Leaving Thea behind, Luke advanced toward his house.

Truthfully, he hated loud women who were not true to their desires.

That was why he loved Monica, and now Ginna too. Both were women who proactively asked for what they wanted and never shied away under the excuse of age difference or similar nonsense.

Some reluctance could still be appealing, since hunting that type had always been a hobby of his. But this woman was simply irritating to his ears. It’s just her screeching voice that annoyed him to no end.

Initially, when he approached her, he thought breaking her would be easy for how easily she folded during their first exchange. However, she was surprisingly quite determined.

And since he refused to go down any non-consensual routes, he decided to leave.

Only for the system to assign him a strange quest.

Make the night worth remembering by making her cum twice.

Truthfully, it was not a daunting task. The women in these worlds were thirsty as fuck. They had never actually been fucked before, yet they carried the libido of a normal woman from his previous world.

Luke would not be surprised if he found lesbian couples in more advanced settlements.

Setting that aside, making that bitch squirt twice was not difficult at all. He completed the quest in just a few minutes. It helped that she responded strongly to a rough approach, much like Laila. So Luke accomplished it without any trouble.

Now the real question surfaced in Luke’s mind.

"What’s so special about her, System? And what exactly is this reward?"

[First, the reward!]

[Ding! Congratulations on your achievement.]

[Rewards: +100 GP, +300G, Iron Fragment—10%]

[Iron Fragment: The essence of a Mythical-Grade Physique.]

[Effects: Grants the user the foundation of a perfect combat body. Alongside enhanced durability, the host will attain maximum resistance against heat, cold, poison, and curses.]

[Additional Effects: The host will gain an ideal physique for accelerated growth, rapid muscle recovery, and enhanced bone regeneration.]

[Note: Upon collecting all fragments of the Iron Physique, the host must undergo an evolution process lasting one full day.]

Luke came to a complete stop.

His eyes remained fixed on the translucent screen hovering before him as he reread the description again and again.

For a moment, he genuinely wondered if he had misunderstood something.

No.

Calling this reward merely surprising would be a ridiculous understatement.

This was insane.

No... far beyond insane.

A mythical-grade physique?

Maximum resistance against environmental extremes, poison, and even curses?

And on top of that, accelerated growth and recovery?

Luke could already imagine how monstrous this physique would become once completed.

A body that could continuously fight, heal faster than ordinary humans, endure lethal environments, and grow stronger at an absurd pace...

This wasn’t just a reward.

It was the foundation of a true monster.

He asked the system instantly, ’So to obtain the fragments, I need to make that woman cum?’

[No, Host. You must continue interacting with the target regularly and remain in close contact to absorb her essence. Since the Host may lack efficient methods to extract the essence properly, the System will provide additional quests to assist with the process.]

"Please do. That would actually help a lot."

Luke had no intention of aimlessly involving himself with that woman unless there was a clear direction and purpose behind it.

Then the System added another line.

[Warning: The final fragment can only be obtained once the target bears the Host’s offspring.]

"..."

Luke fell silent for a moment.

Then a crooked grin slowly appeared on his face.

"So in the end, I need to get her pregnant for my own gain?" He let out a short snicker. "Sounds pretty scummy."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"But honestly... who cares?"

He was already doing something similar with Nadia anyway.

And considering the chief’s young mate was still newly mated, it wouldn’t be strange if her stomach started swelling within a few months. People would naturally assume it was the chief’s child.

Which meant...

Luke finally had a proper reason to pursue that snorty woman.

Truthfully, until now, he had never considered her worth the effort.

Sure, she had an attractive figure. He especially liked the shape of her hips, and the lingering taste of her lips had stayed in his mind longer than expected.

But attraction alone wasn’t enough to make him invest time or interest in someone.

Now, however?

Everything had changed.

For the very first time, he had received something far more valuable than simple gamma energy from a woman.

And naturally, that raised an important question.

"Why her?" Out of all people he has met so far, why Thea?

[Host, the target carries the ancient bloodline of a Sage.]

Luke’s eyes narrowed slightly as the System continued.

[A Sage is a legendary existence among magicians and warriors. Individuals who spent their lives surrounded by danger yet continued to persevere through chaos.]

[They are chosen beings. Those who surpass the natural limits of ordinary mortals.]

Luke’s brows rose slightly.

That woman actually has ancestors like that?

Honestly, he doubted she even knew about it herself.

Otherwise, someone like her would never have settled as the mate of a chief ruling over a village this small. From what Luke had observed so far, Thea seemed like the type who valued influence and status far more than loyalty.

Still, none of that truly mattered to him.

His only interest lay in extracting her essence and completing the Iron Physique.

Just imagining the passive enhancements alone was enough to make his blood stir with anticipation.

Enhanced durability.

Resistance against poison, curses, heat, and cold.

Faster recovery.

A body forged purely for combat and growth.

A slow grin spread across Luke’s face as he walked toward his house beneath the dim night sky.

Originally, he had planned to continue exploring the outside world soon.

But now?

He suddenly felt no rush at all.

For the time being, this village still had plenty left for him to take.

A/N:- So I found a balance between my conflicted thought about him moving out. Thank you for giving the story a chance.
