"P-Papa?"
Jormungandr back then felt shocked, his little granddaughter thought he was her father…
He couldn't really tell her "your father died" at such a young age, it would hurt her feelings.
Despite being a massive snake, he was very gentle with his family, breaking her young and innocent heart would had broken his own a thousand more tis.
"Pap…"
The little snake Yiksukesh, who had grown up to a ter in two years, but had yet to find a way to beco a humanoid shape, began to speak.
Her big and cute eyes looked at her grandfather while shining brightly, she was way too cute.
"Hm, I am your papa." Said Jormungandr, as he sighing.
Yiksukesh recalled such mories as she held the pendant tightly with her hand.
"Even if I already know your my grandfather, I still consider you my father." She sighed.
Jormungandr back then was devastated by the lost of his daughter, and had asked Hel several tis why she didn't wanted to let him revive his daughter, it was totally possible with her powers, yet his arrogant sister didn't wanted to…
"Why? I am your brother… D-Didn't you love little Eraksh?" he asked while in tears.
"I loved her as my daughter, but you have to understand that its pretty hard to revive people…" said Hel.
"Bullshit! Sister, why are you being like this with your own family?!" he had asked.
"Lower your sharp tongue, snake! I am only explaining things to you so you can understand. I could perfectly just ignore you! While you were going around having thousands of descendants, I've been managing this entire thing this whole ti, do you know how hard and frustrating it is to maintain the Death Elent?! And even more how each damn Supre look down on …!" muttered Hel.
"S-Sister… but…" muttered Jormungandr.
"Of course you can't understand. Have you even gone through hardships at all, brother? You and the dog only go around yapping, sliding, and reproducing like wild animals… Well, aren't you anyways? Just have another child then! Problem solved." She said, waving her hand and cruelly sending her brother off.
"Sister… You were not like this before." Said Jormungandr.
"Well? People change!" said Hel.
"…"
Jormungandr was left rather destroyed by the rudeness of his own sister, the one he had raised and loved since the mont they were born…
Without any hope left, he ended deciding to raise his daughter's youngest daughter, Yiksukesh.
At first, it was mostly to fill his own void, but after a while, after years, he grew more and more fond to his little treasure.
While most of his family neglected him and so didn't even knew about their own origins, deciding to live like wild animals engulfing things until they died of old age, Yiksukesh grew more and more intelligent, like him and his first daughter.
"Papa… Hungry… Rat?"
The four-year-old Yiksukesh asked for rat for dinner once more.
"Rat again? But little Yiksukesh, why don't you eat so better food? How about this delicious beef?" sighed Jormungandr.
"Rat!" said Yiksukesh.
"Rat it is…" he sighed.
Each ti, he accompanied his little granddaughter to the nearby black forest, and let her slide around playfully, as she caught little Demon Rats, a low-ranked mortal-realm monster who were often just Level 1.
Thanks to the accursed System, she slowly grew stronger faster than he ever did before, leveling up and acquiring skills was very fun to her little and innocent mind, so she liked hunting down monsters.
And then, one day…
Ding!
[Your Level has raised to Level 10!]
[You can now evolve]
"Evor…ve!"
FLASH!
Yiksukesh suddenly evolved out of what Jormungandr had expected, and she ended maturing quickly, evolution helped monsters mature incredibly fast, at the age of four she was already five ter long and was a rather big girl now.
"Big!" she had said.
"Y-You evolved so soon! T-This damn System… Why does it force children to mature so fast…" sighed Jormungandr.
"Big bad?" she asked while sad. She had expected to surprise her papa for having grown big.
"N-No… I am very proud of you…" said Jormungandr, as he petted and kissed his snake granddaughter.
Yiksukesh smiled faintly while rembering those mories, they were faint and sotis unprecise, but she held them within her heart nonetheless…
After so more ti, she grew older and older, until reaching ten, evolving a few couple of tis finally allowed her to take her humanoid form, a little, baby girl showed up in front of Jormungandr and he was even more captivated.
"Papa I'm like you now!" she said.
"Haha… Well, you were already like . Want to see my true form? Don't get scared of , okay?" he sighed.
"Okay!"
Jormungandr flew far away from Yiksukesh and then…
BOOOM!!!
A massive snake erged.
He was so incredibly big he covered a large quantity of the landscape.
He was several kiloters long.
His entire head was the size of several mountains…
He was truly the World's Snake.
"Uwaaaah! Big! So big!!! Very big papa!" said Yiksukesh, as she went into her snake form to be like her papa. She was only 15 ters long compared to her papa that was several kiloters.
"Co, how about we go on a ride? The Realm is very big. Let's give it a round." Said her papa, as Yiksukesh excitedly jumped over his snout, and traveled above Jormungandr's head. This was her first ti traveling away from the palace and the nearby forest.
She t all the dark atmosphere of Helheim, all its wonders, the massive clouds of souls, the necrotic liquid rivers, the many gigantic undead beasts that road around, and more…
"So big! Big world!" she said.
"Hmm… Indeed, and there's sothing even bigger beyond the skies… Yiksukesh, there are many Realms like this outside, in the Astral Road…" said Jormungandr.
"Wow…! I wanna go there one day! I wanna explore!" she had said cutely.
"Of course, whenever you grow big and strong, you can explore the world all you want." Her grandfather had said once…
"Sigh… I should had waited a bit more until I beca a Goddess…" sighed Yiksukesh.
