Ichiro and Akeno left Senna's room to head towards the first exit of the village they had found; the entrance was guarded by a single half-sleeping guard because of the alcohol, something that could be understood from the bottle on the floor beside him.
As soon as they left, Ichiro saw several notifications appearing before his eyes:
-Energy of the Sin detected-
-Energy is sufficient to enhance the power of Envy-
-Energy is sufficent to unlock the power of Lust
-Now is possible to modify the arousal sensitivity of a chosen target, maximum number: 1
-The number of avaiable attempts to steal abilities is increased to 6-
- More information will be shown through the Eye of Envy-
-Maximum number of evocations: 2; number of active evocations: 1of 2-
Ichiro put on a happy grin, satisfied with his power up and even if he wasn't quite sure how his power worked, he had some ideas related to what he had done to Senna; if it was as he thought then his choice to go to a big city was becoming more and more correct: the more crimes related to one of the Sins he would have committed, the stronger he would have become; besides that, another important thing was that he would have more companions by his side, both as an attack power and as a slave.. well.. especially the last one.
As soon as he saw that he could summon another waifu, his heart (and also his penis) was exploding with happiness.
He and Akeno kept walking until they found themselves at a safe distance from the village; he wanted to avoid being spotted while fleeing, so he decided to camp in a more isolated area of the forest to rest and leave the next morning; obviously not before having fucked Akeno.
He was still tired because of Senna and his walk through the woods, so he decided to let Akeno do everything: he lay down on his back and took off his pants while Akeno gave him a blowjob giving him a perfect view of her ass; he also played with her nipples, pinching and pulling them, causing her to moan with pleasure.
Once he was satisfied, he let her ride him making her sides move constantly and after a while they both came; Ichiro fell asleep with a smile on his lips.
Unfortunately their sleep did not last long, as a figure had approached them without hiding her presence in any way and Ichiro did not struggle to wake up and recognize the beautiful and mysterious goddess with long raven hair and greet her: "hi goddess Shakti, what does it bring you here? "
Shakti put an hand in front of her mouth and gave an elegant laugh: "oh dear ... I just wanted to see how you did it and I have to say that although you came in this subspecies of 'jewelry box' a few days ago that mine sister calls world, your soul has already accumulated an impressive amount of Sin Energy, I am truly delighted "
Ichiro, as soon as he heard of this so-called Energy of the Sin, assumed a serious expression: "I just received it through a kind of notification and he told me that my power of Envy has somehow evolved and that I have unlocked what he calls the power of Lust, what does it mean?"
Shakti assumed a surprised expression: "oh my ... I saw that you had accumulated a considerable amount of energy, but such as to even give you access to the sin of Lust already ... I am very curious to know what happened to the poor girls who they ended up under your clutches ... "
"I really spent most of my time plundering adventurers who were passing through an inn of their abilities, then I laid an ambush on a group of adventurers and, before leaving that petty village, I fucked a pretty waitress and let me say that I went quite heavy with her .. I think this moment is still in the grip of hysteria "Ichiro informed her.
Shakti was surprised, she had underestimated the human in front of her and was delighted with this; to the reincarnated humans, who were usually well accepted and blessed by that sorrow of his sister, a unilateral sense of justice was inculcated which forced them to eliminate anyone who did not worship the cult of Fumina with the excuse of being heretics; her sister was obsessed with choosing young, handsome men and women easily manipulated by other worlds, but this time her arrogance would cost her dearly.
This human felt such a strong hatred towards Fumina that he had not hesitated even for a moment, despite being on the verge of death, to receive what was considered the blessing of the most heretical goddess of all: Shakti, Goddess of Sin.
After being immersed in her thoughts, she turned to Ichiro one last time and began to talk:
"allow me to explain to you what I have not had the opportunity to tell you at our last meeting: you see every god can grant a blessing to those who consider him worthy and such blessings grow with the increase of the favor of the aforementioned god towards their "champions", in my case, however, the blessing will become stronger whenever you perform actions considered sinful; from what you told me you already started to widely use the power of envy and after you raped that girl you accumulated enough Energy of the Sin to have access to the second sin, Lust.
I am sure it does not serve to tell you what will allow you to do the power of that sin; however, know that I like what you are doing and I will give you a warning: keep going to that city, but once you arrive know that some enemies are waiting for you; in fact there is the headquarters of the followers of Fumina, a bunch of fanatics blinded by the arrogance of my sister who will not hesitate to hunt you if they discover that you have my blessing.
You do not yet have enough strength to face them yet, you must become stronger and increase your number of companions, servants, whores or whatever you prefer to call those women you are able to summon; I hope you can survive and continue your journey, for the good of our common mission "
That being said, Shakti retired and disappeared into the woods just at sunrise.
Ichiro rested thinking about what the mysterious goddess had told him, particularly about the church of the followers of Fumina: if he went to Aster he would practically find himself in the lion's den where the slightest mistake could have cost him everything; however, he could not resist the temptation to have it paid to that arrogant goddess, so he decided to work out a plan to tear that church apart.
But Shakti was right also on another point: he was not yet strong enough, even with Akeno and the eventual second companion he was going to summon; the skills he had stolen came from those who were evidently low-ranking adventurers and simple soldiers.
He needed more power and if there had been any guild of adventurers in Aster, he would surely have had the chance to gain skills from high-ranking adventurers.
It was with these thoughts, and with the sun finally risen, that he set off with Akeno towards what would be his first and true challenge in this world.
