Chapter 1- The Lighthouse
"Do you like how deep I can go?" A deep, playful voice spoke in the dark in a whispery tone. A hint of breathiness could be heard within his words, as if he were doing a laborious task.
"Mmmm~ You're amazing, darling… So amazing~ Ah~" A feminine, sweet voice replied amidst some moans. The bedsheets rustled, and the sound of the bed shaking echoed in the otherwise silent room.
Inside this room, the two individuals were engaging in a very intimate time. Their bodies entwined together as they got very deep into it. The woman's moans loudened with each thrust, and her fingers gripped into the man's back as if she was searching for support.
"Mmmmm~ Please, faster… faster, I want you to ruin me~"
"Isn't it a dangerous day for you today?" The man asked as he continued thrusting; he couldn't hide the grin forming on his face.
"I don't care~ Please, just please, do me harder. Do me the hardest you cannnn~"
"You got it, princess."
The rhythm increased, and with it, the atmosphere grew even more intense as the bed shook violently. The sound of flesh hitting flesh loudened even more, and the woman seemingly started getting close to climax. Her eyes widened, and her moans loudened as the two locked their lips together.
Everything seemed to be heading toward a rather special moment. It was rare for the woman to ask for such treatment, especially considering their situation. However, at that moment, she felt so much ecstasy that nothing mattered anymore, and she forgot about everything else.
"Ah, ah, ah~ I'm so close~ Please, I'm so close~ Aaaaah!!!"
However, right when the woman thought she was going to release, suddenly, she heard a loud bang on the door, and it was kicked open violently, shining light on the dark room.
"Aline!!! What the hell is going on here?!"
An angry man barged in, his face red with rage as he looked at the bed. "You!! You bastard!"
The woman's eyes widened as she quickly looked up. "D-Dear?? What are you doing here? I thought… You were gone for some work…"
"My suspicion was right… You were sleeping with that bastard!"
"N-No, dear, let me explain."
"No, I'm killing him, right now!!" The man said as he clenched his fists. He had never felt this enraged before in his life. To see his beloved wife being bedded by another man, and for it to be that scoundrel of all people. He never felt more shame in his life.
"Easy there, champ."
At that moment, the man suddenly rose from the bed with a grin on his face, turning to face the husband. Upon seeing the scoundrel's ridiculously gorgeous physique, the husband froze. It was simply mesmerizing. Each muscle on his body looked like it was carved out of marble.
He was tall, muscular, and his face… Something otherworldly. He was so handsome that even the husband had to admit deep down that he was a lady killer. Someone no female can resist. He had medium-length midnight black hair and gorgeous purple eyes that seemed to glisten in the darkness. His skin was perfect and tight with a hint of a tan.
Then, he looked a bit further down, and he realized the second reason why his wife had bedded that man. Something large dangled between his legs, making the man feel shame for a whole different reason.
Picking up his boxers, the man wore them casually before he looked up again. "You really came at the worst time, you know? Your wife was about to climax."
"..."
"Sigh, what a waste. Anyway, she was begging me to impregnate her. It might be time for you two to discuss a baby. After all, you're getting up there with age."
Both stared at him speechlessly. They could not believe someone could be this shameless. He was speaking as if he wasn't the reason this entire problem was happening.
"You… You bastard!!!! You're dead meat!" Finally snapping, the man yelled as he rushed forward to launch a punch. However, the man sidestepped with ease before putting his leg forward, making the man stumble and fall on his face.
"D-Dear!"
"Well, it's time for me to leave." Wearing the rest of his clothes, the man stared at his wife. "Thank you for the time today, gorgeous. Even though your husband interrupted us, next time, we will make sure to finish." Smiling, he winked at her, making her blush.
"Y-You're… going nowhere! Guards!" Rising up, the man rubbed his nose and yelled. At that moment, several men wearing armor rushed in.
"Sir!"
"Catch that bastard! I'm going to skin him alive!"
At the same time, the culprit had already opened the window and put his leg outside.
"Don't let him escape!"
"Well, see ya later, folks!" Saluting with his hand, he threw himself out. The guards rushed to the window, only to realize that he had jumped… From the tenth floor.
"Is he crazy?!"
"No way he can survive this fall!"
A jump from that altitude would easily kill anyone. It was simply unsurvivable.
"Get out of my way!" The husband pushed the guards out of the way and looked outside at the falling silhouette of his enemy. "Did that bastard foolishly fall?"
"..."
"Hahahaha! That end befits you, you bastard! Die!"
Meanwhile, the man himself seemed completely unbothered. His eyes stared at the vast, dimly lit city sprawling before his eyes.
The city of Magalia. A beautiful city located within the walls of the 'Lighthouse'. It has existed for thousands of years, ever since the Great Arthur the Conqueror built the lighthouse as a guide for the people traversing the raging seas of the north.
With its large Orb shining brightly and guiding the ships, this place was a key location where people lived and a point of trading for ships crossing the Arthurian sea.
"Time to see if my little invention is going to work or not." As the wind whistled in his ear, Jack pulled something out of his pocket. It was a translucent white crystal in the shape of a perfect cube. Within that cube was a swirling white energy that seemed to be barely contained within.
Jack didn't hesitate to crush the cube with his bare hand.
*BURST*
Almost immediately, the cube turned into shattered glass before those shards disappeared instantly. A second later, Jack felt the energy invade his body harmlessly. Moving on its own, it accumulated around Jack's back.
A moment later, two large, majestic white wings sprouted from his shoulder blades. The two wings started swinging up and down, and in a matter of moments, Jack's descent stopped, and he started floating in the air as the wings flapped gracefully.
"Hahaha, this is what I'm talking about!" He laughed as he looked down. "Well, as expected of me."
Slowly, Jack started descending to the ground safely.
"What the hell?! That bastard!!!" The man yelled from the skyscraper, his face red with anger. "What are you waiting for?! Go down and get him! I need him here immediately!"
"Y-Yes, sir!"
The guards scarried away to chase Jack. However, deep down, they knew it was going to be an impossible task to find him in a city this big. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Reaching the ground, Jack's wings dispersed on their own.
"Hmmm, I need to work on their speed and how long they last. I've had a breakthrough in animal shapeshifting, but… It's still far from perfect." He muttered before he started walking through the busy streets of the city as if nothing had happened.
Many saw his descent, but the reaction wasn't that strong. It was merely another one of Jack's crazy inventions. This city had seen him do the most bizarre things before, and this was but another day at the job.
He had been in and out of prison due to his crazy ideas, but that never stopped him from experimenting and doing whatever he wanted.
'I am the greatest scientist this world has ever seen. Nothing can stop a great mind like mine from doing what I want.'
Ever since he was a kid, Jack has always been someone with a unique mind. He was a curious and smart child who found himself completely in love with science, inventions, and the mysterious energy called Soul Power.
He naturally excelled at school and eventually dropped out after he found it to be boring and restricting. Ever since, he has dedicated his time to learn everything that he could learn about this world.
He learned about Soul Power, how to harness it from the atmosphere around them, and how he can use it to create things like that crystal that formed his magical wings.
'My theory that Soul Power can manifest and create anything from pure energy is only being confirmed more and more every day. This discovery might be the first of its kind in history.'
With a confident smile on his face, he walked through the city toward his home.
It was a Monday, so the city was bustling with movement. People were going about their business.
Above their heads, rays of light illuminated the world. However, one look up, and one could see that the source of that light wasn't the sun, nor was it the moon. Instead, Thousands of meters in the air, way above at the very peak of the Lighthouse, was the 'Orb'. A giant crystal hundreds of meters in length, pulsating with endless energy.
That object was the most important thing in the entire Lighthouse. Not only did it illuminate the Arthurian Sea for the ships, but it also worked as a sun for those who were inside. It was responsible for the seasons, the temperature, and the survival of every single person living inside.
It had been pulsating nonstop for the past several thousand years, and it became the symbol of hope and strength for the Magalians.
"Hm, hm, hm…" Humming as he walked, Jack pulled out his phone and checked it. While he was having fun with that woman, his friend had sent him a message. "Oh? What does he want?"
"Hey Jack~~"
As he was about to reply to the message, he felt an arm wrap around his body from behind before soft breasts pressed against his back. Looking back, he saw a woman staring back at him, with a seductive smile on her face. Her hands started rubbing his hard abs and chest.
"Where have you been last night?~ I was looking for you~"
"I was busy with some work." He turned around and faced her. "Did you miss me that much?"
The girl seemed completely in a daze, staring at his ridiculously handsome face and hypnotizing eyes.
"Yes~ I need that, you know me. Nobody else can satisfy me beside you."
"Well, tough luck, sweetheart. I will be busy for a while. Maybe I can come over to your house next time." He said as he pulled himself away.
"Noooo~ I know you also missed it~" As a last resort, the girl put her hand on his crotch as she leaned forward. "Come with me, and I will make you forget about everything~" She then rubbed it a few times for good measure.
She knew how seductive she was. Every man in the city desired her, and she desired him the most. But this man was a very tough nut to crack, and he didn't get swayed by her charms at all.
However, much to her surprise, Jack's hand crept to her neck as he wrapped his fingers around her throat. Then, he clenched slightly as he leaned in and whispered.
"Don't test your luck too much. I don't like girls who are too pushy with it." His voice was sharp and cold, sending chills down her spine. Then, he pulled away and smiled innocently again. "Now, if you will excuse me!"
Leaving the girl in complete shock and awe, he walked away. A second later, her legs gave out as she fell to the ground. A mix of deep fear and an indescribable thrill filled her body. Her heart couldn't stop beating loudly.
"What… was that?"
