Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses

While remembering the places you have visited, or imagining the places you want to visit, most of the time, you wouldn't be able to remember them fully. The empty pieces you couldn't remember would all be filled by your brain according to the way it wants, or your subconsciousness would want.

Although, for some people, that is not the case. There is a specialty called photographic memory which means said person can remember everything he or she has ever seen before with all the details contained.

And I was always proud of myself at that point. One of my strengths was always this. With the existence of my photographic memory, I was always able to study efficiently, which let me have more time to play games.

That was also the reason why I was able to remember everything in the game clearly, scene to scene.

The moment I got sucked by the painting while separating my consciousness from my body, I saw a scene I had seen before.

Yes, the thing I saw was a place I had seen before while playing the game.

There was a sub-quest chain to obtain a lightning elemental weapon for Emma, 'Raikiri.' That weapon was a legendary weapon from Japanese Mythology, which contains a maximum lightning attribute, and it was a 9-star magic weapon.

And, while doing that sub-quest chain, on the last quest, the trial of Susanoo, you would be teleported into a place where storms would always appear, and you need to be constantly alert to avoid thunder strikes that would happen in a very high frequency.

And, to obtain that sword, you would need to reach the Shrine of Susanoo, and in the midst of all that electrical currents, you would need to wield the sword and make it recognize you as its master.

Why am I explaining that quest to you? Because the place I got sucked in was the same place as in that trial.

There are sounds of thunder everywhere around me, and there are flashing lights of blue as well. And between all those, there was a familiar face and body flying in a lotus position with his eyes closed.

Yes, it was the Father. The 9-star lightning magician, the unparalleled genius of the Augustride family, increased his rank at the fastest rate until he reached the 9-star rank, Austin Augustride.

He was flying in the air in a lotus position like he was meditating. There were some bolts of lightning striking from sky to sea below him, and between all those frequent strikes, he was like the god of thunder itself, meditating with his eyes closed.

"Welcome to the Realm of Thunder, Callius. Congratulations. You finally managed to enter the Astral Realm."

At that moment, he opened his eyes and stared at me while making a smiling expression. His blue eyes shone deep like lightning itself, and the surrounding places were all covered with thunder.

"Thank you for your compliment, Father. But, if not for the instructions you gave me, I wouldn't be able to do it this smoothly. It was all thanks to you."

I said while bowing my head to Austin. No matter what, or how egoist originally Callius behaved while dealing with other people when it came to dealing with his father, he was always respectful and had never shown an arrogant attitude.

And from the looks of it, my traits are not active while dealing with Austin, which was to be expected since all those traits either stem from me or stems from Callius itself.

"As always, you are humble, my son. That said, you know the reason why you are here, don't you?"

He said while keeping the same smile on his face. But, in the end, his expression returned to the normal serious one he always equipped while training.

"You are here to learn the legacy of our household—the blessing of the Thunder God Zeus. You are going to start your path on the way of Thunder. I hope you are ready. It won't be an easy path, and once you start, there is no turning back."

/BOOM/ /CRACKLE/ /BOOM/ /CRACKLE/ /BOOM/ /CRACKLE/

He said with his eyes shining like thunder, and at the end of his speech, a huge number of lightning bolts strike to the ground below.

"Yes, father. I know."

I simply said with a smile on my face while bowing my head. I have some things in my mind about the content of this training, but I am still not sure still. If there is one thing that is certain, then it is the difficulty of it because the great power would never come without suffering.

And the moment he heard my answer, he put a proud smile on his face.

"Good then, let's begin. Son, do you know the essence of Lightning? Or, to phrase it differently, can you simply use the Lightning magic left to us by the God of Thunder itself? Can you simply classify it as normal magic?"

And he asked, with a serious expression on his face.

Those questions were one of the things I thought about before coming to this place. What is the magic of gods? Can I really use the magic of the Augustride family as normal magic with a simple rank system?

And the answer I came up with was no.

No, I can't do it. The magic of gods, its domain is simply different. It is not something mortal people like us simply classify. It is something different.

"No, father. We can't simply learn the magic of Gods like we learned the normal magic we humans developed from the books."

When I answered like that, Father nodded his head and smiled.

"Good, it seems you figured that out. You are right; we can't simply learn the magic of gods from books or, like other people, learn from the academy. Then this brings us to a question. How do we learn it? For all this time, how did the family of Augustrides pass their lightning magic from generation to generation?"

He asked with a smile, but the smile on his face was something I had seen before. That smile was whenever Austin would push me to my limits, whenever he would train me until I passed out. That was a smile that didn't bring pleasant memories. No, the memories it brought were some of the most unpleasant ones of mine.

And with that smile, he said;

"It is feeling the magic of gods, the way of thunder to its essence. Without feeling it, you will never be able to use the magic of gods; you will never be able to comprehend it."

"Then, how am I going to feel it, father?"

I asked while pondering what he said. It is true that comprehending the magic of gods in normal ways would be impossible, but what did he mean by feeling it? How am I going to feel the magic in the first place?

When I asked that, he put a knowing expression on his face like he knew I would ask this question. And following was a smile, the same smile.

"Wait, don't tell me!"

At that moment, it felt like I was enlightened. No way. Why did he call me into the astral plane? Was it because I would efficiently learn the technique of our household? No, it wasn't. It was because your body wouldn't erode in the astral plane since you are not in a physical shape.

"It seems you figured that out on your own. And you are right again. You need to feel the effects of our magic firsthand at the hands of your own family. Since there are no other people in this world, aside from our family, that can use the magic of Thunder God Zeus, naturally, to feel it firsthand, you need to be attacked by your own family. This was how our ancestors did it, and this was how I did it as well. And you will not be an exception to that either."

The moment he finished explaining, I understood why I was in the realm of Thunder. Why is this process conducted in this realm? I understood all of it.

When I closed my eyes to sense the mana around us, the only type of mana I was able to sense was the lightning-attributed mana. It was just pure lightning-attributed mana. There wasn't anything aside from that. Then, wouldn't that mean the lightning magic used in this place would be most powerful since there aren't any other types of mana that can be dragged into the magic you are trying to use?

While using the magic you want, you would try to maximize the mana of your willing attribute. However, if there are too many types of mana in your core or around you, you would first need to focus on separating them since the mana should be pure. However, in this process, you would naturally spend your focus on other things aside from strengthening your magic, which would result in less strong output.

However, since in the real of Thunder, there is only lightning-attributed mana, you naturally don't need to focus on separating other attributes, which means the magic you will use would be the most powerful you can ever do.

"Son, are you ready to feel the lightning? Even if you are not, there is no turning back."

Austin said with a smile on his face, and the moment he finished his words, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed me…

"Kugh-!"
