《An Ancient's Leisure》Chapter 10

When they finally arrived at the hotel, Mary Rose could no longer hold it in. “Who was that man? Why did he want to attack me?” She exclaims. She was still shook up by the whole ordeal and she wanted answers.
Johnny sat on the sofa and leans back. “Like I said, he's a demon cultivator and he probably wanted to use you for dual cultivation.” He says before letting out a yawn. He felt like today was a productive day.
Mary Rose frowns and sits next to Johnny. “What's a cultivator? And what's dual cultivation?” She asks.
Johnny lowers his body and lays his head on Mary Rose’s lap. “I call them cultivators, but they have many names and there are many paths to power. But essentially, they all cultivate a sort of power; cultivating is just a way to get stronger. As for dual cultivation, it’s getting stronger by…” Johnny says with a smile as he creates a circle with his hand before inserting another finger in and out.
Mary Rose’s eyes widen. “Despicable! Didn’t even ask for consent!” She exclaims angrily before a thought occurs to her. “Wait a minute! Is this what you do with me!?” She asks with shocked eyes, unwilling to believe it.
Johnny immediately sits back up and looks away. “I mean…” He starts to say, unsure of how to explain it.
Fury appears on Mary Rose’s face. “Oh my god! You’re despicable! You’re just using me!!” She says as she stands up and crosses her arms, feeling used.
Johnny hurriedly gets up and pulls Mary Rose into a hug. “Babe. It’s not like that. How could I use you? I just thought it was a shame for you to have your constitution and not put it to use. So while we, you know, I couldn’t stop myself from guiding your cultivation. Don’t you feel that you have more energy than usual these days?” He says with a bitter smile, hoping to comfort her.
Mary Rose anger stalls on her face as she thinks about it. “Now that you say it, I do have more energy than usual. And I accidentally broke a glass cup the other day.” She thinks as realization appears on her face. She turns and looks at Johnny. “Why didn’t you just tell me?” She asks.

Seeing that Mary Rose had calmed a little, Johnny sits back on the couch and leans back. “Who wants to be that guy? Hey, girl, your body is special, do you want superpowers? Just sounds weird.” He says with a chuckle.
Mary Rose still had her arms crossed as she looks at Johnny skeptically. Eventually, she also sat back on the couch. “What superpowers?” She asks, unable to hold in her curiosity.
Johnny lets out a teasing grin and she holds onto Mary Rose’s shoulders. “Are you curious?” He asks, hoping for a confession.
Mary Rose quickly turns her head away. “Hmm! It’s not that I’m curious! I just want to be prepared in case something like this happens again! I’ve always had to protect myself because of my beauty and now I have to be worried about creeps who are greedy for power! It’s too much! So it would be nice if I could be more powerful too, of course!” Mary Rose says, denying her eagerness.
Johnny lets out a smile. “Okay, babe. Whatever you say. Here.” He says as he lifts a finger. The finger began to glow and Johnny presses is it on Mary Rose’s head, allowing the light to flow into her mind.
A stream of information flowed into Mary Rose’s mind and her eyes widened.
Johnny had picked out the technique that he thought was the most suitable for Mary Rose and the one that could take the most advantage of her special constitution; The Hell Flower technique. Essentially, she would become irresistible to men and her power would grow higher and higher as more men grew to covet her. If any man was ever lucky enough to succeed in his desire, his life would be at the mercy of the Hell Flower’s power. But the technique would not be dependent on this; even without this factor, it was a powerful technique that could take Mary Rose to the peak. In truth, Johnny had also picked out this technique for a selfish reason; he wanted Mary Rose to cultivate this technique, and allow her to be a seal for Johnny. Johnny, too, would be vulnerable to this technique as Mary Rose’s partner; so if he was to ever stray or betray Mary Rose, he would truly have to pay a price.

After reaching the peak in cultivation, Johnny grew to love limits and he grew to love problems. Although this was peculiar, Johnny couldn’t help it; he just didn’t have enough of these things.
Mary Rose opens her eyes as she finally grew familiar with the technique. She couldn’t help but look at Johnny with wide eyes. “What kind of technique is this!?” She exclaims. “Don’t you have anything better!?” She asks. She had in no way, any desire, to be irresistible to men; she had enough problems as it was and this technique was just asking for trouble.
Johnny frowns. “Do you really not like it? Maybe try it out for a few weeks?” He couldn’t help but try to persuade.
Mary Rose looks at Johnny and immediately realized something. “You do have something else, don’t you!? Come on! Spit it out! There’s no way I want to be a hell flower!” She exclaims, demanding something else.
Johnny lets out a sigh. “I guess have a few more…” He says reluctantly. “Hope about this?” He asks, a sneaky light in his eyes.
A glowing finger was once more pressed onto Mary Rose’s head.
After processing the information, she didn’t hesitate and immediately hit Johnny’s arm with all her strength. “The Succubus Queen!? What the hell kind of technique is that!? Isn’t this worse!?” She exclaims before demanding, “Another!”
Johnny let out a sigh, unwilling. But eventually he placed another finger on Mary Rose’s head.
Mary Rose processed the information once more before opening her eyes and shaking her head. “The Succulent Rose technique? Johnny, you really disappoint me. What kind of girl do you take me for? This is just like the first one but more subtle! Johnny, come on, be serious. Let’s try a little harder, okay?” She says with a gentle voice, hoping to coax Johnny.
Johnny lets out a groan and eventually decides to give up. “Fine! Those techniques are top techniques by the way. You’re really missing out!” He says, bitter in his defeat. Another finger was pressed onto Mary Rose’s head.
“Ice Horizon? I’m not sure about this one either. I don’t think it really suits me.” Mary Rose says, looking at Johnny and expecting another.
Johnny let out a bitter smile.
“The Death Goddess technique? Gross. No.”
“True Shadow technique? Nope. I have more presence than that.”
“The Great Night technique? Maybe.”
Johnny let out a sigh. He was getting tired. Also, he wasn’t sure it was such a good idea to keep transferring these techniques to Mary Rose’s mind, but she didn’t seem hindered at all by it.
“Okay, after this one, we’re taking a break.” Johnny says with caution.
“Okay!” Mary Rose says.
“Okay. Here.” Johnny says, pressing another glowing finger to Mary Rose’s head.
“Hmm. The Flow Goddess technique? I like this one. Okay, I’ll pick this.” Mary Rose says, deciding on the matter.
Seeing that she had decided, Johnny knew that his opportunity was fading. “How ‘bout you think it over? I mean, the Hell Flower is really a top-tier technique!” He couldn’t help but persuade.
Mary Rose immediately turns her face away. “Johnny, if you really think I’m that sort of person, then you really don’t know me well at all. Hmph!” She says, dissatisfied.
Johnny let out a sigh, letting the matter go. To be honest, this Flow Goddess technique was also a good match for him. Just the idea of it reminded Johnny of never ending work; the river doesn’t take breaks, the flow continues on forever. It had a sort of life to it, and a sort of vastness, a great power; like heaven’s rule, the flow was merciless and affected all that was in existence, but the main point, is that it was, in essence, life, it was alive.
Johnny could only accept it.

8 202Absolute Power of the Imagination
(Hello this is a story that I'm making and is basically just my fantasy of what it would be like to be a human with god-like powers and the MC is going to have my personality so you are reading some of my desires.) Everyone has at least once thought what it would it would be like to be GOD but only so many people have actually thought about it deeply and this story is going to be through my thoughts as what it would be like to be a god-like being that was once human (because it would be no fun to read or write what it would be like to be GOD since there are no obstacles as the definition of GOD.) (I'm writing this because my new favorite novel "Michael Ammers: My OP leisure life" has been dropped or is on a really long hiatus.
