A message that had never appeared before. A message that I had been waiting for so desperately.
When I saw the notification that my skill level had increased, my feelings were neither joy nor disappointment, but rather, "Is this some kind of hentai game world?"
When I came to this world, the first thing I tried to figure out was whether this world was from a game or novel that I knew. First of all, there was a game-like system called the skill window, and there was also a place like a labyrinth that could appear in a novel.
However, when I looked into the names of major historical events and famous people, I concluded that this wasn't a world from any game or novel I knew. I tentatively concluded that this was not a fictional world, but a real one, and I had been living here for three years.
Then, I got a message that specifically said I had blocked my sexual sensation and was leveling up because of that?
This is a setting that would appear in a hentai novel or game.
Feeling uneasy for no reason, I opened my skill window, which had changed for the first time.
[The level of the Sensory Block skill has increased by 2.]
[The intensity of the senses that can be blocked has increased.]
[The duration of the Sensory Block has increased.]
[The range of the Sensory Block has increased.]
The first message indicated that the Sensory Block skill had been strengthened. The increased range and duration were common effects attached to debuff or buff skills. The increased intensity of the senses that could be blocked... could be seen as a kind of power increase.
A derivative skill has been created.
[Sensory Release Lv. 1] and [Sensory Amplification Lv. 1] have been acquired.
The next message showed that a new skill had been unlocked.
I had heard that among skills, there are rare ones that create derivative skills as they level up. But who would have thought the skill I had was one of those? I finally accepted this reality, and my joy gradually grew.
I almost cheered without realizing it, recalling the past that had stagnated for three years.
[Your potential skill is unlocked.]
[Adaptation Lv. 1 skill is created.]
The message that appeared right after interrupted my cheering.
What the heck is this? Is this really a hentai game?
[Sensory Release: Lv. 1]: During the duration of sensory blocking, the target feels the senses without being aware of them. When the sensory blocking ends, the accumulated senses explode. (There is a limit.)
I roughly understood the newly created skill called [Sensory Release]. My previous [Sensory Block] skill completely suppressed the designated senses during its duration. But with this skill, the senses wouldn't disappear—they would accumulate until the skill ended, then be felt all at once.
It looks like it can be turned on and off, so it seems usable in its certain situations.
If I think of a more aggressive method, I could accumulate damage to an opponent whose senses are blocked and then release their senses to give them a huge shock in an instant.
Or... use it for something lewd?
Damn, I don't know if it's because of the skill message I just saw, but my head keeps going in that direction.
[Sensory Amplification Lv. 1]: While blocking a sense, amplify other senses that are not blocked. Or amplify the senses accumulated in [Sensory Release].
The second skill was better than I expected.
Strengthening senses? Just thinking about it, there are five senses, and if you look closely at those five senses, they are divided into several sub-senses. In addition, if you consider that there are senses like a "sixth sense" in this world, the possibilities of this skill are more endless than you think. Up until this point, it's all very positive…
[Adaptation Lv. 1]: You can gain experience through sexual intercourse. However, if you don't have sex for a certain period of time, your experience will gradually decrease.
-Additional Effect: Corrections are made in the sexual aspect. However, you will sometimes fall into the <Arousal> state or something.
This is the problem. A skill whose meaning I don't understand—why did it appear?
In this world, you gain experience for certain actions, those actions will appear as skills. Alternatively, you can learn new skills by being born with a special skill or by obtaining rare items from the 'Labyrinth.' But the [Adaptation] skill I acquired doesn't belong anywhere in those categories.
Furthermore, if you read the skill description, it seems as if this skill is the reason I haven't leveled up my skills or acquired any other skills in three years.
In other words, it seems like this skill had been the one I was missing all this time.
...If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to a brothel.
I never thought about it because I was saving money to enter the labyrinth someday.
Anyway, aside from the unsettling nature of this potential skill, I think I can be happy. No, [Adaptation] is also a really good skill if you don't consider the penalty with that strange <Arousal> state.
You can gain experience through sexual intercourse?
Since it's simply expressed as "experience," I'll have to test it to see how it applies to other skills, but the skill itself looks really good.
After organizing my skills, I once again saw the woman lying on the bed. If this woman hadn't been rubbing her chest with my hand while tossing and turning, my skills would have remained stagnant. This woman is truly my benefactor…
[Adaptation Lv. 1]: The <Arousal> status effect is activated. If not relieved through sexual intercourse, it will gradually become stronger.
What broke my thoughts was the system message that appeared before my eyes, my breathing that suddenly became rough, and my lower body that was getting tight.
"Um…!"
As she tossed and turned once more, the woman's chest in front of me became more emphasized as her clothes fell apart.
Before I knew it, I was in a state of trance, clutching the luscious fruit in front of me—the woman's chest.
As I touched her chest, I thought, 'Oh no.'
No matter how much this woman was sleeping, if I stimulated her chest like this, she would naturally wake up.
[Sensory Block Lv. 2] is in effect.
A system message appeared as if to reassure me. The skill cast on this woman was initially a Level 1 sensory blocking skill, but as the skill leveled up, a Level 2 sensory blocking skill was naturally cast.
If the skill level hadn't increased to 2, if the range and power hadn't grown, the woman would have immediately noticed the strange sensation and woken up.
The woman in front of me seemed to not feel anything. No, rather, she was sleeping quietly, breathing as if she was feeling good since she had been ticklish due to the curse a moment ago.
[Adaptation Lv. 1 Additional Effect: The name of the target being absorbed can be identified.]
[Target's name: Hessa Gray]
Then, the [Adaptation] skill activated, and the woman's name was revealed.
Anyway… Hessa, Hessa...
"Hessa, are you sleeping?"
Of course, there was no answer. She looked quite tired, so she must have slept deeply.
I tried to estimate the time by calculating when the priest had left. The nearby Temple of the Sun, where I usually go to receive holy water, is a 10-minute walk… no, about 15 minutes considering the priest's pace.
It takes about 5 minutes to go through the procedures at the temple and receive the holy water.
If you consider the time to return, it's about 35 minutes total.
If I roughly estimate that 20 minutes have passed since I cast the skill on Hessa and it took her to fall asleep while I figured out the skill, then I can assume there's about 10 minutes left until the priest returns.
No, let's not calculate the time, but think calmly.
I need to get this hand off her right now...
The abnormal status <Arousal> is in effect!
F***, I really like this.
Even though I'm not in my right mind right now due to various factors, I know that if I get caught in this situation, I'm screwed. Therefore, I have to be as careful as possible not to get caught. Let's think about it first.
First, I'll only touch the upper body and chest. Currently, the woman... Hessa has sensory block on her upper body to suppress the curse effect. If the skill level wasn't 2, the skill would have been applied only to the cursed area, and the range wouldn't have been enough to apply the skill to the chest.
Fortunately, as the skill leveled up, the cursed area (from shoulder to neck) and her chest were sufficiently activated by the skill. Another thing is that the power—that is, the sensations that the skill can block—has increased.
Just now, my hand moved before I could think because of the momentary arousal debuff, but fortunately, it seemed that the sensation of lightly kneading with my hand was blocked. However, I don't know how much the Level 2 blocking range is, so I'll just knead with the current level of intensity.
If I can't control my sexual desire for a moment and pinch her nipples, she'll wake up right away.
Ah, I really want to pinch her nipples, damn it. Calm down, myself.
Another thing to watch out for is what she hears. My skill isn't blocking what she hears right now. If I make a loud noise, Hessa will wake up right away. I have to move without making any noise. Hessa is especially sensitive to hearing because she's a Miao, or a beast person.
I really want to touch tnat shark tail of hers. Oh, please.
While keeping these things in mind, I was enjoying the sensation I was feeling in my hands. The clothes were tight on her body, so I could feel the texture with my hands. Surprisingly, she didn't even have underwear on, so I could feel the sensation of her areola and nipples a little when I touched them.
As soon as I felt it, I quickly moved my hands away, worried that the sensory block would be lifted. But I was fully appreciating this scenery with my eyes.
Hessa's chest clearly changed shape as I grabbed it, revealing a lustful appearance, but Hessa didn't feel anything and instead seemed to be falling into a deeper sleep, as her breathing became thinner.
And with the other hand, I pulled out my cock, which was about to burst, from my pants.
"Since I was in a state of [Arousal] abnormality, it is said that it can be relieved through sexual intercourse, but at least I have to cum once to relieve the state."
I pretended to analyze it calmly, but honestly, it was all an excuse, and I took it out to somehow calm my cock, which was about to burst.
Then I moved back and forth with the hand that wasn't touching her chest. My cock, which hadn't been able to properly release its sexual desire for three years, quickly felt the urge to ejaculate after rubbing it a few times.
In other words, the urge to ejaculate came faster than I originally thought.
"Wait a minute, this is... Ugh!"
Was it because this situation of harassing a sleeping woman at will excited me more? Or was it because of the [Arousal] abnormality?
The urge to ejaculate came faster than I thought, and even though I tried to stop it late, I couldn't stop it.
Burst!
Unable to endure the urge to ejaculate, I poured out my semen. At the end, I hastily changed direction and most of it went to the floor.
A few drops went to the bed. And a few drops… towards Hessa's face.
