The birthday gift to end all gifts

*Yawn*

Lucien Vale woke up groggy and tired on his bed.

On his side, a girl was curled up fast asleep under a thin sheet of white blanket. Needless to say, they were both naked.

Lucien scratched his head as she looked down at the girl.

He had to remember her name before she woke up—girls tended to get picky when he forgot trivial details like that.

Unfortunately, Lucien couldn't remember much of what happened last night.

All he remembered was cracking open a smuggled in centaur-wine as a celebration for his birthday last night and...here he was.

"God's, my head hurts..."

Lucien carefully got out of bed as not to wake up the mysterious girl and got into his slippers.

The entire Cabin 10 was a mess. There were several other bodies sprawled around, all asleep with minimum clothes on if any.

Discarded clothes, some food and drinks and condoms—both used and unused—were scattered on the floor as well.

It was normal for a party held in Aphrodite's Cabon to eventually become one great orgy, unless Chiron came in to stop the fun.

"...hmm?"

Then, Lucien spotted an unwrapped present ledt on the table.

It seemed clean and untouched, which made it stand out in the middle of the scene of debauchery surrounding it.

Lucien carefully tip-toed over to the present. He didn't want to accidently step on a used rubber and get his feet soaked.

The box had a small tag attached at the bow of the ribbon.

Lucien frowned. He was fairly certain he had checked all of the gifts given to him. He was not one to hold back on the good stuffs given to him.

He took off the tag and read it.

Dear, Lucien Vale

For your excellent display of devotion for my relm, I bestow you one of the most powerful magical items in my possession.

Have Fun!

~ Love from, Your mother.

P.S. I've seen your cock last night, hon. You can come to see me when you feel like it~

"...wow, your own son too?"

Lucien muttered.

His thumb ran over the lipstick mark at the end of the message.

But then again, he was also grinning in excitment of the prospect of banging the literal goddess of beauty.

So what if having sex with your mom was a taboo? Aphrodite was all about being open-minded and progressive.

Such trivial things as social righteousness wouldn't stop nobody under Aphrodite's name!

That message alone was already the best gift given to him, so Lucien eagerly unwrapped the present and looked inside.

"That's...is that a ring?"

Lucien picked up a pair of gold earrings.

It was shaped like N's, but aside from that and being surprisingly light, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Lucien frowned.

There was no way Aphrodite would lie to him about giving a special item. The goddess may like playing pranks from time to time, but straight-up lying was something she seldom did.

Lucien looked inside the box again and found a piece of parchment.

He picked it up and read it.

This is a Reality Earring.

First thing first, you can wear it without piercing your earlobes. Isn't that amazing?

Anyway, it also grants the wearer to warp reality to their taste. Whatever you do while wearing this earring, it will be considered normal. Noone would think twice about it.

You can also change the social consensus with the word 'Normal'. For example, if you declare that it is normal for girls to show their tits in front of you, that suddenly becomes normal.

Yoy can also split one earring with another, granting the other wearer an immunity to the reality warping. But unless you lose both, you're still in charge of warping realities.

Be warned, it is different from Charmspeaking.
You can't **** others to do something that is normal.

People will sometimes still feel uncomfortable or even angry of the 'normal' things you do, they just don't have a justifiable reason to stop you.

But I'm sure you can cleaverly work around such limitations, right?

Good luck~

"...holy shit."

Lucien smiled broadly after he finished reading the instruction.

Indeed, this pair of earrings were one of the most powerful artifacts he had ever seen!

Sure, it had its limits, but that was just an extra challenge for him to **** the full potential of the earrings.

Lucien eagerly put the earrings on. They snapped on to his ears without any pain.

He was about to think up of the grand first step to thr new reality he would shape when someone called his name from his back.

"...Lucien? Why are you wearing an earring?"
