I..I beg your pardon? What did she just ask me?

“What…?”

“I didn’t stutter did I?” she said

That was kind of a dick response...

“Could…you…explain..?” I’d manage to ask

“Oh! Right, I should do that.” She clears her throat “Let’s just say the Undercity has a variety entertainment for everyone, from the most normal to the most depraved. You’ve seen The Ring probably or at least heard it right?”

I’d just nod to that.

“There’s a certain crowd, willing to pay some really good coin if you how should I say it? Bring out the animal from inside them. I know what your thinking, no, I’m not asking you to become a whore or go suck some cock, no one would believe that an Elf like you would be a whore.”

I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean…but...thanks...?

“So, all you’d need to do is wear what the crowd votes for. The more of these weirdos you make all hot and itchy in the pants just from the looks you give them the more coin you’d get. You’re following me right?”

“How..does…this…help…?”

“Was just getting to that part. Since they’ve got your scent, they’d probably tail you the second you enter the Undercity. Now, this Half-Orc couple is easily manipulated emotionally, so it won’t be hard to get the one with the balls to drop all the hate and light ablaze that feeling of lust towards you.”

I..I honestly don’t even know what to say to this….

This is certainly a plan with a lot of cons and a lot of pros. Maybe more cons…

But…the coin wouldn’t be a bad thing and I can’t have two people trying to kill me for..no real reason…

I don’t know if I should blame Alyssum for this…but….not that I could even start that conversation with her right now.

I guess with the coin I could do some betting in the Ring..and earn more

“How..much…?” I’d ask

A grin would come to her face.

“Now you’re feeling me, blue eyes. First of course you’d need to be accepted, that shouldn’t be a problem in your case. That should be about twenty-five gold just for entering. Next step is to please the viewers which again, in your case shouldn’t be hard. You could earn about five hundred gold just tonight if everything goes right.”

Five….hundred….just from getting some cocks hard? That…that seems to easy to be true.

But I don’t feel like I’ve got much of a choice in accepting or rejecting this offer....

I’d just nod at Alyssum.

“So, you’re up for it?” she asked

“Y-yes..” I’d rub my arm

“Great! You know your way to the Undercity right?”

“I..have…a guide…”

“Should be good enough then. So, could you put me back down?” she’d ask

I’d extend my hand to her and she’d hop on. I’d lower her to the ground awkwardly since I tried to cover my privates again. Once she hoped off my hand she started walking the way I was coming from, she glanced back to me.

“I’ll find you once you’re in the city.” She said

Yeah…

I’ve got a bad feeling about this, but I can’t turn back. I need the Undercity as a resource for my escape. I’d stand back up and would head back to my cell quietly. I couldn’t really think of anything to say. Guess I just felt a little bit uncomfortable or something like it.

I’d reach my cell and would take a seat on my bed and sigh.

Do I need to rethink my plans? Or is this whole thing going to be over with after a night? Naoko should be there with me, so I don’t think I need to be that fearful. At least, I hope.

I’d actually pick up the bowls and spoons I had collected and raised them in front of me. I forgot that I needed to test this.

“Inventory.” I’d say

All the small wooden items would glow for a second before seemingly disintegrating and the particles would flow into me. I’d then open my inventory to see that everything was there, stacked. Thank god for stacking. My weight limit wasn’t big though now that I noticed.

I guess I’ll need to travel kind of light unless I carry around a bunch of backpacks. I can figure it out later. I’d pick up my notebook and started to write down the plan that was just proposed to me. And that I might not make it back. It feels like I’m writing a last will that no one will read.

But by the time I finished writing I noticed how everyone was getting back to their cells, so time had passed. Both glad and terrified at that. I’m getting closer to this..

I placed my notebook back away and just waited for the guard to come remove my collar. After that I laid down and got some sleep like the first time. I’d rather be semi rested than not rested at all.

Once again, I was woken my tomboy guardian. I’d rub my eyes as I sat up.

“Ready?” I heard Naoko’s voice ask me

I finished rubbing my eyes and stood and gave her a nod. But before I could step forward I felt her suddenly pick me up and like last time sprinted the entire way to the Undercity. I couldn’t catch a glimpse of where she went to get here. It all happened in a flash.

I can’t imagine full blooded Pantherians or, well I should just call them Catfolk. Their speed now that I’m here should be unreal. I know they have unlimited stamina for running and other non combat tasks requiring it. Pantherians don’t have unlimited stamina though, so Naoko must have put a lot of points into it.

I think I’ll put my Level points into Health once I reach Level two. It scales based on how much your starting stats are. So with my god awful Health and Stamina I should not get much of an increase, but an increase nonetheless. But since I’ve got high magic I could easily increase it to three hundred just by reaching the next level.

Some builds, if you’re smart and crafty can be a nightmare when it comes to PVP and dungeon raids.

“Hey, Ynnessa.” Naoko spoke

Oh right, I forgot what I was doing for a second. I opened my eyes and once again was met with the lights of the Undercity. She let me down and I stared at the place for a second. I can’t believe that this still isn’t a weird and elaborate dream. It’s…It’s just real

Crazy either way.

I’d turn to Naoko.

“Um..I…met a…fairy….She….should…be…here…soon…” I’d tell her

“A fairy? I didn’t think you’d go out of your way to make friends you know.” She placed a hand on her hip and laughed

“Not…exactly..” I rubbed my arm

“Don’t tell me you’re in some trouble?” she asked, her tone going from playful to a more serious one

“That’s exactly what she’s in” both of us would hear Alyssum’s voice

In a flash Naoko’s hand would move from her hip and would catch Alyssum mid flight.

“Talk or a squeeze.” Naoko said

God she’s scary. In a good way though…

Shit, the Fairy effect! I need to…wait…nothing is happening…

Did she roll nothing on the theoretical die? Fucks sake man…

I’d reach out to her arm.

“Don’t..hurt…” I’d say

“Yes, please don’t!” Alyssum would say, struggling with her words

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Naoko gave me a side glance but did let go of Alyssum. Once let go she coughed into her small hands before speaking.

“Thank you for that, blue eyes. So..I didn’t know you knew the fighting cat lady. That’s actually pretty good to know.”

“Why don’t you tell me about why she’s in trouble.” Naoko says motioning to me

“I’m guessing you know the Brynt couple?” Alyssum asks

Naoko would nod with a sigh.

“The gambling addicts and emotional savages? That’s what I hear of them, nothing good.”

“Right, right. So, both of them are trying to kill me and our voluptuous petite elf here.” She chuckled awkwardly

Oh, so she was kind of scared, mostly of Naoko since she was glaring at her intently at the moment.

“And you have an idea on how to make that not happen? Or were you planning on using Ynnessa as bait to save your own ass?” Naoko asked

“What? No! No no no no. Didn’t even cross my mind, but I did have a plan. We’re going to enter her into the Fad show.”

Naoko would glance at me for a second.

“And you agreed to it?” she asked me

“Y-yes..”

She looked back to Alyssum.

“You don’t plan on taking any of the coin if she wins?”

“If? She’s definitely going to win. Just look at her! But no, not taking anything. But since you’ll be in the crowd, you can deal with the two. How does that sound?”

Naoko would glance at me again, then sigh.

“Fine. Let’s go.”

“Perfect! Don’t worry, blue eyes, nothing bad will happen to you. I promise!”

Besides public humiliation…

I’d nod at the little fairy’s words. I had to put my trust in her.

After a few more questions asked by Naoko the three of us heading into the city. Alyssum would lead us down streets I didn’t see last time until we reached a…large…red…tent? How did a circus tent like this get down here?

Smuggling…right…I forgot that existed for a second.

Alyssum led us around the back where she asked Naoko to wait outside since it she’s quite the big name in most places. Her being in the crowd would be enough of a slight distraction for everyone.

Alyssum, standing on my shoulder would tell me to head to the very back of the tent. She seemed quite familiar with this place which made me wonder.

“How…do..you..know..so much..?” I asked her

“About the tent or this particular show?” she replied with a question of her own

“Both..” I was kind of curious

“Well it all started when I had my first seven kids about fifty years ago. I went through all the emotions of joy and looking forward to having a happy family life with my husband. I got bored after I realized I just enjoyed the fucking so I left them.”

Jesus Christ....that’s…that’s a lot..

“And after that I went on exploration of sorts. Fairy men just don’t cut it anymore, neither do Fairy women. It’s basically the same really. So, I went whoring all around with women. But my escapades were kind of difficult when you consider not everyone has a thing for a woman the size of your cunt. Of course with the blessings of magic I could get creative and make some interesting memories.” she chuckled

I think my face is slightly turning red as I hear this. Jesus she's freaky..and so open about it...

“But, before I knew it I found myself under arrest under the accusation of sexual harassment and was thrown in here. Now, the Fad Show is led by a dear friend of mine. We call her Gold, she’s a Dragon-born, been here for a while as well.” She said

Alright…

I really hope she wasn’t ogling me…much of ever…nut..I doubt it sadly..

“There.” She tapped my ear

I looked to where she pointed and saw a door that was open. Alyssum flew off my shoulder and knocked on the door. I stopped for a second and watched her speak what I guessed was Draconian. I was surprised that I didn’t know this language since Elves do have a connection with Dragons in the lore.

It didn’t take a minute before Alyssum was motioning to me to go to her. I’d hesitantly move forward until I reached her.

“Alright, so, you’re going to need to impress her from here on out, she’ll put you right on stage for the next show which happens in less than an hour. So, I’ll find our cat woman and get into position.” She said before flying away

“Wai…” I’d weakly call out as she left but she was gone, just like that

I gulped before turning back to the door. With the door slightly opened, all I could see inside was a well kept desk with a scaly hand writing something. That was the Dragon-born probably. Her scales were dark as obsidian or well…

Ebony. Was that her heritage? An Ebony Dragon-born? I guess the name Gold makes sense. I extend a hand slightly towards the door, at the same time I saw her hand lower the pen it was holding. Shakily I’d step inside.

“Do me a favor and close the door.” Gold’s voice reached me

It wasn’t like the Mistress’s soft one and almost motherly one. It was very much a strict and commanding one. But, to her words I did indeed close the door and turned around to face her.

The Ebony Dragon-born stood from her desk slowly, she wore a one piece dress which showed off both her sideboob and inner sideboob at the same time, it showed off a bit of her stomach until it stopped right above her waist, the width grew slightly because the size of her large curvy hips, but the skirt reached down to her feet, neither of her legs covered.

God she was beautiful. I've never been into furry or scaly stuff, but..this was different

I looked up to her eyes which were a deep purple, you could consider her eyes actual amethysts when you gazed deep into them. She had no horns, not that many of the female Dragon-born had any. Males were more likely, but the fact that she was this big meant she had a strong heritage.

She was almost triple my size if I could guess. Her boobs motioned like mine with each step she took, her legs looked smooth despite the scales she had. I could basically see how big her ass was from here. Her eyes looked down on me.

“Thank you.” She said before starting to circle me slowly

Her dress showed off her legs as she walked around me. I felt like I was in the same room as the embodiment of confidence.

“Alyssum tells me that you want to enter my show tonight.”

I’d just nod.

“Your natural beauty is a pleasant surprise to me, it isn’t common for someone not fit for this show to be presented to me.” She said “Have you ever done such a show before?”

I’d shake my head. My eyes were looking straight as she stood behind me. I felt her large hand lift my hair. I felt her smell my hair before dropping it.

“For being in this pitiful place your natural scent hasn’t been tainted.” She complimented me I think

She moved back around until she stopped in front of me. She lowered herself until she was on my eye level.

“An Elf of your beauty should be quite the increase in profits even if just for a night.” She raised herself back up

She lifted her hand and I saw a nail extend into a claw. With a quick motion of her hand my prison rags were cut into pieces. My face would go even more red as I tried to cover myself and fell to my knees. My eyes were looking at her feet as my body slightly shook.

“Is this an act?” she asked me

Yes, this is my favorite act, the shy bimbo…

I’d shake my head.

“Refreshing. That innocence, that face. Both should be perfect for tonight’s theme. Now, stand.” She said

I’d hesitate, but I got up slowly. I lowered my arms to my sides. I didn’t like being exposed like this, but something in me, just made me feel hot. Just having one person in front of me felt intimate in a sense. I guess I have a thing for strong women…

Albeit my surprising arousal to this situation my head was facing the ground, my body lightly trembling. I saw her hand reach towards me and grab one of my breasts. She squeezed it which made me lightly moan.

“A gifted natural body as well. Acceptable.” She said

That made me look up at her. Did that mean that she accepted me?

“You’ll be on stage tonight, a large percentage of profits you earn will be given to you after the show.” She informed me before snapping her fingers

Out of thin air two small dragons would appear on her shoulders. She’d speak in her native tongue before the dragons would disappear and reappear with the same set of prison clothes, but more well maintained. One of the dragons flew over to me and dropped it in my hands.

“Silver will take you to the back where you’ll get ready. Put that on for now.” She said

“T-thank…you..” I said before putting on the new old rags

They felt the same but didn’t have much dirt or cuts on it which was nice. There was a knock on the door as I finished putting my clothes on and Gold simply reached to the door and opened it. Outside stood a woman slightly taller than me, she was a female Minotaur to my surprise. She was a half blood most likely.

“Silver.” Gold spoke to her “Put her up tonight.” She motioned to me

“As you command, Lady Gold.” She replied looking to me

“You may go, I do hope you don’t disappoint for the night.” Gold said as she sat back at her desk

I just nodded and stepped outside, Silver closed the door and then stared at me for a second.

“I hope you do impress for both of our sake.” She said

For a Minotaur she was both small and quite carefree, most of her body was covered in fur so if I were to guess one of her parents was another Beastfolk, maybe a Lycan.

Silver would lead me up a few steps and through a few rooms that were either empty of filled with some sort of equipment. She led me into a larger room which had about five different dressing spaces. She led to one of them and told me to wait.

I took a bit to look around. At my dressing station was some…armor? Or at least I think it was. Wait…oh…I know what I’m going to be putting on…

This is chain mail…in the shape of a triangle…ah…great…

Before I could contemplate the fact that I would be wearing a typical chain bikini I noticed that four other people had entered this area. I heard Silver clear her throat.

“If I could have your attention.” She said “And by attention, I’d like all of you to line up in front of me.”

Oh, I should better do that. The five of us lined up in front of Silver. She walked from one end to the other as she began to speak.

“Tonight’s theme as voted by our patrons is modern human armors. You’ve all been given a set of chain mail as voted by our patrons. All of you are first timers and so I shall explains what not to do. First, do not step off the stage, second do not speak to the patrons, third do not compromise other contestants. All of you shall receive compensation after the show. The more patrons you make donate, the bigger share you get. You are to show yourselves off in this armor.” She explained

“In the current crowd we have Humans, Dwarves, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Halflings. Now for the rules behind the stage, you are not to speak to each other, you are not to discuss payment with each other, you are not to share your winnings, you may speak with each other after three weeks post the current show. If all of you understand me, then nod.” She said

I nodded myself but glanced to my side to see the rest nod as well.

“Your compliance is appreciated, all of you shall receive a little bonus if you continue to follow the rules word for word.”

And with that Silver made her way to the curtains she brought me in from.

“Once I return all of you should be changed.”

She stepped out and was gone just like that. The five of us separated, following the rules given. The little dressing station had some curtains which I could pull out to not be exposed, but I noticed that some others didn’t even bother to do that, not really ashamed or shy of their bodies. I did bite my lip at the sight...

One day I’ll have that confidence…..One day…until then....I'll be my..pathetic self..

I’d take off my newly given rags and would pick up the chain mail bikini bottom. It’s like it was literally ripped out from an old fantasy book. And it was cold on the outside, but the inside had fur to I guess warm your waist?

I put it on and it was a bit of a tight fit for my waist, my thighs were basically bulging in a sense. My stomach also gently bulged at the chain mail bottom. The top is going to be even worse I already know it.

I picked it up, it had the same cold outer and had fur for the inside, I never thought feeling real chain mail would feel weird. I took about three minutes to put it on, but Christ was it a tight fit. There wasn’t any mirror here, but just looking down at my boobs I saw that the straps I had will break if I left this on for long.

The jiggling was more intense than usual as I stepped around in my dressing station. My face was beat red, I knew it, I was going into super uncomfortable territory here, but I think I’d do pretty much anything to not have anyone wanting to kill me. My body was still trembling, but I had to do this.

I pulled away the curtain and just then Silver returned.

“Are you ready?” she asked all of us

I guess the show was going to begin
