Nathan couldn't move, the young Rabbit began to caress his cheek and leaned in with a gentle smile.
'Optimal Devouring.'
Nathan recalled his skill. "If I can devour anything from this crazy Rabbit monster, I might gain strong physical abilities and escape," he murmured.
As the young Rabbit's face got even closer, Nathan swallowed hard. He noticed sweat trickling down the Rabbit's temple.
"Fuck... I'll do it."
Without warning, Nathan licked the Rabbit's face, startling the young Rabbit, and then swallowed its sweat.
[Ding!]
> You have consumed [Rabbit Fighter's Sweat].
> You gained 10 XP.
> New skill acquired: [Monster Linguist]
Nathan was annoyed.
"Wait... what?"
The two rabbit monsters reflexively flinched in surprise. The Rabbit Milf who had been hugging him immediately let go and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Aww... He can talking now!" she said in a gentle voice.
Nathan quickly stood up, annoyed, his face turning red with anger.
"I'm an adult human! Stop treating me like a baby, you weird rabbits!" he shouted, pointing at them.
However, the two rabbits only gave a slight smile. They stood up, revealing their bodies, which were much taller than Nathan.
Nathan froze. He had just realized… that his height, which was just average, was still shorter than theirs. The Rabbit Milf had a seductive figure, while the young rabbit looked athletic, despite still having an innocent expression on her face.
Then, the young rabbit approached again, gently stroking Nathan's cheek.
"Cute," she murmured with a teasing smile.
The Rabbit Milf chuckled softly at Nathan's flustered reaction. Placing a gentle hand on his shoulder, she smiled warmly.
"My name is Domina," she introduced herself. "And this is my younger sister, Livia."
Livia gave a playful nod, her eyes still fixed on Nathan with amusement.
Before he could respond, Domina suddenly pulled him into a warm embrace, pressing him against her soft body.
"If you miss your mother, you can call me Mommy," she whispered teasingly in his ear.
Nathan's entire body stiffened. His face turned bright red, and he instinctively lowered his head in embarrassment—only to suddenly remember…
He was still completely naked.
A shiver ran down his spine as realization hit him. Slowly, he looked down at himself, then up at the two rabbit women, who were clearly aware of his predicament.
Livia smirked, tilting her head.
"Little Brother..." she teased.
Nathan's face twitched, his mind screaming in frustration. He was being treated like a lost child, not the grown warrior he actually was.
"I'm not a kid! My Name is NATHAN..." he snapped, stepping back from Domina's embrace. "And where are my clothes?"
Dominablinked, tilting her head. "Oh... your clothes? Inside the cave." She pointed toward the dark entrance behind them.
Nathan clicked his tongue. His upper body was already exposed—his hoodie and shirt had been torn apart earlier when Livia forced him to strip for a bath. Now, he was left standing in nothing but his bare skin and the cool air against his body. Without another word, he stomped off toward the cave, eager to at least put some pants on and reclaim what little dignity he had left.
However, before he could get too far, a soft pair of arms wrapped around him from behind.
"Wait," Dominawhispered, hugging him tightly.
Nathan stiffened as her warmth pressed against his back.
"Tell me..." she purred, her breath tickling his ear. "Is licking someone's face a form of greeting among your kind?"
Nathan blinked, confusion momentarily overriding his embarrassment. "My kind?"
Dominapulled back slightly, peeLiviag at him with curiosity.
Nathan sighed. "No, licking faces isn't how we greet each other. I just..." He hesitated, not wanting to explain his skill. "I panicked, okay?"
Livia pouted. "Aw... So it wasn't a greeting? Then why did you lick me?"
Nathan clenched his jaw, struggling to find a response. Before he could, Dominasuddenly tightened her hold.
"In that case..." she murmured, her voice turning sulky, "I feel left out."
Nathan's stomach dropped. "Wait—"
"You licked Livia but not me," she continued, her ears twitching in what seemed like annoyance. "It's unfair."
Nathan gulped. "T-That's not—"
"Fix it."
"What—?"
"Lick me too."
Nathan's eyes widened. "Excuse me?!"
Domina's expression was dead serious. She wasn't letting go.
He swallowed hard, his throat dry. Sweat trickled down his temple as he realized Dominawasn't joking.
'Oh, shit… she's seriously mad about this?'
Livia giggled, watching the scene unfold. "Oh, you're in trouble now~"
Nathan hesitated. He could feel the pressure of Domina's embrace increasing. If he refused… would she strangle him? Keep him here?
His thoughts raced. 'Damn it. If I don't do it, she's not gonna let me go. But if I do…'
He exhaled sharply.
'Fuck it.'
Closing his eyes, he leaned in, hesitated for a split second, and then—
—he licked Domina's cheek.
It was warm. Soft. Tasted… oddly sweet?
The moment his tongue made contact, Domina's ears perked up. Her cheeks flushed, and her grip on him loosened.
Livia gasped dramatically. "Ohhh, he really did it!"
Dominalet out a small, satisfied sigh, as if she had won something.
"There. That's better," she murmured.
Nathan stepped back, his heart still pounding. 'That was dangerous…'
Shaking off his nerves, he bolted toward the cave, desperate to escape before they demanded anything worse.
Inside, he found his pants and underwear folded neatly on a rock. He grabbed them, quickly pulling them on, and finally managed to cover himself.
Only then did he allow himself to take a deep breath.
But as he calmed down, his mind replayed what had just happened. Something felt… off.
His skill didn't work.
Nathan frowned. He had swallowed Domina's sweat, just like before, but this time… nothing changed. No boost, no new ability, no energy flowing into him.
'Why?'
He clenched his fists. 'There has to be a reason. Maybe my skill only works under certain conditions… or maybe it depends on who I absorb from?'
Nathan narrowed his eyes.
'No matter what… I need to figure this out.'
