Franklin, Alsa and Georgia were all Stage 4 humans, they had noticed Alex and his party some distance away as soon as they had arrived here.
But, noticing one of his women taking out an inclined chair, then him changing into beach shorts and then casually resting as if he was at holiday made them selectively ignore him.
Now, as he spoke to bring attention to him, they could no longer ignore him.
Franklin smiled, " You speak a lot for someone who is going to die, brat. "
Alex didn't bother replying to Franklin as he casually snuggled in Cecelia's soft breasts to find a comfortable position.
Alina on the side brought a peeled grape to his lip, which he leisurely took a bite off while teasing his sister by licking her finger.
" Brother~ " Alina smiled in mock anger, while rubbing her face on Alex's shoulder. her eyes full of love and tender affection.
Vienna meanwhile was holding a glass of juice with little umbrella in it.
Taking a sip through straw, Alex really liked Vienna's consideration to remember bringing that small umbrella prop, for that he rubbed her pussy and made her cum.
" Ah~? Master~ " Vienna's body melted onto him, as she coquettishly moaned, while her pussy squirted her love juices.
Franklin's face on the other side turned red, when he saw Alex ignoring him, while enjoying his women's bodies.
" Son of a bitch... " He snorted, turning towards Georgia and Alsa to plan about further event.
But, Alex now didn't ignore him, as he got up from his chair, after Vienna cleaned her own mess from his hand.
" Bro, Are you jealous? " He asked while rubbing Vienna's chin, and casually throwing a knife at Franklin's back.
" Jealous? Why be jealous of a dying man, " Franklin snorted, noticing that the knife had fallen down some distance away.
There was clearly an invisible partition separating two sides.
Alex smiled with a smirk, " Jealous. Because, Deep down you want to be like me. Deep down you envy how unhinged I am. Right? "
" Well, even I envy myself sometimes. But, You are quite good looking yourself. Still for reality check, you should know that in this world no woman would love you like these bitches of mine love me.... "
" See, Before I met them, they were all women of their own standing, ambition and pride. But, now look at them. Just random slaves, who will rejoice on every touch of mine like loyal bitches they are... "
With a thought, Alex waved his hand made both Cecelia and Vienna kneel before his legs.
Pointing at Vienna below him, Alex commented, " This woman used to be in military, she was also the daughter-in-law of Walton's heir. With great future prospects with the one she loved. But, I stole her body and soul against her will, while her fiance watched there helplessly. Can you do it? And still hold the heart of a woman like I do after murdering their loved ones? "
As Franklin watched Cecelia and Vienna who were even stronger than himself acting like dogs for Alex, his words couldn't help but pierce the deepest masculine desire in his heart which he had never let surface.
He wanted to shoot back, but a warm hand held his making him suddenly surprised.
" He is using some sorcery to play with your mind. Don't let him! " Georgia's soothing voice suddenly brought Franklin back.
He now couldn't help but be fearful, wondering how he lost control of his own thoughts.
Alex meanwhile, just smirked, " Is she your woman bro? I might not look much of it, but I'm really good at recognizing people's heart. This woman is a scheming bitch. She must have seduced you to use your abilities... "
" Don't bother trying to drive a wedge here. Georgia and I are partners for life. We believe in each other completely, " Franklin replied.
His and Georgia's relationship had finally made some progress, he couldn't let it warm down.
Georgia's eyes sure enough softened, when she heard his confident words.
But, Alex mockingly smiled, " Oh really? I don't think so. Just like you're trying to use her. She is doing the same. You should know, that one day, when one of yours value is gone, the other one will leave that one to die. Only thing that might be significant is who looses their value first haha... But, my friend Franklin, what if I can let you have her complete loyalty. Just like the bitches that are grovelling before me? "
Franklin was stunned to hear Alex's last words, now looking at unclothed Cecelia and Vienna rubbing their faces on Alex's feet like dogs and then imagining proud and haughty Georgia in that...
" Don't compare me with you monster. I love Georgia as who she is not like those soulless puppets under you. At least an alien like you aren't worthy of commenting on our pure relationship, " Franklin snorted, winning some more points in Georgia's heart.
" I see. I see. But, I'm not lying... I can really turn you into a Player! " Alex's relaxed words sent shock through the people on other side.
Georgia's first instinct as a woman was to stare at Franklin, and noticing him in daze she couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
" Franklin he is clearly lying. We have already tested multiple subjects. Even in their World, Players were randomly chosen through tutorials. He doesn't have an ability to turn you into a Player. "
Franklin hurriedly snapped out of it, when he heard Georgia's words.
As a veteran womanizer, he knew that he had messed up for a moment.
With his current status and strength, he had momentarily gotten greedy for absolute powers like that of Players...
" You're right. I was just thinking about severe implications, if he can really create more Players... " He quickly said.
But, Georgia wasn't an idiot, she just nodded and didn't comment anymore.
Franklin was furious, he turned to Rain, " What are you waiting for?! Start the Game! I'll go in first round! "
Rain inwardly mocked Franklin, thinking you messed up and now are shouting on me. What a stupid bastard.
But, he didn't disobey and accepted the Start of 'The Game'.
Alex on the other side wasn't offended, he just smiled and lied once again, " If you intentionally loose this round, I'll turn you into a Player over few cooperative conditions."
After speaking he went back to his seat, and casually leaned into his sister's lap, before pressing 'Start Game' button before him.
" Cecelia, you will go first. Come here, " He ordered.
" Yes Master! " Cecelia nodded seriously as she approached him.
Alex pulled her on his lap and kissed her velvety red lips, feeling the softness over them.
At the same time, he pulled out his cock and shoved it into her wet cunt.
" Ah~ Thank you Master~" Surprised Cecelia happily moaned.
Meanwhile, at the same time Alex sent his mana throughout Cecelia's body and stretched her mana meridians.
Cecelia groaned in pain, but her Master's lips and the throbbing cock of his in her core made her calm down.
But, as the pain increased she involuntarily increased the intensity of her kissing, while shaking her hips faster.
" Ahh~ Ahh... Master~ I love you~ "
Franklin and others on the other side were stunned as they watched Cecelia getting fucked so brazenly.
Alsa and Georgia turned around with red faces, commenting, " Beasts! " " Vulgar bastards! "
Franklin also did the same with gloomy face, after taking an envious glance at Alex's huge cock messing up Cecelia's squirting pussy.
Meanwhile, Alex didn't care much for the show, just when he was about to cum he pulled out his cock and came all over Cecelia's milky white body.
" Master~~~ " Cecelia similarly came, and hugged Alex tightly.
" Hmm. Now you're ready. I have stretched your meridians. you should be able to use at least 50 times more mana than before, but it will be painful for a while, " Alex gently stroked Cecelia's hair.
Cecelia nodded and took a deep breath of mana, while feeling the changes in her body.
Her whole body was burning, but the feeling of power was undeniable.
She could feel the turbulent flow of mana through her veins which made her ecstatic yet pained.
But, knowing that this was her Master's gift, she kissed him back emotionally, " I will definitely win for you Master~ "
" Okay. Now go, " Alex chose her for first round.
Next moment, she disappeared from where she was.
Franklin on the other side had also disappeared by now.
A large screen showed up, in the white place showing where Cecelia and Franklin had been teleported.
In it, there was green forest everywhere with tall and dense trees spanning in every direction.
At this moment two figures were standing at the edge of forest.
They were obviously Cecelia and Franklin.
The watchers from the white room could see them extremely clearly on the screen, as if the two people were right there.
On Cecelia's head there was a blue bar, while Franklin's head had a red bar.
The rules were clear, whoever's health bar ends first, looses.
There wasn't much suspense before both parties flew at a rapid speed at each other.
Cecelia's gauntlet clad fists landed on Franklin with destructive power.
" W-What!? That's clearly not Stage 4 strength! " Alsa shockingly looked at the destructive aura around Cecelia.
Even through screen she could feel that terror.
" It really isn't... May be she is using some artifact. Or some ability... " Georgia frowned.
" Franklin is only at Stage 3 , he might loose... "
" Don't worry, just watch on, " Even while frowning her forehead, Georgia confidently said.
Alsa didn't speak again, having read about Franklin's mysterious ability before.
Sure enough, in the screen the scene where Franklin should have been defeated didn't appear.
With his sword, he stood where he was like an unmovable mountain, raising his hand to stop Cecelia's first assault.
Looking at the beauty before him, he frowned, " Last time, when we met, you were not this strong. Fortunately, the stronger my opponent is the stronger my own strength will be. "
Cecelia was also shocked, she didn't expect Franklin to survive that unscathed.
She hurriedly dodged his sword and fell back.
Looking at Franklin, gracefully holding his sword like a golden knight her heart was filled with doubts.
Cecelia knew that, if Alex hadn't fucked her right before sending her in here, she would have passed out from the pain in her meridians.
But, Franklin even though had benefit of her enhanced strength, he had no side effects at all.
This ability was broken!
Alex on the outside also saw this.
" Really a good ability... " He muttered.
He avoided The Game exactly because of such things which could mess up everything planned.
Looking at the screen, where Cecelia was slowly getting pushed back, Alex waved his hand.
A notification went through everyone's head.
[ Round 1 Winner : Player Rain ]
" Yes! We won! " Franklin raised his hand to high five, as soon as he returned.
Georgia quickly high fived back, but Alsa just smiled and nodded, before looking at the other side of partition.
There, Alex was hugging the sobbing woman who kept apologizing.
" I'm sowwy~ I'm useless~ sob... Sob... "
Alex sighed, and comforted the woman for a moment before his eyes coincidentally met Alsa's who was also looking at him.
But, she quickly averted her eyes and went back to talking with her group.
Meanwhile, Franklin and others talked about the previous round.
" That woman's power was clearly a lot more than before... But, she seemed to be in pain, " Franklin muttered.
" Was it an artifact? " Alsa asked.
" It didn't feel like external power. More like, her body was forcefully filled with mana to the brim... "
" Our mana meridians can't sustain more than a specific limit. If there really is a way to increase that limit, then only a reincarnated Master might be able to do it... " Georgia muttered remembering Odessa talking about similar method from future.
Alsa who heard this was stunned, and couldn't help but take glances at Alex on other side.
" I guess we need to be careful in next rounds... So, should I go next? " Georgia asked next.
Franklin thought for a moment, " I think Alsa should go next. She has powerful artifacts, I think only they can withstand that weird power. What do you say Alsa? "
" Hmm. You're right. I'll go then, " Alsa absentmindedly said.
It was quickly decided, but just then Alex called them from other side.
" Yo, " He greeted.
" What is this? Feeling terrified? You came here to beg? " Franklin mocked.
" Nah. I just want to chat with my friend Alsa there for a moment, " Alex said.
" Your friend? What a joke, " Franklin snorted.
Alsa who heard this was also surprised, " I don't want to. "
" It's about... " Alex said a completely random thing, that as soon as Alsa heard, her eyes widened.
" Wait. Okay. Let's talk, " She said.
Alex smiled and pressed some buttons on invisible screen.
A private room appeared nearby with door on both sides of partition.
" Come in, " Alex casually said, before going in.
Franklin looked at Alsa, " Why did you accept his invitation?"
" Mr Franklin, I don't think I need to tell you everything I do. Thank you for your conceren, " Alsa spoke with annoyance.
Right now her heart was really in turmoil.
Franklin was stunned to hear her words, " I was just worried. Should I come with you? Just in case... "
Alsa shook her head, " Don't worry. He can't do anything to me here. "
Franklin helplessly nodded, as he saw Alsa turning around and entering the room.
As soon as she went in that room, the first thought that appeared in her mind was related to the soothing music in the air...
It was soft and intimate, like a gentle warm hug she had imagined.
She walked forward in slightly dim lights. Her each step came naturally.
She then looked forward to see a single round table with white table cloth and red margins on downside.
There were two plates on the table, and well lit candles which illuminated the red heart shaped balloons nearby.
Her heart stirred, as she then noticed small considerate things that had been clearly well prepared.
Like number of balloons, shape of candles, the style of chairs, the choice of music...
" Do you like it my lady? " A sudden sound in her ears jolted her awake.
" Waa! A-Are you a ghost? " Alsa glared.
" Is there any ghost as charming as me? " Alex laughed.
He had already changed from his beach shorts to the well groomed suit.
On his figure it looked kind of extra cute than handsome, but he had to get it done with this.
" I was imagining you to be a handsome guy. But, you're just a kid. A perverted beast at that, " Alsa replied as she looked back.
Alex sighed, " I am a Player. I have no choice but to use what I have on my hands to survive. If you call me beast for that, then I am and I don't regret it.... "
After speaking seriously, Alex's attitude turned frivolous," But, I'm actually pretty handsome in my real appearance. Well, at least more than that golden boy outside that you have good impression of. But, let's not talk about that. "
" I didn't know, you were a jealous kind, " Alsa spoke.
" You're my woman after all. But, let's not talk about that now. Let's have a dinner, " Alex smiled while looking into Alsa's eyes.
Alsa couldn't help but blush, when she saw intense emotions in his eyes.
She hurriedly looked away and muttered, " I'm not your woman. Also, It's morning outside. How can it be dinner. "
" Come on, you think too much, " Alex held Alsa's shoulders and brought her to the chair.
He was relieved, that Alsa didn't resist otherwise he wouldn't have been able to touch her.
That meant, there was a chance...
Like a gentleman, he pulled the chair for her and made sure she was well seated.
He took the seat next, as food magically appeared out of his portable inventory.
Alsa again sighed, when she saw her favorite wine and food.
How could she not understand now...
That the white haired Player before her was the exact same one who had accompanied her in multiple nights.
Actually, she had long had a suspicion that there was something wrong with her lady Cynthia.
Later on, it only solidified.
Now, she was completely sure...
The candlelight dinner continued for a while, as Alsa and Alex naturally chatted, completely forgetting where they were.
Initially Alsa had been reserved, but Alex's was a smooth talker.
With their previous relationship, he quickly found multiple common topics to chat on.
It was just like before, when they would spend the night entwined together saying completely random things and enjoying each other's company.
But, good time finally had to end...
Alex didn't stop Alsa when she left without any word.
He knew, that she needed a moment to think by herself.
