"Fuck! That was a lot more difficult than it should have been. Thanks for the save Hades" (Xel)
Hades merely bowed in response.
Ignoring the slew of blue pop ups I look around for where that voice from earlier came from.
"Astral Projection!" (Xel)
I may have forgotten to mention this, but astral projection is able to change perception, from Thermal, Atral, Normal, and night vision. The first and last seem similar to me, but whatever.
I begin using the different visions to search around for where the voice came from.
Thermal detects heat signatures, since the only ones are me and the MILF's, they're either undead or cold blooded.
Normal is just as it implies, normal looking around, nothing.
Night vision is a more pitiful version of Thermal.
Astral, however is quite interesting. It can see any being with mana, making almost if not all thief hiding techniques useless, as long as i'm using it.
Still, noone was around, so that leaves only 1 person. Vanessa. Why she hasn't spoken up before is beyond me, but if she doesn't want to, I won't make her. I'm already sick of the voices in my head,
"We heard that!" (Dark & Light)
I leave astral projection and walk over to the axe. It's double sided like the Axe of Whiterun from Skyrim.
'If I give this to Hades, will it just fall to the ground when I unsummon him, or will it travel with him?' (Xel)
"It should travel with" (Dark)
"I see, thanks." (Xel)
"Hades, this is yours for now, use it." (Xel)
Hades looked at me a moment before taking the axe and bowing.
Might as well get the stats out of the way.

I raised my WIS by 10, Vitality by 10, and INT by 10. It's decent I guess.
I raised Hades strength by 5 and AGI by 5. The axe definitely raised his attack quite a bit.
I raised Vanessa's INT by 3, Vitality by 2, and WIS by 5

"So should we test out Telekinesis first, or deal with the MILFs?" (Xel)
"Let's get Telekinesis out of the way" (Dark)
"Alright then, tell me about it." (Xel)
"There were two types, one was a spell, and one was a ability. Do you know the difference?" (Dark)
"Erm, one costs mana one doesn't?" (Xel)
"Hahaha! Surprisingly accurate, though most abilities use stamina, don't forget that!" (Dark)
"So, which did I get?" (Xel)
"The ability version" (Dark)
"Why that one?" (Xel)
"Well, you've probably noticed it but the world has changed, certain rules may and may not apply now. For instance your Warriors Strength, you now have strength comparable to a person with a 100 strength stat, but you won't do nearly that much damage, get it?" (Dark)
"I think so, I have 100 strength, I can pick up heavy things, but the actually damage i'll do with punches is still only comparable to someone with 20 STR stat?" (Xel)
"Exactly, it's a drawback in this case, but not in the case of Telekinesis." (Dark)
"For example, since it isn't a spell, it works by your will alone, and will only drain stamina when you overexert yourself. Higher levels of it can lift heavier things much more easily." (Dark)
"Thats AWESOME! If I were to just take out a rifle bullet from the ammo pouch, spin it in midair with Telekinesis and then maneuver it how I want, couldn't I be invincible?" (Xel)
"Well, probably. But you're not taking into account that a bullet is completely ineffective against Dragon's scales, and the time needed to spin it fast enough to rip through people easily will get you killed." (Dark)
"Shh shh shh, stop raining on my parade, it's fine how it is..." (Xel)
"Whatever" (Dark)
"So you said you had a plan for the MILF's?" (Xel)
"Indeed I do, though we'll need to find other hot women for it to work" (Dark)
"Huh, is that so? Alive or dead... It's sad that I have to ask a thing like that these days?" (Xel)
"Alive, though even after the mind copy, I suggest you not level them up, because I don't know what'll happen to their levels when I use the skill" (Dark)
"Well, I don't think it will really matter, i've tried raising my STR stat as a test to see if my body would change or not. Since it hasn't in the slightest I can only assume that the power rests in my soul, and it's effecting the world around me" (Xel)
"......" (Dark)
"What, i've read alot of things, why do you think demons want souls? It's because of the power they hold" (Xel)
"No no, not that. Me and dark just received a message from Arielle for you." (Light)
"Oh? Tell me what it says" (Xel)
"Oops, it seems you've uncovered something you shouldn't have, though if one thinks about it the way you did, it's probably easy to figure out. Though I doubt I have to say it to my chosen, don't spread that information about souls around, or you'll attract trouble fufufu ;)"
*sigh* I should have seen this coming... OH well i'm a loner, and she knows that. Though I should thank her for the warning next time we talk.
"So can I level them up?" (Xel)
"Er, yeah. It should be no problem now" (Dark)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright then, how do we begin?" (Xel)
*Sigh* "Just leave everything to me" (Dark)
"I'm not sure thats a good idea, but alright" (Xel)
"Hey hey hey! Whats with that attitude? If you can't trust yourself who can you trust? Besides I wouldn't make a woman out of our tastes... That'll backfire" (Dark)
"Alright, alright, sorry. So what do you plan to do?" (Xel)
"Mind copy merely copies things from one mind to another, it's mostly used to share information or send spies back to another place. Since their minds are already gone, i'm going to wipe what little is keeping them alive, basic body memory. Then, what i'm going to do is copy the basic information first. How to talk, breathe, move, and other such things" (Dark)
"Sounds tiresome, what next?" (Xel)
"Fuck you, i'm doing all the work... Next we copy a basic personality. Tsundere, Yandere, goddess like kindness, Strict but horny. And finally make them completely loyal to you in their hearts and minds." (Dark)
"I see, I like all those except Tsundere, they sorta piss me off" (Xel)
"No tsundere then. But you'll have to find a girl like that some day, no harem is complete without a Tsundere" (Dark)
"Tch, fine. What happens next?" (Xel)
"They should get a sense of self, get a name, and choose a class." (Dark)
"Can I choose for them?" (Xel)
"Probably, though it's up to them more or less" (Dark)
"Alright alright, lets get started." (Xel)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Candi POV
"Erm, whats going on?" (Candi)
"Oh! look the first ones awake, is she the leader of the girls?" (???)
I look to the voice, it's master! I see, so i'm in charge of my sisters?
"Helllllooooo? Miss, do you know where you are, or who you are?" (Master Xel)
"Of course! I'm Candi, we're in the mall after the apocalypse started" (Candi)
"Oh, you even gave her basic memories and knowledge eh? Good job Dark!" (Most Exultant Master Xel)
"Uhm, master? Who are you talking to?" (Candi)
"Oh, you even know who I am? Wait whats this? No nevermind for now. And to answer your question, i'm talking to one of the voices in my head" (Xel)
"Oh, so it's master dark and master light?" (Candi)
"You bastard, you even added yourselves as masters?" (Xel)
"M, Master?" (Candi)
"Huh, oh no sorry, it seems you're all awake now and all seem to know what you need to, good" (Godlike Master Xel)
I look to my left and see my four sisters. Brandi, Mandy and Sandy, they all seem much like me, new to this but eager to have made the contract with Master.
As I looked back at master I can't help but imagine what he has in store!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xel POV
"You did an amazing job with them, but what the hell is up with this?" (Xel)
[tr]
Congratulations!
The following players have chosen to become your slaves of their own free will.
Brandi
Mandy
Candi
Sandy
While this is rare, it is hardly unheard of stalkers tend to use it annoyingly. Being a slave grants a 100% immunity to mind magic, and corruption, slaves are bound by your will, and can be released whenever you wish. Note from Arielle: Slaves bodies are bound, souls are not
"So, does this help, or hinder your plans for them?" (Xel)
"It greatly helps them, this takes away the need to kill anyone" (Dark)
"Wait what! You were going to have me kill pretty girls?" (Xel)
"You're going to have to do it eventually, but you know what I mean" (Dark)
"I know I probably will, but I don't know what you mean... Grr nevermind" (Xel)
Giving up I call the girls over.
"Alright, have you girls chosen your class yet?" (Xel)
They look at each other and shake their heads. Good, they haven't spoiled this chance!
"Alright then, from now on as you know, you'll be my guards, though I don't know what Dark has planned, you'll eventually be my lovers, I think... Damn this is creepy..." (Xel)
"It's fine master, we know what you mean, don't worry too much about it. We are not the same people who we're captured by goblins, we're completely different people, so don't stress out so much" (Candi)
"Yeah yeah! It's fine to be how you want, we'll love you either way!" (Sandy)
"Indeed, if anyone messes with our beloved i'll... Fufufufu" (Mandy)
"Thats no way to talk to your master, but she's not wrong, if anyone messes with you..." (Brandi)
In short Candi is the kind one, Sandy is the energetic one, Mandy the Yandere, and Brandi the strict one.
"I see, thank you." (Xel)
I turned away blushing, even if I can't exactly bring myself to do them after the scene I saw, they're all still sexy women...
"Hahaha! Virgin!" (Dark)
"You're one too, you know" (Xel)
"Fuck you" (Dark)
"Aw look! Master's blushing face is soo cute!" (Candi)
"Yeah!" (Sandy)
"Fufufu into the bank it goes" (Mandy with a camera)
'Hey where did she...'
"He really is... it's getting itchy" (Brandi)
"Alright alright, back onto the topic at hand, my plan for you girl is to let you choose your own classes, but make sure you'll be able to work together in a team, though it's probably fine if you hold off, no clue how the future will turn out." (Xel)
"Yes master!" (Girls)
*sigh* 'Having a harem is going to be troublesome, isn't it... But this, might be nice" (Xel)

Shady Building: A certain Heroes POV
"Do you understand?" (???)
"Yes my lord, I understand, I'll send a group right away" (Young Man)
"Good, let it be done" (???)
The young man bowed as all presence of the voice disappeared.
"That assholes gone now my love" (Young Woman)
"I know, I was just thinking about what i'm going to do if he ever actually shows up" (Young Man)
"Fufufu, how about what we did to that mother and daughter last night?" (Young Woman)
"Kakaka, sounds fun! We should do that again tonight, stupid worshipers" (Young Man)
"It's the apocalypse dear, and something calling itself god showed up and chose you. Fufufu, perfect bait for those people" (Young Woman)
"Hahahah! Right? Just imagining the face of the mother and daughter as they heard the truth and screamed as we gave them to goblins... Mhmmm" (Young Man)
"Ahh, or that father and son we told had sinned, that whipping session, oh god!" (Young Woman)
"Fufufu, i'm feeling really frisky, I don't think I can wait until tonight" (Young Woman)
"Kukuku, I can always put off sending a group after a single man for a day" (Young Man)
"A single man? You were given another chosen to hunt down?" (Young Woman)
"Yeah, thankfully this time, his god is ranked lower than mine and not the same, much less trouble" (Young Man)
"I see, thats why you don't have to go yourself, his god can't intervene" (Young Woman)
"Kakaka exactly! Now then, who should we pick tonight?" (Young Man)
"Fufufu, I have just the couple, seeing them so happy makes me sick" (Young Woman)
"Sounds great, I love this world!" (Young Man)
"Fufufu, me too" (Young Woman)
