Warlock of War: My Ares System



And upon returning to the young Orion, who was shivering with fear as he saw some otherworldly being tear apart people he most likely thought was invincible. In addition, I couldn't help but smile and pamper him as he was just too cute. Shivering with fear, shrunk back into a ball, and flinching whenever I moved my hand towards him… it was just way too fucking cute.

"W-What are you?" The young man asked while I finished reading a couple of miscellaneous panels, not doing much but reminding me of where I stood in this world. 

"I'm nobody really… but you, you're somebody special. I doubt you know who you really are, so don't ask much and just get some rest… it's okay… I'm here for you," I gently smiled once more, stroking his short brown hair. He soon fell asleep in my arms, and as I began to get only more interested in this world, I decided to stay here for a bit longer. 

…

(??? POV) 

"Ugh… it hurts…" I lightly whimpered, my legs and arms balling back up again while I lay against the scratchy surface behind me. The tree wasn't the most comfortable of spots to lie on, but it did its job of allowing me to sit up. 

As of now, I was so injured that it was potentially life-threatening. Sure, the injuries were meant to be more painful than deadly, but the numerous amount of them, which had been stacked over and over, was eating away at my life. Everything was going dim. I was going to die soon… 

"D-Did you leave?" I questioned the blurry surroundings around me. I could hardly see, but if anybody was there, I needed them to help me. Quick. 

"I'm still here," A heavenly voice graced my ears. It was so sweet to hear the voice of the one who saved me. I even almost began to cry from its incredible warmth. 

"C-Can you get me to a healer?" 

"No can do…"

"I-I'm going to die… please… help me… I don't want to die… I can't die yet… please… you have to help me," I begged, sobbing into my knees while my blurry surroundings began to contort and twist as if space itself was reacting to my misery. 

"Oh, you poor thing…." 

A warm hand touched the top of my head, sending a calm wave through my head. It eased my pain and even allowed me to see once again. It was as if an angel- no, a goddess had touched me and had come to help me… finally… after all my suffering, I was finally given something in return. 

"Are you a goddess?" 

"To your world, I might be one," The pale face smiled, welcoming me into her warm embrace. It felt good. It felt like I was hugging my mother again. 

"W-What does that mean?" 

"There's no need for you to know. Just be aware that I won't be here forever… and, if I may ask, what's your name?" 

Normally, giving away your name so easily would be a stupid move, but just being right beside her made me feel calm. It made me feel at ease. It made me feel like I could trust her with my entire body and soul. 

"Atlas." 

"A-Atlas?" The goddess stuttered, slightly taken aback. 

The warm golden sunshine peering through the canopy of leaves above tickled her pink lunar eyes. They looked at me as if she was looking at a ghost, and as I slowly began to shake out of fear, she then calmed herself down and smiled. 

"P-Please don't hurt me…." 

"I'm sorry, I just overreacted a bit," She lightly chuckled, but I could tell deep down that she was still unsettled. The way her eyes cautiously grazed over me and the way her aura almost seemed to watch me carefully like a beast carefully stalking its prey. "So… Atlas… how did you end up like that?" 

"I was too weak… I thought I could use my brains, but the difference in numbers, skill, strength, speed… I was outclassed in every way." 

Suddenly, the woman began to laugh. I blushed profusely with embarrassment, and my eyes drifted downwards. I knew I was weak, but she didn't have to rub it in my face… also, didn't she come here to make me feel better?

"Oh, no, no, no… It's okay, I'm sorry. I wasn't laughing at you. I promise," She smiled. "It's just that in the future, I have this feeling that you'll be somebody strong. You'll become so strong that hardly anybody can oppose you. And you'll have friends that love and care for you." 

"I don't believe you." 

"Well, you can choose what you want to believe, but know that it will only get better from here." 

Her radiant smile and lunar eyes pierced my face. She was beautiful. The most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. The way her long purple and pink hair drifted past her waist and pooled on the crisp blades of grass below… the way her soft pale fingers ran through my hair, calming me down… the way her aura comforted me with all its might… it was all amazing. I loved it. I loved her. 

A blush flushed through my face as I couldn't bare to look at her anymore. She was too beautiful for me to even be in her presence. I didn't deserve to even like her. I didn't deserve to fall in love with her, but… somehow, I still wanted to try and be with her. 

"Hm? What's wrong? Am I too pretty for you to even look at me?" The goddess smiled teasingly but clearly didn't expect my next words.

"Y-Yes… you're too pretty." 

"O-Oh… okay…" The woman stuttered, taken aback once more, before moving me out of her embrace and then standing up. "Atlas, I want to tell the truth. I also want to show you something… but you can't be too surprised."
