Ryuk faintly stopped after taking two steps on the stairs before he turned to the side.
There, on one of the bar tables, sat two ladies.
One was dark-haired and dark-skinned, lowering her bottle of alcohol as she turned her gaze to Ryuk.
The other was a fair-skinned woman with long purple hair, a cigarette clutched between her fingers, and a tantalizing smile on her face.
She was the one who had called out to Ryuk.
"You think you’re up for some good fuck tonight?" the lady asked as Ryuk watched her hand reach for her bosom, faintly squeezing it.
His eyes furrowed when he noticed a bright flash of light from his shoulder, along with stinging pain,
The one responsible was Void, whose claws were gripping Ryuk’s shoulder tightly, ist eyes widened to their max, blinking with the ultimate lecherous light that Ryuk had ever seen.
"Dayuum. It’s really soft and perky, Ryuk. Even more than that of Elder Celine and Aster! It’s the perkiest!" Void said, only to get a knock on its head, resulting in a loud squeal.
The talking cat drew most of the others’ attention as they looked at Ryuk, who felt like digging a grave on the spot and hiding within.
"Thank you. But I think I’ll pass for tonight, ma’am," Ryuk said with a polite smile before instantly scurrying off the steps, soon disappearing upward.
Faint chuckles rang out through the bar as the men watched Ryuk scurry away, and the dark-haired lady turned to the one who had asked Ryuk, grinning at her while looking at her surprised expression.
"Seems like your succubus charm skill failed today, Amelie."
"That’s what you get when you get too picky with men and spend years not improving your skill..." the lady said to the dark-haired one, who finally snapped out of her shock.
She took a long inhale of her cigarette before flashing a grin.
"Now, I want him even more..."

"Huuuuu. Finally, some bit of fresh air..." Ryuk thought to himself as he arrived on the third building’s steps.
The air was cold, and as he inhaled, he could feel the cool moisture wetting his lungs, chasing away the dull smell of alcohol and depression from him.
It was a long balcony, with doors by each side, and Ryuk continued his walk, looking at the top of each door.
He soon found the room with the Number 27 written on top of the door, and Ryuk stood before it.
On the side, there was a place where his card could be swiped. He immediately swiped his Adventurer card onto it, watching as the door opened up before stepping inside.
Before him was a living room, wide, with a floor not of tiles but of a beautifully green grass-like rug beneath.
There were huge white sofas, L-shaped with about six seats each, standing along with a massive white center table.
A huge TV set was mounted on the wall, along with some other technological device he couldn’t recognize.
Turning to the side, there was one other room, and Ryuk entered into it to find a massive bedroom waiting for him.
Wardrobes, a massive bed at the center, along with a study table at the side.
It had everything one would need.
There were two other doors: one that led to the bathroom and the other to a large balcony that held Ryuk’s breath as not only could he almost see the entire area, offering a great view of the Adventurers’ Guild, but it also had a mini swimming pool at the side.
There was glass that seemed to cover the sights, but Ryuk saw a function button to lower it and allow for the natural breeze to come in.
There was a full rest seat of fluffy foam at the side of the balcony, and Ryuk walked toward it, stretching fully while clicking the open glass button.
Immediately, a powerful burst of breeze came forward, rushing onto his face, blowing his hair around as he inhaled deeply, sinking into the softness.
"This is quite good,"
Closing his eyes, he barely had a minute of peace when he felt something sit on top of his neck and turned to see Void looking at him with a disappointed gaze.
"What’s wrong, Void?"
"SERIOUSLY!" Void roared out as he looked down at Ryuk, who kept a blank expression on his face.
"Seriously, what’s with you?" Ryuk asked once more as Void clapped his forehead with its tiny paw.
"You just turned down the perkiest boobs I have ever seen!" he said, speaking softly, although it sounded more like an incredibly loud roar of frustration.
Ryuk rolled his eyes.
"Don’t be stupid, Void. If she’s at the Peak of the Cataclysm Stage, then she’s probably a couple of centuries older than both our ages combined..."
"Tch, bullshit argument. I’d say she’s definitely bustier than most girls your age!"
"And hey, bitchless dudes don’t get to be too choosy!"
"Or what?" Ryuk said as he closed his eyes, only for them to get snapped open by Void.
"OR you’ll get stuck bitchless... for life!" He said that last part like an evil grin, expecting something from Ryuk—who kept his dull expression before shrugging it off.
"Hey, wait. You... you’re not even thinking about my words."
"Something... something is wrong somewhere."
"No bitchless dude should be like this..." Void uttered to himself as it went round and round, muttering wildly while Ryuk could only grin cockily at the dumb kitty.
He loved to see it confused
Suddenly, the temperature on the balcony dropped by a couple degrees as Ryuk opened his eyes to see the image of Isha standing before Void.
"Hey, Isha. Thank God you’re out."
"You saw everything, right?"
"Don’t you think there’s something wrong with Ryuk? All those beautiful ladies wanting to throw themselves into his arms, and he doesn’t even look their way."
"I thought he was just being shy to ask before, but then he got the offer. Can you believe this dumb good actually turned it down?"
"What’s with him, anyway? I feel like there’s something wrong somewhere."
"My catinstincts are telling me that!" Void claimed as jumped onto Isha’s arm, shamelessly wound around her bosom.
Isha giggled at the dumb act before turning to look at Ryuk, who was grinning too.
"That’s because Ryuk is not ’bitchless,’" Isha said, and Void’s jaw dropped, turning to look at Ryuk who had his eyes closed, enjoying the cool breeze in peace.
"Huh?"
"He’s not bitchless?"
"Yes, he’s not." Isha replied for certain
"I knew it!"
"The way Aster was looking at him back struck something in me."
"So, he’s courting Aster, huh? Tch. Sneaky bastard!" Void said as Ryuk’s eyes snapped open in shock.
"Hey! Watch it!"
