《The undead who yearned for life》24-Rewards

When I came out of the dimension, I found the Goddess waiting for me... I know that because of the difference in time it should've been only a moment for her, but why does it feels like she's waiting here for an eternity?
Well, in the end albeit she doesn't normally shows it, she's still a Goddess that is as old as this world and one of her aspects is .
The moment she felt me, it was like she just came back to life... are we really sure that time in my dimension is stopped?
The Earth Goddess ran towards me asking: -ne, ne, you finished right? you stayed in your dimension for quite some time-.
Her words surprised me: "you can feel how much time I worked in my dimension? How?"
-Well, I am the Earth Goddess, even though I can't tell what you did in tere, I know for how long you manipulated my element, so I can give a rough estimate, am I not a genius?- she answered to me.
What's the use of being a genius when you are a Goddess that can do what she wants? I wanted to retort, but it would be useless to tell it to this child, so I let it slide: "Can you come in my dimension to take a look at your new playgr- house?".
-I don't know, my sister always told me not to go to other people dimension, because in there I would be at disadvantage and they would be able to harm me-.
"Don't worry, as long as you're with me nothing will happen to you, and don't you want to see your new house? I promise that you will be surprised". Why do I feel like an uncle trying to bribe a child to go with him with candies?
-You're sure that you won't be a meanie and make me disappear, right?-
Gah, this is a critical hit, I don't know which of her sisters told her that, but it seems that even Gods can be killed, one way or another, though I'd need to lure one of them in my dimension to have an advantage... fortunately I don't have any grimances with the Gods, so it should be safe.
"Cmon, no one will be mean to you, I'll also teach you the functions of your new house and how to use them, ok?"
As I said that, she nodded multiple times, so I erected four walls and made it looks like the entrance to one of those fancy elevator found in five star hotels (http://imgur.com/kNMxfK0), of course I also gave it the function of a normal elevator (but because I wasn't going to use it to go up and down, the only function was that when you press the button, the doors will open), after wich I engraved the usual word.

Congratulations, because of your efforts, you developed the skill Magic electronic construction
Congratulations, because of your efforts, you developed the skill Magic programming
Congratulations, the skills Magic construction, Magic electonic construction and Magic programming fused to become Magic science
Because of the synergy between the skill Magic science and Endless memory, the skill Magic science starts at grandmaster lv1
Well, this is good, later I need to check all my new skills, for now let's resummon the entrance to my dimension and complete this request, so I can get the reward.
Once the Earth Goddess found her new playground, she looked back at me with sparkling eyes as if asking if that was really her new home; by the time I nodded, she was already flying between the planets, after some time she came back to ask what most of the buildings were, so I had to show her.
I passed a week to show her how to use the various attractions of the theme park, and while she really liked everything, the ones she liked most were the classic carousel, the bumper cars and the video games... I think I might have created a neet Goddess, what's more, she broke most of my records in the games.
Because she liked them so much, I created another room and recreated all the games I remember (only the ones that didn't need to read, else I would have to teach her), though the plan backfired and when I asked her about the reward, she said that I had to beat her ten times at a fighting game for the reward.
I have to say, I had to create a gamepad custom-made for me and although I beat her the first two times, by the third it was not easy, by the fifth time she had the same skill as me and by the tenth time I had to hack my way through the game, fortunately she didn't understand that I was cheating... and even then it ws a close call.
And so here I am, again in the normal Hell, waiting for a Goddess to finish sulking.
..............................................................................Two hours later...................................................................
-You meanie, you didn't even let me win one time-
Well, if I had her win one time, I'm not sure that the next time I could win without some kind of serious handicap or powerful cheat, she was able to do the final hidden move of the hero guy after all, I knew it existed, but no one was able to perform it in my old world and was left in the game only as a joke.
"eeeh, but you promised that if I won ten times against you, you would give me the reward, you're not going to go back on your word, right?".

-My sister said that if you promise someone something, then you need to maintain it, so tell me, you have a -.
Mmm... in the best case the medium favour would multiply the rewards by ten, but I think it's only wishful thinking, the most probable amount of rewards should double, while in the worst case scenario it adds a random amount of reward.
Let's go with the most probable choise, at worst I'll know for the next time: "I want the lightning and neutral affinities, and I also want knowledge; I want to know everything about the various metals, specially how they're used and how they forms in nature. I also want to know how to write and read in every language ever existed and will exists in this world".
-I have a question, what do you mean with will exists?- I don't know why but the Goddess is making a very strange face right now.
"I mean that if during the time I live a new language is created, you'll update my skill so that it will comprend it; as long as you know, I'll know too. This until the time I die".
-OK, then, then, I need to tell you if your reward can be granted, let me check-.
I have the feeling that she's asking someone about my reward, I only hope that it will not require a lot of time.
......................................30 minutes later.........................................
-My sister says that I can grant you the wish, because the lightning affinity is 1/6 of the reward, this is because I'm strong against lightning- as she said it, she puffed her cheeks in pride.
-the neutral affinity is 2/6 of the reward, while the knowledge about me for both metals and the languages is another 3/6 of the reward because you made me play... ah, no, I wasn't supposed to tell you that-.
As her cheeks are now being completely dyed red, I let out a chuckle, she's quite cute when she's embarassed.
-MOU, because you dare to not take seriously a Goddess, from now on when I finish the games you will make more, or face my wrath- saying that a ball of light separates from the Goddess and enters in me and she disappear.
Knowledge is flowing in me about metals, alloys, techniques to forge and languages, though it's not painful I'm feeling dizzy.
The Earth Goddess granted your wish, from now on you can use the and the ; you also receive all her knowledge about metals and written languages.
Congratulations, because of your knowledge, you gained the skill Metal control
Congratulations, because of your knowledge, you gain the skill Ultimate blacksmith
Because of the synergy between the skill Magic science and Ultimate blacksmith, the skill Magic Science absorbed the skill Ultimate blacksmith
Congratulations, because of your knowledge, you gained the title
Congratulations, because of your knowledge, you gained the title

Re-Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times.. So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ I'm kind of a catastrophe when it comes to ethic and drive. So don't be alarmed if there isnt an update for a week or three. Or if there is three updates at once. It's a rewrite of the Rehammer that is around, which means the start is mostly the same with some small changes. Chapter 15 is the first fully new chapter of the book. though Chapter 14 has a large addition. You effectively can skip to that and not missing anything major if you read the old one, if you don't wanna rewrite.
