chapter- 17

Finally, at long last, after hours of thinking and trying, I had managed to get into a relationship with the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

It was definitely one of the hardest ‘struggles’ I had in my entire life, even beating Asgorath took less time than this.

“Although I don’t know much about relationships, considering that this is my first one, but shouldn’t we celebrate or something?” Vaeloria asked with a cute expression.

“Huh… yes, you are right, I was a bit spaced out, sorry about that.” I chuckled, then I snapped my fingers, and with the snap, the entire environment changed suddenly.

There were fireworks in the sky, Aesthetic lights all around floating, various dishes appeared on the table. It was perfect, an ideal date.

And my wish ability, it was one hell of a crutch, with just that, I never had to worry about anything, if you need something, just make a wish.

All it takes is a bit of energy, even before, that little amount of energy needed was nothing to me, and now that my reserves and energy produced per day had both multiplied twenty times over, I needed to think even less while using it.

So, yes, all in all, a perfect date.

“So, when do we leave for your home, earth, was it?” Vaeloria asked with a curious look on her face, she was quite the explorer type it seems, staying here on Alfheim was extremely boring for her.

“Whenever you wish to, though I would prefer if we left sooner, because I really have some important work, like meetings and all.

Don’t worry, on earth, you won’t need to follow the ridiculous rules you need to follow on Alfheim, we have much more freedom there.” I chuckled.

“Well, then let’s leave tomorrow, I can’t wait.

And, how exactly do you humans even manage to live with such a system like that, isn’t it chaotic?” Vaeloria asked, the contrast between human and elf society was simply too much.

“Because we have brains, unlike you lot. The guardians themselves made the rule, but they took on stupid burdens, like living exemplary lives to lead the people, you are supposed to act as role models.

But with us humans, we knew that as gods, restricting ourselves would be stupid, we are not supposed to live as exemplary beings guiding humans, we are above all others.

Heck, even our law explicitly states, no one is above the law, except Gods. And the higher your rank, the more freedom you have.” I explained with a smug smile.

“That seems like a reckless system, what if someone from the F-rank community has a child, and it’s a god, won’t that god oppose the entire system? Since their family was one of the oppressed just now…” Vaeloria asked puzzled

“They won’t. Because, as soon as a god is born, their status elevates, along with the parents, the status elevates so much, that the people they were bickering against before, other F-rankers, even associating with them is insulting for them.

Actually, people like these are the ones who oppress the weaker ones the most, because they suddenly grew in rank, the sudden shift blinds them, the oppressed one finally gets the chance to oppress others, of course they grab that.” I chuckled, humans were strange beings for sure.

The humans society was a paradise for the strong, and an ordinary society for the weak, for an F-ranked person, life was comfortable, since we had many slaves from other species we ruled over, but they would never actually rise in society.

Their final destination was set the moment they awakened their power, and were branded an F-rank.

Of course, we don’t go oppressing them for fun, except for some weirdos but still, some of them felt oppressed, sadly, victim card doesn’t work in our society, if you are weak, you are irrelevant, the focus of the government is not to protect you, but the empire.

The empire exists not because of F-ranked people but the ones above them, because F-rankers are too weak to serve in the army, the only thing they are good at is some menial jobs.

“Hmm, a strange thing indeed… because with us elves, no one is born strong, at birth, we are all weak, we slowly grow stronger.

Even myself, with all my potential, at birth, was born just like other elves, it was only through hard work and talent that I reached this level. But you, you just awakened your power, and suddenly became the strongest god of humans.

Maybe it is because of this that you humans have a strange sense of power… but yes, there is also the fact that your F-rank people truly are weak.

We elves have learned it as part of our education, humans have amongst the highest population in the universe, but most of their population is worthless, and the number of elites is not so overwhelming despite their population.” Vaeloria nodded and agreed.

“Hmm, good thing I am not an elf… I don’t think I could ever train hard enough to reach my current strength level, and that’s without questioning whether the Elf magic training can ever truly reach my current strength level.” I shrugged.

“I should probably add being Lazy to your list of cons.” Vaeloria muttered.

“Nah, you should not make a list, that’s a bad idea. Anyways, since the scene here is so beautiful, why not have a dance.

May I have your hand, my lady.” I changed the subject, with another snap of my fingers, a soft music filled the area, and I politely extended my hand to ask for hers.

Now, you might not believe it, but I learnt to dance not from making a wish, instead, as a noble, I was made to have dancing classes.

And unlike uncultured swines who whine about this shit, I enjoyed it, particularly because every time you do this would be with a beautiful lady, and it was not as if I preferred fighting or something.

“Sure.” She smiled brightly and took my hand, with a wave of my hand, the tables and everything vanished, we were under the clear sky, glistening with stars and firecrackers.

The soft music gave a sense of peace, as we held each other, and danced slowly. She was an excellent dancer, much more skilled than I am, I was mesmerized, and couldn’t take off my eyes off her as she enjoyed herself in the dance.

‘Alright Daniel, brave up, you are bravest one, don’t hesitate.’ I encouraged myself, to do what I was planning to do next.

I pulled her close, as she fell upon my body like a hug, our faces inches apart, my eyes met with hers.

Then, my eyes moved towards her lips, then back to her eyes, as if asking for permission.

The look in her eyes was enough to tell me that she wasn’t against it at the very least, so I leaned in, moved my lips closer to hers, and finally kissed them shut.

Suddenly, the firecrackers in the sky turned even more ablaze, mistletoes started blooming everywhere, flowers suddenly bloomed and wafted their scent in the air.

It was perfect. Down to the last detail.

As our lips parted, I muttered, “I think I might be in love…”

“Maybe… what you did today was certainly lovely, but it will take a little more for me to declare my love to you.” Vaeloria chuckled

“Nah, you are already in the grasp of the big bad God, the dragon slayer isn’t gonna let you slip away, not now, not ever.

You are mine.” I declared, it was a bit cringey, but it seemed to work, with the deep blush which filled her face.
