Tara woke up slowly, her body was sore and she had a headache, she heard a strange noise which woke her up.

Sunlight streamed into the living room through the window and small dust particles could be seen floating about where the rays of the sun touched the air.

“Aah,”

Tara raised her randomly sprawled body which felt really refreshing today for some reason. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room.

“Hm? Why was I sleeping in the living room?”

For some reason she was sleeping, naked at that, in the living room. This was odd, but she didn’t have much time to think on it, she was overcome with the intense need to pee.

She got up to go to the bathroom but she stumbled and almost fell on her face, everything under her waist was sore and she moved to quickly.

Why? What happened? Suddenly her headache became worse so she abandoned that thought and decided to relieve herself first before anything else.

So she jogged over to the bathroom, but the door was wide open for some reason, she didn’t care about that and instead charged in only to be met with a sight she didn’t even dream of seeing.

Esdras was laying submerged in steaming water in her own bathtub while humming a strange sounding tune.

“Aaaaahhhhhh!”

Suddenly all the memories of what happened last night flashed through her mind and she screamed in shock and terror.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”

Esdras asked in annoyance, he was not expecting to hear such a disturbing screech first thing in the morning.

“Y-you!!! You raped me yesterday!”

Tara pointed at him in horror and looked down at herself for the first time since waking up, she could see and feel some dried cum on her inner thighs…

“Raped you?” Esdras mocked, “oh, please, you invited me here and took off your own clothes, you said you were going to satisfy me. Did I miss anything?”

“T-that’s—” Tara was speechless for a moment, she couldn’t confess that it was part of an elaborate scheme to kill him and frame him for rape… wait a moment!

“I-I will tell everyone that you raped me!” Tara’s eyes gleamed in viciousness. Things didn’t go as planned but in the end it was the same as the original plan.

No.

It was even better, the evidence was undeniable now. Although she had to sacrifice herself for this result it was without a doubt a checkmate.

Yesterday she was subjected to utter humiliation and disgrace, at one one she was even spanked like a little girl! She had never in her life been through this kind of misery.

Even if she got to take Esdras’s limbs one after another she would never forget this grudge!

Tara looked back at Esdras to see him beg for mercy only to deny him and enjoy his suffering, but something was wrong. He had a bored expression.

“Oh, ok. Go ahead then, tell everyone if you want to go with that story.”

“You think they won’t believe me? This is more than enough proof! It’s over for you!” She spat with venom in her words.

“Okay, didn’t you hear me the first time I said go. But maybe you should see this first before going, how about it?”

“See what?” Tara rolled her eyes, she didn’t think this was fun anymore. Suddenly her eyes widened in shock and were about to fall out their sockets.

A fireball, half her size appeared behind her, surprising her and causing her to slip and fall on her bruised butt. The fireball closed in on her to the point that she felt her skin burn.

This was not a spell that a mere apprentice could cast, not to mention the density of the flames and the heat, it was just how big it was and how quickly it appeared behind her.

This could only mean one thing, but it was so surreal that she instinctively denied that answer just because of how absurd it was.

“No way… absolutely no way…”

“Do you understand now?” Esdras took that moment to dispel the fireball and step out of the bathtub.

“The difference in status between us?” Esdras chuckled and whipped his hair back, “so, go, do your thing if you feel like it.”

“Oh, what the hell? Did you piss yourself! Seriously!”

Tara had unknowingly pissed herself in fear. This is because she realized what this meant, that she would have been killed by Esdras in the rite of passage either way.

To them the rite of passage was a life and death trial but to Esdras it was a walk in the park, in which he decided the life and death of whomever he wanted.

It was very likely that Esdras who held a grudge against them would take the chance to eliminate them then.

This was indeed what was going to happen.

“Anyway, get up and get me a towel will you?” Esdras suddenly grabbed Tara and pulled her up. Tara still confused got him a towel and blinked repeatedly looking lost.

“Also, I don’t know what you were planing but it probably had something to do with that ability of yours right?”

That was when she received another shock.

“H-how did you—!!”

This was the secret most important to her that no one knew about.

“How indeed.”

Esdras naturally wasn’t going to tell her.

[Name: Tara Chester]

Rank: 1

Class: apprentice mage Lv.3

Race: Human (dormant nymph bloodline)

Traits: 1) enhanced pleasure Lv.1

Esdras had already seen her stats and was on guard against this ability but it was low-level and it could only affect low-level beings.

He wasn’t only a True mage but even a Core knight, his body and mind were beyond normal, how could her ability work on him.

Actually it did work, it just wasn’t very effective.

“What do you want from me?” Tara asked.

Esdras smirked, “oh, not much, not much, believe me.”
