A New Morning

Waking up to see his mother hugging his head and wrapping her legs around him naked with just her panties, while it was simulating, reminding himself he still needed to wait some time, he slipped away from her carefully and stood up.

[You have received the buff - Mom's Forbidden Love]

[Effect: 60% increase in learning skill]

[Duration: 24 hours]

Looking at the system window which appeared suddenly, and reading how it was about the buff from his mother, erased some of his bitter feeling.

Turning his head toward the window and seeing the sun just rising and the light beginning to increase, Ellis glanced at the watch in front of him, which read 6:00 AM. He was surprised at how energetic he felt after sleeping for just under five hours.

Thinking that his sister would be still sleeping now, and to pass time, he decided to train his skill a little.

…

After washing up his face and brushing his teeth, Ellis then went to the living room, crossed his legs and started to mediate first.

Feeling his mind become clear, Ellis while activating Mana sensing and circulation skills wanted to circulate all his mana together at first. But found that he was circulating just a small amount under the skill, while he thought a little about the reason, he still decisively deactivated the skill and started to manually move his mana inside his body, while feeling his mental strength draining more quickly, it was still better than yesterday, and he felt he had some excessive amount of it anyway.

After about an hour, feeling that he had done enough—especially since it was still morning and he had a lot to do today—Ellis decided to stop meditating and opened his eyes, still feeling like he have a considerable amount of mental strength.

[Your skill Mana sense has become Lv.8]

[Your skill Mana Circulation has become Lv.2]

[Your skill Mana Circulation has become Lv.3]

[Your skill Mana Circulation has become Lv.4]

[Your skill Mana sense has become Lv.9]

[Your skill Meditation has become Lv.3]

Reading the system messages and seeing how the mediation skill was raising the most slowly unlike what he though, Ellis felt weird a little, "will it have a very good effects in later in stages, and that's the reason ?" and thought to himself. 

Standing up and stretching his limps, Ellis decided to go to his sister's room. 

Stopping in front of the door, He knocked softly once, but when there was no response, he entered the bedroom. The familiar mess of her room greeted him, but he walked over to her bed unfazed. Sitting down beside her, Ellis while gazing at his sister lovingly, couldn't help but gently brush away the stray strands of hair that had fallen across her face.

Staring at the face of his sister, Ellis was reminded of what happened yesterday with his mother, and the problem of telling his sister now, should he just tell her directly or say some excuses first? While asking himself these question and caressing her cheeks the time went quickly.

Drowsily opening her eyes, Clara initially struggled to fully wake up. When she saw her brother sitting beside her and gently caressing her cheek, she wondered if she was still dreaming. Memories of how she avoided him in the past came to her, and fearing he might disappear if she let him go again flooded her mind. Unable to hold herself back, Clara opened her arms, inviting him closer, eager to feel his warmth.

Hugging her brother tightly and burying her face in his neck, Clara felt herself drowning in his scent and warmth. But after a while, as she felt the pressure of his body above her, she slowly came back to herself. Trembling slightly from embarrassment, she still held his shoulders and looked into his otherworldly gray eyes. Though they felt a bit unfamiliar, the hungry and possessive gaze she always felt from them were still there. Craving his familiar presence and taste, she wrapped her hands around his head and leaned in, kissing him passionately.

Ellis didn't know why he felt some guilt as he was kissing his sister, but he still continued till he felt she was content.

Seeing his sister unwrap her hands and return to her pillow with the string saliva, as she was breathing heavily. He stood up and said.

"Change your clothes, let's have some light meal and then see where we are going"

…

Coming out of his sister's room, he happened to see his mother wearing the short nightgown awkwardly going to her bedroom while covering herself with her hands.

"Good morning." while saying so, Ellis couldn't help but continue.

"You seem to have slept soundly last night"

Stopping and fidgeting with her hands, his mother, who seemed more shy now than yesterday, replied, "Good morning," before quickly escaping to her room. Making Ellis chuckle a little.

...

Sitting at the table after waiting a long time for his sister, Ellis looked at her—wearing pants and a normal shirt but having put a lot of effort into her makeup—and didn't know what to say. They were about to go fight in dungeons; did she think this was some kind of date?

"Sorry it took me some time to get ready."

Hearing her apology as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, Ellis wanted to question her sense of time. However, seeing her joyful and cheerful appearance, he decided not to ruin the moment for her. Instead, he looked at his mother, who seemed to have some problem of her finally resolved but still uncomfortable a little, Is she feeling guilty because of sister? Ellis wondered.

But then, his sister, who had sat beside him, suddenly reached out and took his hand, interlocking her fingers with his under the table. Making Ellis question whether the awakening had not only been caused by Mana but also by some childishness.

He was, of course, happy to be the target of her childishness, but normally, she wouldn't do something like this.

But with his eagerness to finally enter the dungeon, he said, "Let's hurry up and finish eating."
