The Eternal Family

The sound of a horse's hooves crashing into puddles echoed in the silent yet noisy forest as the black-maned handsome horse traveled through, nothing could hinder its path. It was a horse trained in this very jungle after all.

It was agile, servile, and capable.

Moreover, it was at its home ground.

Atop it, wearing some cheap but comfortable white peasant clothes, The clone of the Null prince sat with a focused face, thinking of different things as the horse hooved ahead.

His lust had long since calmed down even though he was in an intense situation on the Main body side, even though he didn't have other Gifts from the main body, he had Lustful Absorption.

And even though on its own, it was a weak and almost useless skill in combat, in regards to sexual urges, it was different.

One of the obvious abilities of stage 2 was self-control after all.

Against Lust of one's own, this ability was a shield, sword, and bomb at the same time — the more he used this Gift, the more he was coming to realize this fact.

This ability, it was intrinsically linked with the emotion of lust and desires.

At Stage 0, Lustful Absorption's only capability was Absorbing gifts from other people, even though there was a limitation of only from Family members with deep connections, that alone was a supremely powerful talent.

To the point, it was already something different from the rest, in a very monstrous way.

But having reached Stage 1, the difference only became more evident, more obvious.

When other gifts like Elemental manipulation will just start to have meager improvements, his was already showing ungodly potential.

It had started to branch away from mere Lust at that point.

His mind calm, and confident in his defense to hold himself alive in the case of some animal's surprise attack, he delved in-depth into the subject.

Thinking of it, he had never really thought about his own gifts other than the system messages, and wasn't that like…stupid?

Shaking his head at the thought, he then wondered about his evolution to Stage 1 from 0. That really changed his Gift a lot, mainly speaking, it was Emotion Sight that really bothered him a bit.

Emotion sight was different from what he believed the concept of Lustful Absorption to be, in his opinion, his gift should have been a simple ability that focused on Lust and Lust alone to reach its peak.

it shouldn't have anything to do with any emotion other than lust, whereas, using Emotion Sight, he could see all the emotions of an opposite gender like greed, anger, love, or any other.

That wasn't just Lust at this point.

He closed his eyes, the forest, the sound of hooves, the discomfort of riding a horse, the feeling of sleeplessness due to doing all-nighters — they all blended into the backdrop of his mind as the details of his stage 1 repeatedly flashed through his mind.

That is what he wanted this clone to be.

Not a clone that will go around fucking the woman all over the world, but a clone who will research the power hidden within him, Lustful Absorption, to its core.

This was a test, an experiment of sorts.

Harry didn't know anything about his Gift's further stages, what new face will it reveal when he fucked 100 women?

Once he reached Stage 2.

What was he already missing out on in this ungodly ability, the sorts of which, every world only ever hear of once every generation.

He wanted to find out everything about that, what was the peak performance of a Harry who only had Lustful Absorption and nothing else.

How far could he reach with that?

It was his first experiment regarding Supernatural.

Experiment Ace.

An experiment that the gentle side of him, the Harry side, could never accomplish.

So for that, he needed the ruthless part of him, The great entrepreneur Ace to take care of it.

The clone, Ace smiled faintly and thought of all the capabilities he now had at his disposal, they were not much.

For one, he had a body as strong as two maximum potential mortals fused together — With all attributes in 2-point values or a bit above it.

Then he had Lustful Absorption at Stage 1.

Its capabilities as of now are the ability to absorb gifts through familial penetration, which he would not use on the clone.

Emotion sight; the ability to see a women's emotions like reading a book.

Enhanced Touches, making hands extremely talented in all things from punches to pleasuring.

And,

Lust absorption, which is an ability that can absorb Lust from others and transform its energy into an Aphrodisiac-like aura around himself.

This was about it.

All that he had.

'But I also have dual Ability usage too,' he thought, 'So not absorbing any ability at all is indeed a waste.'

But he had already decided.

The main body will be the one who hoards abilities from everywhere and Ace will only do his research on Lustful Absorption.

One a Jack of all trades and the other a master at one thing.

Reaching here though, it's not like they are two different people, they were connected souls, one person, in two bodies.

With two different aims that will all end up being the fuel for one purpose.

To fuel his dreams, ambitions, and goals… and to protect his family.

Ace smiled in relief and led the horse forward, now he was ready for his journey, after all, he had a destination now.

He wondered how far he could go.

But he was also thankful that he didn't know, in the end, that was what made it actually interesting.

And then, all of a sudden, his heart skipped a beat, his mind turned blank, his eyes grew dazed, and he thought of many, many things at once.

Deep inside himself, he could sense a feeling as if something was calling for him, tugging at him.

And a moment later, his dull eyes cleared.

They grew so intensely clear, his pupils looked like a black gem washed in a pond of heaven's clearest water.

His mind was similarly clear and filled with confusion.
