Myths Reawakened

Office.

Wayne held Filomina while sitting on the seat of the High Reverend, whispering sweetly into her ears nonstop with their bodies pressed together. He made use of the many pick-up lines from his world, making her lose any shred of critical thinking.

He was too ahead of his time for her to put up any resistance.

Although Wayne knew this wasn’t a path he should go down, what had happened had happened, and he had no other choice. He was willing to take responsibility for whatever harm he was causing her until she tired of him and woke up from the illusion, no longer wanting him to make amends.

Lying against his shoulder, Filomina was so lost in the sweetness of love that she wanted nothing but for time to stop so that they could snuggle forever. Suddenly, she remembered something important. She whispered to Wayne.

“Oh, you’re going to become a legendary mage?” Wayne looked at her in surprise. She was already difficult to deal with at Gold rank. Once she reached Legendary... No, there was no turning back. He had to keep being a scumbag.

“When I entered the Gate of Truth yesterday, I learned quite a lot.” Filomina looked at Wayne with heated eyes, growing even fonder of him. “I shouldn’t have been able to receive the knowledge, but what you did to me changed my thoughts.”

“What change?”

“I should be the one to ask you that. What exactly did you do to me?”

Filomina brought up the time at the Capital Hotel, when Wayne treated an unconscious Filomina from the corruption of an Astral Beast’s flesh. She hadn’t noticed anything back then, but when she entered the Gate of Truth yesterday, she realized that her thoughts were different.

The same change had happened to her physical body. She couldn’t return herself to the state of mind that night, so she couldn’t describe it clearly. If she had to put it into words... she felt like she was gradually understanding everything!

It was similar to what a Forgotten One losing their mind would experience. Filomina couldn’t come up with an explanation other than her young boyfriend’s evolutionary path. The combination of his original bloodline and the appearance of ancient gods could be the reason why she didn’t lose her sanity.
