(^^^ small edit to flesh out the relationship a bit)

Author note before we get started. Ill be doing smut for this book in 4 grades which is related to the number of stars a chapter title has.

* = smut that won't take up the whole chapter. It's more implied.

** = smut that takes up a chunk of a chapter. More detailed but not full on sex

*** = full on penetrative sex that likely takes most if not all of the chapter.

**** = more erotic sex with certain kinks included.

This first time is a cross of 2 stars and 3 stars. BTW, the next chapter will also be smut. So be prepared. If we can get up to 70 power stones by tomorrow then I'll post the next chapter early before resuming normal schedule

Enjoy

*************************

A young blue haired boy is lying down in a hospital bed stripped bare to just his underwear as his clothes had been shred to thin pieces and collected by his goddess. A green holy light covering his body as his injuries are more extensively healed due to the various internal injuries that Airmid Teasanare[1] otherwise known as Dea Saint of Dian Cecht familia is healing at the request of the guild and paid by the child's worried goddess. Luckily the actual injuries are within the limits of her abilities but due to the expensive prices of her familia, they could only afford the 'cheapest' offer which limited the healing Airmid would do. It would ensure that the boy could walk again but it would take at least a week to recover on its own while the internal injuries were strangely limited, the shock spread out too weirdly, as if the various muscles or organs were shifted around in a nonfatal method. Regardless she has done her job and the healing will continue on it's own while she rests or takes care of the many other patients of her familias clinic.

The long silver haired maiden leaves the room, allowing the boy to continue resting and healing, though not before almost bumping into a cloaked figure that enters the room after her. She is about to stop the person from disturbing the patient when the hulk of a man by the name of Ottar stops her. Upon seeing him, she nervously excuses herself as she wants nothing to do with the situation anymore until they leave.

Ottar simply sits in the reception while the cloaked figure approaches the bedridden boy and sits beside him. They lower their hood to reveal that the person is the goddess Freya. She takes this moment to look at Axel's soul and is pleasantly surprised to find that one of the 'disgusting' darker parts has transformed into a pure natural green. Like the color of fresh grass that borders on emerald. Her interest is revitalized though that also leaves her at a standstill as over the course of watching him, she has found a second candidate for her affection in Orario. A cute white haired boy of a similar age to Axel himself. After witnessing the new boy named Bell, her interest has been suppressed which was why she had delayed her plans for Axel due to the principles she follows. But now finding that as Axel grows, his shattered soul could turn into some wonderful glass collage, her passion is renewed before being stifled again. Her hand is lowered to tracing Axel's face as she says.

"Oh my child, You have grown quite a bit since I last saw you. are you truly my Odr, do I continue to stick with you or let you be free with the immortal group while I continue my search. I am no fool, I am aware that the other two are suppressing themselves while in Orario. One has a good heart to see your growth while the other has a growing mad obsession that rivals my own. Am I willing to share you with others? Or is it possible for my Odr to be mine alone? I know if I leave now then that is equivalent to discarding you. Oh if only you could speak to me now and tell me what possibilities there are for us."

She ruminates to herself firstly about his growth as it has only been a few days since she last looked at him and he has grown to surpass 5' tall in height as compared to his mid 4' of height beforehand. She also knows that the other goddess would surely claim him many times over during the recovery period. An emphasis of her love for her child which Freya can appreciate due to her own desires but unlike the other who simply wishes to be smothered in the love of her child, she seeks a true partnership. A worthy husband like no other.

As she spends minutes thinking to herself, the young boy beside her starts to shake as he awakens. Axel dully opens his eyes to the sight of a cloaked silver haired goddess that he partially recognizes as the third member of his falna. He tries to get up so that he could pay his respects to her but finds his body immobile, a soft glow covering him. Seeing that he is bound to his bed (to prevent him from hurting himself by tossing and turning in his sleep) and through his new skill, he can tell his body is being healed so he lies back down but he still speaks up.

"Greetings goddess, I apologize for not knowing your name till now but I still thank you for what you have done for me ...Are you alright? You seem troubled." Axel asks his own question as he finds a goddess with a conflicted expression on her face.

Freya is shocked out of her rumination as a gentle expression returns to her face as she introduces herself, "I am the goddess Freya. I am fine, just unsure of what to do. But since you are awake, i'll ask you a question. What do you think of me? Do you think a mortal and god can be together? You should know that you are likely the newest current record holder for fastest leveling speed if my sources are correct. Your time would be a month and 3 weeks though the guild has records of your adventuring so you only have been in the dungeon for a total of 3 weeks.. If you continue at such a pace or even get faster, what are your dreams?" She throws out a bunch of questions which only makes Axel confused as he is unsure of what the primary issue is that he should focus on in response. He can only start from the end and go backwards.

"I just wish to feel happy in my life, spending time with those precious to me, letting their joy spread to me and back and forth. I did waste a lot of time in getting money or just training since I was just level 1 and never had training before arriving at Orario…at least not that I know of. So it's possible my speed could increase. As for you, you are naturally beautiful but I'm confused on one aspect.

"Oh how so?" Freya is willing to answer his questions so that she can get her own solid answers.

"I did a bit of personal research on the various familias after I got my falna. The guild has a record of the designs for each god or goddess. According to those records, the freya familia symbol is a side view of a person's head with a winged helmet on their head. It is entwined with 2 circles. My own is similar but far more detailed, as if a closer reflection of your own appearance instead of being neutral and unspecific to yourself, my lady."

Freya raises an eyebrow at this information as she was lost in the process, uncaring for her own falna symbol. "What is your question?"

"Why does the symbol on my back look like it's on the verge of crying?" He explains and Freya jumps a bit in her seat as she didn't expect something like that.

"Oh. Do you think I lack anything in Orario? Why would I need to be sad?" Freya attempts to wave off the accusation to not reveal her true self as only her Odr is worthy of it.

"Do you actually like Orario?" Freya stills at this question to which Axel nods and continues. "I see, that explains why you asked that last question. Whether mortals and gods can be together. You're looking for someone. Orario is simply the best place to find such a person that fits your needs. I cant fathom what a lovely lady such as yourself could be looking for but in regards to such relationships, then it depends."

"Depends on what?" Freya asks, curious as his very answer could determine her own actions.

"It's theorized that level 10 is supposed to be the limit but no one knows what happens to a person then. Do they become a god, or is this simply a more complicated method of becoming an immortal like the others? Because adventurers die so often in the dungeon, no one really seems to know if the falna extends one's lifespan as they level up. So it could be possible for a goddess and mortal to be together. You are also a very beautiful goddess and anyone would be lucky enough to get your recognition which is surely why you are the strongest in Orario. Though you are searching for someone and you don't actually like Orario…" as he plans to continue speaking, a finger is placed against his lips, quieting him down. A smile resting on Freya's face as she now speaks.

"Then Axel, do you like me? Would you free me? Would you take up the mantle of your own free will and not out of obligation to grant me happiness?" She asks the final set of questions as she unleashes her charm to see the truth of his heart as he shouldnt be able to resist her line of questioning.

"I can't say I like you goddess." His words wound her heart but he doesnt finish talking

"I barely know you afterall, this is just our second meeting but if you need help then i'll give it." He proclaims and with her soul sight as well as the falna link, she can firmly state that he didn't lie, even though her charm didn't work as something in his soul releases pulses of energy to devour any of her charm energy once it starts trying to reach further and skin level. They sit in silence for quite a while before Axel notices tears falling down her beautiful face. Axel moves against the pain and uses his good leg to pull Freya into his embrace after escaping the bindings, as she doesnt seem to have noticed her own tears.

"It's alright, i'll help you. Shhhhhh" He tries to comfort her but has never done this before and is thus quite awkward. Freya begins to cry harder at this point but in her own heart, she has decided as no one has seen her this vulnerable before. There can only be a single explanation for this then.

Then, as the one true goddess of your falna, you will be with me forever, my Odr." She starts to unbuckle her cloak which reveals her sultry body and very minimalistic style clothing that she typically wears in private. Her cloak then glows to expand around her and covers the bed that Axel is on as well. Axel who is hugging Freya is confused over what is happening as the darkness of the cloak envelops him.

He can only resort to feeling as he can tell that Freya pushes him back on the bed to lie down again. She says, "You should be resting, lie down and let me do all the work." She says and sits down upon his waist, his own movements limited due to his confusion but if he was determined, he could easily get her off of him but he has no reason to hurt her like that after he had just witnessed her true emotions just now.

Freya begins to seemingly rub herself against his body. This continues for a few seconds as Axel starts to feel much hotter which he attributes to the stuffiness of the cloaked artifact. Freya then grabs his underwear and lowers it to around his legs, of which he can only move one currently as the other is still recovering.

He feels Freya something slightly wet being pressed against his dick which sends a gasp of pleasure to rise up in Axel as he has never experienced something like this. A giggle rings out as Freya herself feels up the 'elephant trunk' underneath her. She has never believed that a man could possess such a length and girth but she believes it possible due to the monstrous essence absorbed over the course of the past few weeks, if not entirely the fault of whatever it is that he fought to the death against.

She brings out a nice little bottle from her garterbelt which she begins to coat Axel's dick, causing him to moan in confusion while she licks her lips at what comes next. She lifts herself up while allowing the girthy meat below her to follow along. She bends over to deliver a kiss to Axel's lips as she says, "you are mine, my Odr. I grant you sharing privileges but always remember that you are mine above all else. Never forget your vow to me dear husband." She kisses him again as she lowers her waist to meet his dick but he doesnt immediately enter due to the size of it but Freya is patient and allows her hands to adjust so that his tip is aligned with her own canal before entering her. She moves slowly as this is uncharted territory for her as well but feeling herself being split apart by her Odr bit by bit, inch by inch until her precious hymen is shattered to dust and he fully enters her. His length only stops just outside her womb as her new walls prevent the full length from entering her.

Freya lets out a muffled groan as she doesnt want her Odr to know she is in pain, so she quickly gets her emergency healing tablet that contains bits of high end potion from her garterbelt to swallow down which helps reduce the massive pain her nerves are transmitting to her due to the violation of space that Axels dick is doing to her.

Axel himself is a confused mess as he is lost in the pleasure, unable to stop his own moan which is barely contained by the magical cloak. "Goddess."

"Call me Freya my love" She gives him another kiss as she barely moves her hips before a release of seed flows through her and straight into her womb. Yet even after Axel came unprovoked, he was still rock hard inside her.

"I'm sorry" Axel says in self-blame but only gets another kiss in return as she says, "You are young, it is obviously your first time, just as it is mine. So let us feel good together my Odr. She says as she notices his soul seems to be rapidly clearing up tons of murkiness ever since she pierced herself upon his Thrungva[2]. She gets to witness a bit of the appearance of the collage which takes the colorful form of Axel's own face.

A true reflection of himself. Shattered, a mix of various parts coming together to one whole. Yet the strangest part would be the areas that didn't fully brighten up as she can witness minor movement from it. Which is rare as the soul doesnt always provide a reflection of appearance due to various reasons and it grows distorted the more sin that person commits. Certain taints are even acquired from parentage but Axel's soul is the opposite, a pure soul that was drowned in mud but is cleaned up over time

'AH', She tears up a bit at the beauty of his soul and to show her appreciation, she continues moving, their hips meeting as Axel uses his new skill to slightly change the shape of his dick so that it's a bit smaller so as not to eviscerate her uterus. But this also allows his full length to enter her. Freya lets out a gasping moan at being fully filled by Axel before she starts to twist her hips which allows Axel to rub all of her walls with rampant abandonment as the duo reach climax at the same time.

Freya rises off of Axel's waist, taking her cloak back as she seems to grab the liquid that was coating Axels dick which turned out to be a sort of elastic gel, like a slime, though it did nothing to block Axels seed from reaching Freya. After collecting the evidence of their sex, she shuffles back to her seat. Her face is happy but tired now due to losing her virginity so abruptly but it was her choice. She also oogles his suppressed size a bit, helping him bring up his underwear again and then bringing his bedsheets back up again as he still needs to rest and recover.

Axel himself has a flushed expression but he has a smile on his face. The two exchange kisses before Freya reminds him once more that she ultimately belongs to her but she is willing to share him if need be for his own continued happiness. Axel himself is lost in his pleasure high as he is also confused about who else likes him before he remembers his other goddesses. He can tell that his main goddess Raikou surely desires him if the previous kisses were any strong indicator but for now he must rest.

With two loads lost to Freya, exhaustion takes him again as he falls asleep again.

Shortly after a new figure joins the room, a busty purple haired lady with a worried expression on her face. Her expression slightly changes due to the smell of blood in the room but can only assume it's from Axels injuries as she knows that part of his injuries won't be immediately healed due to them being short on funds but she takes a seat in the same chair freya just was as she combs Axels hair. She ponders a bit if he is too warm under the bed sheet as he is sweating a bit but then a second aroma enters her senses which causes her frown in displeasure. Vowing to punish Axel for being unfaithful to her.

[1] Fun fact. Airmid is based on the Irish goddess who is both the daughter of Dian Cecht but also the sister of Miach. Which means Miach is also Dian Cechts son. Her singular healing spell is called Dia Fratel which according to wiki means "For my Brother" in italian. It's based on some tale where the god Miach dies and the goddess Airmid cries over his grave, blooming 365 flowers/herbs

[2] Thrungva is the name of Freya's official sword. It is also known as Sparrows bite which is a bit weird but whatevs. It's from the god of war wiki b/c no name was known for her mythological weapons. The only known named possession was a necklace made by dwarves
