First Step

" So, that's what happened." Ares left the City Affairs Office with a bundle of papers proving his ownership of some property as part of the inheritance left by his parents.

After finishing his meeting with the Time Dragon, Ashcroft, decided it was time to finish any outstanding matters before entering the academy.

One of these was to get his share of the inheritance, but he was surprised that his brother York had taken all the magic stones, leaving him a bunch of papers.

From a third party's point of view, it may seem that York appreciates his older brother, so he leaves him the largest share of the inheritance.

But Ares knew it was a far cry from what was happening.

And now, he had to look for a way to make the highest possible profit from these properties.

Fortunately, he didn't have to search for long. After getting the necessary information about Storm Island and the three major cities, he had a certain idea of what he could do.

Yes, Ares' request to the Dragon of Time was for information.

Helping to become stronger or get a treasure wasn't what he wanted, but information. Information about everything and everyone on this island.

But the current situation of the city does not allow him to act as he wants, so he will have to wait a few more days.

York opened the door of his house and entered.

And after making sure the house was safe, he went down to the basement.

Back to earlier.

When Ada woke up in a sleepy state, she found herself in a dark room.

She shrugged her head, trying to stand up subconsciously.

But she soon found out that her arms were tied behind her back, the rope looped around her neck; she was tied tightly to a l wall.

All the inscriptions on her body had been plundered away by Ares.

Since the way the masters of inscription use their powers is to incorporate all kinds of inscriptions on the walls of their inner worlds, any inscription master can loot them as long as the opposite side shows no resistance.

However, he will have to be careful, as once the inscriptions are incorporated into the walls of their inner worlds, the awareness of the inscription master merges with these inscriptions, giving them the ability to destroy them with just an idea when necessary.

Ada was merely a young girl — with that frail body, how could she break free from the thick ropes wrapped a few times around her body?

Being trapped in this depressing and unfamiliar place, the young girl started to feel frightened.

She thought about the moment before she had fainted; That guy with the weird hairstyle plus Ares, who brought her to this place?

The young girl was tied helplessly, but her thoughts quickly flipped like pages of a book.

The more she thought, the more frightened she got, and she started sobbing uncontrollably.

At this moment, footsteps were heard.

Soon, Ares's silhouette was seen emerging from the shadows.

*********

Nowadays.

Ada eyes immediately opened wide, "Ares, are you here to help me?"

"No, I am only helping myself." Ares grinned, revealing an evil intent.

"Ares, what do you want, let go of me now! Otherwise, my master will deal with you." hearing Ares, Ada struggled intensely, her slim legs stomping on the ground like a small deer that fell into a trap.

"You sure are lively," Ares coldly snorted.

Ares's eyes were emitting cold light. He stared into Ada's eyes, placing his right hand on her snowy white neck at the same time, slowly pressing it with force. Ada's pupils shrank and her voice was full of panic. "Ares, you're hurting me."

Ares did not answer, but his hold on her neck grew stronger. His left hand climbed up her chest and ruthlessly grabbed her soft breasts, making them incredibly deformed all of a sudden.

Intense pain flared from her chest; Ada's eyes were round and wide-opened.

The pain was so great that her eyes were full of tears. She wanted to scream, but Ares gripped her throat so strongly that in the end, she could only sob a few times. Then she started resisting strongly, for she was going to suffocate!

But at this moment, Ares slowly relaxed his grip.

Ada immediately opened her mouth and gulped in the air greedily. Her breathing was too eager – resulting in a series of violent coughs. Ares laughed lightly, stretching out his hand.

Swoosh!

His right hand moved quickly, grabbing Ada's clothes, and pulled.

"Wh.. what are you doing?!"

Soon the clothes were torn, and her naked body appeared.

"Ah—!!!" The young girl was stunned momentarily before shrieking loudly, frantically struggling. Even though her tender muscles bled due to friction from the ropes, she couldn't care less.

"Such a cute appearance, lovable indeed," Ares commented.

Once Ada was completely naked, Ares feasted his eyes upon her beautiful body.

She had a sculpted figure which was like an hourglass. Her waist was narrow and she had a blushing complexion. Her delicate skin was silky smooth and pale as white jade. A pair of breasts topped with erected pink tips.

However, even when facing such a scene, Ares remained calm and still. If it was anyone else besides Ares seeing her bare body, they would've already pounced on her like a dog during the mating season.

"No, no!" She was extremely frightened, crying out loudly. As she thought of all the various possible ways Ares was going to deal with her, her whole body shook and trembled.

However, Ares did not continue as she expected, instead, he stood up and moved backward.

Ares took out a paintbrush and a flask filled with a strange liquid that he had previously made based on his experience and ingredients he had previously obtained from the market.

"Ada, you have to be proud, you're the one who will pave the way for me to take the first step into the future," Ares said with a cold sparkle in his eyes.
