Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 03:45:36 +0000 From: wayne unknown Subject: Vainglorious Chapter 24 Author's note This chapter gets really weird and intense and bloody and weird. Trigger warning for the sensitive... Don't read it if you're sensitive. Chapter 24 Renmire After an entertaining couple of rounds with the mini barbarian horde and the twink power top it was time to return to my man and get some bloody loving from him. The barbarians had invited me to visit them again, they were planning on staying in town for the next couple of weeks for training. Then they'd return home to their homeland and their girlfriends and wives. Apparently bisexuality is common in Yannix, the homeland of Barbarians, a large kingdom to the far east. Not just for the guys but also the girls, something to do with it being a somewhat desolate land, where hunting is the primary source of sustenance as crops don't grow so well there. Guys and girls wear the minimum of clothes and are valued for their strength and ability to hunt down various beasts. On the way out of town I resurrected and summoned my Roc, Pidgeot, and jumped on it's back and spurred it to take flight. It flapped it's large wings and we were off, the land stretching out beneath us more and more with every second, only to immediately get brought down by some weird alien force. After I crash landed, a level 180 Mage appears out of nowhere, dressed in a black robe decorated with stars. He's mid 30's and "Flying is restricted within Olympia, to those of high standing in the kingdom, or those who have a permit. Would you like to purchase a temporary permit to leave Olympia on your beast or simply pay the fine and leave on foot?" I resisted the urge to smack the sanctimonious prick in the face, I wasn't in Kratos any more and there were far more high level players and Natives here than there were in Kratos, I couldn't simply just kill him and move on. I wanted to come back here after all. I sighed. I wanted to enjoy a little time on my new pet in the air, feel the wind on my face, without a Titan throwing thunder bolts at me. Was that too much to ask? "I'll pay for the temporary permit then. How much?" He told me a truly staggering amount of money, this dungeon delve was really pinching my pockets. I grumbled and handed over the fistful of gold to the Mage who promptly made the money disappear into a spatial bag. He marked me with a different runic symbol, granting me a temporary permit to fly out of the kingdom. "There you are, this rune will allow you to travel throughout Olympian air space for the next week. If you wish to travel through our air space after that, you'll need to submit an application, along with a small processing fee, undergo a background check and if approved pay an additional fee for a license for a year which will be renewed presuming you pay the license fee." "Right of course, well I'll probably be fine with the temporary kind for now." He smiled at me for a moment before saying "Have a nice day, it's been a pleasure doing business with you." He disappeared. I was jealous, personal teleportation was so cool and showed that he was a powerful spatial mage or rich enough to afford a spatial artifact that allowed him to cross large distances instantly. I had Shadow Step but it was a very limited form of teleportation and had a list of caveats for it's use. Pidgeot's squawk shook me out of my daydreaming about teleporting home. After this daylight robbery, Olympia definitely was moving up on my shit list into second position after the Helios Church. On the upside, after the dungeon delve, I now had another class slot free. I could choose between serving Viridios as one of his druids or make use of the free slot to pick up Enchanting to give me more options for boosting my minions. I should probably chat with Ren before making a decision, either way. I had to start getting used to being in a couple and making decisions as a couple. Ugh. Codependency here I come. I jumped onto the back of Pidgeot again, and this time we managed to fly for about 5 minutes before being shot at by Kratos troops on the border. Apparently they're not fans of unauthorized flying into their kingdom. I guess I should have expected there to be some restriction on flying as I hadn't seen many players on winged beasts. I just thought it was because they weren't awesome enough to tame and ride one but apparently the real problem was money and bureaucracy. Yep Kratos joins Olympia on my shit list. Dark Derek wants to come out and play. I dismounted from Pidgeot and rode Angus home bareback. No you perverts, that's what it's called when you ride a horse without a saddle, then again I haven't had wolf dick since Andrew was around... I should see what that horny pervert is up to and Tim and Tom, they've dropped off the map as of late. Damn college slackers, maybe they're studying or something, nah, knowing them they're probably just partying hard and getting laid IRL. Don't hate the player, hate the real world. Or something. Anyway I ended up home and I switched faces. Sometimes I wonder if living in this fantasy world has made me a complete stranger to normality... then I think, fuck normal. Fuck it in it's pie hole and don't buy it dinner. I couldn't find Ren in our rooms so I made use of our weird soul connection thing to hunt him down. I found him in Iren's gay bath house, named "Steamy Surprise", Iren is getting railed by an assortment of `males' while Ren is banging some unknown vampire dude with his horse sized cock. I should be jealous that my bf is having sex with another dude and I am a bit but I simply unequip all my armor and clothing and slam my hard cock into his Ren's unoccupied wet hole. Guess he's been getting busy while I've been busy. I should probably lock him down more, but that probably means I would need to cut out all the crazy shit I get up to. I'm torn, I want to keep Ren all to myself but I also want to have wild sex with hot dudes. My animal instincts are competing with each other for dominance. Maybe before we get hitched, we should have a chat about that sort of stuff. But first, more fucking. I railed Ren's ass while he fucks away, and after a little bit of time, he clenches up as he cums into this dude and pulls out. Ren gives me a kiss. "Did you have a good trip?" "Yeah gained some levels, fucked some guys. Did you miss me?" He gave me a cheeky smile. "I kept myself occupied." "So I see." I looked around at all the naked guys, some of whom are having sex, others are just lounging around with their dicks out. "Jealous?" He asked, giving my cock a squeeze with his hot ass. "Maybe a little. I was hard at work." I gave a hard thrust as I took hold of his hips and increased the size of my cock using shapeshifting. "While you were having fun without me. It hurts my feelings." He pushed me out of him, so he could turn around and give me a look. "Then you should stick around and keep me company then." I sighed. "I'd love to but I have to get big and strong so that you won't die again in front of me, because that shit is traumatic." He kissed me. "You're sweet but -" "Hey. Are you going to fuck me or talk about your feelings like a couple of 12 year old girls?" The random ho that Ren had been fucking complains. His legs were up in the air and his hole was gaping and leaking cum. Apparently he hadn't had enough yet. I looked at Ren and I give him an evil grin. "A man's work is never done. I guess I have to finish what you started." Ren gives me a vicious grin too, displaying his vampire teeth. "Finish him off stud." I walk over to the greedy ill mannered slut and ram him with my oversized cock and bottom out with a single thrust. "Fuck man, you're huge." he groans. I kind of ignored him and placed my hand under his jaw firmly. "You asked for it. Now I'm going to fuck you until you can't interrupt me and my man again." His attempts to talk are stalled by the fact that my hand is over his face and my strength is far greater than his could hope to be, even without maxed stats, so he can't get away or talk. I rail him without mercy, enjoying the squishiness of his cum soaked hole squeezing my cock as I drove in harder and faster without any concern for his health or happiness, until I blow inside him. It's only after I cum, that I've noticed that he's already blown his wad and is passed out. Woops. I pull out of his ruined hole and watched as my cum and the cum of who knows how many guys leaks out of him. It's kind of hot in a fucked up kind of way. I shake him back into consciousness and he bails without so much as a thank you, or his name. Oh well, anon sex can be hot too. He kind of hobble/jogs away, leaving a trail of cum behind him. Apparently he was one of the `clients' of the establishment. Iren takes me around with Ren to meet the sluts, or at least those that aren't busy satisfying the clients. Those willing to take it up the butt are quite diverse in species, they've got dhampirs, vampires, lizardmen, Trolls & human sluts. There's also some `paid' tops on the list too. I saw Damon railing some dude, he gives me a jaunty wave. I guess it's hard to be angry for long when you're stuffing your dick into some randy ho. The gay bath house has expanded as of late to cater to the necromancers. Turns out cheap no strings sex is quite appealing to dudes who chose necromancy of all things to engage inside a VR reality. Technically they're paying for entry into the bath house and not for sex but everyone knows the real score. They're there to get laid, more than to get wet. They'd probably prefer to get some action with some busty females but any hole is a goal for the socially challenged. There is a pool, a wet sauna, a dry sauna, a weird glory hole labyrinth, hot spring like areas, a very large bar area with a lounge. There's a variety of `rooms' where people can engage in various carnal pursuits. There's a room lined with mirrors where you can watch your reflections fucking/getting fucked, there's an entire level that's a kinky sex dungeon. We took a somewhat long break there, I tied Ren up and sodomized him repeatedly, utilizing various tools and interesting props. Fucked him on a sling while he was handcuffed and face fucked by Iren's huge cock. What can I say? There's something so appealing to having a hot naked guy tied up so that he's at your complete mercy, you can lick him, bite him, suck him, fuck him, ride him, whip him, trail hot wax over his body, tickle his feet. All sorts of weird and wonderful options await. Ren's safe word was Albuquerque. Mine was Nebraska... Okay I may have spent some time tied up too, blindfolded and bent over, getting spit roasted by two well hung men who are both sort of my boyfriend. Evil devil clones are tasty but dangerous. Eventually Iren's tour continued, I saw many simple rooms with just beds and lube. Then there were massage rooms where you could get oiled up and massaged and ultimately finish with a happy ending. There was a weird greco roman arena orgy room, people would wrestle with each other naked, covered in oil and the loser would get fucked by the winner. Had a little raised dais, where the audience could fuck too. Apparently it wasn't a good match unless the loser got gangbanged by the audience members. A bad match was when the two were too evenly matched and the audience descended into an orgy out of frustration like a soccer riot but with slightly more butt fucking. I assumed it was a nod to historical precedent with the original Olympics involving all male nudity and no women spectators. There was a mini school setting, complete with small class rooms, complete with desks where people could play out various teacher fantasies. There was a gym room where there was a `gym teacher' being roughly gangbanged by a bunch of naked necromancers. There was a library where guys were being railed against bookshelves, while a middle aged librarian dude dressed in a sweater vest and glasses combo kept going around and shushing people. Undermined somewhat by the fact that every time he interrupted a couple, he'd end up being spit roasted by them. There was the free love emporium, where music was played by various vampires in the background, using various instruments to play various tunes. There was a wet bar for drinks and a potion room for various other substances, to keep you hard and high before fucking or being fucked, or just lounging around jacking it as you watched others get it on. Iren stopped there for a little bit to fuck around with the `band'. So many jokes about skin flute and drummers pounding away and so little time. I had the pianist sit on my penis while he played Chopin Revolutionary Etude op 10 no 12. It was quite a performance, I gave him a semen ovation. I wanted an encore performance but Iren dragged me away so we could see the rest of the sights so to speak. There was even a lookalike room for all the guys that wanted to fuck me, which was kind of flattering and awkward as hell. There were a lot of Trolls though, which was worrisome, my cheap knock off looked like he was having fun though. After getting the grand tour of the sauna, the slutty part of me just wanted to spend the next month there just fucking around like a horny animal. Sadly the rational part of me said I was in a semi committed relationship with Ren and I had way too many enemies to just fuck around when they could crush me at any point. Honestly it's been way too quiet as of late considering everything I did to Kratos & the Church. I should probably check on that. Next morning I visited Morganna at the Mage Guild to find out for myself what was up with this whole feminist malarkey and also to do some recruiting for help with Ren's wedding gift. The Mage guild is looking much more put together, it has books on actual book shelves now. I see Lizard Women teaching classes of smaller Lizard girls? That could be a problem later, if the women were the only ones being educated. I'd have to check in with Gregor and Gulch later to make sure that the Lizardmen and Trolls were learning more than just how to fight. Otherwise a gender based civil war could be on the cards later which could be amusing be to honest but ultimately counter productive to my long term goal of keeping Ren from dying again. Busy busy, a monarch's life is far more trouble than I had imagined. Anyway I finally met up with Morganna after being led around for a bit by some nameless Lizard woman. "So I hear you're a feminist these days." I start. "Malesss are not the only one who deserve to run thingsss. Women of all shapes and siZesss deserve a voice." I struggled not to laugh, Morganna got super lispy when she was aggravated, it was hard to take her seriously when she said sizes and the s's were weird and even the Z got enunciated. Total train wreck. "Indeed that's why I want your help to improve your former home into something as good or even better than this city. A place where your efforts will literally shape the future. Will you help me?" Morganna gave me a piercing look. "What do you want?" "I want all the Lizard Mages to follow me to the swamp and kill it dead, I picture a giant city with a swamp as a moat." "You think we should follow you simply because you're a man?" I was starting to get annoyed with this song and dance. "No, you follow me because I gave you a name, a class and the chance to be something more than what you were. If you think you can do a better job than me, stop whining about the fucking patriarchy and take power from my cold dead hands but I warn you now, even if you succeed it's all just fucking bullshit and dealing with stupid people and honestly I don't rate your chances highly. I'm about 50 levels higher than you and could rip you apart with my bare hands, let alone if I used my magic, I could turn you into my fucking undead bitch, so it's probably not a good idea to piss me off." I ranted, after my little tirade, I had to take a deep breath to calm down a little. Mouthy cunts irritated the fuck out of me and I didn't have a lot of patience at the best of times. Morganna just stared at me for a long moment before finally saying "When did you have in mind?" lowering her head, looking defeated. I didn't trust that she'd stay submissive for long though. "Now, but I guess it'll take time for you to organize your people so I'll be back in the next hour to collect you. It's important that we build another base, we have many enemies and the more resources we have to make use of the better our chances will be." I left and visited Hugo to get Enchanting from him. Ren had said it would be more useful for us to learn various magical things separately so we'd both be stronger, rather than be beholden to yet another God. I agreed with his logic. Hugo taught me how to inscribe a simple rune of protection, which basically required me to draw out mana from myself and draw a square with curls at the corners. I gained [Inscription] and the Enchanter Class as a result. I would have to improve my level of Enchanter by using Enchanting frequently in and out of combat. I then went to meet up with Gregor and Gulch to check in on things and arrange an escort to clear a path back to Lizard town and secure the area from potential threats. I got a thousand Lizard and Troll warriors, with a mix of experienced and inexperienced members. I visited the Mage Guild with a couple of thousand troops following behind me. Considering that the Troll population rose by about 3000 a day without factoring in births or deaths, it wasn't that impressive. We marched towards what would become Renmire. On the way we tore our way through the Swamp, collecting some extra Lizard Men along the way. Once we arrived at the newly named Renmire I led the Lizard Mages in a symphony of earth magic renovation. I made use of Telepathy while using [Choral Magic] to spread my knowledge of basic enchanting to further improve the Mages capacity. I couldn't give them the Enchanter class as I wasn't a high enough level yet but it would give them the underlying knowledge so they could start practicing the basics beforehand. We started work on renovating Renmire from former Lizard Town into something worthy of my rulership. I used our collective power to essentially raze the existing buildings with [Rock Crumble] then used [Raise Earth] outwards for a couple of miles incorporating some of the lesser Lizard Villages into my domain. Took a twenty minute break to allow the Lizard Mages to restore their mana pools and resumed the work. I fucked around a bit, using the power of an Earth God to test out different designs for the new city of Renmire. After some testing, I settled on a basic design of a large circular wall on the outer perimeter with a sloping terrain climaxing at the center of the `island' where my palace/city hall would reside. Then we got to work on raising up the outline of a palace... Then we split up to work on the central district, adding a few more buildings to the list this time around. We created another Arena, City Hall, Training Grounds, Armory, Mall and Mage Guild/Library. As well as a Treasury inscribed obsessively with protection Runes inside, which I took care of personally to increase my level of Enchanting. Then there was the residential area where 5 story apartment buildings rose to life. While the mages were busy working on the ground level. I had the soldiers out hunting the local wildlife to extinction for a feast. I work on excavating out the rough outlines of underground levels after maxing out my intelligence stats. After several hours of effort, we break for a feast, but there is far too many of them and too few animals in this area to eat. Overpopulation is a serious problem, there's two potential solutions, culling my minions or securing a new food source. Killing off my minions, would be unpopular which really only left me with trying to secure a better food source for Renmire, than the dangerous and scarce swamp predators and the unexciting swamp plants. We returned back to Abaddon to pick up more supplies and to allow my minions to return back to their homes to rest for a bit. I visited Steamy Surprise and found Ren and Iren entertaining each other in one of the massage rooms. Iren was pounding Ren's butt on the massage table. I slid into Iren's wet hole and we descended into a fucking frenzy for a little bit until we got our requisite happy endings. Afterwards I recruited Iren and Ren to help me collect some more animals from Beast Forest. They brought along a thousand vampires & necromancers to help out. Apparently there was some networking value to the gay bath house. I tried using a Thunderbird to shock the prey into submission but they just ended up roasted instead and it drew the attention of a small force of troops from Erand. The resulting battle if one could call it that was laughable as the vampires easily overpowered the squad of soldiers. After they were defeated, the soldiers were drained of blood and left lying in the tree tops, unconscious and naked; stripped of armor, clothing and weapons. Abaddon and Renmire were black hole of resources, clothes, armor and weapons were just a few of the things that were in short supply. There was some trade with the city of Ratede for necessities but considering their situation, it wasn't sufficient or stable in the long term. After we collected thousands of beasts from Beast Forest, we returned to Abaddon with our bounty. That night, a couple of thousand vampires followed us to Renmire in order to assist in the formation of a secondary Township level. Iren helped Ren and I in creating another Wilds level, so that there would be a renewable source of food available in this city. After 24 hours it'd had improved greatly from the generic lizard town it had been. I saved the changes and asked if Ren would be up for a wedding within the next few days. I wanted to lock my man down with chains of matrimony ASAP before any big battles could further complicate my life. He agreed and we started planning details. Iren promised to help with entertainment (drinks, drugs and dudes). Agreed upon a guest list, including all the important people I had gotten to know over the last month or so, even inviting those whose relationships with me had soured somewhat or who I hadn't seen in a while. After all it was a happy event and who didn't like wedding cake? Tom, Tim, Lord Ratede, Damon and Thad being chief among them. The guest list for the public festivities had a thousand necromancers, lizards, trolls and vampires invited to the wedding festivities in Renmire, while the reception would be a more private affair with only the Named Trolls and Lizards and other notable vampires and necromancers attending. I planned on leaving Gregor in charge of Abaddon in my absence. :: A few days later:: I stood in Renmire watched by thousands as I looked at my sexy Ren dressed in a form fitting black tux. I was rocking a white tux, that I had custom made by one of the necromancers with a tailor subclass, because obviously I'm the virginal one in our relationship. Lord Ratede officiated over the wedding in his position as high level Blood Priest. Admittedly some of the vampiric wedding traditions were a little different than what I had grown up with. For instance instead of wearing rings of gold, we were wearing rings of blood. Lord Ratede had us slice into each other's fingers with ceremonial daggers and he used [Blood Formation] to shape them into rings. I wore Ren's blood around my finger and he wore mine around his, it was supposed to indicate that we were bound by blood. There was also a part of the wedding where we bit into each other making a bloody mess that LR fixed with [Blood Extraction], leaving our clothes remarkably spotless. We exchanged personalized vows and we kissed and the crowd cheered for their monarchs. Which of course they did, because otherwise I would have ripped off their heads and drained their bodies of blood. Later we retired to the newly built and furnished palace for drinks and debauchery. Iren had prepared an assortment of `treats' for Ren and I. Mostly in the form of `special' potions from Ethan, rather than traditional champagne and after drinking them down with a why the hell not attitude, things got a little blurry. One moment I was eating wedding cake and the next Ren was bent over getting railed by Iren while I was getting railed by Lord Ratede. Since he was my father in law, it was even kinkier and hotter than usual, may have had a little hate sex vibe going on, since I sort of ruined the secrecy of his city for my own personal gain but the sex was rough and vigorous and when he came in me, he bit into me, drinking my blood and it felt so very good. That was just the start of the depravity as Gulch shoved his thick red cock up my recently vacated hole and I think Beta shoved his hard cock into my mouth. They fucked into either end of me with their thick cocks as their strong callused hands roamed and groped my body as they railed me. I had a load of cum from each of them before they pulled out and were replaced by the other named Onis/Trolls who took turns shoving their cocks into my holes. Meanwhile Ren was being fucked by the Dhampir Commander Keiran and face fucked by Roman while half a dozen of their men were naked and hard around them, waiting for their turn. Iren had his own line of Lizard men double stuffing his holes. Sometime later, I remembered that I was on my back on the table, dangling off the edge with my throat being fucked by a vampire while he 69'd me with vampire teeth while being double penetrated by Sissyphus. I came hard down the vampire's throat, I'm fairly sure he was vampire nobility and leader of one of the vampire factions but fuck if I remember his name. He was sucking my cock and drinking my blood through my cock at the same time. It was fucking surreal. I had a super intense and sort of painful orgasm as I exploded into his mouth. I tightened up around Sissyphus whose cocks promptly came in me. I sat up on the table feeling well and truly fucked and fucked up. My hole leaking copious amounts of monster cum. I had forgotten about the vampire noble but he hadn't forgotten me and he pulled me onto his cock, lifting me up, only to slam me onto his hard cock. No rest for the wicked. I watched over the horny vamp's shoulder in wonder as Iren got double double penetrated by a couple of horny lizard men, getting stretched out by 4 lizard cocks at a time. It looked like a hell of a time, so when the vamp noble inevitably shot his load in my hole, I used [Telepathy] to order another couple of lizard man to fuck me like that too. I think one of them was Dogsbane but I'm not 100% on that one. Anyway he came up next to Arsenic and the next thing I knew I was on my back with Arsenic inside me and Dogsbane had shoved his stiff cocks into me and fuck it felt unbelievably good. After that it was like a free for all for the lizard men, I had two Lizard cocks in my mouth, 4 in my butt and several more took their turns with me before I was back to being fucked by humans again. I took a bite of Gulch for a quick power up and to help my butt recover even faster. Then it was Blade Frenzy the sexy barbarian, slamming away into me. Which was followed by Tom & Tim double penetrating me which was nice and nostalgic. Then came the most extreme sexual moment of my life. Andrew was in line and he summoned his Treant and used [Companion Transformation] to turn himself into a human Ent thing, a Dryad of sorts. His whole body, including his cock grew thicker and harder. As he fucked me, he started growing bigger and thicker and his fingers began stretching and moving in weird ways. It was like his fingers had turned into roots that he could control. He was a mix between Groot and the porntastic version of Mr Fantastic, his rootacle fingers dug into everywhere. They were inexplicably sticky and soon there was wood in my mouth and ass and stretching my asshole to an extreme level. They had also sunk into a couple of holes I wasn't expecting them to which was just disturbing. After Andrew had his way with me I needed a break from sex so when Ethan and Hugo came up to me fully dressed like normal sane people and told me they had something special waiting for me I was happy to follow them. I was naked, drugged out of my gourd and leaking cum from multiple orifices including my ears for some strange reason so I was curious what they had in mind for me. Andrew was seriously fucked up as was I for inviting him and letting him just violate me as treant thing. I should get some standards or something. Ethan and Hugo led me to a room where Max and Caleb awaited, fully dressed and armed. I looked at them expectantly wondering what the surprise was. It was just a large empty room like dozens of others in the palace that hadn't been filled and were for the moment unassigned store rooms. Max hit me with his battle axe and shouted "DIE YOU FUCKING BASTARD." I was knocked to the floor bleeding from a serious chest wound. It stung, but not as much as Andrew's Dryad cock had. I started laughing "Et tu Brutus." Then there was a room full of undead, trying to poison, stab and or use life drain to kill me. So as a sane and sober individual I danced with the undead, giggling like an insane person, as my blood flowed freely onto the floor. I used [Master's Vengeance] on Max and all the stats that he had gained from drinking blood flowed into me, increasing my health and stats accordingly. Then I tackled him to the ground and ripped out his throat the old fashioned way with my teeth. The fresh blood helped to sober me up. He died and he disappeared and his undead went wild, attacking the other necromancers and their undead. I laughed, they had tried to kill me and I was going to fuck them up to teach them the folly of their choices. The other necromancers tried to stop me but one by one they fell to the fatal one two hit combo of [Master's Vengeance] and throat ripping/neck snapping. Then it was just me in a room with a hundred high level undead, who wanted to eat and or kill me. Iren showed up out of nowhere and interrupted the fun of me trying to smash my way through the annoying undead by setting the room on fire, along with me. Thanks to the gift from the imps and the triple regeneration skills, I survived Iren's retribution without a scratch on me. "You really know how to make friends." "What can I say? Enemies are more entertaining than friends." Unfortunately with my newly found sobriety I realized that this kind of betrayal was usually the finalization of greater ambition of traitors. The climax of the day's festivities was supposed to be the creation of a Gate between Renmire and Abaddon. I had a bad feeling that it wouldn't be so easy, so I decided to see if I could do it now. I tried it and instead of it working, I got an error [Abaddon is no longer owned by Champion]. Fuckers. There had been no Alert which meant the betrayal was far worse than just the Necromancers. I told Iren of the development and we went back to Ren to check if he was okay. We returned to the banquet hall and he was feeling fine, he was still drugged up and getting dicked down by a dozen horny males of various species. Well at least he was okay. I guess they planned to take out Ren after they dealt with me, but how would they have dealt with Iren? Unless they assumed he would disappear once Ren died but what about Lord Ratede? There must be more to this. Unless of course they were idiots, which was a possibility but I doubted I would be that lucky considering recent events. I re equipped my armor and gave Ren an extra ten minutes to enjoy himself with our party guests before drawing a close to the festivities by falsely claiming I was taking my man away for an early honeymoon activity. Iren had drugged/telepathically incited quite a few of these guests into a state of extreme horniness, he simply let them loose of their initial targets and they descended upon in each other in an orgiastic display. On a normal day, I would probably stay and inappropriately record this free for all orgy but sadly I had other things to do. I summoned Pidgeot and Iren, Ren and I mounted it... On the flight, Iren mounted a horny and still kind of fucked up Ren from behind. I shook my head at Iren's hijinks, he was so powerful and yet ridiculously horny. At least it provided some levity to counter my rage, though I still planned to send Iren back to hell as soon as I figured out the best way to do so. I couldn't let him remain to restrain my man. That was my job. We returned to Abaddon to find it occupied by a combined force of Kratos and Church troops, at least 50000 of the bastards. I guessed that was how they planned to deal with Ratede, by sending in a Bishop backed by an army of paladins and soldiers to take him out during the day. I used [Gods eye] and [Hawk's Eye] to oversee my stolen city. There were at least ten thousand troops patrolling the perimeter. There was no way they could have seized Abaddon without the traitorous necromancer's help and they couldn't occupy it without Gregor's complicit acceptance. There were no necromancers or vampires in sight, nor demons. Either they were dead or underground. Judging by the damage to the city, it was unclear what had happened. It looked like the city hall had been raided and demolished, blocking one of the major entrances to the Underground. This betrayal was extensive and annoyingly effective at taking control of one of the most strategic assets I had, my primary base of operations. All in all a relatively bloodless coup. Sadly for them, I'm a complete bastard and I will murder them all. I landed Pidgeot outside the outer walls and summoned my 4 bunnies, 3 thunder birds and Brutus. I had the 4 bunnies use [Multiplaction] to produce a duplicate, the duplicates went forth slowly, duplicating once every second. In ten seconds those 4 duplicate bunnies had become roughly four thousand and were under fire by archers and mages on the walls. It would be a hassle to break down those walls after all the effort taken to build them up and buff them... So I told my bunnies to act like they didn't exist and simply build themselves a ramp using their own bodies. A few more seconds went by and the bunny numbers doubled another 3 times and the forces on the wall were severely outnumbered if not outgunned. The demon bunnies clambered over each other, duplicating upwards, building ever upwards and in as little as five seconds had rendered the outer walls irrelevant. Demon bunnies died in droves, taken out by level 100 plus Mages using fire magic, but it was like trying to stop a wooden boat from sinking with a bucket with a hole in it. An exercise in futility. While the demon bunnies served as a distraction I sent my winged pets to rain down death from above. The thunderbirds used thunder to stun or kill groups of enemies at a time while Brutus barreled into enemies with his bulk and swung his barbed tail around like crazy, knocking soldiers off the walls to either smack into solid ground or disappear into a horde of violent fluffballs. While the defenders were busy fighting for their lives, I made use of the mayhem to bypass the fighting entirely. I used [Tunneling] to dig my way underground and into the Wilds along with my two companions. Ren was still fucked up on something, since his eyes were glazed, might have had something to do with Iren having his giant cock in him. It kind of undermined my awesome bad ass moment to have the two of them along since Ren was riding Iren's cock, while wrapped around him like a koala round a tree. Iren was obviously not interested in helping out with any of his overpowered skills so it was down to me to get things done. I lead the way down into the Township to gather what remained of my troops. I talked to one of the Lizardmen that was assigned to monitoring the bunnies and found out what had happened. Gregor had opened the gates for the enemy during the middle of the day after sending out the majority of the armed forces underground or on pointless hunts. Those that didn't instantly accept the new state of affairs were banished underground to be dealt with later. Those of the demonic or undead persuasion were forced underground or destroyed, angering and alienating the Demon Summoners and Necromancers. Since the main force of the occupiers were the Church, the vampires were the least able to help as the surface level had been sanctified by a wide scale Sanctuary. This also made it impossible for Iren to help and Ren couldn't come either since he'd be in constant pain. I'd be in pain too, but thanks to my nature as a Champion, I'd only get a tenth of it, so it was more of an annoying itch that aggravated me than a deterrent. Similarly neither the Necromancers or the new Demon Summoners could bring out their true strength as neither the undead or demons could be called forth on hallowed ground. I lead a small army of about 500 Doom Wolves, Lizard Men and Trolls into the arena, scouting the path by using [God's Eye] and [Rock Crumble] to create a staircase of soft dirt upwards. There are demon bunnies everywhere in battle with paladins and swordsman and knights and archers and mages. It's a bloody free for all. Demon bunnies die in droves but each victory comes at a cost. The demon bunnies are essentially countless at this point and the `defenders' drop one by one. The Demon bunnies however have a short shelf life and with each duplication, the new duplicate has less mana to duplicate with. The demon bunnies are starting to lose ground as the main core of the opposition fight back. I watch with helpless fury as Anthony the Bishop uses [Avatar] to use [Mass Resurrection] to bring back many of the fallen soldiers, anywhere he goes, those injured in the fighting regain full health. Turning the tide of battle against me and my dwindling supply of demon bunnies. Anthony's higher state of being only lasts for a minute as it's a very mana and Divine Power expensive skill to use. He slumps over, exhausted. I make use of the moment to use [Bind] on his two paladin body guards and attack him directly with my teeth. The sanctuary falls as the blood of the primary caster spills past my lips and onto the now desanctified ground. I gain 50 DP from his death and a new notification from both Terminus and Abyss, but I'm not really interested in that. I'm more focused on the multiple level ups I get from killing a level 200, single handed. I don't have much chance to enjoy it as the level 160 & level 170 paladins break free of their vines to attack me. It hurts but their Blessed Aura enhanced sword strikes do little to actually bring down my health significantly. The tide of battle turns again as Iren and Ren lead the charge of reinforcements, necromancers and demon summoners and their minions in slaughtering the remaining tired and worn out defenders. Iren creates stone titans to crush large groups of defenders, Ren Tomb Breaks them and the vampires and dhampirs follow behind to drain the remaining troops of their blood. Victory is ours, though not without a steep cost. I had lost most of my troops to this treachery. I had given the demon bunnies the same order as I had the others, Gregor is mine... I reclaimed Abaddon and I opened a Gate between Abaddon and Renmire so that the wedding party could help to reinforce a somewhat devastated Abaddon. Gregor ends up in Iren's Bath House, as a prisoner in the sex dungeon. I tied him up and asked him for an explanation from him as to the reason to his betrayal and that of the other Necromancers. "You ruined my life, you turned me against my own kingdom and God but I received a divine message from Helios that if I helped to destroy the Demon King I would find salvation and become a true paladin." I thought about that for a second, I did sort of turn him to the dark side, having him train monsters to better kill good God fearing folk. "Right, of course, I'm to blame for your actions, make sense I guess and the necromancers?" "You betrayed their leader, looted their home and caused them to lose nearly everything they had. Why did you think they'd be loyal to you?" "You make excellent points, I suppose I should have paid more attention to their loyalty levels before putting them in positions of power. Fuck it, they're dead now and in Hell, so their reasoning for trying to kill me really doesn't matter any more. Live and learn. Now I know I'll have to destroy Helios and his church before I can really be happy." "You can't win, you're a monster, you've killed thousands and thousands of people. You're a madman, they'll kill you and everyone that follows you." "Maybe but the question is what to do with you?" "Kill me, I don't care any more, I've done my duty to Helios." "Oh you silly man. I'm not going to kill you, you're going to stay here in the dungeons and keep the patrons happy." I turned away from him, ignoring his shouting and pleas for the sweet release of death, like I'd let him be a martyr, or return to his God for resurrection. He would be my bitch for now and until the end of time. I'd snack on him later. The real question was how to destroy Helios, he'd just resurrect his troops, admittedly I struck a blow by killing one of his level 200 Bishops but that was nowhere near enough to really take him down. I needed to take over Kratos and there was one easy way to do so, I had become a level 175 Warrior thanks to Anthony and his soldiers' deaths so I just needed to challenge the Diamond King and take his place. Only I needed another 25 levels in order for the game world's mechanics to let me challenge him officially, I'd also needed reliable people to serve as ministers and help me run the kingdom. I needed to be much stronger and gain levels in everything and increase my power. So much to do. I sent a dhampir envoy to the Capitol requesting a duel with the king for the right to rule Kratos. In the meantime I made plans to vist Olympia to lay the groundwork to destroy and or take over both kingdoms. Why be king of a couple of small cities, when I could be a powerful conqueror instead? Admittedly my plans for doing so were a little light on details but that would be tomorrow's problem, for now, it's time for my bloody honeymoon with Ren. ///////////////////////////////// Author's Note This chapter was a lot harder to write than I expected. I think it's because Derek's sphere of influence has grown far larger and faster than I had planned and I don't know what Derek is going to do from one minute to the next. He's kind of erratic since Ren died. I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, not sure if it's right but if I waited for it to be perfect I might never post again. I might just take a break from this story for a bit to focus on my other story since it's more a personal journey of a teenager whose adventurers don't involve so many people and kingdoms and the fate of two worlds and so forth and so on. Scope creep is a nightmare. I don't know.
