CHAPTER: STARTING THE DAY

8 CHAPTER: STARTING THE DAY 

With the door opening, a blonde with golden curls entered the room, wearing a maid uniform.

"Good morning, Milord and Milady! The bathwater is already prepared, and breakfast is almost ready," she announced, one of the twenty maids in the castle, observing us with her beautiful blue eyes.

"Good morning, Taylor!" we greeted together, as I rose from the bed where the three women were catching their breath.

"I'll go first, I'll meet you on the terrace during the meal," I said, after affectionately kissing each of the goddesses in bed.

"Today will be a promising day," I whispered as I walked naked towards the wardrobe. As I grabbed a robe and put it on, I noticed the servant's hungry gaze on me. Caught in the act, she blushed timidly and looked away.

"Milord, congratulations on your birthday," said Taylor, shifting her focus from spying to avoid my teasing.

"Thank you, Taylor. Please bring me a change of clothes and accompany me to the bathroom. I have many tasks for today," I said, smiling at her as I headed towards the bathroom.

When I reached my destination, I entered a spacious and naturally lit space. This bathroom resembled luxurious Roman baths. Both the dressing room and the bathing area had floors decorated with beautiful mosaics.

There were tanks for hot and cold baths, and even a steam sauna was available to enjoy, all thanks to an underground area with ovens responsible for heating the water.

Dipping into one of the tanks with hot water, I felt all the accumulated mental stress melting away. It was still hard to believe my circumstances. Who would have thought I could regain everything I lost and even live better than my previous life?

As I relaxed, I saw Taylor timidly emerge naked from the dressing room and enter the tank. "Milord, allow me to assist you," I heard her whisper sweetly, approaching me while hiding her assets with her hands.

For an indeterminate time, the two surrendered to passion, with moans, sighs, beats, and gasps being heard even at the end of the hallway. In the end, tired Taylor rested naked on Louis, who caressed her wet hair as they exchanged tender looks with each other.

"Thank you for the bath, my dear," I thanked her, kissing her on the lips and caressing her face after finishing my bath.

"I am the one who should thank you, Mylord. I am happy to serve you," she replied with a devotion that, for a moment, made me question how grateful I should be to the Goddess who shot me in the chest.

"Taylor, do me a favor: gather all the maids on the terrace for breakfast. I have important things to discuss, and they all must hear," I asked her as I rose and left the tank towards the dressing room.

"Consider it done, Mylord, we will be waiting for you," replied Taylor as I dressed in the clothes she brought me.

Leaving the bathroom, I headed towards the castle garden. Upon arrival, I activated the 'Gacha' to redeem the Metas rewards. When I redeemed the meteorite, a letter appeared in my hand, asking where I wanted to place it.

With the location set, a meteorite ten times larger than its cinematic version appeared in front of me. And when I touched its surface, instead of exploding like in the movie, it disintegrated into dust.

But at the same time, my body lit up like a torch, while a wave of heat invaded my being. With bones cracking, muscles contracting, my feet disconnected from the ground as if gravity had disappeared.

The experience was extraordinary, although Jenny's was different. Instead of the meteorite exploding because she couldn't handle its powers, I absorbed all the power of the meteorite. My appearance also hardly changed, but a deeper transformation occurred.

The influence I already exerted over every cell of my body, due to my metamorphic ability, soared to a new level. Now, I can transform in seconds, what used to take hours or weeks, depending on the transformation.

The change was absurd, from a simple influence to cellular control. Now, I have the ability to create avatars and manipulate my own cells and those of others.

I can heal and immortalize whoever I want, and even have children with humans, even if they are of another species. Continuing, with even more anticipation, I redeemed the temporal acceleration. To my surprise, I felt nothing. But strangely intuitively, I discovered how to control this ability, as if it were a muscle.

This ability did not make my body move faster, nor did it improve my physical fitness like Flash or Mercury. Instead, it distorted the fabric of time itself, being able to extend for an hour.

But no matter how much I distort time, my displacement ability is limited by the means of locomotion. If I used my own body, my physical endurance would be the limit.

However, there is a crucial distinction between my ability and that of speedsters: I can bring people and objects into the same accelerated time as me.

In other words, if I use vehicles, it somewhat compensates for the limitations, if it weren't for the flying ability I obtained from the meteorite, which makes the use of any vehicle pointless.

Now, with my flying speed of thirty thousand kilometers per hour and distorting time, in less than a second, I can be anywhere on Earth.

Testing, I made time dilate to the maximum possible. Sound and time seemed to have been paused. There was no recognizable movement in the leaves or winds. Walking, I visited every corner of the castle.

The feeling of seeing people frozen was strange. Finishing my tour, I returned to the garden and deactivated the temporal dilation, I decided to redeem the space ring and the Eyes of God together.

And this time there was pain, I tried to stop the pain by controlling the cells and the brain, but it only eased it, because it was not physical pain but in my soul, fortunately the pain lasted a few seconds.

Activating my eyes, I realized their incredible capabilities: visualizing the future and the past, capturing any light spectrum, discerning the internal structure of objects, deluding and controlling the senses, manipulating emotions, feelings, and memories.

Furthermore, I found that I could perform feats beyond Leo's ability, who could barely explore the basic capabilities of the eyes, such as telekinetic manipulation at the atomic level, I achieved this ability because both the meteorite and the eyes provided me with special abilities, after all where would the indestructibility, flight, and super strength given by the meteorite come from.

Another difference would be that my eyes glow bright violet instead of blue, but this is easily hidden by an illusion, and they do not project or show electrical or magical circuits.

Analyzing the space ring, I realized that besides its unique material, there were runes drawn on it with a strange energy, using my ability to manipulate materials, I made a similar but useless ring, because I couldn't make that strange energy. So for now my attempt to reproduce magical items was a failure.

Continuing with my other purpose, I decided to summon my tabby cat. When I redeemed the draw, the special card appeared in my hands, and I noticed that I could make several definitions. I tried to bypass the Gacha by summoning a saber-toothed tiger, but the card showed the error log, and the request another attempt.

When I tried again, a tiger cub appeared a few meters away from me. She had white fur with black stripes and was injured, dazed, and regaining consciousness. She limped away from me while baring her teeth, trying to intimidate me.

With this summoning, I concluded that the gacha would not allow the existence of a paradox when summoning my mother, and I also learned that summoned living beings would not have loyalty. So, I requested an injured cub to test my healing abilities.

Activating my eyes, I controlled the senses of the feline. Approaching her, I carried her in my arms and, at the same time, began to heal and manipulate her memories to turn her into a trained kitten. I decided to call her Summer.

Once finished, she became docile, as in her memories, she had been raised in the castle since birth, having contact with all the residents. While stroking his chin, I noticed, as I listened to the women's conversation, that they were already gathered on the terrace.
