Arthur is a single male from the US who played an eroge for almost a year and dedicated most of his fortune to it's gacha function. His goal ? Being the first, above even the creator and devs of the game. But one question, once he completed the current content available on the game, why did he woke up in the middle of nowhere ? - Author's note : This story contains heavy sex scenes, more than three chapters each, and somewhat regularly. They will also start somewhat soft and slowly approach more uncharted territories, going through a lot of tags that can be seen on adult sites, positions and further kinks if not fetishes. I do plan to make it somewhat enjoyable for everyone, and if you don't like a certain scene, you're free to skip it as there won't be any story text related in them, and if there is, it will be minimal to the point where it can be ignored. There isn't a specific publication dates for the chapters, I'll just post them once I finish writing them, can go to three to four chapter a day, to even zero for a few of them or during festivities, as I don't know what tomorrow is made of and I am certainly not a professional at this. Lastly, I hope you find your pleasure beyond this introduction and what lays, waiting for you, further in the story !

"Get your hands off me!" she wrestled against my grip, so I held her even tighter. "Put this on!" I groaned, toiling to keep her in place and wishing again I’d worn the damn gloves. The feel of her warm skin under my arm and palm wasn’t helping my focus. "I'm not taking you home like this!" "You don't tell me what to do!" she snapped, thrashing to break free of my hold as I fumbled with the cloak in my other hand, trying to drape it over her bare shoulders. "I'm not going home! Let me go, I said!" "Did you really think I got you out of there just to let you wander the streets, almost naked, like a lunatic?" That stopped her. "What did you call me?!" "LU-NA-TIC." "You... You…! Take your hands off me, you insolent brute!" Enraged, she yanked her arm too abruptly and lost her balance. I caught her, wrapped her in the cloak, and threw her over my shoulder. "PUT ME DOWN!" She shrieked and flailed, but I ignored her, making my way to the Commander’s house, which, thanks to Braa, was only two streets away. Since the entire population was in the square for the ridiculous festival, no one intervened at the frantic cries of the wild creature. No wonder in the ten years I've known the Commander, I've never heard that he has a daughter. She must’ve been kept locked away. Strangely, she suddenly went still and quiet. Had she grown tired, worried about attracting attention, or finally realized how inappropriate it was to show up at her parents' doorstep in this state? She didn’t seem to care before. With every step, my anxiety grew—she was limp. "Hey!" No answer. Seriously?! "Hey, you!" Nothing. A bad feeling crept over me, so I pulled her off my shoulder and into my arms. Her head fell against my chest—unconscious. "Hey! Hey, you!" I shook her, but she didn’t react. Panic surged through me. Had she fainted? Had I held her too tight? Lifting her more securely, I sprinted toward the Commander's house.
