The cube

While Tsukasa had expected this change, his heart was filled with emotion when he saw the change in his cube. He almost shed his tears and had never thought his cube could transform so easily. However, he didn't know what to say, and he just stared at his cube, which slowly transformed.

His reaction might seem exaggerated, but one should think about what kind of hard work and how many nights he had always thought of how to make his cube better.

However, in just a single night, everything changed, and he felt his body would burst out with excitement.

Loki was similar since she didn't expect Tsukasa would have such a thing on his body. 'Is it magic? Or is it an item that is created by someone in heaven?' She wasn't sure, but one thing was for sure, she knew this cube had an immense strength one couldn't imagine.

Loki even doubted and wondered whether Tsukasa was an illegitimate child of a god or a goddess with a human, making him a half-god and half-human. If so, she didn't know who that god or goddess was, but she was grateful she could get him into her Familia.

One boy and one goddess watched the change on his cube in silence.

The black cube with many red marks slowly emitted a golden light and golden marks also slowly appeared on the body of the black cube.

The two watched this process as if they were watching a sacred ritual. They tried to minimize their breaths without saying any words, afraid to interrupt this process.

When everything ended, the cube floated in midair, and it gave off a strange feeling. It was captivating, alluring, menacing, wild, unpredictable, warm, gentle, and soothing. It was a feeling one had never felt before.

Tsukasa and Loki took a deep breath and felt amazed.

"...What is this?" Loki asked while looking at Tsukasa, wondering why this cube felt like those weapons she often saw in heaven. She really wondered whether he was an illegitimate child of a god or a goddess in heaven. However, unfortunately, while she was knowledgeable and had known many gods and goddesses, there were still many others who she didn't know.

Still, when Loki looked at his cube, she knew his mother or father should be someone powerful.

As for feeling weird about the fact that a god or a goddess had made a child with a human, Loki didn't think so since, as a goddess, she knew what kind of creature they were and how truthful they were to their desire.

Tsukasa looked at Loki, who opened her slit eyes, staring at him fervently and obsessively. He had seen this gaze before when they had sex, but this time, it was even stronger, which made him speechless.

However, Tsukasa didn't answer Loki's question. Instead, he erased the aura around the cube and made it seem like a normal cube. However, its beauty couldn't be hidden, and it made people want to take a glance at it.

In this dim room, while sitting on the soft bed, Tsukasa looked at Loki and said, "It's my ability."

"What kind?" Loki asked.

"This can transform into many types of weapons as long as I know the materials, methods to create, and various other important information as long as I have enough magic." Tsukasa knew that a sword, or any other cold weapon, didn't take much of his magic. However, it was different with firearms or an advantage technology type of weapon. He needed a lot of magic to transform his cube into such a shape.

According to the setting, Tsukasa should be able to transform his cube into a weapon with magical properties. If he gave an example, he might be able to create something like a Trident of Poseidon, Pangu Ax, Kusanagi no Tsurugi, or others as long as he knew the detailed information about those legendary weapons.

It was amazing, of course. However, Tsukasa wondered how much magic he needed to make those magic weapons.

Tsukasa didn't hide anything from Loki since he received a blessing from Loki. In other words, he might lose his blessing if he lost Loki or Loki took his blessing. While it might be possible for him to change to different gods or goddesses, he was already comfortable with Loki, and he didn't plan to change, so he didn't mind sharing some of the abilities of his cube. It also wasn't a particularly deep secret or anything.

Of course, Tsukasa only explained his cube could change into any type of weapon as long as he wanted to and with enough magic to support it.

"......" Loki was in silence for a moment and asked, "Anything?"

"Anything as long as I have enough magic for it." Tsukasa looked at Loki before he whispered something.

Loki was dumbfounded and showed a lewd expression. "Let's do it again."

"........."

Tsukasa looked at Loki for a moment and nodded, but then he asked, "By the way, is there a magic weapon in this city?" He wondered whether there was a weapon that was able to shoot fire or use other magics.

"Of course, there's."

"There's?"

Loki nodded and explained the existence of magic items in this world. "You should take a break from the dungeon tomorrow and visit the Hephaestus Familia. There should be a lot of magic weapons there."

"What about magic items?" Tsukasa asked and made up his mind to visit the Hephaestus Familia tomorrow.

"Hmm... I heard there was someone known as Sage 800 years ago. It was said he developed a "Mystery" so he could achieve immortality," Loki said while scratching her head.

"Immortality..." Tsukasa murmured.

"Well, you don't need to overthink about immorality since you'll live long enough as long as your level is high enough. You might even have enough power to match up with a god, too," Loki said lazily.

"............"

While Tsukasa was speechless by the fact told by Loki, he had already made up his mind to visit various places to copy magic items, weapons, and many other things. Still, he wondered whether it was possible to create a potion with his cube too.

"Now, I understand why you want to put "Mystery" as your ability." Loki looked at Tsukasa and asked, "Right now, you just want to strengthen and focus on your cube, right?"

"Well, yeah." Tsukasa looked at Loki and felt this trickster goddess was amazing.

"Then, next time, you should put "Metalworking," "Blacksmith," or even "Mixing, so your cube will become even stronger." Still, Loki's lips twitched and held her head. "You're a fighter, but your ability is like a crafter." It was her first time seeing someone as worrying as him, though. However, she also knew as long as his weapon was strong enough, he should be okay. Still, there was one question that she wanted to ask. "You can create a weapon with your cube. Why should you buy a weapon from the Goibniu Familia?"

"......."

Tsukasa only smiled and pushed her from behind. "Well, let's talk about this later when I become a Level 4. Let's continue what we're doing." Anyway, he could think about the rest later, and it was better to continue what they were doing.

Loki only bit her lower lip before she cried loudly.

Anyway, Tsukasa successfully became a Level 3, and it might not be long before he became unrivaled under the heaven in this world. Still, he didn't know that trouble would come to him tomorrow.
