I was back in the lab, working on my composite formula that combined some of Peach's mutations with the Miracle created by the Monitor, when the next quest arrived.

*Ding.

Quest received. Stop the Daxamite_invasion

Bonus quests:

-Do not let a single human die

-Do not let a single building be destroyed.

-Do not let the Earth's atmosphere be polluted by lead.

-Capture all Daxamite ships.

-Recruit at least 20 Daxamites as your operatives.

I stopped for a moment, considering how difficult the last quest might be.

A diplomat, me? I was the complete opposite of one. Angels and devils, even a goddess, a Martian and a Kryptonian had punched me in the mouth, or worse.

Daxamites? They would shoot me with laser cannons. Maybe death rays.

It had to be mind-control, right? I had the tech from the Dominators. It even worked on Kryptonians, so Daxamites stood no chance. System, mind-control counts?

*No. Use words, Gamer.

Oh well. I will try. I could use words. But if they refused my kind words, I had a big stick. A big stick always works.

"What is it, my sweet Apple?" Peach asked from her workstation.

"Nothing much. Another alien invasion." I muttered and resumed my own work on the Miracle formula. A bit more determined, for once.

A big quest like this should provide me enough exp for a level up. And level 30 had a new Fate point.

"Can I help too?" Peach asked curious.

"It's some guys from Daxam. Like Mon-El. But they have many spaceships." I answered openly.

"...If they are as strong, I can't defeat more than one at a time." Peach said in a thoughtful voice.

"If. But I'd think they are not. They need a yellow sun for power, so they won't have enough time to adapt. Advanced tech though." I continued as the molecules began to align.

*Ding.

You have created...something. This formula grants +10000 HP, +1000 AGI, +1000 PER, and -200 HP/sec. Extremely painful.

"You did it? A new Miracle?" Peach yelled and flew at my side.

"Something, something, not a good Miracle. A speed boost, and extreme cellular degradation. You would die in...100 seconds." I explained as I took out the glass vial and shook it a little. It was sickly green, and looked like death in a bottle.

So I drank it, of course.

The pain blinded me, and Peach rushed to hold me, before I trashed the lab with my spasms. That's why I hated extremely painful stuff. Limbs would flail uncontrollably.

The adjustment was slow and painful too, if less so.

*You have survived (another) extremely painful formula. +10 WILL

*Your soul barrier upgrades to next tier. 20% of any Soul attacks blocked.

*Your Pain suppression has reached Tier V. 50% pain levels. +50 END +50 WILL.

-Pain threshold reached. Pain levels below painful can be ignored.

*By exploring the limits of pain suffering, the Gamer gains a new Perk.

Pain detection. You can detect pain levels around yourself, scales with MAG. Current range 1400 Meters.

"You're still alive...I was wondering for a moment. Cellular degradation had me worried for a minute." Peach said in a voice too loud.

I frowned, and snapped my fingers. Yeah, snapping fingers shouldn't register like church bells ringing. Nor the pipes and gears all over.

"Hearing's too good now. I need to lay down and rest." I groaned as Peach carried me to a conference room equipped with sound dampeners.

"It will pass. I felt the same way at first." Peach whispered in a loud voice.

I glanced at my system status, where my HP was constantly decaying and regenerating even faster. Oh well. I knew it would suck.

Now I had more incentive to complete the next Miracle, without a dangerous side effect.

I rested for a while, maybe a few hours. Then my ears popped by themselves, and sounds stopped bothering me.

"Coffee on your table." my dear wife whispered gently.

I nodded and took a sip, feeling a thousand more flavors and chemicals than I normally did. "You put curare and cocaine in my coffee?" I asked a bit confused. They did give it a curious taste, but not bad.

"Correct! The smell tests will be far worse." Peach said with a laugh, and threw a fistful of brown dust in the air.

I felt like puking and vomiting at once, then it passed rapidly. "Dog and cat food?" I groaned as the smells began to make sense.

"Excellent. You'll be able to tell the brand as well, after we visit a mall. If your mind...maybe not yet. Your mind is not upgraded yet, is it?" she asked in a cautious tone.

I sighed and gulped my coffee in one go. She was mocking me a bit. "Doll sex now. You deserve it." I demanded and dropped my pants.

She did give me an idea how to fix the formula though. Faster neurons would give someone more intelligence. A brute force approach, but decent for now. Cocaine as add-on, will do.

Peach floated on her back towards me and opened wide as I entered her mouth. Oh! Sex was going to be extremely fun now.

I came a dozen times in a dozen minutes, just from the sheer pleasure of enhanced sensations.

"You felt this every time, didn't you?" I whispered a bit guilty.

Peach gulped her Apple Juice and smiled cutely. "I never said I didn't. I was lucky you agreed to take me, or hearing your sex with Emilia might have killed me. And I would have missed all the fun since."

"You can suck me off whenever you want, little Peach. In fact, you should be doing it now. I have to control myself somehow, and not spray the house with Apple Juice at the first blowjob." I said in a serious voice.

"Ah, sexual healing? I can do that. But I want the next formula you make, if it's not a cell poison like this one." Peach agreed with a wide grin, and grabbed me by the balls.

I began working furiously on the next Miracle, while Peach drank me dry over and over. I did place the Thinking Cap on my other head, as +100 INT and +10 Logic wasn't a bad buff.

Plus I was much faster now. My hands blurred over keypads and dials.

*Ding

-Via dubious laboratory practice you have created a minor Miracle. Speed X formula 1.1. +11000 HP, +1000 AGI, +1000 PER, +100 INT. Very Painful. Safe to drink by humans, including Homo Magi.

*For this Miracle you receive +5 Logic.

I memorized the formula and printed 10 vials. Then I deleted it. Too dangerous to keep, even in a different star system. Aliens with spaceships roamed around too.

"This will hurt, little Peach. Are you sure you want it?" I asked as I held her vial out.

"I have to be faster than you, at least for a while longer. You passed me by in durability and magic...now in speed and senses too." Peach muttered with a strange voice.

We went to the silent conference room, and drank our vials at the same time, while she rode my dick, for science.

My mind blew open, feeling both my pain and hers at the same time. Not as bad as the extremely painful one, of course. But it was like tearing both eyes out, not just one.

Then she came, vibrating her pussy in extreme pleasure and pain at the same time. I came as well, pleasure circling in a circuit of pain then pleasure.

"Fuck me! I could die from so much pleasure." Peach groaned and hugged me tight.

*Peach Wizard has gain Pain Suppresion IV. 60% pain levels.

*Peach Wizard has gained Soul barrier II. 10% all Soul attacks blocked.

Well, she wouldn't die now, but it was close. Maybe next time, don't try dick science, silly Pef.

"I hear something like fuck me. As a good husband, I have to oblige." I said gently, and began to move.

"Oh No! Don't...don't stop! Faster!" Peach demanded in a horny voice.

I didn't stop, filling her with love.

*Peach Wizard is now pregnant. No Magic drain during pregnancy. The child will be a boy, starting with +1 MAG.

Uh. Not my intention...but sure. At least this kid would be safe. Not so sure about Kara.

There had to be a good reason why there were so few mages around.

"Take it slow now, little Peach. You're pregnant too." I whispered as she lay tired on the couch.

"Amazing! I want a hundred more." Peach muttered in a delirious voice.

I went to shower, then dressed up nicely and teleported to a casino in Hub City.

The usher simply ushered me in, as if I was a regular.

Then the universe shifted, and I arrived at a table in her nexus chamber. "Lady Fortuna, even prettier than usual." I said in a polite voice.

"Lord Wizard. What is it? Is your new magic strength not enough to deal with Earth's problems?" Fortuna asked in a teasing voice. I think she was still a bit stronger than me, but not by much.

"In the short term, I think I can manage. I have a different problem though. Two of my wives are pregnant. Mage children." I said with a sad voice.

Fortuna measured me from head to toe, eyes calculating. "Indeed. Happens sometimes, when mommy and daddy love each other very much. But they don't have the strength to carry the kids to term. I would know if Zatara had a kid, and nobody else can."

"I'd guess the solution isn't easy." I mused to myself, and took out a bottle to share.

Fortuna drank my whiskey with a small smile. "For others, it would be a very difficult thing. But you have a Lazarus Pit, don't you?" she asked me with a careless voice.

I sighed and nodded. I didn't know what I should know. Knowledge was the greatest power after all.

I took out a bathtub filled with Lazarus water, and set it on the floor. "And then?"

"Baths, drinks, cocktails even. Although alcohol isn't good for the kid, I guess." Fortuna said in a strange voice, and splashed herself with some Lazarus water.

I held out my hand, and formed a hand-sized water dragon spell, then had the dragon fly around the chamber, until it landed in front of Fortuna. I did have plenty of spells now, by the grace of a fallen angel. "Thank you, Lady Fortuna. I still have much to learn."

She just nodded and threw me out, and kept my bathtub and the dragon.

I knew kids were expensive anyways.
