What it Feels Like to Feel P1
Vik couldn't help but laugh bitterly at Eren's hesitations.
He believed Eren should have given Reece a chance, as his aloofness and feelings of inferiority had caused her unnecessary suffering.
Experiencing death had also changed Vik's mindset. He now believed that people should pursue their dreams without being held back by self-imposed limitations, as these inhibitions are often just figments of one's imagination.
"I'd rather accept her than push her away. Finding unconditional affection like this is rare, regardless of how it originated," Vik thought to himself. He was determined to catch up to Reece and overcome any obstacles in their relationship.
Chuckling, Vik looked up at the ceiling of his room. He noticed yooperlite stones attached to it, which absorbed mana and emitted a faint light. These stones were hindered from producing exceedingly bright light by an intricate circular pattern that emitted a subtle luminescence. Vik recognized it as an array from Eren's memories, explaining why his room remained dark despite the presence of mana-powered lighting arrangements.
The Elysian cities were renowned for their integration of mana-based systems with advanced technology. Technology had reached new heights by utilizing mana as the main component, something unfamiliar to Vik during his time in the Wastelands. Although he didn't approve of it, he now understood why Elysian citizens looked down upon Borgys they had only heard of.
"Eren… aaaah… you…"
Vik's wandering thoughts came to a halt when he heard Reece's voice. Looking down, he realized his actions had unintentionally affected her. With desire in her eyes, Reece stared back at him.
Smirking, Vik channeled his mana and manifested lightning tongues at the tips of his fingers. Boldly, he used them to knead Reece's derriere while maintaining eye contact. Reece's initial surprise transformed into a state of arousal as she straddled Vik, her groin pressing against his awakened member.
A subtle erotic energy filled the room, gradually brightening as the morning sun shone through. Vik, having already experienced sexual encounters, handled the energy with ease. Death had taught him many things, including accepting bodily desires as a natural part of life. One didn't have to die to grasp this truth; they simply needed to be open to their natural needs.
Unlike Vik, Eren approached matters of the heart seriously. He cared for Reece deeply and reciprocated her feelings. With Eren's memories, Vik found himself replicating their intimate moments, reciprocating Reece's affections according to Eren's blueprint.
Reece, gazing into Vik's eyes, mustered the courage to ask, "What...what were you doing?" She had never witnessed Vik's unabashed gaze before, revealing how little people truly know about each other, even when living under the same roof.
Vik, still maintaining his intense gaze, replied, "Hm? I'm simply doing what my heart desires, Reece. Let's say my previous story was filled with regrets. Now, with this brand-new story, comes a brand-new me who follows his heart's desires. Should I...stop?"
Confused by Vik's peculiar words, Reece attempted to voice her question but was interrupted by Vik's fingers, which had now moved elsewhere. One hand explored the valley between her breasts while the other rested at the back of her head.
"Eren...I..." Reece began to say, though her words were cut off as Vik passionately kissed her. Despite Vik's experience, he found this kiss more enjoyable than any he had shared with a girl solely as Vik, as it now carried the emotions of affection.
'This is what life is all about. This is what it feels like to truly feel. Not just satiation of bodily needs but soothing the heart as well,' Vik realized, embracing the passionate moment with Reece.
