ENDLESS MYTH : Surpassing The Gods.

Somewhere on the sea in the ship

"what I want is you"

Sol was now alone in his cabin, he couldn't help but remember what she said. At that moment he asked what she meant by that, but she just laughed out loud and went back with sir Edward.

(Did she fall in love with me?) He touched his face. While he knew how physically attractive he was, he wasn't narcissistic enough to think he could make any woman fall for him, even more so when the said woman was transcendent. Transcendent level beings were all naturally handsome or beautiful. So, people at that level didn't care about appearance that much. There no way she was in love with him.

(Is it my background?) Laughable, without a doubt his family held high level of influence and despite his precarious position he still had some power in the family but, the nine academies weren't soft persimmon, at the very least the principal of such academy didn't need to lower herself to give advice to a simple candidate just because of his background.

Sol didn't even dare to think that it was talent. Bellow Transcendent, everyone was an ant. At the mortal realm, the difference in power isn't too obvious. With enough luck, skill, and equipment, a trainee could beat a legend. But only a large team of extremely powerful legends could hope to stall a Transcendent of the first rank. That right, not killing, not beating, just stalling. That how large the difference in power was. To reach such a level, talent alone was far from enough.

"Sigh, I shouldn't keep thinking about it. The answer will come sooner or later"

He decided that going to sleep would be better. Suddenly, his ring began to glow a little. Sol hesitated a little, but since the glow didn't fade, he just touched it a little. A screen showing the face of his sister sighing in relief was projected in front of him.

"Finally I can contact you. I tried to call you on your phone, but the call wouldn't go through"

"Why worry so much? Your ring should have shown you that I am in perfect health and in the case that my life was in danger I would have been teleported to your position"

He really didn't like seeing the worried face of his sister, that just showed how unreliable he was in her head.

The Ring was divided into three types. Gold, silver, and bronze. Only members of the nobles' families or those who reached the myth rank could wear it the golden one. They all had the same basic function such as an interface connected to the mind that allowed him or her to see his or her amount of aether expressed in percentage, as well his or her skill and ranks.

The gold one had better perks, like being able to monitor the health of those connected to those who gave you their permission. The best feature and the one that truly set apart the golden ring from the two other ones was without a doubt the safety measures that activated once the life of the wearer was threatened. It formed a powerful shield around the wearer first and then send him to the location of another ring preset in advance. For Sol, it was the ring of his sister.

She pouted a little as she said,

"You shouldn't rely too much on the ring. Safety devices, despite their name, can never assure 100% safety. There many ways to disable it. At least with my poison, I can kill pretty much any target, golden ring or not" she waged her finger at him "How many times did I tell you that?"

"Yes yes dearest sister, you're always right"

he suppressed a shiver, his sister was extremely cute and acted as a caring mother with him, but he would never forget how the [DEVIL SNAKE] gained her reputation by doing the impossible and poisoning three myth rank being to death while being a legend.

He wisely decided to just accept her reprimand and change subject, otherwise, once she entered her nagging mode, that would last all day. Still, he felt warm as he thought about it. Her nagging may be a bother, but you didn't take your time to nagge someone you didn't care for. The opposite of love wasn't hate, it was indifference.

"So? How many times did I tell you to wear proper clothing when you're calling me? "

On the screen, he saw his sister wearing clothes obviously meant for sleep. Her nightwear was a see-through black babydoll dress that nicely contrasted with her white skin. He of course purely admired her beauty. He wasn't some inexperienced v.i.r.g.i.n who would blush just by seeing some u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, even more so when the one wearing it was his sister. Well, he was still a v.i.r.g.i.n, but that was beside the point.

A more serious expression was now on her face as she asked instead of answering

"How did your exam go? ".

He was a little surprised, surprised at her expression but even more surprised at how she utterly ignored his question. Still, he decided to simply answer her, it wasn't like it was the first time he asked her to pay more attention to her appearance. The only saving grace was that she was only this defenseless when alone with him.

" Easily, the first test was directly passed once they knew I was a noble"

he stopped a little, wondering if he could continue, but since the staff said nothing about keeping things secret he added, "The second test will take place in a deserted island, it will be a survival-type"

Helen was silent as she thought about it. Her guts told her that something was weird, she didn't know what, but she knew that she could trust her instinct. As she looked at her brother's face, she wondered she should tell him about her meeting with their father. She then remembered that they're promised to never hide anything from each other as much as possible.

"I was with father this morning when I called you, he is obviously plotting something once again, he promised me that everything will be alright, but I think you should give up on the test"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she cringed a little as she knew that she f.u.c.k.e.d up. Telling something like that to a teen was basically asking them to do the very opposite, spoke without thinking, her concerns clouding her mind.

As she thought, once Sol heard her say that he answered with, " Don't worry sis, everything will be alright".

She cringed once more, the flags raised were so obvious that she would have to be blind to not see them. She, of course, didn't continue with this line of discussion. If she really asked him to give up, she knew he would, but she didn't want to use his affection and dependency on her like that. 'I guess I must make the appropriate preparations'

So like he did earlier, she changed subjects. For hours they discussed nothing and everything. She was never bored when she talked to him. She was really thankful that despite what happened, he didn't go full emo on her, otherwise, she would have had to bitch slap him in order to make him come back to his senses.

"Sis, I must go sleep now, call you later".

She looked at the time and saw how late it was. The times went by so fast when she talked with him.

"Goodnight brother", "Night sis"

She watched him as he cut the connection with a yawn. Once the call was cut, her room fell back in perfect darkness. Since the day she fused with her constellations, and by doing so entered the myth rank, she began to like cool and dark places more. Her personality became even more frigid and distant.

The higher the synchronization rate, the more heavily the constellationist personality was affected, this became even clearer after reaching the fusing level in terms of abilities. Only when she was talking with her brother would she be able to express her emotions.

He was everything for her. Since the day of his birth, when she swore to their dying mother that she would take care of him, he became the only source of warmth in this cold world. Even when everyone else feared her because of her power, he never stopped caring for her. She already failed once in her duty, she would not fail a second time.

(Father, make no mistakes, if anything happens to him because of your machinations, I will not fail in killing you like ten years ago) her red eyes, full of madness, glowed in the darkroom.
