"Finally, Nii-san! We're out together after you've been avoiding me for so long," Evelyn said in a bubbly, teasing voice.
Kaelen walked alongside his step-sister, Evelyn, who skipped cheerfully as he carried several shopping bags in one hand.
Her arm was clutched tightly around his.
She wore a short sundress that fluttered with every step and had long pink hair that bounced each time she turned to him, her bright smile flashing.
She squeezed his arm tighter, pressing her body a little closer than necessary.
Kaelen let out a long sigh, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand.
"Maybe you shouldn't have masturbated with my shirt... that too in my own room. Mom was furious when she found out, what do you expect me to do?"
She pouted, pursing her lips in a cute little frown as she stopped walking and turned fully to face him.
"Oh, come on! I couldn't help it. You came back from your workout all sweaty. And with how that damp shirt was sticking to your muscles. You were just so.... sexy, Nii-san. I just... Couldn't control myself."
He shook his head, trying to look stern but failing as a small smile tugged at his lips.
"Restrain yourself, Evelyn. We just can't keep doing this."
Tilting her head, she crossed her arms under her chest, pushing her breasts up a bit.
"And. What's the problem? We're step-siblings, so it's not like it's wrong. Or is it that Nii-san no longer finds me attractive and appealing anymore?"
Kaelen paused, his eyes softening as he looked at her.
She was beautiful, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Inspite of being a mere highschooler, she had a body that would even put models to shame.
"No, that's not it. As a matter of fact, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever come across. But it's just that I don't want Dad to suffer because of us. He's been through a lot already, especially because of me."
Evelyn humphed, she puffing out her cheeks in mock anger.
"Fine, then. I'll look for a wife for you who doesn't mind sharing you with me," She said with her eyes gleaming in hunger.
"That way, we can all be together without causing problems for our parents. And honestly, no girl could handle your vitality without my help anyway."
She looked down at his pants and bit her lower lip sensually, making every passerby blush.
He shifted uncomfortably, adjusting the bags in his hand.
"Good luck finding a girl like that," he muttered, half-joking and half-serious.
They continued walking, passing a variety of stores.
Evelyn laughed at something in a store window, pointing out a cute necklace.
"Nii-san, what do you think? Would it look good on me?"
A panicked voices suddenly echoed through the mall before he could answer.
People started shouting, their feet pounding as they ran in different directions. Evelyn froze, her hand tightening on his arm.
"Ehh.What happened? Why is everyone freaking out?"
Kaelen looked around, his heart starting to race.
Then he saw it-a man in a dark hoodie standing in the middle of the open area, holding a bag.
The man laughed maniacally, throwing the bag up high into the air.
"Die, you all! Hahaha!
Time seemed to slow.
The bag exploded in a blinding flash.
The blast ripped through the air.
Kaelen grasped Evelyn, pulling her close, but it was too late.
The world went white, then black.
That was how Kaelen died.
It is the kind of disaster that could happen any day, yet it is not predictable when it will occur.
.
.
.
.
Kaelen's eyes fluttered open, his body heavy yet somehow strangely light at the same time.
He lay on the softest bed one could imagine, something like clouds wrapped in silk.
He blinked, realizing he was completely naked, the sheets soothingly cool against his skin.
He sat up slowly and looked around in confusion.
This wasn't the mall. It wasn't anywhere he recognized.
The room, if it could rightly be called a room, was absolutely ethereal.
A bed inside a garden, front of him was a lake covered in a soft mist, it's water shimmering in soft moonlight.
Tall glowing pillars surrounded the area, extending right up to the sky itself.
"Where. am I?" he muttered to himself, his voice barely coming out.
Then a figure from the lake emerged.
She was beyond beautiful with fluid and elegant movements.
Long pink hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, glistening with the dampness of the water.
Her body was in its perfection: full, large breasts swaying slightly as she emerged, wide hips that screamed of mature allure, and smoothly flawless skin.
Naked and unashamed.
Her form was glowing with a divine light.
Kaelen was mesmerized, his mouth slowly drying as he stared.
She stepped out of the water, the fog parting around her like a curtain, revealing her in full glory.
Water droplets trailed down her body, rolling over her erect nipples down to her bare, hairless pussy, which looked so inviting and perfect it made his pulse quicken.
"Oh~ You're up, dear~", the woman said in a melodious voice that sent shivers down his spine.
It was like an inviting music to his ears.
She approached him at the bed, swaying her hips as she sat down beside him.
Up close, her scent was intoxicating, sweet and that of a strawberry scent, Oddly same kind as Evelyn's.
Kaelen tried to cover himself with the sheet, but his eyes kept drifting to her curves.
"Who... who are you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
She giggled, a light tinkling sound, and leaned in closer.
One hand reached out to touch his cheek gently, her fingers were soft and warm, like a baby's.
"I'm Lilith, the Goddess of Lust and Desire. And the mother of Demons. You must be wondering where you are now, right? Well... This is my realm."
He swallowed hard as the heat from her body reached him.
Her breasts were so close, the water still dripping from them.
"What happened? The mall. And that explosion."
Elysia nodded; her pink eyes shone with sympathy.
"You died, dear~, a terrorist attack. That man had a bomb in his bag and you were caught in the blast."
"What?" Kaelen's mind reeled.
He remembered the flash, the pain, Evelyn's scream.
"No, that can't be."
She put her hand on his shoulder.
"Well... I saw your potential, Kaelen. An unexplored strength with such desire in your heart. So I took your soul from the Goddess of Earth before it could pass on. And now You're mine."
"What..? Why me?" he asked, pulling back slightly, though his eyes betrayed him, looking down at her exposed kitty again.
It was simply too much for him to resist.
Lilith smiled, leaning toward him a little more, her breasts brushing his arm.
"Interesting question. You are smart so I'll get starlight to the point. I want you to win for me in the Holy Grail War and spread my faith across the land of humans."
Kaelen blinked, confusion washing over him.
"Huh? Grail? Land? What are you talking about?
She laughed softly, her hand trailing down to his chest.
"Oh, I forgot the main thing. You're not on Earth anymore, dear~. This is the world from the novel you once read."
"Novel...? What Novel?"
"The Fate's Chosen"
His eyes widened.
He remembered that book all too well.
It was a story of fantasy, about gods, wars, and this magical grail that gave ultimate power.
"But... in the novel, the Grail was destroyed at the end."
Lilith laughed, her finger tracing a circle on his chest.
"Silly boy. What happened in that novel was no more than a fragmented simulation. This is reality now --the true world where the Grail War rages on."
Kaelen shook his head, trying to process it all.
"And? Why should I accept this? What's in it for me?"
She cocked her head; her face became a mask of playful seriousness.
"You're being slow today, aren't you? You weren't the only one who died, Kaelen. Your little sister Evelyn died with you."
His eyes widened in horror, his heart pounding. "Huh...Evelyn?"
Lilith nodded gently.
"But Worry not. As my apostle, you will get three wishes. I will grant them so long as they are not totally unreasonable."
"Then... can you revive Evelyn? Just like you did for me?"
She smiled warmly and her thumb stroked his cheek.
"Of course. I expected something like that. I'll speak with the Earth Goddess and ask for Evelyn's soul. She'll be brought back, safe and sound."
Kaelen let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He felt a huge weight had been lifted.
"Thank you."
Lilith leaned back a bit, still fully exposed.
"No worries In the end it's one of your Three wishes that I'm complied to fill."
"So.what happens after I win the Grail for you?
"Well~ Apostles are in a permanent bond with their gods. I will grant you everything —money, power, women. and even myself."
Her words hung in the air. With a stirring in his body, Kaelen focussed his gaze on her.
"Yourself? You mean... She giggled again, shifting closer so that her thigh pressed against his.
"Yes, dear~. If you wish it, I'll be yours... in both Body and soul. But first you have to fight the other gods' chosen ones and win."
