Chapter 21: 19. First Night - 1

So, to sum it up, I possessed Ian during his second playthrough.

There had been suspicious signs more than once.

The way my emotions had reacted so intensely to Isabelle.

The way I had gone out of my way to save her.

It seemed the remnants of Ian's will inside me had been struggling desperately to love her.

Life as a possessor isn't easy.

Through the diary, I had also managed to roughly guess why Ian had fallen in love with Isabelle.

They must have sympathized with each other's suffering.

Ian, who had lost everything because of his cursed fate, and Isabelle, whom even her family had treated as a burden because of [Rose's Punishment], had much in common.

Perhaps ever since the two of them had begun living alone together, Ian's heart had belonged solely to Isabelle.

So much so that he had even forgotten his unfaithful wife.

Anyway, what an incredible devotion.

At first, I had not welcomed the feelings Ian had left behind as lingering traces.

The love I felt for Isabelle had seemed like an emotion created by someone else.

But now, I did not care much about it.

After all, I was Ian too.

I had decided to think of us as one and the same.

Of course, me embracing other women was another matter.

As h had said, I was a vicious creature.

Though first, I would need Isabelle's permission.

The fact that it was written in Korean must have been h's doing too.

The mysterious being, h.

And H Company, which had produced the Circumstances series.

They were probably the same person.

And the identity of that person had been narrowed down to one candidate.

Helia, the Sun Goddess.

Her name began with an h as well, making her the most likely suspect.

More precisely, it must be an alias used by the three sister goddesses.

Unlike the Church of the Sun, which regarded Helia as the sole deity, Helia had twin sisters.

They were Luna, the Moon Goddess, and Eos, the Goddess of Dawn.

Since they are identical triplets, would it be fair to regard the three goddesses as the same being?

Each of the three goddesses was said to create life, grant rest to the dead, and reveal time that had passed through the dawn.

Those goddesses had personally come to resolve the evil god's curse placed upon Ian.

Surely it had not meant nothing when they said Ian had originally been fated to become a hero.

An evil god's curse... But shouldn't Ian's backstory be surfacing around now?

Like in some cliché web novel, this was when Ian's past should have come flooding back to me. Yet Ian's soul had not affected me in any way, aside from loving Isabelle.

It truly was incredible devotion in more ways than one.

"I'll have no choice but to put together the puzzle I've been given, one piece at a time."

Looking back on it now, there was one astonishing thing.

The cabin I had thought was a hidden piece for Wendy, the returning hero, had actually been arranged for me.

Maybe the other hidden pieces were arranged for me too.

[Helia's Love Juice], which had been Reina's hidden piece, and [Big-Dick Herb], which had been Sumire's hidden piece.

Just those two alone were things Ian absolutely needed.

Meanwhile, for their original owners, Reina and Sumire, they made no difference whether they had them or not.

Helia must have separately created opportunities for Ian to grow stronger.

Considering Ian's own hidden piece was merely an invisibility skill, it seemed that openly giving him things was being checked by that being.

For the sake of growing stronger from now on, I'll have to monopolize the other hidden pieces too.

But before that, I needed to bring Entiel Village under my control.

Otherwise, Entiel Village would...

"Ian, are you all right?"

When I remained silent for a while, Isabelle looked at me with concern.

Sigh, I really can't get used to this.

Now that [Rose's Punishment] had been cured, Isabelle's appearance was nothing short of goddess-like.

Eyes that curved gracefully, a high nose, and moist, crimson lips.

There was not a single flaw about her. Her beauty was practically perfect.

Even merely meeting her gaze made my heart pound like mad.

Could this be another one of Ian's lingering emotions too?

Once again, I felt how incredible the power of love was.

"I got lost in thought for a moment."

"If something is troubling you, please tell me too. W-we're husband and wife, aren't we?"

Isabelle spoke with difficulty, fidgeting with her fingers.

She was utterly embarrassed, but it was incredibly arousing.

"I've heard that husband and wife overcome hardships together. It may be late, but I'll work hard to support you too."

"Isabelle, too much enthusiasm can become poison instead. It has not been long since [Rose's Punishment] was cured, so your feelings alone are enough for me."

"No. I'm very healthy. Look."

Bounce, bounce.

To show me how healthy she was, Isabelle repeatedly jumped in place.

Her breasts shook wildly in the process, making it no easy task to keep my eyes under control.

"Even when I jump like this, I'm not out of breath."

"Normally, someone would not be out of breath after doing that much."

"I-is that so?"

Even without Isabelle proving it, I had known early on that she was healthy.

Angel's Rest has an effect similar to an elixir. Isabelle must feel as though she has been reborn.

Even so, the reason I had tried to temper her enthusiasm was simply because I was worried.

For someone who had spent her entire life in bed, there were still dangers in this world that she could not handle.

"Isabelle, it is not too late to learn slowly. There is no need for you to push yourself."

"Mmph... Even so, I want to support you right now."

"Why do you want to go that far?"

"Because I want to love you too."

"?!"

Isabelle looked at me with tear-filled eyes as she spoke.

"I know too. I know I'm useless. I'll surely only be a burden. But I want to love you too. Just as much as you have loved me, I want to love you too. I can't be the only one receiving it."

For a long while after her heartfelt confession, I could only look at her face.

Then, taking her chin in my hand, I told her how I felt.

"Do not call yourself useless. Simply having you by my side gives me more than enough strength."

Isabelle's gaze grew languid.

It was a gaze that yearned for something.

And having read her heart, my body moved before I could think.

Smack!

That was how we, husband and wife, shared our first kiss.

. . .

The Isabelle of today was no different from a newborn baby.

Having been able to do nothing but lie in bed and watch, she had no tolerance for stimulation.

And for someone like her, a kiss with the husband she loved was an explosive mass of stimulation.

I'm happy♥ I'm happy♥ I'm happy♥ I'm happy♥ I'm happy♥

A simple kiss alone filled Isabelle's mind with rosy hues.

So much so that all she could think about was her beloved husband.

I want more. I want to know more about Ian.

Wanting to learn every inch of her husband's being, Isabelle instinctively savored his lips.

Mm?!

Startled by Isabelle's tongue entering his mouth, Ian nearly pulled back.

But he soon regained his composure and slowly accepted what Isabelle wanted.

Slurp.

Isabelle's movements with her tongue were terribly clumsy.

She did not know where to move it or how to make a kiss feel good.

Like an innocent young girl, she simply craved the kiss.

"Haa... Ian♥"

"Isabelle."

At Isabelle's alluring voice, Ian pulled away from her lips.

"This time, I'll take the lead."

"Yes?"

To Isabelle, who was still too dazed by the stimulation of the kiss to come to her senses, Ian gave an even greater stimulation.

His tongue invaded Isabelle's mouth and toyed with hers.

At first, he teased her tentatively, but soon Ian's tongue ravished Isabelle's tongue.

Then they gradually exchanged their saliva more deeply.

And with that first deep kiss, Isabelle fell into ecstasy.

So this is a kiss. This is the happiness love brings.

What captivated Isabelle most of all was the way she connected with Ian.

It felt as though his love and hers were becoming one.

If a kiss feels this good, what would sex feel like?

Isabelle once again gave Ian an intense gaze.

The continuing stimulation made her feel as though her brain was melting, but to Isabelle now, that was a trivial matter.

What mattered to her now was making love with Ian.

"Ian, ravish me. Make me your woman."

"Isabelle!"

At Isabelle's temptation, Ian lost his reason for a moment.

He carefully laid her down on the bed. Then he slowly undressed her.

"Wow..."

And there was Isabelle's naked body.

Her skin was like a sheet of pure white paper, and her curvaceous body was like a sculpture.

As Ian stared in awe at her unreal beauty, Isabelle covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.

"D-don't look at me so much."

"I'm sorry. You were so beautiful that I lost myself staring at you."

"No. If you want to look, then look as much as you like."

Isabelle opened both arms toward Ian.

"Because my body and heart are both yours, Ian."
