Prologue: Slave Boy Ian
Slap—slap—slap—
In a stuffy inn room in Labyrinth City Eden.
"Ngh… Hn…"
"Ugh… Uuuh…"
The closed room was thick with air so hot it felt suffocating. The bed rocked violently, mingling the pair's ragged breaths and weighing down the space around them.
On the bed.
A red-haired woman straddled the pink-haired boy, her body moving roughly atop him.
"Ahh… Ngh… Arcia… w-wait, just a sec…"
The boy twisted in agony, reaching out toward her. But—
Grab.
Before his hand could touch her, Arcia seized his forearm first.
"Haa… Ian…"
Her red hair cascaded down, a sweet yet thick fragrance invading the tip of his nose. Red eyes. Two eyes glowing妖しく with infused mana stared obsessively down at him.
"I clearly told you…"
Slap—slap—slap—
"Ngh…"
Even as she spoke, she kept shaking her hips.
"…to call me Master."
She pinned both his arms firmly above him on the bed, rendering him immobile.
"Ugh… let… let me go…"
Ian writhed to escape, but it was futile. No matter how hard he strained, he couldn't break free from her grip.
"Fu fu…"
Arcia chuckled lowly, like a child toying with a favorite plaything.
She leaned down slowly, bringing her face right up to his.
"Why do you keep trying to run away?"
A beautiful, melodic voice. Soft tone. But—
To Ian, that softness was more terrifying than anything.
"Running won't help, Ian."
Her finger trailed slowly down his cheek, sliding along his jawline.
"You're already…"
Her red eyes gleamed even more intensely.
"…mine!!"
"Ah… Aaaah…"
In that instant.
Red patterns floated up across Ian's body.
One. Then another.
Like flames spreading, the red slave marks slowly bloomed over his skin.
"Ah… Aaaaah…!"
Ian's body convulsed violently.
Arcia gazed down at him with a satisfied smile.
"Fu fu… yes… that's it…"
She wrapped her arms around his back, pressing their bodies deeply together.
"Ian."
Her voice whispered right by his ear.
"Don't look at other women."
"Don't even think about other women."
She bit his earlobe gently and licked it slowly.
"Haa… slurp… Ian just…"
Her voice pressed so close it felt like it would devour his ear, sending tingles through his brain.
"…needs to look at me. Fu fu fu…"
A low, flowing laugh.
"Forever."
"Ngh!!! Uuugh!!!!"
Under her relentless stimulation, Ian's body shuddered as if reaching climax, trembling even more fiercely.
Unable to hold out any longer, his body arched upward in a convulsive spasm.
"U—gh…!"
Breaths bursting as if about to snap.
Eyes rolling weakly upward.
And—
Ian's vision crumbled into pure white.
The convulsions gradually subsided as strength drained from his entire body.
In the moment all sensation severed.
The last thing he heard was Arcia's low laugh by his ear.
"Fu fu… I love you, Ian. Forever…"
Her sweet voice echoed in his brain, and his consciousness faded completely.
