His heartbeat thumped relentlessly.
And so did his head.
His entire body felt like it was about to ignite.
"Damn it! The real culprit is my hormones in this young body."
Even though he carried the soul of a 25-year-old man, he couldn't resist the waves of emotion and desire that overwhelmed him.
But it was understandable. After all, a man was still just a man.
While Hector remained in this awkward state, Berry, who stood nearby, began her next move.
"If you surpass me, you'll receive a gift from me," she said in a seductive tone that could persuade any man to agree.
Of course, Hector was no exception.
Standing before the massive stone, Hector's expression shifted slightly.
A strange urge was pulling him forward, as if her earlier words were a kind of potion.
He sighed, trying to clear his thoughts.
"Damn... that girl is dangerous... I have to keep up with her somehow."
However, his body refused to obey that calm reasoning.
