Cheat Awakening

Seizing the opportunity, Myne quickly regains his composure and throws on a pitiful act. "Fenrir, you're even more stingy than my bastard father-in-law! There's literally an entire ocean's worth of magic water under your cave, yet you scold me for taking a little bit? I never expected this from you. I'm so disappointed."

"Humph," Fenrir scoffed and spoke with a voice full of disgust. "If you truly believe that I have the power to hold this amount of magic water in my hand by myself, then you're simply overestimating my capabilities. I can indeed use a small portion of it, the one you see in our cave, but that's all. The rest has nothing to do with me. I'm merely a guardian, acting under the orders of its true owner.

You could say I manage it. Several races reside in this mysterious ocean, working for the real owner. My job is to ensure they work diligently and avoid causing trouble."

"Beyond that, it has nothing to do with me. Believe me, you should stay away from it as well. The owner of this place does not have a good temper. If I allow you to take a large amount of water, they'll definitely sense it, and then I might not be able to save you. Be honest and control your greed, otherwise, someone else might become greedy for your life."

Fenrir sighed helplessly with a voice full of regret, as she quickly avoided getting sandwiched between two colossal tornadoes. "It would have been nice if your parents had entrusted you to my care as a child. I could have raised you well, like my own children. This never-ending greed of yours will surely lead you to a situation you can't escape, where no one can save you."

"Ohohoh, this time you are wrong my dear Fenrir," Myne countered with a boastful laugh, "Half an hour ago, I acquired such wondrous skill that no matter how dangerous the situation I am caught in, I have a way to get out of it. However before I can use that skill, I need to do some preparation. By the way, after a year later, you can even call me immortal Myne, hahaha!"

Myne's laughter sounded like an arrogant third-rate village fool to Fenrir, who angrily rolled her eyes. She thought he was joking again and didn't take his words seriously. If she knew he was contemplating having a few secret children, so he could use them in emergencies to avoid death, she surely would have stopped right then and started beating him crazilly.

"Don't be too overconfident in your skills, Myne. You're relying on them too heavily. There are hundreds of ways to restrict you from using your so-called almighty skills. After spending a few months with that demon, full of desperation and powerlessness, I thought you might have learned this lesson, but I was wrong. You still need much more beating."

"Your skills are both your power and weakness because you gained them too easily. You haven't put in the effort to earn them, which leads you to believe you can do anything you want, as long as you have enough skills. But in reality, you know nothing about their true essence. You couldn't answer if I asked you to explain the principle behind even one of your skills.

They're no different to you than an object bought from the market. You can only use them, but have no idea how they're made or the core principle behind them," Fenrir said calmly, swimming towards the top of the biggest tornado, completely silencing Myne, who wanted to refute her accusations midway.

"Hold on tight!" Fenrir didn't care if she hurt Myne's feelings with her heartless words. From her perspective, it was better to be slapped by reality before than to lose his life later due to carelessness.

Confused, Myne didn't understand Fenrir's meaning of "hold on tight" until he felt as if he were falling from the sky like a meteorite. He couldn't even open his eyes because the water was hitting his face with such force that it was leaving slight wounds on his fragile body. But even so, he still vaguely understood what was going on. Fenrir had actually jumped down into the eye of the tornado.

"Fenrir, you're crazy!" Myne's curse only worsened Fenrir's mood. Laughing heartily, she increased her speed even more before smashing directly into the eye of the tornado like a shooting star.

...

"Are we dead?" Myne while speaking slowly opened his eyes and looked around. However, he saw nothing but pitch-black darkness, so thick he couldn't even see his own hands. The feeling of water touching his body remained, though, which meant they were still submerged, just in a very hidden location.

"Not yet..."

"HALT!!!"

"INTRUDERS! IDENTIFY YOURSELVES!"

Fenrir had hardly spoken when suddenly a loud, thunderous boom resonated in Myne's head. It was so deafening that his ears started bleeding. Unfortunately, due to the darkness, he couldn't see which bastard screaming in his head.

Fenrir sighed helplessly, shaking her head and looking down. "It's just me, Fenrir, Levi. Also, is it really necessary to say that every time I come here? It's not like you can't see me, right?"

Hearing Fenrir's natural voice, Myne understood that only he couldn't see in this lightless place. This wasn't a problem for her.

"Hahaha, sorry, Sis Fenrir, but duty is duty!" A sweet playful voice echoed. "And I'm so bored here, there's nothing to do except count fish. So every time you come here, I have to get some entertainment from you! Oh, and who is the handsome one with you? It's the first time you've brought someone here and that too behind your back!

This is quite a wonderful surprise, as far as I remember, this level of honour hasn't been bestowed upon anyone until now, right? Is this guy someone special to you?"

Myne felt a slight flicker of pride hearing the voice acknowledge him as handsome and knowing he held such a special place in Fenrir's heart. He was also the first person to ever ride on Fenrir's back, but he kept his emotions hidden, so as not to make Fenrir more annoying. Now that Fenrir revealed her identity, the booming voice softened into a sweet, little girl's voice.

It was very pleasant to hear, at least Myne enjoyed it a lot, even though he still couldn't see anything.

"He's just a troublemaker who got stuck in my life like glue, and now I can't get rid of him because my children like him too much. Sigh, anyway, how are you, Levi? Those bastards aren't making trouble for you, right? Also, how is Grandpa Oce? Last time I met him, he looked very depressed," Fenrir asked gently, while Myne was on her back frowning deeply.

He really disliked this feeling of being blind while listening to the sweet conversation between two sisters. The most aggravating part was that one of the sisters called him handsome, and seemed interested in him, yet he couldn't even see her face, let alone try his luck with her.

Finally gathering his courage after seeing them both fall silent, Myne whispered softly, "Hey, Fenrir, can't you do something about this darkness? It's really uncomfortable to stay here. Even a little bit of light would work." He spoke telepathically, meaning his voice was directly transmitted into Fenrir's brain. So there is no point in speaking slowly at all.

"Hehehe, Fenrir, it seems your friend doesn't like the darkness very much. Wait a minute, cutie, I'll make some light for you!"

Myne, who thought he was only speaking with Fenrir, was dumbfounded when the unknown little girl's voice, Levi, echoed in his mind again. He could only rub the back of his head awkwardly, now he was sure that Fenrir would be going to scold him more soon.

"Ah, no need to trouble yourself, I can handle it," Myne hurriedly spoke. But what greeted him was an indifferent scolding from Fenrir.

"Stop talking nonsense in my head. She's already gone, she couldn't hear you."

"Uhm, I messed up everything again, right? By the way, who is she?" Myne, already accepting the fact that he wouldn't see his sweet and caring Fenrir for some time, didn't take her cold words personally and asked curiously.

"Why not ask yourself? I think Levi likes you very much. I believe you two will become good friends. Look, here she is. I know you two would be good partners, hehehe." Fenrir's response was dry, and her laughter sounded like a devil's chuckle to Myne. Even though he was underwater, his forehead had already started sweating.

He knew this new friend of his wasn't a simple character, and if all went well, then he was about to suffer again because of his big mouth.

After swallowing hard, he lowered his head and saw a small pink dot slowly approaching them from the depths of darkness. However, the distance seemed far too great, and even after waiting for five minutes, the pink dot only grew slightly larger.

"Is she alright? Why is she moving so slowly?" Myne couldn't help but ask with some concern, worried that his new friend had met with some accident.

"She might be stuck, it's okay. Just have some patience. You will soon be able to see your new friend..."

BOOM!

While Fenrir was making fun of Myne, suddenly a loud explosion sounded below them, and before they could react they were devoured by countless bubbles. When Myne got rid of those bubbles, he saw bright pink light coming from below them, and thanks to it, he finally was able to see his surroundings, which were no different than before water, as far as his eye could see, there was water.

But when he looked down, his eyes almost popped out from their sockets in shock.
