The Last Primal

After Naybeah's request has been resolved in a satisfactory manner to all but the amazon herself, the rest of the lunch ended peacefully. 

Everyone has been given a spare room to settle for the rest of the day. They had no other tasks to do, the Mistress made sure so her little champions would be able to recover to their best states for the upcoming event the next day.

As each was escorted to their room and said their goodbyes, Aiden could finally sigh with relief as the door closed behind him.

He was hoping that he wouldn't have to speak up and offend any of the girls, but he found it increasingly more and more worrisome to traverse the waters between the girls. Each one of them, -shockingly even her sister and the gentle and shy Galina also-, have joined, banded together for the single goal to go after him.

He wasn't as dense as he portrayed to them, he clearly understood their folly, their desire. Still, he wasn't like the others. Though physically he was but a 17-year-old young healthy man, he was actually much, much older than that.

He lived after all a full 21 years as a member of the modern, Urban Society, grew to adulthood, studied in an accredited university, and also found the love of his life in the sister of his best friend.

Sadly, that love could never truly blossom, as that life was rudely taken from him, and he was thrown back to an old-new world, which as it later turned out, was his origin place of birth, Eora.

So, despite looking like a young teen, he had the experience of two lives, and whilst he never had the chance to truly enjoy each other, he still held Kat fondly in his heart. Despite this second chance, he still couldn't fully process that loss, and move on. Maybe it was because she could still be out there living her life, and hopefully still holding him fondly in her heart. 

After all, time seemed to flow differently in the two realities. What was 21 years for him in that life, it was thousands of years in the other. If going by that logic, his time here would barely be half a day there. 

From what Aiden knew, maybe it was just dawning the next morning after the incident and his abrupt demise. She may still be held in the hospital, just waking up and realizing that her boyfriend was taken from him forever.

Because of these thoughts, he couldn't just give up on her, he couldn't just simply move on. If there was a chance, no matter how minuscule, Aiden would definitely take it, if it meant they could be reunited. 

Unless all avenues were closed, and hope was definitely lost, he wouldn't be able to let go of this chance. Though he cared for everyone in his party, before resolving the matters of his other life, he couldn't be truly happy.

Then again, the matter wasn't as simple as just gathering enough strength and power and traverse dimensions, universes. No, he couldn't just turn to his friends and allies and say 'Hey, I need to visit my past world where I actually came from and reunite with my true love! Hope you understand and can help!'

No, this was a matter Aiden knew he had to resolve by himself. 

  Shaking his head, Aiden sighed, forcefully clearing and calming his mind from these clouding thoughts. There was yet another issue that needed his immediate attention, and this day is his last chance in peace for a while, he wanted to do everything in his power to complete the System Quest.

Sitting down cross-legged at the center of the room, Aiden slowly exhaled, closed his eyes, and willed his system interface to appear in front of him.

He quickly brought up his latest, and most pressing quest reading it through one more time, making sure he wouldn't miss any detail hiding between the lines.

[New System Quest: Path to Divinity - Part 1: Beyond the Mortal Limits

Difficulty: S+

Objective: Learn more about the Primordial Laws of the Universe, Create the skill 'Basic Divinity' and reach a basic understanding of it (Level 1 - Progress: 25.00% required)

Reward: Unlock Spirit Power Level 3, ????]

The only clue he received before was that '[Enlightenment Awaits in the Promised Land.]' which at first didn't seem to be helpful, but after his last visit to Haven, he felt that he was on the right track.

The changes in Gupta, the rapid advancement, that statue he upgraded through the system, and the gathered Faith, was probably the clue, the key in resolving this current problem.

He wanted to use the rest of his time before tomorrow to do everything he could and try completing this quest, so he could finally break through to the next level and strengthen his reserves further. 

He wasn't exactly sure what would await him once he accomplished this task, but for some reason, he felt that he needed to cross this milestone, complete this hurdle before being thrown to the Battleground.

He heaved a sigh, releasing a slow and long exhale once more, gradually calming his nerves. 

Once he felt the cool, the clarity return pushing his agitation, his impatience to the back of his head, Aiden switched over to the third, Domain tab in the system.

As soon as he felt the connection growing inside him, he gently waved his right hand in front of him drawing a sloped dome in the air.

Behind the arch his hand drew, the air began to buzz with an overflow of energy, before suddenly the air seemingly ripped to shreds, tearing away the very fabric of this reality.

In a few short moments, a [Gateway] was opened, giving a glimpse over to the other, paradisiacal scene to the other side. Taking just a couple additional seconds, Aiden glanced over to his minimap, making sure that his friends were all okay and he could leave them for the rest of the day without worry.

Seeing as everyone was seemingly okay, he only smiled as he saw that the girls once again gathered at Lily's room, despite the small disagreement from before they didn't miss the chance to meet and discuss. 

Though they were competitive, it seemed that they did grow closer and that they were good friends. He could be assured that no matter their goals, they would continue to protect each other and that they would face the threats and dangers as a unified group. 

He could finally rest assured that his dear sister, finally found people, true friends she could rely on. 

He didn't need to worry that Galina would be left alone and isolated from the rest of the party. Her secret, her origin of being a shunned creature, a mere goblin no longer mattered, as she was within like-minded, good souls. Seeing her status, Aiden smiled, as he knew she was enjoying herself. She was happy, without the worries of the past.

After taking a quick look at the sole resident of the room to his left, Aiden smiled and shook his head seeing that his friend was left alone, forced to stay in his room. The girls went as far as to send Sam and Biggs to guard his door, not allowing the only other man to peek at them.
