Alex put the [Talent Evolution Fruit] and [Orb of Dual Class] in each of his pockets as they perfectly fit, but he decided to use the [Novice Village Map].
Ding!
[Do you want to use the map? This action cannot be undone!]
"Yeah," there was no reason not to, as once he left this village he wouldn't come back except if he died several times.
Ding!
A new panel appeared, expanding before him and displaying an aerial view of the novice village.
It was a map, far more detailed than anything he had expected.
The buildings, paths, and even forest passages were shown in intricate detail.
Most of the areas were lit up, indicating that Alex had already explored them at least once.
[93% completed]
Only 7% of the map was grayed out, and that small unexplored section was at the farthest end of the forest—the location of the final boss.
"Nice..."
This meant that he had actually explored everything, as this map did in fact show the locations of the secret areas: you could see a small cabin icon at the place where Aris, the silver-skin he had poisoned, had been resting.
But, most surprising of all: a small dot was moving on the map, accompanied by a name above it: [StarPillow].
"Oh!" Alex exclaimed.
It was Alice!
The map allowed him to track her location in real-time.
The small dot moved steadily in the forest, where Alex had expected her to be grinding for experience points.
With a confident smile, Alex closed the map and left the building, fully equipped with everything he needed, wanting to find Alice.
"THE CHIEF'S DEAD!"
"FIND THAT HUMAN!"
He heard the silver-skins shout as soon as he was from a fair distance of them, and couldn't help but smirk.
...
[+Beginner Backpack, +Bear Dagger, +Poison Ring, +37 spirit attribute, +27 strength attribute, +12 agility attribute]
He approached the fruit to his mouth, this time already knowing it would taste good, and ate it with a few bites since it wasn't that big to begin with, roughly the size of his palm.
"Is it good?" Alice asked.
"Yep!" Alex smiled, "If I find another one I'll see if I can make you try it!"
"R-Really?" she blushed.
Ding!
[After eating the talent evolution fruit, you have gained a new perk for 'Extraction'!]
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[Talent Effect #4: Synthesis; Combine items, skills, or abilities to create something stronger, do note that not all items can be merged, and that the more powerful the items, the higher the chance of failure based on your level.]
"Holy..." this was another perk that would allow him to upgrade equipment and skills!
But just as he was getting ready to experiment, another notification appeared.
[Talent Evolution Fruit side-effect: intense desires, not taking care of your urges may cause reduced attributes, and if prolonged may even lead to death.]
Alex felt the effects of the evolution fruit on him instantly, and as he looked at Alice, he noticed that she had already removed all her clothes, revealing her decently-sized breasts to him.
This didn't save her from the roughness of his mighty stick, though, as Alex pinned her to the ground and immediately began to kiss her, inserting his member inside.
He went hard and fast, completely dismissing her previous comment about wanting it not being as intense.
"Ohhhh~" but even then, it looked like Alice enjoyed it more that way as she kept climaxing over and over while kissing him.
After Alex's first climax, he noticed that the floor of the cabin already soaked with her juices.
"Look at you, you keep cumming ten times more than I do..." he grabbed her breasts with his hands.
"I'm sorry~" she pleaded.
But Alex wasn't allowing her mercy.
After an intense hour, Alice lay on the makeshift bed he had created with their clothes.
She was panting, clearly exhausted, but satisfied, her body trembling from the aftermath of their passionate encounter.
Alex, having satisfied both his desires and the fruit's side effects, got up, careful not to disturb her rest.
He still had work to do.
"Let's test out this synthesis thing..."
