4. Ma....

My body crashes to the floor. There was no pain, but still, because of my non-existent super intellect, I still felt dizzy. Okay, that wasn't it, but it's always good to emphasize these things.

I felt like I was on Earth, in some forested area, but there were differences that, even though they were stark, still felt right. I do not know how to explain. It felt like the world was painted in oil.

It was beautiful, fascinating, and the movements of the leaves on the trees seemed surreal, but at the same time magical and correct.

Then, as my eyes bathe in that wonder, they find a person sitting on the grass, with their back against a tree, while playing with something.

The person sitting seems to feel me looking at them, and turns their face towards me. When I thought about taking a step, I saw her standing, looking at me, checking something. She was practically glued to me now, with a movement I never saw coming.

"Your self is wrong, but mending." her voice was ethereal, her face was the most beautiful I've ever seen, in both realities, so much so that I can barely describe.

'I just hope I don't turn into a certain idiot in love out of nowhere and try to present such a being that I can't even be close.' I thought to myself.

"Yes, a lot has happened…" she stops me when her eyes meet mine. I seemed to get lost in his colorful eyeballs.

"See, I allow it. Now go back." she says directly, and in a flash, I'm back in the ritual room, with the Ancient One looking at me between curiosity and concern.

Then, what looked like a thick shell, detaches itself from my body, and falls to the ground. I was naked, in front of the most powerful person on Earth, but my body was healthy again, without any bruises or injuries.

My minced meat appearance was replaced by that of a handsome young man, a well-groomed and well-crafted body that would be the envy of many other people.

"Congratulations, you made it." she finally said, but a look of astonishment followed, as I waved my hand in front of my body, and a nice full set of suits appeared wearing me.

"Thank you Master, she took me back." I say with a smile.

"I understand." she had a satisfied smile, but her eyes still held a certain resentment.

"I think I know how I can help you Master, but it will be dangerous and uncertain. I must say, extremely dangerous." she added, and I saw her attention focused on me.

"As?".

"Well, on my way, I saw the place that can subdue the owner of the mark you carry, as well as free you from those who imprison you, as for how dangerous this can be, I can't size up." I explain.

"And how do you know this place can help me?" she looks curious.

"Because she looked at me, and I saw it. It's like she told me to." I answer directly.

"We will have time, but first I want my successor to appear and start having his training, I cannot risk and end up compromising this reality, much less now." she touches her forehead.

"I understand." I give her my smile. "I will prepare for that day, train hard to reach your strength and, who knows, help more directly."

"It would be nice. I don't just say it for myself." she nods, like a slight bow. "Now we can't have any more time, I have some beings to expel and you, a kingdom to take care of." she extends her arm, directly creating a portal. "See you soon, Victor." with a smile, she walks through and the portal closes.

My complexion changes from my smile to despair.

"How the hell can I run a country? I barely know how to take care of my water and electricity bills." I mutter to myself and leave, going to take a shower.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

After a nice relaxing shower, one I really needed, I put on some nice light and loose clothing, and start looking at the iconic armor made by Doom. So, without thinking too much about it, not least because it wasn't my competence, I add just one more enchantment to it.

I see her disappear, at the same time I feel her in me, but no.

It's like she was always with me, floating behind my back in a parallel plane, where at my movement or thought, she would quickly and effectively cover me.

My perception was far above average, or rather extremely strengthened. It was like spider-sense, but turned on 24/7, which gave me some insight into things around me.

For example, in the castle's pantry, the kitchen help is having sex with one of the security guards, which, by the way, shows me that now, a part of the castle, more precisely the kitchen exit door, is unprotected.

If it was the old Doom, those two would be dead, but in my case, I understand that sometimes, the urge comes, and since they're both young and full of desires, I'm not going to make a fuss about it.

"Bot, one of our guards is stuck on something. Don't bother him, just ask someone to cover for him for a while. If he hasn't returned to his post in an hour, deduct it from your paycheck.

By the way, after completing this task, I will be giving you a new configuration. Advance Project. I want improvements in health, education, infrastructure and security.

I want my people to be happy, which will greatly reduce the outbreaks of revolts. I know we did a lot of things wrong, but it's time to turn the page and follow a new path.

Start immediately." I finish my order to the Bot, who leaves.
