Climbing the steps of adulthood

A few more years later and I turned into an adult now. I am now fifteen years old.

At this age the main character Rudeus already met with his childhood friend and cured his ED. He already defeated a Demon King with one spell, travelled nearly the whole world, losing virginity climbing the steps to adulthood, slain a red dragon, became a renowned A-rank Adventurer, got married, and even damaged the hand of the Dragon God. It's like he's unlocking achievements in a video game.

Meanwhile I'm here still a virgin, didn't have any notable achievements worth mentioning to the world. Honestly it's kinda depressing in comparison, but there's just no comparing yourself to the main character of the story. Side characters need to do what side characters do.

The other day the time I became an adult, the chief went to our home for a visit. Mother also prepared a good meal for us.

"Ruiweld, you have become an adult now. Don't you think it's time you get married?" It was mother who said that.

"There are plenty of our young women who actually would love to have as their husband. Even marrying multiple of them are possible." It was the chief who said that.

This is the custom of the Superd tribe. You need permission of at least an elder's approval to marry. But in this case the chief personally came. That just means my status in the Superd society is high.

"I have no plans of marrying anyone..." I trailer of wanting to set this discussion aside.

Knowing what's going to happen in the near future, I don't want to get attached to a woman and have children.

"You should leave behind children, Ruiweld. As a proud warrior of the Superd tribe, then you should know this is the responsibility and a joy granted equally to all of us." the chief argued.

The Superds were a powerful race of Demons who take pride of their strength. Those who are strong have the responsibility to have children to leave their bloodline alive to bless the tribe with more strong warriors in the future.

It just so happens that I fall in the category of those warriors who carry great strength. What to do...

"I know that face. It's the face of a man who didn't want to leave their loveones to suffer once they perish."

Huh? Was I making that face really? If the chief who lived a thousand years says so, then that must be true.

"The possibility that you may perish in battle is present to all of us warriors. A great many would mourn your death, but your wife and children you left behind would never be treated poorly. You brought our people such great strength. Your bloodline would be precious to everyone here. Your father knows that and here you are with your mother together."

My father Ruijerd could also be considered as a prodigy as a warrior in in his youth. Currently he was among the Top 3 strongest warriors of the Superds.

"Give me some time to think about it." I finally said.

"Very well."

With those last words the chief left our home.

Back to the present

Mother began talking to me about the beautiful unwed young women she knew.

Since I spent most of my time either hunting or training, I hadn't really had the time to meet with the women. Mother participates on teaching young women too and gets to know with a lot of them.

When women matures and their tail fallen off their backs, they started their own training. Different than the men's hardcore brutal Sparta training. Although there's also basic martial arts being taught, mostly the elder women trains the newly matured young girls in bridal training. Weaving, sewing, cooking, cleaning, gardening, agriculture, home decoration, handicrafts, pelting, baby sitting, nightly duties, and more.

It was night time and everyone in the tribe was outside merrily feasting in dinner with the monster prey we hunted.

I look around from my side to side, and saw that some boys were getting close to some young girls. The women gives a bowl of meat to the men and they began to bond with each other.

Apparently some of them have already climbed he steps of adulthood together, losing their virginities.

Some of my men have even gotten married too, which makes me a late bloomer considering my strength as a warrior.

There's an unspoken rule that the more talented and stronger you are as a warrior, the earlier you should already have sex with a woman you intend to marry.

"Umm, Ruiweld. Would you mind if I sit beside you?" A familiar woman approached offering a bowl to me.

Her name... I don't remember. I sometimes ran into her when I went home to rest. I often saw her talking with mother too back when I'm still very young.

"Okay." I received the bowl and began eating it.

Thanks to teaching the warriors how to bloodlet the meat after hunting, the disgusting stench and gamey taste are now gone. Usually I found them really disgusting so I found a way to teach the warriors how to bloodlet, and the reaction of my tribes people seems to be super positive. It tasted better now.

I scooped down the meat again and took a large bite into it. Somehow, this cut of the meat seems really chewy and long. The texture is perfect for chewing too.

A while later I could feel my heart beating involuntarily. My blood pressure is rising up, and my sword down there becomes hardened. My body starts heating up.

Weird, did I just get in heat for no reason?

"So Ruiweld, do you have anyone to take in as your bride?"

I looked to the woman, it was the one who handed me the bowl. Somehow, I feel sorry that I forgot her name. I swear I heard it somewhere.

She's getting closer and closers I could smell the female pheromones from her. I could get a glimpse of her cleavage with bountiful breasts. My face started heating up.

"Are you feeling alright?" She worriedly asked

"Yeah, I'm just feeling a little dizzy for a moment." I said.

"Oh my, you should take a rest then. How about I fetch you some water and a place you can stay?"

"Yeah, I leave it to you."

I wanted nothing more to lie down and let this feeling subside.

We went together in a certain house. In here there's no one present as everyone was outside with a feast.

Somehow a sudden urge get into my mind, and before I knew it I was holding the woman's wrists.

"My, you're so aggressive Ruiweld. Warriors can be so rough."

"You, what did you do to me."

"The meat I gave you is of a monster's phallus. There's a saying in the tribe that for a warrior to get their confidence as a man, they should eat plenty of this meat."

It's an aphrodisiac!

I started making my way over to her. The woman seems to invite me with the seductive expression on her face.

In the end I indulged myself in sexual pleasure. I will remember this day for the rest of my Superd life.
