Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 859

Chapter 859 Bogus

Due to the spiritual energy coursing through him and syncing with his mana, Atticus's body was benefiting from two powerful energies.

His bond with Ozeroth had forced him through an intense process, flooding his body with an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy that he had sustained for some time.

The pain had been unimaginable, but the benefits were undeniable. His body had been pushed to its absolute limit, and that strain was the root cause of his current bottleneck.

At this point, Atticus could feel he had more spiritual energy than mana. The effects of the spiritual energy were clear in his body.

Although he had just woken from a long sleep, his body looked radiant. There wasn't a single imperfection. His physique was perfectly sculpted, and he exuded an aura that naturally drew people in.

Atticus couldn't help but whistle as he noticed the massive leap in his charm stat. Even he was a little attracted to himself.

"As it should be," Ozeroth said with a satisfied smile. "As my bond, you should be able to attract even people of the same gender."

Atticus's face scrunched up.

Ozeroth laughed heartily at Atticus's reaction. "Ah, scoff all you like, but let me tell you, in the Spirit World, though I was hated by every spirit worth their salt, I could still feel the wetness between the women's legs as they stared at me." His voice was dripping with pride.

Atticus groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "That sounded wrong on so many levels."

Ozeroth grinned wider. "Wrong? No, my dear bond, that's power. The kind of allure you can't fake. As my bond, you should—"

He suddenly froze, his expression shifting as he combed through Atticus's memories. His brows furrowed, then rose in shock before he let out a long, exaggerated hum.

"Hmmm, I'm starting to rethink this bond."

Atticus blinked, confused. "What?" _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"A woman used you, and another outright rejected you? Embarrassing! Absolutely embarrassing!" Ozeroth exclaimed. "How will I ever hold my head high if the Spirit World finds out my bond was such a… what's the word?" He paused, searching through Atticus's memories.

"Ah yes, a simp."

Atticus's face turned red. "I was not simping," he muttered defensively.

"Oh, really?" Ozeroth snapped his fingers, and two images appeared in the air: one of Kira kissing another boy while Atticus watched from a distance, and another of Zoey rejecting him.

"Then what would you call this?" Ozeroth asked pointedly.

Atticus cleared his throat, looking anywhere but at the humiliating memories. "It just… happened, okay?"

Ozeroth stared at him for a long moment before taking a deep breath, as if calming himself.

"It's fine. What's done is done. The past is the past. What matters is the future. And now that I'm here, things will change for the better. You should thank me."

Atticus chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Ozeroth."

But just as he said that, his thoughts drifted to Zoey. Since Ozeroth had brought her up, he couldn't help but wonder what she might be doing now—

"YOU'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT HER?!" Ozeroth roared in his head, the sheer volume rattling Atticus's focus.

Ozeroth continued, his voice firm and commanding, like a general addressing a soldier.
