Chapter Title: God's Atlantis
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We had returned to the Atlantis world.
After heading back to reality to settle my Playful Life app points and raise my Shooting trait to level 9, I still felt uneasy.
Artemis was the goddess of archery. She was a goddess for a reason.
I summoned a water bottle into my hand. Artemis glanced over and furrowed her brow.
"What is that?"
I had figured she wouldn't pay it any mind, but surprisingly, she asked right away. That meant she was wary of me.
"Water mixed with Yeti powder."
"Yeti powder?"
"A mystical powder that sharpens your senses. You wouldn't call it cheating just because I drink this, right?"
"You think heightened senses will let you beat me? How foolish."
Artemis spoke arrogantly. She seemed to have already forgotten about the running race we'd had—or maybe she just didn't want to remember.
'She has absolute confidence in her archery. I can't wait to see her smug face crumble.'
Whether I used items with special powers, got help from my contracted divinity, or doped up with drugs—it wasn't cheating. It all counted as my ability. If I weren't capable, I wouldn't have special items or contracts with divinities in the first place.
Besides, nitpicking every little thing like that would damage a god's dignity. Born superior to humans and living eons beyond them, their pride was beyond imagination.
Gulp, gulp.
I drank the water mixed with Yeti powder. My senses sharpened even further. I could feel the distant breeze more clearly now.
Afterward, Artemis and I took our positions—spots minimally affected by the wind.
As I gripped my bow, an alert window appeared.
Artemis drew her bowstring, and an arrow materialized automatically on it. Just pulling the bow created one. She had the time advantage.
I drew mine too. My arrow appeared 1-2 seconds later than hers. This arrow was a clone of Stormbreaker.
I channeled mana into it, hoping for more speed and accuracy. Crackle. Lightning flickered along the shaft. Astrafe (B) worked on arrows too.
Unlike my flashy arrow, hers glowed softly like moonlight.
I stared at the target that appeared in midair. A 10m target. The key was hitting dead center for 10 points.
Artemis and I released our strings simultaneously. The arrows flew. Maybe because of the Astrafe? Mine was a bit faster.
I glanced over. Her lips trembled slightly.
I hit the first target first, but she shot her second arrow faster. Unlike me, who had to concentrate to make clone arrows, hers appeared automatically when she drew.
The gap was widening. She was faster. Impatience crept in at the thought that I might lose this contest.
...No. It's still early. The real test is later. That's when even Artemis will hit her limit.
Her stats matched mine exactly. I couldn't forget that.
And purely in terms of arrow speed, mine was faster. The farther the target, the more it favored me.
We cleared up to the 20th target without issue.
Artemis hit her 22nd. She bit her lip hard, forcing more mana into her arrow to boost its speed.
I could sense her tiring. The impatience I'd felt early on was now hers. I understood. As the goddess of the hunt, the pressure must be immense—more than I imagined.
Now I needed more focus. Even strength couldn't ignore the wind anymore. But I could instinctively sense it—probably thanks to my Shooting trait.
Crackle-crackle!
'A bit more... put a little more power into it. That way it'll fly farther.'
An unexpected achievement. With Astrafe's rank up, I felt much more at ease. The power in my arrows grew stronger too.
I released the string.
The lightning-streaked arrow flew straight and faster than before.
???
"No...!"
Artemis's anguished cry reached my ears.
She'd messed up on the 29th target. Her arrow grazed the edge for 8 points instead of center.
We nocked arrows together. Her mistake wasn't fatal. This was a speed run—the first to hit all thirty got bonus points. 10 points enough to cover her slip.
But that error would've shaken her mentally plenty.
We heightened our focus, channeling mana to maximize our vision. Unlike the early shots, preparation was key for 15km targets.
Heh. Good thing I have the perfect skill for this. Moment.
The world slowed.
In the slowed world, I adjusted my aim and fired. Rumble! The arrow shot forth with thunder.
Artemis fired a beat later. Her moonlit arrow traced a soft glowing path.
She sensed defeat already but watched with faint hope. No miracle came.
"Yes! Woo-hoo!"
I whooped with joy, hopping in place. I didn't hide my thrill of victory. Partly to taunt her too—shaking her now would give me the edge next round.
"......"
But despite my efforts, Artemis didn't react. Frozen like a statue, she stared blankly where the target had been. The shock of defeat hit her harder than I'd thought.
Well, yeah. The goddess of archery lost to a human like me. Heh.
Defeated in her strongest domain. If I were her, I'd lose my mind.
"Heh heh heh. Time for the spoils!"
I approached the nymph tied up with rope behind her. The bright blonde nymph trembled. She couldn't flee—the system wouldn't allow it. I'd won fair and square, so claiming her was justified.
"A-aaah!"
I tore her clothes and buried my face in her heaving, ample breasts. They were soft, her scent sweet. After indulging for a while, I pulled out my cock and thrust into her pussy.
"Nngh! Lady Artemis!!"
The nymph grimaced and called out. Artemis, who'd been dazed, finally reacted, turning to look. Her face twisted. But she couldn't do a thing.
Thud! Thud! Smack!
I rocked my hips, savoring her pussy.
"Haaaah! Lady Artemis...! S-save me! Aaaah!"
But Artemis could do nothing.
A bit later, the nymph's screams turned to wet moans.
"Ahng, ang! N-no...! Haaang!"
Artemis clenched her fists, trembling with rage.
???
I proposed the third contest.
"How about fishing? Rules follow the last fishing tournament... Score points per catch. One hour limit. Higher score wins. The goddess of the hunt wouldn't hate fishing, right?"
"...I accept. But no interfering with the opponent."
I stared at Artemis. She met my gaze steadily, as if to say what?
Even knowing her servant had just been fucked, she stayed calm and cold. No clue what had changed in her mindset.
System power teleported us from the mountaintop to the riverbank.
We picked up our rods.
Mine was Stormbreaker, which could transform into a fishing rod. No risk of line snapping. Hook was Temptation Hook, of course.
Hers glowed with soft moonlight—not ordinary, so I stayed wary. But I'd win anyway.
We found spots. I was under a big tree's shade; she was 5m away.
Splash.
The bobber sank into the river.
Less than a minute in, a bite—for both of us. We reeled simultaneously. I got an arm-thick crucian carp; she got a similar-sized crayfish.
Equalized stats mean equal Luck too. Straight fishing might lose it for me.
Probably lower score for me. Crayfish seemed rarer.
She pulled ahead, but I wasn't worried. I had Temptation Hook.
Activating its effect, the bobber jerked hard. Reeled in—a chicken.
"Tch."
Artemis glared at my Water Chicken with frustration before refocusing.
The hour passed without incident.
No upsets.
Fishing contest winner: me.
The system announced the winner flatly. I grinned wide.
"Heh heh heh heh!"
"......"
Artemis showed no reaction. Not even anger.
I fucked the nymph right in front of her.
"My cherished purity...! Lost to this in front of Lady Artemis...!"
"......"
Artemis stayed silent.
I realized it. To her, the contests mattered more than her servants' purity now. Losing three straight to a human had already crushed her authority. And nymphs were just incarnations, not her true self.
"Artemis. Look at your servant slut's pussy. Soaked through. Squeezes my dick so good... Wasting that on a purity vow is such a shame, don't you think?"
"Don't insult my servant!"
"Can't wait to fuck you for real."
"Shut your filthy mouth. You won't win again."
I fucked the nymph for an hour, then headed into the fourth contest.
