The Extra's Indifference

'Hmm… That will certainly be more useful than before but it feels like an evil necromancer ring. Which can cause trouble for me, it will be better to not wear it in human settlements. Even though they don't think necromancy is bad, they still don't like it either.' I thought after seeing the status of my new ring.

—---------

Name: Silent Scream of Souls

Rank: [A]

Records of Souls: [A++]

???: [???]

Aura of Death: [C]

Silence: [C–]

Transformation: [D+]

Pain Amplification: [D–]

—----------

Its rank improved and became [A] rank and 3 new enchantments came with the magical items that I connected to it.

[Records of Souls] seemed to me a good enchantment that can be used for interrogating the souls. Though this might be wrong as it was just my speculation.

[Aura of Death] was easy to guess because of its name. It would probably spread an aura of death around me, making me invisible to undead or they would become friendly toward me. Or I could scare some pure people but well, it was boring to do that.

As for the unknown enchantment I got. Well, I didn't know its power and wouldn't probably use it for the time being.

Because I assumed that its power was something to do with fate as Aura of Death came from the armor of an undead and according to my guess, Records of Souls came from the transparent ball that I didn't know what was its use.

So if I went with the same logic, this unknown enchantment came from the Fate Coin. And playing with fate was probably too much for my mortal mind and body.

That is why I didn't even look at this power and inspected the other enchantments.

The [Silence] enchantment degraded by a minor rank while [Pain Amplification] enchantment degraded by 2 minor ranks.

Even though their rank dropped like this, I didn't care about it as my eyes were on the [Transformation] enchantment, which was degraded by 2 whole major ranks.

I knew that adding more magical items in this artifact without adding more mana core would degrade the ranks of the previous enchantments but 2 major ranks was too much.

I tried to transform the Silent Screams of Souls into the baseball bat but it stayed still.

After that I tried to transform into small, similar things. Such as earring, necklace etc. And it worked. So I concluded that I won't be able to use this artifact of mine for weapons anymore, just an eerie but still stylish accessory on my body.

Well, I wore this stylish ring of mine to my middle finger and turned to Aria, who was watching me for hours without moving from her place.

"Come here." I said and patted my lap, as if I had called a dog instead of a human.

Aria trembled violently after hearing my order and with hesitant steps, she came in front of me and sat on my lap while her back was facing towards me. I pressed her back to my chest and wrapped my arm around her waist, putting my hand on her thighs while pressing my chin to her shoulder.

Her trembling increased after my actions making her as if she was scared as hell.

She was really good at acting like a scared cat. Even I once thought that 'was her expressionless face an act too?' but I knew that it was her natural body constitution as I could easily discern her acting. And she was probably trembling because of happiness and excitement as we were in a very intimate position.

But my attention wasn't on Aria or her trembling. It was on Amelia, who was looking at us with wide eyes filled with shame and disgust, but there was a tiny bit of envy in her deep sea eyes.

She was a pure maiden who didn't get out of the church so it was normal for her to feel shame after seeing our intimate position.

But she was also an educated priestess, so she was disgusted by my action as I 'forced' Aria to sit on my lap like a dog, as she didn't know that Aria liked to be treated like a pet.

As for envy, well its reason was obvious. Probably everyone wanted to be cuddled by a divinely beautiful and strong person who will protect them even if this person treated them like a pet. It was human nature after all. Humans were social creatures.They would like this toxic behavior if the person who does this is beautiful enough.

And I was the most beautiful person she probably saw. I wasn't an ugly bastard who forced women but a beautiful bastard who forced women. There was a clear difference between those things.

That is why I decided to use my beautiful bastard atmosphere to bait this fate obsessed priestess.

"You come here too and sit on my side." I said coldly without even looking at Amelia and buried my face in Aria's short black hair.

My headache was more endurable than 5 hours ago, as if my intuition had been telling me to craft this artifact instead of warning me of the dangers.

Though my intuition was still warning me, it was just less than before. Right now it was causing mild headaches comparable to my mana poisoning sessions I made when I was 10 years old.

There was still pain, but it wasn't enough to hinder my thinking.

"Don't look at me like an idiot and come to my side." I said to Amelia with an extremely cold tone because she was just looking at us instead of coming to my side.

Amelia's whole body quivered and goosebumps came over her. She tried to get up from her place but her arm had gone weak, probably because of the fear. Hence she literally crawled to me with a few tears in her eyes as her hands were hurting because of the rocky ground even if it was covered with a blanket.
