Capítulo 107: Chapter 104: Vampiric Temptress (R18)
Lilith's Favorability: 20 (She's just not that into you.)
'Huh?' Ricky's brow furrowed as he glanced at the favorability meter.
Confusion simmered under his surface composure as he watched Lilith, who was tracing lazy circles on his leg with a warm smile that seemed to say otherwise.
'Is she just pretending to like me? Ricky wondered, until a thrill of intrigue sparking through him.
'Wait, if she's using me for something-........does that mean I might get lucky without even having to try, at all?' Ricky suddenly had an internal revelation as usually, he had to spin line after line just to make it halfway.
Lilith's hand lingered on his thigh, brushing it up just enough to spark temptation before slowly bringing it back down, and after seeing this Ricky just decided to play along.
Ricky wondered internally, usually having to constantly spit out an ontradra of lines until he gets into there pants.
"You know." Ricky said, letting his fingers brush over hers.
"There is something I could do for you." Ricky's voice lowered as his sleazy smile formed, and as he leaned in, she lifted her gaze, her smile widening with a glint of something he couldn't quite place.
"I'll do anything to show my appreciation," Lilith whispered, her cool breath brushing over Ricky's lips as she leaned closer, meeting him halfway.
Her voice was like silk, low and inviting, each word increasing the growing temptation within Ricky's pants.
A heartbeat later, her cold lips pressed against his, a sensation both exhilarating and strange.
There was no warmth in Lilith's touch; only a murky, unyielding cold that seemed to drain every ounce of heat from his skin.
Her fingers were like ice against him, a slow, consuming chill that reached deeper, as though seeking to steal every flicker of warmth he held.
But this new sensation, this cold thrill, only pulled Ricky deeper into this experience as his hand slid to her cheek, fingers tracing the smooth, porcelain skin, marveling at the strange allure of her chill.
Lilith leaned into his touch, her eyes fluttering shut, her demeanor softening as though surrendering to him completely.
She let him take the lead, every inch of her yielding and inviting, allowing Ricky to savor the illusion of her trust; or perhaps the carefully crafted illusion that he was in control at all.
Her tongue yielded passively to his, cold and unresponsive, lying there like something lifeless.
Ricky found himself coaxing, his own movements growing more insistent as he tried to stir a response, a flicker of life from that chill.
Yet, she remained hauntingly still, her lack of reaction an eerie thrill that only drove Ricky further.
He found himself pushing to coax something within her, to turn that cold stillness into a spark, to breathe warmth into her icy detachment.
'Wet to the touch.' Ricky's satisfaction simmered, but he wanted more—more reaction, more intensity.
Leaning into his skills, he pressed on with purpose, pushing the boundaries of what Lilith set for this encounter.
"Mmmmm~" Lilith's body gave a faint, unexpected shiver, her usual chill disrupted by a sudden pulse of warmth spreading through her.
A heat she hadn't felt in ages simmered just beneath her skin, and she could feel it pooling, her lower lips quivering beneath the delicate black velvet of her panties, dampening the fabric under her sheer robe.
Beneath the veil of delicate black lingerie, bare womanhood lay exposed, soft and smooth, the warmth of her arousal just barely concealed by the thin fabric.
The lace barely clung to her slit, her skin smooth and unmarked, a flawless canvas beneath the delicate fabric.
Every inch of her seemed perfectly sculpted, untouched by the world, inviting yet elusive.
Ricky's grip tightened as he pulled Lilith closer, his kiss trailing down her neck, his lips pressing against her cool skin, moving to the hollow of her collarbone.
His hands slid over her pale skin, the texture sending shivers through his fingertips as he slowly explored, his movements becoming more desperate.
But before he could pull her any closer, Lilith let out a soft, drawn-out chuckle that completely changed how the situation would progress.
Lilith moved with predatory grace, gliding onto his lap, her body pressing against him with a deliberate rhythm, her hips grinding against the growing bulge in his pants as she leaned into his ear, her breath cool and teasing.
"You're bad~" Lilith chuckled, a breathless, teasing sound that made her pale face flush.
Her long black hair clung to her shoulders, strands tracing the curve of her neck as her smile stretched wider, almost mischievous.
Before Ricky could muster a cheesy response, her fingers were already gripping his face, pulling him into a searing kiss.
Lilith's lips, cold at first, quickly warmed against his as the kiss deepened, fiercer this time, her movements hungry, demanding.
Ricky's hands, eager to follow suit, slid down her body with a purpose as his fingers lingered at her small waist, teasing the curve of her hips before they slipped lower, finding the soft swell of her ass.
He molded it under his amplifying touch, drawing a breathless gasp from her as he kneaded her like dough, feeling the heat radiating from her.
Lilith shivered, her composure slipping as Ricky's amplified hands moved with a growing urgency, pushing her closer to the edge.
She tried to take control, but Ricky's slow, deliberate touch sent waves of pleasure flooding her senses, leaving her breathless, caught in the web of their entanglement.
It was only the beginning, but Lilith could already feel herself melting under the searing heat of his touch.
Every brush of his hands, every movement, set her body on fire as she let Ricky take the lead, feeling the rhythm of their connection build as his touch ignited a craving she hadn't expected.
But then, without warning, Lilith's hands shot to his chest, pressing him back with surprising force.
Her breath was ragged as she pinned him beneath her, her eyes burning fiercely to command the situation.
Lilith knew she couldn't be passive anymore; she needed to control how the following moments would take hold, to control Ricky.
But what Lilith failed to account for was that Ricky wasn't just waiting, he was ravenous.
A beast starved for something beyond the familiar, craving more than the same predictable pleasure, desperate for a taste of something new, something beyond the endless repetition of the same meal, day after day.
Ricky's eyes darkened, narrowing into crescent moons as he fell back against the bed, his chest rising and falling with a deep, controlled breath.
Lilith hovered over him, sitting firmly on his waist, her movements slow and deliberate as she rubbed herself against the growing bulge beneath her.
'I can wait.' Ricky thought, his gaze fixed on Lilith that showed he was satisfied with what was in front of him, for now.
He could wait a little longer, savor the buildup, knowing what was coming next as he didn't need to rush, he wanted to savor the show.
Lilith smirked, aware of the power she held in that moment and slowly, she slid the sheer robe from her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor.
The faint glow of the room illuminated the lingerie beneath it, dark lace that clung to her curves in all the right places.
Her fingers grazed the clasp at her back, and with a soft click, the laced bra fell away, surrendering to gravity.
Two perky, symmetrical breasts were exposed to the air, the coolness making her soft pink nipples pebble, gently swaying before they settled, sharply pointed in the dim light.
Biting her lip, Lilith hesitated for a moment, but then, with a slow, deliberate movement, she stood over Ricky.
Her fingers grazed the waistband of her panties, peeling them down inch by inch, revealing the soft, untouched pussy, a delicate innocence that seemed untouched by the world.
Hovering just above Ricky's partially clothed form, Lilith paused, letting the weight of the moment settle and then, with a final breath, she bared herself completely to him, her form now fully exposed.
Her body, the new vampire queen's, was a masterpiece, something that seemed almost unreal, crafted by moonlight and whispered desires.
The pale, flawless skin of her curves glowed under the dim light, soft and smooth, untouched by the harshness of the world.
Every inch of her was sculpted, her waist cinched perfectly, leading to hips that swelled in perfect proportion, tempting and inviting.
Her breasts, perky and symmetrical, stood proudly, their soft pink nipples now taut with anticipation, catching the light like the delicate bloom of a flower.
Her stomach was flat and toned, the faintest curve of muscle tracing the path down to the edge of her pelvis, where the thin line of her lower abdomen led to the soft, untainted folds between her thighs.
However, there was a clear trace of inexperience, the hesitation in each movement slowly overtaking her usual commanding presence as Lilith's confidence wavered, replaced by a subtle vulnerability as she took a deep breath.
It was then that she finally reached for Ricky's growing bulge, her fingers trembling slightly as she moved to undo his shorts and with a slow pull, she freed him from the confines of his clothing.
Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of him; at the sheer size of him, the dragon that lurked beneath his shorts, now exposed by her own hands.
For a moment, she froze, her breath catching in her throat as her fingers hovered over him.
Lilith flinched, not out of fear, but from the overwhelming intensity of the moment and slowly, she reached again, but her hand pulled back, unsure yet undeniably intrigued.
*Ahem*
"Uh, you alright, Lilith?" Ricky raised an eyebrow, wondering if she might be a virgin, but before he could voice the question, he was sharply cut off by the glare she shot his way.
"I'm fine," Lilith purred, her voice almost too smooth.
"I've done this tons of times before-....it's just been a while~" Lilith forced a confident smile, trying to mask the brief flicker of uncertainty in her eyes, before her gaze dropped back to his veiny, throbbing cock.
Her breath caught for a moment, but she didn't let it show before reaching toward him, she hesitated just for an instant, her small hands barely able to wrap around his thick length.
The size of him felt almost too much, her fingers struggling to fully encircle him, as she gently stroked, still trying to steady herself.
Each pulse of his body seemed to echo in her own, and for a fleeting moment, she was reminded of how uncharted this territory felt, despite everything she had done before.
Lilith flinched, her breath catching as her eyes inadvertently met Ricky's intense gaze.
A faint blush crept across her cheeks, and she quickly turned her attention back to his cock, trying to regain her focus.
Her small hand moved up and down, teasing, but the response she had expected, him giving in to the pleasure but that didn't happen.
Instead, Ricky's frown deepened, his expression unreadable, making her pulse quicken with unease.
For a moment, hesitation held her back, but then, she discarded her caution.
With a determined breath, she hovered above him, her movements slow and deliberate.
As she reached for his tip, her lips curled into a frustrated expression, ready to go all in despite the uncertainty.
But just as she was about to press forward, Ricky's hand shot out, grabbing her wrist with firm, unyielding strength.
"Lilith, wait-" Ricky's voice was sudden, his hand reaching out to stop her, but it was too late.
It was painfully obvious she had no idea what she was actually doing, too naive to fully understand the weight of what she was about to do.
But before he could pull her back, she swatted his hands away, her gaze intense.
Lilith's breath caught in her throat as a fire of determination flared inside her.
In that moment, Lilith made a choice as this was her first step into the overwhelming power she craved, and she pushed herself forward, her body instinctively slamming down onto him.
Her body moved instinctively, her hips slamming down, a sharp, breathless gasp escaping her lips as she slammed onto him.
In that instant, Lilith's innocence was utterly ripped apart by Ricky's monstrous cock and the consequences hit her like a bolt, the immediate stretch too much for her to handle.
However, Lilith had naively put her entire strength into her motion which forced the entire length of Ricky inside her.
Her body, unprepared for the force, convulsed madly as his being surged immediately towards the deepest regions with a brutality that left her breathless.
The sensation was overwhelming, burning, and Lilith's mind went blank as all the air in her lungs evacuated in an instant.
Lilith could feel every painful inch of him, her body molding and ripping around his size in a desperate way to accommodate him as her nerve endings were seemingly rearranging.
"A-AHHHHHHHHHH!" Lilith's scream rang out, her body trembling, tears streaking down her face as she felt herself being torn open.
Her once-innocent lips quivered, forced apart by him, stretching to a point that made her feel as if she were torn at the seams.
Lilith's shivering pussy cried out with her purity, streaks of crimson streaming down the base of his cock and staining the sheet's below.
Ricky froze, his teeth clenched as the tightness of her body gripped him, sending a rush of sensation that nearly took his breath away.
For a moment, the pressure seemed almost too much to bear, the way her body constricted around him, cutting off the flow of blood, leaving him dizzy with desire.
Ricky paused, unable to move, taking a moment to process the intensity of the connection between them.
L-Lilith, are you okay?" Ricky reached forward, watching as her perfect, composed facade shattered before the pain overtook her.
Her hands flew to her face, gripping at her features as scarlet tears streaked down her cheeks, tears that weren't supposed to exist.
Vampires couldn't cry like humans, but the agony coursing through her made her body tremble violently, as if it might collapse under the weight.
Lilith had lost her voice, her mouth hanging open in a silent scream as the pain was unlike anything she'd ever experienced, a searing force that seemed to cut through her very being.
She stood frozen, in shock, her mind struggling to process the sheer intensity of it as nothing made sense, and she couldn't figure out what to do next.
"Lilith, hey." Ricky gently brushed her hair aside, his hands softly pulling hers away as her trembling form lifted her eyes to meet his.
Ricky cupped her face, his fingers pressing into her cheeks, forcing her to look at him.
"It's okay, you're okay." Ricky murmured quickly, his voice soothing as he tried to calm her.
Ricky hadn't expected her to be so vulnerable, so completely unprepared for what had just happened.
Lilith's reaction caught him off guard, and he found himself completely caught off guard at how naive she was to sex.
In Ricky's mind, he had expected her to take control for a while, to ride him before the moment would shift, and he would take the lead, flipping her onto her back.
"I-It hurts, it really hurts." Lilith wanted to scream, but all that escaped her lips was a soft, pained whisper.
Her body trembled as Ricky pulled her into his arms, holding her close, trying to reel in from the steamy intertwining he thought he was about to have.
"What were you thinking? You have to ease into it, you can't just start immediately-"
*Sniff*
*Sniff*
"I-I just wanted to win and be seductive~" Lilith's voice cracked as she sniffled, her forehead tapping against his shoulder repeatedly, as if the motion could erase her embarrassment.
The cold, controlled persona she usually wore; sly, mysterious, and seductive, began to crumble, piece by piece, as her vulnerability seeped through.
"You want to win? At sex?" Ricky's laugh bubbled out, incredulous and amused as he'd never heard anyone say it like that.
The sound of his laughter echoed in the space between them before Lilith's eyes flashed with fury, and before he knew it, her deadly glare cut through him like a blade.
*Cough*
"Well, if it makes you feel better, you definitely nailed it in the seductive department." Ricky teased, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
Lilith narrowed her eyes, her glare sharp and furious as she rubbed at her tired eyes, trying to brush off the lingering sting of his words.
"DAMMIT-Owie~" Lilith hissed, her frustration rising, only for the movement of her body to bring a wave of sharp pain.
The sudden intensity of it forced her to fall silent, her words choking in her throat as the agony swept over her
"Relax, just relax~" Ricky murmured softly, his voice a calming contrast to the turmoil in Lilith's expression.
Ricky could see she was far out of her element, and he knew it was time to take control.
"H-How can I relax when it feels like my body is constantly tearing-" Lilith's voice cracked as she turned toward him, pain still etched on her face, the blood tears streaming down her cheeks.
Before she could say more, Ricky silenced her with a kiss as his lips pressed firmly against hers, enveloping her completely.
It was deep, overwhelming, all-encompassing, an anchor in the storm of her suffering.
As his hands moved over her body, they stoked the last embers of pleasure still buried within her, trying to shift the balance of pain into something different, something more manageable.
Suddenly, Lilith found herself in a completely different position as her back pressed against the bed, her mind foggy and disoriented.
The shift in position brought a sharp surge of pain once more, but buried deep within it, a small, unfamiliar stir of pleasure began to rise slowly, almost like it was trying to break through the ache.
It felt strange to Lilith, conflicting even as she was acutely aware that all of this, everything she was feeling, was her own doing.
Yet here was Ricky, a man she had barely met, a man who had killed her father, and yet, somehow, he was actively trying to comfort her.
The contradiction gnawed at her, leaving her lost in a whirlwind of emotions she couldn't quite make sense of.
The mingling of their lips was slow at first, Lilith's hesitation evident as she wasn't sure what to do.
But under Ricky's steady lead, she began to follow his rhythm, finding her footing with each passing second.
Her hands gradually slid around his neck, the pain in her body slowly starting to fade as Ricky's lips worked against hers.
It was a gradual release, the warmth and softness of the kiss replacing the ache, allowing her to finally move as her trembling legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, drawing him closer.
When they finally broke the kiss, the connection lingered; like a delicate, fragile thread between them.
Lilith's breath was shallow, her face flushed with warmth while her mouth still hung open, her tongue peeking out ever so slightly.
"W-Why did you stop~" Lilith, still caught in the moment, asked innocently, her voice barely a whisper as Ricky hovered above her.
"Because you're so damn sexy," Ricky murmured, his voice low and filled with admiration as he took her hand in his, kissing her palm gently, a gesture that lingered longer than she expected.
The words seemed to hit Lilith all at once and her face flushed a deep crimson, her embarrassment palpable.
"W-What?!" Lilith stammered, her mind racing as she realized the weight of what she had said and the unexpected compliment Ricky had just given her.
Before she could process it, Ricky leaned back down, his lips finding hers once more, sealing any further words in the rush of the moment.
"I'm going to start," Ricky whispered, his hand gently wrapping around hers.
He guided his fingers to intertwine with hers to the side, pressing it softly against the sheets, as if to pin it there.
"W-Wait, Ricky, I-" Lilith began to protest, her words faltering as a deep flush spread across her face before she turned away, embarrassed, feeling the heat of the moment suffocating her.
But Ricky wasn't going to let her hide as he gently cupped her cheek, turning her face back toward his.
"Tell me, I want to know." Ricky uttered these words with a large smile, knowing that it was literally impossible to be more smooth in that moment.
"I-I'm scared," Lilith admitted, her voice trembling as she gnashed her fangs tightly, then used the hand not holding Ricky's to wipe away the dried tears from her face.
"What can I do? Just tell me~" Ricky murmured, his chuckle carrying a mixture of amusement and tenderness.
There was something about her, this innocent little lamb hidden beneath a tough and rough exterior, that just made him want to go wild.
"Just go slow, please." Lilith whispered, the words slipping from her lips with a quiet desperation as it cost her pride to say it, but she needed him to understand.
But before she could say more, a light kiss brushed her cold lips, gentle, almost reassuring and Ricky paused, a playful yet thoughtful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Is there any other way?" Ricky asked softly, before gently taking her other hand, wrapping his fingers around hers and pinning it delicately to the side of her head.
Under his grip, Lilith stood still, her body tense, hair spilling over her fingers, showing a slight trace of unease of fear at what was to come.
It was then that Ricky's hips shifted, the first movement in what felt like eternity as her breath hitched as he pulled out, the emptiness biting at her skin.
A slow, aching pull started before a brief pause hung in the air before he pushed back inside, filling her again, inch by inch.
The rhythm was deep, forceful, his thrust slow but unwavering as her body trembled, each movement sending waves of thick, aching shockwaves through her, stretching and filling her completely.
Lilith's eyelids fluttered, her head pressing back against the sheets as her teeth clenched.
Ricky's lips grazed the soft curve of her neck, marking her skin with dark hickeys.
The pace was slow, each push gradual but relentless as the ache in her body simmered, spreading deep as Ricky forced himself further inside, stretching her, filling her completely.
The pressure built with each thrust, her walls tight and raw without the comfort of lubrication.
Every inch was a struggle, a pull, until a sharp cry tore from her throat, the pain turning to something else, something burning with need.
"Ah~" Lilith's breath hitched, a moan escaping her as Ricky pressed deeper into her, his slow movement drawing an instinctive reaction.
The sensation caught her off guard, she didn't know what this was, but the pain was quickly overtaken by something else.
His presence, his scent, his touch; each one tipping the balance, overwhelming her senses.
The ache in her body faded, replaced by a rising tide of pleasure, raw and undeniable, as his every movement shifted her world.
His cock slid in and out with a steady rhythm, the friction intensifying the heat that was building within her, her insides tightening, grasping at him with every slow, steady movement.
"A-Ah~" Lilith wasn't sure if the sound was right, but the moan slipped from her lips anyway, the sensation of Ricky's cock slowly forcing her walls apart making her gasp.
The old wooden frame groaned under his steady rhythm, each movement deepening, enhancing the connection already growing between them.
Ricky's thrusts pushed inside her, each one seemingly reaching deeper, stretching her insides, making her tighten around him.
She could feel the pressure, the pull, as he slid deeper, slowly transforming her insides, slowly giving way to his every action
Lilith's moans, once soft, began to rise, becoming more fervent, filled with a desperate passion.
It was then did Ricky's pace quickened, each thrust harder, deeper, as Lilith's body moved against him, swaying with the rhythm like a tide crashing against the shore.
He hovered above her, watching as she lost herself in the sensation, her body undulating with each thrust, rippling in time with his movements, her skin flushed and glistening with sweat.
Ricky pressed her hands deeper into the sheets, feeling the overwhelming need to ease up, but the steady stream of innocent moans only fueled his desire as each sound she made drove him wilder, pushing him harder.
*Clap*
"AHHH~" Lilith screamed, her back arching as Ricky slammed into her, the sudden force catching her off guard, breaking the slow rhythm they'd built.
Her body reacted immediately, the intensity of the thrusts surging through her, her moans now desperate and raw.
"R-Ricky~" Lilith gasped, her voice trembling, her body straining to speak, but before she could finish, Ricky crushed his lips against hers in a forceful kiss before Ricky's hips lifted a slow, dramatic pull.
*CLAP*
Ricky's hips crashed down into her waist in one swift, powerful motion, his cock driving deep inside her with a brutal, immediate force.
The sudden impact sent a jolt of electricity through her body, the unforgiving intensity forcing her to shudder, her eyes twitching uncontrollably as they rolled back, lost in the overwhelming tide of sensation.
In that instant, Ricky reached deeper than ever before, every inch of him sending shockwaves through her, until her mind went blank, consumed by the overwhelming flood of pleasure, a thick haze that clouded her every thought.
The rapid movement made Lilith's body tremble, her eyes fluttering as they rolled back in ecstasy, her every nerve alight with the sensation of him inside her, pushing her to the edge.
"F*cking hell~" Ricky grunted, savoring her tightness as he leaned down, his breath hot against her neck, before he began to pull back, only to drive in again.
*CLAP*
*Thump*
*CLAP*
*Thump*
Ricky slammed down into her once more, the bed frame striking the wall with each powerful thrust, the sound filling the room like a heartbeat, steady and relentless.
Lilith lay beneath him, held firmly in place, giving in completely to his grip as he filled her over and over, her mind slipping away with each forceful motion.
Ricky's relentless pace drove her deeper into the mattress, each thrust pushing her further toward that edge where pleasure blurred with surrender.
"AH!" Lilith's moan rang out, her voice raw as she felt the weight of his thrusts, each one driving waves of pleasure through her.
Ricky captured her mouth with his, their lips locked in a fierce kiss, yet the slick, wet sounds between them remained.
With Ricky's tongue plunging into her mouth, her moans were muffled, swallowed up by the hunger of his kiss.
The room was still filled with the shameless sounds of their bodies meeting, their skin met with a wet, slick sound, the unmistakable slap of flesh against flesh carrying through the air, each one sharper, deeper, a symphony of lust that filled the silence between their gasping breaths.
Lilith's body felt as if it had to react in kind, clenching around him as his cock surged forward, the slick heat of her opening molding around him, swallowing him whole each and every time.
Ricky broke their hot kiss once more, watching as her moans spilled from her lips with each one a sharp exhale of desperation
His balls churning, swelling as he felt himself nearing while ramping up his pace to whole new level only for Lilith's eyes to widen.
Gritting his teeth, he could feel his balls tightening as he reached the edge, pushing himself deeper into her, the pressure building as he slammed into her with savage intent.
Lilith's eyes went wide, her breath catching, unable to focus as her body trembled with the force of each thrust.
She instinctively looked down, her mind unable to stop the flood of raw images before her.
The sight of her own body, stretched and taking him, was obscene, her pussy struggling to accommodate his size.
Lilith could feel the tight, slick friction as his thrusts pounded into her, each one pushing her closer to the edge, her body trembling and leaking with each forceful movement.
Her thighs quivered beneath him, her moans growing louder, more frantic as the wet, slapping sound of their connection filled the room, a brutal rhythm that matched the frantic pounding of her pulse.
Lilith could feel herself unraveling, her senses overloaded with the pressure building in her core, the slick, heated mess of their bodies working in desperate sync.
The heat between them was suffocating, and the intensity of it all, his grip, the power in his thrusts, had her seeing stars as the ache turned into something willing up deep within her.
"HAA~" Lilith cried out, the sound escaping her lips as the wave of pleasure crested.
Lilith could feel herself spiraling, nearing the edge as Ricky's grip on her tightened as his teeth were clenched in a grimace of effort, and with a grunt, he pulled back one more time before slamming back into her with all his might.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Lilith's scream echoed, her body jerking violently as her head crashed back against the bed.
Her eyes fluttered wildly, unable to focus as the sensation of Ricky pounding into her flooded her mind.
The rush of ecstasy hit her like a freight train, a tidal wave that tore through every nerve in her body.
"Argh~" Ricky grunted, his cock pulsing hard, each movement sending shockwaves through his body.
Ricky could only feel the tight, hot grip of her and as Lilith flushed out her own climax, his entire body tensed, releasing wave after wave of hot, thick cum deep inside her.
His cock throbbed uncontrollably as he flooded her with every ounce of himself, the heat of it scorching her in a way she'd never experienced before.
Lilith's body quivered, overwhelmed by the sensation of him filling her as the heat poured into her, her mind fogging as she took it all, every drop.
The world around her seemed to fade, her focus narrowing to the feeling of Ricky inside her, the violent pulse of his release and the rawness of it all.
The pressure of his seed spread through her, mixing with the haze of pleasure that clouded her senses.
It felt as if she was nothing but a vessel for him, consumed by the force of what he gave her, her body trembling as it accepted him completely.
"A-Ah~" Lilith groaned, her body trembling as the rush of pleasure surged through her.
Her breath came in shallow, desperate gasps, her chest heaving with each erratic intake of air.
"Phew~" Ricky heaved, a deep breath escaping him as he finally pulled away, letting go of her hands, which had been trapped in his firm grip.
Ricky looked down at Lilith, his gaze heavy, almost unreadable as he tried to catch his breath.
Her body was still trembling beneath him, the intensity of their connection hanging in the air like a thick fog, too potent to dissipate just yet.
Instinctively, Ricky cupped her panting face in his hand, his thumb gently brushing over her slightly outstretched tongue as her shallow breaths fluttered against his skin.
'Yeah, I need another round,' Ricky thought, the thought so instinctual that it almost seemed out of his control.
Turning her limp, panting body onto her stomach, Ricky gripped her arm, pulling her up against him.
Lilith's head tilted back, resting against his shoulder as her breath came in shaky gasps, still recovering from the intensity of their previous movements.
The heat between them hadn't faded, and neither had the raw, unrelenting hunger that surged through him.
His hands slid slowly up her body, fingers brushing over the soft, heated skin of her back, before cupping both of her perky breasts in his palms as he massaged them roughly, kneading the soft flesh as he pulled her body closer to his.
However, instead of continuing where he left off, Ricky pulled back slightly, leaving Lilith to simmer in the haze of pleasure she was drowning in.
The sudden absence of movement sent a shudder through her, her body trembling with the unfulfilled tension as she tried to catch her breath.
"W-What are you doing?" Lilith's words came out in a breathy murmur, her eyes slowly clearing from the haze.
Lilith turned to him, only to meet his knowing side-eye as her heart raced at the teasing gleam in his eyes, the control he was taking over the moment while his lips curled into a sleazy smile that only made her flush deeper.
"What am I supposed to be doing?" Ricky's voice was thick with amusement, the question almost mocking as he watched her squirm under his gaze.
Lilith blushed furiously, her cheeks burning as she averted her eyes, embarrassed by the vulnerability of her position.
"Y-You put me in t-this embarrassing position, and you're just-" Lilith's words faltered as she tried to make sense of the frustration building inside her.
But as she opened her mouth to continue, she felt the familiar twitch of his cock buried deep inside her, sending an electric shiver through her body.
The sensation made her fangs clench, her breath catching in her throat as the mix of pleasure and irritation blurred her thoughts.
"That's not how you ask~" Ricky's voice was low, teasing, almost like a dare as he leaned in, kissing the back of her ear, the warmth of his lips sending another shiver down her spine.
The heat between them thickened, his control over her emotions and body pressing her further into a corner, forcing her to give in to the simmering tension he'd built.
"I-I want to feel you~" Lilith's words were barely a whisper, but they were heavy with need, her heart racing as she turned toward Ricky.
Her breath caught in her throat, and before she could say another word, Ricky leaned in, placing a soft kiss on her shoulder, a tender contrast to the burning desire between them.
"AH~" Lilith gasped, her breath hitching in her throat as the sudden shift in Ricky's movements took her by surprise.
Before she could process it, he thrust into her with force, his body pressing against hers as he filled her completely.
Her head jolted back, the overwhelming sensation making her body tremble as a smile crept across her face.
His fingers cupped her perky breasts deeply, his cum still swirling inside her, trapped by the steady intrusion of his cock.
Each thrust drove deeper, his hips slapping against her with a pace that sent shivers through her.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Her moans echoed in time with the force of his movements, urging him on as she surrendered once more to the mounting pleasure.
Closing his eyes, Ricky let himself sink into the feeling that overtook him every time he plunged deeper into Lilith.
His head dropped to her shoulder, his breath hot against her skin as his pace grew more fervent.
*Clap*
*Clap*
Lilith's body responded to Ricky's relentless pace, her ass rippling with each impact, the sound echoing like applause through the room as her moans grew louder, rising to a long, breathless cry as the intensity pushed her further.
"Ahhhhhhh~" Lilith gasped, unable to hold back as the pleasure surged higher, intensifying with each second.
Just then, Lilith's crimson eyes opened, fixating on the sight of Ricky's exposed neck, pulsing and vulnerable in the dim light.
The temptation was irresistible, her instincts taking over as her fangs extended, sharp and eager as she leaned in, her breath warm against his skin, driven by a primal urge to claim him.
With a deliberate movement, her fangs sank into his flesh, her grip tightening as a surge of satisfaction coursed through her.
She wanted Ricky; by her side, bound to her, hand in hand, inextricably linked and with each heartbeat, she drew him closer to that reality, sealing their connection in the heat of the moment.
Ricky's blood was intoxicating, a rich, powerful essence that seemed to fill every part of her as she drank.
She felt utterly consumed, her senses sharpened, every beat of his heart drawing her deeper into a heady desire she couldn't resist.
The taste only heightened her craving, a primal need flaring up as she clung to him, unable to stop herself from wanting more.
*Gulp*
Lilith swallowed a deep, warm rush of his blood just as her ass was pounded, his cock slamming forward again, each thrust driving her body and mind into a dizzying cycle of pleasure and hunger.
Her eyes fluttered closed, lost in the rhythm, only to open again with each fresh wave of sensation.
Lilith was slowly draining him in more ways than one, her body tightening around him in a relentless grip, like a vice that milked every inch of his cock.
With each movement, her fangs sank deeper, drawing another mouthful of blood as the pleasure and need mingled in a consuming cycle.
*Clap*
*Clap*
*Clap*
The sound of their skin slapping together filled the air, yet they were completely silent, lost in the overwhelming pleasure.
Neither spoke, instead their bodies did all the talking, entranced by the rhythm they created together, each thrust pushing them deeper into the ecstasy they shared.
Both of them slammed into each other with a desperate urgency, each thrust a plea to feel the other's release before their grip on each other tightened as they moved in perfect sync, as if connected by some unseen force.
Ricky's nails dug into her skin, and in response, Lilith's fingers mirrored his, both of them marking each other as they lost themselves in the moment.
With one brutal thrust, Ricky buried himself deep inside her, just as Lilith pushed down to meet him.
"A-A-A-Ah~" Lilith shuddered, her fangs pulling away from his neck, leaving a trail of blood on her chin.
Her eyes rolled back as her body clenched around him, her climax flushing through her with overwhelming force.
"F*ck~" Ricky grunted, not caring about the bite on his neck as his balls tightened, churning out one final serving of cum as he released everything he had been holding inside her.
The scorching heat of his cum filled her completely, leaving her breathless as the sensation swirled within her, igniting a fire that consumed every inch of her being as the feeling ravaged her mind.
*HUFF*
*HUFF*
*HUFF*
Suddenly, they both collapsed onto the bed, Ricky lying on top of her before rolling to the side.
Lilith unconsciously nestled into his embrace, her body seeking the comfort of his closeness as Ricky's tired eyes drifted forward, his mind still heavy with the aftermath of their shared moment.
*DING*
'F*ck it, I'll worry about it tomorrow.'

Ricky's eyebrow twitched, his eyes flickering open as the persistent ring of the notification refused to be ignored, echoing insistently in his mind.
It was still the middle of the night, barely thirty minutes since Lilith had drifted off, sleeping peacefully in Ricky's arms.
Yet above him, a hovering screen lingered, casting a faint glow over the darkness, demanding his attention.
'Fine, Jesus-' Ricky muttered, reluctantly agreeing, only to feel an intense strain ripple through him.
His eyes turned jet black as dark veins webbed across his skin, pulsing with vampiric essence.
Slipping out of bed, he staggered toward the bathroom, each step weighed down by the familiar, brutal ache coursing through his body.
*Huff*
*Huff*
Stumbling toward the bathroom, Ricky clutched his body, gritting his teeth as the vampiric essence took hold, searing through his veins.
'Oh, for f*ck's sake, I completely forgot about this part.' Ricky hatefully thought, his face laced with a bitter resentment.
Ricky's muscles spasmed with agony, each pulse more intense than the last, until he finally collapsed to his knees, panting.
Ricky glared up at the hovering screen before him, its glow sharp against the dark, as if mocking his torment.
*DING*
By-Product Received:
+15 Mana
+10 Strength
+10 Vitality
+10 Agility
Vampiric Terror: Consumed and manifested through the eldritch abomination. The user has gained the ability to assume a formidable Vampiric Form. This form grants it predatory instincts, near-supernatural resilience, and razor-sharp fangs and claws capable of rendering through most mortal defenses.
Powers and Abilities:
Vampiric Physique: Upon transformation, the abomination's body is imbued with enhanced strength, agility, and endurance, allowing it to move with unnatural speed and strike with terrifying force. Its senses sharpen, enabling it to track prey with primal focus, detecting heartbeats and sensing the life essence of those nearby.
Blood-Drain Bite: The abomination can drain life essence directly from its victims through a bite, rejuvenating itself by sapping the vitality of others. This ability hastens its healing and sustains the transformation for longer durations, but only if it can regularly feed.
Predator's Reflexes: With an instinctive awareness of incoming attacks, the abomination gains heightened reflexes, allowing it to dodge or counter physical strikes more easily while in this vampiric state. This instinct operates on an almost primal level, moving faster than conscious thought.
Weakness:
Magic Suppression: Vampiric Form draws upon the abomination's magical abilities rendering them inert. The abomination cannot cast spells, use magical skills, or access any arcane abilities, relying solely on physical prowess and vampiric instincts.
Light Sensitivity: The Vampiric Form is weakened in direct sunlight or under intense radiant sources, reducing its durability and stamina. The abomination's regenerative abilities are also slow, making prolonged exposure to light a significant risk during transformation.
Scowling, Ricky barely glanced at the skill notification before flipping off the system.
He pulled himself up, leaning over the sink to stare into the mirror as his magic stirred within him, and a new form took hold, but he only frowned, unimpressed by the lack of any noticeable improvement in his appearance.
'Man, I really thought for a second I was gonna be some adonis in that vampire form, but I can't guess not everything goes my way.' Ricky let out a reluctant sigh, he turned on the faucet, letting the cool water run over his hands.
Ricky splashed his face, feeling the chill steady him, then lowered his gaze to watch the water flow down the drain, his mind drifting with it.
'I mean, I kind of expected Lilith to bone me but to turn me-wait.' Ricky's thoughts spiraled, his mind suddenly racing at superhuman speeds.
It felt as if his brain had kicked into overdrive, every neuron firing at full capacity as he snapped his gaze to his reflection, a sudden realization dawning on him, clear and sharp, cutting through the fog in his mind.
'If she boned me to turn me into some vampire and if it didn't work the first time, does that mean she'll keep trying?' Ricky's hand shot up to cover his mouth, stifling a grin as his thoughts spun further.
'And if she keeps trying, that means I get to keep having sex without any effort?' Ricky's mouth fell open, stunned, since this was something he'd never imagined happening and yet, here he was, faced with a situation that felt too good to be real.
'Focus and keep your f*cking mouth shut. We're in it for the long haul.' Ricky told himself, gripping the sink tightly as he locked eyes with his own reflection and with a steadying breath, he released his grip and made his way back to bed.
The moment he slipped under the covers, Lilith instinctively curled against his chest, her warmth a quiet comfort.
He allowed a small smile as he drifted into sleep, unaware that just as his breathing slowed, Lilith's crimson eyes flickered open, watching him with a hint of something unspoken.
'And now we wait.' Lilith slowly caressed his chest before her eyes too slowly shut.
Next day,

*Huff*
Ricky grunted with each pull-up, his muscles straining as he worked through the set.
Sweat dripped down his face, but his mind was elsewhere, on the rewards that awaited him.
He'd put off deciding which one to claim until now, knowing his thoughts would be sharper once his body was in motion.
But even as his muscles burned, he was still at a loss, torn between options, his mind still clouded by indecision.
'Screw it, choose Lilith's powers.'
*DING*
Ricky didn't want to part with so much of his gacha, especially in light of his eldritch skill.
But Lilith's necromancy was something else and was far too useful for his plans, especially with what was coming.
The power to raise the dead, to bend them to his will, was something Ricky couldn't afford to ignore, no matter the cost as the decision gnawed at him, but the practicality of it was undeniable.
*DING*
Received:
Necromancy Magic(Innate): The user can conjure the undead through intricate rituals and dark incantations, requiring components like bones, blood, and ancient relics and the summoning process includes:
Ritual Preparation: The user must set up a necromantic circle inscribed with runes and symbols that channel death energy, creating a conduit between the living world and the afterlife.Invocation: The user must recite an ancient incantation, the user voice resonating with power. Dark energy swirls around her, and the ground trembles as the undead rise from the circle.Manifestation: Undead beings such as skeletal warriors and ghostly apparitions emerge, bound to the users will with glowing eyes reflecting the users command.
'Feed it.'
In a mere second, the text was seemingly devoured before his eyes as his eyes became void black as it was taking fold.
*Ding*
Necromancy Magic (Eldritch Abomination):
Ritual Preparation: The user creates a dark nexus, summoning necrotic energies through the placement of blood-soaked relics and the bones of the fallen. The ritual circle, etched in corrupted symbols and runes, pulses with an unholy glow, drawing the very essence of death from the void.
Invocation of the Forgotten: With each chant, the user's voice reverberates through the fabric of the dimension, calling out to the ancient, forsaken souls. The ground cracks open, and the earth groans under the pressure of forgotten spirits clawing their way back to the mortal realm.
Manifestation of the Abyssal Horde: From the corrupted circle, a horde of skeletal warriors, wraiths, and other unholy entities claw their way into the physical realm. Their eyes, hollow and filled with otherworldly malevolence, are bound to the user's will, each one an extension of the user's will to feed the darkness.
Abilities:
Abyssal Dominion: The user commands the undead, each corpse bound to their will with threads of necrotic power.
Eternal Rebirth: Those summoned can never truly die; as long as the user exists, the undead may rise again. They are perpetual servants until their master is undone.
The words Profaci had spoken to him those years ago echoed in his mind, haunting him, driving him toward a decision he'd been avoiding.
Seeing Lilith wield control over the undead had sparked something in him, an opportunity.
She was undeniably attractive, and Ricky couldn't deny his desire to want to boneher, that was the first thing that drew him in.
But then, he saw something more in Lilith as he wasn't just sitting on the sidelines, ogling her when she faced off against Rachael, no, for the most part, he was observing her abilities.
Profaci was undeniably right in his assessment: Ricky couldn't be in two places at once. And if he ever left, there would be risks, people could target those he cared about, use them against him, manipulate his absence to their advantage.
The thought gnawed at him, a constant reminder of his limitations as it was a vulnerability Ricky couldn't afford, not when everything he'd built could easily crumble in his absence.
But this changed everything for Ricky. His mind raced, already swirling with possibilities, each one more enticing than the last.
A grin spread across his face, one that was almost manic as he dropped to the floor and started doing sit-ups, his body moving rhythmically, fueled by the new sense of purpose.
With Lilith's powers at his disposal, he could finally protect his people without being there.
His future was unfolding in front of him, and this time, nothing would stand in his way from getting whatever he wanted.
'Now coupons.'

(Legendary Item) ChronoCore Data Recorder
Description: The ChronoCore Data Recorder is a sleek, high-tech device designed to capture and store vast amounts of data with unprecedented efficiency. It features a futuristic design with a crystalline display that glows with a soft, pulsating light.
Features:
Infinite RAM Array: Equipped with an advanced, virtually limitless RAM array, the ChronoCore can handle and record enormous volumes of data without any risk of running out of memory.
Secure Encryption: Incorporates state-of-the-art encryption algorithms to ensure that all recorded data is secure from unauthorized access, maintaining confidentiality and integrity.
Advanced Interface: Features an intuitive holographic interface that allows users to manage and access recorded data with ease. The interface supports advanced data visualization and analysis tools.
(Legendary Armor) Ring of Aegis: Grants nigh-immunity to physical and magical attacks for a short period of time.
Effects:
Damage Reduction: Reduces incoming damage by a significant percentage.
Magical Shield: Provides a barrier that absorbs a portion of magical attacks for a specific period of time.
Regeneration: Accelerates natural healing, allowing for rapid recovery from injuries.
Warning: When activated the effects are only active for a minute and need thirty minutes to recharge.
(Epic Skill) Quickcraft: A versatile skill that allows the user to rapidly assemble or repair simple items and tools using basic materials and tools with the cost of the user's stamina.
'What the hell do I do with a recording device and that ring sucks.' Ricky thought, pushing his body upward before pausing, his mind working over the problem again.
'Well, I guess I could use the device to record sh*t for blackmail and for the ring. I guess I can lend it out.' Ricky punched the air lightly, feeling a small surge of satisfaction before lowering himself back down for another sit-up.
'But if I let my skill eat it, it'll turn all weird and dark. I'll hold off on letting it eat the items for now.' Ricky sighed at the thought since there was always some twist when he fed something to the eldritch abomination.
If he allowed others to use it, he knew it could freak them out, and that wasn't something he was willing to deal with, at least, not yet.
'But feed quickie craft or whatever the name is.'
Quickcraft→ Flesh Weaving: A twisted reflection of mundane craftsmanship, this skill allows the user to rapidly assemble, repair, or modify objects using basic materials. However, each act of creation or repair draws upon the user's life essence, draining their stamina as the magic demands payment from the very fabric of their being.
Abilities:
Flesh and Bone Forging: The user can craft and modify objects with mere gestures, bending simple materials like wood, metal, or bone into intricate, functional forms. This may include weapons, armor, or even constructs designed for specific, often dark, purposes.
Hastened Reconstruction: The user can instantly repair damaged tools, weapons, or structures, withering their stamina as they force their body to rush the process. In battle, this skill can rapidly fix broken armor or reload weapons.
Unholy Ingenuity: The user's creations are laced with dark energy, allowing even the simplest objects to carry eldritch properties, such as weapons that drain life force or tools that can siphon memories.
Weaknesses:
Stamina Sacrifice: The skill is fueled by the user's stamina, and each use gradually weakens the user physically and mentally, leading to exhaustion or, if overused, permanent damage to their body.
'F*cking weird, man.' Ricky sighed internally, shaking his head since he completely expected it.
'But I guess I'm weird too so I can't complain.' Ricky thought, sitting up as his reflection was that of an eldritch horror.
*Sigh*
'Now, for the goddess of luck to not be a b*tch, roll the gacha.'

'Woah.' Ricky thought, eyeing the items he'd just received as he pulled out an electric kettle.
To most, it might seem like just an everyday appliance, something to shrug off. But to Ricky, this was more than that.
Ricky had big plans for when he got back to New York, plans to elevate the Luciano family's influence beyond its usual reach, branching into the business world in a way that hadn't been done before.
His mind raced with ideas, none more thrilling than the possibilities that came with the blueprint scanner and the advanced items already stored in his inventory.
With this technology, he could dominate the household appliance market, pushing the family's reach into new territory.
'Later, later.' Ricky reminded himself, reigning in his thoughts as he stood up, rubbing his neck as he'd get there eventually, but right now, he needed to keep focused.
'Let's go take a shower, I smell like sh*t.'
1 hour later,
After a long, steamy shower, Ricky stood there, letting the hot water cascade down his body, relishing every second.
When he finally stepped out, the bathroom was transformed into a miniature sauna, thick with mist.
Plopping down on the toilet and leaning back, he pulled up the shop on his screen, his gaze clouded with a frown.
Ricky hadn't bought much from the shop since none of the items or skills had really caught his attention.
But he knew he should be taking better advantage of the system and its rewards, but to do that, though, he'd have to up his game, push himself to new heights.
'God, when did I become such a picky b*tch?' Ricky lamented, crossing his arms as he stared at the shop screen.

*Sigh*
'Just give me Enthralling Voice.' Ricky muttered with a sigh, slicking back his wet hair, before he strode out of the bathroom, only to be met by a lustful sight.
"Hey, big boy." Lilith lounged on Ricky's bed, a smirk tugging at her lips.
Ricky raised an eyebrow, but when his eyes caught sight of her completely naked form, he tossed his towel aside without a second thought.
"Sweet."
Outside his door, Rachael stood, her expression tense, though she tried to steel herself since she'd been avoiding Ricky for too long, and the reasons weighed on her.
At first, it had been guilt since she may have helped land the final blow, but it was Ricky who had carried the fight, accomplishing what she'd trained for relentlessly her whole life.
Beyond that, three years had passed with barely any real conversation between them; everything she'd said had been confined to training matters, nothing more.
Rachael had always kept Ricky at arm's length, offering him nothing but the cold shoulder whenever she could, all while becoming completely consumed by the obsession of killing Dracula.
But now, looking back, she felt shallow for only beginning to understand him after three years.
It hit her that she owed him more than just silence, she owed him the gratitude he deserved for putting up with her behavior all this time.
So Rachael took a deep breath, steadying herself as she knew she had to apologize, to finally acknowledge her behavior and make things right.
'Don't be afraid, it's time to give the appropriate thanks.' Rachael resolved herself as she opened the door.
"Ricky I-oh my god!" Rachael opened the door only to see Lilith on top of Ricky, covering her eyes, rushing out the door, and slamming it behind her.
*BAM*
"Hey, Rachael-" Ricky began, popping his head out the door, but before he could say more, Lilith yanked him back, her limbs wrapping around him.
Ricky's focus instantly shifted as he found himself once again captivated by the naked woman in his embrace.
"She can wait~" Lilith bit her lip, drawing her finger all the way down his chest before cupping his balls.
"You know what, she can wait." Ricky also agreed, shutting the door as Lilith's smile extended across her face.
15 minutes later,
"Oh Ricky~"
"Oh Ricky!"
"OH RICKY~"
"OH, RICKY!" Lilith screamed, her voice dripping with intensity, as Rachael stood frozen on the other side of the door.
Never in her life had she witnessed such a display of lust, and it left the stone-cold wolf feeling flushed and unsettled.
A moment later, Lilith casually opened the door, strutting past Rachael with a teasing lick of her lips and a wink as she let out a mocking chuckle before walking by, her confidence evident in every step.
"Hey Rachael what are you-"
"How dare you commit such vile acts before marriage, especially with a horrid vampire, you heathen!" Rachael blurted, her face flushed with fury as she pointed an accusing finger at Ricky as he simply stared at her, a mix of confusion and surprise on his face.
"Uhhhhh?" Ricky blinked, his mind trying to process her words.
It left Ricky confused because there had been numerous times when Rachael had walked in on him sticking his tongue down Agatha's throat, and it never seemed to faze her before.
Yet here she was, storming off, as if Ricky hadn't already been tangled up in far more complicated matters, until he suddenly covered his mouth, unsure of what to say, and watched her go.
'Wait, it can't be-.....is she jealous that I'm getting it on with a busty vampire?' Ricky paused, a thought suddenly clicking in his mind and as the realization set in.
So full of himself after a serving of Lilith, he couldn't help but break into a sleazy grin as he walked out of the room.
"Hey Rachael-"
*BOOM*
Ricky opened his mouth to deliver a cheesy remark, but before he could get the words out, Rachael ripped a chunk of the wall from its foundation and hurled it at him.
The rock collided with his forcefield, shattering on impact, sending a cloud of dust into the air.
As the dust settled, Ricky was left standing there, a stupid grin plastered on his face, while Rachael had already stormed off, leaving him to contemplate the absurdity of it all.
"She's totally jealous," Ricky muttered to himself, laughing as he strolled down the hallway with an exaggerated swagger.
However, his confidence faltered when he turned the corner and came face to face with Asterion, who had Garfield lazily nestled on his arm and Alexander proudly hopping around on his shoulder.
"HOW DARE YOU STRIP ME FROM THE GLORIOUS GAME KNOWN AS POKER!" Alexander roared in Asterion's ears, his tiny form vibrating with indignation.
The big burly minotaur sighed heavily, clearly still getting used to this gerbil's antics, before his eyes landed on Ricky.
"Ah, Ricky, it's good to see you in full health," Asterion said, his deep voice warm as he walked over and gave Ricky a hearty pat on the shoulder.
At the same time, Alexander quickly scurried up to Asterion's head, waving his tiny paws in frustration at being ignored.
"Ricky, why did you never tell me how amazing this marvelous game called Poker is?" Alexander asked, his eyes wide with newfound excitement.
His obsession with Go Fish was quickly evolving into a full-blown gambling addiction, and Ricky could almost see the gleam of future bad decisions forming in this gerbil's beady little eyes.
"Uh, I guess you never asked." Ricky replied with a raised eyebrow, clearly puzzled by the sudden intensity in Alexander's voice.
"I thought you only liked go fish-"
"That is true, but I have been ensnared, Ricky! And I must quench this thirst!" Alexander declared dramatically, his tiny paws flailing in the air as he hopped from one foot to the other.
Ricky rubbed his chin, clearly deep in thought as this could be problematic, but then again, he wasn't exactly surprised after how crazy attached he was to go fish.
"Then let's go gambling—wait, you should ease off a bit." Ricky was about to continue, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his gaze sharpening as he up at Alexander resting on Asterion's shoulder.
"You can watch me play but no playing yourself-"
"THIS IS BLASPHEMY!" Alexander shrieked, his tiny claws scratching Ricky's cheek as he pushed him away in outrage.
"It's this or nothing, choose." Ricky's tone was firm, his gaze steady as he looked at Alexander.
Ricky could see the seed of a dangerous addiction starting to grow in the gerbil's eyes, and he wasn't about to let it spiral out of control without it being under his watch.
"Very well, but at least allow me one hand to play."
"Deal."
It was then that a gentleman's agreement formed between the two as Ricky extended his hand with a small, knowing grin, while Alexander took it with a huff.
"Hey Asterion, I gotta make good on my promise and show you some fun." Ricky smirked, nudging the mighty Asterion who showed slight surprise but nodded nonetheless.
"I await our glorious adventure."
15 minutes later,
"A rundown tavern?" Asterion asked curiously, watching as Ricky sniffed out a dilapidated bar in Transylvania.
Dracula had long since wiped out the humans in the surrounding villages and initially, the area had been intended as his livestock grounds, but the upkeep had proven less efficient than simply hunting for prey.
They were supposed to be playing along with the vampires Alexander had found himself involved with, but it seemed that killing Dracula had made the other vampires incredibly uncomfortable but regardless of their opinions on Ricky, they all hastily retreated.
"Yeah, let's get celebratory wasted!" Ricky exclaimed, eager to have a good time with Asterion and the others.
*Bam*
Kicking the old door open, instead of a desolate bar he found out that it was occupied with a lone figure.
"Who goes there?" The figure asked out, walking out the shadows to reveal an old figure with an eyepatch and gimp leg.
"Uh Asterion, I clearly remember you saying there wasn't anyone in this rundown town." Ricky turned back to Asterion who walked in and squinted his eyes upon seeing the old man.
"I did." Asterion looked just as confused as Ricky, scratching the top of his head.
"Cease the delays Ricky, our game is still afoot." Alexander commanded on Ricky's shoulder, pointing forward while Garfiled sighed at the side lightly.
"Names O'malley and I'm the last remaining citizen of this old town-"
"No, you're lying." Ricky immediately interjected into the man's backstory as he froze, his lie detection skill reacting almost instantaneously.
"I'm not lying-"
"No, he's really lying." Ricky turned to Asterion who nodded his head, the minotaur trusting in Ricky's words while squinting.
"Listen I-"
*SIGH*
*Snap*
"You two are no fun." The man snapped his fingers, his body morphing into that familiar figure that made Ricky frown.
"Mephisto." Ricky and Asterion both said in unison, looking at each other without even knowing if the other knew him.
"Correct. And, if I may say, Asterion, it's truly a pleasure to see you in the flesh once more," Mephisto remarked, appearing beside the minotaur.
Asterion shoved the demon back, but Mephisto spun gracefully, making it seem as though the push had no effect at all.
"And look at this brimming young talent," Mephisto said, flashing a devilish grin.
"A face I haven't yet placed, but from that little one's words, your true name is Ricky." Mephisto rubbed his hands together in delight, watching Ricky scow, his expression darkening.
Though he planned to unveil himself to the world as the Black Knight, he wasn't ready to do so without proper preparation.
However, after his conversation with Abraham about Mephisto, he could tell that he was ready to tug at this thread, intending to pull as much from it as possible to further his own agenda.
"Hey, Mephisto, want to make a deal?" Ricky said suddenly, catching both Asterion and Mephisto off guard.
"Ricky, don't-" Asterion reached out, but the demon was quicker, appearing instantly at Ricky's side while sliding an arm around him, Mephisto began leading him away.
"Of course!" Mephisto replied cheerfully, steering Ricky aside, isolating him as Ricky eyed the cunning demon warily.
"Hey, strange request, I know, but before we talk, mind if I get something to, you know, to wet my whistle?" Ricky asked, having come here with one thing on his mind: a drink.
*Snap*
"You're just in luck since I happen to have some Hellwine." Mephisto said, guiding Ricky to a nearby table and conjuring a bottle with a flourish.
"We can share-"
Ricky interrupted Mephisto by snatching the bottle, swiftly tearing the cork off. His inner alcoholic craved the sweet, deceptive taste of the infernal liquid.
*Gulp*
*Gulp*
"Ricky-" Mephisto began, but Ricky held up a finger, silencing him as he continued to drink.
"Well, Mephisto, it's certainly a sight to see you again," Asterion said, taking a seat beside them. His eyes were fixed on the demon, his wariness and disdain unmistakable.
"Ah~" Ricky let out a refreshed sigh, wiping his mouth and putting down the already half drunk bottle of wine.
"How do you two know each other, anyway?" Ricky asked, glancing between Mephisto and Asterion as the demon immediately adjusted his collar, a flicker of discomfort crossing his face.
"Well we-"
"He's the one who blackmailed my friend after getting the blueprints to the maze that kept me safe from the world," Asterion said, his cold gaze locking onto Mephisto as the demon nervously adjusted his collar, though he maintained his composure.
"Asterion, how many times must I apologize for such-"
"Until your throat bleeds in penance." Asterion raised his gaze, Ricky surprised while whistling towards Mehpisot.
"Man, he f*cking hates you~" Ricky hummed out, laughing before flinching as he gazed at this hell wine.
"Holy sh*t, this stuff is strong." Ricky hiccuped inbetween, already buzzed after merely drinking half of it.
"Anyhow Ricky, I-"
"Alright here's the deal, we're going to play three hands of draw poker and if you win then I'll tell you everything you want to know about me." Ricky suddenly leaned back in his chair, Mephisto's breath shuttering.
Unbeknownst to Ricky, his information was highly coveted in the world of information merchants.
The death of Dracula had sent unforeseen ripples across the world, leaving many with more questions than answers.
Yet, at the center of it all stood Ricky, alive and holding the answers.
Everyone wanted something from him: to know his story, to recruit him, or to find ways to eliminate the new Black Knight.
Even just learning his name would grant Mephisto immense benefits, but the true treasure lay in Ricky's past.
His life story held untapped riches, secrets, and power that Mephisto desperately desired to claim for himself so that he could sell them.
"Ricky, you should think this through." Alexander urged, quickly hopping onto the table. But Ricky shook his head.
"He already knows my name, and if everything Abraham said about him is true, he'll figure out my identity whether I like it or not," Ricky sighed, running his hands through his hair as he really didn't want to deal with this, not after everything he'd just gone through.h.
Alexander opened his mouth to refute, but then realized it was his own fault for revealing Ricky's name. He fell silent, retreating to the side.
"Are you sure trading some of your other treasures wouldn't sweeten the pot? This pendant, for instance, is among my favorites." Mephisto said, pulling out the lorestone pendant; something Ricky considered nothing more than trash.
"I cannot believe a renaissance civilization like Cortaj would fall due to internal conflict, resulting from their artistic beliefs, truly a beautiful demise." Mephisto mused, holding the pendant close to his heart as Ricky raised an eyebrow, clearly having forgotten about the pendant.
"Maybe afterwards but let's stick to what you're going to give me when I win." Ricky spread out his arms along with a smile.
"Oh, I'm also intrigued as to what I'll give you." Mephisto chuckled, his eyes narrowing as he leaned in closer.
"You're going to tell me everything I want to know about the internal powers and their backgrounds within Nazi Germany." Ricky said, surprisingly direct as Mephisto let out a cackling laugh in response, clearly amused by the boldness of the request.
"Such information is not equal to your identity, Ricky," Mephisto smiled, already using his first name.
The demon watched with amusement as Ricky drank more of the Hellwine, noticing the crescent moons forming in his eyes as the liquid worked its way through him.
"Is that so?" Ricky asked, his tone curious. Mephisto, unfortunately, nodded in response. Ricky sighed before standing up.
"Then it can't be helped. I guess I'll have to reveal my identity when I head back to the Vatican, before you can figure it out yourself." Ricky turned away, and Mephisto continued nodding, until the demon's entire body suddenly froze, stiff as a statue.
"Let's go everyone-"
"W-What do you mean reveal your identity?!" Mephisto laughed out, clearly trying to reel back his anxious expression.
"Well, I was going to reveal my identity anyway, but I'd rather do it on my own terms than have you spoil it." Ricky said, a hint of petty satisfaction in his voice as Mephisto, a little taken aback, watched as the black knight turned to walk out.
"How about we trade and-"
*BAM*
Asterion suddenly punched Mephisto, sending the demon flying out of the bar as he huffed through his nostrils, clearly agitated, as Ricky, Garfield, and Alexander exchanged confused looks.
"I-I apologize," Asterion muttered, rubbing the back of his neck while ducking his head.
"It was like when a human swats a flea, I couldn't help myself." Asterion sighed, having tried to hold back but failing to do so.
"Well, that was rude," Mephisto remarked, standing up and brushing the dust off his clothes.
Without missing a beat, he walked back through the hole that had been made in his body, as though nothing had happened.
"Anywho, let's not get hasty Ricky, we can of course make a deal-"
"But I don't want to anymore," Ricky shrugged, continuing to walk away.
Though this disruption had thrown a wrench in his plans, he knew he could always make new ones.
Things like interruptions or slight setbacks were annoying, but Ricky truly didn't care and deep down, he always believed that everything would work out for him in the end.
"Okay, okay, okay, how about I tell you about the internal power-"
"No."
"Then how about I tell you about the main figures-"
"No."
"Alright, fine, wait!" Mephisot, increasingly angered that everything wasn't going his way, yelled out causing everyone to stop.
It was incredibly petty, but Mephisto knew, deep down, that it would take him a week or two to properly figure out who Ricky really was, and everything that came with him.
In that time, Ricky would have already revealed his identity to the world, and Mephisto would have lost everything he hoped to gain from uncovering Ricky's background.
"Fine, I'll trade you all you desire for your detailed background on the condition you don't-"
"No." Ricky laughed, clearly enjoying Mephisto's frustrated expression as he took another swig of the Hellwine.
'Man this is good sh*t.' Ricky thought, a little surprised at how fulfilling the wine was.
*SIGH*
"Fine, I'll play you for the information if we use my cards-"
"No, we're using mine." Ricky pulled out a deck of cards from his back pocket, though they had actually come from the system.
Mephisto frowned at Ricky's stubbornness, holding out his hands. Ricky placed the cards into his grasp, but not without raising an eyebrow, sensing something was off.
"These are normal cards?" Mephisto asked, clearly surprised, as he couldn't detect anything unusual about the deck.
"I know, that's why I want to use my cards," Ricky shrugged, holding back a smile as he pointed toward the deck.
Mephisto squinted his eyes, sensing there was something more to this than met the eye.
"Fine, but regardless, I would still like to inquire about items akin to the pendant, regardless of who wins or loses. Deal?" Mephisto held out his hand as Ricky strolled up and grabbed it, his grip firm as he nodded in agreement.
"Deal."
"Then let's play some cards."
Mephisto turned around, his hands glowing red as he infused energy into the cards before setting them down on the nearby table as Ricky strolled over to it, his gaze focused on the deck.
"Would you care for another refill of Hellwine?" Mephisto asked, conjuring up another bottle.
Ricky took a sip before he could change his mind, the warm liquid burning down his throat.
Smiling at Ricky's reckless nature, Mephisto flashed a sly grin and Asterion, on the other hand, wore a disgusted expression, cradling Garfield in his arms as the cat nestled into a deep sleep.
Alexander sat perched on Asterion's shoulder, looking rather unimpressed by the scene unfolding.
"Will Ricky preserve?" Alexander asked, glancing at Asterion who was still glaring hatefully at Mephisto.
"The only thing I know for sure is that nothing is ever, as the humans say, 'cut and dry' with him." Asterion gaze remained fixed on Mephisto, who gestured toward Ricky, now finishing the last remnants of the first bottle of Hellwine.
"Would you care to deal or would you allow me?" Mephisto asked, Ricky taking the cards and dealing them out.
"I'll do it," Ricky said, dealing five cards to each player, one by one, until they both had their hands.
Ricky studied his cards before discarding two, while Mephisto hadn't yet looked at his own as he leaned back confidently, a sly smile curling on his lips.
"You know, Ricky, you remind me of Abraham in a way," Mephisto remarked, watching him carefully as Ricky raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious.
"I've been told," Ricky replied, a hint of discomfort in his voice as he'd always been compared to the old man, but in truth, they were alike in their own unique brand of sh*ttiness.
"Would you care to add to the pot?" Mephisto asked, pulling out a gleaming gold bar, the weight of it making the stakes feel even higher.
*Thump*
Dropping it on the table, it made a loud thud as Mephisot curiously inquired as to what Ricky would bet as the demon smiled widely.
"I didn't think you'd want to bet in between-"
"Would it be draw poker otherwise?" Mephisto smiled, his sharp teeth glinting in the dim light as Ricky stood up, eyeing the gold bar with a calculated gaze.
"Give me a second." Ricky said, rolling up his sleeve as the tattoo of the dark key manifested, and a swirl of black mist rose, taking form before him.
As Ricky walked into the storage, Mephisto instinctively moved to follow, but he was abruptly stopped, slamming into an invisible barrier.
Since Ricky hadn't given him permission, Mephisto found himself trapped at the helm, only able to watch through the transparent shield, his eyes narrowing in frustration.
The area was vast, and Mephisto's eyes widened as he took in the sheer magnitude of the treasures Ricky had accumulated. He was shocked, more so than he'd anticipated.
Trying to force his way through the barrier, Mephisto put all his power into breaking the invisible gate.
But the more he pressed against it, the more he was pushed back, as if the barrier was feeding off his frustration.
Ricky eventually returned, walking back with a couple of gold bars in hand as he saw Mephisto already sitting back down, his posture tight with irritation.
With a shrug, Ricky plopped down in his seat, dropping one of his own gold bars onto the table, his nonchalant demeanor a stark contrast to the demon's growing frustration.
"Raise." Ricky spoke coolly, his eyes steady as Mephisto leaned forward on the table, his grin widening into an intrusive smile.
"How is it you always surprise me, Ricky? First with my dazzling pendant, and now that space. I must know your secrets." Mephisto snickered, though his gaze remained sharp, calculating, as if studying every movement Ricky made.
"For free?" Ricky asked, raising an eyebrow in mock confusion and Mephisto shook his head, his fingers rubbing together in a slow, deliberate motion.
"Of course not." Mephisto replied, his tone smooth and knowing.
"I can tell you aren't that type of man. And I'd be willing to reward you for such information." Mephisto finally turned his cards over, his confident smile almost faltering as he gazed at what lay before him.
The demon's eyes flickered with momentary surprise, but he quickly masked it with a sharp, calculating expression.
Mephisto looked at his hand; Jack, two, seven, three, and six, and for a moment, his expression faltered.
The demon lord had expected something more, something better since the cards didn't align with his cunning plan.
The demon's fingers almost twitched as he stared at them, trying to suppress his frustration.
On the surface, he maintained a calm front, his smile still in place, but inside, he was in turmoil.
Mephisto had subtly manipulated the deck, adding his signature touch to ensure a winning hand: a four of a kind.
But the cards had betrayed him, offering nothing close to what he had hoped for.
His eyes flickered to Ricky, who was sitting there with an almost unreadable expression as it was clear now that Ricky had been playing a deeper game than Mephisto had anticipated.
'He dealt to me first, just as I expected, yet these are not the cards that were supposed to be conjured. He must be cheating.' Mephisto concluded, tapping the table casually before discarding all but the Jack.
"Bad hand?" Ricky asked, raising a brow as he slid four new cards to Mephisto and drew three for himself, while Mephisto simply smiled in response.
"Well, it wasn't exactly a good one," Mephisto replied, his tone lacking its usual nuance as he accepted the cards but his confidence wavered again when he glanced down.
A four, five, eight, and nine joined his solitary Jack, leaving him with little to work with as Mephisto let out a chuckle, masking his irritation.
"I'd like to raise the pot." Ricky placed a brass telescope onto the table, its polished surface gleaming under the dim light.
Mephisto's gaze narrowed, a spark of intrigue flickering in his eyes as he took in the new addition.
"This baby can-"
"Gaze through any illusion," Mephisto murmured, nearly able to guess its enchantment, which piqued Ricky's curiosity.
The demon's eyes had shifted, narrow slits glowing red as he honed in on Ricky's cards.
But before he could act further, Asterion pulled up a chair right beside him, his gaze firmly locked onto Mephisto.
Reluctantly, the demon dispelled the power in his eyes, grumbling under his breath at the interruption.
"Are you going to meet my bet or fold?" Ricky asked, a sly smile playing at his lips as he tilted his head.
"Fold." Mephisto chuckled lightly, placing his cards on the table but as Ricky reached for the deck, the demon's hand darted out to stop him.
"May I deal this round?" Mephisto asked with a pleasant smile as Ricky gave a casual shrug and handed the deck over, watching the demon's every move with a hint of intrigue.
"Thank you." Mephisto nodded politely, watching Ricky pull away his twenty gold bars as he leaned back with a satisfied grin.
Mephisto began shuffling the deck with practiced elegance, the cards moving smoothly between his fingers, while Asterion's sharp gaze tracked his every movement and yet, the demon remained calm, his expression unreadable.
Ricky watched closely as he was dealt five cards, fingers tapping thoughtfully on the table as he paused before lifting them, then leaned back, his face betraying nothing.
"All in," Ricky declared, a grin playing on his lips as he took a sip of hell wine, sliding every last chip and trinket he had on the table. Mephisto raised a brow, tilting his head in mild surprise.
"Are you sure you don't want to check your cards first?" Mephisto asked, a hint of amusement in his tone as Ricky glanced at his face-down cards, then shook his head confidently.
"Nah." Ricky replied with a shrug, settling back in his seat while downing another sip of the Hell wine.
Mephsito nodded, discarding two cards before taking them, slightly glancing to Ricky who was completely uncaring.
"Hmmmm, then would this suffice as a raise?" Mephisto placed a glimmering green stone on the table with a delicate motion, his expression laced with mischief.
"An emerald?" Ricky tilted his head, raising a brow, only for Mephisto to chuckle, his laughter tinged with arrogance.
"This is a Norn Stone, a direct gateway into Asgard," Mephisto said, gesturing to the glowing emerald with a dramatic flair as Ricky tilted his head, then shrugged nonchalantly.
With a casual motion, Ricky plopped the telescope onto the table like it was nothing more than trash, his gaze now fixed on the strange, glimmering stone.
"Alright, ready?" Ricky asked, about to flip his cards with a nonchalant expression.
Mephisto, however, couldn't resist his greedy glance at the telescope, eyes narrowing in interest as he watched Ricky's next move.
"Straight, flush," Mephisto declared, revealing his hand. Asterion squinted, carefully observing, making sure not to be too flashy in his reactions to avoid any suspicion of cheating.
Mephisto laid down the five, six, seven, eight, and nine of diamonds, a beautiful straight flush as Ricky raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by the hand.
"Ah, ah, ah, no take backs—" Mephisto began to reach for his cards, only for Ricky to raise an eyebrow and stop him mid-motion.
"I was only surprised at the coincidence," Ricky replied casually, then shamelessly laid down a diamond royal straight flush.
Mephisto was left utterly gobsmacked, his usual confidence slipping as he stared at the hand in front of him.
"I mean, what are the odds?" Ricky laughed, snickering to himself as he watched Mephisto's already flushed face grow even redder.
"Thanks for the stone though." Ricky then picked up the stone, curiously admiring it.
"Asterion, you think this is worth a pretty penny?" Ricky asked the minotaur, who couldn't suppress a wide grin as he looked at Mephisto's frozen, stunned expression.
"You cheated, I know that you cheated because-" Mephisot immediately accused, pointing his finger at him with a glimmer of red in his eyes.
"You cheated?" Ricky interrupted, tilting his head as Mephisto quickly masked his next words with a forced laugh as he leaned back, casually observing the demon.
"We shook on playing a hand of cards. Nowhere in your words did you specify that neither of us could cheat. If I did cheat, which you can't prove, that's just part of the game." Ricky shrugged nonchalantly, the demon's gaze fixed on him with an intensity that only deepened.
Mephisto wanted to counter, but he had deliberately left out any stipulations about cheating, ensuring that once he won, Ricky couldn't protest.
Now, however, he found himself in the metaphorical shoes that Ricky was meant to wear, caught in his own trap, unable to escape the consequences of his actions as Asterion peered over his shoulder.
"Yeah, didn't think I'd catch that little slip-up, did you?" Ricky wiped his chin, a smirk playing on his lips as Mephisto's underestimation only seemed to make him more smug.
"Who are you anyway?" MMephisto crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes while Ricky looked over to Asterion.
"I wouldn't advise spilling any more information, demons are very tricky and always find a way to form or find a loophole." Asterion said, holding up his hand, and Ricky nodded.
"You'll find out eventually but right now, uphold your end of the deal and tell me what I want to know."
Mephisto frowned as he gazed at Asterion standing beside Ricky as he knew any tricks he tried to pull would be swiftly rooted out by the minotaur, forcing him to bite the bullet.
"There is a humans saying that says what goes around-"
"Comes around, whatever. Cough up what you know." Ricky waved his hand dismissively, Mephisto clearly displeased by the similarity to Abraham.
"Fine, there are currently four organizations at the centerfold of the Nazi campaign that is propping up Hitler," Mephisto sighed, clicking his tongue slightly as he leaned back in his seat.
"Currently, they are Hydra, Thule Society, Hellfire Club, and the Berlin Continental." Mephisto revealed, Ricky scrunching his brows at this since he still had the card hsi pops gave to him.
"For Hydra, Wolfgang Von Striker-"
Wolfgang Von striker, born in the twilight years of the 19th century, hailed from an old Prussian noble line that had retreated to the ancestral Strucker Castle in Bavaria after the Franco-Prussian War.
As a young man, he emerged as a fencing champion at Heidelberg, a prodigy known for both his fierce precision and ruthless flair.
His face bore deep scars, marks of honor from his duels, that mirrored the hardened, grim visage of the rising Nazi elite.
During World War I, Wolfgang fought for Germany, enduring the brutal trenches and relentless battles. In 1916, he encountered the mysterious artifact known as the Momentary Princess, an object rumored to appear and vanish at fixed intervals through time.
The moment he touched it, a vision unfolded, a glimpse of his future that planted the seeds of his destiny.
This fateful encounter set him on a path toward Hydra, as he became convinced that its power held the key to realizing the vision he had seen.
"Strucker's actions during that period were buried deep within Hydra's shadows for the next two decades." Mephisto chuckled darkly, his mouth nearly watering at the thought of yet another world war.
"But the intriguing part? Is what happened when the Nazi Party clawed its way from the rubble of defeated Germany." Mephisto laughter was laced with anticipation, already savoring the spoils he'd claimed from the last war and eager for the chaos to come.
"When the Nazi Party emerged, Strucker was one of its founding members. And the best part? He'd risen to the rank of a Hydra leader." Mephisto remarked, almost in admiration.
"Quite a feat for a mere mortal, with neither remarkable power nor distinctive traits." Mephisto spoke and when he did, there was a hint of grudging respect in his voice, acknowledging the sheer cunning it took for a man with no inherent gifts to ascend to such influence.
"The only catch," Mephisto continued, a sly smile tugging at his lips.
"Is that Strucker's position within Hydra is directly tethered to the Nazi Party. So, if the Nazis fall, he falls with them." Mephisto chuckled, relishing the irony of Strucker's precarious power.
"All his efforts hinge on a single, brittle thread and if they crumble, so does he. These types of power dynamics are so fun to watch rise then fall." Mephisto smiled widely, relishing the era he was living in to its fullest degree.
"For Thule Society-"
*Sigh*
"Honestly, the Thule Society is an organization composed of rejects." Mephsito sighed, leaning his head on his hand while clearly uninterested in this topic.
"Essentially, the Thule Society-"
The occultist order that would later be known as the Thule Society traces its roots to an ancient, nameless lineage of sorcerer-scientists casted out from their own orders, predating and outlasting the cultures that birthed them.
Driven by a singular purpose, they sought to rise above mortality itself, wielding the forces of life and death as they pursued their vision of godlike power.
For nearly 6,000 years, they explored paths to immortality and manipulated every sphere of human existence; history, politics, science, and magic alike.
The Thule Society, now bearing the Nazi insignia on their shoulders, has shifted its focus to a new pursuit: the acquisition of ancient artifacts.
Their ideology has evolved, holding that true power and the key to eternal victory, and perhaps even eternal life, lie within mystical relics scattered across the world.
These objects, they believe, contain unimaginable forces that could transcend conventional warfare and lift them beyond mortal limitations.
Their relentless search has become an obsession, rooted in the belief that these enchanted artifacts will secure not only the Nazi vision but their own ascendance over time and fate itself.
Even now, they have disguised themselves as archaeologists, scattering across the globe to excavate and uncover these mystical artifacts.
"For the Hellfire Club, well, they are a fairly new order of wealthy and elite mutants, their agendas centered around strengthening their own power." Mephisto mused, a wicked smile curving his lips as he reveled in the shift to a topic he found far more entertaining.
The Hellfire Club traces its origins to 18th-century England, where it began as an exclusive society for the British elite, a space where influential figures could indulge in pleasures beyond the moral norms of their time and quietly consolidate their hold on economic and political power.
Rather than overt conquest or domination, the club's ambition lies in wielding influence behind the scenes, steering events through political maneuvering and economic leverage.
Throughout history, they have been linked to wars, discreet assassinations, and shifting alliances.
Governed by an elusive Inner Circle, the club's leadership structure follows the pieces of a chessboard, with its most powerful members assuming titles like Black King and White Queen, followed by trusted subordinates, the Black and White Bishops and Knights.
"However, out of the four heads that dub themselves the Black and White, king and queens; only three have dipped their hands within the pond of the Nazi party." Mephisto raised his four fingers with his long nails protruding upwards.
"The first is the Black King, Sebastion Shaw." Mephisto lowered a finger, his eyes forming crescent moons at this particular figure.
Sebastian Shaw is a mutant with the ability to absorb nearly any form of energy, converting it into immense physical strength.
He can channel this stored power into a devastating punch, an explosive release through touch, or even a ground-shaking stomp, making him a formidable force in any confrontation.
Shaw's involvement within the party is for pure selfish reasons which revolves around further his own power within the financial world and his own mutant power.
In the financial world, Sebastian Shaw controls a network of prisons and newly established 'concentration camps' under an alias, exploiting a free labor force to mass-produce goods that he sells at exorbitant markups.
By leveraging these prisoners as pawns in his wider game, he steadily accumulates wealth and influence, strengthening his grip over both economic and political landscapes.
Shaw's hunger for power is insatiable, his ambitions driving him relentlessly upward in pursuit of new heights and greater strength.
"The second is the White King, a title that seems to pass to a new mutant every year, currently held by Nathaniel Essex." Mephisto lowered another finger, shrugging indifferently at this one.
"Much like Shaw, Essex is obsessed with advancing the mutant gene, a process he calls the Essex Factor." Mephisto displayed clear boredom with this topic, letting out a soft sigh.
Nathaniel Essex is posing as a scientist, conducting biological experiments on children under the guise of curing diseases, all while secretly advancing his research on the Essex Factors.
Earning the nickname 'Nosferatu' from the captive children at Auschwitz due to his ghostly pale skin, Essex found the camps a grimly convenient source for genetic samples.
He lured the children with candy, offering it in exchange for small vials of their blood, a twisted form of bribery that allowed him to collect samples unnoticed and further his dark experiments.
"However, he's rather dull, spending all his time locked away in a lab, staring at blood samples." Mephisto sighed lightly, flicking some lint off his sleeve.
"Now for the queens; the first being the white queen, Emma frost." Mephisto's intrigue sparked once more, lowering another finger.
Emma Frost was born into a prominent Boston mercantile family, descended from English settlers who arrived in the 1600s and played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War.
A family dispute pushed Emma Frost into a life she never imagined, stripping, which eventually led her to cross paths with Sebastian Shaw.
It's said that one of Shaw's associates made the fatal mistake of going too far, leaving him brain dead as a result.
Rather than seek revenge, Shaw saw potential in her and invited her into his world, into the Hell fire club.
Over the years, Frost steadily climbed through the ranks, her competition mysteriously disappearing one by one, until she finally became the White Queen.
Now, she runs an information network, one that pales in comparison to Mephisto's, providing the Nazis with vital intelligence for a hefty price.
"However, the last leader, the Black Queen, and arguably the most dangerous member, Selene Gallio, isn't interested in the war in a sense." Mephisto lowered his last finger, his gaze shifting to Ricky, who recalled the name, having been warned about her by Abraham.
"Selene doesn't truly care for material wealth but instead, power in its purest form." Mephisto's eyes formed crescent moons as he looked at Ricky sipping on the hellwine.
"Selene is what some call a collector, having built a large repertoire of powerful mutants under her hidden country." Mephisto then crossed his fingers, his smile growing wider as he looked at Ricky.
"And now, I've heard she's set her covetous eyes on you," Mephisto's eyes darkened as his smile stretched across his face, but Ricky simply crossed his arms, unfazed.
"Anyhow, let's finally talk about the juiciest one; the Berlin Continental, which has been run by the Zemo family for generations." Mephisto's smile widened, practically giddy with excitement, fully aware of the drastic repercussions.
The Berlin Continental was more than just a luxury hotel; it was the nerve center of Europe's most clandestine and dangerous underworld dealings.
Established in the early 12th century, it had become a legend in its own right, not just for its opulence but for the power and influence that coursed through its marble halls.
Operated by the Zemo family for generations, it served as both a haven and a battleground for the criminal elite.
Each Continental operates differently, tailored to its own unique environment, yet all are bound by the same overarching authority: the High Table.
While each Continental maintains its own distinct operations and rules, they all adhere to the unspoken neutrality demanded by the High Table, a delicate balance that has kept the underworld in check for generations.
Until now, that is.
Baron Heinrich Zemo has shattered the delicate balance of the underworld by committing an unforgivable act against the High Table.
In an unprecedented move, he has pledged his loyalty not only to the Nazi party but to the Berlin Continental itself, binding the establishment to a cause that directly opposes the principles of neutrality upheld by the High Table.
While it is not unheard of for a Continental to go rogue, history has shown that no one has ever escaped the wrath of the High Table.
Yet, oddly enough, the High Table remains eerily silent on the matter as whispers circulate that, behind closed doors, they are quietly preparing to eliminate the Berlin Continental, but for now, no official action has been taken.
"And that concludes our deal," Mephisto said, expecting some kind of reaction, perhaps a grand applause but instead, Ricky simply set the empty bottle of wine down with a quiet clink.
"That was a lot. Good thing Asterion remembered everything for me, right?" Ricky glanced over at Asterion, who nodded silently from the side.
"I have perfect recollection. I shall remember," Asterion reassured, dispelling any concerns as Ricky let out a relieved sigh.
"Good, cause this Hell wine is fucking me up. I mean, Jesus." Ricky glanced at the bottle, still on his second, yet already completely wasted.
"Speaking of Hell wine, care to continue our little game?" Mephisto asked, shuffling the cards from Ricky's inventory, his eyes briefly lingering on the empty wine bottle before returning to Ricky with a mischievous glint.
"Yeah, why not."
20 minutes later,
"H-How?" Mephisto stammered, his entire body shaking in shock and disbelief, as Ricky casually set twenty bottles of Hell wine into his inventory before retrieving one and popping off the cork.
"How could you possibly have gotten five royal flushes in a row?" Mephisto asked, looking up with a mixture of frustration and disbelief.
The hell spawn knew Ricky had cheated, but no matter how hard he searched, there was no way to prove it, Ricky's tricks were just too flawless seemingly trumping his own cheating.
"It has to be these cards, but it can't be-.....they're just regular cards, literally human cards." Mephisto stared at the Jack of Diamonds in his hands, his frown deepening.
Mephisto's eyes strained as he examined the card, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary playing card, nothing extraordinary about it.
In all honesty, Ricky had simply swapped the cards he wanted with others still in his inventory, a subtle sleight of hand that Mephisto couldn't even begin to fathom.
"Well, Mephisto, I know we agreed to trade, but let's put that off for another time cause I'm definitely not in any state to trade or even think straight." Ricky sighed, gently pulling the card from Mephisto's trembling fingers and pocketing it.
"B-But-"
*BAM*
The door slammed shut behind them, leaving Mephisto alone in the dimly lit tavern, surrounded by the empty bottles of Hellwine.
The demon stared at the mess before him, frustration boiling in his chest as the twenty bottles, all consumed in a futile attempt to decipher Ricky, and not a single piece of evidence to show for it.
The demon couldn't shake the gnawing sense of defeat, the unsettling feeling that he had been outplayed by someone who shouldn't have been able to outwit him.
"RICKYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Mephisto's roar echoed through the tavern, so loud and filled with rage that it could be heard even outside, sending birds scattering into the distance.
But Ricky, unfazed, continued down the trail, his steps steady and unhurried.
The night air was cool against his skin, and the chaos he had left behind seemed like a distant memory as he walked further away from the tavern, leaving Mephisto to stew in his frustration.
For the next few hours, Ricky wandered around the castle grounds, taking in the serene beauty of the landscape.
Asterion, Alexander, and Garfield walked alongside him, their laughter and lighthearted banter/quips filling the air.
There was no grand purpose to their stroll, no urgent mission or looming danger as it was simply a moment of shared enjoyment, a time for them to mess around and enjoy each other's company.
For Ricky, these small, unremarkable moments held a special significance, though he often didn't acknowledge it.
Ricky had spent so much of his life burdened by responsibilities, struggles, and the constant weight of his past, but in these fleeting moments, he was free.
He was allowed to simply be, to forget the looming disasters of his world and appreciate the simplicity of a carefree day.
As they walked along the winding trail, Ricky found himself taking slow, deliberate glances at the world around him; at the towering trees, the gentle flow of a nearby stream, and the distant peaks rising in the background.
These were the moments he rarely took time to savor, but now, in this fleeting calm, he allowed himself to be present.
In a depressing way, Ricky knew the journey ahead would demand more of him, there would be times when he had to rise to the occasion, but for now, he could pause, breathe, and simply be.
Somehow, Ricky found himself leaning over a stone ledge, his gaze lost in the sweeping vista before him.
The others had drifted away, and he hadn't noticed, too absorbed in the breathtaking view.
The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape, its rays stretching across the rugged terrain as it sank beneath the horizon.
"Why do you have to go back? What's so great about New York compared to being here with me?" Lilith's voice was soft, almost a whisper, as she appeared behind Ricky.
Lilith's delicate hands wrapped around him, and she rested her head gently on his back, her touch warm and inviting.
Ricky was completely sh*t faced at this moment, but even so and without warning, Ricky reached up and plucked a leaf from the air, his fingers brushing against it with a certain calmness.
"I'll give you everything, even all the sweet time you could ever ask for~" Lilith purred, her arms sliding around him as she drew him closer.
"Because I don't want to be a leaf anymore," Ricky murmured, the words feeling right as he stared at the leaf in his hand, then turned his gaze to Lilith.
It was as if in this moment, everything suddenly clicked in his mind, though he couldn't quite explain why.
"A leaf, huh?" Lilith asked incredulously, watching as Ricky rubbed the wilted, brownish-green leaf between his fingers.
"It was something my pops said to me before I left." Ricky said with a slight smile, his fingers gently rubbing the wilted leaf.
"He said, 'I thought you were supposed to be the roots of this family, but right now, you're just a leaf blowing in the wind.' I didn't get it at the time, but I actually get it now." Ricky glanced at the leaf, remembering Lucky's words clearly.
"For the longest time that I can even remember I've been like a leaf, being in people's lives for a season, taking what I need, and when it gets cold or the wind blows I'm just gone." Ricky then released the leaf, watching it fly along with the wind.
"I thought being on the move was what I wanted, f*cking around in the wind but now, I just don't think I want that anymore." Ricky chuckled, leaning on the terrace and gazing at the sun.
"Even now, even after everything I've done, I'm not even what I want to be since it feels like I'm just a branch." Ricky tried to find the words, but he knew that staying here would never let him be the roots Lucky wanted for him.
"I've learned the hard way that a branch is stronger than a leaf, sure," Ricky continued, his voice thoughtful, leaning his head on his hands.
"But I'm still figuring out what I want to be before I fully commit to any path. I had to test them out first, to see if any path could truly hold my weight. I might stick with this one for a few seasons, but I can't shake the feeling that if I keep going down this road, right here right now, I'll just break away when life gets tough." Ricky sighed, scratching his head, feeling like everything would be for nothing if he didn't go back to New York.
"What I want, what I truly want, is to go back to my roots," Ricky said with a newfound clarity, a laugh escaping him as the realization dawned.
"I want to go back to New York and be everything a root is." Ricky felt as if the weight that had been pressing on his chest seemed to lift as he spoke, the truth finally settling within him before sitting up.
"A root? What the hell is a root, Ricky?" Lilith asked, crossing her arms, her gaze fixed on him.
Ricky, with a crazed smile on his face, stared at the setting sun as everything Lucky had said to him suddenly clicked into place.
"Root people are very important to the whole f*cking tree because they don't do things to be seen. Their only wish is to support you and help you live a strong life, and even if you go through a difficult time, they will hold you up, and love you just the way you are." Ricky smiled at Lilith, walking over to the vampire who was caught off guard by the one person she didn't expect to throw down such metaphors.
"Listen Lilith, I know I can be really self-centered and a plain idiot at other times, but wherever you really need it, need me, I'll be there for you. This isn't going to be goodbye because I'm going to see you again, it's a promise." Ricky pulled Lilith close to him, wrapping his hands around her waist only for the vampire to turn her head and push away.
"W-Whatever, I only was using you for your power, don't get any idea's you manwhore." Lilith turned away, strutting out of the terrace with a reddened and blushing face.
Turning back to the low rising sun, Ricky had finally found what he wanted to be in this life as he closed his eyes for a moment.
Ricky wasn't perfect and it was clear, his imperfections shined brighter than all the things that made him so loveable.
Even if the entire world saw him as evil, Ricky didn't care.
Ricky's life had been filled with people who were rooted, people who stayed grounded no matter what, and he'd taken advantage of them at every turn.
But now, standing here, he hated himself more than ever after really thinking about it.
Like in his past life, there had always been people willing to give him fifth and sixth chances, yet time and time again, he'd ruined it all whenever things got tough.
Ricky wasn't going to be that guy anymore and looking back, he wasn't the old drunkard who couldn't even attend his own friend's funeral without skipping out mid-way, running away when it got cold like a leaf.
At that moment, Ricky made a promise to himself: he wasn't going to run from his people anymore.
Ricky was going to be the leader they deserved, he would face everything he had once fled from and finally become the man everyone knew he was capable of being.
"Ricky?" Rachael called softly, approaching after overhearing part of their conversation.
"Hey Rachael." Ricky laughed out, spreading out his arms at the surprise.
"What brings you to my moment of revelation?" Ricky asked with a smirk, as Rachael chuckled, clearly aware she'd overheard his conversation.
"Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow," Rachael said with a smile, stepping up beside him.
"Oh yeah?" Ricky asked, raising an eyebrow, wondering if he'd be looking at a future farmer in Nebraska.
"No, I'm not going to be a farmer, but that's the beauty of it, I don't know what I'm going to be," Rachael replied, her gaze drifting toward the sun.
For the first time in her life, she had nothing planned, no set path ahead, and yet that uncertainty made her smile.
"If you're ever in New York, give me a holler, and I'll show you around," Ricky said, nudging her gently.
Ricky leaned his head back, his eyes resting on her as the sunlight highlighted the scar on her face.
"You know, I'm proud of you." Rachael said suddenly, catching Ricky off guard as she turned to face him.
"I know it was never my place to judge," Rachael said, her voice softening in a downcasted way.
"But three years ago, all I saw was a coward, someone who just wanted to drop everything and run away." Rachael rubbed the side of her arm, watching Ricky's caught-off-guard expression, then gently tapped her cheek.
"But now I see a man who stands firm in his beliefs, unyielding even in the face of uncertainty," Rachael continued, her gaze steady on him with a warm smile.
"And I truly admire how much you've grown." Rachael noticed Ricky holding back a smile, trying not to let her words affect him too deeply, but she knew he needed to hear them.
"Three years ago, the old you wouldn't have risked your life in the face of uncertainty." Rachael said, her voice soft yet firm before taking a step forward.
"But you threw it all away to move forward." Rachael gently cupped his face with her hands, holding him there for a moment.
"You slayed Dracula, be proud of yourself-" Rachael chuckled, showing a warm smile before Ricky let the alcohol take the wheel and moved in.
Taking her lips into his own, Ricky couldn't stop himself as everything about that moment felt right.
To his surprise, Rachael leaned in, matching his intensity as their embrace was tangible, the warmth between them growing as the setting sun bathed them in a golden hue.
They held each other there on the terrace, savoring the silence, before slowly, reluctantly, breaking the kiss.
Their breaths mingled in the quiet space between them, eyes locked in a gaze filled with nothing but pure desire.
The world seemed to fade around them as the intensity of the moment consumed them both, their connection palpable in the lingering air.
"Do you wanna ride the train to-"
"Shhh, just come with me," Rachael whispered, not wanting Ricky to ruin the moment with some cheesy remark.
Rachael gently took his hand, leading him back into the bedroom and Ricky simply gave himself a playful shrug.
"Well, alright then."
