62 Chapter 27: The Portal To Another World (2/2)

As you venture not only to distant worlds but also through vastly different lands we would like you to fight off and cleanse said leaders and locations of this sickening void in which life has plummeted to their very depths.”

As Eve showed herself once again I got lost in thought.

Thinking back at what had happened, Ragnee's clan must have been one of many,

fallen victim to the king of Mineral. As I thought about why he wanted to get rid of those posing a threat to his position I began to realize the ”Sins” Eve was talking about were rooted deep within our beings, as they would probably latch on to their most primal desires.

Such as; Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath.

Quickly I realized that in the small portion of what I had seen and experienced in the world of Arganthes of the town of Sharoo for that matter, that I had already had an encounter of multiple sins as they had surfaced inside those whom I had encountered.

Thinking back, I already had twice the encounter with ”Lust” as Christine Von Darkflame had me completely entranced. Not to mention my first experience with the three full moons,

thinking back at my ”first-time” I turned red. As the memories with Alive ”Midnight” Thumper resurfaced. Quickly I tried to think of something else as my body began to react in honesty towards my memories.

Eve being synchronized with my being also experienced the heat going up and didn't know how to react as she looked down. Thankfully I could calm myself down as I began to think aloud.

”Thinking about the king's intentions, it might have been quite a lot of sins…

Sloth, Pride, Greed, and even Envy… hmm…”

Eve cut me short as the magi-doll began to boot-up.

”Quickly now, she's about to take physical form and open up her eyes!”

We both quickly turned toward the magi-doll, when Eve began to mumble and worry if it final initialization would become a success. Surely moments later the doll took shape,

at first the doll had the appearance of both those dear to me when suddenly her appearance began to slowly shift and change. Not sure about what I saw the doll had taken the form of a young woman with short white hair.

A window popped up in front of me as it finalized the last settings.

[Reading personal preference of synchronized host…

Finalizing registration… Opening eyes for registration…]

”Quickly now, stand in front of her!”

I did as Eve instructed and stood in front of the doll when it began opening its eyes…

Golden glowing shards could be seen as she began to scan what was in front of her, me.

[Registering, master… Checking, Soul Synchronization… Check…]

The doll turned its head fully taking in my appearance, whenever so slightly it began to smile.

[Registration… Complete… Finalizing, personal preferences… Synchronizing with mental image…]

The dolls' eyes began to glow brightly as it changed its appearance to what I was thinking about. Now the doll had taken on the features I had been thinking about shortly when I finally realized I looked at the doll in awe as I wasn't able to hold back my feelings.

[Thank you for using magi-tech, would you like to register a name?]

[YES] / [NO]

I quickly tabbed yes and inserted her name. ”Haruka”.

The doll smiled and gladly accepted her new name.

”Haruka is ready for your assistance master, please allow Haruka to help with whatever you need.”

Unable to look away blood began streaming down my nose,

as I finally snapped out of the state of trance I had found myself in.

Flustered and embarrassed I looked away and ordered Haruka to put on some clothes.

”Damnit! Haruka… you can't walk around like that, I think I won't be able to handle it.”

Haruka smirked and teased me with a sexy pose before manifesting a set of clothes perfect for her figure. Her clothes as they tightly fit around her body consisted of green and white attire,

her shirt had open shoulders while it still sleeves.

Unable to fully cover her cleavage with it she noticed I liked her get-up and decided to leave it as is because the zipper got blocked because of the sheer majestic size of them.

Her trunks were really short and mostly white as the same pattern with different shades of green was still visible. I wasn't able to keep my eyes off her as she continued to tease me throughout the entire examination.

Realizing we weren't there for fun I quickly turned, facing towards the portal.

But before continuing I noticed something during the boot-up sequence and asked Eve about Haruka.

”Say, Eve…I know Haruka feeds on the combined souls of my dearest friends, which in a way is incredibly dark… almost even inhumane… yet her personality is exactly the combination of those two. Now… What I would like to now, if why you were stressing throughout the entire sequence,

not to mention how relieved you were when the registration was finished… Don't tell me…”

Eve sighed as it became clear she was caught red-handed.

*sigh*

”Okay… okay… the deal we made with you, giving you what you desired…”

”Yes…?”

”To be honest, it was an experiment from my creator, a prototype so to speak.

You see, the creator wasn't certain it would have worked with only one soul, which is what she wanted to accomplish, as we have used two souls this time it seems it has been successfully finished. But, maybe we should have told you beforehand?”

I grabbed eve and looked her straight into her eyes, as I confronted her with the way she had handled things.

”You think?! Say… you didn't even consider either of it beforehand did you?”

Expecting me to get mad at her and flat out refuse to cooperate with her,

Eve braced for wrath to be unleashed upon her. When suddenly it ended rather anti-climactic.

”Well… I'm glad it all worked out the way you hoped,

and to be honest, now I have both my best friends back. In a sense that is, haha.

Which is why I can't wait to help you on this journey to find those worthy of ”The Artifacts of The Ancients!”

Something inside Eve began to ache as she knew what she had done was wrong,

yet I was willing to forgive not only her but also her creator for it, even joining her on her quest.

Haruka turned towards the portal as she took me by the hand unable to pick up Hikari,

it looked like we left her behind… not wanting to do so, I wanted to quickly turn and pick her up… Yet… I was unable to do so.

”Come on, we are losing daylight here, weren't we supposed to pass through the portal, master?”

Quickly pulling me along as we made our way towards the portal,

the window asking me if I wanted to enter popped up once more.

This time I answered [YES]. The portal began to glow as it allowed us to pass through…
