Eric wasn’t smiling because of the pleasurable night he and Rubra had spent together.

The reason was different.

In fact, while the first time his consciousness was basically turned off, this time he heard the System notification sound when Rubra’s eyes started turning red.

In his mind heard a robotic voice.

*Proficiency increase in ability named: Dominion! *

He had yet to completely understand the situation, but he was starting to understand more and more about it.

The control of the chessboard was returning to his hands.

Thinking in this way, he mentally invoked his status.

Alec(Erechtheus Blake)

Race = Human Chimera

Age = 18(28)

LV.305

STR = 100

STA = 100

AGI = 300

MAN= 400

Remaining stat points:18

Abilities: Hero blessing, Dominion (lv.7), Survival magic(lv.8, partially limited), Phoenix Master(lv.7), Wild combat(lv.3), Cinder-poison resistance(lv.2), *a** *le**i**(limited), A***o*i** *le**i**(limited), A**en* *le**i**(limited), H**e* *le**i**(limited), P**e**o* *le**i**(limited), D**da*** *u*s*, N**es** *le**i**(partially limited)

It didn’t change that much, but there were two details that piqued his interest.

First, his personal skill had raised once again, and finally, his previously called Phoenix lover transformed into Phoenix Master.

Moreover, their level was the same.

At this moment, he understood the strong correlation between the two abilities.

*So my powers increase the more she is submissive to me?!

What is this joke? *

For a moment, his mind returned to the present.

He almost felt like he was observing some kinky hardcore film.

Even though he found that idea illogical, he couldn’t honestly define himself as sad about it.

On the contrary, if this could be defined as training...he would definitely become the strongest existence in the universe.

*If it’s real, it wouldn’t be that bad… *

After finishing ‘watching’ his abilities end his activation time, he almost felt like he cheated on himself, but was aware that he would definitely solve that problem by raising his level.

Those were his last thoughts before he and Rubra fell asleep in their reciprocal hug.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Woken up by the sweet smell of Rubra’s hair, he felt ready to start his travel and conquer the whole world if it was necessary for their own peace.

Then instinctively perceiving his surroundings through his mana, he found the third companion of adventures, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

*She will probably save my life. *

At that moment, his thoughts for her were purely utilitarian.

She was beautiful, and he would be lying, saying the contrary of that.

Still, somehow, unlike he did in the past, he didn’t feel the need to find any different partner touring the nightclubs.

Before, he thought of that as normal, but since they kissed each other, he didn’t think that way anymore.

It wasn’t either because he cared for Rubra and didn’t want her to suffer because of his animalistic instincts.

In truth, that was also one of the reasons, but definitely not the main one.

The principal reason was similar to when someone interested in becoming a sommelier didn’t want to change his wine choice after finding his favorite one.

Sure, the core of curiosity was still there, but for sure, he wouldn’t consciously pursue the tasting of a clearly lower-quality wine.

In this case, the lower-quality wine was a loveless relationship.

He felt like he had grown up mentally in these last three months, more than he had done in his two past lives combined.

Ok, maybe he was exaggerating, but that was true, looking strictly from a relationship point of view.

After breakfast Eve had already started being more interested in him, or, to be more precise, in his recipes.

He had experienced all the food techniques on Earth, compared to those, Eve’s diet was more similar to a Paleo diet, literally.

The most complex of preparations for her was roasting the prey they had captured.

That’s it.

For this reason, when she saw scrambled eggs and pan-fried bacon, she really felt like a toddler discovering the new world that surrounded her.

That was the first time the two flaming personalities of the two women agreed.

Both Rubra and Eve abundantly appreciated his cooking skills.

Differently from the past puppy-like incessant praise Rubra had given, Eve was unconsciously proceeding with her right hand towards his head as if to pat him.

Unfortunately, Rubra stopped her separating her from her goal using her flames.

Groaning slightly for the obstacle Rubra was, to her advancement in this new relationship of hers, she deviated from her course of action.

‘’Thanks for cooking that for me.

That was delicious dear! ‘’

Rubra felt once again resistance towards the word ‘dear’ but appreciated the change from the previous ‘darling’ nonetheless and decided to let it go this time.

Eric attentively observed her reaction and sighed calmly, seeing her clear commitment to adapting to the new situation.

A few hours passed from that moment, and they were now lost in the Cinder Forest.

It could seem a stupid and impossible situation since all of them could fly, and Rubra lived hundreds of years inside that Forest.

There were two different respective problems, about that counterargument, equally posed by Eve, like Rubra.

*First, it isn’t advisable to exit the forest flying, given the clear murderous intent expressed by the roar that followed Cain’s death.

Second, the Forest is literally the same size as a medium-sized country, and Rubra, shy as she was, always stayed close to the center of it, where most part of the strong monsters was.

The most absurd point is: between someone that lived in the place for hundreds of years, a near-immortal and mighty dragon race, and a mid-strength, just-died human, the one with the most information is me. *

Trying to send away the idea of uselessness he started feeling regarding the other two oh-so-powerful mythical beasts at his sides, he decided to think harder about the situation.

*Ah…It’s worth trying! *

After a moment, a wide smile was on his face.

*I just created the GPS on Ouroboros! *

After that, he started laughing almost derangedly for a while, weirding out the other two for a bit.

‘’Ah, it happened again! ‘’

Eve watched Rubra with a quizzical look and then asked.

‘’What’s happening?

Please tell me. ‘’

Rubra sighed desperately while watching her as if she was asking the obvious.

‘’Since the first day I met him, every time he started laughing like this, he would do something outrageous! ‘’

In this way, Rubra answered her, slowly increasing in volume and speed until almost shouted at the end.

At this point, all the two of them could do was wait and keep watching him with expectant eyes, like a pair of children in front of a skilled magician.

All he said was an apparently simple sentence.

‘’Zolgas is around a month away from here walking…or a couple days flying insanely fast while covered by the trees! ‘’
