Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Corruption Complete

The wagon rolled north through terrain that shifted between rocky outcroppings and wide stretches of grass plains, the packed road winding through landscape that looked nothing like the forested areas around the settlement they'd left behind. The timber beast pulled steadily with its massive body rippling with each powerful stride, Morning sunlight caught the creature's antler-like horns, making them gleam.

Rem sat in the wagon bed surrounded by their supplies, and priestess had chosen to sit beside her rather than up front with Kaisen and Elise, their shoulders touched with every bump and sway of the wagon but rem didnt mind, neither of them had moved apart since they'd started traveling hours ago. It comfortable in a way.

In two weeks, they would reach the capital..... plenty of time for a lot of things to happen. Rem's thoughts went immediately to the quest timer she'd checked that morning while getting dressed:

[ARIA'S FAVORITE - Part 3: The Appetite Grows]

Time Remaining: 4 days, 2 hours

Altaria Seduction Progress: 55%

Status: Target will seek you out within 24 hours based on corruption levels

Twenty-four hours. Which meant tonight, tonight Altaria would come to her seeking to finish what they'd started in Rem's room

Except this time Rem knew Altaria wouldn't run. The corruption was too far along, the lust had licked her. The priestess had been thinking about nothing else for the past day and a half based on how she kept glancing at Rem when she thought no one was looking, how her breathing hitched whenever their hands brushed.

But that completion would require more than just Rem this time. Unlike the encounter with Elise that had been relatively straightforward despite the threesome dynamic, Altaria was still a virgin. And the quest specifically required sex, proper fucking, not just fingering or oral.

Which meant Kaisen would have to fuck Altaria while Rem watched and participated. damnit she was not gonna get cucked.

The thought made Rem's stomach twist , jealousy there was some of that, more like anxiety about what her role would be. Watching him with someone else, in a way that felt different from the easy dynamic she and Elise had already established. This would be more deliberate.

"Are you alright?" Altaria's voice pulled her from her spiraling thoughts. The priestess was looking at her with concern, those bright green eyes searching Rem's face for whatever had caused her expression to shift. "You look worried about something."

"Just thinking about the journey ahead," Rem said, which wasn't technically a lie. "The two weeks are in no way going to be easy... trust me, so its better to plan ahead"

"You're very responsible," Altaria said with a small smile. "Always thinking ahead and making sure everyone's taken care of. hehe"

Rem almost laughed at that description. Responsible. If only Altaria knew what most of Rem's "planning ahead" Real responsible behavior there.

Altaria's hand found hers beneath one of the supply bundles where it would be hidden from Kaisen and Elise's view in the driver's seat. The touch was tentative and nervous, like she wasn't completely sure if it was allowed or appropriate, but she didn't pull away once contact was made.

Rem squeezed back, sending pleasant warmth spreading from their joined hands up through both their arms. It was subtle enough that Altaria might not consciously register it as magical, but her breath still hitched slightly and her pupils dilated just a fraction.

They rode like that for a while in silence, hands clasped secretly between them while the wagon swayed and bounced beneath them and the landscape continued to change from rocky terrain back to open grass plains. The Corruption Amulet pulsed against Rem's chest with its dark metal warm against her skin, doubling its passive corruption effect on the priestess and slowly eroding more of her resistance and inhibitions with every moment of contact.

"I haven't stopped thinking about the other night," Altaria admitted quietly after a while, her voice pitched low enough that it wouldn't carry to the front of the wagon over the rumble of wheels on the packed earth "About what we did together in your room. What we... what we almost did before I ran away."

Rem felt her mark warm beneath her clothes in response to Altaria's admission, the divine tattoo reacting to the corruption taking deeper root. "And how do you feel about it now? Still panicked?"

"No." Altaria shook her head, copper hair catching the sunlight. "Now I just feel frustrated that I stopped you. I want to know what comes next, what you were going to show me...."

There it was, the real altaria was speaking, it the og draft, altaria had been slowly but surely corrupted by kaisen but their dynamic was of lovers, not lust and need, what was to come from this?

"Tonight," Rem said simply. "When we make camp for the evening. We'll finish what we started."

"Just us?" The question held both hope and nervousness in equal measure, like Altaria wasn't sure which answer she wanted to hear.

"No." Rem met her eyes directly, watching carefully for her reaction. "I'll need Kaisen's help with this. I can't... I'm a woman, Altaria. I can't give you everything you need for this. You understand what I'm saying? wont you be a good toy?"

Understanding dawned slowly on Altaria's face, her cheeks flushing deeper as the implications sank in. "You mean... both of you at once. Like you mentioned before when you were touching me. Him and you together."

"If you're okay with that. If you trust us both enough for it." Rem squeezed her hand gently. "I promise we'll take care of you, make sure it feels good, go slow. But I need you to be certain this is what you want before we start because once we do, there's no going back."

Altaria was quiet for a long moment, processing what Rem was asking of her. Asking her to give up not just her vows of chastity but to do it with two people she barely knew, in a way that the church would have condemned as the worst sort of debauchery and corruption. Everything she'd been taught said this was wrong, that she should refuse, that she should be horrified by the suggestion.

But....

"I trust you," Altaria said finally, her voice firm "If you say I need both of you for this, then I need both of you. I want to feel everything, experience everything I've been denying myself. And I want you to be the ones to show me."

The simple faith in her words was almost painful in its innocence despite everything. Rem had corrupted this priestess so thoroughly that she'd accept a threesome with near-strangers just because Rem told her it was necessary. The power in that realization was intoxicating and terrifying in equal measure.

Aria's voice whispered through the mark, pleased with the progress: "Perfect. She'd do anything you asked now, follow you anywhere, accept any degradation as long as you framed it well. This is what true game looks like! welocome to the playoffs toy, your getting your own!!"

Rem dismissed the goddess's commentary and focused on Altaria's face, seeing the mixture of anticipation and anxiety there. "Then tonight after we make camp and everyone else is asleep, we'll take you somewhere private where no one can interrupt. And we'll teach you everything."

Altaria nodded, not trusting herself to speak. Her hand was trembling slightly in Rem's grip now.

They fell back into silence after that, but it was a different quality of quiet now, but Altaria had already grown horny, rem could somewhat feel it through desire sense.

The mark on Rem's back continued to pulse warm beneath her clothes, matching rhythm with her heartbeat. Aria was watching, waiting for moment when Altaria's last boundaries would crumble and she'd give herself over completely.

The landscape continued shifting as they traveled north through the morning and into early afternoon, rocky terrain giving way to expansive grass plains before rising back into scattered stone outcroppings and then flattening again. This region was distinctly different from the densely forested areas around the settlement where they'd spent the past week-more open and exposed with better visibility in all directions but fewer natural places to hide or take cover if trouble found them.

"New territory means new monsters," Elise commented from the front seat, twisting around to look back at them. Her short hair was wind-tousled from hours of travel and her expression was alert despite the monotony of wagon driving. "Stay sharp. We don't know what hunts in this region and we can't rely on familiar patterns."

As if her words had summoned danger, Rem felt a sudden spike through her Sense, multiple sources of hostile intent, coming from above and behind them, moving fast.

"Incoming!" Rem shouted, her hand already going to her longsword. "Above and behind, fast movers!"

Kaisen's reaction was immediate as. He yanked hard on the reins, bringing the timber beast to a sudden halt before it could panic and bolt at the first sign of danger. The wagon lurched violently with the abrupt stop, nearly throwing Rem and Altaria forward into the supply bundles.

Dark shapes erupted from a cave they'd just passed, at least a dozen creatures launching into the air with screeching cries that made Rem's ears ring painfully. They moved erratically through the afternoon sunlight, their flight patterns more like darting than smooth gliding.

Tombats.

Rem had created these visous creature as natives of these areas, they usually hunted in packs and were quite the freak of nature.

Each Tombat was roughly the size of an average 10 year old human, but with leathery bat wings that spanned at least four feet when fully extended. Gray-black fur covered their compact bodies, matted and dirty-looking. Their eyes glowed an eerie yellow in the sunlight, reflecting like a cat's would at night. They had elongated faces that were more bat than feline but with cat-like fangs and ears, and their paws ended in wicked curved claws designed for rending flesh.

The swarm circled above them for a moment, screeching in a way that raised her hair.

"Barrier!" Elise shouted, throwing up a shimmering wall of force just in time to catch the first three Tombats that were diving at her face. They bounced off with frustrated shrieks, wings beating frantically as they wheeled around for another approach. It was a good thing she learnt that in the settlement.

Rem drew her longsword and activated Phantom Step, teleporting ten feet up and to the side to intercept a Tombat that was angling toward the wagon. Her blade connected mid-flight with the creature's body, Mutilate activating automatically on the wounded enemy and dealing devastating damage that nearly cut it in half. It fell to the ground in a spray of blood, twitching but clearly dead.

But there were at least ten more and they were everywhere, diving from different angles, rem was in the air, defenseless and surrounded by them. These weren't mindless beasts; they were hunting as an organized pack with strategy.

Kaisen had jumped down from the wagon, his own sword out and moving in large arcs to catch Tombats as they came within range. He caught one across the wings with a powerful slash, sending it tumbling to the ground where he finished it by stabbing its skull. But another got through his defense, its claws raking down his thigh and opening deep furrows that immediately soaked his pants leg with blood.

"Fuck!" he cursed, backhanding the creature away before it could latch on and do more damage. It screeched and flew back up to join its companions circling above.

Altaria had pulled a quarterstaff from the wagon supplies and was trying to fight, but it was painfully obvious she had zero combat training beyond maybe some basic self-defense drills. She swung wildly at a Tombat diving toward her face, missing completely as the bat weaved, and the thing's claws opened a deep gash across her shoulder before she could react.

She cried out in pain and stumbled backward against the wagon side, nearly dropping her staff. Blood soaked through her robes immediately, the wound was deep enough that Rem could see torn muscle and the white of bone beneath when Altaria's robe shifted.

"Altaria, stay back!" Rem shouted, activating Phantom Step again to appear beside the injured priestess. She ran her sword through the Tombat that had wounded Altaria before it could press its advantage, then positioned herself between the priestess and the rest of the swarm. "You're not trained for this kind of combat!"

"But I can help.." Altaria protested weakly, her face pale from pain and blood loss.

"You'll help by not dying," Rem snapped, then had to focus on three more Tombats diving at them in a coordinated attack. She managed to catch one with her blade, Phantom Step let her dodge the second, but the third raked claws across her forearm before she could block it. Pain flared hot white as she nearly dropped her sword.

Elise was throwing a bunch of ice shards at clusters of Tombats, managing to knock several out of the air at once with well-placed strikes. The ones that hit the ground hard enough were easy prey—Kaisen moved between them with efficiency, crushing skulls and severing necks before they could recover and take flight again.

The timber beast was freaking out properly now, bellowing in distress and trying to pull the wagon away from the danger despite Kaisen having set the brake. Its jade eyes rolled white with panic as Tombats dive-bombed it, attracted by its size and the fact that it couldn't effectively defend itself.

"Protect the beast!" Kaisen called out. "If it bolts we lose the wagon and all our supplies!"

Rem activated Phantom Step again, appearing beside the panicking timber beast and cutting down two Tombats that were latching onto its thick hide with their claws. The creature bellowed again but seemed to calm slightly with her presence.

The fight felt like it lasted forever but probably only took about five minutes. Gradually they whittled down the swarm, Rem's new skills let her pick off stragglers, Elise's quick casts disrupted their coordinated strikes, and Kaisen's raw aggression turned any Tombat that came within sword range into a corpse.

Finally the last few survivors seemed to realize they were losing and broke off the attack, screeching in frustration as they fled back toward their cave to lick their wounds and regroup. The sudden silence after all the screeching was almost deafening.

"Everyone alive?" Kaisen asked, breathing hard and leaning on his sword. Blood was still running freely from the deep gouges in his thigh.

"Mostly," Elise muttered, examining the shallow scratches across her forearm where one Tombat had gotten past They were already starting to swell, apparently Tombat claws carried some kind of irritant. "That was unpleasant."

Rem checked herself quickly. the cuts on her forearm were shallow and already clotting, nothing serious. Her Desire Sense had let her anticipate most attacks before they landed, giving her an edge the others didn't have, hacks les go!!.

But she was breathing hard from the exertion and her muscles were starting to ache from all the rapid Phantom Step teleports. The skill didn't tire her mana but the constant spatial displacement was disorienting.

"Altaria's shoulder is the worst," Rem called out, moving back to where the priestess had slumped against the wagon side. "That wound's deep, I can see bone."

Kaisen limped over, his own injury clearly painful but not immediately life-threatening like a severed artery would be. He knelt beside Altaria and gently pulled her robe aside to examine the wound, his hands careful

"Can you heal this yourself?" he asked quietly.

Altaria tried to raise her left arm to channel healing magic and gasped in pain, her face going even paler. "I can't lift it...the wound's too deep on my dominant side and the pain is interfering with my concentration. Im sorry...."

"Let me bandage it at least," Kaisen said, already pulling medical supplies from one of the wagon bundles. "Stop the bleeding so you can think clearly enough to heal it."

He set to work with practiced efficiency , His hands were steady as he cleaned the wound with water from their barrel, applied healing salve that made Altaria hiss in pain, then wrapped clean bandages tightly enough to compress the wound and slow the bleeding without cutting off circulation.

Rem noticed things she hadn't been paying attention to before. how gentle Kaisen's touch was despite his roughness with her, how he murmured quiet reassurances to Altaria as he worked, how his fingers lingered just slightly longer than strictly necessary when they touched her bare shoulder.... fucking bastard, more importantly, she noticed Altaria's reaction.

The priestess's breathing had changed, becoming shallower and faster, her pupils were dilated as she watched Kaisen work, her face flushed with more than just blood loss. When his fingers brushed against her collarbone while adjusting the bandage, she made a small sound that definitely wasn't pain.

This was going to be easier than Rem had thought. Which somehow made it feel worse, like she was engineering something that would have happened anyway, just accelerating and directing it for her own purposes and means. Using her innocence as a weapon..

"There," Kaisen said finally, tying off the last bandage. "That should hold until you can heal it properly. Try now, the pain should be manageable enough to concentrate."

Altaria nodded and raised her right hand, channeling soft green light with her off-hand. It was clearly more difficult and less efficient than using her dominant hand would be, the magic flowing slower and requiring more concentration, but after a few minutes the wound beneath the bandages had closed enough that she could move without fresh blood seeping through.

She turned her attention to Kaisen next, healing the deep gouges in his thigh with the same focused care he'd shown her. Her hands glowed with gentle green light as she worked, and Rem saw how Kaisen watched her face while she healed him, the bastard was blushing...

By the time Altaria finished healing everyone's wounds, she looked completely exhausted. The combination of her own serious wound, the stress of her first real combat, and the energy drain from channeling that much healing magic had left her pale

"We should make camp early," Elise suggested, wincing as she flexed her arm. The wound was closed but still tender. "Everyone needs proper rest and time for the healing to fully set. Plus I don't want to risk more Tombats finding us if there are other caves around here."

"Agreed," Kaisen said, already scanning the area. "There, see that flat stretch of grass with those rock formations on three sides? Natural shelter from wind and the rocks give us something to put our backs against if more trouble shows up. We'll stop there."

They got the still-nervous timber beast moving again, much slower this time and with everyone alert for signs of more monsters. The creature was spooked but responded to Kaisen's steady handling, gradually calming as they put distance between themselves and the Tombat cave.

The campsite Kaisen had spotted was as good as they were going to find in open terrain, a roughly circular area of flat grass maybe thirty feet across, bounded on three sides by weathered rock formations that rose about ten feet high. 

They pulled the wagon into the center and began the familiar routine of making camp. Bedrolls laid out in a rough circle around where they'd build a fire. Food supplies unpacked for dinner. The timber beast unhitched and tied to a stake where it could graze on the surrounding grass but wouldn't wander off or bolt if something spooked it again.

Altaria helped where she could despite her obvious exhaustion, refusing to just sit and be useless. 

"Rest," Rem said firmly when she caught Altaria nearly dropping a cooking pot. "Sit down before you fall down. We can handle camp setup."

"But I should help-"

"You can help by not collapsing," Rem interrupted, guiding her to one of the bedrolls they'd already laid out. "Sit. That's an order."

Altaria obeyed with visible relief, sinking onto the bedroll and immediately looking more comfortable. Within minutes she'd curled up on her side and her eyes were drifting closed despite the sun not even having set yet.

"Let her sleep," Kaisen said quietly, crouching beside Rem. "Combat takes it out of you the first few times. She did well for someone with no training."

"She could have died," Rem pointed out.

"But she didn't. And next time she'll be more prepared, more aware of how real fights actually work" He paused, then added with a slight smile, "You protected her well. Positioned yourself between her and the swarm without being asked, prioritized keeping her safe over kill counts."

Rem felt an unexpected flush of something like pride at his praise. "She's part of the group now. We protect our own."

"Yes we do." Kaisen patted her head, then stood and went back to setting up the fire pit, leaving Rem sitting beside the sleeping priestess. damnit.

They ate as the sun began setting, painting the grass plains in shades of orange and red that made the landscape look almost otherworldly. The rock formations cast long shadows across their campsite, creating pockets of darkness that would deepen as night fell completely.

Altaria woke about halfway through dinner, drawn from sleep by the smell of food. She ate quickly and hungrily, the energy drain from healing making her ravenous despite having been too exhausted to stay awake earlier.

"Feeling better?" Elise asked with genuine concern.

"Much," Altaria said around a mouthful of bread. "Still sore but the worst is past. Thank you all for protecting me during the fight. I'm sorry I wasn't more useful."

"You kept us alive afterward with your healing," Kaisen pointed out. "That's just as important as fighting. Different roles for different skills. that's how parties survive."

Altaria smiled at that, looking pleased by the validation. The group fell into easy conversation after that, discussing the Tombats and what they'd learned about the creatures' attack patterns, speculating about what other monsters might inhabit this region, making plans for the continued journey north to the capital.

But Rem noticed how Altaria kept glancing at her across the fire. How her breathing would catch slightly when their eyes met, she shifted restlessly on her bedroll like she couldn't get comfortable despite her exhaustion.

The priestess was thinking about tonight. About what would happen after the others went to sleep. About what Rem had promised her.

As twilight deepened into full darkness and stars began appearing in the clear sky above them, Kaisen announced, "I'll take first watch. Wake me in four hours for rotation and someone else can take over."

Elise nodded and crawled into her bedroll, wrapping herself in blankets against the cooling night air. "Don't let anything eat us," she said with a yawn.

"I'll do my best," Kaisen replied with dry amusement.

Rem settled into her own bedroll, but sleep was the furthest thing from her mind. She lay there watching the stars and listening to the crackle of the dying fire and Elise's breathing evening out as she drifted off. Waiting.

Movement caught her eye after maybe twenty minutes. Altaria sitting up slowly, carefully so as not to make noise that would wake Elise. Looking across the small camp toward where Rem lay.

Their eyes met in the firelight.

Rem sat up and nodded toward the rock formations beyond their campsite away from Kaisen's watch position, far enough that they'd have privacy to talk without being overheard.

Altaria stood carefully and walked in that direction, moving quietly despite her nervousness. Rem followed a moment later, noting how Kaisen watched them go but didn't comment or try to stop them.

Once they were far enough from camp, Altaria turned to face Rem. Moonlight caught her copper hair again just like it had two nights ago in the settlement, and her green eyes were wide with nervousness and anticipation.

"I can't stop thinking about it," Altaria said without preamble, the words spilling out like she'd been holding them back all day and couldn't contain them anymore. "About what you did to me that night in your room. How you made me feel things I didn't know were possible. I've been trying to focus on other things... but it's always there in the back of my mind! Your hands on me. Your mouth on mine. How close I was to something incredible before I panicked and ran away like a coward."

"You weren't a coward," Rem said, stepping closer until they were within arm's reach. "You were overwhelmed. There's a difference sweetie"

"I don't want to run this time." Altaria's voice was firm despite the trembling Rem could see in her hands. " I want you to show me what I've been missing."

Rem studied her face in the moonlight, looking for any sign of hesitation or uncertainty that might mean Altaria wasn't truly ready despite her words. But all she saw was determination

"You're absolutely certain?" Rem asked one more time, needing to be sure before they crossed this line. "Once we do this, you can't go back. Your vows will be broken. Your purity gone. Everything the church taught you will be violated. Are you prepared for that?"

"Yes." No hesitation, no second-guessing. Just simple certainty. "I've spent my entire life following rules that kept me caged and isolated . I want to fly instead of staying trapped. I want to feel alive instead of just existing. And I trust you to show me how."

The faith in those words was both humbling and terrifying. Altaria trusted her so completely, had been corrupted so thoroughly, that she'd hand over her innocence without reservation because Rem told her it would feel good. The power in that was truly intoxicating.

"Then wait here," Rem said. "I need to get Kaisen. Like I told you earlier....I can't complete this alone. You need both of us."

Altaria nodded, her face flushing deeper at the reminder of what was about to happen. "I remember. Both of you together. I'm ready?"

Rem walked back toward the camp, her heart beating faster as well. What did that say about who she was becoming?

"It says you're accepting your nature," Aria's voice whispered through the mark. "Stop fighting what you are and embrace it toy, it would be so much fun for you instead of pain..... i got some kinks for you k?"

Rem dismissed the goddess's commentary and approached where Kaisen sat on watch, his sword resting across his knees as he scanned the darkness beyond their firelight.

"We need the pocket dimension," she said quietly. "For privacy."

Kaisen looked up at her, his expression shifting from alert to understanding. "Now? Tonight?"

"She's ready. She asked for it, specifically asked for both of us." Rem kept her voice level despite the complicated emotions churning in her chest. "Can you open it?"

He studied her face for a moment, maybe looking for the same certainty she'd demanded from Altaria. Whatever he saw must have satisfied him because he nodded and stood. "Let me tell Elise so she knows we're not just abandoning watch."

He crouched beside Elise's bedroll and gently shook her shoulder. She came awake instantly, but groggy.

"What's wrong?" she asked, rubbing her eyes

"Nothing's wrong," Kaisen assured her quietly. "But Rem and I need to use the pocket dimension for a while. Can you take watch until we're back?"

Elise's eyes went from Kaisen to Rem... " really you too? " She yawned "Sure sure, fuck all you want... poor me will have to just imagine"

"Can you handle watch or not?" Kaisen asked with exasperated fondness.

"Of course I can handle watch," Elise said, already crawling out of her bedroll and reaching for her weapon. "Go corrupt the innocent priestess. I'll make sure nothing interrupts you"

Rem felt her face flush at Elise's casual description but didn't deny it. she was too fucking hyped, but why make it suddle? bitch..

Kaisen activated his system with a thought, and the shimmering portal to his pocket dimension opened in the air beside them, barely visible in the darkness except for the faint distortion it caused in the starlight.

"Ready?" he asked Rem.

"As I'll ever be," she replied.

They walked together toward where Altaria waited by the rocks. The priestess's eyes widened when she saw the portal shimmer into existence, her expression shifting from nervousness to wonder.

"What is that?" she breathed.

"My personal realm," Kaisen explained. "A pocket dimension that exists outside normal space. No one can see or hear what happens inside, and time moves differently, we can spend hours in there while barely any time passes out here."

"That's..." Altaria struggled for words. "That's incredibly useful!!.... your really using it for what we're about to do??"

"Yes i know, he is a dumb fuck," Rem agreed, offering her hand. "Come on. Trust us?"

Altaria took her hand without hesitation. "I trust you."

The three of them stepped through the portal together, Kaisen last so he could close it behind them. The pocket dimension settled around them. that strange timeless space with its pale blue twilight sky and endless grass stretching in all directions. 

"It's beautiful," Altaria said, turning slowly to take it all in. The wonder on her face was genuine, like a child seeing something magical for the first time. "It feels... peaceful. Safe."

"It is safe," Kaisen assured her, moving to stand beside them. "Nothing and no one can reach us here unless I allow it. This space exists only for us right now."

Altaria turned to face them both, her nervousness returning now that the reality of the situation was settling in. "So what happens now? I've never... I don't know how any of this works."

"Now we go slow," Rem said, stepping closer and reaching up to cup Altaria's face with both hands. The Aphrodisiac Touch activated immediately, sending warmth spreading from her palms into Altaria's skin. "We take our time. We make sure you feel good. And if at any point you want to stop, we wont comply anymore. Understand?"

"I understand," Altaria whispered. 

"We'll see," Rem said, and kissed her.

It was softer than their kisses in Rem's room two nights ago, less desperate and more deliberate. Taking time to explore rather than rushing toward a goal. Rem's lips moved slowly against Altaria's, teaching her the rhythm, showing her how to respond. When Rem's tongue traced Altaria's lower lip asking for entrance, the priestess opened for her immediately, letting Rem slide into her mouth and deepen the kiss.

Altaria made a soft sound of pleasure and her hands came up to grip Rem's shoulders, holding on like she needed something solid to anchor herself.

Kaisen watched for a moment, then stepped closer. His hand settled on Altaria's hip from behind, and she gasped into Rem's mouth at the unexpected contact.

"Is this okay?" Kaisen asked quietly, his voice pitched to be soothing rather than demanding.

Altaria broke the kiss to look back at him over her shoulder. "Yes," she said breathlessly. "I want both of you. Don't hold back."

"We won't hold back," Kaisen promised. "But we will go slow. This is your first time, we're going to make sure it's good."

A part of rem heard that and was a little bitter.... so bitter, damn bastard

Between the two of them, they began undressing Altaria with careful deliberation. Rem worked the buttons and clasps on her robes while Kaisen untied the belt holding them closed. The fabric slipped from her shoulders slowly, revealing her pale skin and simple cotton undergarments beneath.

Altaria shivered despite the comfortable temperature in the pocket dimension, suddenly very aware of how exposed she was. "I've never... no one's ever seen me like this before."

"You're beautiful," Rem said, and meant it. Altaria was beautiful in an understated way, she was slim and graceful with gentle curves and flawless skin, he small but cute breast hidden behind her white bra. she did not have the exaggerated proportions of Elise or the enhanced beauty that Rem's high Charisma had given her, but naturally lovely in a way that suited her.

They kissed again while Rem's hands began exploring the newly exposed skin, tracing the line of Altaria's collarbone, skimming down her ribs, following the curve of her waist. Every touch made Altaria tremble and gasp

Kaisen was working from behind, his larger hands settling on Altaria's hips and thighs, his lips pressing kisses to the back of her neck and across her shoulders. Altaria was trapped between them, surrounded by a dual sensation, overwhelmed in the best way.

"It's too much," she gasped against Rem's mouth. "Both of you at once, i-i can't focus, i don't know-"

"You don't have to focus," Rem assured her, her hands sliding up to cup Altaria's breasts. "You don't have to do anything except feel. Let us take care of you..... trust me its normal at first"

They guided her down to the grass together, laying her out carefully on the soft ground. Rem removed her own clothes first, her tunic shirt and pants coming out before she hesitantly removed her bra and panties. She then helped Kaisen with his until all three of them were naked under the endless twilight sky.

Altaria's eyes went wide when she saw Kaisen's cock for the first time, already half-hard and impressive in size even not fully erect. "That's... that's going to fit inside me?"

"Eventually," Kaisen said with a gentle smile, kneeling beside her. "But first we need to prepare you properly. Make sure you're relaxed and wet enough that it feels good instead of just hurting."

"I'll help," Rem said, settling on Altaria's other side and pressing her own giant breast against the girl. Her mouth found Altaria's neck, kissing and sucking lightly enough to feel good without leaving marks. When she moved lower to Altaria's breasts, the priestess arched up into the contact with a moan.

"Oh gods," Altaria whimpered as Rem's mouth closed around one nipple while her hand found the other. "That's, ahhh, no I've never"

Kaisen mirrored Rem's actions on Altaria's other breast, his mouth and hand working in tandem with Rem's to overwhelm the priestess, Altaria's hands scrambled for purchase, one gripping Rem's hair and the other finding Kaisen's shoulder, holding onto both of them.

Rem's free hand slid down Altaria's stomach, tracing patterns on her skin before dipping lower. When her fingers brushed through the copper curls between Altaria's legs, she was already getting wet.

"You're so wet already," Rem murmured against Altaria's skin. "Your body knows what it wants even if you've never done this before."

Kaisen's hand joined Rem's between Altaria's thighs, his larger fingers gentle as they explored her folds. When he found her entrance and carefully pushed one finger inside, Altaria's whole body went rigid with the foreign sensation.

"Breathe," Rem coached, her own fingers finding Altaria's clit and circling it with careful pressure. "Just breathe through it. Let yourself relax and adjust."

Altaria took shaky gasps of air, forcing herself to relax instead of tensing against the intrusion. Gradually her internal muscles stopped clenching and Kaisen was able to slide his finger deeper, exploring carefully.

"That's perfect," Kaisen praised. "You're doing so well. Ready for another?"

Altaria nodded, not trusting herself to speak. When Kaisen added a second finger alongside the first, she gasped but didn't tense up as badly. The stretch was noticeable but not painful, her body slowly adjusting to being filled.

Rem kept working her clit while Kaisen stretched her with his fingers, the dual stimulation building pleasure even through Altaria's nervousness. Her breathing became ragged, her hips started rocking against their hands seeking more pressure, more friction

"I think... ngh, something's happening! I-I feel strange" Altaria couldn't articulate what she was feeling, her first orgasm building in unfamiliar ways.

"Let it happen," Rem encouraged. "Don't fight it. Just let your body do what it wants."

When Altaria's first orgasm hit, it was with a sharp cry that echoed across the empty realm. Her back arched off the grass, her pussy clenched hard around Kaisen's fingers, and her whole body shook with release. Rem kept circling her clit through the peak, drawing out the sensation until Altaria collapsed back onto the grass gasping.

"Holy shit," Altaria breathed, staring up at the twilight sky with wide eyes. "Was that? did I just-"

"That was an orgasm," Rem confirmed, moving up to kiss her softly. "That's what your pussy can feel if you be a good girl~"

"Can i?..... is it possible to do that again?" Altaria asked with an distant expression

"Many more times," Kaisen assured her, withdrawing his fingers from inside her carefully. "But first we need to take care of the hard part. Are you ready for that?"

Altaria looked down at where Kaisen knelt between her legs, his cock now fully hard and intimidating in size, what was with its size!!. She swallowed nervously but nodded. "I'm ready. It's going to hurt, isn't it?"

"At first, yes," Kaisen admitted honestly. "Breaking your hymen is painful. But the pain fades quickly and then it starts feeling good. I promise we'll go slow and make it as easy as possible."

He positioned himself at her entrance, just the head of his cock pressing against her wet pussy, Altaria's breathing quickened with anxiety and Rem took her hand, squeezing gently.

"Look at me," Rem said. "Focus on me instead of what's happening below. I've got you."

Altaria's eyes locked on Rem's as Kaisen pushed forward slowly, just the tip entering her. Her face scrunched up in discomfort but not outright pain yet. He pushed deeper gradually, encountering the resistance of her intact hymen.

"This is the hard part," he warned. "On three. One... two..."

On three he thrust forward sharply, breaking through with a single motion. Altaria cried out, definitely pain this time, real and sharp as tears leaked from the corners of her eyes. Her hand squeezed Rem's hard enough to hurt.

"Breathe," Rem coached, using her free hand to brush away Altaria's tears. "The worst part's over. I promise it gets better from here."

Kaisen held completely still, fully seated inside her now, letting her adjust to being filled. His own breathing was strained, Altaria was incredibly tight around him, her virgin pussy unused to accommodating something that size.

After a minute that felt like an hour, Altaria's breathing started to even out and some of the pain faded from her expression. "Okay," she whispered. "You can move now. Just... slow."

Kaisen pulled back carefully and pushed in again, establishing a gentle rhythm. Altaria's face gradually shifted from discomfort to confusion to something else as her body began responding

"Oh," she breathed. "Oh that's... different. Not bad different. Good different."

"See?" Rem said, kissing her again. "Your body knows what to do darling. You just had to let it."

Rem wasn't idle while Kaisen worked, she kissed Altaria continuously, her hands roaming over the priestess's body finding sensitive spots and exploiting them. When she leaned down to suck on Altaria's nipple while Kaisen thrust into her, Altaria actually came from that.

 Her hips started rising to meet Kaisen's thrusts, seeking deeper than what the guy already reached, hitting directly in her womb. Her pussy were clenching rhythmically around his cock. 

The sensation of her orgasming around Kaisen's cock must have been intense because his rhythm faltered and he groaned low in his throat.

But he managed not to cum yet, maintaining enough control to keep thrusting through her orgasm and building toward another. They changed positions, Altaria on her hands and knees with Kaisen behind her and Rem lying beneath her so they could kiss while Kaisen fucked her from behind.

From this angle Kaisen could go deeper, his hands gripping Altaria's hips as he thrust into her pussy while admiring her milky white ass, he thrusted with more force now that she'd adjusted to his size. The new angle meant he was hitting different spots inside her, and judging by the sounds Altaria was making it felt like heaven.

"Oh gods oh gods oh GODS!!" Altaria's vocabulary had completely dissolved, reduced to gasping repetition and drool, rem sighed, oh the damn drool.

Rem kissed her through it, swallowing her drool and her cries as the third orgasm hit. This one seemed to trigger something in Kaisen because his rhythm became erratic and then he groaned, burying himself as deep as possible and filling Altaria's womb with his seeds

They collapsed together in a tangle of limbs, all three of them breathing hard and covered in sweat despite the comfortable temperature. Altaria lay between them looking thoroughly dazed, her expression a mixture of wonder and exhaustion.

"I had no idea," she said after catching her breath. "I didn't know it could feel like that. I didn't know my body could do those things."

"Now you know," Rem said, kissing her shoulder gently. "Now you know what you've been missing all this time."

The mark on Rem's back was glowing bright enough to cast white light across all three of them, pulsing in time with her elevated heartbeat. Aria's presence was strong and satisfied, Rem had officially gained a toy.

A notification appeared in Rem's vision:

Rem dismissed the notifications, not wanting to focus on system when she should be present in this moment. Altaria was lying between them looking simultaneously satisfied and uncertain, processing what had just happened and what it meant for who she was now.

"Are you okay?" Rem asked quietly.

"I think so," Altaria said. "Sore. Tired. But... good. Really good actually." She paused, then added with dawning realization, "I'm not a virgin anymore..... My vows are broken."

"Do you regret it?" Kaisen asked.

Altaria considered that seriously for a moment, then shook her head. "No. I don't regret it at all. I feel... free. Like I've been carrying weight I didn't realize was there and suddenly it's gone. Is that wrong?"

"It's not wrong," Rem assured her. "It's you finally being honest about what you wanted instead of what you were told to want."

They lay together for a while longer, letting their breathing return to normal and their heart rates slow. The mark on Rem's back gradually stopped glowing so brightly, fading back to its usual dark purple-black against her skin.

Finally Kaisen sat up. "We should get back before Elise starts to worry. Time moves strangely in here but we've still been gone a while by outside standards."

They dressed slowly, helping Altaria with her robes since she was still shaky on her feet and sore in places she'd never been sore before, atleast it was better than rem's first time. When they stepped back through the portal into the regular world, barely half an hour had passed by the position of the moon.

Elise was sitting by the fire keeping watch, and she looked up with a knowing smirk when they emerged. "Have fun?"

"Shut up," Rem muttered, but there was no real heat in the words.

Altaria's face was bright red with embarrassment . "I'm going to sleep now," she announced. "I'm completely exhausted." and she ran off

She collapsed onto her bedroll and was asleep within seconds, wait, did she clean off the cum in her??

Rem settled into her own bedroll, pulling up her status screen to review the changes:

[STATUS]

Name: Rem

Class: None

Level: 8

LST: 20

Available LP: 6630

Current Quest: ARIA'S FAVORITE - Part 4

Objective: Reach LST 25

Time Remaining: 30 days

Thirty days to gain five more LST points. Given that intense sexual experiences seemed to generate maybe one or two points at most, she'd need either multiple encounters or increasingly extreme situations. The system was making her work harder for each level.

Aria's voice whispered through the mark one last time before Rem drifted toward sleep: "Well done, toy. The innocent priestess thoroughly corrupted, her purity claimed by both of you. Part 4 will push you further—each level becomes harder to achieve, requiring more intense experiences. And remember what I said about LST 20 being game-changing? In a few days you'll understand. Physical changes are coming."

Rem thought about that as sleep pulled her under. Physical changes at LST 20. Aria had mentioned it would take a few days to manifest, that Rem would be "surprised." 

She'd deal with that when it happened. For now she was too exhausted to worry about future transformations.

Rem barely recognized herself compared to who she'd been when first arriving in this world. How much further would she fall before this was over? How much of her original self would remain?

Those were questions for another day. Tonight she just let exhaustion claim her, secure in the knowledge that another quest was complete and another step deeper into corruption had been taken willingly.

The wagon would roll north again tomorrow, carrying three women and one man bound by something divine.
