> EBA: Well done on conquering the 3 outposts! It is time to explore further, mistress!

(TODO Image: Eua lounging in frilly lingerie on the bed.)

My base also had a bedroom, so after finishing up the 3 dungeons and collecting my rewards, I decided to just enjoy doing nothing. When you work, you should work, and when you rest, you should rest. While it is true that as one of the Inspired my will is infinite, I also crave variety and don’t want the same meal every time.

> Documentation: Adna Berserker Bodies (rank 3.0)

> These bodies have similar make up to regular top of the line biologicals, but all the organs related to digestion have been removed and replaced with those that store pre-processed energy. This greatly increases the physical strength of the bodies as well as rendering them less susceptible to wounds. The downside is that once the energy runs out, the body dies.

> Estimated lifespan: 3 days.

> Compared to baseline Adna Bodies, the physical fitness is at around 30-40% higher.

> It is also possible to have the body enter a berserk state that has much faster energy consumption, but would increase physical fitness by another 50%.

> Estimated lifespan in berserker mode: 2h.

These were made for combat and nothing else. I am going to skip them as I want my redhead appearance to be my namesake for better or worse. Maybe it will just turn out to be vanity, I want people to know who I am when they look at me.

> Documentation: Qubica Base Stealth Shroud Stlth-1 (rank 3.0)

> A layer of smart material applied to objects that can render them invisible. Despite the name, it can work on organics as well. Comes with a program that can be used to synthesize it on any kind of object. Much like with stealth suits, there is a delay in synchronizing the data transfer of light, so objects moving at a speed faster than 10km/s will show distortions as they move.

This is useful. With the stealth suit, I couldn’t make my wielded weapons invisible, and this removes that weakness.

Still, the illusion drones can do stealth as well and are much more flexible. But the fact is, that just applies to myself. I have a big brain so I can use them to their full effect, but a human simply couldn’t supply the modeling data fast or accurately enough to create a credible illusion. A human would find these autonomous stealth materials much more convenient to use.

…

Hmmm, it does not feel right to just get rid of the berserker bodies. Let’s do it like this. Before the next HK tourney, how about I buy up all the biocrafting study material that I can and adapt my current look to one of those berserker bodies? I’ll ask Eloe to sell it to me. This would be an ideal compromise, and would give the Ruins Explorer me something to work on till the Heaven’s Key tournament.

I snap open my eyes and come to a decision. It is time. Let us memory merge, and then it is time for the date with Eloe!

When I logged in it was on a cliff overlooking the sunset far in the distance. I could hear the rustling of the waves a dozen feet below as the nestle against the rocks. In the distance I can see seagulls flying across the crimson sky, squawking as they go. A cool breeze blows over me, making me shiver involuntarily. I hold on to my hat so it doesn’t get blown away.

(TODO Image: A beautiful red haired girl in a white sundress and hat, holding onto it as she watches the sunset. The crimson sky is dyed blue and black the further it gets from the horizon. The skirt of her dress is billowing backwards. Her white open shoes are on grass, and she is resting her other hand on the wooden railing as she is enjoying the sight.)

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

After absorbing the sights, I spin on my heel, and with springy steps move towards the restaurant. Besides the owner, Eloe is the only person there. Our eyes meet and she waves over to me welcomingly. I start to feel heated as I imagine how the date is going to end, and clutch at my chest, but shake it off and soldier on, determination flaming in my eyes.

I push the door open and without bothering to close it walk up to Eloe.

“Hey, Euclid have a-mph!” I felt like it, so I got on my knees and wrapping my arms around her neck pulled her into a kiss. My lips locked with hers.

“Mmmhhhh!” I am not sure whether she wanted to speak, but I took the opportunity to sneak my tongue and intertwine it with hers.

“Mpphhh!” I explore her mouth savoring the taste of it. I lick her tongue, her teeth, her gums, every inch of her insides. It felt wonderful.

After half a minute, we parted, trailing saliva from our lips. Eloe was heated from the sudden assault, and my own heart was definitely pounding fast at what an unbelievable thing I had done. I smile at her affectionately and still on my knees, I lean forward and plant a light kiss on her lips and side of her mouth.

“Mistress, I am ready to become yours. Both your lover and your apprentice.” I declare. She pats me on the head and kisses my forehead.

“You naughty girl. What am I going to do with you?” Smiling at me in adoration, she leans forward and picks me up as if I was light as a feather and deposits me in her. “Kissing your mistress without permission?” She jokes, her smile turning into a grin. “You need correction. Am.”

Opening her mouth, she began lightly biting on my neck, before transitioning it into a kiss.

“Mhhhh!” The slightly sweet pain of her teeth digging into my skin along with the wetness of her lips and the tongue running over my nape drives me over the edge and I moan involuntarily. Her bites feel like I am being marked as her property, making my body shiver and melt from joy.

“Hah!” I exhale in pleasure. Eloe leaves a light bite on my shoulder and looks up at my stupefied face, completely taking back the upper hand after my initial assault.

“How about it? Are you ready?” Eloe asks me, placing her warm hand on my abdomen where my womb would be. I can almost feel it aching to be filled.

I look at her in the eyes, and give a nod, determined to see this adventure to the end. Eloe grips me in a princess carry and transfers subdomains along with me. To her bedroom.

The moment of passion did not last longer than half an hour, after which Eloe fell asleep defenselessly with me still embracing her under the covers. Sigh, that was great.

I didn’t think that when I’d first lost my virginity it would be as a woman, but whatever. As long as the program running my mind is happy, I am as well. That is the based path. Once I figure out how to put my brain core into illusion drones, I might go back to the male form on occasion.

Fufu, well I do not regret it at all though.

Eloe, who is next to me on the bed snores happily and I give her a light kiss. Sigh, mistress, you are too good at using the ‘detachables.’ I give her another kiss on the cheek just for that memory.

There is nothing to it. Since I do not need to sleep, I’ll warm her bed for a couple of hours until she wakes up and before parting, remind her of the synth pod request.

…

It wasn’t a big deal for me to do this. While many people can work hard, I’ve become based enough to actually enjoy it no matter what form it takes.

Eloe is a deep sleeper, and after 8.5 hours, she starts to wake.

“Mhhh!” I look at her affectionately from the side. She blinks her eyes slowly.

“Morning, my manly wife.” I give her a kiss. “You were great last night.”

“Euclid…” She hugs me closer to her chest and pats me on the head. She is really good at taking the lead no matter the circumstance. She strokes my head gently.

“Mistress…” It is difficult to do so under the bed, but she has a slim waist, and I manage to pass my arms around it, embracing her. We spend some time in each other’s arms, enjoying the warmth being transmitted through our bare bodies.

“Are you enjoying being a woman?” Eloe asks me, after some time while stroking my red haired scalp.

“Yes, I could never have had an experience like this as a man.” I told the truth. When you sacrifice a path, you open another path in turn. “I also like this redheaded body design I bought for you for 2 chips. I want to make it my default look. I found some Adna biological berserker body designs as well as synthesis programs, but they look different from my own. I want to adapt them, and in order to learn how to do that I’d like to request some synthesis learning materials from you, mistress.” It was an unusual early morning talk. We were still bare under the covers. “As your apprentice, of course.”

“...” She continues stroking my scalp with her hand.

“Also, remember my asking you about synthesis pods on our first date?” Before I could get in the next sentence, Eloe continued instead.

“Yeah, darling you earned that.” Releasing my head, she gave my plump buttocks a squeeze with both hands. “Your performance last night was really admirable. Keep it up!” She beamed.

Her comments incensed me. Narrowing my eyes at her, I pout and turn my back on her.

“Jeez! That is supposed to be because I optimized the power circulation for your assault drone, not for sleeping with you! Just who do you think I am!?” I raise my voice in anger.

“Eh?” She feigns surprise. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry darling.” She begins softly kissing me all over, trying to mollify me.

“Hya!” I yelp when she gives me a playful bite on the back of my neck. Behind me, I can hear her giggling. Hurriedly, I turn around and staring at each other’s eyes in silence, we initiate a deep, passionate kiss.
