Is this really a Game?!



"Lucky guess." Reign said, to which Liara's face got red again before she quickly got the blanket and covered herself before looking at the window.

"Get dressed, and do it in the bathroom, I want to get dressed as well, it's too embarrassing to do it in front of you," Liara said with a blush as Reign simply nodded before picking up his clothes and going inside the bathroom.

"You didn't tell her about Lieara, huh?" Aethion asked Reign who nodded his head.

'She doesn't remember last night, which is good, I spoke too much, remember what the mission is, it's to find out 'what' Liara is, not who, so I don't want to tell her too much and fail the mission that way, I need to proceed carefully and try to figure out just what her connection with Lieara is, after all, not only does she look like her and have her voice, but even the birthmarks are at the exact same place.'

'Other than some slight differences in their bodies, as well as the fact that she is now acting completely differently from last night, with even her mannerism changing greatly compared to then, she really is like a carbon copy of Lieara, I just need to figure out why she was acting like that last night, she said she got some sort of feeling toward me and that is why she approached me.'

'The fact that she doesn't remember a single word she said last night is another thing I noticed, it's too weird, she was acting a bit too much like Lieara last night, and this morning she is suddenly acting completely differently, and doesn't remember what she said or did last night, something happened, I just need to figure out what, and I will be a step closer to completing that mission.' Reign said in a calm manner as he got in the shower.

After all, they had 'done' it last night and didn't take a shower, he was a bit sweaty and felt uncomfortable because of it. Just as he turned on the shower, the door opened and Liara entered the bathroom.

"Ummm … I need to shower," Liara said as she looked away and pouted slightly.

"Yeah, me too, I'll be done quickly." Reign said, but to his surprise, Liara walked forward and entered the shower.

"No time, it's fast this way, just … just don't turn around, alright?" Liara asked Reign who nodded his head and continued showering.

The two spent about 2 minutes like that before suddenly, Reign felt two hands hugging him from behind and the warm breath of Liara on his neck.

"Liara, what are you doing?" Reign asked before looking at Liara, but her eyes looked blank and unfocused and her face was blushing heavily.

"I don't know," Liara said robotically before kissing him suddenly. Reign quickly pulled back from the kiss and stared at Liara who seemed to be in a sort of trance-like state.

'Aethion, Jared, what the hell is going on, what's wrong with her?' Reign asked as he placed his palm over Liara's face in order to keep her away, but even with that, she was still doing her best to get closer to him.

"No idea."

"I don't know Master, it is a very confusing situation you have found yourself in," Jared said as Aethion nodded his head as he also didn't understand what was going on.

Suddenly, Reign's hand went forward as Liara's head went down.

She had crouched, and right now, her right hand was between Reign's legs, as was his face.

"Hey, Liara, what ar-" Reign's sentence was cut short by a slightly groan of pleasure as Liara opened her mouth and started 'servicing' him.

'Dammit, it's not that I mind, but not like this, she is definitely not in full control over her body right now.' Reign said as he tried to get Liara away from him, but was failing.

'Shit, what do I do?' Reign thought as he looked around before looking down at Liara. In the end, he decided to forcefully grab her by her hair and pull her away, only for her to hug him with both of her arms in order to stay there.

'Think Reign, think, is she doing this subconsciously, is it something with her soul that is making her do this, maybe the fragments of Lieara's soul?' Suddenly, Reign's eyes opened wide.

'Aethion, where are the fragments of Lieara's soul?!'

"They're right there," Aethion said as he pointed to the side, only for his hand to freeze and for him to blink a couple of times in quick succession as the fragments were moving.

Reign quickly used his soul manipulation and peeked inside Liara's soul, only to find something weird.

Her soul was still different from Lieara's, but deep inside of it, he could sense a fluctuation appearing. He went deeper into her soul, even utilizing soul power and going in with his own soul in order to better see what was going on.

As he did that, his hands, which were holding Liara's hair, loosened up, as did Liara's hands that were hugging him while her face went backward, allowing her to breathe.

Both of them were motionless as Reign explored her soul, and inside it, he finally found what he was searching for. Deep inside Liara's soul, a vortex could be found.

Reign sensed a weird energy coming from the vortex which was trying to pull his soul toward it, but Reign was powerful enough to withstand the suction of the vortex, at least from where he was currently at. If he went closer to the vortex, he might be pulled into it.

'What the hell is this?'

"I'm afraid I have no idea, dammit, the closer you get to that thing, the more power it's using to get the fragments!" Aethion was currently standing in front of the fragments of Lieara's soul and was doing his best to utilize his own soul power and keep them away from the vortex which was doing its best to suck them in.

'Is this friendly, will something bad happen if the fragments go in it, or will something good occur?' Reign asked himself as he stared at the vortex, but he couldn't come to a satisfying conclusion.

Should he risk it and allow the vortex to get Lieara's fragments?

No, it was too risky, and before he can get more information on it, the best course of action was to stay away from it. He suddenly exhaled and summoned his army of souls before using some of them and placing them around the vortex. Suddenly, the souls started twisting around before creating a sort of barrier.

It took quite a lot of power for Reign to do such a thing as the vortex was doing its best to suck in the souls as well, he had to pour his mana and soul power into the souls and control them before slowly creating the barrier that went around the entire vortex. Slowly but surely, it was being created, and luckily, there seemed to be no response from the vortex as it continued acting the same the entire time.

The moment Reign formed the barrier, he sighed in relief as the suction from the vortex was gone, but the problem was still there. The barrier wouldn't last forever, in the best-case scenario, it would last two days before being destroyed and sucked into the vortex.

Reign used 40 souls to create the barrier, and luckily, he could get more from the demons each day during his exploration, so it wasn't a problem for him to continue making barriers in order to shield Liara and Lieara's soul fragments from the vortex.

Suddenly, Reign returned to his body as Liara's previously blank eyes returned to normal. She blinked as she suddenly found herself on her knees, and in front of her was … skin.

Something was in her mouth, and Liara even used her tongue to get a better idea of what it was before looking down, only to hear a slight groan from above.

"Liara, would you mind stopping that?'

"Ouch!" Reign suddenly yelled out in pain as Liara bit him as she was surprised to hear his voice, and was shocked when she realized what was in her mouth. 

Reign held his precious dragon and used the power of light to immediately heal the wound before leaning against the wall and exhaling deeply.

"Sorry," Liara said before shaking her head.

"Wait, why am I sorry, it's your fault, you did that to me, didn't you?" Liara asked Reign as a halberd suddenly appeared in her arm. She pointed it at Reign, and the tip of the halberd was right in front of his neck.

'She even uses the same weapon.' Reign thought as his face turned serious.

"I did nothing but bring you back to normal, so please get that thing out of my face."

"You wish, you know, I did find it weird how I was drawn over to you last night, not to mention the fact I even gave you my first time, and now this, there is no way that you haven't done anything to me."

"I will give you 5 seconds to speak, if your answer is not good enough, I will-" Before Liara could finish the sentence, Reign's eyes flashed as lightning suddenly appeared in the bathroom.

The lightning stunned Liara for an instant, and Reign used that time to push the halberd away and get to Liara before grabbing both of her hands and placing them above her head.
