I gaze at the corpse of my supposed father, who by now had reverted back to his "human" form, but I can still see numerous gashes and wounds all over his body. I'm not exactly sure what to feel right now, merely frowning in silence, hearing my own heartbeat.
I flip him over, my frown deepening as I see a calm smile on his face. I glance at the family picture in my hand, a much younger Eero side-hugging a smiling woman with blue hair, fair skin, and violet eyes who held a sleeping baby with white hair in her arms.
...Fucking hell…
What did I just do?
Killed my father, massacred my own people...
Suddenly, the ground begins shaking, making me crouch down as I frown seriously. What's happening?
I suggest leaving the dungeon. Now
What, Why?
Suddenly, the castle collapses as a gigantic, sea monster of some kind emerges. Its roar cracks the ground, and I fall to my knees, covering my ears in pain. As it was done, the giant serpent looks up to the sky and flies up.
What the FUCK is that?!
Name: Cetoria
Title: The First Leviathan
Age: ?
Race: ?
Level: ?
...oh fuck that.
As I was about to run towards the door, I stop and turn to Eero's body, growling slightly before stuffing it into my inventory. I quickly dash towards the door as the floor beneath me splits into two and I jump over the new gap, landing near the exit. I rush out of the dungeon, looking around the same clearing I found its entrance in.
The door behind me disappears into particles, leaving me alone in this place. Still not sure what to do, I lean down on a boulder near Roc, covering my face with both hands before letting out a long sigh. Gwyn materializes, feeling worried about me as he whines, licking at my face.
"I'm fine, Gwyn. Just…" I sigh again. "… Not really sure what to feel right now."
...This is a fucking mess.
Are you okay?
I… think so, yeah. I'm just shocked, I guess. When I decided to go through a dungeon, I didn't expect to find my 'birthplace' there, neither did I think I'd be killing my own dad. I mean, I didn't have a choice seeing that I needed to do it to leave, but still…
I know that dungeon wasn't my actual birthplace, because I do remember… most of life back on Earth. There are big chunks missing, like my old dad's name. I don't even remember what he sounds or looks like. All I know is that I lived with a single father that I liked.
But I don't even remember what he was like, so that doesn't really matter, does it?
You know, after the first- after Adrian recognized who or what I was, a part of me knew dungeons were something different than what I had thought, but the idea of them being only programmed for my sake, for me to become stronger or as a feature of The Gamer never left my mind.
Like, they weren't real people. They didn't have proper thoughts, they were just there, NPCs. Nothing important, entities with no hopes, nor dreams, nor feelings. That idea was just ingrained in my head, and when it was shaken slightly after feeling the recognition from them, I forced it back.
I couldn't be happily murdering people for the sake of EXP, right? That's just… fucked, even for me. I'll gladly kill horrible people like the slavers, people who properly deserve to be ripped apart, but I don't know who they were, so I can't be judgmental. I thought they were just NPCs, so they'd have no feelings, right? It was fine to slaughter them, after all, they're not really alive, so why should I stop and think about what their feelings might be or what they had to say?
Turns out I was wrong.
Again.
Do I regret killing them?
No, I don't. Because I needed to do it. I needed to kill my fa- to kill Eero to leave that dungeon, and if I had tried to fight him without killing any of the advisors or the guards there, I 100% would've died. I couldn't defeat him underleveled, and the fight was close even then.
Am I sad or do I feel guilty that I killed them all? I… guess so. A little.
If I had recognized sooner that the dungeon wasn't just a pocket dimension solely made for grinding earlier, I might've been able to learn more about my heritage. I had some books for this, true, but what could be better than learning from a real Leviathan? I wouldn't be able to leave, but would staying there for a little while really have been that bad? I could've… maybe explained the situation before going all 'murderhobo' on them.
Do you really not feel regret?
I click my tongue in annoyance.
...I guess the only regret I have is killing them before at least knowing more about them. The problem isn't killing them, but doing it without thinking or even considering the situation first. I didn't ask myself why they might have recognized me or not, nor did I read more about the history of this place before killing Eero when I really had all the time in the world.
It's something I noticed a long while ago, and even The Game mentioned it, but I thrive on violence. I know old me, the one before The Game, wouldn't have killed as I do now, but right now I don't see any issues. At first, I was only slightly worried, but then I assured myself that Remnant, while not quite as dangerous compared to other, more terrifying universes, was still a death world.
In Remnant, not hesitating to resort to violence is more beneficial than the alternative.
But now I can't properly control my violent tendencies, because if I could, I would've paused and thought. Why did he recognize me? I've never met this person, so surely this dungeon is more than meets the eye, right? This is a water dungeon, and I'm some sort of a creature that's related to water, so if he recognized me, then there's a good chance I'm somehow connected to this place.
But what did I do? Kill first, and…
I let out a mirthless chuckle.
… Talk never.
Why did I even have the quest to kill them? Why couldn't there be a more peaceful method? What if this was a lower level dungeon? If it was, I wouldn't have the excuse of needing to kill them to defeat the boss, and I'll seriously be some amoral monster killing for EXP.
Why, Game? Couldn't you make another bonus quest? Like, to talk to them or to help them rebuild or anything!
...Are you blaming me for your grievances?
Answer the question. Why didn't you add another quest?
It wouldn't have mattered. They were living on borrowed time.
...What?
They were cursed, all of them. A very powerful curse that slowly killed them from the inside.
So? I could've just broken the curse after some time, right? I'm on my way to become a Wizard Grandmaster, so I could've learned more about curses and maxed out whatever curse-break skill there is to help them.
Let me help you understand.
Not even the combined powers of the Brother Gods would've lifted it.
Brother Gods aren't shit to the full potential of The fucking Gamer.
Indeed, but you'd be stuck in that dungeon. Your potential would have been hindered immensely.
But-
You had to kill them, Reid. There can be no progress without sacrifice.
I clench my right fist tightly, scowling at nothing in particular. I know The Game was right, but I fucking hated it. If I have somehow broken the curse- if there was another bonus quest…
You might not know it, but you saved them by ending their misery. The curse was a painful one, and you saw how many lost their sanity.
My scowl morphs into a grimace as I calm myself down.
Damn it...
...I guess you're right.
There were just so many wasted opportunities because I didn't stop to think. It feels like all the INT and WIS points I have are there for show, or I'm just not using them at all.
I let out one more drawn-out sigh before standing up, shaking my head slightly. What happened, happened. I can't change it, and wallowing in misery over it won't help me in any way. If… I was really the Prince of Poseidra, then I could at least live on for them as well as myself.
They weren't angry when I killed them. They accepted their deaths and were relieved when they saw me alive, which speaks volumes of their loyalty. I won't let it be in vain, and being depressed about it is a spit on their faces.
And… I still have my father's corpse. I'll at least be able to bring him back when I unlock the required skill. I owe him that much at least
I look at my stats and new perks, feeling slightly better at how powerful I've become. I chuckle slightly as I see the change in my name as well. I guess because I accepted it, it turned like this?
Name: Reid Astera/Alaric Delmar
Title: Titan Slayer
Age: 17
Race: Human/Leviathan Hybrid
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Level: 153 (17%)
Professions: Gardener, Chef, Teacher
Students: Ruby Rose
HP: 18,300 [Regens 1830 per minute]
MP: 14,650 (21,975) [Regens 1415 per minute]
AP: 38,250 [Regens 3825 per minute]
STR: 366
VIT: 366
DEX: 468
INT: 293
WIS: 283
CHA: 308
LUK: 188
Points: 140
But what's the point of Reid Astera if Alaric Delmar is my real name? Now that I think about it, one of the guards recognized Reid Astera, so maybe one is my Human name while the other is a Leviathan name?
Whatever. I like both anyway.
Title gained
[Kin(g)slayer]
You've slain a king in your lifetime, and is that an achievement or a crime? Who knows, but Kings are now far warier when in your presence
Passive: You release an aura that sets any kind of ruler on edge, making them a little easier to intimidate
Equipped: Damage dealt to rulers is increased by 20%
I wince slightly, feeling as if someone rubbed salt on the wound, then shake my head and continue reading.
Perks gained
[Treasure Hunter]
You have a special intuition skill that helps you find and discover treasures.
You'll feel a tugging sensation towards the direction of a nearby treasure, old ruins, or dungeon
[Only One Remains…]
You are the last of your kind, and people will subconsciously be a little nicer to you due to that fact
The rate of reputation gain is slightly increased
The last one made me wince, grimacing slightly before shaking my head. Fucking hell, I can't catch a break, can I...
No, I... I deserve it.
How would people even know what I am anyway?
No, just don't think about it.
Another perk, though, made me grin.
[Fury of the Tides]
Ruler of the Seas, Lord of the Oceans, you are the Leviathan, the legendary beast able to command the tides you ride on
Water Magic Damage is doubled and costs 50% less MP to cast
All Water-Based skills gain 100% more EXP
500% movement speed in open ocean, 300% in small bodies of water, 150% in rain, and take no knockback from attacks while in water
You are able to command the seas to aid you, and all aquatic life are naturally submissive towards you
Access to Leviathan transformation skills
I guess I was gonna unlock this skill regardless if I discovered my heritage or not. Still, this is incredible, especially the increased EXP for water skills. My Water Magic's max level is higher than the cap for my other skills, so this should help a lot.
But what's this about "Leviathan Transformation" skills? Can I take that same form Eero had? Because it's insane. I calculated it out, and it gives a 150% increase to his STR and DEX, and I'm sure it would've done more if he didn't have that "Cursed" debuff.
Then again, it says skills, plural. So there are other transformations? I'm not really sure how to unlock them since it doesn't give more information on them other than that they exist, but I have the books regarding some history of the Leviathans, and if there's nothing there..
Then I guess the only one who would know is my father, whose corpse is in my inventory. So I'll need to wait until I have some revival ability before I can even try asking him.
How about the items I got…
First one was a light blue gem from the looks of it, taking the shape of a water drop. The second item was a black necklace with a similar colored gem, but a little bigger, this one being diamond-shaped, The final item was a black staff with gold filigree over certain parts of its length, and a shining, deep-blue crystal fixed on top of it.
-Sea Stone
The crystallized mana of a powerful sea creature, Sea Stones could be used as magical batteries, in staff-making, and more.
-Tide Necklace
A necklace with the power of the seas, gifted to those who are worthy and enchanted to increase the user's magical capabilities even further.
Increases Water Magic Damage by 25%, and decreases MP cost of Water Magic Spells by 10%
Gives the user the ability to walk on water
-Staff of the Ocean
A staff used only by the Magical Advisors to the Emperors and Empresses of Poseidra, a powerful magical artifact that controls water.
When wielded, it increases all Water Magic Damage by 75%, but will decrease Water-Based Skills EXP gain by 50%
Special Ability: Blocking malicious magical attacks with the tip of the staff will store magic, and you can then release it in a powerful water stream that deals 250% of the MP stored.
MP stored: 0/75,000
The Sea Stone doesn't have much info, unfortunately, but the other stuff is really good. I'm not a staff person, but I can see how powerful this is. 250% of 75,000 is 262,500 Damage, and last time I checked, Fenrir's HP was 130,000. I could literally one-shot it with a full-powered blast from this, the bastard's bone armor be damned.
The necklace is so good as well. Aside from it looking really nice, the increase and decrease of the damage and cost respectively are incredibly useful. The Water-Walking bit will just add to the cool factor I have.
I'll be a god one day, so it's natural that I know how to walk on water.
Finally, Gacha.
I hesitate slightly before snapping one, a black sword suddenly resting in my grip.
Blacksteel Longsword
A regular longsword made of the powerful metal, Blacksteel
Deals 150 + 3.2xSTR Physical Damage
That's… an OK weapon, I guess. I suppose I can use it as Nahkriin when clearing out the Slaver Rings.
Not bad, but not all that good either.
As for the second item…
Superb Apple
A very delicious apple of the highest quality
Restores 125 HP
I blink a few times at the ripe apple in my hand before snorting.
I think I used every ounce of my Gacha Luck when I pulled Goldbrand.
I jump on my bike, taking a bite from the apple before freezing at the incredible taste. What kind of- holy shit this is amazing. What the hell? Since when did apples get so fucking good?
I keep chewing as I look at the white flesh of the apple, an idea forming in my head. Maybe growing my own apple tree doesn't sound so bad. Hell, I might make some Cider with this.
I swallow and smile. Making alcohol sounds fun. I can sell it too once I max out whatever skill needed, and that's another form of income.
Wait...
Alcohol Golems.
Fuck. Yes.
(Ruby)
When she returned to school, there was a lingering sense of nervousness. She was a lot more confident than before, sure, but she didn't know if that would stay with her when they inevitably confronted her. Ruby has been a little wary, and while getting lightly punished for leaving the school early, that couldn't compare to what happened to her bullies.
They were forced to take classes about respecting others while being not so subtly reminded of the reason for being a hunter in the first place. They were also stuck with cleaning the cafeteria for a week, which Ruby felt a strange sense of happiness when seeing it.
Even then, she was slightly confused, but still on guard. Palli hadn't confronted her yesterday at all, even when they walked past one another in the hallway. Ruby never let her guard down regardless, knowing it'd happen sooner or later anyway, but maybe, maybe they really turned over a new leaf?
Maybe those classes did something? Ruby would rather not interact with her again, so she wouldn't turn down that outcome.
She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, skipping a step as she walked to class. She had to speak to the principal about stuff and was delightfully surprised that he only wanted to ask if she was feeling better, and even apologized for not seeing the bullying sooner, so the hallways were empty.
Ruby lost her smile and narrowed her eyes.
This would be the perfect time to confront her.
Honestly, she'd be very satisfied if they just stopped now, even if Ruby wasn't the target. She's had enough of being pushed around and "punished" for crap she didn't do, and who are they to mess with her anyway? Even before all of this, she never ever talked to them once.
Bullying is stupid. She thought with a frown. Hunters shouldn't bully.
"Rose~" A voice called out, making her sigh. "There you are~"
There goes the "turned over a new leaf" theory. She grimaced slightly, then wore a serious frown, hyping herself up. Be confident and they'll go away. That's what Reid said.
Ruby turned around, noticing that she didn't have her minions with her. "What do you want?"
Her "bully" paused, looking mildly surprised, before frowning slightly.
"Hah, is that how you greet a friend?"
"We're not friends," Ruby replied bluntly. "Never have been, never will be."
Palli hesitated slightly, off-kilter at the act of defiance, and Ruby loved the look on her face, almost smirking. She kept her cool, however.
The blond then scowled deeply, grabbing Ruby by the shoulder. "Listen here you-"
Ruby quickly shoved her hand away, scowling back. "Don't touch me."
"W-what-"
"I've had it with you!" She cut the bully off. "Every day, you and your cronies ruin my day for what? To feel better about yourselves? Is that how pathetic you are?"
Palli took a step back, eyes wide, but Ruby wouldn't blame her, she was surprised at the words leaving her mouth herself. Where did this even come from? All she was trying to do was to stay confident, but it was as though she could finally speak the words she'd been wanting to let out for so long.
"You-!"
"You're training to be a huntress, and what do you do?" Ruby continued, feeling anger boiling over. "Pick on those who are weaker than you? Is this what a hunter should do?"
Palli sneered, grabbing Ruby by the collar. "What the hell are you on about? Since when did you think you could grow a backbone?"
"Since you've pushed me over the edge!" Ruby's scowl deepened as she pushed her away. "I told you; I've had ENOUGH of you and your stupid friends! I won't give in to your dumb 'requests' or do whatever you tell me to do. I'm NOT your whipping girl anymore!"
The blond glowered, looking angrier by the second. "This isn't for you to say, you little bitch. When I tell you to do something, you better damn well do it or I'll-"
"Or you'll what?" Ruby took a step forward. "Hit me? Well, guess what? I'll you hit back."
Palli took a step backward, feeling a little intimidated by her expression, but then her anger got the better of her as she charged at Ruby, throwing her fist at the shorter girl.
Ruby evaded it very easily, because other than the fact that Ruby trained with Yang and Reid, even if the latter case had only been so for a few days, Palli wasn't a good hand-to-hand fighter either,
"Y-you think you're better than me?!" The blond questioned, enraged. "You?! A crybaby that only got here because of her dad?!"
"So what if I'm better than you? The first thing you think to do is bully me?" Ruby narrowed her eyes. "Not try to improve yourself? Don't you see how sad this looks?"
"Shut up!" She screamed. "Just shut the hell up! I won't be scolded by a fucking weakling!"
"What's happening here?!" Another voice calls out, making them both turn to an older man, a teacher Ruby doesn't recognize. "What's with this shouting? Why aren't you in class?"
Palli blinked, then tried to make an act, causing Ruby to almost shake her head in disbelief. She never learns...
"S-sir, she-"
"Nothing." Ruby cut her off, smiling slightly at the teacher. "Nothing happened, sir. We only got into an argument. Sorry for the commotion."
Both looked at her, Palli in shock as the teacher frowned slightly before looking between them. "I see. Well, get to it then. And next time, keep your voices down. You're disturbing the other classes."
"Sorry, sir." Ruby bowed slightly. "It won't happen again."
The teacher nodded at her before leaving them on their own, to which then Ruby frowned again, feeling her anger finally dissipate. Ruby turned around and walked towards her class.
"W-where the hell do you think you're going?" Palli growled. "We're not done here."
"I'm going to class," Ruby replied nonchalantly. "And we are done, just like how I'm done wasting my breath on you."
Not even waiting for a response, Ruby kept walking, feeling a lot better than before, as if some great weight was lifted off her shoulders. She smiled widely at the feeling of accomplishment. That felt incredible, talking back and actually intimidating her with pure confidence. Reid wasn't kidding when he said that this would help.
Once again she owes him for his help.
First, for being her friend, then saving her life and telling her what she always wanted to hear, training her, and finally giving her advice on how to deal with her bullies...
Oh wow, she really owes him a lot.
She frowned sadly, feeling somewhat guilty that she hadn't given as much as he did. True, she saved his life once, but she only did one thing, and he also saved her life, so it cancels out. But what could she do to at least show her appreciation? She racked her brain for anything, then remembered something he once said.
He did say he wanted some sort of a weapon, right? Gauntlets with something else…
Her frown turned thoughtful. But he said he wasn't good with guns, and he prefers close-quarters combat. What could go well with Gauntlets…
Hm… Her eyes then widened as an idea made itself known. Maybe… yeah, that'll work!
Ruby giggled in excitement, feeling butterflies in her stomach. She gets to practice her hobby and give her boyfriend a gift, and now that she had an idea of how the weapon would be like, other ideas began popping up.
She can't wait to start working on it!
(Reid)
Making sure I'm not going too fast, I hit the brakes as I arrive. Thankfully, I asked Ozpin to make sure the area isn't always crowded with people out to get potions, so he dispatched a few hunters to monitor it, but even then, there's barely anyone here right now.
Pretty sure the potions are sold out for today.
I dismount Roc, walking it over as I bring my bike inside through the garage I made recently. I shut the garage door, which is just another Golem, by snapping my fingers. I leave Roc and open a door to the backroom, spotting Velvet on the couch.
She got up to greet me, but as soon as she turned to look at me, her face turns bright red, the blush even reaching her neck. I can feel a lot of embarrassment and awe as stutters, failing to get a word out. I blink in confusion then wave my hand.
"Yo, how's work today?"
"A-a-a-w-well-" She looks away, her bunny ears dropping.
10 Reputation with Velvet Scarlatina [100/100]
Maxed Reputation with Velvet Scarlatina. Affection unlocked
Perk gained
[Pass The Torch] – 100 REP Velvet Scarlatina
This perk will let you borrow a maximum of 5 levels from the partner's skills and add them to your own for 1000 AP, but it only lasts for a minute
Your partner will also be able to activate this perk, borrowing skill levels and add them to their own
Partner Bonus: While fighting together, the perk costs 500 AP less, and any levels borrowed will get five extra levels
...Uh, what? I'm not complaining, but how?
"You good?" I raise a brow at the flustered Velvet, who's still looking away.
"I'm- I'm fine!" She stammers a response. "I-if you'll e-excuse me…"
She walks away to the front of the store, leaving me confused. There was a lot of embarrassment there, but I'm not sure what I even did. Why did her REP increase?
I shake my head and go down to my research room. I have a lot of books, and I can finally do real research for once.
Starting with the Leviathan's History…
(A few hours later...)
As I throw the book down on the table, I let out a long sigh as I lean back. There wasn't anything about how the Empire fell, but there was a lot of information about Eero, which proves that yes, he is my father. It was strange to record this, but it's apparently common knowledge that Eero Delmar and Lyra Astera, my mother, got in a fight over my name.
So after a while, they decided to just give me two names, a Human one and a Leviathan one, exactly like I expected. Reid Astera and Alaric Delmar, my Human and Leviathan names respectively.
Fun fact, but not exactly helpful other than that I now know my mother's name.
The… history, or what's important about it anyway, being Eero's history specifically. Once he was 25 years old, he was ordered to travel around the world to gain experience and wisdom since until that point he had basically been stuck in Poseidra the entire time.
He traveled for five years, falling in love with my mother mid-way, and he was apparently hailed as a hero in the outside world. Saved the world more than once apparently, from a rampaging Dragon King, a very powerful Witch, and funnily enough, a demonic invasion.
Leviathans have this weird rule about killing the previous emperor to take the throne, so he did kill his own father to become the emperor. In the years of his rule, he built up his empire more, and said empire was already a nigh-utopia. After a passage of how the empire was at its "golden age", the book ends there.
And then… nothing. This was the last book I had about history, the twenty-fifth volume. Nothing about the fall of the empire, nothing about what happened to its civilians, and no explanation for the insane soldiers I killed in the dungeon.
I hate mysteries. Just tell me what I want to know already.
On the bright side, I did discover what the "transformations" are. The first one was the "Halfborn" form, which is what Eero used in our fight, and then there's the "Sea Emperor" form, which basically turns me into a Kaiju. A huge serpentine monster, reaching over 250 meters, sometimes even more, with two arms and claws that could cut through Titanium like butter.
They say that only my great-great-grandfather and his grandfather reached this form, and even gods were afraid of it because it also increases the Leviathan's magical pool and power twenty-fold. Yes, it's that insane.
Unfortunately, there's no mention of how to achieve these forms, so I'll need to either discover them myself or wait until I can resurrect Eero.
This is annoying, but I'll be patient. I have a lot on my plate as it is anyway…
And another thing I read that may or may not have made me laugh hysterically for ten minutes straight because, while it's insanely fucking useful, it's also really… uh, how to say this…
Well, you see, Male Leviathans…
I snort, almost laughing. Let me just read the passage.
'While Female Leviathans inherently have more mana, their male counterparts have the ability to grant mana to others, though only females. A Leviathan's semen, while not quite potent, is magical, and will plant a seedling of mana in females of other Leviathans or other races should they be born without a core.'
In other words, if I nut in a girl, I'm literally giving her magic. So unlike the Maidens where Ozpin lent it out, I'm helping them build their own cores, so with time, they can grow their control and overall power out of it.
What the fuck is this shit? What am I, a Hentai Protagonist?
This just means that my eventual harem will be terrifyingly strong. Magic, Aura, and Haki mixed together is already overpowered in Remnant, but if I teach them how to use it with my teaching skills, I'll have bodyguards that can and will put Maidens to shame.
I'm gonna give back magic to this world with the power of cock.
And I'll love every second of it.
Quest added
[Seeds of God-Defying Magic]
Objective: Grant magic to five females
Bonus Objective: Grant magic to ten females
Rewards: 5000 Credits, 5000 EXP, Special Observe Upgrade, 1 Gacha Token
Bonus Rewards: 7500 Credits, 7500 EXP, [Alluring Gaze] Perk
Time Limit: 6 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days
There's barely any rewards for this, but I'll take it. It's a quest literally telling me to go have sex.
Maybe I am a Hentai Protagonist...
I shake my head. I'll return to my research later, Ruby should be here soon for more training.
The System suddenly notifies me of a Scroll Message, from Roman it seems, making me raise a brow in slight interest, but mostly confusion. I told him I'd contact him first, didn't I?
I take out the scroll, frowning slightly at the short message.
Fox: Found something that might interest ya, boss. You know where to meet me.
Too important to say through messages I assume?
I send him my response then get up from my chair, walking towards the door. I open it, revealing a blinking Ruby who had her hand clenched, seemingly wanting to knock on the door. She gazes slightly down and her face turns red before jumping back, yelping as she covers her face.
1 Affection with Ruby Rose [71/100]
"Hey-"
"W-w-w-w-why are you naked?!"
"I'm not naked," I state, looking down. "I'm just shirtless."
Wait, is that why I maxed out Velvet's Reputation? Seriously?!
"S-stop grinning and w-wear something already!" Ruby cries out.
I chuckle, taking a red jacket out of my inventory. "Yeah, yeah…"
Ruby pouts at me, her face still red as she twiddles her thumbs nervously. "S-so, are we training today too?"
"Yeah, but something came up just now," I tell her. "I have a meeting with an… acquaintance right now
"Oh…" She blinks then frowns sadly. "I guess I should've sent a message before coming here, hehe…"
I lean towards her and plant a kiss on her lips, surprising her. "We're not skipping today. I'll be back soon, should only be a few hours at most. You just wait for me here, alright?"
Ruby pauses before saluting with a grin. "Sir, yes sir!"
"Right then." I walk out. "See you later."
As I was about to leave, she grabs me and turns me around, capturing my lips in a surprise kiss. Returning it, I embrace her and pull her closer, deepening it a little. She breaks it off, smiling through a slight blush.
"It's for good luck." She mutters.
...Aww, that's just adorable.
Lover's Wish – 6:30:00
Your lover has blessed you with better luck
Increases LUK by 20
What the fuck?
Almost instinctively, I kiss Ruby to see if I can get a better buff, my eyes on the window that just appeared. I don't know how long I kept it, and while Ruby's moans are fucking with a certain instinct, I almost growl as I see the buff not even changing at all.
Give me another buff damn you.
I pull away, smirking at Ruby's flushed face as she catches her breath. I can sense that she enjoyed this immensely, and I was tempted to do it again, but I'll save it for later. At least she's getting used to kissing.
"It's for good luck."
2 Affection with Ruby Rose [73/100]
It's really difficult to increase someone's Affection, isn't it? Way harder than Reputation for sure.
"What does that even mean?!" She giggles. "I'll just be waiting for you. I don't need luck."
"Good luck having something fun to do." I rephrase my previous sentence, making her groan. "I'll see you soon, Rubes."
"See ya, Reid." She waves back. "I-I love you..."
"I love you too." I wink, then leave the place.
