Nathan was not accustomed to his new body, and everything felt strange, heavy, and suffocating, with the abnormal number of people around him, making things even more difficult.
From his first impressions, he believed he was not in any danger at the moment, as only worried gazes were evident from those around him, so he decided to see what the Goddess meant as his soul got accustomed to his new body.
Nathan focused for a moment as he willed the system to appear, blue strings interplayed before him as it meshed together to form a holographic screen.

'What the actual fuck?'
As Nathan was lost in his reveries, a nearby physician approached him with a small torch in his right hand and inspected his eyes.
...
"So, what's going on? Why isn't he responsive?" asked the most authoritative person in the kingdom, Queen Amelia.
The doctor, not wanting to displease the domineering queen, due to her short temper, was momentarily at a loss for words...
Especially after finding out the crown prince's condition.
He started to sweat profusely...
"..."
"Don't make me ask again, Norris," the queen emphasized as the room temperature rapidly dropped, an aspect of her blessing, showcasing her ongoing displeasure with the royal physician.
"A- am the crown prince's injuries have all healed, and-and he has awakened, but it seems that he is currently interacting with the system's inter-," Before he could finish his sentence, all the nearby windows shattered, with maids, physicians and guards alike getting away from Tsunami's side as fast as they could.

Meanwhile...
Nathan kept staring at the screen in front of him, now completely oblivious to the happenings of his surroundings.
This was partly due to his untrained senses, which couldn't process the system's interface and the real world's environment simultaneously, causing him to access sensory information from only one dimension.
'And here I thought the Goddess would grant me a system with good stats.'
'Most of them are at zero, even my potential is zero... for fucks sake!'
'Ah!... Telling her all my secrets was useless, no special treatment at all.'
'Who, for fucks sake, names their child Tsunami?'
'Damn it!'
...
'By the way, where is Aiko?' Just as he was thinking of her, he felt his soul being pulled somewhere out of his body.
The next moment, he found himself in a foreign house... No, it wasn't justice to call it a house but a gigantic mansion.
DING!
[Host, welcome to your shared Sea of Subconsciousness]
'Eh! What is this sea of subconsciousness? Nathan asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Truth be told, this was the most luxurious house he had ever set foot in. It had a boxy, futuristic design, tall ceilings, marble flooring, exquisite lighting, and even the doors were massive, some as high as 12ft in height.
It resembled those mansions that were listed over $ 100 million in his previous life.
[Host, the sea of subconsciousness, is a place located inside a favourite's body, which acts as a storage place for their essence and artifacts.]
[Also, there are some Favourites that have been recorded to be able to use them as training grounds, as their sea of subconscious can store creatures they once killed and practise with them in such spaces.]
[But this is not common, as only those fated and talented have such luck]
At the moment, Nathan was too excited to listen carefully to the descriptions; Something that would have saved him a lot of future worries if he were keener on details.
Nevertheless, he kept opening one door after another, looking inside, checking their washrooms, switching the lights on and off, as for some reason, the mansion seemed dark, as if it was nighttime.
When he opened the door to one of the master bedrooms and switched on the lights, the sight that welcomed him was one he will never forget.
'Damn!'
A naked, voluptuous woman was sleeping on the bed. Her ass was the largest, beautiful, and well-proportioned piece of art he had seen to date.
She had long silver hair flowing down her back, porcelain skin, and seemed to be a terrible sleeper... she kept changing poses one after another.
Perhaps she was uncomfortable, maybe something was going on with her, but this became a feast for Nathan's eyes as he approached the bed.
Standing by the bedside, Nathan finally saw Aiko's lower lips, from her slightly outstretched legs, and something inside him stirred wildly as his rod hardened so much that it tore through his royal pajamas.
Krrsshh!
Surprised by the cloth-tearing sound, he looked down and was astonished by the hard rock monster.
"..."
'Eh! This is new.'
He held it in his right hand, trying to compare it with his previous shaft.
'It's a little bit bigger, and has more girth, but not too much, ' he nodded silently to himself.
When he was back in Earthiania, he had constantly been measuring his rod since puberty... and every year or two during his 20s, he would go back to see if there was any improvement.
In fact, there was no need for all this, perhaps; it was to boost his self-confidence that he was a man, as he never really slept with a woman other than getting several blowjobs from them.
All thanks to the few bold women who dared in their r18 truth or dare games.
...
His previous rod was 7 inches long, and the new one, somewhere over 8 inches, according to his rough estimations.
But something else caught his attention and concern.
'This is just too hard.'
'It might be dangerous for my health'
In his life, this was the first time a pajama was pierced and left in ruin by his member... then he remembered something and willed his system once again and went straight to one of his attributes, [Iron rod].
***
[Iron rod]: This rod was once trained to a divine level in ancient times. It conquered planets, roamed the galaxies, and won one evaluation after another. It makes the bearer's rod 10x stronger compared to an average favourite and aids the bearer to last longer. Still, it puts the receiver in a dreamlike state during a dual cultivation session and increases the potency of blessing transfer. The Iron Rod has its cultivation requirements. If met, it can evolve from iron to steel to carbon to diamond, then finally Golden rod. Used with skill, it can move the gods, while without proper training, all it shall do is leave behind carnage.
"..."
Speechless, Nathan kept pondering just how serious this carnage and the gods being moved thing was.
As he was pondering on the Iron rod, he had this funny feeling that he was starting to feel dangerously cold, and after finding Aiko, he was somehow at peace and remembered that some people were waiting for him out there.
'Perhaps I have wasted too much time. I initially wanted to get a quick glance at the system, but this mansion might have gotten me carried away.'
Since Aiko was on top of the blanket, Nathan reached for the corners and covered her body, while avoiding unnecessary contact.
He might be a man filled with wild imagination and young hot blood.
But to him, imagination was always meant to be free.
In real life, he was principled and respected boundaries.
