Chapter 901: Finn is different
“Skroll, how’s the infant?”
In a large and majestic hall, a voice sounded behind Skroll. He turned around with a smile on his face and adjusted his monocle.
“He’s doing fine. There, stuffing his mouth with so much food as if this is his last day alive.” Skroll chuckled mirthlessly, “How about on your side, Grimm? Any luck so far?”
The man named Grimm hummed and replied in a low voice: “We’re getting there, the infant’s memories are a bit difficult to decipher. It didn’t help that his pod was faulty as well, we can only grab mere glimpses.”
“If this doesn’t work, I’m afraid we’ll have to resort to Plan B.” Skroll shrugged, “Well, no matter. We’re in no rush. The infant doesn’t seem to be averting to his new life.”
“Well…” Grimm looked down on the one-way mirror to see the subject of their conversation having the time of his life gorging himself to fullness. “I can certainly see that.”
Skroll laughed and said: “Alright, you go back and work hard. I’ll take care of this one. We basically friends at this point you know? Don’t worry, he’ll start singing pretty soon. Have faith in me.”
“Okay, I’ll leave you to it.”
Down the banquet hall, Finn has absolutely no idea what’s happening behind his back. Even if does, would he care?
Very unlikely…
Why should he care when there’s practically a full on banquet in front of him?
At this point? Not even a world-ending calamity will be able to make Finn get up his seat.
Speaking of which, Finn never imagined this.
Actually, if you look at him closely, he’s crying tears of joy right now.
Not only he was reborn as a ‘Godling’ and obtained a ridiculously powerful body, he was also rewarded with a feast for his successful birth.
This is probably the best day in his entire life.
With the curse long gone and a new and powerful body to use, Finn could, once again, experience what’s its to taste something. He could also feel satiation without any fear of vomiting afterwards. It is truly the best day ever!
Time gradually passed and to his disbelief, Finn realized that he actually spent a whole day just eating. It was only then that he felt full and completely satisfied.
Despite this however, his stomach didn’t bulge the slightest. It remained flat and solid with eight-packs of sculpted abdominal muscles. It was awesome! This body is practically built just for him.
“Wow, you certainly have some appetite there, young one.”
“Skroll!!” Finn turned his head and beamed at Skroll.
It was obvious that he was happy and thankful for Skroll’s help. He had never had someone this kind to him before. Granted, it’s not really that hard to get him hooked.
Food can always be used as a bait and he’ll bite.
“How’s it? Did you have a good time?”
“Yes! Very much so! I haven’t eaten this much since forever! Thank you so much! Is there anything I can help you with? I don’t have any money to pay for the food you see…” Finn scratched his head in embarrassment once he got to the end of his words.
“You brat!” Skroll chuckled and swung an arm around him, “You’re only thinking of this now? Hell, you sure are shameless!”
“Eh…sorry! I can’t resist you know.” Finn was flustered with shame, “W-well, do you need my help with something then? Maybe I can repay you for feeding me.”
Skroll’s face turned serious as he leaned to Finn’s ears, he then whispered: “Well…there’s certainly something you can help me with, big boy.”
Finn shivered as he felt Skroll’s fingers gently circling the nub on his chest. He bit his lips in embarrassment but doesn’t seem to be against it…
Skroll laughed out loud and said: “Ai, you brat. You’re too damn easy! Whatever. We have endless supply of food anyway! Since you’re one of us now, there’s no need for formalities. Just take it easy and adjust to your new body.”
They then arrived at one of the large rooms at the end of the hallway. Skroll opened the doors and Finn was met with an exquisite sight.
This room reminds him of his old room back in the day. It was glamorous to an unnecessary extent. Every corner screams ‘wealth’ and was meant for only one person.
“This will be room from now on.” Skroll told him with smug expression, “How’s it?”
“Pretty! And very large! Are you sure I can use this?” Finn felt a bit hesitant since he’s long since used to getting dregs before. Receiving something this grand felt a bit wrong to him.
“Of course! You’re a special one, you know?” Skroll said in a ‘matter-of-a-fact’ tone.
“I’ll have you know that you’re vastly different from a regular infant Godling. Although you’re considered as an infant, you’re body’s already matured due to your unique circumstances.”
“Later on, when you understand what being a Godling truly is and began exploring your abilities, with your matured mind, these said powers should come naturally to you.”
“Before long, you’ll be as strong, if not stronger, than us. By then, you’d have even more privileges as a true Godling!”
“So, there’s no need for you to feel hesitant about enjoying these little things. If you discover your true potential, the things you can own will amount to so much more than this. So work hard, alright?”
“Skroll…” Finn felt very emotional.
When was the last time he felt this valued and important? When was the last time that someone was this kind and generous to him? When was the last time that he experienced a sense of belonging and acknowledgement?
Finn couldn’t remember. But all of this…are things that he didn’t know he yearned for, yet it was given to him without any restraints.
They barely even knew who he was…
“I swear…I want to give you a fat smooch on the lips right now.”
“Hahahahaha!! Easy there, Kid!” Skroll laughed merrily. His face then turned bewitching for a second before saying: “As much as I’m tempted to accept that offer, I’m afraid you have much to learn about your new body.”
“How about this…learn everything you need to know about your new body first.” Skroll then pointed at the table, “There’s a pile of books in there, take your time to read and explore the sensations of your new body.”
“Once you’re done well…I wouldn’t mind giving you a helping hand and a more thorough ‘experience’ for your new body.” Skroll chuckled, “What do you say?”
Finn sharply inhaled and nodded furiously, “Yeah…I’ll listen to you. I’ll read all of it.”
“My…” Skroll laughed coquettishly and said, “What good boy you are.”
Finn shivered and Skroll laughed uproariously once again.
“Alright, I’ll leave you to it. Don’t be in a rush. Take your time. I’ll visit you from time to time to check up on your health and progress, okay?”
“Yes.”
“Very good.” Skroll nodded and walked past him. Finn then felt a solid palm squeezing his ass and he heard Skroll said: “Go on, do your best. I’ll cheer on you. See you later…”
Finn stopped hesitating and walked towards the table. He sat down and began flipping through the thick books on the table. He didn’t even see Skroll walking out and closing the door behind him.
He was obviously not in right mindset before starting this. He was so flustered from all the flirting that the words written on the books completely eluded him.
Only after calming down moments later did he finally start making sense of things.
‘…these are written in a different language that, for some reason, I know how to read and write. They’re thick as fuck though, it’ll take me days to finish this one book alone.’
‘Well, no matter I guess. Skroll told me that I can take my time. If I am an infant Godling to their eyes, that means I shouldn’t have any responsibilities right now. They have to nurture me first.’
He paused and stood up from his seat, he then walked towards the whole-body mirror and looked at his new body.
Finn was taller, more muscular and fiendishly handsome in some ways. He couldn’t help but flex his muscles and admire his body for a bit before muttering to himself:
‘Yeah, it’s really not so bad. I like this new body of mine.’
“…Gods huh.” He whispered, “Never believed in them before. Never expected them to look like this either. But I guess they do exist. Only, our expectations were a bit mislead.”
Until now, Finn was still using the standards of his past to judge how things should be but he figured that has to change now.
He’s different…he should abandon the mentality of a human. He’s no longer that. Apparently, he’s a God now, so he should really learn what its like to be one.
Once he’s done admiring his new body, he returned to his seat and began reading seriously. At this point, he whole-heartedly accepted his new reality and filled with curiosity about his new identity.
Unbeknownst to him, this was the start of a trap that he will never be able to get out of.
