My NTR Harem

Lucian breathed heavily, looking at the strange land around him, the pain of his severed arm making him feel weak.

'Zero, are you back yet?' he thought, while using his wings to push the grass away and carefully looking at his surroundings.

[Sigh… yes, I am back. Sorry, I made a big mistake again. I didn't expect this place to have changed so much after it was left untouched to be locked again.]

'Are you sure you're on my side? You aren't an imposter, right? Last time, I ended up in a dangerous

Chasm

, and this time, it's even worse and much more deadly.' Lucian frowned, now seriously doubting Zero.

[N- No, I am on your side. It's just that I made a mistake. I'll be more careful in the future.]

'What future? I feel like I might have to stay here forever. There's just no way of getting rid of these insects. At least provide me with some information about them,' he said.

Lucian was disappointed to find that Velm was not capable of regrowing his arm. The wound was readily covered, but despite trying several times, Velm failed to grow an entire arm.

[

Yes, just give me a little time.]

'Sure, I have all the time in the world until those insects crawl inside my body and eat away my brain. Go ahead and take your time,' Lucian said sarcastically.

[…]

The only weakness these creatures seemed to have was when they were on the ground and unable to eat anything, but Lucian still needed to confirm a few things.

He gazed at the black spot on a grass leaf; just moments ago, those insects had devoured his arm, and now they were lazily chewing the metallic grass.

Lucian actually felt fear for his life. If even a single insect entered his body, he would soon turn into a hollow corpse.

Taking a deep breath, he walked closer to the grass.

The pain in his shoulder seemed to intensify as he got closer to the tiny insects; it had been excruciating when they were devouring his flesh.

While maintaining a safe distance, he touched the black insects with the corner of his wing, which was made by Velm.

Leaving the grass, all the insects moved toward the wing, and in the next instant, they began to slowly chew the red substance, though their speed was just as slow as when they were eating the grass or maybe even slower.

Then he turned the surface of the wing more jelly like, but this led to an increase in the speed of the insects, so Lucian hastily returned the wings to their original state.

"This is good. I can at least keep these little things away from me, but I have to get out of here as soon as possible," he mumbled.

Lucian checked Zero's storage and remembered that he had forgotten to bring food in case of emergency.

After all, this was his first proper chasm, and he had greatly underestimated it.

There was only a little food he had tossed inside quite some time ago since it was leftover from when Tess had her fill.

"It can only last me around two to three days if I'm only eating a little, but I don't even have any water." Soon, he remembered another problem.

Right now, he was cursing himself for not preparing well despite having Zero's storage.

He could only regret his decision to come here in haste now.

'Zero, also search for any water source around—wait—does this place have water?' Lucian questioned. He might die of thirst and hunger even before the insects killed him.

[Yes, this place has water, though its quality is low compared to Earth's, and it is quite deadly currently.]

Zero's words appeared in his head after a few moments.

Lucian gazed at his left hand. Before his right hand was severed, the bracelet had automatically appeared over his left hand.

"Hey, I wonder if these insects can eat a book too. Should I give it a try?" he asked.

[N- No, wait, I'll really die if they eat me! I'm doing my best to correct my mistake; just give me a little time—I mean, I'm almost done, so don't feed me to them.]

Shaking his head, Lucian once again focused on his surroundings. It might be dangerous to keep standing in just one place.

Who knows, these insects might work like ants: when an ant finds heavy food, they bring more ants to help carry it back to their home.

What if these insects called for more insects? So standing in one place was dangerous.

After looking around, Lucian felt that all sides looked the same, so in the end, he just decided to walk in a random direction.

"Velm, cover me." Just as Lucian commanded, the red substance began to swallow his body.

After a few seconds, Lucian was standing inside a red-colored suit, which had black patterns all over it, with two large dangerous-looking wings attached to his back.

Velm had covered his entire body, just leaving enough space to breathe and see. Its surface was very hard, yet the suit wasn't heavy at all and was flexible enough.

"With this, I feel a lot safer, but what am I going to do about my arm?" Lucian said, his heart chilled as he looked at his missing arm. Only now did he realize how much he cared for it.

It had stayed with him since birth, but now it was gone. He looked at his other arm with deep emotions.

"Sorry, because of me, you lost your twin brother." He stayed in his misery for a few seconds, then he finally began to move.

CLING CLING CLING CLING CLING CLING CLING CLING CLING

As he walked through the dense grass, its blades kept hitting his body, but all of it was blocked by the armor as the sound of metal hitting kept ringing.

Lucian observed as several tiny insects crawled over to the surface of his armor and began to chew, but the speed was so slow that it would take them hours to reach his flesh.

"This is the worst. At this rate, I will just be waiting for a painful death. Hey, fate, do your best or you'll regret it big time," Lucian shouted, his mind not working properly right now—the pain was driving him crazy.

So he challenged fate, and in return, fate didn't disappoint him.

ROAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

A thunderous roar rang out, making the steel-like grass shiver. The land vibrated along with the loud thumping sound, and the silence of the forest was instantly gone.

"Fuck, I was just joking. You didn't have to take it so seriously," Lucian cursed; he had jinxed himself, and now another danger approached him like a big boulder.

THUMP THUMP THUMP

Lucian's heart beat along with the approaching footsteps of the creature. He knew what was coming but had no time to prepare.

Within seconds, Lucian saw a 7 to 8 foot tall volcano boar running wildly through the grass, which had no effect on its body. It was just gently brushing against its body like the normal grass on Earth, as sparks flew around. Discover stories with m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
