Chapter 10: The Elder and another Fiancée!?

….

‘What the hell is going on…?’

Souma was speechless as he stared at the elder that casted magic in front of him…

….

3 Hours ago

The sky was a bit blurred with the afternoon sky mixing with dusk. The clouds were intertwining and creating a overshadow over the area. It clearly was evening at this time but Souma had to visit the Elder before going home. Souma stood in front of the Elder’s house. A house similar to the rest of the buildings however the coloring was dull gray with a brown door. The 1st floor seems to have only 2 windows while the 2nd floor has none. The front yard had flowers growing here and there with dirt patches around. Souma walked past the flowers and went to the front door to knock.

*knock* *knock*

Footsteps were moving everywhere as if someone had to prepare and a crash was heard.

*crash!*

Souma rushed in and saw an elf woman half-naked on the floor exposing her breasts and clothes all on the floor along with several books mixed in. The woman looked at Souma and immediately covered herself and blushed…

“Well...don’t mind me...I’ll just come back...Gochisou-sama deshita!” (Thanks for the feast)

Souma spoke “politely” to the half-naked woman and immediately closed the door….

Souma walked away while in his thoughts.

‘Oh….they were so round...even when she covered them...she couldn’t hide it at all...’

‘Oh oh! I wonder who she was….’

Souma walking a few feet from the door and suddenly he blacked out.

The village people saw Souma and his spectacular performance with the blue light. They continued to observe him as he went to the Elder’s house. Then after they saw Souma spoke for a bit and left the house, A elven woman they knew, stormed out the house with a beet red expression and knocked Souma out with frying pan…

“Ouch that must hurt…”

“I wonder what that young man did…”

“Wow...first we see him at that blue light thing, then….’that’ happens....surprising..”

Several spoke about the one-sided confrontation and Souma was seen being dragged into the house while knocked out. The elven woman began to chant magic and suddenly the door was magically being repaired and placed onto the sockets of the door. The elven woman returned back inside and closed the door. The elf girl dragged Souma on the floor and prompted himself onto a small guest bed and waited for the boy to wake up.

An hour has passed and Souma was still knocked out. The elf girl continued to look at the perverted boy and wondered what the hell was he doing at the Elder’s house…

The elder finished his rounds on visiting the villagers and finally arrived at his house…

‘Hmmm, I wonder if Alveani cooked today...she grew up just like her mother...however her attitude towards men...is quite dangerous….I nearly died one time when I accidently went into the bath….I did not know...I keep telling her but she scorns me with those eyes that she probably learned from her mother….I mean who would do that to their own daughter!?’

The elder opened the door around the same time Souma woke up. Souma was laying in a one-person bed and the same elf girl looked at him with scornful eyes. She clearly wanted an answer out of Souma but he was too busy focusing on the massive headache he had.

‘AH AH!!! MY HEAD HURTS!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? WHO IS SHE…..I mean...I don’t mind looking but WHO IS SHE!?’

Souma’s tsukkomi began to rant until the woman spoke.

“W-who are you! why did you come here!? I have never seen y-you b-before!” The elf woman spoke while stuttering a few words here and there while holding a steel frying pan in her arms.

“Ah! umm..where am I again? OH! Wait the elder’s house! AH! What happened….Ah! my bad...I did not mean to ‘peek’ at you...I heard a crash and wondered what had happen at the Eld-” Before Souma even finished, the Elven woman raised the frying pan and knocked Souma out again….

The elder saw the entire thing and slapped his face in response…

“ALVEANI! What...what are...you doing!....oh boy...that young man...was supposed...to come here….” The elder spoke and Alveani was shocked that this boy actually had business at the house.

“F-father! This boy is clearly a pervert! He...saw me!!” Alveani screamed in retort towards the Elder.

“So...you decided to knock him out!!...ahh you and your mother act the same...well...I guess we can’t do anything until he wakes up…”

The elder spoke and Alveani’s long ears drooped as her father attempted to scold her and she clearly knew she was wrong…

Two hours have passed and Souma was sleeping away. The elder could not wait anymore since it was already dark and he needed to talk to Souma quickly.

The elder could not wait anymore so he finally decided to wake Souma up. The elder began to chant magic and 3 distinct magic circles appeared in the air around Souma. An unknown language was heard coming out of the Elder’s mouth and Souma’s eyes began to move. Souma was awakening and the Elder couldn’t stop his chant. His eyes opened and saw the 3 magical circles floating in front of him…

‘What the hell is going on…?’

As he stared at the magic circles, he was immediately blasted with water. The force of the water flooded the entire room and Souma was drowned with water. The pressure was contained in the room by a magical barrier however everything inside was submerged in water. The elder floated calmly within the water while Souma was freaking out.

*blub AHHHH!!!blarggghhh*

*bleehblubarrrrrghhhh*

Souma tried to speak to the elder but the words wouldn’t come out. Souma was clearly getting irritated and he simply recalled the magic instance that occurred when he woke up. He quickly memorised the magic circles and the unknown magic language that the Elder spoke when he casted the magic and as usual his Theory was proven correct. The window appeared but Souma quickly dismissed them as he had to counteract against the Elder, however…

‘Oh shit oh shit oh shit!! I can’t stop this...Alveani’s mother is clearly better at magic than me….I just learned this recently! oh shit where did Alveani go!!? IS SHE SLEEPING!!! OH SHIT I CAN’T STOP!!’

The elder indeed wasn’t at fault but Souma didn’t know that… Souma was clearly pissed and then he began to chant the same words the Elder did.

‘oh no...OH MY FUCKING GOD SOUMA WHAT THE HELL!! KAMI-SAMA TOLD ME HE WAS A NORMAL PERSON NOT SOME DEMI-GOD WHY THE HELL DOES HE KNOW THAT SKILL ALREADY!? AND WHY IS IT BIGGER THAN MINE!!!!’

Souma began to cast the same spell however the magic circles were triple the size of the Elder’s magic circles and there were 6 of them…

The elder now was freaking out. He did not know Souma was proficient in Magic. Hell, Souma was even better at learning magic than Alveani’s mother, the Advent of the Goddess which her status reigns higher than any king or queen. Makes you wonder how the hell is he married to such a advent but that story is for another time….

‘But seriously how the hell did Souma master such a high level water magic skill in such short notice...like literally its as if he just saw the technique and copied it...’

The circles began to increase more and Souma unleashed his new profound skill onto the Elder’s. The barrier barely held on but Souma created a water vortex within the room. The barrier was leaking and massive cracks began to appear out the barrier. The vortex consumed both the Elder and Souma and they both were knocked out. Alveani came downstairs to check on the noise and found water puddles everywhere. She approached the room where Souma slept in and the room was entirely soaked with water. The water had disappeared but the entire room was beyond repair as the pressure from the water broke everything including the bed...Alveani found her father and Souma laying on the floor knocked out from the pressurized water vortex that had formed from Souma’s skill…

“Oh...Father and the boy are knocked out...The boy...doesn’t look half bad...He’s still a pervert though...men are savages like mother always said…” Alveani spoke to the unconscious Souma.

During this time, Kami-sama played a hand in this magic field that blew out of proportion. Once the two overwhelmed each other, Kami-sama made sure that Souma subconsciously activated his Astral Mind and at the same time transported the Elder into the void.

Mufufu! Damn, I’m good...but still myself is still stupid...first he becomes part demon when he clearly is a go-....well he’s stupid so now we have to save the world first then myself can go back…

Well...myself is gonna have to listen...he has no choice now...since he already got an ancient talent...now….“They” will be looking for him..well now that the Elder is here, I can just leave it to him...I just hope myself isn’t gonna...well he probably won’t….probably…

Kami-sama spoke to himself as he had a premonition of something bad happening….

Kami-sama disappeared and there within the void laid two men. One who is reaching his adulthood and another who clearly is past his prime….

‘What the….why am I in the void...I remember activating that water vortex skill...damn...why the hell did that geezer do that!!’

Souma began to look around and finally stood up. He spotted the elder barely waking up and then…

“UWAA!! where am I!?” The elder sprang up as if he was young again. His actions did not reflect his age and one would think he would die from jolting up like that.

“Whoa whoa! Elder...calm down...now now….I am not gonna be mad or anything but...why the hell did you do that!?”

Souma yelled at the Elder which finally shook him to his senses.

“Uwaaa...oh my bad Souma...wait...how come my body doesn’t feel old...where the hell are we!?”

The elder began to freak out as his body did not feel the same. It was as if his body was restored and he could freely move again…

“Ahh...Well, we are in my void apparently...Now...answer my question please before I cover this room in water…..even though it expands infinitely…”

Souma began to warn the Elder as he was getting slightly impatient…

“Ah! sorry Souma….I had to wake you up….Kami-sama..told me to talk to you…”

‘GODDAMMIT KAMI-SAMA!! WHAT THE HELL!! WAIT!? CAN HE SEE KAMI-SAMA!?'

Souma’s tsukkomi nearly blurted out until Souma began to calm down himself…

"Wait...can you see Kami-sama??"

"Oh no...We can only hear his divine will.."

“Well...let’s hear it then…”

Souma finally calmed down after hearing the Elder's reply...

“Well...the Plains are going to be overrun…”

‘WAIT WHAT!?’

“No no no!! what the hell old man! I thought these plains were calm and whatnot…”

“Ah, that was the case one year ago...but the two kingdoms that lie on opposite ends of the Plains are beginning to wage war….and apparently we are in the middle of it...even though our village is closest to the Forest...I believe we’ll be swept up in this war...Just yesterday...the Kingdom to the East, Algarun sent an envoy to this village...to procure soldiers to fight for their kingdom...and 2 days before that...the Kingdom of the West, Klorim also sent an envoy to alert the village people...We do not like to fight but...we cannot go into the forest since monsters are there....and also there isn’t a place peaceful like the plains…The war will occur in a year since Kimuro traveled to both Kingdoms and they both planned on it...however...I do not know why these two kingdoms began to wage war however I believe it has to do with the need for Malveric grass...the Oryon planet is in anguish since the demon race is waging war on several kingdoms and the only way is to increase their power by Malveric grass...”

‘What the hell...I just arrived here and I’m stuck between a war!? THIS PLANET IS CALLED ORYON WOW!!..What the hell...Malveric Grass...That’s why Kimuro told me that....I better tell Leo and Aerylith that we should move...but where...somewhere peacefu- WAIT I KNOW!’

“Elder...I have an idea...but I am going to have you swear secrecy...from this...I will form a contract and you must never tell anyone about the circumstances that occur in this void...if you obey the contract, I promise the village will be in peace...I cannot prevent war yet...but I know of a place where its safe and the village will be able to coexist with the wilderness…”

'Contract!'

A magical parchment appeared in front of the elder which told the Elder to swear on secrecy or the Village will perish…

Contract: Secrecy ParchmentThe Elder will swear upon oath that he will never reveal the contents that are discussed within the Void. If the Secrecy oath is broken, a terrible fate will befall the Elder and may result in a horrible condition appropriate to the nature of the Elder.

Pact cannot be broken unless the User is willing to betray the contents that are spoken here.

The elder swore to secrecy and the parchment disappeared with Runic writings on the parchment...

“Okay Souma...I’ve finished...I do not know what kind of place or plan you have...but its better than risking the lives of this village...I do not want to tell my wife about the war since she is busy helping the other Advents save other kingdoms from natural disasters...I hope we can do something…”

The elder finished speaking and began to show his hand for a handshake and Souma shook the hands of the Elder and began to tell his story…

“Well...I was a four year old boy who came from…..

….

….

….

“I woke up after falling from the sky….”

….

….

….

“....and now I am here…”

Souma finished speaking his entire story from when he was on Earth to the time when he fell from the sky.

The elder was confused and then shocked…

‘How the hell did Souma obtain Gaia’s void ring...and he has an ancient talent….wait I have to ask….’

“Souma can I see your skills...I might be able to figure out something from your story….”

Souma then spoke..

“Show stats and skills to the Elder”

“OH OH!! SOUMA...boy...I cannot figure the question marks on your stats but I do know one of your skills...the first skill has no name but the description says that you are able to copy any skill and create any skill you desire. As long as you understand the concept, you will be able to replicate anything...be it a person’s skillset or even their body...you can replicate a person’s personality or any animal. Be it god or demon, you have to ability to become both...No one in the history of this world has this ability...Even the gods written in lore were strong but not as strong as you...you have the ability to control anything…”

Souma sat there gaping at his first skill….Souma was beyond shock...then the skill window appeared and prompted Souma to change the name….

‘OH….I am too shocked...I remember saying that nothing else would shock me...but what the hell….I have the ability to replicate anything and become anything….WHAT THE HELL!!!! Oh...I have choose a name….WHAT THE HELL!!!!! I AM OVERPOWERED….Damn...I CAN BECOME A SAIYAN IF I WANT. HAH! FATHER I WILL BECOME A GOD!!! Wait...I shouldn’t be cocky...I know Kami-sama is stupid and rude but my own words are useful...I shouldn’t be too arrogant or my loved ones will pay the price….I have to play it cool or like those shounen mangas the villains will go after my loved ones...’

Souma completely forgot about changing the name and began to think about his future now that he can do anything..Then the window began to ding and ding until Souma finally paid notice to change the name…

‘Ah AH! Okay I will change it calm down...’

“Name….name….mhmm….how about Copy cat?”

??? Skill has been renamed to Copy Cat. Skill details have been updated.

“WAIT NO!! I WAS JUST THINKING!! GO BACK I WANT TO RENAME!!”

Copy Cat skill cannot be renamed.

“NO YOU BETTER LET ME RENAME IT!!”

Skill cannot be renamed.

“DAMMIT WHY NOT!”

Kami-sama said you are stupid that’s why

“DAMN THAT STUPID GOD!”

A spacial rift began to appear in the void and the ground shook. The elder was shocked and began to freak out. A gigantic hand came out of nowhere and slammed against Souma which encased Souma’s entire body and flattened him. A omnipotent voice began to echo in the void…

Dumbass...You are calling yourself stuuuupid…

‘WHAT THE HELL!!! AHHH THIS DOESN’T HURT BUT IT PISSES ME OFF!!!’

The hand began to recede into the Rift and disappear within seconds...

Souma began to get up completely ignoring Kami-sama’s comment and began to think on his future….

‘Is this what I should do...It’ll save the village...and my new family wouldn’t be hurt...but if a war really occurs...they might go to that place behind the mountain...is this the right Path to choose...I have to visit the kingdoms after the village moves...but first….’

Souma snapped out of his thinking pose and began to speak to the Elder who was still freaking out from the Spacial rift that disappeared seconds ago…

“Elder...I must train in here...I also need your help...time will not pass in here so once we return, it will be as if nothing occurred but our experiences will enter our bodies instantly which may put us in a coma...that is what happened when I arrived to the village...it might happen to you too...well I don’t know if it will but I am pretty certain if you work on your body here it will take a drastic toll on your real body...You can do whatever you want but I need you to tell me everything about the world...the name of this world and everything you know about skills and magic…”

Souma spoke in a serious tone which immediately snapped the Elder back to reality after freaking out about the Rift. The elder nodded in Souma’s explanation and then they began…

“Well, boy...this world you came to is called Oryon, the 4th planet that revolves around the gods...This is only one planet out of hundreds...each planet is governed by a god and...in the center of this universe lies a omnipotent one by the name of Garoth...The god who controls the realms...Well, that’s pretty much what the ancient texts say about the gods...however...the god you speak to, Kami-sama is the god of this planet..He was human like us...but he ascended to godship after learning about the “truth”....”

‘Hmm...Kami-sama...is this something you’re hinting at me...You want me to find out don’t you…?’

Souma began to speak in his mind and Souma could’ve swore that he heard Kami-sama laughing but he decided to ignore it….

“I guess...This will be the Path I chose….let’s just hope its a good one…” Souma began to speak to himself as he worried about the future….

The two began to train. Souma focused on his skill mastery and the Elder began to train his body. At first the elder did not know what to do but Souma immediately began his training method which made the elder faint....Once the elder woke up, Souma came up with a training regime for the old man to do in order to increase his physique.

After training, the Elder began to explain the fundamentals of the world. He told Souma the obvious which was Money controls the kingdoms and those with money can do whatever they wanted as long as they had the money for the means to do so. Souma nodded at his explanation as nothing seems to have changed in human nature. The elder spoke of kingdoms that no longer existed as they were wiped out due to war. He spoke of heroes that roamed Oryon and spoke about their stories….

A month has passed and the Elder pretty much explained the history of the planet and the people that reside on Oryon. He even spoke of the beasts that roamed around that were the size of mountains. After a month of explaining the situation Souma was in, now he had to focus on his skills.

The elder taught Souma the fundamentals to Magic and the mana that gathers from the body and exists in every living being. Now Souma had to test it out…

2 months have passed

Water magic mastered (God class water magic unlocked)

Fire magic mastered (God class fire magic unlocked)

Wind magic mastered (God class wind magic unlocked)

Earth magic mastered (God class earth magic unlocked)

All Elementals mastered (Elemental God class magic unlocked)

Combination Elementals mastered (Combination Elemental god class magic unlocked)

Nature magic mastered

Spacial Affinity generated and mastered

Gravitational Affinity generated and mastered

Time Affinity generated and mastered

Atomic Affinity generated and mastered

After mastering these, the Elder was beyond shocked that he decided that he would simply ignore Souma’s omnipotent self and focus on training himself…

Souma looked at the new Affinities he gained after mastering Nature itself. The Elder told Souma that if he wanted to know information about his stats and skills all he had to do was focus at the skill present then the information would appear. This would explain a lot since Souma never really paid much attention to his skills as he got cocky along the way…

Spacial Affinity, the ability to control space.

This affinity enables Souma to create a void plane simply just by wishing for it and can control who enters and who leaves. Souma can bestow this affinity to any object which can render it from any attack. The Spacial affinity allows the object to retain its form at all time. Souma gained this affinity after mastering Nature magic, the magic of all life.

Time Affinity, the ability to control time.

This affinity allows the user to control time and create a Dilation field. The dilation field was a result from Spacial Affinity. Dilation fields can speed up time or slow time within a closed space. Souma is able to control who gets in or out. Souma gained this Affinity after mastering Spacial Affinity, the affinity of space.

Spacial Affinity & Time Affinity combined and absorbed into Astral Affinity.

Souma really had a fun time with his new Affinities as he could increase the output of his new abilities within these fields. Within the void where time ceased to exist, Souma created two dilation fields which increased the speed ten fold. He placed that field upon himself and created another Time dilation field with the time increased by two and placed it upon the Elder. They were accelerating and training more faster without the usual time slowing them down. For every hour, Souma was increased to 10 while the Elder was put at 2 hours per one regular hour. This opted the two to really increase their training time and Souma was going to abuse the system. Souma knew that this would hurt him once he existed the void but he had no choice if it came to protecting his new family. Even though it’s barely been a few days since he arrived but he already got used to Leo as he was almost like Kentaro…

Gravitational Affinity, the ability to control Gravity.

Souma has the ability to control Gravity itself. He gained this affinity after mastering Spacial Affinity. This affinity allows the User to designate and control an area’s gravity center. Souma knew exactly what he’s going to do for the next few months…

Souma looked at the last Affinity while in the Dilation Field...

Atomic Affinity, the ability to create anything and destroy anything.

This affinity allows Souma to control an item’s atomic compound. If he wanted a cookie, he simply had to wish for it and the atoms within the air will materialize into a cookie. Also, he had complete understanding of the Atomic Affinity which enabled Souma to deconstruct any item or person. Simply by looking, Souma could deconstruct a person’s atomic structure and turn him into nothing but air. This also prompted Souma to increase a person’s bodily function. If a person was sick or injured, all Souma had to do was reconstruct the atoms that were lost or reconstruct a person’s immune system to become stronger. Souma also had to ability to create beings but Souma himself locked that ability. If he were to create a new race, he would become a god and Souma felt something bad would happen if he attained Omnipotency. Atomic Affinity was gained after studying the composure of all life. After mastering Nature magic, this affinity was accessible.

There is only one other god who claimed Atomic Affinity.

Souma has gained a new title and overrides the existing titles. Title and effects will remain Locked until more information is gathered.

Another month has passed. For Souma it was an additional ten months while the Elder experienced two months total. During the 3rd month, Souma spent his time mastering his skills that he gained. Within his dilation field, he also opted the gravity change to 200 times. This made his body fall repeatedly to the floor. He could not perform his skills properly thus he focused on training his body...At first he continuously fell due to the pressure as his body was 200 times his weight. He barely moved within the first ‘month’ then it gradually got easier for Souma...The second ‘month’ Souma had finally began to run. At first it was hard to even walk but Souma’s body adapted to the gravity change overtime and now he was able to perform his training regiment. The next three ‘months’ were used for body stablization and Souma began to freely move within the field as his body peaked at performance. The last five ‘months’ were used for skill training and Souma finally completed all his known skills to being mastered.

His forms were near mastered as they all stopped at 80% mastery and the forms drastically changed. His Martial Winds was the only form that stayed at it’s original form and the others changed. Martial Winds basically was the embodiment of all his martial arts that he knew. Demonic Form gave Souma’s skin to turn completely white with red lines etched onto the surface of his skins. He grew 6 demonic wings and they were covered in a black miasma. His body literally spelt out Death and his eyes were completely red while the pupil was black all over. Around his arms, legs and chest were black chains that seemed to radiate a strong, dark miasma. Souma even grew fangs that perched out the edges of his lips. The only thing was weird about this form was that he had a large increase in his libido...meaning Souma was extremely horny….

Dancing Chef Form was evolved too. Souma simply used his Atomic Affinity to materialize cooking ingredients to increase Souma’s aptitude for cooking. He even created a chef’s toque which is a standard white hat that was raised several inches higher. Souma also materialized his cooking uniform that donned white and had his name, “Kurogane” embroidered in an unknown metal substance.

Angelic hands was similar to Dancing Chef, not much has changed but Souma simply generated the tools needed for his form and practised his tailoring skills. Angelic Hands was now a form that can be applied to Armosmithing.

Affinity Enchanter Form did not change. The form was already complete due to the combination of Affinity Blacksmithing and Affinity Armorsmithing however his skills were completely mastered which enabled Souma complete control over his Affinity smithing and he now has the ability to create armors and weapons instantly with the help of his Atomic Affinity.

Souma finally finished his ten months and the Elder finished his two months of body training. The two stepped out of their fields and Souma recalled the fields. Souma was completely drenched in sweat along with the Elder whose composition was better than before. The elder looked as if he lost a few decades and his body was evenly toned and his skin was looking better.

The two gazed at each other and didn’t speak for a few minutes…

‘What the hell old man...He looks ten years younger...wow...’

‘This boy...he grew taller...and his clothes are all tattered up...wow...’

The two just continued to exchange glances and finally the Elder sat down.

“Hahaha! I can’t believe we spent all this time...in here...It’s too bad I cannot tell anyone...but they will be surprised! Even Lilianna will be glad that my body is covered in muscles mufufu!”

The elder began to speak as Souma stood there staring at the old man

‘Haha..Well apparently it was worth it...I guess’

“Well, Elder we should rest a bit since I kind of know that once we exit the void we’ll be experiencing the pain instantly so it’ll be better to lessen that…”

“Okay boy, but how? We don’t have any cooking utensils?? Or even food?”

“Oh, you’ll see”

‘Dancing Chef!’

The cooking uniform instantly appeared and replaced Souma’s tattered clothing. Souma simply created a cooking area within the void and the Elder saw everything. The cooking area simply was materialized. Cabinets instantly appeared with several spices and multiple ingredients inside. Pots and pans materialized on the cooking racks and several cooking wares from butchering knives to skewers appeared next to the stove. A makeshift cooking area had formed and the Elder simply gasped and nearly fainted from the entire area being formed. Then the Elder spoke….

“S-souma! W-what is going on!! H-how!?”

“Mhm, it’s my form I guess?”

Souma purposely gave a vague explanation as he did not want to expose his Atomic Affinity to anyone…

Souma began to heat up the wok and cook. While cooking he began to dance along to a humming beat he created within the field. Within 20 minutes, he had created a wolf meat stir fry with steamed rice. Souma deactivated his Dancing Chef form and the entire cooking set disappeared into the air but the food was left. Souma began to eat but the Elder was still shocked from what had happened…

“Mhmm...so gooooood! I am so glad I have this ability...I have to thank those chefs one day….”

The elder began to smell the aroma that permeated from the plate that was in his hands…

‘Oh...oh! THIS...SMELLS….GOOOOOOOODDD!!’

The elder began to scarf his entire plate down and the food was so good that he began to cry a little.

“Ha..ha! Elder was the food that good that you even had to cry”

Souma spoke as he saw a tear come off the Elder’s face that was full of ecstacy.

“*sniffle* It’s soooo gooooooooood!” The elder wiped his tears and began to talk again…

“Souma...the time that passed was really eventful for me...My body feels so much healthier now and I look like I am ten years younger...I cannot thank you for helping us out...even though you came from another world...I cannot help it but say sorry...that we cannot repay your kindness…” The elder began to slouch and lower his head as he spoke…

“Elder....no, there is no need to repay me. If you were me, you would protect your family would you not? The village may be new to me but the people that took me in, I consider them family and I would risk my lives to protect them…Now raise your head Elder…”

Souma spoke to the Elder in a serious tone and reassured the Elder that they do not have to pay him…

“B-but boy! As an adult I cannot help but feel sorry...we pinned our problems onto you and you barely know us...well...if you don’t mind...I heard you have three wives...would you also take my Daughter’s hand in marriage”

Souma was completely shocked at the end….

‘WAIT WHAT!? ANOTHER ONE!!! OH man….I think this one hates me…I MEAN WHO KNOCKS PEOPLE OUT WITH FRYING PANS!?’

“Elder...I don’t know about that...I think your daughter hates me…?”

Souma spoke worriedly as he tried to change the Elder’s mind…

“Oh...don’t worry she gets that from her mother...she hates men but secretly she wants to be married too...and I think she likes you...Normally she would have scorched you until you turned into ash…”

“Errmm..I think its because she was embarrassed that she couldn’t attack me…”

“No no...I clearly saw the frying pan...she normally doesn’t do that to guys...this is a first I seen from her...I think she likes you boy…”

“Haaa….well let her decide then...I have to prepare for the other girls and their weddings...I mean I equally love them...and your daughter is a beautiful woman...I wouldn’t hesitate to ha-...I mean I would love her too if she decides to marry me….I don’t know her well enough but I would like to get to know her too along with my soon-to-be wives...So, tell her...cause if I tell her I might get knocked out with a frying pan again…”

“Hahaha! Boy...you are really lucky….I wish I was your age again...but nooo I’m married to Lilianna haha but I love her...so you better love my daughter as she loves you too...or I will kick your ass regardless if you are 500x stronger than me….”

“Elder...like I said it is up to your daughter...I still think she hates me…”

“Well...she is like her mother...but we’ll see my boy…”

The two began to finish the food and talk some more about the plan they were going to do. Once they awaken, they would quickly alert the village people that they will be moving. I would tell them to move and I will carry the village within my void. Of course I would put people in the Void but the Elder said it would be best if people didn’t know much about how the Void worked as some could alert the God’s messengers.

During this time, Souma had completely mastered the Void Ring’s power. He can store large objects even an entire kingdom could be stored within the void ring since the space capacity is infinite.

Finally it was time to cancel the skill and return to the village….

“Well, Elder you ready?? I don’t know what might happen since I already mastered my skills but from what I experienced, a few months knocked me out for 15 days...let’s hope that this isn’t as worse as I think it would be…”

“Alright boy...let’s go…”

The two stood up and Souma began to deactivate his Astral skill and…

Back at the elder’s house, the two bodies were soaked with water. Alveani continued to stare at Souma’s body that was soaked in water…

‘Mhmm...he’s a pervert...but...’

Alveani moved closer to Souma’s face and examined his facial features. She started to poke his cheeks and moved closer to his lips…

‘His face is so masculine...however he’s a pervert...’

Alveani continued to stare at Souma’s lips and then…

Souma immediately jolted from his position and kissed the girl. Alveani immediately blushed but she didn’t back away. Souma and Alveani kissed for at least 5 seconds until the Elder spoke…

“Ahem...well then boy...I see there is no need to explain much…”

After the elder spoke, Alveani immediately slapped Souma and ran to her room screaming…

“DAMEEE!!!! ECCHI!!! NOOO~ MY FIRST AHHH!!!!” Alveani was yelling as she closed the door to her room…

‘Well...that was good...I think I made a bad impression...well...I’ll just leave it to the Elder...’

“Well...I see that went awfully bad...but...how come I didn’t fee-” Before Souma finished, his body was immediately enveloped in a blinding white light that rose above the sky. The elder was gazing at the light which engulfed the entire room….

The blinding light began to slowly disappear and Souma and the Elder appeared but their bodies were changed…

Souma grew a few more inches and his clothes were tattered up similar to the clothes he wore in the Void. The Elder looked younger as a result and more masculine. But…

“Whoa...why the hell didn’t we knock out...what’s with the white light…”

“I don’t know boy...but I think our bodies were immediately changed unlike your previous experience...I think it’s because you mastered the Void skill...I think I should talk to my daughter...she might freak out at my appearance but...I think she might faint if she saw you”

“Haaa...Okay..befo-”

Before Souma could finish they were interrupted by several knocks on the door.

People started to knock on the door of the Elder’s house asking…

*knock* *knock* *knock*

“Sir! Sir! Is everything alright? Elder! Please answer!”

“Elder, what is that white light!! Elder! Answer are you okay?!”

Similar voices echoed past the door and the Elder finally spoke…

“Ahh.. I’m okay..everything is fine...nothing to worry…”

“Are you sure elder!!”

The village people spoke unison...

“Ah! yes, I am fine...however I want to schedule a village meeting first thing tomorrow...it’s getting late I think…”

The elder replied to the village people and they began to leave…

“Okay Elder...we’ll tell the guards everything is alright and we have a meeting tomorrow…”

One of the voices trailed off but it reassured both Souma and the Elder…

“Okay...I think I should go...and you should take care of umm...what’s your daughter’s name again? I never got her name since she knocked me out…”

“Ah! Her name is Alveani and she’s very moody sometimes...but she cares a lot about people...even though her actions don’t reflect what she really means….”

'Oh oh! Is this a Tsun tsun girl YES!!!'

“Aha...ha...ha...well then...I should leave...I will come to the meeting tomorrow...and explain everything…”

“Okay...’son-in-law’ *smirk*”

‘Wait what!? NOT YET! SHE HASN’T FORGIVEN ME...I mean I got slapped when I first woke up...well..actually I think I might’ve deserved that one...but why was she near my face….hmmmmmm...oh well...’

“Ah...haha...I think you should explain that to your daughter who is currently listening to us before any name calling resumes…” Souma pointed to the door which a loud thud could be heard…

“Yeah...I’ll be going now…”

Souma walked out of the door and a loud voice could be heard…

“OTOU-SAN WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SON-IN-LAW!!!”

And then Souma headed home where he’ll be ambushed by the girls….

Souma walked to the front door of the inn and noticed the lights were off so he simply walked in as he could sense 3 figures in the dark room. He knew it was Amelia, Akane and Tifania waiting for him but he wondered where Aerylith and Leo were at since it’s nearly time for bed and Souma was dead tired… He managed to arrive at the Inn for some sleep as the Light literally knocked him out cold...As he walked forward a few steps, the 3 figures quickly surrounded Souma and tied him up. Souma was dead beat tired and couldn’t move a muscle so he was tied up and covered with a blindfold. The three lead Souma to the third floor and pushed him onto the bed. A girl to the right, seems to be Amelia, tied up his right arm to the bedpost and Akane to the left tied his left arm to the bedpost. Tifania was working on Souma’s legs and tied the two legs to the bottom bedposts…

‘WAIT WHAT!!! AHHH!! I CAN’T DO NOTHING!! WHAT IS GOING ON!!’

Souma tried to speak but his mouth was stuffed with a cloth he did not recognize…

The three lit some candles in the room and left everything dark except for the bed and surround tables that were covered by candles. Souma tried to break the rope but his body wouldn’t respond thus he was left to the girls and he could nothing about it..

Akane purrred and let out a seductive moan as she removed Souma’s mouthpiece…

“WAIT WHAT IS GOING ON YOU GIRLS!!”

Souma spoke loudly but Tifania quickly closed his mouth with her lips.

“MHMMM...HMMMM...MHMM...mmmhm…”

Souma started to move a bit as Tifania wrapped her tongue with Souma’s and then switched off with Akane. They didn’t let Souma breathe and began to take off his clothes. His shirt was immediately ripped off and they noticed that his body got even better than before. His muscles were toned and his six pack was being continuously rubbed by Amelia’s hands…

Akane switched with Amelia and began to lick Souma’s chest. Amelia on her turn kissed Souma deeply without letting him breathe much...Tifania began to attack Souma’s pants and took off his pants.

The three gasped at Souma’s exposed body and began to move towards his boxers…

Souma could feel the hands moving towards his crotch and tried to squeal but it was futile as Amelia kept her tongue action constant with Souma...Tifania and Akane’s fingers were tracing against Souma’s leg muscles and decreased the distance between their hands and Souma’s crotch and then….
