500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"I would like to know if what we talked about was true. I came here for honest advice, not to be tricked into playing games," I said and looked at Lexi, who flinched, but Cancer put a hand on my arm and shook her head.

"Lexi didn't lie; she only did this because I asked her to. You are right; this was not the time or place to test you, and she made a mistake. She is sorry for this," Cancer said, and Lexi nodded in agreement.

"I am. I'm sorry for trying to test you like that. Everything I told you was the truth, and I think that underwear, toys, and oils are the best option to impress each woman. If you are still unsure of my advice, give Listenia and Elfinia their gifts first and then Judge their reactions to them. It was very unprofessional for me to do this to you, and I am very sorry. You can return Karine and me to the Mortal Realm if you want. I have clearly overstayed my welcome by doing this," Lexi said, but I sighed and shook my head.

"No," I said, looking from Lexi to Cancer. "You both have provided me with valuable insight and advice. In fact, it was Lexi's suggestions that made me realize I should get something special for Titania as well. Thank you so much; I appreciate the help." I looked back at Cancer and smiled. "I think we still need to talk more, but I need to get back to the Mortal Realm for now.

Cancer nodded, understanding my need to take a break. "Alright, well, why don't we talk more once you get back?"

I smiled and gave her a nod in agreement. "Sounds like a plan." I then looked at Lexi and thanked her again for her assistance. "Thank you for your help, Lexi. I genuinely appreciate it." ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

Lexi smiled and bowed her head respectfully. "You're welcome, Galio. It was an honor to be of service, and I am sorry that it turned out like this. I really enjoy talking with you, and having you ask me these questions makes me feel like there is finally some point in my life."

"What do you mean? You are the recorder of history, so I think that you have one of the more important jobs, right?" I asked, but Lexi shook her head.

"The information is barely even read because the other Keepers are too strict with it. What is the point of gathering information on everything if there is no purpose for it?" Lexi asked, and I understood what she meant.

"I see. Something like that would be very frustrating," I said, and then looked back at Cancer, then back to Lexi. "You are welcome in my home for as long as you want, but I suggest that you think about things more before you do them. Also, I am the highest god in all the worlds, save for my father and mother, so take what everyone else says with a grain of sand."

I honestly was trying to let this go, but I was still frustrated with Cancer. She was supposed to be the kind and shy one that would do anything for me, but now I wasn't even sure if this was the same person. She had changed a lot since coming into my world, but I was starting to think that maybe these changes weren't for the best.

"I understand, Galio," Lexi said, giving me a slight nod of her head before glancing at Cancer. "And I promise to be more careful from now on."

Cancer smiled and nodded before gesturing for Lexi to follow her out of the room. I watched them go for a moment before rubbing my temples, feeling the exhaustion that followed any major conversation with anyone. Maybe it was time for me to take a break and just relax for a little bit, but I wasn't sure if that was going to do me any good, either. I was more than likely just going to work myself into frustration again.

Standing up, I gestured for a portal, but I made it to Tallia's front door of her house. The sun was going down, but I still had a bit of time, so I stepped through and knocked on the door as the portal closed.

I had to wait for a moment, but then Tallia opened the door with a smirk, but it slipped off her face when she locked eyes with me. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Galio? What's wrong?" She asked, and I just shook my head.

"I am not sure if I really even know anymore... Why is she here?" I asked as I saw a figure in black sitting at her table with Fate.

"Xena and I have tea every day at this time; you just showed up at a strange time. Do you want to talk in private?" Tallia asked as she took one of my hands, but I couldn't take my eyes off the Blood Witch.

"What do you mean, every day? You do realize that I am trying to purge the world of them, right? You know what she did to you, and you are still willing to talk to her?" I asked in confusion, and Tallia sighed.

"You still talk to Nemoria and even take her side over your fathers, do you not? I am sure that she just gave a Blood Witch more power to try and kill you with, did she not? Yet, you still talk to her and ask her for advice, yes?" Tallia asked, and I nodded with a sigh.

"We can talk inside, but just so we are clear, I have only come for your opinion on this," I said, and Tallia smiled sadly, stepping aside so I could walk inside.

I headed over and pulled out a chair, sitting down at the table with Fate and Xena, two people that were the highest on my shit list. I looked between them, but neither would make eye contact as Tallia made me some tea.
