A light spread from the both of them. The light was followed by a wave of darkness.

Charlus received a flurry of messages but he didn’t pay any heed to them. He was currently focused on his current situation. Charlus embraced the aura and the light and dark emanating from the both of them merged together.

The emanating aura lasted for a few seconds before subsiding. Charlus opened his eyes and met with the eyes of the girl whose lips were still on his. 

Charlus backed away from the girl. He did not look away though. He asked a question.

“I can’t believe I am going to have to ask this question to someone that kissed me but, who are you?” Charlus asked the girl softly.

The girl looked at the very confused face of Charlus. She replied in a sweet and soft voice.

“Mine name is Hebe. I greet thou.” 

Charlus liked the sound of her voice but was more intrigued by the language she used.

“How do you know me? I mean, what made you kiss me?” Charlus was still confused about why she kissed him.

“Thou are some one familiar to me. I am truly attracted thee.”

Charlus was vaguely accepting of those words. He understood her to some extent. Hebe seemed very familiar to Charlus as well. He felt innately attracted to her just like how she claimed. 

“And what were you doing in the stone?” Charlus pointed to the stone behind the girl.

Hebe looked back and saw the stone she came out from.

“I  hast descended from above.  I  hast been freed from mine offices as the Angel of Life.”

Charlus tried to comprehend what Hebe had said. She was the Angel of Life that was ‘freed’ from her duties. That meant that she was no longer an angel right? But she had wings.

“I am still an angel.  I just never hast to fulfil mine offices,” Hebe clarified.

“Wait, so are you like a couple of thousand years old?” Charlus asked Hebe.

Hebe laughed. “I hast fulfilled mine offices for 17 years after mine birth. Hence, I am now 17 years old.”

Charlus smiled back. “So you only needed to fulfil your duties for 17 years? God is that lax?”

Hebe replied, “God cares for all his children.”

Charlus stood up from his position. He walked around until he suddenly remembered something.

“Wait. I have wings! So am I considered an angel? Do I need to do some work for God or something? But I only became an angel like a month or so ago.” Charlus suddenly panicked. He didn’t want to be going to heaven so soon.

“Thou do want not to be alarmed.  Thou hast not been formed in heaven. Thou are an angel created by thy connection to perpetual death.”

Charlus vaguely understood Hebe’s explanation. He calmed down and decided to address the most glaring problem he was currently seeing.

“So where do you plan on living?” Charlus asked Hebe. 

Hebe smiled. “I shall wander the earth and hope the gracious people of the world shall provide for me.”

Charlus sighed.

“Perhaps you are confusing yourself with heaven, this is Earth. People on Earth aren’t as generous as you think. And with someone as beautiful as you, you are only going to be encountering people who… how do I put it? yes, lust after you.”

Charlus put it very bluntly and Hebe sighed. 

“I had been warned.  I was hoping that the world hadn’t turned this way.  What doth thou propose?”

Charlus thought for a while.

“You know what? I’m actually going back to my apartment today. I could take you with me. You could stay with me until you figure something out.” Charlus invited Hebe to stay at his apartment. 

Hebe hesitated and then smiled. 

“I appreciate thy offer. I shall help with whatever work is needed at thy home.”

Charlus nodded. “Now let’s get out of here. So let me clarify – you were put into a stone and were dropped into a random location on Earth?”

Hebe nodded. 

“I can’t take any more of this now. Let’s just go now. I think we can go directly to my apartment. It’s only like an hour away. I’ll just make a call and then we can start.”

Charlus took his phone out and called Denise. He didn’t want to leave abruptly but he had no choice. He didn’t want to be explaining Hebe’s presence to Denise. 

Once he finished talking with Denise, he called Lucie. He told her to go back to his apartment with her brother when they could if they wanted to stay there.

After managing all this, Charlus looked back at Hebe.

“I’m ready. We are flying there. Is that a problem?” Charlus asked hebe. Hebe shook her head. Charlus unleashed his wings.

He then took flight along with Hebe from the abandoned hospital. The minute they were a distance away from the hospital, the entire building suddenly collapsed in and out of itself. Charlus couldn’t even hear the noise and thus wasn’t aware of this collapsing.

Charlus was going to his apartment using google maps. It was quite irritating. He would have to check every few minutes to make sure he was going in the right direction.

After just half an hour, they reached their destination. Charlus and Hebe landed on the balcony of the house. Charlus unlocked the door with keys from his inventory. 

Once they entered, Charlus went to the front door to check if he had any mail or packages delivered to him.

When Charlus checked the front door, he did not find anything, so he went to the ground floor to check his mail. He found a single letter addressed to him. Charlus took the mail and went back to the apartment.

When he got back, he saw Hebe exploring the place. She was awed by the seeming spaciousness of the place.

“Here is most spacious. I didst not regard that this much space could be available in such a small building.”

Charlus sighed.

“I am very sorry to be pointing this out, but I want you to be living here like a normal person. That means making a lot of friends. And your style of English is going to make other mock you.”

Charlus’ words did not bring any expression from Hebe other than curiosity. 

“Am I supposed to conform to the speaking norms?”

Charlus nodded. “If you can. It will help a lot.”

Charlus went to the living room and settled on the couch. He invited Hebe to sit beside him. Once she sat, Charlus handed her the remote.

“Do you know how to use the TV?”

“I am well versed with using modern contraptions. I find them quite useful. Thank you. This will provide me with a lot of entertainment.”

Hebe was very happy that she had entertainment. She originally had no proper plan to proceed and Charlus had paved her an easy way in front of her. Charlus sat back and opened the mail he got.

Charlus,

Sebastian Chione, Head of the Chione Family, will come to town on 31st October. Please be ready.

It was a very short letter but Charlus became serious. It was only one week till October 31st. He didn’t think that he would be dealing with this issue this early. He was thinking about gathering some time so he could level up.

Of course, all this was not taking into account his incident with Hebe. He was able to gain a lot of levels in a short span of time. Charlus was planning on asking her once she eased into her new way of life.

Charlus wanted to be cautious around her but he felt so relaxed around her and felt that she was so familiar that he was unable to tense up and be cautious.

Charlus decided that he would have to get to the 4th Tier regardless. It was better safe than sorry. He had seen many security guards more than 2 tiers above him at the Gala and he felt weak. He needed to grow stronger. 

The only problem that Charlus had was that Charlus had no clue on how to grow stronger. He didn’t have any dungeons to clear – he had already cleared the dungeon that Brody had shown him. As for defeating humans, Charlus had already taken care of the Chione Family. Charlus really had nothing to do.

Hebe switched the channel to Warner Bros. Charlus saw a tom and jerry movie on the television. He laid back and decided to enjoy a little comedy. He started laughing heartily and casually turned his head towards Hebe.

“Say, do you have any ideas for growing stronger, Hebe?” Charlus asked Hebe.

“I recommend you to get closer to understanding your origin of power. Practice will make your control over the power perfect, but to gain more of this power, you must be able to comprehend how it works. I am unaware of how you can do this, but I would personally go to a hospital to watch infants being born into this world to understand the source of my power.”

Charlus contemplated what she said for a while. He looked at her and then observed her for a second.

[Hebe Lvl Unknown]

[Hebe is more than 2 tiers than host]
