Erethel Alfheim

"Before I state my last wish, can I ask you something?"

Intrigued, she just stared at him and said "Ara~... something on your mind?... go on since I'm feeling generous right now..."

"Uh-huh..."

"I know that I'm not supposed to be here and I don't know what brought me here either but... is it possible for me to stay here for some time before I move on?" he asked hesitantly.

"Hmmm..." The Goddess pondered for a bit before saying "Yes, there's a way for you to stay here... but not in that form. And for it to be possible, I need to create your corporeal vessel... in other words, your physical body."

"However, even that doesn't mean that you can stay here for a long time. At most, you can only stay here for 3 months." She looked at him for a while and proceeded to ask while her eyes glinting...

"Why would you want to stay here anyway?... Don't tell me... you've fallen in love with me and my beauty?... Fufufu~" She teasingly said to him while pretending to gasp acting like she was shocked in between.

"Well..." Not knowing how to answer her, he just stayed silent and couldn't help but think 'Would you look at that... even a Goddess can be a narcissist.'

Seeing him speechless, she just giggled before saying "Ma~ ma~... I'm just kidding... well?"

"Oh, right... I wish to stay here for three months. Also, I would like to see how the kids are doing in the orphanage until my time's up. That's all."

Once again, she couldn't help but be more dumbfounded. She attempted to open her mouth and seemed to want to say something.

She couldn't help but just heaved a sigh and said: "You... don't you have any selfish desire that you wanted to fulfill?! You could've asked for something for yourself but you spent all of your wishes for others..."

"Geez... can't you be more selfish even just for once?" and ended up sighing again.

Hearing her ranting about him being selfless, he only smiled at her and responded. "I guess... that's just who I am." he paused for a moment and continued while sounding dejected "And also... they're the ones who were there for me when I had no one."

'That's why I'm so impressed by you... I got no words for how genuinely selfless you are...' The Goddess thought to herself.

"...Very well!"

She waved her hand towards him. And for the second time, his soul begun to shine in a blinding white light. Little by little, a figure of a human body began to form. From his head to the torso, and finally, his limbs.

By the time the light died down, a naked figure of a tall about 1.83 meters devilishly handsome young man can be seen with smooth milky-white skin. He has a pair of crystal clear blue eyes, thin sword-shaped white brows, a pointy nose, and sexy thin pink-ish lips.

Snow-white silky smooth long hair that reached his back with bangs framing his flawless chiseled face. A perfectly toned body with lean muscles, firm-wide chest, and abdominal muscles along with thin mermaid waistlines.

He took his first breath, lift his hands up to his face, clasped and open it repeating the same process several times. He looked at the Goddess in front of him, smiled charmingly, and uttered his first words since the formation of his body...

"Thank you..."

But then, he noticed the Goddess's attention was somewhere else. He followed her gaze and looked down and only then he realized that he was naked and his... little... no, 'big' brother was dangling freely in between his legs.

He furiously blushed and hurriedly tried to cover it with his hands while clasping his legs only to hear a melodious chuckle from her.

"Ara ara~... I may have overdone it... Fufufu~"

Crossing her arm under her well-endowed breasts while fingers playfully covered her mouth with her other hand, she giggled.

"Anyway... here's how you look like now." She snapped her fingers and magically, a mirror appeared in front of him.

Seeing his own reflection on the mirror that appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide seeing how handsome and manly his new body is. He looked at her for a second and then back to the mirror.

"What?" she asked.

"N-nothing..."

"Fufufu~... anyway, since you'll be staying here for a while, I believe that introductions are in order, yes?"

He just nodded at her and introduced himself "Ahem... Nice to meet you, I'm Gin Himura, 18 years old... and... I guess you already knew all about me now, right?"

"Mmhmm... right. My turn..."

Chest out and raising her chin, she introduced herself with elegance and pride "I am Erethel Alfheim, as I've said before, I'm the strongest Goddess to ever exist. Governing and overseeing countless universes and realities."

"... and the realm that this place is in is called the Primordial Garden, one of my domains."

"Hmm... Alfheim?... one of the nine realms in the Norse Mythology?"

Hearing his question, she just snickered "Heh! no... I don't know how those insects got to know my name... they probably got it from those annoying lower insects (lower Gods/Goddesses) who used to curry favor from me and decided to copy it and call it their own."

Time quickly passed by and it's been two and a half months since he started living in Erethel's domain. Except for looking at a screen where he could see what's happening in the orphanage and kids, his relationship with Erethel was going well to the point that they could be considered to have a platonic relationship.

It all happened a month ago when she saw him laughing while watching the screen where it showed the kids from the orphanage playing and doing silly things. From that moment on, she started to approach him constantly probably because of her boredom.

She got to know a lot of things from him, and so was he from her. He also introduced her to anime and novels he used to watch and read when passing time back on earth which led her to access anime series on her magical screen and even created the books of the novels he used to read.

They became so close that they both could laugh at simple things, exchanging stories and such. They even got to the point where they tease each other, which coincidentally escalated to them being intimate. For her, it was the best time since the beginning of her existence.

She really enjoyed and loved to spend time with him and sometimes to annoy him. What she truly loved the most was to see his expression being flustered and such when she tried to tease him by sometimes acting coyly,

joining him on the same bed where he's resting, and even shamelessly getting naked and expose her divine body whenever she decides to join him while bathing in the natural hot spring within her domain.

A day before his time is finally coming to an end, after he finished watching how the things are in the orphanage, as usual, he is lying on a soft large expanse of grassland outside the throne hall.

Closing his eyes and thinking of all the things that happened, from the moment of his death up until now.

"Oh, you're here... I thought you were at the hot spring." He suddenly heard Erethel who was steadily approaching him.

He opened his eyes and glanced at her and smiled before saying "Yeah... I was just thinking of some things."

She smiled back, crouched down, and sat next to him. "Well... care to tell me what's on your mind?"

"Nothing... I was just thankful to you for giving me this chance so I can move on without regrets." He said while maintaining his smile giving off a hint of sadness that was barely noticeable.

She just looked at him not failing to notice the faint sadness from within him and said "Although honestly, it wasn't my intention, I just fulfilled my part and granted you those wishes."

She paused for a moment, looked back into his eyes without flinching, and asked "You said that you were happy... But why can I see sadness within you?"

"You're right, I am happy that I could finally let go of my past..." He paused for a moment and proceeded while looking back at her with so much tenderness and... love "But it still saddens me that I have to leave and never see you again."

"And the worst part is... I would have to forget you since the memories I have now will be erased the moment I get into the process the reincarnation."

Hearing those sincere words coming from him, something mysterious inside Erethel begun to bloom which causes her to have a stupefied expression for a moment.

She was unable to comprehend the sudden influx of that mysterious emotion that was threatening to erupt and break free from within her. Still looking directly into his deep blue eyes looking back at her filled with care and love,

she unconsciously clasped both of her hands on her chest while listening to her heart beating fast. A moment of pin-drop silence surrounded the both of them, to the point that they could clearly hear each breath they take.

Noticing the awkward atmosphere between them, Gin decided to break the silence and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Haha... sorry about that, I got a little bit emotional back there. Well, don't mind my ramb-"

He wasn't able to finish his words when he suddenly felt a soft and warm feeling on his lips. His eyes opened wide when he realized it was Erethel who pounced on him and abruptly took his lips.

"Hmph... Mmhn~"

A moment of shock caused him to almost push her back but decided against it when it finally sinks in. He also began to kiss her back matching her aggressiveness.

"Mmhnn~"

Erethel suddenly snapped her fingers and they were suddenly teleported to his bed back in his room. She pushed him on his back and mounted him not breaking the hot kiss they were sharing.

Their ragged breaths resounded as they were entangled while trying to undress each other. And thus, a simple romantic moment that started with a kiss quickly escalated to a hot and passionate moment inside the room filled with the sounds of claps of flesh and loud moans.
