33 Risen#re - Chapter 339

The best part of all about becoming someone else through this method was that it cost no fate particles at all, it all depended on skill and ability, even a diviner like Efrideet would be completely incapable of doing what Lirian had just done.

It was a skill that only the best of the best amongst great diviners would be able to perform, while anyone with an affinity to fate was free to attempt it, the requirement of control was far too great for anyone who hadn’t achieved mastery of fate.

Bell continued to stare at Lirian, or himself, with that same look of reverence and worship, in fact, it seemed to have elevated after Lirian took on his form, it was like Lirian taking his form was his greatest honor.

“I understand master,” Bell said respectfully, “Once master no longer needs my body I will fulfill my oath and take my life for disappointing master,” he said without batting an eye.

“Good,” Lirian said with a smirk, “You will stay here and never leave the room, unless I allow it,” Lirian said, to which Bell happily nodded.

‘This charm is almost like an ability to compel others,’ Lirian thought but he knew that it wasn’t, the way in which it worked, was different from compulsion.

Compulsion was almost like an absolute, if someone was compelled to do something they would find it impossible to disobey or go against their order.

But the way the charm worked was it influenced the mind of the target into recognising Lirian as the being capable of fulfilling and granting their every desire, it was akin to making them believe that Lirian was a god.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t defy Lirian, but it was rather that they didn’t want to defy Lirian, because defiance to Lirian was the same as defying god or defying their deepest and greatest desires.

When faced with Lirian’s charm all they sought to do was please him.

The more Lirian studied his charm the more he was coming to understand its true effects, and after his experiments in Willcolly, he learned that prolonged exposure to his charm could cause some serious obsession in his targets.

Once he was certain that he had Bell fully under his influence Lirian sealed his charm once more and let the remaining 20% continue to work on Bell.

Once that was done Lirian used his new eyes to look at his new body, he had short brown hair and black eyes, with a good build, he was also fairly good-looking.

As Lirian thought of that he looked through his memories and let out a soft sigh as he looked at Bell, ‘I was looking to be low profile with this identity, but if any of the lords ever learn about this guy’s secrets they won’t hesitate to try and kill me,’ Lirian thought with a sigh.

As it turned out the waiter/bard of the Red Boar was often requested by some of the noble ladies to play the lute for them in private, and as it so happened Bell happened to play a lot more than just the lute on those occasions.

Bell was a young man in his earlies twenties, by the units of time Nebula-6 used Lirian was roughly the same age as Bell, and by the mindset of Bell, Lirian discovered that the reason he learned to play the lute was because he wished to one day play in the great halls of every city.

And most importantly he sought to impress the noble woman who had husbands and children.

Lirian sighed as he understood the kind of man Bell was, he was the type that wished to sleep with every woman and turn every man with power into cuckolds, all things considered, Lirian like the danger that Bell was willing to face for his dreams.

As things stood he had already slept with the wives of many men that could easily kill him with a simple slap.

Surprisingly Lirian found that he had a rather firm will to fulfill his wish, even if he died in the process, ‘It’s a pity for him that he got snared by my charm,’ Lirian thought although he was slightly surprised because he learnt quite a lot about how to court women and get them to invite you into their bed.

Lirian had long forgotten about the last time he actively attempted to court a woman, which happened so many trillions of years ago that he struggled to recall it.

Many of the methods that Bell knew were actually very cheesy, if Lirian ever used such methods in high society, he felt like it was more likely that he would get laughed at or outright shot down, yet in this undeveloped world, it worked surprisingly well.

But there were a few good tricks that Lirian had to admit were pretty slick, that said Lirian had no need to make use of such techniques, between his looks and his charm, even in its suppressed state, it naturally drew the attention of others towards him and made them gravitate towards him.

‘Well this guy isn’t as low profile as I wanted him to be, but I’m not going through the process of becoming someone else again,’ Lirian thought, he could take plenty of pain, but the process was not one he hoped to perform very often.

Lirian moved around and slowly got used to his new body, he was a lot taller now that he became Bell, and his arms were also a little longer than he was used to.

It took a few hours of practice to wash away all the clumsiness and get accustomed to his new physique, by the time Lirian was done the first rays of sunlight started to drift in through the cracks at the edges of the wooden window.

Lirian eagerly pushed the windows open, he was eager to watch a sunrise for the first time in months, but after a few minutes of staring intensely as the sun rose from the horizon, Lirian left with disappointment.

It wasn’t quite what he hoped it would be, the colors of the world looked a million times duller when compared to what his real eyes could see, and it felt more like he was looking at the world through a screen.

Lirian sighed in disappointment, he had really gotten his hopes up to have his eyes in use once again, but that’s when something suddenly struck him.

After he was reborn in this life, his vision had actually remained the same from his last life as Talon, it was just as powerful and he could see with just as much detail, even after he fell and became a mortal.

He never experienced the usual cloudiness that came to him every time he dropped from being a god to a mortal, ‘I guess that I really took my eyes for granted,’ Lirian sighed as he turned away from the sunrise.

For a comparison the eyes of Bell when compared to his own was the difference between having a black and white image and a color image that was developed and had its colors intensified by a professional studio, there was simply no comparison.

Lirian turned back and pick up Bell’s uniform, the Red Boar was easily the classiest restaurant and resort for nobles in the city, so naturally, the clothes of all its workers were high class as well.

Lirian picked up a black suit that resembled a butler’s outfit and quickly put it on, he was going to wait to see if Izlandi showed up today, if she didn’t appear then he was going to enact his plan against House Kurt.

Lirian wore his identity as Bell and emerged from the room as he prepared to test out how effective his fate copying techniques was, it was the first time that he would ever get to truly use it, in the past even if he could use it, which he couldn’t because of its strict requirements, his curse would still remain, and make it impossible for him to blend in with people.
