The God Paradox

1.4 - The Body

The gentle breeze of wind hitting my naked body made me feel a bit cold; I could feel the hairs on my body stand on end. The sun's rays, though, had the opposite effect, comforting me and making wherever they touched more warm.

With a yawn, I opened my eyes and struggled to get up; my muscles were all sore, and that's when I noticed something strange.

Similar to what I did when I was in the cave, I decided to use the Sixth Sense to get a view of my body, and what I saw left me speechless. In the past, I wasn't a very handsome guy, but now it was different.

The body that the mysterious knight had given me was simply beautiful. My face slightly resembled his, but I didn't have a beard, and my hair was white. My eyebrows and eyes had extremely dark black strands that resembled makeup, and my eyes were deep blue, like the depths of the sea during a full moon.

Some would even say I was a bit feminine now, but the contrast with the extremely defined and muscular body was significant. Every part was excessively sensual and appealing even in the erogenous zones of the body. I suppose the world forced me to be charismatic due to my nature.

Still, I intended to bring the knight back to life. It just occurred to me that I hadn't even asked his name. But that didn't matter now because I had to fulfill my part of the deal.

<<The Man of Sin: Complete>>

<<Rewards: The First Sin updated, new sub-skill Snake Form, can turn into a snake at will.

Choose an epic or minor skill to evolve:>>

I'll go with Poison for now. It could have been more useful in the previous fight, and now that I'm human, I have more mobility to use it.

<<Basic Skill: Poison>>

<<Evolving>>

<<Assassin upgraded, new sub-skill Poison, deadly poison.>>

To be honest, I was kind of hoping it would become a different epic skill than the ones I have, but it'll do for now.

<<The Slave Trader>>

<<Kill James III>>

<<Time limit: 7 days>>

<<Rewards: A new skill.>>

Hey! You're not the one giving me the new skill, and what's with this time limit?

<<"This mission seems to have a time limit, sir. Apparently, if you don't kill the prince within 7 days, the contract will become invalid.">>

What? I didn't agree to that, Artemis! I could lose all my skills, you know!

<<"Stay calm, sir. The Voice of God recognizes that you already have what is necessary to kill the prince in question. Honestly, as a last resort, invading the castle with rituals wouldn't be difficult. Besides, you would still be the Antichrist even if you lost the skills.">>

It's not quite like that; my life would become significantly harder.

But anyway, there's not much to do now, right? Let's go, Sixth Sense, where should I go?
