Chapter 16.1

Will you marry me...?

Soniel whispered in my ear.

Soniels proposal was as sweet as her voice. nove(l)bi(n.)com

It was so fucking sweet.

I was taken aback for a moment and couldnt say anything in response.

...Lets stay calm.

I am sure I heard her correctly, right?

This is confusing.

I came to her to get some bearing on how I should go about handling my attribute.

I could have never imagined that so suddenly would I receive a proposal.

Soniel seemed to understand my confusion, so she untied her arms from my embrace and then stood in front of me with a smile.

Her smile almost caused me to accept her offer as an automatic reflex.

Soniel is a beautiful woman, and one befitting the noble blood of the royal family.

Its honestly hard to believe that shes older than me.

Her pretty face, calm atmosphere, and even the shaman robes draped over her exhibited her charms to me.

Isnt this the first time we are speaking...?

Yes?

Um... Did the princess fall in love with me at first sight?

Thats not it.

The answer that came out of her mouth instantly was a little disappointing.

If it is me, dont I have the looks that would make her fall in love at first sight?

Then why did Her Highness Soniel propose to marry me?

She had clearly asked that earlier.

If I marry her, supposedly I can solve both the attribute issue and the conflict with the first prince at once.

In fact, in the present circumstances where I am in conflict with the first prince, a duel is not that big of a deal.

Even though I cant effectively use my attributes, Im confident that I can easily beat an inferior student like Kyle.

A more important issue than the duel is the political pressure that can be applied by the faction of the first prince.

If the duel ends with my landslide victory, there is a very high probability that the 1st Prince, who would suffer from a huge blow to his ego, would choose to make my life a lot harder.

So, in order to prevent this, I was thinking of a plan to come out with a narrow victory in the duel.

But if me and Soniel are connected

Do you mean to protect me from the pressure of the first prince?

I have goosebumps all over my body.

No, how does she know?

Its hard to stop my body from acting out.

My eyes begin to shake a little from the surprise of the shock.

It is a secret that no one knows besides me and Jihye.

It was the moment when Jihye abandoned the entire world and chose only me.

It was a shocking incident that made me realize just how much blood is flowing in the human body.

The current Soniel appeared more like a shaman than when I first saw her in any shamanic robes.

I didnt see it, I predicted it. Even I cant figure out what happened back on Earth.

Her eyes were calm and motionless.

My agitation subsided as she continued to hold eye contact with me.

In order to accept and handle an attribute, you have to act accordingly with the attribute. The more often and deeper one is immersed in the attribute, the more the attribute grants power to the Awoken. I heard that killing is taboo on Earth. But she comprehended the [Death] Attribute easily. I thought there would be a reason for being able to handle it so well.

I see.

The more one performs actions that match the attribute, the stronger the attributes power one can manifest.

The superior aptitude of Jihye can now be understood.

So youre saying I have to do what [Heaven] wants.

Thats right. Think about it slowly. How your attributes are changing you in real-time.

Soniel took a step back as if she had laid out all the hints I would need.

I chewed on her hints, recalled how I awakened to my attributes, and looked back on my life in the previous month.

I took magic classes.

Thanks to that, the quantity of mana and my mana manipulation ability have grown at an incredible speed.

I can now use some basic magic.

I trained my body regularly.

My strength and stamina have increased a lot.

I also learned simple taijutsu [T/N: Body technique/martial art] that can be used in battle.

After awakening, my appearance is also much better.

Ji-hye says that not only has my face become more handsome, but it has also gained a more masculine vibe.

Maybe thanks to that, I have managed to become close to countless beauties such as Hyerin, Ayoung, and Amer.

I also lost my virginity.

I accumulated sex experience by fucking my exclusive slave daily.

Besides that, what else is there...?
