A Faithful Night (18+)

[Day: Sunday]

[Time: Afternoon]

[Location: Home - Sanctuary City]

The soft glow of the sun at its zenith casted a gentle light through the windows of the share house. It was a peaceful noon, and as I was planning to make today a Lazy Sunday, it all changed when Faith was begging me to take her somewhere.

"C'mon, Shiro..! If we don't hurry, we'll miss the event..!" Faith whined, holding my wrists and trying to pull me up from my seat.

I watched as Faith attempted to pull me up, a soft sigh escaping my lips. I pulled her toward me, having her sit in my lap. "Where are you trying to take me, Faith?"

Faith's cheeks flushed into a soft red as she sat on my lap. "W-Well...I wanted to go to this gaming convention that's happening today. I signed up to play in a tournament and the winner gets $150,000 as a Grand Prize.."

"$150,000?!" Lustie asked in shock, overhearing our conversation. "Who the hell is hosting such a competition?"

"Yeah, that's literally what Shiro makes in a single date minus Luckie's Tax, but still. This must be a huge tournament for them to give out $150,000 for a grand prize," Talenta said as she walked over to us.

Faith smiled at the two, nodding her head. "If I win that money, I can help Naomi pay off her dues to Raymond."

"Raymond?" I asked, curious about this person.

"She's collected a lot of debt from him because he makes all of her weapons, but she's been really short on paying her tabs because of this gang war. Raymond let's her keep requesting, but her bills are piling up now," Faith answered, her gaze meeting mine once again.

"Ahh, so that's why you're doing this. I kinda wish Naomi would've told me this. I would've been more than happy to help out," I said, rubbing the back of my head. I sighed softly then smiled warmly at Faith. "Alright, I'll take you to this convention."

"There's one more thing, I kinda...signed you in as well as my partner in case I lose. I hope that's okay with you," Faith said shyly, fluttering her eyes at me.

"I don't mind at all. At least it gives me more of an excuse to take you to this convention," I said, chuckling softly then gently nudged Faith off my lap.

Faith stood up, an enthusiastic smile stretching across her lips. She felt excited to go to this gaming convention to show off her skills, and hopefully win the grand prize. "Hurry up and get ready, love~ We have a gaming tournament to get to!"

I chuckled softly at Faith's enthusiasm, gently pushing her out of my room. "Alright, babe. Go wait for me downstairs. I won't be long."

Faith giggled softly, nodding her head. She hurried down the stairs, excited for the day to come.

I closed my door then stretched my arms. "Alright, change of plans. Blue, Goldie, you two are joining me today. The rest of you feel free to do whatever you want today."

"Works for me," Talenta nodded.

Luckie yawned and stretched, shaking her entire body to relax herself before shape shifting back into her human form. "Mmmnn!~ Okay, Master~"

I walked to my wardrobe and picked out a nice outfit for me to wear out for my date with Faith. Once I picked my outfit, I went to my bathroom and took a nice shower to wake myself up completely and to freshen up.

[Day: Sunday]

[Time: Afternoon]

[Location: Sanctuary's EGC (Elite Gaming Convention)]

Sanctuary's Elite Gaming Convention was a spectacle of lights, sounds, and the electric hum of excitement. As Faith and I walked through the bustling halls, the air was thick with anticipation and the buzz of eager gamers ready to test their skills. Faith, with her determined eyes and confident stride, was a stark contrast to the usual reserved demeanor she wore.

"Wow, look at that!" Faith pointed to a large screen displaying an upcoming game. I followed her gaze, taking in the vibrant graphics and immersive world.

"They've really outdone themselves this year," I remarked, adjusting the strap of my bag. I could see Faith's eyes sparkle with excitement as we moved from one booth to another, each filled with eager developers showcasing their latest creations.

Faith stopped at a booth where a game developer was demonstrating a new VR game. She tried on the headset, her face lighting up with amazement. I watched her, a smile tugging at my lips. It was nice to see her so animated, a stark contrast to the usual tension that filled our lives.

"Hey, Shiro," Faith called out after removing the headset. "Thanks for bringing me here~"

I smiled at Faith, seeing the twinkle in her eyes. "It's honestly no issue, babe. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, where you're in your element."

Faith giggled softly, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "And I won't lose this tournament! I will beat everyone here and then some."

"I have no doubt about that," I replied, shaking my head with a grin. "Also, can you explain to me to me more about Raymond. I mean he's the entire reason we're here essentially."

Faith's smile faded slightly, replaced by a look of determination. "Raymond is a super genius. He learned Alchemy on his own and creates so much for us. He used to work for The Syndicates before he saw through their corruption. Without him, Karma wouldn't have the weapons, the information, or safe havens we rely on. We'd be lost, and most of us…well, we wouldn't be here."

I nodded, understanding the gravity of her words. "Raymond's that important, huh?"

"More than you can imagine," Faith said quietly. "He's risked so much for us. The least we can do is try to pay him back."

We continued our stroll, stopping to chat with game creators and test out new releases. The energy of the convention was infectious, and for a moment, I could almost forget the weight of our mission. Almost.

As we neared the tournament area, Faith's demeanor shifted again. She was focused, ready. "I've got this, Shiro. But if anything happens, I know you'll have my back."

"Always," I replied firmly. "Go out there and show them what you're made of."

Faith nodded, taking a deep breath. "Time to win this thing."

I watched as she joined the other competitors, her confidence unwavering. I knew she had the skill and determination to come out on top. And if it came down to it, I was ready to step in and do whatever it took to help Karma and repay the debt they owed.

"Alright, everyone! It's time to start this tournament! I can see our competitors are very focused today, I mean a lot of money is on the line here! What are your thoughts, Abe?" A commentator said, looking at her partner.

"You're right Vee, a lot of money is on this line for this tournament. $150,000 to be exact. This is not your normal tournament, oh no. This tournament will show everyone who's a fraud and who's not. I have my money on Lady Luck again. She dominated last year's tournament and her partner Supreme looks like he's ready to show off his skills again today," The other commentator said.

The announcer's voice boomed over the speakers, signaling the start of the first round. The screens switched to the game's loading screen, and the audience quieted down, their eyes glued to the action.

Faith selected her main, Faku, a formidable close-range fighter known for his speed and devastating combos. Her fingers moved deftly over the controls, her years of practice evident in her precise movements.

The match began, and Faith immediately went on the offensive. Her opponent barely had time to react as she executed a series of quick, powerful attacks, keeping them on the defensive. The crowd erupted in cheers as Faith's health bar remained nearly untouched while her opponent's rapidly dwindled.

Within minutes, Faith delivered the final blow, securing her victory. The words "P1 WINS!" flashed across the screen, and the audience cheered loudly. Faith stood up, a triumphant smile on her face, and made her way back to me.

"You did it! That was amazing!" I exclaimed, giving her a high five.

"Thanks, Shiro! It felt great. Faku is unstoppable when I'm in the zone," Faith replied, still buzzing from her win.

As we waited for the second-round brackets to be posted, Faith began to share her thoughts with me. "You know, there's something I need to tell you about this tournament," she started, her tone growing serious.

I looked at her, intrigued. "What is it?"

"There are two players here who are my biggest rivals in the gaming community: Lady Luck and Supreme," Faith explained. "Lady Luck is incredibly lucky when it comes to games, almost like she has some kind of supernatural advantage. And Supreme… well, he's just ridiculously skilled at everything he plays. Together, they're a force to be reckoned with."

I nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "And you think you might have to face them?"

"Yeah," Faith admitted. "We've gone back and forth in Celestial Warriors. Lady Luck and I have had some intense matches, but she always seems to edge out a win because of her luck. And with Supreme on her side, it's going to be even tougher."

I placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Faith, you've got this. You're one of the best players I know. Just keep your focus and play your game. I'll be here cheering you on every step of the way."

Faith smiled, grateful for my support. "Thanks, Shiro. That means a lot."

As the second-round brackets were announced, Faith took a deep breath, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. With me by her side, she felt more confident than ever.

"Man... after that first round and seeing how each player did, I can for sure say that Faith is definitely in my top five. She hit a full 15 Hit String on her last opponent. The highest string is 20 and if her opponent had a bit more health, she would've beaten that," Abe said, tapping his finger against the desk.

"Mhm, I agree. She seems to be the underdog in this situation as well. She's come to many of these tournaments in hopes of at least placing top 8, but I can tell she really means business now," Vee said, chuckling softly.

The announcer's voice boomed over the speakers again, signalling for the second round to start. Once again the screen switched to the game's loading screen and the players got ready to select their characters again.

Faith stuck with her main, her expression determined as she raced her fingers along her controller. Once the match began, she went on the offensive again. Her opponent had better reactions than her last, being able to slightly keep up with her. The crowd watched Faith's match, each one on the edge of their seats. Once Faith got the upper hand, the crowd erupted into cheers as she pulled off her string.

The crowd roared with cheers as Faith landed her final blow, winning her match. Faith kept her composure, avoiding popping off so early in the tournament but I knew she wanted to as she broke the string record, hitting a 25 Hit Combo.

"Great job! That was crazy how you broke the record!" I exclaimed, hugging Faith with excitement.

Faith hugged me back, squealing with happiness. "Thank you!~ I feel unstoppable!~"

The tournament went on and Faith felt like she was on the top of the world. She won match after match, climbing up the ladder and showing off her skills. She soon made it to the Top 2, making this the first time she's even gotten this high on the brackets.

I could tell Faith was nervous, her hands being sweaty as I held them. I talked Faith down, keeping her nerves calm and collected. Faith nodded at my encouraging words, keeping her focus and determination.

"This was a beautiful tournament so far! All of our competitors gave it their all, but there can only be one at the top! Right now in our top two, we have the Underdog: Faith Winters going against our last year's champion, Lady Luck aka Maeve Drapton!" Abe said excitedly, ready to see the finals of the tournament.

"Drapton? Like Louis Drapton? The author?" Luckie asked, tilting her head slightly.

[My systems are telling me that Maeve Drapton is Louis's daughter. This is very interesting.]

"Well well well, Faith Winters. I see you're back again and you've made it to the top this time. Too bad you're gonna lose against me once again and take only a measly $50,000. Leave the gaming to the real gamers and go back to the Arcade where the little babies play," Maeve taunted, trying to throw Faith off her game with her trash talk.

Faith heard the crowd's reactions from Maeve's trash talk, shooting a leer at her. "How about you tell your dad to write you a manual about how to actually play the game instead of button mashing? You...prick..!"

Talenta and Luckie both laughed at Faith's rebuttal along with the crowd. Maeve looked a bit pissed off at the fact that Faith brought up her dad, but she kept a smug grin on her face, taking her seat.

"Yeah okay, when I beat your ass in this game, we'll see who's the one talking," Maeve said, putting on her headphones.

The large screens displayed the intense gameplay, and the crowd was on the edge of their seats. Faith's character, Faku, and Maeve's character, Seraphina, clashed in a dazzling display of skill and strategy. Both players were evenly matched, having each won one set so far. The final set would determine the champion.

"Is that all you've got, Faith?" Maeve taunted, her fingers flying over the controls with precision.

Faith smirked, not missing a beat. "You wish, Maeve. I've got plenty more where that came from."

The banter continued as the two players traded blows, neither giving an inch. Faith's focus was unwavering, her movements sharp and deliberate. She knew Maeve's playstyle well, having faced her numerous times before, and she was determined to outmaneuver her this time.

Just as the match reached a fever pitch, the unexpected happened. The entire convention hall was plunged into darkness, the screens and lights all going out simultaneously. Gasps and murmurs filled the air as the audience and players tried to make sense of the situation.

"What's going on?" Faith muttered, her eyes straining to see in the dark.

I, sitting in the front row, immediately tapped into my Unleashed State, my senses heightening. My eyes glowed faintly as I scanned the room, able to see clearly despite the darkness. It didn't take long for me to spot a group of delinquents making their way toward the prize money, their intentions clear.

"Faith, stay here," I whispered urgently as I stood up. "I'll be right back."

Faith nodded, trusting me without hesitation. "Be careful."

Moving silently, I slipped through the crowd, my steps fluid and purposeful. The delinquents continued their heist, unaware of my presence as they believed the darkness had provided them safety.

I reached the stage where the prize money was being held, and with a swift movement, I blocked their path. "You picked the wrong day to try this," I said, my voice low and dangerous.

The leader of the delinquents stared at me, immediately recognizing me. He shot a piercing glare at me, bracing himself for anything. "Who the hell are you?" He demanded, trying to keep his voice steady.

I didn't bother to answer. Instead, I moved with lightning speed, disarming the leader with ease and knocking him out with a single punch. The others tried to retaliate, but they were no match for my Unleashed State. I deftly avoided their attacks, taking them down one by one with precision and efficiency.

The lights flickered back on just as I delivered the final blow, incapacitating the last delinquent. The crowd gasped and then erupted into cheers as they realized what had happened. Security personnel quickly moved in to secure the area and apprehend the would-be thieves.

"That was awesome..~" Faith said, her voice a mixture of awe and gratitude.

I chuckled softly as I made my way back to my seat. "Thank you..~ Now focus up, you've still got to win this tournament."

The tournament officials quickly reset the equipment and, after ensuring everything was in order, allowed Faith and Maeve to resume their match. The interruption only fueled their determination. The final set began, and Faith played with renewed vigor, her movements sharper than ever.

Maeve, shaken by the near-theft and my intervention, struggled to regain her composure. Faith took advantage of every opening, pushing her character to the limit. With a final, decisive combo, Faith's Faku delivered the winning blow, and the words "P1 WINS!" flashed across the screen.

The crowd erupted in applause, cheering Faith's hard-earned victory. I joined her on stage, giving her a proud hug.

"You did it, Faith! You were amazing!" I exclaimed.

Faith beamed, holding the championship trophy close to her chest and her eyes watered with joy. "Yes! Finally!!~"

With a tournament victory and $150,000 in her pockets, Faith was happier than ever, her emotions running high and the buzz of her victory sending her through the moon. With the tournament concluded, Faith and I decided to head home so she could give the money to Naomi.

[Day: Sunday]

[Time: Evening]

[Location: Home - Sanctuary City]

Naomi looked at the suitcase full of money and smiled warmly, her gaze meeting Faith's once again. "Faith, you didn't have to do this. I do appreciate this though..~ It makes things for me a little easier."

Faith giggled softly and nodded, proud of herself for helping Karma out any way she could. Before she could say anything, Naomi handed her $45,000 of the $150,000. She looked at the cash in her hands before glancing at Naomi again.

"You deserve to keep some of it. You worked your ass off to get it. I'm not gonna just leave you all empty handed when you do something for me," Naomi said sweetly, gently ruffling Faith's hair.

Faith's cheeks grew rosy as Naomi ruffled her hair, a bright smile tugging at her lips. "Th-Thank you, Naomi..~"

We watched as Naomi walked off to call Raymond then Faith took my hand, leading me back to her room. I followed her upstairs, entering her room and she closed the door behind us. I walked toward her bed, sitting down and stretching lightly.

"Today was really fun," I said, giving Faith a warm smile.

"Mhm..~ It was," Faith agreed, walking to her dresser to place her trophy upon it. She looked back at me with a proud smile. "I couldn't have done this without you..~"

I chuckled softly, watching her walk toward me and sit next to me. "C'mon, Faith. It wasn't me who did anything. That was all you..~"

"Well, if you hadn't stopped those delinquents, everything would've been ruined. But you were there, making you the prime reason I won.." She replied, her tone softening as she locked eyes with me. "You do so much for us...and you genuinely care about each of us. I don't know where we'd be now without you.."

I listened to Faith's words, a gentle smile playing on my lips. I gently wrapped my arm around her, pulling her closer to me. "Well, I'm glad to be here for you all..~"

Faith's cheeks began to heat up as she leaned in closer, landing a kiss upon my lips. I kissed back, my hand finding its place upon her leg. Our soft kissing began to turn into passionate making out, the two of us fully getting onto her bed.

I gently laid her on the bed, my kisses landing upon her neck. Faith gasped softly, tilting her head to expose more of her neck to me. Her body grew more excited, shivers going down her spine as my hands explored her curves.

I pulled away from kissing her neck, sitting up to take off her shirt. She allowed me to remove her top, her gaze becoming more vulnerable and submissive. I slipped my hand into her bra, skillfully messaging her breast and teasing her nipples. Faith began to grow more aroused, feeling a sensation she's never experienced before from anyone.

Faith began to softly moan as my touch continued to ignite a flame inside her. "Sh-Shiro.."

I could sense her growing desire, a soft, seductive chuckle escaping my lips at her reaction. "Enjoying yourself..?" I whispered softly in her ear.

"M-Mhm..~" Faith nodded, her breathing deepening and the arousal within her beginning to take control of her.

Before long, I began to undress her and myself, the two of us naked on her bed and ready to delve deeper in this intimate moment. Faith decided to take control, flipping the position and lowering herself on the bed.

Faith slowly wrapped her fingers around my member, stroking up and down and watching my body's reaction. Soon, she lowered her head, taking me in her mouth. Her actions brought me pleasure, my soft gasps breaking the gentle silence in the room.

I gently gripped her hair, causing her to take more of my manhood. Faith moans were muffled as she lowered her head more, coughing a bit before raising her head. She panted heavily, her chest heaving with each breath.

"I...want you inside me," She said shyly, her tone soft and desperate.

I nodded at her request, laying her down on the bed and positioning myself between her legs. As I looked into her eyes, I could see the excitement and nervousness in her gaze. Gently, I began to push my manhood inside her, biting my lip as her inner walls gave some resistance.

Faith arched her back the deeper I pushed, a mixed sound of pleasure and pain escaping her lips. At this moment, I knew this was Faith's first time as I listened to her trembling voice and heavy pants. After getting myself fully inside her, I paused for a bit to let her adjust to my size.

"Are you okay..?" I asked softly, gently caressing her cheek with care.

"M-Mhm," She answered, nodding her head. She looked at me with half lidded eyes, catching her breath before she could fully speak. "I'm okay... I'm ready.."

I nodded, starting to give her gentle thrusts. Faith held her hands at her chest, not breaking eye contact with me. Each gentle thrust sent tiny waves of pleasure throughout her body, causing her to make soft noises.

After a few gentle thrusts, her body began to adjust and she voiced her desire for me to thrust harder. I placed my hand on her hips, pulling my hips back then delivered a harder thrust. Faith's moan grew louder, her back arching against me as a new wave of pleasure hit her intensely.

For Faith, this was a new sensations, a sensation she wouldn't forget. Her pants quickened, her heart racing as she felt me thrusting in and out of her. Her moans filled the room, her mind only filled of thoughts of this intimate moment.

"Ahh..~ Sh-Shiro...I—" Faith began, but the pleasure she was experiencing caused her to fail to finish her sentence.

I could tell Faith was close, her moans slowly becoming more desperate and her breathing became more ragged. Faith threw her arms around my waist, her body writhing beneath me as the pleasure began to fully take over her.

Soon, Faith began to experience a powerful orgasm, her body trembling uncontrollably. With her guiding me, I was able to delve deeper into Faith, stimulating her G-Spot with the crown of my shaft. Eventually, the pleasure became overwhelming for her and she had to take a moment to relax.

Faith panted heavily, tears of bliss rolling down her cheeks. "Haah..~ Oh god...~ This...is so intense..~"

"Are you tapping out..?~" I teased softly, gently kissing her cheek.

"No..~ I want you to finish too.." She whispered, her arms now wrapped around my nape.

I chuckled softly, landing a deep, passionate kiss upon her lips. Faith kissed back, her tongue slipping into my mouth and making the kiss a bit sloppy. As we kissed, I began to thrust and set an intense rhythm for us once again.

Faith moaned loudly within the kiss, feeling intense shocks of pleasure throughout her body as I pounded her. Faith broke the kiss, throwing her head back against the pillows and whined loudly with pleasure, her body matching my rhythm with desperation.

"Please..." she begged, crying as ecstasy took control of her body. "Give...it to me, please.."

Faith's pants grew heavier by the second, her nails starting to dig into my skin. She wrapped her legs around my waist, feeling my cock pulsate and twitch inside her. Her inner walls began to tighten around my member, forcing me to intensify my blows inside her. Faith cried out with pure euphoria as she felt my blows intensify, her words turning into babbles.

"I'm close..!" I warned, my breathing becoming deeper.

"Please..! Please...!" Faith begged, her words becoming lost in the moment.

My thrusts became more frantic, my rhythm slowly becoming lost the closer I was to reach my climax. Faith began to cry with pleasure as my blows began to fill her body with a pleasure she knew she wouldn't get from anyone else. Soon, I erupted inside of her, filling her with my warm release. Faith's body became overwhelmed with pleasure, causing her to become consumed with a second orgasm.

The sigil on her chest began to shine brightly, forming into a True Love Sigil. Faith immediately began to relax, loosening her grip upon me and catching her breath.

{Lust/Love EXP +15,000}

{Bond with Faith MAX!}

{Reward: Ambition EXP +15,000}

After such an intense moment, Faith and I cuddled on her bed and indulged in each other's company. She rested her head upon my chest, her body still buzzing from the moment we shared.

"That was incredible...even after we finished, my body is still screaming your name.." Faith said softly, her eyes fluttering closed.

I chuckled softly at her, gently running my fingers through her hair. "Well I do have that effect on women..~ Plus I'm more skilled now than ever and you happened to be the first to experience the new me..~"

Faith giggled softly at my playful arrogance, letting out a content sigh. "I'm glad it was you for my first time..~ Now I can scratch this off my bucket list..~"

I laughed softly, letting out a soft, content sigh as well. "I'm glad to be your first..~"

Faith smiled as she began to drift off. "Mmm...I love you.."

"I love you too, Faith. Sleep well..." I said, gently kissing the top of her head.

Faith nodded, now drifting off to sleep. I closed my eyes as well, resting up for the next day and what's to come for tomorrow.
