"Ah... Ahhhh!"
The instant the blistering heat erupted deep within her abdomen, Jessica's body—still slumped heavily against Owen's broad chest—spasmed violently as if struck by high-voltage electricity. Her beautiful brown eyes snapped wide open, pupils dilating to their absolute limits. The warm sensation of the [Seed of Creation] pumped to the very brim of her womb had now morphed into boiling lava!
This was no mere fever; it was the searing crucible of 'Evolution.' The sheer, overwhelming volume of the Sire's seed packed inside her was reacting with violent intensity. It seeped through her flesh, tore through her nervous system, and ruthlessly forced every cellular fiber in her body to shatter the fragile limits of an ordinary human!
"Owen! It's so hot... inside me... I'm going to explode! Arghhhh!"
Jessica shrieked, her voice echoing wildly through the bathroom. Her trembling hands clawed into the young man's back, her nails sinking deep into his solid flesh. She writhed in agonizing torment as a DNA-level transformation tore apart her original biological structure.
Suddenly, the pure, potent mana currents hidden within the seed were greedily devoured by her body. The veins beneath Jessica's flushed skin bulged and pulsed with a brilliant blue light, before an aura of translucent blue mana exploded outward from her body in a violent shockwave!
BOOM!
The shockwave blasted the cascade of water from the rain shower away in all directions in a perfect circle, creating a momentary vacuum dome devoid of a single drop of water. Jessica's eyes glowed with blinding blue luminescence.
In that infinitesimal fraction of a second, Owen felt a massive surge of energy rebound. It pierced directly into his consciousness through the psychic network of the [Broodmother Seal]. Jessica's emotional waves, heartbeat, and life force synchronized perfectly with his... It was the most solid, undeniable proof that her awakening was a resounding success!
However, this profound evolutionary transformation consumed a colossal amount of life energy. Combined with the accumulated exhaustion from enduring the marathon four-way battlefield that had drained her to the absolute last drop, the beautiful secretary's body had reached its absolute limit.
The moment the mana wave subsided and the blue light beneath her skin faded, Jessica's body went completely limp. Her consciousness faded into darkness, collapsing and dropping her dead weight straight into Owen's embrace.
Strong arms immediately wrapped around her unconscious figure, holding her tight. The young man looked down at his capable secretary's sleeping face, slick with sweat. His golden eyes, previously wild and brimming with untamed lust, now shone with a gentle, immensely proud light.
Finally... his resilient and fiercely loyal woman had received her well-deserved reward.
"You did great... Jessica," he whispered softly, before pressing his lips against her damp forehead in a tender, lingering kiss.
The demeanor of the savage Sire who had just ruthlessly ravaged them was entirely shed. Owen shifted flawlessly into the mode of a gentle lover and a devoted pack leader caring for his pack.
The savage atmosphere was replaced by pure tenderness. Owen adjusted the shower to warm water. His large hands, which had previously squeezed their soft flesh so roughly, now gently caressed and washed away the soap, sweat, and the sticky stains of lust smudged along her inner thighs with the utmost care. Then, he grabbed a large towel to wrap around her bare body and scooped her up in a firm princess carry.
He carried Jessica's body out of the flooded bathroom, heading straight for the soft king-size bed in the center of the bedroom. Talia and Victoria, completely naked and equally exhausted, helped prepare the bed, pulling back the thick blankets in anticipation. The two girls looked at Jessica with joyous, welcoming eyes, officially embracing the newest Awakened into their pack.
Owen gently laid her down before the four of them slipped under the heavy blanket, cuddling and intimately tangling their limbs together. Immersed in an atmosphere overflowing with sheer bliss and utter exhaustion, they sank into a deep slumber to restore their bodies together.
...
The golden morning sunlight of Saturday streamed through the gaps in the blackout curtains, casting a warm glow over the large bed and bathing the face of the deeply sleeping woman. Her thick, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly before Jessica's beautiful eyes slowly fluttered open to greet the new day.
The very first thing she realized was a sensation completely alien to anything she had ever known.
Normally, after surviving a fierce, relentless marathon of love-making all night, her body should be aching and sore in every single joint. Her muscles should be tense and exhausted to the point of not wanting to move an inch. Yet this morning, she felt incredibly 'light'. Her body was completely rejuvenated and overflowing with an unprecedented surge of power she had never experienced in her entire life.
Jessica raised both hands in front of her face, her eyes widening as she felt a strange, warm, and distinctly powerful energy flowing beneath her skin. It seeped into her bloodstream, pulsing in perfect, natural harmony with every beat of her heart.
This was, without a doubt... 'Mana'.
Memories of the previous night came flooding back vividly. From the final sensation of being completely filled, the blistering heat burning in her abdomen, to the violent eruption of energy right before she lost consciousness. Jessica sprang up into a sitting position. Her heart pounded so fast it felt like it might burst out of her chest. Her excitement skyrocketed, making her completely forget to maintain the facade of the cold, strict secretary. What remained was a young girl absolutely thrilled with a miracle that had changed her life forever!
She spun around to the young man sleeping face down, his face buried in Talia's massive breasts on the other side. Jessica pounced on him, shaking his muscular arm vigorously.
"Owen! Owen! Wake up, quick!" she cried out cheerfully, shaking him relentlessly. "I did it! My body feels so incredibly light. I can feel mana! I've really become an Awakened!"
The young man, who had only managed to get a few precious hours of sleep, groaned groggily deep in his throat. His dark eyebrows furrowed slightly at having his rest disturbed. He rolled over onto his back, pulling away from Talia's warm cleavage, before his strong arm swiftly wrapped around the waist of the noisy Jessica. With a sudden, strong pull, he dragged her down, making her collapse squarely onto his broad chest.
"Kya! Owen, listen to me... Mmph!"
Before the overly excited secretary could even open her mouth to complain that her boss wasn't listening, Owen's large hand slid up to cup the back of her neck. He forced her beautifully sharp face down to his, precisely sealing his deep lips against hers.
It wasn't the savage, lust-driven kiss from the night before, but a soft, incredibly warm morning kiss—yet it carried the absolute authority and unyielding possessiveness of an Alpha 'Lion'. His hot, damp tongue slipped inside, sweeping up the extreme sweetness within her mouth for a long, breathless moment. It was an incredibly effective way to silence her and quell her frantic excitement.
Jessica's body, previously tense with adrenaline, slowly melted into his embrace. Her hands, which had been pushing against his chest, slid up to wrap affectionately around his thick neck. She closed her eyes, willingly surrendering to the kiss, letting her racing heart gradually calm down under his lead.
When he felt the woman atop him yield and settle down, Owen slowly and lingeringly pulled his lips away.
Jessica's face was flushed red all the way to the tips of her ears. She panted softly, gazing into the young man's eyes with a completely melted, utterly infatuated look. She had been reduced to a tame kitten in the palm of his hand once again.
Owen chuckled softly in his throat, the deep sound vibrating against his chest. He used his fingertips to gently brush aside a stray strand of hair clinging to her forehead, before speaking in a husky morning voice tinged with deep fondness.
"Calm down, sweetheart... You're a little too excited, you know~" He smirked. "Save your energy. Once we're done with breakfast, I'll personally teach you the 'basics' of being an Awakened. Don't worry."
...
The living room was neatly organized, perfectly reflecting Jessica's immaculate secretarial style. The air was filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly toasted bread, fried eggs, sausages, and crispy bacon. This mingled with the faint scent of flowers arranged in a large vase in the corner, creating an oddly warm and relaxing domestic atmosphere.
In the kitchen, Talia and Victoria, dressed in comfortable casual wear, were helping each other prepare the simple breakfast. Talia's lighthearted, giggly laughter playfully clashed with Victoria's sarcastic remarks every so often, breathing life into the quiet Saturday morning. Meanwhile, Owen sat leaning against the long leather sofa in the living room, casually discussing CMG company management guidelines with Jessica, who was also eagerly waiting for breakfast.
An hour later, having finished their meal and the last drop of coffee, Jessica tried to suppress her extreme excitement. It was finally time for Owen to teach her the Awakened basics. She moved to sit cross-legged on the sofa next to him as instructed.
"Alright... Stop looking like you just won the lottery, Jessica," Owen chuckled softly, seeing his secretary sitting bolt upright with her eyes sparkling.
"But it's so exciting! I... I've never felt my body this light and full of energy before," Jessica replied cheerfully.
Owen shifted slightly closer to her, his golden eyes turning serious. "Listen, Jessica... Being an Awakened isn't just about experiencing miracles. It's about controlling what's inside. The method I'm going to teach you is exactly what 'Nova' taught me."
He began explaining the foundational theories calmly, drawing analogies that Jessica could easily grasp based on her expertise. "The core isn't about 'forcing' or 'squeezing' mana... because the harder you try to force it, the more it will resist you. You have to 'accept' that it is a fundamental part of your flesh and blood, and then gently 'guide' it. Just like managing a budget. You simply need to know where the resources are flowing and where they should converge to achieve maximum efficiency."
"I understand... Accept and guide," Jessica murmured, repeating his instructions intently.
"Good... Now close your eyes," Owen ordered in a deep voice. "After the breakfast you just had, your body is actively breaking down nutrients, and your mana is circulating nicely. Try to take slow, deep breaths... Feel the warmest spot in your body."
Jessica obediently followed. She closed her eyes and entered a meditative state. Amidst the faint sound of the wind outside the window, she began to sense the lingering, gentle heat in her abdomen from being completely filled last night, the rhythmic energy from the [Broodmother Seal] pulsing like tranquil waves, and finally, the true source of her Awakened mana—the mana core within her heart. To her senses, it was an incredibly stable and powerful wellspring of energy.
"There... It feels like a warm current swirling beneath your skin, right?" Owen asked, to which Jessica nodded while keeping her eyes closed. "Once you get used to it, slowly gather that current. Guide it straight up to your 'brain'. The door to the true essence of your skill will open for you to understand it."
Within Jessica's mind, the atmosphere shifted rapidly. From the initial empty darkness, transparent blue lines of energy began to materialize...
They didn't form the shape of a weapon, a fierce beast, or a natural phenomenon like standard combat-type Awakened. Instead, they branched out endlessly, weaving and interlacing until they formed a complex 'data grid network', exactly resembling the intricate circuitry of a supercomputer!
Colossal numbers, mathematical symbols, and millions of data graphs raced across those blue lines at blinding speeds. Jessica felt as if her brain was being actively upgraded. An unprecedented flood of knowledge and information surged wildly into her consciousness. Yet, it didn't give her a headache in the slightest. On the contrary, she understood it all flawlessly.
It wasn't forced memorization... but pure, innate "comprehension." It was like a "user manual" deeply embedded in her soul since birth, and now, the padlock securing it had finally been shattered!
"Ngh..." Jessica's body trembled slightly. A faint blue mana began to quietly radiate around her.
She was diving deep into her own core... deeper... clearer... As if all the profound secrets of this world were being translated into 'numbers' and 'logic' that she alone possessed.
Time flowed slowly for about half an hour.
Click!
Finally, Jessica's eyelids snapped open. A brilliant blue light flashed intensely in her pupils, as if digital data streams were cascading within them, before slowly fading away. What remained was a bright, remarkably clear gaze, overflowing with unprecedented, absolute confidence.
"My God... Owen! I understand now!"
The strict, cold secretary persona vanished in a flash. Jessica bounced up from the sofa like a coiled spring. She threw herself at Owen, who was casually scrolling through his smartphone, knocking him back against the backrest. The young woman straddled his lap, wrapping both arms tightly around his strong neck as she babbled excitedly like a child showing off a new toy.
"My power... my ability is called [The Auditor]!"
Jessica proudly explained the details of her newly acquired skill. It allowed her to see everything as structured systems and logic. She gained a Passive skill called [Analytical Core], which enabled her brain to process documents, accounting piles, or massively complex numbers as fast as a supercomputer. With just a glance, she could calculate and pinpoint errors within seconds.
"But what's truly terrifying is the Active skill in combat!" Jessica puffed out her chest slightly, her tone turning decidedly more serious. She explained that she could turn any battlefield into a living ledger where she dictated the rules. The more information she had on her target, the more terrifyingly effective her power became. It was divided into three main skills.
"The first skill, [Asset Evaluation], allows me to see the exact 'Mana Capacity' of an enemy as a precise numerical value. It's like auditing a financial statement hiding secret debts. Absolutely no one can hide their mana or pretend to be weak to fool me."
"The second skill, [Tax Deduction]. When an enemy attacks with mana, I can use my own mana to defend and 'shave off a percentage' of that attack's sheer force. The more data and details I know about the enemy's ability, the more of their attack power gets completely negated... up to a maximum of 50%!"
"And the third skill..." Jessica paused for a moment, a supremely confident smirk appearing on her face. "[Account Freeze]... If I gather enough data to fully understand 100% of the target's power structure and abilities, I can enforce a 'lock' on that ability, preventing them from using that specific skill temporarily! Just like freezing their assets!"
"Whoa... That's incredibly overpowered!" Talia, who was listening while washing dishes at the kitchen counter, her eyes went wide. She knew very well how incredibly difficult it was to deal with skills that directly controlled other people's abilities. "But an overpowered skill like that must have harsh limitations, right, Sister Jessica?"
"Exactly, Talia!" Jessica nodded at the former nurse. "The duration of the lock depends entirely on the disparity in our strength. If the enemy is much weaker than me, I could potentially lock their skill for an entire day. But if we are evenly matched, it will only lock for a few minutes... And if the enemy is vastly stronger than me, the lock might only last a few seconds."
"In high-level combat, even a single second can mean the difference between life and death," Talia clapped her hands rapidly in excitement. "This is an absolute top-tier support ability!~"
"Hmm... It's quite obvious that Jessica's [The Auditor] is undoubtedly a 'Special Type'. Her skills are unique and cannot be categorized into the four main classes," Victoria analyzed as she walked over holding a pitcher of orange juice. She sat down on a nearby single sofa and gracefully poured herself a glass.
She continued, "The closest category, aside from 'Special Type', would be 'Control Type', similar to my telekinesis. However, as an expert in this field, I believe her power leans much more towards 'Special Type'. The conditions required to lock a target's power are simply too complex. A natural Control Type must be able to manipulate things with minimal conditions."
As professional Awakened, everyone agreed that Jessica's ability should be classified as a 'Special Type' focused on supporting and debuffing opponents—a rarity even scarcer than typical combat types.
Owen, who was still being pinned down by Jessica, nodded in agreement with Talia and Victoria. He assessed the situation based on his vast personal experience. "Given these conditions and this immense level of utility... I am certain your [The Auditor] power will absolutely be ranked as an A-Rank Ability. As for your overall Awakened Rank, we'll have to wait for the Association's official evaluation when we take you to register."
"Whoa! My ability is actually A-Rank!~" Jessica puffed out her chest with immense pride, causing her full breasts to press tightly together beneath her V-neck t-shirt. Her confidence had shattered the ceiling.
However... that arrogance didn't last long. Not when Owen, lying beneath her, slowly narrowed his golden eyes. His deep lips curled into a sly, wicked smirk. The dangerous instinct of the pack leader began to radiate. His large hands, resting on her narrow waist, began to stroke her gently before he teased her with a laughing, husky voice.
"Tell me honestly, Jessica..." Owen raised an eyebrow. "Did being my secretary exhaust you so thoroughly that you literally forced an Awakening, just to clear your paperwork in the blink of an eye?"
"Eh? N... No! I just..."
Jessica's jaw dropped, ready to argue, but Owen gave her no opening. He playfully yanked her waist, forcing her to slide down and press intimately against his abdomen. He leaned in and whispered into her rapidly reddening ear with a deep, husky, and incredibly seductive voice.
"Or perhaps... you simply loathed wasting your precious time on those piles of documents, because you wanted to dedicate every waking second of your free time... to 'pleasuring' me in bed to your heart's content, hmm? My little pet."
"W... What did you say!"
Struck right in her most guarded secret, Jessica's face turned a fiery crimson all the way down to her elegant neck. Her confidence and the imposing aura of 'The Auditor' vanished into thin air, instantly replaced by sheer, flustered embarrassment. She quickly pushed herself off his chest and began lightly pummeling Owen's muscular chest with her small fists in a panic.
"Are you crazy! I did it for our company! Stop teasing me this instant, Owen!"
"Hahaha!" Owen, Talia, and Victoria all burst into joyous laughter, their voices echoing warmly through the room. Seeing the usually strict, professional older sister of the group lose her composure so adorably was simply priceless.
