Hyping myself up, I walked out of the bathroom in clothing oddly similar to Amon's but white and gold, perfectly fitting me. I noticed the unmistakable Amon clone waiting next to my door, causing me to want to frown, but I suppressed it as I said,
"Darling, might you trouble yourself to bring me to the vault of our lovely home?"
After saying that with a radiant smile that could smite any woman, Amon's clone beamed back at me, asking, "Oh ho, now how do you know that~?"
I kept up my smile while starting to feel anxious inside. "The monocle, of course, my dear. It gave it away. How could I not know about the troublemakers of the error pathway? Given the rumors about 'you'—or 'he,' if you're just his ancestor—you are most likely the angel of trickery. Though I could be wrong, I highly doubt it, given the rumors about 'you'."
After saying that in a steady voice, the monocle on their face seemed to glow as they replied, "I see, I see. A smart one you are. We'll have plenty of talks later, I hope. But there is something I'm dying to know: what do you plan on getting and why?"
I smirked at that, looking straight into their monocle with the only eye I could use, my hair covering half my face. "Simple really; I'm planning on getting a faceless characteristic to use for our consummation night. What else?"
Their eyes widened like those of a child seeing the first action figure their parents actually got for them after begging for one all year. "I could give you one; however, the only one you could handle would cause madness. Can you really handle it?"
My smirk grew wider as I slicked my hair back. "Now, now, the real question would be: can you handle me tonight after getting the faceless characteristic, would it not be, Amon?"
In as smug and self-assured a tone as I could muster—without wanting to pray some more to return to my reality—I continued, "Interesting. Now that you say that, I have a burning question. If you know so much, even if not as much as I assume you know, why do this and not, oh, run away in fear of 'me' parasitizing you?"
With a gentle smile on my lips and both eyes exposed, I replied in a soft tone, "Why, you ask, my dear? Well, the answer is very simple: because I've never slept with an angel, much less a Beyonder, so I'm curious what it will be like."
As if pre-arranged by divine forces, sunlight struck my back softly and gently. Amon looked at me and smiled. "You've got 50 years to satisfy me, got it?"
Instead of responding with a nod or simple affirmation, I wrapped my arms around 'her' body, leaning close to their ear and tickling it with my breath, saying, "Oh, I think I can fulfill that desire tonight, my dear."
With a playful tap to my body, I found myself against the wall as they said, "Well, I look forward to the experience with you as well, honey~." A hint of pink flashed in their eyes as they walked away to a closed door. I smiled at that—not because I was really excited, but because I realized that had to be them trying to seduce me using charm powers from the demoness pathway. Yet I felt absolutely nothing, same as when I recalled the plot of COI and LOTM, as well as the names of the pillars or even gods.
For example, with Cheek, when I thought of "her," I felt nothing other than curiosity about what would happen if they became a Great Old One, should "she" ever gain the Sefirah City of Calamity. That was one of the things I thought would be cool to see.
Though something I really wanted to do was ensure I got to see Klein himself—the fool who didn't belong to the era. I wondered if I should use my knowledge to make my own diary mixed with a little Morse code for the heck of it. Damn, I got lost in thoughts again.
After getting lost in those thoughts, Kieran quickly composed himself, thinking, 'I may be scared shitless, but at least I have the ability to not get mad—or rather, be corrupted.' Thinking of that as a win, Kieran got off the wall he was leaning against and waited, arms crossed, for Amon to come back.
Thankfully, he didn't need to wait long. While he was lost in thought, enough time passed for Amon to come out of a door right next to him that seemed to appear out of nowhere, skipping and humming before stopping to glance at his left eye.
"Your beautiful wife has brought you the faceless characteristic—a second ring you can wear on your left ring finger. Aren't I amazing?"
Not really caring, Amon noticed Kieran's lack of reaction and asked, "Don't tell me you're tired already. I only kept you waiting for an hour."
Kieran's eyes widened at that as he turned to Amon, shouting, "An hour!?'' He thought his time might have been stolen and regretted not praying to the Celestial Worthy Of Heaven And Earth For Blessings Amon smiled and laughed as 'she' simply tapped his shoulder and said.
''I'm joking of course I was only gone for 2 minutes anyway here you go I hope you're able to handle it.' After Amon said so to him a ring appeared on his palm as Amon disappeared into a door that came from nowhere with a sigh Kieran put the ring on his left hand's ring finger as he thought 'Okay now that i've gotten my hand on this my chances of expecting have increased by 50%.'
With a smirk Kieran headed to his room that contained a full length mirror.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Upon arriving in his room, Kieran quickly stripped off his clothes and began shifting his body's appearance. First, he let his hair grow longer, extending down to the length of his upper body. Once it reached that length, he cut some of it off, watching as the strands fell to the ground without disappearing.
With a satisfied nod, he removed the ring that had facilitated the transformation, reverting to his original appearance, hair intact. A smile spread across his face as he thought, 'My guess was right. Even though it wasn't explicitly stated that one couldn't change the length of their hair, it turns out I could.
Judging by the fact that the hair on the floor still existed, he realized the potential of this ring. Faceless are truly one of the most broken abilities in the world of the living, and no one even knows it. If my plans don't go awry, I've got a good chance of surviving until Klein arrives.
Now then let's see if my medical knowledge allows me to do what I wish.' Quickly putting the ring back on pooting starts shifting his own DNA and soon a warm feeling spread out across his body causing him to smile 'I guess medical school paid off in some respects other then the debt I owe to the bank of course.
With this my body regenerates on its own soon though i'll have to find a way for my blood itself to act as a brain for my body though anyway it's confirmed faceless characteristics as long as you have enough knowledge on the body allows you to basically do whatever you want with your body.'
After confirming this Kieran decided to experiment on himself for hours as he wasn't affected by the madness of this world or corruption causing him to not be exhausted even mentally has he did whatever he wanted.
