Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

[Gods begin to garner their gaze towards you]

My mana core swirled with some new strange power, causing my eyes to glow a dim white, and the feeling of a foreign body entering my soul was stranger than anything I had ever experienced.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

My heart began to beat rapidly, and a new sensation gathered at my fingertips, causing the strings made of water to turn into something akin to spider thread.

They were clear, but the only thing giving away their location was the dim glow that pulsated like a beating heart.

"This is pretty good…." I smiled.

[Your Angel Core begins to pulsate in tandem with your heart]

As I stared at the new panel silently floating in front of me, I grabbed my chest, which began to burn with some kind of sensation.

It wasn't very pleasant, but at least it didn't last long, allowing me to stand up and pour myself a nice and cold refreshing glass of water.

Each gulp was like liquid nitrogen being poured down my throat, freezing the core's burning properties as its power began to beat deeper and deeper into my body.

It flushed through my veins like pure hot white magma was being poured into my body, my heart only accelerating the process as the burning sensation began to crawl up my throat and into my mouth.

Steam came from my tongue as I gulped down the last drop of water hanging at the very bottom of the glass.

"Seal?" I heard Asger murmur from behind me, his mind still half awake as he smelled the steam beginning to coat the ceiling, just where the boy was lying.

"Fuck… shit… ummmm… just go back to sleep. Petra, open the window, please," I turned towards the little girl who was slowly walking behind me, attempting to check up on me.

I immediately sat down upon hearing the thumping sound of the window opening, allowing me to quickly drift into a bit of a meditative state as a breeze rolled in.

My eyes shut, squeezing closed before I could retract from this state, and with a rapid series of breaths, I managed to slip into my chest.

I opened my eyes, seeing a massive ball of dark orange light with one ring turning around it, just barely scraping the ball's edge.

The ball was insanely smooth to the point where it was almost uncanny as my metaphysical body reached out towards it, scraping the surface of it.

Unsurprisingly, it was smooth, and it felt just like rolling a marble within the center of my palm.

[You have unlocked the potential of angelic rings]

"Angellic… rings?" I muttered before my eyes slowly drifted up to the ball of dark orange material with its sole ring beginning to pick up speed.

A massive gust of wind swept through me, sending my body flying away from the ball before it opened up, revealing a massive set of jaws with rows upon rows of a seemingly infinite amount of teeth.

Chills shot down my spine. An icy grip worked its way up from my toes all the way to the very top of my head. Goosebumps had littered my skin, and it wasn't pretty.

"What the fuck is that?" My eyes widened before the ring circling the ball like it was Saturn, dislodged from its orbit, flying off of the orb now a beast and turning into a large angelic white halo floating just above it.

FWOOSH

My eyes which were already open, this time opened for real, and I found myself in Petra's embrace, her arms wrapped around me tightly.

"A-Are you okay?" She asked, allowing me to breathe a long sigh of relief, just noticing the sweat layering my skin.

"Yeah… huff… huff… I'm gonna take a walk. Nobody follows me, alright?"

As I stood up, my body wobbled just a bit, and with the help of Petra once again, I managed to work my way out of the room and begin walking down the hall.

"A-Are you sure you're alright?"

"Of course," I smiled, and as the little girl looked at me with a worried expression, as if she was my own mother, I got rid of the fake expression.

My exhausted frown was immediately noticeable, and as Petra wrapped her arms around me once again, I formed a slight but genuine smile.

"I'm walking with you. You're about to faint…." She placed her hand on my forehead, wiping the sweat off but also feeling how hot my forehead was. "You might have a fever… Let's just go to the nurse."

"*sigh*... You can come with me, but we are absolutely not going to the nurse. We're going to the library, and that's that, okay?"

"Library? Why are we going to the library now?" Petra questioned, but I didn't reply as I worked my way down the hall and up the stairs.

A simple right was more than enough to get me into the library, but I felt my body go numb, causing me to collapse onto the ground, my body sprawling out limp as Petra attempted to help me up.

"S-So heavy," She groaned before finally managing to pick me up and drag my sorry ass into the library.

An old man with short gray hair, a light stubble, and two fat lenses that fit into his glasses saw us and quickly stumbled over, revealing that he was just barely taller than us.

Petra giggled just a bit as he kind of looked like a goblin, but ignoring his appearance, he was a very nice guy who helped me to one of the vacant tables.

"I was just about to close, and here come two children… well, what do you need? You would have gone to the infirmary if you were sick, so tell me…." The man's eyes scanned my body. "Is it something related to magic?"

I slowly nodded, sweat covering my face so much that it began to drip from the bridge of my nose and down onto the freshly vacuumed carpets.

"I see…. Here, let me help you."
