Regardless of how each dive went, however, Greg would be completely out of it afterward. The toll that each dungeon run would take on him would leave him feeling like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the back of his head. A nasty headache, nausea, lightheadedness, deep fatigue, and so on. These were symptoms that Greg had grown used to experiencing over the past month. Greg had taken to diving into the dungeons only after he was on his bed. That way, when he came out, he would just allow himself to drift off to sleep. "Extend my sincerest apologies to your father," Greg calmly spoke after a while of silence. Insufferable as the girl may be, her father was still the Town-head, there was no need to antagonize the man unnecessarily. His family was still part of the town, and Greg didn't wish to complicate their lives by making enemies left, right, and center. If a simple apology is all it takes to avoid future troubles, then Greg was more than happy to oblige. "I've been completely

"I AM NOT MARRYING THAT FREAK!" these were the last words that Shalia shouted before running out of the room in tears. Nalia calmly watched her daughter's escape before turning to her spouse. The bear of a man was fuming. From the bulging vein in his temple and the way his fingers kept clenching and unclenching, it was clear that the issue wasn't done with, not by a long shot. The question of her daughter marrying the strange young boy they'd visited a month earlier was one that she herself wasn't sure how to feel about. On the one hand, she could understand her daughter's reticence. What young girl doesn't dream of falling in love with a dashing prince? To be told that they should marry a disfigured commoner would cause many a girl to balk at the idea if not outright rebel. As such, she could sympathize with her daughter. On the other hand, however, she knew why her husband was trying to set up this marriage between Shalia and Roka. One doesn't remain in power for as long as her h

The man eyed Greg with a critical eye for a few long moments. Greg could tell that he was trying to make him squirm and perhaps reveal anything he might have been hiding. The effect, however, was ruined by the fact that the man couldn't keep from casting leering glances in Olivia's direction every few seconds. "I'll escort you up to the house," The man finally asserted, acting as if Greg was some sort of security risk. Greg knew that if he'd been on his own, the man wouldn't have bothered. The only reason he wished to escort them was because he wished to ogle Olivia even more. Greg didn't mind. With a smile, he and Olivia moved past the guard and started toward the Town-head's house. Greg noted the diverse reactions he got from the three hosts standing by the door. From the town head, there was a look of surprise as he took in the young beauty that Greg had brought to the dinner. This was followed by a scowl as if Greg had somehow thrown a wrench into some plan he was hatching. The m

Calling the Town-head out so plainly might have been considered rude, but from the look on the Town-head's face, it was clear that Olivia was right on the mark with her assessment. A fact that left the man unsure how to respond. "Why don't we head inside," The Town-head's wife intervened at this point. "As beautiful as the night is, it's getting a bit chilly and the food is getting cold," She added before turning around and looping her arm around her husband's and walking forward. Shalia glared at the two of them for a second longer before turning around and walking after her parents with her nose high in the air. 'Interesting,' Greg heard Olivia's voice ring out in his head, her eyes fixed on the two women walking before them. 'What's up?' Greg inquired likewise mentally. "That woman," Olivia answered, nodding towards the Town-head's wife. "She has the bloodline of a nymph," She revealed. It was a good thing that the three before them had their backs to him as Greg wouldn't h
Chapter 144
There was a bit of silence as Greg digested all the information he'd just received, trying to parse it out and make sense of it all. In the end, a weak smile crossed his lips as he mentally spoke. "So, I'm guessing that it wasn't just the title items to blame for how quickly she was turned on by me," Greg stated in a self-deprecating tone as he remembered his first encounter with the woman. 'I didn't think you'd work it out so quickly,' Olivia replied through their link, sounding amused. 'While the title items you had on helped the process along, the nymph bloodline by nature draws her to the strongest males around her that she can seduce without compromising her safety. Like it or not, as a student to a seventh-tier mage you are a very enticing target in her eyes. Not only are you growing stronger with each day of your training, but through your connection to the healer. You command a lot of authority in the town. Her bloodline will irresistibly draw her to you whether she likes it

WELCOME BACK TO THE BOOK 2 OF "LUSTBOUND" DON'T FORGET TO DROP A REVIEW ON THE BOOK. That sly bastard! This was the thought that crossed Greg's mind about the Town-head, when he woke up the next morning to find Shalia standing outside the door to his home. The man had cleverly found a way to keep his daughter attached to Greg for the next three months or so of summer. His thinking was probably that, a boy and girl forced to hang around each other for that long was bound to spark something between them. And even if at worst it didn't, they would at the very least learn to get along, perhaps even become friends. Either way, the man had, in one move, gotten past any objections Greg might have made. Both as Town-head and as a father to Shalia, he had every right to punish her. And since all he had asked was that she become a servant, there was no objection to be raised since it didn't cross any bounds of propriety. As far as he was concerned, all he had said was that she'd become a serv

The arrangement he'd just set up was, one part, a way to get rid of her for most of the day and one part an experiment. Seeing as Greg spent most of his day learning under the healer, he didn't need her hanging around the two of them. Not only because the healer had her own secrets to keep but also because Greg would be stymied in his attempts to seduce the healer, seeing as she had an image to uphold. The experimental part of this arrangement had to do with his innate title AROUSING. Greg never wore any of his title items whenever he went to see the healer. The only item he wore other than his clothes was the wooden mask that the town carpenter had made for him. And while the thing hid most of the damage, it didn't hide the fact that he was disfigured. Without any of the title items to build on the effect of the AROUSING title, he wanted to see how long it would take for the title to work. How long it would take to break through the will of someone who not only thought herself abov

It took every ounce of will that Greg could muster to keep the shock from showing on his face when he read the last feat of lust. For a few seconds, it felt like the gears in his head had rusted over and Greg could no longer think. But while his higher head was lagging, unsure what to make of this news, his lower head was much more honest as Greg could feel the blood rushing to below his belt. The Town-head's wife had his child growing in her belly and going by how hard his dick felt at that moment, the thought turned him on to no end. It was a lucky thing that Greg had chosen to wear the SEXUAL INTENT pants that he bought the day before, otherwise, he'd be pitching a monster tent right about now. Did he have a breeding kink? Or was it the fact that the one he impregnated was someone else's wife? Some small part of Greg couldn't help but wonder at the question. The larger part of him, however, wasn't willing to open that can of worms. A part of him knew that what he'd done was wrong
Chapter 148
Understanding dawned on Greg as he remembered the fact that his soul bow and the title AROUSING, had been bought from the system because Greg didn't pick them directly. While the system would give him one free pick out of a list of rewards, Greg could still get the other rewards by buying them. 'Wait, but won't it be like the last time?' Greg found himself asking through their link. 'Won't lust points be among the possible rewards?' He clarified his query. 'It may very well be,' Olivia replied, passing a shrug through their mental connection. 'But I don't have any control or foreknowledge of what the system might choose to give you as possible rewards. However, there is no harm in being prepared. That way if lust points are among the presented rewards, you get to keep more of your earned points. And if not, you're not caught flatfooted and can still get the other rewards. On the other hand, if you go in with no lust points, banking on the probability of getting lust points as one of

The next layer of runes in the sigil would take the purification of the mana a step further by removing any aspects that the particular mage may have inculcated into his understanding of magic. As the healer had said, one's aspects affected the very mana they produced and had the potential to affect the one on the receiving end of the mana if unfiltered. These unfiltered aspects may hinder, alter or even taint the formation of aspects for the new prospective mage in ways that were as yet unknown in the present. As such, this layer was meant to ensure that no aspects from the one supplying the mana would affect the one receiving it. The third layer of the sigil could best be described as a de-concentrator. While she was a seventh-tier mage, at present the healer's mana pathways could only support a mana concentration of up to the third tier, and so that is what she produced. As a mundane human being, however, Greg's body couldn't handle that level of mana. Heck, even tier-one mana wou
