God Games: Transmigrating as the God of Lust-Chapter 25: Dedicated Follower (3)

Cory jolted awake, gasping, as if surfacing from a deep, dark ocean.

His eyes snapped open, drinking in the familiar, yet disorienting surroundings of his bedroom.

The soft, golden light of dawn peeked through the window, casting a warm glow on the room.

He stared, unblinking, at the ceiling, his mind struggling to reconcile the hazy memories of his dreams with the stark reality of the waking world.

He groaned, grumbling as countless memories flooded deep into his brain, reminding him of everything.

His eyes widened in shock, His breath shaky "I....I....I was just in that apostle’s room, how did I get here?"

His eyes scanned through his chamber, he recalled everything like it was just few minutes ago.

Despite the fact that a day has already passed.

His body felt.....different, as if every cell was humming with a newfound vitality.

As he pushed himself upright, a wave of power surged through him, leaving him breathless and trembling.

His hands shaky "So....so it wasn’t a dream, I really have been marked my a god" He whispered.

Not hiding his excitement.

The 1% Cosmic Essence used to mark him as a dedicated follower of the God of Lust, Crimson still remained in him.

A gift that initiated the blessing he had received. The Mantle of Lust.

His muscles, once familiar and docile, now felt like coiled springs, eager to unleash their pent up energy.

Even though Cory had achieved a near impossible feat, reaching the cultivation stage of a Jade Knight.

Without even possessing a single skill, but now he felt different.

He knew he possessed not just one skill, but still didn’t know how many skills he possessed.

He grinned, enjoying this satiating feeling "That Traveler Kyle, he said his god is the God of Lust right?"

"Lust shouldn’t only be about the pleasurable desires of mortal flesh, there are different ways one could control lust"

"All men lust after something without even realizing it" He took a deep breath, He flexed his fingers, watching in wonder as his fingers seemed to lengthen.

His skin, glowing with a soft, ethereal light. The air around him rippled, as if the very fabric of reality was adjusting to his presence.

The celestial mark of the God of Lust shimmered on his right shoulder, despite being a bearer of Cosmic Essence.

The Will of Existence could not reject him from the mortal plains.

Why?

Because Cory is a bonfire mortal, he isn’t a deity who had descended from his Divine Heaven.

And his presence haven’t broken any rules, there were no rules banning mortals from possessing Cosmic Essence.

Instead gods were encouraged to mark mortals, making them dedicated followers in other to accumulate more faith points and Cosmic Essence.

So after noticing his existence, the Will of Existence simply ignored the mortal.

Kyle had returned Cory to his chamber without hesitation, he knew the Will of Existence would surely investigate.

And if caught with Cory, his presence as a deity may truly be exposed to the Will of Existence.

"So this is what it feels like to be a bearer of divinity?" Cory’s eyes gleamed, the power coursing through him was intoxicating.

A heady rush that left him feeling invincible, like a reborn mortal, awakened to a world of limitless possibility.

Cory’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed "That apostle, yes....I have to meet with him, only him can explain the changes within him"

Without hesitation, Cory charged out of his chamber, he grabbed a black shirt, while also putting on black pant.

Even though this is a newborn star that has only been in existence for only a thousand years.

The fact that it’s settings are that of the medieval era makes it more interesting.

He exited the building, rushing down the streets, Cory ignored the greetings of his fellow villagers.

His actions came as a suprise to everyone.

They knew this wasn’t the way the famous Jade Knight would act. Cory was known to be indifferent.

Mysterious and that made him more attractive to the women of the village, with many wanting to have a taste of him.

The arrival of Kyle changed everything.

Making Cory the second best in the village, but that didn’t matter to him anymore.

He has found a way to grow stronger, to reach the pinnacle of humanity.

**

The door leading into Kyle’s room was locked, his windows closed as well. This was because he wasn’t present in his room.

Right now, Kyle had transformed into a bird.

An eagle, currently on one of the few rooftops, within this period that Cory slumbered.

His body adapting to the Cosmic Essence flowing within him.

Kyle was busy, now that the Village of Anura has been claimed and registered as a part of his Divine Domain.

He could control everything in this village, he didn’t feel so weak anymore, he didn’t feel so powerless anymore.

Powerless of the fact that he had not a single offensive S-ranked skill at his disposal.

But this changed everything, he found himself able to hurt the mortals living in his Divine Domain.

Killing them was as easy as crushing an ant, he could even inflict them with various sickness.

’So this is how gods felt when they punished mortals huh? I guess I underestimated my strength as a god’ Kyle thought.

He softly exhaled "I was planning on creating numerous artifacts with the Jade Essence I currently possessed, and even produce mortal level skills"

"But now that Cory currently owns the three skills he received from the Mantle of Lust"

"He should be fine right?" He sighed, "There shouldn’t be need for me to create more skills for him right?" Kyle asked.

While he was in deep thoughts, something caught his attention.

Not to far away, his senses caught something interesting, Cory was rushing towards his room.

His eyes gleaming with excitement, if Kyle had a face, he would be smirking right now "Hehehehehe, speaking of the devil...."

"It seems my dear young dedicated follower has returned to pay tribute to his god"
