The party of four reached the camp Tenur stared at not long ago. There the soldiers were, all sitting around the camp fire and telling spooky stories one after another.

"...Then, when he thought no one was looking at him, Boo! A troll appeared from above him!" One of the younger man who sat with his back to Tenur's group said. The stories told were more annoying for Laura than horror, explaining her silent grunt of disapproval. The men immediately looked at her, and fear was expressed through their eyes as they looked at her, then back at the story teller.

"What?" He seemed to not have noticed the group until Tenur tapped his shoulder.

"Hello. Meet Laura, the troll who's gonna wreck your sorry ass for using her race as a horror story base," Tenur and Proin gladly gave way, exposing a direct route between Laura and the man.

"Eee!" He exclaimed while backing a few steps, but the few steps were what it took to bring him right into the blazing fire. His back caught on fire as a result.

"Shit! Help me out!" The man yelled as he rolled on the ground, but the fire on his uniform was just too persistent.

"You guys gonna help him?" Proin asked while looking at the victim's mates.

"Ah, no thanks..."

"Got what he deserved for being racist."

"Bastard would probably calm down with a roasted back," that earned some laughter, but Tenur and Laura weren't.

"You going to?" Tenur looked at Laura expectantly, but she just looked away, deciding she wasn't going to help the poor guy at all. Tenur caught scent of roast meat. The poor guy was definitely getting roasted.

"..." Proin and the others who didn't look away fixed their gazes on Tenur, willing him with their puppy eyes to save the roasted friend of theirs. He assumed they didn't want to express it orally for fear of being labelled as the roasting guy's assisters, even though they knew he would get burned to death.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Bastards... , Tenur thought to himself.

"Fine..." He took off his undergarments and started fapping. The soldiers and Proin stared wide-eyed while Laura just looked embarassed to be leeching from him.

"Denka, would you please! I... can't... hold... much... longer!" Tenur struggled to get the words out as he was near the point of no return.

"Got it, got it, was way ahead of you," Denka's voiced. There was a translucent blue glow wrapping around the grimoire Tenur had dropped when he started fapping, the blue glow then connected to Tenur's penis before glowing even brighter, to the point of being as blinding as the sun's shine.

A blue substance, similar to semen in terms of viscosity, came flowing. Tenur's penis was now like an opened tap, pouring out litres of sperm just to extinguish the man's back. There was a moment of silence as the nearby camp fires, along with theirs, were extinguished by the brutal amount of sperm ejaculated too. Every eyes was now on the source of it all while the locals of the source looked both stunned and disgusted at the same time.

"Ok, good news or bad news first, Tenur?" Denka asked, breaking the silence.

"Good first," Tenur replied almost immediately.

"Good news is, your sperm promotes healing and has anti-aging effects," Denka said matter-of-factly.

Tenur directed his voice to everyone, "Hear that!? That's gotta be worth more than just a few camp fires right!?" There were some nods, but most were confused after breaking out of their trance.

With a grin on his face, Tenur asked the next question. "How about the bad news? Surely it cannot shadow the good one."

"They're mana intoxicated, and the duration of intoxication will last until the mana absorbed through your sperms is depleted," that didn't sound bad, Tenur mused, but Denka continued, "they're also now mana fiends which last as long as the mana intoxication exist."

"What does that mean?" Tenur asked while picking up Denka.

"It means, they're mana-sucking zombies now," Laura explained while tracing the path to the entrance, which was also the only exit.

"Doesn't that mean we should..." Tenur trailed off as he heard groans resounding through the camp. Even Proin was affected.

"Yes! Run! Just fucking run from here!" Laura ran for the exit. The entire camp was now filled with groans and moans, either muttering 'mana' or just nothing meaningful at all.

Tenur tried to grab Proin and run as well, but just a touch made his balls stung like crazy. There was a slight dizziness accompanying the sting, and he had to use every ounce of his focus just to not drop.

"Don't touch them!" Denka yelled from the book. "Just a moment's contact is enough to drain most of your mana away."

Tenur looked at Denka while muttering "seriously?", but Denka just urged him to run away and follow Laura's path. And with a final look of pity and apology directed towards Proin who tried to, for some reason, masturbate in front of him (which was not a sight he wanted to see very much), he started moving his feet although it felt like jelly.
