The man’s gaze was too unusual to take at face value. In fact, this person was the one who made her most wary. He exuded an overwhelming aura even among the twelve giants. She had felt at first glance that he must be the leader, and he had been the first to step forward and embrace her.

She didn’t reveal her thoughts outwardly since she felt she was in a unilaterally disadvantageous situation. Hiding her shrinking feelings in her gaze, she looked straight at him.

“I think someone mentioned a ritual earlier. What kind of ritual?”

When she stared at him boldly, he tilted his head slightly as if curious. The golden pupils less than a span away seemed ready to suck her in.

He narrowed the distance further. Their noses touched.

Riena instinctively stepped back and, startled by herself, ended up lying down on the fur bed. The man stretched his arm beside her ear.

“It’s nothing special. That guy probably doesn’t know for sure either. The ritual is just about tying you down so you settle in this place, so you don’t need to be too anxious.”

“What…… did you say?”

The explanation passed by too roughly to understand what it meant. She wasn’t sure, but it seemed to be a ritual related to herself. Tie her down? Make her settle in?

In the midst of confusion, another man approached her. It was the slender, handsome man who had mentioned the ritual earlier. Soon after, the cute man who had first extended his hand also came closer.

The men clustered closely around Riena who was lying down.

“Choose a man you like from among the people gathered here.”

The leader’s hand gently brushed Riena’s cheek.

“What happens if I choose?”

“I’ll f*ck you. Enough to satisfy you completely……”

Her eyes, filled with chaos and surprise, widened greatly. She covered her mouth that opened by itself with her hand.

She was speechless and couldn’t respond, but what followed was even more shocking.

“After that, you’ll have to choose a second man. You can enjoy yourself with several at once if you like. Everyone here will serve you wholeheartedly.”

Having s*x with all twelve men.

“That’s, that’s ridiculous. How……”

She absolutely couldn’t believe this situation. With her back against the cave floor bed with nowhere to retreat, Riena’s unconscious mind shook her head left and right looking for a place to escape.

The rustling sound of fallen leaves by her ear was annoying. As if proving that this place wasn’t the national museum in Harriton City that she remembered.

The part where she could feel that she had fallen to a place very far from the city where she was born and raised was from the language the men used. A completely unfamiliar language. And strangely, Riena was also speaking the same language. Impossible things were happening casually, making it seem like a dream world.

The handsome man who brought his face close beside the leader made a dreamy expression. Judging by his eyes, he seemed enchanted by her.

“Call me Saya. I want to be chosen by you.”

The other men also competed to reveal their names. Buried in the murmuring sounds, she couldn’t tell who was who at all. Riena was in no condition to understand or accept the immediate chaos, so she had no capacity left to remember mere names.

A troubled sigh leaked between her lips that gaped foolishly. Her own hand covering her mouth seemed about to be swallowed into her mouth.

The leader man slightly frowned his smooth brow without curves.

Like wind passing over the back of her hand, the man’s lips faintly settled down.

Startled, Riena fluttered her hand and pulled it away from her lips. She managed to save the hand she had almost eaten, but instead had to face his breath directly.

“Gift from the gods…… What should we call you?”

To be asked for self-introduction at a time like this. She pressed her lips together and didn’t respond.

Even as she stubbornly held out under everyone’s focused attention, his eyes hardened with displeasure. A feather-like kiss passed by the corner of her stubborn lips just like before.

Ticklish. A strange feeling sensation.

“If you won’t tell us, shall we just call you Gift from the Gods?”

She didn’t want to tell them, but she hated that kind of address even more.

“……Riena.”

“Riena…… A name as beautiful as your appearance. I am Murat.”

The sounds of calling Riena grew louder from here and there. People who recited it like a spell, people who created couplets with their own names and repeated them, people who called her Miss Riena with honorifics.

Even in her bewilderment, she quickly observed the situation to grasp what was happening. Now she could somewhat guess the circumstances. Judging by their reverent attitude and the atmosphere full of s*xual desire, it seemed she had to sleep with them in the role of a gift sent down by the gods.

The men with builds so massive they were close to beasts all had disheveled hair grown down to their shoulders. It was a complete mess as if they had never combed it once.

Barbaric men and a highly suspicious ritual, cave, bonfire.

Where on earth was this place?

She had read about primitive tribes of Akarion in books. Surely this wasn’t Akarion? She had wanted to take a distant trip at least once, but absolutely not like this. There were tribes there that ate human flesh, so maybe these men would eat her after s*x was over too.

She tensely glanced around. She hadn’t yet discovered any signs of them looking at her like food and swallowing their saliva.

As she just rolled her eyes here and there, Murat sighed quietly.

“Riena, you must now choose a partner for mating. You seem very shocked, so I’m waiting for you to calm down, but I can’t give you time indefinitely.”

Unavoidable pressure came immediately.

“Why do I have to do such a thing?”

“I’ll tell you the reason later. Choose for now.”

Murat lifted her up and seated her on his lap. He adjusted her eye level so other people could also come into Riena’s view.

Since all twelve couldn’t get close to her, they surrounded her in two or three overlapping rows. The few right in front touched Riena’s feet and legs with happy faces, while those pushed to places their hands couldn’t reach revealed themselves in half-standing positions. When she even discovered a man shaking his own p*nis that had gone somewhat limp while waiting, Riena hurriedly turned her gaze away.

“Hurry up.”

Murat’s urging seemed to poke at the back of her head. Her throat felt parched too.

“Can’t I not do it?”

“If it’s really hard to choose, pick anyone.”

“Anyone……?”

“Close your eyes and point.”

He sighed slightly once more. It seemed like an unavoidable situation. He moved to the edge of the fur bed and picked up a stone nearby.

“How about dropping this? Let’s say the person closest to where the stone rolls gets chosen.”

“That’s……”

Such an absurd method of choice. Riena shook her head vigorously.

She didn’t want to randomly select her s*x partner. Riena had always thought there should be a proper order if she was going to sleep with someone. A likeable first meeting followed by heart-fluttering dates, then having a proper wedding ceremony before showing her bare skin on a neat and soft bed. Wasn’t that natural?

Maybe this was a dream. It might not be real.

Even while feeling the rough hand around her waist and the bumpy cave floor under her feet, she didn’t want to accept reality.

The delusion didn’t last long. Murat handed her the stone and held her hand over it.

“Let me help you. Now……”

Their clasped hands rose to Riena’s shoulder height. The stone was held at their fingertips, and she didn’t know when Murat would spread her fingers.

“Wait, wait a moment.”

Riena cried out urgently. But perhaps because she had dragged out too much time, Murat didn’t stop. The man’s hand with a heavy weight tried to gently press her hand.

This won’t do. Please, I have to choose someone.

Her vacant gaze hurriedly swept the surroundings. Generally, all twelve men were good-looking and tall. Since they were strangers to each other, their appearances were such that it wouldn’t matter who she picked. Except for the man at the far end who had long beast claw marks left by his ear. Come to think of it, the man on the left had crooked teeth. The man who had been shaking his c*ck was handsome aside, but she didn’t like that behavior.
