It was late in the evening by the time I finally made it home. The sun was completely gone and the dark night had almost fully settled in.
I had just enough spaghetti leftovers to whoof down from the one I cooked in the morning before I quickly dragged myself off to bed-but not to sleep.
Sitting upright on my bed, I snatched the book on my nightstand open right to the place where I had placed the only bookmark I had in.
The images of the activities done in the afternoon were still wafting through my head and the last thing I wanted was to have another hard on, one I would be tempted to solve myself.
{The Suffering of a Cultivation Weakling} That was the name of the book, but unlike it's name, I particularly enjoyed the sexy scenes in it.
The Main character though was really pathetic and weak and with his meridians damaged, he found it hard to cultivate and worse of all, whatever he cultivated was always stolen away by women that saw him as the easy prey he was.
The only good thing was that everytime he lost his energy to those women, the scenes would get even hotter, as they all looked for ways to wreck him even more.
One in particular, one of the Guild leader's daughters even began researching a way in which she could use his soul to nourish her body when it was found that his soul energy, could not only purify those of beast, but could even stop the fatal explosion of energy and mama in a human's body.
Even the men weren't any different and treated him like absolute shit. A better name for the book would have been
{The Mana Slave of the Continent of Escalaba}
Still I, loved it enough to desperately want to finish it and find out how it ended.
As much as I denied it to myself, watching the Main character's suffering was the essence of the book which somewhat makes me a sadist since I quite enjoyed it.
I read a few pages filled with some pretty ingenious BDSM methods done by women to the MC before finally laying back in my bed to get some sleep.
I slept pretty late and I didn't set my alarm, especially since the following day was a weekend and a Saturday which meant that I didn't wake up until it was almost noon.
Ben's persistent calling which I had been unconsciously swiping off finally got to me as I grudgingly grabbed my phone and picked.
"What?" I sleepily yelled into the phone only to hear a light hearted chuckle as a response, one that showed the person on the other end of the call was in an extremely good mood, regardless of my grumpy behavior.
"You're still sleeping? I hope you remember that you're to accompany me today…"
"I know…" I impatiently responded with my eyes closed as I continued to lay on my bed.
I had to work throughout the week, and most times one thing I was thankful for was the fact that Saturday was the one day I got to sleep in as much as I wanted to, only for Ben to come crashing in.
"Is that all?" I continued in a clearly impatient manner that showed that I would like nothing more than to hangup.
"This place is really strict Kong. Is your card ready? You need to dress nice and freshen up even more than when you come to work," Ben said and I could hear a hint of concern in his voice, one that only served to make me even more curious about the place he said he was taking me to.
"Urgh ... .what time is this thing exactly?" I groaned, slightly annoyed that I needed to dress up for something I was sure I would need to pay for, especially since Ben, being as tight-lipped as he usually was refusing to give me any more details, no matter how many times I asked about it.
"We need to be there by six. Some tests would be done and there's bound to be a long queue," Ben replied and I felt the urge to groan even more, as I popped one eye open and raised my head to take a good peek at the wall clock in my room.
{12:30}
This meant that I had approximately 5 hours to get up, figure out what I was to eat, do a little extra grooming and get ready, maybe find some time to read my book all in the space of Five hours_ I wasn't in any way hyped to go.
"Just in case, be ready by 5:30. I'll pick you up myself,"
"Well that's just gre…" but before I could finish my sarcastic retort, I heard a beeping sound and discovered that he already hung up on me.
"That f******," I cursed under my breath even as I continued to lay on the bed with a clearly annoyed look on my face as I stared at my phone.
Still I was already fully awake and a few minutes later, I got off the bed and made my way to the kitchen.
While eating I again picked up the book to read, having gotten to a new place, where he had been drugged enough to pounce on two women until his soul energy was gone, when he would completely be unable to feel the mana in the air, and would instantly become an ordinary human.
Hours passed quickly without me being conscious of it as I grinned joyfully at the book right in front of me, hurriedly reading and flipping through the pages with join, when my eyes suddenly glanced at the clock to my side.
{5:00}
The next thing I knew, I was off the bed flying into the bathroom as quickly as I could.
I wasn't the least bit ready, not to mention having to find the whereabouts of my card.
By the time I had washed and dressed, it was about 5:35 and I already had two missed calls on my phone from Ben.
I was still drying my hair, trying to style it when I picked the phone again to call him back, but just before I could, I heard a loud knock on my door.
