"Offering your soul? How could it possibly be so simple..." Willem watched as the boys removed their robes and started having their way with her body. The girls watched, captivated, but did not do anything to interfere with the events. The teenagers roughly tossed her limbs out of the way, using her body like a rag doll to feed their selfish sexual desires. Willem tied a black string to each body of the people in the study room without them knowing, and the phantasm disappeared into the shadow it came from.

The simple truth of this young girl's life is that this was not the first time. She came from a simple family, with two younger brothers and one younger sister. Her father was a smith and her mother tended to the neighbors farmstead, and she was the only one in the family to show magical aptitude. The whole family put everything on her becoming a mage, not knowing the rules of the Magic Academy. Once you became a member of the Magic Academy you were no longer a part of your old family. There was a few ways around this, but none of those methods were available to the young girl. She had no latent genius talent when it came to being a mage, and did not carry the favor of any Grand Mage. Her clumsiness made it impossible for her to be a calligrapher or botanist. These truths were not lost to her, and she did her best to carve out her own part in the Magic Academy. She would often be found in the Grand Library, reading about mind magic, which fascinated her the most.

One day, while studying in the Grand Library, a certain advanced earth mage took an interest in her. His interest was purely sexual, and he looked at her with the eyes of a beast in heat. He talked to her and explained that he was making a study group devoted to learning mind magic. Seeing that she was so interested, he invited her to join him and other like-minded students. Though the look he gave her creeped her out immensely, this was a rare occasion for her whom had made no friends and only studied all the time. She hesitantly packed up her books and headed with him to an intermediate study room. Inside, what awaited her was not a warm and welcome group but a bunch of delinquent looking older students. Before she realized what was happening the door had been blocked and she was being beaten by the older female students. The students forced her to drink mind numbing alcohol, which was fairly easy to concoct for potioneering majors. While she was under the effects of the mind numbing alcohol, her body acted as if it was not her own. She lost control of her limbs and bladder, pissing herself all over the floor.

The males of the group watched and laughed, kicking her and spitting on her. To them, she was just a stress reliever from having to study so hard in the Magic Academy. The earth mage did not just randomly pick someone from the Grand Library. He had been stalking her for a week, making sure she had no affiliations with any powerful figures or was the attendant of any wealthy nobles. When he was certain she was a nobody, he made his move. When the females finished beating her, they ripped her clothes off for the males. This became the first time her body had ever been looked at by people other than her family. The earth mage took the initiative, removing his robes and plunging himself into her soft body. Her first experience would have been a traumatizing one, if she had not drunk the mind numbing alcohol. To the young girl whom had drunk the mind numbing alcohol, this was just a fuzzy dream which she was sure she would wake up from soon. Without her knowledge, her virginity had been taken and her body was an outlet for the repressed sexual frustrations of the males in the room.

One by one they took their time using her orifices, until they had finally had enough of her. She was then forced to drink more mind numbing alcohol, until eventually she passed out from the effects. While she was passed out, she began to seize violently. The students watched her amusingly, and began to mock her as the seizure continued. Once they were done playing with her, they left her stripped body on one of the desks and left the study room with the door wide open. The students passing by the room noticed the smell of urination and looked in only to find a passed out eighteen year old girl fully unclothed. The more daring of the boys used her body before quickly leaving, while the other ones watched on.

After a few hours, the girl finally woke up. When she did, she found that she was completely alone, in the intermediate study room. When she attempted to sit up, she found herself racked with pain. She had never felt pain like this before in her life and she quickly tried to recall how she had gotten to this point. When she sat up, a squelching sound could be heard from underneath her. She finally noticed after sitting up that she was not wearing any clothes, and that they were crumpled on the ground with multiple torn pieces of fabric. She gently moved her fingers to her lower body, and saw a white liquid dripping from her. She began to gently weep once she came to the realization of what had happened. She quietly cleaned up her body with water magic, and tried to put on her robes. She saw that on the robes, the fasteners no longer worked and would have to be sewn back on properly. This meant without her physically holding onto the clothes, half her body would be exposed.

She rushed out of the intermediate study room and raced to the dorms, where she openly wept while fixing her clothes. In the morning, she went to the guards room and explained the situation. Unfortunately for her, she was not of a noble family and events like this were not uncommon for people without connections. She had no one in the guard-room who was a confidant, or would personally look into her issue. All she could do was file a report like other victims, and wait to hear back from the guards. Once she was done filling out the report, she tried her best to get through the day as if it was just as normal as any other. However there was a lingering feeling within her that something was wrong her with body. Within her body was an increasing sense of dread, and finally her body locked up and began to seize. In the middle of class, she fell from her desk and began to violently shake on the floor. The teacher ordered a student to take her to the infirmary, where water mages monitored her life force.

When she finally awoke again, she was not where she used to be. The sun was beginning to set, even though she had just been in class in the morning. The water mages told her what had happened, and left her to the terrifying truth. Her body would never be the same again, all because of this one diagnosis. She cried gently as she tried to move herself from the bed, an increasing sense of betrayal building up inside her. Once she was all done crying, and her body had felt completely numb, she lifted herself from the bed out of the room and back to her dorm.

Since that day she could no longer look anyone in the eyes, and instead went to the Grand Library and hid herself within the books. She would have multiple small seizures during the day, but they were for the most part manageable. She no longer went to her classes, and did not talk to anyone. Due to her clumsiness, combined with her new seizures, she would often fall over and re-injure her body from attempting just to stand up and leave. Day after day her body was racked with pain even though it was magically being healed.

Then, one day, the advanced earth mage appeared in front of her again. Fearing for her life, she did as she was told and followed him obediently to the intermediate study room. She was beaten and taken advantage of multiple times within the first few months. Any signs of struggle were met with broken bones, and even more malicious attacks ensued when word got out that there was a formal investigation started by the girl. She was quickly taught to obediently go to the intermediate study room every three days or they would find her and beat her mercilessly. She tried to leave the school multiple times but could not leave because of her active status as a mage. She tried to hide herself away in the mountains but was found by one of her attacker's tracking magic.

Though she always fought back and attempted to struggle a little bit, inside she was resigned to her fate. Until the day that she saw the phantasm that no one else seemed to notice. She thought it was the goddess of death finally coming to reap her soul. There were many stories of abused women who would offer their souls to the goddess of death, and they would be granted immeasurable power to kill their attackers before dying themselves. She finally thought that her torture was over, however the phantasm just stared at her without moving or offering solace. Finally her body could no longer endure, and began to seize as she blacked out.

Inside the Grand Library.

Willem had just released his phantasm, and his mind thought about the girl for a long while. Though he was reading the words of the open book in front of him, he could not stop thinking about her. He was not the arbiter of justice, of that he can be sure, but he wanted to help the girl. Something told him in the back of his head that she could actually be useful. Willem decided that when next he saw her, he would drop a subtle hint that he was a Grand Mage, and when she begged for his help, he would use the life binding technique to enslave her. From that point on, her life would be tied to his and he could grant her enough power to take her revenge. This was the proverbial killing two birds with one stone, as he had been waiting for a long time to try the life binding technique on someone and he was looking for a new attendant anyways, so it might as well be someone he is at least somewhat familiar with.

Once he had decided on his course of action, he continued to read the book in front of him until Archus finally returned with the missive in hand. Archus told Willem about the events that unfolded within the royal palace, and he could do nothing but laugh. He never would have thought that his power would be so openly feared by the One True King whom had united the humans of the world. Still, the request was approved and he now had permission to leave the grounds to check out the ruins. The day after tomorrow, he intended to leave and go study the runes in the abandoned town. He conversed with Archus after leaving the restricted section until a swarm of advanced mages came over to request an audience with the two. Being very private people, both of them only offered superficial words before excusing themselves from the students.

Though Willem had originally intended to leave for the ruins immediately, he was not one hundred percent certain about his current abilities to fight off a stronger demon if he came across one. He knew very little about their physical state, or their abilities besides what the demoness in his mind had shown for skills. Therefore, he would take a bit more time to prepare himself.

Willem quickly left the Grand Library and waited for Kinsey at the entrance to the Magic Academy. Arm in arm they teleported to the Private Sanctum, where Kinsey was told about the plan he had for the young freckled girl. Though Kinsey was not pleased with sharing her Master, she said nothing because it was not her place. Besides, she had been a bit lonely recently and would not mind a little sister to help out with experiments and feeding the tiger cub. She listened to the plan and when she understood his intentions she nodded her head.

Kinsey went and prepared food for Willem, herself and the White Tiger Cub. By this time, the cub had grown twice its original size thanks to feeding on the hell boars meat, which for it could be considered a rare delicacy. It's height now reached up to Kinsey's calf, and it's body was the size of an overfed dog often found in the houses of nobles within the Bastion of Hope.

Willem ate quietly, and began to practice etching the life binding technique on scraps of papyrus. He kept at it for hours, until he was sure it was of impeccable quality. When he was finally finished with the runes, they looked almost identical to the ones found in the red book. Satisfied with his work, he headed to bed and patiently waited for Kinsey to finish the potions she was working on.

When she was done, she joined Willem in bed. She took off the gently used robes she had worn that day, and her beautiful skin brushed up against Willem. This may be the last time she gets him all to herself, so she intended to go all out tonight.

She began to gently caress his testicles, and she licked the tip of his penis. His flaccid organ quickly became erect from the pleasure and teasing, and he made her wrap her legs around his head. He began to gently play with her lower body, sticking his tongue out and teasing her with cunnilingus. Willem casted a warmth spell on her lower body just as she was about to climax, which made her orgasm uncontrollably. She did her best to hold on and not stop pleasing her Master, but she could not do anything against the intense waves of pleasure her body was experiencing.

During the course of the night, they tried many new positions with varying effect. Some of the positions felt much better than others, and Willem made a mental note of the ones that felt good. In the end, the only sound in the Sanctum was the ragged breathing of the two and the soft purring of the White Tiger Cub who was sleeping beside the bed.
