Is this really a Game?!

Reign once again started thinking about what had happened last night, once he arrived at his room, instead of simply dropping him off, Lieara came inside with him. They both had a short moment of staring into each other's eyes before Reign took the lead and kissed her. Their tongues intertwined as they exchanged a deep kiss.

Soon they moved on from the kiss, stripping each other's clothes the two moved to his bed. Their naked bodies intertwined as the sounds of moaning and clapping could be heard from the room. The two didn't speak at all during this time, it was a simple and primal exchange between the two as Lieara moved her hips in order to match him. It was like the two weren't simply making love but having a battle to see who was better and who would surrender first.

With a bit of help from his ability Reign used a small bit of his lightning during the deed in order to make Lieara moan and convulse in pleasure. After some time the two finally finished the bout and fell asleep.

"Hhhmmm." Lieara suddenly opened her eyes and stretched, her ample breasts being in full view of Reign who could feel his blood rushing to one place. After stretching and yawning Lieara turned around and stared at Reign before flashing a wry smile at him.

"Good morning."

"Umm, morning?" Reign said with a bit of confusion, even though the two were on good terms and even danced a bit last night he really didn't think that something like this would happen. From what he had seen Lieara was a tough person and was quite straightforward, thanks to that he wasn't really shocked by what had happened, but he never thought there was any sort of sexual tension between them or anything like that.

"What, cat got your tongue." Lieara chuckled at Reign before leaning in and kissing him, her hand soon wandered lower until she grabbed what she was aiming for, "At least somebody is honest."

"Um, Lieara, I don't really understand why-"

"Let's say it's a thank you for yesterday." Lieara cut him off by kissing him once more before speaking softly to him.

"You didn't have to act so nice you know?" She continued, "And plus, I like strong men."

With that, she straddled him before initiating another deep kiss. Reign was a bit confused, but his other head was currently the one that had more control and soon he complied and started moving as well. Moaning again could be heard from his room, luckily nobody was passing nearby.

As Reign and Lieara finished their 'morning stretches' the two got out of bed before looking for their clothes. Thanks to last night their clothes were flung everywhere in the room.

"Ahhh, well kid, I'm baaaac- dear me, that is, oh dear, good job kid." Suddenly Aethion's cheerful voice reverberated through Reign's head, jolting him awake and making him feel slightly embarrassed.

'What the hell man?!' Reign cursed in his mind as Lieara still had her back turned to him.

'You've been fcking gone for days and now you suddenly come back?!'

"Well, I had to kid." Aethion explains, "You think it was ease casting the spell to protect your thoughts from the elf bitch so many times?!

"The first time was alright, second as well, but more than that, and my soul power was gone and I had to hibernate, that way I was still able to keep the spell semi-activated when nothing was trying to read your thoughts and gather my strength back!"

'The hell, why didn't you say anything sooner then?'

"Would it have mattered, I still needed to hide your thoughts from her anyway."

'It would, this might not have happened, and stop staring at her!'

"You stop staring, I'm seeing from your eyes, you dolt!"

Reign and Lieara put on clothes as Reign tried his best not to show any emotions, his mind however was in slight disarray, he felt as if he violated some sort of trust between himself and Lieara by letting the old bastard look at her naked body like that. Even though it wasn't his fault he still felt a bit guilty.

"Alright, I'm going to get some breakfast, I'll see you later." Lieara calmly said as she opened the door of Reign's room and stepped outside before swiftly going to her room, even though she said she was going to have breakfast, she actually needed to change her clothes first.

"But still, good job kid, where'd you find this girl, I don't remember her being with you guys at all previously, you started making a harem or what?"

'Shut up, it's not like that.'

"Hmmm, this room looks different compared to yours as well, are we not in your territory perhaps?"

'Try planet.'

"Huh?"

'We're on a different planet old man.'

"What the-"

Reign spent the next couple of minutes explaining things to Aethion, after hearing the requirement for Reign's first evolution the old man was silent for some time. Even for him, it was a first to hear such a sky-high requirement.

"That really is troubling, you might not know kid but the difference between someone who was gone through the first evolution and those that haven't is incredibly high, almost as high as the difference between a Transcendent and someone at the peak of the leveling phase."

'I figured it was large, just the mana the king released was incredibly powerful.'

"Yes, now of course there are some races that can match first evolution combatants of other races even before going through one, but they also have a disadvantage, and that is that it's many times harder for them to go through the first evolution."

'I see, well, that's reassuring and not at the same time.'

"I know kid, but what can you do, there is a myriad of races in the universe, as far as the system is, some of them still have inherent advantages toward other races, like your friend Greenie for example, as a Vajra he can go past Transcendent level with relative ease, but after that, it will be many times harder for him, of course not as hard as the true Vajras, but still quite hard."

'Well, we'll think of that later, for now, I'm gonna go and have some breakfast.'

Reign left the room and went down to the huge dining hall. Hundreds of soldiers were present and all of them smiled brightly at him after seeing him. Even though they have only met Reign and they knew that in terms of power and rank he was many times above them, his relaxed and calm behavior last night made a lot of them look fondly at him. They could see that the powerful young man was not like the other nobles and notable figures, but more like the higher-ups in the castle, thanks to that they were able to relax a bit when being together with him in the same area.

After taking his food and sitting down to eat, Reign was met with weird looks from the soldiers. He immediately understood that something was wrong, but he didn't know what.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Huh?" A soldier close to Reign was a bit taken aback after Reign spoke to him.

"Why is everyone looking at me so weirdly, did I do anything wrong?"

"Ah, sir, no sir, it's just that sir, Ummm… we didn't expect sir to eat here, since, um… since all the higher-ups have their own dining hall that's past ours."

"Oh, I see, well, the food here is good enough so screw it." Reign said before continuing to eat, the breakfast for the soldiers was relatively good, there were a couple of slices of some black bread that actually tasted alright and a couple of eggs and a bit of meat.

As Reign was eating a person suddenly sat down next to him, upon glancing to the side Reign was able to see Dain, the commander of the fortification sitting next to him.

"Good morning lad, I see you decided to have a meal with the rest of the guys huh?"

"Well-"

"That's nice, that's nice hahahahaha." Dain suddenly started laughing, "Most of the others eat in the other room, but I always felt that it was kind of weird, it's similar to what those posh nobles like doing, so I just prefer having my meals here with the rest of the soldiers."

Upon listening to Dain, Reign simply smiled before continuing to eat his breakfast. He had to admit that it wasn't weird for him to eat in a room with the other higher-ups, but the dining hall was also fine as he had always eaten in such places in the school.

Even though that had changed after the game had started and he and the others had gained territory, he still didn't mind something like this. After breakfast he and Dain made their way over to Raigon's office, it was time for them to calculate the spoils of war and how to distribute it.
