Chapter 16: Illuna

James walked outside. He thought of having a shower later. He was still wearing just his pants. He had not worn his new clothes yet. As a result he was topless but since they were in the middle of nowhere it would be fine, he thought. 

He walked outside the cave and saw the vast forest in front of him. It was as far as the eye stretches. He saw the floating islands in the distance. He thought this was truly a fantasy world. He wanted to explore further however he first needed to protect the dungeon, his life. For that he was going to need more girls as part harem rules he thought. 

James walked down the path from the cave downwards to the forest. His cave was on a rather large and tall hill. It was perfect for defence, he thought as he had the high ground. James walked in the forest and saw the overgrown roots sprawling everywhere. 

"This is peaceful," James muttered to himself. 

He kept walking in the forest until he saw an unconscious girl on the ground, lumped next to a tree. She had short blond hair and large blue eyes. Her body was petite and slim. She had thin arms and legs. She was wearing a white dress. It looked old and worn out. She had no shoes. Her body was covered in scratches.

The Ultimatrix started flashing. The faceplate popped up. "Scanning new lifeform," the Ultimatrix said. A green beam scanned the girl. It scanned from head to toe. The scan finished. "New life form acquired," the Ultimatrix added.The faceplate went back in the watch. James thought interesting, he will have a look at that later.

James walked over. He saw she was in a bad condition. He thought it would be dangerous to leave her here. He smiled and picked her up in his arms. She was light. He looked around and saw no one around. James walked back to his Dungeon. He entered the cave and started walking back to the third floor. 

He got there and saw Lois and Lefi. They both looked stunning. Lefi was the definition of cute in the white dress which went down to her knees. Lois was wearing a pink crop top with gold trim. Her breasts. looked stunning. Her slim stomach was exposed. She looked sexy. She wore matching harem pants that were loose-fitted and adorned with gold details. Lois looked spectacular. "Wow," James muttered to himself. 

He snapped out of it. Lefi looked, "Thou is into small girls," Lefi remarked as she looked at Jame carrying an unconscious woman.

Lois looked. "He might be, James, we need to decide if she joins the harem or not," Lois commented. She thought, does he like petite or busty women.

James walked up and laid her down. "I found her in the forest unconscious," James added. 

Lefi approached with a measured stride, her gaze assessing every detail of the girl before her. "Thou art a vampire, girl," she declared.

James, who sat nearby "I think so as well," he affirmed.

"They are a rarity," Lefi remarked.

"Rare?" Lois interjected.

"Yes, in the last hundred of years, species like vampire and succubus are on the verge of extinction thanks to the humans hunting them and making them their slaves. Even the children of the forest, a non aggressive species, have suffered due to humans," Lefi explained. 

"How awful," Lois remarked. 

James saw the girl move. She opened her eyes. The girls saw three strangers near her. 

"Are you okay?" James asked.

The girl panicked. "No we won't hurt you, it's safe here," James added.

"It is," Lois added. She looked nervous. 

"I am James, that is Lois and Lefi," James introduced. He added, "What is your name?" James, Lois and Lefi smiled at the girl. 

The girl smiled back. "I am Illuna," she replied. James thought she had a beautiful smile. 

"So why were you in the forest by yourself?" Lois asked. 

"I was being chased by evil humans," Illuna replied. She looked sad.

"It is a pretty far distance from here to your home, there is not much out here, it must have been a long and cruel distance," Leif said. 

"There are no evil humans here, you can stay here," James stated. 

He looked to Lefi and Lois. He might have crossed the line. "Yes, you can," Lois confirmed.

"Thou can stay," Lefi added.

James let out a sigh of relief. They both had smiles on their faces. 

"But those evil people said I am better dead," Illuna said. She had tears in her eyes. 

Lois and Lefi looked angry. James grabbed her shoulders. "I want you to live. You have a beautiful smile. You have a lot to give to this world. I want you to be happy and alive," James stated. 

"But," Illuna said. 

"No buts, you have so much to live for, don't let other people say that," James said. 

Illuna nodded. She had a smile on her face. "Okay, Onii-chan," Illuna replied. James sighed, that could get annoying but sounded cool and it's from a cute girl so he will allow it. Suddenly, her stomach growled. 

Lois couldn't help but smile at the sight before her, noting the attention James seemed to attract effortlessly. "He sure is popular," she mused to herself.

"You must be hungry for blood," James remarked.

"I want Onii-chan's blood," Illuna declared matter-of-factly, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on James as if he were the sole source of sustenance in her world.

James, seemingly unfazed by the declaration, simply shrugged. "My blood, huh? Alright then," he replied. He thought this would allow him to get closer to Illuna.

"Will he transform into a vampire?" Lois inquired.

"No, there are no such side effects to worry about. He should be fine. Vampires consider another person's blood like a marriage ritual," Lefi said.

"I want Onii-chan`s blood," Illuna repeated. 

"Sure," James replied. Illuna approached James. She hugged James. Her hand held his back. She opened her mouth to reveal her fangs. Her mouth approached James`s neck. She bit his neck and slowly started to suck blood. 

James thought this felt interesting. It was sort of good. He slowly patted her head. Illuna sucked for a minute. Small traces of blood were leaking. Lois and Lefi looked at the scene. 

"He is enjoying this too much," Lefi remarked.

"We have accepted her so it's fine," Lois added. 

Illuna let go. She had a wide grin on her face. She looked content.

"Thank you for the meal Oni-chan," Illuna said. 

James laid on his back. He felt a bit tired and needed to catch his breath however other than that he felt fine. In fact, he could feel the wound already recovered. He could feel his energy coming back. 

"Lois, Lefi, could you buy her some clothes and take her to the shower room please," James ordered.

"Sure, " Lois responded. 

"You owe me cookies," Lefi added.
