With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan looked at this glowing finger for a bit, but he still kneeled down in front of that finger.

The affection was there, so this goddess shouldn’t be doing anything harmful to him.

He was even looking forward to seeing what kind of reward a goddess would give him.

It was a goddess after all, she wouldn’t be that stingy with the reward she gave him after he returned her artifact to her.

Once Lin Fan was kneeling in front of her, Aphrodite brought her finger down to tap him on his forehead before pulling her hand back.

As soon as she tapped her finger on his forehead, Lin Fan felt the jolt of energy run down from him. It was like a bolt of lightning suddenly running through his body.

However, he didn’t have time to care about this as he saw the notification that popped up in front of him.

[You have received the skill Loving Is Sharing from Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love.]

Lin Fan couldn’t help being confused by the name of this skill.

Loving Is Sharing?

What was that?

Lin Fan immediately opened up his status to look at the description of this new skill.

Loving Is Sharing (Level 1):

Love is the most wonderful thing in the world and it should be shared. The user of this skill can use the skills of their lovers and can give their lover their skills. The number of skills that can be shared depends on the degree of love between the two targets.

The description of the skill seemed a little bit unclear since it really didn’t define what counted as a lover, but when Lin Fan opened the skill and saw the targets, he couldn’t help being surprised.

It listed every single person that he had affection with.

This was a skill that worked perfectly with his Love Gauge Taming since as long as there was enough affection earned with the Love Gauge Taming skill, they would qualify as a target for this Loving Is Sharing Skill!

As he looked closer, he found that even Aphrodite was included on this list of targets that he could use this skill with!

He was even able to use the skills of a god!

But when he looked more closely, he found that this wasn’t the case. There were skills that were listed and each one of them sounded powerful, but they were all blacked out which showed that they weren’t available.

It was most likely because his affection from her wasn’t high enough yet, so he wasn’t able to get any skills from her.

But that didn’t mean that it wasn’t possible in the future.

After bestowing this skill on him, Aphrodite acted like this place was filled with the worst things possible and immediately made her exit. But before she left, she didn’t forget to say to Lin Fan, “Little boy, I have high hopes for you. If you ever make it to my temple, come and look for me.”

Then without waiting for an answer from Lin Fan, she disappeared just as quickly as she appeared.

Once she was gone, Lin Fan turned to look at Xiao Yue, but it didn’t seem like she had fully recovered just yet.

When he was about to head over, there was a voice that suddenly reminded him that there was still someone else here.

“Cough.”

It was just a simple cough, but Lin Fan immediately remembered that there was the skeleton that was still standing there.

Lin Fan immediately turned around and reached out to his waist for his weapon, but then he remembered that the skeleton had taken his weapon earlier as well.

When the skeleton saw this, it revealed a smile and said, “Now, now, there’s no need for this.”

Lin Fan was taken aback by the gentle tone that the skeleton had, it was completely different from the dangerous tone that it had before. Of course, he didn’t let his guard down just because of this since he still didn’t know what this skeleton wanted.

The skeleton didn’t mind this and raised its sword in both hands, presenting it to Lin Fan as it said, “I want you to take this. This is the sword that accompanied me through my journeys when I was still alive, but now I want to give it to you.” Then after saying this, he turned to Xiao Yue with a sad look and said, “I hope that you’ll be able to keep the one you love safe.”

Lin Fan was even more confused when he saw this, but then he also saw that the skeleton was slowly turning to dust.

He could feel the sincerity in the skeleton’s voice, so he could tell that this wasn’t a trick.

However, as he reached out for the sword, the skeleton suddenly said, “Though, I have to say that I was a bit jealous of you.”

When the skeleton said this, there was a chill that ran down his back, like when it had suddenly attacked him earlier.

Lin Fan immediately pulled his hand back and raised his guard again.

Seeing this, the skeleton gave a chuckle before throwing the sword at Lin Fan. It knew that if it continued like this, it would disappear before Lin Fan took the sword, so it just threw the sword to Lin Fan.

After throwing the sword, the skeleton looked up as he said, “I’m coming now.”

Then without another sound, the skeleton turned into a pile of dust on the ground.

Lin Fan didn’t know how to react to this.

This skeleton was clearly someone who failed Aphrodite’s trial in the past, but he was also the one that had just attacked him…It really gave him mixed feelings.

Still, in the end, he chose to clap his hands together and offer a prayer to this skeleton.

“May you find peace in your next life.”

After that, Lin Fan looked at the sword that he had stabbed into the ground beside him and he was shocked by the stats that popped out.

[Gramr] (Sealed)

Grade: Mythic

A sword that was wielded by a legendary hero. It was famous for being used to slay a dragon.

Attack: 20 (Sealed)

Lin Fan’s eyes almost dropped to the ground when he saw the stats of this sword.

A Mythic Grade weapon?

Even if it was sealed, this was something that was a myth.

As someone who used to be an author, Lin Fan had done his fair share of research into mythology. Based on what he could remember, he remembered that the sword Gramr was the legendary sword of the hero Sigmund that was used to kill the dragon Fafnir.

The description that was attached to this item matched the myth that he remembered, but he also couldn’t help finding it strange.

First Aphrodite and now Gramr…Wasn’t the mythology of this world getting a bit too mixed up?

After all, Aphrodite was one of the Greek gods and Gramr was a famous sword in Norse mythology…And then there were the cultivator sects…

It was like taking the mythology from Earth and throwing it into one big melting pot before pouring out what was created.

Still, after thinking about this for a bit, Lin Fan threw all of this to the back of his mind.

No matter what the mythology of this world was, it didn’t interfere with his one goal. He would still make a harem here regardless of the circumstances since all of that was just too high up for him to get involved in.

Lin Fan went back over to the sword sticking out of the ground and grabbed it by the handle before pulling it out of the ground.

The moment that he pulled it out, he suddenly felt a jolt coming from the sword. It was almost like getting shocked, but it wasn’t strong enough to make him drop the sword.

But the moment that the jolt ran through him, it was almost as if there was a connection that had been made between them.

[Gramr has accepted you as a new master. Affection has increased by 10.]

Once again, Lin Fan’s mouth dropped open when he saw this.

He wasn’t surprised by the fact that there was a will in the sword since most artifacts were like this, or at least they were in the novels that he read.

He was more surprised that Gramr was also a target for his Love Gauge Taming skill.

Lin Fan held the sword in front of his face and tapped it a few times before asking, “Hello, are you there?”

But all that met his question was silence.

Lin Fan just awkwardly looked at Gramr for a bit before putting it into his Pet Storage Space. He would have put it at his waist to use, but since he didn’t have a scabbard for it, he couldn’t keep it out.

The scabbard that he did have wasn’t the right size for this sword, so he couldn’t put it in.

After all that, Lin Fan finally came back to Xiao Yue’s side.

After letting out her emotions, while her eyes were a bit red from crying, she looked much more calm.

Lin Fan came down beside her and asked, “Are you alright now?”

Xiao Yue looked up at Lin Fan and nodded with a smile before reaching her arms out.

Lin Fan was taken aback by this since if this was the previous Xiao Yue, she wouldn’t have acted spoiled like this. But he didn’t mind since he wanted her to act this way instead of acting strong like before.

So Lin Fan turned around and let her put her arms around his neck before lifting her up to give her a piggyback ride.
