Chapter 2: Burning Love

[Helen's POV]

Today marked my eighteenth birthday, and I was bubbling with anticipation because it was finally the day I'd get to discover my unique ability.

Suddenly, a hologram materialized right in front of me.

"Whoa..." I couldn't help but exclaim as I read through the description of my special skill. But as I read on, a sense of unease and disturbance crept over me.

——————————————————

Name: Helen Seres

Unique Ability: Inferno's Temptation (lvl 1)

Description: Inferno's Temptation is an exotic and forbidden skill that delves into the realm of scorching desires and captivating bonds. Named after the beguiling succubus of flames, this ability bestows the wielder with the mastery of intense fire magic. Yet, there's a beguiling twist to this power. The user can naturally summon cataclysmic infernos, capable of reducing entire landscapes to cinders.

Cost of Power: Consumes mana with each use.

Mana Regeneration Requirement: The user's mana can only be restored through an intimate connection – either by consuming the semen of a beloved partner or engaging in passionate lovemaking. Neglecting this would lead to complete mana depletion, rendering the ability useless.

The longer the user abstains from mana restoration, the more their carnal desires intensify. Gradually losing self-control, they might find themselves craving their loved ones and even resorting to aggression, forcing themselves upon them.

*************

Passive Skills:

Ember Enchantment: Gain proficiency in manipulating and enhancing flames.

Fiery Resilience: Develop resistance to heat and fire-based attacks.

*************

Active Skills:

Blazing Pyre: Create intense firestorms, incinerating foes within its radius.

Inferno Manipulation: Shape and direct flames at will, turning them into lethal projectiles.

Combustion Infusion: Infuse weapons or objects with fire, causing explosive impact upon contact.

*************

Special Skills:

Explosion:

Description: Through mastery of Inferno's Temptation, the user can trigger a cataclysmic explosion of flames. The resulting inferno engulfs the surroundings, annihilating enemies and reducing them to ashes.

Activation Cooldown: 2 hours

Fire Summon:

Description: Tapping into the allure of succubus-like powers, the user can conjure a fire elemental. This fiery ally obeys commands, wreaking fiery havoc upon foes.

Activation Cooldown: 3 hours

Duration: 20 minutes

Burning Love:

Description: This unique skill can only be used once. If the user engages in a first-time intimate encounter with a partner and offers their own virginity, that partner gains the ability of [Fire Manipulation]. This enables the partner to manipulate fire indefinitely. However, the user's fire manipulation remains superior.

Activation Requirement: First-time intimate encounter with a partner

Partner's Ability: Fire Manipulation (inferior to user's)

Activation Limit: Once

"Huh?" I blurted out, utterly taken aback. The unique ability I had acquired was undeniably potent, far beyond what I ever envisioned for myself. Given that I was just a farmer's daughter, I was initially overjoyed. However, as I continued to read, certain aspects of it left me unsettled.

I felt a surge of happiness, sure, knowing I had this ability. But the drawbacks were just too immense. Why did I end up with a power like this? And then, it hit me. My dad once mentioned that the abilities we gained were a reflection of our deepest desires.

I was utterly baffled and thrown off by that notion. Why on earth would I desire something so outrageous? It was at that moment that the truth dawned on me: this ability was my embodiment of desire for Sieg.

Yes, I loved Sieg. And, I'll be honest, my feelings for him were... well, let's just say they were pretty intense.

My love for him went to such extremes that I had a secret hideaway under my room. It was filled with his pictures, dolls I had crafted to resemble him, and even some of his unwashed underwear – which I'd sometimes smell while indulging in some self-pleasure. My affection for him was so intense that whenever we hung out, I'd often feel this urge to push him down and have my way with him then and there. I was so deeply infatuated that I'd sneak into his house at night, just to masturbate while gazing at his peaceful sleeping face. My infatuation was so intense that I had even entertained thoughts of having my way with him while he slept.

In simpler terms, I was a hopeless pervert.

"Haaa..." I let out a deep sigh, taking a moment to inhale the scent of his unwashed underwear as I continued to read about the ability. My desires weren't about forcing myself onto Sieg. What I truly longed for was to have a consensual encounter with him – a scenario where he took control while I yielded, without any resistance. It might be a less romantic fantasy, but oddly enough, I found myself drawn to the idea of him taking me forcefully. I know I talked about wanting things to be normal, but that's probably just wishful thinking. I'm well aware of my own contradictions.

I tucked the unwashed underwear beneath the bed and settled down. I'd already satisfied myself earlier, so a sense of drowsiness was beginning to wash over me. Yet, despite that, my eyes remained wide open, fixated on the ceiling.

"Haa..." Another sigh escaped me. What on earth was I supposed to do with this ability? It felt like a double-edged sword. If I used it, I'd have to gather the courage to ask Sieg for such an intimate favor, and that thought was beyond embarrassing. Yes, even for a pervert like me, there were still boundaries of shame. But if I chose not to use it, this power would simply remain sealed away forever... untouched, unused...

"Maybe I can give it a try, just once..." I murmured, determination rising within me, and I got up from the bed.

I stepped outside and uttered the phrase "[Inferno Manipulation]." Instantly, flames danced to life on my palm.

"Wow..."

The heat radiating from the flames was intense, enough to scorch someone's skin if they got too close. Luckily, my fire resistance kicked in, so I wasn't in any danger.

Playing with the fire, I shaped it into a ball and tossed it up into the sky. The fiery sphere illuminated the heavens before bursting into a dazzling display, resembling fireworks. It was mesmerizing, and the fact that I had conjured it was quite impressive.

However, something peculiar started happening within me. My heart raced uncontrollably, breaths came out ragged, and my legs trembled like leaves in the wind. A growing warmth churned in my belly, and a vivid image of Sieg and me engaged in passionate embrace right here on the grass overtook my thoughts.

"W-What?" I stammered out, my breath hitching. Fumbling slightly, I opened the stat panel I was supposed to access.

"H-Huh?"

I had expected my MP to increase a bit since I had a magic-based unique ability, but the measly ten points were quite the surprise.

Now, I was essentially running on empty in terms of Mana.

===================

A month had slipped by since that day, and today was Sieg's birthday. Ever since then, I had been masturbating almost every day, averaging around 10 times daily. Yet, even with that frequency, I couldn't find satisfaction. My plan for today was simple: wish Sieg a happy birthday, then retreat to my house to indulge in another round of self-pleasure. However, things took an unexpected turn.

Seeing Sieg drenched in sweat, working on the barn, ignited something in me. My mind felt ablaze, and I climaxed from just witnessing him like that.

And in that frenzied state of mind, I pounced on Sieg.
