As Quinn stood alone in the center of his shitty room, feeling the raw unbridled energy coursing through his body...

Then...

BOOM!!!

A thunderous sound reverberated through the entire room, the impact was so strong that the floor beneath him cracked.

Quinn stood back, his eyes widening in pure shock at the devastating blow he unleashed.

’Woahh....’

A gaping hole, nearly 3 meters deep... can be seen into the room. The entire wall was obliterated...with spiderweb cracks reaching up to the ceiling.

"Holy... that was so fucking strong!"

The exhilaration of the power only lasted few seconds before the cold reality that made his balls quiver. Panic can be seen in his eyes as Quinn looked at the gaping hole.

"Shit!! How am I supposed to explain this!?"

He looked left and right, looking for a reasonable excuse, but nothing ckme up! Then, Quinn’s heart nearly stopped, a sharp, rhythmic knocking sounded at the door... without any delay the door opened..

Fortunately it was Lyra who came...

"Phew... I thought I was dead..." Quinn blurted out after seeing it was Lyra ...

Lyra’s usually stoic face cracked with disbelief. She stood in the doorway, eyes darting from the half naked Quinn to the massive hole in the wall.

"You...are.. really dead!! W-what happened here!?" she shouted.

The cold, distant persona she maintained outside was completely gone! It was replaced by utter shock!!

"Umm... I can explain..." Quinn said, looking sheepishly at his feet. He is really in deep trouble now!

"Explain it now! Hah... my head hurts just looking at this..." Lyra said while massaging her temples, her mind circled..this is definitely something that cant be explained by mere words alone...the gaping hole is the testament itself!!

"Well, you see... I just punched the wall, and then...boom, this happened."

Lyra’s mouth hung open. She stared at him, convinced he was bullshitting her.

"Really? Do you think I’m that stupid? Do you think anyone will believe you?! That a Tier 1 slave can do this with a single punch!?"

"I don’t have a better explanation! And I am speaking the truth.." Quinn was panicking now not knowing what to do...

He expected her to help him think of a lie, but instead, he was met with a sudden movement, a guy wrenching punched went through his gut!!

BOOM!!!

Quinn was thrown like a ragdoll, stumbling through the air straight to the gaping hole!

’Argh... w-what... why did Lyra punch me?’ His mind raced, not expecting to recieved a devastating punch from her..

But his questions was answered after a booming sound echoed...

"What happened here?"

A voice, cold and heavy with a dreadful aura, filled the room. A Nekoball stepped through the entrance. The pressure it emitted was so suffocating that both Lyra and Quinn felt like gasping...

"Great Nekoball..." Lyra said, her voice dripping with respect as she bowed her head deeply, not daring to look the creature.

"This rat refused to become my plaything. He was being acting hard..., so I am punishing this rat."

"Hmm?..." The Nekoball’s gaze shifted toward the hole where Quinn was slumped. It narrowed its eyes, sensing the boy was still alive despite the impact...

"How did this rat survive such an impact? That punch was enough to kill a tier 1...not to mention a rat."

"This rat... he is one of the rising stars of our quarters, Great Nekoball. They gave this rat a title called The Defier...’

"Oho... the Defier? That’s interesting," the Nekoball mused. It hovered closer, its presence is so dreadful that Quinn felt like collapsing...

"Well? Do you want me to kill this insect for wasting my time, or not?"

"N-no..." Lyra said, her voice trembling slightly but remained firm.

"I will take responsibility for him. I will take him with me to ensure he is... properly broken..."

The Nekoball hummed for a moment, the silence in the room deafening.

"Very well. You may own him for now, this rat will be assigned to his next cell soon. Expect the orders within 3 days."

With a sudden flicker, the Nekoball vanished as if it had never been there, as well its suffocating aura..

....

"Phew,... I thought I am dead..." Lyra let out a long breath, her shoulders slumped as the great burden from the mere presence of the Nekoball...

She looked over at the gaping hole. "Stop acting now, Quinn. I know you’re not hurt that much...."

The moment the words left her lips Quinn moved, his entire body disappeared from where he layed...

Whoosh...!

Lyra gasped, shock to see how fast Quinn moved...as he was standing directly behind her, a mischievous grin plastered on his face....

"H-how!? How are you so fast, Quinn!?"

"Hehe... I wasn’t joking about what I said earlier," he replied smoothly while touching her ass...

"You pervert! You nearly died, and you’re already acting like this!?" She tried getting away...but it was futile, her face was flushed like a red tomato.

"Hehe... you’re the pervert here, Lyra. Why did you tell him I was your

plaything? Is it because you really can’t live without seeing me anymore?...hmm??" Quinn playfully pinched her blushing cheeks.

Lyra went quiet...to shy to say something..

"Lyra..." he whispered, leaning into her ear.

"Hmnnn?" she responded, her body shifting closer to his.

"Thank you," he said softly, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Pervert..." she mumbled under her breath, though she didn’t reject the kiss.

"Hehe... so, will you be mine now?" Quinn teased, his hand moving to her voluptuous curves... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I think I deserve another reward for surviving that punch of yours~"

"Hah... you are truly a problem," Lyra sighed, though she leaned her body

"Let’s go. Someone will be here shortly to clean up this mess. I don’t want them seeing us like this."

"Okay, okay... lead the way~"

Quinn followed her out of the room. They went straight to her room, after all she told the Great Nekoball that Quinn was her plaything!
