Ryan walks into town and joins up with his crew who were rebuilding the wall. Kannell was there working her ass trying her hardest to keep her demons from last night at bay. He works for half a day, and after the end of that, they both head home. Before going home, it was payday. Everyone got payed around 800-1300 gold each for the project They were almost done finishing up. However due to Ryan’s antics in Gainer, Queen Lake ended up taking a lot of his pay by royal Degree. He was only payed 200 gold. The wall was 85% Replaced, and they were all making great time. When they all get ready to head home Ryan grabs Kannell by the waist and hugs her.
“You feeling okay?” He said while trying to comfort her.
“Yes, I’m doing a little better now” She told him.
“Alright lets head…” He said while pausing and spotting Liz. She was Wearing her waitress outfit and walking towards Misty’s house. Ryan signals her to follow him and they go stalk her and see what shes up to.
When she enters in the house and closes the door, Liz Hands Misty a bag of money and Misty smiles at her, then picks up her Daughter Zara and spins her around with her in the Air and plays with her.
“Holy crap, shes working 2 jobs to Help Misty support her kid” Ryan said while looking through the window.
“I’ve could have told you that” Kannell said Calmly.
“Oh, that’s right, you pretty much get shit faced every night at the Inn” Ryan said in jokingly.
“That’s Right!” She said in a proud tone.
“Well let’s head back home” He told her.
“Hang on, come with me I got some Things I need to get for Zephyr” She said while pulling out a List.
The two walk into some shops and grab more candles, More cleaning Supplies, Some soap, and some Girl stuff like makeup and Perfume. Then she walks with Ryan to the Back side of the town. There was a Shop That said Ye ole Love Shack (Lvl +18 Only!) Ryan Frowned at this place. He wondered what goddess Could ever put such a place in here in this game and wondered why it was in a Bunnellian Town. It was kind of Ironic how he was just Judged by a whole bunch of Bunnellian “Clerics” just a few hours ago just to find such a place here.
He Frowns at Kannell as she walks inside like it was all normal and stuff. He didn’t want to go inside because of 2 reasons: 1: He’s never been inside one since he just hit 18 not that long ago, and 2: He thought it was weird and Didn’t really want to express his sexuality. When She went inside, she tried to drag him in as a joke. But Ryan was Scared to go inside such a Naughty place. Kannell smiles at him and goes in anyway and he sits down and plays with his phone.
He noticed he gained 2 levels somehow, After the fight with Liz’s Aunt. It was weird since he was dead, the whole fight, but still managed to get Experience and credit for the fight.
“Well I did put a few attacks in” He thought to himself.
He noticed he had a 5 Skill points he could use. He puts 2 points in Vitality, 2 points in Precision, and 1 point in Strength
He then Hit Enter and felt the “Level Up” Light-headed Rush feeling.
His Stats were now
Vitality 23 Strength 14 Intel 30 Agility 14 Spirit 15 Spell power: 10 Precision: 4 Armor Rating 0 Mobility: 100
Luck 30 Resistance: None universal Skill/Spell Improvement: N/A
He had 1,840 Hit points and still had 3000 in mana Reserves.
When he looks at his stats, he’s amazed by looking at his luck. It has changed from 10 to 30! But he also looks at his Resistance boost and it didn’t say 5% universal anymore. He wondered what has changed.
After this was over, Kannell comes out of the “Adult” store with a bag full of mysterious things.
“So, who are those for?” he asked her cautiously while putting his phone away.
“Oh, there are some things for all of us girls in here. Liz wanted to replace some things of her’s since Villano Island Sank to the bottom of the ocean, Zephyr wanted a Leash and some Lingerie, and I got…Something for me. She said while giggling.
“Also, Liz told me the lady in here also makes some really good cookies, so I bought some from her.” She told him. While she Picks up the Other bags of items they bought together.
Ryan sits back and wonders what Zephyr needs a Leash and Lingerie for.
The two gather around each other and then Teleport Home.
When they got to the Manson, it was 7pm. They walk inside and Zephyr was wearing her maid outfit and talking to Kyle, and someone else who was wearing a hood.
He looks at the other person and thinks to himself why this hooded girl looked so familiar.
Both of them were Reciting a Prayer set by Zephyr. Then they Draw a Unicursal Hexagram over their hearts and bow their Heads. Suddenly a Green Leaf Emoji appears above their heads and They heard what sounded the Windows XP Start up theme Hovering a in the Air above them.
“Oh, Shes Funny” Ryan said in regards to what Arcadia chose for her Indoctrination Hymn.
“So, remind me again what do I have to do to keep her happy?” The woman with the Tan Hood asked Zephyr.
“She wants is you to live your life normally as you would every day. All She Really wants is you to keep her in your heart and asks for just a little bit of faith. That’s all” Zephyr replied to her.
“She doesn’t ask for anything in return for The Experience boost?” The woman asked her.
Suddenly Ryan thinks hard about what she said. “Hey, Wait a Minute, Windows XP Startup theme? And she gives you a 5% XP boost? Okay I get it. Shes a Smart, Clever Little Ruski” Ryan said inside his head.
“Yes, Nothing Special is needed from You” Zephyr Responds to her.
“So, does she require I Stay away from Chocolate, Spicy food, and Poutine?” The Girl asks her.
“No, you can do whatever you want like I said earlier. Wait Bunnell doesn’t let you eat Chocolate?” Zephyr asked while seeming shocked.
“Yes, we are not to eat the Devils Delicious Chocolate, ever since Yulee sent Bunnell a Truce basket full of Chocolate dipped Turds, we been Prohibited from eating it” She explained to Zephyr.
Ryan was sitting in the back of the Room laughing quietly. “That must have been one hell of an Unboxing Video” Ryan said quietly to himself.
“Whats the Deal with sex? Are we Forced to not let our husbands not waste his seed on the floor?” She asks Zephyr.
“No? Hang on, Does She have a religious guideline on that?” Zephyr asked seeming shocked.
“Yes, you see for as destructive Yulee is, we lose a lot of people in battle, So She requests Every last Drop of our man’s Seed not be wasted. We Females Are expected to provide Children After a war is over to replace our Followers that we have lost. We can’t have “Immoral” Sex. Everything’s Gotta go in the Right hole and there is no exceptions” She said while sounding Sad.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Arcadia is a Combination of Yulee and Bunnell, But shes all about that Free spirit nature. So, don’t worry if you want to be slutty like Yulee. She wont judge, and you won’t make her Cry” Zephyr told her while clearly trying not to laugh at this Brainwashed girl.
“Okay” The girl said while Pulling off her hood. At that moment, Ryan knew who the girl was. It was Sydney from the Temple.
“Oh hey, how are you doing?” Ryan Asks her.
“Good. I left that church after we last talked. My brother her helped convince me to quit with him, I’m so excited to live a life full of Freedom now, and not have to worry about Yulee turning my soul into a Demon if I die” She said while giving him a Flirty Smile.
“I’m So glad to see you again, Hey, Now I am not Bound by my old church, There is something I been Wanting to Really, Really, Try that would of make Bunnell Cry, Even if I was married” She said while running her hand up and over his Ear.
Zephyr See’s this, and Wonder whats she is doing.
“Which room is yours?” She said while grabbing his hand and pulling him into the hallway.
“Oh, the last one on the Left” He said as she drug him down the hallway.
That’s when Zephyr figured it out. She gets Extreamly Pissed rans in front of them and blocked her advance.
“Umm Hell Fucking no!” Zephyr screamed while Wagging her finger at Ryan.
“Nice Try Ryan. You know better! Plus, that’s Lindsay’s room.” She said while Crossing her arms.
“Wait I’m Confused. Is this not your Home?” Sydney asked Ryan.
“No, Its Zephyrs” He Replies back to her.
“Oh Okay. We could Always try it outside.” The Woman said with a Devious Look on her face.
She then Kiss’s Him in front of her.
Zephyr Gets in between them and pins the other girl to the wall in a Threating way.
“You look here! I know Bunnell Requires it so you had to wait until marriage, and I know your Edger to live a Life that doesn’t believe in a lot of sins, but You listen here, The only Rule Arcadia has in life is Don’t touch Ryan. You got that? If you Touch him, you will make her cry and she won’t love you anymore You understand that?” Zephyr said while going from an Angry tone, to a Mega church Preacher tone in 1.5 secs.
“Oh, I am so sorry I just thought when he kissed me earlier today, he was single. He’s kind of cute, and brave, and he doesn’t give a shit. This makes him so attractive Lady Thickmane” She said with an innocent Naive tone while hanging her head in shame.
Zephyr Slowly turns her head at Ryan and gives him A pissed off look.
“He Did What???!!!” She screamed at Ryan.
“He Kissed me at the Bunnell temple after Bunnell wouldn’t let him Into the Faction” She told her.
Zephyr then shoots him “That Crazy Look”
She lets go of Sydney and Charges after Ryan; He tries to run away but she already got a Hold on him. She throws him against the wall and Pulls down his pants in front of her.
They all Stare at the “Property of Zephyr Sentry Thickmane. No Trespassing!” Carving he had above his Junk.
“Oh my, I didn’t know. Look Lady Thickmane I am sorry, thank you for forgiving me! I’ll go look somewhere else. I didn’t mean to upset you by wanting to do unholy sex with your husband.” She said with her Naive tone.
“Whoa, we are not married, we aren’t even Together. We are just Friends with Benefits!” Ryan Cried out trying to defend his honor.
“Your Already in Hot water Ryan! So be quiet! Or your sleeping in the Doghouse tonight!” She said while Grabbing a Leash out of the Sex shop bag. She then Holds it in her hand in an angry threating way.
“You aint going to do shit Zephyr, so don’t even try!” Ryan said in an Angry Tone.
Hearing what sounds like an Invitation to Start shit, Zephyr Comes around behind him with the Leash and Chocks him with it and covers his mouth so he can’t Speak. While She was chocking him, he was trying really hard to escape from her, but she was Really Overpowered somehow.
“Look My child, Arcadia will forgive you for your sins if you do her this one Request. She wants You to go into town tonight before the Gates close at 9, and Share the gospel to every woman in town, that: “Ryan Glasser Has a Small Wiener” Zephyr Preached in a Calm convincing vindictive way.
Ryan Hears this and wants to interject, but Cant.
“Can you do this for me My child?” Zephyr asked her with a Smile.
“But he doesn’t have a small one, just look at it” Sydney said while pointing at it.
“Don’t Question your new gods Orders. Do this one request she will ever ask from you. She wants you to tell EVERYONE in town He has a small “Womb broom”, Tell every woman, Even Old lady Judith. Can you do this for me?” Zephyr asked with a Smile on her face.
“Old Lady Judith? You mean the nice little Yuleeian woman who owns the Lvl 18+ Adult store in the back of Dank Alley?”
“Yes, her too” Zephyr Requested.
“Yes ma’am! I’ll get right to it! She said with a smile on her face.
“Alrighty, Have fun! Be safe going home!” Zephyr said as she waved to both of them as they walked out the door. Kyle was just shaking his head and giving Ryan a “I’m Sorry Dude” Bro look as he walked out.
As soon as they walked out the door Zephyr lets go of Ryan, and he Goes and tries to chase after Sydney and tell her she was joking but he forgot his pants were down and ends up falling on his face.
“Kannell you don’t mind cooking dinner for me, do you?” She asked while she walks over to the bag and pulls out a whip.
Ryan’s Eyes Shoot open in Fear. He know knows what Liz wanted Replaced.
“Your Ass is mine Honey!” She said in an Angry tone.
Suddenly there was Knock on the door.
Zephyr walks over to it and answers the door. She was holding the leash and the whip in her hand while Wearing her Maid Outfit when she answered the door. At the door was a Tax Collector Official from the Kingdom of Tourterra. The woman was Zephyrs Height and wore glasses and she was wearing a Blue and Orange Dress. She was holding a Clip board that had a thick stack of papers in it. She had long brown hair in a Bun, and she had a Dagger on her right hip.
“Good evening Lady Thickmane. How are you tonight?” She asked in a Polite way. All of a sudden, she notices The Leash and the Whip in her hand and Notices Ryan is on the ground screaming into the ground in Embarrassment with what Sydney is going to do when she gets into town. Along with the fact his Pants her pulled down and his ass was clearly visible. She then looks at the Maid Uniform Zephyr was wearing and Smiles.
“I’m not interrupting you… am I? The lady asks feeling a little Awkward.
“No, I was just about to beat his ass”” Zephyr said while smiling at her.
“Oh, lady Thickmane, I didn’t know you were into that kind of stuff. Don’t worry I won’t judge”
She told Zephyr with a Sincere Smile.
Zephyr was confused, but when she looks at her hands and looks at Ryan with his pants down, she gasps in embarrassment.
“It’s not what is looks like. I swear” She Told her while blushing.
“Like I said I wont judge.” She said with a Professional tone.
“So, I was sent here, because Garrison told me you bought this property from him. You bought it for a Discounted Tax Value for 1.5 Million gold am I right?” She told her Calmly.
“Yes, mam I did Why whats Wrong?” She asked her seeming confused.
“You wouldn’t mind putting that Whip and Leash, down would you?” She asks her in a Polite tone
“Sure, hang on, come on in” She said as she walks by Ryan. She kicks him in the ass, and he pulls his pants up.
She places the items in the bag and sits down on the couch next to her.
“Well the house is Valued at 4 million Gold, and you only payed 1.5 million Gold for it. Garrison paid us the remainder of the closing and back taxes we cut a nice deal on, but I was sent out here to talk to you about the Property, and the Taxes that go along with it.” She said while looking into the dining room and watching Kannell Drink some wine and peel shrimp.
“Umm okay?” Zephyr asked Seeming confused.
“Almighty let me break down the taxes of this wonderful little Property.
This place is close to the beach, you have a Gorgeous private lake in the back yard, and you own about over a Square mile of land that this thing sits on. This all puts this Home in the 30% tax Rate bracket the Kingdom has. This means You will need to pay 1,600,000 Gold in Property Taxes every year. Will you have enough to cover that?” The Tax lady asked her.
Suddenly Zephyr started panicking.
“Um no? I thought I was just going to buy this house and not have to worry about taxes” She said in a Concerned tone.
“Wait 40%? That’s Fucking bullshit!” She Screamed.
The lady just smiles at her and pushes her glasses in. She then pulls out a Piece of paper and shows her the rates of the land.
“Yes, unfortunately You have to pay taxes on this” She told her in a Calm tone.
“My Bounty money I got from Vedra Wont last that long! Maybe a year, or If I really start grinding for money maybe 2 years tops, and that’s about it!” She said while screaming at her.
“Hang on, can you cut me a Tax break? I am an Ambassador from the Kingdom of Wyozonia After All!” She said while trying to get Desperate.
“No Unfortunately we can’t. We are glad you are hear as a Show of force against The Disturbia Anarchy Movement, that’s been Spreading like a Disease throughout the Southern half of Sivika, and Western part of Eyefore, but we can’t offer a discount to you” She said while noticing Her hostility.
“That’s bullshit! Who was here for you guys when the last global war happened? Who was here when Cheetoechhi sent out 100 Warbirds out in the middle of the night and bombed Port of Tempo? Who was here for you? Us. We were! So, you better give me a tax break!” She shouts seeming extreamly pissed.
“No, I can’t do that. Only Tourterraian born Royals get a tax break, Hell they don’t have to pay any taxes at all, but I can’t Cut you a break. Look I was just sent you to tell you about this. Hopefully you can get your financial situation straightened out in a year. But I am going to go head back into town before they close the gates at 9pm. I am very grateful I can walk home and not have to worry about demons at night Thanks to you. Personally, I think you deserve a Tax break for that, but I don’t write the rules. I just enforce them” She told Zephyr while standing up and smiling at her.
She then walks out the door and Zephyr Slams the door behind her.
“HAHA! Karma is a Bitch Zephyr!” Ryan said while Laughing.
She shoots him an angry look then Grabs him by the Shirt and Drags him upstairs.
While she drug him upstairs, every single Stair she pulled him up hurt him, but when she got to their room, she slammed the door.
When she slammed the door, you could hear Kannell Sarcastically yelling: “Remember girl its all in the Wrist!”
She then gets back to Cooking the shrimp on the woodfire stove they had.
