My Life In A Fantasy, Women-Dominated World-Chapter 67: Lip Burn

What I did was no magic science, or even a crazy piece of art that only I could do.

But... it was something I wasn’t supposed to be able to do.

I channeled raw mana through my body... well, it was always channeling passively, so it wasn’t the right way to call it.

The better wording would be, I activated the mana within my veins.

Something that isn’t advised to be done as it was uncontrolled. Dangerous. Risky.

Right in front of Eva’s eyes, my hand began to glow in a faint blue light, shimmering as the air warped around it.

I felt pure energy course through my fist, making me feel as if I could punch the wall and the wall would shatter. That I could destroy anything or anyone I wanted to.

Of course, that was just my imagination caused by the unnatural feeling of holding so much energy for the first time.

[ New Self-Skill had been learnt. ]

A notification popped in front of my eyes, but I ignored it, looking at Eva with a slight smile as I spoke.

"Leap of faith for a man that you cannot understand?"

Her breath hitched audibly, her eyes refocusing onto mine. She was shaken, clearly so.

Her world view was being altered right in front of her eyes, as she saw a MAN channeling and activating the mana.

"T-That... That’s aura... how... you barely reached the AMC stage and... how’s your aura so controlled... how can you focus it on a single organ already..." She mumbled like a broken tape, taking long pauses and stammering with unfocused eyes.

She couldn’t understand how I did it, and well, that was my intention.

It was a known fact that a man or woman, they won’t just settle for any offer they get, especially when they believe that they could do better.

It was the same for Eva, she strictly believed that she could find a boyfriend for herself if she wanted to.

She just wasn’t interested in it. And her refusal to my ’confession’ was only proof of that.

In her eyes I was interesting, a man who used skills at higher potency, who acted a little more composed than the rest... all the normal stuff.

The stuff that was rare, but believable.

But channeling mana so fluently? It wasn’t in the realms of normal people, at least that’s what I understood from this world.

Eva didn’t speak again for a long while, staring at me and Claire alternatively.

I didn’t force her to speak either, simply deactivating the mana as my palm vibrated nonstop, twitching as if refusing to let go of the energy I had provided it.

It felt uncomfortable, as if countless bugs were crawling under my skin, but I didn’t let it show.

Keeping up the smile, watching Eva while smoking the joint.

In my opinion, it was better for me the higher I was. The shit I was discussing wasn’t something I could discuss completely sober.

After a few puffs, Eva still didn’t break the silence. She appeared in deep thought, staring ahead of herself blankly.

I passed her the joint, waving it in front of her eyes to catch her attention.

She took it out of my fingers with a nod, her expressions impassive and blank.

After some more beats passed, she finally breathed out a huge cloud of smoke, drooping her head lower, "I can’t understand. I am confused." she murmured.

"About?"

"Everything." Eva complained, "This is a big decision!"

"It is, indeed." I nodded.

"Why are you acting so casually?" She grumbled, "Do you think I will take the responsibility for it like others? I won’t! Your mistakes are yours, and if this is a prank then stop it."

"It’s not a prank." I resisted the urge to facepalm, but then again, her doubts were valid.

It wasn’t normal that a dude suddenly asks you, wanna be in my harem?

She was shocked, confused, high, and lost. All at the same time.

"Haahhhh..." Eva breathed out another cloud, this time bigger and denser. As if she was trying to exhale all her problems.

She went to take another drag, but the roach burned against her lip, the stuff was all burned off, and all that remained was a very bad aftertaste.

She coughed furiously, flicking the roach to another corner of the room as she doubled over.

I quickly moved my lethargic body, stroking her back as Eva coughed, rubbing her lip that appeared slightly red.

I would like to blame my state of mind, since to me, the reddened, pink lips of her looked strangely appealing.

"Calm down, breathe." I slapped her on the back, my palm stroking against her thin bra for a minor second as Eva’s eyes got teary.

With one of her thumb, she was trying to rub off the reddened spot on her lip, which looked like blood might spill over, considering how red it was.

I held her arm, stopping her from making the burn even worse as Eva struggled slightly in pain.

"Calm down, Eva." I breathed, trying to sound as consoling and gentle as possible as I slowly kept my palm against her chin.

An electric sensation zapped through my nerves when my skin touched hers.

It felt soft, so delicate and unblemished as if I was doing something unholy just by pressing my hand on it.

Eva’s breath hitched, her huge breasts rising and falling as she clenched her fists to not shove me away or move away.

Her thin, cat-like eyes settled onto mine, looking at me with tears...

My hand stayed on her chin longer than I intended to, before I slowly stroked my thumb across her cheek and then her lips. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Eva pressed her thighs together, mouth parting as she breathed erratically, still staring into my eyes without any word.

My thumb grazed over her pink lips, parting them even more to reveal her cute little pink tongue that rested in her mouth, and the perfect row of glistering teeth.

"Ahnn," Eva mumbled, acting like a little child who was told to open her mouth while sitting in front of the dentist for the first time.

I leaned closer, blowing cold breath on her reddened lip as Eva’s lips puckered up in response.

"Feeling better?"
