The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 159: Strange Titles

"That was perfect," I say excitedly as I throw myself onto the bed. My meeting with Zephyra went better than expected.

Her feelings were slowly changing in a visible way to me, her colors becoming so beautiful that I could barely contain my excitement.

After that last kiss, we returned to the castle in silence, a comfortable and soothing silence, and at the moment Zephyra was taken to one of the rooms to rest, as the meeting had taken a long time.

"My mother also approved... although... I have to see this about my mother wanting to beat Delphina." Delphina is also mine, so it’s complicated. I don’t want to prevent my mother, but I also don’t want her to hurt what is mine.

’I can deal with that later...’ I change clothes and go to the meeting room where my allies are already waiting.

I walk to my spot and sit down elegantly as I begin the conversation.

"So, how are the preparations for the war going?" I ask with some impatience. I wasn’t in the mood to waste time with this, but these damn animals don’t realize my benevolence in not seeking fights with them.

And now I’m going to crush them like insects so they understand the magnitude of their insignificance.

"It’s almost all ready, Your Majesty. We just need to adjust the teleportation circles and further develop the anti-magic crystal destruction barriers."

’There’s that point, too...’ The crystal will be created at the moment, but the barriers are developed before the crystal’s creation.

"Let’s put the crystal in the area where we’re going to set up our tent," I tell them, choosing the area where the center of the barrier will be formed.

"Elena, do we have any other reports on where these animals are?" I ask, looking directly at Elena.

"Yes, our scouts have reported that the enemies are currently halfway between the ravine and the exit."

"They should take about 15 hours to get out of the ravine, so we’ll have time to perfectly organize the troops as you had specified."

’Great...’ I’m still thinking whether I should fight the army directly or focus on their leader.

"Also, I want Lilith to stay at the castle and take care of everything, after all I can’t leave the castle without strong enough people to take care of it, so Freya and Lilith Nix Kaos will stay at the castle."

"Calypso, Thalor and Elena will come with me to the war." Kaelith is replacing me at the mansion, so she can’t help.

’I need someone to ensure Zephyra’s safety...’

"Hey, little girl, come out." No one understands who I’m talking to until that little girl comes out of my shadow.

"Your Majesty, who is she?" Calypso asks with interest as Lilith comes to me and hugs the little girl tightly, suffocating her in her bust.

"This is my shadow. I’m going to leave her with Zephyra, I wanted to show you so that no one would attack her thinking she’s an intruder."

"What’s the name of this cutie, Your Majesty?" Nix asks energetically while poking the cheek of my shadow, who doesn’t show much reaction.

’Name...’ I haven’t thought of a good name for her yet, but I quickly remember something cool.

"Her name is Achlys." I chose a name with special symbolism since she is my shadow.

Achlys is an actual mythological figure from Greek mythology. She is a deity associated with the mist of death, sorrow, and eternal misery. Her name literally means "mist" or "darkness" in ancient Greek (Ἀχλύς, Akhlys), and she is described as a personification of extreme suffering.

According to some sources, Achlys was the personification of the mist that covers the eyes of people when they are on the brink of death. Hesiod, in some versions of his texts, describes Achlys as a primordial spirit that existed even before Chaos.

Achlys can be seen as a manifestation of a slow and painful death, different from Thanatos, who represented a peaceful death.

And that’s precisely why I chose this name.

"Listen, Achlys," I call the attention of my shadow, who looks at me, her tail also looking at the point where I really don’t know which one is the main body.

"You will take care of my queen. You must kill in the slowest and most painful way possible, causing extreme suffering to anyone who tries to attack, kidnap, harm, or flee with my queen."

Achlys nods.

No one in the room finds it surprising that I give this type of order so casually, but Elena shivers slightly. She probably remembers well the treatment I gave to her lustful body.

"Now go after my queen and hide in her shadow." Zephyra’s shadow is full of sharks and wolves that I left there, but they are too weak to be an effective protection guarantee.

But Achlys is not, because Achlys is strong and even knows how to use magic, so she should be able to protect Zephyra, and if a strong opponent appears, she can at least protect Zephyra while waiting for help.

’...Oscillated... tsk... are you really the traitor?’ The color of who I think is the traitor just oscillated when they heard the order I gave to Achlys.

Everyone in the room noticed how strong my shadow is. Elena, for example, would lose in a direct combat without having many chances to do anything.

"You can start preparing what’s missing..." I say, releasing them to leave.

"You, you stay here," I say with an authoritative voice to Lilith, who was about to leave with the others. Lilith soon sits back down in the chair while placing her hands on the table.

"Is there a problem, Your Majesty?" She asks while Kaos seems slightly uncomfortable with the seriousness on my face.

"We have a traitor, and I think it’s obvious who it is... I’d like you to investigate this for me, because I’m being betrayed. Do this secretly and give me the best results."

"I want you to start looking from here," I show a crystallized form of the place where she should look, making it obvious who the person I suspect is without actually saying the words.

"Understood, Your Majesty. I will find all the possible information after this war," I go behind her and grab her breasts.

"I love smart girls," I release while Kaos lets out a moan as she felt the squeeze on Lilith’s chest.

I once thought about letting Lilith be a partner for me, but I ended up abandoning the idea.

Lilith Nix Kaos cannot be affiliated with anything or anyone, although they can have sex and even have children, they cannot get married, they cannot join other cults, they cannot join as members of affiliations like brothels, etc.

In other words, they cannot truly connect with anything, because if they did, they would lose their title of Saint and with it, they would lose the powers provided by that title.

"Ah yes, now that I’ve thought about it... Lilith... I have some suspicious titles... and some rather hateful titles," I say, remembering the titles I saw in my Status.

This Status seems to be joking with me because it gave me titles like:

Pervert - Title granted to a perverted person who lets their lust dictate their path momentarily.

Loving Rapist - Have forceful sexual relations with the person you love in a way that marks them for the rest of their life.

Perverse Pervert - Letting your Lust dictate your thoughts, deal with it in a unique way (Chosen Method = Rape a magic girl, chosen of the Stars).

Intolerant Lover - Forcefully dictating your relationships, your extremist view puts those you love on a thin and dangerous line.

Complete Yandere - A complete Yandere who doesn’t accept no for an answer and goes after their beloved in a crazy, manipulative, and obsessive way.

Pseudo-Vampiric - Following vampire traditions, you are a being similar to the creatures of the night, your thirst for blood combined with your lust have made you choose the vampire culture to deepen your love with your partner in a sea of blood.

Sin of Gluttony - Committed the sin of gluttony to extreme levels (Not directly linked to your race).

Gluttony - Reached a new level by committing the cardinal sin of gluttony (Not directly linked to your race).

Representative of Gluttony - You have been recognized as the representative of Gluttony (Not directly linked to your race).

True Monster - You have reached a new level by becoming one with your own essence.

Child - You have reached the age of a child.

Unbalanced - You are completely unbalanced, becoming cold, cruel, and manipulative in an instant.

Lolicon - You had sex with a Loli while marking her as your partner both sexually and romantically as you sank into lust (Partner = Delphina Oceane).

Sweetie - You physically smell like chocolate and strawberry, being someone with an attractive sweet scent.

Selective Masochist - You like and want to be dominated by Mikael Calamitas.

Sadomasochist - As much as you like to cause pain, you wouldn’t mind feeling pain if the pain was offered by your loved ones, becoming sexually excited by the physical pain caused by them.

Crazy for Children - Your desire for a family has made you prone to think drastically about having children with those you love.

Complex Lover - You seriously think about the subject of children and decide with focus to impregnate Zephyra Silverleaf even if it’s by force.

Okay, some of these titles make sense, but others have nothing to do with me. First, I’m not [Crazy for Children], I really want to have children, but in a controlled way, not like a rabbit in heat.

And I’m not a [Lolicon] after all, I like women with big breasts and a medium to tall stature with long hair and a very voluptuous body, although I admit that Delphina is fucking hot.

However, my normal taste is totally different from a Loli, what the hell is this [Sadomasochist] thing? I’m not like that, this system is joking with me.

I only tell Lilith the titles I’m interested in, after all I can’t tell anyone about some of these embarrassing titles, and there are a lot more that aren’t so relevant.

What really catches my interest is the sin title, first it doesn’t consider that I committed a racial sin, that is, I am still pure of heart, so I ask Lilith about this title.

"Pandora, you are a representative of Gluttony? What a surprise," Lilith and Nix say at the same time while Kaos makes a genuinely surprised face.

"What is this?" I ask with doubt, this title doesn’t seem special at all apart from being suspicious.

"Let me explain to you. First, there is a sequence of three titles that can grant you the position as a representative of a sin."

"First is a title that says you committed the sin, the second a title that just says the name of the sin, and finally the title that says you now represent that sin."

"The sin titles end up giving a buff to something you have linked to the sin."

"There can only be one at a time, so while you are alive, another Gluttony representative cannot emerge. Currently, we have some, for example, Kaelith is the representative of Lust, the Hero Mikael Calamitas is the representative of Pride, and your older sister is the representative of Wrath."

"And finally, the alchemist who produces the things you ask for is the representative of Greed. The representatives of Envy and Sloth have not yet emerged since the death of the previous ones."

"Each representative has a different buff, even if it’s the same representative. So even if you are the representative of Gluttony, you don’t have the same as the previous representative."

"The buff can be good or it may not serve anything."

"For example, Kaelith can generate potent aphrodisiacs that can even affect the goddesses, and all thanks to her position as the representative of Lust."

"Your older sister had an exponential increase in power when she activated [Berserker] and took damage."

"That is, she took a blow and it would be equivalent to 1, took another and increased to 2, took another and increased to 4, and so on, until she deactivated [Berserker] and the effect passed."

"And the alchemist can transmute almost any material into gold or other precious gems, even living organic matter."

"The Buff is not obvious, so you have to find out for yourself." freēwēbnovel.com

’This seems interesting.’ I wonder if I have a good buff or not.

"...Although I think the weirdest case was that of Kaelith... she obtained the title of representative of Lust just by focusing on you... I think she did disgusting and bizarre things thinking of your image," When Nix says this to me, I shiver all over.

’That hopeless pervert used my body as pornographic material... I need to hit her a lot so she learns to stop using my image in a bizarre way.’
