Chapter 15

Rayner left their tent before Axel woke, leaving him alone. Axel knew he should go and see Colin but he had something else in mind. He would pay a visit to a whore. He told Mari as much when he saw her on the way to that part of the camp. She was just coming back from her own whoring.

She gave him a withering glare and stomped off saying nothing as to why she was upset. Was she off all people judging him? Well, he wouldn’t be put off.

On his way, he ran into Roddrick. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m a corpseeater, not exactly relationship material. I visit the welcoming arms of prostitutes to relieve my loneliness.”

“Oh, that sucks. About the discrimination I mean.”

Roddrick simply shrugged. “People’s choices in partner is a thing I cannot control. No use in crying about it. What brings you here? You’re a handsome lad. You should have no trouble finding a willing girl.”

Since this man was their sensei, he took this opportunity to ask him a question that had bugged him since coming to this world. “Recently my sex drive has been off. I think it has something to do with my mana or class.” Axel could not tell him that his libido issues may be due to his traveling through worlds.

“A not unheard-of issue. I have tasted your mana and you are in remarkable health for your age. Do these issues extend to excitement or performance?”

It was then Axel remembered they were standing at the busy pathway of the camp. In order to get some privacy, Axel led Roddrick to a wooden structure he hoped wasn’t an outhouse.

Taking another look around and with his voice lower, Axel explained. “I can get it up if that’s what you are asking. I just don’t want to do anything when I do.”

“Oh!”

“It’s weird I know.”

“This is in great contrast to Rayner who seems to be very active.”

“When did he tell you that?”

“He didn’t. I tasted his mana as well. There is no possibility someone that lusty had not sated it or else they would burst.”

The corpseeater’s ability to analyze mana made Axel wonder if the blue man already had suspicions to their origins. If he did, he said nothing of it.

“So, any idea what’s wrong with me?”

“Like I said, nothing is wrong with you. Have you ever been in a serious relationship?”

“I’m not a virgin.”

“I know. What I mean is have you ever loved a girl ... or a man.”

“No and no.”

“That may be the issue.”

“Bullshit, I’m not saving myself for marriage or some nonsense like that.”

“Here is what I think, Axel. Your life and death experiences as a worshiper have helped you focus on what is important—what is worth your time and what isn’t. It appears casual sex is one of those acts you have deemed unimportant.”

“I like meaningless sex. It’s the best kind.”

“You used to. Not anymore. Subconsciously, there has been a change in your sexual perception.”

Axel gaped, distraught. “What do I do about it?”

“Courting a lady would be the first step.”

“Dating.”

“If that means going out with a girl, getting to know her, and her getting to know you, then yes. You should date.”

In Axel’s world dating had gone out of fashion. Too many complications.

Now everyone put their info into various social media apps and waited for a match. An algorithm would predict their texts based on messaging history and would communicate with a match. The algorithm-generated texts would be read later and if both parties agreed, a hookup would take place.

Very efficient. Very boring.

Grace had mentioned he may want natural relationships, too. Axel had brushed her off. It seems she was correct and that horrified him.

“You look like you’ve just seen the innards of a ghost,” Roddrick said.

Axel snapped out of his daze. “Thanks for the advice. I don’t like what I’m hearing, but still, thanks.”

“Good advice often causes such reactions. Is there anything else you would like to ask me?”

“Mari became upset when I told her where I was going. If you don’t know, she’s a whore.”

“Oh, my inexperienced boy, she’s jealous.”

“She likes me?”

“No. She’s professionally jealous. There she is, a female and prostitute of fine health, and you go off and seek comfort elsewhere. You might as well call her homely.”

“That’s not why she is with us.”

“I know she is acting as an informant and guide for you two, but that changes nothing. She’d rather you sleep with her than some stranger.”

“God women are strange.”

“I assure you they say the same about men.”

Letting out a sigh, Axel thanked Roddrick and left in the other direction to see Mari.

He found her at their tents, messing up his stuff. Caught red-handed, she raised her chin, legs spread defiantly.

“Is this what you do when you’re mad? Beat up sleeping bags?”

“Is that what this thing is called? It looked like a comfy coffin.”

“Roddrick informed me going to see another whore may have insulted you. From the mess you have made of my belongings I assume he is correct.”

“He is.”

“How can I fix this?”

At his words, Mari grinned. “Sit.” She pointed to a chair left untouched by her venting.

Axel did as instructed and plopped his behind on the chair, not knowing where this was going.

Still smiling, Mari got to her knees before him and placed warm hands on his thighs. Now he knew where this was going and he had no objection.

While Mari wasn’t an especially beautiful girl, she was cute, and any girl that did what Axel thought Mari was going to do was a queen in his eyes.

Mari started massaging his inner thighs, lingering closer and closer to his crotch as she did so. His legs shook in anticipation but he wouldn’t beg, choosing to relax and let her lead.

Done with her massage, Mari unbuckled his pants and pulled down the zipper. His cock already erect, it strained against his boxers and the head poked out to greet her. Putting pressure on his shaft through the boxers with her hand, her tongue licked the exposed head lightly.

It sent another shudder down his legs and he waited for her to remove him fully. Yet she continued licking him until his precum leaked and soaked his boxers. Her hands massaged his balls that strained against the cloth.

Why was she teasing him like this?

Then it hit him. This was her revenge for passing her over. She would continue this until she had her restitution.

But he’d had enough when she suckled the head without using her tongue. Frustrated, he pulled down his boxers off, took her by the back of her head and pressed her face to his cock.

Still, she refused him entrance to her undoubtedly warm and experienced mouth. She shook her head defiantly, a grin still on her face. He poked at her lips but she pursed them tightly in defense.

Growling, he gave in. “Suck it ... please.”

Giving an open smile at her victory, Mari opened her mouth and swallowed him, taking him inch by inch until her nose nestled into the base of his crotch.

“Good God!” he moaned.

Axel wasn’t bragging when he said he had a long cock. It caused him nothing but trouble.

Turns out bigger is not always better when it takes thirty minutes just to get a girl wet enough to take half of him inside her. He was lucky if a girl bothered trying to take his shaft down her throat.

Mari took all of him in one go. It was heavenly.

Wanting it to last longer he held her there. Trying not to grip her hair too hard, he relaxed his grip.

But then she took his hand in hers and urged him to continue. Now that she’d gotten her apology, Mari allowed Axel to take the lead.

And lead he did. Permission granted, he thrust in earnest into her throat. pumping until he felt the familiar tightening of his balls. Not once did she gag or signal for him to slow down. That turned him on more than anything.

Then she started humming. He groaned, releasing in her mouth. She took audible gulps of his release until he finished.

Removing her head from his crotch she looked up to him and blew a wet kiss.

“Think about that next time you pass me over like some street whore,” Mari said.

Axel could only nod as he slumped back into the seat.

Axel’s sex act with Mari completed, he went about the day’s real business. He needed to find Colin and make things good with him. Trouble was, he had no idea where the man stayed at the camp. Fortunately, Colin was where they first met, at the fighting stadium watching a match.

Axel took a place beside him. “These matches any good?”

“No, but it’s something to do when not exploring a dungeon.”

“Sorry about running off like that. Events kinda got away from us.”

Colin waved him off. “Haro told me the corpseeater could be brisk. Besides, I suppose you are here to give me a gift as an apology.”

“Yes, I am.” Axel took out three orbs.

“Pretty balls. What are they for?”

“I put my mana into it and the items inside come out or the effect of the item activates.”

Colin’s eyes widened. “Show me.”

Axel let a little of his mana flow into the orb and a moss carpet appeared, then activated. Its tendrils reaching toward Colin.

“I thought you were having a go at me.”

“As you can see, I am not. So, are we good?”

“If you mean that I don’t hold a grudge, then no I don’t.”

“Here,” Axel handed Colin notes on the monsters they encountered. “The monsters aren’t that hard to defeat but they can be annoying.”
