The Game Rune System

A few days later, the night.

Tetsuya was sleeping on his bed like any normal person. His face exuded comfortable and calm complexion and he certainly had been enjoying this sleep. As one of the servants who had brought pride to Thera Household, Tetsuya's status went up and he was on par with the head butler.

His face suddenly distorted, however.

An unknown amount of energy began to swarm his body and Tetsuya's consciousness got pulled to the special room.

Now, he was all awake and confused, "This is…" This room should be within his body, but Tetsuya had no way of confirming things. If his soul were to be taken away, Tetsuya wouldn't be able to tell anyway.

He could now clearly say or think about such matters.

His soul control was just weak.

Nonetheless, the room quickly bloomed with a pleasing and slightly sharp fragrance.

Tetsuya's vision then spotted blonde-haired woman with violet eyes sitting on the ground with sweat trickling down her face. She had also dangerously pale skin, but smile on her face kept getting wider.

And Tetsuya's appearance faded all exhaustion the lady had been feeling so far.

"Tetsuya!" The voice Tetsuya had been missing for two years finally assaulted him. He opened his eyes widely, then both partners ended up in a genuine hug.

Feeling how tightly Tetsuya held her, Ashley giggled and asked, "Have you missed me?" She sounded ecstatic and so Tetsuya.

"I missed my naughty demon too much it seems." He himself never expected to pull his woman into embrace like that. His heart was also pulled by Ashley's appearance and both of them were literally melting into each other.

Since Tetsuya just easily and rather normally agreed with her, Ashley blinked her beautiful violet jewels and glanced at his face.

"A lot must have happened! I hope you haven't treated any lady badly!" This evil charming prince had indeed evil charm, so Ashley immediately asked while cuddling. However, she quickly realized that 'way too much has happened'.

Tetsuya just genuinely laughed which was shocking at first. In fact, Ashley didn't know what it exactly was but his smile and every move was just too sweet and genuine that she felt like he was using the playful demon's bloodline on his own.

Nonetheless, Ashley believed that Tetsuya wouldn't do something like that and just laid her head on his chest with relief, "I still have a lot to learn, but when it comes to women I have no flaws whatsoever."

"You do have flaws!" Ashley rolled her eyes. Before she could explain herself, Tetsuya's voice rang out within her ears.

"I know what flaws you are talking about. And now, these too are gone. If I was nurturing the love in the past, then now I and my partners both are nurturing the love with much more affection."

"Who? Who could make you say these words?" Ashley didn't know that Tetsuya was alone without any intimate contact for more than two years now. He just learned to look at the world differently and accepted its changes.

He was now properly training and building his experience!

"I think I would also have a reality check in my world if I were to continue to live there. School and part-time jobs were nothing compared to real life where experience matters. It's still the past, so let's forget about it. What I want to think about is you right now."

"Tetsuya…" The shock from Tetsuya's change and his touch made Ashley's mind spin. It was the first time they could properly see each other, even if it was the soul form. In his embrace, Ashley lost herself after Tetsuya's lips brushed past hers.

She then felt him kissing her deeply to the point where the whole world spinned and her mind was nothing else other than pleasure of this kiss.

Her body trembled with ecstasy, then Tetsuya let her go, "I don't want to go further since you have soul form. My naughty demon will have to survive with kisses."

"I want more!" Ashley shook her head, then asked for more with the goal to make Tetsuya feel the way she just did. Of course, the naughty demon would be able to learn how to kiss very fast and so Tetsuya went for the dominating one yet again.

The duo spent a lot of time in their embrace, then both of them sat down for a nice talk.

-

"Is your 'Q' still ego punch?" Ashley asked before showing the results of her hard-work.

"It's Ego Slash now." Tetsuya answered quickly and added an explanation, "I have talent and I can learn way faster and better compared to others. There is no reason for me to not feel proud and cocky about it, but… There are people who are above me."

Ashley smiled and patted his head after such an exclamation, "It's okay! We will be the strongest and your ego will bloom when everyone will be forced to play our game! However, I would like this ego sovereign to shine only during battle and the most important matters!" Ashley didn't want her partner to return to the ego sovereign who only cared about himself and his pleasure.

She wanted him to treat women the way he did to Milady Yuhi and have him and his women to have genuine contribution to his relationship.

"My family is the most important, though?" Tetsuya teased, but he understood. His hand just stroked Ashley to reassure her. This demon also teased Ashley too much with his advances as the lady sometimes expected his hand to land on her ass.

But it was all teases and so his hand mostly lingered around Ashley's waist.

"I think it will take you a while to make Milady Yuhi truly happy." Ashley said while spreading the scroll in the 'soul room'. How did she even create it was out of Tetsuya's understanding, "But you got my support! She seems like nice lady and her husband is long dead, so there is nothing immoral about it."

"Hah, so far away from naughty demoness." Tetsuya chuckled, then asked, "So what is this scroll?" His question was so genuine and curious that Ashley raised the scroll and proudly stated its name.

"It's Chapter 1 Of Romantic Swordsmanship Quest!" Ashley then stated what her research unveiled!

"You know that this Romantic Swordsmanship is related to the demon bloodline? Although faint and clearly not direct, the romantic swordsmanship is a branch of one of the demonic runes!" This made Tetsuya nod his head several times.

He turned his eyes to Ashley's lovely pupils, "A naughty and horny demon, lustful one? Is there a demon as such?"

"I think there is! The lust is kinda negative emotion, right? It's easy to lose oneself in lust, so even if it feels good the lust is clearly a negative emotion! Yes…" Ashley remembered the kiss that made her only think of it.

If someone could control it, then one would make Ashley like a slave, and so it was the negative emotion indeed.

"I found out that there is a small resonance between my bloodline and this one. My demonic bloodline wants to play with this rune and so I got this chapter 1 for MMORPG players! Hehe!" Ashley chuckled as she already had an idea how to use it.

"Hmm. It's like a matter of pride between two demons. Each wants their bloodline to top over." Tetsuya laughed, then asked about the plan.

He then uttered, "It's too early for that. I at least need strength or status to stop Henryk from killing me."

"Yes, I understand!" Ashley agreed too and then laid herself on Tetsuya. "I will be able to watch your adventures yet again! I look forward to that!" She then cuddled and hid her red face from the game master, but it left so many openings that Tetsuya ended up just fondling her breasts.
