Free Web NovelChapter 16: Eva, My Eva
With the room finally clean, David carried himself back to his bedroom and simply stopped trying.
He didn’t check the lock, didn’t bother with the lights — just let the door swing shut behind him and dropped onto the bed like something that had given up mid-fall, the mattress absorbing the impact with a single, tired bounce.
He lay there, staring up at the ceiling, chest still carrying the dull ache of the day’s work.
’Brand new person,’ he thought. Not sarcastically, for once — genuinely.
Something had shifted in him, subtle enough that he couldn’t quite put a name to it, but present enough that he could feel it sitting there in his chest like a coal that hadn’t gone fully cold yet.
The system. The training. Holly’s laugh through the phone. He let it all settle, deciding he’d earned twenty minutes of doing absolutely nothing before dragging himself back to the reps.
He closed his eyes.
The afternoon light pushed through the curtain in long, quiet strips, falling across a floor that was, for the first time in recent memory, actually visible.
The laundry sat piled neatly in the corner. The thin, familiar staleness of the lower side drifted in through the cracked window — that particular smell he’d long stopped noticing, like old concrete and something just slightly chemical underneath it.
Everything was still. Everything was peaceful. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
His body refused to cooperate anyway.
He turned his head to the cooler side of the pillow. Then flipped onto his side. Then his back.
Then his side again, the sheets twisting faintly beneath him with each restless adjustment, the pillow somehow already too warm no matter which direction he faced it.
"No — come on—" he muttered, mostly into the fabric.
Another minute. Another turn. He finally slammed a hand flat onto the mattress and pushed himself upright, sitting there in just his boxers, staring at the opposite wall with the expression of a man who had been personally wronged by the concept of sleep.
"Are you serious," he said out loud, to no one, to the room, to whatever version of the universe was currently running his life.
"The one time I’m actually tired enough to mean it."
He sat there for a moment longer, then flopped back down with a groan, one arm thrown over his face.
’New routine,’ he reasoned.
’Body doesn’t know what to do with itself yet.’ Usually by this hour he’d have had a movie running in the background, or he’d have been working through one of the magazines he kept under the bed with the specific dedication of a man with no other hobbies.
But the TV was useless without a paid bill, and his mind was too loud for a movie anyway.
’Body just needs to relax,’ he told himself, with the calm, unshakeable logic of someone who had already made a decision and was simply building the justification around it. ’That’s all this is. Just — tension. Needs releasing.’
His hand moved to the cabinet drawer, pulled it open.
And there, waiting with the faithful, unjudging patience of something that had never once disappointed him, was Eva.
Eva was none other his personal sex toy. Factured with an articulate soft silicon like surface and laced with enough lubricant to save his erections.
It had guided Jim through his "rainy days" of his once virgin simple life which, as he would admit, did leave him sometimes forgetting the need for craving a woman.
His hand ran slow and familiar along the length of it, like greeting an old friend after a long absence.
"Hello, my love," he murmured, with a sincerity that would’ve been embarrassing if anyone had been there to witness it.
"Did you miss me?"
He was just settling into the moment when the notification fired.
[The Monarch of Sin engaging in such acts is already quite beneath his station. Role-playing, however, is a category of low that this system did not anticipate having to address.]
David’s eye twitched. "You had to ruin it. You literally had to."
[This system would encourage player to proceed, as the activity will contribute toward the relevant Penile Strength stat. However, please, show some dignity.]
"OUT," David said flatly, pointing at nothing.
The notification dissolved. He sat there a moment, jaw tight, then looked back down at Eva with the resigned expression of a man who had been interrupted mid-sentence by someone he couldn’t fire.
"Where were we, my dear?" he said quietly.
Eva, as always, said nothing. Which was honestly one of her better qualities since she was basically an artificial pu* whose only function was to absolve his release.
He held Eva with a certain reverence that, under any other circumstances, might have looked almost tender. He knew exactly what she was.
He knew exactly what this was. But a man had his needs, and right now, with the afternoon light fading and the world outside doing whatever the world outside did, those needs were frankly non-negotiable.
"For the good of the mission," he told her seriously.
And with that, David got to work, and Eva, as it always had, delivered it’s potent skills without complaint.
"Damn, baby!"
---
Some time later, David lay there staring at the ceiling with the deep, unshakeable peace of a man who had resolved all outstanding internal conflicts and required no further commentary from any system, living or otherwise.
Then the notification came anyway.
[How the Monarch of Sin has truly fallen.]
"Hehe...still worth it."
[Penile Strength: +1]
David stared at it for a long moment, chest still heaving, with Eva still loosely in hand, and the afternoon light now almost completely gone from the room.
A slow euphoric smile spread across his face — the smile of a man who had absolutely no shame left and had made his peace with that fact some time ago.
"Yeah," he murmured softly, to no one in particular.
"I did it for the good of the system."
He set Eva down gently beside him, with the quiet dignity of a man returning a sword to its sheath after a hard-fought battle, and closed his eyes.
Within a couple of moments, he was completely sound asleep.
