Chapter 5: An interesting idea,

  After a quick glance outside, Levi came back inside. He slowly got to the girl’s side, at a reasonable distance, and stayed on his feet, obediently. He did not cause a commotion in the slightest. In fact, he was so silent that his breath could barely be heard.

  Judging by everything that happened, a normal person would freak out, try to run, or start to ask various questions, overwhelmed by negative emotions.

  All that did not apply to Levi. He was by no means a normal individual, and his behavior clearly showed that.

  He was obviously afraid of pain, and danger, however, his curiosity and excitement were far greater. Despite that, running carelessly, or causing any commotion among people that could instantly snap his neck wouldn’t be a wise move.

  The girl gave him a long look, clearly not expecting his behavior to be so composed.

  Levi looked calm, but his brain and heart were on overdrive. Every small detail in his surroundings was carefully analyzed, and a few explanations for his current situation already took shape. Some of them seemed a little far-fetched, but at this point, common sense had to be modified.

  Leisurely sitting on the bed, the barbarian girl took out a bright gem the size of a nut. After a few moments, the bright red gem became even brighter, and started to emanate red energy. It was quite the sight.

  ‘What is that?’ Levi’s whole attention was on the scene that was currently unfolding in front of his eyes.

  Most of the energy entered the girl’s body, while some dispersed all around. The further the energy travelled from the gem, the thinner, and less visible it became. Some of it reached Levi’s body as well.

  ‘This’

  His body was like a dry sponge that came into contact with water for the first time in a while. Levi watched with wide eyes as his body slowly absorbed the energy.

  Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  He could step back, and avoid it, however, his curiosity made him freeze in place. After a few dozen minutes, his body started to feel better and more energetic. It was like drinking a few liters of coffee.

  ‘Marvelous!’

  Just as he expected, the energy was having a positive effect on his body. Unconsciously, he moved closer towards that gem. The girl gave him a cold look, making it obvious she wasn’t pleased by his actions.

  Levi came to an abrupt stop. No matter how curious he was, getting closer to the barbarian after receiving such a cold look would be just pure recklessness. A few drops of sweat came down his face, and fell to the ground.

  Unless she gave him another cold glance, Levi decided not to step back. Minutes soon turned into hours, and before he even noticed, it was already the next morning. Despite sitting all that time on his feet, and not sleeping at all, Levi felt more energetic, and stronger than ever.

  Alas, the energy from that gem became weaker with each passing hour until it barely emitted any energy at all.

  ‘What an extraordinary thing…’ From a scientific approach, that little gem was full of mysteries, and was basically screaming ‘come and research me!'

  ‘This…’ That little gem was actually very similar to the device he worked his entire life to create. The difference was, however, that that little gem appeared to be in its natural form, and a product by nature.

  ‘What if I could also absorb energy from that device of mine that stores electrical energy?’

  The thought came like a huge boulder smashing against his head. From what he currently witnessed and experience, such a situation wasn’t impossible.

  ‘I just need to convert that energy to something similar to this…’ his eyes glanced again on that little gem.

  The implications were huge, and a successful experiment could change the entire human society.

  The girl got up from the bed, and started to stretch her body. The various positions put her enticing body on full display. Levi’s thoughts were distracted. Her exquisite body shapes, together with her beauty and the huge amount of energy that still lingered on his body, made for quite the reaction. Levi’s body heated up, and he got a full boner in a matter of seconds.

  ‘What?!’ his body reaction was pretty much automatic, and he couldn’t stop it no matter how much he tried to focus.

  ‘I guess I’m totally healthy,’ thought Levi, laughing inside. He was also a little embarrassed by what happened. Dropping to the side, he started to do push-ups. That energy had to be put to good use. Considering that the people he saw were absolute human freaks, having a little more physical strength could prove to be quite handy(.)
