Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!

Darius was now devoid of any sound as he could only stay still as he felt himself being guided by the Void toward no particular direction.

At least, he wasn't on the verge of dying, so there's that.

Still, Darius couldn't help but curse the Goddess in the back of his mind since she had been the one who had made a mistake with the portal.

There was also another problem.

Time.

Because of where he was and his current situation, Darius had literally no idea what was currently happening outside of this world. He had no idea how much time he had been since he had been thrown in this place.

Hours, minutes, seconds…

Everything was so strange when there was no indication of how much time was passing by.

There was no cycle of life in the Void; the sun wasn't going up or down.

And Darius' watch, well, it had stopped working ever since he had entered the Void.

In this short story, Darius wanted to leave this place as fast as possible because once the girls noticed his disappearance, they would surely panic.

He also had to appear in the movie, for which he had been cast as the main lead, in a day or two.

There was no doubt in Darius' mind that he needed to leave this place as fast as possible, or else he was bound to be in big trouble.

'Hey, are you there? Can you tell me how much time it has been since I entered that portal?' Darius asked, the voice in his mind.

However, like in the past minutes, he didn't receive any answers from her. She was dead silent, probably busy trying to find a solution to the current problem.

'At least she didn't abandon me,' Darius thought, knowing that Gods and Goddesses probably didn't care that much about him.

After all, he was just a normal human being, that's it.

Then, he stayed immobile within the Void. Not doing anything worthy of nothing down.

[I think I found someone who could potentially help us bring you to me.]

"Who?"

[Another Goddess, however, she…well, isn't exactly as nice as me. So, be careful around her.]

"Yeah, but what's her name, and what are her powers?"

Darius already knew that it was a Goddess. However, he wanted to know more about her person before he went and met her.

[Well, it's Persephone. She's one of the most powerful Goddesses in the universe. Her powers mainly revolve around Death. Either way, make sure to be careful around her, and try your best not to let her touch you.]

"Why? What will happen if she touches me?"

[Don't worry about it. Just don't let her touch you.]

Darius nodded as he wanted the answer, but he knew that he wouldn't get it no matter what. It was annoying, but there was nothing else that he could do at the moment.

"Then, before you send me to her. Can you tell me how much time has passed ever since I entered here?"

[Oh, that. Don't worry about time; it doesn't pass quickly in The Void or in the personal spaces of Gods and Goddesses. You could spend months in here and come back with only a few seconds having passed.]

Hearing that made Darius feel much better about this whole thing. It was like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Alright, then, what are we waiting for? Send me in her personal space."

[You'll have to be the one to do that. She's near your position; it should take less than five minutes to reach her position.]

Darius frowned and started looking around as best he could, trying to find another star seemingly calling out to him. That's when he noticed a Black Star.

Darius had no idea why he could see a Black Star in the Void since everything was Dark to begin with, but he did. That's all that mattered.

'Is Persephone's star black?' Darius asked his Goddess.

[Yes. Go there, she is waiting for you. Don't get fooled by her. I have already made a deal with her. You don't have to give her anything. You'll just have to talk to her.]

Darius nodded as he started moving his limbs as fast as possible.

As he started to move, he started swimming in her direction. Darius figured out that it was the best way to move in the Void.

Nevertheless, within a few minutes, just like Darius' Goddess had said, he was right in front of the Black Star.

'I'm in front of it. What do I do now?' Darius asked.

[Touch it.]

Darius brought his hand forward with extreme care, unsure what would happen next. After all, as far as he could tell, Persephone's star was the only one that didn't light up at all.

It was most likely related to her Death Affinity, but that was only a hypothesis. Maybe something strange was going on inside her world.

Nevertheless, when Darius touched the Black Star, he frowned.

The texture of the star's outer shell was definitely strange—it felt gluey. However, Darius didn't mind it as his entire arm suddenly went through the star, and then his body followed. Finally, he had entered the Black Star, where a single individual was waiting for him.

It was a tall, beautiful lady with long black hair falling all the way to her plump ass. Darius didn't even guess; the person in front of him was Persephone. She was wearing a long black dress that fit her absolutely perfectly, showing off her features perfectly.

She was currently sitting around a small black table, sipping tea.

"Ariel told me about your problem. I've been waiting for you, the child who came back from the dead."

'Ariel? That's the name of my Goddess?' Darius thought with a frown. 'Is that true? Are you Ariel?'

Persephone smiled. "Oh, she hadn't told you her name. Oh well, that's too bad. Don't bother trying to contact her in here, she won't be able to respond to you. Either way, come, come. We have a lot to talk about."
