I also felt warm. Way too warm, like I was buried under a dozen blankets...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gaaa— Ahh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I jolted awake with a gasp. My eyelids flew open, and my blown-out pupils frantically swept around to study my surroundings, desperately trying to make sense of where the hell I was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was in a... room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around me — the bed, the walls, even the roof — was made of crude, unpolished wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no mattress beneath me, only some coarse cloth serving as a bedsheet, and even that felt unpleasantly rough against my bare skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the so-calledbedwas nothing more than a rigid platform of saplings lashed together over thick wooden logs. Uneven knots pressed straight into my spine through the thin, scratchy fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make matters worse, it didn’t seem like I was wearing anything except my underwear shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what left me speechless, whattrulyleft me speechless, was the fact that there were two living and breathing people sprawled on top of me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was a black-haired young man, undeniably a catch thanks to his annoyingly charming face and the washboard abs on full display since he was shirtless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he had the decency to be wearing pants, which already made him more dressed than I was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was a pretty-faced girl with hair as orange as ripe tangerines, long and lush strands of which were splayed across my uncovered torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also modest enough to be wearing a loose beige shirt and slacks... though both those articles of clothing were bunched up in places, exposing far more skin than they probably intended to. Undoubtedly the result of a night filled with a lot of tossing and turning...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that explained the suffocating heat, I supposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But what it didn’t explain was why Michael fucking Godswill was wrapped around one side of me, while Alexia goddamn Zynx was draped across the other?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or why she was using my chest as her personal bolster while his face was buried into my shoulder like it was the last safe haven on earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the— excuse me!\" I yelped like a chaste maiden whose chastity had suddenly become a matter of public concern after a very confusing night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to sit up. Keyword:tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexia tightened her arms around my torso in her sleep, mumbling something incomprehensible as she burrowed her face deeper into my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael, on the other hand, shifted and threw one long leg over my thigh like he was claiming territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly and horribly, I looked down at myself. My sleepy mind finally shook off the grogginess and caught up to the scandalous reality of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people. A girl and a boy. On me. One on each side. Both breathing heavily. Both sound asleep. And both smiling in a way that suggested they were very, very content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasobviouswhat had happened here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...My dignity has been stolen,\" I concluded solemnly, a single tear sliding down the side of my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aghh. What a tragic way to finally achieve my dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You see, as much of a life of debauchery as I had led in the past, there was stillonething I had never done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A threesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be clear, it wasn’t because I was incapable of pulling two girls at once... or a guy and a girl, in the case of a devil’s three-way — which I preferred to avoid but had no particular moral objections to, providedIremained the center of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also wasn’t a problem of persuasion. I don’t remember if I’ve ever told you this or not, but I was, and still am, consideredridiculouslyattractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had never been a shortage of girls lining up to let me be their’mistake’for the evening, all more than willing, some even begging, to fulfill whatever questionable kinks I happened to possess at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow, some-fucking-how, the world always found a way to sabotage my pursuit of this fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without fail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, when it finally fulfilled it... it did so while I was unconscious!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I couldn’t even remember anything!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a long, mournful sigh and shoved aside the two idiots using me as their body pillow. \"Wake the fuck up, you predators!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm... five more minutes...\" Alexia murmured against my ribs. It tickled. She was pressed so firmly against me that I could feel the steady thump of her heart through her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nooo... wait... Imnghhstill haven’t finished cooking...\" Michael groaned into my shoulder, his grip on my leg tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, even in his dreams, the man was a workaholic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rolled my eyes and tried to free my hands from under them... only to realize there was nothing on my right side to free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, fuck... yeah,\" I muttered as a sharp ache flared near the place where Michael’s head rested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t have a right arm to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, memories of my battle against theGod Who Eats Is, and its dramatic conclusion, came flooding back into my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gazed down at my chest, and beneath the dense curtain of Alexia’s hair, an ugly scar was clearly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to sit up again, but only managed to pivot slightly, wedging myself upright by a miserable inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The star-shaped mark of raw tissue where the obsidian stake had pierced me was a vivid indication that I should be a corpse right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My right shoulder ended in a clean stump. I had no doubt the rest of the arm was currently sinking into the cold depths of theLake of Grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All at once, the weight of it all — Vahn’s tragedy, my conversation with Asmodeus, the myth he had told me, and the Spirit King’s goal — crashed over me like a bucket of ice water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, at the same time, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because at the very least... all of us were alive. Or so I hoped, considering how carelessly these two fools were sleeping on top of a recently dismembered man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay. This was okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was... acceptable. Very, very acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My head fell back against the wooden bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip. Drip. Drip—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genuine tears began to fall from my eyes this time. They slid down my temples and soaked into the scratchy cloth beneath me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was really alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, I didn’t care about the missing limb or all the cosmic secrets I had started to unearth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just so fucking happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had been religious, I would have been thanking a god right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But since I wasn’t, I decided to thank the only person who truly deserved my gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Me myself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, Samael~!\" I cooed to myself, closing my eyes. \"Ahh~! You’re so good, Sam! There’s no one better than you! Never let anyone tell you otherwise! Say it with me now! Say I’m the best! Yes! Yes! I’m the best! I’m the best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, so maybe I was going a little crazy, so what?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeeaaah! You are the best! That’s right! You areeee!\" I continued, cheering for myself like a deranged one-man stadium. \"Fuck the Spirit King! Fuck the gods! There’s no one above you! No one—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how long I would have continued that if, at that exact moment, the tarp draped over the empty door frame of the room to act as a separation curtain hadn’t been whipped aside with sudden force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped mid-cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My one remaining hand, which had been pumping the air in a victory dance, froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes locked onto the figure standing in the doorway, and in that instant, I deeply wished theGod Who Eats Ishad just gone ahead and finished the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the person who had entered the room was Juliana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood frozen in the doorway, her snowy white hair tied back in a messy bun, dark circles beneath her eyes suggesting she hadn’t slept properly in forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze scanned my tear-streaked, ecstatic face... then fell to the tangle of limbs pinning me to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared atme. Then at Michael’s face buried in my shoulder. Then at Alexia’s orange hair spread across my chest like a tangerine rug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence that followed was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few uncomfortably long seconds, Juliana slowly began to back away, carefully drawing the curtain closed behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Juli, wait! It’s not what it looks like!\" I squeaked, desperately trying to shove Michael’s face away. \"I mean— okay, it is what it looks like in terms of proximity, but there was no— I was unconscious! I don’t know what happened! I’M THE VICTIM HERE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But myShadowdidn’t wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"JULI! GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curtain fell back into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DON’T LET THIS BE THE LAST THING YOU REMEMBER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though my scream achieved what my thrashing could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael bolted upright, his eyes wide and unfocused, nearly headbutting me in the process. \"The dough! It’s rising— wait, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked down at his shirtless torso, at his scar, then at me, and finally at Alexia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sam?\" he croaked. \"Why are you screaming? And why am I... why are we...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’re a predator, Michael!\" I hissed, shoving his leg off me. \"You call yourself chivalrous but this is your true nature, you fiend! The first chance you got to take advantage of my vulnerable, passed-out, irresistible body, you committed unspeakable acts to me! Didn’t you?! Is this what they teach you at the Academy? Tactical snuggling?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" He looked genuinely baffled, his hand going to his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his rationality seemed to click into place, and his face shifted from sleepy to painfully solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sam! You’re awake... The Ring... it worked! You’re really awake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am! And I was having a very intimate moment of self-appreciation before you and redhead over here destroyed my reputation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexia let out a mumbling breath. \"Mmm... shut up... too loud...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I finally smacked her in the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THWACK—!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1679,"2026-05-30T12:03:22.768Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.979Z",1,"novelbin.me","eaa35753ff169d3e10c4bd9a3e9ae8037223f5111eec41c29e4d50e26bd353f9","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-359","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-357",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyoung-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-cover.jpg"]
