Cheat Awakening

Myne, although wanting to burn the pink slippers in front of him to ash, but remembering the horror of the never-ending stairs, he, with a heavy heart, put aside his dignity. With a sigh that spoke volumes of his inner struggle, he donned the slippers

"Hahaha..."

A burst of laughter echoed playfully through Gal's room. Myne, eyes squeezed shut, could only grit his teeth and surrender to his fate. Velvet, perched beside Gal, chimed in with uninhibited guffaws, while Gal herself chuckled indulgently, a subtle yet genuine smile gracing her lips.

However, Gal didn't forget her work, with an ear-to-ear grin on her face, she put a drop of her blood on Myne's new pink slippers, each for formalities, of course, so her mischief would not be caught by him.

"Now, that's it. You two can go," Gal said, waving goodbye, a hint of wistfulness in her voice. "Though I haven't much hope, I pray you both to find your way home safely."

"I..." Myne opened his mouth, a wave of guilt cresting within him. He yearned to speak, to express his gratitude and lingering concerns. But seeing Velvet beside him, he shut his mouth.

"Honestly," Velvet huffed, marching towards the window with an air of exaggerated exasperation. "You two are now treating me as a child, and that too a blind one. It's as if I can't see anything going between you two. Tsk, there is no trust between couples nowadays at all," She paused at the window's edge, her voice softening. "Remember, don't dawdle too long, I'll be waiting in the garden."

Myne and Gal's jaws dropped in equal measure. They didn't expect that Velvet would find out about their little secret within a few minutes after meeting both of them together.

"Is my acting truly that shoddy?" Gal asked doubtfully, but before she could react a blur of motion wept and she was lifted off her feet and engulfed in a passionate embrace. Their lips met in a heated kiss, a firestorm of unspoken emotions igniting between them.

The passionate kiss between the two couples, who were about to separate, doesn't need a description of how intense it can become. It's not for the fact that there are still some senses in their mind; maybe by now, their clothes have already left their bodies.

"I... I'm truly sorry," Myne gasped as they broke apart, his voice laced with self-reproach. He always felt like he was taking advantage of Gal, although she herself made it clear that she didn't mind. But Myne couldn't put away this feeling in his heart.

"Shut up," Gal yelled angrily, silencing his apologies in midway. "I told you, your apologies are of no use. What I need, you cannot give me. So just... shut up and let me savour this final moment."

With that, she silenced his further protests with another kiss, her touch both desperate and tender. It was a plea for him to simply be present, to enjoy the fleeting moments they had left.

This intense kissing session lasted for 10 minutes before Gal unwillingly pushed Myne onto the bed and spoke while panting lightly.

"Now go," Gal murmured, finally breaking away and turning away from him, looking at the ceiling as if it were some kind of piece of art. "Don't keep Velvet waiting."

Myne, frustrated by being treated like a toy yet understanding Gal's desperate attempt to mask her grief, could only frown in silence. He really had something important to say. But this damn new wife of his didn't let him say anything.

Sighing helplessly and holding his anger back (otherwise, Velvet might have to wait for him the entire day), Myne walked beside Gal and slapped her bubbly butt with all his might.

"Paa..."

"Ahhhh... What are you doing?" Gal cried out in pain as Myne's slap was really quite heavy, and the dress she was wearing was also very thin. Other than looking beautiful and covering her body, it couldn't even provide 1 point of defence, so his palm, you can say, directly touched her juicy ass.

"Pa..."

Myne didn't reply but gave another slap on Gal's juicy ass while holding her arm, so she didn't run away from him. He continued to do it until Gal's eyes became watery before he stopped, and he hugged her tightly, not caring that Gal could beat him to death at any moment now if his explanation wasn't satisfactory.

"If I knew you'd be so stubborn and deny your hubby the chance to speak on such an important occasion, I never would have married you," Myne murmured softly, stroking her long, silky hair. He sighed deeply. "First and foremost, I am truly sorry for leaving you so soon after our..." He stammered, unsure how to describe the events in the basement.

While it had resulted in another beautiful and caring wife, the process wasn't exactly something to celebrate. "Amm, marriage ceremony," Your next read awaits at empire

"Initially, I planned to spend a few days with you. But after getting to know you a bit, I decided not to. I fear that if we stayed together longer, you might get dragged into this madness and risk your life with me for no reason. After all, even if I don't succeed, we've only known each other for two days. You'll remember me for a few weeks at most before moving on, life is all about moving forward.

So, please forgive me for making such a selfish decision."

Myne paused, gazing into Gal's purple, tear-filled eyes. A small chuckle escaped him, and he gently wiped away her tears. "Thank you for everything you've done. You will always be my second dearest wife in my life and welcome to the Fortuna Family." With that, he took her left hand and slipped a dazzling golden ring with a blue diamond in the middle onto her finger.

The ring shimmered with the secrets of the night, crafted from moonlit silver. A pearlescent moonstone, kissed with lavender hues, rested at its heart, cradled by delicate vines that whispered of starlit forests.

Yesterday, after explaining everything to Velvet, at night, Myne again went to Belial and bought this ring from him. According to him, he picked it up from a random stall during the time he worked as a bandit and never needed to wear it as it was too feminine and useless. So, he happily sold it to Myne for 2 soul stones. Myne then pasted a few skills on it he thought would be most useful for Gal.

"This is the wedding ring I prepared for you. Although I am a bit late, you know it's not easy to prepare something when you don't know the other party's taste. Although the material of this ring is quite basic, don't try to underestimate it. I have personally put very useful skills into it. One is Vitality Absorption, allowing you to replenish your energy by simply touching another being.

This should be especially helpful for you since you need to eat others' energy. Second, a training-type skill – when you use the Scythe, it will make a better bond between you and your weapon... Amm very useful skill. And the last one is a powerful healing skill – as long as you have mana, any kind of injury can be healed in a matter of minutes.

Even lost limbs can be regenerated, but it will take more time..."

"You made it yourself?" Gal interjected, staring at the ring in her hand with a kaleidoscope of emotions - joy, disbelief, shock, and something akin to awe.

Myne chuckled softly. "The ring itself isn't my handiwork, I bought it, but the skills imbued within are indeed my creation. After all, a wedding ring, couldn't be simple, right?

This ring will stay with you as long as you remember me, so it deserves to be special, just like yours." He gestured to The Fate Ring adorning his own finger, the one he couldn't remove despite numerous attempts, but since appraisal skills couldn't show any data of it, this shouldn't be a random ring.

"Even though I didn't know the ring's effect, I know it is very special. So if I give you a random golden ring, then what about equality? Don't you make fun of me every time you look at the ring?" Myne joked with a small chuckle.

Tears welled up in Gal's eyes. "Thank you..." she choked out, "This means the world to me."

Myne's heart skipped a beat. "Hey, why are you crying? If you don't like the ring, you can put it aside! No need to be so emotional." His initial pride at his work had morphed into frantic concern. He couldn't fathom what he'd done wrong.

"Sob, no, I like it, I love it," Gal, wiping away her tears, chuckled slightly. "I will never separate this ring from me," She pulled him into a tight embrace, then pulled back with a smile.

"Phew, here I thought you didn't like the ring. This time you really scared me to death," Myne gasped, relief flooding his features. Gal's laughter filled the room once more.

"Alright, enough sentimentality," Gal declared a glint of mischievousness in her eyes. "It's time for goodbyes, or don't blame me for locking you in the basement to prevent you from leaving!"

Myne laughed. "Then perhaps I best be going. You indeed have the capital to do this. I believe in my most powerful wife, but before I leave, take this, a small farewell gift. I hope you like it," He presented her with a storage pouch adorned with golden thread.

"Is it a storage prop? What is inside?" Gal asked with a frown because when they first met, she clearly saw Myne only had one storage pouch. Although she understood he was hiding something at that time, it still surprised her that he could easily take out so many space magic props which are very rare in hell.

"Homemade food prepared by your younger sister, some clothes and innerwear my favourite ones, dozens of litres of magic water to replenish your mana and stamina in an emergency, and a few other minor things. But please don't open it now. I wanted to do it later after we left. Some surprises deserve to be unveiled in solitude.

Hopefully, we'll meet again, my grandma wifuu," Myne winked playfully, planting a deep kiss on her lips. With a final wave, he leapt from the window. Now he really feared that if he didn't leave quickly, he might not be able to separate from her.

"We will surely meet again. Just wait for me..." Gal spoke emotionally while waving at Velvet and Myne, who were getting further and further from her.
