Chapter 47 [Bonus ] 47: Ranking And Rewards! [Part 1]
The dreary graveyard began to fade as the pair entered the light; Alex walked with a slight limp as a loud series of cracks emanated from his body while regenerating, causing him to wince in pain, letting out a slight grunt of anguish.
"Fuck it hurts so much; why did I have to take so many blows."
Stella's hand swung faster to make him hurt even more, with a sneaky grin on her face.
"Hmph! Why didn't I see you speaking about pain when your huge cock was tearing Megan and Patricia apart! It hurts when things slam into a normal girl's cervix, you know?"
"Ugh... That's different."
'Hehe~ such a stupid man, look at him looking away! Stella's victory.'
They both walked through the door completely as the light faded; Stella suddenly felt a harsh pain in her ass, followed by a loud smack.
This bastard had slapped her ass, groping her momentarily before letting go!
'Ah, what a nice ass, succubi are so good.' Alex thought before he saw Stella moving swiftly, her body rippling with black mist, before her right hand shot forward and grabbed tightly onto his crown jewels, her fingers kneading them as she looked up at him; her azure eyes narrowed as if she had won something.
"I can see why you do this now... feeling a nice cock is good," Stella murmured as she stroked along his crotch before skipping away with little hops, dodging Alex, who tried to swipe at her ass again in revenge.
Stella looked up at him, imitating a video she saw online, giving Alex a thumbs up, sticking her cute tongue out, and sliding across her seductive red lips.
"Nice cock! Fufu~ can't catch me~ hahaha."
Bang!
"Ouch... My head hurts..."
"Hahaha... Argh! Fuck it hurts."
Alex watched as the voluptuous red-haired succubus slammed into a strange stone pedestal before she almost fell to the ground, causing him to chuckle and point at her before the laugh hurt his still-broken ribs caused him to go down to one knee in agony.
It took several minutes for the pair to recover as Stella tried to thrust an elbow into Alex's chest. At the same time, he twisted his body, putting one palm on her shoulder and pushing her upper body into a bowing position before his left hand swung down, cutting through the air with a loud resounding smack!
Her ass trembled as her fleshy cheeks clapped from the full strength of the petty ghoul.
"Ahn~ don't slap my ass in the same place every damn time! Bastard, hmph!"
Alex stroked along her, enjoying the silky texture of her flesh through the thin skirt she had switched to after their constant fighting.
"Then, if I slap another spot? Like" Pah! He gently tapped the other cheek, grabbing her soft flesh in his hand, roughly pulling on her as he enjoyed her body shuddering before throwing a kick to his shin. "Here is okay right?"
'Bastard! Why am I born a succubus? Stop, it's making me wet... stupid bastard, cheating with his damn mind control...'
Thud!
"Hmph! See if I save you next time, stupid."
Stella harrumphed as she kicked his shin, but there was no power, and her foot stroked along his leg, maybe unconsciously, as it felt more comfortable than painful.
'This girl, she gets cuter each moment I'm with her... If I compare them, Sarah would be a wild rose, Amy would be poison ivy, and Stella would be a cute daisy or venus flytrap, as I cannot remove my mind from her.'
He didn't forget Claire, but she wasn't as close to him, and for all he knew, she might wish to go separate ways in the end as she was always a good girl and hated to cause pain to people.
Shaking his head, his eyes fixated on Stella, whose body shone in the light of the strange village, her eyes almost glowing as she pulled on his hand, a bright smile almost confusing his heart.
'A damn natural succubus!' Alex thought, letting her pull him towards the village.
The sun began to rise over the hidden realm; that's how Alex would describe it; a small village became clearer as they passed through the doorway.
A small forest of trees surrounded the village.
While a protective barrier shimmering with a gold light seemed to stop all intruders and defend the village, Alex noticed that the people inside moved faster than normal. Also, the time seemed a little different.
'It seems to be in a different time axis; minutes pass in there while only a moment passed here.'
"Can we go inside? Look at those cool weapons!" Stella looked towards him, now holding his hand as if it was natural, her fingers stroking his knuckles almost the same as he did for her.
'This girl...'
'I feel a little more relaxed holding his hand. Hmph! This is your reward for trying so hard; let's ensure he doesn't fight that way in the future... Stupid Alex.'
"Ah, let's head inside soon."
The villagers continued their morning routines, some tending to their gardens while others went to the village's small church, but it was so rapid for the pair, like watching a sim game in fast forward or triple speed.
Alex noticed a grand church in the distance, a beautiful stone building with stained-glass windows that shone in the morning sun.
Many villagers knelt in prayer, their voices carrying softly through the peaceful space. Outside the church, a blacksmith hammered away at a piece of iron, sparks flying around him.
The clang was so loud it reached even outside the barrier; a strange feeling of entering a fantasy world filled Alex and Stella, seeing countless strange races; feline women with cat-like faces, while there were normal women with beast-like ears and whiskers.
'It's like they cater to every fetish...' Stella thought, thinking about those strange but amusing books for those who like the more furry type of woman.
Alex, on the other hand, enjoyed the swaying ass of the priestess; her lips were pink, and she had long, pointed ears and dark, caramel skin as she seemed to apply some strange magic onto the adventurers that bowed to her; golden light would flow from her entire body.
The sheer opposite of Stella as small cuts and bruises faded in seconds, even faster than Alex's regeneration.
'I'd love to stick my face in that ass and taste her flavour...' Alex's mind fell into the gutter for a moment before it recovered and finished surveying the small village.
He looked up as a group of travellers passed, their armour and weapons gleaming in the sunlight.
Further down the road, a large inn bustled with activity.
Travellers sat outside, enjoying a hearty breakfast and swapping stories of their adventures. The common room was filled with even more travellers, some planning their next adventure while others rested from their long journey.
A bustling market filled the village's centre, with vendors selling trinkets, weapons, and all sorts of odds and ends. A group of children chased each other around a nearby fountain, laughing and playing.
"It looks like a normal fantasy village; the people look so happy, but are they real people?"
- "Some call them the forsaken, those whose world has long fallen."
'Ah, isn't this old man going to try and scam the 400 coins back from me somehow?'
- "Oi! Don't take me for some common thief; I am..."
'Don't care, don't read my mind, damn old man!'
- "...."
A sad old man's deep breath sounded before it vanished.
- "If you need my aid, come to the church; that crazy bitch has just begun her little game..."
Alex didn't give a snarky response, just responding to the man with a nod, hoping the old guy could see his action; suddenly, a strange thing entered Alex's vision.
In the very centre of the market, a large blue portal stood over 3 meters high, its shimmering surface almost too bright to look at directly.
Suddenly, a group of adventurers appeared from nowhere and entered the portal, their weapons ready. The villagers watched in awe as the adventurers vanished into the portal's swirling blue surface, leaving behind only the echoes of their footsteps. The portal remained, its surface undisturbed as if nothing had happened.
"What's that blue thing?" Stella also looked towards it as they approached the golden veil, almost passing two pedestals beside a small archway to enter the golden barrier.
"I don't know, but it's kinda like a game, right? Maybe they went to some strange world to fight monsters or something?" Alex said, his voice filled with excitement; although he loved martial arts, since childhood, his mother was a big fan of old RPG games and would make him watch her play them, as she got "lonely" playing alone.
'Mother, you would enjoy this so much! I will come for you, but I am not strong enough yet... Even simple humans can stop me; please be safe.'
Alex wasn't worried because his mother was tougher than Sarah and her guards. He never asked what his mother did, but she always wore black leather and seemed skilled with throwing and shooting games in the arcade.
'Not to mention, that woman would kick my ass even after 10 years of martial arts training...'
While Alex thought the day wore on inside the veil as time passed.
The village sprang to life even more, with more travellers arriving and the villagers doing their daily business.
But the memory of the adventurers' sudden appearance and disappearance lingered in the air, adding a sense of mystery and excitement to the already magical village in the hidden realm.
"Ah! Alex, look! These boxes have our names on them! Fufu~ what's in my golden chest? I can't wait~ open for me~ come, Alexander ~ open your chest with me!"
Stella swayed her body, leaning against a golden chest, her huge breasts almost pushing the chest off the pedestal as she looked back towards Alex with shining eyes.
'Hmmm?'
Alex looked at the two pedestals, one on the right and the other on the left.
-Alexander Damian Faust
Then the other.
-Stellaria Tu Formosa
Both boxes were glowing with a beautiful shimmering glow, much like the barrier outside the village; when Alex tried to touch Stella's box, it jolted him with a painful bolt of electricity.
"Ahhh!? Fucking cheeky box!" Alex groaned.
Meanwhile, Stella began to mock him, using her shadow mantle to play with Alex's box, trying to push it off the pedestal to "accidentally" open it.
"Silly Alexander~ poor Alexander~ what a cute name!"
"Shut up!" He retorted, raising the hand that spanked her ass as she began to cover both cheeks to protect them as she still felt the pleasant ache in her rear.
"You won't threaten me!" Her shadowy mantle pushed even more in defiance.
'You can slap it all you like! I won't bend or break to your sexual brainwashing! I will treat you as my magic wand!'
Alex grunted, before kicking the pedestal and moving to his chest, bumping Stella out of the way with his hips as she stumbled and acted dramatically.
'This girl seems to be getting cheekier... yet why am I growing fonder of her?'
His eyes widened in fear.
'She doesn't have a system like mine, right!? There's no "Alexander Damian Faust" Favourability bar for her, right!?'
Alex didn't need to worry, and it was mostly his excitement from the battle and him not realising how much fun it was to joke around with a girl that still resisted him after all their contact and drinking his blood.
His fingers swayed in the air, the golden light wrapping around his fingers like silk before fading into his flesh, and a lock opening sounded with a loud thunk!
The chests were large, made of dark black wood with beautiful engravings of a strange language that looked like runes and sigils, but he couldn't make heads or tails of them.
Even the "Eagle Eyes" skill showed nothing helpful.
- A Golden Chest
Gifted to the ones who break the first trial of the Forsaken Village.
Once per area.
With a shake of his head, he clicked the golden latches open before the heavy lid opened; bursting from inside was a dense light, filled with shimmering particles of light, causing his green eyes to begin to feel blinded.
Stella, too, covered her eyes with a slight yelp as she opened hers.
A moment later.
They both heard a voice.
