Closing the door to his bedroom quietly, Cynrik found Selene fast asleep with a lewd smile on her face on his bed.
“Tsk, this girl, she finished her enlightennt and went to bed.” Clicking his tongue, Cynrik ignored her and walked over to the two tall devices on the opposite side of the room.
Stepping up to the first of the two Incubators, he triple-checked that everything was in order. He began the final steps before placing his eggs inside the hatching chamber to apply more of his Mana into the reservoir.
According to the instruction manual, this was to create an environnt that would allow for quick bonding between the creature/beast and the being hatching them.
This step was pivotal for creatures like Dragons or Wyverns, who were known to be incredibly difficult to raise due to their stubborn and fierce instincts.
So since Cynrik wasn’t sure of how the two ravens would act or their natural disposition, he decided it would be better to take that final precaution, just in case.
Once he was done filling the first Incubator, he moved on to the second to top it off with his Mana, and when the indicator went off, signaling it was ready, Cynrik sighed loudly and withdrew both of the Omnipoison gems.
‘I sure hope I am not making a mistake,’ he thought as he popped open a little hatch at the top of the Incubator and placed the first of the two 2-Carat Secret Grade Omnipoison Pristine Affinity Gems into the holding container. From there, the machine would draw all the power of the gem before distributing it into the hatching chamber.
Cynrik watched the device close up, locking away the first gem, and moved on to the other Incubator and replicated the process before standing back and preparing himself.
Hatching his ravens had been a long ti coming, and now that he was on the precipice of the mont of birth, Cynrik couldn’t help but be nervous for the first ti.
All his preparations until now couldn’t be reversed; millions of essence points, thousands of OKP, and even so near-death experiences had brought him to this mont. The mixture of anxiety and excitent was slightly overwhelming as he stood rooted in place, trying to force himself to take the eggs out of his inventory.
He froze at this point, debating internally whether placing them in incubators was the right choice.
Sensing sothing off about the room, Selene woke up only to find her boyfriend standing in front of the incubators with a fearful expression plastered across his face.
Seeing this side of him worried Selene to no end; as soone who spent most of her ti with the boy and was wholly infatuated with him, how could she not realize how he was in the midst of a full-blown anxiety attack?
One quick look at the present situation, and she had all the information she needed; who better than her knew how much he had sacrificed to hatch the two chicks? Even Brance wasn’t privy to the hundreds of toiling hours Cynrik had spent trying to figure out nas, working through hundreds of thousands of potential outcos. Hell, he had gone through an uncountable number of possible Affinity combinations, and Selene had been right by his side for most of it.
Drawing back the blanket quietly, Selene carefully slinked up behind Cynrik, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
The sudden sensation of soone wrapping up his body startled Cynrik, but once he realized it was only Selene, he relaxed against her, placing his hands on her arms and resting his head against hers.
The two stood silently, enjoying each other’s warmth and company until Selene broke the quiet.
“It will be fine, darling; you have prepared for every possible outco. I know how nervous you are since things are out of your control, but there is no point in dwelling on possibilities anymore.”
“Now is the ti to leap, leaving it all in fate’s hands.” Nuzzling her cheek against Cynrik’s, Selene tried to calm him down; from how their bodies were pressed together, she could feel how rapidly his heart was beating.
“I know, I don’t know what is up with ; I am never like this,” Cynrik whispered. He wasn’t the kind of person who stood idle and always rushed forward, even in the most hazardous situations, no matter the outco.
Yet here he was, stuck between panic and an anxiety attack, all because of two unhatched birds.
“Well yeah, any dad would be nervous right before his kids would be born, silly boy,” releasing a small giggle, Selene gave him a peck on the cheek and tried to see what kind of expression he was making.
But when she peeked at his face, Selene was t with a cocky smile instead of confusion, with his following words making her blush brightly.
“Hm, if I’m the Dad, wouldn’t that make you the Mom.” Cynrik caught Selene as she backed away by the hips and drew her body in until their chests were practically connected.
With a smirk never leaving his face, Cynrik sealed Selene’s lips with his own, and the two shared a few seconds locked in a passionate kiss before he broke it off and steeled his resolve.
“Thanks, babe, I’ve got this,” reaching around her body and giving Selene’s ass a few love taps to feel the soft jiggle of plump flesh, Cynrik’s eyes narrowed, and he withdrew both eggs from his inventory while cradling them against his chest.
“Sel, stand over on the far side of the room and don’t make a sound; they will imprint on the first creature they see, so it needs to be , or else there will be so BIG problems.”
Walking up to the first device, Cynrik calmly placed the matte black egg covered in mystical red patterns against the hatching tube and watched as the material it was made of liquified and accepted the egg, allowing it to float to the center of the nesting area.
“Ding, An Avian Species : (Nátt Hrafn) egg has been placed into the incubation chamber, calculating hatching ti, please standby.” A prerecorded voice ca from the speakers of the Incubator, but Cynrik ignored it as he moved to the second device and placed his last egg into the chamber.
“Ding, An Avian Species : (Nátt Hrafn) egg has been placed into the incubation chamber, calculating hatching ti, please standby.”
Cynrik nodded and smiled reassuringly at Selene, whose hands were clasped in front of her chest as she appeared nervous as he had earlier, then paid attention to the tablet displays on both incubators.
“Creature analysis complete, Unknown Affinity Gem has been Detected; if you wish to disperse the Mana particles stored within the gems, please input the description from your System panel so that an adequate hatching plan can be formulated.”
Hearing this response from both machines, Cynrik quickly keyed in the correct data about the Secret Grade Omnipoison as Tobs narrated what to type. Once finished, he hit the enter key on the touchscreen keyboard and moved on to the second Incubator.
“Information accepted; however, to use this Affinity gem, more Dark Mana will be required to have a proper balance between the Mana particles stored within the hatching chamber; please input a minimum of 6000 MP of only Dark Mana to continue.”
Clicking his tongue in response, Cynrik placed one hand on each of the devices and pumped 12k MP of Dark Mana directly from his Codex into the two devices until the Incubators triggered another ssage.
“Sufficient Dark Mana has been acquired, calculating hatching ti for the fledgling Nátt Hrafn…Calculations are complete, and the required ti to hatch the egg in the hatching chamber is 45 minutes; if you want to start the process, please press the Yes button.”
Without hesitation, Cynrik flickered from sight as he moved from one Incubator to the next, pressing the Yes button, which caused both machines to whirl up with a soft hum as Mana particles were condensed from the reservoir into the hatching chamber.
Activating [Mana Sight], he watched as a small nozzle appeared above the eggs and acted like a sprinkler, drizzling a perfect mixture of Dark and Omnipoison down into the chamber.
The mist form of Mana was directly absorbed by the two matte black eggs, causing the red swirling patterns to glow softly.
“Now we wait, go check on the others and fill them in on what is going on; when I left the living room, Benny had just entered another enlightennt period since he got a book for the Temperature Affinity. Also, be sure you get your Sub-Class squared away; as I said before, I don’t care what class you level up so long as you are happy with it.”
“Ok, but what will you do during the hatching ti?” Unclasping her hands, Selene walked over to Cynrik, who had positioned himself on the bed so that he could have a good view of both Incubators.
“? I’ll sit here and watch my eggs, sothing I’m obsessively good at.” Turning his head to face Selene as she sat beside him for a second, Cynrik said while placing his hand on her thigh, getting a good handful of the plump flesh so he could knead it between his fingers, sothing he enjoyed almost as much as her.
“Mmmh,” as his fingers went to work, exerting the full extent of his 900 DEX, a soft moan left Selene’s lips as her legs subconsciously rubbed together so that she could guide his hand to lower, more intimate parts of her body.
Unfortunately, Cynrik caught on to her ploy and patted her leg a couple of tis after stopping and retrieving his magical fingers, then crossed his arms over his chest.
“anie, how co you get to tease like that, but whenever I try sothing, you instantly shut it down?” Selene complained while shooting him a wronged glance.
“Well, my dear Selene, that is because I have sothing you don’t.” Replying with mysterious words and an equally matching smile, Cynrik looked away and observed his eggs again.
“Oh? And what would that be, Darrrling~.” Standing up and rolling her eyes while pouting, Selene couldn’t stop herself from asking. Still, even if she already knew the answer, she couldn’t help but pull her pants down a bit, exposing her exquisite hip bones and tugging at her sports braw, flashing the deep crevasse of her cleavage to him.
“Restraint; unlike you, who seems always to be horny, I can restrain myself, or else I would have already pounced on you right here and now and taken you.” Clicking his tongue and admiring the perfect body of his girlfriend shalessly, Cynrik forcefully tore his eyes away from the perfectly toned hourglass shape and t hers.
“Now go, you have things to do. I’ve finished all my tasks and am now playing the waiting ga. Or are you expecting to rough you up before you go?”
“Tsk, bully!” Stomping her foot, Selene spun on her heels and left the bedroom after adjusting her clothes enough to be presentable.
