Chapter 1088

〈 Chapter 1088 〉 1088. Spirit’s Atlantis

Federica put something in her mouth and grabbed my shoulder. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. On her seductive red tongue was a black capsule.

Federica gave me a seductive smile and kissed me.

First, I felt her soft, moist lips. She took aim at the slight gap between my lips and pushed her tongue into my mouth. I could feel the somewhat alien texture of the capsule.

I instinctively tried to push the capsule away. While I knew that no drug could pose much danger to me, it was still an instinctive reaction.

“Your technique… is impressive.”

Her tongue moved like a living snake. As our tongues intertwined, I began to feel increasingly aroused. The erotic scent of roses filled the air. Her ample breasts pressed against my body. It was a sticky, sweet kiss.

The capsule slid deeper into my mouth. But the capsule had become secondary now. More important than that was the sticky kiss with Federica.

Saliva flowed from her mouth into mine. I tried to spit it out, but her tongue blocked the way. Together with her sweet saliva, the capsule slipped down my throat.

Gulp.

Federica swept her tongue through my mouth one last time before pulling away. A string of sticky saliva stretched between her wet lips.

“Hmm… You’re good at kissing. And your hands are pretty bold too.”

Federica grinned. Somehow, both of my hands were already touching her waist and hips. Her hips were big and firm – they felt great to the touch.

“You’re the one who made the first move.”

“…If I’d known you were this easy, I would’ve done this ages ago.”

Federica tried to push me away. Apparently, once I swallowed the capsule, her job here was done.

I tightly grabbed her hips before letting go. Federica gave a seductive laugh as she adjusted her disheveled dress. Her previously exposed nipples were once again hidden.

“The task went smoothly.”

Federica stared at me intently. I stared back at her.

“…You seem fine despite everything. No matter how high your stats are, no one survives the Rose Drug unscathed…,”

She tilted her head in confusion.

I raised my hand. It was trembling slightly. The Rose Drug was definitely taking effect – this shaking hand was proof.

“It seems to affect the body physically… but in reality, it’s a drug that targets the mind. My mental strength is strong enough that this kind of drug doesn’t work on me.”

“As long as I maintain my sanity, there’s no way I’ll lose my mind. Whether it’s magic or drugs, they’re all the same.”

“…Impressive indeed. So that’s your inherent trait? Unlike that idiot over there, you make me want you even more…”

“If by ‘idiot’ you mean Federica’s boyfriend… Is it okay to call him that?”

“Call an idiot an idiot. What else would you call him?”

Federica kicked Santano’s head. Santano’s head twitched.

“Kyaaak! Gael! This bastard…!”

Santano twitched but couldn’t get up, completely intoxicated by the drug. He would likely stay this way for a few hours.

“Who exactly is this Gael person?”

“A friend who betrayed Santano. Santano killed him himself last year. Maybe it’s guilt or something, but whenever he’s drunk, he always mutters Gael’s name.”

I reached across the table. A few black capsules I had just consumed were rolling around on its surface. I placed one on my palm.

「Rose Drug

Improves mood.

Highly addictive.

Creates happy times.

Rank: D」

“Did you know drugs are illegal?”


It was not against the rules set by the system. Atlantis doesn’t impose any laws on its human inhabitants except for the designated restrictions of each zone. In practical terms, Atlantis is a lawless land. The only reason there’s even a semblance of law in Atlantis is because of the efforts of the Justia Empire.

“Are you thinking of tattling to Illusion Lord about this?”

“Eh, that’s not such a bad idea.”

“…This is unexpected. Why aren’t your drugs working on me?”

For the first time, Federica’s expression turned rigid. Her goal is to become a noble; if she gets tied up with drugs, she won’t just lose her chance at nobility but could end up as a fugitive.

“Federica, I’ve heard you’re an alchemist. Did you create this Rose Drug yourself?”

“Just because I’m an alchemist doesn’t mean it’s proof I made the drug. There are plenty of other alchemists in this world besides me. Ah, and this Rose Drug? I just happened to come across it.”

“You’re going to play it like that, huh? Do you know what Illusion Lord’s investigation methods are like? They’re pretty aggressive.”

“…”

“…”

An intense silent battle of wills ensued. Ultimately, I emerged victorious. She sighed in defeat.

“I’m at a disadvantage here. This makes me want you even more.”

“The level of alchemy required to make this kind of drug… Even I find you increasingly desirable, Federica. Work with me.”

“…Are you trying to recruit me?”

“What could possibly go wrong? You’re using drugs to gather funds, but that has limits, right? Specifically, distribution problems.”

“…I see. So you already knew everything. You’re no ordinary person, huh?”

There are many alchemists in this world, but finding one with exceptional skill is rare. Recruiting Federica while she’s vulnerable isn’t such a bad idea. Not into the Aprilan Legion, but perhaps the Black Pearl Syndicate or the Celestial Horse Sect.

“Sorry, but I’m sick and tired of working under anyone.”

“I see. Then let me propose something else.”

I knew she wouldn’t jump at my offer. No need to rush. She can act confident now because of the Thorn Rose Legion. But once they fall, she’ll be the anxious one.

I took off my pants. A thick member popped out.

“I’ll keep quiet about the drugs. In exchange, give it a suck.”

“…”

Federica’s face froze coldly.

“Are you serious?”

“To be honest, I was attracted to you from the moment I saw you. I wanted to make you mine. But judging by your attitude now, that seems unlikely. At the very least, shouldn’t we have some fun?”

“You’re the worst kind of man.”

“Say what you want. The choice is yours.”

“…”

Federica approached me. Slowly, she knelt down in front of me. I could feel her breath on my member, which began to stiffen.

“Did you get surgery or something? It’s enormous.”

“So you can’t handle it?”

“…No one’s ever made me do this before.”

Hesitating slightly, Federica grabbed my thighs, opened her mouth, and took it in. The moist sensation of her tongue enveloped my member. She looked up at me with piercing eyes that only made me harder.

“Chomp. Slurp, slurrrp.”

I placed my hand on Federica’s red hair, feeling it wrap around my fingers. It was soft and luxurious, delightful to touch.

For a while, the only sound was that of sucking.

As I felt myself climax, I firmly held Federica’s head, releasing a jet of white liquid down her throat. Her eyes widened in surprise. Wrinkling her brow in discomfort, she swallowed the semen in gulps.

“Puhaa… Wh-what is this ridiculous amount…?”

She wiped the semen from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.

“My stamina is quite strong. Though it’s unfortunate… Let’s call it quits here for now.”

“For now…?”

“I’ll remain silent about the drugs. Trust me.”

“…”

Federica glared at me distrustfully. As I passed her and exited the banquet hall, heading back to my room, I could feel her gaze on my back the entire way.

‘…The flow of mana seems slightly altered. Did someone put up a barrier?’

I noticed the estate’s defenses had been tightened.

‘It’s possible they might try to kill me tonight.’

The likelihood was significant. I warned Juseohyun to be cautious tonight before entering my room.

Federica was waiting for me and Juseohyun that evening…


I invited them to dinner, but they refused due to not feeling well and locked themselves in their room.

Around midnight. As I lay in bed with my eyes closed, I quietly opened them. I stared straight ahead. The door, which I had locked, silently opened, and Federica confidently walked in.

I never expected her to personally open the door and walk in so boldly.

“What brings you here? Is it an assassination?”

“If assassination was the goal, Santa Nu would’ve come instead of me. You know I’m an alchemist; I have no combat skills.”

I chuckled softly. I don’t trust Federica’s words. According to my research, she’s stronger than Santa Nu. The idea that an alchemist lacks combat ability is merely a prejudice. I’m not naive enough to fall for such biases.

“Then what brings you here at this late hour?”

“Hmm… upon further thought, your proposal doesn’t seem too bad.”

Click.

She closed the door and approached the bed. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at her body. She wore a black dress, much more revealing than the one I saw earlier today. Her waist and back were exposed, and her nipples pushed provocatively against the fabric of her chest.

“Are you considering working with me?”

“Yes. But I have my own condition: help me become nobility.”

“It’s quite difficult, but it doesn’t seem impossible.”

Federica lowered her dress. Moonlight streaming through the window illuminated her naked body, unadorned by any undergarments. Her ample breasts, slender waist, and large hips were breathtaking.

She slowly climbed onto the bed, pulling the blanket covering my body aside. Her eyes widened when she noticed I was already naked beneath the covers.

“…Surely. Were you waiting for me?”

“That’s not it. It’s just my principle not to sleep with clothes on.”

“Hmm.”

Federica grabbed my shoulders and straddled my thighs. My gaze fell to her groin, where neatly trimmed crimson pubic hair formed a triangular line like a bikini. Her labia were thick and a light pink color. When I placed my palm there, I could feel the softness of her plump labia.

“…Federica, why are you so obsessed with becoming nobility? You could live a life enviable even to nobles as you are now.”

“Even if I can live like that, I still wouldn’t be nobility, would I? I want to prove that someone like me can become nobility too.”

Federica slowly moved her body. Her soft skin rubbed against mine. Her waist swayed, and the vulva pressed against my hand grew warmer. I buried my face in her bosom, catching the scent of roses.

“Ahh… your large member is touching my thigh…”

Her voice, dripping with coquetry, tickled my ear. My seated body fell back onto the bed as Federica mounted me, flaunting her feline-like allure. The bouncing breasts and round, large buttocks made my erection reach its limit.

What caught my attention even more were the rose thorn tattoos on her left shoulder and hip. I didn’t expect her to have one on her hip.

I grabbed her moving breasts while saying,

“Let’s get started now.”

“Ahhh… yes. Let’s do it. That’s good.”

She leaned her upper body over mine. Though not bad, it wasn’t what I wanted. Just as I tried to sit up, the rose tattoo on her body wriggled and connected to mine.

“…What have you done?”

“No matter what, I can’t fully trust you, can I?”

Federica smirked.

The rose tattoo starting from my abdomen gradually crept upward, settling on my chest and neck.

“The Subjugation of Roses (S) has been completed.”

“Your life is now subjugated to Federica.”

It was a subjugation-type skill.

I let out an exasperated sigh. I anticipated poison or something, but I didn’t expect a subjugation skill.

Federica gently caressed my face with her soft hand.

“Don’t worry. If you listen to me, I’ll spoil you endlessly. Besides, your face happens to be right up my alley.”

Smack.

She kissed my chest, now adorned with the rose tattoo.
