God of Tricksters

"Mhm." Theo let out a gentle moan as he gradually opened his eyes. Even though they had covered the room, the morning sun still entered the room through the gap between the curtains and somehow ended up on Theo's face.

Theo just wanted to go back to sleep again to ignore this light, but he ended up turning his head to the left and saw Agata sleeping soundly beside him.

All the memory rushed back into his head, making him feel surreal. The party was quite a blast and Agata couldn't stop herself from drinking. Boris asked him to bring Agata to her room, only to find Agata was faking her drunkenness just to leave the party with him. And they ended up in this room.

As if hearing the little moan he had when waking up, Agata opened her mouth while her eyes were still closed. "Good morning."

"Mhm. Morning." Theo smiled. "Want to sleep more?"

"Can you bring me a drink? I'm a bit thirsty."

"Sure." Theo smiled as he gradually rose from the bed and put on his clothes, trying to get some water. But before he left the room, he noticed that his Skylink was vibrating.

Curious, he took the Skylink and checked the message.

"Is there something wrong? Your Skylink isn't that busy if I remember it correctly."

Theo smiled and asked Agata. "Want to check the new home?"

Agata was confused for a moment but soon saw Theo showing the deed that his grandfather had taken. It seemed that the prime minister helped the entire process since he truly wanted many people with Orders to stay in this country. This was a great boost to the country's strength, so he made sure that Theo's group had the priority.

"Oh?! Sure, I'd love to."

"Okay. Wash yourself first. I'm going to bring something to drink." Theo nodded. "As well as waking the others up."

"Mhm." Agata timidly nodded.

Theo smiled as he left the room.

It didn't take him too long before he came back, finding Agata was dressing up for the inspection.

"By the way, how do you create the building? Is it just an illusion?" Agata asked while brushing her hair.

"Yeah. They're an illusion, but I'm spicing it up with another power. So, they're similar to that of the real stuff."

"If people know about your power, it'll cut the cost of the company to build a factory and so on."

"Not at all. I can create all the dead objects like a building, a bed, and decorations. But I can't create machines." Theo shook his head.

"Machines… Like refrigerators and stoves?"

"Yep." Theo nodded. He raised his hand and summoned a fire on his palm. "I can create the element, but maintaining it requires me directly involved since we have to turn it on and off. The mechanic is simply too difficult to copy."

"So, we still need to buy some stuff, right?"

"Yeah, but not so much. For now, I'll try to create the building and the rough outlines of the buildings before going for the details. I'll see which one I need to buy and which one can be replicated with my power."

"Won't they disappear if you aren't present?"

"Nope. The source of energy is from somewhere else." Theo shook his head and pointed at her waist. "Take a look at your right side."

Agata tilted her head and noticed a small circle on her waist. She never tattooed herself, so this symbol bewildered her.

"That's the mark of my power. As much as I want to tell you about this power, I can't. You have to become a Mythical Rank Expert and need to be able to understand your power to a certain degree… Sorry."

"No, it's fine. If this kind of power is easily accessible, the whole world would know of its existence already." Agata nodded in understanding.

"You can try to pour your Magic Power there."

"Magic Power?" Agata followed Theo's instructions. After pouring her Magic Power, the symbol reacted by letting out a wisp of Golden Magic Power, the same Golden Magic Power that Theo released from his body.

"That's the proof the mark is real. King Class Monsters and World Class Monsters won't easily touch you because it also means a war against me. Of course, they don't know me, but they surely know the consequence of fighting against someone at the level of King Class or even World Class Monster. So, they are usually pretty civil if they know about this power."

"I see. It's a pretty useful symbol. Is that the reason why the King Class Monsters we have met so far are pretty civil to you?"

"Yep," Theo admitted without hesitation.

"Thanks for letting me know. Though, I will rarely go to the other side from now on since I'm going to help you maintain the group. And I'll just level up and pursue my power at my own pace."

"Mhm." Theo nodded. Knowing Agata, even though she was telling him she wanted to get stronger at her own pace, she wouldn't be slacking. She would use the rest of the time to do something else. That was why there was no need to warn her or tell her something else. He only had to trust her.

"Done." Agata finished tying her hair into a ponytail as she rose from the chair, looking at Theo as if telling him that she was ready to go.

Theo smiled. "Let's go then."

"Yep." She walked to him and grabbed his hands. She felt a bit energetic today because this time, she didn't have to hide everything anymore. They didn't need to disguise themselves anymore just to be together. And this was the greatest joy in her heart.

They walked a bit slowly just to enjoy their time until they reached the garden where his group had gathered.

They seemed to be pretty eager to see Theo's power in constructing their base. Jeff had even hugged his sketchbook as if it was an important document. He said, "Everything is ready. I've taken everyone's ideas and drawn all of them."

Theo nodded with a smile as he said, "Let's go then! To our new base."
