Chapter 09

Finished admiring the beauty of this place, Shin walked into the cave while inspecting it from left to right to be sure that there is no problem or danger.

Shin arrived towards the small pond fed by the waterfall and then crouched down in front of it.

Crouching in front of the pond, Shin leaned forward and saw his silhouette through his reflection.

"Always the same face" He was not surprised, he had seen it before at the lake.

But he was always reassured to see that he still looked the same, if his appearance had changed it would have been hard to get used to it.

He would no longer feel like himself. That was the thing he often didn't understand in the novels, why people always wanted to change their appearance, but Shin knew that he had been spoiled by nature in his previous world so that's why he didn't understand, he already had a heavenly beauty long before he died.

He then took some water in his joined hands and sprayed it on his face to refresh his head before going to rest.

"It's really good, not too cold and not too hot."

He also took the water in his hands to drink.

"It's the best water I've ever drunk!" He widened his eyes when he tasted this water, it was super good!

Even while drinking a lot of water, Shin didn't feel heavy or bloated like with normal water. In addition, the water gave a sweet aftertaste that his palate did not fail to appreciate, the water gently glided through his body giving him a relaxing and pleasant flow.

Shin hydrated himself until he couldn't anymore but when he finished, he noticed a mark on his forehead.

This mark was only visible because his hair was wet or it was hidden behind his hair.

He pulled his hair apart to get a better look at the mark on his forehead.

By spreading his hair apart he was able to see the mark in more detail.

It was a green Phoenix with the wings pointing upwards.

"System, what's that symbol on my forehead?" Shin asked because he really had no idea.

This symbol on your forehead represents your divinity and your identity as the God of Life, for now it can be considered a simple tattoo with some functionality. When you have formed your divinity, it will welcome it and can materialize into a jewel of the same shape and color].

"I see" Shin didn't complain because the symbol wasn't ugly and he thought it suited him rather well, it added a mysterious, celestial side to him.

"And what are those extra features that you mentioned?" He was curious about them, maybe it would be useful.

[Actually, it's more of a feature, your brand will alert you when someone with your lineage or your blessing is in danger].

"It's really helpful."

He was telling the truth because thanks to this function, he will be able to be warned if his future children or his family is in danger.

"If I have a wife, will I also be warned" He wondered because the system said for those who have his blessing and his golden lineage to have his lineage, you have to be his child.

[Yes you will be after you make love].

"Ok" Shin didn't say any more because even though he was handsome and over 18, he was still a virgin.

In less, he will save himself for his wife and that's beautiful.

"On the other hand, what do you mean by blessing? Isn't it reserved for God?" In spite of his race, he had understood that he was not yet a God, either because he was not a deity or because he did not have the power to be one.

When I say blessing, you will bless someone with increased vitality, an affinity with nature and animals gaining an aura similar to yours but much less powerful and a few other little things that are not noticeable. As for the fact that it's reserved for God, well you can still do it because the blessing doesn't need divinity, it just gives a small amount of Life energy to the blessed person].

"Okay, I note" If he ever found someone who deserved it then why not?

Finished with his questions, Shin got up from his crouching position in front of the lake and walked towards the only tree in the cave.

"I'll do my training tomorrow, so for now, I need to rest."

He really needed to rest, his brain and mind was overeating and he felt like he was going to implode if he didn't rest.

Mental rest only because he was physically well, an insolent health for someone who had just been reborn.

"How am I going to sleep?"

He didn't have a bed or sleeping bag to sleep in, there was only grass.

The place under the tree was the best because it gave him shade because despite the fact that he was in a cave, with the crystals illuminating the cave you could think you were outside.

Thinking about wanting a bed, a surprising thing happened.

The grass positioned in the shade under the tree started to grow more and more and finally reached a length of several meters.

Becoming long grass, it began to join, twist, gather and bind together to form a bed made of grass.

Shin was surprised to see this, he had just thought about wanting a bed and nature gave him one.

All that remained was to see if it was comfortable. Since it's made of grass, he thought it would be and then he can't complain it's better than nothing after all.

Shin approached the bed made of grass and gently lowered himself to sit on it.

Eventually he sat on it and then lay down to be relieved to see that it was incredibly comfortable.

The grass was soft and fluffy, unlike being irritating it was soft and pleasant to the touch.

He had even been entitled to a pillow with all the qualities already mentioned.

"What a paradise"

Shin murmured while he was in paradise and after a few seconds of pure happiness, he was taken to the land of dreams.

A really very efficient bed!

When Shin fell asleep, the grass all around him seemed to dance with happiness and satisfaction at having given Shin what he wanted and having been complimented by him.

The tree above Shin was the same, his leaves were swaying with joy from left to right and it was not due to the wind as he was in a cave and there was no wind.

The leaves of the tree swayed and then fell from the branches and landed each one on Shin until they formed a sheet over Shin as if the tree wanted to prevent him from catching cold.

Even if now it is impossible for Shin to get sick, it shows the affection of nature towards him.

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

"Hmmm" Shin mumbled as he gently opened his eyes.

Rubbing his eyes to wake up, Shin stood up to finally open his eyes completely.

But what he saw was not really what he expected to see.

He was in a place that was not the cave he had fallen asleep in.

He was standing in front of a lake, a huge lake filled with pure, crystalline water that seemed to radiate divine energy and a heavenly presence.

Very strange for a lake...

When Shin was still looking at the lake, he saw a small island in the middle of the lake. Finally small compared to the lake but in reality very big.

And by looking more closely at this island, one could see a clearly not human silhouette standing in the middle accompanied at its top by a kind of stick that went from all sides.

It was a tree.

Shin wanted to get closer to see more details of the tree in the middle of this island but after a few seconds of walking, he realized that the island was in the middle of a lake so how he went to join it.

Only, by looking down, Shin could see that he was right now on the lake in question.

He was walking on it like Jesus.

Seeing that, Shin was not really surprised, he had seen more surprising.

So he continued walking in the direction of the island and after 2 minutes of walking, he put his foot on the land of the island.

And he could see the tree that was there.

"Strange, it looks familiar"

It was strange that a tree looked familiar to him, he had seen so many in his two lives together and then trees of the same species usually all looked alike.

He didn't linger on every tree he saw either.

Yet as he racked his brains to understand this sense of familiarity, he opened his eyes after he realized.

"You are the tree that I concentrated my Life Energy into to heal the damage I had caused. Even though you look much fitter and more beautiful than before".

This tree was the one in which he had concentrated his Life Energy to heal the damage caused by his inability to master his strength and powers.

Except that the tree in front of him was much more beautiful than before, it was a beautiful emerald green, its trunk and roots seemed to have an inviolable resistance and defense, it radiated an incredible abundant Life Energy.

He was transformed.

"But why are you here? And where am I?"
