"ughh, my head hurts" I said.
My eyes were a bit blurry so I could not make up where I was but I could see the little bit of it.
It seemed like I was in a forest with greeny pastures and tall trees. My head hurt as if it was being hit with a metal pipe.
As I was thinking about what to do next, the system sent a notification saying…
[The succubus Queen has blessed you with an authority.]
[Authority: Devour]
[Description: Can only be used three times after having sex with a woman and can only be used on monsters.]
"Why did this have to happen to me"
I said while frowning.
Then the System's notification whispered inside my head.
[Lust Core: Active.]
[All senses enhanced.]
My body tingled with proof. Every sound was sharper, every breath of wind on my skin too clear, every scent burning into me. I clenched my fists, grounding myself. This was no dream.
I sat up slowly, groaning, and that's when I heard them. Voices. Not too far away—five of them, soft and musical, the words carried on the breeze.
Elves.
I don't know how I knew at first, but when I staggered toward the sound and saw them, there was no doubt. They were tall, lithe, with hair like woven silk and ears that curved gracefully to points. All five turned to me when I stepped out of the trees, their expressions immediately wary.
One of them—the tallest, with dark green hair—stepped slightly forward. Her eyes narrowed.
"A human?" she said, voice cool, accented. "Here?"
I raised both hands, showing I wasn't a threat. "Wait! I—please, I need help."
Their eyes flicked among each other, nervous. One of them whispered something in a language I didn't understand. Another's hand hovered near the dagger at her waist. None of them looked pleased to see me.
I swallowed hard. "I… I don't mean any harm. I just—I don't even know where I am. Could you at least tell me your names?"
Before any of them could answer, the System slammed into my vision.
[New Quest Generated.]
[To grow in power, host must claim two of the five elves before the end of this week.]
[Failure = permanent loss of Lust Core.]
I stared at the glowing text, my stomach sinking. "You've got to be kidding me…"
The tallest elf frowned. "What did you say?"
I forced a sigh, shaking my head. "Nothing. Just… talking to myself." The System's cruel demand burned in my thoughts. Two of them. Before the week was over. I didn't even know their names yet.
The elves seemed hesitant, but after a long silence, one with auburn hair finally spoke. "If you are lost, we should not leave you to wander. My name is Lythiel." She gestured to the others in turn. "This is Serin, Araveen, Naeya, and Drishia."
I repeated the names carefully. Drishia. The smallest of the group, with silver-blonde hair that caught the sunlight. She looked at me longest, her lips pressing together as if holding back words.
I forced myself to smile. "I… don't remember much. I think I lost some of my memories. I just remember my name—Rin. Rin Kazuki."
Another half-truth. Another lie. The only way forward.
They studied me in silence again, until finally Lythiel nodded. "You are in Sirria, human. The heart of the elven lands, where the Great World Tree rises. From its roots, mana flows through our forests."
The words made my skin prickle. A World Tree? Magic feeding the land?
She continued, voice sharp but not cruel. "To the west lies the human kingdom of Shura. South of us—the demon realm. And beyond that, the land of the Dragon King."
Shura. Demons. Dragons. All of it painted a picture both thrilling and terrifying.
I bowed my head slightly. "Thank you. I… I don't know why I'm here, but if it's not too much trouble, could I rest in your city? Just for a night."
The elves hesitated again. Then Serin, the one with chestnut hair, sighed. "Very well. But do not bring trouble among us, human."
Relief poured through me. "I won't. I promise."
Their city wasn't stone or steel but living wood. Trees shaped into archways and bridges, glowing with veins of light. The mana of the World Tree pulsed in the air, and my Lust Core throbbed faintly in response, as if drinking from it.
They led me to a small chamber woven into a tree's trunk. A simple bed, soft mats, and a window that opened onto the glowing canopy.
"You may stay here tonight," Naeya said curtly. "Do not wander."
I nodded, grateful. "Thank you. Really."
But when they left me alone, my gratitude curdled into dread. The System's quest burned behind my eyes. Two of them. By the week's end. I lay on the bed, staring up at the wooden ceiling, thinking about it until my chest hurt.
What kind of goddamn fate was this? To live, I had to surrender to the same lust that destroyed me before.
Sleep finally pulled me under—uneasy, heavy, restless.
I woke to something good and wet.
Something soft, wet, sliding on my cock. My body jerked awake with a ragged gasp. The room was dark, lit only by the silver glow of moonlight through the window. And there—on the bed between my legs—was Drishia.
Her hair spilled across me like liquid silver. Her lips wrapped around my cock. The wet heat of her mouth sent shivers racing up my spine. My hands clenched the sheets as a moan tore out of me.
"Ahh—ahhh…!"
Her eyes flicked up at me, half-lidded, glowing faintly in the dark. She pressed a finger to her lips, then pulled off just long enough to whisper.
"Shhh. Don't say a word." Her breath was hot, trembling. "I've… always wanted to do this."
Her mouth closed over me again, and my head fell back, the sound of slick blowjob filling the room. The amplified senses from my Lust Core made every stroke unbearable, every vibration of her tongue echo like thunder inside me.
I gasped, moaned, clawed at the sheets. She hummed around me, and the sound made me convulse with pleasure. My hips bucked, my body betraying me.
When I managed to choke out words, my voice broke. "Drishia—wait—I—"
But she silenced me again, her hand pushing against my stomach, her rhythm faster, wetter, merciless. The room filled with the obscene sounds of sex—her lips, her breathing, my ragged moans.
[System Update: Arousal Threshold at 90%.]
I groaned, hips trembling. The heat built higher, unbearable, my breath sharp and broken. And just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, she pulled herself up, straddling me.
The warmth of her pussy against my cock, her breath falling hot on my lips.
"Tonight," she whispered, voice trembling with hunger, "you're mine."
Her weight shifted, her body lowered, and the world dissolved into fire. My moans mixed with hers, her voice rising higher, sharper, until the wooden walls echoed with the sound.
The Lust Core roared inside me, every nerve burning, every sense magnified. I clutched at her waist as the System's voice drowned out thought.
[First Conquest Achieved: Drishia.]
[Reward: +10 Lust Energy, +1 Skill Unlock.]
The rest was lost in a haze of cries and motion, the rhythm of our bodies colliding again and again until the night itself seemed to vanish into nothing but sound and heat.
When sunlight spilled through the window, I woke to find her curled against me. My body ached, but the System's hum told me it had been no dream.
Her silver hair shimmered in the morning light. Her chest rose and fell softly. Her lips curved faintly in sleep.
I stared at her in silence, my thoughts torn between dread and awe.
My first time. My first conquest.
And the beginning of a path I couldn't turn away from now.
