Drake teleported inside his new territory. As both the territory owner and Maria’s lord, he had that privilege. Moreover, thanks to the system, he could teleport inside with no cost or limits.

“Welcome, my lord,” everyone said in unison as they saw Drake appear.

Drake was a bit startled to see many new faces. Checking their loyalty points, he was surprised to find that all of them had a minimum of above 90 points.

Such high loyalty across the board suggested that they were already at least loyal (above 70 points) before being sent to the training room. This consistency was unusual and impressive.

Everyone looked very strong. The twins had digested their potions by more than 50%, and their masteries had improved, all reaching above level 20 in the intermediate stage. By the time the rankings were announced, they were expected to reach rank 2 Extraordinary. Their masteries were also expected to reach the advanced stage before the rankings were revealed.

Maria and her tribe members were all Extraordinary, with varying potion digestion rates. Their masteries were all above level 10 in the intermediate stage.

The most impressive were Darla and Maria, who were even stronger than the twins. Both had advanced stage masteries. Previously, Maria was at the peak of the intermediate stage in her spear mastery, but her mastery had reached level 12 of the advanced stage. Darla had caught up with her, achieving level 3 in advanced-stage unarmed combat mastery.

If a Mortal improved their masteries enough, they could even fight and defeat an Extraordinary. The combination of their strength as Extraordinary beings and their advanced stage masteries made Maria and Darla formidable forces.

Drake checked what they had gained from the Fox Elite class.

He was very impressed by what they received from the potion. It was a bit different for Ruby and Dawn though. They learned Blood Mastery and Darkness Mastery respectively and got the blood manipulation and darkness manipulation abilities respectively.

Unlike other fox women, who became One-tailed Fox, Ruby became One-tailed Blood Fox and Dawn became One-tailed Dark Fox.

“Get up. You have worked hard,” Drake said.

The women who were kneeling knew whom Drake referred to. The twins together with Maria and her original tribe members got up with pride and excitement as they heard their lord’s praises.

“Thank you, my lord”, they replied in unison.

Drake moved forward to come closer with the new territory residents kneeling behind. Everyone tensed when they felt Drake’s eyes on them. This was the first time they saw their lord. The one person whom they devoted themselves to.

“I will not doubt your abilities since they accepted you. I hope you will work hard to be proud members of the Myst Haven Territory,” Drake said to the remaining fox women as he looked at them.

“My lord, we will not let you down,” all of them proclaimed loudly.

Drake nodded and shifted his gaze to the assassins.

“Since this is what you have decided, it will be disrespectful to your resolve to say anything otherwise. So, I can only say, welcome to the team,” Drake said.

“Thank you, my lord. We will lay waste to anyone foolish enough to defy you,” the assassins said. Their voices filled with boundless killing intent for their lord’s foes.

“Get up all of you,” Drake said and walked into the log cabin. Yumi, Ayame, Maria, Aria followed him.

They briefed Drake on everything that had happened in his absence—how they welcomed new residents and established the territory. Drake listened intently, his eyes reflecting satisfaction as Maria detailed their efforts.

“You’ve done well,” Drake praised them, his approval evident in his tone. “The world event is tomorrow. I expect all of you to perform at your best.”

“Don’t worry, young master. We will not disappoint you,” Ayame assured him confidently, speaking for the group.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Drake nodded. “You may all leave. Aria, stay behind.”

The twins nodded and respectfully exited the room. Maria cast a meaningful glance at her daughter, causing Aria to blush before she, too, left the room.

Once they were alone, Drake turned to Aria, a warm smile playing on his lips. “Did you miss me, Aria?” he asked, gently pulling her onto his lap.

“Of course, I missed you, Drake,” Aria replied softly, her voice barely a whisper as she buried her face in his chest to hide her blushing cheeks.

Drake smirked seeing that and held Aria’s chin. He pulled her face up and kissed her. Aria was a bit startled by the kiss but reciprocated it with as much intensity as Drake’s. Soon they were battling with their tongues.

Drake removed her upper body clothes one by one. He mashed his breasts and hips alternatively. He broke the kiss and started sucking her left breast while kneading the right. He randomly lightly bit her erect nipple while sucking on it.

“Aah, Drake,” Aria moaned his pleasure as she came hard just from foreplay.

Drake then stood up with Aria and carried her to the bed. He dropped her to the bed lightly and removed the rest of her clothes. Then he proceeded to remove his clothes.

Aria sat up on the bed, face-to-face with Drake's massive hard cock. She kissed the glans and started licking. She licked the entire length as if licking a popsicle.

She took his cock in her mouth starting from the glans. Little by little, she took the entire length in. Her throat bulged due to the foreign invasion.

She looked up seductively while still keeping his entire length inside her mouth and started moving her face to deepthroat his entire dick while sucking on it furiously.

“This fox,” Drake got horny looking at the seductive fox woman blowing him hard. He clenched her golden locks in both his hands and started brutally face-fucking the insolent fox. But she only showed a mischievous look and accepted whatever Drake dished on her.

Without any warning, Drake came and filled her stomach with his thick cream. She worked doubly hard to suck all his cum from his balls.

After cuming hard, he pulled his penis out of her mouth. She showed him a seductive smile as if teasing him.

Whatever she did, she was successful. Drake pushed her and forcefully turned her around so that she was lying on her stomach.

He caressed and played with her fluffy tail, ”You little fox, you dare play with me,” Drake said in mock anger.

Aria giggled and moaned alternatively as like all fox women, her tail was a sensitive region.

Drake pulled her tail to pull her hips up. Then she impaled the entire length of his penis in the wet folds of her eager and waiting pussy.

“Aah, yes, Drake, fuck me. Please fuck me. I wanted to do this since I first saw you,” Aria said while moaning hard.

“Then savor it, my little pet,” Drake said while slapping her ass.

“Yes, I am your pet. If you want you can even put a collar or leash on me,” Aria suggested while shaking her hips wildly.

“Oh, who knew my little pet fox is so kinky,” Drake said. He pulled her hair hard to pull her head towards her and kissed her hard while still fucking her.

“Anything for you, my lord,” Aria said while taking breaks between the kisses to breathe.

After pistons for more than ten minutes, he cummed inside her. Then started another round. They continued fucking for an hour before they stopped and lay side-by-side on the bed in silence, with the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the window.

“Thanks, Drake. You brought light to my dull grey world. I will follow you forever until you no longer want me. Then I will watch over you from a distance to not annoy you till the end of time,” Aria said, her voice thick with emotion.

“Silly girl. You are now bound to me. For now and forever,” Drake assured her, a playful tone in his voice. “You can never escape from my evil clutches.”

Aria laughed softly at his jest, her tension melting away. She said nothing more, content to bask in the comfort of his presence.

“I will leave soon and come back tomorrow before the event starts,” Drake informed her.

Aria nodded, understanding the necessity of his departure. They lay together in comfortable silence until Drake fell asleep. As he slumbered, his form gradually faded as he logged out. For many nights, he had practiced diligently in the training room. With the world event looming, he decided to rest properly in his own home.

After a while, Aria dressed quietly and left the log cabin. The cool night air greeted her as she stepped outside. She found Maria waiting nearby. Gathering her courage, she approached her mother, her cheeks still flushed with lingering emotions.

“Congratulations, Aria,” Maria greeted her daughter warmly.

“Thanks, mother,” Aria replied, smiling gratefully.

“Shall we?” Maria asked, her eyes gleaming with pride.

“Yes,” Aria agreed. Together, they disappeared into the night, heading towards the training room to prepare for the first challenge of their territory.

The next morning, the territory residents were bustling with activity, foregoing their usual hunts to prepare for the impending monster tide. After raiding numerous monster settlements, they had amassed an impressive collection of powerful weapons, items, and treasures, all of which they intended to use in the upcoming event.

Drake emerged from the log cabin after logging back in, surveying the hive of activity around him. As the residents moved to kneel and greet him, he waved them off, urging them to continue their preparations. He made a mental note to inform his new followers about his minimal kneeling policy after the event.

Walking through the bustling camp, Drake noticed that the remaining members of the tribe had also taken their potions. The fox women, following Maria's lead, had consumed the fox racial potion, while the assassins had taken the Shadow Path potion, transforming into Ninjas.

They had intended to take the potions the previous night, but Drake's arrival had prompted them to postpone it until they could train properly.

As Drake continued his inspection, he observed more unique fox bloodlines emerging among the tribe. Like Ruby and Dawn, others had undergone remarkable transformations. There were now two Ice Foxes, their fur white like snow; three Lightning Foxes, crackling with lightning; three Wind Foxes, their movements swift and graceful; one Shadow Fox, blending seamlessly with the darkness; and one Time Fox, exuding a mystique aura.

Drake was startled when he saw the words, Time Fox. He discovered it was Zara Wildfang, a fox woman who had mutated into a One-tailed Time Fox. She had acquired the ability to manipulate time. Although at level 1 intermediate stage, it wasn't very strong, it was still a deadly power. He was even more surprised to learn that she was already a zealot, without ever meeting him. Born blind, Zara had been able to see some visions since birth, which perhaps explained her deep devotion.

Maria had mentioned that Zara was rescued by the twins, along with other fox women from the royal castle, and that she had played a crucial role in calming and convincing the other fox tribe members.

Drake then turned his attention to Samantha, the one who had become a One-tailed Shadow Fox. She, too, was from the royal castle. At level 32 in the advanced stage of Stealth mastery, her affinity with shadow elements had accelerated her progress.

The shadow mastery she received with her mutation further boosted her stealth mastery. She received it at level 1, intermediate stage, but increased to level 3, during training last night. Moreover, she even had level 2 advanced stage Dagger mastery. Her advanced stage masteries and rank 1 Extraordinary sequence strength made her the strongest in the territory.

As he observed the bustling preparations, Yumi, Ayame, Maria, and Aria approached him. “How are the preparations going?” Drake asked.

“Young master, everyone is prepared for the monster tide. We have set defenses around the perimeter and prepared many traps to handle the weaker monsters,” Maria reported. She didn’t delve into specifics, and Drake didn't press for details, trusting her judgment as long as the event concluded successfully.

They sat down to eat breakfast, the air filled with a mix of tension and excitement. Suddenly, a voice echoed from the sky, capturing everyone's attention.
