At the sound of that voice, Sharhan finally snapped out of it and lifted his head. Lestel was slowly raising his upper body. The moment he clearly saw the cloudy semen smeared on Lestel’s chin and lower lip, Sharhan flushed red. Seeing that made the reality hit him, he’d come in Lestel’s mouth. His ears burned red as the heat climbed all the way up. His heart raced wildly, whether from embarrassment, shame, or something else he couldn’t name. Once fully upright, Lestel slowly extended his red…- 264.3 K • Completed
- Startled by Lestel’s sudden action, Sharhan froze in place for a moment before he began to struggle. But the more he tried to escape, the harder Lestel pinned him down. The grip was so tight it hurt. “Are you insane?! Fuck, let go of me!” Sharhan, furious, tried to shove Lestel’s hand away, but it was no use. “Shan, honey. You didn’t sleep with that Ras guy, did you?” “You crazy bastard! I said let go! If you let go now, I swear, I won’t kill you.” That was a lie. The…

- “They filthy bastards are in Verden?!” “Filthy Crotches” was actually a nickname Sharhan had come up with. Their real name was Savage Hawks a second rank mercenary group. Like the Red Wolves, they had been employed by the Marquis of Valmon, but contrary to their fierce and dignified name, they were vile and despicable scum. They were always the first to swarm when sex workers arrived, and they were known to abduct smaller, prettier mercenaries to rape. They’d start fights over…

- “Sharhan?” Hearing his name, Abel looked up, saw his face, and finally recognized him. His expression lit up with joy. A smile spread across Sharhan’s face too. He had never expected to run into someone he knew right after arriving in Verden, let alone in a tavern they’d entered just to spend the night. “Abel! You’re alive!” “Sharhan! You made it too!” Abel reached out with a loud laugh, about to hug Sharhan, but froze when he felt the axe blade still pressed against his neck.…

- The area near the barrier entrance was silent. Sharhan checked the inside of the carriage and listened closely for any sign of movement, but there was no sign of people. The moving corpses were nowhere to be seen either. “So quiet. This city never turned off its lights, day or night.” As befitting its name as a city of pleasure, Verden had been filled with every form of entertainment. Gambling, drinking, auctions, taverns, underground fighting rings, and countless sex workers. Where there were…

- Chapter 5: Back to Verden The barricaded entrance to Verden was a complete mess. Both the inside and outside of the gate were crammed with abandoned carriages. The wall was so thoroughly soaked and dried with blood that its original color couldn’t even be seen. Rotten corpses, stripped down to white bone, were scattered everywhere. When the chaos had broken out in the city, people must have lost their minds and rushed the exit all at once, not realizing the outside was just as much hell. It was…

- The awkward silence was broken by an urgent knock at the door. “Master! Are you alright?” It was the coachman’s voice. Only then did Sharhan, who had instinctively stepped back, return to his seat. Lestel opened the carriage door. “What is it?” “I’m sorry. We were almost there, but an addict ran into the road, and we had to stop suddenly. Are you unharmed?” Beyond the open door, an addict was being dragged away by the gambling hall’s guards. Around gambling dens, it was…

- “Is that really true? That places where magic flows are cool regardless of season?” Sharhan asked in surprise, and Derry nodded. “There used to be a few places where magic flowed naturally. Mages often settled around them. It made it easier to fill their cores and helped them grow faster too. But after the war with the monsters, many of those places were destroyed or lost. That’s why they’re so rare now. If you felt magic down there… maybe ancient imperial mages used to live…

- Sharhan screamed as if his throat were tearing. At the same moment, Lestel twisted his body and swung his sword. But the blade, thrown off by the sudden movement, only managed to cut deeply into the moving corpse’s forearm. Muscle split apart, exposing pale bone, but the creature, immune to pain, didn’t even flinch. It grabbed Lestel’s shoulder and immediately brought its teeth toward the exposed flesh. As Lestel fell backward and dropped his sword, a sharp clack echoed, the corpse’s bloodied…

- The snowstorm continued through to the next morning. Winter had arrived abruptly and violently. The fierce winds rattled the cabin, keeping the three of them from getting any real sleep. They woke before sunrise, their noses stinging from the cold air inside. Fortunately, none of them had caught a cold. “This is all we have left.” “Then we’ll eat that.” All that remained was flour. They mixed it with snow melted by body heat to stave off hunger. The flour left their mouths dry, and the…
