**Rover's POV**
I smile at Chixia's words, looking down at her with satisfaction as I say, "Good job, Chixia. I will reward you later. But for
now, I want leave this place. Fill me in on everything, about this world. Where am I? And what is this place?"
**Normal POV**
Chixia's red eyes flicker with a mix of lingering heat and reluctant obedience as you speak. She gives your now-spotless cock one last slow, reverent lick along the underside to the head—almost unwilling to let go—before pulling back with a soft, wet pop. Thin strings of saliva connects her swollen lips to the tip for a heartbeat before snapping.
"Good… job?" she echoes breathlessly, a crooked, almost shy smirk tugging at her mouth despite the flush still burning across her cheeks. "Yeah… yeah, I'll hold you to that reward, Rover."
Yangyang, still sprawled naked on the grass, cum streaking her pale skin and face, and matting her long black hair with white tips, starts to shift. Her black eyes—half-lidded and glassy—find yours. No shame flickers there, only a soft, dreamy smile that deepens as she sits up and curls one arm across her cum-painted breasts and presses her thighs together, feeling the slow, thick leak of your seed still oozing from her well-fucked cunt. The golden blue tattoo on her belly pulses once, warmly, like a heartbeat answering yours. She doesn't regret a single second.
Chixia exhales sharply through her nose, forcing herself into motion. She tugs her red shorts and panties back up—wincing slightly at how soaked the fabric is—then straightens her partial white jacket and tattered layers. Her big ass shifts as she bends to gather your discarded clothes first: black jacket, white shirt, pants. She dresses you with surprising care—almost tenderness—sliding the shirt down your shoulders, pulling it slowly while her fingers brush your chest. She smooths the jacket over your broad frame last, lingering just a moment too long at the collar, eyes darting over your neck, collarbone, the golden pendant hanging over your chest.
"Alright, Rover," she says, voice steadier now, though still husky. "You really don't remember anything? Not even… fragments?"
She steps back once you're fully clothed, hands on her hips—athletic build on display, Tacet Mark faintly glowing along her lower left abdomen.
"Okay. Crash course, then. Listen up."
She gestures broadly at the rolling fields around you, wildflowers swaying in a gentle breeze that still carries the faint metallic tang of remnant energy and Tacet Discord residue—and now, unmistakably, the thick musk of sex.
"You're in Solaris-3. Or… what's left of it. This whole planet got wrecked a long, long time ago by something called the Lament. It was a cataclysmic event. Wiped out civilizations, cracked the world open, let weird creatures called Tacet Discords spill out—monsters born from distorted frequencies. The lament is still ongoing even today. Resonators like us fight it and tacet discords. We pull power from the same messed-up resonances and frequencies that birthed the TDs. I, Yangyang, and our other friend, Baizhi, are from the city of Jinzhou, which is one of the six city states of Huanglong."
She taps her own chest, a cheerful grin on her face. "Once again, I'm Chixia, Jinzhou Patrollers and Ally of Justice, at your service! I am a fusion resonator, who uses dual pistols and flames to smite evil from this world! Fast, loud, hard hitting!" She says the last part bringing out her dual pistols from her holsters, flashing them a bit before putting them back.
She nods toward Yangyang, who had finally gotten up. Still gloriously naked, warm and dripping cum in reflective streaks across her face and neck, collarbone, breasts and belly, crotch and thighs. She's hugging her knees modestly now, but that small, private smile never leaves her lips as she watches you both.
"Yangyang here is my best friend! She's an outrider of Jinzhou's Midnight Rangers. An aero resonator and sword user. She's… gentle and kind. Kind of like the older sister or mom type in our team—until today, apparently." Chixia smirks, shooting Yangyang a teasing glance. Yangyang blushes darker but doesn't deny it; she just ducks her head, fingers tracing the golden blue tattoo below her navel, almost reverently.
"We're on the outskirts of Jinzhou right now," Chixia continues. "This place is called the Gorges of Spirits. Jinzhou is one of the biggest cities and human settlements in the world, protected by the Sentinel Jue and a bunch of barriers."
Her tone shifts slightly as she speaks:
"You… fell. From the sky, from the the etheric sea, which is like an inverted ocean beyond the sky. Yangyang and I were the closest responders. Baizhi—a doctor and researcher—was with us at first but left to report back to analyse the surroundinv area and report to Huaxu Academy. All of this led to you waking up with Yangyang's lap as a pillow."
She pauses, red eyes searching your face. "You're... a Rover. That's what we call people like you—wanderers who show up with no past, usually forgetting everything due to a harrowing incident with a lament or tacet discords."
"It sucks that you can't remember your past, there must've been a lot of unforgettable memories. But no worries, we can create new ones. You and I, together!" She says the last part flashing a toothy grin, looking like she was ready to jump at you. You couldn't help but smile at her promise.
Yangyang looks at you with a smile, then speaks up, voice soft but clear, still a little shaky from everything.
"Yes, Rover…" She continues. "You can create new memories, with me, with us." She finally reaches for her discarded clothes—slow, unhurried—beginning to dress with small, graceful movements. Every so often she winces faintly, thighs pressing together as another thick trickle of your cum leaks out of her. She doesn't bother hiding her smile.
Chixia clears her throat, trying (and failing) to sound fully professional again.
"So yeah. That's the short version. Jinzhou's that way—" she jerks a thumb over her shoulder toward distant spires barely visible through the trees. "We should head back before any TDs sniff out the resonance you two were throwing off. Or… before Baizhi comes looking and finds us like… this."
She eyes the cum still streaked across Yangyang's skin and hair, then the faint marks on her own face from earlier. A beat. Then she smirks again.
"Unless you wanna keep going. I'm still waiting on that reward."
Yangyang finishes putting on her shorts, the fabric of the skirt and her dark brown legging clinging to her damp thighs. She stands—shaky but determined—and steps closer to your side. One gloved hand brushes your arm, tentative but possessive.
"Wherever you go… I follow, Master."
Both girls look at you—waiting.
"Heh, of course. You are mine, Yangyang. You are my first, as far as I remember anyway, so don't worry and follow me. You too, Chixia. You said this place is called the Gorges of Spirits, right? Let's walk."
You flash that easy, commanding smile—golden eyes glinting in the late-morning light—and Yangyang's breath catches all over again. She finishes adjusting her dress and beret with trembling fingers, the golden blue tattoo below her navel hidden now but still pulsing warmly beneath the fabric of her skirt, like a second heartbeat answering yours. Cum still leaks slowly from between her thighs with every small shift, a private reminder that makes her cheeks flush deeper, but she straightens her posture and steps to your side without hesitation.
"Your first…" she repeats softly, almost reverently, black-grey eyes shining up at you. "I… I'm honored, Rover. Master. I'll follow you anywhere. Always."
Chixia snorts at your words, but it's half-hearted—more affection than mockery at this point. She holsters her dual pistols with a practiced flick, red shorts still visibly damp if you look close enough, and falls into step on your other side.
"Yeah, yeah, don't get all mushy on me now," she mutters, though her red eyes keep darting to you with something like awe mixed with hunger. "Let's walk then. Let's try not to encounter any TDs on the way, but if we do... you can count on the heroic and mighty Chixia to save the day!'
The three of you set off down the winding stone path, wildflowers and grass on the side, the air thick with the scent of earth and distant rain. Yangyang stays close—almost pressed to your arm—while Chixia keeps a loose, alert stride, pistols at the ready.
It doesn't take long for trouble to find you.
A low, resonant growl ripples through the air. Three Havoc Warriors materialize from distorted black-purple mist—lean humanoid figures with scythes grown from their arms, their forms streaking with violet havoc energy. Behind them lumbers a larger Tacet Discord:a Chasm Guardian. A tall, hulking humanoid figure with two jagged arms and legs and four glowing eye fixed on you. It looks like a walking boulder. The ground trembles faintly under its weight.
Chixia draws her pistols in a blur. "Heads up! Three small fries and a big one. Rover, stay behind us for a sec, we'll—"
You don't.
The knowledge surges up unbidden—instinct, not memory. Your body moves before your mind fully catches up.
You step forward, bare-handed at first, then—without thinking—resonance flares around your gloved fists in molten gold. One Havoc Warrior lunges; you sidestep with perfect timing, drive your palm into its core with exactly the right force and angle. The thing shatters like glass under the impact, dissolving into frequency fragments.
The second swings; you duck, pivot, and slam an elbow into the weak joint at its neck—precise, lethal. It crumples.
The third tries to flank; you spin, grab its extended blade-arm mid-swing, twist, and snap it clean off before driving your knee into into its chest and core. It bursts apart like glass breaking.
The large one charges—jagged hooves cracking the earth. Chixia opens fire, fusion rounds streaking red-hot trails, chipping at its armor. Yangyang draws her sword in a fluid arc, wind swirling around the blade as she sends cutting gusts to slow it.
You don't need the help.
You meet it head-on. A single leap carries you onto its back; your hands find the glowing core sticking from it head. You strike—once, hard, channeling raw strength, your palm driving straight throughbots entire head. The beast bellows, or tries to, staggers, then collapses in a heap of crumbling stone and fading violet light.
The clearing falls silent except for the soft crackle of dissipating remnant energy.
Chixia lowers her pistols slowly, mouth slightly open. "Holy… shit."
Yangyang sheathes her sword with shaking hands, staring at you like she's seeing you for the first time all over again. "That was… effortless. You didn't even break a sweat."
You flex your fingers, staring at them in mild surprise yourself. The movements had felt as natural as breathing—angles, force, timing, weak points—all flooding back like reflex, not learned knowledge. Muscle memory. Soul memory. Whatever it is, it's still there, buried deep where amnesia couldn't touch it.
You smile, small and easy. "Guess even if I forgot my name for a while, my body didn't forget how to fight and kill."
Chixia whistles long and high, holstering her guns. "Yeah, no kidding. I've seen veteran Midnight Rangers struggle more against one of those big bastards. You just… dismantled them like they were training dummies."
She steps closer, red eyes flicking over you—appraising, hungry, a little awed—grinninb toothily. "You're amazing! Are you even just a Rover? 'Cause that felt more like watching a god play with ants."
Yangyang slips her hand into yours—tentative at first, then squeezing tight. "It doesn't matter what you were before," she murmurs. "What matters is you're here now. With us."
The path ahead clears, Jinzhou's distant spires growing closer under the shifting sky.
Chixia jerks her head forward. "C'mon. Baizhi's gonna have a million questions when we roll in with you looking like you just walked out of a legend. And… uh…" She glances at the drying streaks still visible on Yangyang's cheeks, forehead and eyelashes, neck and collarbone and dark wet patches of cloth over her chest, belly and skirt, then at her own slightly disheveled state. "Maybe we find a stream to clean up first. Just saying."
Yangyang blushes but doesn't let go of your hand, and looks at Chixia.
"There no springs here, Chixia. We'll hva eto the edge of the Gorges for that. And... that's where Baizhi probably is."
"What?! Great... now Baizhi will see us like this..."
You keep walking—flanked by your claimed girls, the weight of your forgotten power settling comfortably in your bones.
The path through the Gorges of Spirits winds narrow and misty, jagged stone walls rising on either side like silent sentinels. The air hums faintly with residual frequencies—low, almost mournful—as if the land itself remembers the Lament. Yangyang walks close to your right, her gloved hand occasionally brushing yours in quiet intimacy, while Chixia strides on your left, dual pistols holstered but ready, her steps light and bouncy despite the lingering flush on her cheeks from earlier.
"Man, this place always gives me the creeps," Chixia says with a cheerful shiver, rubbing her arms. "All these echoes and weird vibes… but hey, at least the company's way better today, right?" She flashes you a bright, friendly grin—jolly, warm. "You okay, Rover? After that little TD welcoming party back there, I mean. You handled them like it was nothing!"
Yangyang nods softly beside you, her long black hair with white feather streaks swaying with each step. "Your resonance… it felt so natural. Like you've always known how to fight. It's comforting, somehow."
You don't answer right away. The muscle memory still lingers in your limbs—precise, lethal, effortless—like a song your body remembers even if your mind has forgotten the lyrics.
"Don't worry, I am fine."
The trail opens into a wide, sunken clearing. At its center looms a massive statue: an eastern dragon coiled in elegant, flowing lines, scales carved with exquisite detail, long serpentine body rising toward the sky. Golden tacetite veins—star-shaped, cross-like ores embedded in the stone—gleam faintly along its form, catching the diffused light.
Yangyang stops short, eyes widening slightly.
"That's… the statue of Sentinel Jue," she breathes, voice hushed with reverence. "The guardian of Huanglong. The statue watches over Jinzhou and the surrounding lands. The sentinel's gaze is said to pierce through time and frequency itself."
Chixia whistles low, impressed. "Yeah, pretty cool, huh? Never gets old seeing it up close. Kinda feels like it's looking right at—"
She cuts off.
The statue's eyes—hollow sockets of carved jade—suddenly flare with soft golden light. A deep, resonant hum rolls through the ground, vibrating in your bones. The world tilts.
Chixia and Yangyang vanish in an instant—blinked out like they were never there.
You stand alone in darkness. Absolute, velvet black. No sound except the slow, ancient rhythm of breathing that isn't yours.
Then light blooms—soft, pearlescent, revealing the dragon in the flesh.
Not stone. Not statue.
Jue towers before you, immense yet graceful, scales shimmering like liquid moonlight, golden streaks pulsing gently along its sinuous length. Its long whiskers trail like silk in an unseen current, massive golden horns curving majestically backward. Golden eyes—deep, knowing, ancient—fix on you with something close to recognition.
Slowly, deliberately, the Sentinel lowers its massive head.
It bows.
The motion is profound—humble, reverent. A guardian acknowledging something greater.
You step forward without thought. Your right hand—the one bearing your own Tacet Mark, glowing faintly golden—reaches out. Fingers sink into the soft white hair and smooth, warm scales between Jue's horns. You pet gently, tracing the curve of one massive antler-like horn. The dragon rumbles—a low, contented sound that vibrates through your palm, up your arm, into your chest.
For a heartbeat, memories flicker at the edge of your mind: a woman's, or a goddess's, hand on your chest, pushing you forward into the planet below. Calling out to you, a sad and gentle smile on her ethereal face. Falling through the endless etheric sea. Your resonances, your powers, all emerging and leaving your body. The crash. The landing. Everything goes pitch black.
Then the vision shatters like glass.
Reality snaps back.
You're standing in the clearing again. The statue is stone once more—eyes dull, lifeless. Yangyang and Chixia are right where they were, blinking in confusion.
"—at you?" Chixia finishes, frowning. "Rover? You okay? You kinda… spaced out there for a second."
Yangyang's hand finds your arm immediately, concern etching her features. "Your resonance just… spiked. Like it answered something. Did you feel something just now?"
You stare at the marble statue. The golden tacetite stars along its body seem to pulse once—faintly, almost imperceptibly—before going still.
It wasn't a hallucination.
Nor an illusion.
It was a memory. Or a fragment of one.
Your body remembers fighting. Your soul remembers falling. And now… something ancient remembers you.
Chixia tilts her head, studying your face with that bright, friendly curiosity of hers, edged with concern. "Hey… you look like you just saw a ghost. Or, uh… a really big dragon come to life? Spill it, Rover. What happened?"
Yangyang squeezes your arm gently, black eyes searching yours. "Whatever it was… we're here. With you."
The path to Jinzhou stretches ahead, the distant spires clearer now.
You take Yangyang's gloved hand in your left and Chixia's bare one in your right—fingers lacing together with easy confidence. Both girls startle for a heartbeat at the contact, then melt into it. Yangyang's grip tightens immediately, warm and devoted, while Chixia lets out a surprised little laugh that turns soft and pleased.
"Wow, okay—straight to hand-holding? You're really not wasting time, Rover," Chixia says brightly, her voice jumping with that signature jolly energy. She gives your hand a playful squeeze, red eyes sparkling as she falls into step beside you. "I like it. Feels… nice."
Yangyang says nothing at first—just ducks her head slightly, cheeks blooming pink—but her thumb brushes slow, affectionate circles over the back of your hand. The golden mark hidden beneath her skirt seems to hum faintly in response, a quiet echo of your resonance.
You lead them forward along the path, the massive dragon statue receding behind you as the mist thins and the distant outline of Jinzhou's barriers grows sharper on the horizon. The ground underfoot shifts from cracked stone to softer earth dotted with glowing wildflowers that react faintly to your passing—petals flickering gold when every hum of the Tacet Mark on your right hand.
You speak with a serious yet light tone, voice low but carrying easily over the quiet wind.
"I saw a scene where I was faced with Jue itself and it bowed to me. Maybe it was a memory. I'm not fully certain, but that's my main theory. Anyway, let's talk while walking."
Chixia glances sideways at you, brows lifting in surprise. "Whoa, hold up—you mean you actually saw the Sentinel? Like… in the flesh? Not just the statue glowing or whatever?"
Yangyang nods slowly beside you, her voice gentle but thoughtful. "The way the eyes lit up… and then you went still for that moment. Your resonance reached out—like it recognized Jue, or Jue recognized you... I've never felt anything quite like it. Sentinels are tied to the land's frequencies. If it bowed to you in a vision… that's not something that happens to just anyone."
Chixia whistles softly, swinging your joined hands a little as she walks. "Yeah, that's big. Like, capital-B Big. Most people who even get close to a Sentinel vision usually just get a cryptic message or a headache. You got a full-on audience with the dragon itself? And it bowed? Yangyang understated it just now, that's something that has never happened to ANYONE. It's almost insane to think about!" She grins wide, clearly impressed, new found respect blooming in her chest. "Okay, I'm officially calling it—you're not just any traveler. 'Rover' might just mean wanderer to most folks, but you? You're THE Rover. The one everyone's gonna be whispering about soon."
Yangyang's fingers tighten again in yours. Her balc grey eyes look into yours, warm, gentle and reverence. "It doesn't change who you are to us," she murmurs. "But… if it's a memory, then maybe more will come back. Piece by piece. And when they do… we'll be right here."
You hum at their words, a small smile tugging your lips. The way these girls showed so much care and warmth to you. It made your heart flutter a bit, even though you couldn't being yourself to admit. Not yet.
Suddenly remembering something crucial, you speak.
"Also, I think I just remembered my name. Following my vision of Jue, I had a few other, broken visions, seemingly of how I fell into and from the etheric sea. I don't remember it clearly—but I remember a woman calling out to me by a name. Tian Yang... That must be my name."
The name felt like it was yours. Your mind does not remember, but your body, your resonance, naturally responds to it. You can feel it.
Chixia and Yangyang's eyes widen at the sound of your name. Yangyang lets out a tiny, dazed sound.
"Tian Yang…" She repeats it like a prayer, black eyes shining, reverent. "It suits you. Like the vast sky. Like the sun at noon. Bright. Unyielding."
"Tian Yang..." The name rolls off Chixia's tongue like she's tasting it—slow, appreciative. Her eyes widen again for a split second, just like before, pupils dilating as though the syllables carry weight she can't quite place. Majestic. Commanding. It fits you too perfectly: the glowing golden eyes, the chiseled jaw, the effortless dominance that had both of them on their knees without a word of protest.
She continues. "It's a really cool name! Like Yangyang said, it suits you. I have heard any name like that. It feels older. Bigger. Majestic, even."
You smile at their reactions to your name, then continue to walk, their hands in yours.
Chixia gives your hand another cheerful tug. "So, what's the plan when we hit Jinzhou? March right up to City Hall and go 'Hey, I'm Tian Yang, I just made out with one of your Midnight Rangers and patrollers, also I think I'm ancient or something'? Or do we keep it low-key for now, your majesty?" She winks, playful but genuinely curious. "Cause either way, I'm sticking with you. Reward pending and all."
Yangyang smiles softly, leaning her shoulder against your arm as you walk. "Wherever you lead, Tian Yang. I'm yours."
The three of you continue along the winding path through the Gorges of Spirits, the mist gradually thinning as the terrain shifts. The ground slopes upward for a stretch before dipping into shadow—the mouth of a narrow cave yawns ahead, its entrance framed by jagged rock and faint veins of glowing tacetite that pulse like slow heartbeats.
Chixia gives your hand a quick, cheerful squeeze before letting go to draw one of her pistols—just in case. "Short cut through here. Kinda dark and echoey, but it pops us out of the Gorges right on the path to Jinzhou. You'll get the full view of the city—trust me, it's worth it."
Yangyang stays close to your side as you enter, one hand on her sheathed sword but her free hand hovering near yours again. The cave is cool and quiet, the only sounds: your footsteps and the distant drip of water. Faint bioluminescent moss clings to the walls, casting soft teal light that dances across Chixia's unruly red hair with blue strands and Yangyang's long black hair with white feather streaks as well as the drying streaks of your cum across her hair and face.
No Tacet Discords ambush you this time. The passage feels almost respectful—like the land itself is letting you pass unchallenged.
After a few minutes the tunnel opens onto a wide cliff ledge. The view hits like a physical force.
Far and below stretches Jinzhou: a grand, sprawling city and the structure of it's grand city hall cradled against a towering mountain, between man-made resonance barriers that shimmer with pale blue energy. Golden spires rise from clusters of elegant architecture—pagoda roofs, futuristic buildings, streets alive with distant movement. The city was in the middle of a natural river or lake, briges connecting to it from all sides. From the center of the city, looms a long black tower, its silhouette majestic and tall against the horizon.
But something feels… wrong.
A low, discordant hum vibrates through the air—dark, oily, like static crawling under your skin. Your Tacet Mark on your right hand flares briefly, golden light flickering in warning.
Yangyang tenses beside you. "That resonance… it's not natural. It feels heavy. Corrupted."
Chixia's jolly expression hardens for a moment, hand tightening on her pistol grip. "Yeah. Feels like something big and ominous's brewing down there. We should—"
She cuts off.
At the base of the cliff, near a small clearing cradled between rocky structures and tacetites, stands a solitary figure.
Baizhi.
Even from this height she's striking—average height but undeniably curvy. Her black wrap dress hugs a full, E-cup bust, her creamy cleavage exposed by the transparent and flowery panel above; and flaring over rounded hips, the hem of her dress ending at her upper thighs, exposing her fat and pale thighs, and feet to the wind, and clinging tightly against her thick, fat ass. The right-side slit of her dress reveals more of her creamy thigh and the faint glow of her Tacet Mark etched there, while above it and beneath the slit, a panel of white fabric clings to her form, sheer layers beneath teasing glimpses of skin. Knee-length black hair turning green at the ends flows in a low ponytail secured by a circular ornament, with loose strands fanning to the sides. Bangs of hair, some carrying white strands, frame her beautiful and elegant face, and bare shoulders. A single golden ornament with these flowers frames the hair on the right side of her head, the golden earring on her right ear reflection the light from the sun. Seafoam-green eyes scan the surroundings with cool precision beneath red-tinted eyelids. Detached long white sleeves and black gloves give her an air of detached elegance; black boots sink slightly into the soft earth.
She looks up—directly at the three of you—as though she sensed your arrival the moment you stepped onto the ledge.
Yangyang exhales softly. "Baizhi… she must have been investigating the strange frequencies in this area."
Chixia grins, already reaching into a side pouch. "Perfect timing! Hey, Tian Yang—ever glided before?"
She pulls out two compact devices—sleek, metallic gliders that unfold with a soft mechanical whir. Lightweight frames of reinforced alloy and translucent resonance membranes that catch the light like dragonfly wings.
"Standard issue for Midnight Rangers and common patrollers," Chixia explains cheerfully, handing one to you and one to Yangyang. "Just tightly grasp it with your preferred hand or both, then jump and let the wind do the work. Your own resonance energy does the rest—keeps you stable. Easy peasy."
Yangyang demonstrates quickly—holding her own glider in her right hand and stepping to the edge without fear. "It's safe. Trust the frequencies."
You nod, taking the device in your right hand and holding it up.
Chixia counts down with playful enthusiasm. "Three… two… one—go!"
Yangyang leaps first—graceful, wind swirling gently around her as the glider opens its wings, catches and carries her downward in a smooth arc.
Chixia follows with a whoop—"Woo! Race ya!"—her athletic form cutting through the air with confident spins.
You step off last.
The fall is brief, exhilarating. Wind rushes past, the glider's membranes glowing softly as your golden resonance syncs with it instantly—better than either girl's, if the way it stabilizes you without effort is any indication. You glide down in perfect control, overtaking Chixia mid-air with casual ease. She laughs in surprise—"Hey, no fair! Show-off!"
You land lightly beside Baizhi, knees bending just enough to absorb the impact. Yangyang touches down a second later, folding her glider with practiced grace. Chixia lands with a flourish, skidding a playful step before snapping her own device shut.
Baizhi regards you all with that signature calm composure—expression cool, almost unreadable. Her seafoam-green eyes linger on you longest, sharp and assessing.
"You're awake," she states simply, voice even and measured. "And intact. Good. The resonance anomaly you caused upon impact was… significant. I've already logged preliminary data with Huaxu Academy."
She steps closer, gaze flicking over your form—with clinical curiosity. Then her eyes narrow slightly as they pass to Yangyang and Chixia—taking in the faint dishevelment: obscene streaks of dried fluid on Yangyang's face and hair that she didn't bother wiping, the way parts of Yangyang's clothes clung to her body creating dark patches beneath, and the way Chixia's shorts still cling a little too damply to her thighs.
Baizhi's brow arches almost imperceptibly.
"…I see you've been… productive during recovery."
Yangyang flushes instantly, ducking her head. Chixia just grins wider, completely shameless.
"Productive's one word for it," Chixia says brightly. "This is Tian Yang. He's, uh… special. Really special."
Baizhi's gaze returns to you—cool, probing, but not unkind.
"Tian Yang," she repeats, tasting the name. Something flickers in her eyes—recognition? Curiosity? "A fine name. I am Baizhi, Remnant Echoacoustics researcher at Jinzhou's Huaxu Academy. Your arrival has already disrupted several frequency models I was tracking."
She pauses, then adds—almost gently—"If you have questions, ask. I value precision over speculation."
The dark resonance still hums faintly in the air, heavier now that you have arrived in the clearing. Jinzhou looms grand and beautiful in the horizon… but right now something waits here, around you.
**Rover's POV**
With a confident smile on my face, I introduce myself, "Nice to meet you, Baizhi. Your beauty is breathtaking. My name is Tian Yang, but you may refer to me as Rover if that's what you'd prefer. To be honest, I just woke up half an hour ago and I don't remember anything. Who am I? Where am I? Except for my name and apparently fighting instinct." I take a moment to take in her elegant features and her deep, beautiful set of eyes before glancing over at the other two girls.
"Chixia and Yangyang gave me a short summary on our current situation and that of this world. I am willing to cooperate with you in any way I can."
Saying so, I step a bit closer to Baizhi, standing over a head and a bit more taller than her. I gaze down at her, all of her, with a suppressed hunger that she did not unnotice.
**Normal POV**
Baizhi stands perfectly still as you approach, her seafoam-green eyes lifting to meet yours without a flicker of retreat. The height difference is stark—you tower over her by more than a head, broad shoulders casting a subtle shadow across her curvy frame. Her black dress clings tightly to every generous curve: the deep swell of her E-cup breasts straining gently against the strapless wrap, her ass that seems ready to burst beneath the tight hem, the tight dress revealing the detailed outline of her soft belly and navel, the high slit on her right thigh parting just enough to reveal the pale skin and her Tacet Mark with 4 stars etched there. Loose strands of her knee-length black-and-green hair (with a few white strands) shift slightly in the breeze, framing her cool, composed features.
She doesn't step back. Doesn't blush. But her gaze sharpens—clinical at first, then… something else. The suppressed hunger in your golden eyes is impossible to miss; it rolls off you in waves, thick and deliberate, brushing against her own resonance like a challenge. Her lips part fractionally, the barest exhale escaping before she reins it in.
"Tian Yang," she repeats, voice smooth and measured, each syllable precise. "Or Rover. Either will suffice for documentation. The name itself seems to carry… resonance. Interesting."
She tilts her head slightly, studying you the way she might study a rare Remnant sample—unhurried, thorough. Her eyes trace the line of your jaw, the golden flow of your pupils, the confident set of your shoulders, then lower—lingering just long enough on the breadth of your chest, the powerful build beneath your jacket—to make it clear she's cataloguing every detail.
"Breathtaking beauty is a subjective metric," she says calmly, though the faintest flush creeps along the tops of her creamy thighs, hidden mostly by the sheer white panel of her dress. "But I will accept the compliment as… noted. Your lack of memory is consistent with recorded Rover phenomena. Amnesia upon discovery is common. What is uncommon is the degree of combat instinct you've retained and the prowess you have shown, from what Yangyang and Chixia transmitted to me. And the resonance signature you're emitting now."
She pauses, letting the words hang between you.
"Chixia and Yangyang have already briefed you on Solaris-3, the Lament, Tacet Discords, and Jinzhou's current defensive posture. That saves time, although I will provide you with detailed explanations later. As for cooperation…" Her gaze flicks briefly to the two women standing just behind you—Yangyang quiet and devoted, Chixia watching with barely-contained excitement—before returning to you. "Your willingness is appreciated. Huaxu Academy will undoubtedly wish to run a full frequency scan, resonance evaluation, and overclock diagnostic profiles. I can expedite the process."
Another step closer from you puts you both almost chest-to-chest. Baizhi doesn't retreat, but her breathing deepens—just enough for her large breasts to rise noticeably against the tight fabric. The dark resonance still hums in the background, a low discordant note undercutting the moment, but it feels distant compared to the tension gradually coiling between the two of you.
She lifts her chin slightly, meeting your hungry stare head-on. Cool. Composed. But not unaffected.
"If you truly remember nothing except your name and how to fight… then perhaps you should let me examine you more closely." Her voice drops, professional yet edged with something quieter, more curious, more mature. "Your resonance is… unusually potent. It's already interacting with the ambient frequencies in ways I've never observed. A direct analysis—skin contact, perhaps—would yield valuable data."
Yangyang shifts beside you, a soft, possessive sound catching in her throat, but she stays silent. Chixia, on the other hand, lets out a low, playful whistle.
"Whew. Baizhi's version of 'let's get to know each other' is way more scientific than mine," she says with a grin, though her red eyes are bright with anticipation. "You gonna let her poke and prod, Tian Yang? Or…?"
Baizhi ignores the interruption, her focus locked solely on you.
"I await your decision, Rover." The title rolls off her tongue with deliberate neutrality—but the way her seafoam eyes darken just a fraction betrays interest. "Shall we begin with a basic resonance sync here… or would you prefer the privacy of my lab in Jinzhou?"
The city sprawls behind her, grand and waiting. The dark resonance pulses again—closer now, like a warning.
**Rover's POV**
My eyes widen ever so slightly at Baizhi's demeanor and words. I initially thought Baizhi to be cold, but she is bolder, much bolder. 'Fuck, if you talk to me like that, in such a cold yet inviting manner, I'll only want you more.'
But before I could announce my decision, I sense a sudden surge of frequencies in the surroundings. Something is coming. Then following my senses, I instantly retrieve the training sword attached to my waist behind me, and intercept the strike of a creature. A humanoid tacet discord, different from anything I'd seen before and it's strength was immense. It's hollow golden eyes flare with purple fury and something that seems almost like amusement as it tries to push against my sword but I press my ground and take a step forward and with a powerful shove of my sword, I manage to throw it a few meters away.
