Transmigrated with my corruption system-Chapter 16: A New Dawn [I]

Sparse rays of sunlight filtered across the dimly lit room, illuminating a green-robed youth sitting at the far edge.

His eyes fluttered faintly before snapping open, crimson pupils coming to light.

"It’s morning already?" Ulric breathed, slowly rising to his feet. He barely felt the time slip by. His body even more so, not a trace of fatigue clinging to his frame.

If he had tried this before he awakened, his body would be sore all over. But now he felt nothing, just refreshed.

Amazing, he thought, slowly walking to the window. He stood there for a moment, bathing in the golden rays, his eyes trailing into the distance.

"It’s beautiful." The view was much better than in his previous shack. He took a moment to take it all in, relishing it as he smiled faintly.

He could get used to being the young lord.

Tilting his head, his eyes fell on the two girls snugly sleeping on the bed, slowly stirring awake as he muttered softly,

"A new day looms ahead."

Their frames lay exposed as he took in the sight.

As his words drifted to them, soft groans echoed as they slowly woke up, muddle-headed and fuzzy. Rubbing her eyes, Amber stretched slightly, the events of last night flashing through her mind.

The thoughts jolted her fully awake, a smile tracing across her lips. As clarity returned, her gaze landed on Ulric just as he turned, their eyes locking.

She froze for a moment, her mouth parting slightly as she gawked. Lyra, now fully awake, was no better as they both stared blankly at him.

A few seconds passed before Amber regained her composure. Sliding off the bed, she walked up to Ulric, slowly circling him before stopping in front of him as she found her voice.

"T-this... how... did you grow more handsome just by sleeping?" she asked, her face scrunched in wonder. How else could she explain it?

She remembered the first time a transformation like this had occurred, she had been with him then too. Had it happened again?

Whatever the case, the change was inexplicable. Everything about him drew her in. A fiery glint flashed across her eyes, giving her the sense that she would do anything for the figure before her.

But she didn’t dwell on it. Ever since their first night together, that feeling had already been rooted deep inside her. Now it was simply magnified.

Her thoughts were cut short as a tingling sensation flared across her crotch. Lowering her hand, a bewildered look crossed her face as she saw her fluids soaking her fingers.

His presence alone was evoking all of this.

Her thighs clamped together as her face flushed. The more she looked at him, the harder it became to suppress the urge to jump straight at him.

Breathing softly, Lyra broke out of her daze. Her eyes trailed down to her body as a faint blush spread across her face.

The events of last night made her blood race. It had been far better than she expected. Her pussy felt sore, but the embers of that electric sensation still lingered, making her crave more. And now, as she stared at him, she couldn’t suppress those thoughts.

Hurriedly stepping off the bed, she stood beside Amber, a flustered look on her face. She couldn’t be left out.

Staring down at the two girls, Ulric smiled wryly. It seemed he might have underestimated the change his enhanced charm had brought about, laced with his Seed of Corruption skill.

But it couldn’t be helped. Given everything his system was based on, it wasn’t far-fetched that his physique was forged to evoke such reactions.

All of this, combined with the look in their eyes, nearly gave him the urge to devour them for another round of corruption-point farming. But he suppressed it, dismissing them to wash up as he muttered,

"The dungeon trials..."

He didn’t get to finish as Amber cut him off, repeating the words under her breath as the light in her eyes dimmed.

How could she have forgotten? she chided herself, her fists slowly clenching. Today was the day they would awaken their classes and begin their journey toward power.

Given his talent, she was certain his awakening would go smoothly. And the gulf between them would only grow wider. Even though he had reassured her before, she couldn’t help lowering her head. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

An S-rank and an F-rank were worlds apart. She was fated to fade into obscurity.

Before she could sink further into her thoughts, she felt a hand settle on her shoulder, lifting her head to meet his eyes.

"Don’t think too much about it. I’ll find a way to make you stronger so you can tag along next time," Ulric murmured, staring into her brown eyes.

He reckoned if he evolved the skill Dark Lord’s Conquest, it would eventually yield something greater. He couldn’t wait to wipe that pitiful expression off her face.

"Really?" Amber squealed. If it had been anyone else, she would have dismissed the claim, but something about him made his words carry weight.

But that didn’t matter much to her. As long as she could stay close to him, she would be happy.

Seeing the color rush back to her face, the smile on his widened as he flicked her forehead lightly.

"Now off you go."

Lyra walked off obediently, Amber following behind. Watching their retreating figures, Ulric sighed quietly before turning back to the window, staring at the horizon.

A whole world lay out there, waiting to be explored. This would be the first step.

A few minutes passed, time slipping away as he heard footsteps echo behind him.

Turning, his eyes locked onto Lyra’s frame, now draped in a familiar blue robe that softly highlighted her curves.

Walking toward him, she melted into his embrace, resting her head against his chest as she held him gently, her voice following.

"I won’t leave your side."

And he didn’t doubt it for a moment. Just as he was about to grab her and leave, he watched her turn to Amber and murmur softly,

"Don’t worry... I’ll protect him."

The words nearly made him trip, his lips twitching rapidly. Who was supposed to protect whom?

His arm slid around her waist, whisking her away as his teasing voice echoed,

"Ooh, I already feel safe."

Her face flushed at his words as she processed the absurdity of them, but Ulric didn’t let her linger as he dragged her along.

The dungeon trials awaited, and he couldn’t wait any longer.
