The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss

Chapter 678: Mikael Part 1

"...Mikael, don’t be so boring!! Come on!! I wanna fuuuck!!" Pandora says, perched on my shoulders with her thighs wrapped around my neck. We’re wandering through the mountains looking for a fight against something interesting. The sound of snow crunching under my feet is only barely louder than Pandora’s chattering.

"Pandora, not now." I just refuse. I’m not in the mood for that right now since I’m busy searching for something to fight. Duels with Pandora are fun and I love them.

But duels with Pandora lack the feeling that I could actually die, since she would never kill me. Plus, the Pandora of now is only a little stronger than I am, so the fights are entertaining, but they don’t fully satisfy me.

"Aaahh!! Seriously? We’ve been wandering for a week now. I don’t know how you have the patience to just walk and walk and walk without finding anything. Your life without me is shit, you know that? Since your life without me was just this — wandering around places like some bum."

"I can’t believe you spent hundreds of years doing this in the past. I really am the best thing that ever happened to your life."

"Pandora, I wasn’t really alone because I had Mesumari, just like you have Violet in your hand." Mesumari hasn’t said a word in almost a year. She seems really sad, especially since Violet is practically right beside her.

It seems Violet found another girl, and now Mesumari, besides being sad and jealous, no longer has any chance of rekindling whatever strange relationship the two of them had.

"Besides, it’s true — you, Pandora, are the best thing that ever happened to me. But you also manage to be the most—"

"Careful with what you’re about to say, Mikael. Don’t forget your trachea is inches away from me, and I’m sitting very close to that fragile little spot." She threatens the moment she realizes I’m about to criticize her.

"..."

"You really are savage. Wouldn’t I end up dead?"

"No, I’m cautious. You wouldn’t die... but you might end up incapacitated. Ah, but don’t worry, love — if you become incapacitated, I’ll take care of you." Pandora says, rubbing her cheek against my head.

But all I get is chills, because I know what that kind of ’care’ would be. I really must never become incapacitated, because Pandora is downright animalistic.

"If I were incapacitated, what would be the fun in taking care of me and using my body like a toy?"

"There’s no fun in it, Mikael, but it’s not supposed to be fun. When we love someone, we do everything for the other. So I’d take care of you with a smile... Now tell me, is this going to take long? I’m extremely bored."

"I don’t know. When I roam the world in search of fights, I never know where I’ll find one. I just find them. I go to the most extreme places and when I find something dangerous, I face it."

"...Wow, what a brilliant plan, Mikael!! Your plan is so genius. I wonder why men live shorter lives? Oh, looks like I have my answer!"

"Pandora, don’t insult my intellect sarcastically as if what I do is something stupid. Fights are the pleasure of my life."

"I’m not the pleasure of your life?" Pandora’s tone in that sentence deeply unsettles me. Although Pandora is a fun woman, this avatar of hers is more possessive than the normal Pandora.

"You’re one of the pleasures of my life, but you’re more like an addiction — one that’s far too consistent and has latched onto me. Metaphorically and literally." Pandora is everywhere I go, at all times. Sometimes clinging to my body in embraces, sometimes far away but always watching.

"Oh, I like that. So you’re addicted to me?"

"..." I didn’t mean it that way, but if I deny it, she’ll get angry, so I stay quiet. I learned quickly that Pandora is always right, and when I am right, it means something went wrong with the first rule and I should fall back to the second rule — which is that Pandora is always right, therefore I was wrong even when I was right.

"Hmmm... Mikael, if you want so badly to find something strong to fight, I can help!! All of us avatars are interconnected since we’re the same being, so I can find monsters for you to fight that will satisfy you."

"Really?" I stop walking and look up directly at Pandora’s face with great interest.

"Yes, yes... but I want sex. You still owe me a baby, love. I want your little seeds taking root inside me so badly."

"...Of course. It was too good to be true."

"Hey, hey, hey! HEY!! HEYYY!!! What the hell kind of thing is that to say? You think it sucks to fuck your wife?" She says, furious.

"No... not exactly. That’s not the problem... it’s just..." She’s insistent. If we start having sex now, now that she no longer has so many responsibilities, she’ll end up going for days to weeks of it. In other words, way too much time stuck in one place just satisfying her.

And, of course, Pandora is NEVER satisfied. The most that ever happens is she decides it’s enough — because if you look at it logically, Pandora could have millennia of sex and never be satisfied.

Obviously, as a man, I like her attitude as a woman. But my dick has a limit, and even if she uses magic to keep me erect continuously, it still gets kind of painful after a while.

It’s like extreme physical exercise, because Pandora grabs me, scratches me, slams my body against nearby things. I slam her body against nearby things too. It’s something really animalistic.

"So what’s the problem, Mikael?... You... have another woman." Pandora leans completely forward, bringing her face right in front of mine. Her eyes are truly disturbing, even to me, and I like her.

"Oh no, maybe?" I provoke her, which makes her expression scrunch into pure disgust.

"I’m just joking. Be serious — you follow me everywhere. If I were having an affair, you would have seen it." Pandora is with me 24 hours a day, every day. The most privacy I get is a distance that varies from 10 to 100 meters.

"Who knows? I don’t know what goes on inside that stupid mind of yours, Mikael! You could be cheating on me with another woman in there, and if you are, I swear you’ll never be able to walk again in your life."

"I haven’t forgotten the fact that you can summon random people for those ’soul’ battles in that strange place!! So if you summoned a woman there, I wouldn’t know!!"

"Okay, it’s disturbing that you’ve reasoned out that the place I use for fights could be used that way. I never thought of that once in my life." I say, indignant at her fake suspicion. She obviously isn’t actually suspicious.

But she also tests me just because she wants to, and because maybe at some point I’ll make some slip-up that she can use as an excuse to punish me.

"...So let’s just fuck now and forget about this."

"No."

"...Tsk." She returns to her position, going quiet with irritated murmurs.
