“Everyone, can I get your attention, please?”

Viktor said in a charismatic voice to the group gathered on the first floor hall of the pillar. As everyone turned to look at him, he showed them a beaming smile.

“First, I would like to say congratulations to our efforts, for without it we can’t clear level 15. Congratulations to us all!”

“Cheers!!”

The mood has improved tremendously from that one gesture, and Viktor decided it was time to start talking about his plan. He announced that they will be staying here until they reach and clear level 30, where the second level shop can be opened.

“For us to reach this goal, it appears we will need to stay here for another two weeks”

He decided on the timing based on the abilities of his teammates, and the time needed for the seal skin armor he ordered from Martha in Arkhangelsk to be completed.

He planned to gain levels by clearing 15 more levels and hopefully reach sky realm by then, before heading back to the town to retrieve the armor.

Then, he would head to a big city with enough spirit stone in his pocket, decent enough strength to be safe and start a life or a business there.

Viktor then added. “I know that we have spent the last one week fighting almost non-stop, so today we will have a break! Let’s make ourselves at home.”

The last one week. they were only allowed a break with a sleeping bag on the cold floor of the hall, so to lift everyone’s spirits, Viktor proposed the idea of setting up a tent outside the pillar, where the sun and the breezy fresh air could be felt. Perhaps, that would be enough to heal everyone’s minds. After all, unless Boris and Torri were in special forces, the other was not built for such training and fighting.

The group was excited with the idea, so within moments, a plan was formed.-.

Boris and Torri were assigned to place a few simple traps that could ward away any incoming threats on the forest around the pillars.

Barry and Kosta would head together to gather dried woods and stones to prepare a bonfire.

Jessie, Eva, and Liza would prepare the tents that were stashed on the rings.

A few hours passed, and four tents were created. One for Boris and Torri, one for Barry and Kosta, and the others would take the last two. An awkward silence ensued, but Jessie decided to ask first.

“So, sister Eva, would you choose to share a tent with Liza or Viktor?”

It was a simple question, but the awkward silence had somehow turned even more awkward.

Viktor took a quick glance at the two girls staring at him and shrugged. “I wouldn’t mind sharing the bed with any of you.”

Hearing this, Jessie quickly said. “Sister, I think the tent should be enough for the three of us.”

Hearing this Eva only give a smile and nodded, however, she didn’t say any confirmation of yes or no

Now that they have some time out of battle, they took the chance to have some fun. They decided to go all-out, and Kosta even fashioned a quick spear made of wood to catch some fishes in the river. Meanwhile, Torri and Boris picked up some small animals from their traps.

Right as Barry and Kosta returned, all the girls were ready to start preparing a meal.

Viktor took out some of the best ingredients he saved in his ring for the group. There were many things, ranging from fresh seafood, high-grade beef, or even delicacies long lost to the world such as oysters. In addition, he took out half a dozen bottles of liquor to share with the group.

Time flew all too quickly, and in their glee, the group almost failed to notice the day had started to fall. As night blanketed the forest, the group started singing Russian celebratory songs. Some were immersed in swapping stories, ranging from funny ones to the scary ones. Out of the corner of his eyes, Viktor spotted Liza hiding after what sounded like a particularly scary story.

Viktor, however, didn’t fully immerse himself in the atmosphere. He had waited for the mood to set, and then, he knew that it was time to act,

He sat next to the beautiful princess, held her hand, and gave her a little massage, untangling the knots from her sore shoulders and back. His gesture was met with a happy smile and a sigh from her.

“I am sorry you have to live a life like this with me, Eva, it must have been so difficult for you.”

The attention, coupled with his loving gesture, made the girl happy. She returned it with a quick peck on his cheek and said. “I know, but you have proven to me again that I can always depend on you, my dear.”

Knowing the moment has come, Viktor grabbed her hand and slowly led her inside one of the tents, while everyone else was enjoying the night,

Liza spotted them walking in, and she almost stood up to follow. However, knowing what was going on, Jessie grabbed her shoulder and said. “Let sister Eva have some rest, okay? You can stay with sister Jessie here, I will accompany you!” She beamed a confident smile.

Viktor zipped up the tent, gently laid the princess on the softest bed he has, and started to pepper soft kisses on her. He kissed her cheek affectionately first, before moving down to her lips and neck, leaving a trail of marks.

Now that the one-month long quest to get an extra life is over, Viktor doesn’t plan to wait around. He had stifled his desires for so long, he felt like a bomb ready to burst at any moment.

He starts using his best moves touching his finger on Eva’s neck and down to her beautiful firm breast.

As he kissed her, he started to undress her with his free hand, and he left soft marks on the valley of her breasts while unhooking her bra. Then, he gently caressed her breasts, earning a moan of delight from the girl.

Inside, he almost shuddered with ecstasy. Finally, the time has come.

However, right as he was about to get going, Eva suddenly stopped and said.

“Dear, I… I really want you.. but… you must know this is not my best week….”

“….”

Viktor fell silent.

He realized that in how busy his life became, he had lost count of the date, and after everything that happened, protection was the last thing on his mind. As a Romanov, he barely needed to use those things, and usually, it would fall for the girl to prepare themselves with the pill.

Sadly, protection and pills were not part of the list priority items he packed with him.

His lust was in full force, however, and his eyes looked like he was ready to devour the girl at any moment.

“It will be fine, my dear, don’t worry.”

Viktor continued to please the girl, and as she let out another moan, she barely managed to tell him.

“Yes, my dear, I don’t mind… I am ready.”

As he did the foreplay, Viktor was fully aroused, his rod already tenting his pants. He pulled off Eva’s soaked panties, ready to do the deed when Eva said.

“I am ready… I promise… I will be a great mother…”

“….”

Her confession felt like cold water thrown in his face, instantly freezing off all the desires he had pent up. Right at that moment, he cursed in his mind, and he had to restrain himself from cursing out loud.

The girl was confused, why did Viktor stop? She decided to say again.

“My dear, I am ready..”

Viktor bit his lip. Words could not express how much he wanted to tear Eva’s clothes off and have his way with her. There were few ways he can think of, a skill to make sure such a thing will not happen.

But he couldn’t take the chance and actually the thought of a baby ruined all his mood.

“I am sorry, Eva, but this is such a strange time, and we need to focus on staying safe,,, It’s not the time to talk about having a baby.”

For a moment, Eva looked like she was irritated, but as she sat up on the bed, she took deep breaths, calmed herself down, and said. “This is why I love you, dear. I could always count on you to be an adult in every situation.”

Eva stayed half-naked and cuddled Viktor from behind, letting him feel her soft breasts on his back. But Viktor could feel that his loins were in agony, yet again, he was denied the chance for release.

The next day, everyone woke up rather early, and their smiles were full of vigor. Viktor had to force his heavy eyes to stay open but he still looked even more fierce than usual.

“We will fight the best we can! We will conquer level 30 in under one week! We have to! Let’s go!”

One week, one week and Eva’s cycle would finally pass. Viktor decided to make sure everything ended, then he could take a free rest week and have undisturbed sex with Eva afterward.

As he walked into the hall and started the level, only anger could be seen in his eyes. Even as the orcs’ thundering footsteps became closer, he wasn’t even afraid. In fact, he dashed forward and shouted. “Die, you! Die!”

If anyone knew what happened last night, they would not blame him for unleashing all his pent-up stress.

Within one day, they managed to clear both levels 16 and 17. Everyone quickly set up their sleeping bags, but Viktor decided to continue through the levels by himself.

Metal fusion

He used the same strategy that he used against the mutated seals. First, he would use all his spirit pool to kill as many as possible and then lead around 50 or 60 to one place. Afterward, he would use All Might, decimating them all in seconds. His efforts paid off, and he was able to clear one level by repeating this around three times.

When everyone else woke up, Viktor announced that they will start from level 19 today. Their shocked expression was a cherry on top of his happiness.

“The faster we defeat this pillar” the better. Viktor’s motivation skyrocketed with the new determination
