Chapter 5

Reality check

The hallways were cold and damp. There were no windows to speak of just dark moldy drains. I assumed the drains were meant for water but I had a feeling it was for something else. It was never a good sign when a basement was made of stone and had a drain in the middle.

I sat in front of a cell on a heavily oxidized rusty metal chair. My feet were an inch off the floor so technically they were dangling. I was starting to think I might be a very short nine year old. It was one thing to dangle from the giant guild leader chair. It was another to dangle from this rusty thing. I refuse to admit that I’m younger than nine.

Often In times of waiting I’d hear my demon whispering worrying things into my ear. This was one of those times. I might need a tetanus shot. Now that I think about it I’m technically not vaccinated. Vaccines don’t exist here.

How strong could my immune system be considering I’d only just gotten this body. Was I gonna die? Smallpox, anthrax, Ebola. Hell, I could die from something as simple as the common cold. There might even be new diseases I’ve never heard of.

Oh look out everyone jimmy’s got the wyzner virus! There he goes don’t let him shit on ya. It’ll make you poop razor blades for days. It was possible. This is a world with magic after all. Just imagine the insane magical diseases you could get.

There's probably a sexual disease that makes your dick fall off and start talking. If my dick could talk I’d be in trouble. All the abuse it’s taken over the years. There’s no way I wouldn’t be hanged. Frankly I don’t think there’s a single man that doesn’t have an abusive relationship with his penis.

Well, I don't have a dick so that's not really an issue. Whatever, I haven’t gotten a flu shot in years so did it really matter? I already have to much to worry about. Best not to think about it.

The silence seemed to drag on exposing background noise you’d normally ignore. The sound of water slowly dripping onto the stone floor was becoming more uncanny by the minute.

In the cell in front of me was my creepy uncle. He was still passed out. I could hear him slowly breathing. He looked so calm when sleeping. Hard to believe how much of a flaming shit bag he was. We managed to save his life and a few of the bigger NPCs helped us drag him to the dungeon.

There weren’t any guards or officers, no wardens either. It was just me and Mantis. Oh, and the nasty toilet that was also covered in rust. If anyone was gonna get a tetanus infection it’d probably be Mantis. I should get him a new toilet seat.

One of those plastic cushion ones. There cold at first then warm up the moment you sit on them. There also super easy to clean. That was until the plastic cracked and you started getting piss and shit inside the cushion. It’s still the best especially if your taking a shit in the middle of the night.

Hmm… I suppose I was gonna be sitting from now on. I should invest in a few for the castle. This place is so cold. Every toilet feels like your sitting on a block of ice. Last thing I want is to have to call for Shadow because my butt was stuck to the toilet.

It could happen! Your taking a piss, your butt gets wet, next thing you know your trying to pry yourself from a toilet seat that wants nothing more than your bodily fluids and wont take no for an answer.

Can anyone say toilet boss from hell. No you cant! cause by the time you say “toi—" your ass is dead. Toilet shark. Surprise, surprise, the toilets got razor sharp teeth, and an invasive tentacle tongue. Guess where the tongue is going. You don’t want to know. Turns out it’s not a toilet boss at all. It’s a toilet mimic and you fell for its trap.

My brain was doing that thing again. I need to stop and focus. Like, what was I supposed to do with this idiot. We were supposed to rehabilitate this guy and turn him into an outstanding citizen. At least that's what your supposed to do with prisoners… or could I consider him a war criminal?

The rules were different for those guys. No, he was more of an illegal immigrant. If I deport him there's nothing to keep him from coming back. The borders are wide open. Anyone can waltz in. Especially since there aren't any soldiers.

Soldiers are to expensive and time consuming. Not to mention any high level player can just come along and slaughter them before they ever get past level one. Though, in this world they'll be summoned fully trained. I’ll put a pin in that one.

Mantis couldn't be deported. Besides, I couldn't just set him free onto another unsuspecting person. What kind of sentence do people usually get for kidnapping two kids?

Well… I mean attempting to kidnap two kids. It’s different depending on the state your in. Am I allowed to give him the chair or maybe the injection?

I hear in some places they’ll let you go out via firing squad. That sounded pretty badass. If it was me I’d choose that one. It’d hurt like hell but at least you'd go out with some balls.

I Should of killed him. It would have been so much easier. Just one more second and his blood would be…. All over my hands. Dam, I’d almost killed him. What the hell’s wrong with me.

I put my head in my hands. What the hell was I doing, I’m no judge, no jury. How could I govern the lives of others when I didn’t even know how to do taxes.

There had to be someone else….. no…. there wasn’t. This was my empire. It was my land. My law. I couldn’t let him walk free. Not after what he tried to do.

This really wasn’t a game anymore. I can’t do this. I’m not smart enough. I’m not a leader. I‘m not strong. Why do I have this power? I shouldn’t have power over people. I’m not the type of person you’d want in charge. I’m just plain incompetent.

Guild leader, yeah right! Mao did all of the empire stuff. Eco, rhyme, and Luca were way better gamers. Why was I the guild leader. It was…. I don’t know. I can’t remember how it happened. The job kind of just fell on me. No one ever said anything about it. No one ever demanded I make them guild leader.

That was when this was a game though. The role didn't hold as much weight as it does now. There’s no way I could be trusted to run the guild. I need to pass the job off to Mao. I’m pretty much worthless. The only value I have. No, fuck that. The only value I had is gone. I’m no longer the ripper. Just a tiny girl with freakish strength and speed.

Oh right, and crazy nature bending magic. Magic… that can destroy entire cities…. Okay, maybe I’m not that weak but I’m still not stronger than the other high level players. I even needed Shadow’s help with that stupid harpy. I could feel tears budding in the corners of my eyes. I wanna be useful to.

I felt a hand on my head. It was warm and gentle. There was… a voice…. A whisper… something below the volume of mute. Just a feeling. “It’ll be okay.” It seemed to soothe the hole inside me.

Once my head was clear I came to my senses and felt a wave of panic rush through me. It startled me and I looked up. There was no one there. Some kind of ghost?

I lifted my hand and pointed my open palm down the hall. “purification!” I activated the sacred art purification. It belonged to the cleric class.

A powerful light erupted from my palm. It filled the hall with its radiant glow. The ability only lasted a few seconds before it vanished. Whatever ghost had touched my head was long gone. I Wasn't sure if there actually was one, but I wanted to make sure. The amount of ghost based mobs in TEO was one to many.

That feeling, I know I felt something. I wanted to run out screaming but was petrified with fear. There was some groaning from the cell next to me. It spooked me making me jump up to my feet. I almost used purification again when I noticed it was just uncle Mantis.

Relief washed over me as he rose up. I felt so happy now that I wasn’t alone. Even if that company was a creepy neckbeard. Wait…. How did I use purification just now? It wasn’t in my hot bar…. This also happened while I was fighting Mantis. Questions for later.

The moon elf sat up and looked around. He spotted me, a look of hate corrupting his elven face. I watched as he reached into his inventory and brought out what looked like a shotgun.

A quick scan showed me it was a KSG-25. I wonder why he hadn’t used it in our fight. It was pointed at the bars. Was he gonna shoot his way out? He pulled the trigger and the gun rocked back unleashing a powerful round.

The loud bang terrified me. It rang out through my skull as it rattled my bones. The hot beebees hit a magical blue barrier spreading out but doing nothing. He continued emptying the shotgun, but couldn’t get through. It only held ten rounds.

Technically it had twenty three inch shells but shot them out in twos. There was no escape. The cell was draining his focus. With no focus there was no way for him to break free. His focus re-gen kept the barrier powered. Even without it the guild core would make sure the cell stayed active.

It would even heal his wounds and cast cleanse getting rid of de-buffs and any sweat, dirt, or bodily fluids. The cell would also use reset removing any buffs he might have. He couldn’t kill himself Or escape.

The only real escape would be if I let him out. In-game you could only hold a player captive for twelve in-game days. That was about an hour in the real world. Of course in the new world I could keep him there indefinitely. There was no time limit on his release.

Healing jade magic washed over him. The gun had damaged his ears. I used a quick heal on myself getting rid of the ringing in my head.

“Set me free you foul demoness!” Now he was calling me a demon. I wonder what it was like to live in your delusions like that. It sounded like fun. A bit embarrassing but fun.

A person that lived in there delusions couldn’t see the embarrassment from acting like an idiot. It was like when I was a kid and played pretend. I remember it being rather enjoyable.

Maybe this guy never grew up. I could have him all wrong and really he was just a five year old kid with an over active imagination. He’d be almost the reverse of me. That would explain some of his behavior. Then again he seemed a bit pervy for that.

On the other hand some boys could be pretty pervy. Even at such a young age. It wasn’t uncommon. There were even a few girls in a similar mindset. I was reminded of my cousin Ashley. When we were kids she did all kinds of weird stuff to me.

I had no idea what was going on but it felt nice. Once she got older she became one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met.

Back then neither one of us knew any better. We never talked about what she did to me to this day and just pretend like it never happened. It was for the best considering how taboo it was and the fact she now has a husband with not one but two kids.

“Stop. I know your angry but I'll have you know I saved your life. You were just about dead after our fight. I could have let you die but I saved you.” He put the shotgun away and sat on the hard floor.

A creepy smile etched itself onto his face. “GG man. You got me good. Now let me out. I got things to do. Places to be.” He was out of character. Was this the real him? It was almost like he was roleplaying before.

“You tried to kidnap two young girls. Me included. I think you need help.” He looked a bit nervous.

“That was…. You don't understand I was just larping. My sister will clear things up she’s headed this way. If she finds out I was captured she'll kill you. Besides this is just a game. Who cares none of this is real. So what if I did some bad things it doesn’t even count.“

When things got to real he jumped back into reality and tried to play it off as a silly joke. Like when my so called friend fucked my sister. I could still remember his words. “Oh, it was just a joke bro. Sorry I banged your sister. It was for a funny video bro. Could you tell her thanks and that we should see other people. We're still cool right? Let me borrow twenty bucks.” Fucking asshole.

“I saw what you did to James. He was really messed up man. I had to use two healing sacred arts on him just to get him to stabilize. Your larping caused him serious injuries.” My eyes fell upon Mantis exuding a pressure that made him squirm.

He looked even more nervous now. “There NPCs! You can't hold me accountable for fake people! This is just a game! Let me out or I’m calling the cops man!” He excused himself from all wrong doing because he didn’t believe they were real people. The mind could rationalize all kinds of things.

Frankly I couldn’t blame him for not realizing this wasn’t a game. I thought the same thing until I met the NPCs. However, I really didn’t like his response. There was something in his voice that didn’t sit right with me. There was a hint of entitlement, and smugness. I hated people like that. And what did he mean he was calling the cops? There are no cops. The only law is my law. He pissed me the hell off. The more he spoke the more I wanted to hurt him.

“They're alive like you and me! You'd know that if you'd actually talked to them! James’s wife Linda hasn’t gotten out of bed for over a year now! She's been sick all that time! Then your stupid ass goes and almost kills her husband! You’d better pray to whatever God you believe in because if she takes a turn for the worst! I’ll make you wish I killed you on that roof top! Ill beat you as bad as you beat James. I can just heal you afterwards and we can start all over! Again and again!” Tears threatened to spill as I stared deep into Mantis’s eyes.

My body wouldn't stop trembling. My anger, and raged boiled inside me. The hole demanded sustenance. It demanded blood. I could end him right here right now. It would be so easy. It would be like kicking a puppy to death.

Mantis shook his head trying to dismiss my words. “You’re a liar! You just want to keep me here for some stupid power trip! Well, I know what your all about and I’m not playing your game! My sister will be here soon and then you’ll be sorry!”

How could he be so awful. Didn't he realize how many people he was hurting. I was done with this guy. I’d bring him food but I wouldn’t talk to him. Once I find a way home I won’t need to worry about it. He’ll lose all his power and go back to being a nobody.

I turned towards the exit and walked away. It took everything I had not to unlock the cell and start punching. He said all sorts of things but I ignored him. Arguing with a fool only made you look like a fool. Besides, I had much bigger matters to attend to.

I felt a pressure in what I assumed was my bladder. I’ve been needing to use the toilet ever since we started touring the city but I was dreading the moment I’d need to actually do it.

As time went on the feeling got worse and I was at the point where I really needed to go. My anxiety made it impossible for me to bring it up. I couldn’t ask the NPCs for their restrooms, and Shadow seemed to always make things worse with her teasing. There was no way I could just say it out loud.

The toilets in the cells were really rusty and I really didn’t want to sit on one. It wasn't like I could hover over it. I was short and I wasn’t sure if I could get the angle right. I've never really seen a girl pee before so I wasn’t sure where it would come out, or even if it would be a stream or not.

The fact that one needed to wipe afterwards told me it wasn't a perfect stream. Hell, even guys had to shake off the last few drops. It seemed like it would be even more messy without the hose. I could always use one of the drains. Each drain was set up in the middle of the corridor about thirty feet apart so there were plenty of options.

I’d need to use some of my clothes as toilet paper seeing as women had to wipe. The more I thought about it, the more my anxiety got the better of me. It got so bad that I was on the verge of crying. I couldn’t do it.

Why not though? I’ve peed in worse places than a drain. Like the bed, the sink, behind a dumpster, on my friend that one time, in a cup, my wife’s purse, and even in that sand box at the park. I really regret the last one. In my defense I was sixteen and really drunk. Why was I so afraid to piss in a drain? The more I agonized over it the worse I had to go. Stop thinking about it and find a toilet!

I wobbled my way out of the dungeon, and ran into Shadow. She was standing just outside the entrance. I’d asked her to give me some time alone with Mantis and she agreed once I convinced her I wouldn’t kill the guy. behind her was the stairs that lead up into the castle. I still needed to climb them and wander around just to find a restroom. The thought made my bladder twitch and my body trembled to keep it all inside.

Shadow gave me a worried look. “Are you alright master?” She gave me a head pat. I must of looked pathetic. Her touch made my bladder squirm so much so, that I almost let the flood gates open. I couldn't let her catch on.

I could only imagine what she’d do if she found out I had to use the restroom. I could already hear her giving me embarrassing but supportive instructions on how to properly wipe. She might even want to be in the room with me. I’d much rather die.

“I’m fine now. Thank you for waiting.” I squirmed under her gaze. I wasn’t sure if things between us were okay. She stopped me from killing uncle Mantis so…. Was she mad? If she was, she wasn’t showing it. She pulled me out of my train of thought with a poke to my left cheek. I let out a strange noise that could be akin to a startled kitten. Then looked at her questioningly.

“Hey, so like…. I’ve been wondering. How did that creep carry you off like that? I didn’t get to see. He must of done something awfully sneaky.” Her gaze unleashed a pressure I couldn’t handle. My body went stiff and I looked to the floor. Sweat began to form. It didn't help that I needed to pee. Of all times why did she have to ask now.

“What is it. Did he do something horrible to you? I swear if he did something to you I’ll stab him, heal him, and repeat it over, and over again!” Her tail moved erratically like it wanted to wrap around Mantis's neck until he stopped breathing. It was nice to know her methods of torture were similar to my own. I had no choice but to tell her how I got captured. I really didn’t want to. It was so embarrassing. I’d much rather take it to the grave.

I murmured something out. It sounded like the soft whispers of my fleshy bed.

“What’s that master? Could you say that again?” I did a little louder but this time it was muffled by my hands. Don’t make me say it out loud. My body was trembling. I didn’t want to get scolded again. The candy was one thing. Please, not for something this stupid. I mean it’s not like it matters. Everything worked out and I’ve learned my lesson.

“Hmmm…. Did I hear that right? Could you say it one more time but don’t cover your mouth.” She was expressionless. She must of understood me but just couldn’t believe what had come out of my mouth. There was a bit of a twitch in her left eye and the gears in her head started to turn. I wanted to cry. Maybe I could just cry and she’ll feel sorry for me. Then again Mantis would probably suffer. He was a dick but war crimes were still war crimes.

“Well, you see…. I uh….He…. He snuck over…. and offered me candy. I was like. What, candy! He must be trying to apologize! You know. Cause he did those awful things and all… But… when I tried to take it, he snatched me up and ran away…. It happened so fast I didn't realize until we were on the roof tops! I’m way to forgiving. That’s always been my problem, you know…hehe. It was a silly mistake really. Could have happened to anyone. I've learned my lesson. Only take candy from strangers that won't kidnap you. Funny story right? Hehe.” I felt so stupid.

How could I have fallen for such a stupid thing. It was really Shadow’s fault. She took my candy away. If she hadn’t taken it all I wouldn’t have craved it. Yeah that’s what I’ll say to her.

Before I could get another word out I felt a hand grab me from my back and I was pulled over Shadow’s knee. Her knee put pressure on my bladder and I went stiff trying to hold it in. Since she grabbed me by the back of my dress. It ended up being hiked up over my waist revealing a pair of black Spanx shorts.

This position seemed familiar but…. it couldn't be…. right? This couldn’t be real! I squirmed trying to get away. The pressure put on my bladder was awful, but there was no way I was letting her do this to me! I could already feel tears forming in the corners of my eyes.

“You!” She smacked my bottom with the force of a high level player. “Do!” She hit me again. It burned like crazy! “Not!” Smack! “Take!" Smack! “Candy!” Smack! “From!" Smack! “Strangers!” smack, smack, smack! “What is wrong with you!” she hit me a few more times before she let me go.

I cried uncontrollably on the cold stone using it's cool surface like an ice pack. My body trembled and I patted my butt trying to sooth it. It felt like someone had poured hot lava on my backside. I hadn’t been spanked like that since my mom found my porn collection.

Honestly mom. That was no reason to hit a young developing boy. Even dad was pissed at her for that. He later gave me access to some of his old porn on the condition that I never tell my mom it was his.

“aah! It hurts.” *Sniff, sniff*. My crying died down As my anger swelled. I wanted to Blast Shadow in the head but when I looked towards her. A feeling of trauma washed over me and my body went stiff.

Was I actually scared of this crazy cat lady? For some reason she looked so much taller all of a sudden. That's when I finally noticed the puddle under me and the smell of asparagus. My ass was soaked and I could hear the faint sound of a stream cascading into a puddle.

I was surprised at how much there was. It was warm and stung like rubbing alcohol against my sore ass. The sight made me stop crying only for a new frustration to take over. I couldn't believe it! Shadow had noticed much sooner than I did and had switched modes from scolding mother to concerned big sister.

“Hey, It's alright. It was an accident. It happens sometimes.” Somehow the words hurt more than the beating. I said nothing and just sobbed quietly to myself. The meeting with Luca had been postponed for another hour. Shadow helped me get cleaned up. I tried not to look at my naked self. I didn't really need to, since Shadow did all the “cleaning”

She was very rough with the wash cloth. It hurt! It was almost like she was trying to peel my skin off. Afterwards I changed into the school uniform I had on before. I didn't have any underwear. That wasn't an item you could get in-game.

The game gave everyone default underwear. For men they got black boxers. For the women they got a black sports bra and black spanx shorts. Why I needed a sports bra I had no idea. I was as flat as they came.

One look at myself and I suddenly felt better about taking a shower. The fact that there was really nothing to look at gave me relief. I was still afraid of Shadow. Every head pat and touch came with a spark of PTSD.

I couldn’t go commando. Not when Shadow was here watching my every move. She decided to go out and buy me some undies. Honestly by this point my shame had grown to the size of a world boss. The kind of boss that needed every player on the server to beat.

I said nothing and just waited in the dining hall. I felt a draft. It was awful. It was like that time my pants ripped at the park. I lived eight blocks away and had to walk the whole way while exposing my ninja turtle underwear to just about everyone I knew. That day sucked.

To take my mind off things I decided to look at the pink ribbon I’d gotten for stopping Uncle Mantis. It wasn’t really a ribbon it was a big pink bow with a clip. Basically you were supposed to clip it onto your hair. It gave a 10% boost to charm and a 5% boost to movement speed.

Since it matched my gear the charm boost was up another 5%. I like the movement boost it gave. Charm was fun to play around with to. It was embarrassing though. Whatever, it doesn’t really matter considering I’m already dressed like I’m from candy land.

I equipped it. The system decided it would go on top of my head. I checked my stats. There was a hidden bonus for equipping it. The ribbon gave me the ability to phase through attacks. It had a 20% chance to activate per attack.

That was insanely useful! I’ve never heard of such a thing! That quest was strange. Why did I get a reward like this? It was basically made for me. The system is watching. So far it looks like it wants me to survive. Maybe it finds me entertaining. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. One thing was for sure like Shadow it also liked to tease me about my new body.

As for the 32G I got from James. I ended up giving it back. He paid taxes so that was enough. If anything it was my fault he got hurt. His taxes should of gone into a policing force that would of protected him.

The EXP didn’t really go anywhere considering my war mage class was maxed out. War mage was a good class for those that wanted to use all types of magic. The mage class had branching magic and depending on how far along you went down each branch you could unlock a new class.

For example unlocking all of the fire magic branch unlock the class Pyromancer. For the war mage class you needed to unlock all the different types of magic. This would give you benefits for not just one type but every type of magic.

Luca also had war mage unlocked but she mostly used the Shadowmancer class for its benefits for dark aligned magic. It let her cast all kinds of de-buffs. From slowness to blindness. I feel like it’ll have even more utility in the new world.

Shadow came back after about twenty minutes holding a bag. “That's a cute accessory you got there. Trying out new things I see.” Her face was so smug I had to look away. “Yeah something like that. Its actually really useful gear. So…uh, did you get the…. stuff.” I almost died then and there.

She nodded her head, her tail swishing happily as her smug smile bloomed into an evil grin. “I got you a bunch of cute ones. I got myself some to.” What the hell did she mean by cute! She ruffled through the brown sack and pulled out a bunch of different colored panties. She laid them out on the table like she was showing me some prized collection.

I couldn't help but ask. “Is it okay to just spread them out like that?” My embarrassment got the better of me and I really wish she’d go away and leave me alone to pick my own underwear. Also why hadn’t she got me any boxers instead. I should have spoken up when she headed out. Then again how was I supposed to know she’d get nothing but panties. Oh, who am I kidding it's Shadow of course she’d do this!

“What? Are you afraid someone will see you with a of bunch of girls underwear and think your some kind of pervert.” Her smile just about split her face in half. She was so evil.

My face darkened. “I hadn’t thought of that at all! Why are you putting things in my head! I already have titans and toilet mimics up there. I don’t need anything else.” I freaked out and started Scratching my head vigorously with both hands.

A feeling of panic and anxiety overwhelming me. “I wanna die! This sucks!” My hair was now a bit frizzy. The pink bow — while still hanging on — was now a little crooked. I was about to start nervously pulling my hair out when Shadow finally spoke up. If my mind was a raging ocean her voice was a tiny ripple that seemed to flatten out the rapid waves.

“Calm down. Just pick one for today. All you need is one.” My head just about exploded. I let out a long breath and looked at my options. Most of them were pretty girly. Flowers, strawberries, butterflies, pink, blue, yellow. There was one with two bunny rabbits eating carrots. I hated carrots so not that one.

Another was covered in multi colored stars and another had rainbows and unicorns. Wait…. was that a black thong? What the hell was she trying to do to me! Obviously she was trying to mess with me again. It’s to big there was no way that would fit me.

Her eyes widened and she looked a bit flustered. “Woops! Sorry about that. This one is mine.” She reached over and pulled the thong out of the pile. I had questions but was mostly happy it was gone.

Calm down. Just pick one. I can buy boxers later.

The more I saw the sicker I felt. I couldn't wear this crap! What the hell was I supposed to do! It was one thing if it was just cosplay but this is underwear! Its not supposed to be cute! No one's gonna be looking at it. I just about cried.

With a shaky hand I reached for the most plain out of the bunch. Just simple white cotton. Shadow let out a laugh. “I knew you’d pick those.” She was torturing me! She wasn’t a crazy cat lady she was an evil cat lady!

Sinking in my seat I tried to crawl out of it. Once on my feet I headed for the nearest vacant room. That was until Shadow stopped me. Her hand pressed against my shoulder keeping me from proceeding.

“What now! let me go change.” Sadly underwear wasn’t something that could be equipped so it had to be put on normally. I figured I could just toss them in my inventory and dispose of them later. I doubt Shadow will try to check If I’m wearing them. That would be way to strange even for her.

“No you don’t. I need to make sure you actually put them on and don’t just toss them in a corner.” How did she know? It was kind of scary. I didn’t wanna upset her again so I slipped them on as fast as possible and looked up at her. “Are you Happy now, you pervert! Is that what you wanted! To see a child slide into an innocent pair of underwear!” She ignored my accusation.

“Alright, now go put the rest in your room. Then we can go.” I did as she asked. I thought about putting them in my inventory but then I’d be the guy with a bunch of girls underwear on him at all times. That was a hard no.

It took me a minute to find my room and when I did I could hear the bed still whispering. It freaked me out so I just tossed the underwear into the room and slammed the door shut. There was no way I was sleeping in there.

I’d much rather share a cell with my creepy uncle Mantis than sleep anywhere near that thing. I headed back to Shadow. She had gone to drop off her underwear in her room. I was still feeling a bit of a breeze. It bothered me so I looked through my inventory and found a pair of white tights.

I quickly un-equipped the black stockings and was now wearing the white tights. They were almost like pants. I expected them to be tighter than that. They were a little, but the fabric was so stretchy that it didn’t feel uncomfortable.

I lost the set bonus from wearing the school uniform but the clothes stats weren’t all that good to begin with. This would be fine. With all that taken care of, Shadow and I headed to the tavern. Without interruptions we made it there in no time.
