Servant

Ddraig watched his new host with intrigue. Yami was currently sitting on the ground crosslegged. He looked as if he was meditating, but that wasn't the case.

Earlier, Yami had cleared the last part of the Insect portal and was currently bursting with energy. The obvious choice was to transfer it to one of his monster cards, but he couldn't waste any energy as his life was on the line.

Instead, Yami had summoned both of his Sacred Gears, and he was attempting to use an ability they both shared, 'Transfer.' He was trying to transfer the energy inside him to his own body, or more precisely, to his bones, muscles, and tendons.

Ddraig told him that he wouldn't help him with the Boosted Gear, but he had given Yami a hint about Sacred Gears in general. All of God's Artifacts hold unimaginable power that's almost like reality warping. Their abilities weren't as simple as one would initially think. Ddraig had used only a single word to describe them, abstract. Humans, who only use the literal function of their Sacred Gear abilities, never get to master their god-killing weapon.

Just because Yami's Sacred Gear is called Absorption Line and has the ability 'Absorb,' doesn't mean that it can only be used to drain a person or an object's energy; the same was for 'Transfer.'

How one used his Sacred Gear's functions depended on his imagination and how much he was willing to push the boundaries. Yami was making his first steps in mastering his Sacred Gears by trying to transfer the energy in his body to his bones, muscles, and tendons, attempting to strengthen them in the process.

What Yami was doing will surely help him 'Boost' his growth, Ddraig chuckled to himself. But will that be enough? He might be able to delay his imminent death a bit, but he will still need to take some more drastic actions to break through his limits.

Nevertheless, Ddraig was enjoying himself as he watched the mortal struggle for his life. If Yami managed to dig himself out of the massive hole he had buried himself in, then he would gladly accept him as his partner.

Yami was biting his lip as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. His whole body felt as if it was on fire, but he tried his best to ignore it and focus on using his Sacred Gears.

Absorption Line was wrapped around him like a cacoon while the Boosted Gear was shining brightly in the middle of his chest. Yami was doing his absolute best to transfer the energy inside him to his body parts and strengthen them in the process, but a bit of it got wasted here and there. Some of it also refused to obey him and simply got recycled back into his body, but that still helped him, although not much.

The only good part of the excess amount of energy in his body was that he didn't feel tired. Though, the long process of him trying to strengthen his body with it was mentally draining. Come to think of it, couldn't Yami find a way to absorb mental energy to help with that? Another thing he would have to look into in the near future.

After managing to use all the energy he had absorbed, Yami set his sight on the other portals. The Plant portal was his next target as he believed it to be the easier one.

The Insect one hadn't disappeared after he cleared it, but it had turned into [Insect Colony], losings its Small prefix. Yami was glad about that as it gave him more opportunities to grab more cards, but he didn't want to test the water yet. He wasn't sure if he would have to face 192 Basic Insects or some new type of Insect, but either way, he wanted to clear the others first.

Confidently, Yami stepped through the Plant portal and quickly looked around. His enemies meshed well with the surroundings, but the pink petals gave them away.

[Man-Eating Plant]

He saw 12 of those Plant monsters, who had long thorny bodies with a large purple head filled with razor-sharp teeth. Yami would've been terrified of them before, but after witnessing Ddraig's monstrous form, they looked like puppies in his eyes.

The Man-Eating Plants also seemed to have a massive and exploitable weakness. They were slow, very much at that. The Plant monsters would've been dangerous if he had to fight them in close combat, but thankfully, he had his Absorption Line.

"Interesting creatures," Ddraig said in his mind. After the first time the Boosted Gear materialized, the dragon gained the ability to freely speak with him in his mind.

"I could see some use in them. Maybe as guards for my home, not that I have anything to protect there, but for now, they are nothing more than free energy," Yami replied to him leisurely. He didn't even need to run away from the Plant monsters; he only had to take a few steps backs from time to time.

Ddraig stayed quiet for a moment before saying, "You should go and punch one."

"Nope," Yami quickly refused, "One, I don't want to be anywhere near those teeth, and two..." he paused for a moment, "I actually don't know how to fight."

"Hahaha, you can have all the power in the world, whelp, but if you don't know how to use it, you will never be the strongest being," Ddraig laughed out.

"You're... not wrong," Yami agreed with him, considering the Boosted Gear was more suited for close combat, but he just didn't have the time. He had less than three months to live, after all. Then again, maybe he could look into some fighting training since that might become a necessary skill for him very soon.

"I could look into some martial arts training, but I don't have that much money to afford it," Yami lamented.

"If you lack riches, then just take them! That's how a Dragon does it, whelp," Ddraig boomed in his head.

"Take them? That... sounds like a plan," Yami thought. Robbing a bank was out of the question, but if he could find some gang members or something like that, he could beat them up and steal their Yen. Oh, gods... was he going down the path of a vigilante? He just needed a costume to seal the deal.

Ddraig's laugh boomed in his mind, "Those thoughts of yours are entertaining, I can tell you that much, whelp."

One of them was having fun, and it wasn't Yami. At least he got to absorb the Plant monster's energy, which seemed to be slightly more compared to a Basic Insect one's. Or maybe he had gotten better at using his Sacred Gear. He wasn't sure which one it was, and Ddraig wasn't helping as he stayed quiet.

After Yami cleared the Plant portal, he sat down in between the trees and began transferring the energy and strengthening his body in the process. He stayed there until the sun started going down, and only then did he stand up.

His next destination was the area with the Elf portal. Yami really wanted to see what laid behind that one. Getting a human-like card could be very useful for him, and he wondered if they will have a personality or not.

After looking around and making sure there was no one nearby, Yami quickly ran into the portal. This time, there were some actual changes in the scenery as twelve tents appeared around him. Shortly, blue-skinned women with wheat-like hair, wearing only a long green dress, walked out from them.

[Mystical Elf]

Yami recognized them at first glance. That was a monster card that he knew about, and from what he remembered, Mystical Elf had a lot of defense but lacked attack power.

He was about to relax when one of them suddenly raised her hand towards him and fired a blue bolt of energy. Quickly, he jumped to the side and rolled on the ground.

"What the fuck?!" Yami cursed. This wasn't going as planned; the Mystical Elves weren't supposed to have attacking abilities.

He might've been taken by surprise, but he didn't hesitate to fire his Absorption Line at two elves. The first one got trapped by his line as it wrapped around her and squeezed her tight.

"Yahh!" She let out a pained scream as he started draining her dry.

The second one, however, managed to erect a magical barrier around her that shimmered blue. Still, Yami's line wrapped around it, and since it was made out of energy, he started draining it as well.

The other ten Mystical Elves didn't sit idly and erected barriers around them before they began firing magical bolts at him.

Yami quickly took off running, but the bombardment from the magical monsters was too much for him. A few hit him on his back, and he felt the blood dripping down his body. He barely kept on his feet, but he somehow managed to keep running.

"Fuck!" Yami cursed, but the energy he was absorbing from the Mystical Elf he captured was slowly healing him. He also noticed some other kind of power that he was draining from her and the barrier. Magical energy, he thought.

"Finally, some challenge for you, whelp," Draig, again, seemed to find this amusing.

Yami didn't have the time to argue with the dragon. Instead, he summoned his Boosted Gear as well and used it to his advantage.

[Boost!]

His speed increased as he kept running for his life. The elves noticed that and began adjusting, but the call came out once more from the crystal in his chest.

[Boost!]

That was Yami's current limit, just two Boosts. But it seemed to be enough for now as the elves were having a hard time hitting him. He circled them a few times, and it helped that they stayed in place. They seemed to be weak physically, which worked well for him.

After Yami's wounds somewhat healed, he decided to take it up a notch and quicken the fight.

[Transfer!]

"Absorb!" Yami transferred his boosts over to his Absorption Line, and the effect was instant. The first elf he had captured withered away in seconds, while the second one's barrier shattered like glass.

[Boost!]

Yami activated his Boosted Gear again and continued running around. He kept repeating the process of transferring the power over to the Absorption Line for a boosted Absorb. Like that, he managed to quickly clear the Elf portal and kill the annoying Mystical Elves.

Looking at his new card, Yami understood how weak he was in the grand scheme of things. The Mystical Elf should've been a weak enemy that shouldn't have been that hard to take out. Yes, there were more than one, but he was still annoyed with his performance.

Returning back to his apartment, Yami planned his new few days. Finding a martial arts dojo to learn how to fight seemed like it was his first priority, and... gods, becoming a vigilante to take down and steal from any local gangs was the next one.

When he returned home, Yami took out his new card and focused his magic on it, "Mystical Elf."

His new monster appeared in front of him, and he didn't even feel drained as he had an excess amount of magical power. Another thing that he had to learn how to use and possibly increase his reserves as well.

Yami stared at the blue-skinned woman in front of him for a moment before asking, "Can you talk?"

"Yes, Master," the elf confirmed with a melodic voice.

At least he would have someone else to talk to other than Ddraig.

"What can you do?" Yami asked.

"Whatever you wish me to do, Master," the elf replied.

Okay, he can work with that. The elf seemed to be entirely under his control, but Yami wondered if other intelligent monsters would be able to fight back his commands. Hopefully, he should be stronger than then since he wouldn't have obtained their cards otherwise.

"Can you teach me your magic?" Yami asked.

"I only know how to use two spells, Mystical Barrier and Mystical Bolt, and I can try to teach you to the best of my abilities," the elf nodded. Both spells seemed useful, and he could even Boost the Mystical Bolt to quickly take out some weaker enemies.

Learning magic could wait for a bit. Now, Yami decided to see how much the Mystical Elf would obey his commands, and depending on the result, he might get to release some of his stress.

~Lemon~

"Strip," Yami said and stepped closer to her.

Without hesitation, the elf removed her green robes, revealing her naked body beneath it. She had long and slim legs with not a speck of hair around her private parts. Her breasts weren't big, but they looked firm, and Yami decided to check them out. His hand reached out, and she didn't even flinch as he cupped one of them. He squeezed her breast a few times, enjoying the firm feeling before his fingers pinched her nipple.

"Ahhh!" The elf let out a moan.

Yami nodded. It seemed the Mystical Elf wasn't a complete doll without any emotions. Or maybe she was faking it for him. Either way, he didn't care at the moment.

His other hand grabbed her chin and pulled her closer to him as she was slightly taller. He kissed her roughly before his tongue parted her lips and started exploring her mouth.

The elf kissed back, and her own tongue started playing with his, almost as if she was enjoying it. Yami didn't mind as this way it would be more enjoyable for him as well.

He released her breast and brought his hand over to her naked ass, fondling it roughly. After enjoying it for a moment, he spanked her once, and the elf moaned in his mouth.

Yami smirked and pulled her over to his bed. He quickly removed his clothes and sat down before saying, "Start sucking."

The elf dropped on her knees without hesitation and obeyed his command. She wrapped her mouth around his already erect member and began bobbing up and down. She was obviously inexperienced; this was probably her first time, but the sensation was still enjoyable.

"Use your tongue more," Yami commanded, and she obeyed like a good pet. The blowjob instantly became even better.

He placed his hand over her head and began dictating the pace at which she bobbed up and down. Before he knew it, he was thrusting in her mouth and enjoying a nice face fuck.

Yami hadn't been a virgin in his past life, but this body was. If he continued like this, he was going to finish shortly, and he hadn't even tasted her forbidden fruit. That wouldn't do.

He pulled her head away, leaving a string of saliva connected with his crotch. The elf's light blue eyes stared at him, anticipating her next order with expectation.

Yami pulled over on the bed face-up and spread her legs. Her pussy was an exotic blue color that enticed his eyes. He didn't bother with any foreplay; his crotch was already lubricated with her saliva, and she even looked as if she was wet.

He aimed his crotch at her pussy, and without hesitation, he thrust inside her.

"AHHH!" The elf moaned in pleasure, and Yami was more than surprised when he met a bit of resistance. He hadn't even considered that she might be a virgin, but it didn't change much.

When he was fully inside her, both of them shook in pleasure. Yami even let out a moan himself as the elf was super tight and hot, making it one incredible experience.

Yami began thrusting with vigor as the elf moaned with pleasure underneath him. His hand reached out, grabbing her breasts, and he began playing with her erect nipples. He increased the pace of his thrusts, enjoying himself more and more by the second.

He was having an incredible time, but his virgin body was reaching his limits. Yami pulled out and positioned himself above her mouth.

"Open up."

The moment her mouth opened, Yami began face fucking her before he finally reached his end. He finished and released all of his load down her throat.

Yami stood up, quite satisfied with the outcome even though he hadn't lasted long. That was fine since he could change that with more experience, and he the perfect candidate to help him. He felt much better now, proving that sex is the best stress relief.

"Come and help me clean myself," Yami walked towards the bathroom, and the elf followed after him. Depending on how his body reacts, he might get to finish one more time this night.
