Strongest Superhuman System

Mark just sighed to the side and scratched the back of his head. Mark didn't know why Luna was so worked up, so he just figured it was one of those 'women' things that Arit says he can never understand. Mark didn't have the time or patience to deal with all this right now, so he just decided to go along with Luna's demands.

"Alright, come here."

Mark finally spoke up and Luna narrowed her eyes at him for a moment before she went towards him slowly and uncrossed her arms. Mark placed his palm on her chest gently and Luna prayed to all the gods that Mark couldn't feel the way that simple gesture made her heart start pounding uncontrollably!

This was the first time that any man had touched Luna like this. Even though she was very beautiful and had many men surrounding her at all times, she was terribly inexperienced in love and intimacy! The closest she had ever come to real physical contact with a man was her father years ago.

Her father who did unspeakable things to her.

Ever since that time, Luna had been repulsed by physical contact from any man.

Luna thought that she would hate Mark's touch immediately. She expected a revolting feeling to fill her chest at any moment once Mark touched her. But it never came. Instead, a warm feeling spread across her entire body and made her heart swell in joy. Luna raised her hand to hold Mark's forearm.

[Armor of Ares] deactivated!

The system sent a prompt to Mark as the Armor vanished from Luna's chest and Mark was about to pull back his hand, but Luna suddenly stopped him from taking it away as she held it in place. Mark looked down at her curiously and saw that she was glancing down at her feet while holding his hand.

"What's wrong, Luna?"

Mark spoke up worriedly as he thought that there was something Luna wanted to say. Luna was about to speak, but another voice suddenly spoke up and beat her to it.

"Haba haba, it's getting hot in here~ Do you two need the room to yourselves? I won't mind leaving for a few minutes if you want~ I mean, I also understand the impulse to shag after a good fight. Morgana loves doing that whenever we fight."

Mark and Luna turned to the side to see Merlin leaning off the back of the couch that Mark had thrown him into. There was a perverted smile on his face as he watched the two of them and Luna immediately grew embarrassed as she pulled back from Mark and spoke up while walking into the inner room.

"I'll find something for you and come back after changing."

Merlin chuckled as he watched Luna running away.

"Ah, she's a shy one, eh? You've caught yourself quite the looker, Mark boy."

"Shut up. I haven't caught anything."

Mark sat down at the dining room table once more and sighed while leaning back in the seat. His body hurt everywhere and he could already feel the effects of pushing himself too far. He was going to need at least five hours of sleep before he could get back on his feet.

"You want me to sign a contract with her, don't you?"

Mark opened one eye and glanced at Merlin as Merlin spoke. Did this idiot say 'want'?

"I don't think you understand. I don't want you to sign the contract. You're going to sign it whether you like it or not. I'll beat your ass a second time if you don't."

Merlin chuckled.

"You know, you'll get along well with Morgana. You're feisty like her. But what's stopping me from just killing myself and disappearing right now? I don't really have to worry about dying like the rest of you. I'm something more than a mere mortal."

"Then do it. Do it and go back to the fucking cycle of rebirth where nothing happens. You joined this game because you wanted to fight, didn't you? They didn't force you in. You came in because you liked the concept of it. Do you really want that to end after just one battle where I kicked your ass?"

The two men were left staring each other down with intensity after Mark's statement. Mark knew that he was making a gamble here. Merlin was right. He could just kill himself and go back into the cycle of rebirth to be reborn with Morgana. But Mark was betting on the fact that Merlin liked this! Merlin joined this game of his own free will, so Mark knew that Merlin wouldn't want to leave just like that.

He would want to fight at least one more person.

Finally, after what felt like hours, Merlin blew a raspberry and spoke in a childish, whiny tone.

"Alright, alright, you win~ I'll sign the damn contract."

Mark sighed tiredly as he finally relaxed in his seat and threw his head back while closing his eyes. That was one down, four more to go. I have to finish this shit soon. It's bad enough that Merlin was summoned, who knows what sort of beasts were summoned in the other categories.

Mark was not expecting someone like Merlin to be in this game and he just knew that the other pieces would also be seriously dangerous people. If not for the fact that Merlin was such a careless fighter, Mark would have definitely lost that fight. Merlin was good at magic, but his fighting instincts weren't the best.

If Merlin had trapped Mark in a secluded area and used a large enough attack before Mark got to his territory, then there was no doubt that Mark would have lost that fight. Join us at m,v le mpyr

Merlin sighed as he realized that Morgana already knew this would happen. No wonder she didn't seem to be angry about me losing, she was only angry that she was made the servant. But Merlin wanted to enjoy a bit more before going back, so he wasn't in a hurry to return to the cycle just yet.

And besides, Merlin knew that Morgana would be waiting for him over there, so he was planning on wasting as much time as possible to prolong the inevitable. She would probably try to kill him again in their next reincarnation.

"Mark, what's your size!?"

Luna's voice reached Mark from the other room and Merlin immediately chuckled at her strange wording, Mark eyed Merlin weirdly and Merlin just waved Mark's confusion away and told him to answer his woman. Mark shook his head and told Luna his size.

Luna came out from the inner room with a shirt in her hand.

"This one should do it. I don't know if you'd like the designs though."

The shirt that Luna brought with her was a large Hawaiian shirt with many floral designs all over the fabric. Mark took one look at it and he felt disgust rise from somewhere deep inside his belly. Mark would normally never be caught dead wearing something like this. Luna noticed his reaction and sighed.

"That's the best I could find in a dark color. All the others are too bright and I know you'll hate them."
