CRACKKKK—
The sound ripped through Reon's skull like a chainsaw kissing bone.
His left arm exploded in white-hot agony. No cut. No blood. Just pure, soul-deep fire twisting every nerve he'd ever poured into those gloves.
He jackknifed up from the mud, eyes bulging, mouth open in a silent scream that finally tore out—
"FUUUUUUCK—WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY HAND?!"
Shizu froze mid-swing, spear still raised.
River water dripped from her silver-blue hair, sliding down her neck and vanishing between her tits. Her white crop top clung soaked to every curve, nipples dark and hard against the fabric. Black panties rode high, the thin material molded to her like a second skin.
She lowered the spear slowly, eyes narrowing as she studied him like fresh prey.
"So it's linked," she said, voice low and steady. "Every time I stab a fish, you feel it. Deep. Inside."
She stepped closer, bare feet sinking into the mud. Her panties were wedged deep between her cheeks, ass flexing with each step. She crouched right in front of him, close enough that her breath ghosted across his chest.
"Relax. I'm not trying to kill you. I'm trying to feed us. You were out cold for hours. Figured you'd want dinner when you woke up."
Reon glared, chest heaving. His black pants were the only thing left on him, soaked and clinging to every line of his body.
"You figured wrong. That glove is part of my core. You just turned my soul into sushi bait."
Shizu's lips curved, slow and dangerous. She dragged the spear tip along the ground, deliberately scraping another scale.
Reon's body jerked again, a low groan slipping out before he could stop it.
"See?" she murmured, voice dropping. "Every scrape… you feel it. Deep. Inside."
She stood, hips swaying as she walked to the fire pit she'd dug earlier. The flames crackled under the giant trout. She bent over to turn the fish, ass pointed straight at him, panties stretched tight.
Reon's throat went dry.
"Stop staring and come eat," she called without turning around. "Unless you want me to feed you. Mouth to mouth. I'm good at that."
He pushed himself up, arm still throbbing, and stumbled over. The pit was tiny. When he sat, their thighs pressed together instantly. Heat poured off her skin.
Shizu tore off a chunk of steaming fish with her fingers and held it out.
"Open."
He took the bite. Hot, flaky, perfect.
She licked grease from her own fingers, eyes never leaving his.
"Better than dying in the river, right? You owe me. Big time."
Reon swallowed, voice rough. "I don't owe you shit. You used my body as a fishing rod."
Shizu laughed low, leaning in until her tits brushed his arm.
"Technically, I used part of you. And you liked it. I felt the twitch when I scraped that scale. Don't lie."
The System pinged weakly between them, the blue screen popping up again, jiggly and bright.
[Anium Manifestation Protocol: Self-creations are extensions of host core energy. Damage transfers fully. Negative synergy detected. Current use: tactical seafood acquisition. Enjoy being a pointy stick, host.]
Shizu poked the floating screen with one wet finger.
Boing.
"Floating magic paper. It's talking shit about you."
Reon grabbed her wrist before she could press anything.
"Don't. Touch. That."
Her skin was warm, slick from the river. She didn't pull away. Instead she twisted her hand so her fingers laced with his, thumb stroking the inside of his palm.
"Why? Scared I'll break something else?"
Her voice had dropped, husky now. The firelight danced across her wet body, making every drop on her skin look like liquid gold.
Reon's pants felt way too tight.
"Shizu…"
"Say my name again like that and I might actually listen."
She shifted closer. Their hips touched. Her thigh slid over his, pressing down just enough to feel how hard he was getting.
"You're linked to me now, Sky-Boy. Every time I touch this spear, you feel it. Every time I move…" She rocked her hips once, slow. "…you feel that too."
Reon's breath hitched.
The monkeys in the trees started chattering again, one of them swinging down and snatching the spear right out of her hand.
CRACK.
Reon's arm spasmed hard. He groaned, head falling back.
Shizu burst out laughing, full and dirty.
"Oh my god—the monkeys stole your soul stick! Look at them fighting over it!"
Two Giggle Monkeys were now wrestling the spear, one of them poking the other in the ass with the sharp end. The poked monkey squealed and peed a little in terror.
Reon couldn't help it. He started laughing too, deep and helpless.
"This is my life now. Getting edged by a river girl and robbed by horny monkeys."
Shizu wiped tears from her eyes, still giggling.
"Welcome to the club. I've been edged by life for years."
She stood up, stretching slow. The crop top rode higher, showing the underside of her tits. She walked to the monkeys, hips swaying, and snatched the spear back with zero fear.
"Give that back, you little shits. It's mine now."
The monkeys scattered, still laughing hysterically.
Shizu came back, spear in one hand, and dropped right into Reon's lap like she belonged there.
Her ass settled perfectly against him. She felt exactly how hard he was.
"Oops," she whispered, not moving away. "Comfy?"
Reon's hands landed on her hips without thinking.
"Shizu…"
"Say it again."
She rocked once, deliberate. The friction made his head spin.
The System screen flashed again, brighter.
[Companion Link forming… Partial admin access granted. Warning: Pleasure and pain now shared 50/50.]
Shizu's eyes widened.
"Wait… so if I feel good…"
She rolled her hips again, slower, grinding down.
Reon groaned, fingers digging into her waist.
"…you feel it too?"
The fire crackled. The monkeys watched from the trees like perverted little perverts.
Shizu leaned in, lips brushing his ear.
"Then let's test it."
She reached down, fingers tracing the outline of him through his pants.
"Feels like you're already ready for round one."
Reon's voice came out rough.
"You're dangerous."
"Damn right I am."
She squeezed once, firm.
The System pinged again.
[ Dignity -85. Erection +100. Link stability rising.]
Shizu laughed against his neck.
"Look at that. Even your magic paper thinks I'm winning."
She stood up just enough to peel her soaked crop top off completely, letting it drop into the mud. Her tits bounced free, nipples hard from the night air and the heat between them.
"Your turn. Pants off. I want to see what else I'm linked to."
Miles downstream, the rice fields shimmered under the blazing midday sun.
In the distance, half-hidden between tall green stalks, a young farmer had his neighbor's wife bent over a low mud wall. Her skirt was bunched at her waist, his pants around his ankles. They moved fast, desperate, skin slapping wet and loud.
"Harder," she gasped, voice shaky. "Before the guards come back."
He gripped her hips, thrusting deeper, grunting like an animal. Her tits swung free, bouncing with every slam. She reached back, spreading herself wider, moaning loud enough that the wind carried the sound across the field.
A group of older teens—walked the path toward the learning center. They heard every wet slap, every moan. One boy's face turned bright red. A girl next to him bit her lip hard, thighs pressing together as she walked.
"Keep walking," the oldest whispered. "Pretend you don't hear it. Everyone does it."
The moans peaked with a sharp cry as the farmer finished inside her. The couple collapsed against the wall, panting, cum dripping down her thigh. The teens kept going, cheeks burning, but their steps were slower now, bodies tense with the same heat.
The learning center was just a big mud-brick hut with a straw roof and one long bench. The teacher stood at the front, chalk in hand, trying to explain basic rune drawing. Half the seats were empty. The kids who were there kept glancing toward the fields, ears straining, legs shifting under the bench.
Outside, the guards arrived.
Twenty men in black leather, swords rattling, boots stomping through the dirt. Their captain raised a hand.
"Search every hut. Every field. Ask about the man who fell from the sky. Black gloves. Red eyes. Anyone who saw him fly, anyone who helped him—speak now."
The villagers froze.
No one answered.
The captain's face darkened.
"Wrong answer."
He pointed at a young couple standing near the granary. The man had his arm around the woman's waist.
"You two. Talk."
The man shook his head. "We saw nothing."
The captain nodded to two guards.
They grabbed the woman, slammed her against the granary wall. One ripped her blouse open, tits spilling out. The other yanked her skirt up.
"Right here. In front of everyone."
The woman gasped as the first guard shoved his thick cock inside her in one brutal thrust. She cried out, fingers clawing the wall. The second guard held her arms, watching with a grin.
"Still nothing?" the captain asked the man.
The man clenched his fists. "We saw nothing."
The captain sighed.
"Break him."
Two guards dragged the man to the center of the square. One pulled out a whip—thick braided leather. The first lash landed across his back with a wet *CRACK*. Blood welled instantly.
The man grunted but stayed silent.
Second lash.
Third.
Fourth—harder. Skin split open. Blood ran down his legs.
Still nothing.
The captain looked at the woman being fucked against the wall.
"Make her scream louder."
The guard behind her thrust harder, slapping her ass red. She moaned, half pain, half forced pleasure, body shaking.
The kids at the learning center peeked through the cracks in the wall. One girl covered her mouth. A boy looked away, face pale, but his hand was under the bench.
The teacher kept writing on the board like nothing was happening.
"Focus on your runes," he muttered. "This is normal."
In the rice field, the secret couple had stopped. The farmer pulled out, pants still down, watching the square in horror. His wife's cum leaked down her leg as she stared.
The captain walked over to an old man sitting on a stool.
"You. Old timer. You see the flying man?"
The old man spat on the ground. "No."
The captain nodded.
Two guards grabbed him. They forced him to his knees. One took a thick wooden club.
THUD.
The club slammed into the old man's ribs. Bone cracked.
THUD.
Again. Blood sprayed from his mouth.
Still the old man said nothing.
The captain's voice rose.
"Someone saw him! Someone helped him! Talk or we burn every field and fuck every woman here until someone breaks!"
A young woman in the back finally cracked.
"I… I saw a red streak in the sky yesterday. That's all. He flew toward the river. That's it."
The captain smiled coldly.
"Too late."
He pointed at her.
The guards dragged her forward. One ripped her dress down the front. The other forced her onto all fours in the dirt.
"Make an example."
The first guard took her from behind, rough and deep. She cried out, fingers digging into the ground. The second guard knelt in front of her, forcing himself into her mouth.
The square filled with wet sounds and muffled cries.
No one looked away.
Another guard grabbed a mother from her hut. He bent her over a cart, skirt up, and fucked her hard while her husband watched, face twisted.
"Talk or your wife gets the whole squad."
The husband stayed silent.
The guard thrust harder, slapping her ass.
In the learning center, the kids heard everything. One girl's hand slipped between her thighs under the bench. She bit her lip, breathing fast.
The teacher didn't stop the lesson.
In the rice field, a group of three villagers—two men and one woman—were now fucking openly behind the stalks. The woman was on her knees, taking one in her mouth and the other from behind, moaning loud enough that the guards could hear.
The captain laughed.
"See? Even they know how to behave."
He pointed at a protesting old woman who shouted "Stop this madness!"
Two guards grabbed her. They stripped her naked in the square, tied her wrists to a post, and took turns whipping her back until blood ran down her legs.
She screamed with every lash.
Still no one gave a name.
The guards kept going—hut after hut, field after field. Women bent over, men forced to watch, moans and cries mixing with the crack of whips and the thud of clubs.
The village kept its secrets.
The fear was thick.
The chaos was thicker.
And the search had only just begun.
