Chapter 57 57: Hidden Thoughts, Encroaching Darkness!
As Zell walked into the dining room, he couldn\'t help but feel a sense of determination wash over him. His hours of painful training had filled him with a renewed sense of purpose—a powerful desire to fight against those demons who lurked in the shadows with everything he had.
He slowly entered the dining room to see Anya and Tessa sitting on his couch. His dark feelings of murder and death faded to the back of his mind. \'I cannot let these feelings affect me in normal life. Stay focused, make them happy and protect them!\'
"Oh? It\'s Zell, hehe! Hello handsome!"
Anya looked towards him. Her cute eyes, which had become even more golden since last night, glistened from the lap in the corner. Her long glossy blonde hair fluttered with her head\'s movement. She was a cute girl that made his heart thump so quickly; her little nose twitched before she smirked at him and returned to the television.
"Did you spend all day training? You smell so sexy, such a thick manly sweat! Are you going for a shower? Can we watch you?" Anya asked him rapid-fire questions. Only allowing him to grimace before Tessa slapped her head with a book. "Auch!"
Tessa turned her face angrily towards him and gave a faint smile, her silver eyes half open as she glanced at his body before she nodded to herself. "Good training? Your body language is much better than before. I can feel how much effort you put into it!"
Zell looked at her beautiful face without blemishes. Her light brown hair with a hint of silver was parted at the centre and fell to her plump breasts before curling near her waist. She was a sight to behold, just like his cute short-stack lover, Anya, although he would keep those feelings in check.
"Yeah, I felt that, although my body looked good. It was like a fake car with no actual engine. So I wished to prove myself."
The two girls told him about their day; since he was free, he flopped beside Anya and listened. Anya chirped about her day. A young master-type guy and his friends accosted them when shopping. She beat them up and kicked them all out of the store as the other customers clapped at her fantastic display.
"She beat up a few thugs with no skill, pure brute strength, nothing more," Tessa added with a sly grin.
Anya also spoke about visiting her mother, who is the best in the world and that she wished to meet this so-called "Handsome Guy" that her daughter kept going about for almost an hour. When speaking about this, her face blushed, and she played with her hair. \'Will he think I am weird? My mother is an excellent judge of character. I want her to know my boyfriend is super cool!\'
"Haha, I cannot wait to meet your seductive mother or the white witch as you called her," Zell mentioned something from their past chats online. She would call her mother the white witch and complain, but he knew she loved her mother too much.
Zell felt his heart ache during Anya\'s story because he needed to act neutral and like they weren\'t dating. This was not his choice, but Anya realised he also liked her best friend. Tessa would never accept being his second. She would be especially against it for Anya. \'I feel bad for doing this to Anya, but once we are both happy, let\'s make it up to her.\' He thought to himself as Anya\'s hand slid along his thigh.
While Tessa spoke about her day training in the dojo that her father built, she was messaging her sister, who moved away when her mother divorced her father many years ago, to live in America II. She seemed to miss her sister Claire a lot. "Hehe, she\'s different from me and has vibrant blonde hair and huge tits! She makes Anya look like a stick!"
"Hah!? I am no stick; look at these babies!" Anya protested, pushing out her breasts that seemed larger.
"Oh god, did you grow again? You are not a growing girl anymore…. Don\'t get surgery!" Tessa mocked; she also felt changes in her body. But she was not prepared to speak of it yet and only watched the reactions of Zell and her best friend to confirm her theory. \'The game is strange; I can feel that my stagnated swordsmanship started improving!\'
As they sat on the couch, Anya secretly flirted with Zell, stroking his thighs as they spoke. Zell couldn\'t help but feel a surge of desire build in his crotch that bulged. He knew he had to control himself because it was not the time to show Tessa this act. \'Calm down, my flesh lance with deep penetration +11!\'
— "Today, several people died in their homes and seemed to have been mauled by a…."
Tessa changed the channel from the local news. Zell narrowed his eyes upon that report; in his past life, he thought a bear attacked as they reported. Now, though, he could feel it boiling inside him. The desire to hunt lesser demons from his Incubus blood and to rid the world of filth from his crimson dragon bloodline.
\'The demon whelps and imps are here this early? Maybe my changes and what Infra and I have done affected this world.\'
[You are right; this is much faster than before. That includes all worlds and realities we fought them… Be on guard] (Yanfra)
Although Tessa seemed quiet and watched the action movies, a sword fight as a man took on several others as a vampire named Lucifer performed his blade dance. She longed to speak more with Zell; he looked comfortable with that sword in the past. Her idea was to invite him to train at her father\'s dojo. \'Then maybe…. We could develop together! Ah… so romantic!\'
As they watched television together, Zell couldn\'t help but feel torn between his tender love towards Anya and his burning desire for Tessa. He could feel both his bloodlines screaming to make her his. They told him there was something special about her. \'I will choose who I want! Not for some stupid special boon or gift. But because I like her! Shut up!\' His thoughts caused the bloodlines to silence and become quiet. He would never treat these women like tools, although he couldn\'t speak for other women after the end. \'I cannot protect the world. My hands are small; maybe two is my limit right now.\'
"So, Zell," Tessa said, turning to him with a faint smile. "I heard you\'ve been training hard. Do you think you might be interested in joining my father\'s dojo? I think you would be a great addition to our ranks." She brushed her soft hair behind her shoulder to reveal a perfect cleavage that slightly jiggled.
Zell felt hesitant. This was a splendid chance to train with her and become closer. But he knew joining would remove time with Anya, Infra and his other business. \'I need to spend the nights hunting demons and devouring them in the real world. The game system changes when the worlds merge….\'
"I appreciate the offer, Tessa," he said, trying to sound as casual as possible. "Although I cannot promise to join on a full-time basis, how about I train with you there twice a week? Maybe since it\'s almost Sunday, we make the days Sunday afternoon and Wednesday?"
Tessa looked shocked, as she expected a flat rejection. Only a few people cared about this sort of thing. Now a world that lets you enjoy sports and martial arts in VR or games. They no longer needed to practise the skills for years. Her eyes sparkled, and she felt delighted. \'I am so happy… He accepted me and promised me two days! Haha, don\'t act too obvious, Tessa! This is just training, not a date!\'
"Haha, are you okay paying a premium fee? Those days are not class times and my private days! Fufu!" Tessa said, her body leaning forward as she played with her hair. She didn\'t notice her slightly flirtatious atmosphere. Anya felt like the world had ended, and even Tessa became interested in boys!
The evening passed; soon, it would be the time they agreed to play. He suggested Anya party with Rika and Tessa because he needed to do things tonight, and his cute wolf spent too long waiting for him! Looking at Anya and Tessa, he couldn\'t help but feel a sense of longing and desire wash over him. He wanted to hold them both in his arms, to make them happy and to be with them forever.
\'Calm down, Zell, don\'t be like an emotional teen. We can take things to step by step. The first power, then their power. Love and romance come after!\'
[Ah, who the fuck is this new cat! She kicked me away and stole my tuna. Now I ate that bacon and sausage and feel super fat! Damn it, Zell, stroke my belly and make me feel better! Kick out this smelly cat who copied my ears!]
[Please….. Handsome…..stroke…. me.]
Suddenly, a golden-furred tabby cat entered the room with graceful steps and a small piece of fish in her little mouth.
Then, moments later, a silver tabby followed her with a fat belly that wobbled. Zell looked at them both and knew straight away! This new cat was Yanfra! He was sure of it and wondered why these damn lynx goddesses kept coming to his house.
[Bastard cat! Return my tuna!]
[Hehe….. Cute Yinfra... Cry more!]
\'Oh god….\'
