So I've been so hung up on all-fluff light novels, you know the ones without any mature parts, like it's supposed to make the reader's heart flutter, I've been planning to jumpstart another FF when Invictus is at least halfway through or if the first arc is complete, but it's still a thought bubble for bow and I'm sure you'll love it

All the love

"Contract Complete, Bind Set"

the black stakes drove back down into the ground, the hexagram star circle blinked out of existence as the chains started to dissolve leaving scarlet hot marks on my wrists, the thorny halo then started to melt from its high-speed rotation slowly and slowly forming an orb that floated down onto my palm

after all that Aria still hasn't broken contact from our deep kiss, her tongue kept twirling with mine, our saliva mixed as the scent of jasmine were stuck lingering in my mind, her knew kept rubbing gently on my crotch the entire time

after burning out half a minute, she started to pull away rather relunctantly but I'm sure she knew we couldn't stay like this forever though she'd probably wish for such a thing, a strand of saliva was left stuck to our lips once she broke away, her cheeks caught red once her thoughts finally gathered

As for me, I kept silent, no words were needed for such a thing, no calculations and compliments, such a thing would only destroy this fleeting and curious moment of silence between is

Her father was already nowhere to be seen once I gathere my wits, what father would watch her own daughter kiss someone like me

the words 'contract' and 'bind' came to mind, did it mean she became my slave but if she was then wouldn't the system windows be more straight forward about that

that's when the orb in the palm of my hand, the mere thought of it, clicked into place, orb or should I say, a gemstone almost perfectly suited its appearance as my socket

Aria still hadn't made sign of moving away from me, her thigh still rubbed near my crotch and her arms were wrapped around my neck in such an endearing way, blush*

I looked and made eye contact with her, her sparkling eyes reflected delight from her face, a smile appeared filled with pure joy and she leaned closer an rubbed her head upon my chest

"Uhmm, Aria"

"Un?"

"Would you help me with something"

"Un!"

"Could you attach these orbs to the grooves on my back, I'm sure you noticed that I can't do this on my own"

"It would be my pleasure... Master~she then maneuvered around me, an arm still held around my waist, I passed her the two orbs, one I got from Roger and the other was the recent one, she twirled the two gemstones around her palm

She gently and slowly lifted my shirt up to my shoulders, the arm that was hedl around my waist crept toward the small of my back, her smooth fingers pressing against the only place without the grooves

she then took one of the orbs and placed it in one of the sockets, a tingling sensation ran through my spine and my entire body throbbed for a second

What power do you seek to relish in the heat of battle?

'I want to experience the rush of combat without the thought of being able to kill in the process, the thrill of overpowering an opponent by defeating without the need to shed blood, for me that is the way of a duelist'

Resolve Confirmed; Generating Skill

Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:Duelist's CodeMaster9999.9%A duelist prefers to subjugate an opponent, shedding blood is considered a stain in their code, they consider defeating an opponent and being challenged in the near future a huge honor; All HP damage towards players will be converted into Stamina damage, once an enemy's stamina hits 0, they enter a debuff state of unconsciousness and can only recover once the duelist is no longer in the same location, in that state the player will black out and be left vulnerableSkill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:Buff of the VictorMaster9999.9%To the winner goes the spoils, in this case; for each downed enemy is multiplied by 20% of your stats and added to your character, if an enemy you were currently dueling isn't defeated then this buff will automatically cancelled and the streak will be over

Aria then inserts the new orb into one of the sockets and I reexperience the same tingling sensation an throbbing, but this time, Aria doubles over and a tattoo appears on her chest just abover her left breast, a tugging feeling in my gut could be felt

A soul orb has been attached to one of the sockets and has now been considered bound to you, all rights and benefits of the soul has been transferred and will now be supervised by you

Contracted Souls[Aria/Automaton][][][]

Contracted Souls can be mutated or upgraded into higher and stronger forms, depending on the affinity and type of the soul massive improvement can be made; to be able to access the 'Upgrade Screen' of your contracted soul, picture it in your mind, that's all

A Contracted Soul when downed will temporarily be unable to use for 24 hours, you may freely summon and recall an active soul

so I can attach 3 more soul orbs, hmm I can upgrade Aria?, I'll check that later, does that mean Aria actually belongs to me now? well it did state that all rights were transferred to me, so basically she'll follow whatever I'll say?

Nope! NO!, I shouldn't think too much about this, I shouldn't even think about taking advantage of Aria, she's done so much for me, such a sweet girl like her wouldn't want to be done with by me

... but, did she kiss me... Did her father put her up with this?, or did she want all this to happen, for me to be her 'master'? When did she start to like me anyway?

"If it means that much to you master, you've been struggling to make sense of what has happened, then I should make things clearer for you: I chose to serve you master, noone forced me to do this, not even my father, you were the closest candidate I've got and you were the closest candidate to my heart, even though it is artificial, it beats, specifically it beats for you master"

she said this in such a statisfied tone that it may be considered a purr, she may be easily compared with a spoiled cat by now, it was the exact image I've pictured clearly in my mind though this cat may lure my innocence to commit such errotic acts in thought and she would even enjoy it, one shouldn't be careless over someone of this mindset

"Well you may set things straight like that master, but you should be more on guard on your mind because apparently we have some sort of connection where we can communicate with eachother through thought alone, and it pains me to say I'm offended that you consider me to make a move on such a handsome man like you"

a tongue then provocatively licked over her lips as if she was thinking over my delusions whether it may or may not be doable

"Hello! Leoth are you here?"

a familiar voice called down the hallway, the double doors has security to kick out anyone who is not recognized by a household member of this facory, but needless to say, Thalia is such a person that is nearly identical to me disregarding gender, therefore the system may be fooled to think that it is probably me

The second set of double doors into the main lobby slide open and presented a petite body of thirteen, her bust appearing more mature than the rest of her body but not too much and was in my opinion my most comfortable bust size, her long ebony hair was now tied up in a ponytail decorated with a bejeweled circlet of a red tinted gemstone, her usual sundress was now replaced with a cocktail dress that hugged figure perfectly, her top and bottom wer proportionate as to appear as an hourglass figure, any pedophile in my opinion would probably bow down in a disgusting breathing technique, her bright and cheerful face sadly had reduced to a judgmental glare and a look of betrayal

"Leoth... Who in god's name is that girl who is hugging your back rather contently?"

her eyes were now showing flames of absolute jealousy but apparently I heard from a friend that you should never ask a girl if she was jealous and it may just feed the burning flames

Before I was able to reply, Aria seductively slid around me and stood to face her candidate of competition, her face wore a look of condescention upon her childish adversary, both parties have recognized eachother as an enemy by now

"He saw me naked"

Ggk

"Yeah, well he hugged me"

M-munyu

"He already 'touched' me!"

N-nyah

"He got my first kiss and I got his!"

G-geho

"W-well... N-nyuhu, Leoth you traitor!"

Thalia suddenly ran towards me, her arms trying to hit me in a child-like fashion, Aria stood proudly and bathed in her victory

Until Thalia suddenly jumped and wrapped her arms around my neck and stole a kiss on my lips, somehow she tasted like strawberries and a familiar scent made me wrinkle my nose

POOF~!

Dull grey mist suddenly left Thalia's body, and the familiar scent suddenly disappeared, a look of realization dawned on her face and she changed into a shade of red, her arms let go of my neck and she dropped down to the floor in Plop

"WAAAAAH!, L-l-leoth what w-was I d-doing?"

Thalia then ran to the nearest corner, her back faced towards us and tried to hide in shame, she looked rather shaken up, whatever came over her a few seconds ago apprarently had come to pass

Aria could only look at Thalia in confusion from the sudden change of heart, eventually she just waddled over to Thalia and give her a reassuring pat on the back, surprisingly it was the only thing she needed to finally calm down

Thalia stood up and trie to face me, which only resulted in her bursting in a blush and turning around again

I had to somehow do something so I walked towards her, I wrapped my arms around her in a tender embrace, my head rested comfortably on hers, ger shoulders tensed up for a second before her breathing slowed

"I know you're probably fussing over your kiss, and U-umm, maybe if you actually feel that way, then how can I stop you, we are separated as of now, therefore you're free to think for yourself, I won't judge on what you may find in your interest, so I don't mind your kiss and... U-uhm I kind of liked it a little"

Thalia stayed silent for a few more seconds before turning to me and finally returned my hug, Aria could only pout in the background

"So for now since we've done all we can in here, our first stop will be Jelland, the town of commerce, its just a carriage ride away, and I got a lot of gold from selling Null type weapons"

Thalia nodded in reply before stopping to stare intently at Aria and looked back at me questionably

"Oh! Aria is, how should I say, her soul is bound to me, therefore she can't go anywhere too far from me and she's going to travel with us"

Thalia pouted in response and stamped her foot a little

"What?! we need her, as far as I remember neither of hs two can cook!, we'll provably die of starvation here if we don't have her"

a moment of silence passed for a second before she finally agreed, Aria did a fistpump in the sidelines

"Well we should set out and level up first, we probably won't survive too far from town if we're at least level 1"

"Status!"

Wow!, why the hell do my stats look so friggin broken? is it becausenof that old man's training? what the hell, does that mean I'm the most strongest lvl 1 in this entire game?

On my left was Thalia, on my right was Aria, is it ok for me to have two beautiful ladies to keep me company?, the gentlemen around me are giving such piercing stares that I can't concentrate, the two women return those gazes with a look of disgust that causes the males to grovel in defeat

"We should probably organize our gear first so let's go browse so merchandise in on of the stalls in today's bazaar and afterwards we'll rest at The Tipsy Pig, we'll start grinding tomorrow so for now let's just walk aro--"

Something blinked in my surroundings

Someone's signalled your log-out from the outside of the LUCID Pod, Now commencing immediate log-out

One moment I was in town, the next I was staring at a ceiling, A glass case hissed open as the double doors slide and allow me to go out, I blinked my eyes once or twice just to get the right feeling of reality back to me, then a head of a beautiful girl suddenly peeked into the pod, her glossy black hair fell from her shoulders to the side of my face, her cheeks somehow dyed red and a rather cutesy smile managed to appear on her face, I knew that she was hiding her happiness inside, bottling it up, at least trying to

Only one person I knew doesn't have the capacity to do a poker face, and that was Kumi, her body bent forward over the pod to see me properly, though her perky breasts were kind of peeking with her, she was wearing a rather familiar sweater

"Oh! You noticed what I'm wearing?, it was what you gave me when we were still dating, it gave me deep warmth whenever it got too cold and has proved its usefulness so I never bothered to throw it away"

Her ears glowed scarlet red, she was embarrassed, though back then the sweater was too big for her and would be too loose so I'd get faint peeks of her boobs when she bent over, but now she grew to be able to properly fit in it, her boobs were being hugged by the front of the sweater but since it was a V-neck, a valley of pure pale skin would show its wonder on a man so unworthy

"Pervert"

Apparently she noticed me staring, so she crossed her arms. It did not help covering her twins but only helped emphasize it, I think it's better if I leave it be

"Help me up would you Kumi?"

Her snow white fragile hand reached for mine, I unconsciously grabbed it and intertwined my fingers with hers out of reflex from back then

"U-umm, Leoth, w-would you kindly just stand up and l-let go of my hand"

Her stuttering indicated that she was nervous, the things I learned from dating her was kind of resurfacing, I don't know why but I've felt more than I should've right now than being afraid of her for all these years, why was I even afraid to begin with

Now that I think about it, Kumi was the type of girl who'd hide out of her shy nature if you stare at her for too long, the only exception would be Chet and playboys which she would return with a death stare and a drop kick or whirlwind kick

She never once inflicted pain directly or indirectly on my body, so why did I suddenly gain fear on her, she would even melt into a corner when I once smiled at her while we were holding hands

Did someone hypnotize me?

"So. . . Do you plan on chilling there forever or are you going to tell me what you think of my little test experiment on you?"

Her voice may sounded like she forced a tough attitude and ate rocks for it to work, but her body fidgeted in denial of her actions

Why was I scared of her in the first place?

So I'm guessing Chet karate chopped me while he was still recovering out of fear what she'd do to him if he didn't comply and Kumi carried me over to the pod

Now I wonder why she'd even say

'You're now in my domain, biatch'

Well, she was quite fond of cosplaying and expressions were one of her talents, she kind of loved doing expressions of movie and anime characters, I bet she only did cause she was into the moment

I feel weird somehow, my emotions kind of feel too free and out of the box, did something happen?, my actions feel more natural somehow and my voice is more emphasized

The most weirdest thing is, I don't feel any of Thalia's personalities being returned to me, does that mean the game actually fragmented my brain and downloaded Thalia somehow?, Damn! I think she's probably stuck inside the game while I'm not!

I better move quick and find out what happened!

What is happening!?
