I sat at the desk, as I tried to sort through all the sub-stats, then decided with a sigh that I would have to make some new ones. I looked up to tell the girls my decision, and could not help the smile that formed on my lips, as I saw the girls get used to their new bodies. Annabel stood about five feet three inches (160 cm) tall, with short cropped blond hair, and small breasts of which I could probably cover one with both hands. Her eyes were a brilliant lavender color, with no pupils noticeable. Alexia, on the other hand, was about five feet ten inches (177.8 cm) tall, with dark cobalt pupilless eyes, and long light blue hair, each breast could easily be covered by one of my hands. I assumed this was to keep them out of the way while fighting. Then Annabell attempted to do a pirouette, of which she lost control and with a small squeak fell into Alexia, who had tried for a spinning back kick. I laughed after they hit the floor with a muted thud and got up to see if they were ok.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Alexia gruffly.

"You two."

"It's n..n..not funny," stammered Annabelle, it was quite cute.

"You should see it from my point of view. You may know how to walk but have no experience in doing so." I walked over and hugged both of them, "Why don't you just try getting the hang of walking for now, and we can work on the other stuff later?"

Both of the girls nodded, then sorted themselves out and started to walk around the room a little unsteadily at first.

"I've decided on number five," I said, which caused both girls to stop, "This sub-attribute stuff for this realm is a mess, I would like for it to be cleaned up some. What I would like is for one of them to combine the top five of each sub-attribute, after getting rid of all the duplicates. Also, we should probably limit the new "Uber" sub-stats to say, god's avatars, champions, heroes, and certain higher-ups of the gods."

"But, Master that would exclude you," replied Annabelle.

I smiled at her and shook my head gently, "I have an idea for that, for now, we just need to get the system cleaned up."

The girls went still as they started to process my request, and I sat back at the desk. I now had my race, class, a manor/storage/ship bay with a ship, and the sub-attribute fix was on the way. Five more to go, and I wondered if I would be able to use them all with getting overly strong, which would make life not challenging enough. After a while, still I had not thought of anything else, at least not that I would take seriously, the girls interrupted me.

"Master, the sub-attributes are complete, and the Interverse Realm's god and their system have sent an envoy to talk with you," Annabelle told me with some excitement.

With eyebrows raised, I turned to look at her, "Oh, an envoy, I feel special now."

 "I am glad you agree," said a new voice, as a somewhat oppressive and bloodthirsty aura entered our small space. I turned towards the voice and saw a large man, about eight feet (243.8 cm) tall, long black hair. His eyes were odd, blood red around a large black pupil, that shrunk and narrowed as I watched until it looked like a cat's pupil. I then noticed his very red lips, with just a hint of fang sticking over the bottom one. "Greetings, Jack, I am Malbix, Lord of the Dead, a minor god of Interverse."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"I Interverse?" I asked as I did not remember having heard the name before.

"Ahhh, yes the realm you will be joining after you are finished here is called Interverse. Due to you helping The System to revamp some of it's more bothersome details, the main god sent me here to suggest you choose a god or goddess, preferably one of the major ones, as a consort, thus allowing for you to use your new sub-attributes."

"Consort? As in a husband that has no power over a ruler's kingdom?"

"Similar to that yes," he grinned showing more of his fangs, "but to a deity, a major one at that. This will give you some special abilities and/or spells that you can only get from them."

I nodded my head at him, to show that I had heard and understood what he was saying, then had a thought. "Ummmm, it would be helpful to have a list of the major deities then."

"Of course give me a few seconds to clear it with the system." His eyes glazed over and soon another screen popped up.

 "Wow, only twelve of them?" I asked surprised.

"Yes, all of us minor deities are under one or more of them, it actually works out really well. I, for an example, fall under mostly the goddess of death, and a little under the goddess of nature."

"Interesting," I said, "only one or can I choose more than one?"

Malbix's eyes lost focus for a second, "No, He says you may choose up to six, the first one free, but if you want more you have to spend abilities on up to five."

I nodded at him and my own eyes lost focus as I thought about it, "Ok, I've made up my mind I choose..."
