Paradise of Infinity: 276
🕑 Added 2023-06-22 15:14:55 +0000 UTCTitle: The Perfect Little Smexy Partner is Here!
Nik’s senses and body are more honed than the two times he’s faced the dimensional travel, so despite feeling groggy, he accurately twists his body midair the second a pitch-black portal opens inside a dim-gray room before landing in a crouch, cursing himself internally in forgetting he is still a naked traveler as he feels his balls and cock dangling without a fabric covering them. In this state of dizziness, Nik barely registers the strange surroundings and a catty whistle.
“Phew~ Phew~!”
He frowns as he stands slowly, his vision clouded with an array of notifications—the contents of which is as shocking as they are strange!

Information floods Nik’s mind, but it doesn’t overwhelm him. Instead, the pseudo-library in his mind helps ease the pressure as he accepts the turn of events before opening his status window.

Nik nods to himself before calmly looking at the petite figure standing in the center of the 2*2 room as he retrieves an outfit from his personal world—one of the few Mitsuko bought him in the Homeworld—as he questions, “You must be my partner for the new missions. I’m Nik. Nice to meet you.”
Though, the caution in his gaze betrays his thoughts as he observes the snickering… girl? No, something is different. A Guy? His eyes twitch since he feels it in his gut that it’s not the correct answer either. Anyway, his ‘Partner’ has already had an eyeful of him.
The youth ahead stands somewhere around 150 centimeters when compared to Nik’s 190.
Their most prominent feature is their greyish-white hair, fair and supple skin, and hazy pink pupils that match the intense curiosity and caution in Nik’s violet orbs despite the toothy grin on their face.
A baggy orange shirt covers their torso, leaving the blue hotpants barely visible underneath, their plush thighs exposed to the view leading to a pair of white stockings covering the rest of their legs and blue shoes rounding their feet.
“Hmm, great!” They smirk. “Nice to meet you, too, Nik. Call me Ray. Didn’t expect you to accept the situation so calmly.”
Ray looks around the dim room, smiling, “You must have lots of questions, right?”
‘Obviously,’ He rolls his eyes as he pulls his zipper up before sighing.
---
Ray has been waiting for her partner for an hour. Then again, given their Employers, said partner might have to live for years due to temporal displacement. But all Ray knows is that she needs to wait for an hour. If her partner survives, they will fall from a portal ahead.
She expected the visitor from the Transmigration Paradise to fall on his face like everyone in their profession and wake up after hours. Ray has had similar experiences. But she did not expect the naked dude to whip up a gust before twisting mid-air and landing in a crouch, and by spirits—he’s big.
Everything about him is ‘big’ as she stares while he stands groggily.
‘He must be receiving the information,’ Ray muses. Harming another employee in the Reincarnation Domain in any manner but politically is a strict violation of the rules of conduct laid by the Reincarnation Paradise. But she prepares for any acts of stupidity.
Yet, he calmly retrieves his clothes from his Personal World.
‘I wonder what climate he got for his Personal World,’ Ray thinks as she finds his gaze observing her in return. It’s not until he speaks does she feel slightly relieved.
“You must be my partner for the new missions. I’m Nik. Nice to meet you.”
She smiles and introduces herself, looking around the undecorated room before posing, “You must have lots of questions, right?”
The roll of his eyes and the ease of his shoulders is all she needs to observe to understand they’ll get along with a swell.
After all, she can sense his bloodline. And while it’s of the weaker rank, its variation is rare.
“Before we begin, let me welcome you to the Reincarnation Paradise. I’m a Rank 1 Intern like you,” Ray smirks, taking out two chairs from her personal world as the ring-like red mark around her left forearm glimmers. “It’s a waste to use our AP on furniture, so expect this furniture as a housewarming gift. Your culture has such traditions, right?”
He nods, “I’ve heard of the traditions but never owned a house before.”
“This is your space,” Ray smiles, setting the chairs with ease despite her diminutive stature. “I was only allowed here to guide you through the several aspects of Reincarnation Paradise—things your old employer did not have. The only way for me to enter this room once we leave is with your permission through the Chat Module.”
Nik contemplates for a second before nodding as Ray’s smile brightens.
“Let’s break this down to a Q&A session. Once I answer your queries, I will explain the rest.”
---
Nik sits on the chair opposite Ray, his eyes drawn to them again as he has a gnawing feeling there is something strange about their eyes.
‘A bloodline?’ He wonders. But that’s all he can get from Ray. But his most pressing question is—
“Did you know about this conflict? If yes, why wasn’t I informed? Is it the same situation for the rest of the members from Transmigration Paradise?”
Ray crosses their legs with a hum.
“You’re lucky in a way because I know slightly more about the situation than the rest of the Rank 1 interns of all three paradises—Reincarnation, Transmigration, and Monster. Yes, the circumstance is the same for all the Members of the Paradises but not their Executives. So, the other members of Reincarnation were just as surprised when partnered with the corresponding members of Transmigration Paradise. And the Paradises did not inform us because they rarely do until we cross some lines while Infinity deemed this conflict to do nothing with us.” Ray scoffs under his breath. “It’s annoying, right? But we accepted such a life the second we became Infinity’s host.”
Nik thins his lips. Yes, it’s uncomfortable. It’s not too different from the scenario where Ra forced him into a trade. [Flames of Nirvana] is a magnificent skill. But it doesn’t change the discomfort one feels when sidelined in this manner.
“But,” Ray chuckles. “We see this happening all the time in the real world. And no, I didn’t exactly know about the conflict, but I know that the Three Paradises have conflicts in general. Like you, I’m an Intern, too. So I can’t say if this happens frequently.”
By the time Ray finishes, Nik already has another question, “What’s the Difference between Members and Executives?”
Ray shrugs.
“Rank 0 are recruits. Ranks 1-5 are members. Ranks 6-9 are Executives and Rank 10 is the Paradise.”
“Ranking up to an Intern did not inform me of the differences between Members and Executives. How did you know?” Nik looks at the youth.
“The same way I know you were recruited after death and not by an executive,” Ray smiles as the corner of Nik’s lips twitches.
“You didn’t die?”
“Nope!” Ray grins. “An executive recruited me. But we lost contact. So? Infinity randomly sent you to Transmigration Paradise, right? I can’t say you’re unlucky. Reincarnation Paradise won the conflict for a reason. It’s more active than the adventure-focused Transmigration.”
“Why is that?” Nik frowns.
“It’s something to experience when we leave for the next world. Any other questions?”
Nik turns silent as he hesitates.
“Relax,” Ray smirks. “We’re partners because Reincarnation detects some similarity between us—whatever it may be. So, backstabbers meet other traitorous sons of bitches, and sweethearts like I meet my kind.”
Nik scoffs at that, but his gaze looms over Ray again in an attempt to understand them.
“I’m a gal,” Ray’s lips curl in a knowing smile. “At least, after I fell under the Bloodline space of a Succubus. You’re from the line of Incubi, right?”
Nik sighs, “So that’s the familiarity? Sexual bloodlines?”
“No,” Ray shakes her head. “It should be more than Bloodline. But don’t sweat over my gender. I’m flexible that way and enjoy screwing with other rigid mindsets. Hah! You would not believe how easily a few people blew their fuses when they thought I was a cutesy boy and vice versa.”
Nik works his jaws silently, but before he can question, Ray leans forward.
“Now that I remember, the protocols of Infinity recruiting someone and an Executive recruiting someone are different. Say, which world did you enter? Paradise tests Infinity’s seeds in one of the harshest worlds. Was it Naruto? Bleach? Ah, don’t tell me, was it one of the theological novels?”
Her way of speaking is more than relaxing as Nik leans back, recalling his adventure—And fuck! The term ‘harsh’ is an understatement!
But Nik notices something else.
“I don’t know the name of the world. Are you saying you are familiar with many worlds despite being a rookie?”
Ray grows silent, staring at Nik with wonder. “Are you not from a world with any media? Most worlds we travel are media in our homeworlds.”
Nik shakes his head. “My birthplace did not allow me to enjoy such leisure. My homeworld does have media, but I didn’t learn the language only by the end of the week.”
Ray nods and explains, “Well, that’s it. Remember to devour any media you come across when you return to your homeworld. Metaknowledge is quite useful.”
Nik nods as he questions, “I wanted to ask… I have people in my personal world. Can they—”
“Don’t,” Ray interjects seriously. Her solemn expression surprises Nik as she adds. “Whatever happens, do not let anyone from your Personal World leave for any other world aside from their place of origin and your homeworld!”
Nik’s brows twitch as Ray points out. “Every world has a will. Some worlds, or planets, are under Infinity’s control—like our assigned Homeworlds. And we are Infinity’s host. Our Personal World is a part of Infinity itself! So, it can support any form of lifeform because its environment is capable of hosting any kind of energy. It may not make sense now, but we will get a chance to interact with the higher worlds with different forms of energy. So, Infinity doesn’t reject any lifeform—capable of nurturing them all. And our Homeworlds only suppress otherworlders that we bring from our patch of Infinity. But if you take them out in different worlds, they might get targeted in ways you and I cannot comprehend. And if they are lucky, the slightly different atmosphere of the planet will inflict them with disease and kill them.”
Nik falls silent before groans and tosses his head back in frustration.
“But there is a way,” Ray informs. “We cannot recruit members, but as our Rank grows, we can adopt partners. They will be bereft of any other advantage from Paradise, but they can travel to other worlds with you and enjoy Infinity’s decent protection.”
“Some protection it is,” Nik scowls, “The spirits almost killed me. No, most toyed with me! And I wouldn’t have survived the elemental bending schtick if it wasn’t for—Wait, how can we understand each other?”
Nik looks at the gaping Ray as she mutters, “Understand each other? That’s a simple omnipresent language adaptor of the Reincarnation Domain. Before that… your first world… did it have an Avatar?”
Nik nods, “You know about that world?”
“Was the Avatar bald or a confused chick?” Ray questions instead. “Or worse, a behemoth of a woman?”
“I know Aang and Kyoshi. Who’s the confused chick?” Nik blinks.
“This is serious, Nik!” Ray frowns. “Iceberg or Earth Kingdom?”
“Iceberg.”
Ray closes her eyes before deflating in her seat with her cheeks pouting, “We are so fucked. Don’t tell me you brought the Avatar with you.”
“Not the Avatar,” Nik shakes his head. “But it sounds like you know something, so I should clarify the situation. I appeared next to Aang from the looks of it and then our group—”
“Your group? Does that include a waterbender and a boomerang master?”
Nik thins his lips. “I brought them with me.”
“What?” Ray straightens her back. “It shouldn’t be possible. Katara and Aang should hook up after the Sozin comet passes and Zuko ascends the throne.”
Seeing Nik’s confused expression, Ray raises her hands in surrender, “Do me a favor, before we leave this space, you should explain your first world clearly. I know it’s hard to trust a heartbreaker like me, but I think I understand why we are partners. You can skip the parts you feel that are too close to your skills and ace hidden up your sleeves.”
Nik nods after a brief consideration.
