Chapter 1

--------------------------------------------

In a deserted land with sparse vegetation and scorching heat.

A silver haired woman who's walking weakly, can be seen. Her appearance is like a totured slave with tattered white clothes which is also stained with dirts and mostly blood.

Red beads of blood drips on his trails as it was easily absorbed by the moist thirsty sand.

Despite her pitiful appearance, her face is still beautiful. She has a slim face containing her dark green shallow eyes which shows despair and her eagerness to live.

She has an elegantly shaped nose bridge, with thinly shaped peach coloured lips.

Despite being wounded, the back of her ear shows that she has a white fairy like skin. Malnutrition gave her a wimp fragile-like body. But you can still see feminity in her body as her right sized boobs and buttocks gave shape on her body. Probably every woman will be envious of her when she's not on her wounded state.

Until...

.

.

.

The weak, beautiful, slave-like woman maybe can't hold on anymore and suddenly dropped. Forcing her body to lay on the merciless sand. She can't stand the heat and maybe the starvation.

Until her cracked and dehydrated lips opened.

"I wont accepted death. I won't allow you to be happy. I will return you all the pain hundred times the pain that you'd implied on me. I Altairia von Choufeirden, The woman that haven't receive pity on gods, The woman that you'd envied for her beauty, Shall take her revenge!" A bead of water filled with sorrows rolled from her eyes as it was absorbed by the merciless sand. "No gods can't stop me, not even death" she said as her tone showed determinition on her speach, her eyes showed desperation for life and fearlessness to death

.

.

.

Not long after the womans laboured breathing stopped.

Altair's body turned pale caused by the extreme loss of blood.

.

.

.

Altair's POV

I can feel my warm body turning cold despite the hot scorching heat of the desert. I can't simply accept death. I won't allow death to just claim my vengeful soul.

.

.

I live in an era ruled by the arrogant gods.

They seek fun and wreak havoc in this world. They give no care on this world as they we're higher beings. Some of them waged war, some demanded sacrifice, some trained humans to kill other gods as they are Ironically forbidden to kill their own kind.

.

.

.

Over 22 years of existence, even once, I haven't even experienced parental love and the support of my family as I was the result of my father and mother's treacherous deeds on the empire.

My mother is one of the Emperor's Concubine, And my father is one of the Emperor's royal guards.

My mother and father we're normal couples back then. Until my grandfather offered my mother to the emperor as a Concubine. My mother don't want to part with my father but she was forced and threatened.

My father blamed his weakness for not protecting my mother. As a result, father trained for years just to become one of the Emperor's royal guard.After many years of training my father succeeded.

Every night my father would sneak into the palace just to see my mother.

.

.

.

Until, A palace servant discovered their secret love affair.

They we're captured and were sentenced to death.

.

.

.

At that time I was on my mother's womb.

The Emperor issued an edict to let my mother conceive and give birth to me. It's not because the Emperor loved my mother. They had let me live as to be tortured and be turned to slave. It is to heavy my mother and father's burden even in the afterlife forbidding them to rest peacefully.

.

.

I was raised by the palace maids and trained in an early age. I was maltreated, starved, poorly treated, and forbidden to make friends.

Only the Palace's head servant Mama Su Li, gave care and loved me.

Everytime, when I'm starved by the Empress, Mama Su Li would sneak into my room to give me food. Everytime I was whipped by the Empress for my mistakes, Mama Su Li would secretly treat my treat my wounds wounds. Mama Su Li taught me various medical techniques and ways to defend myself. She taught me all the knowledge that she had learned in the mountains in her early age.

I was contented with my life even if I was poorly treated, 'cause I know that Mama Su Li is always there for me.

But Destiny don't want to see me happy.

The Empress discovered that Mama Su Li was the one sneaking in my room and secretly giving me food, care, and medicine, which is against her order.

Mama Su Li was tortured. The Empres was not contended and ordered the guards to slowly mutilate Mama Su Li's right leg.

I was angry but I felt fear. I was angry because I can't protect the one that I love. But I felt fear that they might heavy Mama Su Li's punishment if I interfered. I felt Mama Su Li's pain and agony on her screams.

I was traumatized that night. I decided to forbid myself on tying close relationship on others, until I'm strong enough to protect them. .

Mama Su Li was demoted from head servant to a lowly slave.

I grew lonely.

.

.

As I turned eighteen, nothing their treatment didn't change but my body did. I was bestowed with beauty and a body that would give arousal to men and would make other women feel envy.

The Palace's princesses and the Epress was no excuse as they also was envious of my body. As a result, The Empress sent me to Set, The god of chaos of our land. The empress sent me as a sacrifice to the god of chaos.

I struggled with all my strength.

But my strenght is not enough. I am weak and I hate it. The Empress drugged me as she did not dare to use violence on me. It's not that she love me, She wants to preserve my body as a sacrifice to the god.

.

.

As usual I was also tortured by Set. But I didn't expect Set to be also captivated in my as he is a god. But it turns out he is no different on humans except for his powers. I was nearly got raped, thanks to the assassin trained and sent by other gods to assassinate Set, I got a chance to escape on that hellish place.

.

.

And now here I am struggling to live, laying weakly, injured, and dehydrated on this hell like place that seems like destined to be my grave.

I took my felt my heavy curtains falling due to fatigue and loss of blood. I took my final breath and felt my heart slowly and weakly stopped its function.

I felt my body drift in lake like space. I hear no noise, I felt no warmth nor cold.

Is this the afterlife?

But i can't just simply get over it.

"I will never rest in peace as I will surely take my revenge" I muttered, but i felt no noise came out of my mouth.

Until.

.

DING!

---------------------------------------------

Altaria's POV

I was drifting in a lake like space. then suddenly

DING!

[Congratulation user, the divine consciousness "Medusa's Will" series acquired]

I can't understand what's going on but, Something strange penetrated my mind. I felt uneasy, I felt that I was bound to another consciousness.

[Playing "Medusa's Will" Introduction...]

I was unconscious when I felt my vision opened. I found my consciousness in a temple ruin. But I was surprised when I felt my body suddenly got up on its own. I can't control my body.

And then my lips also suddenly moved.

"I was the same as you. I was tortured, Wronged. but unlike you who just got nearly raped, I was got raped by a shameless god. I was cursed and sent in this temple." I stayed silent as I felt her pain throbbing in "my" chest.

"I was once the goddess of fertility and peace." She narrated, as the landscape move and surroundings change to a place that is filled with clouds.

" Together with my snakes, whom I considered my children, we maintained peace and prosperity in your land. I received humanity's praise and the people worshipped me," she told as the scene changed into humans building temples with a statue of a beautiful woman.

"The gods were envious of me and they feared my growing power. They joined forces and conspired against me. They subjugated my beloved children. Some are captured and brainwashed, some fought for me and died, some stayed at my side to assist me. I was angry for what they had done to my children." She said as I felt hot beads of water filled with anger rolled down "my" cheeks. It was like I was watching her life through her eyes.

"The gods and goddesses succeeded in their plan to subjugating some of my children and restraining my power. I was demoted from god to a lowly slave on my sister Athena's temple. I was tortured and maltreated. But I thought the pain of losing my children were much more painful than what they had done to me." the landscape changes into a temple with a woman being whipped by a beautiful woman, but her beauty is far inferior compared to the woman who is being maltreated.

" Until. Poseidon the god of waves and ocean, was captivated by my beauty. Poseidon asked me to be one with him and be his wife." The scene again changed into a woman being asked by a muscular handsome man. holding a fork-like a weapon.

"I refused. I know that my sister Athena was deeply in love with him. But I was just merely a slave back then. I was forced and got raped by Poseidon." Her body trembled in fear as she spoke traumatically.

"What's worse is that my sister caught me being raped. she was furious. Poseidon easily escaped in the Ocean as I was left *****. My sister slapped me and cursed me. on that day, My beautiful hair fell and was replaced with snakes that have no will. My golden eyes turned green as they were also cursed to turn those whoever was captivated or feared by my appearance will turn to stone. I was sent into this ruin and was eventually killed by Zeus's trained hero, Hercules. Even in my death, my head was used to strike fear on every creature in this world." She narrated with a dejected tone.

"My last will in my death is to be unified with my children, be one with them again and take my revenge. The last thing that I discovered in my death is that I was unified with my child at the time when I was cursed. they were the snakes that have imbued in the head but they lost their sense." She informed me with sadness on her tone

"I beg you please, awaken them and I will give you the power that you want. Avenge the death of my children and recover their sense for me. Please You take good care of them on my place." she pleaded in pain with determination on her tone.

"In my death, I used all my power to create this system and to isolate all of my child's and to resurrect them. I only managed to awaken only one of my child. Please use it well. I bless your journey young lady" She told with desperation on her voice

I felt my consciousness being pulled back to my body. And then suddenly I gasped for air. like a miracle, the pain I felt in my body was gone. I felt refreshed and more alive again.

Then suddenly.

.

.

.

.

"Are you okay now human" I heard a voice from my left side. A voice of a teenage girl.

I turned my gaze on that direction to see who was speaking but I saw no one.

"Who are you? Show yourself" I asked with fear on my tone. I must be cautious. I don't want to be killed when I just got revived.

"hahaha, Silly human. I'm Galeru the firstborn and the serpent of medicine and life. If you're asking where am I, always remember I'm always attached on your head, literally" I touched my head and felt a smooth and scale-like texture on my head. When I tried to pull it, the smooth Serpent like texture reacted.

"Ouch! Hey, are you trying to kill me?" Galeru reacted to my pull

"oh Sorry... but may I ask Why Are you attached in my head," I asked curiously as I don't want to catch others attention when I walk on the town with a serpent on my head.

" Why did my goddess chose a human that is as stupid as you" He sighed in disappointment.

"Hey what's with that disappointed attitude? I was just asking a casual question." I told him with gry tone.

"well shut your mouth up and I'll explain everything to you, stupid human"

"Hey!"

"My goddess transferred her ownership of the title "Mother of all Serpents" to you. she can't completely remove Athena's curse as almost 75% of her power was taken away. Simply speaking together with the ownership, Some of the goddesses curses also transferred. but worry not, it's just some minor details. You can now order me if you want my identity to be concealed but together with the 50% of my ability and power." He clearly explained to me.

"You can ask the system some of the function of the modified curse" he explained to me clearly

I sighed in relief when he told me that I can conceal his identity. I don't dislike his identity, it's just that I don't want to attract attention. Besides, I was thankful that he saved my life and revived me.

This so-called system gave me a second life and if I would explore and unlock some of its function it will surely help me take my revenge and fulfil Medusa's last wishes. I will never waste this opportunity to take my revenge to end the era of those arrogant gods

"System Explain to me all the so-called skills That I acquired on medusa and guide me to all of your function"
