・─ Lukin's POV
I am envious of those who possess immortality.
They do not experience aging and their deaths are not immediate.
Whenever I contemplate their existence, I find myself pondering if they encounter any difficulties.
In silence, I continue to observe them.
The rest of these immortals hold disdain for mortals due to their susceptibility to death. If they are aware of the mortal's vulnerability, why do they even approach and observe them?
Indeed, it is impossible for one individual to fully comprehend another's emotions, but certain aspects connect all of humanity.
Based on my understanding, these immortals look down upon mortals. This further exacerbates my disdain towards them, as I cannot eliminate them, I constantly torment them and I beat them non-stop.
Mortals perish easily, regardless of the strength of their spiritual energy. As a mortal, I feel inferior to my own kind and worsen matters for myself.
The world is filled with inexplicable phenomena. The existence of beings such as people, animals, clouds, trees, grass, and the changing seasons is nothing short of a miracle.
There are things that I can observe and feel, which differentiate us as we have not followed the same path.
For instance, abstaining from accompanying my companions would result in my lack of exposure and knowledge.
I would remain unfamiliar with individuals, consequently leading to a perpetual ignorance of the significance of fleeting moments.
Therefore, for the entirety of my existence, I indulge in activities of my choosing which occasionally provoke thoughts of the eventual dissipation of everything upon my demise.
In my perception, the world exhibits a bias towards me as I disrupt established norms, and I once believed that attaining happiness was an arduous endeavor.
Eventually, my parents imparted to me the knowledge that certain individuals possess the power to bestow immortality upon us.
This revelation kindles enthusiasm within me, as I yearn to meet one of these individuals to discuss the prospect of becoming immortal and pledge my undying allegiance as a co-founder of Liberty.
However, my attempts to locate any of these individuals proved fruitless, as I learned that they had taken refuge due to past instances of merciless killings inflicted upon other chosen-ones by the aforementioned founders—a deeply regrettable collaboration.
Nevertheless, I vow to persist in my search for them.
As the days progress, I have found a partner, who happens to be a man. Though he exhibits unkind behavior towards others, he treats me with a sense of uniqueness.
He stands among the allies I possess.
I am uncertain as to why I do not experience romantic feelings towards women. However, I have come to understand that this may be due to my perception of their prideful nature and their tendency to select partners based on their preferences.
Upon discovering the capacity for love between individuals of the same gender, he consistently directed his attention towards me. Initially, I did not appreciate his behavior due to its negative qualities.
"What is the reason behind your gaze?" In an irritated manner, I asked. As I sat in my spacious, modern office, he stood before my desk.
Each time he provided updates regarding his faction, he would fixate his gaze upon me, a prolonged display.
My spoken words caught him off guard, prompting his journey towards the door. I presumed he intended to exit. However, to my surprise, he proceeded to secure the double doors with a barrier.
Filled with fear, I stood up as his actions conveyed a sense of detachment and he approached me from behind, his face devoid of expression.
"Eldio, I am the one who established this organization. Why do you display such behavior? Are you attempting to provoke my expulsion?"
Upon his halt before my desk, a sense of relief washed over me momentarily, assuming he harbored ill intentions towards me. I questioned.
"I have feelings for you, Lukin," He admitted, seemingly serious about his emotions.
"Eldio, I appreciate your feelings towards me, please understand that I am a man," I expressed, rather taken aback by the sudden confession he made.
Despite his sincerity, I cannot deny the urge to reject him.
"It's a difficult decision to make, even if you are serious," I replied, expressing my hesitation.
Eldio, however, remained unfazed and moved away from the table to face me directly.
The room was silent as we were too, there was a triangular window pane before us.
Breaking the silence, I inquired, "What is it that you find appealing about me?"
"I admire your determination to pursue your desires and your ability to strengthen everything, even in the face of adversity," he responded as he looking into each other's eyes.
"Do you genuinely like me to that extent? You are well aware—"
His words elicited a chuckle from me, as I questioned him further but, before I could finish my sentence, he surprised me by kissing me passionately, leaving me speechless.
Our first kiss was exchanged at that moment.
Without uttering a word, he kissed me again, this time picking me up and moving me to the table.
I let out a small gasp in response.
As I sat on the table, he continued to shower me with kisses, his arms embracing my waist, while we remained the only two individuals in the room this morning.
The physical contact between us seemed to weaken me, both emotionally and physically.
He positioned my body onto the table while continuing to kiss me. Abruptly, he removed both my black pants and underwear without my consent. I attempted to push him away, but his strength prevented any backward movement.
I was unable to utter a word due to his lips obstructing mine, and he would cease when I couldn't breathe, only to resume kissing me once I regained some air.
Considering his demon ancestry and my mortal status, I knew I would ultimately succumb.
"Ah!" Experiencing pain, I emitted a moan when he forcefully thrust his thing over my perineum without obtaining my consent. He persisted in kissing me despite my discomfort. The sound of my loud moans reverberated within the tranquil room, accompanied by the motion of our bodies.
I allowed it to persist until I lost consciousness. When I regained awareness, I found myself in bed, noticing that it was already nighttime. He lay beside me, embracing me while asleep, both of us devoid of clothing. After everything that had transpired, I found myself harboring a deep sense of anger towards him.
Despite this, I acquiesced to his confession, as he had made physical contact with me. This is the current state of our relationship - two individuals intertwined in secrecy, deeply in love, and content with one another.
Today, we stand here within the magnificent realm of the Great Ueno Empire, I never anticipated encountering one of the chosen ones.
It brought me great joy, albeit tinged with frustration as she arrived tardily after an extensive wait.
Eldio and I engaged in conversation, during which I uttered regrettable words that I now lament. Thankfully, he did not abandon me.
I am aware that superiority lies with them, for they have been chosen by the divine. However, I yearn to emerge victorious over her and implore her to cease her concealment.
We initiated an assault, yet her physique remained unyielding, defying the impact we imparted upon it. This disconcerted us, compelling us to intensify our offensive maneuvers.
As her body became drenched in a pool of blood, I pondered why she failed to retaliate.
My confusion lingered, only to be abruptly interrupted by a sudden recoil of our bodies. Eldio swiftly teleported behind me to prevent my fall.
As we gazed upon her, our eyes widened in utter astonishment.
According to aura flow, it is not visible, although her aura flow has the capability of being observed.
"L-Lukin! What did I tell you?! Let us depart immediately!"
"W-What the hell is going on?"
We experienced great fear as what we witnessed was the intertwining of her aura flow consisting of red, blue, and dark hues, spinning around her like a tornado.
The ambiance momentarily brightened, only to darken once again within the confines of the capital, due to her influential presence as the pillar.
"Escape is futile."
Upon uttering those words, our ability to move became immobilized.
– – Why is this happening? My intention was solely to confront her, yet I sensed an impending demise.
