Chương 15: Chapter 14- Tempting Offer

"Are you not afraid to die?" she asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"Everyone is afraid to die, but they die either way. Young or old, death is inevitable. Even if you are a god or an immortal, you can die when someone kills you. Even if you are rich or poor, you will die, and nothing else will matter. If everyone keeps worrying about dying, then they will stop living life. Everyone would be an emotionless puppet, and they would simply wait for that death. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't live a life; happy or sad, life is life, and to live is the true essence of existence."

"Famous last words," Aria scoffed and pierced the tip a little deeper into Zach's neck.

After staring at Zach for a while, Aria sighed and retracted her wings. "I hate you."

Zach raised his brows with a confused look on his face. Until a second ago, Aria wanted to kill Zach, but now, she forgave him.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Zach asked with a puzzled and curious look on his face.

"I liked what you said about life and death. It reminded me that I am alive," Aria answered with a distant smile and solemn look on her face.

"...."

"Who told you that?" Aria asked with a curious yet calm look on her face. "Your father?"

Zach instantly frowned his face upon hearing that.

"Don't you dare make that face in front of me. And I was simply guessing," Aria asserted with a sigh and shook her head in disbelief. "Why are you mortals so sentimental; always corny for their own selfishness?"

"Someone close to me once said that to me when I was a kid. At first, I couldn't understand what they meant. It had so many words, yet it explained nothing. But I guess only the people who have experienced such a thing and suffered from it can understand. As for me…" Zach shrugged with a short scoff and said, "I don't know. My entire life has been strange, so I am used to everything."

Aria stood up and looked at the sky with an emotionless expression on her face. Then, she clapped once, and a red moon appeared in the sky. After that, she jumped and sat on her throne in the same pose and position she was sitting when Zach saw her for the first time.

"Tell me, mortal. What makes you different from the other mortals?" She asked as her eyes shined crimson. Her body under the red moon made her beauty more imposing.

'Do I need to answer that? I just want to go back to the entry of the dungeon.' Zach thought to himself and stood up. He patted his clothes even though there was no dirt, and looked into Aria's eyes.

After a brief moment, Zach had no other choice but to answer: "I am not a mortal. I have the blood of gods, demons, and many celestial beings, but my body is human."

Aria raised her brows and uttered, "If any being has the blood of more than three supreme entities, they die. The tremendous powers in their body start to malfunction and end up killing them. And those who survive that end up like me... all alone for eternity. No place to go, nowhere to belong. No life, alive, but worse than death..." she asserted the last sentence in a low voice so Zach couldn't hear that.

"What was that? Why did your voice suddenly get lower?" Zach remarked.

"If you truly are what you claim you are, then you are a threat to the gods too. Why haven't they done anything to you?"

"I only have blood, which I inherited from my father. My body is still a human. It is my weakness. It doesn't allow me to do things. It is not allowing me to use my powers or cultivate on that matter."

"Hmm~" Aria hummed in wonder and raised her brows after hearing Zach's reply. "It has been eons since I heard the word 'cultivate' from a mortal. So you are a cultivator?"

"Not exactly. But I can cultivate MP in the game, which is not limited, so I guess that does make me the strongest player of the game, as of now."

Aria squinted her eyes and changed her pose. She leaned on the slat and folded her arms below her bosom. "Do you think you can be the strongest just because you have unlimited magic power?"

"I never said that. But…" Zach nodded and uttered, "I can manage to become one."

"Oh?"

"I managed to defeat you without using magic," he added in a low voice.

"Hah?! When did you defeat me?"

"I knocked you out three times, and you couldn't even touch me, even once," Zach replied with a smirk.

Aria frowned her face and said, "Do not make me regret my choice of not killing you. If I want to kill you, I can kill you just by thinking about it. But even I have heart. When I fight with someone, I fight with morals. I was simply matching my power with yours. I was holding back."

'You looked pretty serious to me, though.' Zach raised his hands in the air and asked, "So, why did you forgive me?"

"I told you already. Your words made me—"

Zach interrupted Aria and remarked, "That's bullshit. You don't look like a type of monst—Ahem! You don't look like a type of person who can be swayed by mundane words."

"How rude." Aria averted her gaze and uttered, "I thought maybe I could use you to defeat the petty gods."

"I am sorry, but I am expensive. So you can't just 'use' me unless you give me something in return."

Aria glanced at Zach from the corner of her eyes and asked, "Don't you want to get out of this game?"

"No one knows how to get out of this game. We are just told to survive, and that's it."

"What if I said I can take you out of this game?" Aria asked with an inexplicable expression on her face. Her white hair swayed with the wind and her crimson eyes shined as her pale skin glowed under the red moon; with a soft glare in her eyes and a curious smile on her face.

Chương 16: Chapter 15- Wisdom

"What would you do if I said I could take you out of this game?"

Zach's interest piqued. He pondered for a while and asked, "How can you do that?"

"This game is created by the gods. It's their world, their rules. So we simply have to end the gods."

"You make it sound like it's an easy thing to do. We are talking about the gods here. You can't just defeat them."

"But I can. They were threatened by my and my sister's existence. So they exiled us from the higher realms and threw us into the world of mortals," Aria uttered with a hint of anger and frustration in her voice.

She looked into Zach's eyes and said, "I could use your help to end the era of gods."

"..." Zach didn't know what to do. He couldn't just trust a random girl he had just met, especially when she was after his life a few minutes ago.

"As I said previously, I was able to read one hour of your memories, and in that memory, I saw how you were on the brink of death," Aria uttered and continued. "Did you not find it strange how the first five floors were enough to level up by four and the reward to clear the first five-floor was 2500 EXP. Then it gave another quest to reach level 5. But reaching level five was hard. The sixth floor only had one monster, and it gave 50 EXP. The rest of the floors also had a few monsters, and the increase in EXP was gradual. However, it also gave the players the incentive to progress further; only to die a cruel death by the monsters."

Of course, Zach had already realized that, but he also knew that he was no match against the gods, not yet. He has yet to grow strong and become limitless.

Annoyed and frustrated, Aria jumped from her throne and walked to Zach. She reached her hand to Zach and uttered, "Join me, mortal. And I shall give you my wisdom. With my help, you can reach the apex, and with your help, I can get my revenge. Together, we both shall conquer everything we want."

Aria walked one step further, but Zach backed off some steps and kept his guard up.

"Don't worry. I have no intention of killing you. Why would I kill you when I can benefit from you?"

"I haven't agreed on anything yet. And keep your distance from me. I am not good with girls," Zach remarked.

"I will give you some time to think about it. But first, you need to grow strong. Your spiritual powers are close to none. However, let me warn you about the cost of powers," Aria asserted. "Since you said your body is mortal, you will first need to evolve your body. Otherwise, your mortal body won't be able to handle the immense soul powers or any powers, and you will be either crippled for a lifetime or die in the real world."

"Get strong in the game to make your body strong in the real world. You already have the knowledge, but you still lack the experience. You have never been on a battlefield, and you don't know how it feels to lose someone important to you in front of your eyes. Even when you are strong, there will be times where all your powers will be useless," she added.

"Get used to pain, despair, and..." Aria sighed and threw something at Zach.

Zach caught it with his hand and saw it was a coin made of rock with the same weird symbols like the circle carved on it.

"What is this?" Zach asked with a puzzled and curious look on his face.

"It's a token. It might give you some benefit in the game. But you can also use it to come and access my sacred dimension, to cultivate or to rest," Aria replied sincerely.

"I have no intention of coming here again, though," Zach muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"I said this place scares me."

Aria snapped her fingers, and the scenery changed to the green land with trees, flowers, and the water wall. It was the scenery Zach saw when he was trapped in the illusion.

"Is this good?" Aria asked.

"I am not fond of illusions," Zach answered.

"If you put it like that, then the game you are trapped in is also an illusion," Aria remarked. She then turned around and walked some steps before stopping. She tilted her head back and looked at Zach from the corner of her eyes. "You can summon me here whenever you want. Until then, I will go back to my slumber. See you later, Zach."

Aria then vanished into thin air. Zach glanced around and wondered, "So… how am I supposed to get out of here?"

Suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of Zach, and it said, [Congratulations! You have purchased land in the game! Please name it!]

"This shouldn't be part of the game, though." Zach noticed his HUD was back, and his HP was 1.

Zach pondered for a while and inserted the name 'Aria's Domain' as the name of the place.

He looked at the token and saw its use.

[Benefits- You can cultivate with 2x speed in Aria's domain.]

"I don't even know my regular speed," Zach murmured.

[You can cultivate 1MP in 10 Seconds.]

"Okay. Now that's creepy. Why is this game answering my questions?"

Zach looked at the token to see its benefits.

[Aria's blessing- 1)You can use it infinite times to switch your class any time you want. Active - As long as you want. Cooldown- 24 hours.]

"So I can change my classes any time, but I won't be able to change back in the next 24 hours," Zach muttered.

He was so lost that he hadn't realized that Aria called Zach by his name when she left.

"All this time, she was calling me mortal, but she called me by my name when she left.

Nevermind, he did realize it.

"What a weird girl. At first, she was trying to kill me, and now she is trying to help me. I can't understand girls," Zach uttered as he remembered his ex-girlfriend.

He then looked at his other hand that was holding Aria's feather.

[Name- Cursed Dagger.

Class grade- Mythical Rank.

Use-This dagger will inflict damage of 0.1% (per second) of the total HP of the enemy.]

After reading that, Zach placed his hand on the neck and sighed in relief.

"There is no wound." he looked at his body and muttered, "The burns are gone too."

"I should get out of here." Zach glanced around and uttered, "Open the portal."

Suddenly, a yellow portal appeared in front of Zach. He let out a weary sigh and walked into the portal to exit the dungeon.

Author's Note- Finally, he can go back and get himself healed. On the other hand, Aria gave him some nice stuff. What exactly is their relationship now? Enemies With Benefits. (Pun intended.)
