Chapter 9: A New Skill And A New Craving
Steam curled around him as Jett sat motionless in the warm bath, concentrating on the World Tree's seed transforming into his secondary mana reservoir. The steady surge of mana felt surreal and intoxicating, and Mia's gentle touch only amplified the sensation. He yearned not just to draw mana but also to feel her presence—a longing beyond any ordinary human experience.
I feel the mana coursing through me and her touch. I can isolate those sensations or blend them into one warm wave. Shit, it's amazing. Just her fingertips—but if she licks me or presses her tits on me again...
Although Jett wanted to explore this feeling further, the trance held him speechless. He was like a statue, meant only to be tended, and the frustration was strangely thrilling.
After this peculiar consumption ended, Jett opened his eyes to the dawn's light reflecting off the sapphire ocean.
"How long did we stay in the pool?" Jett asked, feeling Mia's shoulders against his.
"It's been four hours, Master Jett," she replied, voice spirited.
"I see," Jett nodded.
It took him four hours to assimilate the seed's boons.
Jett's system interface opened before him, revealing his new attributes in organized folders.
