Familiarity

It was inevitable for Michael to be at the center of attention; even when they had just landed, it was his aggressive questioning of the Goddess that started to gather their attention for him. It was as though he was a cynosure to all eyes just by being himself.

Everyone envied him, especially boys, and the Rock was not an exemption. He was, however, surprisingly not being proactive. Normally, when he was on Earth, he would always act like an obnoxious person, for he was always opposing Michael at all odds.

Thankfully, he was being backed up by the boys, so he was not completely hated, only by girls, especially the fans of Michael. Yet, with his looks and physique, it was imminent for him to attract some of the girls.

Thus, even with his deplorable personality, no one had the guts to be at odds with him, and girls let him be as long as Michael said so.

That's how influential Michael was; with just a single word from his mouth, all the girls would obey. It was not even an exaggeration to say that if he told the girls to strip down their clothes and stand naked in front of him, they would literally do it only for him.

Admiringly, Michael never tried to abuse his power, and it was also how he gained the hearts of the girls. Despite the boys envying him, they could not despise Michael at all.

He is simply kind and compassionate… and even they see Michael as a humble person.

Therefore, aside from their hateful glare, the boys only stood, and it was the same for the Rock, surprising them.

Little do they know that the Rock was calmly waiting to receive his blessings, arrive in another world, gather all the beautiful girls, and manage his kingdom as a king.

Surely Michael could not amass all the beautiful girls in another world, right? And given his personality, he would not be surprised that he does not fancy a single girl to be his girlfriend.

Most likely they would just follow Michael and dream of becoming together with him and as his wife.

Of course, it would depend if Michael has the power to be their leader.

On the other hand, the Goddess had his attention set on Michael from the start… even when Michael suddenly turned aggressive with him.

It was because… he found Michael familiar. Extremely familiar.

His appearance, his bearing, and even his behavior and personality completely matched the person in her mind.

Despite that, the Goddess was not happy at all, completely different from her facial expression. On the contrary, she was silently puffing with extreme exasperation while her mind was turning into disorder.

She wanted to pull her hair, feeling like she was turning crazy.

Her mind only repeatedly screamed a single word… or a name, and it was the cause of her sanity turning insane.

"Arthur! Arthur! Arthur! Is this your vengeance?! Despite that hundreds or even a thousand years have passed, your soul is still alive and still looking for retaliation?"

The man she sought to forget, and even her memory together with him should have dissipated by time. Yet, as a Goddess, her mind could even completely picture the scene way back when she opened her first eyes, with a blurry vision, of course.

Hence, it wasn't surprising that she recalled one of the most unpleasant memories she desired to erase.

"It can't be you… but why is it you? No, it's not… Maybe… No!"

Looking at Michael, appearing not to recognize her meant one thing… He must not be related to the man she knew!

"No, I must be paranoid," chuckled the Goddess silently, feeling weary. "As a Goddess, I should be ashamed to deny the existence of Reincarnation. It's uncommon but not rare either. Normally, it happens to people who accumulate a lot of good karma and are granted the right to enter the reincarnation cycle.

Given Arthur's personality, it shouldn't be surprising he obtained access to enter it."

Although, from this perspective, she should worry that Arthur might really be reincarnated in the body of Michael, she was aware of the flaw of entering the Reincarnation.

An obliteration of memory.

Therefore, the Arthur she thought inside the body of Michael might not be necessarily the Arthur she knew.

Just that Michael inherited most of the aspects and traits that Arthur had.

"Then, he might have received the title that Arthur once had. Is this fate? Will it be the same again?"

The Goddess mumbled to herself as she was lost in thought.

In a while, she sensed that the noise seemingly grew quiet, even the sobbing girl appeared to stop wailing irritatingly, causing the Goddess to awaken from being absent-minded.

They seemed to wait for something, and it was then it finally dawned on her. It looked like they were waiting for her to bless them with unimaginable power, causing a bright smile to appear on her angelic face.

Instantly, the previous gloomy atmosphere quickly turned bright with her single smile. All of them were captivated, and not a single one of them was exempted.

Even the Rock was allured by her and sworn to make the Goddess his woman. Of course, he had to hold back such a thought lest he offended her and might lose the right to claim his blessings.

If that happened, then his dream would remain as it was, unreachable and unattainable.

Long after, the Goddess opened her mouth and spoke in an angelic voice:

"So… Are you ready to receive my blessing? Do note that all of you will not receive the same blessing.

There might be an unfortunate one to receive a garbage title, and of course, there is this lucky one.

The title you receive is entirely based on your personality, aspects, and traits, so I guess what title you will receive is predestined.

And what you gained from that title is its traits, which… I will explain later on."

Her smile beamed once more, making all their distraction disappear and focus entirely on her.

"So, are all of you ready?"

"Yes!"
