[Hey. Won't you... be my divine child?]
Goddess' voice reverberated in the empty dark space. The deep blush on her face made her so adorable that my mind was blown away and I couldn't stop my voice from trembling.
[M-may I ask w-what is it? The divine child?]
[If you decide to be my divine child, when you reincarnate you will receive my divine protection and my magic affinities in addiction to yours. Your physical and magical abilities will be higher than normal and will rise faster than the other people and your life lenght will be a lot higher. You will also get innate Concealment skill that makes you able to hide things you don't want others to know about. The divine protection will also protect you from mind influences of lower magnitude than mine.]
T-that's a lot.
[It's very advantageus for me isn't it?]
[Also...ou..il..ove.]
[Sorry? Could you repeat?]
I don't know how but the already beet red face has further deepened in colour. Then she shouted.
[You will also receive my eternal love as my contractor! Don't you dare to hesitate after that!]
Wow, just wow... What is this cute creature!? I will accept. I WILL. I don't have any other choice, do I? To hell with the girlfriend, I'm already dead anyway.
I don't know what propelled me, call it the power of infatuation or lust or... whatever. I just floated in direction of the source of adorableness and stopped a dozen or two centimeters from her face.
[I accept. And I will love you as long as you promise to do the same.]
[!!!]

I was caught.
I, or rather my soul, am now resting on a bosom of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and even though I can't feel anything, I'm having the best time of my of my life. Or death, you call it.
[So, you said that you were a mother?]
[Y-yes. I am an ancestor of the whole line of gods of pantheon. My daughter has two children, you know. Her name is Nyx.]
[The goddess of the night.]
[Yes. How did you know?]
[Myths. The god of my world seems to have included your pantheon in them.]
[Oh that sounds something he would do.]
[Do you know him?]
[No, but I heard about him from Tartarus, the god of-]
[Underworld.]
[Yes. He said that when your god was making your world, he borrowed the ideas from a lot of different worlds. That's why I said including our pantheon is just like him.]
Hmm that makes sense.
[I also have five grandchildren! Thanatos, Hypnos, Nemesis, Hemera and Aether. Aaah! It makes me sounds like some old hag.]
[You're not a hag. You are my lovely goddess.]
[!!!]
The lovely goddess in question embraced me into her chest with a red face.
So the Death, Sleep, Retribution and... Day and Light? Well, after Night comes the Day so it makes some sense but Aether is definitely an oddball there. A little shady bunch, but I can't bring myself to see them in bad light after seeing that their grandmother is such a lovely being.
[So, who's Nyx's father?]
Caligo stiffened. By the way, she told me to call her by her name. She said:"It's only natural, right?". I couldn't resist.
[Um... It's Chaos... I-it's not like we had anything else to do, alright!? It was before the beggining of the world! He's also my father!]
That only makes it worse! But, the beggining of the world, huh. She's really seen it all.
[It's alright. You only love me, yes?]
[Only!]
She nodded repeatedly with serious face, her long obsidian waves of hair jumping up and down. Cute. Then I remembered quite important issue.
[Hey, do you know how much time will it take to transfer my soul to my new body?]
[What, are you so quick to leave me?]
[Of course not.]
[I'm joking. I will talk to you occasionally through the divine child contract. To answer your question, it shouldn't be long now. A couple of days, maybe. I'll tell you when we'll have to initiate the contract. It will be right before you reincarnation.]
We spent the rest of days in Caligo's domain at chit-chatting and talking about my world and this world. However at last came the time to initiate the contract and at the same time, it was the time to temporarily say goodbye.
[I shall begin.]
After she said that, Caligo's aura changed drasticly. She emanated preassure worthy of the primodial goddess she is. I wasn't able to say anything, the words wouldn't come out. Then Caligo opened her mouth and I heard the voice so divine that a single second of listening to it caused me to internally moan in delight.
[I bestow upon thee my blessing, the blessing of the abyss, the blessing of void and darkness. From now on thee shall be known as the divine child of mine. Let this contract be sealed with an impregnable seal of my eternal love to thee.]
The divine Caligo smiled at me, scooped me with her hands from her chest and gave my soul a delicate, long kiss.
After that, I passed out.
