Unknotting Fate

CHAPTER 10: Summoning The Bitch Goddess

  Ko had been walking through the Unholy Road for 90 minutes and was already exhausted. The constant arousal he had been experiencing made him weak. His old self would not have been tired with just a 90-minute hike.

Luckily, when he left this morning, no symptoms were acting up. He told Sefina, the rest of the staff, and his predictors that he would be heading to a specialist doctor. No one was allowed to visit him or look for him. They can only call him if it's about a rogue god.

 Eventually, he reached the foot of Mt. Fufa–the entrance of 7219's home. A hazy green light shaped like a wall barred access to the mountain.

The watch was the only device to disable the magical barrier blocking Mt. Fufa. This was the magical barrier the royal family placed to keep those crazy 7219 admirers from meeting him and for nobody accidentally wandered off the mountain.

Ko lifted his slayer watch, and the magical barrier scanned it. A passageway for Ko opened, and he began his ascend.

The worst thing happened as he marched on, which no longer shocked Ko—his erection returned. Thankfully, this time the symptom was only physical. There were no visions of him getting it on with 7219. Thank the Gods!

His erection was bulging against his jeans. His legs wobbled like jelly as he struggled to climb further. Carrying a heavy bag pack with extra clothes and his laptop did not help as he struggled against the weight.

Ko thought: So this is my life. I'd not know the difference if demons puke on me right now.

 Gradually, Ko could see the infamous walls of 7219's fortress emerging on the horizon. Once he reached a plateau, where the fort lies still and mighty, his erection and sheer exhaustion disappeared in a flash. He felt sane again, like he had returned to his former self.

An intense wave of happiness permeated his body. But in mere seconds, the joy washed away from his body, and he was miserable again. Because standing across the plateau, in front of the main gate, was 7219, eagerly waiting for him. He looked like a child waiting for his new puppy to arrive.

Kana was wearing a yellow polo and khaki pants. His raven hair was tied in a messy bun. His necklace and the tip of his long black horn glistened against the morning sun.

Despite his wild, child-like attitude, he looked insecure, as he kept fumbling over his hair bun or fidgeting with his fingers. Without warning, Kana teleported. In a blink, he was already beside Ko, unhooking his backpack off his shoulders. The smell of jasmine filled Ko's nose.

"Let me carry it for you." 7219 said as he was unhooking the bag off Ko's shoulders. Ko slapped his hands away. "I can carry it on my own!"

Kana did not take offense to Ko's coldness; instead, he brightly smiled and said, "I can't believe you're here! Have you changed your mind?

Ko barked, "First of all, how do you know that I was coming and second of all, hell fucking no!"

 Despite Ko's mean-spiritedness, Kana's face looked like it was about to explode from bliss. He said, "I should have known that's how it is. That's okay. I'm still delighted you're here."

Ko replied, "Answer my question; how did you know I was coming here, 7219."

"I can feel the aura of anyone who enters Mt. Fufa. I felt you passing through the barrier, so I waited to greet you. Also, you can call me Kana."

Ko sighed, "Look, I'm here to break this curse." Ko waved the red-knitted bow to Kana's face, "To do that, I need my blood flowing in my brain and not down there. I'm not here to be friendly or whatever else you're fantasizing about."
