Asher and the girls said their goodbyes to Nadir and his wives. It had been fun to make other couple friends, and Ash was able to learn a little more of what was out there. With the ending of the cruise they headed to the airport to say their own goodbyes.
“Love you,” Asher whispered in Zora’s ear.
“Love you too,” she said.
“No me,” Tiff said on her other side. “Have fun with your family. We will see you in a week in Paris,” she said.
“We are going to Paris?” Asher asked. “How original.”
“Oh no. Zora and I are. You can just head back home if you’re going to be like that,” Tiff retorted.
“I apologize profusely for my actions,” Asher said bowing.
“Now get going or you’ll miss your flight,” Tiff said, shooing her away, but she snaked in for another kiss. The 3 of them hugged and sadly separated. Ash and Tiff watched her go. With her new necklace she was able to store her luggage, and that was about it. It was hard to see her retreating form, but hopefully when they got back together they would have a lot more time together.
“So wanna do a quickie?” Tiff asked as they walked to their own gate.
“You still haven’t told me our next destination,” he said, side eyeing her.
“Tokyo of course. I want to do some cosplay,” she said happily.
“Japan? That’s like halfway around the world.”
“This is my vacation, and I have spoken. Besides, maybe we can finally join the mile high club,” she said, walking ahead and shaking her ass.
—-
They did join the mile high club. Flying 1st class across the US then the ocean, they had plenty of opportunities. Japan had been fun the first couple of days. Tiffany was able to get her fill of cosplay outfits. Her necklace was now filled with them. He was excited to see them on her at some point in the future. They had brainstormed more than a few ideas for Roleplays.
Too bad for them Japan wasn’t what they had hoped for. They had missed a huge Anime Convention event by only a few days. After spending a full day at a love motel, engorging themselves on sushi and ramen, and seeing most everything Tokyo had to offer from the quick internet search she did; Tiffany finally accepted she may have romanticized the place. There was still plenty to do, but with money in their pockets, and unsure when they could do this again, on a whim she said, “Let’s go to Korea.”
“North or South?” He asked.
“Which is the one lower down? I’m guessing South right?” She asked. “Yeah South, probably.”
So she canceled their reservations and soon they were flying to Busan, South Korea. Ash was a big fan of their movies, and manhwa, so he was all for it. The flight had been much shorter than all of their others. They already had their next day all planned out as they stepped off the plane. When they did, the new window popped up in Ash’s view.

“Fuck,” Asher said as he read it.
–
“Are you sure this is the place?” Asher asked as they walked up to the office building.
“That’s what my dad said,” Tiff answered next to him.
The area around them was dark and quiet. Nearly 10 at night they didn’t have the chance to get a hotel. Tiff had been on the phone with her dad, Asher had called Nadir. Eventually Wayne had called giving them the address of the local System Group.
No one was outside of the office building. There were some lights on, but they were in the basement. The front door unlocked, the couple walked hand in hand inside. Unsure where to go they simply descended down to where lights were on. The office building was clean. Everything was shiny and well maintained. As they came to the bottom of the stairs there was a door and they started to hear voices on the other side.
Asher knocked. When nothing happened he knocked again. Eventually the door was opened roughly. On the other side was an Asian woman with long dark hair. She was young like them, her skin was a little tan but smooth. She wore a black leather jacket, blue tank top, and black leather pants. The clothes were tight on her large D-Cup breasts and toned abs. She looked at them for a while and her eyes widened slowly.
She stammered as she spoke. “You-what-what are you two doing here?” She began to blush staring at the American couple. Then she apparently caught herself and said, “You need to leave.”
“We got a mandatory quest,” Asher said, pushing past her. “We are System Users. Wanted to see how we could help.”
“Joon, who is it?” A man at the other end of the room asked in English. He stood on a podium much like Wayne’s. In front of him was an assortment of men and women in various clothes, from everyday street clothes to shiny metal armor.
“Umm no one,” Joon said nervously.
“I’m Asher Whitmore. We just flew in and I received this mandatory quest,” he said. “This is Tiffany Tyler.”
“Ah yes. I was told you would be joining us. Come in, we were just starting,” the man said. Asher and Tiffany slowly sat at some chairs in the back of the big group. The woman who had tried to stop them sat a few chairs away leering at them angrily.
The man at the front began speaking in Korean. At least Asher assumed it was Korean. The girl near them soon scooted over and began translating for the couple. “For those that just joined I am Jin Chi. From the information I have received, a dungeon break has never happened before. Currently people are flying in from around the world to study it. In the meantime, all of us over level 15 in a 100 mile radius have received this mandatory red quest. We don’t know how mandatory is different from a regular Red quest, but we are assuming we have all been drafted.”
He then moved to a board behind him and put up some large printed out posters. Joon continued to translate. “We located the dungeon last week and were already prepping a delve when the quest came 2 days ago.” There was a large photo of a darkened cliff face in the picture. At first he assumed it was a shadow, but he could vaguely make out the discoloration of the portal swirling. “A local Dungeoneer was able to discern this is a raid only dungeon, and it is level 20.” There were a few gasps around. “Yes, it is one of the highest levels that has ever been found. So monsters inside should range from level 15 to 25.”
At that point Asher put on his sunglasses. Looking around the room the levels ranged from 15-20, the girl beside them was surprisingly the strongest at level 20. The man speaking was level 19.
“We have 4 Gamers that have already agreed to go. This will be a 40 man raid. The plan is to leave tomorrow morning. This will be volunteer only. All of you have heard the importance of red quests, so this is a rare opportunity for all of us.” Ash was surprised at the similarity between this man’s speech and Wayne’s. It sure focused on the carrot, and not so much on the stick.
“Has anyone here completed a Red Quest?” A voice from the crowd asked. Joon again translated.
When no one raised their hands Asher and Tiffany did reluctantly. All eyes turned to them. “Would you mind sharing what the rewards were?” The stranger asked through Joon.
Something told Asher not to answer. He looked to Tiffany who shrugged. “I received 200 Syscos, 2,000 XP, and a skill upgrade.” Joon translated for all.
Asher couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Why were his rewards so much more? He had received 10,000 experience, 1,000 Syscos, and a spatial ring. Did he contribute that much more? Or was there another reason?
Tiffany added, “that was for a lone System User too. I would think you’d get more for something like this.” There were a few nods and smiles. Asher guessed that was worth it for a lot of people. Maybe his System was broken.
The man from the podium began to speak, “we will now be signing up for those willing. Please list your level, role in raid, and number we can reach you at. We will let you know by midnight.”
People started getting up. Ash looked to Tiffany. “What do you think?”
“I think it’s our vacation….but I also know you. You want to do it, don’t you?” She asked. Though she was shorter than him she was still able to look down on him at that point.
“You’re right. It’s our vacation. I can catch the next one.”
“You know, a few days ago I would have agreed with you. But in Cozumel you fought that guy for the fun of it. I think you like it. So since this is our vacation, not only mine, I will forgive you if you go.”
“I feel like this is a trap,” he said. “Thus I will decline.”
“Hey,” she said, getting his attention. “I love you and I know you better than you think. I know you would be worrying about this the whole time. As your girlfriend I want you to help. If you didn’t you wouldn’t be the man I love.”
“Well you’ve got me there. Maybe I won’t be picked. My conscience would feel a lot better if I tried.” Getting up he was surprised to see Joon still next to them.
The couple stared at her for a time. “You want to say something?” He asked, she looked like it.
She blushed and bit her lip. “You shouldn’t go,” she said and got up to walk away.
“Did you sleep with her and forget to call?” Tiffany asked.
“No. I don’t know why she doesn’t like me.”
“Well you should sleep with her. She’s hot. She’d prolly forgive you then,” Tiffany said watching the lady go in her leather pants.
“You seduce this one. You 2 have been running me ragged.”
“Us? I’m still bowlegged,” she said as they walked to the sign in sheets.
An hour later they were at an all night ramen place. Someone had been nice enough to suggest one and a fancy place to stay for the night. Asher and Tiff comfortably sat together as they munched on their food.
“You look good naked,” he announced to her.
“I know,” she said between bites.
“No, like really good. We should make a porno,” he said.
“We already did.”
After thinking about it. “Crap we did. Anything ever come from that?”
“Amber said she never heard anything about it. Haven’t talked to her much since.”
More time spent eating they idly chatted. “What are your dreams?” He asked. A ramen shop was the perfect place to have deep conversations in the middle of the night.
“You know. I really don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it. I can’t tell you the answer. I like working with the guild. I kind of like school. You?”
“I like the guild. And doing dungeons. And how we make money. But I love you. So I know you’ll be in there somewhere.”
She looked at him for a little bit, finishing the food in her mouth. Then laughed and pushed him away. “You girl.”
He smiled big. Then he looked at something behind her. Surprise on his face. Tiffany turned but there was nothing there. Turning back she saw Asher on his knee staring up at her. A ring in hand.
“I wasn’t going to do this now. I was going to wait until we were back together. I know this isn’t the best time or place. But I really can’t wait any more. Tiffany Tyler. Would you marry me?” He asked. More nervous than ever before in his life. The seconds felt like minutes as she slowly understood what he was saying.
“You know we’ve only known each other for like 3 months right?” She asked in a deadpan voice.
“Don’t care. I blame it on my upbringing. A part of me still feels guilty being with someone without marriage.”
“What about Zora?”
“I’ll marry her too. I don’t care. I know what I want. And if you say no now I’ll just keep asking,” he said seriously. His nervous gut stopped clenching. He was confident that if it wasn’t now she would say yes eventually. “You’re mine Tiffany and I’m yours. It’s inevitable.”
With that she finally started to cry. Hot tears fell down her face. She nodded her head up and down frantically. “Then yes I’ll marry you,” she got out.
Then they were kissing. Asher had never needed her as much before. They somehow made it back to the hotel. There was a cab in there at some point, but they threw money at the guy and he left them alone.
When they made it back to the room he picked her up by her ass, pushed her into the wall and entered her. She never really bothered with panties anymore. They messed up with the quickies.
She moaned in his mouth as he slammed into her. His pheromones and libido were already high. After 2 quick thrusts she came. Her legs shook where they were clamped at his back. Another couple of thrusts and he joined her. He shoved in as far as he could go and held her there.
“I love you so much,” he rasped.
“Ditto,” she said as she started grinding up and down on him. He let her do the work. She was only able to go up and down an inch, but it still felt amazing.
His legs holding her up he began undoing her top. Button by button opened until her ever growing breasts poured out. His face dove into the valley as he began fucking her hard again. Long deep thrusts filled her as he caressed every inch of her.
His hands went to her tits. The massive melons were more than a handful. Tiff squeezed him hard. Everything felt so amazing. The feel of her nipples, her tight cunt, even her face was angelic as she locked eyes with him.
“This is yours. Forever. From now on you have to fill me up with your giant dick. These tits were made for you to grope. My tight pussy,” she groaned making it tighter somehow, “is yours. Just fill me up everyday with your hot cum and I’m yours.” She then closed her eyes as he groaned. Shooting into her with all he had she squirted on his abs hard. Her legs had to let go of him to stretch as they spasmed.
He picked her up as her orgasm didn’t end and moved her to the bed. Starting to pound into her again the room was filled with their moans for the rest of the night.
—
“Not surprised,” she said. Laying on his chest they looked at his texts. The raid had called him in.
“No, but still disappointing.”
“You don’t have to go,” she said.
“I know. But I feel like I do. Sorry to make a death flag like this and go off to fight,” he said holding her left hand. It had the ring he had given her on it. The band was rose gold and the diamond was blue. “I was at Anthony’s office a couple of weeks ago when I saw this ring. It said it would make a barrier to protect anyone if they dropped to 1HP. I bought it for you. But when I did I noticed how much it looked like an engagement ring. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And every day I was more sure I had to ask you.”
She snuggled into him more. Raising her hand a white light appeared in the palm. “I bought this for you. It’s supposed to give you 10HP if you ever need it. I uh was going to propose too. But I kept talking myself out of it,” she said. It was a copper colored ring. “Thought I was overthinking our relationship.”
“Really?” He asked.
“Really really. Guess we idiots think alike.”
“Guess so. I uh. Asked your dads permission before we left. He didn’t seem to think you’d say yes,” he admitted.
“What can I say? When you know. You know.”
“I know.” She snuggled in closer. He thought for some time. “What about our original agreement?” He asked.
“Which one?”
“The one where I don’t cheat and you get all the girls,” he said.
“So you want me to stop bringing in girls?” She asked.
“You bring in girls?” He asked surprised. “I reeled in the last two.”
“You warmed them up,” she said. “I sealed the deal.”
He laughed, “you got me there. I’m not the best at the home stretch. What I’m asking is are we going to keep doing this? Sleeping with random women for XP? I don’t know what you said to Zora, but she hasn’t mentioned it once.”
“Zora is a special case,” Tiff admitted. “I really feel something for her. Something between the 3 of us. She’s been through a lot, and I think she might just be going with the flow. I mean you did save her life twice, kind of hard to disappoint someone that does that. While you’re doing your raid, I’ll talk with her and find out what she really wants. In the meantime, I want you to know I trust you,” she said. “We have something special.”
Asher and the girls said their goodbyes to Nadir and his wives. It had been fun to make other couple friends, and Ash was able to learn a little more of what was out there. With the ending of the cruise they headed to the airport to say their own goodbyes.
“Love you,” Asher whispered in Zora’s ear.

He laughed, “you got me there. I’m not the best at the home stretch. What I’m asking is are we going to keep doing this? Sleeping with random women for XP? I don’t know what you said to Zora, but she hasn’t mentioned it once.”
“Zora is a special case,” Tiff admitted. “I really feel something for her. Something between the 3 of us. She’s been through a lot, and I think she might just be going with the flow. I mean you did save her life twice, kind of hard to disappoint someone that does that. While you’re doing your raid, I’ll talk with her and find out what she really wants. In the meantime, I want you to know I trust you,” she said. “We have something special.”
