Velmora stopped moving. Her arms dropped limply, and tears streamed down her face—falling onto her chin, then dripping onto her chest, and slowly sliding down toward her V-line.
"What happened?" Nathan frowned, stepping back slightly while closely observing Velmora’s strange reaction.
Velmora’s head jerked in small, broken motions as she shook it slowly, then tilted it upward.
Her eyes opened, staring at the sky. Her tears evaporated into the air, and her red hair fluttered softly in the breeze.
Then, she lowered her head again. Trembling once more.
"Are you good?" Nathan asked.
She trembled again, like someone barely suppressing a laugh. She touched her cheek with her right hand, tucking some hair behind her ear.
"I’m ... Go.. Good. We’re... almost out of the forest," she replied.
"You sure? What happened to you before?" Nathan asked.
"Huh? I.. i don’t know," she answered while tilting her head, looking at Nathan from the corner of her eye like someone peeking mischievously.
Velmora started moving again, stepping one pace ahead of Nathan.
Nathan stared at Velmora’s back.
What just happened? Did she forget it? Or is she hiding something?
Nathan kept watching Velmora from behind.
But the longer he stared, his focus gradually drifted— to Velmora’s plump ass, wrapped in smooth snake scales, her slim waist, her back forming a graceful V-shape that swayed slightly with every slither forward.
Damn it... I’m getting hard again. Nathan grumbled inwardly.
Velmora suddenly stopped and turned around, her red hair fluttering in the wind, covering the right side of her face.
"U-uh... I’ll stop here... I-I need to find food... I-I’m hungry. Shh..."
She trembled, bringing her hands together in front of her body, right below her V-line.
Nathan’s question was cut off.
Velmora quickly darted to the left, her snake scales brushing against the grass, her plump butt swaying farther and farther away from Nathan’s view until she completely vanished.
Nathan let out a long sigh.
His curiosity toward the monster girls inside this Tower only deepened.
He turned his gaze back to the path ahead—a wide patch of light broke through the gaps between the trees.
Several trees up ahead had thick, sturdy branches.
Looks like it’ll be fun if I try it.
his inner child whispered.
Nathan activated [Temporary Physical Enhancement]— then leaped from branch to branch, like a ninja from that one anime series where the next generation arc didn’t get enough polish and ended up disappointing most of the audience.
He finally reached the last tree branch he could jump onto, his right hand touching the trunk. His eyes widened at the sight before him.
"Is this... inside the Tower?"
A bizarre landscape unfolded—areas that defied all logic.
A snowy field piled high with ice sat directly next to a blazing desert, and beyond the desert was a dark, foreboding zone where sunlight seemed unable to touch the ground.
The light hovered eerily above it, refusing to pass through.
Nathan stood there in awe, unable to tear his eyes away from the bizarre scenery, until—
He clutched his stomach.
"Ah... shit, I’m hungry," he muttered.
He turned around and climbed down from the tree, still brimming with curiosity as he made his way back toward the Rabbit Fighters’ cave.
Sunlight pierced through the leaves and landed on Nathan’s face.
"Sunlight?" He frowned. "Hmm..." He touched his chin.
"I can photosynthesize, so why am I still hungry?" he wondered, confused.
Without a hint of overthinking, the system popped up to answer.
[Skill [Energetic Photosynthesis] does not affect your digestive system. Skill [Energetic Photosynthesis] only refills your energy. Your internal organs still function normally.]
"Now it makes sense," he said, nodding.
He kept walking, observing the bizarre forest around him.
Strange fruits dangled everywhere, and glowing mushrooms—like neon balls—sprouted from the roots of trees he passed by.
He had no intention of eating any of them.
He didn’t want to end up with more weird skills.
A strange sound appeared—rough movements brushing against the grass.
Refusing to welcome danger with open arms, Nathan reactivated [Temporary Physical Enhancement] and began leaping from spot to spot—like that one ninja anime everyone claims to hate but still has a rabid fanbase.
While hopping from branch to branch, Nathan spotted the pale-pussy bird monster—the one that had approached him back when he was searching for Prunus Vitalis seeds.
He paused on a sturdy branch, observing the bird monster from behind.
A pair of pale ass cheeks greeted his eyes, along with a fragile-looking back.
But before his cock could rise again in salute, the bird monster flew away.
"I wonder what her name is... Birdia or something?" he muttered while preparing to continue his journey.
He arrived at the Rabbit Fighters’ area, but the caramel asses of Domina and Livia were nowhere to be seen.
Nathan wandered around the cave, letting out a sigh.
"Damn it, why is this getting boring?" he grumbled in frustration.
The system didn’t show up, the Rabbit Fighters who loved teasing his dick were nowhere to be found, the snake monster with the beautiful V-line had left him stranded in the middle of the forest, and the pale-pussy bird monster had flown away before his dick even had the chance to get hard.
"FUCKKKKK..." Nathan shouted, "Something happen, please..."
He lay on the grass, feeling bored and clueless about what to do. Until—
A familiar voice called out to him.
He instinctively sat up.
Bunny ears, caramel thighs, caramel breasts bouncing with a sheen of sweat, a cheerful smile, and white hair made Nathan’s eyes light up.
He grinned widely—then froze.
Why do I feel like a kid left at home while his mom went shopping? he thought.
Domina and Livia returned, each carrying a boar bigger than the Steelback Boar on their shoulders.
They stored the massive boars inside their storage spaces and pulled out the two deer they had previously caught. Everything repeated again—the wooden grill Livia brought out, Domina lighting the fire, and the two of them eating with leaves as their plates.
Nathan didn’t want to be fed again, so he chose to stay quiet for now.
As promised, Domina divided the deer meat, handing Nathan his share.
Nathan stared at his portion—it was smaller.
Well, i can’t eat as much as they do anyway.
He grabbing a piece of hot meat, tearing it off along with part of the leaf, and lifting it slowly.
Nathan didn’t gain any particularly important skill.
You have consumed [Cervus Snoozius].
New passive skill acquired: [Sleepus Instinct].
Skill Description [Sleepus Instinct Lv.1]:
Your body automatically leans toward sleep when left undisturbed, ignoring minor distractions and discomforts.
Huh? Might save me from night-time goon battles, Nathan thought.
Huh? Not bad for fighting against late-night goon sessions. Nathan thought.
Everything went back to how it used to be.
Nathan didn’t nap together with Domina and Livia.
He chose to head toward the area where he had planted the Prunus Vitalis.
He lay down under the Prunus Vitalis tree.
The cool breeze made him comfortable, and before he realized it, he fell asleep.
He drifted off peacefully under the tree that had grown quickly because of his cum.
His soul rested calmly in sleep.
His eyes slowly opened.
Nathan felt something pressing down on his lower body.
"What are you doing?"
Domina was sitting on top of him—right over the part of his pants covering his cock.
"Ahahahaha... I... I want to do something hehehhehe..."
Livia was there too, sitting nearby, watching with her bright eyes while laughing.
Warm liquid seeped through the layer of fabric covering his pants.
The liquid soaked through, wrapping warmly around Nathan’s cock.
