Dicken extended both hands and intercepted me. Then, he puffed his chest so that his back arched backwards a little, and I heard the sound of skin being torn apart, as if something was struggling its way out of its body.Mary and I were shocked by the Dicken in front of us—his hair was dancing in the air as if every strand was given life, and I suddenly noticed that there were tentacles as thick as eels flailing around between his hair, reaching into the water and streaking towards me before I could react.“Watch out!” Mary yelled in panic, and spread her claws to pull the tentacles away, only for Dicken’s tail to swipe at her, sending her slamming heavily into the bulkhead. Then, Dicken’s tail fins shifted form into a razor-sharp scythe, and swung it at her head. However, just as he was about to kill her, I bounded forward and pushed her out of the way with no hesitation, the razor-sharp fin swiping just past my head and stopping right above my back.Mary struck the bulkhead, blue
“Ah… Ah… No…”I shuddered as if I had been jolted, and my legs turned to jelly as my two tender spots were being tormented. In that split second, those tentacles slid inches up my legs and soon broke through my groin which was bandaged heavily. They crawled around, slowly slithering between the gaps of the bandages and undid them bit by bit, searching for an outlet to enter me.My legs were cramping from the pain and my veins were bulging over my neck. I could feel a merman’s sheer power crashing around wildly over my blood vessels and almost bursting. Sharp claws were extending out of fingers and razor fangs protruded out of my gums—despite being unaccustomed to that, I bit his tongue forcefully by instinct just as it was about to pry my lips open. His thick, black blood streamed into my mouth, and I swallowed in the confusion, before coughing violently.However, Dicken didn’t let me go—his tongue reached even deeper, forcing me to accept his invasive kiss. Like a thirsty beast, he
As I fell on top of Dicken, his black tendrils scattered, allowing me to clearly see what lay underneath: a black, jellyfish-like parasite attached to his nape that could have been fused into his flesh, though it appeared more likely to have grown out of it. Even as Dicken was choking me, I managed to press my knees down on his tail and seize the flailing tentacles. The tentacles started to secrete black, thick goo even as I bellowed furiously, “Get off! Give Dicken back to me, you disgusting poo!”“Give him back! Give him back! Give him back!” I repeated hatefully, my tears pouring from my eyes and into Dicken’s. Even so, his eyes were locked on me and held no sentiment, and those dark pupils seemed bent on consuming everything. I suddenly realized that every tear I had ever shed since I could remember had been shed for him, and never for anyone else or even myself. Even so, my tears were not affecting Dicken emotionally at all—did I just imagine that split second of hesitation j
I carried Mary to the cabin door and unlocked it. Light outside shone upon me right away as the door opened instantly, which forced me to close my eyes for an instant. However, before I could clearly see outside the door, someone grabbed me firmly and then shoved me aside. Even as my spine touched the bulkhead, I heard a hoarse, elderly cry: “Oh, my girl! My girl!”As my vision cleared, I froze in shock to find a man on his knees, clutching Mary’s body and shaking—it was Bob, who had tricked everyone by staging a fake funeral.He was as stiff as a statue, and I couldn’t see any expression on his face, but crystalline droplets could be seen trickling from his turbid eyes. If I were to identify those as tears, it would be the greatest joke I had ever heard. In fact, I couldn’t help laughing out loud from the contempt and rage in my heart then. I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Mary, who had been used by her own father as bait. “Hahaha! Mary’s actually your daughter, Mr. Bob?”Bob di
I had expected Gary to do something like that. However, what shocked me the most was that Bob—who was supposed to be Mary’s father—merely remained on the deck on his knees, even though his daughter was being given such an unceremonious funeral. He was hanging his head, as if it wouldn’t happen if he couldn’t see it.The icy raindrops that were pelting my body felt like icicles stabbing into my heart. Clenching my fist as an indescribable pain unfurled over my chest, I couldn’t help chasing after the armed guards as I yelled, “Wait! Please, wait!”They turned towards me in confusion but stopped, and I promptly took off my clothes to cover her. Then, I did my best to recall the lyrics of a particular dirge while I sang it, while gently drawing a cross over her forehead—I might not be a devout Christian, and I had no idea if Mary’s soul would be granted rest or reach heaven after her passing, but this was the only thing I could do for her.“Use a liferaft…” Bob said with a sigh just th
There was a reflection of me wobbling as Gary hugged me from behind over the sea’s surface, but my thoughts drifted through the sea to reach Dicken right away. Was he watching us? Would he get jealous? Would he show up? And in what form?“That’s enough, Gary,” I growled in irrepressible rage. “Let me go, or I will sabotage this ship and let those monsters onboard. I’m sure you won't want that sort of trouble.”“What are you talking about?” Gary seemed to think nothing of my words and even smiled without concern. Spinning me around and pinning me against the scaffolding, his drunken gaze twinkled playfully. “Are you saying that those monsters are targeting you, like they did with Mary? I’m not buying that, you little liar…” He got ever closer, breathing alcohol over my face. “I just wanted to tell you that you were so sexy that night you pointed a gun at me. Hell, it was so hot that I don’t just simply want to hold you—I would even take you right here right now, let alone hold you…
I saw a table and several decks of playing cards, and I was still sprawled over the table while the others were gone. Darkness was all around me, and it was very quiet. I immediately realized that I was once again trapped in a terrifying four dimensional space, and that there must be something behind my back. I dared not move and kept my stiff body over the table, keeping my breathing slower than normal. Amidst the darkness, I could see a webbed claw quietly placed on the table beside myself thanks to my night vision. As the pungent yet familiar sweet scent rushed up my nostrils, I became certain that it was Dicken.I could feel him leaning over my back, with his head brushing against my nape. His wet hair was spread over both our shoulders like seaweed, blocking my vision when my neck wound was covered by something soft and slippery—I realized instantly that it was Dicken’s tongue, that he was healing my injury. I was so happy I could jump to my feet, but I became worried again
”Don’t move… Linda.” A deep voice wafted into my ears, and I couldn’t help feeling excited. Turning around, I find myself looking into a pair of cobalt blue eyes—his eyes were enthralling as they always had been, but that bottomless blackness was now gone. Did that mean he had come to his senses? If so, why hadn’t his body recovered?“Dicken?” I reached out to grab his webbed claw in my thrill, and I wanted dearly to turn and look at him, only for him to pin me back against the table. His damp hair was brushing against my groin, and I could feel a wet, soft object sliding around my most sensitive spot—it was his most sensitive spot, lapping up my injured cervix.It had been so long since Dicken had cared for me like this, and I couldn’t help clenching my fingers over the table from the sudden simulation while my ears flushed crimson in embarrassment. I remained sprawled over the table, quivering as my injured groin felt the double thrill of pain and euphoria.I couldn’t help moaning
Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive
In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t
That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as
In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in
I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd
“Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh
My eyes welled with tears and my mind went dizzy, while a scorching jet of water shot into my body. That was when I saw a blue light moving downwards from Dicken’s chest to where we were connected, and as innumerable jolts struck all over my body, my heart clenched in the intensive stimulation.For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe as all consciousness and emotions seemed to fuse together, rushing towards the wall that was blocking my memories…Then, the wall shattered. “Linda… Linda…”The familiar voice could be heard as if from the distant horizon, though it soon became clear and ultimately echoed beside my ears, and there was no doubt that he was beside me.“Dicken?” I opened my eyes and found my dear leader. It was as if I had met him once more after a slumber that lasted centuries, and yet I felt him beside me all along, and the memory of him taking this body was extremely distinct.I was at once confused and mystified as the memories from two different dimensions slow
“Damn it, you crazy animal…” I cried and moaned, my legs that were kicking Dicken’s shoulder caught by him with ease. At the same time, his body continued to press down on me from above like a hill, holding my body firmly down.Dicken’s hoarse voice spoke beside me then. “Don’t move, Linda, or I won’t be able to resist violating you even more violently—you have no idea how delicious you are…”I froze, my breath cut off at his words even as his tongue slithered into my ear and kicked it as if teasing, while his webbed paw groped my breast. A paralyzing sensation that felt electric spread all over my body, slowly easing the bursting pain of being entered. Soon, a familiar yet irresistible exhilaration occupied my senses, and even as I kept gulping, my own spit was welling out the corner of my mouth.Curious, Dicken stared at the edge of my lips and extended his tongue to lick it, as if it were the tastiest raindrops in existence. At the same time, I could feel him entering several inc
“Don’t be scared…”As Dicken inhaled deeply over my nape, his breathing became heavy and choppy. He twitched as he snuggled up against my back, and I could feel his humongous member flapping against my buttocks, along with its scorching heat. How could I not be scared by the prospect of that thing penetrating me?!I clenched my fist and punched at his tail which was darting between my legs, but he easily grabbed my wrist and suddenly turned around, pinning me beneath himself while his tail slithered between my legs and lifted my buttocks. Losing my balance, I fell sprawled over the reef, and as he gripped my hands to keep them behind myself, tears rolled out of the corner of my eye by instinct as lust and fear suddenly erupted. “No, I’m scared, Dicken… No, you’ll hurt me…”Dicken ignored my plea for mercy, however, and kept leaning on me as he gnawed my shoulder, as if to devour me by one tiny bite after another. The tenderness and adoration he’d shown towards me just now was gone,
