Chapter 62: Zion
Max's eyes flashed with a golden light obscuring his vision. He couldn't see or sense anything, left at the teleportation's rcy.
In a few seconds, he appeared in a much different world.
"Welco to the Zion, Max Ei, The Twelfth," A llifluous voice called Max's na, drawing his attention.
And as Max turned around, he saw a woman in tunic clothes, reminding him of the old greek ventures. Her shoulder was exposed, her perfect chest tightly held by her dress. Her long legs were also revealed, for she wore relatively short clothes.
She had mysterious and otherworldly charm, even more than Zamira and Alice. Her skin was milky, her eyes golden, and her long blond hair cascaded down to her ass. Many of her streaks also slipped into her cleavage, running down her chest.
She stood with her hands joined around her stomach, her back straight with a business-like mood swirling around her.
Max smiled, not blinking, for he had a gorgeous beauty before himself, "Nice to et you, beautiful. It's not fair that you know my na while I can only guess yours.
In my world, the goddess of beauty was known as Aphrodite.
Is that your na, beautiful?" Max asked while smiling, keeping the most important points, such as smile and eye contact, to exert a good image.
The blond-haired woman chuckled, her tone less formal, sounding much sweeter than before, "I don't know any Aphrodite."
"You want to keep guessing?" Max replied, the shrinking distance a little bit. He inferred that she knew his na because of his new status. Without that Fate Star title, he probably would've received an invitation to Zion much later.
Or perhaps, the Zion was a place where Fate Stars gathered!
Max didn't give it too much thought. For now, he locked his eyes on the beautiful golden jewels, wanting the lady's attention the most.
"I better introduce myself before The Twelfth eats with his wolfish eyes," the lady jested, her words stopping Max, "I'm Faith, your guide in the Zion."
Max nodded, fixing his clothes to distract Faith's eyes, "Since you will not slip away from , I will focus on your job now.
As my guide, I reckon you will explain this place and its purpose. Why not the system, though?" Max asked.
"If you want to disappear, I can leave an explanation to the system. It naturally can be your guide as well," Faith whispered, her eyes shining as she already grasped Max's character.
She imagined him going nervous.
But to her surprise, he smiled with composure, replying with confidence, "You don't want to disappear, do you?"
"Do I? Where does the confidence co from?" Faith questioned herself before asking Max, who didn't reply to her words, leaving her hanging without any answer.
And with that action alone, he set up bait in her heart. That bait would remind her of him from ti to ti.
Had Max read so flirtation guides on the popular search engine?
"Let's have a proper talk then," Max returned to the topic, his words turning Faith serious as she recalled her job.
"Look below us, The Twelfth," Faith whispered, her eyes going down.
Max followed her bright hues, soon finding himself on a glass floor. He could swear that it had been a normal floor before. Yet, he didn't think too much of it, for the content behind the glass left him in a daze.
It was a city with different races coexisting with each other. They moved in their true or humanoid forms, not minding each other's presence. No one was ugly either, looking handso or beautiful.
The city's design was also superb. It had a perfect balance that even evil people would find themselves at ho or at ease, not bothered by even a file on the ground. The nature was vivid, the streets overly clean, and people treading with respect.
Of course, Max didn't let himself get hypnotized by the outward appearance. He didn't believe in a place where everyone could co-exist with each other like that.
He was sure that all those people hid many emotions and thoughts behind their faint smiles.
Faith had been scrutinizing Max intensely, be it his heart rate and reactions. From a brief look and her forr impression of him, Faith inferred that Max wouldn't be one of those Fate Stars that lost their luster relatively early.
She parted her rosy lips, explaining the view from below them, "Zion is a place where the existences with exquisite bloodline gather. In the current setting, The Fate Stars, The Primordials, and clans from The Tower's Fifty and above floors can enter this world.
People from normal worlds occasionally will find themselves invited, too. But their invitation usually ends up one ti only.
Everything here is governed by the universe's rules; even the system has scouted and taught .
And in this world, the highest existences host their businesses. As the new fate star, you have been given as your guide and a permanent spot to start your business," Faith bowed before adding, "I'd like to beco your worker here."
Faith kept a close eye on Max from the first impression to now. In fact, she was fortunate to beco a guide of the newest Fate Star. Max was lucky not to get a man as his guide.
Nonetheless, Faith had two options. Continue her job as a worker in the Zion or beco associated with the Fate Star.
She had been doing forr for too many years, so Faith wanted to start sothing new. It was also exciting, and it wasn't like she wouldn't be able to return to her forr occupation.
Max smirked, "You already don't want to leave my side, huh…"
"Well… I'm not fond of pretty boys. And your confidence is charming," Faith awkwardly replied since she was a thousand years old virgin.
Max chuckled, retracting his eyes to the Zion, "Business…" He saw many kinds of business down below.
He saw smiths, shops, and even dojos. It was like Zion was the highest quality world where everyone got the most wealthy clients.
Max thought for a while before asking, "Is there any hot springs business?"
"Eh?" Faith blinked adorably, opening her system, "There isn't any hot springs business…"
"So hot springs business," Max laughed, grinning as he had already ford so plans for his new business.
Faith also didn't know what she walked into!
