Last night the rain fell lightly and the wind blew strong; even deep sleep couldn’t dispel the lingering effects of the wine.

Last night, Jacob had experienced an enchanting dream, the wonderful nature of which was not something he could share with anyone else.

It felt like floating through the air, experiencing stirrings and trembling sensations deep within his very soul.

The faint incense fragrance in the room drifted like wisps of dreamy mist—light and captivating—intertwining with the spring breeze and with the people within.

Jacob stretched his body, immediately noticing a strange soreness in his lower back.

He turned his head, and his eyes fell upon a snow-white back, delicate shoulder blades, not a single ounce of excess flesh anywhere, and long, beautiful hair loosely scattered across the bed.

This sight made Jacob’s pupils constrict slightly in shock, and for a long moment, he genuinely couldn’t distinguish whether what he was seeing was a dream or reality.

The jade-like, snow-white skin made Jacob’s head spin with disbelief. Only then did Jacob fully realize that he and Raya appeared to be sharing the same blanket.

Perhaps Jacob’s movements were too abrupt, allowing a slight draft of cool air to slip under the blanket. Raya seemed to sense waves of coldness against her back.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Her bright eyes widened as she turned to stare at Jacob, then she stretched out her slender arm to pull the blanket up higher, covering herself more completely. Only her perfumed shoulder remained half-exposed to the morning air.

Their gazes met directly, and Jacob’s face visibly flushed with color as he looked at Raya’s snow-white shoulder. In his dazed state, Jacob found himself somewhat unable to determine whether this situation was a dream or actual reality.

Everything seemed profoundly unreal to him. Jacob seriously suspected he must be dreaming, but the persistent soreness radiating from his waist kept reminding him insistently that none of this was merely a dream.

Compared to the obvious shock and disbelief written across Jacob’s face, Raya, though equally turbulent with emotions inside, appeared remarkably calm on the surface. She maintained her characteristically noble and composed demeanor.

Her beautiful face glowed with a certain radiance, and a hint of redness showed through her normally snow-white complexion. Only her pronounced dark circles indicated clearly that she must have been restless for quite a long time last night, finally sleeping very late. Her limbs also felt sore and weak throughout, and her knees bore visible scrapes.

Moreover, when she had shifted her body just moments ago, she’d accidentally aggravated her injuries. A sharp, tearing sensation had surged through her, making her frown tightly and draw in a sharp, cold breath, though she forced herself to maintain an outwardly calm appearance.

“You’re awake?” Raya’s voice came out flat and measured.

“Mmm,” Jacob replied in a blank, somewhat stunned tone.

At this particular moment, his emotions were extraordinarily complex and conflicted. On one hand, he felt deeply annoyed by his own impulsiveness and lack of control: I actually slept with Aunt Raya?

But simultaneously, on the other hand, he experienced a strange sense of excitement coursing through him: I actually slept with Aunt Raya!

“That…” Jacob attempted to say something meaningful, but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly realized that regardless of what he said at this moment, he would inevitably sound like a complete scumbag. He could only manage to offer a pale, inadequate explanation: “I drank far too much last night.”

“Mmm,” Raya’s voice turned noticeably cold as she responded: “I know. I drank too much as well.”

“Aunt Raya…” Jacob had barely opened his mouth to speak when he mentally wanted to slap himself twice for his stupidity. Wasn’t it utterly foolish to still be calling her Aunt Raya at a time like this?

“If you’re awake now, then leave.” As he’d expected, Raya’s face visibly darkened, and her voice became several shades colder than before.

“Raya…” Jacob quickly corrected himself, using her actual name.

“Do you still have something you need to say?” Raya turned her head to look directly at Jacob with a piercing gaze. “Why are you still staying here? I need to get dressed and get up. Are you hoping for an Encore?”

“Cough, cough.” Raya’s blunt words nearly made Jacob choke and cough. Although he genuinely couldn’t recall the specific wonderful moments from last night in any detail, the persistent soreness in his lower back constantly reminded him of the immense physical exertion from the previous evening.

But a man could never allow himself to say he wasn’t capable: “If you truly want to, it’s not entirely impossible.”

“Get out,” Raya commanded firmly.

“Alright, I’m going.”

Jacob nodded quickly in agreement. He carefully got up from the bed, put on his pants with a few swift, efficient movements, and walked toward the door while simultaneously pulling on his shirt.

Raya’s intimate garments scattered across the floor served as clear evidence that everything that had transpired last night had been anything but peaceful or gentle.

The floral strapless long dress that Raya had worn the previous evening had truly been transformed into scattered petals—like snowflakes strewn liberally across the floor, almost completely covering the entire carpet surface.

Jacob couldn’t help but feel his face burning with embarrassment. He tiptoed carefully over the chaotic mess covering the floor and rushed quickly out the door.

… … … …

After Jacob finally left the room, Raya also struggled with considerable effort to get up from the bed. The sharp pain throughout her body made her frown intensely, and as she recalled everything that had happened during the previous night, Raya couldn’t prevent herself from blushing deeply.

Last night, Jacob had been like a trapped beast desperately yearning for freedom and release.

“Zion, please bring me a fresh set of clothes,” Raya’s languid voice called out.

“Right away.”

Not long afterward, Zion entered the room carrying a new set of clothing. Upon seeing the thoroughly messy state of the room, his heart began pounding rapidly, and he couldn’t help but allow his mind to start racing with thoughts.

Last night had truly been anything but peaceful. Although from the melodious sounds that had emanated from Raya’s room last night, he’d known the encounter had been quite intense, witnessing the devastating state of the room firsthand left Zion with only one way to describe it: utterly shocking.

He discreetly glanced at Raya, thinking to himself that only someone with Raya’s voluptuous figure could possibly endure something of that magnitude.

Noticing Zion’s eyes darting around the room observantly, Raya couldn’t help but feel her face flush with embarrassment. “Zion, please go clean up the room thoroughly.”

“Make sure to put away the bedsheets as well,” she added.

… … … …

Three days later.

“Gigantamax pre-quest completed successfully…”

“Pre-quest one: Collect Wishing Stars 3/3, completed.”

“Pre-quest two: At least one Pokémon’s strength reaches Heavenly King level, completed.”

“Rewards currently being distributed…”

“Received rewards: Dynamax Band X1, Max Soup X12.”

Dynamax Band: In areas near locations with rich Dynamax energy, Pokémon can undergo Gigantamax transformation through the Dynamax Band.

Max Soup: After a Pokémon with the inherent potential to Gigantamax consumes Max Soup, a Pokémon that originally couldn’t Gigantamax will become capable of doing so, while a Pokémon that originally could Gigantamax will lose this ability.

“Ultimate Quest now released: Gigantamax Mystery Realm.”

Gigantamax Mystery Realm: After successfully collecting three Wishing Stars, travel to a predetermined fixed location to unseal the Gigantamax Mystery Realm. Each unsealing attempt requires one Wishing Star. Each successfully unsealed point will cause the Dynamax energy in a specific area of the world to become substantially enriched and continuously increase over time, with certain Pokémon in those areas beginning to exhibit Gigantamax phenomena.

Important Note: When all seals of the Gigantamax Mystery Realm have been completely unsealed, the currently dormant Eternatus will be awakened from its slumber.

Eternatus is an extremely dangerous Pokémon and may potentially cause incalculable destruction to the world, therefore each seal removal must be approached with extra caution and careful consideration. Before attempting to remove the final seal, you must first locate and obtain the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield, then travel to the Secret Realm known as the Slumbering Weald to awaken Zacian, the Warrior Pokémon, and Zamazenta, the Fighting Master Pokémon.

Currently unsealed areas: 0 out of 18 total locations.
