Vol 3: Chap 1: New Developments

AND we're back in bysiness fellas! (Actually I wanted to name the chapter this xD)

Anyways, ENJOY!!

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

'A flower in each hand.'

This was once said by a God. But I disagree with that God.

The statement is vague. Extremely vague.

Questions like "What kind of flowers?", "What are those flowers doing?" or "Are those actual flowers?" come to mind.

Instead of answering those questions, isn't it better to just reform the statement with hightened precision?

'A naked girl in each arm.'

Now that's what I call "to the mark".

Some questions may still arise but its leagues better than the original.

Oh you're wondering why I'm saying this? You're not? Don't tell me you already know!? 

For whomever is confused, that statement is custom made to suite my current situation.

Does that mean I have a naked girl in each of my arms?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Currently, we're on the eleventh floor of the dungeon and six weeks have passed since we entered. I know eleven floors is little progress in six weeks but there are reasons for that. 3 reasons to be exact.

Firstly, to train my two naked women.(Okay, that came out wrong.)

What I mean is, Pauli and Shirley training in combat. I've been having them fight against a single skeleton opponent at a time to build up experience. The number of skeletons they could simultaneously take on increased and now they can handle a group of 4 at a time(but that only includes normal skeletons).

The second reason is that we were running low on food supplies so we had to come out of the dungeon to hunt for meat and gather fruits/herbs. Unfortunately, the 

dungeon only has undead monsters so they don't drop meat.

The third reason is to obtain items. Some of the floor bosses dropped incredibly nice items so we would stay a couple of days on the same floor to get it again. The only problem was that we had to wait an entire day before we could obtain the item again. The items I'm talking about are the best drops a monster could drop and my ability to get them worked once a day. The items were so rare that you wouldn't obtain one even if you fought 50 times(believe me, I tried). Though, it all worked out well enough since it gave me more time to train my two naked women(I mean it both ways *wink*). 

Alright. Now that I'm done with the brief information session, let me get back to my original description of my current situation.

Hmm.. To my right is the Shirley Mountain Range. And to my left are the Pauli Hills. And I love both of them. Who is to say which is better? The Shirley mountains are higher while the Pauli hills have harsher conditions. Climbing up each is a different experience but the result is the same: Bliss. 

For anyone who didn't get it, I'm talking about boobs. Lovely pairs of boobs on my lovely pair of women. That's right. MY women.

In this time interval of 4 weeks, I found out a lot of things about both of them. Firstly, Shirley is extremely kind and gentle but also the more jealous type. She loves to foreplay more and works hard to please her partner. But if I pay more attention to Pauli, she gets upset and refuses to talk to me. But again, due to her kind personality, she doesn't stay like that for long.

Pauli is a complete opposite. I never would have guessed that she'd be like that in bed. The best phrase to describe her is a wild animal. A mostly carefree wild animal at that. I say carefree because she almost never cares if I'm doing Shirley first as long as she gets a go until she's satisfied. Yes, until she's satisfied. This is the part where the wild animal comes in. Once we start, she goes out of control! She doesn't stop until her SP drops down to absolute 0! I can only imagine what would happens once her level gets high enough to supply enough SP for the whole day. Even though I'm confident in my own SP, it still gives me the shudders just thinking about it.

But either way I've come to love both of them and in very different ways too. Pauli had been the love of my life so you can say she has had the upper hand but not so much actually. This is because of her reserved nature. She doesn't open herself all that much even after coming this far and I can rarely tell what she is thinking. Even though we're officially a couple in real life and she still comes to eat lunch with me, she doesn't show her feelings very much. Just rarely and even that doesn't last long. 

Shirley, on the other hand, is like an open book. And I don't mean it in a bad way. Neither do I always know what she's thinking. But the fact is, she tells me that herself. She's shared quite a lot of stuff with me about her past life, the life she left behind so she could follow me in my adventure: Her parents had died when she was young and was taken in by her aunt who was also the owner of the inn. The inn didn't have many customers at that time either but occasionally a few people would stop by from their own village for some food and rarely an outsider or two. She told me how after her aunt had passed away, she tried her best to keep the inn up and running in her memory but eventually, she realised it was all for naught. She told me about the numerous times she's considered ending her own life but always chickened out in the end. She called herself a coward but she soon got to the brighter side of things. She told me how she's thankful everyday that I came to their village and to her inn or otherwise what may have happened. She told me that I was her saviour. She told me she loved me...

To the previous me, a talk like that may have been extremely embarrassing but something's changed. I don't know if it always works but I do have a theory behind it. Once you see someone naked, the things you do or share are not embarrassing anymore. 

Anyways, back to my current situation one more time. We finished fighting on the 11th floor and are now taking a rest in the safe room after some more 'tiresome' activities. The monsters we faught here on this floor were the original [White Skeleton]s as well as the new [Grey Skeleton]s. The [Grey Skeleton]s are a more powerful version of [White Skeleton]s. They started appearing since this floor, so it makes me wonder whether it's a new monster every 10 floors. 

It's almost time to be logging out soon. Our next fight is with the boss monster so we'll be doing it the next time for the best item. We always do the boss fights on a new day for the same reason. 

That reminds me, before I log out, let me tell you about the items we obtained from the bosses. We defeated the floor 1 boss once more so I have another one of the spike shields, so now I use both dual-wielding. 

From the second boss, I obtained this.

Alther Boney Necklace

Made from the remains of the last of the Alther race.

Effects:

Defence +10

Magic Attack Resistance +5%

Physical Attack Resistance +5%

It was a necklace made out of bones(probably why it was called 'Boney' lol). Also, it boosted some stats I had never seen before so I asked Trichia about it. This was her reply.

"There are many stats as such which cannot be directly interfered by the user and can be only be increased by items or spells. For example [Defence] is a stat which decreases the damage you take. Each piece of clothing you wear has a definite value for every such stat but it is not usually known to the user.    You can only find these descriptions on items such as the [Alther Bony Necklace] that explicitly affects the stats. Also, for the sake of comparision, let me tell you that your current clothing provides 2.75 [Defence] altogether. The value is very small when you consider the individual items that its hardly useful to the user. Its only the system that keeps track of everything." (Trichia)

I could see what she was getting at. And considering that the necklace in question provided provided 3-4 times more defense than the leather armour that I was wearing, it was definitely an awesome item. We had gotten 3 of them and each of us was wearing one.

The item from the 3th floor boss was-

Rhombic Sphere

Designed and crafted by Kaliif, the least favourite desciple of a dark mage.

Spells:

Blot           MP: 1000

Absorbs an incoming spell and saves it in the Rhombic Sphere for later use.

(Only one spell can be saved at a time. If cast again, the new spell replaces the old one.)

Unbind      MP: 1000

Release stored spell.

(The Rhombic Sphere gets destroyed after one use of this spell.)

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

This item was amazing too(apart from its name). It could practically block a user against any and all magic attacks. Though, the mana requirement was a disaster. Its more correct to say that it could block any spell as long as the user had mana. Right now I was the only one who could even use it but I wouldn't, for I duel-wielded the [Spike Shield]s and I didn't have a third hand, unfortunately. So this one was going to stay in my inventory.

The fourth floor boss yeilded this-

Dark Mana Crystal(1000/1000)

A Dark Mana Crystal forms in an area when Dark Mana is present in extremely high concentrations.

Effects:

Generates 1 mana/minute.

Spells:

Intake

Absorb the remnant mana in the crystal into the user's body.

It was a good item too. But we didn't have any magic users yet so this should have went into my inventory but actually, we did have a magic user now so this item went to her. Which is the reason why we actually got two of those. They were given to Shirley. She only became a magic user recently so you'll have to wait till I finish my other explainations before I come to that.

This was our reward on the fifth floor-

Dark Plum

A fruit that only grows on the Dark Plum tree.

Effects:

+100 all stats for 10 minutes on consumption.

Its description was one of the wierdest yet. If the Dark Plum didn't grow on the Dark Plum Tree, where else was it supoosed to?

Either way, its affects were amazing. It was something you should eat before going in for a boss fight but unfortunately we only got one of these and moved on. The reason was that both of my female compatriots refused to eat it. The thing resembled a plum only in shape. The color of it was pitch black, and really ominous. It actually reminded me of the wierd fog at the entrance of the dungeon. The reactions of my two companions were sort of similar to when we encountered the black fog, though only this time, they were more inclined towards disgust than fear.

Anyways, let's move onto our next item on the list. The 6th floor bounty-

Proscelian Robe

The Traditional Robe worn by every Wrath King of Proscelia on his day of coronation.

Effects:

Charm +50 

Requirements:

Effects only valid when worn by one of the masculine gender.

No comments on the effects of the robe. (Though the girls did say I looked more handsome in it.)

It was a dark coloured robe but not as much as the [Dark Plum]. The cloth was black but silky which caused it to reflect light at certain angles. It was embroidered with silver linings and had a picture of a man's face burning in a green fire on its back. That picture was the only creepy part but we ignored it and got 10 of those robes. Shirley said that she could make some clothes from the robe material. This was also something good for her as she had quite a bit of free time when we were gone and she used to get bored. This was good for us too because we really didn't have much in the way of spare clothes. 

From the items I had in my inventory that I had taken from the inn, I took out any and all sewing material I could find and handed it off to Shirley each time we would log out. By now, both Pauli and me had a new set of clothes made for us exclusively, by Shirley. The robe material was incredibly comfortable and Shirley's skill with weaving made it even better. Thus, I used it to finally replace my Leather Armor that I had gotten from the hobgoblin. It was a lot of appreciation from my part since after my shirt was torn away, the Leather Armor felt really uncomfortable.

Anyways, next is the seventh floor item, which was strangly enough another [Dark Plum]. Since I had thus gotten two, I ate one for the fight with the 8th floor boss. The taste was blunt. It was nothing like a normal plum and even I didn't feel like eating another when I could get Shirley's awesome cooking.

Now onto the item from the 8th floor boss-

Ripening Rapier

The favourite weapon of Blutanos, the dark king of Fersmanland.

Effects: 

STR +50

12% chance to inflict a slow working poison when attacking an enemy.

Well, what can I say? It definitely was the best weopen we had obtained yet but again, useless against undead opponents. This one went in Pauli's inventory since mine was too full of random stuff.

Our victory on the 9th floor led us to this-

Mask of Malevolence

This mask was worn for the unholy ceremonies of the Crimson Tribe.

Effects:

+40% chances of success when performing an unholy ritual.

This one went straight to the inventory. Considering the fact that I got it as a best item, it was supposed to be amazing but unfortunately none of us here wanted anything to do with it. Maybe, it could be sold for a high price later on.

Now for the one that I can without any hesitance claim is the best one yet. The item from the level 10 boss-

Grimoire of Adlan

Written by one of the Necromancer Princes known for bringing down an entire army by himself.

Spell:

Learn    MP 10

Learn the secrets of the spell contained within this Grimoire.

(Once this spell has been used, the item is destroyed).

It was risky. The description of the book gave no information about the spell but the possibility of it being an awesome overpowered spell led us to try.

I decided to use it on myself in case it was something bad but my worries were unneeded.

Lesser Summon Undead Soldier MP 200

Summons a [Lesser White Skeleton Soldier LVL 20] to fight for the user.

Lesser Summon Undead Archer MP 200

Summons a [Lesser White Skeleton Archer LVL 20] to fight for the user.

It was these 2 spells that I obtained. My reaction at the time was:

"This is AWESOME!!! This spell is bloody amazing! An actual active spell that I can use in battle! And the spell is definitely a high levelled one!" (Me)

I had immediately tried out the first and a [Lower White Skeleton Soldier LVL 20] rose from the ground. It wasn't like the ones we had met on the first floor as they attacked with their bare hands and this one had a sword. We had actually encountered enemies like these on the floors below 5, though they were way more high levelled than these summons.

I tried the spell in fights and the skeleton attacked anyone automatically that it perceived as an enemy of mine. 

We stayed on the floor for 3 days and now each of us had these 2 spells at our disposal.

This was the moment when we actually decided that Shirley would take on as a mage. She herself felt useless in battles and thus, readily accepted this proposal. Thus from now on, it was decided that she would be putting most of her points in INT so she could have a big enough supply of mana. Right now she could only use the spell twice at a time before she ran out of mana but it would soon change. This is also the reason why she was given the [Dark Mana Crystal]s. And if you were to take those into account, she could use the spell 6 times. 

Well, I could use it about a hundred times but I won't. The reason is that it was an active spell and using it won't increase my mastery. But more importantly, it was going to be Shirley's thing and I definitely wasn't going to take her spotlight.

Phew, that was long. Now that I'm done, I think I should get on my way.

I grabbed a greedy kiss from either side and contendedly said:

"Log out". (Me)

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

My first time trying sexy stuff. Tried to keep it low or moderate. Tell me if its over. Thanks in advance!
