I woke up in the morning with a strange feeling. My body felt lighter, as if my strength had increased while I slept.
I sat at the edge of the bed and stared out the window. The morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
But my mind wasn't entirely at ease. I kept thinking about last night, especially my interaction with Queen Elira.
She was clearly affected by Lust Domination. I wondered just how far this skill could go in a more intimate situation.
Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. "Hero, are you awake?" the soft voice of a maid came from the other side.
I smiled to myself, thinking about testing Touch of Ecstasy again. "Yes, come in."
The maid opened the door and stepped in cautiously, carrying a breakfast tray as usual.
I looked at her for a moment, this time taking in the curves of her body. Her maid uniform was a bit loose, but I could still see her B cup breasts hanging perfectly beneath the fabric.
She placed the tray on the table near the bed. "Do you need anything else, sir?"
I stood up and walked toward her, trying to create a more intimate atmosphere. "Maybe... there is one more thing."
The maid looked a little nervous, but she remained in place. I smiled slyly, then reached out and gently touched her arm.
This time, I increased the intensity of Touch of Ecstasy. My touch crept further up her arm, and I saw an immediate reaction.
She gasped softly, her body trembling slightly. "Sir... this..." her voice began to quiver, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
I deepened my touch, letting my fingers trace up her arm until they reached her shoulder. "You seem so tense. Is something bothering you?"
"I-I don't know," she replied, her breathing growing heavier. Her body began to respond to every touch, her chest rising and falling quickly.
I glanced at her chest, which appeared even more prominent beneath her maid outfit. "There's no need to feel shy."
My hand slid down toward her waist, while my eyes stayed locked on her face, which was flushed with heat. Her body shook as I touched her waist.
She bit her lip, trying to stifle a moan. "Sir... please..." she whispered, but her body remained still, not moving away.
I knew she had already fallen under the influence of Touch of Ecstasy. My touch became bolder, caressing her waist gently, and she could only stand there, her face bright red.
"Enjoy it," I whispered softly in her ear before stepping back, allowing her to fully experience the effect of my power.
The maid lowered her head, her body still trembling. "I-I need to go, sir."
I smiled, knowing I had just made her feel something she'd never experienced before. "Go if you must. Thank you for the breakfast."
She hurried out with quick steps, her cheeks still flushed, and her chest heaving. I chuckled softly after she closed the door.
This skill really provided unimaginable pleasure. My depraved actions were just beginning, and this world was full of opportunities.
I then sat at the table and started enjoying my breakfast. But my mind kept wandering to thoughts of my other overpowered abilities.
After breakfast and testing Touch of Ecstasy, I felt incredibly confident in my new powers. Now it was time to seriously test my defensive abilities.
I walked toward the grand hall where the kingdom's soldiers trained. The sound of their heavy breathing and the clashing of swords greeted me as I entered.
The instructor, a middle-aged man with a muscular build, halted the training when he saw me. "Hero, is there something we can assist you with today?"
"I want to test my strength," I replied, eyeing the soldiers who were practicing in the hall. "I want you to order your men to attack me. Without holding back."
He raised an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised by my request. "Are you sure, Hero?"
I gave a small smile. "Of course. I want to see how strong my Absolute Defense is."
The instructor nodded seriously, then turned to face the soldiers. "You heard the Hero! Prepare to attack, and don't hold back."
Two soldiers stepped forward into the center of the hall, gripping their swords tightly. I stood in the middle, waiting for the first strike.
"Hero, get ready!" one of the soldiers called out. I only nodded, remaining still without raising a weapon.
The first soldier swung his sword at me. A quick slash struck my body, but I didn't feel a thing.
It sounded like metal hitting a steel wall. The soldier looked shocked, his eyes wide as he saw his sword leave no mark on me.
"Attack again," I said calmly, still unmoving. The second soldier joined in, this time striking from a different angle.
His sword slashed diagonally from my shoulder down to my waist, but once again, I felt nothing. Absolute Defense blocked every blow without even a scratch.
The two soldiers looked confused, glancing at each other. But before they could react further, I said, "You need to try harder. Use all your strength."
They nodded obediently and readied themselves again. This time, they attacked together, their movements quicker and their strikes harder.
Their swords flashed from various angles, hitting my body repeatedly. The sound of metal clanging echoed again and again, but my body remained unshaken.
Powerful strikes, sharp slashes, even a direct stab aimed at my heart—none of the attacks could penetrate my defense.
The instructor, watching from afar, began to look impressed. "Soldiers, increase the intensity! Don't give the Hero any chance to defend!"
Two more soldiers joined in, this time armed with spears. They tried to stab me from a distance, hoping to find a gap in my defense, but the result was the same.
Their spears were halted in midair, as if hitting an invisible wall, unable to reach my body. Absolute Defense was truly impenetrable.
"Is this the best you can do?" I asked with a relaxed tone. I stood there without moving, wanting to see how long they could keep attacking.
Sweat started to drip down the soldiers' faces as they ran out of breath, their strikes growing more desperate. Beads of sweat formed on their brows as they attacked in vain.
I saw they were starting to get exhausted. "Come on, add one more soldier. I want to see what more people can do."
The instructor finally called forward a large soldier, probably the strongest among them. He carried a massive sword, almost as big as I was.
"I'll handle this," the soldier said confidently. Gripping his sword with both hands, he stepped forward, ready to unleash a powerful strike.
With one heavy swing, he brought his sword down toward me. A loud crash echoed through the hall, but my body remained completely unmoved.
The soldier was shocked, seeing his sword suspended in the air as if there was an invisible shield protecting me. His expression shifted from confident to confused.
"Hit harder," I said, challenging him. "Use all your strength."
He let out a loud shout and launched a flurry of attacks. His sword repeatedly slammed into my body with immense force, but every strike was just as ineffective.
Finally, after several attempts, he dropped to his knees, panting. "I... I don't understand."
The instructor raised his hand, signaling the end of the exercise. "Your power is incredible, Hero. I've never seen anything like this."
I gave a faint smile. "This is just a small part of what I'm capable of."
I looked around at the soldiers, all of them panting and exhausted. Today's test had successfully proven the strength of my Absolute Defense.
No matter how hard they tried, nothing could penetrate my body. I had become an unbreakable fortress.
With full confidence, I stepped out of the training hall, leaving the awestruck soldiers behind. My mind now focused on other things, other powers I could exploit in this world.
I left the hall feeling satisfied. Absolute Defense had proven to be flawless, and now I had to think about my next move.
As I walked through the palace corridors, I noticed Queen Elira speaking with a few maids. Her allure was mesmerizing, with a perfect body and large D-cup breasts that gently swayed with each step.
My eyes were drawn to her, but I knew I had to be careful. I needed to approach the Queen delicately, not rush things.
I approached the group, but instead of addressing the Queen directly, I chose to speak to one of the maids. She was a young woman with long brown hair, looking sweet and innocent.
"Ah, you're the one who cleaned my room earlier, aren't you?" I asked, smiling at her. The maid seemed momentarily surprised but then smiled shyly.
"Yes, Hero. Was everything to your liking?" she replied politely. I nodded, making sure my tone was soft and friendly.
"You did an excellent job," I said, gazing at her a little more intently. "I really appreciate your hard work."
The maid blushed, and I could see her cheeks turning pink. Slowly, I placed my hand on her shoulder, offering a very gentle touch.
"Thank you, Hero," she said, her voice barely a whisper. Her body trembled slightly under my touch.
I activated Touch of Ecstasy slowly, letting the effect seep in. Her face flushed even more, and I knew she was starting to feel something different.
I withdrew my hand gently. "Keep up the good work. You're an exceptional maid."
She only nodded, looking somewhat mesmerized by the effects of my touch. I could see the attraction beginning to grow within her.
Meanwhile, from the corner of my eye, I noticed Queen Elira watching me. Her eyes were sharp, though she didn't show any immediate reaction.
I knew this was just the beginning. My steps needed to be careful to achieve my goal.
I smiled to myself, pleased with my subtle approach. Step by step, I would make them desire me.
