-Alice-
I was seated at an enormous table. The doggy girl placed a plate in front of me. On it was a grilled cheese sandwich. I could smell the thick melted cheese and the grilled slices of ham. I haven’t eaten one of these in years. Mom used to cook these for my brother Mikey all the time.
At my side was that Cindy person. Her body had a nice shape. Looking back to my food I pouted. Why did Izzy have so many pretty women at his side? They were all so beautiful and I was stuck in this little body.
No curves, no boobs, not even some fuzzy pubic hair. Not having hair down there felt so strange. It was like being naked. This wasn’t fair, I want a hot body too!
Nowadays it’s actually nice for girls to be shaven down there, but Izzy and I are from the time where the more hair the better. At least that’s what adult videos back then were like.
What if Izzy gets board of me!? My body is all I have! I’m not that interesting of a person. I could already see him snuggling up to the doggy girl to get boob nuzzles.
That little pervert! How dare he nestle his face between her perfectly rounded and bouncing boobs! I bet her nipples are pink and soft too. How could Izzy do that to me!?
Stupid Izzy, always cheating on me! I’m a good wife. Why does he need so many cute girls around him! Aren’t I enough! I’ve been with him forever.
I listen to him go off about video games and anime. I put in the work, yet these girls show up out of nowhere with their shamelessly sexy bodies and lure him away!
I wanna be shameless too. It’s not fair. I like boobs. My boobs weren’t perfect, but I liked them. Their were soft and squishy. flat chests are so lame! I might as well be a boy. Izzy hates me. He wouldn’t even kiss me and kept averting his eyes like I was ugly.
Even after I managed to finally take a shower and comb my hair. I even got this pretty new dress too. He didn’t like it at all, even though I kept looking in the mirror and practiced lots of cute poses and gestures.
I bet if I was a cat girl he’d be interested. I’d let him pet my tail and touch my ears and I’d even purr just for him. Was that what Izzy wanted? It sure felt like it.
Even when it was just the two of us he still needed all those files on his PC. The only thing I have left are my cooking skills and I can’t even reach over the stove anymore.
Through salty tears I munched on the sandwich. “This is pretty good.” I mumbled through a mouthful of cheese and bread. I still wasn’t used to my smaller mouth.
“Thanks, I can’t cook very many things, but this stuff is easy to make.” Said the doggy lady.
“Are you alright Alice. The sandwich is good, but I didn’t think it would bring you to tears.” Said the pretty dwarf.
I wanted to throw my food at her. She wasn’t that much bigger than me, yet she had such exaggerated assets. I knew I should have left the sliders as they were. I could have been a big boobed lady with big hips and lots of sex appeal.
I swallowed, “Um… I haven’t had very good food lately. The best thing I’ve eaten was dragon steak cooked by a friend of mine. It was a bit tough, but really juicy.” I explained.
“A dragon? That sounds like a fun story “ She said.
“Probably, it was one of those long ones with bird like feet. Anyway that’s not what I’m here for. Izzy told me to give you this.” I handed the short queen Izzy’s note.
She took it in her small hands and read it over. Her face kept the same serious expression. “Aku really is alive. That’s good to hear. I was worried about her when I found out she was no longer empress.” She said.
“So you remember Aku as the guild leader?” asked the doggy lady.
“Of, course I do. I had a few conversations with her. Though I doubt many others would remember her. At least that’s how the system works. At best those that formed connections with her will remember her original status, but it’s different for everyone.” She explained.
“So can you help me?” I asked.
She shook her head. “Unfortunately, neither is she or you apart of the guild, so I’m not allowed to give her access to any of the items in the vault... however…”
She stared off into the ceiling. “I’ve been doing things a normal NPC wouldn’t do, so I don’t mind bending the rules a little.”
“What kind of things?” Asked the doggy girl. She took a step back as if expecting a fight.
“To answer that I’ll start from the beginning. I kind of woke up one day in my shop and realized things were different. Walking around town, I notice others coming to the same conclusion.” She sipped a cup of coffee switching to a gloomy expression.
“I went to the castle to discuss these matters with Lady Aku, but no one was there. During that time someone tried to break in. It was a group of primordials, so I kicked their butt’s and sent them running.” She said.
“Is that why the country hadn’t been taken over even though Isaac and his guild were several weeks late!?” Asked the doggy lady.
“Yeah, I took out a lot of them. Some didn’t survive.” She said while staring deep into her cup.
“This is interesting and all, but can you please help me now. Izzy is still out there fighting.” I interrupted.
The pretty dwarf smiled. “Yeah, I’m on it. I wish I could go with you, but protecting the guild core is more important. Without it the entire country would fall. Even if the city falls, I’ll make sure the core still stands.” She said.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“But, couldn’t you end this? You're level 93. Aren’t you like a raid boss?” I asked.
“kind of, but my class is blacksmith. I might have the raw stat levels of a raid boss, but my abilities are tailored for crafting weapons. There is only like 2 attack skills I know and they all deal single target damage. They aren’t even meant to be used as attacks.” she explained.
“but couldn’t you kill the boss within a few hits or something?” I argued.
She shook her head. “I might have the levels of a raid boss, but my base stats have changed. I couldn’t even kill that one primordial with a single punch. I only got through his armor because of my skills as a blacksmith.” She said.
“wait a sec, you mean to tell me you were trying to kill that level 100 guy!? I thought you were only trying to immobilize him!” the doggy girl exclaimed.
“if I wanted to do that I could have simply broken his limbs and saved the armor.” She said.
“his spine is broken…” She shivered.
Her ears fell low, as her fluffy tail made it’s way up between her legs, acting like a soft comforting pillow for her to hug. That was odd, the castle was fairly warm. Why was she cold all of a sudden?
“Anyway, I can’t help.” She said.
I sighed. “That’s okay. I just need the items.” these girls might have big boobs and hips, but I could be useful in other ways. I hope I get praised. That would be great.
I scarfed down my meal while Cindy played with a few menus. Within a few minutes she sent me several trade requests. It took a bit, but I managed to get my hands on everything from Izzy’s list.
“Alright, that looks like everything, now can you hand me your main weapon?” She asked.
I wasn’t sure what she was planning, but I reached into my inventory and manifested my white ribbon wand, handing it over. She opened her menu and pushed a few buttons. Next thing I knew the wand began glowing with multiple colors and shades of energy.
A moment later she handed it back to me. It was greatly improved. “Wow, it’s so much stronger now!” I exclaimed.
“I couldn’t do much without my forge, but I managed to upgrade it’s attributes with magic gem upgrades, curtesy of the guild. With all the guild buffs provided the success rate was pretty high, so I was able to get each attribute into the 5th threshold.” She explained.
I didn’t know what gem upgrades were, but it sounded cool. I was happy with my new wand. I bet I can actually help now. My stats were between 100 to 180. They weren’t that high, but would go up once I transformed.
“Can you do mine next!” Said the doggy lady, her tail wagging while she held out what looked like a space gun. It was silver and long with a shoulder strap. The urge to play with it came to mind, but I wasn’t about to step over her enthusiasm with my own.
Cindy gave the gun a quick inspection. “I can upgrade the individual attributes a good amount, but if you want a real upgrade, you’ll have to go to a texpert. I’d also recommend going to the tech shop at some point and buying chips for it. Though, you might not get very strong chips since this is a magic country. That one has 4 open slots and if you talk to a texpert they can unlock 5 more with the right materials.” She advised.
Should I be here right now? I got the stuff, so shouldn’t I leave? Would that be rude? These girls went on about ways to upgrade the space gun, so I snuck my way over to the kitchen.
Once inside, I explored like an adventurous child. They might have shameful bodies, but my cooking skills were just as good. I just needed my handy dandy step ladder!
I withdrew a wooden step ladder from my inventory. It only had three steps, but it was all I needed for cooking. I nabbed this baby up back on the island where I woke up yesterday. It had come in handy several times now.
I got to work and began making lunches for not just Izzy, but for as many of these bimbos as I could. I wanted to prove to all these stanky hoe’s who Izzy’s real wife was.
I won't be replaced by something as fleeting as perky breasts. Breasts only lasted so long before they got saggy. However, my cooking skills were forever and could only improve with time and effort.
In the end I made way too much food. This magic stuff was pretty cool. I was able to make it so quickly. I ended up packing over 20 lunches. Way too many, but that was okay. Inventory was OP like that.
The main dish was lasagna and for the side I went with stuffed mushrooms. Izzy really liked stuffed mushrooms, but those didn’t really carry main dish energy, so I paired it with my favorite meal. It was perfect symbolism for our loving relationship.
I swooned back and forth swinging my knife around. Izzy will fall in love with me all over again. If only one of us was a boy. Then we could make lots and lots of babies. I want 17 kids. 10 boys and 7 girls.
I wonder if Izzy would be okay with being the mommy. I heard child birth is really painful and laying that many eggs sounded exhausting. I might give birth to one of our children just to see how it feels, but Izzy can give birth to the rest.
I took out one of the box lunches and looked over it contents. It looked so good. I couldn't wait to show Izzy. It’ll show him who loved him the most. Not that silly cat girl, or the doggy lady, or that dwarf that looks nothing like a dwarf.
What was up with that anyway! That had to be some kind of male fantasy stuff! Only a man would do such a thing.

“bounce, bounce, bounce.” I sung while jumping in front of the bathroom mirror.
-Alice-
With everything frozen in time and neatly packed in my inventory, I headed back out to the dining hall. They were still talking. “I need to leave. Thank you for the help!” I said performing a curtsy like a princess would.
“It was no problem.” Said Cindy.
“Tell that husband of yours to stop breaking shit. You need to get him under control.” Said the doggy girl.
My blood pressure rose. “Izzy isn’t a pet. You have no idea what he’s been through. Unlike you he’s out there risking his life to save everyone.”
She rolled her eyes, “He’s just cleaning up his own mess.”
“Well, maybe if you people were nicer to him he wouldn’t have freaked the fuck out!” she wanted to say something else, but held her tongue.
The wolf girl sighed looking away from me. “He just seemed like a weird guy. How was I supposed to know what would send him over the edge.”
The rage in me softened as I realized she actually felt bad. I hope she wasn’t too mean to Izzy, but it was nice to see her regret it. “It’s alright, but standing around blaming people isn’t going to fix the problem. We can do that once this is all over.” I said.
“Right… is it too much to ask if I go with you?” she glanced at me for a second before nervously looking away again.
“You want to fight too?” I asked in surprise. She didn’t come off as the ‘risk my own life’ type. She wasn’t even that strong. Her level hadn’t even reached 20 yet.
I knew she had no classes in level 100 because her stats were low. Why was she even out this far? She should be back in Arvoes with all the other beginners.
“I’m going too.” Said Kyle. He was standing at the entrance to the hall. Hang on, why were his legs trembling? Was he also cold?
“Both of you?” I asked. They weren't much for backup, but I might be able to level them like how Izzy helped me level sometimes.
The doggy girl looked over to Kyle. Both of them grinning. She turned her attention back to me with a new fire in her eyes. “There’s no point in sticking around here anymore. Cindy can protect the guild core on her own. If Boner and Rosy can help, then we can do it too.” Said the doggy girl.
“Yeah, besides, we need to level up. Can’t let my best friend surpass me when I’m the one that invited him to play in the first place. Nothing like cheesing a raid boss for multiple levels and cool new gear.” Said Kyle.
“This city is ours now too. We don’t plan to run away. We did that once and I never want to live through it again.” Said the doggy girl.
Wow! Its like I was in a movie or something! “We would love your help!” I said.
I tried to add them to the party I had with Shadow, but it wasn’t working, since I wasn’t party leader. Instead I left the party and made a new one with these guys. Neat, I’ve never been a party leader before.
With our party of three we headed out.
