Chapter 11 (1/2)
”Hmm” A boy could be seen mumbling in his sleep on a bed made of grass and a blanket made of leaves.
The boy was probably having a nice dream with the expression on his face.
His face was adorned with a big smile and a small trickle of drool coming from the tip of his mouth.
His right leg had fallen off the bed and so had his right arm.
Seeing his innocence in his sleep, one might mistake him for a cute little vulnerable child.
And yet he was not a child and no longer vulnerable, but a Phoenix on the path to divinity.
But seeing his nonchalance would make anyone relaxed and hypnotized by his cute and beautiful face.
Irresistible, one would want to look at him and pinch him forever.
The cave didn't make a single sound, neither did the birds, the light gusts of wind from before had ceased and the water from the waterfall still flowed, sounding like a melody.
The glow emitted by the crystals had faded a little and was no longer as bright and dazzling as before despite the fact that it still lit up the cave.
But the light did not bother Shin who was sleeping because the cave tree under which he slept protected him from any unwanted light.
Even Shin did not make any snoring or other noises, he just slept peacefully and showed it well.
------------------------------------------------------
After a few minutes of silence that seemed eternal, it was finally broken by Shin's awakening.
”Hmm” Shin's eyes opened gently but easily thanks to the shadow cast by the tree.
Having opened his eyes completely, he rubbed his eyes to awaken himself completely while sitting down.
”Aaah” He stretched out his arms to push a waking yawn.
”For a first night outside, it was pretty good,” said Shin.
Contrary to what he thought before going to bed, he hadn't felt any fresh air coming from the wind and the room temperature was neither too cold nor too hot.
And then there was this grass bed that was a comfortable insolent compared to all the beds he had ever seen in his life.
The blanket although it was made of leaves was also pleasant, not scratchy and gave him a pleasant temperature.
”A Divine Realm huh...” Shin thought back to the dream he had just woken up from.
Finally it was not a dream but he was able to access the Divine Realm through dreams so well...
At least now the future problem of the house is solved.
”Now, the next goal is training.”
Shin exclaimed as his smile disappeared and his eyes became serious. He couldn't laugh about training because it was a very important part of the training.
He needed perfect control over his body and his abilities as well as experience in combat if he was not to suffer undesirable consequences.
”But before that”
Shin's serious face disappeared as he got up from his bed and walked towards the pond.
By the way, Shin's bed did not disappear but and remained always in the same place without having moved a grass.
'Will it stay forever?'
Dissipating this thought from his head, Shin arrived in front of the lake and began to take off his clothes one by one.
”A good bath will not be refused”
Since he had arrived, Shin hadn't washed and despite the fact that he didn't stink and didn't sweat due to enormous efforts, he would always feel bad for not washing.
The water was a perfect temperature, pleasant like a hot spring, but it was not.
But Shin didn't think much because he was in a state of infinite happiness right now. He took full advantage of this divine feeling.
After 1 hour of pure relaxation, Shin finally decided to take a real bath.
”System, could I have some soap please”
[Of course.]
A soap appeared in Shin's hands.
An oval soap that gave off an intoxicating scent and invaded his nose with a sweet scent of delicate, aromatic exotic fruit.
All this mixed with his natural male body odor could drive a woman crazy and addicted to this smell like a drug.
”Is it free?”
”Nice” Shin was happy that it was free, he expected it to be paid for.
Points saved even if he wasn't interested in it for the moment.
After finishing washing himself properly to be all clean, Shin came out of the pond and bent down to pick up his clothes when he saw them on the ground.
”More dishcloths than clothes without being mean”
Shin did not want to be disrespectful but the clothes he had been torn from everywhere and did not even make his size.
”System, you would not have clothes to sell?” Shin by asking knew that he was going to have to spend his points for the first time.
It hurt him a little to spend them on just clothes but he didn't have much choice, he wasn't going to go nȧkėd outside.
Of course host, as a parting gift, a pair of clothes was randomly chosen for you].
”Thank you” Shin replied politely but deep down he was praying for clothes that would fit him well and that wouldn't look too ugly or weird.
He wasn't picky but who would want to have ugly or weird clothes when you have a system that can give you so much.
While he was praying deep inside him, his body was suddenly illuminated with a white light that dazzled Shin who closed his eyes.
Shin felt a weight on his body again and the light seemed to be gone so he opened his eyes.
When Shin opened his eyes, he could see that he was now wearing new clothes.
”Wow” When Shin saw his new clothes, he was surprised and relieved.
He was wearing a plain white shirt with a folded collar that cut into a V-shape at the bottom of the shirt and a nice gold tie that was not too flashy. He had a rather basic gray-black pants but well cut with plain white shoes just as basic.
But the most flashy and beautiful was his jacket over his shirt.
It was a beautiful jacket in a beautiful emerald green that blended perfectly with his eyes with beautiful golden streaks.
(ibb.co/vL0GFDF about the same but with the colors said before)
Shin was not at all disappointed with these clothes and did not expect as much when he asked for nice clothes.
At this point, it would be difficult to say that he was ordinary.
His clothes were magnificent and of a masterful quality. People would surely take him for a person of royalty or even divine roots.
”It's almost too much” Shin thought of taking a cape or a piece of clothing to hide in but quickly abandoned the idea.
”Now that the bath is over, training can begin”
Shin started walking towards the exit until he asked himself a question.
”I wanted to start with my Phoenix transformation but maybe I should do it in the cave.”
He didn't know how big he was going to be and if he was too big, the risk of being attracted and seen would be increased.
But at the same time if he was too big, he would destroy the cave and die in the most stupid way.
Shin doubted that his size was so big that he could destroy the cave since it could accommodate several ȧduŀt dragons flying in it, but he did not want to take any risks.
After all, he is not a normal Phoenix but a Phoenix God which could make a pretty big difference in size.
Reflecting, Shin stayed on his first idea and took the step towards the exit.
Crossing the long corridor, Shin arrived outside the cave to admire the landscape.
He could see that it was daylight and looking at the sun, it was around 12 o'clock.
