Chapter 11 start: Seductive succubus.
The car cross the desert, the night and day alternate. Until finally, a civilization is found. A city of desert, sand made up the wall and the houses. The gate occupied by guard that wore sand armor. The line going to the gate is long like a snake, Merchant and slaves found between the line.
Right now all eyes are looking in a particular direction, the place where an irregular shape box is moving and carrying two people. Yes, the person in this ‘ box ‘ are Godolf and Ben.
They have been crossing the desert for weeks, proof for how big this world is compare to earth. Ben did try to make an airplane from being bored in the middle of the trip. However, proof true to his word, the airplane somehow crash mid flight. Not by any aggressive animal, or a mysterious power, but because Ben is not a pilot, meaning that he suck at controlling one.
It is good that Ben make an emergency parachute for himself or else he would have to experience broken bone and bruises. Which Ben didn’t really like.
Ben didn’t really need to worry about Godolf since he could jump from 1000 meter in the air, and won’t feel the slightest itch from falling that high.
Coming back to the present, Ben saw a long line leading to some type of yellowish country which he called Sand city, just from how the entire place seem to be made of sand. Heck! Even the shirt of the guard guarding the entrance are made of sand. A unique looking shoes on their foot. Ben called it sand Nike.
Joke aside, right now they are attracting major attention from everyone, even the guard seem to be wary of them. Just from the sweat falling out of their head.
Finally, one of the two guard shouted, “ STOP!! Can we see your passport sir?”. Hearing what the guard say, Ben is dumbfounded. Turning to face Godolf he asked, “ Umm.. I never heard you need some type of identification to get in here, so what do we do now? “. With Godolf responding, “ I don’t know either, been lock in that mountain for twenty long years. Just used to remember how they usually just charge you a copper to get in. ”
Getting the respond, Ben asked the guard, ” Is copper coins allowed?”. The guard knowingly said, ” Since sir do not have or wanted to show your passport, we will make an exception just for you! Charging only 10 copper coins per cart. And when I said cart, we do include that rectangular box as one. ”
Seeing the smug guard, Ben hesitate but eventually give in. Making ten pure copper coin. Giving it to the guard and whisper in his ear, ” since you give me an exception, I could not disregard your kindness. These copper coin I gave you are not an ordinary copper. They are PURE copper, so if you can find a good place to exchange, I think you may even get a silver coin in return. ”
Pocketing the coin into his sanded pouch, the guard smile and led Lambo in. When inside the gate, Ben and Godolf notice the wide expanses of the road where 5 people holding hand could not cover all of it and an abundant of one-story sanded houses. With a roof and at least one hole window.
The guard all smile, give Ben and Godolf an information regarding the city, ” Welcome to our oasis in the midst of the desert Traveller! The land of heaven called Sand kingdom! It consists of three zones. The third zone being in the outer perimeter of the city, called: slum. In this place, people are talentless and worthless so we do not have to mention more. Now onto the second zone! Passing the gate that separates the slum, you will arrive in the second zone called: Citizen. In this place, people do not have talent, but they put in the effort for the well being of the kingdom, earning food and shelter in return. In here people are either doing craft or farming. Craft include many variety such as an artisan, blacksmith, pot work, or painting. Next is farming, a holy job to sustain people. Working in this profession people could either breed animal, plant a carnivorous plant or grow sand weed. Now finally, the first zone. This zone is located in the very middle of the city, consisting of a very talented individual such as the king or the crown prince. People here have a various profession such as alchemist, spiritual master, priest, bodybuilder and Kung Fu. In here people can manage the business and become rich, the land of opportunity. By the way, we guard was an unmentioned profession, the one who protects the city and earning respect from the people.” The guard said, being smug the moment he mentions his last sentence.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Ben organizes the information he gains from the guard and could not help but thought, ” this poor guard probably wanted to say that badly. Not knowing that he is just one of the cannon fodder. ”
Saying all that, the guard says good luck and left Ben and Godolf alone to wander the city with their Lambo. Driving around the city, Ben was satisfied with people reaction of surprised. Opting to do this more in the future. So an hour later, they finally arrive at a gate separating the third and the second zone. Driving into the second zone, they saw a huge difference. In here people are many, going around bargaining and being loud. The business seems to be very flourish.
So the moment when people saw a weird looking box moving, they start shouting, ” Hey! What’s that? ”. Hearing the person word, everyone turns around to look. Then a gasp start sounding, with some shouting, ” Monster!”. Of course that some did not move from their position, curious about this abnormal box.
Ben and Godolf need to stop because of this situation, stuck in the crowded of people asking a question and expressing their wonder. Not long later, people part presenting a fat chubby man wearing luxurious cloth in the middle walking to the car. The man stares intently at Lambo, and after a long period of silence, he present a price, ” 10 Gold. No, 100 Gold, sell it to me. ” Hearing his word, Ben couldn’t help but shut him down knowing full well the trouble he will come across. ” Sorry, not selling. This is a cursed relic which only our family are allowed to use. Letting you ride it, may make it curse you and being a good man, I don’t want to make more trouble, so please excuse me. ”
The word cursed, seemingly doing the trick make everyone in the street including the noble fat man to stay away from Lambo. Proofing easier to move around in the zone. So Ben seeing this, speed away out of the crowd into the third zone. Not caring about the guard guarding the entrance.
But this display attracts a certain gaze of women, on the second floor of a building. ” hmm.. What is that magic? Being freed after a hundred year can make one missed a lot of thing. ” There a women sat, showing her beautiful smooth calf and a perfect bounce on her cleavage. A succubus in a human skin, attracting and breathtaking all the men in the building. Standing up the women whisper licking her lips sexually, ” Time for some snack.”
At night, in a certain two-story building, there’s a scream for help. A man screams. ” Stop! Please forgive me! I.. I didn’t mean it, I will never agai.. ” But before he could finish his word, there is a sudden smacking sound and a liquidly sucking noise. Then silence, the man died, his skin wither down to his bone, a smile stuck on his lips.
” That’s is not satisfying.. He only last three hours somewhat. Disappointed! Never mind maybe I can try that guy on the box, he look to have a lot of fat. ” smiled women, licking her lips. She had a small horn on her head and a wing sprouting from her back. Jumping out of the window, she flew away to the night star, leaving the husk of an empty man behind, eternally sleeping on a bed. Liquid dripping from its side, the juice of love.
If observed carefully, the seductive succubus are actually the same person that is in the building before.
The Succubus is coming for Ben, what will happen to him now?
