreams is something I invented a long time ago. This tea helps anyone to have a clear mind and calm thoughts. As it contains my power, it can even help people who have insomnia."
" Why would someone like you bother to make something like this even? I mean, you are literally a god, right? Why do you as a god worry about some tea and drink it?"
Origo softly laughed. Her laugh was fascinating, and it spread more and more peace in every corner around him. Trust me, if you were to look at her for a few minutes, you would forget everything in your life and start to look at her face continuously like an idiot!
Luke was no exception.
" Do you think gods aren't interested in drinking and eating? Then you must know, you are completely wrong! Gods may not need nutrients and all sorts of things by eating food, but that doen't mean they don't want to taste and smell something good. And as for me, why I made this tea..." Origo sighed.
" Oh, it's ok if you don't want to share it with me." Suddenly, Luke felt as if he must not make her sad. Luke had never seen this side of her. They may have met a few times before, but they didn't always have the time to talk with each other for this long.
" What?" She laughed.
" It's not something private! It's just that I was alone all the time. I had no one to accompany me from my birth, as I remember. Even a god can't survive that long. All I had was a barrier surrounding me, barring me from going outwards, and no one came inside even. So, this tea was very important for me to calm myself and prevent me from going crazy."
" But I could go inside!" Luke said.
" Yeah, you were the only one who could do that! Even oppa couldn't do it!" She laughed nervously.
" Must have been hard for you!" Luke got up and went up to her.
" Living inside a barrier for millenia watching the same scene over and over again, I can't even think about living like that!" Luke patted her head from behind. This action of his was purely because of his kindheartedness. Luke always had a soft side for people who were suffering. Be it a man or a woman, he never cared about that when it comes to suffering.
Luke continued to pat her head. He felt her smooth, wavy white hair. And soon, he felt his hand getting warmed by her head. And that was the time, he understood what had happened.
" Oh, sorry, I didn't think about it, sorry, it's just a habit of mine." He quickly got his hand away from her head.
" No~ no, it's okay~" Origo's voice had gone muffled.
When Luke pat her head, at first she became confused about what happened. She wanted to yell at him for patting her head without her permission, but the intoxicating feeling she got from his touch drained her strength to a level that she had no strength to voice her thoughts.
Right! This was the first head pat she received from her birth. Even the balance whom she called as 'oppa' couldn't touch her. After all, balance was just some power! It didn't have anything like its own feelings. But as it was the only different thing she had seen inside from the barrier except destructing galaxies and planets and stars. She didn't even know if it was a man or a woman, and neither did she speak with it, but she just believed it was her 'oppa'. This was the result of too much loneliness.
Right now, as she received that physical touch from a man for the first time of her life, she couldn't control herself becoming overjoyed. Even the Tea of Dreams couldn't overcome the power of his warm touch! For the first time in her life, she felt like she was living!
As a result, her body immediately began to show her mental condition. Her face began to flush like a cherry, and her breathing became quite irregular, and hot air began to emit from her head. And by the time Luke understood it, she was almost at her limit before fainting. Fortunately, Luke understood what was going on.
Origo took two to three deep sips from her teacup. Things had become awkward with the two right now.
After a few minutes of silence, Origo broke the silence.
" Ahem, it's better if you check the status panel right now! You will get more information about this." She uttered softly.
Luke looked at her and found out she had become calmer than before.
' That tea is the real deal!' Luke thought.
" Right!"
" Status window!"

' Mmm, Brahnian Race? What kind of race is that? Why is that considered to be superior to humanity? '
Luke clicked the see more section, and another holographic panel appeared in front of him.
In that holographic panel, there was a complete detailed picture of a robot looking living being along with the infirmation. The being looked just like him except for the wings and the mark of the origin of divinity on his chest.
" Brahnian Race is one of the most advanced and powerful races in the entire universe. People who are from the Brahnian Race have natural in born abilities, and they had the highest affinity to cosmic energy out of all the races living in the universe. They were like mechanical machines in the outer look, but that is also the strength of them. Instead of normal blood and fleshy organs, they had fluid called divine fluid inside them and organs, which are made of the hardest material in the universe. Despite they function by using pure mechanical technology, no one in the universe could produce even one of them without using their reproductive organs.( If the user is afraid of the thought that he would never be able to do 'that', don't be afraid, it will function normally as before! Besides, who knows, the user now may be able to satisfy Nyx, even!)"
" Fuck you! You motherfucker!" Luke's face was green like a fresh green apple.
" This species is one of the mysteries in the universe. According to the data they have the highest affinity for evolution and it is estimated that this species will climb to the rank of Apex predator. The dietary intake of this people is low, that they induce their growth using cosmic energy.
Fun fact about this race:- This male's of this race like to have a harem made up of different species. They can even turn another living being from different species in to their own by having sexual intercourse. So the males of this race are known as ' Sons of Life!' "
" Bullshit! They love to keep harem? How can they even live like that?" Luke screamed.
Luke looked at Origo with extreme fear! And suddenly,
" Ding...
