You want to sleep on my chest so badly?

The party of Reigner had successfully seized the first X mark.

They had food supply, but without any means to transport or hold, the roommates had begun thinking in a similar way to their predecessors. They had to make a hidden camp somewhere close, then go for the expedition.

And then, come back.

"Something like that!"

The blue box was so big it would be impossible to carry it. Unless at least half of the food disappears, the party had no plans to carry it! They decided to hide the food in the thick bushes, then it was time to recuperate.

The sky was also slowly turning darker as the whole forest began getting dim. The coldness was also no longer acceptable, seeming to contain the tangible touch! The four roommates were shivering while hidden in the darkness and wild nature.

In such an environment, no one could stop their eyes from getting heavier. As Reigner's mind also got a taste of lumbering, he felt like cursing inwardly. He was cursing a lot ever since appearing in another world.

'Sleeping on the soil... Fucking pebbles... and worms!'

It began with a nightmare, then escalated to this point!

In such a depressing situation, Reigner quickly shifted his eyes to the side. He was looking for the source of warmth. His eyes landed on Selia's mature body, and inadvertently reaching for it, Reigner let out a smile when he felt her body sneaking into his embrace.

It's surely better to lie on a man instead of such hard and rough ground.

"Don't try... to do something... stupid..."

Selia muttered while sleeping, her mumbling sounding cute. Because Reigner momentarily lost all sense of touch except the warmth and softness coming from her body, he instantly realized what kind of world he is in.

A dog eats dog world. The strength and pleasure are going to be probably his only source of excitement before coming back to the earth. This is for everyone who had joined up the army voluntarily or not.

Then, the rough touch of the ground scratched his back.

'I fucking hate this shit.'

-

"Wake up, Selia."

"Hmm?"

Selia muttered, still dazed by her dream. Then, Reigner covered her lips as she was about to scream! With mere lingerie covering her body, she was hugging him so much it was too shameful! Her scream luckily got stopped.

And then, the unknown voices slipped to her mind.

"Where are they? They shouldn't have gone too far away!"

"Keep your mouth closed, I told you! What if they hear us?"

'We already hear you.'

The lady blinked, then calmed down. A small sigh escaped her lips, but it was evident that Selia was all ready to fight... In such a place, they are bound to face more and more 'unexpected' obstacles. Realizing that this is not a time to admonish Reigner for using the situation, Selia slowly escaped his touch and asked.

"What's the plan?"

"We are going to treat them in the same way."

"So battle... Okay..."

Selia clenched her fists, then skimmed over her teammates. Including Reigner, everyone was looking fine and ready to fight. The earthlings' wounds were closed and he seemed not disturbed by the scars and detritus.

He had his eyes on the new enemies, instead.

There were three men and one lady.

From their expressions alone, it was evident that the night had treated them too badly. All pale and sweaty, they were desperately searching for some food while trying to stay vigilant. It was pretty impossible though.

Exhausted and hungry, the four new enemies weren't paying attention to their surroundings and one of them got their foot injured by the sharp stone. This mood escalated to the point where they were mindlessly rummaging through the bushes and trees.

"Fuck! Where did they- MMMMMM!"

And when one of them had come close enough, Reigner moved. He grabbed the man's head strongly, then banged the tree's bark! The first loud shout notified the rest of the enemies, but Reigner's friends were on the move as well.

Ignoring the rest, the reincarnator continued to punish the exhausted man. The blood splashed on the tree abundantly, then the sound of bones cracking kept humming within Reigner's mind... Along this, the groans and cries of the man swept through the area, but only for a little, as soon, he just lost his consciousness.

And when the man lost, Reigner tore the shorts of the naked dude leaving him truly bare. This is the 'way' to punish these fools. No one really planned to kill the rookies as they all had gone through the same.

However, Reigner yet again cursed inwardly.

'This whole test might end before I actually gain sufficient strength to get status.'

The test is going to last two weeks. This is enough for Reigner to create metal origin just by breathing. However, if this forest can help him create an origin, then it should also help him fill it up so that he can get stronger!

Reigner was greedy and it was fine.

He punished the man, then touched the blood trickling down the tree.

The power of his converted that into metal aura which is needed to form the origin... Still, it was just low. So low that Reigner cursed and cursed. His eyes shifted to the man's face releasing way more blood.

His claws reached out inadvertently.

"Ugh!"

Then, Reigner began squeezing the man's face so hard he groaned while unconscious! More blood seeped out from the man's face, but Reigner's greed knows no bounds. He treated the man brutally and violently, then left the scene.

All enemies were knocked out, bare naked on the ground.

However, from this point onward, Reigner spoke.

"Let me gather the blood."

""...""

"Blood? But what for? Ah, you think you will be able to assimilate easier with metal aura?"

Selia spoke and gave a nice excuse which is not really that inaccurate. She got rewarded by Reigner's smile and a nod of approval, then puffed out her chest like a good older sister. Her hands were coated in blood as well, but she could feel nothing.

"It's the same for me."

"Me too."

The other roommates also weren't feeling anything special from the blood.

"I have felt something, so let me ride on that feeling."

"Of course! We are here to support each other after all!"

"Thanks, Selia. Our cute older sister~~"

Then, Reigner whispered.

"How about you sleep on the ground this night? It is so damn hard."

"I-idiot! How can you let me sleep on the ground?!"

"Alright, alright. If you want to sleep on my chest so bad then I can only let you borrow my body."

"..."

Her wide-open mouth was so cute Reigner yet again forgot about his adversity, albeit, momentarily.
