The first junk docked, having returned from an expedition that introduced ‘The Giona people’ to Ark for the first time.
The Giona had settled at the world’s westernmost point. They lived in poverty in a desolate and harsh environment.
To survive, the Giona became a dispersed, displaced people, embarking on a journey to find a future and a homeland, moving to any location that welcomed them.
However, the Giona people were accustomed to living in the heart of a deserted land, deeply connected to nature—the wind, the river—and embraced mysterious beliefs associated with the darkness. These beliefs included stories from myths and legends, gods they believe protect them, and even demons who are willing to punish human lusts that do not know what is right and wrong.
The Giona’s mysteries spread throughout the empire. They used special abilities to communicate with spirits. establishing themselves as a’spirit medium’ and making money from supernatural beliefs.
As the age of exploration transitioned to the colonial era, the Ark Empire evolved into ‘the Ark Nation’.

“Panting”
Imogen had not realized that a man so obsessed with her could have such a gentle, sweet, and addictive touch until she lay down beneath his heavy body.
“Ahhh—” A deep moan resounded loudly in her ears.
His hot naked body pressed down on her so closely that Imogen almost went insane. The young lady could only embrace his strong back as he continued to nuzzle his nose bridge against her white, slender neck. He gently bit her collarbone, leaving an indelible mark and impressing his identity on her body.
Although the alcohol made both of them more brave, Imogen remained fully aware. She understood what she was doing. She knew she’d let him hold her full breasts with his large hands. The mysterious gentleman caressed her, flicking his tongue over her nipples, causing her body to writhe from the sensations he induced.
Including his rough touch on the tip of her breast, which was as hot as a flame.
“Ah—”
Imogen’s desires were fueled by the smell of pine bark and wet moss emanating from his body. She opened her lips. She narrowed her eyes and started sucking on his strong neck, causing him to clench his jaw tightly.
They embraced, kissed, and clung to each other tightly. His presence was intense, full of lust, desire, and primal hunger, like a tiger in heat.
Imogen could only close her eyes tightly and bring both hands close to her body. As slender fingers gripped the striped bedsheet, it wrinkled. She felt his hot tongue and lips trace a line from her chest to her lower abdomen. Until the big hands separated both slender legs in delight.
“She panted—Ahhh Ahh—” She breathed heavily.
Her most vulnerable core felt his soft, hot tongue expertly flicking and teasing her sensitive spots.
She met his amber eyes, which stared at her like a hungry beast, as if he wanted to devour her completely.
His amber eyes gleamed with both danger and beauty. His mysterious and captivating eyes made her entire body tremble. The gorgeous body She moaned uncontrollably after being burned by the heat.
“Ahhh—”
Imogen felt as if she had fallen into a vast abyss in a single instant.As if falling into a deep abyss. The surroundings became dark, as if she had been lost in an overwhelming darkness, even as her body continued to writhe in response to the mysterious man’s sensual touch.
As soon as her consciousness vanished, darkness took its place. Before her five senses faded. Imogen heard a hoarse but affectionate whisper.
“I want you so much—Imogen.”
