When I came to consciousness, I saw the incredibly long text before me. I had never seen such long texts or even heard about them.

There is so much that I am having a hard time believing as I read line after line.

Gasp!

All three of my classes advanced, but it was the merging of all three that made me gasp with shock. I had waited for this moment for a month, and it had finally happened.

What I got was beyond what I had dreamed. It had entirely changed my class.

Not only the class, but also my skills.

Over 70% of skills had upgraded and merged, becoming way more powerful than before.

There are only a few skills, such as Gut Alcohol and Liquid Calm, that haven’t been upgraded, but these are well-suited to the current class.

They didn’t need to change, and while they may not have changed, the class merger did bring changes to them.

The changes had occurred in the skill that I had with this level-up, before the classes merged, like Swift Blade upgrading to Fire Blade and Mistress’s Rest upgrading to Merry Slumber to suit the new class.

I read every skill and felt them.

Many of them have fire and flame in their names. I am getting a feel of what they could do, but how they would work will only be known when I test them.

They feel powerful yet different; they have undergone a thorough transformation, and when I focused on them deeply, I felt something that shocked me.

“Oh, sweet velvet!” I exclaimed, and intense excitement burned in my heart.

My new class is far more powerful than I ever expected. It’s incredibly rare, and its strength is undeniable—but here’s the strange part: it’s even stronger than it feels.

I have read about such classes, which are very rare but powerful.

It took quite a while before I calmed down and looked at each skill more carefully before turning to the attribute points; I have four of them.

I didn’t even think for a moment and poured them into the Mana.

It had now become my most powerful attribute.

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes and saw myself in an infirmary.

A ship’s infirmary, and it’s not my ship. It didn’t have an infirmary this large.

The last thing I remember was slumping by the wall. I don’t know when I fell asleep, but I am unsurprised. I had been exhausted.

Although I feel good now, I don’t even feel a shred of tiredness.

“Congratulations,” Tara said with a smile. She is sitting beside my bed with the book in her hand.

“Thank you,” I said.

“How long have I been here?” I asked, looking at the bright day outside through the glass windows. “One and a half days,” she replied, and a surprise appeared in my eyes.

I thought it would be a half day at most, seeing the daylight outside, but more time had passed than I had thought.

“How is Rexy?” I asked, and her expression turned serious.

“Same; Master Silver has arranged a special healer for her. They have already left the port of Barus and will meet us tomorrow morning,” she replied.

I didn’t like that news.

I thought she would have woken up by now, but her injuries were severe; she had lost too much blood.

“Is she here?” I asked. To that, she shook her head. “No, she is on a different ship,” she replied.

A few minutes later, I walked out of the infirmary and reached the deck. I could feel the eyes on me, with people talking and whispering to each other.

I could hear the familiar ‘whore’, but there was also the words ‘aura’ and ‘Unkillable Ranis,.’

That is the name of the pirate with the inheritance skill. It had really made that bastard unkillable. If I hadn’t created that dangerous brew, I might not have.

Even that wasn’t enough. I had to finish him off with my sword.

I didn’t even glance at their whispers and walked through the deck before I reached the railings and climbed on them.

The sea is calm, and there is not a single wave I can see.

Soon, I saw the ship where Rexy is. Tara told me about her condition, but I would like to look at her myself.

I activated the Stored Bottles, and liquor appeared in my mouth. I gulped it.

I feel the comforting buzz of it despite it burning in my stomach.

I deactivated the skill and took a deep breath before activating Gracefire Glide. The moment I did, the fire lit up under my feet, and I jumped into the vast sea.

…

City Hall, Greltheaven

“The healer had reached the ship and started working on Miss Rexy,” informed Zela.

Hearing that, I took a sigh of relief.

The pirate attack was shocking. I had made arrangements to minimize the chances of such a thing happening.

From choosing the longer, safer route to having the ship in a protected convoy.

The attack still happened, and the pirates nearly killed the girls. Still, Rexy’s life is in danger, and I hope this healer will be able to save her.

At least keep her alive till Namdar. Once there, I will be able to get the best services from the best cleric.

I am paying the healer a lot of money for it. She should be able to help Rexy; it is her expertise.

The attack changed many things. One is most particular: Barb. She had awakened the aura, immediately entering the ranks of the elite.

Very few people manage to do it, and what makes it special is her former profession.

No one expects whores to awaken aura, but two have done it from Greltheaven.

The entire Velvet Garden was abuzz with the news; last night, the floor leaders of Velvet Red even announced it and sponsored free drinks to celebrate.

This was something that thousands have witnessed. We couldn’t hide it, even if we had wanted to. So we just announced it openly.

We had even published it in the paper. It is the front page news.

She has now become a pillar of the city, as well as of Velvet Garden.

First Carla and now her; this is enough to make people understand how special the girls of the Velvet Garden are. It is them that make Velvet Garden what it is.

…

Transcendent Pleasure, Port Belnin

A beautiful middle-aged woman sits in her office, reading the file in her hand with complete concentration.

Every few seconds, she would turn the page until she finally finished it all before putting down the file and turning to the man in front of her.

“I want her! Increase the offer. Tell her I will give her the position of the Vice-Madam,” said Ophelia.

Yesterday, she received the information about the second whore from the Velvet Garden to awakening the aura. She decided to make an offer immediately.

In Transcendent Pleasure, many whores have high levels, but only one has an aura.

That is she.

She wants another person with an aura, and there would be no one better than a whore.

It is a brothel, and having a whore who has awakened aura and could fight will only help without clashing with the vision. For her, she is willing to make an offer she had thought of making to only one other person.

She wanted to offer that position to Carla Salt, but she didn’t.

She understood very well that Carla Salt would not accept the offer. That woman has everything she could offer, and on top of that, she has Silver.

Barb Utsa, on the other hand, is a completely different matter.

The woman is only a madam, but here she is, offering a position that is just below her own. It is a compelling position, as the Transcendent Pleasure is no common legacy but a throne.

She could feel in her heart that if she got Utsa, it would help her take her vision forward.

So, she needs to get her and thus give the most outstanding offer she can. It is one thing, she learned, the whores of Velvet Garden would not accept an offer if it wasn’t worthy of their value.

“I will,” replied the man in front of her, before his expression turned serious.

“The adviser had met me in the morning. He is pressing about it,” he said, and she sighed.

He is talking about pawns.

It had been years since Transcendent Pleasure became the throne, but it didn’t have a pawn. It is powerful enough to take one, but she is waiting.

She doesn’t want just any pawn; she wants the one that will help her with her legacy.

She has eyes on one. If she gets it, she does not doubt it will help her legacy. It might clear the way for Transcendent Pleasure to become a Grade V legacy.

“I will talk to the governor about it,” she replied.
