I grabbed Artemis's wrists and thrust my hips forward. It was doggy style. Every time my cock plunged into her, her black hair and breasts jiggled wildly.
"Ahhng! Ng! I love you! Deeper, thrust deeper! Aaahng!"
Artemis's moans echoed through the entire forest. Wild beasts would occasionally appear, only to catch sight of her lewd form and flee in shock.
I glanced up at the sky.
Dawn was breaking.
I stopped moving and lowered my gaze to take in Artemis's figure. Even in the dim predawn light, her body had seemed radiant, but now in the bright morning, she looked even more stunning.
"Hnggg... What are you doing? Move. Please move..."
When I still didn't budge, Artemis started rocking her own hips. Slap, slap, slap. The sound of flesh meeting flesh rang out. Suddenly, she switched positions, draping her arms around my neck and wrapping her legs around my waist.
I smirked down at her lower abdomen. The womb tattoo etched into her pale skin glowed faintly.
"Hng... Master...!"
Artemis leaned in for a kiss. I toppled forward, naturally pinning her down beneath me as we stood.
"Haahht!"
Even as morning arrived, our lovemaking showed no signs of stopping.
Night had fallen.
Twenty-four hours had passed, meaning Artemis no longer had to obey me. The reward for our sixth duel had been her virginity and a full day of serving as my slave.
She and I lay in bed. Even after the time was up, Artemis snuggled into my right side, quietly acting coquettish.
I lazily kneaded her breasts as I finally checked the system alert I'd been putting off.
The Yustia Imperial Family wouldn't look kindly on me. Their desired winner had been the third prince. Still, they wouldn't dare harm me—not with Elena backing me up.
"...Yu-jin. Are you leaving now?"
Artemis asked quietly. My hand was still fondling her breast. It was soft yet springy—utterly addictive.
"I have to. I'm an exile, remember."
"You don't have to go. Stay here with me. Even after Atlantis ends, I'll protect you. I have the power for that."
Artemis could pull it off, just as she said. She was the Moon Goddess, one of the famed Twelve Greek Gods.
"No can do. I've got things to take care of."
"...You're so resolute. But that resolve is hot, too..."
Her face drew closer. She kissed me, our mouths naturally parting to share saliva.
As much as I hate to say it, Artemis seemed totally smitten. Maybe because I'd taken her virginity.
"Artemis. What about Orion? He looked ready to kill me earlier."
"Orion? We're nothing to each other anymore."
Mmwah.
As Artemis kissed me, she shifted her body, climbing back on top. The girl who'd been a virgin until yesterday now stroked my cock with seductive hands. Once it hardened, she guided it into her pussy without hesitation and began bucking her hips.
"Ng, ahng, aaahng! Aaaahng!"
Orion couldn't do a damn thing about it. Aside from watching from the heavens above.
I enjoyed Artemis's pussy while checking the remaining alerts.
Moon's Blessing. Insane buffs. It wasn't permanent, which was a shame, but plenty strong as a trump card.
'The real kicker is the trait and skill rank-up over the physical boost.'
And becoming lord of the Moon Hunting Grounds? Music to my ears. The alert had popped when I took her virginity— the moment she submitted.
"Aaahng! Ng! Hnggg!"
Squelch, squelch, squelch.
Artemis rocked her hips atop me. Moonlight made her skin shimmer softly. The pink womb tattoo on her lower belly looked adorable.
"Artemis. Wasn't the imperial family the lord of this zone?"
I'd assumed so, since they'd hosted the tournament here.
"Nng, no. I just lent it out temporarily via system mediation—for a price. I liked the idea of a hunting tournament, too. Haaaahng! I'm cumming! Hnggh...!"
She collapsed onto me. Stroking my face with one hand, she gazed at me dreamily. Squelch, squelch. Her hips kept moving.
"Yu-jin. You'll visit sometimes once you're out there, right?"
"Artemis. Why not come with me outside the zone?"
"I'd have done it if I could... But restrictions keep me here."
Most deities couldn't leave their zones at will. System rules. If powerhouses like her could wander freely, Atlantis would descend into chaos.
"That's a shame."
"Still, there must be a way. Until then... don't die."
"No worries there. And I'll drop by now and then. As zone lord, teleport scrolls make it easy."
Squelch, squelch.
We tangled until late into the night.
Leaving Artemis behind, I exited the hidden zone.
Imperial knights awaited at the entrance.
"Sung Yu-jin of Aplan Legion. Is that you?"
The knight asked in a stiff tone.
"That's me."
"We await by order of the palace to escort you. First, congratulations on your tournament victory. Your prize awaits at the palace. Please come with us."
There were over ten knights—each an elite, tough to take solo. They didn't seem eager for a fight, though.
"Waiting here? Quite the treatment."
"The tournament's end sealed off Zone 2,350. Entry requires a special item: the Moon Seal. All inside were forcibly ejected post-tournament—everyone except you."
I hadn't been ejected because I'd become Zone 2,350's lord. Even without that, my ties to Artemis would've spared me.
"Congratulations on claiming Zone 2,350. Truly impressive. The imperial family tried conquering it three times and failed."
No dodging that. I shrugged.
"Got lucky."
"Luck is skill. Someone in the family takes great interest in you."
"Prince Kidin Yustia?"
"Not him."
"Figured as much."
This knight was likely the second prince's man. If not the third, it had to be the second. The crown prince wouldn't act so openly.
"Before the palace, I'd like to report to Duke Valderte."
"We've already sent word to His Excellency. Just accompany us to the palace."
"...You know I'm with Valderte."
"Yes. We addressed you as Aplan Legion for appearances, but if that's inconvenient?"
"This is Yustia territory, and the palace is Yustia imperial. Treat me as a Valderte knight."
"...Understood. Sir Yu-jin."
The rigid knight eyed me curiously. Easy to read: treating me as Valderte meant playing politics. A palace knight, used to the filth, found my dive into the muck odd.
'I know limbo positions just get you squeezed from both sides. Better than being ignored, though.'
I wouldn't linger at the palace anyway.
I followed the knight to the palace.
I met Elena at the palace entrance. The knights blinked in surprise before bowing to her.
"We greet Duke Valderte."
"Well done escorting my knight. I'll take it from here. Dismissed."
"...But, Your Excellency, Prince Herix ordered us to bring Sir Yu-jin."
"I'll deliver him to Prince Herix. Satisfied?"
"......"
The knight bowed and withdrew.
In the Yustia Empire, Elena's authority outranked the princes'. Only the emperor held higher.
I walked the palace corridors with her. The marble floors felt nice underfoot.
"Had fun with the goddess?"
Elena teased with a lilt. Hard to tell if genuine or acting.
"Thanks to you, I beat her."
Elena had aided me in the sixth duel. Without her, Artemis would've won.
"You're unbelievable. Turning a goddess duel into a fling the moment I look away... Can't stay out of trouble, huh?"
"It just happened. ...You okay?"
Her illusion to help me—manipulating reality's laws—must've cost her dearly.
Elena walked silently a moment before replying.
"Fine. Coughed up a bit of blood, is all. Half a year of lifespan. Yeah, just that."
"...Caught me off guard. Didn't expect you'd burn lifespan for me."
"Goddess duel, right? Losing probably meant death. I don't want you dying now. Plus, what you've done for me... Half a year is cheap."
I sighed.
Half a year—understated, no doubt. Even Elena couldn't calculate her lifespan precisely. Likely more.
"Be straight. How's your condition?"
"...A bit dizzy. Fine by morning."
"You use lifespan too casually. Under twenty years left?"
"Something like that."
I stared at Elena striding confidently ahead, her hair swaying.
Lately, she seemed to be pushing too hard.
"How about easing up?"
"Spare the nagging. Seize chances with everything you've got."
Her tone sharpened slightly.
Elena wouldn't listen regardless. Stubborn as she was. I changed topics before her mood soured further.
"Where's Seira?"
"At my mansion."
"Your mansion? What about Arphis Villa?"
"Waiting for you. Driving me insane."
Her gruff words belied the faint, ambiguous smile tugging at her lips.
