The narrator tells us that he's been "outstand-ing" ever since he was a little boy. He's always been good-looking and perfect, but he never loses to anyone. He says that when he was 18 years old, he realized that he was different from the other boys in his class. One of his cousins was 13 years younger than him, and the narrator asks him what he was doing there. The narrator explains that his grandfather told him that his family's god had graced them with his love for generations, and that things like wars or fluctuations in the economy were nothing for the god. So, since the gods power was so great, the clan wouldn't be able to last long if it didn't have his love. But when the grandfather summoned him, he told the narrator that he would be the heir to the clan if he could only have sex with one of the gods chosen people. This was supposed to be a blessing, but it turns out that it's actually a curse.
