Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

Chapter 93: Lovers on Distant Floors (2)

"We pay our respects to our mum and dad."

When James said these words with a smiling face, everyone was quite surprised. Even Nyx and Erebus didn't seem to expect this outcome.

Of course, both high gods knew that sooner or later James and Nemesis would want to claim each other, but neither of them thought it would happen on their second day together.

The pair seemed to be trying to gain Nyx and Erebus' approval by addressing them in this way, which was quite clever, after all, it was common knowledge that Nemesis loved James, so if James wasn't against it, approval had to be given.

After a few seconds of silence, Nyx smiled and then said, "Welcome, my precious children. You've been in the shower longer than I expected, who would have thought you'd have to shower together to cement your love."

After these words, it was obvious to everyone that James was embarrassed, unlike Nemesis, he did not expect such jokes to be made, he seemed to have taken the gods very lightly.

After everything that had happened, Moros climbed a few stairs towards his mother's throne and then drew everyone's attention with the sound of a spoon being tapped against a glass.

"Now that the main character of the feast has arrived, we can start the feast in full. We would like to announce that we have named the feast Green Star Rain. Would the main character like to say a few words about the feast itself?"

James gently released Nemesis when he heard Moros' words and then turned to the gods around him, smiling deeply and then speaking:

"From the moment I entered the tower, I encountered many things. When I chose Lady Nyx's card by chance on the first floor, I never thought that my life would change so much. I met many strange people, and one of the strangest of them was Ronald, one of the smartest people I have ever met. It's a pity I don't see him here, it's a bit sad."

James's words made a few people laugh about Ronald.

"I would like to say that the conversations I had with my lady on the next floor, the things others said to me and the mental help you gave me are incalculable. The fact that so many of you thought well of me made me happy enough."

He had a very happy expression on his face when he said these words, and he continued his speech, looking carefully at the Chaos-Born around him:

"I have received hundreds of messages of constant support, especially from Lady Nyx and Master Moros, helping me, worrying about me and telling me that they love me. I cannot repay them, I am truly grateful to all Chaos-Born."

With these words, all Chaos-Borns raised their glasses and saluted James.

"Afterwards, I would like to mention about my friends from Olympus. I may have been rude to you, I may have rejected your ethical considerations, and I may even be seen as disliking you, but I am grateful for your help. I am especially very, very happy for the amount of gold that Poseidon gave me to establish a guild.

Although I could get this money from Nyx, he still did not break me and delivered the money to me through Theseus. What I am trying to say is, dear Olympians, I love you and honour you, even if not all of you."

However, these goblets were raised this time by the gods and goddesses of Olympus.

Finally, James focused on Nemesis and then began to speak deeply:

"I've known the name Nemesis since I was little, of course, I know the names of many gods and goddesses, thanks to the games I played, the books I read, the documentaries I watched, and my mother's mythology mania. Of course, I don't have very advanced knowledge, but I think what I know is enough."

"The first memory I have of the name Nemesis is as follows. I remember my mother reading me an encyclopaedia, she was reading me Nyx, Erebus and their children from the words of Hesiodos. It went just like Moros, Keres, Thanatos, Hypnos, Oneiroi, Momos, Hesperides, Moira and after all these names I heard the name of Nemesis."

"This name seemed different to me, like a name I had been waiting to hear for a long time. I wondered what it was, who it was, I was quite young at the time, if I remember correctly I was 9 or 10 years old, I remember my mum telling me who Nemesis was."

"Oh, it was a beautiful time. [Meet Nemesis, the goddess of justice, revenge and balance, James], my mum said. When I looked at the drawings, I remembered that every day I would open that page of the book again and again, and again I would look at the same drawings of her, I guess I was like that with all the things that interested me."

"She was called the daughter of Night and Darkness, and although she was a respected goddess, it was written all over the encyclopaedia how cruel she was, oh how interesting it was when I was at that age. In Roman times she was the patron saint of gladiators and hunters who fought wild beasts in the arena."

As they listened to his every word, they realised the depth of James' interest in this woman.

"Since that day, apart from Nyx, who has absolute power, my favourite person has been Nemesis herself for literally my whole life. Of course, under no circumstances did I ever think that I would end up with Nemesis, not even a day ago, no matter how much I loved her."

"I was wrong. My love was not unconditional. I express my love to Nemesis, the love of my life, who protected me on the 9th floor, then carried me to the 5th floor, took my revenge for me, and watched me every second of every day before she even knew me."

After these words, James slowly descended the stairs and then proceeded to kiss Nemesis on the lips once more, and then said the following words:

"Maybe if I'd never seen your name I wouldn't even dream of seeing your eyes right now, but fate, Moros, really works strangely, doesn't it? I've had the woman I've had thoughts for most of my life."

Even if James didn't realise it, he had declared his love in big words, the gods were already gossiping, and strangely the two had even acquired the name [Lovers on Distant Floors].

Fate seemed to work strangely. Especially for both of them.
