Blessed by Night

Before Nyx could speak, Malachi wrapped his arms around his mother and pulled her into his arms.

His body instinctively moved on it's own, and he surprised even himself with his actions. There was a part of him that was surely upset with her for her what she had done but... that part was evidently being drowned out by all of the overflowing love he felt for her. He had already lost one mother before, and he didn't want there to be an unnecessary wedge between he and his second one.

Life was too short for things like that. "Thank you for saving me." he said sincerely. Nyx melted like a young school girl instead of one of the oldest goddesses, and she returned his hug with one of her own. A moment later, she grabbed him by the face and stared up at him with warm eyes full of affection.

"I have to go soon, so let me see my boy's face one last time."

Bit by bit, small particles of what appeared to be dust accumulated onto Malachi's body. A layer of skin was formed right onto the starry mass that made up his being, acting as something of an outer covering. After his body was completely covered, Malachi was back in his normal appearance. Well, almost.

For some reason his bright violet irises were now constantly swirling and shifting, and there was a tattooed pair of wings across his back, the same as Joanne had. But the mark in his forehead that signified his pact with Shear, was no more. Aubrey: "KYYAA! I'm traumatized! TRAUMATIZEDD!!"

Aisha: "I am going to be sick!"

Morgan: "Lad...please put some clothes on..."

Serana: "Wow, mom. I see why you let him have other girlfriends, there's no way you could have handled all that alone."

Sei/Luna/Anna/ Bianca: "Stop looking at it!"

Serana: "I can't help it, it's literally taking up most of my vision! How are any of you even walking prop-"

Sei finally couldn't handle anymore and grabbed her daughter by the bottom lip and covered her eyes. Malachi chuckled as he looked down and realized that he was indeed standing around stark naked. Normally he would have panicked and immediately rushed to cover himself but for some reason, he didn't really see it like it was a big deal. Nevertheless, he manipulated the shadows at his feet and pulled out the kimono that Luna had given him to cover himself. Oddly enough, Nyx pouted a bit as if she did not understand why he had to cover up. "What's wrong? My boy should be proud of his body! He has no equal in the lands above or below this world!"

Looking at Malachi, his girlfriends would have to agree. Bianca and Luna had both seen immortals during their own blessing ceremonies and they knew full well how beautiful they were. But after becoming an avatar, Malachi was somehow head and shoulders above them all.

In the back of their minds, they remembered everything that Nyx had told them beforehand about Mal becoming more passionate, loving, and unstable than before. It was as arousing as it was frightening. Eventually, he noticed the four gazes locked firmly on his body and he smiled so widely that his thin layer of skin nearly split apart.

The longer he looked at the girls, the more he could feel new and overwhelming sensations coming from the depths of his very soul. His women were the most beautiful in the world with no equals under the sun or moon. He loved them so much that it hurt!

He wanted to take them somewhere far away where the five of them could be alone forever, living off nothing but nature and each other's bodies. And he was filled with the most abhorrent rage he had ever known when he thought of another man breathing their precious air or laying their filthy eyes upon them.

The urge was so bad, he accidentally looked at Morgan with a bit of murderous intent, and caused his idol to take a step back out of instinct. Luckily Malachi realized what he had done and smiled sheepishly as he apologized. "Ah... my bad, Morgan."

"Think nothing of it... Though can I ask what that was about?" Even though Morgan said it was no big deal, there was now a distinct lack of color in his face. Again, Malachi gazed lovingly at the four girls who still seemed to be undressing him with their eyes.

"I guess I was just feeling a little bit possessive."

Malachi vanished from his place beside Nyx and reappeared in front of Sei, and he immediately pulled her in for a kiss.

"Mmf?"

In the end, all of Sei's strength left her body as her boyfriend kissed her with an unseen fervor and intensity. It was the most energizing, revitalizing thing that she'd ever done in her life, and she never wanted in to end. Unfortunately, as soon as it seemed to start, Malachi pulled away and gave Bianca the same treatment. He moved through all four of the beautiful women before coming back around for seconds. "Wait a minute!"

In true motherly fashion, Nyx had grabbed Malachi by his hair and pulled him away from a dizzy Anna. "Sorry, but it's probably best if you all don't go any further for tonight."

"""""Why!?"""""

The hormone level of not only Mal but also his girlfriends was practically through the roof.

So why were they being cockblocked!?

"Mal, you don't have very good control over yourself at the moment so once you taste pleasure of some kind, you will likely become addicted and fall into a pit of depravity that you cannot pull yourself out of."

Malachi and the girls fell silent for a moment, as they took in Nyx's startling revelation. It certainly sounded serious, but...

"""""We/I don't really mind that though.""""" All of a sudden, Nyx felt like she was talking to a group of horny middle schoolers instead of adults in a loving relationship. She took a deep sigh and tried to provide an explanation that would be better received. Turning to the girls, she took Luna and Bianca by the hand as she spoke to each one of them at the same time. "Girls, I understand that you have needs but you have to remember that Malachi is different now. He no longer feels exhaustion like you do, so if he gets too into it then there's a possibility he won't ever stop." Finally, the girls seemed to see the underlying issue with engaging in lewd acts so casually. Death by coitus was suddenly a very real and scary possibility. Sei: "I-I guess it can't be helped then..." Anna: "Hurry up and learn to control yourself already... I'm tired of waiting." Bianca: "Me too..!"

Luna: "I'll have you make up for this later." Aubrey: "I am absolutely never fucking coming home again."

Malachi ignored his sister as he made up his mind to become in control of his new emotions as quickly as possible. As Mal contemplated how best to learn to control himself, his mother suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and whispered something into his ear.

"By the way, that favor you asked me for? It will be done tonight."

Again, Malachi's mood only showed more and more improvement as he felt like a huge burden was lifted from his chest. "Well then, I suppose I should take my leave."

Nyx suddenly started to float off the ground, and she waved goodbye to everyone present. Even though this was the first time many people here had met her, they couldn't help but be a little sad to see her go so soon. Perhaps because she sensed that, she would blow everyone present a small kiss goodbye as she vanished from there world. -

A few hours later, Malachi was back in his apartment, his eyes wide open and staring at the ceiling. Surrounding him were all of the sleeping bodies of the women he loved, all snoring peacefully after a long and strenuous night. Not needing to sleep was a really strange thing. Malachi suddenly had so much free time on his hands that he had no real idea what to do with. There was only so much time he could spend robotically scrolling through his phone before he became mind numbingly bored. 'Should I finally start trying to beat that Elden game again?'

'Maybe this would be a good time to catch up on schoolwork...Nah.'

'I should write an online novel or something.'

'I want to have sex...'

Suddenly, Malachi thought of a proper way to use his time and nearly sat up on the bed. He knew what he needed to do, he just needed a quiet place to really focus. And in addition, he didn't want to move and risk waking any of the girls who could be particularly light sleepers. But upon thinking for a moment, he was able to easily come up with a way out of this situation. In an instant, he teleported from his bed and at the same time created a shadowy construct that resembled his body shape and likeness perfectly. Seeing as none of the girls noticed the difference, he knew that he had succeeded in ensuring they stayed asleep. His worries erased, he teleported outside of his room and reappeared outside, floating in the sky. He looked up into the 2am sky and smiled as his outer shell started falling away, his next destination made up. -

Sei couldn't really fathom why, but for some reason her bed didn't really feel as comfortable as it did when she first fell asleep. She tossed and turned hoping to fix her problem without having to open her eyes, but it proved to be to no avail. Eventually, her eyes fluttered open and she realized, she was not in her bed at all. "She's awake." A deep, masculine voice reverberated within her ears and she quickly sat up on the cold floor beneath her. Looking up, she found a scene she didn't think she'd ever get to experience. In a colosseum, rows and rows of divine beings ranging from gods to devils and spirits, were all watching her with looks of clear interest. She was so overwhelmed by the scenery in front of her, her mind had the only natural reaction. She fainted. Webnovel is going to post my novel in the library saturday and I'm honestly panicking a bit. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Whenever they do something big like this it ususally brings a crazy amount of attention and unsurprisingly practically none of it is good. 

I was just starting to feel okay with my writing again but now I'm worried about it being shit on tomorrow.
