Luke hesitated for a few moments, but finally decided not to tell Zara about the possibility that she was already pregnant. It was best not to give her false hope, time would tell if the alert issued by the system was true or another of its so frequent failures. Personally, Luke believed it was very possible that it was true, because the system had been modified to a new version, with the specific objective of ensuring that he had offspring.

  "Whatever the future holds for us, we will face it together"Luke finally said, trying to put ao the ive thoughts of the Lunari queen.

  Zara hugged him affeately for a moment longer, and then said"I o take a bath, all the exercise has left my muscles tired"

  Obviously, that was just an excuse, iy the traces of the great battle of the previous night spread throughout several regions of her body, so she o herself as soon as possible. A queen had to maintain a certain appearance.

  Luke lifted her up in his arms, carrying her like a princess, and headed towards the rge bathroom that was o the room. Upoering the room he saw that the rge bathtub was filled with water at the perfect temperature, so he simply entered with Zara and after a few mihey fiheir short bath.Luke behaved like a gentleman and did not try to make ara movements, he had noticed that Zara was not in the best physical dition. There would be time ter for whole nights of exercise.

  After taking a bath, the couple got dressed and together they returo Zara's office, where they had had the hearing the day before.Upoering the room, they found Namira, who was sitting in an armchair with her head down, waiting for them to return.Luke thought "She hasn't been here since yesterday, has she?"

  Zara saw her childhood friend and for a moment her look became plicated.She quickly walked over and sat dowo her, huggiightly.

  Luke watched this se in silence, for some reasomosphere was heavy. It was better not to ask questions and wait, wheime came Zara would tell him the situation.Namira felt the queen's embrad did not resist. For her, it was not a problem to e into tact with people of the same sex, her curse did not cause any harm in that case.She looked up to look at Luke, her eyes were flooded with tears and a little swollen, she had obviously been g for a long time.

  Seeing her in that state, Luke could not help but feel sorry for the beautiful priestess. Maybe it was the system that affected his personality, but at that moment all he wanted was to take her in his arms and make her his woman.

  After f her for a while, the priestess finally calmed his emotions. Zara then took the opportunity to expin what had happened.She stood up and walked to the tral chair, which was her usual seat. After sitting down, she pced her palm oable and a small magie lit up. She brought her face close to the rune and said, "Bring tea." It was a unication spell. This type of spell was one of the most basid any sorcerer could use it.

  Installing these runes on different objects was how sorcerers who did not have enough mana to use bat spells made a living.

  Furthermore, these types of magic gadgets could be used even by ordinary people, sihe amount of mana o activate them was minuscule.In this world, almost all people were born with the ability to use mana.However, not everyone could bee a sorcerer, just as not everyone could bee a warrior and train their body to have superhuman abilities. To be a sorcerer, one he talent to manipute and accumute mana.

  Luke remaianding, just as he had the st time he had been in this room. After a few moments, there was a knock at the door, and a maid came in carrying the tea that Zara had asked for. After p the tea, the maid bowed a.

  Zara took the teacup and took a small sip. With a satisfied expression, she pced the cup oable and said

  "Luke, Namira o tell you some things. Please listen carefully."

  Luke nodded and looked at the priestess, waiting for her to start speaking. However, she remained silent. Now that the time had e, she didn't know where to begin.

  Zara saw that the priestess was fused and didn't utter a word, and sighed.

  "Luke, let me begin the expnation. You, Nami, just listen. When you have something to add, don't hesitate to do so."

  Namira showed an expression of gratitude and nodded. Zara began another round of expnations.

  "First let's start with what happened yesterday. You don't remember what happened, do you, hohe queen said in her flirtatious tone.

  Hearing her refer to Luke in this way, Namira opened her eyes in disbelief. The arrogant queen of the Lunaris had referred to someone in su affeate way?

  Luke didn't feel that such a way of referring to him was wrong. After all, she was his woman!

  He nodded his head.

  "The st thing I remember is being about to leave, when I lost my mind and attacked you two," Luke said without blushing.

  "Exactly, at that moment you lost your mind. I could easily subdue you in that state. We watched with as your dition worsened as the minutes passed.Finally Nami mao realize what kind of problem was that was overwhelming you, and offered to solve it. We guessed that once you had satisfied your lust, you would return to normal. Actually, there are records of simir afflis in the annals of Lunaria."

  Namira felt embarrassed to speak of the subject so openly, and began to move her arms restlessly. Zara paid her no attention and tinued

  "Nami was willing to bee your woman. She was even quite eager to try, but the result was not how she expected. She has had to deal with a curse sihe day she was born. This curse prevents her from having tact with people of the opposite sex. At first she thought that you would be an exception to the rule, sihe st time you had met she did not have these feelings of reje when ing into tact with you. Ihere is no problem for her to have light tact with you, matters such as holding hands are perfectly acceptable and do not cause her curse to activate. But wheried to go oep further to solve your problem, the curse activated with full force, causing her great mental and physical damage."

  Seeing the sad look on the beautiful priestess' face as she listeo Queen Zara's story, Luke couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He could imagine how terrible it must be to live with such a curse. Besides, he had seen Namira's status panel and khat she didn't just have one curse, but three!

  Luke wondered which of the curses was the one affeg her body in such a way. Surely he could help her remove all her curses, but the highest level ones would take a lot more work.

  "I finally had no choice but to step forward and take charge of the situation. After all, we couldn't allow the universal warrior to die in such a stupid way."

  "Well, then I guess I should thank Namira's curse, which allowed me to end up with a beauty like you in my arms!" Luke said without thinking too much.But upon hearing this, Namira felt a pain in her chest. She thought he didn't want to accept her as his woman and was happy that the curse had preveheir union. Her eyes filled with tears, and she ran off towards the door of the room.

  The Lunari queen looked at him reproachfully, thinking that her man was tactless and could say something so hurtful without thinking about the sequences. But Luke didn't care about it since he had already pnned what he would do , from the moment he had ehe room ahe beautiful priestess again. He didn't want to keep doubting about it.

  With a slight movement of his feet, his body disappeared and reappeared in front of the priestess, before she could reach the door of the room. He opened his arms widely and took her in his arms. Namira's soft body, with her voluptuous curves and her sweet st, flooded his senses. His body, which had already satisfied its most primal desires the night before, suddenly reacted again, and he almost lost trol. Luckily, his mental state was much better than the day before, and he had no problem taining the desire that welled up from deep within him.

  "Namira, don't go yet. I have something to tell you," Luke said, huggiightly.

  She struggled a little to free herself from his embrace, but it was only a symbolic struggle and she had no iion of really leaving his arms. Finally, she simply remaiill, feeling the mase st of his body, and the sensation of his firm muscles around her.

  "You asked me a questio time we saw each other alohat day in the gardens. At the time I didn't know how to answer you, but now I uand that ag so indecisive is not lih my personality. With my indecision I have hurt you, so let me express myself clearly and give you an answer."

  The priestess looked up with some fear and shyness, looking into his eyes.He smiled and said

  "Namira, I want you to be my wife! I accept your marriage proposal! From now on I promise to protect you and make you happy."

  Namira covered her mouth with her hand and tears escaped her eyes again, only this time they were tears of joy. How many years had she spent in solitude? How long had she been waiting for this moment? Now, finally, the man who would be her panion had appeared. It was the man in front of her, the ohe dragon goddess had said would e into her life to save her.

  She ed both arms around his ned stood oiptoes to try and kiss him. Before their lips could make tact, however, an enormous pain as if her muscles were twisting and tearing invaded her entire body. She lost trol of her limbs ao the ground on her knees.Luke caught her before she finished falling, but his touly exacerbated the symptoms.Zara appeared at high speed and took the priestess who was about to start vulsing from his arms.

  "For the moment, keep your distance Luke. At least until this episode caused by the curse passes."

  Luke nodded areated a few steps away. Then, while the Lunari queen was attending to the priestess in the distance, Luke took the opportunity to look at the system s.

  *Ding*

  *Alert!*

  *The Host has e into tact with a curse*

  *Demonic curse (level 5) has affected the Host*

  *Removing the ive effects of the curse*

  *Effects successfully removed!*

  Seeing this information on the s, Luke raised his eyebrows in surprise. Had he also been affected by the curse?

  "Syzy, have I been attacked by the curse? This curse doesn't only affeamira?"

  *That's right Host, the Demonic Curse (level 5) has the fun of destroying any person of the opposite sex who es into direct tact with the cursed person. If the curse was not dissolved in time, the Host's "Luck" attribute would be ively affected, leading to an endless series of misfortunes, culminating in the Host's death*

  Upon hearing the effect the curse had on him, Luke became a little worried. That type of curse that attacked luck was the most troublesome, on the trary, if it was simply a bodily affli it would be much easier to deal with.

  "You have removed the effects of the curse, does this mean that I am immuo this specific curse?"

  *That's right, the level of this curse is too low to be able to affect the Host who possesses the power of universal ws. However, if the Host loses this power, the curse will be able to affect him without problems, sihe entity that has imposed such a curse is of a higher level than the Host's current level*

  "The power of universal ws? What exactly is that?"

  *Error. Corrupted Data*

  "Syzy? Give me information on the Universal Laws!"

  *Host, I have no data on that term*

  "But you just told me that it is the power of those ws that prevents the curse from taking effect, you must have at least some information on that!"

  *I have no record of suformation*

  "How did you remove the curse that had invaded me?"

  *Error. Corrupted Data*

  Looking at the information on the s, or rather the ck of information. Luke felt his blood boil. The damn system was bugged again! He would have to keep his doubts about it. Although he had an idea of ??what "The Universal Laws" implied. It was basically the power of the system. As long as the system was active, the curse would have no ce of successfully attag it.Thinking about it like that, Luke's back filled with sweat. Luckily he hadn't tried to make advances on the priestess when the system was dowo berserk mode!

  "Well, nevermind. Syzy, is there any way to pletely remove the curse that has been cast on Namira?"

  *Yes, Host. Demonic Curse (level 5) and Draic Curse (level 8) be removed using Karmic Points. It also be dohrough a Host-geed quest.*

  Self-geed quests were a fun that was unlocked when the system leveled up. Luke could the a goal, and the system would gee a quest to plete, whose reward was that set goal. Sometimes, the system would also grara rewards.Right now, he didn't have the ability to create such quests, so that solution was out of his reach at the moment.

  Oher hand, Karmic points were the currency that the system used. These points could be used for various things within the system interface. They could be exged for items or teiques in the shop, they could be used to era funs of the system, and they could also be used on special occasions, where the system had to a some aspect of the outside world. Curse removal fell uhis st fun.However, his Karmic points were currently zero! Sihe quests did not start giving Karmic points until the system advao level three.

  He still sulted with the system about the costs of removing curses.The answer he got was within his expectations. The points needed could be described in one word. Exorbitant!

  Luke sighed at the uselessness of the system at the lower levels. He would have to start pleting quests to level up.Thinking of that, he turned his mind back to the numerous notifications he hadn't had time to i carefully.He returo the beginning of the series of notifications. After the notification that he had successfully pleted mission number 03 - "diverting a river". There was a notification indig the successful pletion of another mission.

  *Mission 05 - "No more cramps" pleted *

  *Mount obtained: Divine Dragon of Ether*
