Luna opened her eyes and found herself wrapped in Ethan’s embrace.
She wouldn’t deny that waking up like this every morning made her feel warm and fuzzy inside.
However, today was different.
She could feel her magic reserves filling up at a rapid pace.
Today was the day of the full moon, and Luna could feel her body, which had been deprived of magic for the past few weeks, soak up the Moon Magic like a sponge.
However, she noticed that something was very different with her body.
Her Magic Circuits seemed to have gotten bigger, and the flow of magic inside her body was also faster.
Aside from that, she felt like she had suddenly awakened a new ability that was not there in the past.
The moment her Magic Reserves were filled to the brim, Luna decided to do a bit of experiment.
Usually, on the days of the full moon, she would start charging Magical Batteries, so that she could use them on the days she didn’t have any magic.
But now, she felt as if she could compress the magic inside her body, turning it into a concentrated ball of light that was as big as a small marble.
To her surprise, she actually succeeded.
The white marble hovered an inch above her chest, allowing the angelic beauty to pick it up.
She then closed her eyes to feel the power within it, and she was startled after making a discovery.
The amount of magic stored within the small marble was enough to fully charge five Magical Bracelets, which she used as her source of magic on the days when there wasn’t a full moon.
Suddenly, the white marble escaped her hand and flew towards her chest. It then merged with her heart, making the angelic beauty’s body shudder.
Although she was surprised, she vaguely understood what happened just now.
As if wanting to test her theory, she waited until her Magic Reserves were filled to the brim once more.
She then gathered all of her magic and transformed it into a condensed white marble, which hovered above her chest.
Once again, she picked it up, but this time, she pressed it back on her chest and closed her eyes.
Just like what happened earlier, the white marble of condensed magical energy entered her heart.
Luna could vaguely sense two sources of energy inside of her, which were ready to use at any moment.
However, she also came to an understanding.
‘I can only store two Condensed Orbs of Magic inside my heart,’ Luna thought. ‘Adding more might make me feel sick.’
Even though she still hadn’t tried it, Luna instinctively felt that this was truly the limit of her heart.
However, her experiment didn’t stop there.
When her Magic Reserves were filled, she then tried to press the White Marble to other places in her body, hoping to use them as her magical storage.
She tried to press it into her forehead, but it didn’t work.
Luna pressed it all over her body, but the orb wasn’t absorbed anywhere.
It was at this moment when she heard Ethan’s amused voice, whispering in her ear.
“What are you doing?” Ethan whispered.
Since he and Luna were at the farthest corner of the cave, no one was able to see what the angelic beauty was doing.
This was especially guaranteed since Ethan’s body blocked the views of anyone trying to look in their direction.
“I was trying to look for places to store this,” Luna replied as she showed her lover the condensed orb of Magical Energy that she held with her fingers.
Ethan nodded before picking up the white marble from Luna’s fingers.
He could feel very strong Moon Magic inside it, which almost made him drop it after touching it for the first time.
“Unbelievable,” Ethan muttered. “This magic power is equivalent to four to six Magical Bracelets. If you can store this inside your body, then you will be able to use your magic even when there isn’t a full moon.”
It was at that moment when Ethan thought of doing his own experiment.
To Luna’s surprise, the handsome young man casually put the white marble inside his mouth and swallowed it like a pill.
A moment later, the white marble dissolved and flowed inside Ethan’s Magical Circuits making his eyes widen.
Similar to Luna, he noticed something different with his own Magical Circuits.
After making love with Lily, Ethan had already noticed that his Magic Circuits had started to heal.
But now, they were firmer, larger, and the leakage was nearly gone as well.
Sure, his Magical Energy was still leaking, but it wasn’t that much anymore.
Ethan estimated that he could retain the magic inside his body for five full days now. Not only that, but his Magical Circuits had once again gotten bigger.
He had a hunch that all of the spells he could cast now would be more powerful than normal, which made his face turn solemn.
“Is it just a coincidence?’ Ethan thought.
Of course, he didn’t believe that it was just a coincidence.
The changes were too glaring for him to not notice.
If not for the fact that he had already used up all of his magical reserves and relied on the Magical Batteries that Luna had left him, he might not have noticed the changes in his body after making love to her.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Luna cupped his face and looked at him with a solemn gaze.
“How are you feeling?” Luna asked. “Is it painful?”
“No,” Ethan replied. “It feels wonderful, but I don’t prefer absorbing magic in this manner.”
“Why?”
“Because I prefer kissing you.”
Before Luna could even reply, Ethan sealed her lips with his own.
The kiss was sweet, and both of them felt good doing it.
A few seconds later, the handsome young man pulled back and smiled.
“Let’s continue with the experiment,” Ethan said.
Luna nodded and waited for a few minutes until her magical reserves were filled up. She then created another White Marble and gave it to Ethan.
This time, the young man pressed the White Marble against his chest, where his heart was located.
Unfortunately, unlike what happened with Luna, the condensed ball of energy didn’t merge with his body.
He then repeated what the angelic beauty did earlier and pressed the ball of energy all over his body, the sight of which made Luna giggle.
After his experiment failed, Ethan sighed and looked at his lover.
“Maybe we can find other ways to store this magic power in the future,” Ethan said softly as he placed the magical orb over Luna’s lips. “For now, re-absorb it inside your body, My Love.”
Luna smiled before slightly opening her lips, allowing Ethan to feed her the White Marble, which instantly filled up her magical reserves to the brim.
Ethan told Luna about the changes in his body, which surprised her.
“So, it’s not only me who has had changes in their Magical Circuits,” Luna muttered. “Do you have any idea how this happened?”
“I have a hunch,” Ethan replied with a mischievous smile on his face. “I think it’s because we…”
When Ethan told the angelic beauty his guess, her face immediately turned beet-red due to embarrassment.
But, after regaining her composure and thinking about it, she couldn’t deny that there was a possibility that he was right.
After all, she was perfectly fine until a few days ago.
The only thing that had changed was that she was no longer a maiden, but a woman who had given her first time to her beloved.
“Don’t think about this for now,” Ethan whispered in her ear. “I’m sure that we will find the answers in the future.”
Luna nodded her head in understanding. “I’m sure you will.”
Her lover was right. If these changes were really because of what Ethan guessed, then the answers would become clear once Ethan did it with his other lovers.
For now, she didn’t want to think about these things, so she buried her head in Ethan’s chest.
It was still dark outside the cave, so she still wanted to return to sleep.
However, she suddenly felt a connection with someone or something that was inside the valley.
A creature, who was at this very moment, growing stronger with each passing minute.
