Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1418

Chapter 1418: Choice

As god, Atticus could feel each of their emotions. They were open and sincere.

Atticus smiled. ’Maybe it won’t hurt to loosen up a bit.’

It was then he finally realized...

’I don’t know how to dance.’

He might have been able to wing it if it were slow music. But this? Not a chance.

He cleared his throat. ’I can’t embarrass myself.’

Seconds passed, and the cheers reached a fever pitch. Atticus realized there was no escape.

’Here goes. I’m a god. I can’t be that bad... right?’

And so, in the midst of roaring laughter and cheers, Atticus took his first step, and the crowd exploded.

...

The party stretched deep into the night.

The God of Eldoralth dancing had stirred up far more attention than anyone could have imagined.

Word spread fast. Those present eagerly told others about Atticus’ "impending dance," and soon, a flood of people arrived at the hill.

The once low-key gathering turned into a full-blown festival. The mansion could no longer contain the growing crowd, so the celebration spilled onto the hill, lanterns lighting the slope like a sea of stars.

Atticus had only danced for about five minutes before Anastasia decided he’d suffered enough.

The thunderous cheers that followed made it impossible for him to tell whether he’d actually done well... or if everyone was just being polite.

As the night wore on, Atticus noticed faces he hadn’t seen in ages, old classmates, human paragons turned Eldorians, even some he’d barely spoken to.

Eventually, the party mellowed into soft background music and quiet conversations beneath the glowing sky.

...

"You can’t even come say hi to your favorite aunt!"

Before he could react, Lyanna pulled Atticus into a tight hug.

"Hey, At," Nathan whispered from the side, "blink twice if you need help."

Lyanna shot him a glare. "You fat blob of meat! Why would he need help!?"

Nathan raised his hands. "The world’s dangerous these days. Just making sure my beautiful money maker is free of troubles."

Lyanna stepped closer, eyes narrowing. "He’s just hugging me! What kind of trouble could that be!?"

Nathan backed up slowly, eyes darting between her and Atticus. Then, with ’subtlety’, he blinked twice at Atticus.

Lyanna froze. "Did you just blink twice!?"

"What!? No!" Nathan said quickly, then blinked twice again.

"You!"

"Shit!" Nathan yelped, his body instantly dissolving into the ground like sand.

"You won’t escape!" Lyanna’s body shimmered into frost and dispersed into the air after him.

"Tsk, tsk... sometimes I wonder if they’re actually as old as they claim to be."

Atticus turned to find Sirius standing nearby, shaking his head.

"Aren’t they your comrades?" Atticus smiled. "That would make you a child too."

"You’ve always had a sharp mouth," Sirius replied, amused. "Good to see that hasn’t changed."

Atticus chuckled. Memories of his training with Sirius flashed through his mind.

"You struck me as a child the first time we met. Remember? You hit me out of nowhere."

"You were a five year old who’d already awakened. Someone had to knock that ego down."

"And now?"

Sirius took on a thoughtful expression. "A twenty year old god of Eldoralth. Sounds about right to me."

Their eyes met, and in the next instant, they both burst into laughter.
