Volume 2 Chapter 5: Angelic Whispers_Harem Reaper

[box border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3 width=80% bordercolor=#202020 bgcolor=#f5f5f5][col colspan=4 valign=top width=100% bordercolor=#202020 bgcolor=#f5f5f5]Warning: This chapter will have a decent amount of vulgarity, sexual content, sexual organs, sexual jokes, sexual descriptions and probably a few concepts that some people might find offensive. Don’t get your hopes up though, it’s not even that erotic… there’s barely even a sex scene. Although, I might just be too jaded to tell the difference anymore. I’m not saying the whole chapter will be all about sex, just that there will be some? Probably should have some sort of age recommendation, but since they’re usually different everywhere, I’ll just say that there is some explicit content.[/col][/box]

Eating, fighting and fornicating are the three most enjoyable activities that any animal can participate in. Transformation, destruction and creation, three very important aspects of Royal Road, based on a human’s most basic entertainment needs. Regardless of actual enjoyment value, each of the three can be ignored while still being able to play the game. Food can make your character stronger or weaker but only the very basics are necessary and an avatar won’t crave a more vitamin rich form of nourishment. However, the user is the one who craves the taste of the more expensive and high level food. Most of the crafting professions actually avoid fighting altogether, but most users follow their human nature and prefer the more popular combat classes. Sex drive is based on an animal’s instinctive need to reproduce and continue their species’ existence, but an avatar cannot die and has no such purpose. Within Royal Road, even the most perverted person, like Michael, would have absolutely no need to masturbate just to curb their desires.

That isn’t to say he stopped doing that in reality, just that his avatar wouldn’t be in a constant state of arousal for no apparent reason. However, NPCs do, they have desires, they have needs and experience Royal Road as users do their own reality. The ones that can physically have sex, usually do, and just because the users don’t crave it the same way, they can still enjoy it. On the Hanael, Azrael was alone with three women, a little girl and a really little female humanoid mouse scientist that remained hidden. Ae-Cha and Lorelei weren’t filled with lust or sexual desire, but Freya and Nyx… had needs.

Obviously Freya was the man, woman, tentacle monster, shapeshifter, elf in that ‘probably’ lesbian relationship with So-Ra. After watching them have weird bondage, torture, borderline bestiality a few times, Nyx finally realized what she needed from Azrael. Although, she wasn’t quite sure which one of them was supposed to use the tentacles and whether she really wanted to be whipped or caned but when she imagined him just touching her, Nyx was filled with a strange sensation.

Normally, with elven navigation Azrael should have been able to determine which direction was… some sort of land. However, they weren’t even on the same planet anymore, the day and night cycles were erratic and the horizon seemed relatively close. His skill was still far too low to navigate a small river, yet he was in the middle of a seemingly endless ocean. Azrael simply picked a random direction and tried to stick to it but they were definitely lost. After a few, maybe, days he finally gave up and decided to finally fulfill a promise he made to Lorelei while he worked on the ship.

Soul Mana sounded really awesome at first, but there were some pretty annoying side effects. Mainly, the longer a soul is contained, the more influence it has over the container. Liesl had no intention of taking over his body, but once her thoughts began uncontrollably flowing into his mind, it was just too difficult to ignore. He really wanted to practice a bit more beforehand but he just had to hope for the best while using the seeds that he had Lorelei specially pick for the occasion. He secluded himself in his room, the captain’s quarters, for an entire week as he meticulously sculpted and grew the body. At first Azrael wanted to make her look as much like a dark elf as possible, but he quickly realized it would be impossible at his skill level, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

Azrael began with what was basically the heart, brain and other vital organs, of course they were actually various plants. Then came the skeletal structure, which was essentially just very strong tree branches. It took longer than he expected to weave the extra-thin nightmare vines together so intricately that they ended up looking like purple musculature. Normally, that would be enough for a typical dryad, but he was a perfectionist… and he could hear every single one of Liesl’s true feelings about the way it looked. She wanted to be a dark elf again, or at least pretty damn close, even though she would say it was fine. Luckily he had the perfect skill to use in such an occasion, plus he had someone who could grow the special ingredients. However, he didn’t want Liesl to have to experience what he had to do in any way, so it was time to infuse her soul into the newly created body.

Liesl was once a beautiful dark elf fire mage who had a husband and child, but after being ironically burned to death, her soul was then entrusted to Azrael the Forgetful. After a few months he became annoyed with her and thus created a new, dryad, body for to inhabit. She is currently in a type of hibernation until she is completed, thus her stats are unknown and cannot be displayed at this time.[/col][/box]

Then came the relatively unpleasant part, Azrael knew that Liesl would never let him do what needed to be done. He had to create some living armor for her to wear, the problem was the main ingredient, dark elf. It was mainly just skin, hair, nails. teeth, a few ‘minor’ organs, but nothing too extreme. There were two possible donors, and one overly enthusiastic surgeon but Azrael decided to make her one of the donors as well. One of the amazing things about healing magic is the ability to literally fabricate new organs, limbs, or whatever was necessary out of mana. From Lorelei he only took hair, which was painless and quickly regrown using a few of his health points. Freya was generous enough to give him a set of teeth, nails and a few internal reproductive organs. For some strange reason he didn’t feel bad for the crying and begging elf as he gently plucked them out, he had deja vu as he quickly replaced everything he removed.

Azrael had a high tolerance for pain, practically superhuman, but while he was plucking out Freya’s teeth and fingernails he began to feel an overwhelming sense of suffering. He was always pretty empathic, but it was never to that extent before. It was incredibly annoying, he was barely able to complete the operation without crying, then he noticed a strange voice in his head that he didn’t recognize. It kept saying things like ‘I wish he would touch me instead.’ or ‘Maybe I’m just not good enough…’ although, it was difficult for him to hear that new voice over his old ones. In case you were wondering, that’s the main reason this story wasn’t written in first person. He (Probably?) wasn’t schizophrenic and (Most likely?) didn’t have dissociative identity disorder, but the main problem would be vulgarity… of course it would be funnier. When he finally finished the surgery, the status window finally popped up in front of his face.

One of the many unfortunate side effects of using Soul Mana, good fucking job! Of course you were probably already crazy, so maybe it won’t be that bad… lol. Anyway, you will probably want to kill yourself before this happens but it is possible to actually use this skill for something other than just listening to others. At higher levels this skill can be used to speak with others telepathically, but isn’t that what regular whispers are for? Well, hopefully you’ll die or quit this game so I can stop wasting my precious time writing your endless supply of broken skills.[/col][/box]

The descriptions seemed pretty lazy and obnoxious recently, but Azrael didn’t seem to care enough to notice. He was always trying to ignore intense pain, agony and relative discomfort for some reason or another. A side effect of the new skill he just obtained was that he was able to see his beautiful and extremely shy stalker. She was nervously looking at him while thinking ‘Is he really looking at me? I really hope he can’t see me… but I really want him to touch me.’ and thus confirming something he suspected for a long time. Nyx was definitely a virgin.

After Freya was healed to full and stopped crying, she left the operating room(Mess Hall) and it was finally the last donors turn. Azrael smiled and said “If you really want me to, I can touch you everywhere…” in a happy voice.

The blushing creeper, who was no longer invisible to him, though to herself ‘He’s talking to me! He can hear me! Oh no, he can hear me! Wait, can he see me?!’ while pacing back and forth nervously.

Azrael sighed and said “I can hear everything you’re thinking… take your clothes off and lay down on the table. If you want to, you probably shouldn’t, but for some reason you seem like a hardcore masochist.” in an irritated voice. Nyx was perplexed, she obediently did as he said, but was more concerned with hiding her face, rather than her body. He took off his gauntlets in preparation for the delicate surgery he was about to perform. As he gently ran his left hand over her surprisingly smooth skin, he sighed and said “Drink this…” in a quiet voice. Nyx quickly gulped down the strange elixir he pressed against her lips and she almost instantly lost consciousness. It took three hours to completely remove all of her skin, along with her ears, using Mana Sculpting while continuing to replace everything he took with Sacrificial Healing.

He had to do remove the skin in large segments, but it was fine since he could use Mana Weaving to weld it back together seamlessly after he place it over Liesl’s dryad body. Aside from the glowing purple eyes, she looked pretty much like any other 2 meter tall dark elf. Well, he couldn’t exactly make the skin suit smaller, so he simply grew her body’s scale a bit larger.

For some strange reason, the creator decided to give her the outer appearance of a dark elf, even including a working reproductive system. Even though she has no digestive organs, she still was given an anus. A quote from Azrael the Forgetful “Assholes are like vaginas, they look better on women.” he then ranted for nearly an hour about an anus rating system he had devised from his many years of research. Warning: The reproductive organs were taken from a Golden Elf.

Dryads are typically unable to use fire magic because of their natural weakness, but her skin provides the necessary resistance to use it safely. She has inherited her previous skills, along with their levels, but her actual level has to be raised from 1. Her body is a fine piece.

When she woke up for the first time in her new body, Liesl’s first reaction was embarrassment. She was completely naked, laying on Azrael’s bed as he carefully inspected every inch of her skin to make sure that there were no problems. Her voice was cracking as she struggled to say “How did you find a plant that looks so much like skin?” in a confused voice as she ran her fingers down her chest and abdomen.

Azrael laughed and pointed to the unconscious dark orc that was laying to her left. He said “I got most of the skin from Nyx, some other parts from Freya and the hair is from your daughter. Here, I didn’t have much time but I managed to make some underwear and clothes.” in a tired voice as he handed her the leather thong, sports bra and a robe made of wolf’s hide.

Liesl was mortified, she was a very kind person and far too compassionate to be compatible with Azrael. She was actually about to start crying when he yelled “Eww! Cut that shit out! Stop vomiting your emotions all over my brainbox! It was bad enough that I had to put up with these weird feelings when you were inside of me! Go play with your daughter or something… ugh I feel nauseous, damn it!” in an angry voice. Liesl was startled but quickly put on the clothes and began to leave the room.

She turned around and said “Thank you…” in a nervous voice, then closed the door behind her as she left.

All the noise managed to wake up Nyx, who was completely naked and worst of all visible, while laying comfortably on Azrael’s bed. Her first thoughts were ‘I wonder if he took advantage of me while I was sleeping? If that’s the case, I really wish I was able to remember it…’ and Azrael started laughing.

Unlike with Liesl, somehow the thoughts of the Naive and simpleminded Nyx were actually quite comfortable. Probably because all she ever thinks about is her distorted ideas of sex, which were mainly based on what she’s seen Freya and So-Ra doing. When she remembers scenes from their relatively dangerous and probably extremely painful experimentations, Azrael couldn’t help but laugh. He was just sitting on the bed next to Nyx and staring into her cute-ish cat eyes, while she blushed and tried to understand what he was thinking. Then he noticed something for the first time while playing Royal Road, he was horny. Azrael’s avatar chastity was in serious danger from the beautiful and innocent dark orc girl.

The bathhouse was connected to each of the crew quarters by doors, but it was directly below the captain’s room, so there was a hatch that he could use to climb down. Every time he removed his living armor, he had to take a shower or bath and seriously scrub his whole body down. It wasn’t the first time they were naked around each other, but normally one was invisible and the other was being telepathically forced to feel embarrassed. However, they just continued to bathe with each other in the jacuzzi without saying a word. Finally, after at least 20 minutes, Azrael said “Do you want to have sex now? Or just keep sitting here awkwardly while imagining it?” in a mildly irritated voice.

Nyx quietly spoke her first word to him “Yes…” in a surprisingly high pitched voice, for such a relatively large woman. Azrael quickly tried to start it off with kissing, since that’s normally how those things happen the first time, but it didn’t exactly work out. Her tusks were pretty small, but still there, after accidentally using them to pierce his own lips a few times, he finally gave up on that disaster and moved on to use his mouth for more sensitive matters. Even though his body was gigantic compared to a human, since she was also pretty damn big, the scale wasn’t similar to a male tiger mating with a tabby cat. He was very gentle with her, and since he was reading her thoughts the whole time, he was able to do exactly what she wanted, without hurting her. It was the most pleasurable experience he had ever felt, Azrael could feel everything that Nyx felt and for the first time he realized how amazing and horrible his new skill really was.

They didn’t really do anything extravagant or complicated, there were no tentacles, bondage, toys or anything other than basic intercourse, along with a bit of tongue massages from Azrael. However, it’s never that simple and when two people love eachother very much, and then the man fills with woman’s special place with creamy goodness…

[box border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3 width=80% bordercolor=#202020 bgcolor=#f5f5f5][col colspan=4 valign=top width=100% bordercolor=#202020 bgcolor=#f5f5f5]You have Married Nyx![/col][/box]

Apparently, pregnancy tests were really efficient and obnoxious in Royal Road. Azrael yelled “Oh for fuck’s sake!” in an angry voice when he saw the message pop up in front of his face. Well, maybe if they didn’t have sex 7 times in a row… but he was immediately filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness. Although, that was mainly due to Nyx funneling her overflowing emotions into his mind. At the beginning of the game you can choose to make your avatar sterile or fertile, but most people ignore that setting and choose the default, so there aren’t that many users who actually enable fertility. Azrael was one of those few people, he figured it would be useful or interesting in the future.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Azrael and Nyx were enjoying themselves in the hot tub, Liesl and Lorelei were going on an adventure together. The ship was infested with far too many wolves, foxes, rabbits, rats, and even bears, so the mother daughter duo went on a training expedition through the corridors. Normally they would have asked So-Ra and Freya for help, but they were preoccupied. Lorelei was already level 20 so she was mostly doing all the work, but the two Fire Mages were burning their way through the packs of wolves pretty easily. It was possible for Lorelei to even solo dire wolves now, but every time they encountered a bear it was a struggle just to flee. A certain mouse was also in a life or death struggle against a vicious adversary, the Cotton Vine Kitten was busy hunting Ae-Cha.

Lorelei had a dejected look on her face while throwing fireballs at some fleeing wolves, so he mother said “What’s wrong Lore?” in a worried voice.

Lorelei sighed and said “I’m really happy that mama was able to get a new body, but I was just thinking about Papa…” in a sad voice, over the cries of burning wolves in the distance.

Liesl wore a bitter smile as she said “I miss him too, but I’m sure he’s in a better place now.” in a sincere voice, while tossing a fireball of her own at a random fox that suddenly spawned to her left.

After turning around to face her mother, Lorelei said “Azrael described the place where souls go after death… and what happens to them. Mama, why didn’t Papa try harder to stay with us?” in a worried voice.

Liesl looked out the corridor window at the beautiful ocean and said “Sven wasn’t your real father… he was actually a doppelganger who I was using to keep the rest of the village from finding out what I did.” with a lonely smile on her face.

Lorelei yelled “What do are you talking about Mama!?” in a surprised voice with a look of disbelief across her face. She could clearly remember a father who took care of her when she was sick and told her how much he loved her every night. There was no way that such a father could just be an illusion, unless there was illusion magic involved or memory alteration magic. Just because it was a doppelganger didn’t mean it couldn’t love her, but all she could think about was how her whole life was probably a lie. Actually, her memory of life before her death was already pretty faded.

Liesl smiled at her and said “Ten years ago, was the first time I met your real father… Azrael.” in a serious voice. Anyway, enough of that boring over-dramatic nonsense, Ae-Cha was about to die!

She screamed “No! Don’t lick me there! You evil perverted cat!” in an angry voice as she struggled in vain against the rough and thorny cat tongue. The Cotton Vine Kitten was trying to eat Ae-Cha but then quickly realized that it doesn’t actually eat… so it just continued to lick the weak willed rodent for several hours. Eventually she managed to escape its clutches, but then she encountered a pack of hungry wolves. It was a tough battle, regardless of her extremely high level in comparison to them, but unlike the kitten, she could actually fight back against the doggies.

Getting back to the boring mother daughter conversation Lorelei said “I think I understand, it does seem possible if it’s Azrael… but Mama, why didn’t you tell me this a long time ago?” in a calm voice.

Liesl smiled at her and said “He said something like causality and to be completely honest, I still don’t really get it. It happened a long time ago from my point of view, but to him it’s actually the future.” in a worried voice. See, just another boring time travel story… oh well, it probably wasn’t that important.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Azrael had come to a decision, the ant armor was gross and he really didn’t want to wear it anymore. Besides that, the living weapon he had was gigantic and took way too much effort to use efficiently, it was only ever useful on a huge battlefield against thousands of enemies. He was essentially a mage in the purest of senses, he specialized in utilizing mana to do pretty much everything. It’s fun to wear heavy armor and swing around a siege blade, but in the end it was probably better to use spell caster gear. There was also something he had been wanting to do for a long time, but just never got around to since there were always so many distractions. He had the materials and the skills to create the devices, which were neither weapons, armor or sex toys. Azrael knew that if he didn’t start working on them immediately, he would probably forget about it again for a few more months. It didn’t even take him a full take to create them, although they weren’t perfect, they were good enough for what he wanted to do.

Created by Azrael the Forgetful.

Not quite a weapon in the strictest sense of the word, but it is definitely powerful in the hands of a talented musician. The strings were crafted out of steel using Manasmithing but the rest of the instrument was grown from seeds and Mana Sculpted into it’s current form. For the most part it appears as a simple, green, classical guitar, but its sound can be adjusted in many ways. Using mana it can be given many effects and music related skills are much more effective when playing this guitar. Finally, if it is played for enemies, it can literally drain the health, mana and stamina from anyone who hears its beautiful voice. Since it is a living weapon, it will become more powerful as it devours life-force.

Most know him by his catchphrase “Oh for fuck’s sake!” but Azrael the Forgetful is also a very talented fisherman. He also likes to create living weapons and armor, for some reason that no one really cares about. This fishing rod was grown from a strong oak tree seed, that was then sculpted and molded into its current shape. It is indeed alive, but it pretty much just looks like a regular grey fishing rod with a reel. The string is made of a high tensile strength steel which is capable for pulling in even the strongest of sea monsters. This rod will easily devour the life-force of any small or low leveled fish, which is probably fine. Unlike regular fishing, soul fishing rods can’t be used as weapons… if you try to kill a sea monster with this rod, it will probably break.

Azrael finally had the two things he really should have had all along, since they’re crucial instruments for his class. He made a few basic fishing rods for everyone else to use as well, but no one except Nyx seemed to appreciate them. While wearing nothing but some leather boxers, he spent a decent amount of time each day playing the guitar, while singing and fishing at the same time. Nyx still spent all of her time within a few feet of Azrael, the only difference was that he could see her now and that they had sex at least a few times per day. Considering that only Azrael and Freya could eat Creative Cooking, Liesl was in charge of turning their ever increasing food ingredients into meals. When she wasn’t doing that, Liesl and her daughter were mainly focusing on increasing their levels. Freya and So-Ra were usually doing the same thing, but in a different part of the ship. Since it was pretty much just drifting, the ship was able to generate more animals than the two teams could possibly kill. Ae-Cha turned one of the storage rooms into her own personal laboratory, no one but the Cotton Vine Kitten even knew that she existed.

In that way, the 7 of them passed nearly 2 months without anything interesting happening. It wasn’t bad, they definitely all enjoyed themselves. Azrael would catch and eat massive amounts of sashimi every day, plus the sex, and the fact that nothing catastrophic seemed to be happening in their general vicinity meant it was like a pleasant vacation. He even managed to learn to control his Angelic Whispers skill, it was possibly for two way communication. Since Nyx was so shy, she still didn’t speak but the two of them did have quite a few interesting conversations telepathically. Occasionally Azrael would accidentally catch a glimpse some pretty intense sex scenes when he would eat dinner with everyone. Of course, most of them were from Freya and So-Ra… some of which were pretty disturbing even by his warped standards, but the most interesting ones came from Liesl. He wasn’t sure why, but whenever she thought he didn’t notice her staring at him, she was pretty much always thinking about the two of them having sex. The strangest part about it was that in her mind, she was a in her previous body, he figured she still didn’t see herself as a 6’6” dryad covered in dark greenish skin.

The Hanael’s crew had finally gotten used to the strange day and night cycles after 2 months in standard Royal Road time. Nyx’s abdomen had become enormous, even though there was still at least a month left, Azrael worried that there might be complications because of how gigantic the baby would be. However, it was a world where magic existed and even if she died, he would be able to bring her back to life so he wasn’t overly concerned. Regardless of how many fish he caught, Azrael’s Soul Fishing never increased in level, even when he caught something like a Kraken or a giant shark. Nyx was steadily getting better at fishing though, she was already at level 7 and she wasn’t even trying.

It was on the night exactly one month before Nyx was due to give birth, when Azrael reached level 5 with Angelic Whispers. It didn’t seem particularly auspicious, but for the first time in a very long time he decided to actually sleep with his cute pregnant wife. Normally he would simply stay up for several days in game and then log off in the bed, but this time he actually drifted off to dreamland. The dream itself was very pleasant, nothing spectacular happened, Azrael and Nyx were on a beautiful beach, sunbathing while talking to each other like a normal couple. However, due to a single careless sentence that was said without much serious thought, obviously something obnoxious would happen.

“I wish I could switch places with you, so that you don’t have to suffer so much through this pregnancy.”

A moment after those words were said, Nyx opened her eyes but Azrael was still sleeping. She looked over at him and then looked down at her pregnant stomach and said “Oh for fucks sake…” in an irritated, yet cute-ish voice. She immediately felt that her bladder was going to burst, so she went into the bathroom and sat down. Humanoid NPCs have to deal with lots of annoying nonsense that Users don’t. Nyx sighed as she looked at her status window while urinating and feeling grateful that at least she doesn’t have to deal with morning sickness. The only thing she hated more than vomiting was having to touch doorknobs without being able to wash her hands immediately afterward. Nope, vomiting was much worse than doorknobs, but maybe not as bad as being in a hospital.

Most people are extremely attached to their identities, appearances and for some strange reason genders. Michael always found the concept of a gender to be very strange. In reality, he was male and attracted to females, it was the same way in Royal Road. In other role-playing games he would always end up creating many interesting females but in the end his main character would always be a large muscular and very attractive male. However, his true ideal would have been a shapeshifter, or perhaps being able to play two avatars at the same time. The real question Michael was asking himself was ‘If I’m in her body, does that mean she’s in mine?’ with a smirk on her cute, dark orc face.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Nyx opened her eyes, she was trapped inside of some sort of strange container. It opened and she was able to look around at the very strange scenery. Even she could tell that it was a bedroom, but there were many odd looking devices laying around. Then she finally noticed that her body was different, she wasn’t pregnant anymore, she was really pale… and she had a penis. When she was busy having a panic attack, suddenly the other white container opened up and a familiar woman emerged from it. She was embarrassed and trying to hide her body while yelling “What the hell are you doing?! You said that you would be sleeping in the capsule today!” in an angry voice. It was So-Ra, but she seemed different somehow, Nyx started to feel a strange sensation in her groin region while staring at the woman’s body.

She remained silent while awkwardly gazing at the beautiful girl and then Nyx finally said “Where’s Azrael?” in a relatively deep, masculine voice that she didn’t recognize.

So-Ra glared at Nyx for a moment and then started laughing hysterically, then she said “I knew something like this would happen eventually, welcome to Reality Nyx.” in a sarcastic voice while picking her cellphone off of the computer desk. She quickly called her superiors and said “You probably already realized this but, Michael has integrated into the game.” in an irritated voice as she listened to some yelling on the other side and then said “No, his body is fine, it’s just a code 7… no, I’m certain it’s not a code 13. Don’t worry, if anything dangerous happens I’ll keep you informed.” in a calm voice. After hanging up the phone, So-Ra sighed and said “I know you’re probably really shocked right now but… normally Michael, I mean Azrael would take a shower around this time. You’re using his body, so it would be best if you return it to him in a decent condition, right?” in a tired voice as she grabbed Michael’s wrist and pulled him out of the room, down the hall and into the bathroom.

More pain and discomfort than she had ever felt before in her entire life, suffering within a relatively small body that she didn’t even recognize. Nyx was deeply disturbed and just as deeply confused, she could barely even keep up with So-Ra’s explanations. She couldn’t breathe out of her nose, her eyes felt swollen, muscles were aching, dehydration, mild starvation, every time she breathed in deeply from her mouth she would start coughing uncontrollably. When she finally got into the shower and turned the boiling hot water on, she instantly scalded herself but it quickly started to feel good. Then her nose started running and she felt like she was going to vomit as she spat out a few ounces of mucus from the back of her throat. After drying herself off with a towel and wrapping it around her waist, she saw her appearance in the foggy mirror above the sink.

The face looked pretty much the same as Azrael’s but scaled down and there was a pretty shaggy unkempt beard. His hair was relatively short, but since she had always shaved her head, it felt very strange. The eyes were a different color, but still had the same familiar feeling to them. Although, the eyesight was terrible, so if she moved only a foot behind where she was standing before, she couldn’t barely tell what she was looking at. Strangely, his body looked much healthier than it felt, but it was no where near as attractive as Azrael was. After exiting the bathroom she immediately saw a fully clothed So-Ra, who was smiling and said “Let’s go on a date.” in a happy voice.

So-Ra, like Michael, spent most of her time each day playing Royal Road. However, since he suddenly had a fairly substantial amount of money now and his parents moved out of the house, So-Ra had become something akin to his Butler. He paid her a decent amount of money and all she really had to do was the normal, basic household chores that should probably would have done anyway if she lived alone. She really didn’t understand why he stayed in that same small, row house even though he had enough money to live in a fancy mansion, but it she didn’t want to pry. He was a complete mystery to her in many ways, but she did trust him to a certain extent and over the several months that they had lived together in the same room, he didn’t even hit on her. Which was fine, because she had Freya… which leads back to the nature of the ‘Date’ that she was dragging Nyx along on.

After dressing Nyx up in an expensive and extremely uncomfortable suit, So-Ra dragged her/him outside, into a completely unfamiliar world. Nyx didn’t say one word of protest, not that she had any idea what to protest about, she was even started to get used to her new body. The two of them entered the mysterious metallic creature(So-Ra’s Car) and then started traveling at incredible speeds through an ocean of buildings… the whole time Nyx had to struggle not to vomit from motion sickness. Michael never really got around to explaining the main reason why he never went anywhere, so So-Ra didn’t realize how much she was torturing Nyx. They finally arrived at the incredibly large and shiny tower that was called a hotel/mall. After leaving the car in a parking garage, the two of them entered a small room and quickly traveled upward for a few seconds, then they were at their destination.

A very fancy and overpriced hotel restaurant, So-Ra searched around the room for a few seconds, then briskly walked over to a table where two elderly humans, one male and one female, who looked very similar to her were sitting. Nyx nervously followed close behind and then quietly listened as the three of them spoke in a strange language she somehow understood. So-Ra pointed looked over to Nyx for a moment and then boldly said “Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend, Michael.” in a serious voice while smiling at them.

Her mother said “Aww, sweetie… he looks like a loser.” in a really happy voice, assuming he couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

Her father smiled and said “Isn’t he a little… white? Why can’t you just find a nice Korean man?” in a slightly serious tone while trying to maintain his excited appearance.

Nyx made an extremely upset expression while glaring at the two feeble looking humans, if they weren’t relatives of Azrael’s friend, she probably would have mercilessly beaten them both to death. Insulting her a dark orc’s husband is equivalent to challenging them to a duel, but at the moment, she was human. So-Ra had an angry look in her eyes as she said “He can understand everything you’re saying…” then she leaned in between her parents who were making apologetic expressions and whispered “He’s also extremely rich.” in a serious voice.

While sighing dramatically, both of her parents quickly stood up then said “We apologize for our rude behavior.” while bowing. While watching them, So-Ra smiled and snickered quietly, then all four people sat down at the table.

Luckily for Nyx, So-Ra kept her parents preoccupied and they still felt too embarrassed to ask ‘him’ any questions directly. The food was delicious, it was mostly lobster and steak, and the whole meeting ended without any strange incident happening. Nyx remained silent for the whole encounter and managed to avoid killing anyone, so So-Ra considered it a victory. After seeing her parents for the first time in many years, and managing to say goodbye to them without screaming obscenities or having anyone call the police… it was a good day. Of course she could never tell them that she was a lesbian, and that her actual lover only existed in a virtual reality game… they were just too old fashioned to understand.

After Nyx and So-Ra left the restaurant, her father whispered “It’s all happening exactly how you predicted Ae-Cha… pretty soon The Writer will enter the second phase of his plan.” in a serious voice while grinning.

Her mother laughed and said “I’m just so proud of our little girl, I always knew she was special… destiny sure is amazing. Our daughter is going to help destroy the world, and we’re lucky enough to get to watch her do it.” in a happy voice as she smiled at her husband.

Michael actually found his new, pregnant female dark orc body to be very comfortable. Apparently, NPCs didn’t experience nearly as much pain or discomfort as a normal human did in reality. He did have to sleep every night, but that wasn’t such a big deal. The only thing that annoyed him was having a working urinary and digestive system, but it still wasn’t nearly as disgusting as reality. Aside from that, he actually enjoyed fishing, when he could actually increase his proficiency. It was a little strange being turned on by his own nude and unconscious avatar that was still laying in the bed, almost like it was dead. If there wasn’t an unbreakable barrier surrounding it, he would have done all kinds of interesting and creative things to himself. He had to settle for the look but don’t touch, while touching himself policy… the whole time he was imagining some pretty extreme fantasies. The obsession stat is pretty interesting.

He never really understood how creepy Nyx really was, until he was inside of her body and abusing his special skills. So-Ra was still logged off, but he was able to stealthily watch Freya’s bizarre solo performance from only a few meters away. Normally he wouldn’t even slightly care, but while in her body, it caused some of his strangest desires to take shape. When she isn’t so distracted, Freya would be able to sense Nyx, but with so many tentacles whipping about like that… anyway, lots of voyeurism. The most interesting aspect of being female, strangely enough, was being able to sing all the songs he always had to struggle with, in Nyx’s natural voice. Even without a fancy singing skill, he was able to confidently sing even the most difficult songs with her beautiful voice.

Well, whenever you do anything like that for the first time, it seems you automatically receive some kind of skill or stat. Anyway, it took a whole three days for Azrael to finally wake up. Just as Michael expected, the consciousness was transferred both ways. He had considered the possibility that both of their minds had merged to such an extent that he only thought that he was Michael but he was actually just Nyx with his memories and personality. It was a relief that nothing too terrible happened to her, although from her telepathic explanation, she was the one who had it the roughest. The problem was that she had no idea how to use the skill Angelic Whispers properly, so she spent every day struggling to control it enough to switch their bodies back to normal.

Finally, Michael was able to crave his intense sexual desire… several times a day. At first Nyx was confused and very awkward, but since she had the advantage of telepathy, it was easy for her to know what to do. Unfortunately, in Nyx’s body, Michael didn’t have anywhere near his normal stamina… so he just relaxed and let her do most of the work. So-Ra and Freya thought the body swap was hilarious, but for some strange reason Liesl and Lorelei were deeply concerned. The Cotton Vine Kitten hadn’t been seen for a few months and everyone seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

Obviously Nyx couldn’t figure out how to switch bodies in less than a month, so Michael was able to give birth… again. It wasn’t nearly as painful as he expected it to be, labor only lasted a few minutes, but the real tragedy occurred as soon as he/she held the crying baby in his/her arms. It was pretty damn big, 20 lbs and 40 inches long, with light green skin and elven ears but aside from that it seemed pretty normal.

The cute little baby looked up at its mother and/or father and said “Oh hai Plague!” in a happy voice while smiling.

Michael in the body of Nyx yelled “Fucking Ceda!!!” in an extremely loud and angry voice.
