Did I reincarnated?" [ Ding. Lust system initiated.] This world has magic and beauties that none in his previous life can compare. Join Exciting journey of Our MC. How he will get both s

Chapter 1 Prologue

"So we are going camping in the forest tomorrow and Max, please don't make any excuse. You have to come with us." He paused for a moment, then winked and continued because Alison is coming too."

Two boys, around 20 years of age, were walking along the road. The name of the one who just spoke was Jacob. He had blonde hair, A handsomely chiselled face, a fit body, and was wearing branded clothes.

The other one walking by his side was Max. Compared to Jacob, Max didn't have any striking features. He looked just above average and had short brown hair. He was wearing a loose full-sleeved t-shirt and jeans.

'This guy, Jacob, is my only best friend. I sometimes wonder why he chose to be my friend, who was just a regular college student and didn't have anything because of which he would want to be my friend. After all, everyone only befriends someone of their stature, especially in our college where social hierarchy is followed.'

'The hierarchy is divided into three levels. Rich, middle-classed and Poor. Poor are treated no different from some worthless pigs. And it pains me to accept, but I'm barely in the middle class of this so-called hierarchy, and this guy belongs to the top and is very wealthy as his father is a business tycoon.'

'Well, I don't really have any problem with any of this. The one thing that bothers me more than anything is that I'm still a virgin. A 20-year-old virgin.'

'The Alison he mentioned is one of the most beautiful girls of our college whom I have had a huge crush on since the first year of the college, and I want to do it only with the girl I love, who in this case is Alison.'

'I know it's quite foolish to dream of her given that I don't have anything which will attract her to me. But Jacob sometimes makes it possible for me and Alison to meet. However, she hasn't spoken even a single word to me till now. But who knows, maybe she will slowly come to like me.'

"Okay, I will also come then." I immediately nodded. I wouldn't let any chance to be with her slip by.

"It's settled then. Let's go and drink for now. Kate is coming too after some drinks. I'm going to have some fun with her tonight. You are welcome to join us if you want." Jacob had a teasing smile on his face as he said this.

"Nah! I'm going to skip on that. I have to pack my stuff for tomorrow. You go enjoy your drinks and 'Kate'." I laughingly said.

Kate is one of his girlfriends. Whenever he had plans with her, he would always invite me. But I don't know if he is serious about it and but I don't want to think of doing something with his girlfriends even if he is. It would make me look like a horny bastard.

Sometimes I think I should just do it and finally say goodbye to my everlasting virginity.

...

After that, He parted ways with Jacob and came straight home. He lives alone in a simple one-room apartment. As He is still in college, his dad sends him his monthly allowance, which is barely enough for rent, food and college fees. So he works part-time to earn some extra cash and lower the burden on his father.

He was a little excited about tomorrow's trip because he would have the chance to spend some time with Alison, and hopefully, his days of jerking off alone in this cramped apartment might soon come to an end.

He quickly packed some necessary stuff for the camping trip and also a packet of condoms just in case before going to sleep.

After 20 years without having sex and when everyone around you does it every day. You would naturally become a pervert with only sex in your mind.

Max woke up early in the morning, freshened up, had some light breakfast, and then went to the meeting point where they had decided to meet.

He was the first to arrive and thus had to wait for others. After waiting for more than one hour, everyone started coming.

"Hello Max, How are you?" Ron, one of his classmates, greeted him.

"I'm good, man. How are you?" Max returned the greeting casually.

Jacob was last to arrive. He came in his car with Alison.

Max frowned a little and thought, 'There homes are in different parts of the city. How come they came together?'

After getting out of the car, Jacob spotted Max looking in their direction and smiled. He then walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "I had to pick your crush from her home, or she wouldn't have come, and you wouldn't have any chance to spend some time with her."

"Ohh!" Max exclaimed in a low voice. He felt something was weird but ignored it and said, "Thanks, Jacob. You have to help me get close to her on this trip, okay!"

"Yeah! Don't worry about that. I'll even 'help' you fuck her." Jacob smirked

"Nah, I can manage that by myself. You just help me befriend her." Max laughed.

Then, They all got on their bus, which would take them to their destination.

It was quite a long journey. When they reached the camping area, it was already evening. They took their time to set up some tents and make food. When it was nighttime, all of them sat around the bonfire, drinking and chatting merrily with one another.

Everyone soon got drunk. There were Some couples who started kissing while the rest of them cheered. It was a joyful atmosphere.

—

Max was chatting and drinking leisurely with some of his other friends when he saw that Jacob was no longer around. And After a few minutes, Alison got up and went into the forest.

Max felt that something was up. 'Why is she going into the forest alone at night?' His curiosity piqued. He was also concerned about her safety; therefore, he went after her.

After walking in the forest for a while, he suddenly stopped; meanwhile, his mind went blank from watching the scene in front of him.

Alison was leaning back against a tree and kissing someone. Max knew the identity of the man, and that is the reason why he found it hard to believe. The man was Jacob, his best friend who was supposed to help him get close to Alison.

...

They were kissing passionately. Alison had her hands around his neck while Jacob's hands were moving all over her body.

Max couldn't understand why his best friend, who knew that he was deeply in love with her, was doing something with her behind his back.

Max felt betrayed. He now understood the meaning behind Jacob's vague words when he said, "Don't worry, I will help you fuck her." and his previous remarks where he would occasionally talk about Alison and when he occasionally met her with him, but she would only talk to him and why they came together in the morning.

It seemed they had already a thing going on between them for a long time now if he had just thought about it clearly. But he, the lovestruck fool, Who overly believed in his best friend, didn't realise this.

Max stood rooted behind a tree and watched them making out. He wanted to go there and punch him in the face, but he couldn't move. He kept watching while they continued their 'activity', and soon they were naked. Jacob made her stand in doggy style while he did her from behind. He could hear their moaning clearly.

Max wanted to go there and ask why didn't he tell him when he already had an affair going on with her so he could have moved on. But he didn't even move a finger. He was just too shocked.

While watching them having sex in the open, Max suddenly heard some rustling noises coming from behind. He turned his neck around to see what it was.

He was thunderstruck when he saw that there was a wild bear only ten meters behind him and was coming toward him with a savage expression on its face.

It didn't give Max any chance to react and directly lunged at him with its mouth open wide.

*CRUNCH!*

It bit his neck in a snap. Max could feel a sharp pain in his neck before his consciousness started fading away.

"How can my luck be this shitty? I'm going to die without any chance to lose my virginity. Without even asking for an explanation from my so-called best friend. Even without punching him in the face and at least breaking his nose. This world has been too unfair to me. At least let me lose my virginity before dying. Fuucccck! Fuck this world...!"

These were his last thoughts before he lost his consciousness in endless darkness.

Chapter 2 Reincarnation?

'Mm?'

'What is this?'

'I can think again? But didn't I die already? Was I saved by someone?'

'Shit! I don't know how many days I will have to spend in the hospital recuperating.'

'Thank god! I still have my health insurance or I might have gone broke because of this.'

—

—

Max felt his consciousness 'waking up.' He thought he was saved by someone, most likely it should have been Jacob, his so-called best friend.

Then he panicked thinking about how much money he would have to spend in the hospital. After all, he was just a college student with a low paying part time job and was mostly just leeching off of his father who was not rich in any way.

'Mmm? it doesn't seem to be a hospital room.' Max slowly opened his eyes and was confused because it was not like any hospital room, it was more like a luxurious hotel room.

He slowly got up and sat on the bed.

'No! It is not a hotel room. It's some kind of Palace room. Wow! It's bigger than my whole apartment.'

'I think Jacob brought me to his home. Only his house can be this luxurious, I guess. but why would that bastard would bring me to his home.'

He was laying in a luxurious looking bed which was at least double the size of a king-sized bed. He was wearing a silky white long robe. He then looked around the room.

The room was very spacious with very pompous looking decorations. On the left side of his bed was a big wooden closet. A table built from some shiny stone was in the middle of the room with one chair beside it. Some fruits were placed on the table. Apart from these the room was empty.

'It feels very good to be rich...Ahh!' He was having this thought when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

He touched his head and found it was bandaged with some kind of comfortable fabric and had a wound on the back of his head which was mostly healed.

'Hmm? What is this? I clearly remember I was bit on neck by that bear, it should be a neck injury, not a head injury.'

'Well shoot it. I'm still alive. this is what it matters.' Thinking this he got up from the bed.

"Whaat!"

He unconsciously shouted out. When he stood on his feet he noticed that his body was actually not his. This body was weak and thin as a bamboo. His skin was milky white, different from his skin tone.

He panicked a little and quickly ran toward the mirror Which was in the bathroom.

He was stunned when he saw his reflection in the mirror.

In the mirror, there was a boy who looked around 18 years old. His hair and eyes were Sapphire blue which looked exceptionally beautiful. His skin tone was milky white. A handsome face with a sharp nose bridge and Cherry lips.

He was a very good looking boy but his body was very weak. Max had a good quite good physique in his previous life although he was not as handsome.

Max stood there for a while with a blank expression, thinking what had just happened to him.

"Did I reincarnate?...in this body?" Max mumbled.

"Ahhh! Young master? Where is the Young Master?" While he was still dazed in front of the mirror, A shrill shriek sounded out in the room.

Max got startled upon hearing this voice. He calmly went out of the bathroom. He knew he will get his answers soon.

When he arrived in the room he saw a very beautiful young lady dressed in a maid's uniform. She had silky black hair, Crystal clear eyes and a very good figure. Max felt a jolt in his heart seeing her beauty.

'She is even more beautiful than Alison and these clothes it seems she is only a maid or is she cosplaying...?' Max thought.

Seeing him coming out of the bathroom and then looking at her intently maid blushed slightly and lowered her head.

She then inquired carefully, "Young master are you feeling alright? Should I bring some medicine?"

Max was silent for a few seconds "It's okay but let me ask you something." he waved his hand and spoke calmly.

"Yes, young Master please ask anything." The maid replied instantly.

"First of all tell me what is your name?" Max asked still looking at her up and down.

"Eh?"

The maid looked at max in surprise but when she saw his expression was serious. She again held her head down and spoke

"It's Lilly, Young Master." She replied with a hint of worry in her voice.

'It seems Young Master doesn't remember me because of the injury on his head.' She thought but was even more surprised to hear his next question.

"What is my name?" Max asked again.

"Y-Young Master, did you also forget your name?" She asked stunned but a hint of relief could be seen in her eyes.

'It seems Young Master didn't forget only me. eh? it seems his injury was more serious than we thought.' Lilly thought while peeking at him from time to time.

"No I didn't forget anything but it seems my memories are a bit hazy. When I try to remember something my head hurts. So tell me everything you know about me." Max lied with a straight face and a calm voice but inwardly he was quite nervous.

Because it seems he is some Young Master and in the fantasy novels he read, there were always some conspiracies going against them. If he is right and reincarnated in the body of some Young Master then he has to stay alert. Who knows, his siblings or uncle etc wanted to eliminate him to be the successor of their property or something.

'Yeah it is a bit weird but there is no harm in being cautious.' Max mumbled to himself.

Following this Lilly told him everything she knew about him very patiently.

It seems through some kind of coincidence, the name of the previous owner of his body was also Maxwell with the family name Garfield. He was the Young Master of the Garfield family.

He was very intelligent and very curious about many things but was physically weak and didn't have any talent in magic thus he was often treated scornfully by his siblings, Noah and William and others who were quite talented in magic.

He was very shocked to hear that he really reincarnated in some fantasy world. Because his father Ashton Garfield was a Viscount of Claymore town and shockingly he was also a powerful 'mage'. Yeah! Magic exist in this world meaning he is not on Earth anymore.

Maxwell Garfield was the youngest in his family who just turned 18 a few days ago. To celebrate his birthday he went to the forest alone with a few guards to hunt some monsters for the feast but there they encountered a powerful beast who killed some of his guards and Max got a serious injury to his head, thus he was unconscious for five days now.

Chapter 3 Situation

Following this Max asked her everything she knew about him, his parents, his siblings and even their guards, maids, butler etc and most importantly magic.

Lilly was very confused at this but she calmly explained to him everything as it was her duty to serve her young master.

After hearing everything Lilly had to say he wore a complicated expression on his face as he didn't know how to react.

Lilly stood quietly at the side of his bed. She guessed that he didn't remember because of the injury to his head and will remember everything slowly.

Little did she know that Max, apart from the memories of his previous life didn't have a single memory whatsoever and it seemed like he won't remember anything either. All of 'this' Max's memories disappeared with his death.

After staying silent for almost 30 minutes, Max finally collected his thoughts and accepted that he has reincarnated in this magic world for real.

'So my name is coincidentally Max, Maxwell Garfield, sixth and youngest son of Viscount Ashton Garfield...' Max started recollecting all the information he has just received.

He has three brothers and two sisters, all of whom are his half brothers and sisters because his father and his mother only had him while these others are with different wives of his father. Yeah! Polygamy is allowed here and if you are a noble like his father, you can marry as many women as you want. This means this is a paradise for adults like him on earth.

There are various things that decide your status here but most important of all is your strength. If you are a powerful mage or magic warrior people will respect you and some kings might officially appoint you as a noble if you are not one from birth. He came to know many things related to this new world but those are not very important for now.

Through some coincidence or maybe this is his fate, he doesn't have his mother alive just like in his previous life. She passed away eight years ago due to some illness when Max was only ten years old. Everyone says his mother was the most beautiful woman in Claymore town. And it seems he has inherited it from his mother this is the second-best thing he considered after his reincarnation.

The first one of course that he is no longer poor and can have anything he needs. His brothers are married while the eldest brother, Mark Garfield, has married two beautiful wives. His sisters and he are not married yet.

His siblings always mock him because of his poor talent in magic with the exception of Anna who is two years older than him. She is the only one in his family after his father who loves him.

As for Lilly, She is His personal maid who most of the time stays with him and serves him when he is in the Manor. Max as weak as he is, rarely goes out of the manor and spends most of his time in the library or the garden taking care of the plants and flowers which he had planted himself.

His father, Ashton Garfield, doesn't really care about him being weak and loves him very much. But as he is The Viscount of Claymore town, he is mostly busy with his duties therefore, he can't spend time with his children.

"Phew!"

Max exhaled after making a short plan in his mind as to how he is going to live here without making anyone suspicious of him or come to find any trouble with him.

He glanced at Lilly who still stood beside him like a statue.

He patted down on the bed to his side and said with a smile "Don't keep standing there, come sit here." 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝

Lilly hesitated for a second then sat beside him.

"Lilly, I hope you will not tell anyone about me forgetting my memories as I don't want anyone to worry because of it." Max said while gazing at her beautiful face which had a hint of shyness on it.

"Yes, Young master this servant will obey your command." Lilly immediately stood up and bowed.

Max smiled at her while enjoying the feeling of being a 'Young master'.

"Ohh Lilly, did you forget I said to sit beside me and not to stand there?" Max asked in a slightly angry tone.

"N-no, Pardon me, young master." She again obediently sat beside him.

"Now let me ask you something? But remember not to mention anything about it to anyone okay?" Max spoke with a serious face.

"Yes, P-please ask young master." She hurriedly replied after noticing his expression.

"You are my personal maid right! What kind of my orders will you follow or what kind of not?" Max asked after pondering for a moment. He wanted to know before he did something which might not be favourable to him.

"Eh?"

Lilly was surprised by this question. She didn't understand exactly what he wanted to ask.

"What? Didn't you hear me? Should I repeat myself?" Max asked but this time he was slightly nervous. He didn't know what kind of order their servants will obey in this world. Although in many novels these types of young masters do anything they want with their maids but not everything can be applied in the real world.

"N-No I heard you, young master. Young master can give me any kind of order you want except for betraying Garfield manor as I'm not allowed to do so." Lilly explained.

'Well, I don't need you to betray anyone.' Max grinned thinking this.

"That's very good then."

"Tell me something. Will someone come to visit me now?" He asked after a sudden thought crossed his mind, after all, he doesn't want to be caught in 'action' just after coming to this world. That would be embarrassing.

"After dinner young miss Anna might come to visit the young master and if Master Ashton is free he too will come," Lilly replied after thinking for a moment.

After hearing his peculiar questions She started to have an idea of what her young master wanted to order her next and because of this, she started feeling a little antsy.

"Is that so?"

Max turned towards her, looking at her as if a beast would look at its prey.

Chapter 4 Lilly

'Sigh! Forget it. I should not force a sweet girl like her to do 'it'.' Max changed his mind after seeing her innocent face filled with a hint of panic.

'On a second thought, my body is extremely weak for me to do any 'vigorous' activity. I should first focus on recovering from this injury and making my body a little stronger.'

'After all, now I have everything I could have want. I know this... but I still can't help but think of doing something with her. '

'Tch, It's okay. She won't run away or anything. I have more than enough time for that.' Max finally settled his thoughts.

"Lilly go and fetch some medicine to help me heal my injury faster and bring some food too. I'm starving right now!" Max calmly said with a faint smile on his lips.

"Yes! Young master, Right away!" Saying this she bowed and left his room.

Watching her leave Max smiled with a hint of lust in his eyes.

'Thanks to my reincarnation I have many chances to enjoy sex in this life due to my status as a noble. But the problem is my weak body and it seems everyone's talent in magic is regarded too highly by the people here. My status as a noble won't always guarantee enjoyment and safety" Max got lost in his thoughts. How can he live here comfortably without having everyone look down upon him due to him being weak?

"Let's take a bath first. Shall we?" Max muttered and took his sleeping robe off and went to the bathroom, naked. His perverted mind was beginning to work without stopping.

— 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

After soaking into the huge bathtub in which four to five people can comfortably bathe together. he looked down toward his 'Little brother' which was standing upright with its head pointing toward the ceiling.

'It seems the only part of my body which can be considered outstanding is only this. It's good at least girls will be thoroughly satisfied by it. Hehe.' Max grinned lasciviously.

After 10 minutes he heard Lilly's voice "Young master, I have brought medicine and food for you."

"Okay, I'm coming out. Prepare some fresh and comfortable clothes for me." Max ordered.

"Yes, young master!" Lilly's reply was instant.

—

—

Soon he came out with a towel wrapped around the lower part of the body.

Lilly was standing with a white silky robe and pants in her hands beside the crystal table, on which his food and medicine were placed.

—

—

Watching Max coming out of the bathroom, Lilly hastily came toward him with the clothes in her hands which he thought is something she prepared for him to wear.

Max grabbed toward them but Lilly spoke at that moment.

"Young master it's my duty to serve you. Let me put this robe on you." Saying this she went behind him and started to help him put on the robe which reached his knees.

Max was enjoying how he was treated like a king here.

"Seeing this you are so skilled in helping me wear my clothes. By any chance do you always help me wearing them?" Max asked curiously.

"Yes, young master. It has been many years since I was assigned to you so I help you daily in any way necessary." She replied like it was a normal thing for her.

After putting on the robe she came in front of max and sat on her knees.

Max was gobsmacked at this scene. 'Is she going to blow me or something?' When this thought crossed his mind his 'little brother' was aroused once again and made a tent with his robe in front of her face. Lilly didn't show any reaction but her face was turning red.

But soon she disappointed him by taking out pyjamas and helping him wear them.

—

—

Max shook his head and smiled at himself for thinking perverted thoughts. He stopped her and said "It's okay. I'll be very comfortable in Only this robe. I don't need to wear any pants in my own room right."

Lilly looked at him strangely for a second then nodded her head and stood up.

"Young master please have your meal." She then proceeded to serve him food.

Max started eating. There were some meat dishes, salad etc. It looked like he was dining in some 7-star hotel. Everything was very palatable.

Once he started eating Max even forget about Lilly who was standing behind him watching him eat like a barbarian who has starved for a month.

"Ohh! Lilly come sit and eat with me. It's more than enough for us two." As he finally came to his senses he gestured her to sit beside him.

Lilly was startled by his sudden request but soon collected her thoughts and shook her head "N-no young master, As a servant, I'm not allowed to dine with my master."

"Even If it's on your master's order?" Max squinted his eyes a little, to show his dissatisfaction.

Lilly felt nervous seeing his expression. She then sat down after slight hesitation.

Max patted her on the shoulder and smiled "When it's only two of us I want you to be comfortable around me okay!"

Lilly was about to speak when Max put his finger on her rosy red lips.

"Shush! This is my order. You can't disobey my command right?" Max grinned mischievously.

"Yes, young master. I'll follow your command." Lilly reluctantly nodded.

—

After they had their meals together and Max took his medicine, Lilly was no longer so stiff around him.

Max started asking about her and Lilly happily told him everything he asked. But when he asked her about her family she became sad.

She doesn't have a family. She was living a very pitiful life before. When She was just a little girl, slave traders found her and just when she became 14 years old, they came to claymore town to sell her. Fortunately Max had found her and for some reason he asked his father to bought her from them. Since then she was working as Max's personal maid.

When Max heard her story and saw that her mood has become depressing, he changed the topic. They then talked about about random things and even started cracking some small jokes.

After chatting for some time Max laid on the bed with his head resting in Lilly's lap. Lilly blushed at his intimate action while feeling her heart warming.

After all, no noble would treat their servant like he treated her after waking up from his coma and even before, he never treated her badly.

"Lilly my head is aching a bit. Can you give me a massage?" He asked while caressing her silky black hair.

"Yes, young master!" She softly said and started massaging his temples. Max closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the massage.

"Lilly if I want to do something with you and you are not forced to comply. Will you let me do it?" Max whispered in a soft voice.

"I-I'll do it if..." Lilly said but hesitated to complete her sentence.

"If what?" Max asked a little excited, when he heard her confirming his question.

"If Young master promise to never abandon me and let me serve you until my last breath." She spoke resolutely.

Max was stunned. 'She want me not to abandon her? serve me until last breath? are you seriously asking me that? who would want to abandon a beautiful girl like you?'

It's not like he didn't understand why she asked him to promise her. It was because she had lived a very miserable life until now and didn't want her last support to abandon her.

"Mm I promise you." Max immediately promised her.

Chapter 5 Lust System

"Lie down!" Max pushed her down on the bed after promising her what she wanted.

He then brought his face closer to hers and planted his lips on her seductive red lips.

Lilly squirmed a little when he suddenly kissed her but didn't resist. When Max who had never touched a girl properly in his life, felt her lips' softness and smelt her famine scent, he was intoxicated by that feeling.

Ding!

[ Lust system has been initiated! ]

[ +5 Lust points ]

Suddenly Max heard a mechanical sound in his head. He was startled.

'Lust system? Lust points? what is it?' A confused expression was on his face?

"Y-Young master! What happened? Did I do something wrong?" When Max suddenly stopped his action, Lilly got worried thinking whether she had unintentionally done something which his young master didn't like.

"No, it's nothing. I just need to rest for a bit. You go and do your things." Max shook his head absentmindedly.

"Y-Yes young master." She hurriedly went out with a nervous look on her face.

—

—

—

'How did I hear that robotic sound? What the actual fuck is this system thing?' Max cursed in his mind thinking he might have gone insane.

As if to answer his question a screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

[ Name: Max Garfield ]

[ Age: 18 ]

[ Strength: 3 ]

[ Agility: 1 ]

[ Stamina: 1 ]

[ Vitality: 2 ]

[ Intelligence: 15 ]

[ Mana: 1 ]

[ Element: Fire ]

[ Lust Points: 5 ]

'What is this? It's like a game's status bar.' Max was surprised to see the screen pop out of nowhere.

After thinking for a while he shook his head as he concluded. 'It seems when I got reincarnated here, I somehow got this system thing. It's just like the few light novels I read.' He then started tapping on the screen to see if he could understand anything about it.

"Sigh...!"

After a while of playing around with the screen, he sighed helplessly.

"It seems it is just my status window and nothing more. But...it is also not right. I heard clearly that 5 lust points were added and here in the status window, 5 lust points are available. But what is the use of these lust points? Can they somehow help me become strong?" Max murmured.

He tapped on the 'Lust Points' and more explanation appeared beside it.

'Lust points can be used to increase your attribute points. Until an attribute doesn't reach the ten-point mark, Lust points can be converted to attribute points in the 10:1 ratio. After ten points mark...' There was a full detail stating the use of Lust points and their conversation ratio in attribute points.

"So that's how it is. If this is the case I can get stronger just by fooling around with girls. How can my luck be this good to get such a wonderful system?" He thought, excited.

'Well, it is not my concern. I just have to make use of this advantage properly. But my current situation...is quite pitiful.' Max thought while looking at his statistics.

Apart from his intelligence, each of his attributes was only one or two. However, he wasn't too surprised by this as his body was extremely weak. While he was sad due to his attribute points being too low, he was also excited after seeing his element and mana stat. These were present on the status window meant that He could use magic.

'If everything is the same as I deduced, then becoming strong is not a problem anymore. And after learning magic I'll also be like those mages in fantasy movies. How wonderful will it be?'

"HAHAHAHA!" He laughed maniacally thinking this and started making his plans.

While Max was lost in his fantasy. News of his awakening from the coma spread to everyone in the Garfield family. His father and sister Anna were happy while others didn't react in any way like it was not their concern whether he died or not.

Soon it was time for dinner. Lilly told him that everyone eat together in the dining hall and when it is time she will call him.

"Knock! Knock!"

Max was laying in the bed when someone knocked on the door.

"Young master, may I come in?" Lilly asked from outside.

Knowing that it was Lilly he called out "Come in!"

...

"Young master, it's time for dinner. Everyone has already arrived. Master Garfield is waiting for the young master." Lilly informed him.

"Mmm, let's go then." Max stood up and followed Lilly out of the room.

They quickly arrived in the dining hall where everyone was seated around a big table.

A middle-aged man who looked around 40 years old was seated on the leading chair. He was his father, Ashton Garfield. Although he was a middle-aged man but he was very healthy and had an intimidating aura around him which made him look imposing.

There were also three young men who he thought were his brothers and two girls around his age who were most likely his sisters. Apart from them, there were seven more women, three of them were his stepmothers who sat beside his father. While the rest were his sisters-in-law. He didn't look at any of them as he felt it would not be proper for him to stare at them.

—

"Max you finally decided to wake up... hahaha! I was very worried for you son." His father burst out laughing. Although he was laughing one could see his eyes turning moist.

Seeing this, Max also remembered his father who also loved him very much. He thought about how would he live knowing that he has died. Thinking this he grew emotional and couldn't help but go to Ashton and hug him.

"I'm sorry father. I won't worry you anymore." He said emotionally.

Everyone present including his father wore a surprised expression on their faces at this. It was because Max was a taciturn type of guy and rarely showed any intimacy toward his family after knowing his talent in magic was bad. It was because he blamed himself for not being as talented as his siblings and for disappointing his father.

Now that Max was suddenly behaving this way, it was natural for them to be surprised. After being stunned for a moment his father patted him heavily on his back and laughed.

"It's alright Max. As a parent, it's natural for me to worry."

"Mhm...!" Max nodded without saying anything.

"Come, Sit beside me today and have your meal." His father gestured him to the chair next to him.

"Yes, father!" Max sat down.

"Max I'm very happy nothing happened to you. sob!" Anna his sister spoke while sobbing a little.

Max glanced at her. She was a beautiful girl who falls into the category of pure girls who you would want to protect.

"It's okay Anna. I'm perfectly fine." Max consoled her.

After that everyone greeted him and asked about his well being but unlike his father and Anna they didn't have concern in their eyes. Max silently took note of it.

After dinner, Max talked to his father and Anna for a bit and told him he was fine now. He then went to his room.

Chapter 6 Emily's Visit

"Knock! Knock!"

Almost one hour after dinner someone again knocked on Max's room.

"It should be Lilly, right? After all, I asked her to come."

Max smiled and Called out "Come in!"

Doors opened but it wasn't Lilly who came inside but rather was Emily, his other sister.

Max was surprised to see her come to his room and even more than that at this time.

Max stared at her thoughtfully 'If I remember correctly, She has an aloof character and like to remain silent if it's nothing important. She has a grade four talent in magic which means she has the potential to become a four-star mage in future. That is why she is treated very importantly in the family. How come she came to visit a good for nothing like me?'

"Emily! How come you visit me at this time? do you need something?" Max let out a smile and asked.

"Hmph!" Emily coldly harrumphed.

Max was startled. What did he do to make her unhappy?

"Do I only need to visit you when I need something? Can't I visit my little brother without any reason?" Emily Pouted her lips cutely. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

Max was stunned at this. Although it was reasonable for her to visit him without any reason but from what he heard from Lilly and saw her reaction at the dinner, he could easily conclude that his relationship was neither good nor bad. But her words and reaction just now suggested otherwise.

Emily was also a great beauty. She had a great figure, light golden hair, pale smooth skin and a cute face but her expressions always remained emotionless and cold, due to which nobody really wanted to approach her.

Max scratched his head and laughed awkwardly "Yes! Of course, you can Emily."

"Why are you standing come sit here." Max promptly asked her to sit.

Emily didn't say anything and sat on his bed beside him. After remaining silent for a while she asked him while looking in another direction "I was a little worried about your health. Although you seem fine you should recuperate well to not leave any hidden problem."

She then took a fist-sized golden fruit and handed it to Max.

"This is a golden vigour fruit. It can help you replenish some of your vitality." Emily explained.

"Thanks, Emily." Max nodded while his heart felt a sense of warmth. He didn't think that in this new family he would have many people who cared for him. In his previous life, although his father loved him very much sadly, he didn't have much time to show it as he was always busy with his work, even to the extent that he had to stay out of the city for weeks.

But here, his father, Anna, Lilly and Stone cold Emily, they all cared for him. He genuinely felt happy. He looked at Emily with affection in his eyes.

Emily who was staring at the ceiling became aware of his gaze and harrumphed "What are you staring at? Eat this golden fruit before sleeping. Hopefully, it'll help you replenish your vitality significantly. I'm going now." She stood up, ready to go.

Max who was in his thoughts suddenly called out "Emily wait for a second please."

"Mm? What is it?" Emily asked

"Can you tell me about magic and mages etc?" Max mumbled softly. He knew this question of his would cause some doubt to emerge in her mind and as he expected Emily frowned a little and asked

"Don't you know about it? What do you want to know?"

He already prepared an answer for this. Therefore he said "Well I know a little about it but as I only learned about it only in books so I want to ask you. After all, You are a student at a magic Academy. You should know more about it right!" He said in a low tone.

When Emily saw him a little down her gaze softened as she thought he was disheartened because of his low-grade talent thus he couldn't join any magic academy. She sighed.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know. Cheer up now. Will you?" She rebuked.

She then sat down and started telling him "As you know, Strength is everything in this world, status, wealth etc are only secondary and how strong can you become is decided by your talent grade in magic and your element. If your talent is good enough and your element is strong enough then there are many ways through which you can become stronger. For example, joining an academy. There are very powerful mages who work as professors and teach you about magic and many more things related to it.

As for mages, there are ranks specified ranks of them according to their total strength. Such as novice mage, one-star mage, two-star mage, three-star mage and so on. Our father is a three-star mage and is appointed Viscount by the royal family which is only because of his strength.

In the green leaf kingdom which is considered very powerful in this continent, you can become a baron if you are a two-star mage, Viscount if you are a three-star mage, Count if your four-star mage and so on. It said that the king is the only one who has become a seven-star mage. but it is not that easy to become a two-star, three-star mage, not to mention higher than that.

Only one in ten thousand can become a one-star mage. So you can imagine how difficult it is. Although a higher talent grade can help you become stronger but it is only a possibility. For example, as I possess fourth-grade talent in magic but it doesn't mean I can become a four-star mage with ease and similarly it doesn't mean that four-star mage is my limit. I can become more strong than a four-star mage but it is a very difficult task.

Until you become a four-star mage your lifespan is similar to a normal human's. After that, your life increases by many folds while retaining your youth. So if you ever go out and see someone who is not that old, don't assume he is weak, it might be that he is too strong for you to bear consequences if you happen to provoke him somehow..."

Following this, she explained to him many more things in more detail than Lilly did. It showed that she had a wide view of the world compared to Lilly. And it was natural as Lilly didn't practice magic or attends the academy.

Thinking this Max sighed. Although talent was very important but your status also determines your path. Fortunately, Max has a good status as the son of a viscount but unfortunately, his talent was not any good and his father had spent many recourses on him to awaken an element but did not succeed.

'How can it be? I have already awakened an element according to my system. Well, This is due to my reincarnation, I guess.' Max thought.

"Emily! What stage mage are you now and what is your element that you awakened?" Max asked her all of a sudden.

Chapter 7 Golden Fruit's Effects

"I'm a two-star mage. As for my Element, I recently managed to awaken the wind element." Emily smiled and added in a gentle tone "Max I know you want to be strong and doesn't like it when someone makes fun of you because of your weakness. I want you to know that there are many who were just like you initially but they worked for it managed to become strong. So don't lose hope okay!"

Max felt touched at this. He smilingly nodded "Don't worry Emily. I don't have such a weak heart." He then silently added in his heart 'I know I'm gonna be strong because I don't think there will be anyone with a system like me. Hehe'

"Umm Emily... are you free tomorrow?" Max asked after thinking something.

"Yeah, I think I'm free. Why are you asking?" Emily in her usual tone asked

"Can you show me your magic tomorrow? I want to see how powerful a two-star mage really is? So, do you think you can help me with that?" Max looked at her with pleading eyes. After talking for a while he knew Although Emily was cold on the outside but inside she was a gentle girl who cared for her family. So she won't reject a small request of her little brother who just woke up from a coma.

"Okay, I will show you. Now stop giving me that child-like look." She agreed.

Max smiled brightly. He wanted to see how does everyone use magic and what it looks like in real. In his previous life, he only saw those magicians performing their tricks and calling it magic to trick little kids. Now he had a chance to see it with his eyes, naturally, he would be excited.

"Okay eat this golden fruit now and sleep. I don't want you to pass out due to your weak vitality." Emily remarked and went out.

After calming his excitement for tomorrow, Max took out the golden fruit.

"Let's see how many vitality points can I get from it." After saying this he proceeded to eat it. Now that he has a system, with which he didn't need to care about medicine or any supplements to get strong as long as he can have sex and get some lust points, It didn't mean that he can just have sex whenever he want.

Yeah, he was a pervert who wanted to have sex and fulfil his long-awaited desire. But he didn't mean he just force someone to do it. Moreover, he wanted to know if he can rely on himself to get stronger, rather than just relying on the system to do it.

Following this, he felt a burning sensation in his body.

'It seems this fruit is also a magical fruit. It took effects just after eating it.' Max thought. He laid on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up in the morning he could feel that his body was a little healthier and his face was less sickly pale than yesterday.

'That golden fruit was incredible. I think I recovered more than what I have recovered normally on my own in a month.' Max felt good. 'This world is really different from earth. I like it here.'

"Let's see how many vitality points I have after eating that golden fruit," Max mumbled and opened his stat screen.

Lust Points: 5 ]

'Nice! A single fruit gave me one stamina point and three vitality points.' Max got excited seeing this.

Now he doesn't have to worry about having sex to get stronger in case there is not anyone to do it. He can just get strong like normal people here. After all, he didn't want to get overly strong or rule over a kingdom or something. He just wants to live a fun life where he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants.

"Lilly!"

He called out.

After a few seconds, Lilly came into his room.

She then bowed slightly and greeted "Good morning, Young master! "

"Good morning Lilly!" Max also greeted her in a cheerful voice. He then added "Can you bring some fresh clothes for me? Today I plan to go out."

Lilly, who was mesmerised by his cheerful smile, hurriedly nodded "Y-yes young master!"

But she didn't move and just stood there, it looked like she had something in her mind.

Max who noticed this asked

"What is it, Lilly? Who do you have something to say?"

"I... It's nothing young, master. I'll bring you your clothes quickly" She said in a panic and started going towards the wardrobe.

"It's okay Lilly tell me. If you need something just tell me I'll give it to you." Max insisted. He wanted to have a deeper relationship with her so he wanted her to feel comfortable around him.

Lilly hesitated a little and said "I don't need anything young master. It's just that, it's been a long time since I last saw you this happy. So I was wondering what happened?" after saying this She held her head down.

Max who was wondering if she wanted to complain about yesterday when he kissed her or maybe it was some other matter, was dumbstruck after hearing this.

Lilly panicked when Max didn't respond for some time. 'It seems I was out of the line to ask young master about something like this. I think I should apo...'

"It's nothing. Today Emily is going to show me her magic. That's why I'm a little excited." Max spoke.

"Oh! I see." Lilly who didn't expect him to reply to her mumbled.

"Y-Young master, can... can I come with you when you go see her magic?" she asked suddenly.

"Yeah, you can. In fact, I was gonna take you with me anyway." Max said and walked towards the bathroom.

Lilly's smile blossomed hearing this.

—

—

After Max came out of the bathroom, he saw Lilly stand there with his clothes like the previous time. He smiled and walked up to her and stood in front of her.

Lilly started helping him get dressed when he suddenly asked "Lilly, I asked you to come to my room yesterday after dinner. Why didn't you come?"

"Young master, I did come after Miss Emily went to her room after meeting you but you were sleeping then. So I didn't wake you up. I also waited for some time in case you woke up but you didn't. Only then I went to my room. I'm sorry." She hastily explained, in case he misunderstood that she didn't obey his order.

"It's okay, you don't have to apologise. I was just teasing you." Max chuckled.

Lilly got embarrassed and she puffed out her cheeks adorably.

"Silly girl!" Max said smilingly. He then leaned forward and kissed her on her cheeks.

Chapter 8 In The Forest

Lilly was stunned for a moment. Her cheeks flushed red. She stood there without moving.

Max then whispered in her ear "How does it feel when I kiss you?"

Hearing this she felt even more embarrassed and didn't speak.

"Okay if you don't like it then I won't do it from now on. Let's go and have breakfast." Max said and started walking toward the exit of the room.

Lilly suddenly reacted and grabbed his hand. "Young master, I-I told you yesterday that I'm yours from now on. You can do anything you want to me and I don't feel bad about it. I just want young master to be happy."

Max was surprised by her sudden action but he collected himself and said "Lilly, like you want me to be happy, Just like that I too, want you to be happy. So I won't do anything that you don't like."

"But... but I l-like it when young master k-kiss me." She bashfully said.

"Oh! You like it, eh? So tell me how does it feel when I just kissed you now?" Max asked while staring at her.

"It-It felt like electricity was coursing through my body," Lilly said, staring at her feet while her face, neck and ears were tinged with red colour. She looked very adorable now.

Max sighed a sigh of relief. It looks like she also had some feelings for her young master and wasn't saying this because she didn't want to anger her master. Max clearly remembered when she asked him to promise to never abandon her. It looked like she wanted to be with him but was afraid he would leave her, after all, she was just a maid.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go now. After breakfast, I'll have to ask Emily when she has time to show me her magic." Max changed the topic as she was getting more and more embarrassed.

—

—

When Max went to the dining hall there was only Emily because the whole family only have dinner together not breakfast and lunch as they have different schedules to follow.

"Good morning Emily. Has everyone had breakfast already?" Max greeted Emily with a smile and asked.

"Some already had, others haven't yet. However, Why are you late for breakfast?" Emily asked in her usual 'I don't care' tone.

"It was because of that fruit you gave me. It caused me to fall into a deep sleep. However, It was quite beneficial. I feel way better than before." Max replied while taking his seat.

Emily nodded.

"Lilly come join us!" Max invited her to sit beside him and have breakfast.

"Mm?" Emily frowned but didn't speak.

On the other hand, Lilly was given quite a scare. She said in a panic while waving her hands "No Young master, Please enjoy your meal. I've something to do, for now, I'll excuse myself."

Max, however, wasn't that dumb. He could deduce that servants were not allowed to dine with their masters by Emily's momentary frown and Lilly's panic but he didn't force her to eat like before in case his family members make things difficult for her.

He had his fill while occasionally chatting with Emily. After they both had their breakfast, they decided to meet in their courtyard.

Max and Lilly were in the courtyard waiting while chatting and laughing occasionally. It seemed like they were not master and servant, but friends. Lilly was getting comfortable around him more and more. Max was happy about it because this was exactly what he wanted.

"If you guys are finished chatting, shall we go now?" Suddenly, A voice sounded out from behind. Max and Lilly turned around to see Emily who was looking at him with a strange expression.

Max smiled and asked, "Where are we going?"

"In the forest!" Emily replied curtly.

"Do we really need to?" Max asked when he recalled his memories that 'this' Max and He both died in the forest or because they went in the forest. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

Emily seemed to have understood what he was thinking. She said while walking out of the courtyard "Don't worry! You are going with me. You'll be safe and if you don't face your fears, how are you going to overcome them."

Max relaxed hearing this. It was true, he need to face his fears to overcome them And his safety was guaranteed with a two-star mage. So he didn't need to worry about anything.

A novice mage was usually ten times stronger than the best among normal humans. While a one-star mage was four times stronger than a novice mage. A two-star mage was more than two times of a one-star mage.

In simple words, They were classified according to their strength which was calculated by the amount of mana you have. A person's mana is calculated in units.

A normal healthy human usually has 10 mana units, A novice mage has 100 mana units, a one-star mage has 500 mana units, a two-star mage has 1000 mana units, a three-star mage 10000 mana units and so on.

A novice mage can fight tens or hundreds of normal humans at the same time and can come out unscathed. So one can easily imagine, how terrifying a two-star mage can be.

Max and Lilly followed her. They found some horses and a group of bodyguards who wore a knight's uniform.

"Get on your horses!" Emily shouted and with a light jump, she sat on her horse.

'Ohh! She could have easily won a gold medal in Olympics with this jump.' Max exclaimed in his mind.

"Hey! Emily, I don't think I can ride a horse on my own," Max said after everyone else started to get on their horses. He was a little unsure of her reaction as he didn't know if 'deceased' Max knew this kind of thing or not but he as for never ridden a horse so he was unwilling to take a risk with his current weak self.

"It's fine. You can just ride with someone else. Just learn to do these things as soon as possible okay!" Emily said indifferently.

Knights didn't speak but they had mocking expressions on their faces. It was like they wanted to say 'What? a son of lord Viscount is this useless. He doesn't even know how to ride a horse.'

Max sighed at this and wore a bitter smile. It was indeed unsightly for a noble like him in this world to not even know these things. But what can he do? He can't take risk of riding alone just to cover it up. He might fall from it get injured as his body was not even comparable to a normal human.

"Lilly you know how to ride right? I'll come with you." Max asked her.

"Yes, young master!" Lilly replied instantly. One could see she was a little happy that her young master asked her and not anyone else.

Max sat behind Lilly and grabbed her by the waist.

Following this, they all got on their horses and rode away.

Chapter 9 Astonishing

About two hours later, Their crew arrived at a forest in the South of the claymore town. It was called 'Magical Beasts Forest'. It was a name given by the people of Claymore town because, in this forest, there are many magical beasts who are as powerful as one-star mages with some being able to fight two-star mages.

This was the same forest where the previous host of max's body and a few of his guards who were novice mages were killed by a beast. This time it was different as he was with Emily, a two-star mage, and a group of knights.

Every knight usually is a one-star mage but not every one-star mage can become be a knight. They have to pass a standard test given by The Mage Association to qualify to be a knight. Similarly if one wants to rank up after novice mage, they have to go to The Mage Association for your evaluation. The mage association will determine according to set standards if you are eligible to rank up or not. Normally, they are evaluated based on their 'Mana Units'.

"Emily, How are you going to show me your magic here? Need we come here to the forest for that purpose?" Max asked Emily when they arrived in the forest. Though he already had an idea of what she planned.

"Yeah, we needed to. In Here you can see me and these knights in action when we encounter any beast. Moreover, It seems that the number of beasts has increased by quite a lot in the past few years, thus many merchant caravans that travel near the forest to go to other towns and cities, are being attacked by them, so our manor received requests to resolve this situation. So we can conveniently help reduce their number a little." Emily explained.

"Oh! That's the case." After listening to her, max came to the realisation, If you want to experience something, do it in action. And from this Max can also see that although, these beasts are strong but they can be tackled easily so that he didn't develop a phobia of beasts.

Max shook his head inwardly at this. Did she think he would be afraid just because he was attacked one time, oh well, technically two times? No, he wasn't. He just wanted to improve his strength before going on adventures.

—

—

He diverted his attention and focused on feeling Lilly's slim and smooth waist. He put his head on her right shoulder and inhaled her scent. He started to feel horny by it and his 'Little Brother' who wasn't little in any sense started to rise and eventually stabbed itself in Lilly's back.

Suddenly Lilly shuddered slightly but didn't do anything and continued riding the horse and oh well...

Max controlled himself and didn't do anything more as there were Emily and others with them.

After a while, they finally encountered a black tiger with red marks all over its body. It was 3 meters tall and was very bulky. It looked utterly ferocious but none of their crew including Lilly was scared. This was surprising for Max as he knew that Lilly was only a maid. How could she keep her calm in this situation?

"Wow, it's a red-striped black tiger. It's comparable to a one-star mage in strength." A knight exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's a good opponent to fight. It can fight 2-3 one-star mages with its full strength."

"It's a great opportunity to show our strength to Young miss."

"..."

Every knight was excited and wanted to fight it to show off their strength in front of Emily. If a two-star mage took them as her subordinates, it would be very easy for them to improve their strength.

"Quiet!" Emily raised her hand and shouted.

Following her shout, everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on her.

Emily turned to Max and said "Now these knights are going to fight this tiger. Watch carefully."

"Three of you can go and kill it." Emily pointed at the tiger and ordered. Following her words, three knights drew out their swords and chanted some spells.

"Emily, why are they drawing out their weapons? Can't they simply use their magic to kill it?" Max asked her, bewildered.

Emily looked at Max as if she was looking at an idiot. She then explained "Unless you are a seven-star mage or in other words unless you are a King mage or above you can't use magic directly without any medium. These swords, they are enchanted with magic, are a medium for them to use their magic to cast spells and do various things. Without these, they can only do some household chores with their magic."

"Err... Why do you need a medium like that to use magic in fights?" Max asked again, his curiosity piqued.

"That is because we don't have good enough control over mana and mana has a berserk nature. So usually it backfires when we try to use some advanced magic or in a fight where you need precise control, if not a single mistake will cost you your life. But after you become a King mage or above your control over mana has also been strengthened, then it is easy to use it however you want." Emily explained.

"It means that it is necessary to have a medium to be able to use magic, is that right? But if I am neither a King mage nor I want to use these swords or other weapons. Is there nothing I can do about it?" Max inquired. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴

"You can use a 'Talisman' in that case. There are special talismans for that purpose. You can just wear it and then you can use your magic in fights or anything you like, but that is only after you have some control over your internal mana pool. Besides these talismans cost a lot." Emily smiled after finishing her last sentence.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

They then focused on the fight. Black tiger was moving very fast and would occasionally strike with its claws and fire a black beam from its maw.

The knights on the other hand were chanting some spells. Some of their swords were glowing while some were firing mana arrows, slashes etc from their swords. One could see their attacks moving with their naked eyes. It was a scene just like the movies.

'Fascinating! This is awesome. This is really a magical world. I wonder if they can fly too?' Max wondered.

Chapter 10 Hunting, Arousal

After a while, Red striped black tiger was killed.

Following this, they didn't stop and continued exploring the forest. They encounter many beasts of different species.

After going into the deeper region, they wanted to rest as all of them were exhausted. Emily ordered the knights to grill some beast meat to fill their stomachs.

They chose to grill their first prey which was the Red striped black tiger, as its meat was highly nutritious and contained a very good amount of mana.

—

"Screech!"

Just as they were about to venture deeper into the forest to hunt some more beasts, a shrill screeching cry resounded in the area.

As they looked toward the origin of the sound. They were dumbfounded at the sight of a huge bird with a wingspan of eight to ten meters. It was a red hawk with a sharp beak and glistening red feathers.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Shit! A two-star beast." A Knight cursed in horror.

"A two-star beast? Our luck is terrible to meet this beast today." Another Knight said in frustration.

"..."

After hearing the knights and seeing their faces filled with horror, Max instinctively looked toward Emily. After seeing that she wasn't panicked but had a grim expression on her face, Max didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was because her expression mostly remain indifferent. So he was relieved to see no sign of fear or panic which meant that he should not fear this bird as well, but at the same time, he was also afraid a little after seeing that grim look on her face.

'Can she defeat it or not?' Max thought.

"Young miss, it's a two-star beast. What should we do now? It has seen us therefore it won't let us go easily." A relatively aged Knight among their group spoke. Everyone turned to Emily to hear how she wanted to tackle this problem.

"First of all don't panic and just assist me while I fight it if I say so. Second, protect your young master at all costs while I handle this beast red hawk. If not, I shall be the one to kill you all if something were to happen to him. Understand?" Emily warned in a slightly harsh tone.

"Yes, Miss!" Everyone said in unison.

Max felt touched seeing her care for him but at the same time, he was also embarrassed by his weakness. If he was strong enough now he could just face this beast himself. As a man, his pride was hurt slightly but he couldn't do anything apart from watching Emily going at it to fight it.

"Screech~"

The beast came above them and with a screech, it dove down.

Emily Unsheathed her silver sword which was only three feet in length and was very slim. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

"Wind slash!"

With a shout, she slashed at the beast. A sharp gust of wind in the of a slash was fired from her sword.

Feeling the threat from the slash, the Red hawk swiped its talons and shattered the attack easily.

Then it slashed with its talons in Emily's direction. It was the same move as Emily's but with double the power. Just like Emily, it also could control wind element.

—

—

—

At the same time, another red hawk appeared and went in Max and others' direction. Following this, a fight was started between knights and the second red hawk. Fortunately, This hawk wasn't as strong as the one Emily was fighting.

Although it was not a two-star beast, it was using its flight and insane speed optimally and gradually started to inflict injuries on them. Seeing this Emily lost her composure as it was only a matter of time until Max was also going to be injured or possibly killed.

"Phew~"

"Eight directional wind slashes!"

Emily inhaled a deep breath and lashed out Eight slashes in a row. Each slash was stronger than her previous attack.

Two of her slashes destroyed the red hawk's attack while the remaining six attacked it from different directions and targeted its talons and neck.

Bang!

Following a bang, its talons and neck had a deep cut, from which blood started raining down on the ground.

"Screech~"

The red hawk shrieked in pain and flapped its wings rapidly and flew away.

Emily didn't stop it from leaving, in fact, even she wanted she couldn't have as it was flying. She glanced at the other red hawk who also flew away right after.

Emily walked straight to Max and looked at him up and down. After not seeing any injuries she sighed in relief.

"Emily are you okay?" Max asked Emily who was panting heavily.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that I used most of my mana in a single attack." After speaking she took several deep breaths to calm her heavy breathing.

"We should return now. It seems not only the number but also the power of these beasts has increased. We are only halfway through the forest but we encountered a two-star beast. If we are to venture any deeper, it won't be us hunting beasts." Emily said in a grim tone.

She wasn't afraid to face any two-star beasts as she was capable of fighting them alone and possibly kill them too. But that will take a lot of time, if she was alone here she would definitely have killed that red hawk too but that wasn't the case because she had to worry about Max's safety.

Normally, A one-star beast and two-star beast and so on are stronger than the mages of the same level. But as Mages are versatile in the nature, beasts of low ranks can't easily win against them in a fight while some talented mages can even kill them.

"Yeah, let's return." Max nodded. Although he liked adventures, it didn't mean he wasn't able to tell that the situation was very dangerous for them right now.

"Let's go." Saying this Emily and others walked toward the outer area of the forest where their Horses were.

After walking for more than two hours without stopping and killing some beasts on their way out, they reached the area where two knights were guarding their horses.

Max was exhausted and panting heavily after walking this much. Lilly was supporting him. His left arm was draped over her shoulders.

Every knight looked at him with eyes filled with disdain. But they didn't say anything as he was one of their young master and Emily cared for him a little too much as she killed one of the knights who angrily rebuked Max for walking slowly. After that none dared to say anything.

"Let's rest for a bit before going," Emily ordered.

Everyone sat down to catch their breath. Emily walked up to him and gave him a round yellow pill.

"Take this. It will help you recover your stamina."

"Emily, can you give one to Lilly too? She is also exhausted after supporting me all the way here." Max asked her as Lilly was also a little out of breath.

Emily looked at Lilly who was sitting by his side for a second as if thinking something then gave her one pill.

After resting for half an hour, Everyone sat on their horses and rode to Garfield manor.

Max, the same as the previous time was sitting behind Lilly. As he was exhausted, he simply rested his head on her shoulder while his hands went around her slim waist.

As the horse was running, Max and Lilly were rubbing against each other thanks to the horse.

Soon his 'little brother' was aroused and started poking in her back. Max grabbed her waist and made her sit on his lap. He could feel his little brother between those two perky 'mounds'.

Lilly shuddered at this and unconsciously wanted to put some distance between them but Max didn't let her.

He then whispered in her ear "Stay like this until we reach home."

"Mhm..." Lilly nodded and stopped her resistance.

All the way to home, he could feel her warmth which aroused him further. Lilly, on the other hand, also had her breathing intensified.

When they reached their manor, Max let go of her and whispered "Go and take a bath and come to my room."

"Y-yes Young master." Lilly nodded while her cheeks were a little red.

"Good! And bring me something to eat too." Saying this Max went to his room.

Chapter 11 Kiss

Max went to his room after talking with Emily.

'Let's first get a nice bath until Lilly comes.' His body was exhausted and he had sweated a lot by all the running around and watching those terrifying beasts up close. Thus, He decided to take a bath to clean himself and to relax his body.

Following this, he had a nice, long hot bath. His body was relaxed by the hot water.

'After a day of hard work, a hot bath is a must. I feel very relaxed and refreshed.' He mused. Although he didn't do any hard work but he was still spent.

He donned a robe and laid on the bed, waiting for Lilly to come.

After a while, Lilly came with a plate of food. She was wearing her usual maid dress. But with Her attractive face, her pink lips, her ample breasts and curvaceous figure she looked very beautiful and sexy.

Max just stared at her for a few moments. He snapped out of his daze when he heard her sweet voice "Young master, I've brought you your meal."

"Oh! Good, come put it on the bed. Today I'll eat here and go close the doors." He ordered her calmly while controlling his surging lust.

Lilly brought the meal to his bed after closing the door behind her.

"Come sit! Let's eat together!" Max took her hand and made her sit beside him. She was startled by his sudden action but didn't resist and sat down.

Lilly didn't hesitate and started eating with him. She knew he would insist. She also liked her young master and didn't want to make him upset due to these small things. Moreover, she too wanted to spend time with him, as he was the one who cared about her and he indirectly accepted her as his woman.

"Lilly, Tell me something! Were you not scared by the beasts today? I'm curious as to why you didn't show any sign of fear?" Max asked her while eating. On their journey to the forest and hunt, he was paying attention to every one of their expression and how they reacted in different situations.

When that Red hawk attacked them. Everyone was anxious and afraid due to encountering a dangerous beast but Emily and Lilly weren't. In the case of Emily, you can say she, as a tow star mage, was confident in her strength but Lilly? She was just his maid, right? Who didn't have any experience of fighting beasts and most likely was as weak as him.

"Y-Young master, I..." Caught unawares by the sudden question, Lilly didn't know how to respond. She had a strange expression, mixed with sadness, guilt, and a little excitement.

"It's okay if you are not comfortable sharing it with me. I understand." Max said while looking into her beautiful eyes.

Lilly averted her gaze and looked down. She then said with a complicated expression "Young master, I think I'm also a mage like Miss Emily."

"Ohh! That's good then. Why are you hiding it? it's something you should be proud of right!" Max said. At the same time, he was cursing himself 'Why I'm the only one who is not a mage?'

"It's because no one knows in the family and if they were to find out, they would be suspicious of my identity as to why a commoner like me can use magic and I heard that nobles don't like their servants to be strong." Lilly explained in a weak voice.

"Ehh? That was why you were hesitating. I told you before that you belong to me, not anyone else. I won't let anyone say or do anything to you no matter what..." Max tried to console when she interrupted him.

"Young master, That's... That's not all why I was hesitating." Emily said.

"Ohh? What is it?" Max asked curiously.

"I... I used to read your books when you were sleeping or busy with something else. From them, I learned how to use magic and some basic spells. I thought you would be angry at me for touching your books as you told me not to touch them."

"I see! So you secretly used my books to learn magic when I forbade you from touching them." Max said in a strange tone while deep in thought.

Lilly was frightened by his change of tone. She thought he was angry at her. Max on other hand was thinking something entirely different.

'From what Emily told me. Among commoners rarely any can use magic and even if they are capable of using it there is a very slim chance for them to become a powerful mage.

And From what Lilly said, she can use magic and she thinks she is strong enough to compare herself with Emily.

But that's not important. According to what she said, she only learned magic from my books. For Real? How much talent does a person need to do the same thing?'

Max collected his thoughts and smiled "You don't need to worry about these things. As for noble families not liking their servants being strong? You don't worry about it. As I said before You are my woman from now on and only belong to me. No one can order you or expel you from family."

Hearing that she was his woman, Lilly was relieved and felt warmth in her heart. He was now accepting her as his woman. Although she knew he only meant it as a mistress but she was satisfied by it as long as she could be with him.

"Thank you, young master! I'll serve you to the best of my abilities." Lilly thanked him emotionally.

After eating their meal they were sitting in the bed, talking.

Max who has been curbing his lust till now, was unable to do so anymore after inhaling her womanly scent and seeing a girl more beautiful than his previous life crush.

He suddenly held her hand which was as smooth as delicate jade. Then he brought his other hand to her face and started caressing her supple cheek.

He then put his index finger on her lower lip. Feeling the smoothness of it, his breathing quickened in excitement as this was his first time touching a girl like that.

Unable to control himself, he put his lips on her soft and juicy lips and started to kiss her lips slowly. He would kiss one lip at a time, sometimes he would lick her lips. 𝚋ｅ𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

Meanwhile, Lust points keep adding.

"Lilly, do you like it when I do this?" He whispered while blowing hot breath in her ear.

Lilly was also breathing heavily. She said softly "Ye-Yes! I like it, Young master."

Hearing her ragged voice. Max was aroused even more. He moved her body and made her sit in his lap while facing him.

He gently supported her head with his right hand while he grabbed her slim waist with his left hand and went for a deep French kiss.

Chapter 12 So Soft And Fluffy (R-18)

He put his lips on hers and started to kiss and suck on them. Lilly was no longer acting passively. She also clumsily started to respond to his kisses.

[ Lust point +5 ]

[ Lust point...

As they kept kissing, he occasionally kept getting more lust points.

This was their first time to do this and both were inexperienced but soon they lost themselves to the heavenly pleasure.

After savouring the taste and sensation of her soft and fragrant lips, Max gently pushed open her little mouth using his tongue and put it in her mouth.

His tongue snaked its way in to find hers and intertwined with it and started to suck on it. Lilly was shocked by his move. As it was something she didn't expect.

She tried to resist as it was something she didn't know he would do. After a few moments, she stopped resisting and surrendered herself to the pleasure that she started to feel for the first time in her life and let him do what he wanted.

As Max didn't have any experience in kissing, his movements were awkward at the start but Lilly didn't seem to hate it, so he was a little more confident and focused on enjoying himself.

Unlike on Earth, In this world population of women is many times more than men. This is because women are more gifted in sensing Mana and Many powerful mages are women.

Although Men also become great mages but their chances are still less than women. Due to this situation, Everyone wants to give birth to daughters entirely different to the situation on earth.

Many kingdoms and noble families have women at their helm. But not every woman is a strong mage and men to show their superiority over women marry many wives. But only strong mages are able to do that if you are not strong enough to 'subdue' a woman, you can't hope to build a harem.

This was the reason why Max wanted to be skilled in the way of pleasing women. This is the reason why he didn't rush like a starving wolf but kissed and caressed her gently to not let her feel uncomfortable.

After kissing for many minutes continuously, he broke the kiss to let her breathe. They both were breathing heavily.

Lilly's face, ears and neck were all rosy. From her face, he could easily tell that she also enjoyed herself.

"Lilly! How does it feel doing this? You like it?" Max asked while hugging her.

"Mmm, I think I like it young master. I've never felt...something like this." Lilly said and burrowed her face in his chest embarrassingly.

"Ohh! It means you have never done this before but you knew what is it?." Max teased her upon seeing her expression. He knew she had not done it but after seeing her adorable expression, he couldn't help but tease her.

"Hmm, I've never done it but I heard other maids saying that it was something pleasurable. They tried to introduce me to some knights but I didn't want to let anyone touch my body." She replied weakly.

"Then why did you allow me to?" Max put his hands on her cheeks and held her face in front of him then gave her a peck on the lips and asked while looking into her doll-like clear eyes.

"This... This is because young master always treated me very well and it was young master who got me out of the slavery and I...I think I also l-like young master. If it is for the young master, I can do anything." Lilly said while trying to the side but as Max was holding her face in his hands she had looked into his Sapphire eyes and his handsome face.

Although Max has already guessed that she liked him. But when she confessed to him, he felt very elated in his heart. It was the first time someone confessed to him.

"I too like you, my sweet Lilly. I'm happy that you also like me." He smilingly said.

"Is it... is it true young master? You also like me?" Lilly asked stunned. Her eyes turned moist hearing that and tears started flowing down her cheeks.

"Yes, I also like you. How can I not like you when my Lilly is so sweet and beautiful, but why are crying now? Do you not want me to like you?" He wiped her tears and showed a beautiful smile.

Lilly nodded heavily and said "Yes I want young master to like me. It's just that I'm so happy that young master also likes me."

"Good! Here, let me give you one more kiss." Max said as he embraced her in a tight hug and started kissing her again. He passionately kissed her while Lilly also started responding.

In a few minutes, they were panting again. Max's little brother who was now hard as a rock was trying to pierce through her gown.

He laid her on the bed and came onto her. He then started kissing her nape, biting her earlobes while he put his hands on her breasts. He started fondling them while kissing her now and then.

"Mmmh!...Ahh!..."

Lilly who was feeling herself getting lost to his touch let out a few moans of pleasure.

Hearing her moans he started pinching her erect nipples.

"Ahh...ohh...hmm!..."

Lilly closed her eyes and kept moaning.

Max then grabbed her top and tried to take it off but wasn't able to as she was still laying on the bed.

Seeing this Lilly blushed red. She then sat up and took it off by herself, presenting him with two beautiful looking round and plump boobs. They were not too big but were not small either. They were completely white as if someone has poured milk on them with two crimson colour little buds, which were erect now.

Max directly went and groped her boobs with one hand each. He was unable to grope them in one hand. He started squeezing them and them brought his face close to one of them and liked her nipple and started to suck on it while he kept rubbing her other breast.

[ Lust points +10 ]

'Oh? For groping and sucking on breasts I got 10 lust points. Not bad! but I should focus on what's important right now. I'll check them later.' Thinking that he ignored how many lust points he got.

"Ahh...Mmm..."

Lilly moaned a little louder when he suddenly started groping, licking and sucking them.

"They are so soft and fluffy. I love them." He unconsciously blurted out.

Chapter 13 Unbearable Pain (R-18)

Max kissed and caressed her two jugs of milk. He then went down while kissing and caressing her torso, to which Lilly responded erotically.

He then poked his tongue in her navel and started caressing it slowly and used a little force so she could feel it.

"Unn...young master...not there...it...feels funny...it tingles...ahh...mm..." Lilly's body shivered and she completed her sentence in between her moans.

'It's her sensitive spot huh.' Max thought and continued playing with it using his tongue. He would occasionally blow on it and because her navel was wet with his saliva, she would feel chills in that area.

After teasing her for a while, He put his right hand under her gown and undies to explore her sacred area.

"Ohh!"

"Mmmh!..."

Max and Lilly exclaimed simultaneously. Max because when he didn't feel any pubic hair on her lower torso. Lilly on the other hand, Moaned when she felt his hand reaching out to her nether regions.

"Lilly!" Max called out in a low whisper.

Lilly who was lost in pleasure responded with a nod "Yes young master?"

"Did you clean your hair down here knowing that I would do this with you or...?" Max was speaking when she interrupted him while pouting which made her look cute.

"It's not what young master thinks it is. I like to keep myself clean and don't like any hair th-there." She then added in a weak voice "Does young master like girls who have hair around that...that place?"

Max shook his head and grinned "No! I like the girls who don't have any hair and keep their bodies clean. And most importantly I live my cute Lilly."

Hearing this a smile blossomed on her lips.

Max started to rub her 'vertical lips' gently. But he was again surprised when he felt sticky liquid on his fingers.

'She is already wet from the kissing and caressing earlier.' Max thought as a proud smile appeared on his face. He then started to rub her outer labia and clitoris, making her moan non-stop.

He pulled her gown together with her underwear down from her waist and took it off in one go and threw it away. ｂｅ𝚍𝚗ｏｖｅ𝚕．𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Young master don't look." She panicked when she realised that she was lying naked in front of him.

Lilly was stunned silly at the moment who finally reacted and closed her legs tightly while she put her hands above her naked pussy to cover it. She was embarrassed to show her naked body to him.

Max, after seeing her naked body which was stunningly glamorous as if God himself has sculpted her figure, was mesmerised by her beauty.

She looked just like a fairy while laying there naked. Her jade white skin was glistening in his eyes. Her slender long legs coupled with her soft and plump breasts, her slim figure, her pink lips and beautiful eyes, everything made her look stunning.

Max just wanted to pounce on her and have sex with her crazily but he refrained from doing so because that would make her uncomfortable.

Although he successfully held himself back, His cock on the other hand was about to explode. A bulge in his loose robe was visible for her to see.

He kissed on her hands and then guided her hands out of the way to let him see his first, real-life pussy.

In his previous life, he only saw pussies in porn or sex manhuas as he never had a girlfriend. Now It was his first time to see it. He and his cock both were getting out of control.

As he moved her hands away and opened her legs, he was presented with her pink glamorous flower. He was mesmerised by it. He reflexively went down and kissed it.

"Haah...Mmm..."

Lilly moaned as he kissed her little flower.

He then went and kissed her lips and fondled her breasts to let her calm down and overcome her embarrassment a little. No matter what, it was also her first time and she was also very nervous.

After a few minutes, he rubbed her clitoris with his index and middle fingers. After making sure that her body was not much tensed anymore he let his index finger dive into her sacred cave.

"Ahhh!..."

Lilly let out a loud moan. Her pussy reflexively clenched on his finger. He could feel her pussy tightening around it as if it was resisting it from entering deeper.

Max stay put for a few moments then started moving his finger in and out of her pussy slowly. Her juices were overflowing.

After a while, he put one more finger. Lilly suddenly tightened her vagina again and shouted out.

"Young master...It feels weird. Something...something is coming out...ahh...oh...it's cominggg..." Her eyes glazed over in the sensation.

She then cummed uncontrollably, her sweet nectar flowed out like a dam being released. His hand was wet in her juices.

He disrobed himself and smeared her fluids on his rock hard cock to make it wet and rubbed it on her vaginal entrance a few times.

Lilly came to her senses and when she felt him rubbing his big and thick cock on her pussy. She screamed "Young...young master, It won't fit. It will kill me. It's hugeeee...Ahhh"

Her scream was cut short when without warning he pushed the tip of his cock into her virgin pussy.

"Ohh!"

Max exclaimed in pleasure after the tip of his cock went into her wet and warm pussy. He closed his eyes to feel it.

After staying still for a moment he leaned over and whispered in her ears "It will hurt for a few moments, bear it okay." Saying this he planted his lips on hers to stop her from making any loud sound and rammed his cock inside her pussy with a thrust.

[ Note: As they live in a mansion. It has thick walls, therefore, rooms are 'almost' soundproof. So no one can hear them while they engage in their activities. I thought you guys would wonder so I put this note here. Lol! ]

"Mmmm...!

Lilly let out a muffled scream in his mouth as he was kissing her. He didn't move. He kissed her and with his left hand started stimulating her clitoris in the hope to divert her mind from the pain.

"Huff...huff...huff...Gasp!"

Lilly's breathing was rough. She was feeling searing pain in her pussy. 'Young master said it would hurt but he didn't tell me it would hurt this much.' Lilly thought.

Little did she know that Max was also surprised at how much pain she was feeling. He heard from his friends and saw in movies that first times are usually painful for girls but they soon start to feel good. In Lilly's case, it was clearly not the same.

The reason being, Lilly never touched herself so her muscles were still stiff down there and when she trained to become a mage, mana strengthened her body at the same time, her vaginal muscles and hymen were also strengthened.

On top of that, his thing was also abnormally thick and huge. So when he forcefully broke her hymen and reached her cervix, she felt a lot of pain in the process.

—

—

After a few minutes, her breathing became normal and because Max didn't stop caressing her breasts and occasionally teased her clitoris, she also started to feel good.

"Lilly, Are you okay now?" Max asked her, concerned. He, in the heat of the moment, forget to control himself and thought that she might be hurt because of it.

Chapter 14 It Was Incredible (R-18)

"Yeah, I'm fine now, Young master." Lilly said averting her eyes and looking to the side.

Hearing her say that and her cute reaction reassured him a little but he didn't start moving.

He leaned forward kissed her on the neck. Then he made her look into his eyes and went for a deep, passionate kiss. While he kept his hands busy by squeezing her breasts with his left hand, simultaneously he pinched one of her nipples.

Lilly quivered a little. Max continued his kiss. Lilly now started to feel good too. Until now Max was the one who was sucking her tongue and lips but now Lilly tried to do the same.

Unexpectedly, She felt it more when she actively did that and Max also seemed to like it.

A little while after she lost herself in pleasure, she felt his thing twitching inside her as her pain was now gone. She knew that her young master was not moving down there because he was waiting for her pain to subside.

As She had a basic understanding of sex because her fellow maids, when together sometime talk about their sexual experiences. Thus she knew that a male's penis would go in and out for a prolonged period to complete this process and feel good.

She broke the kiss and murmured in a low voice "Young master... It's not hurting anymore. You can start doing what you want." Her voice was barely audible but as Max's face was only an inch away from her heard clearly.

He showed her a bright smile and gave her another peck on the lips and said "Okay!"

...

...

Max who got the green signal to go ahead didn't wait for another moment as he was already rock hard inside her.

He slowly pulled out until only his glans were inside and then shoved in again. Like this, he started the piston movement at a slow speed.

"Ohh...ahh...umm..."

Lilly started moaning and Max also let out a few groans because he was feeling the pleasure he couldn't until now. It was a wonderful feeling. He could feel his melting inside her due to the unimaginable pleasure.

While thrusting his cock in and out of her pink flower, he had a contented smile on his face because finally, he had eaten the forbidden fruit of pleasure.

Lilly was also moaning in pleasure. She clearly could feel his thick cock exploring the depths of her pussy.

Until now she didn't believe that this activity which she thought was only for reproducing could give such pleasure. She had her eyes closed and she unconsciously started to squeeze his cock as if she didn't want it to go out of her.

"Ohhh..."

Max groaned in pleasure when her vagina started to wrap around his dick and put more pressure on it. When Her pussy which was already very tight now started squeezing him, he felt like he was going to cum right away.

He stopped moving and pulled his cock out. He started to kiss and squeezed her boobs aggressively because he was too excited to treat her fluffy buns gently.

"Ahh...nnnn...ohh...haah..."

Lilly's moans reverberated in the room which made Max even more excited knowing that she was also feeling it.

He then sat on his knees between her legs and held her hips a little high with his hands so that he could easily thrust into her.

He rubbed his dick on her wet pussy and then in one thrust, he shoved it inside her.

Lilly moaned loudly. Unlike before, he started ramming his dick inside her harder and faster.

"Ohhh...young...master...ahh...slow...ahhh..."

Lilly's moans became louder. She was going wild by his sudden increase of speed and he was going deeper in this position. Her saliva was dripping down from her mouth and her tongue was hanging out.

*Shlick* *Shlick*

Max didn't hear her plea and continued thrusting hard. The slapping sounds, when her hips and his thighs were colliding crazily, were reverberating in the room like heavenly music.

...

...

...

"Young masterrr... it's cominggg out again.." Lilly shouted amidst her moans.

Hearing that she was cumming, Max also let out his load inside her. They both orgasmed simultaneously. They were in that position for a few minutes and Their juices were overflowing.

"Haa...haa...haa.." Max and Lilly breathed heavily.

Max relinquished his hold on her and let her body fall on the soft bed. After cumming max pulled his cock out and their juices flooded out. He laid on his back beside her, breathing heavily.

...

...

"It was incredible!" Max exclaimed. He was grinning from ear to ear. His long-awaited wish was finally complete.

He lost his virginity to a girl of his liking and on top of that, she was also a virgin. In his previous life, this feat would've been impossible as no one would leave a beauty like her alone. Even talking to her would've been next to impossible with his previous pathetic self.

Although for now, he was almost the same but because of his predecessor's good karma, he was able to claim Lilly for himself.

"How was it, Lilly?" Max turned his face to look at her. Somehow she was looking even more beautiful in his eyes now.

"It was very painful at the start but it felt really good in the end." She shyly spoke. Max was entranced by her bashful appearance. His rod was again hard.

He cupped her face and kissed on her lips. "Let's go for another round. Shall we?"

Without waiting for her reply, he grabbed her thin waist and made her sit on top of him.

"Ahhh!"

Lilly let out a surprised yelp but didn't resist and smiled coyly.

Max put his cock in her pussy easily. It felt good for both of them as it was still wet from their combined love juices.

Max grabbed her waist to move her up and down but after a few moments, he was unable to. But he didn't want to show her how weak he was thus he let her lie down and started pistoning again.

As they started their next round of lovemaking. Lilly's moans and the slapping sound of their flesh once again resounded in the room.

Chapter 15 Level Up

"Haah!...haa...haa.."

A skinny but handsome boy was breathing heavily while lying on top of a girl. Both were naked. The girl also has a top-notch figure, a beautiful face. A sweet smile was currently gracing her attractive face.

Similarly, The girl was a little out of breath but not like the boy who looked completely spent.

Yes. They were Max and Lilly who just finished their second round of steamy sex.

Max as weak he was, completely outdone himself in the heat of lust but now was about to pass out.

[ Ding. +1000 Lust points ]

"Hehe, I loved it, Lilly. Did you feel g..." In midst of his sentence he lost consciousness.

Lilly gazed at his blissful smile and was happy in her heart that she was able to make him happy. She let him sleep on top of her and embraced him with both of her hands.

"Yeah, I also loved it. Young master! Just like I love you..." She whispered and closed her eyes. Her heart was beating faster for some inexplicable reason and she was genuinely happy at this moment.

...

After sleeping for more than two hours, Max woke up. He woke up in a beauty's embrace. She was sleeping soundly with a smile on her lips.

Max gazed at her beautiful sleeping face for some time and mumbled to himself "Although you've had a life of slave than a maid. I'll take care of you as my first woman in this world. I'll make sure to keep you happy."

He moved his body away and lay on her side and covered her with a blanket.

*Phew!*

He let out a deep breath. After staying still for half an hour he calmed his excited heart. He then walked to the bathroom to take a bath as his body was too sweaty.

When he came out Lilly was awake too. Max smiled at her and kissed her.

"Go and take a bath. It's almost dinner time." Max said and sat on the bed.

Lilly nodded and limply walked to the bathroom. It seemed she was weak in the legs after their session.

"Let's see how many LPs I have now."

Max opened his status screen to check how many lust points he has accumulated. Lust points were his way to improve himself and become strong after all, he could not always leach off of his family.

"Ohh?" He was pleasantly surprised by the number of his Lust points.

"How should I distribute them?" He pondered for a bit then started tapping on the screen. Ten lust points can be converted into one attribute point until it reaches the maximum of ten points. Thus, He levelled his all attributes up to 10 first.

The moment he got them to 10 he could hear faint crackling sounds and a sharp pain tore through his body. In a few seconds, he was drenched in cold sweat all over.

"Ahhhhhh!"

He shrieked in pain. It was intolerable for him. He grounded his teeth so tightly that it felt like they were going to shatter. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦

After a few more seconds, the pain subsided and he again fell unconscious.

...

...

Almost 20 minutes later he open his eyes. Lilly was sitting beside him, wearing an anxious expression. When he opened his eyes, she finally sighed a sigh of relief.

"Young master are you okay? What happened? Why did you scream and fall unconscious again? Should I bring some medicine for you?" In one breath she asked so many questions that Max didn't know whether to breathe or answer her questions first.

He waved his hand and got out of the bed. "I'm completely fine. As a matter of fact, I have never felt this better before." Max said while examining his body. Lilly blushed thinking that he was referring to 'that'.

His body was not skinny anymore and he was not feeling any weakness in his body. He assessed himself to be comparable to any normal human of his age. His body had developed a layer of muscles. He was even more handsome and fit. He could now feel a different type of energy flowing through him. It was mana.

Although there wasn't much change to his outer appearance if he were to wear to cover his body. But as he was still naked Lilly noticed this change clearly and was shocked by his sudden transformation.

"This... young master how did you improve all of a sudden?" Lilly couldn't help but ask. Although there were some medicine and high levelled magic that can improve a person in many ways in a short period of time. But his young master hadn't used either. So it was perplexing for her a little.

"Ohh... This?" Max wasn't sure if he should tell her about his system, so he thought of something and grinned "This is because of what we just did. It gave me quite a few benefits. I think we should do it again hehe."

Lilly got flustered and hurriedly waved her hands in panic "N-No young master. We can't do that now. It's time for your family dinner."

Max laughed at this. Most likely she didn't even know what her words implied but he was happy that she was behaving more like a friend with him.

"Yeah! Yeah! I know. I'm going to the training hall for a bit. You should rest here until you can walk properly. Haha." Max laughed and quickly get dressed and got out of the room.

He wanted to test and get used to his new strength a little lest he made everyone suspicious of him.

He strolled through the hallways with his hands behind his back. He had a little problem walking because of the sudden increase in his attributes which was why he was trying to get familiar with it.

Strength is something you accumulate gradually over a period of time. If you have a sudden boost just like he has now, you would most likely trip on your feet even while walking and won't be able to do normal activities.

Chapter 16 Training Hall

Max strode toward the outer part of the Garfield Manor. As it was the residence of a Viscount, it was very big. It has a big and grandiose residence where the Garfield family lived, Quarters of Knights, Guards and Maids, gardens with trees of different kinds and many more facilities.

The training hall was one such facility. It was where knights and guards trained in the morning. Until the previous owner of the body hadn't known that his aptitude was too bad, he also used to train here.

Therefore it has been a few years since he last visited the place. He spent almost all of his time in the library reading books or in his garden taking care of the plants and flowers he planted.

Thus, Everyone was very surprised to see him see going into the training hall, moreover at this time.

"My lord!" A sound could be heard from outside of Viscount Ashton's study.

"Come in" An indifferent command sounded.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came inside. He was wearing black long pants and a white shirt with a black necktie. He bowed in front of Ashton Garfield in a submissive greeting.

"What is it, George?" He was the Butler of Garfield manor, George.

"My lord! Young master Maxwell was seen going in the training hall. I think young master wants to train himself." He said in a little excited tone which was unlike his character because he was usually strict and stern and didn't show any emotion on his face easily. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ashton who was still busily looking at some documents suddenly stopped. "Really?"

He was pleased hearing this. His most beloved son, Max, had lost his confidence in himself when he came to know that his talent wasn't any good and stopped training altogether.

He as his father was always worried for his son. If only Max tried to work a little hard, he could help him become at least a two-star mage through his resources but Max didn't show any interest so he too was helpless.

So it was good news that he again visited the training hall.

"I just hope that he doesn't lose the will to become stronger. The world is not peaceful anymore." He mumbled to himself.

...

...

It was quite a big circular building which had a huge hall and various types of equipment were placed here and there.

When he entered the hall, the keeper of the hall who had the duty to take care of the training hall and was a two-star mage, came forward to greet him.

"Good evening young master. How come you are here at this time? Do you need something?" He greeted him curtly and inquired.

"Good evening elder. It's nothing. I just came to do some exercises. You continue doing your thing. Don't mind me." Max also greeted him and waved his hand as if he was some fly. He behaved this way because he could clearly see that he has no respect for him, so why should he show him.

When his so-called best friend made fun of his feelings by doing what he did just before he died. He instantly knew that all the time he treated him as his best friend, he never did the same.

His usual remarks which he used to dismiss as jokes were in fact his ridicule. He now decided to treat everyone based on how they would treat him. For example Lilly. She had shown him utmost care and a distinct feeling of love. Therefore he decided to treat her with love and care.

The elder was dumbfounded by this. It was because Max has never dared speak like this to anyone and would usually keep quiet and ignore even when someone mocked him, But he quickly collected himself and excused himself.

Looking at him swagger forward like he was the king of some kind the elder muttered under his breath "What attitude for a piece of trash!" he scoffed and busied himself and no longer paid any attention to him.

...

...

Max stretched his body for a few minutes to get better control of his movements and then went to lift some weight. He wanted to check his strength because a while back he wasn't even able to lift Lilly for a while when doing pleasure exercises.

There were different weights ranging from twenty pounds to two thousand pounds 'Can someone actually lift two thousand pounds?.' Max thought but he quickly shook his head with a very smile. Of course, they can lift more weight. Reason? This was not earth where mortals resided. This was a magical world and most likely everything possible here.

He straightened his back and squatted down to lift a fifty pound.

He lifted it with ease. He then proceeded to increase the weight and finally found his limit at one hundred and twenty pounds.

*Phew!*

He let out a deep breath. He was happy with the results as he thought it was quite good for an 18-year-old to be able to lift one hundred and twenty pounds. Moreover, he still had many lust points remaining. He can just increase his strength attribute some more if he needed.

He then tested his other attributes one by one. He did some speed drills to evaluate his agility, he ran at his full speed for a few minutes to check his stamina. As for his vitality, he could already feel himself a lot more healthy and energised than before. His skin which was sickly pale previously now had its paleness disappeared. His face also had a healthy glow.

After doing different kinds of exercises as tests, he finally concluded that now he was 'Normal'. Yeah normal! Although he was stronger, faster and healthier than when he woke up in this world, he was only comparable to a normal human being.

'For now, this is good. I should familiarise myself with my body first, after that I'll see slowly increase my attributes. Now... it's time to put all the remaining lust points into mana.' Max decided and opened his stat screen.

He then tapped on mana repeatedly and put more than half of the lust points into mana. When he tried to increase his other attributes by one or two points, he was startled as this required him to spend one hundred lust points just to increase one attribute point, therefore he decided to put all the remaining LPs into mana as it still needed only ten LP for one mana point.

In a few seconds, he was done. He could feel a mist-like substance swirling around him and entering his body out of nowhere. It was a nice and cool feeling. 'This is mana huh.' After no more mana was there he looked at his stat screen.

"Nice!" Max exclaimed after seeing his mana points increase by a lot. "With this much mana, I should be at least considered a novice mage right?" He pondered.

Chapter 17 Ridicule

𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

As there was still some time until dinner, Max went to the library to learn more about mana and the requirements to become a novice mage, one-star mage, two-star mage etc.

He reached the library after walking for a few minutes. It was quite a big room that was used as a library. There were many shelves full of books. He went to the mage section which had most of the details known to the public.

He quickly skimmed through a few books and found what he was looking for. But he was surprised by a certain thing.

It was not because of what he read in the books but because he was able to read at all. He didn't have any memory of his predecessor thus it was perplexing that he could read their language.

'Now that I think about it, I shouldn't even understand what others were speaking but obviously, I can and speak this language too.' Max frowned and thought for a while but he couldn't find an answer. So he dismissed it as something related to his reincarnation.

Mage ranks were decided by many important factors. Having an adequate amount of mana was one of them. Although it is not something you can count. but same as water is also quantified in units.

Mana is the driving force of magic. Without enough mana, you can't hope to become a mage and can only become guards to some noble household or choose to be a non-magic class warrior or choose some blacksmith like occupation to make a living.

All in all, having mana is the most important thing to have if you want to be a strong mage.

A person was considered a novice mage when he or she has at least one hundred units of mana. Five hundred units of mana give you qualifications to be a one-star mage. one thousand units of mana, two-star mage. Ten thousand units make you eligible to be a three-star mage and so on.

'These mana units should be equivalent to my mana points.' Max thought and most likely this was the case.

'If this is the case, does that mean I'm more powerful than a novice mage?" He wondered pleasantly surprised by this thought. He had 308 mana points which meant he was only 192 away from being a one-star mage or at being eligible to.

"Let's go and have dinner with everyone. I will test my strength against Lilly tomorrow. I guess she is stronger than a one-star mage according to what she told me.

He then went out of the library and walked toward the dining hall.

...

...

When he reached the dining hall. There were Anna, Emily and two of his brother Noah and William with their wives Chloe and Eva sitting by their sides.

Seeing Max coming, Anna jovially waved her hand in greeting while blonde-haired cold beauty Emily slightly nodded her head. Max looked at the two of them in a daze for a second but quickly snapped out of it and waved his hand and smiled back in greeting.

"Oh, is that my worthless brother? It's very good to see you in high spirits just after you woke up from a deadly injury. It's very surprising though. I thought that for at least half a year I won't have to see this irritating face of yours." Suddenly his brother William spoke in a mocking tone.

Noah laughed and said, "It's true that useless people live a thousand years while heroes die early." Chloe his wife covered her mouth with one hand and giggled. While William and Eva also laughed.

Max looked at both of them calmly without saying anything but he had a cold look in his eyes.

Unlike Max, Anna erupted in anger after hearing their ridicule and pointed at Noah "Brother how can you say that to him. He is our brother. You shouldn't make fun of him just because he is weak. If you continue doing it I will tell father about it." Noah and Anna were from the same mother. Noah was 22 years old while Anna was 20.

Noah clicked his tongue in annoyance "What will you say to father? We only stated the truth. And why would you always cling to him, your talent will also be wasted if you keep him company."

"Yeah, Anna. You shouldn't stay close to the trash like him. Ha ha ha." William laughed.

"YOU..." Anna was boiling in anger to the point she couldn't speak.

"Enough! If you spout any nonsense I won't mind showing you how much of a trash you two are." Emily coldly interjected.

Max looked at his sisters who clearly cared about him. He felt warmth in his heart. It doesn't matter if he scumbags as brothers if he had someone who cared for him.

Noah and William laughed awkwardly and reluctantly stopped speaking. In front of Emily, they couldn't say much as she was already a two-star mage and they weren't worth much compared to her. However, an arrogant voice sounded out at this moment...

"Ohh, Why is my beloved little sister getting angry for a mere trash. What Noah and William said I very much agree to it." Max turned to see who was speaking in this way to Emily. It was Mark, eldest son of Ashton Garfield who same as Emily was a two-star mage.

Mark and Emily were from the same mother. He was a handsome man with blonde hair and a bulky body. He had two women in his left and right arms. They were his wives Lacey and Layla. Both of them had good figures and big buttocks which looked very sensual in the way they were moving when they walk. 'It seems he is into this type of girls huh.' Max inwardly licked his lips seeing their seductive figures. Although they weren't comparable to Lilly, Anna or Emily in beauty, they still were quite attractive.

"Do you want to fight me?" Emily glanced at him and spoke coldly.

"Hahaha, why would I want to fight my dear sister? But what they said was the truth, wasn't it?" Mark said with a smile but inwardly he was furious. 'This bitch. Just you wait. Soon enough I'll be the lord of the Garfield family. Then I'll show you that having superior talent doesn't mean shit.'

Mark was now 26 years old and he became a two-star mage just a year ago. It clearly shows that his talent is worse than Emily who became a mage at the age of 22. This was the reason he hated his sister.

After a while, his father with three beautiful mature women arrived and sat in their respective seats. Everyone present including Max greeted them.

Today Max noticed each one of them. One of the women who was blonde, was the mother of Mark and Emily, Esther. She has a similar temperament to Emily but she had a different charm to her.

Another woman who wore a gentle expression on her face was the mother of Anna and Noah, Amelia. His silky black hair Cascaded down like a waterfall. Her face was devoid of any blemish. She was quite opposite of Esther.

The third woman had a petite figure with big breasts and she was beautiful too. But Other than this she had no striking features was considered normal compared to other women of the house. Her name was Mina.

Chapter 18 No Longer A Trash

After everyone was seated, Maids instantly brought the food to the table and served them.

Ashton spoke after they had started eating "Max, I heard you went to the training hall a while back. Do you... perhaps want to start training again?"

Everyone was silent after he stopped speaking and looked toward Max with different thoughts running through their mind.

"Yes, father. I want to train again." Max said after thinking for a while. Although his initial plan was to live a leisurely life but after knowing more about this world he changed it. Now he wants to enjoy while becoming strong. He didn't want anyone to mock him for being weak as he wasn't able to tolerate it.

"Good... good!" Ashton heavily nodded with a smile on his face.

"How about I assign some special body trainers to teach you. That way even without magic your body will get stronger and in the future when your body has strengthened to some degree and is capable to hold mana, I'll arrange for some mana elixirs for you. It can help you to sense mana better and increase it. Then you can..."

Ashton excitedly gave out his suggestions but before he could continue Max interrupted him.

"Father that won't be necessary. I'm able to sense mana and I think I'm able to fight novice mages now." Max said calmly but no was calm after hearing him. All of them had surprised expressions.

Before anyone could speak William burst out laughing "Hahaha, Since when did you become so delusional Max? Sense mana? Fight novice mages? You don't even have an ounce of mana and your affinity with mana is absolutely zero. Who are you kidding? Ha ha ha." Noah and Mark also wore mocking expressions.

Mina, William's mother glared at him to stop him from speaking further. Although what William said was rude and hateful but this was also true.

Anna, Emily and Ashton had pained expressions on their faces thinking that he was finally unable to bear the mockery of his siblings and to console himself made this story in his mind. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

Looking at their expressions Max smiled wryly. Most probably they won't believe anything he said to convince them so he extended his hand, open his palm and closed his eyes.

Mana started to swirl around his palm and in the next moment, a transparent ball of mana was on his palm. This was what he learned from the library before 'How to gather mana for novices'. He just followed what he read and here we are. but as he wasn't any familiar with mana or any spell, tens of mana points were consumed in this small action. His breathing became a little forceful and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this turn of events. Ashton, Emily, Anna and others rubbed their eyes to see if it was an illusion but the mana ball was still there on his palm rotating.

William who was mocking him just now and Noah and Mark stared their eyes open wide.

William muttered "How... how is this possible? Weren't you just a useless trash? How can you?..."

Ashton quickly collected himself and burst out laughing loudly, Mana around him became restless "Hahahaha! Good... good... very good... my son isn't useless anymore. Hahaha Hannah our son isn't useless anymore." Tears trickled down from his eyes. He had never been so happy, he was now.

Anna was smiling happily and Emily also had a subtle smile on her lips.

It took some time for Ashton to calm down. He then looked at Max and said "Good son. Tell me how do you want to train or anything you need. I'll provide whatever you need."

Max pondered for a while. He didn't know anything as to how he should train so said "I don't know how should I proceed ahead, father. Maybe I should start by gaining better control over mana."

"It's fine. You can ask Emily or Anna to teach you that as they will stay here for a few more days before going to their academy and I'll try to help you personally when I have time." Ashton waved his hand and said while looking at Emily who nodded her head silently.

Anna also nodded her head happily "I'll help you, Max."

Max smiled at her. Although she was two years older than him, she behaved like a child in front of him.

While they discussed, Mark was gnashing his teeth silently. He didn't look happy at all. He has constipated look on his face. Noah and William also seemed unhappy.

...

...

After dinner, Max returned to his room. Lilly was not here so she must have returned to maid quarters.

'I'll have to arrange for her to live with me.' Max thought.

He lay in his bed thinking about all that happened in the two days since he woke up in this body and Slowly he fell asleep.

He woke up late in the morning, refreshed. He yawned while stretching his body a little then walked into the bathroom. After a while, he came out and get dressed. He didn't wear his usual robes but choose to wear pants and a full-sleeved shirt or at least it resembled them but it was very comfortable to move around in them and looked very good on him.

While he was getting ready, Lilly came into his room after knocking.

"Good morning young master!" She greeted him and stood a few feet away from him.

Max looked at her to see her beautiful and adorable face which had a shy smile adorning it. She stood still fidgeting about.

Max was amused to see her all shy. He then spoke, "Good morning Lilly! Did you sleep well?"

Lilly was surprised by his random question but answered "Yes young master!"

"Good. and are you alright? I mean you don't have any pain or some other problem because of what we did yesterday?" Max asked walking toward her and whispering the last sentence in her ear and inhaling her scent.

Lilly blushed furiously upon hearing his question. Just in a second, her breathing became ragged and her face flushed red.

"It...It doesn't h-hurt and I don't have any other problems also." She said visibly flustered.

Max chuckled and didn't tease her anymore. "Let's go and have breakfast. Today we have to work hard." He smiled and led her outside.

They had breakfast together at the dining table because no one was there except for them. Lilly kept refusing but Max insisted.

After that Max tried finding Emily but couldn't and ended up coming across Anna.

"Max, What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for..." Anna didn't let him complete his sentence and spoke excitedly.

"Oh, I know you were looking for me to help you learn fighting and become adept at using mana right?"

Looking at her expression Max didn't want to make her sad so he nodded which made her happier. She grabbed his hand and led him to the training hall.

Chapter 19 Training With Anna

They shortly arrived in the training hall. There were many guards and knights practising and sparring with one another.

"Greetings Young miss, Greetings Young master!"

"Greetings Young miss, Greetings Young master!"

"Greetings Young miss...

" Greetings...

Noticing them coming in, every guard and knight greeted them. Their gaze toward Anna was filled with reverence which confused Max a little. If this was Emily he would understand but Anna was only a one-star mage.

Thinking this Max asked Lilly in a whisper about this. Lilly looked at him as if he was a fool which in turn made him slightly embarrassed.

"Young master, you might think that becoming a one-star mage is quite easy right?" Lilly asked as if she already knew his answer.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Mhm...!" Max nodded.

Lilly shook her head and continued "In reality, It is very difficult. Especially for commoners like me and these guards and knights who don't have any resources or status to get into any reputable academy to learn magic. Even for nobles, it is considerably difficult to become a one-star mage without many precious resources, right guidance and most importantly talent."

"You can become a novice mage easily through meditation or some sort of special exercises to sense and accumulate mana or eating mana rich food for a longer period of time as you only need to have 100 units of mana which the human body can contain easily.

But to become a one-star mage not only do you have to accumulate 500 units of mana inside your body which is a difficult task as the human body doesn't have this capacity. Thus you also have to compress it enough to liquefy it or in its normal form if someone tries to accumulate in their body they will simply explode. After mana becomes liquid you have to consciously make it flow inside your body to strengthen your body so that it can contain more mana.

"This is why countless people remain novice mage their entire life and that is also why people respect those who can become a one-star mage and that too in their early twenties which indicates the talent of a person." After hearing this he nodded in understanding.

'Does the same process apply to me or not?' Max wondered. After all, he has the lust system by which he can get stronger but he didn't know whether it will help also him do the said process or he will have to do it himself.

"Max, you said you can fight a novice mage right? How about we spar a little so that I can see how much efficiently you use your and gauge your control over it so that I can guide you properly." Anna spoke which made him come out of his daze.

"I don't think that's necessary because I don't have any control over mana and it took quite an effort for me to gather it around my palm when I demonstrated yesterday." Max smiled bitterly.

"Oh... Max, do you the know most efficient way to get better at sensing and controlling mana?" Anna asked, she had a completely different expression than her usual childish and happy go lucky attitude.

"No" Max replied without hesitation as he simply had no idea.

"It's to fight. Fight while using your mana consciously to be precise. It doesn't matter how you use it, Be it in spells or with weapons etc. When you fight your control gradually becomes better and as you have a limited amount of mana you learn how to use it efficiently." She replied while waving her little fists around.

"Is that so?" Max pondered and found her reasoning to be right. No matter what to want to learn. The fastest way is always to try it yourself so that you can know where you are making mistakes etc.

"Okay let me find a suitable opponent then." Max nodded and was about to turn towards the knights when Anna grabbed his hand.

"You don't have to look for anyone. I'll fight with you." She winked at him playfully.

"You? aren't you a one-star mage?" Max asked her warily. Given her playful nature, she might accidentally injure him which he didn't want.

Anna pouted her small pink lips "So what? I'll be careful not to hurt you. Don't you believe me that much?"

Seeing her behaviour he sighed and nodded "Alright."

"Yay! That's my sweet little Max." She instantly became energetic.

Max looked at her up and down and said in his mind 'Compared to you I'm indeed little, especially in some places. cough! cough!'

...

...

"First of all, try feeling mana inside your body at all times and when you start attacking use mana to boost your speed by focusing it on your feet or on your fists, on the weapon to make the attack stronger. It is important to..." Anna slowly explained what he had to do and what he should keep in mind.

"Okay enough with the explanation. Come let's fight now." She gestured for him with her fingers to come forward.

"Huu.."

Ads by Pubfuture

Max took a deep breath while sensing the mana flowing inside of him. He tried to concentrate it below his feet and dashed toward her.

'Eh~'

He let out a surprised gasp in his head. By using mana to boost his strength required him to constantly focus on it which made him feel a headache but in return, he was almost two times faster than what he normally was.

'It really is magical.' He thought and simultaneously focused his mana on his fists which made him feel dizzy. He threw his fist at her chest. His punch seemed quite powerful but Anna gently sidestepped and dodged it with ease. Due to the fast speed and the strength behind his punch, he couldn't stop himself and crashed into the ground face first. Fortunately, the ground wasn't cemented or he would have lost a few teeth.

"Pffffttt~ "

Anna burst out laughing and some guards who stopped to watch their spar chuckled lightly so as not to let anyone hear it.

Max spit out dirt and rose from the ground. He had a serious look on his face. 𝚋𝚎𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Hahaha, Max you need to familiarise yourself with the speed and power which you have after using mana first. Otherwise, you won't be able to properly use your power." Anna advised after seeing his expression.

Following this, they continued their 'spar' until Max was completely out of breath and collapsed on the ground but he had a satisfied smile on his face. He was starting to get used to mana and was becoming more proficient in using it.

Chapter 20 Magic Academy

Max trained with Anna for a few days. He could now control mana inside his body like any other person which surprised Anna and Lilly a bit as it was a very fast improvement at the same time they were happy too.

Emily also came during their training to give him some tips. Max was now skilled enough to fight a novice mage on equal footing and sometimes can even overpower them thanks to his high mana.

...

...

"You've improved very fast little Max. You have to train daily and accumulate more fighting experience. If in the future you came across some dangerous situation, you should know how to fight or your life might forfeit." Anna advised.

"What do you mean Anna? Aren't you here to train with me? You won't let me slack off anyway." Although Anna was gentle and cheerful by nature, she was very strict when it came to training. In these past few days, she didn't even let him sleep late in the morning which he wanted so badly and pointed out his mistakes every so often that max felt he won't be able to do this anymore.

Anna smiled "Ohh is my little Max still want to train with me?" She asked in a teasing tone.

Max smiled but didn't respond. He was well aware of her nature after spending a few days with her. If he said something which she didn't like she would immediately make a sad face which he didn't want.

"You should know that we were here for your birthday celebration which we weren't celebrating because certain someone was being a little too much brave and got seriously injured." She looked at him with a grin on her seemingly innocent face and added "Now we have to return to the academy therefore my little brother you will have to train on your own."

"Ohh!" Max exclaimed in surprise. He couldn't help but felt a little sad knowing he won't be able to see Her and Emily. After waking up in this world he became very close to Lilly, Anna and Emily. They were his only ones and who gave a damn about him, that is of course, except for his father.

"When are you going?" He asked, his mood turned slightly sour but he quickly regained his composure.

Anna noticed the slight change in his mood and joked "We will go tomorrow. It will take a few days to reach the academies and we only have 4-5 days until we have to report back. What? Don't tell me you can't bear to part with me. If you want to, you can join my Academy where we will be in touch." She winked and put her arm around his shoulder which made her look a little awkward as she was not as tall as Max.

He knew she wanted to cheer him up so he smiled at her and seriously thought about her casual words.

"How can I join your Academy?" He abruptly asked.

Anna looked at his serious face and couldn't help but smile wryly. She sighed "Our Academy recruits students every two years and coincidentally after two more months it will recruit again. But it isn't easy to get into our Academy. Our Cloud Academy is one of the top five magic academies of our kingdom. Therefore its requirements are very stringent too." She paused for a second then continued.

"First, you must be a one-star mage or you won't even be able to take part in the recruitment test. Second, you must have at least second-grade talent or affinity with mana. After that, you will be required to pass a test that is different every time. If you fulfil all conditions you can join our Academy."

"That's the case." Max nodded and thought for a while.

"How do I know the grade of my affinity with mana?" He asked.

Anna and Lilly looked at him strangely but Anna chose to answer him "You can just ask father to evaluate it for you." She then added, "But max you know that your affinity with mana is not... too good."

Max chucked at this "You want to say that I have zero affinity for mana right?"

Anna nodded reluctantly. She was afraid he would get hurt if she told him directly but she didn't want him to get his hopes high in vain.

Max didn't feel bad, he just smiled a little and said "That was the case before. It is not the same anymore or how would I have become strong enough to beat a novice mage."

The realisation struck her after hearing his words although she was dazed by his beautiful smile for a moment. It was right. Before He wasn't even able to accumulate mana inside his body, much less become as strong as he was now. It must be that his affinity has increased. Her eyes shone brightly realising this. She jumped on him excitedly like a little kid and gave him a tight hug.

"Hehehe, You are right little Max. Sorry I didn't think that. Now you should have a chance as long as you become a one-star mage in two months." She giggled but after Finishing her last sentence her laughter came to a stop. She looked at him with worry "But Max it isn't easy to become a one-star mage in such a short time."

Max seeing her expression change many times in a short time couldn't help but pinch her cheeks lovingly "It's okay. I'll figure out a way to do it."

"Ugh..." Anna looked at him indignantly, rubbing her baby cheeks.

Max wasn't even worried about becoming a one-star mage. He could just have a few more juicy sessions with Lilly and he would have enough mana to level up but the problem was he didn't know if the system will help him liquefy mana to strengthen his body as Lilly explained to him.

...

...

In the night after dinner, Anna gathered Max and Emily to chat for a while as she also want to spend more time with her brother and sister before parting ways.

They chatted while drinking wine which after a few glasses made the mood cheerful. Anna started telling them about her experiences in the academy and made jokes by which even Emily laughed. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

They casually chatted about many things. Max came to know that Although Emily and Anna were going together. They were in different academies. Emily was in the Royal Academy which was ranked second in the whole kingdom. Royal Academy was run by the royal family of the Green leaf kingdom and they only accepted truly talented students.

Chapter 21 Lilly's Thoughts

The next day Emily and Anna left for their academies. To his surprise, his half brothers also went to their academies but he didn't know anything about their academies neither he had any interest in knowing.

His father Ashton got busy with his work and the women of the house busied themselves with whatever they wanted. Max also didn't waste any time, he called for Lilly and went to his room. He had very important work to do.

He has been holding himself back due to training with Anna. It was good to train. He got used to mana and was now able to use it to some extent. He didn't show or tell anyone about his fire element yet.

If he did. They might be suspicious as to how he suddenly could awaken his element when previously he wasn't even able to use mana.

...

The instant they entered his room, Max closed the door and lifted Lilly in a princess carry. He was didn't have any problem with lifting her light as a feather body after he increased his strength stat to a normal person's level.

He walked to his bed and put her gently on the bed. He lowered his face to hers and planted a kiss on her lips. Lilly closed her eyes.

Lilly's POV...

I was always grateful to the young master because he was the one who gave me this life or I would have been a slave all my life.

Over the years this gratitude turned into respect and then somehow into love. I don't know why I started to like him more and more as I served him. Maybe it was because he was always good to me or maybe he was just like me, lonely. I heard master Garfield talk about him with the butler that he wasn't like this before his mother died and he came to know about his weak talent.

He used to be a cheerful boy, just like Miss Anna and maybe that was why they cared about each other because of how similar they used to be. But after his mother died he cried for many days and when his talent was tested he went into depression and lost his motivation, he stopped interacting with everyone, he was always holed up in the library or garden.

When I overheard that, I felt how similar were our lives. I was also like a dead person until he brought me out of slavery. Initially, I thought he was one of those depraved, perverted and sadist nobles who treat their servants like toys. But how wrong I was. Not only he didn't treat me badly but also treated me with care. He treated me like I was his equal. That was when I started to develop some feelings towards him.

After he got injured and was unconscious for five days I felt my world crumble. How I wished him to wake and get better! And he did. I was relieved but when he asked me in a roundabout manner what she what do for him. I instantly knew what he wanted to ask. I didn't hesitate and told him that I'll his and he can do whatever he wanted with me.

I was very happy the first time we had sex. It was especially good for me because I was doing it with the man I love. Although he told me that I was his woman, I do not hope for that much as long as I can be with him.

Today after miss Emily and miss Anna and others went away and he asked me to come with him, I knew that today I'm going to be with him again.

Right after we entered his room he lifted me gently. My heart was racing. I felt very happy seeing him treat me with love and care. When he kissed me, I felt electricity coursing through my body. I want to say out loud that I love him but I'm afraid... afraid that he might leave me altogether thinking that I wanted something he can't give to a mere maid. but his next words made me look at him dumbfounded.

"Why don't you start living with me in this room? I'll talk to my father if it's alright with you."

I stared at him not sure what to say. Although I was surprised, I was happy too. I nodded without saying anything.

His smile widened and kissed me again. I closed my eyes to feel this sensation which was very warm, at the same time was elusive.

...

Seeing her nod, Max was excited at the thought of being with her all the time.

He kissed her passionately, his tongue dancing around and sucking on her sweet tongue. While kissing he started caressing his breasts slowly.

After a few minutes of kissing and caressing, Max and Lilly's face had a reddish hue. They were breathing heavily. Max, without wasting any more seconds, took her and his clothes off.

His thick rod stood erect and hard. With his right hand he started squeezing her left breast while he licked, flicked, sucked and occasionally bit on her right nipple. His left hand rubbed her pussy which was already wet.

"I think you are ready." He whispered in her ear, licking her earlobe.

Lilly blushed furiously hearing his words but she nodded as she want to experience that heavenly feeling again.

Max positioned himself between her legs while spreading them apart. He rubbed his cock on the entrance of her pussy which made her pussy flinch and her body shiver.

He Grabbed her slender waist and trust forward. Half of his dick went inside his warm vagina.

"Ahh...umm..."

She moaned feeling his rod inside her. He then started thrusting in and out of her pussy slowly then with a hard thrust he shoved his cock until balls in her sacred cave.

"Ahhh...haah...haaa..."

Lilly moaned loudly. Unlike the previous time, this time she didn't feel any pain, only pleasure.

Soon, in his room only the slapping sound of their flesh and Lilly's moan could be heard.

Chapter 22 Ashton's Advice

They had all sex all day and only went out for dinner. When night came they both were exhausted thus they slept while hugging each other.

Next morning when Max woke up, Lilly was looking at his face, dazed.

Max gently tapped her nose "Good morning beautiful!"

"G-Good morning young master!" She greeted him back. 𝚋𝚎𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

Max pinched her nose this time and said "You don't need to call me young master when we are alone okay."

Lilly didn't say anything, she just nodded and snuggled in his chest lovingly. Max smile at this and cupped her face and planted a kiss on her pink lips.

...

For a few days, their days passed like this. He enjoyed his time with Lilly. They had sex almost daily. He had now accumulated many lust points but he didn't use them yet. One day his father, Ashton Garfield, called for him.

When he went to meet his father with the butler, he was in his study going through some documents. When Max entered his study chamber, he stopped doing what he was doing and waved his hand to the Butler who escorted Max here. Butler bowed and left.

"Come sit son." He gestured him to sit in the seat next to him.

Max didn't hesitate and sat down. Ashton spoke after a few moments.

"Do you what is important in a man's life?" he asked looking at Max, his face calm.

Max was bewildered by the question. He gave it some thought and was about to speak when he answered his own question.

"I am sure what you thought would also be important but the answer I have for this question is his dignity. Dignity is very important to a man. If you don't have any dignity, any respect, then there is no value to your life."

Max listened attentively. He wasn't sure what his father wanted say so he listened.

"I know Max what you have been doing for the fast few days and I won't tell you to stop. If you like Lilly I've no objection whatsoever. You should do what you want in your life. I did the same too.

But you mustn't forget that in this world, only strong have dignity, respect. Only they can protect their loved ones. You might not know but danger is lurking everywhere. Hard times are ahead of us.

I was always worried for you because you couldn't train and didn't have any hope to become a mage. But by god's grace now you can. So, You must focus on your training more son. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to protect our family. You have to become strong so that if I'm not here to protect them, then you can. Now go son and think how you want to live your life." He patted Max's shoulder and sent him out.

Watching his figure disappearing Ashton shook his head and sighed. 'I hope you won't disappoint me Max.'

...

Max was sitting in his room, thinking about his father's words. After sitting there for a few hours he stood up. He had decided to work hard to become strong as not to let his father down. In his previous life he couldn't do anything for his father who worked all his life for him. But this time he once again had chance.

He went out of his room and quickly found Lilly. He then told her to accompany him to the forest.

He wanted to train there, fighting real life battles with magical beasts. In these past few days, Max came to know that although Lilly had yet to become a one-star mage, she was only a step away from it thus he decided to take her with him so that she also can train and he will have company there.

...

They took a horse from the stable and Headed in the direction of the forest. Max sat behind Lilly holding her slender waist. Unlike the first Lilly didn't feel uncomfortable or nervous with him holding her waist and sitting behind her. In fact she was happy.

They had accepted each other in body and soul. Max even moved her to his room so that they could be together all the time. This made Lilly to love him even more.

Now they were like real couples. Lilly won't object whenever he asked to have sex or tease her when no one was around. Thanks to their 'special' training in bed Max had a lot of lust points available but he didn't use them.

After travelling for more than half an hour they arrived outside the forest.

"Young master we've arrived," Lilly called out softly.

Max who was leaning his head on her shoulder, inhaling her aroma, woke up from his trance. "Good. Let's go get some fighting experience." He said excitedly.

They left their horse outside and walked into the forest. Not long after they found a silver wolf. It was resting on a rock, its eyes shut. Its fur was silver-coloured. It didn't have an intimidating presence so Max turned to Lilly and asked in a whisper.

"How about we fight this..." Max hadn't even finished speaking when Lilly grabbed his hand and ran in the opposite direction at full speed.

...

After getting far enough from the silver wolf she stopped, breathing heavily. Her forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat but Max situation was worse than her. He was gasping for air badly. Although he had grown stronger but her physical capacity was only equal to a normal human. He had a confused look on his face because he didn't know why they had to run like their life depended on it. but he could guess it was related to that harmless looking wolf.

"What happened Lilly? Why did we have to run away?" Max asked after catching his breath.

"Young master, we should get out of here as soon as possible." Lilly spoke grimly.

"What... Why? Can you tell me what is the matter?" He asked puzzled with her answer.

Lilly took a deep breath "Young master, As you can see we are only in the outer region of the forest but we encountered a powerful beast. Remember Last time we came here with miss Emily she said that manor has received requests to kill some beasts as they are starting to target merchant caravans and that time, when we were only at the periphery of inner area but we encountered that a two star beast, red hawk."

"And now we encountered that silver wolf just in the outer region. it's not a normal occurrence by any means. We should get out of here as soon as possible and inform master Ashton about the situation here, if not it can be a huge problem because I think a... beast tide might be rising. Lilly explained, fear visible on her face.

Beast tide? It was when the beasts, in large numbers, get out of control and attacked whoever or whatever they encounter. It was said that in the past many villages, towns and even some cities were destroyed in these beast tides.

Chapter 23 Beast Tide

Max's face also turned pale with fright. He knew about beast tides as he was visiting the library very often now a days and came to know about a lot of things. That's why he knew how horrifying beast tides can be.

"Lilly, That... that silver wolf, what grade beast was it?" Max asked visibly shaken by the revelation. And As he still couldn't tell the ranks of beasts by simply looking at them, he wanted to know it's rank even though he already had a guess given that they made a hasty retreat just after seeing it from afar.

*Haa...!*

Lilly breathed heavily, that look of abject horror deepening on her face as she recalled it. she slowly said

"A... two-star beast!"

Max's complexion changed as he nodded slightly, he was right on his assumption. He kept breathing evenly, trying to keep his calm. 'It's a good thing that I brought her with me if not, I would have been killed by that wolf.' He shivered inwardly realising how close he was attacking that beast and if he did that, the silver wolf would have shredded him into pieces.

"Let's go..." Max turned to look at Lilly and said.

Roar!

Ads by Pubfuture

Howl!

...

Just when they started to run, the ground started trembling. Roars and howls of beasts resounded from deep within the forest.

After a few seconds, the sounds kept coming closer and closer. Both Lilly and Max's faces went pale due to the approaching danger.

Thinking that it was only a matter of time before the beast hoard spotted them, Lilly reacted really fast. She grabbed his hand and jumped into a nearby pit, which was dug by some hunters for the purpose of trapping beasts. After jumping inside she held both of her hands high and shouted in a low voice.

"Ice barrier!"

Her mana started to turn into ice. A thick sheet of ice covered the pit in a matter of seconds. Her face went pale as if all the blood was sucked out of it. Her chest was heaving up and down as she breathed heavily. Even with her ghostly white, face she was beautiful.

Max, who looked at this was mesmerised by this beautiful scene but he knew this was not the time to think like that. He asked with concern "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Young master. I just used most of my mana to cast this barrier." Lilly smiled seeing the worry in his eyes.

"Good!" Max nodded. He didn't think of reminding her not to call him young master or ask about when she awakened her ice element, in this situation.

"Lilly, what do you think is happening outside now?" Max asked. He could hear the constant sounds of beasts running around.

"I think... beasts have already started moving. In no time Claymore town will be under attack." She said after hesitating for a moment.

"Oh!" Max exclaimed. He then added "But my father can defend the town against their attack with the army of our manor knights and others right?" He asked with a tinge of anxiety in his voice.

Lilly didn't respond, she seemed to think for a while and then responded.

"Yes, Lord Ashton, as a three-star mage with knight's army is fully capable of resisting the beast tide, unless..." She didn't dare to speak further.

Max's ears perked up at this. He asked, "Unless what?"

Lilly looked at him quietly then slowly explained "A few years ago there was a rumour that when a group of two-star mages came to hunt a few two-star beasts and while hunting they ventured deeper." 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

"There they encountered a three-star beast which annihilated their group and with some luck, only one person could escape with serious injuries. He told the people about the beasts and how horrifyingly strong it was but he couldn't report it to the Viscount manor and succumbed to his injuries."

"When this rumour reached Lord Ashton, he personally led a party to hunt this monster down but he couldn't find it. So, people assumed that it was only a rumour. But Lord Ashton was worried for many days because of it. I think he might have found out that this wasn't some baseless rumour."

"But if that was true then I'm afraid that everyone will be in grave danger unless Lord Ashton can kill this three-star beast before it wreaks havoc in the town."

After Lilly stopped speaking, Max couldn't help but be worried. He wasn't worried for the people of the town or something. He was worried about his father's safety.

He mumbled "My father is also a three-star mage. I think he can handle that beast if it showed up." He said this not only to Lilly but also to himself.

Just then a terrifying presence rose within the forest and went towards the town. Under that presence Max And Lilly unconsciously stopped breathing and didn't dare to move, even if they already had an ice barrier protecting them. After all, Who can exude such presence, definitely can break the barrier casted by a novice mage.

...

...

After what it seemed like an eternity, the sounds of beasts running around stopped.

"Lilly we should go now. I want to return home as soon as possible." Max said with a nervous expression.

Lilly also had the same expression because she also felt that presence. She had a bad premonition. Although she wanted him not to go now as there should be a bloodbath as of now but staying in the forest was even more dangerous, who knows when some powerful beasts would find and kill them.

They hurriedly made their way toward the town. When they were out of the forest, they both sighed a sigh of relief.

As they ran towards the town, their expressions gradually turned ugly.

Chapter 24 Chaotic Situation

Many corpses of humans and beasts were scattered around the streets. Many of the buildings, houses, shops etc had collapsed. Many common people were running around for their life. Mages were fighting the beats but as beasts were a lot in numbers, Human mages couldn't hold themselves against the beasts and their number gradually dwindled.

Max had his eyes open wide seeing the scene in front of him. It was even more horrifying than the Apocalypse movies he had seen in his previous life. It was utter chaos and destruction.

An ape spotted them and came running towards them at a fast speed and punched in their direction with its muscular arms.

Max who was feeling uneasy seeing all the destruction around him, he was concerned about his father's safety and when he saw the ape attacking him, his blood boiled in anger. He pointed at the ape and shouted 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

"Fireball!"

A ball of fire materialised in front of his finger, he then threw it at the upcoming ape's head. This was the skill he learned by himself. To use this skill he has to channel and rotate his fire elemental mana in front of him at high speeds which was very difficult for him in the beginning but through some practice and a little guidance from Emily he was able to do it, but still, his mana consumption was very high.

The ape didn't expect the sudden attack and was caught off guard.

BANG!

Ads by Pubfuture

An explosion occurred when the fireball collided with its head. As Max had attacked in anger and poured all his mana into the attack, the ape's head exploded in fire. The ape was only comparable to a novice mage and When Max attacked almost using 200 mana points for the attack, there was no chance for its survival.

Lilly who stood by his side was stunned. Although in Garfield manor everyone knew that he could use mana to cultivate his strength and was as strong as a novice mage but She didn't think that he was this strong, capable of killing a beast of novice mage rank with one attack.

Quickly her eyes widened even more as she realised that the fire he conjured wasn't the same as others conjured but was his elemental fire. 'Young master has awakened his element!' She exclaimed in her mind but at the same time, she felt a little sad because he didn't tell her about it, even after all the time they spent together.

...

...

"Lilly let's go. We don't have time to waste here. I want to make sure everyone is safe." Max spoke while running toward his home. "These fucking beasts, they didn't even spare that horse." He cursed inwardly because he was starting to feel exhausted.

They quickly arrived at the part of town where viscount manor was and the privileged class resided. Here the scene was completely different. Corpses littered the area but most of them were beast corpses.

Most of the one-star and two-star mages resided in this area. So when beasts attacked, every mage present retaliated in kind. Although they successfully killed many beasts, many mages or their families were slaughtered in the meantime, their residences destroyed.

Seeing this Max's anxiety lessened a little. If even these mages could kill them and survive their all-out assault then there was no doubt his father who was the strongest in Claymore town, could do the same.

Just when Max sighed, there was a loud explosion in Viscount manor's direction which made him uneasy. He quickly ran toward the area of the explosion.

When he reached there, he saw a man and a silver wolf fighting. The Silver Wolf was more than five meters tall. Its silver fur was glistening in a white glow. It didn't have any visible injury.

The man who was fighting the silver wolf was his father, Ashton Garfield. He was hovering slightly above the ground. Small wind tornadoes were spinning around him. His golden robe fluttered wildly in the wind. A trail of blood was flowing from the corner of his lips but he didn't seem to care about it.

Max looked around. Half the area of the viscount estate was destroyed. Many corpses of knights and guards and beasts were strewed around.

"It seems they especially targeted the viscount manor and knights were killed. That's why I didn't see any knight helping other people and killing beasts until now." Max muttered.

Lilly also nodded her head. Little did they know that when beasts attacked all of a sudden, many of their knights ran for the fear of their lives. Only Half of these knights were killed by the beasts, while his father killed the other half when he saw them run away.

"Lilly is that the same silver wolf we saw in the forest?" Max asked but he already knew the answer. If it wasn't a three-star beast then there was no way it could injure his father.

"No, young master. It's the three-star beast. The silver wolf we saw was only a two-star beast. Although they look the same but their strength is on different levels." Lilly answered she knew he was getting anxious or he would find that out just by their size. This silver wolf was almost double the size of the one they had seen in the forest.

...

Ashton caught glimpse of Max and shouted: "Max some of the beasts have entered our manor Although there are knights and butler George but you should also go inside and accompany and make sure your mothers and sisters in law are safe."

"But father..." Max was interrupted before he could speak any more. "Don't worry about me. This beast is not enough to kill your father. Go and make sure they are safe and don't come out until I tell you to."

Max didn't say anything anymore and went into the manor with Lilly. He knew he was saying that because he didn't want him to stay out in the open where he could be attacked at any time or might get killed by the shockwaves of their fight. Inside the manor knights and Butler George who was a peak two-star mage, could save him.

Chapter 25 Fighting Silver Wolf

When Max with Lilly entered the manor which was now half-destroyed, he could see many corpses of beasts, guards and knights littered around.

Boom!

They heard fighting sounds coming from the back area of the manor. They hastily went over.

When they reached there, they saw butler George fighting the same silver wolf they saw in the forest. Butler George was barely holding himself against the silver wolf which indicated that the silver wolf was very strong compared to a normal two star beast because butler George was a peak two star mage.

Butler George had deep claw marks on his chest and blood was gushing out of the wound. His left hand was also bleeding. As for the wolf, its silver fur was glistening in white which provided it a great defence against magic attacks so butler George's spells were not as effective as they should be against it. Even so the silver wolf wasn't unharmed. Its front paws were bleeding and it had bloody wounds all over its body. its sliver fur were dyed red in blood.

Growl~

Max's attention was soon attracted by the beasts' growl from the side. When he looked there, his expression hardened.

His three-step mothers and sisters-in-law were surrounded by a group of more than twenty beasts. Their normal beautiful and elegant appearance were now haggard. Amelia, Anna's mother was lying on the ground, her torso was ripped and blood was gushing out of it. Layla, Mark's wife was using her healing magic to heal her injury.

Esther and Mina were casting their spells and killing the beasts who came close to them while Lacey, Layla and Eva were surrounding and protecting Amelia and Layla as she healed her.

Ads by Pubfuture

Esther, Amelia and Mina were two-starred mages. Esther like her cold nature was an ice type mage and was the strongest among Ashton's wives. Amelia was a half-awakened light type mage, Which meant that she could only use her light type magic at a very low level, thus limiting her strength. Mina was a strong earth type mage.

As for Lacey and Eva, they were only one starred mage and haven't awakened their elements yet. Therefore they could only assist their mothers in law by casting non-elemental magic.

...

...

A one-starred ape, with bulky body and seven feet height rushed in the direction of Esther with its both hand raised high to make a two-handed slam with the intent to crush her tiny head into a paste.

Esther's eyes flashed coldly and she raised her right hand above her head. An ice sword appeared above her hand which shot at a fast speed and penetrated the ape's skull with ease. A two starred mage possessed a very high quality and concentration of mana compared to one starred mage.

Thud!

Its movement stalled after running a few feet more and it collapsed with a thud on the ground, dead. Esther's face turned paler. Although she was a two starred mage, she had been fighting for more than an hour now and had consumed most of her mana. She looked at others and sighed. Everyone seemed to be running short on their mana reserves. Luster in her eyes becoming darker. All the hope was getting distant now.

Mina, who had also realised the situation they were in, greeted her teeth and squeezed out every last bit of her mana to cast another spell.

"Earth golems!"

Six, about eight feet tall golems made of mud appeared around her. She waved her hand and six golems charged at the group of beasts. Her petite body fell on the ground, exhausted. She could only hope for butler George to help them or Ashton to quickly finish his fight and come save them but how could a peak three-star beast go down so easily.

Lacey and Eva were casting their spells and conjuring different types of mana weapons to attack the beasts. but from the situation, one could easily tell that they won't last against more than twenty beasts, of which two of them were two-starred beasts.

...

Max who observed the situation after arriving at the scene couldn't help but be amazed at how different this world was. Although he liked this world due to how easily he could get the things he previously wanted, he was repulsed by all the bloodshed he has seen till now.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. For the better or worse he was here and going to spend the rest of his life in this world. It would be best if he could get used to the strangeness of this world.

Although Max had a few flaws such as his high sexual desires and after waking up here and getting the treatment of a prince, he wanted to spend his life enjoying himself without doing anything. He was by no means stupid to keep entertaining that kind of mentality especially after witnessing the reality of this world and realising how his father's words were correct.

He opened his status window and added all his accumulated lust points to mana stats. He couldn't be bothered to think if he would need to go through the same process to rise to a upper level mage as other people or not.

This situation didn't allow him to think of that. His stepmothers and others could no longer hold themselves against the beasts and George was also slowly being overwhelmed by the two-starred silver wolf.

More than ten thousand lust points vanished and his mana points increased by more than a thousand points. He could feel his body brimming with mana. His previously exhausted mana was also replenished.

[ Ding. Warning! The host has exceeded the 1000 mana points threshold. The host's body can't bear that much mana. The host will lose 2 vitality points per day. The host is advised to form his mana core to avoid eventual death. ]

Max ignored the warning message and rushed at the group of beasts surrounding the women while conjuring a big fireball.

Chapter 26 Fighting Silver Wolf(2)

Max casted the only spell he knew, [ fireball ]. He directly used 300 mana points as he didn't have any idea on how many mana points he should use to repel one-starred beasts here and a blazing fireball of one-meter diameter was shot at the hoard of beasts and detonated upon contact.

Boom!

An explosion occurred and about ten beasts who had been on verge of destroying earth golems were engulfed in the blazing fire and quickly turned to ashes.

Esther, Mina, and his sisters in law who had lost their hope looked at the devastating scene, hope again filling their eyes. When they turned to look at the one who casted this attack they were dumbfounded seeing Max running toward them.

In reality, even Max was stunned at this scene. He didn't expect his fireball to be this powerful. Previously when he used the same attack to kill that ape, although he only used around 200 mana points and it was able to explode its head but the resulting attack was nowhere comparable to this one. It should be noted that the beasts who died now were one starred beasts and not novice grade beasts like the previous ape.

What he didn't know was that when his mana points exceeded one thousand which was the required amount to become a two-starred mage, his mana underwent a change. Its quality and concentration were many times better and purer. It was one of the reasons that even the system had to issue a warning.

His body which was barely on the level of a human only could hold a maximum of five hundred mana units but he exceeded by more than two times. It was his luck that his body didn't explode and only corroded his vitality by two points daily. Even this was a huge cost to him given that he only has ten vitality points.

...

...

Max didn't think too much about it and conjured up another fireball but this time he only used 50 mana points and attack the cat-like beast that was charging toward Mina.

Boom!

It struck on its abdomen. An explosion occurred but it was very small compared to the previous one. The cat beast was thrown in the air, its abdomen and hind legs are was scorched, and bones could be seen sticking out. It crashed more than 10 meters away, it struggled to move but its life force was vanishing at a rapid speed. It lay there lifeless, never to get up again. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

'Tch, although my attacks got stronger somehow, but my stamina won't last long at this rate.' Max thought in annoyance. He was started to feel exhausted. He had run all the way from the forest to here, and now was consuming mana very quickly. It was natural that he would feel exhausted.

There were still ten beasts alive including the silver wolf butler George has been fighting. He shouted "Lilly, help them go to a safe place. I'll come after taking care of the remaining beasts."

Lilly nodded with a look of worry in her eyes. Even though She didn't know how her young master become so strong suddenly, she knew that it was very difficult for him to defeat the remaining beasts, two of which were two starred beasts. Nevertheless, she obeyed his order and went to the women's group and helped Esther and Mina up and escorted them to the nearest room while Layla, Lacey and Eva took the unconscious Amelia.

...

An ape and a panther, both two started beasts who were busy fighting Esther and Mina until now looked toward the explosion and witnessed ten of their companions turn into ashes. Their eyes became bloodshot and looked toward the perpetrator.

They stopped attacking the women and lunged toward him. Max who had just shouted his order to Lilly looked at the both of them coming at him with vicious ferocity.

Max quickly casted another fireball and used 200 mana points this time. He knew that these beasts were not as easy to kill as starred beasts.

He pointed at the three-meter tall ape who was coming at him at a fast speed. Max wanted to first kill the panther as it was more than two times faster than the ape and he might die to this panther. But as he wasn't sure if he could hit the Panther who was clearly more agile and could easily dodge his attack.

Roar!

Ape roared seeing the big fireball coming at him. It banged its chest with its fists and its fur started to harden. In a moment it became as sturdy as iron and the ape crossed its arms before its chest.

Ads by Pubfuture

Bang!

The fireball collided with the ape's sturdy body and exploded. When the fire stopped burning and the dust settled. A bloody ape with its hands mangled and most of its fur burned appeared in front of him.

Although the ape was a strong two-starred beast with strong defensive skill activated, Max who was also a two-star mage and used almost one-sixth of his mana for the single attack wasn't to be underestimated.

The ape was now incapacitated and flopped on the ground. Although it was not dead, it wasn't much of a threat now.

"Phew!"

Max exhaled heavily. He looked toward the panther who stopped to see the ape getting injured and then again charged at him. Its speed was so fast that Max couldn't even conjure up any fireball when the panther appeared in front of him and jumped at him with its maw open wide, not that he was confident of hitting a target that was moving at such fast speeds.

Max didn't hesitate and ducked down while conjuring a small fireball with 20 mana points. Fortunately, Max was able to dodge the panther's maw and claws by an heir. He then fired the small fist-sized fireball at its back and didn't even stop to look whether it hit it or not.

He sped toward George and shouted "George, you take care of this panther. I will deal with the silver wolf." He could see that the silver wolf wasn't in good shape and its movement speed was highly restricted due to heavy injuries.

He was sure that if he conjured a fireball with around 400-500 mana points he could disable or even kill it. But the same was not true for the panther as he knew he couldn't hit it before it dodged his attack.

Chapter 27 Fighting Silver Wolf (3)

Butler George, who had seen Max killing one-starred beasts with a single attack, didn't hesitate after hearing him and changed the target. He knew that this was the best solution to this situation.

He could see although, Max had a strong attack power but his control over it or his movement speed were not any outstanding. He would only be able to kill the injured silver wolf with his strong firepower while he dealt with the Panther.

Although Butler George was also injured and his left hand was no longer usable. As an experienced two-star mage, he could still stall for some time or possibly defeat the Panther as it was a normal two starred beasts and was not as strong as the silver wolf.

Butler George casted his spell and the rain of mana Spears rained down on the panther. The panther evaded most of the swords but some still struck it and injured it a little. The Panther stopped pursuing Max, its predatory eyes focused on Butler George.

...

Just as he the silver wolf saw them changing enemies, its eyes burned with fury. These tiny humans were mocking him by swapping positions mid-fight in front of him. How can it endure the humiliation to being underestimated?

The silver wolf's claw started to glow in white light and it swiped it in Max's direction.

Max felt the air turn heavy around him and his expression turned even more serious. He casted a [ Fireball ] using 200 mana points and sent it toward the incoming claw. While he put some distance between himself and the wolf. His target only needed to be in 20 meter range for him to successfully hit his target.

Booom!

An Explosion resounded and the earth had a slight tremble under his feet. Max focused his attention on the silver wolf.

'From the intensity of the explosion, its claw should be crippled right?' Max thought while he tried to cast a fireball with 400 mana but to his dismay, he couldn't do it.

"Mm?"

Growl~

Just when he was thinking about why he wasn't able to cast a powerful fireball, a growl filled with pain and fury reached his ears.

He looked at the wolf. Its front paw which he used to strike the 'almighty' [ Fireball ] was bleeding profusely and its sharp long nails, and fur was burned and flesh was visible in between burn marks.

"Oh! It seems my fireball is effective even against you." Max chuckled and conjured another fireball. This time he consumed 300 mana points which he was able to do it with ease.

A big crimson fireball, one-meter diameter in size appeared in front of him. His face lost all his colour as he consumed most of his mana and stamina with this attack but his eyes flashed with a hint of madness. If he doesn't kill it, it will kill him.

Finally, The silver wolf's eyes showed traces of fear. That previous human was barely able to inflict injuries on it with his powerful attacks but this human did it with his first attack. It hesitated whether to continue fighting or flee. Unfortunately, Its hesitation became the cause of its doom.

The reason Max's [ Fireball ] was so strong and could injure a beasts like silver wolf who was a peak two starred beast and had high magic defence, was because his fireball attack was not normal attack. It was a fire elemental attack.

Elemental attacks are many times stronger than ordinary attacks. While fire's basic nature is destruction and when Max injects his elemental mana into the fireball and makes it rotate at high speeds, it acts like a bomb that explodes upon contact and burns everything to cinders.

"Go and explode!"

Max shouted and The fireball was shot out like a cannonball which struck it on its head. Max had consumed a few more mana points to forcibly increase its speed so that the silver wolf can't dodge it.

Silver wolf came out of its reverie when it heard Max's yell but it was too late and it could only raise its injured claws to defend itself. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

BOOOM~

Howl~

The silver wolf howled in pain. With a loud explosion wolf's forelegs vaporized in the extreme heat of the explosion, its thick skin around the neck area was charred black. Its skull was bleeding. It lay on the ground yelping and howling in pain.

Max ignored this and walked forward. He stopped when he was five meters from the wolf. He raised his hand and summoned another fireball but this one was one third the size of the previous one.

"Explode!"

He swiped his hand down and the fireball landed squarely on the wolf's head and exploded.

Silver Wolf's thick skull was pulverized when the fireball exploded on it without any resistance.

...

"Haah!"

Seeing that wolf was finally dead Max breathed heavily. He then opened his status screen to check how many mana and stamina points he still has.

He then glanced at the butler George and panther fighting. George wasn't in any disadvantageous position thus, Max looked toward the remaining one started beasts who were trying to break into the room where Lilly took his stepmothers and sisters in law.

He tried to walk in that direction but staggered and almost fell on the ground.

"Aaii...! I'll have to improve my stamina basic attributes otherwise even with enough mana I won't be able to fight properly." He concluded. His legs were shaking and his breathing was rough. His body was feeling stiff and was aching all over.

He staggeringly walked toward them when he was almost twenty meters away he squeezed out last every last bit of his mana and casted another fireball amidst them.

Boom!

An explosion occurred and before he could see the result of his attack, he lost consciousness because his current weak body couldn't handle all the stress and complete consumption of his stamina and mana.

Before losing consciousness he heard "You did well son!.

When Max regained his consciousness, he was lying on his bed. His first thought was to see what had happened and if everyone was fine.

He looked around and saw Lilly sitting on a sofa on the right side of the bed, her eyes closed and chest heaving up and down evenly. He sighed in relief seeing her safe.

Max got out of the bed and approached her with light footsteps so as not to wake her. He leaned down and gently put one of his arms below her knees and one arm under her neck and lifted her up and took her to the bed.

He gently laid her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Feeling the comfort of the soft bed, Her expression visibly changed and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"It seems I was out for quite a while." He murmured and stretched his body. He then opened his status screen.

After sleeping for what seemed a full day and night, his mana and stamina were restored.

"Huh?"

Max frowned when he noticed his vitality points were only 8 now. He then recalled the system warning he got when he increased his mana by almost a thousand points.

"Can't I see what was that message now?" He wondered aloud and suddenly another window popped out which had all the previous notifications and messages.

"Oh! Nice. I just need to think about it just like the status window. It's very convenient. Let's see what was that warning." Max exclaimed in surprise when the notification window appeared and proceeded to check the warning.

[ Ding. Warning! The host has exceeded the 1000 mana points threshold. The host's body can't bear that much mana. The host will lose 2 vitality points per day. The host is advised to form his mana core to avoid eventual death. ]

'Hmm, It seems my body isn't able to hold this much mana by itself and needs a mana core.' He mused.

When you becomes a one-star mage, your body reaches its limit to hold mana inside it that is 500 mana units in normal cases but to become a two-star mage or stronger, you have to increase your mana and to do that you have to form a mana core inside their body which works as a container of mana.

If you can form a mana core in your body successfully, You have chance to become stronger if not you can only remain a one star mage for the rest of your life and if you forcefully increase your mana in your body same as Max did, your mana will start to corrode your body from inside out and you will gradually lose your vitality which will result in your death.

Mana cores are also divided based on concentration of mana in it which indicate your mage level.

For example, when you form your mana core it's colourless which indicate that you are still a one star mage who can cultivate or mediate to refine more worldly mana into your own and store it in your mana core.

When you have accumulated a thousand or more mana units, your mana core turns red. As you more refine and purify mana and increase mana count, the concentration in your mana increases and when your mana surpasses the minimum threshold to become a three star mage, it turns orange and as your mana count, mana concentration and purity increases its colour gradually change.

Mana core, apart from giving the capacity to hold much more mana also provides easy access to your own mana which lessened the consumption of mental strength and made it easy to control inside your body because when you have yet to form a mana core, the mana is scattered in your body which is obviously harder to control but when you have formed a mana core your mana has a fixed place to stay which is much easier to control.

'I need to find my father to know about the situation of the beast tide and to ask how to form a mana core or I would only survive for four more days at this rate.' Max decided. He first wanted to know that he and his family members were safe.

Although he didn't care about others apart from his father, he still didn't want something to happen to his family especially Esther and Amelia who were the mothers of Emily and Anna respectively.

'I wonder if Amelia is alright.' Max suddenly remembered that Amelia was injured when he reached there to help them.

He then went out to look for his father to know the current situation.

...

He walked the hallway looking around. Many were working in the manor to rebuild and renovate the destroyed parts of the manor.

He quickly arrived at his father's study where he usually could be found. But today he wasn't there. He was wondering where he was when he saw Esther who was directing workers.

He went toward her. She also noticed him coming toward her. There was a slight change in her cold attitude when she looked at him.

Max walked to her and greeted her casually "Hello Esther, I was wondering where is my father. I couldn't find him in his study."

When heard him calling her by her name, she raised an eyebrow at him but didn't say anything about it and answered "Your father went to the city to report the situation to Count Wiley and request for a team to hunt three-starred beasts."

"Oh! Okay." Max nodded and turned to walk away when he remembered that she was also a two-star Mage.

Chapter 29 Forming Mana Core (2)

"Um... Esther, Can you help me with something?" Max asked while looking at her cold but beautiful face.

"Yes, although I don't know if I can... because you are almost as strong as me." She smiled faintly and replied but now her voice had a tinge of teasing that he didn't expect from this cold and indifferent mature beauty.

He looked at her slightly smiling face, mesmerised. He didn't utter a single word and just stared at her face and unconsciously blurted out "You are very beautiful when you smile."

Esther was taken aback. She didn't expect to receive a compliment from the boy who never spoke to anyone more than a few words but when she recalled how he has changed in a couple of days and even become powerful, It seems his character has also changed for the better.

She didn't say anything in response to his compliment and just looked at him with indifference but when he didn't say for a while and just stared at her, she was a little irritated.

"What did you want my help with? are you going to tell me Or are you gonna just stare at me like this?" She said a little annoyed but there was no anger in her voice.

"Oh, yes. I was wondering if you could help me to form my mana core. I don't know anything about it. I was going to ask father but he isn't here." He said.

"Oh, mana core? You haven't formed one yet. Then how did you able to cast such powerful attacks? I thought you already had become a two-star mage." Esther frowned her eyebrows.

Max was silent thinking about how should he explain the situation. He could not simply say that it was because of his system. After thinking for a while he smiled and said.

"No. I still haven't become a two-star mage. Yesterday when I saw you guys in danger I used some secret method that increased my mana to the level of a two-star mage. But the consequence of it was something I didn't expect. I have to form a mana core as soon as possible or according to my calculations, I will only survive four more days."

When Max started to explain, Esther nodded her head as if she had expected it but when he continued and finished his explanation her expression was hard to describe.

Her cold and indifferent face had a look of disbelief and her beautiful black eyes were laced with worry that even she did not know. It was not like she cared for him too much but after the experience, they went through and he saved them by risking his life she started to care for him.

But after hearing that to save them he had to pay such a great price she couldn't help but feel touched while she became worried. She didn't want something bad to happen to him because her daughter Emily cared a lot for him and he now had a place in her heart as her saviour.

She didn't say anything and her expression returned to normal in just an instant. She said "Okay I'll help you. Come with me." Saying this she walked toward the library which fortunately wasn't destroyed.

When they both reached the library she went in and after a few minutes came out with a scroll in her hand. She threw it at him and said "Here, In this scroll, you'll find everything you need. If you need anything you can just come to me."

She then turned to walk away when Max again stopped her.

"Thanks, Esther. I want to know something can you tell me?" Max thanked her and asked.

"Yes ask." She replied in an indifferent voice.

"What happened after I passed out yesterday?" He was curious to know what happened and if everything was alright.

She thought for a second and said "Your father was able to repel that three-star beast and when you fell unconscious he arrived and killed the remaining beasts and saved us."

She then paused, her expression became solemn and continued "Butler George was severely injured so your father took him to the city to heal and Amelia was also injured but fortunately her situation was not too serious, she is recovering now. As for beast tide..."

...

Max walked around looking at the people working to reconstruct the manor. He was in deep thought after hearing everything from Esther.

In this beast tide, tens of thousands of common people died. This situation was not only in the Claymore town but in all the towns and villages neighbouring The magical beast forest. Many mages died, just in their manor around seventy percent of Knights and guards were killed. In fact, Claymore town was well off compared to other villages and towns where almost all people were killed and very few survived.

Ads by Pubfuture

And even though His father was able to repel the three starred beast he couldn't kill it and from all the information they got, it seemed that the three started beasts also appeared in other towns.

That was why all the people in charge of these towns were summoned to report the situation and form a team to hunt all the three-starred beasts to avoid this from happening in the future.

Sigh!

Max sighed 'This world may be different but people don't have an easy life here. Just as people who are poor live miserable life on Earth, people here who are not strong enough are also under constant threat of death.'

Today beast outbreak killed them. Tomorrow, some kingdom might wage war on their kingdom or some mage might go on a rampage where many will die again.

Max shook his head to clear the disturbing thoughts. 'I just have to become strong enough to face every and any situation if I want to live a happy life.'

He clenched the scroll in his hand and went to his room. He first has to form his mana core and fortunately, he has a system that makes it easier to become strong.

Chapter 30 Forming Mana Core (3)

When he came back to his room, Lilly was awake and it seemed that she had just taken a bath. Her hair flowing black hair was wet and her fresh fragrance still lingered in the air. She wore her black and white maid dress. But even that couldn't hide her beauty. For a sec Max wanted to jump on her but he restrained himself.

He went to her and after giving a kiss on her red lips he said "I'm going to try to form my mana core. So don't disturb me for the time being and if someone comes then tell them that I'm busy right now okay."

"Mhm okay, young- Okay." Lilly nodded and smiled sweetly and was about to address him as young master when she remembered that he wanted her not to call him that when they were alone.

Max smiled and sat down on the bed. He then opened the scroll and placed it in front of him.

On top of the scroll "MANA CORE FORMATION" was written in very eye-catching bold words.

Max started reading the instructions on the scroll 'To form your mana core you have to move your mana toward the navel in your torso where dantian is located. You have to purify and compress it several times using the method below to ensure the safe formation of a good mana core...' 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹．𝐨𝐫𝗴

He then read the method to form mana core although it was quite complicated and had many steps involved, he memorised it just after reading it two times due to his high intelligence points.

He then followed the instructions written in the scroll and started to control his mana and direct it toward his navel area. After he had gathered enough mana in his dantian he started to compress it. After several times of compression, Mana in his dantian occupied a lot less space was purer than before as impurities were extracted and expelled.

Then he directed more of his mana to go into his dantian and compressed it again and again. He did this until his mana was entirely spent and his dantian was now filled with incomparably pure mana which was now in between mist and liquid-like state.

He then took a deep breath and focused all his mental power in his dantian and started to compress and move according to the instructions. This was the final and most difficult part of the process.

After ten minutes, he started to sweat. Small beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. After thirty minutes his clothes were soaked in sweat. His face was contorted as if he was in pain. His breathing intensified as if he was doing some rigorous task.

Lilly who was watching him silently, sitting on the sofa grew anxious to see him sweat this much and his handsome face contort in pain. Her heart felt as if it was struck with some sharp needle.

'What is he doing that is causing him so much pain?' She thought and unconsciously stood up but when she remembered his order from before, she sat down again with a bitter and pained expression on her face.

She didn't want to disobey him fearing that he would not like it but at the same time, she couldn't see him suffering like this.

After ten more minutes, his expression didn't change and become even more contorted. She couldn't help and walked towards him slowly so as not to make any sound.

She took out her handkerchief and gently wiped his forehead and face. She then looked at him to see if he was disturbed but fortunately, he was too focused so he didn't notice.

While Lilly wiped his sweat, her gaze landed on the scroll in front of him.

'Mana core formation. So young master is forming his mana core. Doesn't that mean he is now a two-star mage?' She thought. She was surprised but not too surprised. She had already seen him miraculously becoming strong and the day before yesterday when he again showed his strength she was surprised to see his strength increase once again.

'How did young master become so strong?' She wondered and suddenly a thought crossed her mind which made her blush.

...

After ten more minutes, his expression became normal and his breathing also become steady. Lilly sighed a sigh of relief.

When Max opened his eyes, he had a smile on his face. He then noticed Lilly standing by his bedside with a handkerchief in her hand.

He quickly understood what she had been doing after realising that his face and forehead didn't have any sweat but the rest of his body was completely wet in sweat.

"Thank you Lilly!" He said with a charming smile on his face. Although he knew that she loved him, he was very touched when he saw that she cared for him a lot. In his previous life, he couldn't have imagined that he would get a woman who loved and cared for him.

On earth, relationships are very fragile and most of the time Man and Woman don't love each other but still form a romantic relationship. They just need each other for their needs. Love and Care as Lilly has for him, It is very rare to be found.

Lilly stared at his beautiful smile in a daze. She even forget to ask if he was okay. When she realised what she was doing, her face turned red like a tomato.

"It's my d-duty young master." She hurriedly said.

Max outstretched his right hand and grabbed her thin waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Chapter 31 Confession

"Ahhh~"

Lilly let out a surprised yelp but didn't resist. Max held her in his chest for a few seconds. He then cupped her face gently and looked into her eyes.

"I love you, Lilly." He confessed. Lilly had a very shocked expression on her face. She didn't expect him to confess to her, a lowly maid.

A moment later her eyes were filled with tears. She was happy. She knew that she loved him and also cared for her and she could feel that after he woke up from the coma he was attracted to her and that was the reason she gave him her body. She was happy when he didn't reject and actively sought her even if it were only to satisfy his lust.

"Do you love me?" He asked wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mhm... Y-Yes... Yes, I do." She hurriedly nodded.

"Good. From now on you'll call me Max when we are alone okay. And soon enough I'll give you the status you deserved." He said looking into her eyes.

Surprisingly, Lilly shook her head. "No Y- Max, it's okay. If you want to give the status do it after I also have become strong. That way I won't feel that I'm unworthy to be by your side."

Max looked at her incredulously. After thinking for a bit about it, he understood her thoughts. Although she also loved him and wanted to be with him and she was very happy to hear that he wanted to marry her but at the same time, she also felt that if she did marry him now. Everyone especially his family members would not approve of him marrying a lowly maid.

Even more, now that they knew that he was no longer the same as before and was becoming a powerful mage after his show of strength in the beast tide. She would also not feel good when others pointed at her. So, she wanted to become strong, strong enough to be worthy of becoming his wife.

This was easier now as after the beast tide incident everyone knew about her strength and that she was also a novice mage. You can say that the beast tide was advantageous to her in this way. She didn't have to explain anything to anyone or more like, they didn't have time to question her.

Max Knew what she was thinking but he thought that she was downplaying herself so he said "You don't have to think like that. You are a very strong and talented girl. You already are a novice mage and soon would be a one-star mage. And most importantly you have also awakened your ice element, all that you've achieved without anyone's help. You..."

Max was interrupted by her mid-speech "No young... No Max please allow me to do it." She insisted.

Max shook his head inwardly at her unusual stubborn behaviour. He could only sigh at this "Okay we will do as you say."

Lilly smiled hearing this and didn't say anything.

"Okay let me take a bath. I've sweated a lot just now." Max let go of her and stood up to go to the bathroom.

Watching him stand up and go toward the bathroom Lilly hesitated for a moment but finally asked in a low voice while looking down "M-Max can I ask you something?" Her voice was soft to the point where if he wasn't close to her and there was silence in the room, Max wouldn't have heard it.

He turned to look at her and said "Yeah sure. Ask away." He became curious as this was the first time Lilly was asking him something.

"W-What will be my sta-status when we marry?" She asked. From her stammering voice, it was clear that she was very anxious about it.

"What do you mean? Won't you be my wife then?" Max asked, puzzled.

Lilly looked at him for a moment, speechless. When she remembered that after he woke up from his coma, he seemed to have forgotten everything. She explained "As a noble and given that you've become a two-star mage in such a short time, you will most likely become even stronger, you can marry many women but not all can have the status to be the main wife. There can only be one wife, the rest of them will have the status of concubine."

Max now understood this. He curiously asked, "Who is the main wife of my father?"

Lilly was taken aback by his question but she answered "From what I heard, It was Lady Hannah, your mother."

Max nodded hearing this. He didn't even know why he asked this question. He then looked at her and said 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You'll still be my wife. So don't underestimate yourself and from this moment onwards you are no longer a maid but my girlfriend. So dress like one." His voice was a bit authoritative, so Lilly unconsciously nodded her head.

He went to the bathroom after finishing his sentence.

Lilly sat there on the bed, her expression frozen. After a while, her expression became cheerful like a little girl who finally has her wish granted.

"I'll be his main wife..." She muttered with a dreamy look on her face.

...

After a while, Max came out in his bathrobe. He saw that Lilly was lying on the bed, her body was covered with the silky white blanket.

"Are you sleeping..." Max didn't continue his sentence when he noticed her dress lying on the floor beside the bed. His eyes blazed with lust and his little brother became hard after realising what this situation meant.

Lilly looked at him with love-filled eyes. After hearing his words earlier, she decided to please him as it has been a few days since they had sex.

Max reached the bed and slowly pulled down the blanket revealing her flawless body. Lilly covered her breasts with one hand and her sacred area with another. Her legs clenched tight.

Chapter 32 Lilly Choking On...

Max took off his bathrobe and sat beside her waist. He then leaned down for a kiss. Lilly also opened her mouth a little and welcomed his kiss.

Their lips attached as they kissed. A normal kiss turned into a passionate one in just a moment.

Lilly had her eyes closed and her soft and unblemished cheeks had a pinkish hue. Her tongue was intertwined with Max's while her soft lips were dominated by Max.

Max who had kissed her many times before couldn't help but be drawn in by her sweet soft lips and her delicious little tongue. He started to kiss her forcefully on her lips leaving them red.

His desire for her body had gone into his head, he reluctantly broke the kiss and removed her hand with a little force and kissed her pink buds one by one. He grabbed her boobs which were not too large and not too small with his hands and started to knead them, caress them his tongue wrapped around her right nipple and he played with it with his tongue.

Lilly's breathing was rougher now. She unconsciously grabbed his head and force him into her chest. She moaned when he massaged her breasts and licked her nipples.

"Ah...ahh...umm..."

She let out a few moans of pleasure. She firmly closed her eyes and felt the pleasure coursing through her breasts to her whole body.

Ads by Pubfuture

Her pussy was slightly wet now. She opened her tightly closed legs and removed her hand which was covering her pussy.

Max while licking and rubbing her breasts noticed this and a smile appeared on his face. He sucked on her nipples hard and kneaded her soft and fluffy breasts more roughly causing her to moan louder.

He then slowly caressed her belly with his right hand and slowly made its way toward her little sister. When he put his fingers on her vertical lips, his fingers became wet in seconds. He rubbed her outer labia with his index and middle fingers.

"Umm...Hnngg...ohh..."

Her moans intensified. Her pussy became even wetter. Hearing her sensual cries, his already bulging dick threatened to explode. He moved down her body kissing her breasts, belly and tower torso. When he was about to kiss her clit Lilly stopped him.

"Wait M-Max..." Lilly suddenly said.

"Mm? Do you not like it?" He asked with a little frown on his face. He remembered clearly when he did this last time she very much liked it.

Hearing his question, Lilly's face was now beet red.

She looked away and said "No, i-it's not that. I like it but t-today I want to p-pleasure you."

"Ohh?" Max was stunned but quickly a lustful smile appeared on his lips.

He sat down on the bed with his legs on the sides and his bulging cock in front of her.

He then pointed to his cock and said with a mischievous smile "If that's the case, why don't you do it what it did with you last time."

Lilly nodded surprising him greatly. He didn't expect this considering how bashful she was. But what he didn't know was that Lilly really wanted to please him.

She was really happy after his confession. When he went to take a bath she had decided to please him and make him happy and when she remembered that he was the one who always tried to pleasure her, she decided to do something which according to her would please him.

She slowly approached him and leaned down between his legs, her boobs swaying as he crouched down. She reached out her small hand and grabbed his cock and started moving her hand up and down.

"Ohhh!" When Max felt her soft hand on his dick, he felt really good. He smiled as she clumsily tried to stroke his dick.

"If you make it wet and do it, that will feel even better," Max whispered in her ear.

"H-How can I make it wet?" Lilly asked, flustered.

"Use your mouth and suck on it as if it's a lollipop." He nudged.

She hesitated a little after hearing this but soon brought her mouth close to his cock and opened her sexy red lips and kissed the tip of it.

Max felt an electric current flow into his cock when her soft lips kissed his cock. He closed his eyes to enjoy the sensation. This was a completely new feeling.

Lilly started to lick the tip slowly. She felt the taste of it was weird but was not something unpleasant so she continued moving her little pink tongue across the tip of his dick.

She then opened her mouth wide and put it in. Her tongue was moving and sucking on the glans. A little less than half of his cock was in her mouth.

"Ohhh...That's it. Continue doing it. Don't let your teeth touch it." Max grabbed her hand by one hand and guided her to move her head up and down.

She instinctively understood it and started moving her mouth up and down while sucking on his dick. Her tongue was sometimes licking glans and sometimes was licking under his shaft.

"Ohh Lilly you are doing a good job. Ahhh! Try putting it a little deeper in your mouth." Max groaned in pleasure and pushed his dick more than half inside her mouth. It was almost touching her throat.

"Mmm... wfff...mmff..."

Lilly almost choked on his big cock. She hurriedly moved her mouth away and took it out of her mouth.

"Cough! cough! Huff...huff..." She coughed and breathed heavily. Her saliva dripped down her lips uncontrollably. Her eyes had tears.

Max looked at her coughing wildly and his expression changed. He apologised, his voice laced with panic and concern "I'm sorry Lilly. I got too excited. Are you alright?"

After taking a few deep breaths she calmed down. "Mhm... I'm alright. I'm just glad you liked it." She smiled sweetly.

Chapter 33 How About Round 2?

Max looked at her coughing wildly and his expression changed. He apologised, his voice laced with panic and concern "I'm sorry Lilly. I got too excited. Are you alright?"

After taking a few deep breaths she calmed down. "Mhm... I'm alright. I'm just glad you liked it." She smiled sweetly.

Seeing her satisfied expression Max sighed in his heart and vowed to always keep her happy.

"It's good. Now lie down." He smiled and pushed her down. He opened her legs to see her wet pussy. Her love juice was dripping down.

Max rubbed his cock on her clit a few times which made her moan like crazy. She got a lot of stimulation from it.

He then gently pushed the tip of his cock inside her wet vagina.

"Ahh...mhm...!"

Lilly let out a few moans, feeling him enter her body. She grabbed the bedsheet to prepare for what was coming.

Not disappointing her, With a strong thrust, Max went all the way inside her pussy. His dick hitting her cervix.

"Ahhh...haah...haaa...angh...!"

Lilly moaned loudly. She could feel his big and thick cock reaching her deepest part which gave her a lot of pleasure mixed with a little bit of pain.

"Ohhh...! You feel very good Lilly." Max also felt the heavenly sensation of his dick Piercing her vagina. Even though they had done it many times before, every time it felt like he was doing it with her for the first time.

"Yes, Young master you feel good too inside of me. I like it." She unconsciously blurted out. When she realised what she had said she closed her eyes and covered her face in panic.

Max chuckled seeing her act like this. He moved her hands away and kissed her on her soft sweet lips. And whispered "I feel even better after hearing that you also like it. So don't feel shy. You are my woman and say whatever you feel like in front of me okay!"

"Mhm...Yes, I'm your woman." She mumbled in a very low voice. Max could only see her lips moving slightly. He ignored it and put his hands under her perky hips and lifted her slightly above the bed.

Here I come. He said in his mind and started a pistoning motion. With every thrust, Lilly moaned and he felt that heavenly feeling in his body.

Thwop! Thwop!

He closed his eyes and continue doing it. Only Lilly's moans and the sounds of their flesh slapping each other could be heard.

... 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As they enjoyed themselves, someone was standing outside his room listening to the lewd sounds they were making.

It was Eva. His sister in law who was standing there with a plate of food in her hands.

After witnessing his strength, she was very impressed. Her husband, William, wasn't as impressive as him and on top of that, he kept mocking him.

So she came to apologise on his behalf and to thank him for saving them from the beasts. But she didn't expect him to be having sex in the broad day.

Initially, she wanted to go back and come later but hearing the girl's loud, pleasure-filled moaning, she grew curious and wanted to peek inside but unfortunately, the door was shut tight and she didn't want to be caught peeking at them.

Therefore, she stood there listening to their lovemaking sounds and the place between her place started to tingle.

She hurriedly went back to her room and muttered under her breath "He seems to be more capable than William."

...

Max put Lilly down and again grabbed her by her waist and neck and made her sit on his lap with his dick still inside her.

Lilly was surprised by his sudden action but she let him do whatever he wanted.

"Let's see how you taste in this position," Max mumbled and started moving her willowy body up and down.

He looked at Lilly's face. She had an ecstatic expression which showed how good she was feeling now. Max got even more excited by her expression and moved her body even faster.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Her moans sounded in the room more frequently. After a few minutes Lilly gripped his back, her nails dug into his skin and shouted while her eyes glazed over.

"It's coming...It's coming..."

Max instantly knew what she meant after doing it with her many times. He who has been holding back and also cummed inside her. They both had orgasms simultaneously. After a few seconds, they collapsed on the bed while embracing each other.

He collapse beside her and his cock came out of her pussy as he moved beside her. The mixture of their love juices flowed out but none of them cared. They both panted like wild dogs.

[ Ding. +1000 Lust points. ]

Max heard the system notification but ignored it.

After calming their agitated breathing and their racing hearts, they looked into the eyes of each other. They could see love, affection, joy, lust and happiness.

"Did you like it?" Max asked while he fixed her stray hair behind her ear.

"Yes, I liked it. I love doing everything if it's you." She said as a matter of factly, Without looking away this time. But her face betrayed her emotions.

Max smiled while looking at her blushing face and hugged her again into his chest and said which made her smile again "Me too."

She then bobbed out her head and asked while smiling happily "Did you like it?"

Max smiled wryly, he just said so but she wants to hear it again. He then said as he moved his finger on her cheek lightly "Yes, I loved it even more than before."

"Hehe~" Lilly smiled like a spoiled brat.

"I see that you are getting naughty." Max smiled as he pinched her little nose.

"Hehe, You don't like me being naughty?" She asked with a cute expression.

"Yes, I like you being naughty even more." Max said smiling. He was genuinely happy that she was more open with him unlike before when she considered her as his subordinate and act in a very reserved manner.

He then suddenly smiled mischievously and said "How about round two?"

Chapter 34 Interruption

"How about round two?"

Max had just spoken when someone knocked on the door.

Max looked at the Lilly whose face now had a hint of panic. "What should we do? We will get caught." Lilly said in panic.

Max shook his head and smiled at her "What's there to be afraid of? Aren't you already my woman? So what if we get intimate with each other and others find out."

Max then said "I'll handle it. You should go and take a bath and clean yourself." Although he didn't care if others find out about their relationship, he knew that Lilly would not have a easy time when he is not with her. This was also one of the reasons why Lilly rejected his proposal.

Lilly was a bit embarrassed hearing this. As she looked at herself, she was also sweating a lot and her lower area was stained with their juices. She took her clothes and ran toward the bathroom without looking at him in the eye.

Max smiled and shook his head inwardly seeing her feel embarrassed about these little things even after all that they had done. 'It's true that girls are strange creatures.' He thought.

He put on his bathrobe which didn't do well to cover the tent his half erect penis was making on the bathrobe. He didn't think much about it and went to open the door. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

As He opened the door and he couldn't help but be surprised a little seeing Esther on his door. He didn't expect her of all the family members to come looking for him.

Esther, who was standing at the door looked at Max when he opened the door. He was was in his bathrobe so she guessed that he might have just come out of the bathroom but when she noticed that he was sweating and had a boner she raised her brows and felt that this was a little odd.

Although she tried to hide her expression, Max managed to catch it from her eyes that she was wondering what he was doing but he didn't say anything about it.

He instead asked with a smile "What is it Esther? Do you need something?"

Esther frowned "Isn't that a little strange to address me by my name?"

"What's strange about it? If you don't like it, then tell me how should I address you." Max said nonchalantly. He called her by her name because he didn't want to call her mother or stepmother and the second reason was that even though she was in her thirties and was a matured woman, she was also a beauty who looked as if she was barely in her mid twenties. He would feel strange if called her something like stepmother.

Esther shook her head helplessly and said in a cold voice "It's fine. You can call me whatever you want. I came here to check up on you in case you need my help. As your father isn't here, I thought I'd help you in case something goes wrong and your father blames me for it as I gave you that scroll."

Max looked her in the eyes and could see that despite her cold tone, she had a little concern for him in her eyes. He just didn't know why this was so as he never had any interactions with her and from Lilly he knew that his past self was not any close with her.

He didn't think much about it and waved his hand and said "Thank you for your concern but I've already formed my mana core. I just need to reinforce it for a few weeks."

When he formed his mana core he got a system massage indicating his success in forming mana core and that he needed to reinforce his mana core for a few a weeks, so that when he increased his mana points using lust points, it would not cause any problems because this was not done by him but system. Until then he couldn't increase his mana stat.

"You- you already formed your mana core?" Esther looked at him, dumbfounded.

Was it this easy and fast to form a mana core? As far as she knew, normally it would take a full day to form it while some talented ones could do it in half a day. But he was here telling her that he did it in little more than two hours. How can she not find it incredulous?

"You are joking right? There's no way you can do it in such a short time. Tell me check it." She didn't believe him and extended her delicate hand to touch his stomach as she sent her mana inside carefully to check whether he really have a mana core or not.

After a moment, her expression was replaced with one of amazement and then disbelief.

"You really... really did have it." She mumbled in a low voice while looking at him as if he was a monster.

Max smiled and didn't speak. He took a step forward and leaned his face toward her and whispered in her ear "You know, it's not good for a woman to touch a man out of nowhere right? Especially when it's a beautiful woman like you. Any man would lose control."

Hearing this, her figure stiffened for a moment when she realised what she did just now. She hurriedly stepped back and when she looked again at him, she noticed that his boner which was supposed to go down was flaring up again.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. I just find it incredible that you could form your mana core in such a short time." She then continued "Congratulations, it seems your talent is quite outstanding. Your father would be very happy to hear it" Esther said without showing any emotion on her face. Her previous surprised was nowhere to be seen.

Max smiled awkwardly. He just nodded at her. He wasn't sure how to respond to her. As he just had sex with Lilly and his dick was still excited and he was trying suppress his desire, but when she without any warning touched him just above his bulging cock, he couldn't control himself and almost kissed her. Fortunately, she didn't seem to care much about it.

"Try to strengthen your mana core as much as you can now, as it will be very beneficial in the future." She completed her sentence, turned around and simply left.

Max stood there looking at her swaying back in a trance, breathing her lingering scent. He then murmured in a low voice "That's one strange woman."

Chapter 35 Wonder Of Magic

After Esther went back, he also closed the door and went inside. He wasn't satisfied yet and wanted to continue having sex with Lilly.

But he didn't find her in his room, he then remembered that she was in the bathroom. He thought to have bathroom sex with her but decided against it.

"I should let her have a peaceful bath." He then approached the bed which still has their erotic scent and the bed sheet was wet in their juices. He removed the bedsheet and lay down on it.

"Let's check status window until Lilly comes back." With a thought his status screen appeared in front of him.

[ Name: Maxwell Garfield ]

[ Age: 18 ]

[ Strength: 10 ]

[ Agility: 10 ]

[ Stamina: 8/10 ]

Ads by Pubfuture

[ Vitality: 8 ]

[ Intelligence: 15 ]

[ Mana: 10/1331 ]

[ Element: Fire ]

[ Lust Points: 1000 ]

He noticed that his vitality was 8 now and mana was 10, this was because he had exhausted all of his mana to form his mana core and only 10 units was recovered. As for his stamina which was also 8 now, that was because of his hard work with Lilly. Stamina was also like mana that can recovered own its own but his vitality was permanently decreased by two stat points.

"What is this?" Max muttered in confusion.

The reason of his confusion was that his Lust points were only one thousand even after a session of sex with Lilly. Although he would always get only one thousand Lust points after he had sex with Lilly, he would always get a couple hundred lust points for kissing and other stuff but this time he only had a total of one thousand.

"Is it because I had sex many times with her? No it shouldn't be." Max immediately discarded the idea. He then proceeded to check recent system notifications.

"So this is the case." After looking at all the notifications he understood what was the problem.

'It seems after I formed my mana core and officially stepped into the two-star mage realm, The lust points I used to get from Lilly lessened. is it because of the difference between our strengths?' He mused.

He wasn't sure but he knew that this started happening after he had formed his mana core. Because before he started to form his mana core, he kissed Lilly and then he got 5 lust points from that kiss. But after he had formed his mana core he only got 4 points from the kisses and only 800 from sex.

"It doesn't matter. If I need more LPs I can just have more sex with her and it isn't like she would always be a novice mage given her talent." Max shook his head. That was right, he could just have as much sex he wanted with Lilly as she also seemed to like it.

"But I don't need many LPs for now. I can only increase my attribute stat for the time being and not Mana stat because I still have reinforce my mana core and make it more stronger." System wanted to reinforce his mana core so that it would be able to endure the sudden and unnatural boost when he, in future, increased his mana stat.

"Let's see which attribute should I increase?" Max thought for a second and then put his lust points in vitality and stamina. But he was surprised to see that, to increase his vitality to 10 he had to spend 200 LPs unlike before when he was able to do it in 10 LPs for one stat point.

Nevertheless he raised his vitality to 13 and stamina to 15 spending all his LPs. The reason why he raised his Vitality and Stamina stat and not others was simple. He needed to have a strong vitality if wanted his body to improve and to be able to keep up with his increasing lust. As for stamina, he didn't want to get exhausted to the point of passing out after fighting or doing some hard work.

"It's better now." He nodded in satisfaction. He could feel changes in his body after he raised his stamina and vitality stats.

He wasn't exhausted as much as he was a moment ago and his handsome face also regained its healthy glow. He could also feel his body condition improve slightly, even though he was still skinny but was slightly better than before.

'I need to have some flesh on my bones or I don't think any other girl apart from Lilly would be interested in the skinny me.' He thought. Yes, he was very handsome and his blue hair and Sapphire eyes made him look even more attractive but that's not all a girl would want in their boyfriend. This is what he thought and he was right to some extent.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Lilly came out of the bathroom, again dressed in her maid clothes.

By now his lust has also calmed down. So he didn't pushed her down on the bed looked at her and said "Lilly, give me something to wear. We are going to the town market to do buy some stuff."

"Yes, M- Max." She addressed his by his name. It didn't come as natural as 'Young master' but Max didn't mind it and smiled "Good girl."

...

After getting dressed they came out together. While he was getting dressed he told Lilly to tell other maids to wash the bed sheets.

He took some gold and silver coins which his father had given him before in case he needed some money to spend.

They walked out of the manor and walked in the direction of town market which was also in the center of the town. They had to walk because every horse had been slaughtered by other beasts.

While they walked Max noticed that everyone was busy reconstructing damaged houses, shops, buildings etc. His manor was also mostly repaired in little more than 24 hours. The speed at which the workers do their job with their magic was really astounding. If it was on the earth, it would take a few weeks at the bare minimum.

Chapter 36 Shopping

On their way to the market, they could see that the atmosphere was not as gloomy as before. People had accepted the reality, but some still couldn't bear the deaths of their loved ones. Therefore occasionally, they could hear people crying and lamenting their losses. While others also wore sad expressions.

Max sighed in his heart. He was secretly glad that his family members, his father and Lilly, didn't get hurt in the beast tide.

He then looked at the Lilly. She was also glancing around. He was not sure what she was thinking.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the town market. Half of the shops were closed, and reconstruction was ongoing.

"What do you want to buy, Young master!" Lilly asked.

Max looked at her and rebuked, slightly displeased, "Didn't I tell you to call me by my name? Have you already forgotten?"

Lilly held her head down, seeing his slightly angry expression; she grew nervous and said weakly, "B- But there are people around us. How can I call you so casually?"

Hearing her reply, Max shook his head and said in a stern voice, "It doesn't matter as long as there are not any of my family members, and that is also until you aren't ready to tell them about our relationship. I don't want others to think of you as my servant because you no longer are. You are my lover, got it?" 𝚋𝚎𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

He didn't have any choice but to be a little strict with her if he wanted her to stop thinking that she wasn't worthy of being his wife/lover. He wanted her to stop behaving like she was just a servant, but it wouldn't be this easy as she had lived almost all of her life like that, and any change in her attitude would take time.

Lilly raised her head to look him into his Sapphire eyes and nodded. She knew what he meant, which is why she couldn't help but fall deeper into his love.

Seeing her looking at him with love-filled eyes, He chuckled lightly and said in a joking tone, "Wait till we go back home, and I'll give you a good treat." He winked and walked towards a clothing shop.

Lilly's beautiful face flushed red after understanding the meaning behind his words. She held her head down in embarrassment and followed him quietly. At this moment, she looked so adorable that if any man saw her, he definitely would be mesmerised by her beauty.

...

They entered a luxurious looking shop that had a good reputation. Of course, Max didn't know this. He randomly chose this one as it looked pretty good.

As Max and Lilly entered and a calm and professional voice reached their ears. "Welcome, valued customers. Please come this way." A middle-aged man came running towards them when he saw them entering the shop. By Luxurious robes of Max and the fact that he had a maid following him, the man understood that the handsome boy in front of him must be from some wealthy family.

Because Max rarely came out of his Palace, no one had seen him. So this was natural that the shopkeeper didn't recognise him. If there were another one of his siblings here instead of him, they would be recognised instantly as the son or daughter of Viscount Garfield. Max didn't bother making his identity known because he had money and could buy anything with it, so it was unnecessary to use his identity.

"Mhm..." Max nodded and followed him inside the shop. The man led them inside a luxurious room and gestured them to sit on chairs as he wore a businessman's smile and asked politely.

"Dear customer, what type of clothing would you like to buy?"

Max was satisfied by the behaviour of the shopkeeper. 'Fortunately, it didn't turn out like in the novels where MC would encounter problems no matter where he goes.' He sighed in relief and said, "Please show us some of your best dresses for this lady here." He pointed at Lilly.

The shopkeeper was surprised by this. He didn't expect him to buy the clothes for a maid from one of the most expensive shops in Claymore town. It was not only the shopkeeper who was surprised; Lilly was surprised too, but her surprise quickly turned into happiness, and a lovely smile appeared on her face as she looked at him.

Before, the shopkeeper could not see her as she had her face down. Now that Lilly looked at Max and smiled beautifully, the shopkeeper finally understood why he would do this for her. It must be because this maid was too beautiful, and it might be that he wanted to win her heart.

The shopkeeper nodded and went out to bring some dresses to show them.

He came back with many types of girl clothing hovering behind him. He pointed his finger at the table before them, and slowly all the dresses dropped on it.

"Dear customers, please take a look and see if any of these are to your liking?" The shopkeeper said as he gestured toward the table.

Max carefully observed him as he came with dresses flying behind him and wondered, 'How much control one would need to do something like this.' By now, he was utterly fascinated by the Magic. 'It seems I need to go to the magic academy if I want to improve myself in the way of the magic.'

After hearing him, Max looked at dresses and then looked at Lilly. "You can pick whichever dress you like." He didn't know about women's clothing, so he let her choose.

Lilly naturally didn't know it, and she looked at him for a moment and whispered, "Can you choose for me? I don't know how I would look in these."

Hearing this, Max shook his head and proceeded to pick a few dresses which he thought would look good on her.

"Please pack these for me and tell me how much should I pay?" He told the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was ecstatic to see that he had picked about ten very costly dresses.

"Yes, of course. These ten will cost you 120 gold in total." He said with a smile. He was barely able to control his excitement. After all, he would be getting a very generous share of this money as his commission for selling these.

Max nodded and took out a pouch that had his gold coins stored and paid him.

After that, they roamed around the market to see if there was anything worth buying. Lilly bought a few things, and just when they were going back, Max heard a merchant yelling.

"Young master, how about you check a few of my items. If there's anything you like I'll give you a 50% discount.

Chapter 37 Schwartz

Max was going to ignore him as he knew that the things you can get a discount on aren't usually good.

But as he glanced at the items on his stall, a fiery red ring caught his attention. This ring somehow gave him a bit familiar feeling. He walked up to his stall and pointed at the ring, "How about you tell me the uses of this ring, and I'll purchase it?"

The Merchant looked at him for a moment and smiled wryly. "Young master, This ring was found by someone who sold it to me at a low price. He told me that this was a magic item, but so far, no one had shown any interest in this ring. I'm only a minor merchant and don't have any knowledge about magical items. So, I apologise to you as I'm not sure of its uses."

Max looked at him and calmly said. "It's okay old man. You don't have to apologise for that. So tell me, how much do you want for this ring?"

The old man looked at him and raised two fingers. "How about young master buy it for twenty silver coins?"

Max nodded and paid him twenty silver coins. He only knew that special items made with magic existed, but he didn't know their price, or he would have been shocked to know that he had just bought a magic item at a very low price.

After, he took the ring and wore it on his left hand's index finger. He walked towards his manor with Lilly chatting and laughing. He didn't notice that the ring on his finger glowed with a faint crimson light for a second and then returned to its normal state.

In an unknown location was a mountain range that was surrounded by fire; many powerful fire attributed beasts roamed around here. Even a five-star mage will find his life in danger. Deep into the mountains, a blurry silhouette of a man opened its eyes and mumbled in a hoarse voice, "Final candidate has been chosen. The trial will start shortly."

As the blurry figure finished speaking, five ancient-looking alters started glowing in a volcanic cave in the mountain.

Max returned home with Lilly, and after entering his room, he told Lilly to move the rest of her belongings to his room. He then lay on the bed.

Lilly nodded without saying anything as he had already told her to live in his room. She moved out of his room to do as he said.

While Max waited for Lilly to come back, he raised his left held and stared at the ring on his index finger.

'This is a magic item, right? How should I activate it? Maybe I should try channelling mana into it.' He wondered and sent out a stream of his mana into the ring.

Just then, The ring started glowing with faint crimson light, which increasingly became brighter, and he had to close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in a cave with magma all around him. The temperature here was so high that he started sweating after a few seconds.

"What the fuck? Where am I? How can it be so hot here." He cursed out loud.

"Will you stop your rambling, kid?" A lazy voice sounded beside him. As Max looked beside him, he was surprised to see another human present.

The one who just spoke was a middle-aged man in red robes who, just like his father, was very fit and brimming with vitality. He had white hair and a handsome face. He was rubbing his eyes and yawned as he spoke. It looked like he had just woken up.

After looking at him and around him, he found that both he and this man were standing on stone platforms. There were three more stone platforms which were currently vacant.

As Max observed the middle-aged man, he concluded that the man was also in the same situation as him and had just arrived because who can sleep on these hot stone platforms, and the man also didn't look hostile.

"Oh, sorry old man, I was surprised when I suddenly appeared here out of nowhere." Max apologised as his surprise diminished; he was going to continue when the man suddenly grew angry.

"You little brat, from where do I look like an old man to you?" The man suddenly grew furious, and his previous harmless demeanour was replaced with a dangerous one. He looked as if he would attack him if he said something that he didn't like.

Just then, another stone platform flashed a woman in a pink dress appeared. Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her face was fair, with thin pink lips making her look even more alluring. She had the regal air about her. When she looked at the other two present, she had disdain in her gaze.

Max observed her for a moment. She was beautiful. He could imagine her seductive body even when her long pink robes entirely covered her feminine body.

Max sighed inwardly at this. 'Only if I could take a look at her naked. What a waste!' He realised that almost all his thoughts were becoming perverted, and his sexual desires were becoming even stronger even after he had already had enough sex to satiate his lust after his reincarnation.

He took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions and focused on the bizarre situation he was in. He didn't want to remain clueless when his life might be in danger.

"I apologise for offending you earlier. May I know how should I address you?" Max apologised and asked the man beside him.

The man who now was looking at the woman with a serious look on his face turned his head when he heard Max's apology. He then gave a last glance to the woman and said with a satisfied tone. "You are a sensible kid. I will forgive you this one time. You can call me Lord Schwartz or Schwartz if you want."

When he stopped speaking, the woman who had closed her eyes, looked at him in surprise for a second and then closed them again without saying anything.

Max didn't think of this too much and spoke, "Okay, Schwartz, can you tell me where are we and, why I was suddenly teleported here." 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

He could only ask him if he wanted to know what was happening and why he was here. As for the woman, she didn't even bother giving them a second glance; She was clearly not interested in talking to them.

Schwartz looked at him weirdly and then suddenly exclaimed when he saw the ring on his finger, "What the fuck! You are barely a two-star mage. How come the ring recognised you as the potential successor?"

The woman also looked at Max weirdly. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Max looked at him, dumbfounded. He didn't expect another outburst from him when he had already apologised. But when he heard what he said, Max understood that this was because he had the ring.

He raised his left hand, showed him the ring, and asked, "What about this ring? What successor? Can you explain Senior Schwartz?"

Chapter 38 Legacy

Schwartz gave him a deep look. He didn't think that the ring could choose a person who barely was a two-star mage. He himself was a five-star fire mage, so he thought that only people equal to him or stronger could be chosen, but that wasn't the case.

'It seems that strength isn't the criterion but talent instead. It seems this kid should have some talent to be chosen to be selected.' Schwartz thought.

He then lazily said, "Kid, you are very fortunate to have found this ring. Even more so when You are chosen by that ring to be a potential successor to the legacy left behind by the crimson monarch." 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

...Claymore town, Garfield Manor...

Lilly went out of Max's room and hurried towards the maid's quarters. In a few minutes, she was in front of a building where all the maids of Garfield manor lived.

She took a deep breath as if to prepare for something and headed inside. When she entered, there were a few other maids in the main hall of the building who, after seeing Lilly had varied expressions. Some had friendly expressions, and some looked at her with jealousy, while others were just indifferent.

Just then, A mocking voice sounded out from the right side of the hall, where three maids were sitting on stone chairs and chatting.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Isn't this our Lady Lilly? How come you are here? Oh, by any chance, are you here to get your things to shift into Young master's room?"

Lilly didn't need to turn to look to know who was speaking. She had already expected this. The maid who just spoke was Max's personal maid before Lilly joined. After Lilly came into Garfield manor, her position was given to Lilly, and due to this reason, she hated her the most.

In a noble house, an ordinary maid would only get limited benefits, and their freedom would be more restricted compared to a personal maid of a member of the house. A personal maid only had to report to the one she was assigned and, in some instances, to the lord of the house, whereas an ordinary maid would have to obey the orders of everyone and didn't have much of the free time.

She enjoyed being Max's personal maid for a few years, but with the arrival of Lilly, this lucrative position in the eyes of the maids was no longer hers, and she was demoted to an ordinary maid.

Lilly turned to look at her and said with a hint of anger on her beautiful face, "Caiyi, I don't know why you keep mocking me, but I advise you out of kindness to stop doing that from now on. I won't tolerate it anymore, and yes, I will live in Young master's room from today onwards."

Everyone looked at her in shock when she uttered those words. Some were surprised to see Lilly, who was usually a very good-natured and calm girl, to actually get angry, while Others were surprised to know that she was going to live with a noble family member in his room.

It should be known that normally, nobles don't like to come into contact with commoners as they think that commoners are beneath them. Apart from when they need guards, maids etc., to help them to do minor chores, they don't bother taking a second glance at them.

There are only a rare few cases where a person belonging to a noble family befriends a commoner.

"You will live with him?... how? Oh, I know. It seems you have managed to get into his bed, right? that's why you have become daring enough to talk to me like this, bitch." Caiyi got angry when she heard Lilly warning her 'out of kindness.' She then mockingly continued, "You'll only be this arrogant until he gets bored of your body and throws you out. Then I'll see if you continue being this smug." Her anger took control of her, and she started spewing out whatever came to her mind.

Two maids who were with her hurriedly tried to stop her from speaking anymore when they realised that if Lilly really has won the favour of the young master of the manor, then caiyi's situation might get worse if Lilly complained to him. As they were her friend, One of them placed her hand on caiyi's mouth to stop her from speaking while the other grabbed her, made her sit on the stone chair, and then hurriedly apologised to Lilly.

Lilly didn't say anything and went into her room, packed her things, and quickly got out. Just as she was about to get out of the hall, she stopped and glanced at caiyi before moving out without saying anything she wanted.

She didn't need to explain anything to anyone or get angry over some mean words. She knew that if people came to know about their relationship, she had to bear with their taunting. But that didn't matter to her. What mattered to her was that the one she liked cared for her and liked her back. As for the opinion of others, if she managed to get strong enough, they would automatically stop pointing fingers at her.

When Schwartz stopped speaking, Max had an incredulous look on his face.

He unconsciously mumbled, "Potential successor? Legacy of Crimson monarch?"

Looking at his face, Schwartz decided to explain a little more to the kid who, he thought, didn't have a clue about it. He slowly said, "Crimson monarch was one of most powerful mages in the history. He was one of the few who was able to reach the peak of the eight-star mage realm. With his powerful fire element and excellent mastery over it, he was called Monarch by people. If you are lucky, you might be able to get his legacy; that will make your future limitless."

Max nodded. His face clearly showed how incredulous he felt about this situation. From the books he read in the library, he knew about legacies and how strong a peak eight-star mage can be, and this is the reason why he found it hard to believe.

People who have strength above six-star mage, they are called King mage, Emperor mage and Monarch mage. Although the Mage association initially called them seven-star mage, eight-star mage and nine-star mage, respectively, but as they represented the peak of the power, the way to address them changed.

After one becomes a four-star mage, it isn't easy to advance further. Some talented and fortunate ones can advance further, but many stay at the five-star realm and six-star realm

Very few can advance above the six-star mage realm, and when they feel their lifespan coming to an end, they leave their legacies before passing away.

There are many instances where some people found these legacies left behind by five-star or six-star mages. After passing the trials left behind, they were able to acquire the legacy, which in the long term resulted in them becoming very strong and gaining the respect of the masses. But there are rarely any who managed to find and acquire the legacy of a king, emperor or monarch class mage.

But Max now had a chance to acquire the legacy left behind by a peak Emperor ranked mage whose strength was comparable to those in the Monarch mage realm. How can he not find it hard to believe?

Chapter 39 Arrogant Prince

As Max calmed his thoughts and wanted to ask something, The rest of the altars flashed with bright lights, and Two more figures appeared on them.

A boy who looked around 25 years old, in golden robes; his hair was long and tied into a high bun. He had an arrogant look on his face as he looked around.

Then there was a bearded man with a muscular body in black armour, and a black sword was hung on his waist. He looked like a warrior of war movies. He didn't have any expression on his face.

Two of them looked around for a few seconds, and just like Schwartz and the woman in pink, they seemed to know why they were suddenly here as their eyes didn't reflect any confusion but instead glowed with excitement.

The bearded man in black armour glanced at Max for a second, and when he looked at Schwartz, he paused for a bit longer and then moved on to look at the woman in pink. When he looked at her, a serious look appeared on his face, just like Schwartz had before. After that, he closed his eyes with a calm expression without saying anything. 'It seems it won't be as easy to get the legacy as I thought.'

However, the same was not true for the arrogant looking guy in golden robes. When he looked at the bearded man and Schwartz, he didn't say anything, but when his eyes landed on Max, he sneered, "Tch, What luck! But don't get too complacent pretty boy; with you being as weak as an ant, there isn't any hope of acquiring this legacy. The only outcome for you will be death." He seemed to disdain Max, but everyone could feel that he was feeling jealous. It was not clear whether it was because of Max's luck or something else.

'What the fuck...! Does this guy have any screw loose? What kind of crappy attitude is that? Why do you care whether I live or die?' Max thought as anger threatened to erupt inside of him.

He couldn't bear the disdain and mockery anymore. He didn't care whether he was weak or not compared to him. He just couldn't accept someone mocking him after what he experienced when he found out about Jacob and Alison and when he woke up in Garfield manor and had to endure his siblings' sneers and mockery. He had enough of it already. Although he didn't have anything noteworthy in his past life, but he had his pride. He never put up with anyone's mockery in his life.

Just as he was about to curse him in the face, The woman who had her eyes closed until now spoke coldly, "Can't you just shut up and stop spewing out nonsense just to satisfy your vanity? I feel pity for your parents seeing your attitude. Sigh...!"

The boy in golden robes, who for some reason was already irritated after looking at Max, turned to her in anger. When was the last time when he was insulted like that? But when he looked at her, his eyes burned with lust. He stared at her body as if he could see through her clothes.

His eyes didn't stop staring at her body as he said arrogantly, "Who are you to dare to talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? If you want to live, kneel down and apologise and be my slave, I'll treat you well, or you will have a tough life ahead."

Just he stopped speaking; it felt like the temperature in the cave fell by several folds in an instant. Schwartz and the bearded man looked at the boy with pity.

"What a naive kid. It's true that newborn calf, don't fear tiger." Schwartz sighed.

The woman was stunned after the boy stopped speaking, but in the next instant, her expression became ice-cold, and her figure exuded a tremendous murderous aura.

The boy's expression froze when he felt such a strong murderous aura. He finally realised that he had made a mistake which might cost him his life. The reason for him to think like this was because he could feel himself unable to even move a muscle after being hit by her aura. Unfortunately, he was late to realise his mistake.

"What did you just say? You want me to become your slave?" A cold and enraged voice sounded in his ears.

Just as he was about to apologise, he felt his body temperature getting higher and higher as if a fire was ignited inside his body. His skin turned red, and burning pain coursed through his body. Even though he was also a fire elemental mage and had very good control over the element, his strength of a four-star mage wasn't worth mentioning in front of her, who was about to break through to the six-star mage realm. He even couldn't see how she attacked, let alone try and resist it.

In an instant, The pain became intolerable, and steam started rising from his skin as a burning smell permeated. He screamed, "H-Hey, stop! I'm sorry for what I just said. Stop! Don't kill me; otherwise, my Royal family won't let you go. Ahhhh- stop... stop..."

"Ohh, so you are a prince of some kingdom. It's fine. Let me see what your kingdom can do to me after I kill you." The woman in pink said in a bone-chilling voice as she controlled the heat inside his body. Her expression clearly stated that she really wanted to kill him now.

Just as she was about to turn him into ashes, a voice sounded in the cave. "It's prohibited to fight in the legacy grounds."

Following the voice, the boy who was writhing in pain till now relaxed visibly as his temperature returned to normal. He panted like a dog to catch his breath and looked at the woman with fear and hate. He gritted his teeth and mumbled, "Just you wait slut. Soon enough, you'll be begging for your life."

"Um?"

The woman in pink ignored him and looked at the one who negated her attack. Schwartz and others also looked toward the source of the voice. A blurry silhouette was slowly floating toward them.

After a few seconds, The silhouette became visible for all to see. He was a middle-aged man who looked around 40 years of age. He wore shining crimson robes.

Chapter 40 Margaret Adler

"Are you The Crimson Monarch? How can you still be alive?" The black armoured man asked in disbelief.

The woman in pink and others also looked at him in disbelief. Everyone knew that it'd been tens of thousands of years since his death. It was very difficult for them to believe that after so many years, he was still alive.

The man in front of them laughed and said, "Yes, I'm the Crimson Monarch. And no, I'm not alive. I'm just a strand of will left behind by me to find a worthy successor."

"Oh, I see. Sorry for behaving rudely." The Black armoured man apologised when he heard that he was just a strand of will. The woman in pink and Schwartz also nodded in understanding after hearing his explanation.

"Okay, As I can see, all of my potential successors are here. So let me explain the rules of the trials." Crimson Monarch said.

"Initially, I had devised many trials, but due to some special circumstances, there will be only two trials—trial of fire elemental affinity and Trial of strength. After both trials have ended, I'll decide who among you will get my inheritance." He paused and looked at the expressions of everyone present and then waved his hand a transparent crystal orb the same as the one used by fortune-tellers on the earth appeared.

He then said, "This isn't the same crystal that all of you might have seen when testing your mana affinity. This is used for testing elemental affinity or, precisely, Fire affinity."

He looked at everyone and asked, "Do any of you have any question? If yes, then ask now, or we will proceed to the trials."

No one raised any doubt, including Max; therefore, after waiting for a few seconds, he clapped his hands and asked, "So tell me, who wants to be the first to test your fire affinity?

Just as he stopped speaking, the woman in pink stepped forward and said respectfully, "Allow me to be the first, Senior Crimson Monarch."

"Tch, Do you think if you are the first one to test, you will get an advantage over me? This trial is testing your element affinity and not your strength." The arrogant prince muttered scornfully in a voice only he could hear. He was confident that his affinity and talent didn't lose out to anyone.

...

Crimson Monarch looked at her and nodded. "Okay, go ahead. But before that, let me know my potential successor's name."

The woman in pink nodded and bowed slightly as she introduced herself. "This little one's name is Margaret Adler."

Crimson Monarch nodded. "Okay, Child. Go ahead."

"Margaret Adler...?" The arrogant prince repeated the name. "I think I have heard this name before." Suddenly a thought crossed his mind, and his expression turned pale.

"From your sickly pale expression, it seems you have discovered her identity, boy!" A lazy voice with a hint of mockery sounded in his ears.

He turned to look at Schwartz but didn't get angry like he usually would when someone mocked him; instead nodded gratefully. And then looked at the woman going to test her affinity with dread in his eyes. After seeing her strength, if he was afraid of her, then It wouldn't be an understatement to say that he was terrified after learning of his identity.

Although he had some doubt even after hearing her name as someone other can also have the same name, but after hearing what Schwartz said, he was 100% sure of his assumption. That's why he nodded gratefully at him.

Schwartz simply chuckled at this and sighed. 'There are some things, which the mere mention of them can make even the wildest horse behave properly without doing anything.'

...

Margaret Adler slowly walked down from the stone alter and reached the crimson monarch where the crystal orb was hovering mid-air.

She then extended her hand and gently put it on the crystal orb, and inserted a bit of her mana inside it.

After a few seconds, The crystal orb, which was transparent till now, gradually turned red, and the red light didn't stop there as it formed a red halo of seven meters around the orb.

She then moved her hand away and heard the Crimson Monarch saying with appreciation, "Seven-meter halo, Your affinity with fire element is very good. I hope to see you perform well in the next trial."

"Yes, I'll do my best, senior," Margaret said and returned to her alter.

The arrogant prince looked at her, returning to his side, and took a deep breath before bowing toward her and saying, "Miss Adler, I apologise for my insolent behaviour a moment ago. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

Margaret looked at him derisively and spat on the ground as she said in disgust, "Tch, I knew you coward men could only run your mouth wild. Scram and stop being an eyesore."

He didn't say anything to the apparent mockery and just nodded before staying quiet. He secretly sighed in relief.

Black armoured man and Schwartz's lips twitched when they heard her, but none of them said anything.

After Max heard what she said, he frowned and murmured in a low voice, "Does she have some kind of problem with men in general, or her attitude is also crap, just like that arrogant prince." 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹．𝐨𝐫𝗴

Everyone heard him muttering to himself as they were all very strong people and had very sharp senses. As for The crimson monarch, he acted like he didn't hear anything.

Margaret looked at him with cold eyes but didn't say anything, but it was clear from the way she looked at him that if The crimson monarch didn't prohibit fighting here, she would have slapped him to death.

Schwartz smiled wryly, and his voice sounded in Max's ears. "Kid, You are really brave, or should I say stupid. Can't you see that no one said anything despite us all being men here? You don't know, but she can speak like that because not only is she strong, but her identity is also not ordinary. So I advise you to think before you speak in future as it might decide your life or death."

Max nodded as what he just said was true. He seems to forget that he was not on earth where he could express whatever he has in mind freely. A cold shiver ran down his spine when he realised, if not for the rules here, he would definitely have regretted speaking just now, but he as a man couldn't help himself from complaining when he heard her.

"Okay, who will be the next one? Come forward." The Crimson Monarch said as he looked at the no one in particular.

Chapter 41 Crimson Monarch's Strength

The arrogant prince, who now didn't have his previous arrogance, stepped forward. "Let me take the test, senior."

The Crimson Monarch looked at him and said, "Okay, child, Go ahead and introduce yourself."

He hesitated after hearing this and inadvertently glanced back to look at Margaret. He was afraid that she might find him after leaving the legacy ground if he exposed his identity.

The Crimson Monarch saw his hesitation, and his expression grew unpleasant. "What kind of man are you? Before, your arrogance knew no bounds, and now you don't even dare to introduce yourself in fear. Because of the Cowards like you, all men are treated scornfully by women who should adore us. How... are... you... worthy of my legacy?" As he spoke, his voice grew louder, his anger flared up, and he unconsciously released his aura.

Bang!

The arrogant prince staggered back and fell down on his butt when the shockwave caused by the aura hit him. Max was almost sent flying into the magma behind the altar, but fortunately, Schwartz helped him stay still, but even then, he was forced to Crouch down.

After the Shockwave passed, Max stood up, his body aching all over. When he glanced at Schwartz to thank him, he noticed that he and others were panting roughly as if they had just run a marathon. It was clear that only the aura he had unconsciously released had forced them to this extent.

Schwartz coincidentally looked at him and smiled wryly, and noticing the amazement on his face; his voice sounded in Max's ears. "Strong, right?"

Ads by Pubfuture

Max nodded and asked in a whisper, "Isn't he just a strand of his will? How can he be this strong even now?"

Schwartz shook his head and looked at the Crimson Monarch, who had calmed down after his initial outburst and transmitted his voice to Max's ears. "Kid, Do you know why he was called Monarch by masses even though he was only an Emperor ranked mage?"

Max shook his head. How can he know? He was only able to gather a little information about this world from the library and from what Emily, Anna and Lilly told him, and that too could only be counted as basic knowledge.

Seeing him shaking his head, Schwartz continued, "It was because he was too powerful to be an Emperor Mage. He could fight Monarch mages without any problem, and it is rumoured that he also killed a few Monarchs in his rage. You can't even begin to fathom the extent of his power, even I, as a five-star mage, am incapable of imagining it. But I can confidently say that, although he is just a strand of will now, he can easily kill any King ranked mage."

Max had a look of awe on his face. Although he didn't know how powerful A Monarch ranked mage or even a King ranked mage can be. He was sure that they had enough strength to topple his current understanding. It was because even his father, who was only a three-star mage, could cause such massive explosions that even their mansion, which was large enough to settle a medium-sized village into it, was half destroyed, and he knew that he was holding back that time because he didn't want to kill his own family while fighting that silver wolf.

The arrogant prince stood up, he looked quite battered, and blood was running down from the corner of his lips, but that previous hesitation was nowhere to be seen. He looked at the Crimson Monarch, bowed deeply and said, "My name is Aaron Beruno, third prince of Beruno Kingdom. May I have a chance to test my affinity, senior?"

The Crimson Monarch sighed as he waved his hand and said, "Yes, Go ahead and test."

Aaron walked up to the crystal orb and put his hand on it as he sent out a wave of his mana in it.

Same as before, the crystal orb started shining with bright red light, and after a few seconds, it formed a six-meter halo around it.

Seeing the six-meter halo, his expression twisted as he didn't expect his affinity to be worse than Margaret. Even though he had apologised to her, he still considered himself more talented than her.

The crimson monarch nodded as he said in a clear voice, "Six-meter halo. Your affinity is good." After a pause and seeing his expression, he added, "Reign in your arrogance and use your mind more, and you can accomplish great things with this kind of talent."

Aaron smiled when he heard the first part, but after hearing the later part, his expression became funny as he bowed again and retreated to his altar. Today he realised that the arrogance he had wasn't worth shit, and his talent, although very good, wasn't anything special considering there are many who has better talent than him. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩

...

As Aaron stepped back, Without waiting for the crimson monarch to tell them to come, the black armoured man stepped forward and bowed slightly as he said in a gruff voice, "Greetings, Senior Monarch. I'm Black Reaper. Allow me to test myself."

"Go ahead." The crimson monarch looked at him and nodded.

Black Reaper walked up to the crystal orb and put his hand on it as he injected his mana into it. The Crystal orb started glowing bright red, and after a few seconds, a red halo of Slightly more than six meters formed.

The crimson monarch nodded with a smile. "Your affinity is good. I expect good performance in the second trial."

Black Reaper nodded and bowed before returning to his altar. Aaron looked at the Black Reaper and saw that he didn't seem disappointed even though he was a five-star mage and much older than him. He clenched his fists and thought, 'It's okay. I'm young and can still increase my affinity.'

Schwartz looked at Max and chuckled. "I guess I should also test myself." After saying his part, he strolled toward the crystal orb and didn't even glance at the Crimson monarch who was beside it.

Crimson Monarch looked at him curiously as he didn't show any reverence toward him; instead, he seemed to hate him. Therefore, he asked, "Why don't you introduce yourself before the test?"

Schwartz stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look at him, and chuckled, "Yeah, you are right. I guess I should introduce myself. If I don't, you might kill me."

Chapter 42 Schwartz And Crimson Monarch

Schwartz stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look at him; he chuckled and said, "Yeah, you are right. I guess I should introduce myself. If I don't, given your temper, you might kill me."

Everyone looked at Schwartz with incredulous expressions on their faces. Max was also dumbfounded as to why he dared to speak to him like that, even though he clearly knew that he was no match against him if Crimson Monarch grew angry.

He was also slightly worried. Although he didn't know Schwartz for too long and only met him here but after arriving here, he was the one who cleared his doubts and didn't show disdain towards him like others. Max started to like his carefree personality. Although he acted lazy and indifferent, he was, in fact, a caring person. Therefore, he didn't want him to die here.

Contrary to what he expected would happen, The Crimson Monarch didn't get angry. He looked at him curiously. He chuckled and asked in amusement, "And why do you think so?"

However, Schwartz shook his head and didn't answer him. He looked at him in the eyes and straightened his posture as he said, "My name is Schwartz Darvis, a Citizen of the Crimson Dragon Empire, which you founded. I'm sure now you know why I think like that, right?"

After introducing himself, he didn't wait to see his reaction or anything and stepped forward as he put his hand on the crystal orb and injected his mana into it.

After a few seconds, a bright red halo of seven and a half meters formed around the crystal orb. Aaron, Black Reaper and Margaret looked at Schwartz as if they were looking at a monster.

Ads by Pubfuture

Max was also impressed by the affinity, which from his point of view, was very good. He thought like that because he noticed when Margaret tested and A seven-meter halo formed; Crimson Monarch looked at her as if he had found some treasure. Therefore, it was clear that Schwartz, who had half a meter more halo than her, should be a very rare talent.

Schwartz didn't look happy or sad by his result; instead, he looked at the Crimson Monarch and sneered, "And I've better affinity than you had for the fire element, just as my ancestors had. We, the darvis, have always been superior to you and your family."

... 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

The crimson monarch stared at him, but his eyes were not focused at all. It seemed as if he was staring at something or someone else through him. Even after a few minutes passed since Schwartz stopped speaking, he didn't speak or move. Not even his eyelids moved even a bit. It was like he was frozen in place.

"Hahahahahaha..." Schwartz laughed loudly and pointed at him as he said, "What a fascinating expression you have there! Are you surprised to see a Darvis still alive? Let me tell you, there is not only one Darvis, but many who are still living and my family is even stronger than what it was in the past.

And the Empire you created is now half under my Darvis family's control, and soon it will fall under our complete control. I'm here only to tell you that your shameless betrayal and massacre of my family, we haven't forgotten it. Your efforts have gone down the drain even though it took many years, and we will surely repay the 'kindness' you showed to us and will utterly destroy your Crimson Family. Hahahahaha..."

Sigh!

A sigh rang out in the cave. The Crimson Monarch heard his monologue in silence and sighed a sigh of regret. He looked at him with sorrow, regret, bitterness and even affection and many more emotions.

"Your name is Schwartz, right?" He asked, looking at him as if he was looking at his own son.

Schwartz wanted to curse, but as he saw his expression, which was the same ever since he revealed his name. He didn't understand why The Crimson Monarch, who was famous for his hot temper and would kill for even a small grievance, wasn't even showing any killing intent or didn't even release any murderous aura even after he talked about the past events and possible destruction of his family.

Although Schwartz hated him to the core due to past events but that didn't cloud his thinking. He was sure something fishy was going on.

He stopped laughing like a madman, and after calming himself, he nodded.

The Crimson Monarch sighed again and continued after seeing him nod, "Schwartz, you look the same as your ancestor and my dear friend."

Schwartz grew angry when he heard him and shouted, "You still dare to call him your friend? Even after you betrayed and killed him. How shameless can you..."

Swoosh!

The Crimson Monarch waved his hand, and a few fire chains came out of magma and restricted his movement and stopped him from speaking but didn't hurt him in any way. This showed that he has reached a level where he can easily manipulate fire any way he wants.

He looked at Schwartz and said in a calm voice, "Child, let me speak first." He paused for a few seconds and continued, "As your family or others may think, I didn't betray my friend, let alone kill him. He was my only friend back then, and when almost the whole world was against me, only he supported me. He was like a brother to me. I was cruel but not to the point of taking the life of my only friend."

After saying his part, he retracted the fire chains when he saw that Schwartz had calmed down, and he knew that he would have many questions to ask him.

Schwartz didn't speak for some time as he processed what he had just heard. He then looked at him and frowned as he asked, "You didn't betray him, and neither killed him; then how did he die when he went to fight with you against enemies. Not only that, most of my family members were slaughtered not long after."

Chapter 43 Monarch's Past

Crimson Monarch sighed and started speaking, "In my peak days, Just as you said, my personality was very carefree, and I would kill anyone who dared to antagonise me. I was proud of my strength as even a few Monarch ranked warriors started to avoid fighting me.

That time, even though my strength was nearing the Monarch realm but it was actually not in the monarch realm. I had made many enemies throughout my life. Sometime later, the son of one of my enemies, who I killed a few years back, came to avenge him.

He was only a King ranked mage and was no problem to me, so I also killed him and a few others who were with him in a fit of rage.

This is where everything started. One of the people I killed was actually a prince of the Black dragon empire. After the Black dragon empire came to know this fact, they got angry and sent many people to hunt me down, but all were killed by me.

The then Emperor of the black dragon empire was forced to appear. His strength was slightly less than mine, but with the help of a treasure, he fought me. We fought For three days and three nights which resulted in the black dragon emperor and me being severely injured. Thus we decided to stop fighting in fear of someone else taking advantage of it attacking us.

After that, there was a peaceful time for me when I roamed around the world with my friends, one among them was your ancestor. But when we returned after our journey, we found that the places where our families lived were destroyed, and many were killed by the black dragon empire.

We were angry and wanted to demolish the black dragon empire, but that would result in many innocent and possibly our deaths. At That time, my best friend, Hellfire, who was your ancestor, suggested that I should establish my own empire and settle down to prevent more innocent people from getting killed.

Ads by Pubfuture

After deciding it, I overthrew the current rulers of the kingdom and established the Crimson empire. The name was also suggested by hellfire. Just in a few years, My empire was able to stand against the Black dragon empire, thanks to hellfire and others who supported me and the black dragon empire was forced to stop its harassment. For a few years, there was no conflict between our empires.

But we didn't expect the black dragon empire to be this stubborn. They started killing the people close to me one by one in secret. By the time the news reached me, many of my friends and their families had been exterminated.

This time even hellfire, who previously stopped us from killing our way into the black dragon empire, was angry. We, along with some of my trusted subordinates, launched the attack and killed many members of the authority.

But somehow, the Black dragon Emperor already knew of our intentions and invited a Mid-Monarch level Mage to support him. I could fight Initial level Monarch mages, but against a mid-monarch level mage, there was little I could do. I could only hold him off while hellfire and others fought with the black dragon emperor and his subordinates.

We were in the enemy territory; therefore, we started losing members, forcing me to order the retreat. Just as others had retreated and only Hellfire, my prime minister, who was a relative of mine and I, were left and going to withdraw. That bastard Prime minister betrayed us and pierced hellfire's heart who, was unguarded against him.

I was furious at that time, and I attacked to kill that bastard, but The monarch and black dragon emperor teamed up with him and severely injured me. I had to use a forbidden art to flee, but in return, it worsened my injuries.

I didn't know where I was going and coincidentally entered this Fire Mountain range. I recuperated here for a few months, but due to the severe injuries to my mana core, my strength plummeted considerably and could only be comparable to a peak King realm mage.

I realised that in that condition, I could not do anything to the black dragon empire or that bastard who, even though he was my relative, betrayed me because before we attacked, he had broken through to the Emperor mage realm.

Although I had realised this fact but my anger and sadness of losing a brother like friend got better of me, and I went to confront him. A few days after, the link to my soul was cut off, and I knew that I was killed. I didn't regret my decision, and the only regret was that I didn't know if I was able to kill him or not."

Speaking till here, he stopped talking and closed his eyes. Everyone looked at him with pity. Even Margaret, who didn't seem to like men in general, was gritting her teeth. After staying silent for a while, he suddenly smiled and said.

"Fortunately, I left my legacy before going here and along with my will. I forged five rings which will help me find suitable successors, who hopefully tell me the result of my final battle to me and threw them toward the neighbouring empires and kingdoms."

He sighed again and continued, "I didn't expect it to take so many years, and this strand of will was about to run out of its energy. But maybe destiny didn't want me to die like this, and just today, the final ring found its successor."

He then looked at Schwartz and asked, "If you still think that I killed my best friend and your other ancestors, you are free to loathe me or do whatever you wish. As for killing my family, I'm sure nobody related to would-be alive as that bastard won't let any future threat live."

"..."

Schwartz looked at him with a serious face. After hearing this side of the story, The foundation of his hatred was shaken. He knew that his words didn't have a single lie in them. As for the reason, it was simple. He didn't have anything due to which he would lie, and most importantly, he knew how arrogant and the prideful person he was and such people disdain lying.

Chapter 44 Outstanding Affinity

"No, I don't blame you anymore." Schwartz shook his head and continued, "To tell you the truth, I was also suspicious about this whole thing. Because I read in my family records that the black dragon empire was our empire's enemy, you were alive. But the current empire had a friendly relationship with it, and the royal family would ignore even when the black dragon empire's people humiliated or killed our empire's people and exploited our lands. It all seemed unnatural to me, and after learning the truth, I don't have anything to blame you."

The crimson monarch sighed and murmured, "It seems that bastard turned my empire into a plaything of black dragon empire."

He then asked Schwartz about the current situation in more detail and asked about his family etc.

While they chatted, everyone waited patiently, and no one showed any dissatisfaction after learning about their story and knew that they had a lot to talk about.

Max looked at them chatting and noticed that there wasn't any tension between them any longer, and as his thoughts trailed off, he sighed, "Worst that can happen to someone is to be betrayed by the person you trusted in."

...

...Viscount Mansion, Max's room...

Lilly came back with her stuff in the room. Although she didn't take caiyi's words to her heart and tried to ignore them, Her mood undoubtedly soured. She wanted to hug and talk to Max to calm her agitated heart but was disappointed when she didn't find him in the room.

She then looked toward the bathroom, and after arriving near it, she asked aloud, "M-Max, are you in the bathroom?"

When she didn't hear any response, she peeked inside to see whether he had fallen asleep in the bathtub because he was tired after walking around the market. Unfortunately, the Bathroom was also empty.

"He must have gone out." She sighed and lay on the bed, exhausted. "He loves me, right? Or Would he not care about me anymore after he got bored of my body?" She murmured, and a tear slipped down her cheek.

...

Max didn't know that a young maiden's heart who loved him the most and had given her everything was feeling weak and was having doubts regarding their relationship after someone pointed on their relationship.

He was waiting for Schwartz and Crimson Monarch to finish their talk so that he could also take the test and check his affinity. For some reason, he had a feeling that his affinity would not lose out to Schwartz.

If any of the people present knew what he was thinking, they would surely laugh at him. It was already good to have a six-meter halo of affinity, let alone seven meters or more, and he was thinking that he had affinity surpassing Even Schwartz.

After chatting for a while, Schwartz came back to his altar. The crimson monarch then looked at Max and said, "Come, kid, It's your turn." His voice wasn't rigid like before, and his expression was also not too serious.

Max jumped down and walked toward him and bowed slightly in respect, and introduced himself. "My name is Max. An unofficial two-star mage."

The crimson monarch looked at him with slight surprise. "I didn't expect the successor ring to choose a two-star mage. You must have outstanding talent, kid. Go on, test yourself."

Max walked forward and put his hand on the crystal orb. After that, he controlled his mana and directed it towards the orb. His control wasn't good, but fortunately, he was able to insert his mana.

The Crystal orb started glowing with red light and slowly became brighter. Max took a few steps back and watched as the halo expanded around the orb.

Half meter... one meter... two meters... four meters... five meters... six meters...

Crunch!

Max clenched his fists so tightly that it made a crackling sound. "Keep expanding..." Max muttered in a low voice.

Six and a half meters... 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Aaron gritted his teeth when Max's halo reached six and a half meters. He didn't expect a little two-star mage to have such high affinity. Even though he knew that age or strength level had little effect on one's elemental affinity. Moreover, the red halo didn't show any sign of stopping yet.

Seven meters...

Margaret stared at the seven-meter halo and then Max's back, who was focused on the halo. She couldn't see the expression he was making, but she was sure that he must be ecstatic now. "Well, he deserves to be happy when his affinity is comparable to mine." But she was shocked to realise that the halo was still slowly expanding.

Seven and a half meters...

"Haha, I knew this kid had good talent, but it seems he is even brighter than I expected." Schwartz laughed.

A little less than Eight meters...

Boom!

Everyone felt a shock similar to before, but this one didn't send anyone flying. Schwartz and others looked at the source to see the Crimson monarch with an ecstatic face looking at Max as if he was a priceless treasure.

After reaching eight meters red halo stopped expanding, and the crimson monarch's face had a little disappointed look for a second before it returned to a happy one again.

Phew!

Max exhaled the breath he was holding in. He was satisfied with his result as his affinity turned out to be higher than the rest of the successors. But at the same time, he was a little disappointed as it couldn't reach eight meters.

He had realised the fact that his affinity with the fire element was quite good when he made the [ Fireball ] spell without anyone's help. That time anna and Emily were very surprised by the fact that he could cast an attack spell without learning it before.

"Kid, you have a great affinity with fire. There are only a rare few who has such high affinity without practising any special technique. I expect good performance in the next trial too." The crimson monarch praised.

Chapter 45 Second Trial

"Yes, senior. I'll try my best." Max nodded and returned to the altar.

The crimson monarch waved his hand the crystal orb disappeared. He then looked at everyone and said, "You guys have more than enough affinity with the fire element, and some of you even exceeded my expectations. Now prepare yourself for the second trial, the trial of strength."

"In this trial, you have to fight the earth golems. These golems do not possess any magic skills but their bodies are very hard. Your rank will be decided by the number of the golems you kill. Any questions?" He asked as he finished explaining.

Aaron asked, "Senior, I think this trial is not fair. I mean, Some of us are strong while others are weak. Doesn't this is favourable to strong ones as they will be able to kill more than others?"

Max also nodded at this. He was the weakest of them and thus fated to lose.

"Oh, you are right. I forgot to mention that to make it fair, your mana cores would be sealed, and you'll have to fight as a two-star mage." The crimson monarch said as he nodded in Aaron's direction.

Max visibly relaxed, hearing this. If everyone has the same level of strength, then he might have a chance to compete against others or possibly win.

The crimson monarch threw some crystal beads toward them "Here, take them. Crush it when you think you will not be able to continue and it will teleport you back here."

"Okay, now I'll send you guys to your battlefield. Remember you have only two hours for this trial." The crimson monarch said and waved his hand. All the altars glowed with crimson light, and they disappeared before they could react.

After the cave was empty, The crimson monarch waved his hand once more, and a mana screen appeared in front of him. As he watched the five contenders on the different parts of the battlefield, he muttered, "I didn't expect to have five people whose talent isn't worse than mine to contend for my legacy. It seems this era has many geniuses. The world is going to get stormy. Let's see who will get my legacy." He then focused on the battlefield.

...

Max suddenly found himself standing on the scorched ground. He looked around and saw no one. He could only see small red hills in the distance and many pitfalls on the ground. The temperature here was no less hot than in the cave. It was like a real battlefield.

"It seems we all were sent to different locations." He thought and then checked his body to see if he had any side effects of sealing his mana core.

"I don't feel any different; my mana core is the same as before. It seems mine was not sealed as I am already a two-star mage." Max thought. He then opened his status window with a thought.

"Yep!" He nodded in satisfaction when he saw his stamina and mana were full. He looked around to see if he could find any golem. But he couldn't spot any. "Are we supposed to search around for them? Won't it waste too much time?"

Shua~

Just as he was thinking this, mana in his surroundings became agitated, and many golems made from earth element appeared in front of him. With a rough glance, he spotted over a hundred of them.

"Let's see how many I can kill before my mana runs out." He stretched his body and closed his eyes to focus, and shouted [ Fireball ]. Five fist-sized fireballs appeared above him. He had used ten mana points in each to conjure them.

He opened his eyes and hurled them toward the golems' head. With a bang, three of the five golems' heads were cracked, and they collapsed lifelessly while the remaining two used their hands to smash the fireballs away. He frowned at this.

"It's still not easy and takes a lot of mental energy to control several fireballs at the same time. On top of that, they have quite a good agility to defend themselves even though they are made of earth."

"Let's try two then." Max conjured two fireballs and controlled them to the best of his ability as he sent them at the two golems who were nearest to him.

Bang!

Ads by Pubfuture

Although the golems swung their arm to defend their heads, but one was a second late while the other was a second fast, and fireballs struck them on their 'faces', although they didn't any facial features, and exploded. Their stony heads cracked, and they fell on the ground.

"Two is good for me. I can control them to some extent simultaneously. This is fun. These golems are the perfect practice target for me. hehe." Max grinned. He calculated that he should be able to kill around 70-80 golems if he only cast two ten mana point fireballs before his stamina ran out. He wanted to get better control over this skill as this was his only skill before he could learn more skills, and these golems provided him with the best opportunity.

He wanted to learn a few more skills but there weren't any good skills in their library, and only basic skills were available. There was not any fire elemental skill, so he didn't pay any attention to them.

Magic skills were scarce everywhere, and only common skills were available in the market and not some good ones, let alone elemental skills. Even these common skills were too much expensive for most of people, so very few could afford them. If someone wants to learn good skills and doesn't have enough money, they have to either enrol in the kingdom's magic academies or join the kingdom's Knight force, where the kingdom will provide you with all kinds of skills according to your rank and contributions.

As he was the son of a Viscount, he could just request his father, but the recent situation didn't allow him, and he himself almost forgot about it. Therefore, he decided to get a better control over his [ Fireball ] skill. As for more skills, he had decided to join a magic Academy.

"Fireball! Fireball! Fireball!..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Max cast his fireballs continuously and kept destroying earth golems. He wasn't able to hit with 100 percent accuracy as these golems weren't some immovable targets but actively dodged and tried to rush at him and attack.

He kept dodging and attacking with his fireballs. When almost half of the golems were destroyed, his breathing became a bit laboured, and only one-fourth of his mana remained while his stamina almost bottomed out.

Chapter 46 Second Trial (2)

Huff... Huff... Huff...

Max panted like a dog. After fighting and killing for more than an hour, he has exhausted his stamina, and most of his mana was also spent.

[ Mana: 250/1331 ]

[ Element: Fire ]

[ Lust Points: 0 ]

Max smiled bitterly after seeing that his stamina would run out in a few minutes. Continuously casting his magic spell and trying to evade the golems' attack, he had used all his stamina, even after trying to fight in such a way that he could save some.

"Thankfully, I only cast ten mana point fireball. If I had tried to use more of my mana in them, I would have fainted from fatigue long ago." Max thought.

If you used more powerful attacks, they would take a great toll on your mind and body, thus, depleting your stamina quickly.

Max looked at the golems charging toward him. Although their speed was slow, it was still comparable to his. Fortunately, their overall agility was worse than him, or he might not have been able to kill them.

"I think I've killed enough. After one last attack, I will withdraw. Hopefully, killing more than eighty golems would be enough for this trial." Max muttered as he took a deep breath and straightened his posture.

"Fireball!'

He raised both of his hands above his head and shouted in a weak voice. Two fireballs around one foot in diameter appeared above his hand after a few seconds.

"Go"

His vision started getting blurry as he tried to squeeze all of his remaining mana into them and hurled them where golems were in close proximity to each other.

Boom!

Boom!

Both fireballs exploded upon contact, but he didn't have time to see how many were killed because one golem was punching at his head, and if this punch connected, then his head would explode like a watermelon.

Max clenched the small bead in his hand, which the crimson monarch gave them before sending them here, and he vanished from the battlefield.

Whoosh!

Golem's punch hit nothing but air. As Max vanished, the remaining golems stopped moving and then disintegrated into the mud.

...

"Dammit. It's not comfortable to fight with my strength sealed." Aaron yelled in frustration. He was having a hard time destroying the golems with his strength restricted.

"Fire arrows"

He shouted, and more than ten fire arrows of one-meter length appeared around him. He looked toward the golems and sneered, "Here, take my farewell gift." He said, and fire arrows flew through the air and penetrated the golems' bodies.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Golems fell to the ground making thudding sounds. As for Aaron, he had also consumed all of his mana and therefore crushed the crystal bead and disappeared from there.

...

Whoosh!

One altar shimmered with light, and Max appeared. Max was barely conscious and looked very haggard. He collapsed on the altar and gasped for air.

Whoosh!

After a few minutes, one more altar glowed with light, and Aaron appeared. His condition was slightly better than Max's, but he was also panting heavily and had minor injuries all over his body.

Aaron looked toward Max, and, seeing him almost unconscious, he smiled, but that smile froze when he saw that he had barely any injury. He secretly gritted his teeth 'Dammit, I came out the same time as this trash, and he is only slightly injured. Did he even fight?'

Max lay on the altar without moving. After a few minutes, his breathing became steady, and he also recovered some stamina, but he didn't move and continued to lay there with his eyes closed.

Aaron also didn't speak and continued to recover. He had some medicine pills, and after eating them, he recovered quickly. As he looked at Max again, he saw him sleeping on the altar and smiled with disdain. 'It seems this little shit doesn't even have any recovery pills.'

...

The crimson monarch and Aaron watched the rest of them fighting in the mana screen. After a while, Max also opened his eyes and struggled to sit up. He then watched them fighting with interest. He knew that this would be beneficial for him if he could watch more powerful people in action.

Black reaper was fighting in close combat. His sword was burning with flames, and he was dashing amidst the golems swinging his sword around. With every swing, one golem's head would detach from its body.

Schwartz was using fire chains which looked as if they were made of red crystal. He was controlling them with great dexterity and destroying the golem in the range of his chains.

Margaret, the only woman among them, was the most ferocious one. Any golem that came close to her would melt by her and turn into lava.

"Doesn't this consume more mana? Wasn't her mana core sealed? How is she able to sustain this consumption and fight until now?" Max couldn't help but say his confusion out loud after watching this.

Ads by Pubfuture

Aaron heard him and shot a disdainful glance at him. Although Max didn't like it when he was treated with disdain nh, he couldn't blame him for it as he really didn't know anything that might be common knowledge for the people like him.

Surprisingly, Aaron started speaking, "Her mana core is undoubtedly sealed, and she can only use the same amount of mana as us. Although I didn't like her, I have to admit that her control over mana is much greater than the rest of us. Because of that, she can easily cast her spell with the minimum possible amount of mana without reducing her spell's power, thus, saving a lot of mana and fight longer."

"Oh, I understand now. Thanks for the explanation." Max exclaimed after hearing his explanation and thanked him.

For example, if your car model is old, it will consume more petrol for travelling a certain distance. Whereas, if your car is the latest model, it will consume less petrol and give you better performance. It was something similar in the case of mana too. If you can control it better, then with less mana, you can cast a spell which would generally consume more mana. Better control will result in better efficiency.

After less than ten minutes, the Black Reaper and Schwartz also appeared on the altar and not long after, Margaret also came back.

"Hey kid, how did you do?" Schwartz asked Max in his usual lazy tone.

"I think I performed the best I could, but I don't think I was able to destroy more golems than you guys," Max said, a little disappointed.

Schwartz looked at him with a surprised look. According to Max, he was able to destroy enough golems but wasn't sure whether he destroyed more than them.

"Kid, it's normal if you couldn't destroy more than us. After all, we are more experienced at fighting, and your mana control is only at the basic level." He said, smiling wryly.

Chapter 47 Rewards

ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

The crimson monarch nodded in satisfaction after everyone returned.

"You guys did well. I'll now choose my successor from you guys and give you my 'Crimson Dragon Spell.' But before that, I would like to tell you that although only one might get my Crimson Dragon spell, the rest of you won't go empty-handed." The crimson monarch said with a smile.

"For real?"

"Oh"

"Very nice."

...

Everyone exclaimed with delight. Previously, Everyone had a lingering fear that they won't get the legacy and their efforts would be in vain, but now it was different as he promised to reward everyone.

"Before that, let me tell you the result of the second trial." The crimson monarch spoke. Everyone became silent as they wanted to hear who was the one to ace the second trial as it represented their real talent.

Ads by Pubfuture

"Black Reaper destroyed 95 Golems." The crimson monarch started announcing their result.

"Aaron Beruno destroyed 93 golems."

"Schwartz Darvis destroyed 110 golems."

"Margaret Adler destroyed 116 golems."

"And lastly, Max destroyed 99 golems."

...

"Dammit, I am last in this round, too," Aaron shouted in frustration. His previous arrogance where he felt he was superior to everyone slowly vanished.

Black Reaper was only slightly disappointed, but his expression soon returned to normal.

"Man, I still lost to her by six golems. She is indeed worthy of her reputation." Schwartz ruffled his hair with one hand and sighed but he wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, he was happy that the difference between them wasn't as big as he imagined.

Margaret didn't show any expression after coming top in this trial, but her posture relaxed quite a bit and if someone were to look at her in the eyes he could tell that she was also excited.

"99 golems. It's not too bad, I guess." Max wasn't happy or sad by his result as he knew that he wasn't a match for these monsters even though they were restricted to his level.

"Kid, It's an excellent result considering you are only a two-star mage and should not have any battle experience." Schwartz heard his murmur and praised. He was quite satisfied with his judgement. When he first saw him, he had guessed that he wasn't any ordinary guy and thus talked to him despite his lazy personality and now that his assumption turned out to be true he was naturally happy.

Not only did he outperform two mages who were above him in the mage realm, even though they were restricted, as Even with restrictions, no two-star mage could accomplish what he accomplished, but also, his affinity with his element was stronger than theirs. Given enough time, Schwartz was sure that Max would become a very formidable mage, even more than Crimson monarch or others.

"Schwartz! If I didn't know you are a darvis; I would have chosen you as my successor after seeing your outstanding talent." The crimson monarch looked at Schwartz and said with a hint of regret.

Schwartz didn't have any reaction after hearing that he would not be able to get his legacy. "It's fine. I didn't come here for legacy anyways." He lazily waved his hand and said.

The crimson monarch smiled and waved his hand, and a scroll flew toward Schwartz. He caught the scroll and opened it. After looking at the content of the scroll his mouth was open in 'O' shape. He pointed toward the scroll and stuttered when he tried to speak "Th-This... This... "

Max stared at him acting like as if he had seen a ghost. He was surprised to see him behave like this because when he confronted The crimson monarch and knew that he could be killed, even then, he wasn't flustered like this.

Margaret and others also stared at him and the crimson monarch, who had a slight smile on his face they didn't know what was in the scroll.

"Yes you are right. This is the skill invented by Hellfire. He had planned to pass this on to your family after the war with the black dragon empire, but unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity. He had given this to me before in case something bad happened and he couldn't make it out alive from the war." The crimson monarch paused as he closed his eyes for a second and then continued,

"Fortunately, you have come here before my last bit of will vanished from this world along with this art. Remember, although Hellfire was slightly weaker than me but this 'Hellfire emperor art' is equally if not more powerful than my 'Crimson Dragon spell.'

Schwartz was dazed for a while. He felt many emotions surging in his heart. He grew up hearing about how great his ancestor was and heard about his life exploits. Hellfire gradually became his idol. Now that he had the art that he had invented himself, he was very excited and sad at the same time.

Thud!

Schwartz kneeled in front of the crimson monarch and said, "Thank you, senior; now my family won't bow down to anyone with this skill, and I apologise for my previous behaviour."

"It's alright." The crimson monarch said casually and then looked toward Margaret and said, "Little lady, You are indeed impressive. Even though you are in the same realm as this kid, who has more affinity than you, you still beat him." Crimson monarch praised.

Margaret nodded her head but didn't say anything. The crimson monarch then continued, "I've chosen you as my successor. Do you agree to inherit my legacy?"

Hearing his words, none seemed too surprised. Even Aaron didn't say anything as he knew she was qualified to receive his legacy.

Margaret stepped forward and bowed in front of him and said, "Yes, senior monarch."

"Good. Step back for the time being." The crimson monarch nodded, satisfied. Margaret retreated to her altar.

He then waved his hand, and five rings flew toward him from Max, Schwartz and others' possession and merged into one.

He then took out A crimson sword which looked majestic and emitted an aura of dominance, and it flew towards Black Reaper.

"I bestow my Crimson slayer to you. I hope you will use it well." The crimson monarch said.

Black Reaper accepted the sword with both hands and bowed to him to express his thanks.

Chapter 48 What Happened?

The crimson monarch turned to Aaron, who straightened his back and looked at him with expectations in his eyes.

The crimson monarch noticed this and laughed "You are not bad, little guy, and it seems you found out that arrogance is not worth anything. Take pride in who you are but don't be arrogant."

Aaron nodded as he held his head down. He was embarrassed. Now that he thinks back, his arrogance was useless, and it only made him look foolish.

"Good. One should know their deficiencies and work to eliminate them. Here, this is your reward." The crimson monarch flicked his finger, and a thumb-sized green crystal bead flew toward him.

"Just like my crimson slayer, this is also a powerful emperor artefact which I acquired after killing one of my enemies. Use it well." The crimson monarch commented.

When Aaron saw that it was only a crystal bead, he was disappointed, but after hearing that it had equal value to his crimson slayer and was an emperor artefact, he was so happy that he wanted to shout because even in his kingdom, there was only one Emperor artefact.

But when he caught it, his expression changed to become one of shock. Even though he was sure that no emperor artefact would be useless and would have great value, he didn't expect to get such a great treasure. He quickly collected himself and bowed. "Thank you, Senior." 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.ｏｒｇ

The crimson monarch nodded and then said, "Okay, now you guys should go."

Ads by Pubfuture

"Go? But he hasn't received his reward yet." Schwartz pointed at Max and asked. But before he could say anything more, their altars glowed, and Aaron, Black Reaper and He disappeared from the cave.

Max thought he was also going to be teleported out, but he was still in the cave along with Margaret. He looked at the crimson monarch with confusion.

The monarch glanced at him and grinned. "Did you think I would send you out without giving you your reward?" He paused and then said, "Don't worry, kid, I just sent them out because I didn't want to let them know what I gave you."

Margaret looked at him in confusion and asked, "Senior monarch, if that was the case, then why didn't you send me out along with them?"

"Little lady, how could I send you out when I still haven't passed my legacy to you. And I don't believe you would harm him because of the reward I would give him because you will have the same things as him." The crimson monarch smiled.

"You mean he would also get your 'Crimson dragon spell'?" Margaret asked in surprise.

The crimson monarch nodded and looked toward him as he asked, "Little boy, do you want to inherit my legacy?"

Max was dazed for a while as he did not expect him to receive his legacy, but he didn't directly agree. instead, he asked, "Senior, may I know why I'm also eligible?"

The crimson monarch was surprised to hear his question but smiled after thinking about something, and Margaret finally looked toward Max. In her opinion, Most Men are too greedy and want everything without working for it themselves. But Max proved her wrong as he didn't agree as she thought he would.

"It's because among all the successors, you have the highest affinity, and your performance during the second trial is way better than the rest of them comparatively. Although your control over mana isn't worth mentioning and you don't have any fighting experience, but these will change in the future as your strength increases." The crimson monarch explained.

Margaret stared at him intently as if she wanted to engrave his face in his mind.

Max didn't speak after hearing him. He had expected some other reason for choosing him; for example, he was special or something like that.

"Okay senior, I accept your legacy." Max bowed.

"Good, Don't resist." The crimson monarch nodded, and golden light shot out from him and entered Margaret and Max's forehead.

"I've transmitted My Crimson dragon spell to you two." He said and then looked toward Max and said with a serious voice, "Max, you should not try comprehending it before you become a four-star mage at least; otherwise, your body won't be able to bear it." The crimson monarch said and then flicked his finger in his direction. "Go now."

The altar glowed, and he disappeared.

The monarch then looked at Margaret and said, "Little lady, I have a small request before I disappear from this world."

"Please say, senior monarch."

...

...

Max suddenly appeared in his room. Lilly wasn't in the room, so he thought she was out. He was too tired after all that had happened. He laid on the bed and quickly entered deep sleep. He didn't even bother to change his clothes which were tattered and had blood stains on them.

...

He didn't know how many hours he slept. He opened his eyes. His body was sore. "I've to increase my basic stats to avoid being in this situation after every fight."

Ads by Pubfuture

"Huh? It seems Lilly has taken care of me. How caring!" Max smiled when He stood up to take a bath and realised that he was wearing clean clothes and he had medicine paste over the bruises and cuts that had almost disappeared.

He quickly took a bath and went out. He was starving right now. The reconstruction was done, and everything was clean and shiny once again. You could not say that a few days before, there was only destruction.

"Magic is really great and makes lives much easier." He was still in awe of the fact that he was in a world where magic existed.

Viscount manor had also hired more guards and maids while Knights were gradually being recruited.

As he walked toward the dining hall, all the guards, maids, whoever saw him greeted him with respect. He didn't know what brought this change

He ordered some maids to prepare food for him and waited. After a few minutes, food was served; he gobbled everything up. When he was done eating, he went to find Esther.

Esther, Mina and Amelia were gathered together and were talking with grave expressions. When they noticed Max coming, they stopped whatever they were talking about and put on smiles on their faces.

Max noticed this and frowned but chose to ignore it and asked after greeting them, "Do you know when my father will come back? I need to talk to him about something."

Hearing his question, their smile disappeared, and their expressions sank. Seeing their reaction, his expression hardened, and he asked, "What happened? Tell me. Is he alright?"

Chapter 49 I Want To Become Strong Too

"Tell me, what happened? Is father alright?" Max urged.

Esther looked at him and said, "Yes, he is fine. We just received his message that the team to hunt three-starred beasts had formed but there are only a few three-star mages in the team and judging from the reports on Beast tide there are more than a dozen three-starred beast in the magical forest."

She paused and looked toward Amelia, who seemed too worried, and continued "So we are slightly worried even though we know that nothing would happen to your father as he is also a very powerful three-star mage."

"Ohh! This is the case." Max let out a sigh of relief.

He then looked at them and smiled beautifully. "Don't worry, father is indeed very strong. He can handle those beasts easily with other mages, and there is less chance of them encountering all the beasts at the same time. Even if they did, they can just retreat. You guys don't have to worry so much." He tried to ease their worries.

"Mhm... You are right." Esther and Mina nodded and looked at Amelia who was the most worried and talked to her to relieve some of her tension.

After talking to them for a few minutes, more, Max came out of their room. He wanted to talk to his father, but he still haven't returned. However Esther told him that, before going into the forest to hunt, he will come home first. So Max decided he would talk to him then.

When he returned to his room, he saw Lilly sitting on the bed. She was wearing a purple coloured one-piece dress which was clinging to her body on the chest and hips but covered her completely, barely showing any skin, Making her look even more charming. Max stared at her, pleasantly surprised. Although he knew that Lilly was beautiful, he didn't expect her to look so much more beautiful in different clothes. He patted himself inwardly for buying her these. Her current beauty could easily make any man fall in love with her.

When Lilly saw him entering the room, she stood up with her head down. She blushed when Max kept staring at her, but she felt good in her heart. Any girl would feel good when the one she loves looks at her like that, and Lilly was no exception.

She looked up when she remembered how worried she was when she returned to his room and saw him passed out with small injuries all over his body. She asked sternly, or she tried, "Wh-Where did you get those injuries? I was so worried when you didn't wake up even in the morni..."

She couldn't complete her sentence when Max walked up to her and embraced her. Her mind went blank being embraced by him so suddenly, but she quickly came to her senses and pushed him away.

She rebuked in a soft voice, "I'm asking something. Why do you have to worry me like this? I was so worried when I couldn't find you anywhere in the mansion and found you here passed out, injured." Her eyes teared up.

Max felt bad seeing her worry like this, but at the same time, he felt good that she genuinely cared about him.

He cupped her face lovingly and said as he looked her into the eyes, "I'm sorry for worrying you." He apologised and then explained to her what had happened.

"Remember the ring I bought from that merchant. It turned out that it was a legacy item. It suddenly teleported me to the legacy ground. There..."

After listening to him, she stared at him in awe. She knew a little about the powerful beings such as Kings, Emperors and Monarchs. Max had told her occasionally when he spent his time studying. She knew that they were almost godlike beings and The strongest ruler of their kingdom was only a King ranked mage who established the green leaf kingdom.

Now the man she loved has received the legacy from a powerful being like the crimson Emperor. Naturally, She was happy, so happy that she couldn't speak, but at the same time, she felt worry growing in her heart. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

Now that Max has already become a two-star mage at such a young age and inherited the legacy from an Emperor ranked mage, he would no doubt become more powerful in future, and many women would try to court him.

Although she already knew that he would have more women beside her and he had promised her that she would be his Main wife, she was still worried. Worried about the fact that she was weak and might continue being weak and become a burden on him and won't be able to accompany him in his future adventures, which would undoubtedly be dangerous. Some strong woman might take his heart, and he would no longer love her.

Lilly shook her head and suddenly slapped her cheeks and thought 'No, I will also become strong so that I will be with him always and won't let anyone steal him from me.'

Max was dumbfounded by the sudden change in her behaviour and asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm happy that you had such a fortunate encounter." After saying this, she suddenly put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.

Max felt odd because he could feel that she was worried about something but didn't think more and kissed her tasty lips back.

When Max was getting into the mood, Lilly suddenly broke the kiss and said while looking at him, "I don't want to be left behind. I want to become strong too so that I can accompany you always."

He was momentarily stunned and then smiled when he saw the determination in her eyes. "Oh, Okay. Come with me then." Max grabbed her hand and crossed his fingers with hers as he led her out of the room.

She didn't resist and let him drag her with him. She had made resolve in her heart to face reality.

Max led her towards the library. Many maids and guards saw them and started whispering among themselves.

"Who is that lady with the young master? She is too beautiful."

"It seems young master has found himself a good lady."

"But why does she looks familiar? It seems I've seen her somewhere."

"Hey, isn't that Lilly? Young master's personal maid."

Ads by Pubfuture

"Yeah, she is. I didn't think she would be so cunning and make her move on the young master."

"Yeah, you are right. I heard she started living with him in his room recently."

"Her life is set now. Young master isn't like before. He has become a two-star mage at such a young age. Maybe I should also try my luck on him."

"You? Have you seen your face in the mirror? He won't even give you a second look. Hehe."

"..."

Some maids recognised Lilly and started gossiping. Some started defame her while some became jealous of her.

Lilly bit her lower lip hard that it started bleeding, and her eyes became wet. She tightened her grip on his hand to feel his warmth.

Max suddenly stopped in his tracks when he felt her hand tremble and looked toward the maids who were badmouthing her and said coldly, "Don't you have anything else to do? She is my woman, and if I hear any of you talking bad about her, I'll kill you." His eyes burned with flames, and the temperature around him started to rise.

"I'm sorry young master. Forgive us." Every maid felt scared under his cold gaze and hurriedly apologised and went away.

Chapter 50 Lewd Intentions

He ignored them and walked toward the library with Lilly. Soon they were in front of the library hall. He entered with Lilly and led her to the corner where Esther had found the mana formation scroll for him.

"Stop right there." A cold voice sounded out from behind. Lilly tensed up, thinking that she might not be allowed to enter. The librarian, who was an old man, came toward them. Max stopped and waited for him to come because he knew that the librarian was only doing his duty. Only the Garfield family could enter this section. Apart from them, everyone had to take special permission, and the librarian had to verify their identities.

But when the librarian saw Max, he bowed respectfully and said, "It's young master Maxwell. Forgive me; you can enter." He moved aside and let them enter the skill section.

It was a big hall with many shelves arranged in rows. There were many skill scrolls and skill books neatly arranged on the wooden shelves. Lilly was looking around with a dazed expression. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Before, as a maid, she wasn't even allowed to enter the library and could only read the books Max occasionally gave her, but now she could choose any book or skill which even the Knights weren't usually allowed to touch. Although She knew that there were many skills in the library, She was surprised to see these many books in one place.

"You can choose any skill you want, and there should be some ice spells too because Esther is also an ice mage. Find those which you think would suit you. I'm going back; for now, take your time." Max pointed to the shelves and said. He then kissed her and went out.

After exiting the skill section, he walked to the old librarian "Librarian, Let her stay here as long as she wants and choose her skills. If you can, help her find some suitable ones but remember, treat her respectfully." Librarian hurriedly nodded. At this point, everyone knew that Max wasn't like before and has already become a two-star mage showing great potential for the future. Max had to warn him because he noticed that the librarian had a cold personality, and he didn't want him to be rude to her.

When Max returned to his room, he found Eva standing outside his room. Seeing Max coming, She put on a charming smile and greeted him, "How are you, Max? If you have some time, can we talk?"

"Oh, sure. Come inside." Max smiled and led her inside.

He sat down on the bed and gestured for her to sit. "Sit wherever you like." After saying those words, he suddenly became embarrassed because in his room there was only the bed and one stone chair which wasn't near the bed.

When he was about to get up and let her sit on the bed instead, she was already seated beside him. Max looked at her from head to toe. She was wearing a yellow dress which exposed her hands and legs. He could even see her deep cleavage.

When Eva noticed that he was peeking at her boobs, she slightly stuck her chest out.

Max moved his gaze away, thinking she might feel awkward if he kept staring at her. Eva was a beautiful girl around his age, but her beauty couldn't be compared to Lilly. Her breasts were slightly bigger than Lilly's, and she looked attractive in her revealing dress.

Max couldn't help but nod his head. The women here were really of good quality. He had to fight his urge to look at her plump breasts.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" He asked, looking at her face and appreciating her beauty.

Eva secretly let out a sigh of relief when she noticed that he seemed interested in her body. She sat closer to him and smiled at him, and said, "I wanted to thank you for saving our lives from the beasts. But I couldn't find you before, so I came today to thank you."

"It's okay. We are family. Naturally, I will do whatever is necessary to ensure your safety." Max said, trying to avoid looking at her cleavage, which was tempting him very much now.

"I also wanted to apologise for my husband's rude behaviour to you. I hope you won't take that to heart and forgive him. Because in future we might have to depend on you to live a safe life." Eva put her hand in his and stroked it lightly.

Max suddenly realised why she had come to talk to him. It was because, after witnessing his strength and talent, she was worried that in future, if he became the viscount, he would make their life hard, given that her husband was the one who mocked him the most. Therefore, she wanted to seduce him, or why would she wear such revealing clothes and be so defenceless.

Max was partially correct. Eva came here for that too, but her main reason was not that. She wanted to seduce him. After the day she heard him having sex in his room and the woman's pleasure-filled moans, she couldn't stop herself from imagining having sex with him.

It's been more than a year since she married William. Initially, She wasn't interested in sex and only saw it as the process of making babies. But after the first she did it with William, she became obsessed with the pleasure it brought her. But after some time, she wasn't satisfied with him, and he then joined the magic academy, leaving her alone.

When William came back for Max's birthday celebration, he didn't pay attention to her, which made her even more frustrated. But after the beast tide, when she came back to thank Max and heard him having sex, her last line of resistance broke, and all she could think of was sex.

And when she found out that the woman he was having sex with was only a maid of the house, she thought he was also a pervert. Therefore she decided to make her move on him.

Max also noticed her intention and chuckled inwardly. 'What a cunning and lewd woman. Well, It's great if you are asking for it; I'll give it to you; I also need some lust points anyways.

Chapter 51 You Seem To Love It

Max suddenly grabbed her hand, which was stroking his hand, and put it between his hands, and as he felt the softness of her hand, he smiled and said, "It's okay, sister in law. I don't blame him. He is also my family, after all. If you ever need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask."

Eva looked at his handsome face and nodded as a slight blush adorned her cheeks. As she felt his hands caressing her hand, she started to feel hot. Her thoughts wandered all around.

"Thank you, Max, for understanding. I'll make sure be never talk bad to you." She said in a weak voice.

Max looked at her face and saw that she was turning on but acted as if he didn't know and put his hand on her cheek and rubbed lightly. "Are you okay? Your face is turning red."

"Mhm...I'm fine. It's just that I'm feeling hot suddenly." She leaned toward him more, and now Max could see deeper into her cleavage.

Max was using his elemental mana to increase the temperature around them slightly because it would help him in a moment.

Thinking about the possibility of having sex with Max, which made her feel hot, coupled with the increase in temperature, she started to sweat slightly. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

Seeing that the beads of crystal sweat started to form on her forehead, cheeks, breasts and other exposed parts, he stopped circulating his mana, and the temperature around them became normal.

"Oh, sister in law, you are sweating. Let me help you wipe it." Without waiting for her to say anything, he took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her forehead.

Eva didn't stop him, so he moved his hand down and wiped her nose, cheeks and then neck. He then moved his hand toward her cleavage and started to wipe it, and simultaneously started rubbing the upper area of her boobs with his fingers.

Eva bit her lower lip in a seductive manner. Max was now completely sure that she was here to seduce him. He stopped after wiping her sweat off her hands but didn't touch her half-exposed legs and smiled. "You must be feeling hot here, right? you are sweating all over."

"Yes. I don't know what happened. But I'm feeling hot here. Should I take these clothes off?" Eva smiled at her seductively.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Max quickly nodded.

Eva turned around and started taking her clothes off. Very soon, she was only in her underwear. Max couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed her boobs from behind and ripped off the bra type clothing covering her melons.

"Ahh...!"

Eva cried out in surprise but didn't resist and looked back and said mischievously, "So are we not playing dumb any longer?"

"What's the benefit of acting dumb when you obviously came to seduce me. Now make haste and undress me." Max slapped her ass and sat back.

Eva quickly turned to him and stripped him of his clothing. Now, they both were only in underwear. Max pointed to his underwear, and Eva took it off.

Gasp!

Eva gasped when his erect thick dick came into her view. "Now I understand why that girl was moaning with so much pleasure." She murmured, looking at his big thick cock. Her eyes were fixed on it as if it was some great treasure.

"It seems sister in law likes it." Max grinned, and with one hand, he put it on her lips.

Eva understood his intention but backed off and asked with a slight frown, "You want me to put it in my mouth?"

"And suck it." He nodded as he added, "If not, you can just go back. I won't stop you."

Eva hesitated after hearing him. His meaning was clear. He didn't care much about having sex with her. If she wanted to satisfy her lust, then she had to do what he wanted.

It didn't take her more than a few seconds to make her decision. She crawled on fours and grabbed his cock with her little hand and stroked it a few times, then put her lips on the tip and gave it a lick.

'It smells and tastes weird but good.' She thought and then opened her mouth and took half of his dick inside.

"Oh, nice! Don't let your teeth touch it and use your tongue to such on it." Max told her as it seemed that she had never given a blowjob.

"Mmh..." Eva nodded with his dick in her mouth. She started to use her tongue to lick around the glans and suck it.

"Ohh! Good continue like this." Max groaned in pleasure.

In just a few minutes, Eva was doing an excellent job. She would constantly stroke his shaft and put it in and out of her mouth and suck hard on the glans, and when his dick would almost reach her throat, she would wrap her tongue around it.

"Oh! I didn't expect it. You are a natural at this. Ah, swallow it all." Max grabbed her hair and pulled her head down, and put his cock to the balls in her mouth. It went into her throat, which stimulated it even more, and he shot his load down her throat.

"Uggh..." She choked when his cum filled her throat, but she couldn't move back because he was holding her head down.

"Ohh...yess!"

Max moaned aloud as pleasure coursed through his dick. He felt great doing it a bit forcefully. He didn't need to care for her even if she choked and couldn't breathe for a short while because, given how lustful she was, she would not mind as long as he fucked her brains out.

Doing it with Lilly, he had to be gentle and make sure that she was also satisfied as there were feelings involved, but with Eva, there was no such thing. She was doing it with him for her selfish reasons, so he could treat her however he wanted.

After he stopped cumming, he let her move away her took his dick out.

"Haahh...huff...huff..."

She gasped for air but didn't spit his cum out and swallowed it all as he told her to.

To his surprise, She didn't show any dissatisfaction or resentment but smiled and licked her lips clean of his semen. "Did you feel good, Max?" She asked as she again grabbed his dick with one hand and started to clean it with her tongue.
