NOVEL WEB Chapter 100 - A Cute Moment
-----
Chaos received a sudden love confession from Abyss right after he admitted being developing romantic feelings towards her, although he did say that he was still developing proper emotions, so he wasn't so sure about how strong his own feelings were.
Nonetheless, something within him felt different when a girl ended confessing her love to him. Although Chaos didn't realize it, there were many girls around him interested in him, but he lacked the common sense to realize.
After all, Chaos' previous life didn't let him develop common sense. And in this life where he is a monstrous and gluttonous being… it is even harder because his animalistic and monstrous instincts get in the way of thinking things clear… Although he is working hard to become a better intelligent living being.
Abyss glanced at Chaos while blushing, her adorable face, which resembled her previous life appearance, seemed very cute as she felt like she had been a bit too sudden.
"I see… Then I suppose we like each other. I guess that's nice. It feels nice, I think…" said Chaos, smiling a bit. An honest smile.
"Y-Yeah! W-We like each other… I-It makes me so happy!" cried Abyss, as her eyes seemed to flash with bright light, many eyes across her body began to emerge sometimes, making for a flashy scene.
Chaos tried to calm her down as he began to pet her head. She had silky black hair despite being a Shoggoth. After evolving she was able to emulate even better a human-like body type, although there were still some parts of her body that would turn into a slime-like substance.
"Calm down. Unlike me, you have very crazy emotions, Abyss. I envy you a little bit… I wish I could have developed them sooner so I wouldn't be so awkward with other people. But still, calm down for now." Said Chaos, his calm and composed appearance and expression made Abyss only love him even more… It was just… He was such a charming man!
Or at least, for her, he was.
"A-Are you happy that I love you, my lord?" she asked.
"…I am. I am quite happy," said Chaos.
Abyss gently hugged Chaos as Chaos felt her warmth, this time after both confessed their feelings to each other, it felt a bit different than other times. Chaos felt… embarrassment.
"W-Well… Then… Maybe we could do what those that love each other do…" she said.
"Hm? Like what?" asked Chaos curiously.
"L-Like… Y-You know… K-Kiss… and… b-be lovers and… date and… m-make… b-babies…" she said.
Chaos felt intrigued, he really didn't know anything about that.
He wondered if there could be any book here to give him some insight about kissing, having a lover, dating, and making babies.
However, because he didn't understand, he didn't want to rush things.
"I would like to do things slowly, so you can teach me more about it. If we hurry, we might end up messing things up and our feelings for each other might become lesser. And it wouldn't be something I would like to happen," said Chaos.
Abyss, who was already thinking about making little abominations with her lord, was startled by his words and realized that she might have been rushing things out too much.
"Ah! S-Sorry for being such a degenerate, my lord! I-I will slowly do things and… e-explain them to you…." She said.
"I see, thank you. I am happy that you know about this stuff despite having been… an experiment like me. I wonder, did you had a pace of development that I lacked?" asked Chaos.
Abyss felt a bit happy that Chaos wanted to know more about her past, although he had not asked for a long time because he didn't want to make her unease by recalling such a horrible past.
"I… I did. I believe I was put into the laboratory at a later pace… S-So I knew some things. I-I don't think it is bad that my lord doesn't know such things. Somewhat, such innocent makes my lord very charming," said Abyss.
"I-Is that so? I see…" said Chaos.
"A-And even more, I can help my lord learn those things slowly so… We can bond better together…" said Abyss.
"Oh yeah, it will be fun," said Chaos.
Abyss smiled warmly at her lord, as Chaos smiled back.
Suddenly, he approached his face to her a bit and kissed her cheek.
"Ueehh?!"
"Was that a kiss? I've seen some Orc women do it with their husbands," said Chaos.
"Y-Yes… I-It was very lovely my lord! I shall never wash that cheek! E-Ever again!" she said.
"You don't have to be so extreme over it…" sighed Chaos.
"Hehe… I am just happy!" said Abyss, her smile seemed to make Chaos happy as well.
After a few fluffy conversations between the two, Chaos decided to continue reading for the rest of the day, as many books about magic as he could find, until he finally found something… about Necromancy!
In fact, there was a whole section about Necromancy in the library.
Sadly, they were not magic-infused books, but books that explained the theory of necromancy.
To use Necromancy, there were several roundabouts.
One was to use Dark Arts Magic, which can be learned naturally, Phantom Magic, which requires natural affinity, Soul Magic, which can be learned, or the strongest and easiest way of Necromancy, Death Magic, which required both talent and being born with affinity!
As Chaos delved into these books and began to read them over and over again at incredible speeds, Abyss was also reading books and learning more about reading.
Without realizing it, the two spent three whole days in the library, although their perception of time was warped, similarly to inside a dungeon, which made it, so it felt like only half a day transpired for the two.
As Chaos and Abyss were supernatural beings who were quite tireless and didn't particularly need sleep, they ended indulging in this hobby, and they only realized how much time passed when both began to get hungry.
