Saya was breathtaking.
The moment she turned to look at Julius, something struck him. Maybe it was the stillness after the storm, or maybe the way her eyes met his so gently.
He realized it now—she was truly beautiful.
Her deep brown eyes, framed by long, delicate lashes, her bangs, all of them held a softness that contradicted the destruction she'd just unleashed. Her pink lips, slightly parted, looked so alluring they almost distracted from everything else.
From the loose neck of her black kimono, her cleavage was clearly visible, drawing the eye unintentionally. Her waist curved with perfect grace. Her entire body seemed sculpted—the ideal form, both elegant and dangerous.
Saya gracefully slid her katana back into its sheath with a whisper of steel, then began walking toward Julius.
Her walk itself was seductive—every step sending her hips into a rhythmic sway, like a silent dance. It was subtle, yet magnetic. Enough to steal breath, enough to melt the hearts of men.
But before Julius could admire more... his body gave in.
The pain, the blood loss—it was too much.
His vision blurred, and he lost consciousness.
Saya, unaware, reached a few meters from him, knelt down and said softly:
"Mission completed, Master."
There was no response.
She blinked.
Turning her gaze to him, she finally noticed—Julius was unconscious on the ground.
Saya smiled slightly.
Then, gently, she leaned toward him.
Back in the real world, inside Julius's apartment, Sapphire and Sebastian stood silently in his bedroom.
Julius lay unconscious on his white bed, motionless but alive. His heartbeat, pulse, and breath were stable—but his consciousness wasn't in this world.
It was still inside Eclipse Conquest: Omega.
The room was well-decorated—posters of anime girls in bikinis plastered the wall, much to Sapphire's surprise.
She hadn't expected this side of Julius.
Sebastian, on the other hand, already knew.
A gaming desk and chair stood to one corner, a high-end PC still powered on. Two cabinets—one casual, one formal. The walls were painted cyan, with a deep blue ceiling overhead.
A bookshelf, a study table, an AC unit, and a fan quietly spun above. On top of one cabinet sat a VR headset, idle.
A glass door led to a balcony, sunlight barely piercing through.
It was a luxurious apartment, though Julius lived alone—unmarried, and as far as anyone knew, his family background was a mystery.
Back in the game—
Julius opened his eyes slowly.
His vision cleared to the sight of a wooden ceiling, made of oak logs, and walls of the same rustic design. He was lying on a soft bed made of large jungle leaves, freshly arranged.
Next to him, Saya knelt quietly, watching over him.
Julius sat up, and suddenly—everything rushed back.
The battle. The blood. The pain. The moment he lost consciousness.
Instinctively, he looked at his left hand—the one that had been severed.
But it was… back.
Completely healed. No pain, no scars. No stitching.
He stared in disbelief.
Then turned to Saya.
She was watching him silently.
Then softly said:
"Good morning, Master."
Julius blinked, still trying to process.
"Who... who are you?"
Saya replied calmly:
"Your Maiden, Master."
He frowned, confusion deepening.
"Open Menu."
The floating cyan screen appeared.
The usual options were there—Inventory, Stats, Money, Player Info, Equipment, Alliances, Party, Friends, Map, Teleport...
But some new options had appeared, and one was missing.
New: Maiden Gacha V2, Maidens, Roses
Missing: Save and Quit
Julius stared at the menu.
"Save and Quit is gone… The system's bugged. That means I can't leave anymore… huh..."
His voice trailed into a sigh—tired, defeated.
Saya remained silent but alert. She had heard every word.
"Open Maiden Gacha V2."
The system responded, and a cyan window appeared.
[Do you want to roll the gacha?]
[Yes] [No]
Julius frowned.
"No."
He issued the next command:
"Maidens."
[You have currently 1 Maiden]
[Saya]
Next to Saya's name, in tiny font, was the word [info].
"Open Saya info."
[Saya: A Maiden rolled from the Maiden Gacha V2. Her rarity is R (Rare). She belongs to a samurai village. Her father was the strongest samurai in his village, but the village was annihilated during a raid by an unknown king's army. Saya was the only survivor, later taken in by a female samurai who trained her. That same king attacked again years later. In the battle, Saya slew the king but lost her master. She is now deeply loyal to her new master: Airu Koruto.
She wields two katanas: one black, one white—representing yin and yang. Their origins are unknown.]
He gave another command, now more curious than confused.
"Info on Maiden Gacha V2."
[Maiden Gacha V2 is a mysterious power of unknown origin. It is an upgraded version of the original Maiden Gacha. In this version, only Rare (R) and above maidens can be summoned. No Common or Uncommon ranks. Weapons and armor are removed from the gacha. Only maidens are available.]
Julius exhaled sharply.
"Unknown origin? What the hell is this nonsense..."
Saya turned slightly toward him and asked sweetly:
"Master, is there any problem?"
Julius looked at her—and the longer he looked, the more distracted he became.
She was so hot...
Her eyes, her lips, her curves...
He swallowed awkwardly, trying not to stare.
And barely managed to stutter:
"N–no..."
Saya leaned forward slightly and asked softly:
"So, do you have any more orders, Master?"
Julius paused, thinking. Her words echoed in his mind for a few seconds as he glanced at her again—kneeling patiently, waiting.
After a short silence, he finally asked:
"What exactly can you do for me… and what can't you?"
Saya lowered her head slightly in a respectful bow. Her voice was calm and honest:
"The only thing I cannot do, Master, is hurt you. Everything else... I can do. From battle to sex—anything you desire, Master."
Her posture, kneeling so low, made her kimono stretch against her chest. The way she bowed forward, her breasts pressed tight, looking dangerously close to spilling from the loose fabric.
Julius turned flustered at the sight and quickly slapped both palms on his cheeks to ground himself.
"Control. You're a 27-year-old man now…" he muttered to himself, trying to push away the thoughts.
But honestly—it wasn't entirely his fault.
She really was... too hot to ignore.
He looked back at her and hesitated before asking:
"Can you really… I mean... like you said... can you really do those kinds of things with me?"
Saya met his gaze.
Her eyes were warm. She smiled gently—the way a newlywed bride would look at her husband on their first night—and softly said:
"Yes, Master."
Julius felt his throat dry up.
He gulped hard.
This was going to be... his first time—with a woman.
And that woman, was a stunning samurai maiden who had sworn to serve him completely.
