“You are here for a week,” Lyola said. “I will not be leaving your side.”
“Good,” he said, kissing her again. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He guessed that was the right answer since she snuggled into him. Tillie on his back she was rubbing his shoulders again.
“You two are so gay for each other,” Tiff said, rolling her eyes. “Atty baby, give mama some sugar.” She pulled Atty over and began kissing her neck. “Lets go do some more clone fun,” she whispered hoarsely. Atty shivered, a smile on her lips.
“Till, babe, you’re rubbing me again,” he said. “I love it, but you’re pregnant. You must be pampered.
“I like to feel your muscles,” she whispered.
“I have a System granted Massage skill of LVL 13. Are you sure you don’t want to try it?” He asked. Leaning back he raised his eyebrows suggestively.
“How did you get that?” She asked.
“A Roleplay, and a skill upgrade,” he admitted. Puckering his lips he pulled her down for a kiss.
“You wasted a skill upgrade on that?” Lyola asked.
“I didn’t have a choice,” he said. Till began to move around and laid on his naked front. He began kneading her muscles and she quickly began groaning and relaxing. “It was a random skill upgrade.”
“You Champions get interesting quest rewards,” she said, nibbling on his ear.
“What kind of quest rewards are normal?” He asked moving his head quickly to intercept her lips.
“Oh 10-80 Syscos,” Lyola said. She began kissing him hard as Tillie fell asleep under his massage.
“Jeez,” Asher said. “Heck the System gave me a thousand just for accepting my System.”
“What!?” Lyola said. “Why do I let myself be surprised with you?”
“Don’t bother,” Tiff said. A clone of Atty on each arm she used mana on her hand as she grabbed their ass cheeks. “He’s the System’s golden boy.”
“I am beginning to agree,” she said. “We should make a baby, husband.”
“We did,” he said.
“I know, but you make me want another,” she pouted.
“There is one in Tillie. Show her how much you like that fact,” he said, giving her his best mischievous look. She nodded and straddled the asleep woman. Slowly kissing down her body Tillie didn’t move until she was at her abs. Lyola slowly parted her legs and began licking her pussy. All of them had his cum in them, but luckily they enjoyed the taste. As Tillie gasped Asher began to rub her shoulders again. Using Casanova on his fingertips he rubbed her temples she was soon cumming again. Her body shook and lower half bucked from the continued stimulation. Lyola kissed her between the thighs one last time and moved up to lay on her chest.
They both let out a long sigh hugging one another. “I am happy,” Tillie said.
“As am I,” Lyola said, giving her a kiss then laying her head back down. “I thought it would be you and I forever,” she said. “Or maybe I hoped. I did not want to have to marry. I pictured our relationship a secret and a sexless marriage.” Lyola admitted. She let out a long sigh. “Now look at us. Pregnant and acting like some Dions.”
“What’s a Dion?” Asher asked. He moved his hands to her shoulders and began massaging.
She groaned happily so Tillie answered. “A species in the League. They are rare, but known to be very promiscuous.”
“Sounds hot, what do they look like?” Tiff asked.
“Blue skin, and a lot of tattoos,” Tillie said.
“Blue skin?” Asher asked. “Tall?”
“Maybe?” Tillie said, rubbing her hands on Lyola’s back. “Why?”
“I think I met one. That treasure hunter in prison,” he said.
“You mean space time-out?” Tiff corrected between kissing one of the clones.
“Whatever. She said she might have some Roleplay ideas. I told her to get in touch with you around when our planet joins the League.” He poked Lyola but she was asleep. Asher sighed and began rubbing Tillie again. His Ahegao, Casanova, and Massage skill soon had her asleep on him as well.

“Do we have to leave?” Tiff pouted.
“Only for a bit,” Asher promised. “I’m excited to see our ship. Besides, don’t you need ideas for decorating our room?”
“Oh right!” she said excitedly. “We are going to need about 4 beds pushed together. Then a sex swing, and some shackles, and a cabinet just for toys, and costumes, maybe some huge pillows cus they’ve kinda grown on me, and-“
“Whatever you want,” he said. “We also need to decorate the other rooms too.” Asher thought back to the Helion. He would try to get in touch with Kytor about items later.
“Let’s ask the others if they want to check it out,” he said. Soon they were calling people on Comms. Only Keera, Tosh, and Abby were interested. His parents didn’t answer, and neither had Batman.
Tosh again acted like their guide. He pretended to know Tartarin like the back of his hand, but there were a few times he took a wrong turn. They were soon waiting on the Branch Manager for the Majoris guild again. Hanging around in the large office as they chatted. This time they didn’t have to wait near as long as Mobry and Cashorn stepped in and told them to follow. They again headed to the portal that took them to the Majoris Headquarters.
Asher had a minor bout of vertigo as he stepped out. The vastness of space was in full view of the wide open ship/planet.
“There she is,” Mobry said pointing up. The large Acean reminded Asher of a whale. With his webbed fingers and thick jowls he also spoke in a low voice.
Asher looked up, and there it was. The 250 foot long ship looked sleeker and shinier than he remembered. It resembled a shuttlecock, but he also thought it now resembled a shooting star. With the point turning into spikes he thought it looked much better than all the other ships above their heads.
“Why are the feet flat?” Asher asked.
Cashorn answered. “They are what will land on a planet. Usually sinking into soil. They are the most likely part to be damaged, so they are easily replaced. We will add the tips later, and give you some spares.”
“We can jump up there. Stay out of the way of anyone,” Mobry offered.
“How do we get down?” Asher asked, hesitant.
“Put these on when you want to come down. They put 0.05 gravity on you. With your levels terminal velocity at that gravity isn’t a problem.” He handed them all necklaces. The group stowed them away.
Without hesitation Tiff jumped up into the zero gravity. “Yahoo!” She yelled, going straight for the ship.
Asher cursed and followed. As he passed the 1 foot of gravity he felt the weightlessness as his insides were no longer pulled down. His stomach turning a little he stopped himself from puking and followed Tiff. She of course turned in the air, taking to zero g like she had been doing it all her life. The darkness of space behind her he needed to focus on the pink/blue haired beauty.
It didn’t take them long to reach the large ship. Asher and Tiff grabbed on. Others latched on where they could to one of the legs. Mobry and Cashorn had taken off their shoes. Their webbed feet latched onto the metal easily.
“Elevator is this leg,” Mobry said pointing. “You can tell because it is circular, where the other legs are more elliptical.” Asher noticed that he was right. All the other legs had sharper edges. The elevator leg was rounded all the way. Mobry walked to it, easily sticking to the metal. Asher and the others struggled but made it to the hole for the elevator platform. They finagled their way inside and glided in.
“The inside was completed first because of the spatial enchants. We worked our way outward,” Mobry explained. A light appeared in his hand illuminating their way through the long tube. “All that’s left are the finer details. Ether Drive is done, and you're next on the list for a Majoris Drive.”
“When will it all be completed?” Tosh asked.
“A month. We were able to focus on it, and there were more than a few people willing to work on something new. You can only make so many of the same ship before you get bored.”
“So we can take it for a spin in a month?” Tiff asked as they floated into the center area. There were more than a few people working on pipes and walls. Despite asking for a rectangular finish they still had smooth corners in the hallways which was fine in Asher’s book.
“If you want, but we still need to get it to you,” Mobry said.
“What? But it’s-“
“At the Majoris headquarters, where we are right now.” Mobry cut in. “There is a portal for ships, and yours is already on the schedule for a month from now. We are a bunch of Sectors over, but we should be able to get it to Elantontrin or Tartarin in another month's time.”
“So 2 months,” Asher said. Mobry nodded. “Sounds good to me. Do you have someone deliver it?”
“Yes, we don’t release anything before it’s been tested and retested. Think of the delivery time as a trial period. You don’t want a ship that could be faulty.”
Asher agreed. He could tell Tiff was a little sad that it would be at least 2 months until they could go home. He thought real hard picturing her giant chest bouncing in zero gravity. She started smiling as her breasts ballooned out. Tiff and more than one person watched as they bounced this way and that. Untethered and glorious he didn’t blame people ogling her.
After a long 30 seconds Asher forced himself to look away. “What about the captain's quarters?” He knew that would cheer her up.
They moved down the halls and were brought to a large room. It was as big as they hoped. Mobry said he would get them drawings with exact measurements so they could plan furniture and the like.
“How about the training room?” Abby asked.
“Mana Drive isn’t fully online yet, so we have no power to try out the enchants,” he admitted. Abby looked sad. They were soon left to their own devices. Jumping around they explored and tried to stay out of people's ways. It wasn’t long until they were kicked out when Tiff talked more than a few into playing tag.
All in all it was good to see the ship take shape. Mobry cleared up a few aesthetic things they wanted like exterior and interior finish. They decided on sticking with a black metallic finish. Like the Helion but shinier.
“Last, is the most important thing. What do you want to name the ship and AI?”
“I’ve been thinking on that,” Asher said when no one offered anything. “I was leaning towards Starburst.”
—-
“You’re not allowed to name anything anymore,” Tiff said. They had left the Majoris guild on Tartarin. They decided to hit the Guild Processing Hall to get rid of some monster corpses.
“What? I didn’t hear any better suggestions,” Asher said. “I kind of thought it looked like a shooting star.”
“Bleh,” she said.
“Hey, I’m the captain. And if I hear any other good suggestions we can change it,” he said. He was a little offended. He thought it was a good name. Anything with star in it usually was. The Death Star, the Outlaw Star, the Porn Star.
Tiff grumbled but left it. “I like it,” Keera said.
“Get some good shots?” Asher asked.
“I did,” she admitted.
“What kind of movies are you making anyway?”
“Everything,” she admitted. “I have a 3 hour training arc with Isyant. That should help people understand mana a little better. Then a movie of each of our trials. Episodes with Tyranis and Tosh explaining things. Most of those I hope to dub their voices over cool stuff like seeing the ship or something.”
“You should check out Immersion. Get some good shots of what's out there,” he said.
“We did that yesterday,” Keera said. “I got a lot of cool stuff.” She and Tosh were close together as they walked. Neither blushed as they admitted going on a date.
“Need to make a real movie,” Tiff said. “We can have action and sex. I’m sure people would pay to see it.”
“I’ve tried, but there’s too much going on,” Keera admitted. “There’s no good finale.”
“We still have 1 trial to go. Who knows, maybe you’ll get it,” he said.
They stepped into the Processing Hall. It was as busy as usual. Asher and his group walked in. He caught Vidoria’s eye and she waved them over. Asher smiled as Tiff sent him a quick imagery of them doing the buxom Bofin. They had to get them in quick before the Bofin read their minds.
Asher was caught off guard as he heard a laugh and smelled lavender. Stopping in his tracks he locked eyes with Eliffy at one of the many tables. She stopped herself mid-laugh and her face changed to anger.
“I’ve been waiting here for weeks you dick,” she spat getting up from her seat. A large dragon man was next to her. He gave Asher an angry stare as his supposed date ignored him.
“Ely, babe, you were supposed to wait a few years before searching for me,” he said. The tall cyan skinned woman stared at him only getting angrier. The side of her head was still shaved, and the other side had her brown/gray hair in a mess of braids. Asher used Identification.
Dion
Level ???
“I got lucky and portal jumped to Tartarin,” she said simply.
“I’m a little busy now, how about we catch up another time?” he offered.
“Fine, but I want my money,” she said confidently.
“Deal, Syscos or Medals?” He asked.
“You have it?” She asked surprised.
“I do,” he said with a confident smile. She bit her lip. He rolled his eyes. “What?” He asked.
“Hey!” The dragonkin yelled as he got up. “That’s my date, get your own.”
Asher eyed the dragonkin up. He was 7 feet tall with a long neck. Scales covered his body and his face was more dragon than man. “Fuck off, Eragon,” Asher said.
The room quieted with his words. He cast Identification and noticed the man was level 65. He didn’t think that was too high. The dragon got up and walked toward him. Asher prepared to don his armor.
“Be careful,” Eliffy warned. “He’s the Lawful Good. The System said you can’t touch him till his Trials are over.” This stopped the dragon in his tracks. He eyed Asher up and appeared to recognize him. “We had fun, but I’ve got business with the Lawful Good.” She took Asher’s arm and walked them to the Guild counter. The dragonkin stayed where he was.
“What do you want?” He asked, annoyed. “I don’t like playing games. I’ll give you your Syscos and you can be on your way. I don’t have time for any drama. I told you, I’ll be free in a few years.”
“Don’t be like that. You stole something from me, I’d like your help to steal something back,” she said. Asher rolled his eyes.
“Lawful Good,” Vidoria said as they stepped up to the counter. “I see it’s always fun when you’re around.”
Asher broke his arm away from Eliffy. “Work it out with Tiff and Lyola,” he said, pointing to his wives. “They make the big decisions.”
Eliffy looked back to them, noticing the girls for the first time. Asher couldn’t tell if their stares were angry or turned on. Maybe a little of both. He would have to dig into what Dion’s were known for later. The group headed down to Leyrin’s shop. Tiff, Lyola, and Eliffy whispering.
Leyton was pleased to see him. Asher emptied his ring of monster parts again and the small gnome dove in. “Is there a taxidermist around?” Asher asked.
“A what?” Leyrin asked, drawn away from a dragon arm.
“Someone to make this thing into a trophy to hang on my wall,” Asher said pointing at the dragon’s severed head.
“Ohh yes. I have a Tempusmancer I work with. He can fix issues, and put some time enchants on it,” the small gnome said.
“I like the scratches. Mind handling it? I can pick it up after my next trial,” he said.
“Sure. Gonna have to reduce your reward by 50 Syscos to pay him though.”
Flush with cash Asher was fine with it. He had never seen a real dragon before. There were many wyverns, wyrms, and drakes, but dragons were rare. In the end he got 4,500 Syscos. The others made a nice profit as well. The monsters were higher level than the last Trial and had rarer parts since they all had some sort of mana affinity.
By the time they were done the others left, and Asher was left drinking at a table with his girls.
“Speak,” Tiff said.
“We did,” Eliffy said.
“The truth,” she demanded.
“Damn psychics,” Eliffy whispered under her breath. “I need something. Something that I’m guessing only you can get me.”
“What is it?” Asher asked.
“Do you really need to know?” She asked.
“The more information I have. The better,” Asher admitted.
“Fine. So you know I’m a Dion. We are rare in this sector, or well most sectors really. We stick to our own, but I like to travel,” she admitted. “Try new things. Most Dions are happy staying at home. We have this leader. King Sustutna. Been around for 10s of thousands of years. He has this treasure room. Once a long time ago I pissed him off and he took something that belonged to me,” she said. “I want it back.”
“What was it?” Asher asked.
“Do you really need to know?” She asked.
“Kind of. Besides, I owe you 30,000 Syscos. You make it sound like this thing is worth a lot more than that,” he said.
“It’s mostly sentimental value,” she said. He didn’t sense much of a lie. But as someone who wasn’t good at lying he would leave it up to the psychic.. “Look, I know exactly where it is. We do whatever it is you do, then it comes to us. If there is anything else there you can have it. I just want it back.”
Asher looked to Lyola. “Do you know this Sustutna?”
“No,” Lyola said. “I’ve never met a Dion before either.”
“Could it get back to this guy that we took his stuff?” Asher asked.
“As long as you don’t leave a note. And it’s as untraceable as you said,” Eliffy answered. Tiff blushed from the comment.
Asher thought for a little bit. He did think she was hot which was playing into his decision. Oddly he couldn’t tell which Mana she used. There was almost a golden glow to it around her. She might actually be some other type of element he didn’t know of.
“A vote it is,” Asher said. “All for helping?” Most everyone raised their hand. Atty, Lyola, Tillie, and Tiff. Eliffy too voted, which didn’t help sway him. Slowly he raised his hand as he grumbled.
“Ok, so what do we need to do?” Eliffy said.
“Have sex,” Tiff said with a wide smile on. “And I know just the scenario for this sort of thing.”
Asher knew what was coming. “Not another Hallmark movie,” he said sadly.
“Oh you’ll like this one. There’s a twist,” she promised him.
“You are here for a week,” Lyola said. “I will not be leaving your side.”
“Good,” he said, kissing her again. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He guessed that was the right answer since she snuggled into him. Tillie on his back she was rubbing his shoulders again.
“You two are so gay for each other,” Tiff said, rolling her eyes. “Atty baby, give mama some sugar.” She pulled Atty over and began kissing her neck. “Lets go do some more clone fun,” she whispered hoarsely. Atty shivered, a smile on her lips.
“Till, babe, you’re rubbing me again,” he said. “I love it, but you’re pregnant. You must be pampered.
“I like to feel your muscles,” she whispered.
“I have a System granted Massage skill of LVL 13. Are you sure you don’t want to try it?” He asked. Leaning back he raised his eyebrows suggestively.
“How did you get that?” She asked.
“A Roleplay, and a skill upgrade,” he admitted. Puckering his lips he pulled her down for a kiss.
“You wasted a skill upgrade on that?” Lyola asked.
“I didn’t have a choice,” he said. Till began to move around and laid on his naked front. He began kneading her muscles and she quickly began groaning and relaxing. “It was a random skill upgrade.”
“You Champions get interesting quest rewards,” she said, nibbling on his ear.
“What kind of quest rewards are normal?” He asked moving his head quickly to intercept her lips.
“Oh 10-80 Syscos,” Lyola said. She began kissing him hard as Tillie fell asleep under his massage.
“Jeez,” Asher said. “Heck the System gave me a thousand just for accepting my System.”
“What!?” Lyola said. “Why do I let myself be surprised with you?”
“Don’t bother,” Tiff said. A clone of Atty on each arm she used mana on her hand as she grabbed their ass cheeks. “He’s the System’s golden boy.”
“I am beginning to agree,” she said. “We should make a baby, husband.”
“We did,” he said.
“I know, but you make me want another,” she pouted.
“There is one in Tillie. Show her how much you like that fact,” he said, giving her his best mischievous look. She nodded and straddled the asleep woman. Slowly kissing down her body Tillie didn’t move until she was at her abs. Lyola slowly parted her legs and began licking her pussy.

“What’s a Dion?” Asher asked. He moved his hands to her shoulders and began massaging.
She groaned happily so Tillie answered. “A species in the League. They are rare, but known to be very promiscuous.”
“Sounds hot, what do they look like?” Tiff asked.
“Blue skin, and a lot of tattoos,” Tillie said.
“Blue skin?” Asher asked. “Tall?”
“Maybe?” Tillie said, rubbing her hands on Lyola’s back. “Why?”
“I think I met one. That treasure hunter in prison,” he said.
“You mean space time-out?” Tiff corrected between kissing one of the clones.
“Whatever. She said she might have some Roleplay ideas. I told her to get in touch with you around when our planet joins the League.” He poked Lyola but she was asleep. Asher sighed and began rubbing Tillie again. His Ahegao, Casanova, and Massage skill soon had her asleep on him as well.

“Only for a bit,” Asher promised. “I’m excited to see our ship. Besides, don’t you need ideas for decorating our room?”

Asher eyed the dragonkin up. He was 7 feet tall with a long neck. Scales covered his body and his face was more dragon than man. “Fuck off, Eragon,” Asher said.
The room quieted with his words. He cast Identification and noticed the man was level 65. He didn’t think that was too high. The dragon got up and walked toward him. Asher prepared to don his armor.
“Be careful,” Eliffy warned. “He’s the Lawful Good. The System said you can’t touch him till his Trials are over.” This stopped the dragon in his tracks. He eyed Asher up and appeared to recognize him. “We had fun, but I’ve got business with the Lawful Good.” She took Asher’s arm and walked them to the Guild counter. The dragonkin stayed where he was.
“What do you want?” He asked, annoyed. “I don’t like playing games. I’ll give you your Syscos and you can be on your way. I don’t have time for any drama. I told you, I’ll be free in a few years.”
“Don’t be like that. You stole something from me, I’d like your help to steal something back,” she said. Asher rolled his eyes.
“Lawful Good,” Vidoria said as they stepped up to the counter. “I see it’s always fun when you’re around.”
Asher broke his arm away from Eliffy. “Work it out with Tiff and Lyola,” he said, pointing to his wives. “They make the big decisions.”
Eliffy looked back to them, noticing the girls for the first time. Asher couldn’t tell if their stares were angry or turned on. Maybe a little of both. He would have to dig into what Dion’s were known for later. The group headed down to Leyrin’s shop. Tiff, Lyola, and Eliffy whispering.
Leyton was pleased to see him. Asher emptied his ring of monster parts again and the small gnome dove in. “Is there a taxidermist around?” Asher asked.
“A what?” Leyrin asked, drawn away from a dragon arm.
“Someone to make this thing into a trophy to hang on my wall,” Asher said pointing at the dragon’s severed head.
“Ohh yes. I have a Tempusmancer I work with. He can fix issues, and put some time enchants on it,” the small gnome said.
“I like the scratches. Mind handling it? I can pick it up after my next trial,” he said.
“Sure. Gonna have to reduce your reward by 50 Syscos to pay him though.”
Flush with cash Asher was fine with it. He had never seen a real dragon before. There were many wyverns, wyrms, and drakes, but dragons were rare. In the end he got 4,500 Syscos. The others made a nice profit as well. The monsters were higher level than the last Trial and had rarer parts since they all had some sort of mana affinity.
By the time they were done the others left, and Asher was left drinking at a table with his girls.
“Speak,” Tiff said.
“We did,” Eliffy said.
“The truth,” she demanded.
“Damn psychics,” Eliffy whispered under her breath. “I need something. Something that I’m guessing only you can get me.”
“What is it?” Asher asked.
“Do you really need to know?” She asked.
“The more information I have. The better,” Asher admitted.
“Fine. So you know I’m a Dion. We are rare in this sector, or well most sectors really. We stick to our own, but I like to travel,” she admitted. “Try new things. Most Dions are happy staying at home. We have this leader. King Sustutna. Been around for 10s of thousands of years. He has this treasure room. Once a long time ago I pissed him off and he took something that belonged to me,” she said. “I want it back.”
“What was it?” Asher asked.
“Do you really need to know?” She asked.
“Kind of. Besides, I owe you 30,000 Syscos. You make it sound like this thing is worth a lot more than that,” he said.
“It’s mostly sentimental value,” she said. He didn’t sense much of a lie. But as someone who wasn’t good at lying he would leave it up to the psychic.. “Look, I know exactly where it is. We do whatever it is you do, then it comes to us. If there is anything else there you can have it. I just want it back.”
Asher looked to Lyola. “Do you know this Sustutna?”
“No,” Lyola said. “I’ve never met a Dion before either.”
“Could it get back to this guy that we took his stuff?” Asher asked.
“As long as you don’t leave a note. And it’s as untraceable as you said,” Eliffy answered. Tiff blushed from the comment.
Asher thought for a little bit. He did think she was hot which was playing into his decision. Oddly he couldn’t tell which Mana she used. There was almost a golden glow to it around her. She might actually be some other type of element he didn’t know of.
“A vote it is,” Asher said. “All for helping?” Most everyone raised their hand. Atty, Lyola, Tillie, and Tiff. Eliffy too voted, which didn’t help sway him. Slowly he raised his hand as he grumbled.
“Ok, so what do we need to do?” Eliffy said.
“Have sex,” Tiff said with a wide smile on. “And I know just the scenario for this sort of thing.”
Asher knew what was coming. “Not another Hallmark movie,” he said sadly.
“Oh you’ll like this one. There’s a twist,” she promised him.
