Chapter 40: Practicing Alone In Training Fields
The sun was high in the sky, its golden rays streaming through the large windows of Alaric's bedroom, casting a warm glow over the opulent furnishings. Alaric stirred from his deep sleep, his young body stretched out in the middle of his large, four-poster bed. He rubbed his eyes, yawning widely as he looked around the room, his gaze landing on the naked form of Kara, his voluptuous personal maid, still lying beside him.
His eyes roamed over her body, taking in the curves and softness that he had spent the night exploring. He reached out, his small hand tracing the line of her spine, down to the swell of her hips. He smiled, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he raised his hand and brought it down sharply on her ass, the sound of the smack echoing through the room.
Kara stirred, a soft moan escaping her lips as she shifted slightly. Alaric smacked her ass again, harder this time, leaving a red handprint on her pale skin. Kara's eyes fluttered open, her gaze unfocused and groggy. Alaric smacked her ass a third time, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his lips as he saw the red marks he had left on her skin.
"Wake up, Kara," he commanded, his voice steady and confident. "It's time to start the day."
Kara groggily sat up, her large breasts swaying with the movement. She looked around the room, her eyes widening in shock as she saw the sunlight streaming in through the windows.
"Oh, god," she gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "I'm late! I'm so late!"
Alaric chuckled, his hand reaching out to cup her breast, his fingers squeezing the soft flesh. "Don't worry about it, Kara," he said, his voice filled with amusement. "I'll make sure no one blames you for being late."
Kara's breath hitched as Alaric's hand moved to her other breast, his fingers teasing her nipple until it hardened into a stiff peak. "But, Young Master," she protested weakly, her body arching into his touch. "I have so much work to do. I can't be late like this."
Alaric leaned in, his mouth capturing her nipple, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh. Kara moaned, her hand coming up to cradle his head, her fingers tangling in his hair. "Don't worry about it, Kara," Alaric repeated, his mouth moving to her other breast, his tongue swirling around her nipple. "I'll take care of it. But for now, you need to take a bath and get dressed. Make sure to come to my room tonight again."
Kara nodded, her breaths coming in soft gasps as Alaric's hands and mouth continued to explore her body. "As you wish, Young Master," she whispered, her voice filled with submission.
Alaric gave her breasts one last squeeze before releasing her, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Good. Now go, before I change my mind and decide to keep you here all day."
Kara quickly gathered her clothes and rushed to the bathroom, her body still flushed with pleasure. Alaric watched her go, his eyes lingering on her curvy ass as she hurried from the room.
As the door closed behind her, Alaric leaned back against his pillows, a sense of satisfaction filling him. He had spent the night exploring Kara's body, drawing out her pleasure, making her his. And he planned to do it all over again tonight.
Suddenly, a series of notifications flashed across his vision, the words glowing in the air before him. Alaric's eyes widened in surprise as he read them.

[Congratulations! Spending the night exploring Kara's body thoroughly has awarded you 5000 Experience Points.]
[Congratulations! Sating your hunger with Kara's pleasure has awarded you 4700 Experience Points.]
The notifications continued to flash across his vision, each one awarding him a varying amount of experience points for the actions he had taken with Kara the previous night. Alaric's eyes widened in shock as he saw the total amount of experience points he had acquired.
[Congratulations! You have acquired a total of 90,000 Experience Points from your intense and passionate night with Kara.]
Alaric's heart pounded with excitement as he saw the number. He knew that this should have been enough to increase his level, to allow him to reach Level 20 from his current Level 19. But as he looked at his status, he saw that his level had not increased. Instead, it was stuck at the maximum point of Level 19, refusing to budge any further.
Alaric's brow furrowed in confusion as he tried to figure out what was going on. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask the system what was happening, another notification flashed across his vision.
[Warning! The host has increased his level too quickly! The system is now forced to halt the advancement of level!]
Alaric's eyes widened in shock as he read the notification. He quickly opened his mouth to ask for an explanation, but the system beat him to it, another notification flashing across his vision.
[The advancement of level doesn't just increase the Host's power or abilities, but also widens the Magical Pathways while also intensifying the magical energy at the Host's heart. And right now, the Host's physical body, more specifically, the heart is not strong or grown up enough to handle the intensity of magical energy and also the process of widening the Magical Pathways. Thus, the system has blocked the advancement to Level 20 until the host is of 16 years of age.]
[However, the host does not need to be worried. These experience points along with all the experience points that the Host shall earn from now on shall be stored by the system and they will be returned to you by multiplying them five times.]
Alaric read the notifications, a sense of disappointment filling him as he realized that he would not be able to reach Level 20 right now. He had been looking forward to unlocking a new skill of the Harem God System, but it seemed that he would have to wait until he was 16 years old.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he contemplated this new development. It was a pity that he would have to wait so long before he could unleash his true ability. But at the same time, he knew that this was a good thing. It gave him plenty of time to accumulate more experience points, to become even stronger than he already was.
A smile played at the corners of his lips as he thought about the future. Eight years was a long time, and he planned to make the most of it. He would continue to acquire more experience points, to become stronger and more powerful. And when the system finally allowed him to advance to Level 20, he would be unstoppable.
As he was contemplating this, Kara emerged from the bathroom, her body wrapped in a fluffy towel. She quickly dressed in her maid uniform, her hands moving swiftly and efficiently as she buttoned up the front of her dress. She bowed her head to Alaric, her voice soft and submissive as she said, "I will take my leave now, Young Master. I have much work to do."
Alaric nodded, his eyes lingering on her curvy form as she turned and left the room. He watched her go, a sense of satisfaction filling him as he thought about the night to come. He would have her again, would explore her body, draw out her pleasure, make her his.
But for now, he had other things to focus on. He quickly got out of bed, his young body filled with energy and excitement. He took a quick bath, the warm water soothing his aching muscles, before dressing in comfortable clothes and making his way outside to the training grounds.
The sun was high in the sky, its golden rays casting a warm glow over the sprawling grounds. Alaric took a deep breath, the scent of pine and freshly cut grass filling his lungs. He felt a sense of determination fill him as he looked out over the training grounds, his mind focused on the task ahead.
Today, he would be training alone. His mother, Lyra, would not be accompanying him as she usually did. But that was okay. Alaric was eager to practice the forms and techniques that his mother had taught him the previous day. He wanted to practice them enough times that they became muscle memory, that his body moved instinctively and fluidly through the motions.
He started with the basic ready stance, his feet planted firmly on the ground, his shoulders relaxed, his chin tucked to his chest but his eyes level. He moved through the different forms and techniques that his mother had taught him, his body flowing from one motion to the next.
He practiced his punches, his small fists clenched tightly, his wrists straight, his first two knuckles striking out at an imaginary opponent. He practiced his kicks, his hips steady, his legs striking out in a controlled and precise manner. He practiced his blocks and parries, his arms moving swiftly and efficiently to deflect imaginary blows.
As he moved through the different forms and techniques, Alaric felt a sense of focus and determination fill him. He was completely absorbed in the task at hand, his mind and body working in perfect harmony. He could feel his muscles burning, his breath coming in short gasps, but he pushed through the discomfort, driven by a desire to improve, to become stronger and more skilled.
He practiced the different forms and techniques over and over again, his body moving faster and more fluidly with each repetition. He could feel the motions becoming more natural, more instinctive, as if his body was remembering the movements on a deep, primal level.
As he practiced, Alaric thought about the night before, about the way he had explored Kara's body, the way he had drawn out her pleasure, made her his. He thought about the experience points he had acquired, about the way the system had halted his advancement to Level 20. He thought about the future, about the time he would have to accumulate more experience points, to become even stronger and more powerful.
He used these thoughts to fuel his training, to push himself harder and faster. He wanted to become the best martialist he could be, to make his mother proud, to become a force to be reckoned with. And he knew that the only way to do that was to train, to practice, to push himself to his limits and beyond.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, Alaric finally called an end to his training session. His body was aching and exhausted, his muscles burning from the exertion. But he felt a sense of accomplishment, of pride in his progress. He had spent the day pushing himself, honing his skills, becoming stronger and more confident in his abilities.
He made his way back to the mansion, his body tired but his spirit invigorated. He knew that he had a long way to go, that there was still so much to learn and master.
