[BL] Quick-Transmigration: Only You Can Heal Me

Arc 1 Chapter 5: Aphrodite

[Aries.. How is everything going? Did you manage to save him?]

{Yes, M'lady Aphrodite. I managed to pull his soul into the space just seconds before it scattered. He is inside the tutorial world right now.}

[That's good to hear, I'm relieved. Only he can help him and vice versa. Say, Aries... Did the two of them meet again?]

{They did. Actually, I am a little surprised. They apparently fell in love again, right after they met. It's as if their souls had never been apart, instantly recognizing each other}

[This is not all that surprising. Their love ran deep, even way back then. Never have they loved again since they separated.]

{I can imagine, M'lady.}

[Aries, I will not sugarcoat my words. They have realized something is amiss. You must be cautious. They will try every means possible to interfere. You are allowed to help the little Mortal even more than before, and stick close to his soul, so you will not lose him, should they use more straightforward means]

{I understand. I will reduce 'points' and 'coins' needed for transactions. I will also monitor anyone he wants me to closely. Additionally, he will be able to learn 'skills' while being inside the 'task world'.. But, M'lady, are you certain you want me to do this? I know we've talked about this before, but you-}

[It's fine, just do it. I need to help him, and only the little Mortal can do so. I will cut our connection now. Concentrate on you task and only on your task. Other matters are of no importance.]

{Understood, M'lady}

3rd Person POV:

Arthur was slowly getting familiar with his work, when he heard Pancake's voice speak to him. It startled him slightly, since the system never took the initiative to speak first.

{Host Edwin Regulus hat been promoted. Additional features will be available as of right now. Points, as well as coins, needed for transactions will be reduced. You can now ask the system for more help while inside the worlds, as well as learn new skills even while doing tasks inside your world.}

His eyes widen in surprise by this sudden..gift. 'Why did I get promoted?', he asked with slight suspicion. {It is a preventive measure. These tasks just became more dangerous, since an unknown entity started messing with the worlds. Danger levels are being re-adjusted. Now there's only three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard and Hell.}

Arthur wanted to answer, but a screen appeared before him:

{Ding!}

{New difficulty level description:

Normal: No interference detected - Danger levels within normal measurements

Hard: Slight interferences detected - Danger levels slightly above normal measurements

Hell: Strong interferences detected - Danger levels way above normal measurements - One mistake or wrong step will lead toward the death of the host.}

He read everything and sighed. 'So.. This entity will at least not scatter my soul, right?', he asked and watched the screen disappear. {Edwin, you have to be extremely careful with Hell worlds. If you die in these too often, they will find your soul and scatter it. You are an 'invader' as well, so finding you will take 5 deaths in Hell difficulty worlds. This doesn't count for the other ones though, since their influence won't be as strong there}

'I see, thank you. I will be careful.', he answered while rubbing his temples with his hands.

{You're welcome, Edwin. Do you wish to purchase and learn skills?}

'I can? But I shouldn't have points left?', he immediately answered.

{You forgot, Edwin. You had a free skill in the beginning. I used it on photographic memory, so you should have 700 points left.}

Arthur's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement, making his golden eyes even more captivating. 'I see! I did forget about that! Show me, which can I learn? I will do so right now!'

{Ding}

{Learnable Skills:
- Acting [200 points]
- Sense For Danger [200 points]
- Guitar [200 points]
- Martial Arts [200 points]
- Medicinal Herb Knowledge [200 points]

Please choose, Host. Available Points: 700}

Arthur stared at the screen thoughtfully. 'Will the next world.. Involve fighting?', he asked cautiously.

{This System cannot answer this question, since even I do not know the context of the coming world}

'Okay, then.. I'll take Martial Arts, Sense for danger, as well as Guitar.', he answered.'It's better being safe than sorry later on', he added. He watched the screen disappear.

{I understand.. Subtracting points. Host now has 100 remaining points left. Pausing task and pulling host into the training area. Time will flow differently from now on, Edwin. Only a few seconds would have passed in this world}

'Thank you, Pancake', he said and started feeling faint...

~150 years (or 150 seconds in the task world) later~

The boy sleeping on the desk woke up from his short nap. But only he knows..for him, it has been a long, long time. He buried his head in his arms. 'That was tiring... I could really use some stress reliever..', he thought and sighed inwards.

{Edwin, do you want me to monitor the main leads?}, Pancake asked. Arthur shook his head. 'Not now. First off, they don't even know me yet and secondly.. Well, they're actually not worth it. They're both stupid as sh** so.. No need. With my new sense of danger, I can easily avoid what they throw at me', he answered and got back to work.

{I understand, Edwin. But once you have met them, I will analyze potential dangers you might not be able to sense, such as drugs or poison.}, Pancake added. 'You can do that, thank you', he answered with a small smile and stopped working. It was actually unavoidable, but..they became relatively close in these years and Arthur really liked pancake a bit. He always wanted such pure friends and it seemed that he found one. He shook these thoughts away and got back to work, which he actually had to familiarize with again after so long.
