-Say, why did some females seemed even more enraged then the males? Asked the confused Guilda.
-Why you say… Aki simply crouched down and got the pants out of one of the enraged females, revealing a twenty odd centimeters rod coupled with big green balls. One of them even had a piercing.
-You mean all of then… Tried asking the flabbergasted Guilda, who seemed unable to divert her view.
-Nope, the males are a little smaller, and this is actually an hermaphrodite individual. Lots of hormones, so they get big all over. He pointed the the orcess curves, which were ridiculous even for someone with more than two meters.
-That certainly makes sense. Said the woman who still had her gaze locked and showed a serious expression.
-Look, if you are going to drool all over it, then we can just buy an orc slave. They have a racial trait that makes it so that you won't feel pain while at it, and it can be turned off… he tried to say.
-Hell if I will ever have a slave! She seemed indignant and disgusted about the idea.
-Sorry, but these guys are addicting. Literally, it's an ability to make it easier for then to have lots of children. Most women of other races normally die when having orc children! He crashed her expectations.
-Ou…
-It will also make you into their slave just so you can keep getting dicked until you die. He told the shocking half-truth.
There are civilized orc tribes and clans, with their collaboration an "antidote" has been created. Not for the woman, but for the orcs, so they don't turn their partners into mindless sex addicts.
"Go green or go home" they say.
Obviously though, it is almost impossible to get that unless you are in the middle of an orc settlement or very rich. That was something they could not expend their money on at the moment.
-You can get an aphrodisiac out of these and I guarantee any man will last for ten rounds at the very least. We can get about 25% of these turned into it directly if you want. He offered. He never planned to sell more than 50% to begin with though.
…
-I mean, it does have good effects, but it is not meant for dogs! Or men for the meter, believe me when I say I would use it if I could. Said Aki while shoving the collar to Guilda.
-Fuck it! Then just sell it, I will be fine! Guilda rebuted.
-But it's an item for a berserker. A female berserker! You know how rare an item like this is?! Said him.
[Bloody rose chain - Rises the skill "Bloodlust" by one level for 15 minutes. Can only be worn by a female.]
It was a dog collar with spikes. A red one.
There is no need for me to tell that dungeons provide treasures that are related to the challengers and the dungeon's own characteristics. As an orc infested dungeon, there was little Aki could get for himself.
Even the xaman staff he got was not that good, and they took it out of the dungeon boss.
It is not that the staff is bad, they just never have any effect that Aki needs or wants to use, so it would just make him carry a dead weight considering all his maneuvers during close combat.
[Staff of Banevor - better conversion on lighting magic]
Aki then decided to look for some magic gloves or enchant some himself.
At the end Guilda decided to take the collar. Aki even had to point out that a lot of adventurers used ridicule or lewd outfits for no reason at all. Most people truly wouldn't give a second glance at the collar though.
If they hadn't taken it out of a Dungeon chest then they too wouldn't after all. Even Aki could only feel a small mana aura around the collar.
If it wasn't for the special function of the inspection skill that allows one to find out more about their own equipment, then he wouldn't have know what it does either.
Thankfully Guilda didn't have much time to complain, as they were attacked the moment they left the boss room. About fifty men, five in hiding, Aki noted. The four carriers were unconscious and theirs bags couldn't be seen anywhere.
-What would it be that you gentlemen want to discuss? Aki said.
-Not so confident now, are you? I will go directly to the point. You are being recruited and your sister is being sold as a slave. No matter how talented you are, if you resist again then you will be sold as well. Said a tall, threatening bald man with a scar on his right eye.
-That is… Said Aki with utter surprise.
-Shut up and come at once! Urged the thug boss.
-I, Sis, you get the ones in the left.
*BOOM!*
Aki detonated the gas he was making since he saw the man. It didn't make a lot of damage on their barrier, but it blocked their sight.
None of them expected Aki to actually teleport behind their commander and kill a man more than fifty levels his own in one attack.
Well, most of their mages never thought of using a spell through a dagger's blade, much less one that was totally still and by the side of a man's neck.

Aki's new skill was really useful.
[Passive: Grimoire - Lv 1
Makes it easier to memorize magic related processes. Allow for storage of one spell.]
Aki was quite amazing, but he couldn't span his teleportation spell yet. He could, of course, deal with his enemies in many other ways.
While most mages had already started to chant or use other methods to prepare some spells, Aki had already casted flashbang, a version of thunderclap that has zero real damage, but is capable of an even better stun effect. This one Aki could cast.
The mages lost concentration and had a rebound effect from their spells. The barrier went down. Guilda smashed the skull of one men and sent him flying against another, exchanging sword strikes with another and rapidly decapitating him. A rogue slashed her back and she roared, causing a fear effect, and smashing his skull next.
Aki raised a wall of dirt temporarily blocking the passage and stopping further ranged attacks.
Two men tried approaching Aki and he threw a flamethrower at them, boiling them inside their metal armors. They weren't the only ones that were targeting him though.
One rogue went for his back and another for his leg. Different from Guilda who would receive buffs from losing Hp, he didn't need to get hurt to show his full potential.
With another flashbang, the two rogues behind him stopped for a moment and Aki stabbed the neck of one while defending against the attack from the other.
The man threw a kick at his open side, but Aki took the hit after changing his footing and caught it with his hand. The rogue desperately tried to slash or hit him, but Aki instead used one of their exchanges to cast a wind blade to his neck.
Ignoring the man who was now choking at his own blood, Aki casted a healing spell at Guilda, threw one of his daggers at the crowd at let it explode.
The earth wall crumbled and fell. Arrows and spells fell over. Aki runned in their direction and raised another wall behind himself.
It wasn't by chance, he could actually feel the state of his spell while it was active.
Now the arrows were being shot at him, another flamethrower solved most of the problem, but he still did a front roll, followed by raising a small earth wall.
It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to start to make more walls and store another spell.
*Boom bom boooom BOOM*
It took the enemy mages about one minute to destroy the shields, which meant more 120 mana for Aki. Any extra mana was good during a battle after all.
Using the breather to shove 130 status points into his intelligence, teoricaly tripling his spell effectiveness. This gave Aki some confidence, so he finally tried to cast a big ass spell.
-EXPLOSION!
And it worked. Five kill notifications appeared on his sight. The rest was disrupted and staggered by the sudden explosion.
Using his storaged spell, Aki blinked into the shadow of one archer and started aniquilating them.
Some time later, he opened the earth wall again and cast another heal on Guilda, then plunging to kill the last ten or so men after taking his combat knife out.
Even with Jade's help, it was too much to ask his companion to simply kill of 25 armed men. His demon had even been killed already. mostly because she was focused on while spitting her poison.
Guilda herself was only alive and killing because she also had been leveling her warlock job and could now cast spells from her level thirty something class. Which were mostly focused on crowd control and life steal.
After killing the last guy, both collapsed on the floor.
-This was awesome. Said Aki while staring at the ceiling and listening to his rapid beating heart.
-I finally used some status points, but I need healing. Said Guilda, while on her knees and using her mace to not fall face first.
-I am almost out of mana and with even less stamina. Take these. Aki used his telekinesis to get two potions to her. -One is an antidote.
-Thanks, already used mine. She replied and gulped both down.
…
Gunther was very bored today. No one came in and he was out of ingredients to research with. He could get more, sure, but that would mean debt. All researchers know what happen to a researcher in debt.
That was when he appeared holding four sacks full of orc balls. The gods must have heard his prayers, because he even wanted to make a request!
-In exchange for these two sacks, I want you to make aphrodisiacs out of this sack and use this sack to teach how to make aphrodisiacs. Said Aki.
-I can't guarantee you will get the skill or learn with just these. Gunther said immediately.
Aki just smiled and accepted. The adventurers guild didn't have any alchemy teacher at the moment because theirs was going on a trip, so Aki came to a shop with a researcher.
And so Guilda got her "potions" later and went to the red light district. "Almost dying kind of got on my nerves" or so she said after getting questioned.
Aki just shrugged and told her to remember to take the pills, which they do have around here too. She came back and punched him, but besides that there was nothing much.
Of course, this time Aki made sure to remember her they needed to practice theirs skills so they would level up and they would suffer less danger.
She ultimately agreed to go to the guild to look for a berserker instructor and hear him out about the domination school. The magic her warlock job gave her.
-Fun fact, that is the school of magic that is most used for sex. He received another punch for that.
And though it might seem like a bad combination, but her class choices are actually very good considering that most warlock spells are hard to spam already and some even cost vitality instead, besides giving her another potential life steal source.
Anyway, back to the alchemy training, Aki was stabbing himself to concentrate. By the way, it is already the next day.
[You have been poisoned. -4 hp/s for next 8m and 37s]
-That goes there and… fuck, that can kill me four times over! Screamed Aki after testing his own poison on himself as suggested by the alchemist. He immediately used fifty status points on his Vitality and started healing himself.
-Quick, take this medium potion! Screamed the man who did not expect the young man to actually stab his hand to test for poison when he told so.
-No need, it just gives me a headache since I have ways to heal myself, I can deal with it if I meditate during the duration of the poison. I also just doubled my Hp with points. Aki answered and started to lay himself on the ground.
With Aki's mana regeneration turning to roughly 19.25% per minute, he was more than perfectly able to heal himself back.
[Maximum experience reached. Poison resistance is now level 3.]
-Why the fuck would you even consider poisoning yourself?! Screamed the man.
-Because that's how you train healing magic, by hurting yourself. Aki said with a matter of factly tone.
-Like hell it is! He rebuted.
And so they spent the first hour discussing the correct way to train healing magic.
-Fuck! If you know so much about healing, then why do you even need to learn alchemy?! Asked the jealous man who was at his wits end.
-For more money of course! Aki answered with joy. It had been some time since he had such lengthy conversation about magic with someone that truly has knowledge.
By the way, the argument went by the ways of:
A: By healing yourself you have all the benefits from healing another person, plus the challenge and an easier time finding out about your injures.
G: By getting in such situation you have a bigger chance to fail and cause a wound that is even harder to heal.
A: That may also help with the need to get it right actually, besides showing how it is like when you fail a healing spell and further deepening of the experience.
G: The pain from such a thing will certainly traumatize people before they learn.
A: If you can't heal at the heat of the battle, then what use are you in a fight?
G: Healers are not meant to battle. It is the job lof the party to keep the healer safe.
A: What about when one attack hits the healer and they can't shake off the immense pain to heal their comrades?
That actually already convinced the man, but he didn't want to lose the argument and they kept going about minor things.
