Going Where?

It was the 32nd year, 5th month, 4th week, and 1st day of the new Change.

In a dark place, Heian Ciemnosc was just separating his body from an overly slender body. There was no bed, but their situation was comfortable. Sara heaved her chest up and down as if she was perspiring, but she didn't have a physical body to do so. Their connected lower parts sounded with a 'plop' wet noise, and Heian Ciemnosc fell beside her as Sara adorned herself with a delighted smile again. She rolled over to lay on top of him, still weak, and faintly caressed his cheeks and the corners of his mouth.

“I can’t tell if you’re just that good or I’m still inexperienced? What would you say? Since when did you learn? I’m sure it’s because of you, right?” Sara’s words kept the physically tired Heian Ciemnosc up, and he remained in his inner being, bare and with a Soul-body-like existence on top of him after copulating. Heian Ciemnosc looked at Sara’s face and went on. “Oh, now that I think about it since I was a kid.”

“Indeed, you’re like a master now, so… good!” Sara said, caressing Heian Ciemnosc’s face, neck, and nose. The latter was a surprise even for her, let alone Heian Ciemnosc, who felt his nostrils pulled slightly and his bridge felt up. Sara then pecked his lips, blushed slightly, and turned around while still on top of him. “Siiigh~. Okay, well… Now that I’ve been fed, what did you want to talk about?”

“Mn,” Heian Ciemnosc hummed lightly and placed his hands around Sara’s upper thighs, making her squirmish for a little. Then, he spoke behind his right ear, “The Crimsonbreaking Faction has incomplete Supreme Arts that can be worked to have them be completed. So… we’ve been studying Bellink Supreme Art for years now. Don’t you think we should have gained enough knowledge to attempt to help complete one?”

“Wuuh, that? Mnh-. Well, I understand. Which one do you wanna pick first?” Sara said, tilting her head to the left as she became pensive. She couldn’t deny she was willing to try this and knew only the essentials of the world but never participated in it. Now that Sara had found her ‘champion’ and the man that took her body, even if it was in a Soul state, she could do things she never thought she would.

“Mm, the aggressive one. It is not time yet for the Crimsonbreaking Faction to settle down somewhere.” Heian Ciemnosc said. Sara nodded as one of the incomplete Supreme Arts appeared in her mind, and she started deciphering the methods to complete it. Her eyes darted to the right as she reminded Heian Ciemnosc, “Since we’re doing this, and I’m the main reason you can even do this at your cultivation base, how will you repay me?”

“...” Heian Ciemnosc merely looked at Sara, blinking his darkest eyes, speechless. After a couple seconds, he sighed and gave in. “Sigh, exactly whatever you want.”

“Hehe… Ah! Did you hear about that message some hours ago? When we were just starting?” Sara suddenly said as she smiled from ear to ear and squinted her eyes like a sleeping cat, but the only kitty in Heian Ciemnosc’s life was Milyy. He had room for Souls, though.

Heian Ciemnosc looked at Sara and fell pensive before saying, “Oh. That we’re moving? The space station might be moving quickly. Don’t remember much. You entered my dreams when I least expected it.”

“Mmn, yeah. I remember now, but now, you have to wake up.” Sara’s eyes told man things to Heian Ciemnosc. Fortunately for his dignity, though, the world around him spun as Sara waved her hands goodbye to him. Then, as Heian Ciemnosc felt his surroundings change, he felt the incredible sensation of his eyelids opening when he was already seeing through them. What replaced endless pure darkness and Sara was his Team’s base’s bedroom and Milyy’s face up-close, studying him.

“... I really don’t know how it works. Mother has told me many things regarding the Soul-exalting Old World parchment. But even with that and my cultivation base, I find it impossible to comprehend.” Milyy said as her little nostrils sent tiny torrents of her scent to Heian Ciemnosc’s cheeks. Milyy’s turquoise hot pink eyes were a centimeter away from his forehead, and she seemed to look more than at his inner being. Heian Ciemnosc rapidly understood she was talking about Sara and didn’t do anything other than hold her face without pushing her away.

“Milyy, it’s not nice to not look,” Heian Ciemnosc said. Milyy darted her eyes to his darkest ones and looked at him as if waiting for an explanation. The wifey look was too heavy, and Heian Ciemnosc succumbed to the pressure. “... Without asking first.”

“Hum~.” Milyy sat up on Heian Ciemnosc’s body and straddled him. Only then did the latter realize their bodies were bare and connected… She looked up while Heian Ciemnosc felt as if his virile member’s veins were about to pop from the pressure and slight ups and downs. Milyy said in a contemplative, “I just can’t comprehend it. Why would such a useless thing come to you? No offense, lady inside my husband’s inner being. But she hasn’t done much for you. Don’t tell me all a woman needs is knowledge to be with you? Are we that cheap?”

“Ey, knowledge is power,” Heian Ciemnosc said, holding Milyy’s waist with his hands tight, but Milyy wasn’t shy to remind him how much stronger she was and kept self-impaling herself. Milyy looked down at him with her lower lip protruding furiously and lowered her flat front on his slender, pale muscles. “If you just wanted to help my sisters’ organization to gain Supreme Arts, couldn’t you have asked me?”

“First, how much do you know about Arts? You don’t even care much about your Bloodline now when it could be more important in the future, but it is also important for me to know more about you. Second, what were you saying about the Soul-exalting Old World parchment?” Heian Ciemnosc said as he gave up and was mounted by Milyy. She didn’t moan or exert a tiny sound from her nostrils or mouth as she rode him and kept her arms crossed even when keeping her body low on his.

“Ah!” Milyy, who changed positions from rubbing her front with Heian Ciemnosc’s, exchanging small kisses and making her purr in bliss from just how warm the moment was, to hopping on his pelvis while flashing him his beloved flat torso. When she heard his words, she stopped and looked at him with widened cutest eyes. “Was it like that? Aaah! I’ve been so busy with Big Sister Hong Mei that I only cared about nature learning! What do you want to know about my Bloodline? Is it really a Bloodline? What do I do now? Ah!”

“...” Heian Ciemnosc was a little speechless. His wife was still mounting him while feeling sorry for ignoring his feelings. It was quite something. Milyy started giving in to a few instantaneous, whispering purrs from her nostrils, and moans echoed in her slender throat. Her arms relaxed and went to her sides to support her body on the mattress, and her lower stomach began dancing while engulfing his entire pale monster.

… Talking about life and feelings wasn’t an easy thing. But with the insane chemistry those two lovebirds had, they spent the last hour of the early morning in lovey-dovey moments that made purrs echo through the Team’s base. Her other sounds could never fall in the wrong ears, but she couldn’t control her purrs when they engaged in long sessions of saliva-exchanging as they made love.

When it was finally time to go out, Heian Ciemnosc exited the bedroom with a uniform-dressed, hat-wearing Milyy following 2 steps behind him. Milyy’s expression was natural, but her mind was expecting, and knowing Heian Ciemnosc didn’t know what was coming, she simply wanted to let him go through it alone. Meanwhile, Heian Ciemnosc was amazed as soon as he set foot outside his bedroom.

‘Why are they looking at me like that?’ Heian Ciemnosc looked at his teammates’ faces, all wearing strange, calm, and encouraging expressions. His pitchest-blackest eyebrows slightly knitted, ‘They are used to Milyy’s purring already. Why are they like this?’

His teammates were to the left and right, next to the living room and kitchen after the bedrooms’ doors. And with Beto at the entrance of the base, where he waited as if to open the door to Heian Ciemnosc. He knew this because many butlers or palace maids did the same for him in the Blauw Empire. The energy was the same.

Tap- step, step. Heian Ciemnosc felt his lower back tapped by Milyy’s left-handed fingers, impulsing him forwards to take a couple steps inadvertently. He fleetingly looked backwards before stepping forth. Walking between his teammates felt weird, not only because of their sudden change but because it seemed to mean something. He just couldn’t tell why. Thus, Heian Ciemnosc made his way to the door.

“Go ahead,” Beto said when Heian Ciemnosc arrived before him. He opened the door and gestured for Heian Ciemnosc to exit. Heian Ciemnosc tilted his head to the right as Milyy shrunk her neck and smirked from the left corner of her mouth like a crafty cat up to no good. Heian Ciemnosc nodded quick and slightly before stepping out, and his darkest eyes widened immediately. The sky today was gray-brown, with most gray and some bursts of brownish wind.

However, what was below is what made Heian Ciemnosc feel goosebumps without a ghost’s intervention and no sensation of his little life being endangered. That was because… millions of soldier units formed up to the side, like before, when he received his punishment. Only. These formed-up soldier units weren’t there to witness a show but to welcome something… a change, perhaps.

Once again, on the other end of the in-between of millions of soldier units, commander Choliac stood with his back facing Heian Ciemnosc. However, just as Heian Ciemnosc stepped forth, he realized that the number of soldier units around, waiting and watching this time alone were not half or less than half the headquarters… It was everyone in it!

“What’s this?” Heian Ciemnosc had to ask. Without waiting for more than 2 seconds, someone from the crowd grumpily shouted, “Shut up and keep walking, menso! Get going!”

“...” Heian Ciemnosc fell silent before taking his right foot forwards. The dirt felt as resistant yet moldable as when he was training yesterday. To think he was welcoming the day he could finally rest and prepare for half a year to break into the next realm without annoyances or events to be tortured. However, from what it seemed, things wouldn’t be so simple.

When Heian Ciemnosc finally arrived before commander Choliac’s back, the latter turned around casually and looked at Heian Ciemnosc with his aged eyes scrutinizing the boy. Commander Choliac shook his head as if finding something, then said with a hint of sneakiness. “I didn’t come here for you today, kid. I thought it would be easier to talk with everyone after this ‘thing’ happens.”

“Uh… Commander, what exactly is supposed to happen?” Heian Ciemnosc asked, further confused by the commander’s actions. Commander Choliac kept looking at Heian Ciemnosc and said as he nudged his head towards the crowd. “This is the younger generations’ tradition. I can’t complain. They’ve made something… unusual out of the hell I make them go through. Get to it, separate from me, or it won’t start.”

“Oh…” Heian Ciemnosc slightly knit his eyebrows and turned around. He faced the crowd and walked away from the commander. When he was 25 steps on his way, he suddenly heard the stomp of tens of thousands of feet as the wind blew everywhere around him in front of the crowd.

STOMP~~!!

This collective stomp was from one leg of each of the soldier units in that tens of thousands group. Heian Ciemnosc felt the center of attention as if everyone was looking at him, not just with their eyes and Spirit Sense, which they were. But as if they were extending their hand, but all Heian Ciemnosc had to do was remain standing still.

“Heian Ciemnosc!!!” - “!”

When Heian Ciemnosc heard his name shouted by that number of soldier units. He was absolutely astonished. But when a more considerate number stomped again, twice with both their legs, Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes widened further, and his irises and pupils trembled a little.

“Heian Ciemnosc~!!!” They shouted his name again, and then, silence ensued. Heian Ciemnosc gulped down, not knowing what would happen next. And when he expected more words, someone to step up and give a speech, or for everyone to lash out and hurl insults at him, they just yelled and roared without any sense.

“WURRRRAAAGGHH!” - “RWUUUUUUGHH!!” - “WABWLABLWBAALAAAWWOOOORRRGGH!”

“...” Heian Ciemnosc would’ve been left deaf if he didn’t have such powerful bodily strength. He looked everywhere around him as his Team exited the base and looked at him before joining the crowd and behaving like animals, shouting and roaring towards him, hollering like beasts in their civilized, beastly congress meeting. The sensation was absurd, but Heian Ciemnosc felt something even more absurd… He felt belonging to this idiotic moment.

“!...” Suddenly, as if the world clapped and demanded silence, everyone went quiet. Heian Ciemnosc gulped again, this time less shocked, but the crowd’s abrupt soundlessness left him actually feeling deaf. Heian Ciemnosc only had to wait a few seconds before, suddenly, everyone rushed towards him and vomited a single, collective cry.

“EEEEERRRRGGGHH~~~!!” Millions and millions of morons and animal-like people rushed towards Heian Ciemnosc on foot, bringing him into a gigantic sandwich as Heian Ciemnosc felt his body hugged, pulled, brought under his armpits as his neck was held, and chest-bumped nonstop, even by females. Meanwhile, the Team he belonged to watched and clapped before joining the fun. Heian Ciemnosc rapidly found Moy trying to topple him but was bounced back after the crowd let them bump their chests.

Then, after Ruo Wei, Beto, and Loma had their turn with Heian Ciemnosc, Cara dashed to his front, stuck her body against him, and raped the shit out of his mouth with hers while cheers and knowing cries went out until the moment ended. This was completely acceptable, as everyone knew Heian Ciemnosc was an unworthy handsome toad of the swan meat Milyy is, and they’ve heard many things… impossible things.

After Cara, Clanton came over and thrust his left shoulder towards Heian Ciemnosc, barely managing to level their bodily strength out with a fixated amount of Neutral Energy, which the former calculated after seeing Moy break some of his ribs. Sandra was next, and she hugged Heian Ciemnosc tightly, giving him the comfort only Ruo Wei and Beto gave him when they had their turn and patting his back as if to calm a baby boy that no bad things would happen again.

It was ridiculous, but Heian Ciemnosc could only laugh through his nostrils as it happened. Finally, when Milyy was spotted elegantly walking towards her under-leveled husband, the crowd started calming down, and the young wife met her hubby safely. Milyy was a precious treasure of the soldier units in commander Choliac’s incomplete Fleet. Even the belles here thought highly of the outcast’s wife. It was only Heian Ciemnosc who was treated below poor quality.

“... Wuuuhooo!” - “Gaddemn! It was time!” - “Yeah! Whatever! The outcast is accepted, bla bla blaaa~!” - “You’re just jealous you’re not him!” - “Bullshit!” - “Then? Are you jealous you can’t be with him?” - “GASP! H- how did you know?!” - “Tsk!” - “Welcome, newbie! No longer a newbie! Welcoming, partner!!” - “Uuuuh~, can I kiss him, too?” - “Got the guts to ask his wife?” - “What a good weather today, ah?”

The crowd was calmed down, but they were still loud enough to make anyone 100 meters from the headquarters feel as if a civilian war had broken out, and their ears would be endangered to turn them deaf. However, they couldn’t last any longer when commander Choliac shouted, “Alright, alright! That’s enough!! You rats stand in formation! Nobody cares about this beautiful family moment. Listen up already!!”

Trottle, trottle, trottle… Step, step, step… Stomp, stomp.

Millions and millions of soldier units rushed to stand and face their commander. Despite the strictness and punishments he gives, they are hella respectful to him. Heian Ciemnosc also felt like the punishment the commander had him go through was pretty good. His cultivation base soared to the Heaven-Breaking realm 10th stage in roughly 6 months, and that was while constantly training his bodily strength. Heian Ciemnosc never felt hatred or ill-intent from the commander, and he likewise didn’t towards the commander.

“You must have heard last night’s news,” the commander began, surrounded in a small square by all his soldier units. They became somber and strict to listen to their commander’s words. Heian Ciemnosc knitted his eyebrows. The commander himself told Heian Ciemnosc he didn’t come for him, but Heian Ciemnosc finally understood that last night’s announcement should’ve been rather important. He turned his head towards Ruo Wei and presented her with his stupefied face.

Ruo Wei rolled her eyes at him before explaining, knowing he must’ve been dead tired after half a month of nonstop carrying heavy workloads. “The space station will move in 3 months. While civilians prepare and check their things calmly, without any attack forcing us to engage in flight right away, we’ll go over some basic training to remind us how to keep the Crimsonbreaking Faction’s name as high as it will always be.”

“Mn, oh. Where did the announcer say we were going?” Heian Ciemnosc asked after nodding. Ruo Wei raised her eyebrows a little and said in a low, slightly high-pitched voice. “The Mistaken Fissures Upper Realm, why?”

“Oh… I just didn’t… hear… wait…” Heian Ciemnosc nodded again and turned towards the commander to hear. However, his mind clicked instantly, and his darkest eyes gradually widened to a full. Just then, the commander continued shouting, “We will arrive in 5 months! In 5 months, if any of you make any mistake, you’ll be left behind, and you know how many spaceships I’ve left behind before you were even born! Don’t mess this up, or you’ll lose your head after knowing how much you’ve already lost.”

“I won’t tell you what’s in store for you. Only those who deserve to go there will go there. No tricks here. If you feel like messing things up and getting punished,” the commander momentarily glanced at Heian Ciemnosc. “Then go ahead and stay here for the upcoming years, you rotten rats! This is a big event in the Quiongu Fanhui Existence. It concerns one of the mightiest overlords, and you should beware of what your future actions will prove.”

“We’ll have 3 months of extensive space training. And then 2 months of brutal close-quarters and energy combat. You will be hurt and injured, but not die. I won’t let you. That’ll be too easy and too fair for meager rats like you to not serve the Faction as you are to. Now, move!! Space training, every day at 4 AM. I will see you at your ports! Whoever isn’t there once is dead meat and can become a housewife! You better prepare to not see your beds for days…”

“...!” The crowd was gasping heavily, but on the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes widened. ‘We are… going there?...!’

…
