I woke up lazily with a breast in my hand. I teased the nipple and watched as Laetitia bit down on her lip. I wasn’t about to have sex though, rather I needed to have a conversation.
“I love you,” I started. “but we need to talk about how this is going to work.”
Laetitia adopted a slightly worried look. “I have duties as a god, I need to improve other villages.”
Laetitia looked a little puzzled as she said “I understand.”
“Those villages need high priestesses too.”
That threw her for a loop. After a long pause she said. “You mean you’re going to be intimate with other women?”
“I have to be. The world needs heroes and heroines. It needs high priestesses.” Laetitia went through a range of emotions quickly. First annoyance, then a sad brooding acceptance. It broke my heart to see her like that.
Finally, with a quivering shaky voice she said “I understand.”
“What we have is still special and I want to preserve it. I mean it when I say I love you,” I said doing my best to reassure her.
Laetitia seemed slightly more settled. But, I still had a bomb to drop. I loved Clynaea too. “I can’t promise other women won’t be special to me too, but that doesn’t take away from what we have.”
Laetitia raised her voice as signs of annoyance flashed onto her face. “How does it not?” she said caustically.
I didn’t have a great answer. I just spoke from the heart. “Does loving your mom mean you love your dad less? It’s not just familial love that can be like that. My having feelings for another is different from my having feelings for you. It adds new experiences to my life and those experiences can make me a better man, someone you can love all the more.”
“it’s not the same.” Laetitia spoke disagreement, but the bitterness of her voice was gone. I suspected she had started to understand my argument but wasn’t ready to accept it.
“I should have told you sooner, I just didn’t know how to talk about it. I’m sorry for that. But I can’t change what I have to do, and it wouldn’t be honest to not let it affect how I feel.”
“I suppose wanting to have a god to myself is a bit selfish”, Laetitia said reluctantly.
“It’s understandable, and part of me wishes it could be. If I were mortal and didn’t have my duties I’d be very happy sharing my whole life with you. Instead, I can only come when my duties permit. It’s expensive for me to travel to Earth and I need to have a purpose for every visit. No, not that purpose, something that benefits the whole village.”
Laetitia sighed. “I feel a little silly falling in love with a god. I don’t quite regret it, but I find myself woefully unprepared for being away from you so often. You certainly make it challenging. But I still love you, so I suppose I’ll have to make it work, even if I’m not happy about it.”
“I discovered I can teleport while on Earth, so I might be able to visit more often, spend a night after time at another village.”
Laetitia’s eyes brightened. “That would be nice, I hope I can convince you to do it often.”
“You already have,” I said with a warm smile. I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead as she looked up at me, her face brightening and some of her warmth returning.
I wasn’t exactly in the mood for more sex, we’d had plenty the night before and the conversation hadn’t made me feel more sexual. Instead, I made my clothes reappear and Laetitia got dressed. We exited the hut, and joined the village community, sharing a breakfast.
I exchanged parting greetings with Aldon, Tifa, Linus and other villagers. Finally, I told Laetitia I’d be back when I could be and kissed her goodbye. I vanished back to my god palace.
My thoughts turned to the world and my next steps within it. The world was 32x as large as Earth. The 500 villages were scattered throughout the world, too far for any contact or trade. I knew that the next villages I wanted to go to needed metal, preferably steel. They also needed to have at least 4 skilled warriors. I had decided to continue the plan of setting up dungeons and going raiding. I wanted my world to continue getting stronger, and I wanted to start a legacy of cultivation that would require skills and techniques. My only path was forward.
I decided to add a mild predator to my food chain, a boar. I carefully discussed the ramifications with my assistant and confirmed that 2 attack and 2 defence on an omnivore out in the world would be substantially weaker than 1 attack and 1 defence on a monster in even the weakest dungeon.

My points dropped down to 135. I needed to save at least 35 to travel to a village twice, populate the dungeon, populate a forest and populate the boar. Realistically, I wanted to be able to do that multiple times, so I held off on developing anything more.
I mulled over my options for villages. Clynaea’s village had steel but no tin, and four strong warriors. Unfortunately, two of them were Clynaea’s father and Marcus. I wasn’t sure what lasting impact I’d had on those two and whether they were ready to risk their lives in my team. Eventually, I decided I was up for the challenge. Mostly, I wanted Clynaea’s village to do well, and having it be the 2nd village to get these things could be a key part of its success.
It was noon by the time I had finished my planning. This meant the villagers were mostly working in the fields and scattered away from their homes. I needed to arrive in the morning before they left to execute my plans so I waited for the next day.
During that time, I spied on several villages, planning where to put my 3rd and 4th dungeons. I also asked my assistant about natural resources and found out I could seed them for 5 points each. This simplified my life as it meant I could give every village at least iron ore. I vowed to ask my assistant more questions, as I had been something of a solitary planner and thus missed important information.
Finally, I went down to Clynaea’s village. In my absence, they had named the village Gods Landing in honor of my first visit to the planet. I wasn’t entire sure how I felt about that but I supposed it was a good sign. I asked the chief, Warrel, to gather the villagers as I had something important to discuss.
When everyone was gathered, I went through the motions of creating a forest, a dungeon and seeding the area with boar. I also created a tin deposit near the village. I received two notifications for my troubles:
You have seeded the first omnivore on your world. You have received 100 points.
You have seeded the first new resource deposit on your world. You have received 100 points.
I was glad for the extra points but knew the notification bonuses wouldn’t last forever. I got down to business right away and showed the villagers how to use metal to make weapons, armor and tools. It all went similarly to how it did in Laetitia’s village.
Finally, I did something new. We used an iron axe to chop down a tree. It took many villagers to lug the huge thing back to camp. We also brought back a sapling that was about 1 and ¼ inch thick. I made the sapling into a spear shaft and inserted a spearhead made of iron into it. We also carved the large tree into wooden planks. I showed them how planks could be used to build wooden floors and walls, and they figured out the rest of building houses.
It was nearing evening by the time we were done. I had several more notifications for my trouble.
You have spread a technology to a new village. You have received 5 points.

I gifted Marcus the spear I had made. He still wasn’t happy with me but he wasn’t staring daggers into my back after that. I knew I’d need to rely on him in a week so I tried to mend bridges as much as possible.
I pulled aside Marcus, Clynaea’s father Melius, Clynaea, and the village leader Alicia. I explained that the five of us would need to run a dungeon in the week and that I needed them to spend the time training their weapons. They had many questions and I told them I’d show them how to train after dinner. We ate dinner in the village and got to the hard work of training.
We started with weapon usage right from the basics of grip. Clynaea grasped things the fastest and once she was good with the sword I had her teach Melius and Alicia. Meanwhile I worked on the spear with Marcus, showing him the thrusts and sweeps that made up my spear art. I wasn’t able to teach the foundation spear technique as I hadn’t mastered it yet, but by the end of the day he knew the very basics of the spear. We sparred for practice, and I fought at a level that let him adjust to me letting him train for a while before I beat him soundly, tripping him with my spear and aiming its head at his throat. I think I earned his respect as a warrior. I knew he’d never be a friend, but I started to think we weren’t enemies anymore either.
Daylight faded and we fought by qi light, something that would be valuable for getting used to conditions in the dungeons. Finally, we all were exhausted and ready for bed. Clynaea invited me to her hut and I gladly accepted. She kissed me passionately as soon as we were in private. I kissed back while pulling off her furs. Our kiss broke and I stepped back to admire her naked body. I had her dance for me, showing off her magnificent curves as she shook and swayed to whatever music was inside her lovely mind. Her nipples hardened as she presented her body to me. She stood in front of me swaying her wide child-bearing hips. I was ensorcelled, captivated by her every movement.
Finally, I grabbed her, pushing her to the ground. She spread her legs eagerly and her wet snatch invited me forward. I vanished my clothes and my erect cock jutted out proudly. My hand guided it into her, feeling her wetness as her cunt lips spread and her tight hole started to pull me in. I pushed firmly and slid in deep. I smiled at her and unlike the last time I had her decided to be more vocal.
“You like that don’t you.”
“Mmm hmmm," she affirmed what her eyes had already told me.
“I want you to beg for it.”
Clynaea was a natural when it came to dirty talk. “Please fuck me. I need it. I need your cock pounding inside me.” Her voice had a sultry lust-filled quality to it that amplified the effect of her words.
She didn’t have to ask twice. I started bucking my hips and thrusting with my pelvis, getting a good motion going as her wet hole lubricated my cock, giving it a glistening sheen. I could hear the sloppy sounds of her cunt lips rubbing on my cock, I could hear her wetness. I could tell she was close. I wasn’t ready to cum yet, so I decided to try and give her two orgasms.
“Do you want to cum? Ask me for permission.”
“Please may I cum. I’m so close. I want it so badly.”
I looked her in the eyes. “Cum for me.”
“Oh Damian, I’m cumming,” she said before her voice was reduced to moans. Her orgasm lasted a full 15 seconds, 15 seconds of moaning, shaking and writhing on my cock. I was close soon after. I played with her nipples, stimulating them roughly, feeling them get harder between my fingertips. I moved one hand lower, sliding my fingers over her belly and lower still, down to her hole. I rubbed my fingertips, getting her wetness on them before touching and stroking her clit. Her eyes lit up as I touched her sensitive bud. She responded by speeding up the pace as she ground her cunt against my crotch, thrusting her pelvis to meet mine. I continued to play with that delightful nub, watching as it tipped the scales.
A playful smirk drew across my face as I told her, “Want to ask me again?”
She locked her gaze with mine, smiled and said, “Please may I cum with you. You drive me wild. I want to cum again for you.”
It took all my restraint to not cum from the sultry voice and naughty words. Instead I looked her in the eyes and waited till the start of my orgasm. I could see a brief hint of disappointment flash onto her face as she felt my cock shoot thinking she’d be denied. But right as that disappointment hit, I said “Cum now, as hard as you can.” To her credit she obeyed. Her orgasm shook us both for nearly 20 seconds. Finally, she lay on her back her eyes glazed over with bliss. When we could finally move, we cuddled and fell asleep.
