Chapter 128: Between Desire and Doubt (1)
I would like first to apologize that lately, I didn't release chapters regularly, as I was in a difficult situation.
Hopefully, it became better, so I will work to return back to one chapter daily.
Thank you for reading till now, and for your support!

Looking at his status window, Christian immediately noticed the changes. As there was the addition of the Essence attribute, and more importantly, the Rank field.
Now, after learning about the mastery stages and their significance, he realized that this Rank was undoubtedly tied to them.
Then, seeing how it was still empty, he understood that merely sensing essence wasn't enough, and he was still not even at the starting line. He deduced that he would likely need to increase his Essence attribute, even if just a little, for that field to change.
Still, using the unassigned points was out of the question. As now, after gaining the essence technique, Christian understood that Comprehension was even more important than he had initially thought. Because of this, he planned to assign the points to it. but not before resolving his current predicament.
More than that, now with one more Idle slot available, Christian was considering what to assign it to. Yet it didn't take much time until he decided to place ,Human Biology, in the new slot.

Had it not been for the revelation of ranks and the limitations of his current technique, allowing him to train only up to the first mastery stage, he would have naturally placed Breath of the Shadow Blade there. However, he felt that it had become somewhat useless now, as he knew he would change it later.
Ding, dong!
While contemplating the essence technique, the Idle System's upgrade, and even his future plans, Christian suddenly heard the doorbell ring. It immediately occurred to him that it should be Eva, with there being no one aside from coming in this time, so, he immediately left his room and opened the main door.
Looking at Eva silently standing outside, her usual smile seemingly not the same, Christian still exchanged a brief greeting with her, and they shared a light hug before he invited her inside.
He led her toward his room, unconcerned with the mess Annabelle had mentioned, as now that he knew Eva was aware of his current situation, there was no need to go out of his way to hide anything from her.
It was a silent walk, brief yet filled with unspoken thoughts. Christian's mind was preoccupied with many things, while Eva remained just as quiet, her own thoughts hidden.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Christian turned his head, his gaze locking with Eva's. They stayed like that for a few seconds, the tension between them palpable. Then, without a word, he leaned in, one hand gently resting on her neck, the other caressing her cheek. Keeping his eyes fixed on hers, he leaned in further, closing the distance, and kissed her.
This time, unlike before when he felt there was no need to escalate things too hurriedly, Christian's urgency was clear. He pushed Eva against the wall and immediately began devouring her lips, sucking on her lower lip before moving to the upper one.
After alternating between her lips for what seemed like some time, with Eva wrapping her arms around his neck and responding just as aggressively, if not more, seemingly battling him out, she finally opened her mouth, her small pink tongue slipping inside.
Christian, feeling the initiative taken from him, responded just as passionately, his tongue battling hers as if trying to draw the very soul from her.
They continued like that for several minutes, their battlefield shifting from one mouth to the other, even if awkwardly at times due to their inexperience.
Finally pulling away slightly, with a string of saliva still connecting them, and Eva still hugging his neck, Christian now had one hand against the wall and the other wrapped around her waist. He opened his eyes, locking with Eva's blue ones. He felt as though they were radiating tenderness and love more than ever, with passion just as strong.
He didn't know what she was thinking or the reason, but with many thoughts swirling in his head, he didn't say anything, and as soon as he regulated his rough breathing, he leaned in once again and started another round of kissing, savoring the sweetness of her taste.
With seemingly even more boldness, Christian lowered his hand from her waist to her hips, finally getting a firm grip on her bottom.
Though still mindful not to go too far with his advances, Christian checked on Eva, and seeing that she didn't seem to care, still reciprocating eagerly, if not more, he felt encouraged. His hand finally began to squeeze.
It wasn't long before Eva suddenly tightened her arms around his neck, lifting herself slightly. She then wrapped her legs around him, prompting him to move his other hand and support her.
They didn't pull away, absorbed in each other, and as time seemed to stretch, with Christian holding Eva, kneading her soft, bouncy, and firm ass to his content, the wall provided support. Eventually, he decided to make a change, and moved from their position to the bed, laying Eva down with him on top of her, continuing their kiss.
While savoring the softness of her breasts pressing against him, Christian didn't comment on her still-crossed legs around him, seemingly trying to hold him in place, urging him to continue. Her warmth against his body also fueled the fire inside him further.
So, he finally moved his hand to gently hold her breast, which was clearly larger than even his sister's big ones, and although the bra made it harder to fully experience the sensation, it still felt amazing.
He also opened his eyes, enjoying her reaction, especially as he felt her hot breath inside his mouth, which seemed to intensify with his touch.
Seeing her flushed face so close and her eyes closed, Christian couldn't help but slow down the kiss. Noticing the change, Eva opened her eyes, her eyelids fluttering.
Looking into her eyes, seeing her sensual expression, and feeling himself getting lost in them, Christian couldn't help but have some other thoughts suddenly.
