I thought I was strong. I was wrong. I always knew Varon and me were different but I didn’t know. I look at a scene that look like a apocalypse. A kilometre of charcoal. That beam. And that wall would be all instant death for me. I also didn’t even sense the red orbs before it was to late. Varon simply ran through it.

After Varon shot of it was just me and Ren here. We were at a loss for that of a fraction of a second before we went into combat mode.

But even then we traverse through broken land for three hours. At first it wasn’t that bad. Some craters here and there. Then we found a 200 hundred meter clearing where all the trees had been cut down. And then approximately 40 minutes of us running at full speed we stopped.

It was like the world had been burned to a crips. Both me and Ren were at a lost for words. Three hours of sprinting and we had only just begun to leave the burned land. The land behind us was smooth as if paved. But the land before us had one giant crater. It seemed to have a radius of 50 meter and a small pool maybe a few meters deep of blood had formed.

But we continued on for another three hours until we found a mark. Ren lead us saying he found some prints to track. One human and one elf. He guess by the imprint of the sole of the foot that the elf was in the adult female weight range or slightly below it.

Maybe because of our careful nature it wasn’t until tomorrow morning that we found a cabin next to the river that we lost for a time had returned to view.

Me and Ren drew our blades and approached the door. Slowly we open it and made our way inside. But we…

were not prepared. Varon was sitting on a girl like she was seat. She had an ecstasy look in her eyes. Other than a big and pointy hat she was absolutely naked. I couldn’t make out her face very well because she had a long fringe of purple hair that came all the way down to her nose. And there was a white liquid running down the side of her leg.

I didn’t understand. No my small child like mind didn’t want to understand. Her clothes were scattered across a shattered bed and the room looked like a fight had taken place. It was at this point that I realised that Varon was not wearing any paints and had his shirt was unbuttoned. He look incredibly focused as he was holding a book in his hands.

He didn’t look up as we came in but said to the girl that “ Looks like their will be no round two. My company is here.” He then stood up and…

it was a mighty spear it was.

She look slightly disappointed but came back to her senses and stood up as he did. Despite her appearance she seem to gain a pleasant feel but in my mind all I could see was her heavy breathing face that she had before. Varon then turned and in weird sense of event she bowed to him and in a loud and clear voice she thanked him.

Varon turned to look at her and said “ follow me home. I don’t have a place for us at the moment but I promise that money will never be an issue for you again”

What the fuck is going on. Did he just propose to her.

She looks him dead in the eye and says with deep voice that fails miserably to hide her excitement “ YES! I would love to.”

I bet you are wondering what is going on and how we went from trying to kill each other to probably the exact opposite. Well after have a nice and interesting discussion about blood and flesh magic we moved onto soul magic. This just happens to be my greatest field. Anyway she started off with questions and I would answer her as clear and as best I could.

She is amazing if I gave her the answer she would mostly get the rest or the reason why on her own with a little prodding. She also came to the conclusions herself if I gave her small hints.

She then asked if I would follow her to her place so that she may get her notes. On the way their I asked her how blood and flesh magic intersected into soul magic and was utterly amazed. It took all of two lines for her to blow my mind away. What she's is trying to do is very simply. Create self conscience life with it own physical form.

After we arrived at het cabin she showed me her formulas as well as a frog that was growing inside a tube. She told me that despite everything she had failed to succeed and that the subject would die before completion. It took me a good twenty minutes to look through here equations and I spotted a single part I didn’t quite get so I asked her if here was the problem. After a few more thought and the passing of ideas between us we found an solution.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

It was a very difficult problem. One that I had faced in the past. Which is way it was so easy for me to help her. She nearly fainted when I showed her my first suggestion. After which she brought out over a hundred papers.

That's right in my grand quest to escape paperwork I have in fact reached the paperwork ending. Because I now had a better understanding of her work it took me all of ten minutes to give my ‘suggestions’ for over thirty papers. I noticed that she didn’t seem angry or hurt no in fact she was thrilled to see improvement.

I ask her if she would be kind enough to help me with one of my problems. I stretched my equations and formulas on the ground in the dirt and pointed to the biggest problem of my soul key design.

Its difficulty in acquiring the materials and it poor half life or shelf time, these are the main flaws in the soul key.

She stopped speaking the moment she saw it. I smiled, she knew what she was seeing was a device that would require the lives of millions to substaine and create and yet she look at it with deep respect and interest. She was smart enough to understand what was before her and the consequences of it and she still only saw the possibilities of its use.

She knew that it was a solution that was needed to enforce the creation of life and mattar on mass. It was a device that creates materials in amount of anywhere between a few cm^3 to entire worlds.

That's right a soul key is quite literally a device that removes the material requirements. But it has a problem it will currently fall apart after a month of its creation regardless of its usage.

I wanted to see how she would deal with it. And she didn’t disappoint me. Her solution was to contain the soul key’s state of existence in wave like particle state instead of one of solid materials. She wanted to build it out of light and use turn it into a solid only when it was in use. It was absolutely genius. It was at this point I decided that this woman was to be mine. Although she wasn’t not mentioned in the novel I need her brain. I wracked my brain to find a way to convince her to work for me but. But I didn’t need to do that.

*******

“ Please teach me!” Sharsha bent her body in a ninety degree so her top half would be horizontal to the ground. Desperation was clearly visible on her face. My sadistic nature took over as I planned to simply beat the bush for a bit before accepting her.

“ A student is a-” but before I could finish she fell into the doza position and begged “ I will do anything. I have been stuck without progress for over forty years and in one hour we have made ten years worth. I don’t know if my answer was satisfactory to your question but know that I will do anything. Anything!” I felt my sadistic side rise to the surface and asked “ Anything?” She with much resolution repeatedly “ Anything!”. I felt the smile grow on my face “ ho I don’t feel that you are as committed as you make yourself out to be. Why don’t you show me your commitment. ” she seemed taken back.

Of course I didn’t intend for her to do anything major but when she put on that half crying and half determined face and started to strip I realized that I was a male. And as a male I have a thing call sexual desire. And that I was very weak to my sexual desires. It's one of my many characters flaws.

After she was naked I told her “ hmmm I’m still not impressed” to which she without hesitation began to pull down my pants. With great expectations riding on my shoulders we had sex. She once again didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for me to find out that she was in truth a bit to into the situation. So I ramped things up as my sadistic side grew in power and authority in my mind as more and more of me forgot the situation and came to indulge in a increasingly violent sex. And the more intense it became the more she got into it. I at this point in time realized that our fetishes were very much in line. And the knowledge that I wanted to own her as a student and thing reach an all time high as I came inside her.

At this point we were hate fucking. There was no other words for it. We broke a table and I was using my super human strength to pound her tight hole in a act that would be quite lethal to a normal elf. Well I used all three of her holes vigorously at one point or another.

And what was surprising was that it went on and on. I was amazed at her. At points she went limp due to fatigue but seemed to comeback during the act.

After 17 hours I was I too reach my limit and she looked like she was in heaven. I collapsed on top of her. She turns her head and says “ Did I pass?” Ok I have emit “ Yeah. With outstanding colors” she smiled gently. Her movements gave of the feeling of her being weak. “ I’m glad. I didn’t think I could take much more a few hours ago. I really over ‘cumed’ my limits today” that night I laughed myself to sleep with a giggling woman in my arms as she continued to make various puns a few were good but most were horrible. But bad puns have a place too.

The next morning I realized we destroyed all furniture and she embarrassingly offered herself. I intend to act on her suggestion leading it into more sex as I assume she did as well. But before we could begin I happened across one of her books that contained her latest theory on how to create elven life or the reason behind the different in pure blood high elves and non pure blood elves lifeforce.

It was amazing and I lost myself in it but I think she enjoyed the neglection play at least. It was also at this point in time that I remember my current objective but decided to wait here for my former company to show up. The possibilities of this were all but endless to me.

I also talked to her about employment and offered her a place to study in my territory. Then we spent a while taking about the content of this book and possible conclusions. She then revealed her lack of funds and shamelessly ask for money which I was more than happy to help. If it was needed I would rob the empires treasury but I didn’t think that would be the case.

Not long after Adria kicked in the door with a lifeless look on her face as Ren gave his silent approval from a distance.
