Village Head's Debauchery

Meanwhile, Orion relaxed, responding proactively to their movements as he attended to each of them one by one, ensuring the tension in the air dissipated and leaving them all with satisfying smiles as they drifted off to sleep.

Fiona and Vivian soon descended the stairs, ready to join them on the bed.

The night turned out even more pleasant than he had anticipated.

….....

The days flew by as the Awakening Ceremony was put on hold to focus on reconstructing the Village Chief's Compound. Former Village Chief Brane entrusted Orion with the leadership of reconstructing the Village Chief's Compound as the Village Chief, and the entire structure underwent a complete redesign and expansion.

He was mindful not to overwhelm Former Village Chief Brane and Chieftess Zara with unfamiliar designs, so he maintained the traditional hut-like structure but expanded the compound fivefold.

He incorporated modern features such as floors, an advanced ventilation system designed by the Prismerions for optimal climate control, luxurious bedrooms and bathing areas, and a private garden stocked with plants and fruits from both the farm and garden, tended by tree nymphs and visited by Pixies.

This development also facilitated the Pixies' integration into Paradise, allowing them to socialize more freely with other races and the villagers.

During these days, Orion kept a vigilant watch over the sleeping goddess, occasionally leaving Aerialia to monitor her to ensure she remained inactive by choice. However, after confirming she wasn't feigning sleep, Orion wondered if his attack had somehow done something wrong to her resurrection.

….

After three days, the inner strength evaluation to confirm one's potential to become a warrior marked the near culmination of the awakening ceremony.

"Next," bellowed a man who looked familiar to Orion, having tested his evaluation the previous year. He held a globe-like black crystal with both palms as he stood before the twenty-five individuals participating in this year's ceremony, lined up in anticipation.

Flanking them stood some of the village's most well-known warriors from the Rightward and Leftward Strongholds and the Key Leaders on the other. Each observed intently, eager to identify the emerging powerful warrior of the year.

A young man stepped forward and placed his hand on the crystal. It emitted an intense, dazzling, milky-white light that lasted a few seconds before fading into faint wisps of light flickering around. Finally, the light settled in the centre, forming four bright, miniature crystal stars.

"Four stars!" announced the man holding the crystal, a broad smile spreading. Having already identified four three-star potentials out of the initial ten individuals, all possessing one to two-star potential, he was especially thrilled by the emergence of another four-star inner strength potential, mainly since they had only seen one alongside a six-star potential last year.

Despite his excitement, he composed himself and gestured for the young man to step aside. "Next!" he called out loudly, prompting the next participant to come forward.

Gina placed her hand on the crystal, her heart racing as she watched it shine brightly before dimming and settling to reveal four bright miniature crystal stars.

"Four stars!!" the man bellowed enthusiastically, laughter bubbling up after his announcement.

Incredible! Two four-star potentials!!

At this moment, even if none of the remaining candidates awaken with more than two-star potential, it wouldn't matter because these two were already more than enough.

Orion, his wives, Former Village Chief Brane, and the others all beamed with smiles upon hearing the announcement. Despite the development of the Vylkr Fusion Armlet, which promised to enhance Vylkr warriors' potential, natural talent and growth remained invaluable.

It meant they could still surpass their potential and stand out, like Stronghold Leader Zogar, who could achieve more with his higher potential than others with lesser abilities.

"Congratulations. It seems we are truly destined to soar through the sky and dominate any Runaway Cities we encounter in the future, even for generations to come," Former Village Chief Brane said, happily tapping Orion on the side of his shoulder with his arm around him.

"Your parents have blessed this village, producing two exceptional seeds like you and your younger sister. Do you happen to know who your father is so we can locate him and encourage him to produce more?" Former Village Chieftess Zara asked, her curiosity piqued as she awaited Orion's response.

Orion shook his head with a wry smile. As he was about to reply, Celeste interjected, "Unfortunately, Orion's father had passed away due to an irreversible injury inflicted by a three-

star Vylkr vine," she sighed.

Orion was curious about this information, wondering about the man who had fathered a reincarnator like him. He had learned that he and Gina shared the same father, who had died protecting the village from a three-star Vylkr vine. Meanwhile, Reena's father worked on the farm and passed away in a farm accident.

Former Village Chief Zara's eyes widened in realization. In the past, it was common for warriors to sacrifice themselves in defence against the Vylkr vines, which had often forced them to resort to desperate measures for survival.

She immediately regretted her question and nodded understanding before redirecting her attention to the rest of the evaluation results.

"Next!"

"Three stars!"

"One Star!"

"Three-star!!"

After the evaluation, two individuals awakened with four-star potentials, while eleven individuals attained three-star potentials. The rest ranged from one-star to two-star potentials.

The emergence of multiple warriors with higher potentials than before heightened the atmosphere with joy. Coupled with the advent of the Vylkr Fusion Armlet, which promised to push warriors beyond their limits, the Key Leaders were filled with even greater satisfaction.

Two hours later, everyone had dispersed, leaving only Orion and Reena, who were preparing to meet with the former Village Chief and Chieftess to discuss further developments regarding the new warriors. Gina accompanied them as their escort.

Unexpectedly, Gina leapt up and wrapped her limbs around Orion, sealing his lips passionately. Orion reciprocated eagerly.

Sensing something behind her, Gina raised her hand, stopping Reena's hand, which was about to hit her behind.

"Can't you at least respect my position as the Village Chieftess and stop clinging to the Village Chief?" Reena said, frowning.
