Midnight Prince: Empire of Sin

Adam groaned for a while more before chuckling to himself in a maniacal fit.

'Well, it isn't without its cons.'

In the real world, he could die again and again without any problems. Which meant that he could mutilate his body as much as was needed without fearing much of anything.

But inside the Dreamscape, he only had one life and dying forced him to log out for a few days at the minimum.

'Perhaps…'

He chewed on the words that came to his mind before deciding to focus on this thought later when he entered the Dreamscape once again.

He had only entered a very small part of the Dreamscape in his first visit to that mysterious plane and he also had to be careful about meeting other Dreamwalkers over there.

Be it inside the Dreamscape or inside the Se of Subconsciousness, he had to always be careful of enemies.

'Will avoid the Sea for now.'

There was a hard limit on how far he would be able to progress without creating his own inner dream world.

But the growth inside Dreamscape should accelerate the creation of this dream world of his.

"Every time I move, I feel like I have ten more things that are added to my to-do list."

He sighed ruefully and went back to rest once more.

He was feeling so tired right now that he felt like sleeping already, even if it was only for a few hours.

'My need for sleep is constantly lowering. At this rate…'

He knew that soon, sleeping would be nearly impossible for him.

So he decided to enjoy what he was able to do now and think about the problem in the future.

It was rather irresponsible and immature of him, all things considered, but he didn't particularly care.

'I should also ask Yui to make sure that bugs don't enter this place.'

He looked at the spider that was crawling in the corner of the room and creating its webs for it to stay in this territory.

Adam was tempted to simply squash it using his telekinetic powers. But in the end he simply ignored it and went back to have some proper sleep.

He hoped that this meager amount of sleep that he was finally able to get at this moment would not be disturbed by something unexpected.

He slowly entered the realm of sleep, while the spider continued to form its web, while its numerous red eyes gazed quietly at the sleeping form of the boy.

[Hanekawa's Household.]

Sitting on her bed, a young woman wearing a kimono was breathing in a rather rough way as her hand was moving lazily and caressing her secret garden through her panties.

All around her, pictures of Adam could be seen strewn around and her eyes were glazed as she was observing something far away.

Her previously pink hair, had changed to a more purple hue, the proof that she was slowly assimilating the power of the two cursed spirits inside of her.

"Ah…Darling, why do you suffer so much?"

Tsubasa groaned a while accelerating the movement of her fingers.

Finally –She trembled a little, as tremors filled her body and a watery sound filled her ears.

Her panties were now completely drenched, the proof of her climax.

'This isn't enough.'

This wasn't even close to being enough.

'Should I approach him?'

She had waited for more than enough, right?

Smiling, she took out her phone and started to scroll until she reached the mission Page.

As the heiress of the Hanekawa family, she had already been considered a gold-ranked hunter long ago.

Now that she added a second curse to her, she should be able to look for a promotion but —

'Not yet.'

It wasn't time yet for her to increase her rank.

Rather — she had something more interesting to do.

She searched the mission under the new gold-rank hunter called Magician and grinned when she found what she wanted.

Important missions like this always create sub-missions to recruit staff and helpers.

They were researching bronzes and silver-ranked Hunters.

Gold-rank hunters rarely choose the same mission as they did not accept working under another person of the same rank.

This time it was even more complicated. After all, no normal Gold rank would accept working under the order of a rookie without any credentials.

Thankfully — She didn't care about all that.

The very moment she sent her application for the mission, her phone started to ring.

[Good Evening Miss Hanekawa, I hope I am not disturbing you.].

"Not at all."

[I am Mark Smith, the handler of this mission. Since your time is precious, I will go straight to the point. Did a mistake occur?]

"No. I wish to participate in the mission. I will take a role as a support."

[But…Very well…]

Hanekawa raised an eyebrow,

"It seems like I am not particularly welcome."

[No, no, no! Of course, having a second gold rank would make the situation far easier to handle. I am terribly sorry if my words came off as rude]

"I see. So I gather there is no problem."

[Obviously, the right to Veto is in the hands of The Magician.]

"This is normal. Then I hope you will give him my information. Though, do not mention my true identity."

[Understood. I will introduce you under your nickname, Ghost Spider. The protection of Hunters' identities is one of our most important duty.]

"Good. Talking with intelligent people is always a delight."

[You praise me too much.]

Mark's voice filled the phone for a few moments as he apologized again and wished her a good night.

Once the call ended, Hanekawa sighed before putting on her headphones.

Listening to the voice of another man was always a pain for her.

Their voices dirtied her ears.

Their presence made her feel sick.

This was why —

[How are you, Tsubasa?]

A large smile formed on her face as she listened to the old recording of Adam's voice.

'Ah~…'

Truly — This was happiness.

(AN: I am pretty sure some readers skipped the side stories. If you skipped The side story number 7, you should go read it. Anyway. Second bonus chapter. Since tomorrow is the end of the month on WN. Hope you liked them. I am going back to Morocco on the 8th of August. Perhaps I will then go back to 2-3 chapters a day? I will see. The current release rate in July was honestly pretty relaxing.)
