Reawakened with a Dual Survival System in the Apocalypse.-Chapter 40: To battle for pride.

Bang!!!

Adonis stood at the entrance of the classroom, knocking at the door.

Jayhan was still near the windows, panting heavily, after exhausting himself from his earlier sprint.

Seo, who was closest to the door, was the one to attend to him.

With her hand lingering on the doorknob, she asked,

"Are the monsters near you?" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

To which Adonis replied,

"They seem to be outside the building; they are nowhere here. You need not worry."

Calmly, Seo opened the door, and Adonis walked in.

As soon as he was in, the first person he turned his focus to was Jayhan.

No words were spoken, but the tension around them was high.

And then, Jayhan finally spoke,

"What the hell was that out there? Were you planning to get her killed?"

Adonis didn’t say a word.

"As much as I know you want to be better, you should listen to my instructions before going off on your own. Your stupidity could have cost Seo her life. Do you get that?"

Seo remained at the side, choosing not to get involved.

"I would like to leave the group," said Adonis, a stoic expression on his face.

Jayhan glared.

’I guess it’s about that time.’

"What the hell are you saying?" Seo stepped in between them. "I am not trying to stop you, but we don’t know what will happen if you leave the group. It could affect us as well."

"No, it won’t," Jayhan replied. "Our punishment will be a 1000 coins deduction daily, and I can afford that until we find a new member. The one who will get the most loss out of this is Adonis himself."

Adonis gave a daggering look.

"Is your Divine Protector feeding you with information again?"

Jayhan simply responded,

"The moment you leave this group, your divine protection will be transferred to the leader, and in addition, you will carry on the same punishment, only yours will be 1000 coins every hour. I won’t stop you from leaving, but you should know, I did warn you."

Adonis clenched his fist.

"What?"

"I won’t tell you not to. You are a grown man, capable of making your own decisions."

Jayhan tapped the air before him, and a screen popped up in front of Adonis.

(Request to exit group.

Yes or NO.)

"Even now, you still managed to make it all about you. Do you have any idea how much I despise you?

With the amount of intellect you have, and strength to back it up, why is it you still cling to the ideals of this worthless world?"

Jayhan listened to Adonis.

"You call yourself a leader, Jayhan? What’s that even mean in a world like this? Where gods play games with our lives, and we’re all just rats scrambling for scraps? I don’t see strength in you—not the kind that matters. You’ve got your girls, your plans, your calm little mask, but where’s the conviction? Where’s the will to tear this world apart and make it your own? I’ve spent my life searching for something worth fighting for, something worth dying for, and I’m not about to chain myself to someone who’s just playing it safe. If I follow you, it’s because you’ve earned it—because you’ve shown me you can forge a path through this hell, not just survive it. So step up, or step aside, because I’m done waiting for someone else to give my life meaning."

Jayhan stood there, a calm look on his face.

’...Only now, do I truly understand you... what you want is to be relevant, and nothing more.’

In the game, all Jayhan saw the character Adonis as was a nuisance, someone who always managed to piss him off with every scene.

Unlike Seo Yuna, who had a bit of backstory to her name, Adonis got nothing.

As such, Jayhan didn’t know anything about him, other than his need to stand out from others and always be the best.

"You think if you had the strength, you could go against the Taskmaster?"

"This new world has only just begun, and you have proven to always be several steps ahead; with a couple more months, you will grow even stronger. I know myself to be a winner, to have something like that; stealing my group member’s moment or battling with local thieves will be the last thing on my mind."

Jayhan sighed, "You really are quite the idiot."

"What?"

"Your divine protectors, powerful as they are, all follow the Taskmaster’s rules and dare not object. People whose powers you rely on. Tell me, what do you think you could do even if you had the power?"

Adonis could not give a response.

While Adonis himself was limited to the information he had, he still knew it was stupid to put up a fight against the Taskmaster, especially when he knew how powerful the game perceived him to be.

If he truly wanted to restore the world back to normal, then finishing the game was his best bet. And for that, he needed all the resources he could gather.

Adonis raised both his hands.

"For the first time in a long while, I let my emotions get the better of me. I guess even I have my weakness. That said, until I am certain, my mind will not be at rest."

"You want to battle me."

"I want to battle you. And I am not making a request this time; if I win, hand over Seo to me, but if you win, you won’t ever hear me complain again. Do we have a deal?"

’Good, I was waiting for this to play out from the start. In as much as Adonis is unbearable, his powers are still very impressive. It’s not something I wish to easily let go. I just had to wait until his ego was shatterd...to rebuild it again’

Jayhan then responded,

"As you wish, we’ll have the battle you want."

"Good, I’ll be waiting outside."

And with that, Adonis turned around and exited the room; not once did he look at Seo Yuna.

The moment he left, Seo looked at Jayhan.

"Are you really going to fight him?"

"Yes, he needs a good beating."

Seo took a deep breath.

"When you say stuff like that, it really makes you look hot."

Right after, she covered her mouth, looking to the ground.

Jayhan simply smiled and then proceeded to walk towards the door.

"You stay here; once the Slime Bats are gone, we’ll head back to the plaza."

"Wait!"

He was about to open the door when Seo grabbed him by the arm and pushed him to the ground, before getting on top of him to pin him down.

[The character Seo is aggressively attracted to you.]

Jayhan was a bit surprised to see Seo’s face so close to his, her breath hot and heavy while her face was bright red.

They stared at each other for a while.

"Seo?"

"Don’t say anything, please; it will only make things worse..."

Jayhan could have sworn he saw a love sign pop up in her eyes.

During the first stages of a curse, it would often be very hard to control, as one has not fully learned how to control it.

That was exactly what Seo was facing; due to her nature of always being self-reserved, she had always had to deal with her emotions by herself, all the time.

Old habits die hard.

With such a curse on her, her emotions were flying all over the place.

No matter how hard she fights it, she will still lose to the curse in the end. Not until she knows how to control it.

"Don’t fight it." Jayhan looked her in the eye. "The curse will only get stronger; it’s okay, do what you must. I’ll explain it to Kara la—"

Not a single word after, and Seo had already kissed him.

She stuck her tongue into his mouth, sucking out every single bit of saliva she could find.

Meanwhile, her boobs and ass were pressed against him.

Jayhan’s erection had begun to rise from underneath his trousers, poking Seo in her panties.

Seo suddenly pulled away from the kiss, her eyes having a somewhat light pinkish glow as she placed her hand on his crotch.

"I’m sorry, Jayhan, but I...I can’t help myself, I want it."

She uttered while stroking his cock with the fabric covering it.

Jayhan felt a wave of pleasure wash over him; not only was Seo’s skin soft that it felt like she was going to melt on him, her expressions were enough to make him cum if he wasn’t fighting it.

’This can’t be good...’

He focused his gaze on the ceiling, Seo’s boobs wobbling in front of him as she continued to give him a handjob while unbuttoning his shirt.

Soon after, Seo zipped down his pants, allowing his dick to bounce right out.

As soon as she laid her eyes on it, the size caught her off guard, but the smile of pleasure was still hitched on her face.

"Please allow me..."

She slithered down like a snake, grabbing Jayhan’s cock with both hands, her tongue out for the saliva to drip on the rod.
