Strongest Superhuman System

Mark suddenly felt a great surge of motivation fill him as he wanted to reach the next rank as quickly as possible to see what sort of gift the system would give him. But first, he read through the tabs that opened to explain the gift that the system was giving him.

[The user has gained a gift: Cursed Item [Key To The Underworld]]

[Cursed Item [Key To The Underworld]: A mysterious key granted as a challenge from Thanatos, the god of death. It is a mystical item that, when activated, transports the user to the depths of the underworld where they must confront challenging tests of courage, wit, and resolve to progress further.

Successfully passing through the test will unlock valuable rewards for the user, but failure will mean immediate death.]

A key suddenly appeared in the air in front of Mark and Mark quickly reached out and caught it before it could fall. The key was purple with many black carvings around it. There was a foreboding aura surrounding it with a cold ambiance that made Mark's entire body shiver once he touched it. This was the key to the underworld.

It looked like a regular key, but Mark could tell that it was not a regular key at all!

"Why in the world did Thanatos give this to me? And why is the god of death giving a challenge to the champion of the god of games?"

Mark was very confused as he looked down at the strange new gift curiously. He didn't understand why the system gave him something that was gifted by the god of death. Mark heard from Sozin that the other gods were not happy about how Sozin chose him as his sole champion, so Mark knew that the other gods did not like him.

If the god of death gave something like this, then it can only mean bad news for him!

Did Sozin even know about all of this? Mark only had this thought for a moment before he immediately nodded. There is no way that Sozin wasn't in on this as well. In fact, Mark was sure that Sozin was at fault for this in one way or another.

[You really need to stop dissing me so much...]

...

"... Didn't I tell you that you're my favorite? I wouldn't do that to you without a good reason!"

Mark suddenly blinked in surprise as he found himself disappearing from his room and reappearing in that bright blue space that Sozin always brought him to whenever they wanted to talk. Sozin was standing in front of Mark with his hands folded and a frown on his face, and Mark could tell that Sozin was not happy. Is he angry that I said this is all his fault? Does he want me to apologize?

He can't possibly think that I was dissing him. I was just joking.

Sozin's glare suddenly increased, and Mark put up his hands and took a step back as he felt a small tremor under his feet! What the hell!?

"Alright, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You're not at fault, and I'm sure you have a good reason for it. Just relax and don't throw me down. I don't want to know what it feels like to fall from this high up!"

Mark was sure that Sozin would just throw him down if he didn't apologize! Sozin might be a god, but Mark could see a lot of childish attributes in Sozin! Sozin was vindictive and he didn't mind stooping low to get back at someone who insulted him. Mark didn't want to know what a god's anger felt like! Sozin would probably just toss him into a volcano or something!

"Pfft! Puahahahahahahahha! I can't believe you fell for it! I wasn't even serious, and you started apologizing! Of course, I wasn't going to toss you into a volcano; you think I'd want to just kill my only champion! I would have only put you into the Kraken's stomach for a few days as punishment!

You're hilarious! I'm sure if I went a bit further you would have gone on your knees!"

Sozin suddenly started to laugh loudly as he floated into the sky again, and Mark couldn't stop the small twitching of his brow as he watched Sozin floating around him without a care in the world. Mark couldn't believe that this annoying bastard was his patron god! He really thought that Sozin was angry this time, but Sozin was just being a dick as always!

If there had been a chance for him to choose another god as his patron god, then Mark had no idea if he would have chosen Sozin again.

"Of course, you would've! You fucking love me! I can tell you're really grateful to me for everything I've done for you! I even see it in your thoughts! But maybe you would have chosen the goddess of life. She's got that big 'boing boing' that you love so much!

She's even bigger than your girl Arit!"

Sozin came really close to Mark as he said this, and he even put his hand under his chest and raised his brow suggestively as he cupped imaginary breasts and jiggled them around while mentioning the goddess's breasts.

Mark couldn't stop his mind from imagining a large-breasted goddess wearing an innocent off-shoulder white gown and floating towards him with a kind smile on her face as she caressed his face softly and gave him the power to vanquish evil.

Her generous, bountiful breasts and voluptuous hips would be enough to grant him motivation to fight for centuries, and there wouldn't be a day where he doesn't pray to have her grace his bed!

But that was not going to happen because he was stuck with Sozin for life!

"Hey, cheer up! Even if you don't have the goddess, you still have that human girl Arit! You know, I've seen many people give up their loved ones and abandon them to die just because they wanted more power; you're the first person that I've seen stand up to me like that to save their loved one. It shows that you really love that girl. I wouldn't understand what that kind of love is.

I don't really get what you humans call love or lust, but I can't help but be impressed with how you handled it. Well done, champion."

Mark smiled slightly as he heard Sozin praise him. Even though Sozin was in a child's body, Mark couldn't help but feel like he was being praised by his father, and it gave Mark a deep sense of accomplishment and pride as he unconsciously stood straighter and grinned happily.

He thought that Sozin would be disappointed in him for trying to give up a mission in exchange for Arit, but he was just glad that wasn't the case.

Sozin was a god, so Mark already guessed that he wouldn't understand human emotion, but Mark was happy that Sozin trusted him enough to allow him to make his own decisions regarding his missions and the way he wanted to live his life. Mark shook his head and tried to get back into serious mode as he brought up the key.
