'It should be this place.' Rain says to himself. He stare at the unassuming Motel.
He take out his e-cigs from his denim jacket and put it in his mouth, he inhale it deeply.
A sweet vapor fills his mouth and lungs before he exhale it quickly.
'Sweet as always.' He thought as he walked to room 05 on the ground floor.
He knock 3 times and pause for few moment to knock for 4 more times. It's a simple door knock code, to let them know that it is him.
Soon the door open. Within a dim light inside the room, a silhouette of slender woman with hourglass figure, greet Rain.
"Took you a while" She said lazily. She let him inside the room and lock the door.
"Sorry Claire... I got to deliver something before coming here" Rain greet back. He stare at her as she walk to single double-bed in the room.
The dim bedside lamp finally illuminate her figure. Bright green eyes, straight blond hair down to her back, massive rack that cannot be hidden with her bathrobe, and nice
wide hips, clearly someone who already brought a new life in this world.
However, the most interesting part is her pointy ears, she's half-elf.
"I got the skill book you wanted, it's there near the TV... but... you know what to do first..." Claire says seductively as she undo her bathrobe.
Her 100cm H-cup breast, 60cm waist, and 93 cm hips are revealed in the dim light.
"You're still a slut... Claire" Rain says with no hint of lust as he unbutton his jacket, showing off his simple white T-shirt, black jeans and his massive bulge.
"You don't get to complain after fucking me with that thing" She say as she laid on the bed.
"Fine... fine..." Rain says with exasperation as he approach the bed and take off all of his clothes except his white shirt and boxer.
Climbing on top of the bed, with no sense of hurry he finally take it off.
He position himself and spread her legs open. Under the dim light, her entrance already glistening wet. She's clearly already play with herself while waiting for him.
Rain didn't think much further as he guide his hard and erect manhood to her wet slit. Slowly penetrate her, stretching her apart as it went deeper inside.
"Damn, tight as always..." Rain couldn't help but to comment.
He lean forward and kiss her lips gently, before slowly deepening it and let their tongue dance together passionately. She didn't reject the advances but rather respond with equal fervor.
As the kissing deepening, he begin to move his hip and slowly but firmly start to pound her pussy. She wrap her legs to his hips, and arms on his neck. They embrace each other tightly.
Rain continue his slow and deep pace. They enjoy each other company as the time flow slowly. No sense of rush. They only enjoy their act as much as possible. They continue to kiss, they only stop to breathe before continuing again.
Slowly but surely his climax getting near, the sensation build-up and he thrust faster, Claire didn't protest but rather encourage it. She dig her nails on his back and pull him closer as the thrust become rougher.
Soon both of them reach their first climax. an explosion of lust and primal desires ignited brightly.
Rain didn't bother to stop or even to pull himself out, he continue his thrust and ride through another orgasm together. Soon, they lost count how much they came, the bed become damp from sweat and other fluids.
After countless of orgasms and exhaustion, Claire cuddle closely with him. They fall asleep in each other arms.
***
In a world full of magic and technology, where the boundary between fantasy and reality is blurred. The existence of demi-humans is a norm, where half-human and half-elves are treated the same, where centaur are treated as an athlete, and where a catgirl or a werewolf is treated just as any human being. A world where magic exist alongside advance technology.
A world where a man named Rain Maxwell, born with a body full of curse, where his life become nothing more than a tool.
"Rain... why don't you visit our son and daughter for once?" Claire says casually as she starts to dress up in the motel.
"And get beat up by your husband?" Rain reply back quickly, knowing Claire tease him like usual. He continue, "Beside that... I think they're much better with your husband as their father figure... who would want their dad as deadbeat and low rank Ascendance?"
Rain sit on the bedside and smoke his e-cigs, he inhale it deeply before slowly letting it out.
"You should treat him well, it's rare to have good husband like him... despite knowing they're not his own blood and flesh children, he loves them very much." Rain sigh loudly.
Claire scowling at him for a moment before turn to smirks at him. "Yeah yeah yeah, enough praising my husband... and is not like I really wanted this either... Mana crystal has become really expensive lately and I need more of it to maintain my body... elf or elf bloodline need constant supply of mana if they live outside Tree of life otherwise they would suffer Mana withdrawal... and it's really painful experience, they or me would experience something like being burn alive, yet still living... you should've know it already."
Rain simply nodded. he's also aware Claire household condition.
She's quite rich, but not rich enough to buy constant mana crystal easily.
Being Ascended mid rank, together with her husband in similar rank made them quite easily earn money through dungeon diving.
However, Claire since childhood always dream about living near Tree of life or even the sapling of tree of life is fine too. But due the house market kept increasing each passing year, she's constantly trying to reach the moving goalpost by spending less in mana crystal.
She had to use the old method, either by drinking blood, breast milk, or lovemaking session with someone with high mana quality.
Why so perverse? no one really know, many did try other much simpler thing like pressing their palm on someone who need mana. It worked but the successful transfer percentage is only 20%, while the rest of 80% leak out into the air. Doing those 'perverse' thing is the easiest method until present time.
Rain despite being low rank Ascendance are quite lucky enough to have innate pure mana in high quantity. He's akin to walking, living mana crystal that always resupply.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
He would time to time sell his blood to hospital or anyone who needed, but the easiest to sell is simply being gigolo.
His small figure and having a fair skin, especially with his youthful looks that borderline feminine androgynous type, is all due his high quality and quantity mana inside his body.
It made him a bit easy to sell his body to some ladies, of course with fair share of some gentlemen as his clientele.
But Claire is not one of them, she's his childhood friend, ex-girlfriend and even ex-fiance. It was a distant romance for him, both of them already numb and simply took tacit agreement to help each other regardless their own relationships. Money is money, all it matters.
"Don't forget that Tamer skill books... it's really hard to get it. I had to use many of my elf kin connection." Claire says as she done dressing up herself and about to go out from the motel room. "Take care yourself Rain..." Then she left.
"Thanks Claire, you too." Rain says as she leave. He then grab his own clothes and start dressing up.
'Time for me to visit a Ascendance guild...' He says in his mind.
***
A towering building structure in sight, the style is mix medieval castle with modern touch. Making it very unique in the center of this city. It's also a landmark for new Ascendance.
Rain arrived at Ascendance guild during the lunch time. The queue still really long as always regardless of time.
He pulls out his e-cigs and inhale it deeply, then slowly letting it out. 'time to queue then.' He resigned to his fate of long queue.
After 3 hours of boredom, finally it's Rain turn. He immediately walk to the receptionist with his number ticket.
"Please your ID card and your purpose in here." The receptionist says with cheerful voice and smile plastered on his face like a robot. Life of service worker sure ain't easy.
Rain give him his ID Ascendance card and says, "I want to learn skill with skill book that I have."
The receptionist grab Rain ID card and scan it. "Ah, Ascendance Rain... and of course... please pay fee for it first. It's 1000 Union Dollars."
'fucking bloodsuckers.' Rain eyes twitch and couldn't help but to curse inside his mind despite already knowing how expensive it is before.
This wasn't Rain first time using the Ascendance Guild service to learn skill from skill books. Previously he learn skill [Appraisals] from skill book he purchase.
The first time he heard how expensive the fee, he almost being embarrassed for not having enough money to pay for it. Thankfully one of his old friends working at Ascendance guild. They cover the remaining fee for him in exchange for something.
Today, Rain is already prepared, he already had enough saving to pay the fee. He give the receptionist his debit card and let him slide on banking scanner.
But then a red beep popped out from the machine. "Uhm... it seems your balance is not enough sir Rain."
"WHAT?" Rian quickly shout. "it should have enough balance for it! before I came here, I check the balance... it should have 1010 inside it."
The receptionist check it again and he smile helplessly. "I'm sorry sir Rain... it's my mistake that I misread the fee service. The second time to learn skill from skill book required about 2000 UDs... uhm, since it's harder to inprint the more skill you have. The data from your ID card showing that this your second time."
"UWHAT!?" Rain shout again. Shocked to hear it that something like this exist. "I thought it's constantly the same... I don't remember about increasing in fee for second time!?" He says quickly.
"It's recent change, about 2 months ago due high number of Ascendance and rising price in economy." The receptionist says with smile but he's clearly helpless in this change too.
Rain cover his face with his both hands and sigh loudly. He felt like he want to scream but tried his best to hold it inside.
With not much choice Rain had to use desperate option.
"Can you call Remillia? she's someone who work here... I think I need her help to... cover the remaining fee." Rain says honestly to the male receptionist.
The male receptionist look at Rain, then smile awkwardly and says, "I'll call her... it might take some times since I don't really know her. Please wait for 10 to 15 minutes." Then he walked to the office area of the guild and make a phone call.
After waiting for 15 minutes. The male receptionist back and accept Rain procedure to earn skill from skill book. He guide him to one of the chamber inside the long hallway deeper inside the Ascendance guild.
"Please wait inside, Magician would come to your room in 5 to 10 minutes to help you learn skill from your skill book." The male receptionist said with small bow before leaving Rain alone.
***
Thankfully Rain didn't have to wait long as few minutes later someone enter the magic chamber.
Rain turn to look at the entrance and he couldn't help but to frown before quickly change his expression to blooming smile.
"It's been a while... Remillia" Rain says cheerfully.
She look at Rain and smile brightly at him too. However, with her pale white skin, red blood eyes and red rose hair ended giving Rain a deathly chill that made him shivers.
"Been a while too Rain... and also, you should call me Guild Master here." Remillia says, her voice is so alluring like a siren song. But Rain knows, behind her alluring voice a monster waiting behind the veil.
Her small figure is equal to Rain, her looks similarly youthful but the deathly aura and smell of blood cannot be hidden behind her rosy perfume. She's after all a Vampire bloodline.
"I'm here to help you learn your skill and of course... asking for my payment of 1000 UD, about how you paid for it." Remillia snap her finger and the door close shut behind her. The room become more chilly as Rain shivers more.
"Uhm... I'll pay it back later... I promise... also it should 990 since I have 1010 ealier in my bank." Rain says nervously, he unknowingly step back as Remillia approach him closer.
Remillia smirks amusedly .
"Come on Rain... is note like I'm going to bite you..." Remillia pause for a moment.
"Well... actually going to bite you... to be honest." She show him her sharp fang as she smile widely.
"Wait wait wait... let me learn the skill first... then you can bite me or talking about repayment okay?" Rain shield his face with his arms.
"Of course... give me your skill book and step on the middle of magic circle." Remillia stop just inch away from him.
Rain nervously pulls out a red book from his denim jacket and give it to Remillia, it's Tamer skill book. A skill that allow a person to be able taming magic monster in the wild or dungeon simple as that.
Remillia grab his book and check on it. "A low rank Tamer skill? you really want to put this on your last skill slot?" She comment and glance at rain.
Rain smile helplessly and nodded. "I've been planning this for a long time, so don't worry about it... it's skill that I needed for my last skill slot. For us a Common low rank
Ascendance only allowed to learn 3 skill slots it has to be perfectly strategize and calculated... unlike you who has High class Epic rank with 10 skill slots." He says with hint of jealously in his tone.
Remillia couldn't help but to sigh and nodded at him. "Go now, let's proceed with the procedure."
Rain walk at the center of magic circle while Remillia stand at the border.
She starts chanting rune magic language and the magic circle beneath Rain starts to glow blue hue.
Then she open the [Tamer] skill book, the word inside the book begun to float in the air, circling above before diving inside Rain body.
He felt weird, an information about runic magic starts to appear inside his mind akin to memory.
The procedure didn't take long as it take only 15 minutes until all the word inside the book become empty.
Rain shook his head and kneel down on the floor. He felt dizzy but he immediately check his status with the rune display inside his mind.
