Ash was ascending to the heavens. His mood was at the peak of happiness, something he had never felt since transmigrating into this world. A smile refused to leave his face, and he had finally managed to overcome the lingering emotions that weighed on him after returning from the dwarven continent.
A few days ago, he and Elysia… at night.
Ah! No, we didn't cross the line, it was just a kiss, just a kiss…
Even though several days had passed, that grin of his never faded. Whether he was training or completing other tasks, it always lingered. After that night, the distance between them had lessened considerably, and their closeness had reached a new level.
Every time he recalled that moment, the warmth of her lips and the gentleness in her eyes replayed in his mind like a memory carved into his very soul. And it was actually carved into his soul.
It was just a simple kiss, filled with hunger to devour each other, yet it carried a weight he could not put into words.
