I made the decision to tell my sister my hidden truths tonight. She held her breath in shock as I revealed each of my unspoken secrets to her. She gradually ingested my crazy circumstances into her mind as forcefully as she could.
“…”
My sister and I exchanged silent glances as the moonlight shone brightly at us and the sound of billowing curtains echoed across the dark space. My sister finally spoke out and questioned me to break the eerie silence.
“So you still have memories of your previous life?”
“I have. I have been residing in two worlds for thirty years, making me intellectually older than you may believe.
I still believe that I have not really mentally matured all that much, despite the fact that I am mentally thirty years old and have lived longer than my sister.
In a past life, I was just a typical student with the obligation to finish my studies. I was given another chance to live, but when I did, I was born again as a newborn, starting over from scratch.
Since I’m still a child and just starting off, I didn’t have many obligations. When the time I am given crucial tasks like managing a territory or new life experiences, I believe that my mind will continue to grow and develop.
“Thirty years?”
“It must be sickening and you feel nauseated to the fact that you were being in a room with a thirty year old, right?”
“…”
She did not respond to my faltered query and just bobbed her head. She must be offended that she was wearing revealing clothes in front of a thirty year old.
I also bowed my head considering that I lied to my family for many years. I decided to reveal her the truth and promised to myself that I will accept their response and atone the consequences of my sins.
Suddenly, my sister folded her knees and put her feet on the bed. She drifted her body backward until she reached the center of her huge bed. At first glance, she looked like she distanced herself away from me. But my expectations were betrayed by her next words.
“Come here.”
She ordered me with her arms wide opened. She was sitting flat on the white mattress as she averted her eyes from me. I hesitated at first but I stood up from the wooden chair indicating that I accepted her invitation.
I crawled on the soft mattress and slowly approached my sister. I have a guess of what she will do but I cannot let myself to anticipate what I wanted given our current situation.
“?!”
Upon reaching a certain amount of gap, my sister suddenly clutch my head and plunge my face down to her soft chest. I tried to resist but sister’s strength were superior than mine.
“Resistance is futile, Raphael. I am disappointed of what you had said. When you said those words, I felt that you have lost your faith to my promise prior just because of a mere silence. I admit that I was quite appalled and fell into silence, but that doesn’t mean that I will despise you just because of something as trivial as your mental age! No matter where I go, no matter how many times I turned the world upside down, it doesn’t change the fact that you are my little brother! Like I said before, I will accept no matter what or who you are.”
“Sho-ree.” I replied still submerged on her sweaty bosom.
The words of my sister hit me as if my heart being impaled by a sharp stake. All I have to do was to stop struggling and gave up all of my strength like a puppet lose its strings. I entrusted my body to her grip as a slowly but surely ingested each of her words.
I inhaled to supply my body with oxygen but my nostrils were filled with my sister’s sweet scent. Using the perfume as the catalyst, it stimulates the fragrance of her sweat to her own scent.
“Even if you did reborn many times and gained thousand of years of experience, you are still my beloved little brother. Even if you become a founder, a conqueror, a savior, a pioneer, or anybody else, it is my duty as your older sister to guide and support you for your chosen path. Even if I am not you sister or just a stranger to you, I will still acknowledge you and your real self for who you are. This is this, that is that, and you are you. Understand?”
“Yesh. Mam.”
I rubbed my face against her bosom as I nodded at her words. My entire face were engulfed by the softness of her chest. The sensation of her skin along with her luscious scent stimulates my entire body and slowly awakening my natural instincts. If I didn’t have the Mental Attack Resistance, I had lost my reasons and already attacking her like a hungry beast.
“If I ever feel disgusted of you, I would never do this kind of thing in the first place. I would never allow any man to have this kind of intimacy with me other than you. So you should be grateful.”
Then she loosen the grip of her arms and set me free. Despite attracted only to women, she allowed me to be physically close to her. It also pointed out how much she believe and trust me.
“I must be too pessimistic and did not think about of what you have in mind. I am mentally prepared for the consequences but it made me forgot that people are fragile and could break,” then I bent over my upper body until my head hit the mattress, “And I am sincerely sorry for ever doubting you, my sister.” I apologize to my sister as I do a dogeza.
“Apology accepted.” she said while folding her arms under her bust. “Now that you had calmed down, we can now go back to our talk. But if you cannot open up yourself right now, we can talk about it the next time.”
“I appreciate your offer but I will refuse. I will disclose everything that I’ve been hiding these years.” I sit up straight as I declined her suggestion.
“Have you told this to someone?”
“No, it’s just only you, sister. I could tell this to our family but it’s a matter of how ready I am or who asked me first.”
I already have strong faith and trust in my family. But I myself was not prepared. Due to a mistake, my sharp minded sister caught me hiding secrets and ordered me to tell her everything.
“So I am the first one you have talk about this?”
“Yes.”
“Then, let’s proceed to our discussion.”
“But first, take a look at my real status board.”
I conjured my status board and a long translucent quadrilateral panel between us. The board glowed a pale light blue light and it basking lightly to our faces. But the characters that my sister is seeing was flipped horizontally.
“I can’t read. Come and sit here.”
“…Okay.”
She tapped the area of the mattress where she want me to sit, it was by her side. I accepted her suggestion and crawled to her right. The status board followed me and I am now sitting beside my sister with my knees fold.
“With this, we can read it together.” she said then looked at the board. “What a long list.” She fixated her attention on the board and read the contents with serious eyes.
It is definitely a long list. I’ve been killing monsters and took their skills. Synthesizing them made it longer. By the way, this is my current status:

I’ve been exploring deeper in the forest. Stronger and more powerful monsters were popping up more often as I dive further in the forest. In the next days, I will be spending more time slaying monsters in the forest to level up and help solve my sister’s worry.
After reading my stats and skills, my sister fixed her amethyst eyes to me. She tightly grip my shoulders with both of her hands and glared at me with murderous gaze.
“Raphael. I demand an explanation about these skills of yours. And could be please elaborate these blessings?”
With that, I explained the skills and blessings that I got from the Goddess. I also answered her inquiries about the skills she didn’t understand. We continued to chat about myself as we laid on the mattress throughout the night.
