You have trouble sleeping as Seriath rides you.

"M-master!"

Seriath gasps delightfully as she rides your member, her body moving like ocean waves continuously hitting a shoreline. With each of her movements, you feel her bottom slap against your thighs, taking you along her rhythm. Beneath you, the enormous mushroom that is able to support yours and her movement provides additional bounce and adds to her pounding body against yours.

You grip her sides, partly because you want to feel her curves as she bounces but also because you aren't sure you'll remain together while stressing the mushroom. Although you haven't kept track of time and perhaps doing would be pointless, you are surprised that the mushroom you envisioned is so sturdy. Then again, your expectations might not match reality. You hadn't jumped on the mushroom back then with Aila after all.

At least the embarrassment of beginning your training on a huge mushroom is gone as you can only focus on the lovely succubus queen whose red hair glows as if it were fire itself.

"S-seriath, I'm going to cum," you manage with a grunt, no longer able to slow down your hips.

The succubus lets out a heavy breath and then pulls your hand away from her side, intertwining her fingers with yours as she maintains her bounce. Without a slight worry on her face, she smiles.

"Master, please do."

Having ejaculated at least eight times before, there is a slight worry that the succubus would be ejected; however, it has not happened so far. Apparently, it's proof of your mental stability after recovering. In other words, while you still need to learn how to control your mindscape, you can at least subconsciously maintain it better.

As such, you don't hold back and release once more into the insatiable succubus who stops her movement as soon as she feels your spirit filling her. Shivering, she grips your hand tightly and lurches back with a grunt.

"O-oh..."

She remains upright for a few seconds before she relaxes and contently snuggles on top of you while pressing her lips against yours. You respond back by pushing your tongue into her mouth and wrapping your arms around her slender back, eager to feel her large chest squish further against you.

Seriath moans, closing her eyes and submits to her lover, allowing you to ravish her lips for longer before breaking away and leaving a bridge of saliva between you and her. Then, you stare into her ambitious eyes and while you are happy to embrace the horned-girl, you feel that you haven't been making any progress.

That is, you're supposed to fall asleep!

"This...is impossible," you breathe with a frown, "...how can I fall asleep when we're doing it?!"

Seriath hums, amused. "Should we take it slower?"

"You said that the last time!"

The succubus giggles and then proceeds to kiss you, but you don't let it last long as you push her away gently.

"Hah...Seriath, stop! This is serious! You said this is training, but how can this help me with improving my mindscape? I only managed to create this mushroom we're on!"

"It's a surprisingly sturdy mushroom too," she adds.

You look at her, growing frustrated that she's not taking this seriously. It's not like you don't like doing the succubus, but you feel that in the larger picture, you're life is on the line. Wasting time like this doesn't seem to be proving helpful especially in this first layer of your mind where time isn't slowing down enough.

Seeing your upset, Seriath stops her hips and sighs. "Master, I can't help you here."

You frown. "Why?"

"Because you need to own your mindscape and I can only do so much to guide you. I think the problem is that you're too focused on me."

Your brows furrow and you scoff. "How can I not focus on you?!"

"Master, what am I to you in this mindscape?" she asks, ignoring your complaint.

You pause, wondering if this is a trick question. "You're...you?"

Seriath smiles. "Am I really? If you're truly in control, then can't I be anyone or anything? Can't you make it so that I'm not really here?"

You feel it's easier said than done. Also, you don't want to simply make her disappear in your eyes; you don't want to be alone again.

"There's another thing," Seriath adds, seeing you in conflicting thought, "...I've never tried sleeping in my own dream or anybody else's dream. All I know is that I need to exist on some level so we can help push you down in your mindscape rather than out. So maybe the question to ask yourself...how do you dream?"

How does one dream?

You've heard of the term daydream where one is so preoccupied in their thoughts, they are totally oblivious to the world around them. Usually, people daydream over a potential crush or loved one.

Your eyes widen as an idea strikes you. Perhaps, it's not so much sleeping as it is becoming lost in your thoughts. In other words, becoming absent-minded; however, you feel it's difficult to focus when such a beautiful woman is in front of you riding you.

Maybe...just change it? Overlap this feeling with her for something or someone else?

As you think further, your mind feels clouded and before you, Seriath's form warps. You only hear her gasp in shock and call Janaeya who has been lazing around.

"Janaeya, come quickly! He's going deeper!"
