Leaf and I left Dorothy's house.
I looked around: the fog had dissipated, sliding between the trees as if hiding from something. Maybe it had gone because we defeated the two monsters that lived inside the house. The air smelled different, less dense, colder… but also freer.
I advanced with a slow step, listening to the creak of rotten wood under my boots. The house, now silent, seemed to watch us leave with the empty eyes of its broken windows.
I walked toward the back, guided by a strange feeling, an intuition that pushed me to continue. And there, among the shadows and the damp grass, I distinguished an old wooden door, hidden behind an arch of dry branches. It didn't belong to the house; it seemed like a passage to another world.
When I got close enough, Leaf spoke with that voice of hers, sweet and mischievous.
—Hey… did you know there's a key that can open any door? —she told me with a smile—. If you ever need one, we can buy it from the rabbit. But for that… we need souls. The ones we get from defeating monsters. So, why don't we go level up first?
— you're right we must get stronger
I sighed, unable to avoid smiling at her. Sometimes Leaf had the ease of making danger sound like a fun adventure. I had no other choice but to listen to her.
We set off on the way back to the Sacred Forest. The dry leaves crunched under our feet, and the wind blew as if trying to erase our footprints. The landscape was an echo of everything we had gone through: twisted trees, roots like claws, a sky that seemed to bleed dark clouds.
But just when I was starting to resign myself to a long walk, Leaf stopped me with a gesture.
—No need to walk that much, you know? —she said, with an almost amused expression—. The bonfires you lit… serve as portals. You can travel between them. You just have to concentrate.
— seriously I thought they were only there to rest or to cook something.
At first I thought she was joking, but upon arriving at the bonfire and touching the flame I felt something stirring inside me. I closed my eyes, thought about the Sacred Forest… and in a blink, when I opened them again, I was there. In front of another bonfire, surrounded by the trees I recognized.
I stood still, amazed.
—Incredible —I murmured—. It really works.
Leaf smiled, with that expression of hers between pride and sweetness.
—I told you —she replied, floating beside me.
Without wasting time, we went straight to see the rabbit.
—Hello —I said—. Could you help me level up?
—Ah… I see you bring many souls —he answered with a deep and slow voice—. You've fought powerful monsters, boy. With these, your spirit can grow much more.
—Then… let's begin.
The rabbit raised his hands, and a warm current enveloped my body. The souls I had gathered rose, spinning around me like fireflies. Then they merged with me. In the instant they did, I felt an inner expansion, a wave of power that pierced my muscles, skin, bones.
—Good —said the rabbit, upon finishing—. Now you're level twenty. Keep getting souls, keep growing.
—Thanks… —I replied, still dazed by the sensation.
I looked at Leaf. Her eyes reflected enormous emotion.
—Leaf —I said—. If you want, take the souls that are still left inside my body. I want you to be stronger too.
She lowered her gaze, smiling with a mix of tenderness and mischief.
—I can't absorb them like that —she whispered—. For it to work… we have to do something else
We headed behind a tree, the world reduced to just the two of us. She asked me to take off the armor from below
Leaf waited patiently, but her eyes devoured every inch of me with evident desire.
—Come on, don't be shy~.
Upon finishing and taking out my penis, Leaf approached it and smelled it, With her small pink tongue, she began to lick the upper head as if it were an ice cream or a forbidden candy.
Her movements were expert, circular, soft at first, then more insistent. Pleasure invaded me like a wave: warm, intense, impossible to resist. I couldn't tell her to stop.
The seconds passed while Leaf continued sucking my penis, her tiny lips enveloping it, her tongue dancing with mastery. Moans escaped from my throat, muffled by the fear of being heard.
The climax arrived like an explosion. My semen gushed out forcefully, soaking her face and tiny body.
Most of it went into her mouth; she swallowed it all greedily, licking her lips. The moment she did, her body glowed with a golden light.
—Thanks, now I'm level ten. You know, your semen can expel the souls of the monsters you defeat and help me level up, but only in this form. But don't worry, I don't dislike doing it with you. I like it a lot before, hehe~.
Upon saying those words, I quickly put on my armor. It's just a way to level up, it's not for any other reason we're doing it... yes, it's just that.
I repeated that in my mind to calm the whirlwind of emotions: guilty pleasure, confusion, a glimpse of growing affection for this mischievous fairy.
Leaf washed in the nearby stream, the crystal-clear water sliding over her shiny skin, cleaning the traces of our union. She shook herself like a bird, laughing.
Upon finishing leaf washing her body and cleaning herself she tells me it's time to explore another place and that would be the right part where the behemonth ranch was.
Leaf turned to me one last time and smiled, that smile of hers that mixed sweetness and mystery.
—Let's go —she said with a soft voice—. It's time to explore another place. The right part of the forest… where the Behemonth ranch is.
So we set off toward that new unexplored place.
Upon arriving at a part of the forest, I could see what seemed to be a small stand of something, but I didn't pay much attention to it. On the other side, among the trees, there was another fairy who seemed to be taking a small rest.
