My NTR Harem

The only proof that the insects actually had almost devoured his body was his torn clothes, which had several holes all over.

Lucian looked around on the floor where hundreds of thousands of insects were present just moments ago.

"They are dying?" he mumbled in surprise as he saw the tiny insects\' bodies turn into ashes before disappearing completely.

The bodies of all the insects popped one after another, and within a few seconds, all the beetles were dead. The previously black surface now looked metallic.

"The queen is dead? How did she die?" Lucian raised his hands and held his head, feeling as if he was forgetting something.

\'I-I saw something, what was it?\' he wondered. Lucian remembered seeing a person, but he couldn\'t exactly remember who that person was.

"!!!" But in the next moment, he noticed that his right arm was back and looked exactly the same; there was no injury on it.

"How did it grow back? Is this a dream too? Zero, do you know something?" Lucian asked, looking and pinching his arm to check if it was really fine.

[ I don\'t remember anything either. All those beetles had covered you, and for a moment, I thought you would be devoured, but then they all just fell down from your body, and then the arm was back to normal. ]

Zero\'s words appeared inside his head as she came onto his right arm\'s wrist.

Lucian needed a few seconds to calm down, then he noticed that the red tattoo that had been on his body for some time now seemed a bit different.

The tattoo was originally red with some black lines over it, but now strange black dots had appeared all over the tattoo. Lucian didn\'t feel any kind of difference.

"Uh... Zero, these dots aren\'t those beetles or something, right? Why did this change occur?" Lucian asked, remembering how the insects devouring his arm still made him shiver a little.

[ I think these are the same insect-like creatures, but I don\'t know how they appeared there or if they can be dangerous to you, so don\'t try anything for now. Give me some time. ]

"Okay." He nodded and decided not to think about these for now. He felt completely exhausted and just wanted to go back home, eat his fill, drink a lot of clean water, and have a long sleep.

Even Velm had weakened a little, but after its meal, it would be back to normal.

Lucian stretched both his wings, and in the next moment, he flew upwards. Going up wasn\'t as easy as he expected. When he had come down, he only broke a shape out of the metallic layer, which was not enough for the wings to flap completely.

After more than ten minutes, Lucian was floating in the air as he stared at his surroundings.

All the insects were really gone.

"Wait, do I have to travel for another week just to go back to that Chasm? Sigh, I don\'t want to." He sighed and felt like hitting someone.

Even if the travel now would be safer and faster with all the insects gone, he would still need to fly for a few days, and he didn\'t have any food and only a little water, so he didn\'t want to stay here any longer.

[ Don\'t worry, there is another Chasm nearby. You can use it to reach Earth. ]

"How far is it from here? And where will I appear once I pass through it?" Lucian asked, his eyes gazing in the distance.

Lucian had forgotten about it, but when he was unconscious, a large amount of Fog had entered his body.

All the fog that the insects had released was absorbed into his body, so it could be said that he had almost slaughtered an entire planet on his own.

The number of the beetle insects was so large; aside from a few beasts, the insects consisted of the entire population of the planet.

Normally, the process of evolution slows down as one progresses further, and to go from the beginning of the 2nd Phase to the peak, one would need to go into several Chasms and kill many creatures at the 2nd Phase.

And Lucian had just absorbed the Fog of so many creatures, due to which he was able to reach almost the peak of the 2nd Phase.

He would need to go into one more Chasm, and he would definitely be able to reach the 3rd Phase, so many insects dying was definitely a great thing for him.

"Wait, my body is yet to absorb the entire Fog; maybe it will be enough to bring me to the peak of the 2nd Phase or even to the early 3rd Phase," Lucian exclaimed as he noticed that his body was still absorbing the excess amount of Fog.

[ I\'ll indicate the way. If you fly at the same speed as earlier, you will be there in around... hmm, let\'s say less than one day, and you\'ll come out of the same Chasm. ]

"I see, then let\'s head back." Mumbling, Lucian didn\'t waste any time as he turned and flew in the direction indicated by Zero.

It took Lucian almost 22 hours before he finally saw a Chasm in the distance. He was extremely tired and hungry.

Stopping in front of the Chasm, Lucian first changed his clothes since they were torn and bloodied.

While flying, he had found a couple of beasts which became Velm\'s food.

"Sigh, let\'s go back. I really felt this time that I was going to die here." Lucian dragged his body toward the Chasm, and without any doubt, he stepped inside.

...

After the familiar sensation of going through a Chasm, Lucian once again found himself in the underground sewage area, and this place looked as peaceful as before.

"They didn\'t find out about this Chasm, right? Also, should I use the same route to leave this place?" he questioned as he looked around.

[ No, there are guards stationed outside, so it wouldn\'t be good to go through that path. I\'ll show you another route which is a little cramped but will bring you outside safely. ]

Lucian didn\'t say anything in return and just nodded; he was just too tired and wanted a good long sleep after a delicious meal.

Lucian needed to go through the pipes that could barely fit his body inside, but because of Velm\'s help, he was able to move upwards in small spaces.

After moving through the pipes for more than thirty minutes, Lucian finally found the exit. Without wasting a heartbeat, he pushed the thing blocking his exit and jumped up.

Once again, he was back to the outside world.

He sucked in the fresh air, while feeling the ache all over his body.

Just as he was about to find a spot to fly away, Lucian heard some loud noises from some distance away.

It seemed to be some kind of rally or something. At first, he wasn\'t curious, but then he heard something that pulled his attention.

"WE ARE \'BROKEN\', \'GOLD\'."

All of them were shouting various things, but these words were what pulled Lucian\'s attention.

\'Broken and Gold, they sound familiar.\'

They sounded normal, but Lucian felt that he knew something about it.

"Well, I can hold on for a little longer." Calming his mind and belly, Lucian began to walk towards the hundreds of people who were walking and shouting.

They were holding various posters in their hands and had filled the roads completely, even though this area was relatively less populated.

"What is happening here?" Lucian approached one of the men who was busy shouting along with the others in the rally.

The man was in his twenties and was wearing a business suit.

"Don\'t you know it?" the man asked as if he had received the shock of his life. He couldn\'t believe that there really was someone who didn\'t know about it.

"Uh... Yes, I was busy fighting monsters." Lucian added impatiently; he was so tired that he might just collapse there and fall asleep.

"Sigh, have you not heard the greatest song in the history of mankind? \'BROKEN,\' don\'t you know it? Tsk, I can\'t believe there really is someone who doesn\'t know about Lord Gold." The man looked angry, as if Lucian had just made a mama joke on him.

He harrumphed and walked away while resuming his shouts along with the other people.

There were a lot of men and women, young and old, even a lot of teenagers wearing school uniforms.

" Ah right, Broken is the song I released and Gold was the name of my account. " Lucian mumbled as his sleepy mind finally remembered, but this revelation made him even more suprised and confused.

All of this was caused because of his song?

Lucian wondered what had happened while he was gone and why were these people doing such things.

But right now, all he wanted was a comfortable bed.

Barely keeping his eyes open, Lucian moved away from them and soon found a secluded place from where he could take off his flight.

" Zero, show me the way towards my home, I\'ll fly at my full speed. " Saying that, he stretched the wings that appeared out of nowhere on his back.

[ Alright, just fly in the direction I display. ]
