Alex stumbled down the stairs, his senses overwhelmed.
Every sound, every scent, seemed heightened, honed in on a single, primal urge.
His gaze darted to the couch where Alice sat, engrossed on the TV.
She looked up, a smile spreading across her face as she saw him.
That smile was a beacon, drawing him in with irresistible force.
"Hey," she said.
"Hello-" The word caught in his throat, unable to form a coherent response.
His eyes locked onto hers, a storm gathering behind them.
He could see the confusion flicker across her face, replaced with a curious, playful grin.
"You seem a little distracted," she teased, standing up.
She clearly seemed to want to have sex as well.
Before he could speak, he was crossing the space between them, his hand reaching out to cup her cheek.
Her skin felt like silk beneath his touch, sending a shiver through him.
"Alex?" she blushed, expecting a kiss.
He didn't answer, his focus narrowing to the curve of her lips, the way her chest rose and fell with each breath.
He leaned in, his lips capturing hers in a kiss that was both desperate and hungry.
His fingers traced the line of her buttocks, feeling the warmth of her skin beneath his touch.
Ding!
[You have started taking care of your urges.]
[The curse is slowly removing itself from your body, continue like this.]
He pulled away, his eyes blazing with a raw desire that frightened even him.
"Alice..." he groaned, his voice rough, "I need..."
He didn't bother finishing the sentence.
He ripped her shirt open, his hands moving with a practiced urgency.
She gasped, surprised by his sudden aggression, but his touch was so dominant, so possessively needy, that she couldn't help but let herself be taken.
He held her close, and then, he inserted his member inside while they were still standing.
"Isn't~~ It~ harder~ than~ before~~?" she gasped between moans, her body climaxing after each thrust.
"..." Alex didn't speak.
At this point, his vision was flooded, all he could see was Alice, and the panels that appeared beside her.
[Take her.] Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr
[Show her who's boss.]
[She can't win against you.]
They kept appearing and then leaving, but Alex ignored them.
He moved with a savage intensity, driving deep into her, again and again.
She gasped, her breath hitching with every thrust.
"Alex," she moaned, her voice a mix of pain and pleasure.
[Toxic forest is available now!]
[Dude, even without the mist, the monsters there are still too strong!]
[Speak for yourself, peasant, I have an S-Level talent, so I'm already at Bell City!]
[Bell City? Is that the next city?]
Players were discussing among each other, some flexing their new items as well as their points.
[Guilds] had also joined the forum, meaning that a new section appeared specially for them to post, possibly to recruit new members and display their feats.
[The 'Striker' Guild is the one that scored the most amount of points in the event!]
[The 'Overlord' Guild is the first to reach Bell City, though!]
It was fun to see them fight one another, and so Alex spent twenty minutes doing that.
"Alright, I'm ready," Alice ate breakfast and got dressed.
The clothes you have in real life are the ones that you teleport into when inside [Universal Descent], though it didn't matter for people like Alex, who were wearing a full body armor.
[Do you want to teleport inside of 'Universal Descent'?]
"Yes," both Alex and Alice nodded, and they were both teleported to the game.
...
Alex was teleported right in front of the gates of Bell City, since he had left there, while Alice was placed not far away, at the edge of the [Toxic Forest].
She had left the game after Alex was taken by Alphox to [Undead Land] and hadn't touched the game for more than a day since as Richard, her father, had called for dinner.
Seeing her not beside him, Alex immediately opened up his [World Map] and teleported to where she was, since both edges of the [Toxic Forest] were some of his [Fast Travel] points.
"What-" Alice was taken aback once seeing him teleport out of nowhere.
'Oh, right, she never saw me use Fast Travel,' Alex thought, grinning.
"How did you do that? I'm pretty sure I saw you in Bell City on the map..." she asked, as she also had access to the [World Map] from the party.
She could see it, but she couldn't [Fast Travel] or use any of its big features, though.
"Don't mind it, come close," Alex gestured, and Alice listened, hugging his arm.
He didn't know if what he was about to do would work, but it was always good to test out stuff.
He opened his [World Map] again, then clicked on the dot of [Bell City].
[Do you want to teleport to 'Bell City'?]
"Yes."
A flash of blue light surrounded him and Alice, and in a few seconds, the two of them appeared right in front of the city.
"W-What the hell?!" Alice was shocked, looking around.
"Nice!" Alex was overjoyed, "So it works with people too, huh."
This meant that he could teleport Alice and other people if needed in the future, an overpowered ability for sure!
"What happened?"
"Fast Travel," Alex explained how it worked, "Just think of it as a way to move to different locations easier."
"Wow! Can I use it too?"
"Huh, no, but don't worry, I'll make sure to carry you wherever I go, little fox," he touched the [Fox Ears] on her head, and she blushed.
Back to seriousness, though, Alex looked around, noticing the hundreds of players leaving the [Toxic Forest] to enter [Bell City].
At this rate, it wouldn't take much more time for 'him' to appear.
