With a strange feeling, Nathan started doing something he absolutely shouldn’t be doing while severely injured. Blood dripped down past his left eye. With only one eye open, he stared at the Prunus Vitalis sprouts.
Meanwhile, the Tower Manager—who was watching Nathan desperately jerking off—held the system panel in front of her face.
Her cheeks flushed red.
Shit... She shook her head. What the hell am I thinking? she pulled the panel away.
But her eyes couldn’t look away from Nathan’s foamy hand stroking his cock.
Ahh... come on... faster... eummmhh... She bit her lip, pressed her palms together like she was praying, and placed them right between her cleavage.
Nathan, in desperation, moaned, "Eughmmm..."
He stroked faster, hoping to reach the fastest climax of his life.
Fuck... Fuck... why? why?
Why the hell did I end up as a jerk-off Hunter? I wanted to be a badass Hunter... and now I’m jerking off to a fucking plant, FUCK...
Nathan’s inner thoughts were in agony, his beautiful dream tainted by reality.
His delusion of being cool as fuck was now shattered by yeah, I’m fucked up.
A blood-streaked scowl on his face, his right hand jerking his cock, his broken left arm flailing uselessly—it was a moment that would be forever etched into Nathan’s soul.
But it wasn’t just etched into his soul.
The Tower Manager, who was watching everything, had eyes gleaming with excitement—burning with the desire to record every second of Nathan’s pathetic masturbation.
Hmmm... C’mon... ahh...
Her hands pressed tighter between her breasts, her thighs trembled, rubbing together like they were about to fuse.
Her lips curled into a smile, eyes sparkling.
I’ll never forget this...
She bit her lower lip.
After a stroke-filled struggle drenched in pain...
"AGHHMMM..." Nathan groaned.
EUHMM... The Tower Manager bit her lip, trying to contain her awe.
The tiny sprouts, barely emerging from the soil, were now soaked in the semen of a desperate man.
Not just one—because Nathan’s ejaculation, laced with the sting of every muscle contraction from his wounded body, was wild enough to reach all three.
In front of Nathan, the soil around the sprouts trembled, began to crack—and in an instant, the sprouts grew into a fully matured Prunus Vitalis tree.
Its fruits hung down, offering hope to Nathan, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Without any instruction from the Tower Manager, he already knew what he had to do.
With great effort, he stood up.
"Aghh..." Pain surged through his legs.
He leaned against the Prunus Vitalis tree, his right hand slowly reaching—for a fruit that resembled a tomato in shape, but colored in a deep shade of blue.
He bit into it immediately, devouring it in frustration—juice from the Prunus Vitalis fruit spilling from both corners of his mouth like drool.
You have consumed [Prunus Vitalis].
New skill acquired: [Mana Bloom] — rapidly restores mana in a short burst.
The system notification appeared in front of Nathan instantly.
[Mana Bloom will be activated without host control.]
[All available mana will be converted into emergency healing material...]
Nathan exhaled, then slowly sat beneath the Prunus Vitalis tree—like a father who was finally relieved after seeing his son grow up and live independently.
He lowered his head, questioning the strange fate that had led him here.
The Tower Manager smiled.
That was beautiful... I should watch things more often.
Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, and an itch began to spread deep within her.
Roars and heavy blows echoed from afar—Nathan knew those sexy monsters were still fighting like lunatics.
Slowly, the wounds on his body began to heal, but each bit of recovery came with the same notification.
[Mana has been used for emergency healing...]
His mana could never reach full.
Every time it got close, it was immediately drained for healing.
The Tower Manager started a conversation.
Are you uhhm... strong enough to walk?
Nathan glanced at the panel that displayed both voice and text.
"Did you just moan?" he asked.
If you’re able to walk, hurry into the cave. It’s safer there!
Nathan didn’t say much. He stood up.
This is enough, even if it still hurts, he thought.
He didn’t want to risk getting caught in another monster fight.
He looked at one of the Prunus Vitalis fruits and took it into his hand.
"What’s the meaning behind all of this, really? Why do they go insane during the eclipse?"
They go insane because...
But the panel remained, glowing silently.
Sssshhrhrh... srhssh...
A hissing sound—like a snake—slithered from behind Nathan.
"There’s something behind me, isn’t there?"
The Tower Manager was back in text-only mode—no voice this time.
The hissing sound was right behind him.
Nathan lowered his head.
A panel appeared in his lowered line of sight.
I’ll guide you to the cave where you and the Rabbit Fighters slept. Do not make a sound.
Walk slowly. Your location isn’t far from the cave.
I’ll show you the exact path to follow.
Nathan swallowed hard.
He began walking, limping slightly—his wounds weren’t fully healed.
The hissing followed him.
Nathan kept his eyes down, staring only at the path on the panel.
Something moved—and stopped—right in front of him.
Do not lift your head.
Nathan didn’t lift his head, but his eyes—just barely—glanced forward.
And a beautiful V-line curve.
Nathan moved along the guided path, adjusting his direction with each turn as the Tower Manager instructed.
His body was slowly regaining strength.
The pain in his legs was gone, making him want to dash straight into the cave—
but the Tower Manager had told him to walk slowly.
Not wanting to risk his life, Nathan obeyed, step by cautious step.
The snake’s hiss never left his side.
The hiss brushed against his ear.
Nathan flinched, nearly jumping in place—almost ready to run.
Fuck... Almost. Damn it!
Nathan kept walking, holding himself back from running.
He finally arrived inside the cave.
The hissing disappeared.
and saw the tip of a massive snake tail at the mouth of the cave,
just before it vanished.
Nathan let out a breath of relief.
Good thing you listened.
The Tower Manager was now back in both voice and text mode.
Nathan didn’t waste any time.
He asked, clearly annoyed,
"What the fuck is actually going on? Eclipse? Monsters going insane? Snake hissing? Explain! Explain everything."
Alright... Calm Down, So...
