My boots crunched over fallen leaves, damp earth clinging to my steps. The air was crisp with morning chill, but my body… still burned. Burned from the memory, the hunger, the ache pulsing between my thighs since st night.

  “Damn it…” I muttered, rubbing the bridge of my nose.

  But it wasn’t going away.

  This body—new, powerful, cursed with a fire that refused to cool.

  [Status: Heavily Aroused]Side Effect: Aggression +15%, concentration -10%I gripped the hilt of my sword tighter and sighed. I needed release. Badly. But that’d have to wait.

  A scream tore through the woods.

  “SOMEONE—HELP—!”

  I spun around and bolted.

  I found her just past the ridge.

  A young girl—torn clothes, trembling under the roots of a giant tree. Her body was small and fragile. She was crying.

  Three goblins surrounded her. Filthy, snarling things. One was already pulling at her shirt.

  My blood boiled.

  “Back off!” I shouted, leaping into view.

  They all turned to me, sneering with jagged teeth.

  “More meat!” one of them cackled. “We feast tonight!”

  I drew my sword, feeling heat build in my limbs.

  “Fme Drive!”

  My bde burst into fire, and I charged the first one.

  “GRRRAAH—!” he roared before my sword cleaved into him. Fmes consumed his twisted body.

  The second came at me with a rusty knife.

  “Hyaaah!!” I spun and kicked him hard in the chest. Bones cracked. He smmed into a tree, blood spraying from his mouth.

  The st one screamed and lunged with a crude spear.

  “Piercing Edge!”

  My bde struck true—right through his neck. A sickening gurgle as green blood gushed out.

  Silence followed.

  I stood there panting, drenched in sweat, the burning edge of my sword crackling in the cool air.

  She was still there, curled up and shaking.

  I sheathed my sword and approached.

  “It’s over” I said gently.

  She peeked at me with wide eyes. Her face was dirty, scratched, but beautiful. Big dark eyes shimmered with tears.

  “A-are you… here to help me?”

  I nodded. “You’re safe now”

  She bit her lip. “Thank you…”

  I knelt beside her. “Are you hurt?”

  She shook her head. “Not really. I can walk”

  When I touched her shoulder, she flinched—then looked at me. Her eyes locked with mine.

  “My name’s Rika” she whispered. “What’s yours?”

  “Rei. Rei Virellia”

  A tiny smile appeared on her lips. “You’re strong… and handsome”

  My cheeks flushed. Before I could respond, she wrapped her arms around me.

  Her chest pressed into mine. Soft. Warm. Sweet gods…

  “Rika…?”

  She pulled back slightly, just enough to meet my eyes.

  “Can I… thank you properly?” she asked.

  “I—what do you mean—?”

  Her hand slid down my waist, fingers brushing the bulge in my pants.

  It twitched violently in response.

  “This… has been like this since earlier, hasn’t it?” she whispered.

  “Rika, you don’t need to—”

  “I want to,” she said, voice husky.

  She lowered herself to her knees, pulling open my pants. My cock sprang free—fully erect, throbbing hard.

  “Wow… it’s huge…” she murmured, blushing.

  Her tongue flicked out, licking the tip slowly.

  “Ahh… R-Rika…”

  She gripped the base and began stroking it, slow and steady. Her lips opened, wrapping around the head.

  “Sluurp… mmhh… haaah…” Her mouth was hot, wet, perfect.

  “Nnghh… easy… that’s—ahhh…”

  She licked all the way down my shaft, then back up, taking more each time.

  “Suck… harder… damn…”

  Her rhythm quickened. The lewd, wet noises echoed in the trees.

  “Sllrp… glck… mmhh…!”

  I was trembling. Her tongue danced like she was starving.

  “I’m… I’m gonna—!”

  She didn’t stop. If anything, she sucked harder.

  “Nnnnnnghh—AHH!”

  My climax hit like thunder. My body seized. I shot thick spurts into her mouth and she swallowed all of it, eyes closed, cheeks flushed.

  She licked her lips, panting. “Delicious…”

  Before I could say anything, she crawled up to kiss me. Our tongues met, my taste still fresh between us.

  “I want more…” she whispered.

  I gently id her down, undressing her slowly. Her skin was soft, thighs trembling.

  “Take me, Rei…”

  I lined myself up and pushed in slowly.

  “AAAHN…!” she cried out, arching beneath me.

  So tight… so warm… her body welcomed me.

  “You’re… too big… it’s stretching me…”

  I thrusted, hips spping into hers. She moaned louder.

  “Pp! Pp! Pp!”

  “Ahhh! Rei… deeper… faster…!”

  Her arms wrapped around me. My mouth moved to her neck, biting softly as I pounded into her.

  “Nnnghh! Rika… you feel amazing!”

  “Don’t stop… don’t stop—AH!”

  We moved in perfect rhythm. Moans filled the air.

  “I-I’m close…!” she gasped.

  “Me too—!”

  One final thrust, and we exploded together.

  After, we y beneath the trees, tangled and warm. The forest around us quieted.

  Rika rested her head on my chest.

  “I don’t know why… but I want to stay with you”

  I smiled and held her close.

  “Then come with me”

  And in that moment… I wasn’t alone anymore.
