The group laughed from Tiff’s response. Asher blushed. “Thanks babe,” he whispered. “When do you want to go?”
“Right now. There are thousands of fighters in the Roktai. The tournament started hours ago, or else we would never finish,” Lyton informed them.
“I have the title, can I go?” Atalanta asked. Now that they weren’t in the bedroom she put on her bored look. She wore a shirt that read, ‘wanna fight?’.
“Of course,” Lyton said with a smile. “Lyola, will you be joining us?”
Lyola was about to answer but she stopped and looked at Tiff. She slowly nodded as a creeping smile came to her lips. “Unfortunately I cannot. I have plans with my sister-wife.” Tiff smiled broadly at the title.
Asher’s dick wanted to harden at the idea of what they could be doing together. Then he remembered their reaction to Fresneah earlier. They were most likely going to plan some scheme to get her and Nadir together. Tiff looked over to him and winked. Tiff grabbed Lyola’s hand and they ran off.
“Have fun, husband,” Tiff yelled back at him. “See you later.” Tillie followed after them.
“Your wives seem to get along well,” Lyton noted. Tyranis too appeared surprised by the closeness of the 2 women.
“Tiff is very hard not to get along with,” he said and left it at that. Tyranis excused himself and met some other elves at the throne.
“Shall we?” Lyton asked. They began walking out of the throne room. Lyton introduced his party. There was a deep purple skinned elf that was a Sea Elf. A large man that had cracks in his orange skin. His species was Friar, and he appeared to be almost a rock or mud person. And a small elf girl that was about 5 feet tall. She had dark pitch black skin. She was hard to look at, her body kept trying to disappear into the shadows. She was a Star Elf.
“Were all of you born on Elantontrin?” Asher asked. Atalanta following behind, he finally remembered he was supposed to take her on a date. He reached back and grabbed her hand. She didn’t fight him pulling her closer. A small smile on her face as she blushed.
“No,” Lyton answered. “I met my companions in dungeon dives when I was young. The Roktai has not been to war in millenia. Since the Roktai have treaties to all the major Sectors we can travel easily. We pay a small portion of what we earn to the guild for the privilege.”
“Why would the son of the Guild Master want to dungeon dive?” Atty asked, never letting go of Asher’s hand.
“For adventure, of course,” he said with a laugh. “My mother was a Stone Elf. One of Tiberion’s 2 wives. We like to fight. I left home when I received my System and traveled Sectors ever since. Tyranis joined me for some time as well. He was the more bureaucratic brother. Me, I like to fight.”
“I hear you there,” Asher said. They stepped onto one of the many platforms on the side of the palace. They entered one of a few magic school buses on the platform.
“So, what can a Hero with Sex Mana do?” Lyton asked. The small Star Elf drove the big Glider.
“Have you met many Systems with Sex Mana?” Asher asked. No one else appeared to have information for him, and his future uncle seemed nice enough.
“A few. Usually prostitutes. Some Succubi and Incubi. I met a Madam once,” he said.
Asher laughed. “Yeah, I have a friend back home with the Pimp System.” Asher hadn’t thought about Doug in a while. When he destroyed his phone he lost his number. He had left Wayne Tyler with a ring for Doug if he ever did show up though. He hoped he was doing well, hopefully he got a new System. “Hmmm,” Asher thought, trying to think of what to say. “I could make all of you have sex,” Asher admitted.
“A Succubi or Incubi could do that,” the Friar laughed. “They have very strong lust auras.”
“That’s not surprising,” Asher admitted. “I met a succubi myself.”
“You should watch out. There is also a succubus in another Champion Team,” the Sea Elf warned.
“Really?” Asher asked, a little surprised. “Anything else I should know about my competition? Or should I keep it a surprise?”
“Eh, not too much,” Lyton said. “One is a Demon race. All horns and fire. The other is a group of clones.”
“Clones?” Asher asked. More surprised about that than demons. “How the hell does that work?”
“Supposedly they were a race like humans. I can’t remember what they were called. But a long time ago some scientist decided his genes were the best and started spitting out clones. Then they took over the planet and killed everyone else.”
Asher asked, “are they all one gender?”
“Yes, male,” the Friar said.
“That sounds really boring. Might as well put them out of their misery, I guess,” he said. That got a few chuckles. Asher felt like he was hanging out with upperclassmen, and was a little too confident. He needed to calm it down. “Have you been to any cool places?” Asher asked.
The group began to talk excitedly about all they had seen. From a dungeon on an asteroid to one under the ocean. They had been everywhere. Asher grew jealous hearing it all. Atalanta sat happily next to him, holding his hand, as she interjected now and then. Slowly she began to relax in the atmosphere as well.
It didn’t take long for them to get across town. They landed on the roof of one of the large buildings. “Perks of being the Guild Master’s son,” Lyton informed him as they descended stairs inside. They stepped onto an elevator platform and were soon dropped off on a busy floor. People chatted and talked among one another. No one really paid him any mind.
“Lyton, my friend,” a large rock man said. He looked like the Friar, but instead of orange skin it was gray. Asher used Identification.
Steon
Level ???
“Krag,” Lyton said, smacking the large man’s shoulder. “How long has it been? 2 years?” Asher guessed that was about a month to these people.
“There about,” Krag said. “What brings you to Roktai?”
“Just finished our delve a few sectors over. We were about to join the Ruins of Loradmere delve, but heard they finished so we came here instead. Besides, I had to meet my new nephew,” Lyton said, patting Asher on the shoulder.
“The Lawful Good, right,” Krag said. “Nice to meet you boy. I saw your fight with the Golden Jojo. Mighty fine work for your level.”
“Thanks,” Asher answered.
“I heard you killed that Blood Elf for Lyola’s hand,” he added. “What was he? 20 levels higher?”
Asher blushed again. “Like 10. I really tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted.”
“Well the city has been full of rumors about you.” They started walking to the larger crowd. “How long you here this time, Lyton?”
“A few days. I plan to join Tiberion and the other troops,” he admitted.
“Ugly business that,” Krag said. “More than a few dropped out of the Troops. Others passed the position to their heirs and sent them in their place. I doubt many of them will be coming back.”
“Which is good. Father has stayed on planet too long. He has been complacent. It’s good to see him remember we aren’t at the top of the food chain.” They walked in a group. Many others yelled over to Lyton and his team. A few wanted handshakes, others wanted words of advice. Lyton’s response was always to level up more. Asher really did like him, he was straightforward.
“What brings you all to the tournament?” Krag asked. They were behind some large bleacher seats. The audience in the seats yelled and called out now and then. The tournament ring was still blocked to Asher.
“Wanted to see who all was left in the guild,” Lyton admitted. “And of course to test my nephew,” he said looking to Asher with a wicked grin.
—
Asher breathed in and out as he stared at the floor. Completely nude he still couldn’t believe he let them talk him into this, but this is what he signed up for. Sweat trickled down his face. Nervous, he tried to calm himself. Then the platform began to raise him up. The bright white platform moved about an inch a second. Very slowly bringing him up through the hole above him.
Looking up to the lights above he heard the roar of the crowd coming from the circular gap in the ceiling. With a smile he forced a more confident persona on as he slowly raised into the fighting ring. The ring itself was a wide white platform. Roughly 30 feet across, beyond it were tall bleachers filled with people yelling and cheering. Lights overhead prevented him from being able to distinguish the different faces. Atalanta was out there somewhere, hopefully cheering him on.
His opponent caught his eye. It was an orange skinned Friar like the one in Lyton’s group. This one appeared younger, and had fewer cracks on their orange skin. What made Asher happy was that he appeared sexless, so there would be no potential crossing of swords. Since everyone there had passed the Roktai challenge they typically fought in the nude, just like in the Trial.
Asher raised his hands to his face and started circulating mana throughout his body. He cast Identification on his opponent.
Friar
Level 45
“Welcome everyone,” Lyton said loudly as he entered the ring. Asher got the impression he was the defacto Guild Master with the Troops. Everyone seemed to know and respect him. “You all know me.” The crowd cheered loudly. “But you do not know my new nephew. The Lawful Good from the currently Initializing planet.” The crowd cheered again.
“I love you Lawful Good!” Someone yelled from the crowd prompting laughs. Asher did not recognize the voice.
“He has been brave enough to take and pass the Roktai Trial as all of you had. But we all know you aren’t a true Roktai until you step into the ring,” Lyton said. “His opponent, Avel, was selected at random. Let's see who comes out on top.” Lyton stepped down from the ring. From the floor he announced. “Rules are: no skills. Only your own skill with mana and fists.”
Asher and Avel nodded to one another and the fight began. Asher was able to watch one fight before they talked him into it, but now that he was there he was regretting it. The mud-like man slowly moved towards him. His hands at his sides he appeared confident.
Mana in every inch of his body Asher jumped and let his knee connect with his opponent’s head. Avel took it easily and smiled up at Asher while his knee was still in his face. It was like hitting rock. The big man grabbed onto him and threw Asher to the ground. His health dropped by 10 points as his lungs expelled all the air from them.
Avel then began pounding down into him with his fists. A few connected but Asher kicked the big man off of him, throwing him through the air. The Friar struck an invisible screen and fell to the floor on his feet. Since the people wanted to see a fight, there was a barrier to keep fighters inside.
Getting up Asher decided to get really serious. He waited for Avel to come to him again, then the fight began. Asher put his weight into every blow as he struck at the thick heavy arms of Avel. The Friar yelled then started his own attack. Neither blocked or dodged. It was a test of strength and endurance.
Avel got a good blow against Asher’s jaw, Asher punched the man hard in the gut. He was finally reacting to Asher’s blows. They yelled and grunted as they put their weight into it. Neither gave an inch. Focused, Asher tried to find some weakness in the man’s defense but couldn’t. So long with Battle Instincts the only fights he had done with humanoids had been his few duels and his time killing slavers during his Trial.
Slowly he noticed it. A widening of Avel’s stance as he threw a heavy blow. Instinctively Asher ducked underneath the blow and slid smoothly toward him. Asher latched onto the Friar’s back. He snaked one arm under his foe’s armpit and the other by his neck. Squeezing his head and armpit together hard. The Friar struggled as Asher hoped this worked on this species too. Holding his breath Asher squeezed harder. The orange skin turned red in his face as he struggled to breath. He let out a gasp then became boneless.
Asher breathed in heavily then dropped his opponent to the ground. After a few seconds the Friar woke up. He cursed as he looked up at Asher. Extending his hand down the orange skinned man took it with a grunt.
“Very well done,” Lyton said as he stepped up. “Maybe some of the rumors about you are true,” Lyton said with a laugh. “I think you’ve proved yourself well enough Lawful Good. Go enjoy the other fights.” Asher waved, he shook Avel’s hand and stepped off the platform. “Now Avel must prove himself to the next challenger…”
Smiling, Asher willed out a towel and wiped sweat off of himself. Then with a thought he was clothed. A few people stopped and asked to shake his hand. But it didn’t take long for Atalanta to find him.
“Have fun?” She asked shyly from beside some bleachers.
“A little,” he admitted. “Its good to not fight monsters now and then. What about you?”
“Bored,” she said.
“Then let's go on our date,” he said with a smile.
“I thought you forgot,” she said, putting on a wide smile.
“I was hoping this could be our date, but it’s not what I expected.” They walked out hand in hand. A few people wanted to shake his hand, more from his title than his fight. Asher paid them compliments but soon they were taking the platform elevator down. Ash sent Tiff a text and said he would be back later. She didn’t respond.
“What would you like to do?” Asher asked.
“Dinner, I’m starved,” she admitted. It was a little past lunchtime.
“Know anywhere?”
“There's a place I heard about,” she admitted. “Let’s go.”
Soon they were on his Glider, she latched onto his back. Directing him back across town they quietly flowed with the traffic. She directed them down to a certain building. Asher was now able to read the sign on the side that read ‘Entertainment’.
“What's this?” He asked.
“Entertainment, duh,” she said. He rolled his eyes while she laughed. They walked in together. “I thought it was a little weird that they don’t have carnivals and stuff here. I asked one of the servants and she said they are all stuck here. This is the classic date location.”
Stepping in they were met with another large lobby. Asher noticed there were a lot more kids with all kinds of toys in their hands. Some balloon-like things, maybe a yoyo here and there. Curious by what he saw, they took the elevator to the 2nd floor. It was a food court. The sweet smells overtook him. Reminded by the smells, he decided to switch his taste to cotton candy for a while. Using mana he slowly tried to remember the flavor. Mana filling his mouth and using his mind as a guide his saliva soon tasted like cotton candy. He coursed mana through the rest of his body to make sure it stuck.
They walked to a few food stands and picked random things to try. He had some Elantontrin Standard in his ring, and most everything was cheap. Every food was pierced on sticks, so they threw them in their rings and continued walking. Going up the elevator from floor to floor.
As they played something similar to basketball at a stand Asher tried to keep the conversation going. “What’s your fondest memory?”
“Lately or on Earth?” She asked shyly.
“On Earth,” he clarified.
“I had some friends in the orphanage. We would always get into trouble, but once a year we would get to go to the carnival. We did field trips now and then, but I always enjoyed the carnival the most,” she admitted.
“Why didn’t you run away and join it?”
She laughed. “I thought about it. But never got the nerve.”
“If you had, what would have been your dream job?”
“Guess,” she said as they moved to the next game.
“Lion Tamer. No wait, the lady that had the giant snake,” he said.
She shivered, “No way. They freak me out. I would have been the knife thrower. Hands down.”
“Damn, that was my next guess.”
“What about you?” She asked.
“Hmmm, one of the clowns,” he admitted. “Don’t laugh. I went to this circus once, and they did all these crazy acrobatics. Hanging from the ceiling. I was impressed. Made me respect clowns after that.” She laughed as they went to another floor. This one was more of a museum. They paid and walked around. They tried to guess the theme of the paintings.
“What do you think it’s like?” Atalanta asked. “Being able to live thousands of years?”
“We will find out I guess,” he said with a shrug. “But seriously, that sounds boring. How do these people survive? I’d get bored out of my mind if I had to go to 1 job, day in and out for a thousand years.”
“I agree,” she said.
“I’d prefer to dungeon dive. Gain new levels. See new places. This,” he said pointing to a painting of stars in the sky, “is the tip of the iceberg. I mean we have only gone to 2 civilized planets. There’s got to be some amazing stuff out there.”
“Yeah, but why see it? I mean, would a normal life be so bad?”
He thought about it for a little bit. He couldn’t picture it at first. At home with Lyola, Joon, Zora, and Tiff. Their kids playing. Living in some large home with a pool. Friends and family close by. Part of him could picture it. Then another wanted to replace the home with a spaceship. The pool with some lake on a planet they landed on. That sounded a lot more exciting to him.
“Sorry,” she said after his long pause.
“What, why?” He asked. “I was just trying to picture it. Could I go back to my old life? No. Our planet is going through the apocalypse right now. I doubt my old home will be there. Would I want to go back? Kind of, but kind of not. I mean look at this city. These people want for nothing. The planet is perfect. Clean energy, giant buildings. Overpopulation and pollution aren’t a concern anymore. I mean heck, we already own another planet. I can barely wrap my head around that fact. If we can pass these Trials, our people have a chance to become like this,” he said pointing to a window of the city.
She stared with him out the window. He drew her close and rested his arm on her shoulder. Atty’s head leaned into him as they stared for a little while. “I guess I can see that too,” she admitted. “But it’s gonna be hard. And you do know it’s not all on you, right?”
“I guess,” he said. “We are here though, no one else. I think all of us were chosen for a reason.”
“Oh yeah? What’s my reason?” She asked.
“To watch me have sex, duh,” he said. She slapped his groin. Asher doubled over laughing and moaning. “I’m kidding.” She chuckled as she made him stand straight up again. She rested her head back on his shoulder. The pain stopped and he smiled as he pulled her closer. His hand went down to squeeze her ass.
“Nope, I knew I needed a bank robber for this job,” he said walking them away, his hand squeezing her ass cheek. “I mean we have the muscles, Abby, the quiet one, Ming, the bumpkin, Vincent, the business man, Nadir, the shy one, Keera, the goody two shoes, my mom and dad, the looks, me, the flirt, Tiff, and of course Batman. You never have a full team without Batman. I knew I needed a thief to round us all up.”
“How did you get so wise?” She asked.
“Tons of movies. Where else could I learn about the ways of the universe?” She laughed and they went to another floor.
“How are you doing after your Trial?” He asked eventually.
“How do you mean?”
“Lyola said she couldn’t stop crying for about a month. Curious how you’re holding up,” he said.
She sighed. “I’m better than I was, since we started all of this,” she said, pointing between them. “What about you? You had it harder.”
“Ah well, I had Tiff,” he said. “She snapped me out of it pretty quick.”
“How’d she manage that?” She asked, a knowing smile.
“Hired a bunch of hookers and made me sleep with all of them,” he admitted.
Atalanta laughed. “That’d do it,” she said. “I’m…okay I think. Thanks for not pressuring me.”
“Hey, I enjoy my time with you,” he said truthfully. “If you said you just wanted to spar and hang out I’d be fine with it. Sorry that most of my pastimes involve us nude.”
“I’m not complaining,” she admitted. “I can’t say I don’t miss watching TV, but your past times are a lot more fun.” She bit her lip and pressed a button for a certain floor. When they stopped they were met with a very empty floor. Most all the others were filled with people, but this one only had one other person. At a reception desk sat an elf who smiled at them brightly.
“Welcome to Immersion,” she said. “How can I help you?”
“We would like a room,” Atalanta said confidently. He could see her hand shaking though. Curious, Asher looked around but couldn’t see anything that let him know what the place was. The receptionist led them back to a room and unlocked it. There were many doors like the one they entered, he thought he heard singing from one of them.
“Everything is controlled by an AI, so simply say what you want,” the receptionist informed them. “Menu is here, you can order when ready. You have complete privacy. Your bill will be tallied at the end.” With that she bowed and stepped out. Atalanta locked the door as Asher looked around. There were large pillows on the ground, all together they made a U-shape, facing a blank wall.
“Is this a karaoke bar?” Asher asked. Amazement in his voice.
“Kind of,” she admitted as she meekly walked to the center of the room. “A supernova,” she said aloud. The room around them disappeared and they were in the blankness of space. Before them was a large twisting solar system, and in the center was a bright sun. The sun slowly began expanding. It grew exponentially. Asher walked up to Atalanta and grabbed her around the waist as they stared at it growing larger. Then the sun exploded further and enveloped them in the red hot glow.
“A black hole,” she said. The red disappeared and the room was black again. In the distance a circular ring appeared. The ring was orange and was thicker on top, while thinner on bottom. It looked a lot like the scene from Interstellar with the blackhole. “I asked some servants and they said this was an Immersion Room. You can see anything you want here. Well almost anything. A lot of people use them to live dreams and fantasies.”
“And what’s your fantasy?” Asher asked, amazed as he stared at the blank hole in space. She meekly rubbed her head against his chest as she blushed. Asher could guess since he knew her kinks. “Street level of the Roktai Capital,” he announced to the room. They were soon street level. People walked this way and that. He turned and began kissing her.
She melted into his arms as he picked her up. Still clothed, she wrapped her legs around him. In her thick boots, leather trench coat, and white shirt that read ‘wanna fight?’. He couldn’t help but be glad she had opened up to him.
“Or maybe…” he said, turning to the screen in front of him. “A stage, with a huge audience.” They were soon on stage with people staring at them. She groaned as her body shook. “Is this what you like?” He asked, looking into her green eyes.
“Maybe?” She asked. “Just been one of those things at the back of my mind. I don’t have the nerve to do it in front of people, but here I could fulfill my fantasy.”
“You know we’ve already done some stuff in front of a lot of people right?”
She nodded her head hotly. “It turned me on so much to know the whole League saw me blowing you.” She attacked his mouth. Asher wasn’t too interested in people watching, but if she liked it he didn’t mind. He willed his clothes away. She stayed clothed for now. Asher coated her in 40% Pheromones as she grinded on his front. “I want you,” she pleaded as she caught her breath.
“In front of all these people?” He asked, looking at the screen. She turned to look. All eyes were on her. She nodded, a blush on her face. He pulled her over to one of the pillows. It was nice to be able to get rid of clothes with a thought, but he felt she wanted the classic feel. Setting her down on a long cushion he took off her leather boots. Then he helped her out of her coat. Gingerly he pulled her shirt over her head, but left her bra on. Her crotch bucked as he slid his fingers into her leather pants. He kissed her stomach. “Are you sure?”
“I was sure on the island,” she groaned. “Part of me wanted this though,” she said. He nodded and slowly pulled her pants down. She wore a red lace thong and bra. He stared down at her for a little bit watching her breath deeply.
“You’re so beautiful,” he said leaning into her. His naked erection poking her entrance. He felt her become wetter as her chest arched up to meet his thick pecs. They kissed for a long while. Never tiring of one another’s lips. When he felt she was ready he unclasped her bra with great effort. Apparently Tiff’s act of not wearing underwear had made him very rusty. With his strength it was hard not to rip it off of her.
When her breasts were revealed he latched onto the perky nipples. They were C-cups, he knew that now, and fit her perfectly. She groaned in pleasure from his touch and the Pheromones in the air. Hoping to loosen her up a little he moved his fingers into the straps of her lace panties. Pulling them down just a little his right hand snuck inside. Her now hairless sex, it was smooth as he ran his fingers across her skin. When he reached her wet lower lips he slowly explored.
“All of them are watching,” he said, looking at the large faceless crowd. She locked eyes with him and shuttered as she came. Biting her lip, it was a tiny orgasm, but enough for her.
“Please just fuck me,” she moaned. He laughed as he pulled her panties the rest of the way down.
“Smaller, I’m guessing?” He asked. She nodded as she stared at his erect dick.
“For now,” she said. He shrunk it down to 7 inches, it had been a while since he had to do that. But with her being a virgin he didn’t want to risk anything. Lining his dick up with her he coursed mana through his dick and slipped between her pussy lips. She groaned as he entered her. When he came to her maiden head he waited a split second and pushed in.
She grunted with the pain but he used Healing Touch on her abs as he slid in more. She blinked as a few tears left her eyes. When he was all the way inside he waited. Staring down onto her he asked, “I thought you had Invulnerability?”
Atalanta smiled and slapped his side. “Fuck me already you fucking porn star.” He laughed as he drew back. Then he slowly went back in. No apparent pain on her face he stopped casting Healing Touch. Speeding up she slowly started giving out pleasurable moans.
“You’re so tight,” he commented, and she was. He hadn’t done this since Joon. Luckily, he could control when he came.
“You’re so fucking big,” she said through gritted teeth. He noticed her eyes fluttering as he pounded into her. It wasn’t long until she was shaking and digging her nails into his back. “Holy fuck!” She screamed. Her body spasmed as the orgasm coursed through her. Long and hard she didn’t squirt but somehow squeezed him harder. Asher came inside her with the feeling. His cock bottoming out all the way she moaned in his ear as she felt every spurt of his dick.
They breathed in and out heavily. Slowly she began to relax and dropped her hands from digging into him. “Mother of god that was good,” she said. “I thought it would be like, you know. When you do your other magic.”
“Oh I didn’t use much of anything,” he confessed. “I wanted you to have me raw. And yes, oral sex is good, but I don’t think much beats the classic.” She laughed. “So should we keep going?” She blushed but nodded slowly.
“They’re all watching you,” he whispered in her ear. “Let's give them a show.” With that he coated her in Pheromones and began pounding again. She was soon yelling loudly as he did. When he was done with missionary he wrapped an arm around her as they stood. He held her up as he humped into her. When she came again he pulled her off him and flipped her around. Using Cleanliness to clean the blood off of his lower member he slammed into her from the back. “Does this turn you on?” He whispered in her ear as he slammed into her cervix. His dick slowly growing. “When people watch?” She shook as she stared at the fake crowd of people.
“Yes!” She rasped as she began to cum again. He started pounding into her as she did. His Pheromones high, she continued to cum hard. Doing all the work he pushed her away and pulled her back to slam on his pelvis. When he was finally ready he pounded into her hard as he came inside all the way. Groaning in her ear she squeaked as his dick pulsed with each spurt of his cum. When he was done he breathed heavily.
He pulled Atalanta’s face to his and started kissing her ready for round 3, but she was already lost. Her eyes distant, he chuckled as he set her down on a pillow. Pulling up the menu he wondered what he should order for food before she woke up and they started again.
The group laughed from Tiff’s response. Asher blushed. “Thanks babe,” he whispered. “When do you want to go?”
“Right now. There are thousands of fighters in the Roktai. The tournament started hours ago, or else we would never finish,” Lyton informed them.
“I have the title, can I go?” Atalanta asked. Now that they weren’t in the bedroom she put on her bored look. She wore a shirt that read, ‘wanna fight?’.
“Of course,” Lyton said with a smile. “Lyola, will you be joining us?”
Lyola was about to answer but she stopped and looked at Tiff. She slowly nodded as a creeping smile came to her lips. “Unfortunately I cannot. I have plans with my sister-wife.” Tiff smiled broadly at the title.
Asher’s dick wanted to harden at the idea of what they could be doing together. Then he remembered their reaction to Fresneah earlier. They were most likely going to plan some scheme to get her and Nadir together. Tiff looked over to him and winked. Tiff grabbed Lyola’s hand and they ran off.
“Have fun, husband,” Tiff yelled back at him. “See you later.” Tillie followed after them.
“Your wives seem to get along well,” Lyton noted. Tyranis too appeared surprised by the closeness of the 2 women.
“Tiff is very hard not to get along with,” he said and left it at that. Tyranis excused himself and met some other elves at the throne.
“Shall we?” Lyton asked. They began walking out of the throne room. Lyton introduced his party. There was a deep purple skinned elf that was a Sea Elf. A large man that had cracks in his orange skin. His species was Friar, and he appeared to be almost a rock or mud person. And a small elf girl that was about 5 feet tall. She had dark pitch black skin. She was hard to look at, her body kept trying to disappear into the shadows. She was a Star Elf.
“Were all of you born on Elantontrin?” Asher asked. Atalanta following behind, he finally remembered he was supposed to take her on a date. He reached back and grabbed her hand. She didn’t fight him pulling her closer. A small smile on her face as she blushed.
“No,” Lyton answered. “I met my companions in dungeon dives when I was young. The Roktai has not been to war in millenia. Since the Roktai have treaties to all the major Sectors we can travel easily. We pay a small portion of what we earn to the guild for the privilege.”
“Why would the son of the Guild Master want to dungeon dive?” Atty asked, never letting go of Asher’s hand.
“For adventure, of course,” he said with a laugh. “My mother was a Stone Elf. One of Tiberion’s 2 wives. We like to fight. I left home when I received my System and traveled Sectors ever since. Tyranis joined me for some time as well. He was the more bureaucratic brother. Me, I like to fight.”
“I hear you there,” Asher said. They stepped onto one of the many platforms on the side of the palace. They entered one of a few magic school buses on the platform.
“So, what can a Hero with Sex Mana do?” Lyton asked. The small Star Elf drove the big Glider.
“Have you met many Systems with Sex Mana?” Asher asked. No one else appeared to have information for him, and his future uncle seemed nice enough.
“A few. Usually prostitutes. Some Succubi and Incubi. I met a Madam once,” he said.
Asher laughed. “Yeah, I have a friend back home with the Pimp System.” Asher hadn’t thought about Doug in a while. When he destroyed his phone he lost his number. He had left Wayne Tyler with a ring for Doug if he ever did show up though. He hoped he was doing well, hopefully he got a new System. “Hmmm,” Asher thought, trying to think of what to say. “I could make all of you have sex,” Asher admitted.
“A Succubi or Incubi could do that,” the Friar laughed. “They have very strong lust auras.”
“That’s not surprising,” Asher admitted. “I met a succubi myself.”
“You should watch out. There is also a succubus in another Champion Team,” the Sea Elf warned.
“Really?” Asher asked, a little surprised. “Anything else I should know about my competition? Or should I keep it a surprise?”
“Eh, not too much,” Lyton said. “One is a Demon race. All horns and fire. The other is a group of clones.”
“Clones?” Asher asked. More surprised about that than demons. “How the hell does that work?”
“Supposedly they were a race like humans. I can’t remember what they were called. But a long time ago some scientist decided his genes were the best and started spitting out clones. Then they took over the planet and killed everyone else.”
Asher asked, “are they all one gender?”
“Yes, male,” the Friar said.
“That sounds really boring. Might as well put them out of their misery, I guess,” he said. That got a few chuckles. Asher felt like he was hanging out with upperclassmen, and was a little too confident. He needed to calm it down. “Have you been to any cool places?” Asher asked.
The group began to talk excitedly about all they had seen. From a dungeon on an asteroid to one under the ocean. They had been everywhere. Asher grew jealous hearing it all. Atalanta sat happily next to him, holding his hand, as she interjected now and then. Slowly she began to relax in the atmosphere as well.
It didn’t take long for them to get across town. They landed on the roof of one of the large buildings. “Perks of being the Guild Master’s son,” Lyton informed him as they descended stairs inside. They stepped onto an elevator platform and were soon dropped off on a busy floor. People chatted and talked among one another. No one really paid him any mind.
“Lyton, my friend,” a large rock man said. He looked like the Friar, but instead of orange skin it was gray. Asher used Identification.
Steon
Level ???
“Krag,” Lyton said, smacking the large man’s shoulder. “How long has it been? 2 years?” Asher guessed that was about a month to these people.
“There about,” Krag said. “What brings you to Roktai?”
“Just finished our delve a few sectors over. We were about to join the Ruins of Loradmere delve, but heard they finished so we came here instead. Besides, I had to meet my new nephew,” Lyton said, patting Asher on the shoulder.
“The Lawful Good, right,” Krag said. “Nice to meet you boy. I saw your fight with the Golden Jojo. Mighty fine work for your level.”
“Thanks,” Asher answered.
“I heard you killed that Blood Elf for Lyola’s hand,” he added. “What was he? 20 levels higher?”
Asher blushed again. “Like 10. I really tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted.”
“Well the city has been full of rumors about you.” They started walking to the larger crowd. “How long you here this time, Lyton?”
“A few days. I plan to join Tiberion and the other troops,” he admitted.
“Ugly business that,” Krag said. “More than a few dropped out of the Troops. Others passed the position to their heirs and sent them in their place. I doubt many of them will be coming back.”
“Which is good. Father has stayed on planet too long. He has been complacent. It’s good to see him remember we aren’t at the top of the food chain.” They walked in a group. Many others yelled over to Lyton and his team. A few wanted handshakes, others wanted words of advice. Lyton’s response was always to level up more. Asher really did like him, he was straightforward.
“What brings you all to the tournament?” Krag asked. They were behind some large bleacher seats. The audience in the seats yelled and called out now and then. The tournament ring was still blocked to Asher.
“Wanted to see who all was left in the guild,” Lyton admitted. “And of course to test my nephew,” he said looking to Asher with a wicked grin.
—
Asher breathed in and out as he stared at the floor. Completely nude he still couldn’t believe he let them talk him into this, but this is what he signed up for. Sweat trickled down his face. Nervous, he tried to calm himself. Then the platform began to raise him up. The bright white platform moved about an inch a second. Very slowly bringing him up through the hole above him.
Looking up to the lights above he heard the roar of the crowd coming from the circular gap in the ceiling. With a smile he forced a more confident persona on as he slowly raised into the fighting ring. The ring itself was a wide white platform. Roughly 30 feet across, beyond it were tall bleachers filled with people yelling and cheering. Lights overhead prevented him from being able to distinguish the different faces. Atalanta was out there somewhere, hopefully cheering him on.
His opponent caught his eye. It was an orange skinned Friar like the one in Lyton’s group. This one appeared younger, and had fewer cracks on their orange skin. What made Asher happy was that he appeared sexless, so there would be no potential crossing of swords. Since everyone there had passed the Roktai challenge they typically fought in the nude, just like in the Trial.
Asher raised his hands to his face and started circulating mana throughout his body. He cast Identification on his opponent.
Friar
Level 45
“Welcome everyone,” Lyton said loudly as he entered the ring. Asher got the impression he was the defacto Guild Master with the Troops. Everyone seemed to know and respect him. “You all know me.” The crowd cheered loudly. “But you do not know my new nephew. The Lawful Good from the currently Initializing planet.” The crowd cheered again.
“I love you Lawful Good!” Someone yelled from the crowd prompting laughs. Asher did not recognize the voice.
“He has been brave enough to take and pass the Roktai Trial as all of you had. But we all know you aren’t a true Roktai until you step into the ring,” Lyton said. “His opponent, Avel, was selected at random. Let's see who comes out on top.” Lyton stepped down from the ring. From the floor he announced. “Rules are: no skills. Only your own skill with mana and fists.”
Asher and Avel nodded to one another and the fight began. Asher was able to watch one fight before they talked him into it, but now that he was there he was regretting it. The mud-like man slowly moved towards him. His hands at his sides he appeared confident.
Mana in every inch of his body Asher jumped and let his knee connect with his opponent’s head. Avel took it easily and smiled up at Asher while his knee was still in his face. It was like hitting rock. The big man grabbed onto him and threw Asher to the ground. His health dropped by 10 points as his lungs expelled all the air from them.
Avel then began pounding down into him with his fists. A few connected but Asher kicked the big man off of him, throwing him through the air. The Friar struck an invisible screen and fell to the floor on his feet. Since the people wanted to see a fight, there was a barrier to keep fighters inside.
Getting up Asher decided to get really serious. He waited for Avel to come to him again, then the fight began. Asher put his weight into every blow as he struck at the thick heavy arms of Avel. The Friar yelled then started his own attack. Neither blocked or dodged. It was a test of strength and endurance.
Avel got a good blow against Asher’s jaw, Asher punched the man hard in the gut. He was finally reacting to Asher’s blows. They yelled and grunted as they put their weight into it. Neither gave an inch. Focused, Asher tried to find some weakness in the man’s defense but couldn’t. So long with Battle Instincts the only fights he had done with humanoids had been his few duels and his time killing slavers during his Trial.
Slowly he noticed it. A widening of Avel’s stance as he threw a heavy blow. Instinctively Asher ducked underneath the blow and slid smoothly toward him. Asher latched onto the Friar’s back. He snaked one arm under his foe’s armpit and the other by his neck. Squeezing his head and armpit together hard. The Friar struggled as Asher hoped this worked on this species too. Holding his breath Asher squeezed harder. The orange skin turned red in his face as he struggled to breath. He let out a gasp then became boneless.
Asher breathed in heavily then dropped his opponent to the ground. After a few seconds the Friar woke up. He cursed as he looked up at Asher. Extending his hand down the orange skinned man took it with a grunt.
“Very well done,” Lyton said as he stepped up. “Maybe some of the rumors about you are true,” Lyton said with a laugh. “I think you’ve proved yourself well enough Lawful Good. Go enjoy the other fights.” Asher waved, he shook Avel’s hand and stepped off the platform. “Now Avel must prove himself to the next challenger…”
Smiling, Asher willed out a towel and wiped sweat off of himself. Then with a thought he was clothed. A few people stopped and asked to shake his hand. But it didn’t take long for Atalanta to find him.
“Have fun?” She asked shyly from beside some bleachers.
“A little,” he admitted. “Its good to not fight monsters now and then. What about you?”
“Bored,” she said.
“Then let's go on our date,” he said with a smile.
“I thought you forgot,” she said, putting on a wide smile.
“I was hoping this could be our date, but it’s not what I expected.” They walked out hand in hand. A few people wanted to shake his hand, more from his title than his fight. Asher paid them compliments but soon they were taking the platform elevator down. Ash sent Tiff a text and said he would be back later. She didn’t respond.
“What would you like to do?” Asher asked.
“Dinner, I’m starved,” she admitted. It was a little past lunchtime.
“Know anywhere?”
“There's a place I heard about,” she admitted. “Let’s go.”
Soon they were on his Glider, she latched onto his back. Directing him back across town they quietly flowed with the traffic. She directed them down to a certain building. Asher was now able to read the sign on the side that read ‘Entertainment’.
“What's this?” He asked.
“Entertainment, duh,” she said. He rolled his eyes while she laughed. They walked in together. “I thought it was a little weird that they don’t have carnivals and stuff here. I asked one of the servants and she said they are all stuck here. This is the classic date location.”
Stepping in they were met with another large lobby. Asher noticed there were a lot more kids with all kinds of toys in their hands. Some balloon-like things, maybe a yoyo here and there. Curious by what he saw, they took the elevator to the 2nd floor. It was a food court. The sweet smells overtook him. Reminded by the smells, he decided to switch his taste to cotton candy for a while. Using mana he slowly tried to remember the flavor. Mana filling his mouth and using his mind as a guide his saliva soon tasted like cotton candy. He coursed mana through the rest of his body to make sure it stuck.
They walked to a few food stands and picked random things to try. He had some Elantontrin Standard in his ring, and most everything was cheap. Every food was pierced on sticks, so they threw them in their rings and continued walking. Going up the elevator from floor to floor.
As they played something similar to basketball at a stand Asher tried to keep the conversation going. “What’s your fondest memory?”
“Lately or on Earth?” She asked shyly.
“On Earth,” he clarified.
“I had some friends in the orphanage. We would always get into trouble, but once a year we would get to go to the carnival. We did field trips now and then, but I always enjoyed the carnival the most,” she admitted.
“Why didn’t you run away and join it?”
She laughed. “I thought about it. But never got the nerve.”
“If you had, what would have been your dream job?”
“Guess,” she said as they moved to the next game.
“Lion Tamer. No wait, the lady that had the giant snake,” he said.
She shivered, “No way. They freak me out. I would have been the knife thrower. Hands down.”
“Damn, that was my next guess.”
“What about you?” She asked.
“Hmmm, one of the clowns,” he admitted. “Don’t laugh. I went to this circus once, and they did all these crazy acrobatics. Hanging from the ceiling. I was impressed. Made me respect clowns after that.” She laughed as they went to another floor. This one was more of a museum. They paid and walked around. They tried to guess the theme of the paintings.
“What do you think it’s like?” Atalanta asked. “Being able to live thousands of years?”
“We will find out I guess,” he said with a shrug. “But seriously, that sounds boring. How do these people survive? I’d get bored out of my mind if I had to go to 1 job, day in and out for a thousand years.”
“I agree,” she said.
“I’d prefer to dungeon dive. Gain new levels. See new places. This,” he said pointing to a painting of stars in the sky, “is the tip of the iceberg. I mean we have only gone to 2 civilized planets. There’s got to be some amazing stuff out there.”
“Yeah, but why see it? I mean, would a normal life be so bad?”
He thought about it for a little bit. He couldn’t picture it at first. At home with Lyola, Joon, Zora, and Tiff. Their kids playing. Living in some large home with a pool. Friends and family close by. Part of him could picture it. Then another wanted to replace the home with a spaceship. The pool with some lake on a planet they landed on. That sounded a lot more exciting to him.
“Sorry,” she said after his long pause.
“What, why?” He asked. “I was just trying to picture it. Could I go back to my old life? No. Our planet is going through the apocalypse right now. I doubt my old home will be there. Would I want to go back? Kind of, but kind of not. I mean look at this city. These people want for nothing. The planet is perfect. Clean energy, giant buildings. Overpopulation and pollution aren’t a concern anymore. I mean heck, we already own another planet. I can barely wrap my head around that fact. If we can pass these Trials, our people have a chance to become like this,” he said pointing to a window of the city.
She stared with him out the window. He drew her close and rested his arm on her shoulder. Atty’s head leaned into him as they stared for a little while. “I guess I can see that too,” she admitted. “But it’s gonna be hard. And you do know it’s not all on you, right?”
“I guess,” he said. “We are here though, no one else. I think all of us were chosen for a reason.”
“Oh yeah? What’s my reason?” She asked.
“To watch me have sex, duh,” he said. She slapped his groin. Asher doubled over laughing and moaning. “I’m kidding.” She chuckled as she made him stand straight up again. She rested her head back on his shoulder. The pain stopped and he smiled as he pulled her closer. His hand went down to squeeze her ass.
“Nope, I knew I needed a bank robber for this job,” he said walking them away, his hand squeezing her ass cheek. “I mean we have the muscles, Abby, the quiet one, Ming, the bumpkin, Vincent, the business man, Nadir, the shy one, Keera, the goody two shoes, my mom and dad, the looks, me, the flirt, Tiff, and of course Batman. You never have a full team without Batman. I knew I needed a thief to round us all up.”
“How did you get so wise?” She asked.
“Tons of movies. Where else could I learn about the ways of the universe?” She laughed and they went to another floor.
“How are you doing after your Trial?” He asked eventually.
“How do you mean?”
“Lyola said she couldn’t stop crying for about a month. Curious how you’re holding up,” he said.
She sighed. “I’m better than I was, since we started all of this,” she said, pointing between them. “What about you? You had it harder.”
“Ah well, I had Tiff,” he said. “She snapped me out of it pretty quick.”
“How’d she manage that?” She asked, a knowing smile.
“Hired a bunch of hookers and made me sleep with all of them,” he admitted.
Atalanta laughed. “That’d do it,” she said. “I’m…okay I think. Thanks for not pressuring me.”
“Hey, I enjoy my time with you,” he said truthfully. “If you said you just wanted to spar and hang out I’d be fine with it. Sorry that most of my pastimes involve us nude.”
“I’m not complaining,” she admitted. “I can’t say I don’t miss watching TV, but your past times are a lot more fun.” She bit her lip and pressed a button for a certain floor. When they stopped they were met with a very empty floor. Most all the others were filled with people, but this one only had one other person. At a reception desk sat an elf who smiled at them brightly.
“Welcome to Immersion,” she said. “How can I help you?”
“We would like a room,” Atalanta said confidently. He could see her hand shaking though. Curious, Asher looked around but couldn’t see anything that let him know what the place was. The receptionist led them back to a room and unlocked it. There were many doors like the one they entered, he thought he heard singing from one of them.
“Everything is controlled by an AI, so simply say what you want,” the receptionist informed them. “Menu is here, you can order when ready. You have complete privacy. Your bill will be tallied at the end.” With that she bowed and stepped out. Atalanta locked the door as Asher looked around. There were large pillows on the ground, all together they made a U-shape, facing a blank wall.
“Is this a karaoke bar?” Asher asked. Amazement in his voice.
“Kind of,” she admitted as she meekly walked to the center of the room. “A supernova,” she said aloud. The room around them disappeared and they were in the blankness of space. Before them was a large twisting solar system, and in the center was a bright sun. The sun slowly began expanding. It grew exponentially. Asher walked up to Atalanta and grabbed her around the waist as they stared at it growing larger. Then the sun exploded further and enveloped them in the red hot glow.
“A black hole,” she said. The red disappeared and the room was black again. In the distance a circular ring appeared. The ring was orange and was thicker on top, while thinner on bottom. It looked a lot like the scene from Interstellar with the blackhole. “I asked some servants and they said this was an Immersion Room. You can see anything you want here. Well almost anything. A lot of people use them to live dreams and fantasies.”
“And what’s your fantasy?” Asher asked, amazed as he stared at the blank hole in space. She meekly rubbed her head against his chest as she blushed. Asher could guess since he knew her kinks. “Street level of the Roktai Capital,” he announced to the room. They were soon street level. People walked this way and that. He turned and began kissing her.
She melted into his arms as he picked her up. Still clothed, she wrapped her legs around him. In her thick boots, leather trench coat, and white shirt that read ‘wanna fight?’. He couldn’t help but be glad she had opened up to him.
“Or maybe…” he said, turning to the screen in front of him. “A stage, with a huge audience.” They were soon on stage with people staring at them. She groaned as her body shook. “Is this what you like?” He asked, looking into her green eyes.
“Maybe?” She asked. “Just been one of those things at the back of my mind. I don’t have the nerve to do it in front of people, but here I could fulfill my fantasy.”
“You know we’ve already done some stuff in front of a lot of people right?”
She nodded her head hotly. “It turned me on so much to know the whole League saw me blowing you.” She attacked his mouth. Asher wasn’t too interested in people watching, but if she liked it he didn’t mind. He willed his clothes away. She stayed clothed for now. Asher coated her in 40% Pheromones as she grinded on his front. “I want you,” she pleaded as she caught her breath.
“In front of all these people?” He asked, looking at the screen. She turned to look. All eyes were on her. She nodded, a blush on her face. He pulled her over to one of the pillows. It was nice to be able to get rid of clothes with a thought, but he felt she wanted the classic feel. Setting her down on a long cushion he took off her leather boots. Then he helped her out of her coat. Gingerly he pulled her shirt over her head, but left her bra on. Her crotch bucked as he slid his fingers into her leather pants. He kissed her stomach. “Are you sure?”
“I was sure on the island,” she groaned. “Part of me wanted this though,” she said. He nodded and slowly pulled her pants down. She wore a red lace thong and bra. He stared down at her for a little bit watching her breath deeply.
“You’re so beautiful,” he said leaning into her. His naked erection poking her entrance. He felt her become wetter as her chest arched up to meet his thick pecs. They kissed for a long while. Never tiring of one another’s lips. When he felt she was ready he unclasped her bra with great effort. Apparently Tiff’s act of not wearing underwear had made him very rusty. With his strength it was hard not to rip it off of her.
When her breasts were revealed he latched onto the perky nipples. They were C-cups, he knew that now, and fit her perfectly. She groaned in pleasure from his touch and the Pheromones in the air. Hoping to loosen her up a little he moved his fingers into the straps of her lace panties. Pulling them down just a little his right hand snuck inside. Her now hairless sex, it was smooth as he ran his fingers across her skin. When he reached her wet lower lips he slowly explored.
“All of them are watching,” he said, looking at the large faceless crowd. She locked eyes with him and shuttered as she came. Biting her lip, it was a tiny orgasm, but enough for her.
“Please just fuck me,” she moaned. He laughed as he pulled her panties the rest of the way down.
“Smaller, I’m guessing?” He asked. She nodded as she stared at his erect dick.
“For now,” she said. He shrunk it down to 7 inches, it had been a while since he had to do that. But with her being a virgin he didn’t want to risk anything. Lining his dick up with her he coursed mana through his dick and slipped between her pussy lips. She groaned as he entered her. When he came to her maiden head he waited a split second and pushed in.
She grunted with the pain but he used Healing Touch on her abs as he slid in more. She blinked as a few tears left her eyes. When he was all the way inside he waited. Staring down onto her he asked, “I thought you had Invulnerability?”
Atalanta smiled and slapped his side. “Fuck me already you fucking porn star.” He laughed as he drew back. Then he slowly went back in. No apparent pain on her face he stopped casting Healing Touch. Speeding up she slowly started giving out pleasurable moans.
“You’re so tight,” he commented, and she was. He hadn’t done this since Joon. Luckily, he could control when he came.
“You’re so fucking big,” she said through gritted teeth. He noticed her eyes fluttering as he pounded into her. It wasn’t long until she was shaking and digging her nails into his back. “Holy fuck!” She screamed. Her body spasmed as the orgasm coursed through her. Long and hard she didn’t squirt but somehow squeezed him harder. Asher came inside her with the feeling. His cock bottoming out all the way she moaned in his ear as she felt every spurt of his dick.
They breathed in and out heavily. Slowly she began to relax and dropped her hands from digging into him. “Mother of god that was good,” she said. “I thought it would be like, you know. When you do your other magic.”
“Oh I didn’t use much of anything,” he confessed. “I wanted you to have me raw. And yes, oral sex is good, but I don’t think much beats the classic.” She laughed. “So should we keep going?” She blushed but nodded slowly.
“They’re all watching you,” he whispered in her ear. “Let's give them a show.” With that he coated her in Pheromones and began pounding again. She was soon yelling loudly as he did. When he was done with missionary he wrapped an arm around her as they stood. He held her up as he humped into her. When she came again he pulled her off him and flipped her around. Using Cleanliness to clean the blood off of his lower member he slammed into her from the back. “Does this turn you on?” He whispered in her ear as he slammed into her cervix. His dick slowly growing. “When people watch?” She shook as she stared at the fake crowd of people.
“Yes!” She rasped as she began to cum again. He started pounding into her as she did. His Pheromones high, she continued to cum hard. Doing all the work he pushed her away and pulled her back to slam on his pelvis. When he was finally ready he pounded into her hard as he came inside all the way. Groaning in her ear she squeaked as his dick pulsed with each spurt of his cum. When he was done he breathed heavily.
He pulled Atalanta’s face to his and started kissing her ready for round 3, but she was already lost. Her eyes distant, he chuckled as he set her down on a pillow. Pulling up the menu he wondered what he should order for food before she woke up and they started again.
