Gods' Impact Online

"Slay the demon… king? Aurora stuttered. "You don't have to do that for me!"

Naturally, just like any lover, Aurora didn't want Zach to do something reckless when she didn't even know how strong the demon king was.

"I am not doing this only for you. I have other plans too," Zach stated in a solemn voice.

"And that is…?"

"It's… nevermind," Zach sighed. "That's the only reason."

Zach pulled Aurora's cheek and said, "Okay, I will be leaving now. Aria and the girls are waiting for me."

"Hmm…"

"What's wrong?"

"I want to spend more time with you, but I understand you need to leave. So I will wait for you to come back tomorrow," She said with a gentle smile on her face.

Zach smiled back at her and said, "I will create essence pills tonight and bring them to you tomorrow."

"Hmm.."

Zach placed Aurora on the throne from his lap and prepared to jump, but Aurora grabbed his clothes and looked at him with an alluring gaze in her eyes.

"..."

Zach didn't know what to do. He wanted to spend more time with Aurora, but he was already getting late.

"I will come back early tomorrow," he said calmly.

"That's not it…"

"Hmm?"

"Can you… kiss me…?"

"..."

"Please…?" she said with puppy eyes.

"But your jaw and mouth hurt every time you speak, right? And kissing would just make it worse—"

"Please?"

Zach couldn't refuse Aurora if she was making such a cute and innocent face.

"Fine~" he reluctantly agreed.

Aurora smiled and puckered her lips to receive a kiss from Zach while Zach slowly brought his face close to Aurora and sealed her lips with his lips.

Aurora's eyes widened as Zach kissed her, and she felt the pleasure of satisfaction, but that didn't last long when Zach stopped kissing her a few seconds later.

"Happy?" Zach asked.

"Can you do it once more…?"

Zach once again kissed Aurora on the lips, but he made sure to kiss longer this time so Aurora would feel satisfied.

After a minute-long kiss, their lips parted. Zach looked into Aurora's eyes without saying anything. But Aurora's eyes didn't look satisfied.

"One more…" she said.

Zach kissed her for a few more minutes until she fell asleep in his arms. He then stroked her hair and said, "I love you."

After that, Zach jumped and landed beside Milo.

Zach crouched down in front of Milo and patted her head before saying, "Thank you for always taking care of Aurora. If you ever want to leave this place and go to the outside world, you can let me know."

[But if I do that, who would take care of Lady Aurora?] Milo asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. Aurora's condition has recovered a lot, and I don't think it would be a problem if you left her alone for a few hours. Besides, I will be here with her, so there is no need to worry," he stated in a calm voice.

[...] Milo didn't say anything and simply stared at Zach with her pearl-like eyes.

"I don't want you to feel imprisoned here. You are my companion, not my slave." After a brief pause, he continued, "And I may have acted harshly to you in the past, but that was due to my anxiousness regarding Aurora. I didn't want to lose that. So if you ever felt that I was treating you harshly, then I apologize for that."

[No. Never had I thought that, and I never would. You are my master, and you can order me around to do whatever you want. Please, do not feel guilty because there is no need to.]

Zach patted Milo again, but this time, Milo also rubbed her head against Zach's hand. Seemingly, she was enjoying it.

DING!

Zach received a notification, and he knew who it was from without even opening it.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

[Ummm… master….] Milo called out to Zach.

"Yes?"

[I… umm….] Milo shook her head and said, [It's nothing. I will tell you when the time is right.]

"Okay."

Zach opened the portal and left Aria's domain.

"Look who is here~!" Aria commented after seeing Zach coming out of the chamber.

"We have been waiting for you for nearly 20 minutes, you know?"

"Let's go now."

Zach, Aria, Victoria, and Ninia left the church to go to Zach's favorite restaurant.

At first, Ninia refused to go with them even though she wanted to go, but Zach forced her to. She was delighted after knowing Zach was so thoughtful of her.

She also expected Aria and Victoria to be upset because Zach invited her too, but they didn't seem to mind. That made Ninia realize that they weren't as selfish as she thought they were.

After visiting the restaurant, Zach sat in the corner seat because he didn't want to catch the other player's attention. He knew he would eat a lot since he hadn't eaten or drank anything in three days.

The NPCs were also delighted to see Zach, and some even followed him, but Ninia told them to visit him tomorrow and drove them all away.

"You need to keep a line between your private life and your life as a God," Ninia said to Zach. "You can't please everyone even when you are a god. So please prioritize your own life before others, as there are also people close to you who want to spend time with you."

Ninia uttered that while shooting a glance at Aria and Victoria.

'She acts so innocently and kind when Zach is around…' Victoria uttered inwardly.

The owner himself approached Zach to take orders, but he only used that as an excuse to talk with Zach. He gave the menu to Zach and said, "It's good to see you are awake again."

"Yes. Thank you for your concern." Zach handed the menu back to the owner without even looking at it and said, "Bring all the dishes on the menu."

"...!" Everyone, including the girls and the owner, was surprised to hear that.

"Sure… thing…" the owner said while stuttering and left in a hurry.

That night, Zach gained the title of 'The gluttonous God' among his worshippers.

Author's Note- I recently changed my Wi-Fi isp because the old one used to have a lot of outages. But the new one turned out to be the worse. It was on and off for the entire day, and it was a headache.

Thanks, @CJ_Copeland_4177, for the gift!
