[Icy Pov]
I slowly opened my blue eyes, too content in the cocoon of warmth that enveloped me to muster the strength to rise from the comfort. There was no sunlight or anything of the sort to indicate what time it was, leaving me momentarily confused.
Only blue flames floated in the air, gently illuminating the icy room where I found myself. I didn't quite understand where they came from, but I assumed it was another spell cast by him.
Memories began to return: the escape from my imprisonment on Planet Omega. A desolate, frozen wasteland, so far from the sun that it was perpetually covered by a thick layer of ice.
A planet so cold that the air was biting, and even my resistance to the cold was severely tested. Then came the encounter with the sexy and powerful mage. Not to mention that we had entered into some sort of alliance.
Now my eyes fully opened, recalling that I lay naked in the ice bed along with my sisters, not out of any sexual interest or anything like that. I couldn't deny that we had gained some experience together to fully satisfy our future boys.
But we only did it because it had become a habit, and we felt weak when we were apart for too long. Naturally, none of us showed this side, especially in the presence of strangers, to avoid appearing vulnerable.
After all, we were used to relying only on the three of us, given that the magical dimension was certainly not for the faint-hearted.
The simple truth was that no matter how hard we tried to overcome the rules imposed by this universe, we could not change our fate.
Witches would always be evil and power-hungry, while fairies were kind and ready to save the day when needed. But the reality was different: fairies were actually manipulative little whores thirsty for big cocks.
I hated that...
Fortunately, I had my sisters to support me through it all. Otherwise, I doubted that I could endure such a system, a system with such obvious discrimination against witches.
We always supported each other, finding strength and comfort in one another. Even when the magical world seemed to oppress us with its injustices and prejudices, I knew that together we would find a way to move forward.
It was truly amusing how everyone thought that we weren't really bound by blood ties. We had simply decided to call ourselves Trix because we belonged to the same coven.
At one point in our lives, we had been separated, until we found each other again at Cloud Tower. I had to admit that was one of the best days of my life.
For this reason, few people truly knew our lineage. Not that I minded; on the contrary, it was more convenient this way, as I didn't want all the witches of the magical dimension trying to exploit this information to their advantage, pitting us against each other.
"Ahh ~ More~~"
For a moment, I was speechless, but I ignored Darcy's moans and her constant muttering about how much she wanted that big cock in her mouth, trying to move. I managed to do so, even if only partially.
I also felt stronger magically. It was as if he was slowly continuing to transfer some of his magic to us through the mark. With every passing second, I sensed a steady flow of energy seeping into me, strengthening me in ways I had never experienced before.
It felt strangely similar to Darkar's magic, with the same dark and enveloping intensity, yet different, as if it had a unique quality. Instead of a dark void that hungrily sought to devour everything it could, it felt gentler.
It was better described as a tender flame that had ignited within me and was slowly growing stronger. As it fed, the flame increased in strength and intensity, devouring all the surrounding darkness and making it its own.
However, judging by the state of our bodies, it seemed that this power had healed us after just one night of sleep. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could fully extend my Achilles' heel again, and all the superficial wounds were gone, much to my delight.
Yesterday, he had explained that we couldn't harm him and vice versa, a fact to ensure that no one could betray the other. It was something I could live with, since for the moment we were on the same side.
But my curiosity truly ignited when, at some point, I managed to sense a fragment of the Dragon Flame within him. I couldn't help but be surprised, as I was sure it hadn't been there initially.
It was all too favorable for us, a perfect opportunity to gain an advantage since we could exploit this to our benefit. With the Dragon Flame inside him, our chances of success increased significantly.
It took a while before the others woke up. Stormy, in particular, was surprisingly subdued, a stark contrast to her usual behavior, as she normally preferred to confront situations with violence.
However, the blush on her face told a different story. It seems my younger sister had also had a pleasant dream, and I couldn't blame her. Nevertheless, being the eldest, I couldn't allow myself to be so easily seduced.
Darcy was her usual smug self, appearing completely in control and content. She couldn't show herself differently to the world, given that she had released all the pent-up stress inside her.
Fortunately, Maxwell wasn't here to witness all of this; otherwise, I'm sure she would have tried to invite him into our bed under the pretext of improving our sisterly bond. She was truly skilled at manipulation, something I was quite proud of.
"Can you believe it? I feel even more powerful than before!" Stormy said with a fierce smile, lying to my right. She placed her hand near her abdomen, right where the mark had been given to us.
Darcy responded completely indifferent, snuggling a bit closer to my left. "Can you believe we made such a good catch?" she finally said, rhetorically touching her chin. "No, I can't."
Seeing an argument brewing, I intervened in a rare show of leadership. "Shut up, both of you!" It was murmured, but still effective. Watching as my two sisters remained silent.
Raising my head, I explained, "Don't you understand? Do I need to draw a picture like I did when we were kids?" Sometimes I really hated being the eldest sister, as I didn't always know how to handle them.
"Understand what? Can't you be clear for a second?" Stormy asked irritably, shooting a glare at Darcy. She had never been one to appreciate the subtler aspects of a discussion.
A sigh escaped my lips, it was really exasperating. "Why don't you try sensing Maxwell's magic right now? I'm sure you'll be shocked by what you discover."
Darcy closed her eyes and sought the man's magic. She immediately gasped aloud. "Oh my God! It's the Dragon Flame!"
I nodded, a sly smile on my face. "Of course. You know what that means."
Now with wide eyes, Stormy exclaimed excitedly, "We can actually access the Relix Kingdom and obtain the Power Crystal!"
Darcy shook her head, "We can't, but he can." Her words had a dreamy quality. "It was to reach this point that we talked to him about Relix, right sister?" continued Darcy, seemingly unbothered that I hadn't told her everything.
I was visibly happy that my sister was on the same wavelength and understood my thoughts. Even better, I knew that Darcy could be quite convincing. "Exactly," I said with a smile spreading across my face.
"Do you think he might be interested?" Darcy spoke hopefully, her golden eyes shining with a strange emotion. "Because from what he's shown us, he seems to have a clear goal in mind." The words were practically whispered.
"I don't know. We have to ask." I shrugged my bare shoulders and rolled my eyes before a blush crept onto my face. "And, if necessary, convince him by any means possible." I was drawn to power, something Maxwell had in abundance.
"I don't mind this plan at all~" Darcy's words tasted like something sweet on her tongue. Clearly, this had been her plan from the beginning.
Even Stormy had a blush, but she seemed to have other things on her mind. "But how did he get the power of the Dragon Flame?" she asked, the curiosity evident in her voice.
The question hung in the air, increasing the tension between us. "I don't know, but something tells me he didn't obtain it through normal means," Darcy mused aloud.
It wasn't as if we hadn't possessed it at some point. "Or maybe he absorbed a fragment from somewhere," I couldn't help but murmur, remembering how he had taken power from the gigantic ice serpent.
It was the most sensible explanation since some fragments of the Dragon Flame were scattered throughout the Magic Dimension. A bit was in the Ring of Solaria, another was in Maxwell, and the largest part was in that bitch Bloom.
"From Valtor!" Stormy suddenly exclaimed aloud. "That's why he was so determined to find him: he wanted to seize the fragment of the Dragon Flame that was inside him!"
"An excellent deduction, sister," Darcy muttered, thoughtfully stroking her chin, "and now everything seems to make more sense. But how does this help us solve our problem?"
"Oh, dear sister, this changes everything," I said affectionately, immersed in my thoughts. Two-thirds of my mind were focused on the idea of acquiring more power and defeating the Winx, as it finally seemed the cards were beginning to turn in our favor.

Maxwell's POV
Feat Achieved
[To be the Lewd Dream of a Young Witch]
Pull Granted
Darcy? She was honestly the only one I could think of, which was a good thing since the chances of her betraying me would be lower, making it easier for my future plans to come to fruition.
Now I just needed to increase my efforts towards the other two sisters, but that wouldn't be a problem. I had confidence in my charisma and the charm that this body had granted me in abundance.
And with the good old tactic of the carrot and the stick, I doubted there would be any issue that couldn't be resolved by me with the right motivations.
But naturally, I wouldn't become too complacent, knowing full well that such a sentiment in an Osmionan would be his downfall. And I wanted to live for a long time, knowing that I had chosen this path for a more fulfilling life.
The memories of this body were undoubtedly useful, but I couldn't let them consume me, as I still considered my first life the most important and had no intention of forgetting it.

Result: Rare item.
[Collar of Edging]
Source: Kuroinu
[This magical collar increases the wearer's arousal and sensitivity, but prevents her from having an orgasm. When worn, it forces the wearer to obey the commands of others. However, the collar can only be removed by the person who put it on, regardless of any orders to remove it]
This would not have helped me much at the time, as I was not trying to enslave anyone for the time being, but it was a good method of torture to break the spirit of a woman who was too proud and stubborn to listen to me.
But I honestly didn't like many of those methods because I had my pride, which was a fundamental part of who I was, but to achieve my goals I was willing to be much more ruthless.
Spell Learned
[Memory Curse]
[Draw a druidic sigil with your own blood. With the target within range, pronounce "Dearmad." The sigil emits a purple light that envelops the target, making them forget all related memories or those of your interest.]
It was a powerful spell, a trump card in my magical arsenal that would come in very handy. Imagine facing an enemy who refuses to listen to reason or who is too dangerous to confront head-on.
With this spell, I could bend the situation to my favor quickly and with minimal effort. Given that it originated from a truly powerful universe, I doubted it would be easily resolved without adequate preparation.
The real advantage of this spell was its ability to manipulate the target's specific memories. I could choose exactly which memories to erase, leaving untouched the ones I had no interest in.
This meant I could eliminate any mental resistance or prejudice the target might have against me, making them more pliable and inclined to trust me. Without the memories that tied them to old alliances or past suspicions, they would see me as their safest and most logical choice.
In situations where patience and persuasion were luxuries I couldn't afford, this spell represented a quick and effective solution.
I wouldn't have to waste time convincing or negotiating; I could simply rewrite reality in my favor by manipulating my enemy's memories and perceptions.
I knew, however, that such great power had to be used cautiously. Memory manipulation is a profound and invasive form of control, and abusing it could lead to unexpected consequences.
Spell Learned
[Five Elements Mutual Generation]
[The Five Elements Mutual Generation technique is a method of Onmyoudou that utilizes the creation cycle to bolster the power of the next spell]
This was truly important for the current me. My spells would only grow in strength over time, and to fully understand them, I would need to master advanced techniques like this.
The cyclical creation of the elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—not only strengthened each subsequent spell but also allowed me to adapt my magic to a wide range of situations.
Each element in the chain acted not just as a single power, but as part of a complex system of esoteric teachings that had a broader significance for the finite and mortal universe.
For example, a wood spell would enhance the following fire spell, which in turn would strengthen an earth spell, and so on, until one could define the nature of the universe and human existence, the purpose of life, and various other ontological issues.
For this reason, when I obtained all elemental affinities, I would need to train constantly, testing my spells in real situations to see how they reacted and how I could improve their effectiveness.
But it was also a method to help understand the related concepts and achieve spiritual realization, which would help my soul grow to an acceptable level that was lagging behind my physical body.
Feat Achieved
[Mystic Prodigy]
Two Pull Granted
Of course I was, after all, Osmionians could even absorb magic, so it was expected that I would excel. My natural connection to various types of energy allowed me to understand and use spells of every kind with surprising ease.
Not only that, but in this universe, as in many others, magic was connected to different worlds/dimensions. I could potentially take control of all of them, though if I wasn't careful enough, I could end up completely disconnected from my reality and become a mere monster without purpose.
It was truly a pity that, according to this body's memories, I was the only one of my race to have discovered this advantage. Despite the incredible potential of Osmionians, no one else seemed to have managed to fully exploit their abilities, except for me.
I didn't know if it was misfortune or simply better for all the inhabitants of the universe from which I came. It was hard to imagine an entire race consuming an entire universe, only to discover that their hunger remained unsatisfied.

Result: Common Knowledge.
[Sword Mastery: Apprentice]

[You are a talented swordsman, with the equivalent knowledge of having practiced for a few years in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.]
Oh, the apocalyptic world with all the nonsense of demons and angels trying to destroy the world because a human decided to perform a ritual to bring back his friends.
Really, it was a bit too convoluted for all the evil plots involved, but I couldn't help but think that, all things considered, there were some useful elements that could capture my interest.
But it was mostly my hunger speaking, as the trumpets of the apocalypse would have made good main courses to savor. It was a great pity that I couldn't sink my teeth into them.
I seriously doubted I had the control necessary not to go mad if I absorbed the power of an entire angel to make it my own; I still needed more control to accomplish such a feat.
For this reason, I needed to immerse myself in my grimoires and work on strengthening my mind while keeping all the instincts that tried to take control of me every second in check.
Mission:
[Apprentice Sorcerer]
Primary Objective: Further expand your magical repertoire and move closer to the title of an authentic Novice of Mysticism. To achieve this milestone, you must master over 20 spells from different schools of magic.
Secondary Objective: Create a unique spell that is not only useful and powerful but also garners the admiration and envy of other mages. This spell must be original and demonstrate a profound understanding of yourself.
Reward:
• A random skill token
• A tome of your choice (rarity cannot exceed Legendary)
• ???
Ok, this was all very good for me. It was definitely my first mission that I would complete since the rewards would give me an excellent starting point to improve myself as a sorcerer.
With the rewards in sight, I felt motivated and ready to dedicate myself. The first step was to identify which spells I had already learned and which were still needed to complete my task.
In parallel, I began to reflect on how to create my original spell that could take me to another level. I thought about how to combine my current unique abilities with magic and ensure they could blend perfectly.
Honestly, I had an idea for my unique spell. Referring to my memories, a red-haired boy who absorbs his own spell to the point where it merges with his very soul.
It wasn't an easy task, but after all this time, it was a challenge that stimulated and pushed me to give my best. Only time would reveal if it was possible to achieve what I had in mind. I knew the risk was considerable and that a mistake could lead to fatal consequences, if not worse.
Rolling.
Result: Non-Common Tome.
[Braille Divine Tome of Lothric]
Source: Dark Souls 3
Now, this was exactly what I wanted to see: the power of light would be extremely useful in this universe, especially considering how potent it was with the importance of Solaria not only for its inhabitants but also for balancing the entire magical universe.
To explain better, Solaria is a kingdom associated with the Sun, Moon, and Stars. It's one of the brightest places in the entire Magic Dimension, with a predominance of sunlight that makes the kingdom's atmosphere almost always radiant and devoid of rain.
Solaria possesses at least three suns. The magical essence of the first and second suns is stored within the Steeple of the Sun, located in the royal palace and heavily guarded, which was a future objective of mine.
In this way, my affinity with light would increase extraordinarily, without having to drain pure creatures, which could cause long-term problems I preferred to avoid.
