Picking up Girls With My System

Skye could not believe someone would take her out of that place. She had been there for countless years.

“Wait, are you serious? I’m already married, so you’ll have to conquer me.”

“Is that a challenge? Skye here can do anything, hmph.”

The idea behind Arthur’s plan was to devour the energy coming from these monuments. He was not sure if it would work, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Skye saw the fire wings coming from Arthur’s back.

“What’s your plan, anyway? If I don’t mind asking.” Skye said. She followed Arthur in mid-air.

“I’ll eat these energies. If your guess is correct and these are hindering your way out, then you’ll be free.”

“Are you serious? Eat these energies?”

Arthur did not answer, and flew to the middle of the lake. All energies coming from the monuments mixed at that lake, so Arthur planned on go there and devour everything at once.

It was faster, but more dangerous as well. What if he couldn’t devour the energy and died on the spot?

Arthur did not believe that was the case. He was the lord of dragons, Placidusax. What could this mysterious energy do to him?

The moment he opened up his mouth, and all that blue energy got sucked, pain hit him hard.

Not the type of pain that a man could bear. It was a lot of pain. Arthur freeze in mid-air, and the energy kept going inside his body like crazy.

Arthur was unconscious to see, but a notification from the system popped up.

After all that energy enter inside his body, he fell. Skye was near, so she grabbed him before he fell into the water.

“Arthur!”

Skye felt within her body that something was different, and she guessed it meant she could leave that place. But there was no chance she would do that and leave Arthur behind.

There was a small wooden house Skye built together with the turtle. Trees grew inside that fissure, but most of the wood she got was from the turtle, as it was the only one of the two that could leave that place freely.

Skye put Arthur on a simple bed and tried her best to help him. She had been living there for a long time, so most of the plants that grew down there had their effects known to her.

There were a few that could help with pain and fever. Arthur was sweating and was hot as the sun.

“Wait, I’ll be right back.”

Skye left the house, looking for the herbs to help him. It was near, so it wouldn’t take her a long time to fetch those herbs.

Arthur was unconscious on the bed, sweating as if he was inside a hot tub. His body kept moving because of the pain.

“Agggrr!”

He opened up his eyes, which were changing colors. From red, his primary attribute, to yellow, blue, green, black, purple, and finally to the same blue as the celestial energy he absorbed.

[Celestial Body: Only a few selected individuals had reached this level of purity. These are known as ‘gods’.]

Arthur was already awake, and he saw that notification. Although he could barely understand what was happening because of the pain.

“You are awake?” Skye came rushing in to see how Arthur was.

“I- I’m, but I’m weak-”

He passed out again.

~~~~

“My head!” Arthur woke up, and the first thing he felt was a headache, as if he had drink too much last night.

“You’re finally awake, idiot.”

The person who said that was not Skye, but Jack. He woke up after passing out because of Skye’s presence, and was inside the wooden house as well, waiting for Arthur to wake up.

“Jack? Shut up. I’m not the one that passed out before things even started.”

“Funny.”

“Where’s Skye?” Arthur said, and then a voice echoed through the house.

“Looking for me, husband?” Skye giggled and gave Arthur a soup.

“This is made using medicinal herbs too, so it will help you get better faster.”

“Thank you.”

Arthur did not know why, but he woke up starving. He destroyed that soup as if he had not eaten in a long time.

Jack was not that happy because he wanted a treasure.

“Where’s the treasure? Aaagrr!”

“Treasure? I think I have a few things for you two. To repay the kindness.”

Skye woke up inside that fissure with a few belongings. She had no memories, so she did not know how to use them, or if they were powerful.

The first item she gave to Jack. It was a sharp curved sword, entirely made of a blue material.

Jack swung a few times and was delighted. The sword was light, yet it was hard. He had never seen a material so sturdy.

“Thanks.”

“It is nothing. Here, take this too.”

Skye threw a small poach filled with gold coins.

Now, for Arthur, she had another thing in mind. There was a necklace she wore since a long time ago.

It was precious, and it had sentimental value for her as well. But Arthur was the one that gave her freedom back.

She wanted to repay him for the best of her capabilities.

“Here, take this necklace, please.”

The necklace had a silver cord, but in the middle was an unknown gem that looked like the deep ocean.

“I- This seems important to you.”

“My freedom is important to me, and you gave it back. Please, accept it.”

“Thank you, Skye.”

Arthur accepted the gift, as he had no other choice.

“We should go back.” Arthur said, and Skye was the first one to agree.

They used the same path to get back to the place where Arthur and Jack had fallen. The wind had stopped, so they could fly away from that fissure.

Skye flew with them, and the moment she left the fissure, her memories returned.

She did not even flinch, and kept flying as if nothing had happened.
