Chapter Title: God's Atlantis
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I had entered the Moon Hunting Ground.
It was a forest. I wouldn't run into other hunters right away. Upon entry, everyone spawned at random locations.
I checked the notification window that popped up.
Throne: Moon Hunter. The reason the Lord of the Heavens felt uncomfortable about her was simple—she was Artemis, the goddess of the moon.
I had no idea why the Lord of the Heavens disliked her. Maybe it was just typical father-daughter awkwardness, or perhaps something had happened between them.
One thing to keep in mind: you couldn't blindly trust the myths as they were known in the world. In this realm, those myths were more like ancient history. From the gods' perspective, it had been an unimaginably long time ago. Only they knew what had transpired since then.
'Artemis doesn't seem to know about Zeus yet.'
Judging by the Lord of the Heavens' reaction, there was no point in telling her.
I glanced up at the sky.
Even in the bright daylight, the sun was nowhere to be seen—instead, a moon hung there. It was one of the zone's unique traits. That crescent moon always lingered in this area.
'Artemis must be up there in that moon...'
I smacked my lips. I had no clue what kind of beauty Artemis was, but she was definitely one. I wanted to fuck her.
I glanced at Elena, who was scanning our surroundings, then muttered under my breath in the tiniest voice.
"...Lord of the Heavens. If the chance arises... would it be okay if I dared to... fuck Artemis?"
The Moon Hunter was the Lord of the Heavens' daughter. He might smite me for that. But I was prepared. My mouth and dick were itching too much to hold back.
Yet the backlash I feared from the Lord of the Heavens never came.
Was this really how a father talked about his daughter?
I was in awe of the Lord of the Heavens. He treated incest like it was no big deal. Blood relation or not, no one was off-limits. I understood his mindset completely.
"...Lord of the Heavens. Have you ever tried to rape the Moon Hunter yourself?"
From their reactions, it looked like the Lord of the Heavens had indeed tried to fuck his own daughter. Anyway, the guy was something else.
"Eugene. Your muttering's been so vulgar lately."
Elena sighed as she spoke. Her appearance was different from usual. She'd used illusion magic to turn herself into a plain virgin, dressed in ragged adventurer's clothes. She was participating in the hunting competition as my squire.
"Oh, you heard that?"
"I did. Don't forget what our goal is here."
"Of course not."
The grand prize tempted me, but with so many heavy hitters competing, even going all-out might not guarantee a win. I had zero interest in the competition. If not for Elena, I wouldn't have come at all.
"We're here to make sure no incidents arise from the Third Prince's self-staged drama. Protecting him."
"That's part of it, but we're also scouting his faction while we're at it. Even if it means using illusion magic to gather intel."
Elena said it like a vow. I could tell how seriously she was taking this situation.
Fun Human Hunt
📍 Condition: Hunt humans.
⏰ Time Limit: Until the hunting competition ends.
🎁 Success Reward: 3,000 AP per human hunted.
💀 Failure Penalty: None.
Accept the mission?
'This bastard's at it again.'
Killing people here would get me caught immediately, disqualified, and arrested by imperial knights. This was an imperial-hosted hunting competition, after all. With the Third Prince participating, the royals would be extra sensitive.
???
Elena and I walked through the forest. We spotted prey but ignored it and kept moving. Hunting wasn't our goal.
First objective: locate the Third Prince. If it was his self-staged ploy, terrorists would be nearby.
The Lord of the Heavens was rambling now. The guy who usually played the silent type had been chatty ever since.
He really wanted me to fuck the Moon Hunter.
"...Is that so?"
I let the Lord of the Heavens' words go in one ear and out the other.
That's when a black wild boar charged out from the front, red eyes gleaming as it barreled toward Elena and me.
"Annoying."
Crackle.
Manroe.
From my palm, Manroe shot straight ahead. The bolt of lightning struck the boar dead-center. It collapsed to the ground, dead. It twitched a few times, trying to rise, but ultimately keeled over.
I chuckled.
I hadn't even used Astrafe, his signature skill. Just basic Manroe for a lightning blast—no way that gave me away.
"Let's go, Elena."
"You sure know how to make a scene killing monsters. Did you have to use lightning? We should stay low-profile."
"Lightning's convenient."
We wandered the forest. We crossed paths with a few others but didn't chat. All participants were rivals. No time for friendly talk—better to hunt more monsters instead.
But there was an exception.
"Sir Eugene. Long time no see. Who'd have thought we'd meet here? What a stroke of fate."
A familiar beauty appeared.
Ash-gray long hair, black eyes. Porcelain skin. Towering height matching mine, with G-cup watermelon-sized breasts. She smiled at me, a massive zweihänder over two meters long slung across her back.
Seira Arphis.
Daughter of the Sword Duke.
In her white surcoat, she looked far more confident and beautiful than last time.
A stoic female knight stood beside her—not a squire for the competition, but a bodyguard, no doubt.
"Yes. Long time no see, Lady Seira. I'm surprised to run into you here."
"Isn't it fate binding you and me? You've been well, it seems."
"I've been great. You've only grown more beautiful since we last met, Lady Seira."
"R-Really...?"
Seira blushed. Just one compliment, and she was red-faced. Looked like she'd grown even fonder of me in our time apart.
I grinned openly, locking eyes with her. Seira looked burdened and averted her gaze.
"...Who's the woman with you? Not a squire... Elena Valderth. What are you doing here?"
I was shocked. She saw right through Elena's disguise. Unlike my surprise or her knight's tension, Elena didn't bat an eye.
"Impressive. You've gotten stronger since last time, Seira."
"I prepared countermeasures against illusions above all else. Yours are a real pain."
"Heh. Is that so."
Elena laughed nonchalantly. Her attitude toward Seira was subtly different from others. Even with the informal speech, she showed no irritation.
"...Have you two formed some kind of relationship I don't know about?"
Their reactions differed. Elena stayed composed; Seira furrowed her brow.
"A friend I played with as a kid. We did dress-up together."
"A bad connection from childhood. It's nothing now."
Elena and Seira's responses couldn't have been more opposite. I doubted Elena truly saw her as a friend—my gut said no.
"Lady Seira. The Duke and I aren't here for the competition. We entered for a special matter. We'd appreciate it if you pretended not to see us."
"A special matter... Care to tell me what it is?"
"Sorry, Lady Seira. It's confidential."
Seira eyed me—or rather, Elena—with displeasure.
Elena suddenly sidled up to me and gave my back a light push. The skinship was unexpected—she'd never initiated contact before.
I caught on quick. Seira's face turning red then pale made it obvious. Elena had clocked her state and was teasing her playfully.
"As my knight said, we're very busy, so we'll be off. Enjoy the competition at your leisure, Seira."
"...I don't know what's going on, but it seems more important than this silly competition. Let me help."
"No need."
Excited Seira ignored her and followed us. Elena didn't bother stopping her.
It was surprising. I hadn't expected Seira to react so fiercely to Elena.
I sent Elena a quiet telepathic message.
-What's your real deal with Seira?
-Just what I said. ...A cherished bond I can't return to now. But I wanna ask you something too. Seira used to be way sharper. She's softened up—probably because of you. How'd you seduce her? And how far have you gone?
-No pussy yet.
-You madman.
???
We decided to take a break.
Elena and her knight hung back while Seira and I slipped away, entering a shallow cave we'd spotted earlier. We faced each other inside.
"Shall we reintroduce ourselves? Long time no see."
I reached out, gently caressing Seira's cheek. It flushed red instantly. The heat radiated into my palm.
"...Mm. Long time no see."
"I've missed you like crazy... How about you?"
Seira's eyes rolled. Confirming we were alone, she answered softly, voice full of shyness.
"I... missed you too."
I closed in. She shut her eyes. Our lips met. It didn't stop there. Her moist lips parted, and our tongues intertwined.
"Mm... smack..."
My hands moved. One slipped under her top, feeling her soft, massive breast too big for one hand. The other dove into her panties, brushing dense pubic hair before reaching her soaked pussy. My middle finger slowly probed her entrance.
Seira's hand went for my crotch, undoing my pants and stroking my rock-hard cock.
"Seira. Can I strip you?"
"...We have to finish quick. Elena's waiting."
"Not pulling out, huh?"
"......"
Seira bowed her head slightly. The face I glimpsed wasn't that of a bold warrior woman—it was a bitch in heat.
The moment my hands lifted her top and tugged at her pants...
Seira and I froze mid-motion.
Things had gone south. Badly.
