Chapter - 42

The morning sun still peeked through the heavy curtains, kissing Leo's face.

The room smelled like everything they had done this morning, sex and sweat. The bed was a mess. Pillows on the floor, sheets twisted and damp. It looked like a battlefield. And Leo conquered it.

Leo leaned back against the white and gold headboard, breathing slow and steady. His bare chest was red with scratches and bite marks. These were Lady Seraphine's love bites.

The bandage around his left arm was throbbing with pain. Every pulse felt like a needle pricking him constantly. But he didn't care. Pain just reminded him he was alive.

Meanwhile, Lady Seraphine lay on his chest, half sprawled across the mattress. Her golden hair was on his face. She was completely out cold, breathing deep.

She sometimes let out a tiny moan as if she was replaying all those moments in her dreams.

The sheet covered only her lower back. Everything else was bare and marked. There were red fingerprints on her hips, faint teeth marks on the back of her shoulder, and purple love bites all over her body.

"You will only be mine," Leo made a promise to himself.

Leo smirked as his hand moved across her spine, gently tracing every mark he had left.

HIs touch made Lady Seraphine stir slightly in her sleep.

"You got yourself one beautiful woman, Leo," Leo muttered under his breath, unable to stop the grin, "Damn you, you lucky bastard."

What a rollercoaster his life had been in the last 12 hours. Fighting the assassins, taking 7 lives, surviving the poison and then losing his virginity to the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

And not just once, he took the Lord's wife twice.

It was like a bonus after the boss battle.

And speaking of rewards, there were rewards waiting to be collected. He fell unconscious last night before collecting the rewards, and in the morning he had an even intense battle.

He tightened his arm around Seraphine's waist, holding her close for a second longer before focusing.

"After conquering the beauty, daddy needs to check his loot," Leo grinned.

'Alright, Aiva,' Leo thought in his head, 'Show me all that I got.'

The blue translucent screen flickered into existence above Seraphine's sleeping body. It hummed quietly like an electric billboard floating mid-air.

[Processing Rewards…]

[Objective: Protect Lady Seraphine Dargan from the assassins. Ensure her survival at all costs.]

[Status: SUCCESS]

And for a brief minute or two, the screen in front of him replayed the Images from last night at 10x. From getting the quest till the moment he lost consciousness. Everything flashed in front of his eyes.

But it was all worth it as he looked at Lady Seraphine's naked body in his arms.

[Reward 1: Attack Shield (X5)]

[Reward 2: +2,000 Gold Coins]

[Reward 3: Thunderbolt Card (One-Time Consumable)]

Leo snorted, "Okay, that's what I am talking about."

He tapped the Attack shield icon mentally.

[Skill: Attack Shield]

[Type: Active / Defensive]

[Description: Creates a translucent barrier of condensed mana around the host or a target within 5 meters. The shield absorbs damage equivalent to 20% of the user's Max HP before shattering. Can block physical and magical attacks.]

[Duration: 20 minutes]

[Cooldown: 10 minutes]

"Finally," Leo muttered, "Something to keep me from getting chopped up. 20%... Not that much but will surely keep me alive for now."

He looked at his bandaged hand and thought maybe if he had it yesterday, it wouldn't be so painful right now.

"And I can use it on others… I will surely get escort missions, this will be an ace up my sleeves."

Next, he checked the Thunderbolt Card.

[Item: Thunderbolt Card]

[Type: One-Time Consumable]

[Description: A card infused with the captured essence of the God of Thunder, Thorug. When used, it summons a single bolt of lightning equivalent to an A-Grade Divine Strike. Deals massive elemental damage to a single target.]

[Damage: 3000 HP]

"Holy shit!" Leo almost laughed out loud. This was just too coincidental.

Seraphine stirred at the sound, mumbling softly. Her hand slid down his stomach, fingers curling possessively around his hip. She nuzzled his chest, still half-asleep, breasts pressing warmly against him.

Leo's grin widened. "Damn, she's addicted already."

"I must thank you Aiva. You just handed me the best weapon to deal with that bitch," Leo smirked.

"That bitch tried to fry me with her baby sparks. But now I am holding a legit divine thunderstrike."

"If she messes with me again. Hehehehe!" Leo was already itching to use it on Aliana, "Boom! Surprise, bitch."

"Alright, Aiva," he said mentally, excitement already peaking, "Now show me the reward for the other quest."

The screen refreshed, and the text on the screen changed.

[Quest Complete: Cuckold the Lord]

[Objective: Seduce and conquer the heart and body of Lady Seraphine Dargan.]

[Status: SUCCESS - COMPLETE DOMINATION]

Leo's grin widened. "Complete domination. You got that right."

[Reward 1: +1,000 EXP]

[Reward 2: +5,000 Silver Coins]

[Reward 3: 1 Random Spin]

[Reward 4: Penis Size +1 Inch]

Leo paused at the last one. He blinked. Then he looked down at the sheet covering his lower half.

"System," he thought, a mix of amusement and genuine curiosity in his voice. "Are you serious?"

[The System does not joke about rewards, Master. Goddess Lysara personally curated the reward pool for this specific quest line. Physical enhancements to facilitate... future conquests... are deemed high priority.]

Leo shifted his hips. He could actually feel it, there was a slight, strange pressure, a feeling of density and weight that wasn't before.

"He grabbed the sheets and peeked inside. He was definitely bigger and had more energy down there.

"Well," Leo smirked, glancing at the sleeping noblewoman who had thoroughly enjoyed him even before the upgrade, "I guess my lady is going to enjoy a few more rounds going forward."

"Oh! Lysara, you magnificent, perverted goddess, I think I am already enjoying this little arrangement of ours."

"What are you waiting for, Aiva? Use the EXP," he ordered. "Let's see the stats."

[Experience Applied.]

[Level Up!]

[Level 2 --> Level 3]

A rush of warmth flooded his body, washing away the lingering stiffness in his muscles. His mind cleared, his senses sharpened, and he felt a surge of raw strength knitting his muscle fibers tighter.
