City of Witches

༺ Witch of Fortune (2) ༻

1.

Lately, there were a series of significant events that stirred up the witch community.

The demise of Ea Sadalmelik the notorious criminal, the incident at COEX that was possibly linked to the Cowardly Witch, and the unprecedented appearance of a male witch.

In truth, Periwinkle didn’t care if the Witch of Aquarius died or if the Cowardly Witch caused trouble.

She had the ability to escape from even the most powerful criminal exiles and she had never been in a situation where she had to go on a Homunculus hunt because of financial difficulties.

Like many witches, she just focused on studying and practicing her own magic.

However, among the rumors, there was something that caught her attention.

Apparently, the male witch was backed up by the Duchess Tiphereth, Countess Gemini and Branch Manager Agatha.

Since he’d be possessing a spirit body, she had guessed that he’d be an attractive man without any flaws and he’d also make an interesting subject.

He also wouldn’t age and die like a lightbulb.

And she deemed herself to be more than qualified to sleep with him.

So, when they met back at the Contact Point, she immediately hit on him.

She didn’t overthink it.

When she saw him in person, she was pleasantly surprised by how good-looking he actually was.

She thought that if they hit it off, they could spend the night together, but if not, then that was it.

Of course she’d rather have the former than the latter, but from the lack of contact after she gave him her business card, she figured that he had rejected her offer.

Since he was turned on just by her sitting next to him, she thought that he might be interested in her, but apparently it wasn’t the case.

Though she was disappointed, she reluctantly accepted the situation.

Considering life’s unpredictable twists and turns, she figured that if it was meant to be, they’d eventually cross paths again.

So, she went about her life, putting him out of her mind.

Then, one day, when she was out driving to clear her head, she stumbled upon two familiar faces.

Sharon Evergreen, the witch who was well-known to be ridden with debt, and Shin Siwoo, the man who had turned down her advances not too long ago. They stood side by side, catching her attention.

Staring at the compass in one of their hands, they seemed to be hunting for Homunculi together.

‘Right, they were all close and cozy at the market too.’

The way Evergreen jumped up and down like a child who had lost her candy when she offered a one-night stand came to her mind.

‘So, are they a couple?’

‘Or is Evergreen just his slave?’

Regardless, her curiosity was piqued, prompting her decision to tail them.

Looking at how faint their presence was, she suspected that they were using some kind of high-end concealment magic tools.

The kind where it could make one’s presence vanish in the blink of an eye.

But she wouldn’t be eluded by such a thing.

Even if she momentarily lost her focus, she could find them again eventually as she strolled along.

Such was the power of the ‘Witch of Fortune’.

Lucky encounters happened around her all the time, to the point that reality itself could be twisted due to the sheer luck she had.

“Still nothing today?”

“It’s been quiet lately. We’ve been wandering around for two hours already.”

‘See?’

Despite her tailing them openly, they remained unaware of Periwinkle’s presence.

At least, as long as she had her mana and clover, everything would go out her way.

That was how it was for her in all her days of living.

Though initially she had been enthusiastic about following them, that didn’t last long.

“So boring…”

She thought something spicy might happen since they had been strolling through the dark streets and sneaking into creepy-looking buildings.

“Is there something down there?”

“Or here maybe?”

“Is it finally happening this time?!”

“Nope, what about now?”

The same old routine, making her bored.

He didn’t appear to do it on purpose though.

If anything, he looked sincere.

Then again, most guys would be drawn to witches just by being around them.

Just as she began to feel tired of following them around and contemplated heading back for a drink…

An unexpected opportunity popped up.

“Well, doesn’t seem like much is happening today. Want to call it quits here and take a break?”

‘Nice, following them for over an hour paid off!’

Excitedly, she followed them to a nearby hotel and booked a room there.

Usually, hotels would assign rooms randomly to their customers, but she wasn’t concerned about that.

Because she’d naturally be placed in the nearest room to theirs, following her own luck.

And just like that, she got assigned to a room right below theirs. While they were busy doing this and that, she changed her outfit into a more comfortable one and lounged around on the sofa while gazing at the ceiling.

Luckily for her, their magic tool’s concealment also covered her room, so all she needed to cast was a simple scrying magic.

She made sure not to get caught.

And since she willed it to be so, that was what happened.

Now, all she needed to do was to decide if she should jump in at the right moment…

Or just sit back and see how things played out.

“Oh, there they go.”

And so, she decided to witness a sex between a man with a spirit body and a witch for the first time in her life.

The captivating spectacle one couldn’t even pay to see had begun.

Things began to heat up.

Their tongues tangled, their hands gripped each other’s waists tightly.

Like dancing a waltz, they moved their bodies together, shedding off their clothes while pressing their bodies against each other.

Like a couple who had just hooked up (at least to her), their actions were passionate and hot, just like logs in a lit fireplace.

“Huh?”

The next thing that happened made her let out a surprised voice.

Evergreen suddenly dropped to her knees before the man after breaking away from their kisses.

“Oh my?”

Seeing a witch kneel so easily before a guy was really quite the surprising spectacle.

Not only that, she went all out to pleasure his manhood with both her mouth and breasts.

Unlike what Periwinkle had thought, she wasn’t in a dominating position.

It was her first time seeing such a spectacle.

After the intense service that Periwinkle couldn’t even have imagined, they started having sex.

Throughout it all, Evergreen was out of control, she just went along with it.

The man spanked her, squeezed her breasts hard, and she even made a sound that was a mix between screams and moans as she writhed under his pulsating rod.

At times, she would listen or say some obscene things.

If someone were to see this, it wouldn’t be strange to think that she was being raped by the man.

“Isn’t that a little too far?”

So she said, but after watching them closely, she noticed that the man showed his gentleness and consideration at times, driving Evergreen to lose in her pleasure.

It was definitely different from what she knew.

“Then again, everyone has different tastes.”

‘Still for a witch to be like that…’ She started to ponder, but she wasn’t the type to care much about people’s sex lives to begin with, so she dismissed her thoughts quickly.

“Hmm…”

The more she watched them, she found herself getting more and more turned on.

Initially, she just wanted to watch them and maybe get a little taste while she was at it, but she ended up getting into it rather easily.

It felt like she was peeking into some unknown territory.

She wasn’t quite sure how to wrap her head around it.

“Hmm…he looks good enough…his size is big enough and he’s fit…he got it all…”

At first, it was just a harmless curiosity and she had no intention to fantasize or pleasuring herself.

But when she saw Evergreen had her legs up while getting pounded…

Her lust surged up.

“Mm…ngh…”

She rolled back her robe slightly and was about to slip her hand into her black-laced panties when she suddenly froze.

The man was about to climax.

At that moment, a massive wave of mana surged through the concealed area, making her body tingle.

For such a huge amount of mana to be released with his ejaculation, enough to finish her brand to the brim even when it was completely empty, she was utterly shocked.

“??”

Staring at the ceiling wide-eyed, she remained frozen with her hand inside her panties.

He knew that men did release some mana during ejaculation, but what she had just witnessed was something else.

‘How could he generate the equivalent of several bottles of premium refined mana in an instant?’

‘And he just pushed all that mana straight into her brand through her womb?’

The scene overturned her common sense by several degrees.

Regardless of her surprise, they went straight into round two.

Watching them again, Periwinkle blinked in amazement.

She was caught between getting turned on by the wild sex scene and her urge to do research on the phenomena that had just happened. In the end, she decided to give up her voyeuristic fun, waiting for them to finish while keeping an eye on the faint mana waves.

Because she thought that there was value in trying to understand how the mana was generated and what kind of mana it was.

Luckily for her, she managed to get more valuable data than she expected as they repeated their actions several times.

Moreover, she picked up some shocking facts from their conversations.

Even more shocking than the man’s amazing stamina during sex.

Apparently, when he ejaculated, he’d amplify some very pure quality of mana in large quantities.

Additionally, what they were trying to do was to treat Evergreen for her ‘Incomplete Succession’ using this peculiarity of his.

It was a well-established fact that treating an ‘Incomplete Succession’ was impossible.

But, his recurrent mana amplification was just as mind-boggling as that.

To find something groundbreaking in any field of research was rare.

Because it could be a treasure trove of knowledge, waiting to be explored and studied.

Suddenly, she felt an even stronger craving for the man.

‘No wonder Evergreen seems to be desperate to keep him around.’

But, now that Periwinkle had found out, there was no way that she’d let Evergreen monopolize this rare knowledge.

“Hmm…”

‘Maybe this is the perfect time for me to join in.’

Since some big shots had placed him under their protection, she couldn’t use threats against him.

But, she wasn’t one to resort to such tactics anyway.

Instead, she’d rather suggest a threesome while promising to keep everything she saw today under wraps.

Roughly speaking, this could be seen as a form of blackmail, but even if they refused her, it wasn’t like she’d actually spread it around.

At that moment, an interdimensional barrier was deployed out of nowhere.

“Huh?”

The barrier enveloped the entire hotel.

In cases like this, it usually meant that a Homunculus had come to attack.

So, Periwinkle rose to her feet to confront the unexpected visitor.

The one that came crashing through the door was something with the body of a human and the head of a bull.

It looked like something straight out of Greek mythology, the Minotaur.

With massive muscles that appeared to be able to thwart sharp blades and horns, while holding axes in each hand, her first impression of the creature was that it lacked originality.

“Cow head soup would be nice right now.”

That pretty much summed it up.

It didn’t take long for her to twist the bull’s head off.

The mindless Homunculus came at her with brute force. Its physical attacks were strong and its crimson skin made it seem like it could shrug off even the strongest spells, but Periwinkle was quick on her feet. She easily dodged its blows while returning them with her own using her personal weapon, eventually bringing it down to the ground.

Despite it being able to regenerate rapidly, she eventually managed to wrest the axes from its grasp and delivered a fatal blow to its neck.

The creature spurted out quite a bit of blood, but she remained unfazed, and didn’t even seem out of breath.

“What’s with all this commotion?”

She glanced upwards.

And saw that the pair was struggling.

Facing off against them was the Drowned Witch, the Homunculus notorious for how cunning it was.

Seeing how the situation turned out, she became sure that the one who made all this fuss was the Cowardly Witch and she seemed to be up to something.

“Guess today isn’t like any other day, huh?”

She waved her hand, using magic to clean up the blood that stained her dress.

While she was doing that, Evergreen had already been wounded.

“Ah, I should’ve acted a little faster.”

In truth, she wasn’t fond of this kind of trouble.

She wasn’t scared of anything, she just hated it because it was annoying.

If Evergreen was the only one there, she would have just left the hotel.

This was just a minor inconvenience to her, like a spark that somehow crept on her clothes, she could deal with it effortlessly.

She could end up burning from the spark if she wasn’t careful, but that was that.

But, when it came to something that caught her interest, things were a little bit different.

Having already snuck a peek at them having sex and with the situation at hand, she felt that she could get what she wanted if she were to play her moves well, so she decided to strike.

With a leisurely stride, she made her way upstairs.

And the rest was history.
