Lord Lucian (1) - A Woman Who's Something Special
Lord Lucian (1) - A Woman Who's Something Special
Crackling, crackling.
Inside the dark cave, a small bonfire flickered with a reddish glow.
"......."
Rose hugged her knees tightly with both arms,
Staring blankly at the afterimage of the burning flames.
It's warm.
A silence where nothing could be heard but the sound of wood burning. In this quiet, she just wanted to close her eyes and think of nothing.
But beyond her empty gaze, the black-haired man, Lucian, leaning against a rock on the opposite side, came into view, and Rose hastily buried her head between her knees.
"Are you feeling a bit calmer now?"
A gentle voice echoed off the cave walls.
"......I'm sorry."
She was ashamed. So humiliated that she couldn't lift her head.
Because she remembered the words and actions she had uttered just moments ago, atop the ruined ashes.
- Please accept me. Please... hold me. Please...
A woman who had been wailing like a beast in front of the horrific deaths of her comrades, begged for copulation like a bitch in heat.
Now that her reason had returned, it was a bizarre and disgusting act that sent shivers down her own spine.
- ...For now, it might be best to move somewhere else.
Lucian had said this, conscious of the presence of people he sensed outside the Entertainment District.
But Rose, whose brain was pickled in Lust, took his words to mean, 'He'll hold me as I wish in a quiet place.'
So, when she was once again embraced in Lucian's firm arms and soared into the night sky,
Rose rubbed her body against his chest,
And with just the friction of the wind and the man's body heat,
She couldn't hold back and reached climax in mid-air.
- Haa... haaat... Eugh...!
As they flew through the sky, sticky love fluids must have splattered down her thighs and fallen to the ground.
What if someone passing by had been caught in that lewd rain? ......Let's not think about that.
As she slowly lifted her flushed face, Lucian merely offered a gentle smile, unaware of her inner turmoil.
The moment she met his clear eyes,
The settings from the novel of her past life, which she had completely forgotten, overwhelmed by Cassian's brutal violence and pleasure, resurfaced.
'Right. Originally, the Lords of this world were such beings.'
Noble beings who, based on their immense innate mana, defeated Magical Beasts and monsters, protecting the powerless commoners.
True Dominators who received the awe, respect, and love of the people, converting those positive emotions back into their own power.
'...And Guardians are.'
Protectors who inherited that great power and carried out the Lord's will on the front lines.
After staring at the sparks of the bonfire for a long time,
Rose finally made a firm decision and lifted her head.
"Please... make me your Guardian."
The air in the cave seemed to stop for a moment.
A deep question arose in Lucian's eyes.
But he soon read the emotions on Rose's face. The reason she wanted power. Anyone, not just him, would understand.
"Becoming a Guardian won't allow you to face a bastard like Cassian. There's a greater gap between a Lord and a Guardian than you can imagine. I understand your resentment, but forget about revenge."
"I know. But... Guardians can become that strong, too, can't they?"
Rose didn't back down.
"The more Magical Beasts and monsters we defeat, the more we absorb their mana, the stronger we become, right? There are definitely Guardians who have surpassed their limits and become as strong as Lords..."
Lucian's brow furrowed slightly.
Among commoners, many don't even know of the existence of Lords and Guardians.
Not to mention the fact that Lords use mana and can create Guardians with that power.
But even if that much could be heard through rumors,
A prostitute who knows stories of Guardians becoming as strong as Lords by absorbing mana?
"...I don't know where you picked up such stories. But what's important is that a Guardian is a shield that protects the powerless in place of a Lord. It's not a trivial power to be granted for personal, shallow revenge or murderous intent."
"Even to get stronger, I'll kill Magical Beasts. I'll hunt and slaughter them indiscriminately. Then I'll be protecting people, won't I? Please... I can't stand doing nothing like this..."
A desperate expression and voice.
These were familiar to Lucian.
He knew all too well what fate awaited Guardians rashly created by being swayed by such pleas.
"Wielding mana isn't just about anger or will. If a weak woman like you rashly confronts Magical Beasts and loses her life, the mana I've given you will simply be stolen by the Magical Beasts. I don't make such reckless gambles."
"I'm special."
Rose staggered to her feet.
"I'm not just some weak woman you find on the street. I... I have a special ability."
As soon as she finished speaking,
Rose unleashed all the skills and passives of the [Lust] System imprinted on her soul to their limits.
Paaaat.
"...!"
The air in the cave instantly turned sticky.
A subtle sheen enveloped Rose's fair skin, and the sweet, alluring scent emanating from her body swallowed the acrid smoke of the bonfire.
An overwhelming sensuality, as if the surrounding space would distort just by her standing still.
Lucian's eyes widened.
'This ability... no, what exactly is this woman?'
It wasn't mana.
The energy emanating from her body now was something alien, completely unrelated to combat or destruction.
It was an unknown power, never seen before, that even a Lord who had lived for ages couldn't comprehend.
Lucian stared intently at Rose.
Beautiful.
If he were an ordinary man, he would have already lost his reason and lunged at her like a beast.
'Am I also being captivated by this woman's charm, caught in lust, and about to make a wrong judgment?'
Lucian calmly checked his inner self.
No. He felt no lust at all right now.
He was merely feeling pure curiosity about the 'unknown power' the woman before him possessed.
'It might end up with me offering mana to some low-level Magical Beast. But...'
Lucian thought as he looked at Rose's eyes, which were a mixture of sadness and anger, yet brimming with sensuality.
Not noble and great beings.
There must surely be people at the bottom who only she, with such bizarre power, could save.
For once, he felt like doing something reckless.
So Lucian nodded.
"...Alright."
"Ah... then...!"
"But there are things you must keep in mind before gaining power."
Lucian dropped his smile and looked at Rose.
"You must protect the powerless from Magical Beasts."
"Yes."
"You must not retreat in the face of fear, but fight back."
"Yes. I will."
"And."
Lucian's voice grew heavier.
"You must not use the power I bestow to satisfy personal greed or to oppress others."
"......."
The final promise didn't come immediately.
She clearly wanted power now out of a desire to smash that bastard Cassian's face. Would that be using this power for personal gain?
'No. He's a mad bastard who torments innocent people. Destroying such a bastard is a Guardian's duty to protect people.'
"...Yes. I won't do that."
"If you break these vows... I will personally take your life and reclaim the mana."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Lucian rose from his spot and approached.
Beyond the flames, his massive shadow enveloped Rose's small body.
"To bestow the power of a Guardian, I must directly inject my magic into your heart, the source of mana. I ask for your understanding in advance. I will place my hand on your left breast."
"Yes... It's fine. Please do."
Rose closed her eyes with a determined expression.
A body that had spread its legs for hundreds of men. Touching her chest was something that didn't even need to be mentioned in advance.
But the moment Lucian's palm gently cupped her left breast through the thin fabric of her clothes,
"Ah... haaat...!"
Rose's eyes snapped open.
From her chest, where Lucian's hand touched, a pleasure like being struck by lightning coursed through her entire body.
...It wasn't a transfer of mana.
It was the curse Cassian had left behind. Her sensitivity, ten times that of an ordinary woman, reacted to a single touch.
"Hmph, haaang...! Ah, aaah...!"
Rose tried to hold back. She bit her lip until it bled, trying to endure.
But her brain, pickled in pleasure, paralyzed her reason.
Rose unconsciously grabbed Lucian's wrist.
"...??"
As a flustered Lucian paused, Rose pulled his hand towards her mouth.
[Lick]
She extended her tongue and licked his fingers.
[Suck]
She drew them in between her red lips.
[Chup, Slurp. Sluuurp]
And then she frantically sucked on the fingers in her mouth. Her eyes half-glazed, her head swaying back and forth, drooling from the corners of her mouth.
"......"
Lucian, unable to watch the lewd caress any longer, pulled his hand away.
Rose's face, deprived of something precious, was as desperate as a baby whose mother's milk had disappeared. But her body, far from the innocence of a child, was sensuality itself.
Rose's hands, deprived of something to touch, kneaded her own breasts. She rubbed her legs together, spilling wet love fluids.
"Hold me... Touch me, please... Lucian-nim..."
"Is this also... part of that special ability you spoke of?"
As Lucian, who had taken a step back, quietly asked,
Rose wept, unable to stop her hands from exploring herself.
As if her body and reason had completely split apart.
"Ah, no... Hmph, this... this is because of Cassian. He made my body... into this monster... haa-eut..."
Lucian's gaze grew cold at Rose's sobs, mixed with shame and pleasure.
"...If it's Cassian's doing, then I can help you..."
Lucian extended his hand.
From its tip, dazzling white mana erupted and enveloped Rose.
"Aaah...!"
Rose's body swayed violently.
A burning sensation from deep within her womb.
A feeling as if a storm was raging inside her body.
Soon, the maddening lust that had been boiling over slowly subsided, and she felt the lewd fog that had filled her mind begin to clear.
"Haa... haa...."
Rose gasped for breath and collapsed onto the ground.
Her reason had returned.
However... for some reason, the throbbing in her lower body and the tingling in her chest hadn't completely disappeared.
"Each Lord has a different nature in how they utilize mana. Cassian's specialty is manipulating others' minds and corrupting their bodies... In that regard, I can't match his ability. So, I won't be able to completely eradicate the manipulation Cassian inflicted on your body."
Rose could feel it too.
The insane lust hadn't completely vanished.
However.
If just moments ago she was a 'monster driven mad by Lust,' losing her reason and craving only copulation, now she was merely a 'sensual woman who was a little more sensitive than others.'
Her lower body still got wet when she smelled a male's scent, but at least it was at a level where she could endure without losing her reason.
"...Thank you. This much... I can bear."
Rose staggered to her feet and stood before Lucian.
"Now... please give me power."
Lucian hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand again and placed his palm on Rose's left breast.
"Hmph...!"
Rose's shoulders twitched violently.
The suppressed pleasure once again reared its head, stimulating her entire body with a thrilling sensation.
Sticky love fluids flowed down between her legs again.
She tried to endure somehow, but her knees buckled and her waist twisted uncontrollably.
In the end, Rose once again grabbed Lucian's hand, which was resting on her chest.
"Rose. You must endure. If you do this, you'll..."
"Lucian-nim."
Rose looked up at Lucian with tear-filled, flushed eyes.
She was no longer a monster.
She was merely a sensual woman craving the man before her.
"Just one time...."
She whispered, pulling Lucian's hand deep into her cleavage.
"If you hold me just one time... I think I can really endure well."
