It was fucking insane. I mean, I just couldn’t really put my damn head into it! This was beyond words and everything else.

I really thought I would get some words from them and then we would be done with it!

But I simply had no actual idea they had prepared this entire “coronation ritual” or whatever.

I felt so proud and happy too that I reached this point.

But also so embarrassed I could die…

Ding!

[Heavenly Princess of Boundless Love]

A Title acquired by the one and only Heavenly Princess of Boundless Love of the Murim World of Bestia, crowned by the Heavenly Venerables and the remaining Will of Heaven and the Will of the World itself.

You’ve been given the title of a Venerable, becoming the third Venerable of the World of Bestia and also becoming part of the Venerable Alliance by default, which connects all Venerables across the Murim Worldlines.

As a Venerable, you’ve opened your own Path, the Path of Love, a path that combines both the Path of the Righteous with the Path of the Demon, yet it’s none of them. You can now, within the World of Bestia, the Murim Worldlines, and a proper Domain, control the Pillars of Heaven and Earth through your own Path.

Effects: +10.000 CHM. All Martial Arts Power and Effects +200%, and Ki Cost -30%. Ki Regeneration Speed +300%. Permanent {Murim Worldline Venerable} Status that grants access to several hidden perks. Grants access to the {Path of Boundless Love} Ability.

{Path of Boundless Love}: Those that follow your Path will gain greater enlightenment regarding the Martial Arts they practice, the Heavenly Dao, and also enhance the growth of their own {Dao Foundation}. You can unleash your {Boundless Love Venerable Authority} which will grow more powerful the more people you influence and change with your Path.

An interesting Title! So there are several hidden perks to being a Venerable, I had no freaking idea. And there’s even some sort of Venerable Alliance that connects Venerables from various worlds! That’s perhaps even crazier.

The Ability itself seems rather cryptic, as it doesn’t really tell how to influence people other than by what I can imagine would be simply inspiring them? Maybe… or perhaps accepting others as disciples.

And that Authority, it says it’ll grow stronger, but it doesn’t even say what it can do either… I’ll have to discover these things myself, I guess.

[Love (Epic Grade)]

An Epic Grade Trait, born from your Story drastically shifting and transforming through the power of your Love towards people and the worlds you’ve visited.

You’re Love, you embrace and help; you care for those you love, and you will protect them no matter what.

Your Love goes far and wide; it can make you do anything for it. For those you love, you would move mountains, and for the worlds you love, you would slay Constellations.

You have the natural ability to control, rule, and command over Love, both the Love you feel and the Love of others to an extent, limited by the difference in power.

Those you Love will naturally become stronger the more they are with you; they will grow and develop their abilities faster, and they will awaken new powers, talents, and skills by being Loved and Loving you.

Similarly, you will also grow stronger the more others walk the Path of Love alongside you or are inspired by you.

However, this Love is also madness, and it will make you do the unthinkable to save the worlds you love and the people you love, even if it means giving your own life.

To unlock more Abilities, strengthen your {Dao Foundation}.

Oh wow, okay then.

This is indeed the Trait of all time.

The power over Love?!

Wait, does that mean I can do freaky shit like controlling people’s emotions of love and make them love me?

Wow, that’s disgusting; I’m not using that!

No way…

Ugh.

The other things are fine, I guess, but I’m also not going to kill myself or sacrifice myself; that’s a terrible trope, and I would rather die than—No, wait a second.

Anyways, I’m not doing any of that; fuck this Trait.

But yeah, this power is more like that of a villain, no? I don’t really want to manipulate people through love; this is a bit weird.

…

No, using my Charm to make people be nicer sometimes doesn’t count!

Also, it doesn’t count when I do it with my brother either!

Nor with my friends… sometimes!

…

Let’s just concentrate on the present for now.

These two gifts, though, are fine, I suppose.

They’re still very mysterious, and I don’t have any idea what they can do for me completely.

But I’ll have to try out in the field once we get to the battle itself, I guess.

“Anna? How are you feeling?” my mother asked.

“You look tired. I guess this was too surprising… kahaha!” My father laughed.

We descended from the skies after the entire ceremony was over; the sudden change in clothes and everything disappeared, and so did the strange pink crown with hearts.

However, it seemed, and it felt like I could call them back; it was like a manifestation of what I was, a Venerable.

Insane.

They’re just visuals, and I think I could even wish for them to not even appear.

But they’re technically the embodiment of my Authority as a Venerable, interestingly enough.

“Uh, yeah, I felt a bit dizzy; the coronation ceremony caught me really off-guard; I truly thought I was going to get a heart attack right there,” I laughed.

“Ah, calm down, it’s okay,” said Mother. “It was something we thought was needed, as you had reached all qualifications too.”

“We thought that, as the final battle approached, we had to give you this final gift, as we were unable to teach you anymore,” said Father. “And well, a third Venerable would really make maintaining the world easier, kahahaha! With this I can laze around more later.”

“Seriously, I knew it was for something like this, you damn crow!” I complained. “Haaah… Well, whatever. If I can help maintain this world even when I’m finally gone, then I’ll be happy with that.”

“As a Venerable, you may develop a connection to this world as you grow stronger… Perhaps in the future, you will be able to come back through this connection, strengthening alongside the growth of your own body and soul,” explained the heavenly empress.

“Ah, yeah, that’s right,” the crow said. “We did it for that too as well, see? I am very benevolent; I have had a change of heart!”

“I still believe you put into consideration your personal gain from this, old demon…” I sighed. “But whatever, it’s not like I disliked this. If anything, I’m honored. Thank you for giving me the privilege of becoming one of your peers.”

“Peers? Hardly, you’re still a child to me,” said the crow, smirking. “But maybe one day you’ll-”

BAAM!

Mother hit his head with her fan.

“Hey, stop acting all tough when you’re just as moved as I am; just be happy for once,” she sighed.

“Ouch! Did you have to do that?! Argh… right in the damn head…” he groaned.

“Hahaha, it’s fine; I am used to him being like that,” I explained. “He was even worse when I was training only with him.”

“Even worse…?” mother muttered. “Hahh… You truly have an incredible level of patience, Anna. Most people would snap after training with such an irritating man… sometimes. Well, despite his flaws, he still has a good heart, I believe.”

“That’s like an insult when I’m the literal Heavenly Demon, you know?” he wondered. “But I’ll take it as a compliment, nonetheless.”

“Well, we must do the last preparations for the battle to come… I doubt we can waste much time; a day or two is all we have left,” said the Heavenly Empress. “Anna, in this time I ask you to fully prepare; the plan we’ve created requires you to be in your top condition.”

“I know,” I nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you… And I’m kind of tired, so I’ll go back to my room for now.”

“That’s fine, go ahead, dear,” she said. “Rest and take it easy for now.”

“Okay!” I nodded, running upstairs.

Once back in my room, I quickly decided to see my inventory and status, checking what items I could use now.
