Immortal Freeloader 35

I took the Black Tiger Onslaught book with me, but I wasn’t paying attention to that as I walked through the tunnel. Instead, I triggered the rewards I had received. I started with Calligraphy and Essence Massage first, both at the Perfection stage, knowing that it wouldn’t do any harm. 

Only after that information settled, I triggered the next blast of information. The knowledge of how to massage people better flooded my mind. Even as the information infused into my mind, I re...

Despite the risks, I pulled the new book from my inventory the moment I was sure Marana wouldn’t return for an emergency and positioned myself so that I wouldn’t be easily observed from outside.

Risky, but the temptation to browse the new martial arts that I had received as a result of that extreme return was too tempting. Especially with a war that was going on. It could prove decisive. With my martial talent, I expected it to be deciphered in an hour or so, then I could destroy th...

Considering everything that had happened, the city was surprisingly calm. Tiger Fist Members were already restless, as losing a great number of disciples and even an instructor after winning a war was unsettling enough. When their allies of convenience lost no one, it got even more painful. 

Then, Marana appeared, strong enough to cut through the sieging forces through surprise factor to return to her compound, apparently already recovered. 

Their shock at that fact show...

I followed my declaration with another attack. 

Their first response to my attack was to arrange several teams and start searching for where I was hiding. They stopped that after I destroyed the cultivation of four Tiger Fist teams, including another Skin Refinement martial artist. Moreover, I repeated the same trick on two teams of Dragon Saber disciples and an instructor. 

I even went as far as to visit the Tiger Fist compound and throw a couple firebombs. With their t...

I had gone over Emily’s report a couple times, and my power allowed me to catch some combinations. Most were unrelated to Slasher’s adventures, but I still managed to identify two Villains with whom he collaborated… A low-level ranged attacker called the Buccaneer, who fashioned himself after pirates, and a regular thug, Wall-Breaker, with a minor invulnerability skill. 

I had to admit, three of them made a strong team, disposable enough to be used against a mysterious villai...

Accidental Villainy 40

When I successfully returned to the bar, I was thoroughly exhausted, especially since I didn’t want to leave the bar unattended any longer than necessary, and didn’t even dare to take a nap. I had too many enemies for that to be a good idea. 

The exhaustion didn’t hurt my good mood. How could it, when I not only managed to convince a beautiful super to help me fix a laser cannon, but finally gave me a trump card I could use for emergencies … not to mention, the process of c...

“Are you sure we should do this? It doesn’t feel honorable,” Pearyin said as she looked at me.  

“Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures,” I said, deflecting her argument. “With the city under the coup, we couldn’t afford to act like idiots.” 

Not that I had any intention of following the idea of honor this new world had in the first place. 

Luckily, Pearyin was a waitress just a week ago rather than a martial artist who had been in...

Immortal Freeloader 30

I wasn’t able to get a long glimpse of Marana as they kept the door open only enough for a servant to bring some food to their prisoner, but the glimpse I caught was enough to show that the situation was even more complicated. 

She looked in good condition, which was better than the alternative. More interestingly, I noticed she had been wearing a very distinct blue outfit, of the same style as the Crane Kick school. I didn’t recognize the exact rank, but it was clearly not a d...

Despite the curfew, scouting the city had been surprisingly easy. I expected the streets to be filled with patrol squads, but it was surprisingly empty. A few patrols here and there, but avoiding them had been easy. 

The reason, as it turned out to be, twofold. The first part was the city gates, manned by far more soldiers than I had seen before, in full alert, making any attempt to escape troubling at best, maybe even impossible. 

The second reason was the larger army s...

I didn’t immediately stop to think. Instead, I pulled a set of clothes from my Inventory and changed my looks — making some temporary hair dye was even easier with my new looks. 

Once I avoided the kidnappers, I wanted to go back to the house I rented. I walked at a leisurely pace, even stopping by a few stalls to purchase some knick-knacks. I didn’t need anything, but a desperately running man was far more memorable than a lazy shopper. 

I was glad for it, as a me...

A week. 

It had been a week since Elsana and Lannayin had their fight about the issue. Lannayin didn’t visit the place again, but Elsana’s annoyed murmuring whenever she returned from a meeting from the City Lord’s manor showed that they were still at odds. Elsana wanted to leave the city, and Lannayin wanted to stay and fight. 

The frequency of the meetings and the intensity of their arguments suggested that the situation in the city was getting even worse. Leavin...

Accidental Villainy 39

“Jason,” she gasped in arousal as I took a step forward, enjoying the sight of her sexy body from an excellent angle. 

“Yes, Emily,” I said, deliberately using her name. Somehow, it made the moment even sexier. It risked breaking the spell, but when I raised the phone once more and looked at her from the screen, her passion returned with a significant increase. “You have your toy. Why don’t you start playing with it?” 

“Excellent idea,” she said, even w...

Accidental Villainy 38

“How about you take a couple photos of me,” she whispered as she passed her phone to me. 

“Oh, what an excellent idea,” I said. It was true. Taking photos of a sexy busty blonde was hardly a chore even under ordinary circumstances, let alone when she had just done me a huge favor.

A favor that might be the distinction between life and death. 

“Let’s start with something simple,” I said even as I pushed her to her back, which parted her already loose b...

As I rushed toward the fire tower, I didn’t neglect creating a small mana subdimension for my three goddess, linking directly with the Primordial Aether to provide them with more mana than they could control. 

It was needed, as once we dealt with the ambush, the undead responded with more force. I could count more than a hundred avatars surrounding them, and at least three gods that approached them. 

And, that was their share. An even bigger force was moving toward the...

Annoyance and relief battled in me as I watched Marianne attack the undead with a confidence that shocked me. 

As she raised her hand, modified life magic radiated, countering and destroying the necrotic energy it touched, even more effective than my own modified light-life attack. She wore shiny armor, and her blonde hair danced in a way that made my blood move faster. She looked good. 

More importantly, I could see her domain trying to establish itself, showing that he...

“You’re a smug little man, aren’t you,” Elsana growled as she fed me another flame essence pill, leaving little doubt about how she was planning to deal with her growing frustration. 

I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to ruin the mood even as she pushed me to the bed, surprisingly forceful as she pinned me down and ripped off my clothes. Whatever that note contained clearly left her extremely annoyed, and her inability to trip me up during the massage added a unique class o...

I left my new residence at sunset — unfortunately without having some extracurricular fun, to both of our disappointment. I changed back into my expensive clothes and washed away the cosmetics. 

Also, before leaving, I taught Pearyin a few basic takedown moves for her to practice along with a few more stances. In that, the other four martial arts I learned helped. Then, I gave her a detailed explanation of when and where to use the pills I left for her, along with strict instruct...

I knocked on the door of the room, but there was no answer. I smiled as I knocked again, this time using a rhythm we agreed on previously. This time, the door cracked open, and Pearyin looked. “Who are you?” she asked. 

I chuckled. “Don’t tell me that you don’t recognize your poor student,” I said. 

She did a double-take. “Y-young master. Is this you?” 

“It’s just a disguise,” I explained. After all, I was still dressed as the servant of ...

When I arrived at the guest room that was dedicated to me, the first thing I did was to check the walls to make sure there was no hidden watcher or something similar. Then, when I was convinced of my safety, I reached the System, and finally pulled one of the books I received. 

The book on Tiger Fist. 

I had two reasons for that. First, in an emergency, I could just throw it into the fireplace — which was raging to counter the intense cold that settled on the compound....

After our fun ended, Elsana kicked me out of her bedroom unceremoniously, but I didn’t care about that. First, it wasn’t the first time I had to leave once the fun ended, and it was far better than being interrupted halfway. 

Also, I had my rewards.

As expected, the bar didn’t have many customers after the attack. The small fry avoided the place completely, afraid of what might happen. 

We still had several twitchy visitors, each low-ranking member from organizations big enough to care about the attack, but personally disposable enough that 

It had been a nice test run. With Emily’s help, I was able to dig deeper into their backgrounds, giving me a chance to actually identify their actual operations and some oth...

Accidental Villainy 36

Once I returned to the bar, I wanted nothing more than to use the tunnel and beat a hasty retreat. Unfortunately, the belief that there was a bigger villain behind me was the only thing that kept us safe. 

My second option was to lock the door, go upstairs, crawl under my bed, and call the day off early. Unfortunately, that was not an option either. It would make us look weak, and we couldn’t afford it. 

Even worse, I didn’t have the luxury of panicking in the safety...

Dominating the Boss 53

Umi left work early, a little mercy since it was her first day — after a lengthy stay in the bathroom, removing evidence of what had happened — while I finished both my lunch and my paperwork, leaving me nothing to do. 

I decided to visit Natalie. After all, no matter what, she was still my boss, right?

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I walked to her room. Brenda was sitting in front of her office, fixing her nails. She greeted me with a pout. “First day with a new sec...

Dominating the Boss 52

I said nothing as she freed my shaft from my pants, just enjoying the shape her full breasts took as she leaned against my legs. It would be a pity to leave them unattended while she was busy, so I captured them while she prepared to capture the head of my shaft. 

“A delicious dessert. You’re so thoughtful, sir,” she whispered before she completed the move. I just smiled, enjoying the moment. It wasn’t the first time I received an under-the-desk blowjob from a secretary, bu...

My first reaction as I suddenly found myself in a battle, especially when I was supposed to be doing an infiltration mission and nothing else, was to curse. 

Only in my mind, of course. Because, as the new recruits, we were supposed to have fallen unconscious. I used the opportunity to observe and decide on an action. 

The first thing I realized was that the city was not ready for a battle, their citizens attacking slowly but steadily … but neither were the elementals....

Analyzing Titania’s soul was a challenge, which was why I invested most of my Purified Spark into my stats. 

[-8,645,700 Purified Spark]

[+45 All Stats]

But, even with my increased capability, analyzing it was a challenge. 

As we studied the mysterious elemental energy — which we decided to name Elemental Spark —  that had been infused in Titania’s soul, we reached a conclusion. 

For all its similarities with the Divine Spark, It was i...
