Chapter 105: Chapter 105 - New Skill, Link

Darius tried opening his mouth to say something… he was trying to find any possible way to get out of there without being touched by Persephone.

There was an ominous feeling around her hand, some kind of dark energy was getting released by it, and it was getting closer and closer to Darius.

"So, you don't know what happens if I were to touch you, huh?" Persephone muttered when she saw that Darius started to shake, straining his muscles to move away from her.

She smirked and caressed the right side of his cheek. Her white skin and slender fingers ran along Darius' perfect skin, and instantly Darius heard a distinct noise in the back of his mind.

-Beep!

[You have gotten in physical contact with Persephone, the Queen of Death.]

[A strong death energy is entering your body.]

The voice in Darius' mind wasn't Ariel at the moment, but a robotic one, Just like Persephone had said before Ariel couldn't communicate with Darius in this place.

[Because of the great influx of energy within your body, you have gotten a skill.]

'A skill?' Darius frowned.

There was no way that receiving a skill was a bad thing, right?

So, why had Ariel warned him against her touch?

It didn't quite make sense. However, Darius waited to learn more about the skill he had just received. Skills were usually a good thing, but it might be negative this time around… possibly.

"What? You're surprised to receive a skill from me?" Persephone said with a smile. "With that skill, we'll see one another a lot more, don't worry."

Darius frowned slightly as he felt himself regain control of his body.

Darius opened his status and looked over the skill section directly, as he wanted to know what Persephone had just given him. There was a good chance that it wasn't good, especially based on what she had just said.

When he saw what the skill was, Darius became even more confused than before.

[New Skill - Link]

[Link: You are now linked with the Goddess Persephone. Every time you fall asleep, you will be sent to Persephone's personal space.]

'That's it?' Darius thought.

Honestly, the skill he had received didn't seem terrible. This place didn't seem all that bad for the short time that Darius had spent inside it.

He would also be with a beauty every night. There wasn't any downside to this skill.

So, why had Ariel warned him against it?

Darius tried to think of something, but nothing came up. He simply couldn't see a downside to this skill; it was honestly quite cool since he would be able to learn more about Goddesses this way, and he would be able to learn more about the Void and everything inside it.

"Alright, I'm done with you." She snapped her fingers in an instant. "Here you go, enter this portal, and you'll be meeting with that bitch, Ariel."

"Oh, and see you soon."

Darius frowned as he barely spoke, trying to think of something to say.

"Uh… can you tell me why you hate Ariel?"

"Meh, she's just annoying. Everyone likes her because of her beauty and her charm, but I can see through her fake facade."

"So… you hate her because she's liked by many?" Darius asked, unsure if he was understanding this correctly.

"Exactly!"

Darius tried his best to contain his giggle as it seemed that Persephone was simply jealous of Ariel. That's where her hatred came from. Even if Persephone had no real reason to hate Ariel, she just did. That was the type of relationship they were currently in.

"Now, shoo, see you in your nicest dreams."

Darius felt something push him inside the portal, and he went right inside. When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't in this cold and dark place where Persephone had been living, but in a literal paradise.

There was a bright pink sky with beautiful clouds in there. In front of Darius was also a huge building that resembled the Pantheon, which was situated in Greece. It was a grand and definitely of a Goddess.

Nevertheless, Darius had to admit that Persephone and Ariel were truly opposite in terms of taste.

Darius couldn't wait to find out if he would be the same, considering their personality.

With that said, Darius stood up from the ground as if he had fallen because of the push Persephone had given him.

However, when he tried to stand up, he realized that his head was currently resting on something extremely soft.

'So soft and squishy…' Darius thought.

He opened his eyes as much as possible for the first time, and he realized that he hadn't fallen onto the cold hard floor.

He was currently in Ariel's lap!

Darius currently had his head lying on her big, juicy, and, more importantly, thick thighs.

Darius could clearly see her beautiful, long pink hair falling down on his face. However, that wasn't what he noticed at first; it was the huge pair of breasts that were right in Darius's face.

'Mhm, it smells so good!' Darius thought.

"Ariel…? Is that you?" Darius finally asked as he came out of his stupor.

Ariel smiled widely. "Yes~! You're finally awake!"

"Did Persephone do something to you?"

"Did Persephone try to scam you?"

"Did Persephone touch you?"

All kinds of questions started coming out of Ariel's mouth, and for some reason, Darius didn't feel like telling Ariel that Persephone had touched him since that would just make things more complicated, considering their love-and-hate relationship.

It was much better to keep her in the dark for the time being.

"No, no, and no. Nothing much happened. We just talked about my death, and then she sent me in here to meet with you."

Ariel released a sigh of relief. "I was so worried when you were stuck in the Void. I'm sorry if I sounded cold to you. It was never my intention."

Darius nodded weakly as he didn't move at all. After all, his current position was literally heavenly. He was in the lap of a Goddess. There was no reason for him to move.

However, this dream-like position suddenly vanished as Ariel stood up, carefully helping Darius up.

Darius could finally get a good glance at the Goddess, and only a single word came up in his mind.

"Wow…"
