AWAKENED ADRIAN LACANSTER

CHAPTER 5- Terra's Will

Immediately, a massive flood of energy and information slammed into Adrian’s mind.

Just when he thought his head would explode, a cooling stream of energy flowed gently from his forehead, slowly spreading through his brain, limbs, organs, blood, muscles, and bones ...

... until his entire body was bathed in a miraculous, soothing coolness.

To Adrian, it was like stepping into a magical dream.

Even more bewildering, he felt no pain anymore—

Not from the bone marrow donation that had tortured him so far, nor the injuries Lucian and Isabelle left behind.

Instead, a strange, soothing numbness spread through him.

What’s happening ...?

He struggled to open his eyes or move his fingers, but his body wouldn’t respond.

As the pressure faded, Adrian found his mind was flooded with strange knowledge: legendary energy techniques, powerful martial arts, miraculous medical skills, cursecraft, prophecy, alchemy ...

All recorded in a book titled Inheritance of Terra's Will, now etched into his soul.

He realized with a start—

He had come across a once-in-a-lifetime miracle!

But before he could even rejoice, another violent force erupted from his abdomen, surging through his veins like a tidal wave.

The pressure was unbearable—earth-shattering, soul-crushing.

Adrian shivered violently.

So... opportunity comes with deadly risks!

Just as he thought he was about to be consumed by this violent energy, a sweet, intoxicating fragrance filled his nostrils.

Then, cold, tender lips brushed against his.

A smooth, naked body pressed intimately against him.

Who—?!

Before his mind could work out, a cool tongue entwined with his.

Plump, soft breasts crushed against his burning chest, their coolness seeping into his fevered flesh.

Though he couldn't move, couldn't open his eyes, Adrian’s body responded instinctively, greedily matching the woman’s urgent rhythm.

The room heated up. Passionate moans filled the space.

Slowly, no matter who this woman was, her cooling aura calmed the fire within him.

Finally, with one last, powerful release, Adrian’s mind went blank and he passed out.

He knew... the danger... had passed.

Adrian felt a slight ache at the back of his skull as his consciousness slowly came back.

For a moment, it felt like he had just woken up from a long, endless dream.

His fingers twitched, brushing against soft skin and elastic flesh instead of the hard solid floor.

That feeling ... size C or D?

Adrian’s eyes snapped open.

The sight before him surprised him.

A woman, stunningly beautiful, lay on top of him.

Her bare body was intertwined tightly with his.

Adrian swallowed hard, trying to suppress the impulse.

The woman’s luminous skin glowed.

Her long, silky hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall.

She was extremely beautiful.

So it wasn’t a dream after all?!

And then, she stirred.

Her eyes fluttered as she tried to make sense of her surroundings, and her eyes widened in terror as soon as they locked onto his.

"What the fuck did you do to me?"

Sophia Aldridge gasped and scrambled back, clutching the sheets to her chest and swinging a towel at Adrian.

"And who the hell are you?!"

Her voice trembled.

"You bastard, you raped me!"

Adrian’s expression remained calm.

If it had been the old him, the man who had once cared too much, and hesitated too often.

That Adrian might have stammered, eager to explain.

But gone was his old self.

He said slowly and calmly, "I don't know how you found your way here... But you would have died if it wasn’t for me."

"You should be thanking me."
