Chapter 2: The Horny Succubus
The dream realm shifts from mysterious to intoxicating. The air thickens with ambient magic, pulsing in rhythm with Riya's emotions.
The soft glow of starlight and shifting illusions gives the environment a sensual warmth—everything bends subtly in Merlin's favor.
Riya sits in disbelief, still trying to digest what Merlin had told him.
His sarcasm falters, replaced with unease and curiosity.
Merlin, ever the enchantress, takes advantage. Her words drip with double meaning, and her movements seem calculated to draw him in.
She's not just mythical; she's temptation incarnate.
"Connection," she repeats, her fingers trailing along his shoulder. "If you want to wield our powers… you must bond with us—body, mind, and spirit."
Riya glares, but his resistance is already fraying. "So, you're saying I need to bang my way to power?"
Merlin giggles—teasing and unbothered. "If that's how your mind interprets it, who am I to argue?"
She circles him like a predator, every step slow and deliberate, her eyes locked onto his like she's already undressing his soul.
"You want power?" she purrs. "Then you'll have to take it the only way it can be given—through desire."
Her hand slides across his chest, fingers trailing heat through his shirt. He shivers—not from fear, but from the magnetic pull between them.
"You hide behind sarcasm. But I can smell the hunger on you—lonely, bitter, aching.
Stop pretending. If you want power. If you want love. Then there are only three things you need to do"
"Sleep, fuck and do it all over again"
Her voice is silk laced with fire, and her body presses into his with purpose—to seduce and to bind.
This is pure pleasure—it's a magical contract written in heat and breath.
Then it begins.
Their lips meet—slow, electric. The kiss ignites a surge of mana that rushes through him like molten lightning.
And before he know it they have already started "connecting." They have become one.
Her Saint Graph fuses with his in a blinding wave of sensation.
He gasps as her Skills, her stats, her entire being pours into him.
His heart races, overwhelmed by the raw ecstasy of the connection.
Now and forever she is part of him—her instincts, her strength, her Noble Phantasms pulsing just beneath his skin.
And in that moment, Riya realizes: this isn't just sex. It's power. It's survival. It's how gods make contracts.
As his body trembles with new power, Merlin whispers in his ear:
"This is just a taste, Riya. One of many."
He collapses to one knee, drenched in magical energy—and something else.
Exhaustion? Ecstasy?
He doesn't know yet. But the connection is forged.
Far away, beyond the confines of Riya's reality, Zelretch watches.
The 2nd Magic hums around him as he scrolls through timelines.
Why?
because all of them aren't flowing normally.
And it seems that one burns like a comet.
A teenage boy, unconscious. Dozens of female Saint Graphs spiraling around his soul like planets around a sun. Impossible. Dangerous. Divine.
More disturbing is the curl of red magic surrounding the boy.
Zelretch frowns. "Someone's trying to erase him before the convergence even starts…"
He raises his hand. "Time to interfere."
The shady figure—still cloaked in shadow—stands outside Riya's home. He watches silently as the magic takes root.
He believes the job is done.
He whispers an incantation. "Let none remain," he says coldly.
A spark flares.
Then—fire.
The house erupts into flames, shattering glass and memory. Riya's parents and sister are gone in an instant. A peaceful, mundane life—reduced to ash.
Meanwhile, Riya sleeps on in another world, unaware that the world he knew and loved was not the same anymore.
