Divine Heritage: Only I Can Judge The gods-Chapter 33: Invisible Pervert

Ark walked into the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist and was currently vigorously brushing his teeth, a slight scowl on his face.

Once he entered the bathroom, he spat out the remnants of the toothpaste into the sink and rinsed his mouth.

Ark then went right into the shower, allowing the gentle stream of water to wash over his body as he applied the soap.

’What the hell is going on?’

He glanced at himself in the bathroom mirror, watching as the water moved over the dark circles around his eyes.

Throughout the night, Ark could not sleep. Anytime he would shut his eyes, the events of last night would play around in his head and each time tried to make sense of it he would fail miserably.

It was just a lot to unpack. His father was a curse bearer, and there were two of them...

"Argh!—uhum, damn."

Ark cursed as soap found its way into his mouth due to his frustrated scream.

’Berry flavoured soap...’

After finally recovering from the surprisingly tasty intruder, Ark’s mind once again went to the events.

After the major attacked them and he was saved by his original father, if that was what he even was... He went back home with Kiera’s help only to find the house completely empty.

His father was gone.

Ark let out a breath, ever since he got to the wielder’s center a whole lot of strange things had been happening.

One of them even being his defective Archive.

"Console."

A golden screen appeared before his face.

Ark glanced through his stats once more. Now that the trials were over they were moving on to the next stage.

The Selection exams...

Those who pass would be picked up by a squad where they would receive training and begin their lives as curse bearers.

Those who fail would become like rejects and would be sent to a desk job or given another unimportant post, either way, they had to serve the country somehow.

After experiencing the strength of the major Ark was certain about one thing...

"I need to get stronger."

There was no telling when the deranged man would come visiting again, and when that time came, he would have to be prepared.

Thankfully, his new goal to get stronger as well as his goal to become an accomplished curse bearer worked perfectly with each other.

He needed to train to pass the selection exams after all.

Glancing at his body once more in the mirror, he unintentionally sighed.

His muscles were weakly developed, his figure was lanky and slender. He also had basically no training whatsoever.

"I have a long way to go."

"You sure do." A feminine voice came from somewhere in the room.

Ark froze, his hands reflexively trailing down to protect his assets.

’What the hell?’ He mentally calmed himself. ’You’re hearing things Ark, you’re just stressed because of yesterday...’

He let out a sigh. "That’s right, I’m just hearing things..."

"Nope, I’m actually here. Has anyone told you that you spend too long in the shower?"

Ark bolted out of the bathroom, grabbing the towel as quickly as he could and wrapping it around himself.

He stretched his hands in front of him defensively, trying to locate the source of the voice but no matter where he looked, he saw nothing.

"Hahaha." The girl giggled lightly. Her voice was calm and somehow felt soothing to hear, or at least it would have been if Ark wasn’t half naked in his room.

Ark walked over to his closet and slowly pried it open.

"Who are you?"

There was no response for some time.

"That’s hard to explain."

Ark then proceeded to look under his bed.

"You won’t find me there..."

He was beginning more impatient by the second.

"Where are you then?"

There was a short moment of silence once more.

"That... is hard to explain." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Like hell it’s hard to explain! You’re probably using your curse to peep at boys bathing aren’t you?!"

"What?! Of course not!" Her voice was noticeably higher pitched, hinting at her embarrassment. "I’m not some bathroom pervert!"

"Prove it then! Reveal yourself, you perv!"

The chair by the side of the room rumbled and a girl materialized atop it, Ark was already turning to face her but it was already too late.

The furious girl lunged at him, grabbing onto his head and pulling on his ears.

"How dare you call an emissary of the Celeste a pervert, you disrespectful kid!"

"I’ll have you know that I have lived a hundred of your lifetimes!" She said as she continued pulling.

Ark on the other hand was beet red, holding tightly onto his towel while trying to fend the woman off.

And it was slipping!

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Get off me you’re going to rip my towel off!" He practically screamed.

At the mention of this, the girl’s face flushed red and she vanished into thin air once more, leaving only Ark in the room.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his towel just before grabbing a few clothes and bolting into the bathroom to get dressed.

When he was finally fully clothed, he returned and looked around the room.

"Are you still here?"

"..."

Ark’s shoulders slumped as he walked over to his bed and sat down, covering his face in his hands.

"Why do weird stuff keep happening to me?"

Ark felt the area next to him depress slightly.

"I thought you weren’t here..."

"I’m technically not. This is just a manifestation of myself..."

Ark lifted his head and looked at the girl who was now sitting next to him, it was then his eyes widened in surprise.

Long dark purple hair and silver eyes so clear that they reflected the world around her.

"Silver?"

There was no mistaking it, it was one of the girls from that day. One of the girls that had mysteriously appeared in his room.

"Sorry for appearing when you were bathing..." she then pointed at the golden screen, which Ark had not realized was still open.

’She can see the console?’

"It’s because you opened this that I got alerted."

Ark was now completely certain that she was silver and yet something did not make sense. Why had they appeared in his room that day, and why could she see the console?

He parted his lips and asked:

"Who are you...?"

The girl crossed her hands around her chest and said angrily:

"I said it’s difficult to explain!" Then she brought her finger to her chin, appearing rather thoughtful.

"Well... I guess you can call me the console, the god-Console that is."
