WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 36

Upon my return from the Westfang Mountain Range where I had visited the dragons, I learned about the situation that transpired between Fay and Rohan Incelflos. Sitting within the living room of the first branch office of the Nevarian Braves, I sipped some tea prepared by Kari and listened as she, Fay, and Lin took turns explaining what transpired during my absence.

Siv was also present, but she and Raul were playing a game of hide and seek. Because Siv could not hide thanks to her dragon wings, she was always the seeker, but she didn’t seem to mind. There was a wide smile on her face as she counted from thirty down to zero, then began to hunt for little Raul currently hiding under the bed in my bedroom.

“So… while I was speaking with the dragons, you dismantled an entire alchemist family?” I asked mostly because I just couldn’t believe it.

“That’s right,” Kari said with a nod.

“How did you pull that off?”

Kari’s smile was benign and lovely, but there was a sharp edge to it, like rose horns that had been coated in poison. I didn’t often see this vicious side of my wife. This expression was the byproduct of her cunning intellect and overprotective nature flaring up.

“After storming their mansion here in Midgard and killing Rohan, I discovered evidence of numerous crimes he and his family committed. Of course, the most obvious is how he brainwashed those girls. Do you know what he did?”

I shook my head.

“He poisoned them,” Kari stated simply. “We had Ming Shen and his daughter come over to test those girls and found out that all of them had been given a powerful poison that eroded their mind and made it more malleable. After their minds became easy to manipulate, Rohan used a combination of love potions and aphrodisiacs invented by himself to ensare their bodies and firmly imprint himself onto them. There was no outward evidence, of course. Rohan and his family had at least been careful not to leave traces of poison, but Ming Shen is a poison expert and recognized the symptoms.”

A shudder ran through my body at how insidious that sort of action was. Enslaving someone’s body was bad enough. I still recalled seeing those women who had been sold off as sex slaves at the auction house in the Endless Desert. Before now, I had assumed very few things could be worse than that, but hearing what Kari said made me realize I’d been very naive.

“Those women are fortunate Ming Shen is a poison master,” Lin added. She was also sipping tea, which she enjoyed for its warmth. The fragrance calmed her nerves and made her anger settle, though the tip of her tail was still shaking. “He said he can get rid of the poison in their bodies… though there is nothing he can do for their minds. They have already been broken.”

“What happened after that?” I asked.

“Once it came to light that Rohan was using drugs, poison, and potions to enslave women, the Alchemist Association did a more thorough investigation into the family,” Fay said. She sat with her back straight, hands on her laps, clenched into tight fists. “They learned that on top of Rohan’s crimes, the Incelflos Family has been embezzling money from the Alchemist Association for years. They’ve not only stolen more than several billion valis, but they also stole alchemy ingredients and pills.”

I was stunned. I doubted anyone could blame me for feeling this way. In my previous life, I had of course heard of the Incelflos Family, but Kari and I never had any dealings with them. That was why I didn’t know about any of this. However, in this life and my previous one, they were regarded as one of the most important families within the Alchemist Association. That such a powerful family could be so corrupt was shocking.

No. Now that I was thinking about it, the fact that such a powerful family had become corrupted didn’t shock me. I read a story once about a king who had absolute authority within his small kingdom, and that had corrupted him completely, causing him to abuse his subjects. Those with power always ran the risk of becoming corrupt.

“How… could such a thing happen?” I asked. “Why didn’t the Alchemist Association do anything?”

“You know Cathrine is very hands off when it comes to managing the sect, right?” asked Kari. When I nodded, she continued. “Because Cathrine doesn’t care about anything except refining alchemy pills and studying ingredients, she left other people to deal with the Alchemist Association’s day to day affairs. Guess who she put in charge.”

“I understand,” I said with a frown. She didn’t need to tell me who had been in charge of the Alchemist Association’s daily affairs to figure it out. “It seems Cathrine was very careless.”

I didn’t know much about the inner workings of the Alchemist Association, so I could not say anything in regards to this, but I assumed the Alchemist Association in my past life had also been having this problem—only they never resolved it. The Incelflos Family from back then had been considered the strongest major power within the Alchemist Association, second only to Cathrine herself.

“She was more than just careless,” Kari said. “I have half a mind to teach that woman the meaning of the word diligence.”

A wry smile crossed my face. I knew that Kari rarely ever spoke her mind like this in public. Her training from the time when she was living with her mother was deeply ingrained in her.

I would have commented on this, but the door to our bedroom opened in that moment, and little Raul came running out of the bedroom, squealing excitedly as Siv chased after him. Siv let the boy get a few meters before swooping in and scooping the kid up. Then she began tickling him. The young child’s laughter rang out, echoing all around us.

“I give! I give!”

Only after Raul surrendered did Siv stop tickling him. There was a wide smile on her face and a gentle look in her eyes. To my four wives, Raul was their child, their son, and no one ever really made the distinction between them. Even though Raul called them by different names, that was only something we had decided on because having him call everyone “Mommy” would have been confusing.

Seeing Raul and Siv playing caused the rest of us to smile. The innocent and joyful play washed away the darkness and tension that had filled us thanks to the conversation we were having.

“So how was your meeting with the dragons?” asked Fay.

“It went well,” I said with a smile. “I met with an old dragon named Feuer, who I guess is sort of like the leader of their council. He said he would speak with the other elder dragons and have an answer for me when I return. I don’t know when I plan on returning, but I want to return maybe as soon as a few days from now.”

Everything was proceeding very smoothly right now. We had rooted out a great threat that I never knew existed, gotten in contact with the dragons, had established a close relationship with the Six Great Sects, and only had a few goals left to complete before we could confront the Great Overlord of the Seventh Plain.

“Has the Monster Tamer Guild found an S-rank Demon Beast for you?” I asked Kari.

“I’m afraid not.” Kari wore a strained smile as she answered me. “They have found two S-rank Demon Beasts, but one of them has a fire element and the other has a wind element.”

“Dammit,” I muttered. Holding the cup of tea in my hands, I stared at the steam rising from the turbid liquid. “We need to find that Demon Beast. Confronting the Great Overlord of the Seventh Plain is going to be dangerous. If you haven’t reached the Fourth State of Spiritualism by then…”

“If I haven’t reached the Fourth State of Spiritualism, then I just won’t go,” Kari said, and once again I saw that discontent smile of hers.

I wanted to say something, anything to make her feel better, but what could I say? There really was nothing me or anyone else could tell her to make her feel better. Sometimes pitying words and condolences had the opposite effect.

Shaking my head slightly, I tugged at my long bangs and changed the subject. “Anyway, since it’s like this, there’s only one thing we can work on now that every other matter has been more or less settled.”

“What is that?” asked Lin.

“Research. No one was able to do it yet because we have been so busy, but starting tomorrow, Kari and I will travel to the Spiritualism Research Sect’s library and begin looking for any information we can on these higher level concepts Dunherr told me about,” I answered.

I still had no real understanding regarding these higher level concepts. Of course, I knew what time was, but how could someone control it? And what about dimension? Void? Life and death? Was it even possible for Spiritualists to control such concepts? I didn’t want to believe so, but then I thought about my battle with Dunherr, about my battle with the Sekbeists, and more importantly, about my fight against the Great Overlord of the Seventh Plain. All of them had displayed a very unique power. I had always assumed it was just an incredibly potent darkness element… but what if that wasn’t the case?

For the sake of defeating my most hated nemesis and protecting the place where my family lived, I needed to grow stronger. Learning more about these higher level concepts was the first step toward that goal.

***

It was crazy how much could happen in a single day. Siv and I had not been gone for long, eight to ten hours at most, and yet in that time, my wives had dismantled an entire family and brought several decades worth of corruption to light. I was honestly impressed.

After learning about what happened, the day continued on as normal. Kari asked me and Fay to make some alchemy pills for her, Spiritual Enlightenment Pills, which could help boost someone’s elemental affinity. I hadn’t seen her since we gave her the pills. She seemed to have disappeared somewhere inside of the branch office.

It was later at night when I stepped out of the shower. Dressed only in a pair of simple pants and a towel over my shoulders, I wandered into the living room where all of our family meetings took place. The soft carpet felt nice underneath my feet. A soft breeze blew in through an open window.

Fay was sitting on one of our couches, her body clad in black shorts that didn’t completely cover her butt, leaving the cleft of her buttcheeks exposed. The shirt she wore wasn’t much better. The black shirt stretched across her chest like it was having trouble containing her bosoms. I could tell simply from how her boobs were pressed against the fabric that she wasn’t wearing breast bindings right now.

“Fay, is everyone else asleep?” I asked as I walked over to her.

Turning to me with a slight smile, Fay said, “Siv, Lin, and Raul are asleep. I’m not sure where Kari is, but she’s probably training.”

I frowned as I sat beside Fay. The couch sank a little underneath my weight, and Fay tilted in my direction, our shoulders pressing together. An electric jolt went up my arm when I felt the softness of her chest.

“Kari is training a lot these days,” I said as I wrapped an arm around Fay’s delicate waist. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so fanatical when it comes to training.”

“Kari is the weakest among us right now. I think… she’s realized how much of a liability she can become if she remains this way.” Fay bit her lower lip. “Maybe if there were no enemies that could threaten us, it wouldn’t matter, but Dunherr nearly killed Kari and our son. He would have if you hadn’t arrived in time to save them. I think Kari is blaming herself and trying to make up for not having entered the Fourth State of Spiritualism by growing stronger.”

I frowned but couldn’t deny Fay’s words. Every morning for the past five months, Kari would wake up and train until she was exhausted. In the evening, she would meditate to cultivate her Spiritual Power and had begun taking a variety of alchemy pills that Fay and I refined for her. I wasn’t the only person she sparred with either. Fay, Lin, and even Siv had been roped into helping her train.

“If only we could find an S-rank Demon Beast with a light element. Then we would be able to help her reach the Fourth State of Spiritualism,” I sighed.

“Demon Beasts with the light and darkness elements are the rarest.” Fay shook her head. “How could finding one be so easy?”

I knew she was right, but I didn’t want to believe that we couldn’t find a Demon Beast with the element we needed. What Kari needed right now was to grow stronger. Even if I didn’t want her to, even if I wanted to tell her she could leave everything to me, I understood that the dangers we might face in the future were not things I alone could protect her from.

Knowing there was nothing I could do to help Kari right now, I put that thought out of my mind and instead focused on the woman leaning on my shoulder.

Fay’s long hair scintillated in the light. It reminded me of fire. Each strand caught the light from the monster core chandelier overhead, sparkling with an incredible luster. I’d always wondered about her hair. I’d never met anyone with such red hair, which made me wonder if maybe it was because she had such a strong affinity for fire.

While her hair was indeed attractive, what really caught my attention was her heaving breasts and the gap between her thighs. I could not see her nipples, which were inverted and therefore hidden, but the way the shirt stretched across her large chest naturally drew my attention. Then there was the gap between her thighs. When I looked down further, I could see her plump pussy lips outlined by the tight shorts.

“By the way, Fay, what are you doing out here in clothes like this?” I asked, reaching out and placing my hand on the inside of her thigh.

Fay’s breathing hitched as her cheeks gained color. The faint duskiness of her cheeks made my own breathing grow a little labored, causing me to begin rubbing her inner thigh with a bit more force as I slowly worked my way up.

“I… um… y-you know… it’s been awhile since we were… intimate,” Fay muttered. She sounded embarrassed, which I couldn’t help but find adorable.

“Mmm… it has been awhile,” I admitted as my rubbing became more vigorous. By now, I had reached her crotch and was rubbing my hand over her pussy, concealed by her shorts. “Does that mean you’re trying to seduce me?”

“Ah… well… I…”

“Because if so, then I have to tell you: It’s working.”

“Ah? Hrrrrn!”

The confused noise Fay released was soon masked by a slight moan as I applied more pressure to her netherlips. It wasn’t hard to find her clit even through the fabric. She was already a little aroused from my previous actions, so once I found that little bundle of nerves, I happily began caressing it through her clothes.

“Hyk! Eryk! I… I want you… to…”

“Hm? What do you want?”

“Hyrk! Ahn! Ah! I want… my breasts…”

While I was rubbing her pussy through her clothing, Fay had spread her legs a little so I could gain better access. One leg was resting across my knee, and the other was simply spread out to the other side. Like this, it was much easier to see the outline of her pussy. I could even see her engorged clit when I pulled my hand away.

I didn’t slip my hand inside her shorts right away. Reaching out for her shirt, I slid my hands underneath it and lifted the shirt up, over her breasts. I didn’t remove the shirt entirely. Right now, it was just exposing her breasts.

Being a Spiritualist came with many advantages, especially if you were a woman. Spiritualists who had reached higher states of Spiritualism were able to maintain their youthful appearance for a long time. Furthermore, through the process of refining their body and Spiritual Powers, they became more attractive the more powerful they were.

Fay had reached the Fourth State of Spiritualism when she was eighteen. Of course, she had reached the Third State when she was seventeen, and because of that, she didn’t look like she had aged a single day. Her breasts were beautifully perky. They had an incredible amount of lift and didn’t sag in the least despite their impressive size. What really had my attention were the hidden treasures. Covered with folds of skin, her soft pink nipples were currently invisible.

I shifted closer, slid my hand down her pants, and leaned down to press my mouth over her nearest breast.

I immediately felt the flow of juices leaking onto my hand as I caressed her pussy and rubbed her clit. Her lips were soft and wet. Her clit pulsed against my fingers like a beating heart. If I kept this up, it would not be long before she came.

Flicking out my tongue, I pressed it against the folds of her skin and moved it up and down, rubbing her nipple to excite it and coax it out. The small bud-shaped nipple quivered under my ministrations, slowly growing harder. It did not take long for me to bring it out from behind the folds of skin. Once it was proudly sticking in the air, I latched onto it and began sucking.

“Ahn! Ah! Haahn! Eryk! My breast! You’re sucking so hard!”

Fay was not able to keep her voice contained, though she could only speak for a moment before she lost coherency. Her body shuddered against me. She was unable to last under this two way assault, especially when I tugged on her nipple with my teeth and rolled her clit between my index and middle finger.

“!!!!”

Releasing a soundless scream as she came, Fay arched her back. She pressed her feet against the floor, toes curling, thighs quivering as sweat formed on her skin and her juices squirted against my hand and her pants. Several seconds passed. I removed my mouth from her nipple as Fay’s entire body went slack. Looking at the woman as she took deep, heaving breaths, I could only smile proudly.

“I hope you realize we’re not done,” I said.

“Ha… ha… Hmm…”

Fay did not answer me.

I slid off the couch and knelt before Fay, pressing her thighs together as I grabbed her shorts and slid them down her hips. Fay was a little too distracted to help. Her body shuddered once as she came to. By then, I had removed her short, completely exposing her engorged pussy lips and stiff clit. Both inner thighs and her pussy was drenched with her own juices.

Grabbing her legs, I placed each thigh on my shoulders. I was now situated between Fay’s legs. Her pussy was in full view. The scent of her arousal was strong enough to make my head spin. Glistening pink lips opened before me, enticing me to lean down and give them a kiss, but I held back for a moment, just admiring them.

“Aren’t you… going to do anything?” Fay asked, turning her head. Her entire face was red, but I couldn’t tell if it was because of her orgasm or embarrassment. Maybe both? “Don’t just… stare at it.”

“I was just thinking about something,” I admitted.

Fay pursed her lips. “What were you thinking about?”

“Well… Raul came from here.” I gently traced the outer lips with a finger. They seemed to quiver under my touch. “It’s such a tiny hole. I was wondering how a baby could come out of it.”

A frown crossed Fay’s face. “That’s not something you should say when we’re having Se-aahn?! Ahn! Ah! HHAAAAHN!”

Fay threw her head back, spine arching, legs wrapping around my head. I had given her a surprise attack, pressing my tongue to her clit and stimulating it with a combination of simple pressure and the lightning element. I usually used the lightning element to increase the sensitivity of my wives’ nerves these days. It made their orgasms several times more powerful.

Droplets of sweat ran down Fay’s body as I ate her snatch. Her breasts heaved and jiggled and bounced with every squirming gesture she made. I couldn't see her face because she had thrown it back and she was now staring at the ceiling, but I could well imagine the way her eyes had gone crossed, lips leaking drool.

“Ah! Ah… ahn! Hyk! Hnnnn!”

While I was licking her clit, I pressed my finger against her entrance and pushed it in, feeling my finger engulfed by the warm wetness of her cunt. Her walls were soft and gentle. One finger could easily fit inside, so I quickly added a second one before curling my fingers and feeling around her inner walls.

I had learned through long-term exploration that Fay had a small spot around five to six centimeters inside of her that, when rubbed, created an intense stimulation, especially when I also stimulated her clit. Not all my wives had this spot. Kari did, but Lin and Siv did not, and Kari’s was located in an entirely different place.

I wasn’t really sure what this meant. All I really understood was that this would give my wife a more powerful orgasm.

Fay released a loud cry as she orgasmed again. On top of her legs tightening around my head, she had buried her hands in my hair and was pulling me deeper into her. My nose was now resting against the soft red patch of trim hair. The scent of her skin was invading my nose and making me go cross-eyed, especially because the intense scent of her arousal had become even stronger.

Her orgasm subsided and Fay once more became boneless, slack legs falling off my shoulders, feet hitting the floor with a thump. I looked up to see my wife’s face. Her eyes were glazed over, a very small amount of drool leaking from her lips.

I wiped my mouth and sucked the juices from my fingers. Thinking about it for a moment, I decided to wait for her to recover before doing anything too stimulating… though that did not stop me from kissing her stomach.

“Eryk…?” Fay came to.

“Welcome back,” I greeted. “How do you feel?”

“Mmm… like I just died and went to heaven.”

I laughed before standing up and offering my hand. “You can’t die right now. We’re not done yet.”

Fay looked at my hand, then looked up at me. She reached out and placed her hand in mine, allowing me to pull her up.

“You always did like going all out,” she muttered. “I sometimes feel like having sex with you is a battlefield.”

“That’s just your imagination.”

I removed my pants, led Fay around the couch, and asked her to lean over and press her hands against the couch’s headboard. She was red down to her chest, but she still did what I asked her to. She already knew what I was planning.

“Oooohh!”

Fay groaned as I, after placing my hands on her hips, pushed my dick inside of her until it was fully sheathed. I didn’t move at first because I wanted to enjoy the warmth engulfing me.

“It feels like I’m being embraced by my lover,” I said.

“Speak for yourself. It feels like I’m being stuffed,” Fay said, though I didn’t take that as a bad thing. At the moment, Fay was wiggling her hips as though asking me to move.

And who was I to deny my wife?

Since Fay preferrred slow and loving sex to fast and passionate sex, I did not increase my pace, but set a steady rhythm. The gentle sounds of her ass slapping against my hips echoed around the room. It was partially overpowered by Fay’s moans, which were longer and more drawn out than the fast and heavy rasping moans she had produced when I was making her climax with my mouth.

I leaned over until my chest was pressed against her back. Fay’s shoulder blades and back muscles were exquisite. The way they flexed and contracted was amazing. With a smile, I pressed myself fully against her, reached out, and grabbed a handful of her breasts.

“Mmmm… Eryk… those are… still sensitive…”

“I know. Why do you think I’m grabbing them?”

“Ha… ahn… t-then… you are… trying to drive me mad?”

“Maybe.”

I groped and fondled her heavy breasts, playing with her still exposed right nipple while working the other one out with my fingers. At the same time, I flexed my stomach to pull my cock out of her sodden entrance until just my head was inside of her, then slowly pushed my way back in.

Like this, we set a slow but steady pace.

There was a huge difference between slow and fast sex. When you went fast, the feelings were more intense, but they happened in an instant. Slower sex didn’t feel as powerful, but the sensations were far more drawn out. That was why it took a long time to build up that orgasm.

I wasn’t sure how long Fay and I remained like this, with me pressed against her, enjoying the feel of her breasts and the loving sensation of her pussy wrapped around my dick. The scent of our arousal and sweat-slicked bodies filled the room. It was a heady scent.

I felt my balls suddenly contract. A deep pressure was welling up inside of me, begging to be released.

Since I would never allow myself to cum alone, I stopped playing with Fay’s breasts and stood back up. Fay moaned in complaint, but then I grabbed her right leg and turned her over. Now standing on her side, on just one leg, I set her right leg on my shoulder and began thrusting inside of her like this. The new position made Fay’s eyes go wide.

“W-what is this?! It’s like… ha… ahn… it feels completely different from before!”

“Don’t know. What it’s called. But. I thought this. Position. Might be more enjoyable.”

I spoke between grunts. From this position, I could clearly see my cock thrusting in and out of Fay’s pussy, see the way her lips spread open to accept me. I could also see her engorged clit. It was twitching. I felt like it was enticing me, so I reached out and began rubbing it while I thrust inside of her.

Fay’s eyes nearly bulged as she opened her mouth and screamed. Her walls shuddered against my dick, creating an intense sensation that caused me to lose control. I shot my seed inside of her as she orgasmed, fortunately not worried about her accidentally getting pregnant again. As we both mutually orgasmed, I noticed how Fay’s foot was twitching against my shoulder. Turning my head, I kissed her foot before setting it back on the floor.

Fay’s body was practically boneless. She would have fallen over, but I caught her in my arms and lifted her up.

I sat down on the couch, Fay on my lap. She buried her face in my neck, releasing what almost sounded like purrs as I stroked her hair.

“Hey, Eryk?”

“Yes?”

“Can we—”

Before Fay could finish her sentence, a loud squawking sound followed by a series of thuds resounded through the room. Fay and I looked over at the door leading to our bedroom. It was now wide open, and there were two people who had fallen over and were now lying on the ground, staring at us with sheepish expressions.

Of course, it was Lin and Siv.

“Darling… this is…”

“W-we didn’t see anything!”

“Hm. What she said. This princess was most certainly not masturbating while watching you and Fay have sex.”

“Lin…”

Fay and I stared at the imperious but flustered Lin and the piteously moaning Siv. It didn’t take a genius to realize what happened. It wasn’t like we’d been quiet while having sex, so of course Lin and Siv would hear it. They had probably woken up to the sound of Fay’s screams and decided to watch the show.

I sighed. I’d been certain Fay was going to ask if we could go another round, but it looked like that was no longer possible.
