Let's take a break, even for a moment, shall we...? I'm currently inside the safe zone, resting im not even with Kyo, Jin, Hugo, or maybe even Esther not even close. I'm stuck in a room with Airis, I know right you might be wondering did she come here to kill me? It's a little complicated so let's play a short flashback to know my situation
"Ugh, this is too boring you expect me to wait quietly in this room for the next week? Do you think im some kind of pet that can be abandoned... At the very least give me some painkillers, my fucking arm stings as hell even after its treatment," Even though he acts helpless, in front of these two where his words weren't reaching their hearts
"Boss, as much as we want to be with you we can't... We're going to another location before our final evaluation has ended," Kyo's tail never once wave and came to be down which reflects his current mood filled with nothing but despair
"It's as Kyo said, Mr. Morris, I humbly ask you to wait until we arrived, you wouldn't want your left arm to be in that state forever right?" Blake gave him a few painkillers and they left him alone in the infirmary
'How should I explain this after Jin's familiar connects the nerves of my left arm, I suddenly felt an intense pain coursing through my head. It looks like it wasn't just a cut, Seper's attack did a number on my arm but that's an understatement of what he did. That motherfucker turned my left arm into tiny bits of pieces comparable to a sushi set,'
'What about drinking a healing potion? Dude, I would've done that if that were the case, that potion can only speed up a person's healing abilities. Regeneration and healing are two different factors and im left bedridden until im fully recovered. This is why im stuck inside this room for an entire week, I wish there was a way to speed things up. I can't be in such a sorry-ass state when there's a literal reader who can shit on my stories plot,'
[I can't believe someone that got his heart pierced, got killed by his spell, and blew himself up to beat a redhead would cry over a single arm? Hahahahaha, sometimes I tend to forget but you're still a fragile human, even though you possess a heart of a demon. Tell you what, if you can find a way to amuse me I can help you right here and now]
"Laugh it up once im out of here, I'll find a way to torment you," He reached for the streaming function that had Sage's icon as a means of threatening to block him and he was found to be silence
'Where's Jin you might ask? He's busy at the moment, well we can't survive in the world of trials with just a few tokens. Plus our old job doesn't exist here, im an ex-writer and now became a private mercenary, and his an ex-content editor and now a blacksmith,'
'While I make some money off of the commission given to me by Agni, an important character of my book. Jin, on the other hand, has a more delicate job ahead of him. Being a blacksmith might be amazing in creating weapons and equipment but that's only the tip of the iceberg. It's a tough and way more demanding job compared to a mercenary... But if he can make something like that sword I can't concern myself, with his condition,'
He gazes at the black sword that was placed near his bed, he was concentrated on the sword and he hadn't caught her presence. Esther approaches him from his back and he was startled and in response casts a spell aimed at his back. Before his incantation was about to release his spell, she stopped him before he wrecks the building with his might
"It's me, Morris you need to calm down," She called his name and was relieved upon hearing the voice of his comrade
"Esther I thought you were with Kyo?" He was surprised by his discovery when he sees her in front of him carrying a tray filled with food
"Didn't they tell you that they're going on a trip? I never said anything about me joining them," She replied once she fully canceled his chant
"I know about that why are you here?" He was met with silence and not a word would escape her mouth. Before she could even reply, Esther placed the tray on his chest, and soon after that she spoke
"You see, I kind of passed the first test with flying colors and I was officially put into the roster. The two of them manage to fail to meet the requirements and they were given a second chance... That's all I know, now open your mouth can't eat with your condition,"
Her hands reached his face and gently assist him in opening his mouth whilst she tries to feed him with a spoonful of soup
But amid such a process, she collapsed and Morris responded by creating a copy of himself. The mirage catches the tray along with Esther who collapsed with not a hint of warning for him to detect. He was curious about her condition and he checks her temperature before he appraises her whole body if any irregularities occurred
His worries disappeared when he sees the cause of her collapse was not in any way related to some sort of infection. There wasn't anything strange but his appraisal notices a lot of pressure previously etched in her neck and in seconds she appeared
The mercenary queen is known for her sadistic nature and murderous tendencies Velvet Airis appeared on the back of his bed. He wasn't able to move since his body needed rest and he wasn't able to avoid his head being caressed
Her hand would travel from his head and goes to latch itself in his face before she changed her posture. Her body meets the surface of the bed and pressed against his body and hugged him till her chest was pushed into his back. He could feel its plump and voluptuous assets colliding in his body and even for a little his body manages to react
[Status: The player is being deeply affected by an external object!!! His nether regions are hardening and one of his limbs grew to be stiff]
"It's a pleasure to finally know you Spell thief or should I call you, Christ it's such a cute name," Airis latched onto his body while she rubbed her skin along with him inhaling the scent scattered in the shop. Before he was unable to resist the effects of the scent he aimed a spell at her along with a menacing glare
"To think that the almighty Velvet queen would attack a defenseless man... I thought you'd play fair. And here you are now ambushing me in my lowest point," He replied to her answer while Airis holed his hand that was gathering a ton of mana before she blew some wind onto his ear
[Snap out of it! This is the art of seduction it's one of the most deadly tactics... It's an art where they use any means such as stimulating scented fragrances and bodily features to in means enticing them until they're attacked. Don't be fooled by her beauty, there's a lot of fish in the river, it doesn't have to be this psycho!!!]
"I'm not here to fight you Christ I just want to return a favor, to think that an enemy would gladly take pity on me do you crave me?" Airis bites his neck while she continues to caress his half-naked body that was sensitive to her touch due to the odor in the air
[Appraisal: Airborne Crescent flare detected Odorless and affecting the player's body making it more sensitive than ever]
"What kind of favor it is? I don't need it...! Get the hell away from me!!!" His eyes were filled with bloodlust when he meets with her own and in an instance, it shows his awful personality for all to see
"What a beautiful glow in your eyes, I wasn't joking when I said that I'll return the favor," With a swing of a butter knife that she found in his tray she cut the cast placed in his arm revealing a horrific state of his limb
'Now that I think about it, I never saw how my arm was cut seeing it in person it's perfectly cut... It's like im seeing a famous sushi chef at work the way he cut my arm was in a way that I can no longer think if attaching this back. It looks like a ton of sushi that was pieced together with some glue, just imagining it makes me wanna throw up... Ow! What did she inject inside my arm...? Wait the swelling isn't there, I can move it without any problem,'
[System: You've been injected with sacred milk from a magical beast Licowrus that's known to heal any ruptured bones and heal a person's internal wounds]
"This is the Velvet queen's gratitude I loved to stay for a while but something important came about by the time I came here. The auction house that everyone is going to has been announced and today's the day. Would you like to accompany me?" Airis hands over a ticket that he quickly appraised due to his issues with her and he did the unthinkable and accepted her bait
[The auction house it's been a long time since I last saw one. Did you know that this place was filled with a lot of weirdos they often sell body parts, blood, and even people. As long as they have some value, you can sell anything]
"Do you see anyone here who asks?" He looked around the auction with its magnificent and elegant style
"A black hair without a mask is your perfect disguise... I'm not judging I always wanted to see the face of the man that defeated me," Airis grab a hold of his arms and dragged him to their seat
'And that's how I came across Airis and it's worth it, do you know how long the system holds an auction house? It's not that much and this is why my mc isn't here, he's broke he doesn't have the money to bid on a single item. And that's why im here, there might be some hidden goods and I can buy some whilst the others have no clue of their use,'
"I'm a little curious how did you get a hold of my identity, I'm not a person who'll leave any clues behind," He tries to pull away from her grass but it only make her tighten her grip on his arm with a heavier weight
"Do you know that I have an alliance with the Persevis cult where you want to sign in as a hidden member? We all know that you'll need to reveal your identity to join them and as an influential person. I just wave a ticket in front of Persevis and he told me everything that he knows," Airis said while she waves to her left revealing Persevis and Hyunsu's location
'Hyunsu... That fucking bastard if I find that you're involved in my identity leaking to the mercenary a queen I'll personally manage your funeral service!!!'
