Zephir's POV
Zephir after having wore the collar and losing his power, he was powerless against Verina, of course he was a man and all but she was simply too strong. In a way she used mixed martial arts of sorts to put him in place and made him crawl on the floor, he didn't know why but she threated him like a dog. Every time he tried to talk with even a hint of self respect, she beat him up to the ground and he appeared back in the spawn point.
Right at his spawn point Verina had erected a large cage with only one door. If he was obedient she would feed him, otherwise she would educate him by beating him up or just outmost killed him with a single angry glare.
After a few days he decided to submit to her will, the reason was that strong emotions made Verina explode with psychic powers and he felt some headaches later when he revived. It showed how powerfull she was, if she was a little more powerfull she would probably make a fine member for the funny stars.
Days pass and he felt miserable, some day he could hear sounds of battle throughout the house, large angry wails that were probably Verina's doing and some sort of explosive sound, his mind instantly connected them to one person.
"Blood-Red Diva, she came"
He said with renewed hope, he had a rather intimate relationship with one of the Divas but she only came at most once or twice a year to have fun with him and if she found him with someone else there was always trouble to be had, so he hid his lovers whenever that time came.
This time however he was happy, he looked at the sex toys and other small supplements that were outside his cage and the torturer's tables where a few maids were lying. Verina tortured him by not letting him to have contact with any female for days now, while she herself did many naughty things to his Npc maids to tease him.
When the sounds stopped Verina came in all bloody and full of wounds. He was surprised, the Divas were supposed to be really strong but for some reason Verina was still alive and in a really bad mood.
Verina begun freeing the maids after reprograming them a little, she even made them more battle oriented.
They were like battle robots right now from the anime series when they went into battle mode, although they had only one target set to attack on sight.
Zephir didn't know what time it was but sounds from outside showed that the battle had started once more.
Zephir was becoming restless as the sounds stopped once more and Verina came inside once more full of wounds and blood.
"Red, It will be you kneeling the next time"
Verina said giving Zephir a rather bad premonition.
'If Verina lost why hasn't Blood-red come for me?'
He didn't know Blood-red too well but he knew that she was extremely lustful when it came to her personality, some could even call her a slut, if of course they wanted to die. Zephir now understood something else it wasn't only Sex that Red was after, it was excitement. Fighting with Verina probably gave her more excitement than having sex with him.
Another day passed by and Red was back, he could hear the booming noices and the wails once more but this time it ended quite early, he was rather happy right now as he thought that Red had gotten bored of her, red was known for her short temper and arrogance.
Zephir was bowing towards the door and as it opened shouted.
"Mistress!"
He would have shouted help but his eyes died at the sight of the smiling Verina and behind her following Simon and Red. Red looked as if she was in pain and he could see a power sealing collar on her neck.
"lets put her on the table"
Verina said and helped Simon strap her body to one of the torture tables, she tried to talk but after biting her tongue off it was impossible for her.
"Do you have any medicine?"
Verina asked Zephir.
Taken by surprise Zephir didn't answer fast enough earning a hit from Verina's whip.
"Maids go bring me all the medicine you can find!"
Verina shouted.
To her comand came back only one maid, the last surviving one of the fourteen maids Zephir had in his possession,
but as she entered the room she fell down becoming a ragdoll droping all the drugs on the floor.
Verina looked at them one by one and then took three of them in her hands.
"When I tell you, deactivate whatever ability you are using"
She ordered Simon and after putting a round gag with a whole in the middle in Red's mouth and testing if the bottle with the medicine fit in she shouted. "Now!"
Her hands dripped the strange liquid in Red's mouth.
Red didn't want to drink it but since it was a virtual world it didn't really matter, as the liquid touched her she begun healing rapidly, her tongue appeared once more but she could do nothing to prevent it or resist.
The collar's power was simply too strong, even she one of the divas was vulnerable to it's effect.
The thing is that only eleven people can unlock a sealing collar, either one of the Divas or the Empress herself.
There's of course another way to unseal them but it's very laborious and difficult way, you need a hacker to change your ID inside the virtual world, which is somewhat difficult to do without help from the outside world.
Zephir was left speachless lookig at Simon taking off Red's leather armor made him somewhat smirk inside.
'The two noobs don't know who they are messing with'
Zephir was more knowledgable about the Divas since he was bedding one and it was a knowledge that if the two in front of him knew they would kneel for forgiveness or so he thought.
======================================================================================
Simon's POV
"You are free to do whatever you want to her now"
Verina said to him, he didn't care what was happening and who the girl strapped on the table was.
Even if she were a guardian like himself he wouldn't care one bit about it right now.
With his bare hands he begun tearing apart the strange leather costume, revealing the white tender skin for her feet.
He couldn't resist not touching the soft skin of the now crying beauty, she was probably trying to say something but she could not with the round cycle gag in her mouth, keeping her mouth open.
"Don't hate me"
Simon whispered to her ear.
"If you want to I can even free you from your bonds"
He said but he could see only disbelief and hatred on her face.
"Verina, would you mind if I take her away?"
He asked but Verina was to preoccupied making sex with Zephir right now to care about him.
"Let's go"
He said to the red head as he begun untying her bonds.
She was probably surprised by his actions, as she took off the gag herself and asked him somewhat puzzled, as her face became somewhat twisted as she tried to understand what he was thinking.
"Are you an idiot?"
She asked, she could of course try suiciding again but that wasn't her style, the leather that covered her legs and feet was already a little loose but she could still run away if she tried.
"Lets go somewhere else to talk"
He said as he led her outside, Verina's moans were really getting on his nerves now.
They were now heading to the teleporter when he asked her.
"Would you mind if I live in your place for some time?"
It probably came to her as a surprise, but she understood that he had some wierd power, so if he knew her home adress it would be a disaster, since her spawn point was there.
"Whatever"
Simon said seeing that she wasn't willing and led her to the teleportater.
======================================================================================
Red's POV
Red found fighting with the strange woman in Zephir's house amusing, her psychic powers were weak but her physical prowness and determination more than made her a worthy oponent.
The strange woman(Verina) sent waves of psychic force to cancel her own psychic power which was augmented with 100% more power right now, meaning that it was double her real power, she could raise it nine more times if she wanted to but it was useless for her right now since her opponent was struggling even with her prior power.
Red's power was pyrokinetic blast, a mix of pyrokinesis and and telekinesis, it creates a small bomb where she wanted it to be, but she could still use the two powers seperately if she wanted.
Red was her nickname as in her family only she took her mother's red hair. Her mother was non other than the Empress herself and her sisters were the other nine Divas, very few knew this fact but even they didn't tell it to others because of some private reasons.
Red liked two things in a man, strength and obedience, she wanted her partner to be powerful even more powerfull than her but to obey her orders, it was short of contradicting itself but it didn't matter.
Two times she had defeated the strange woman, the second times she had even made Npc battle maids to attack her, it was rather funny as they flew in the air with jet boosters of sorts and shot missiles at her.
Of course Red who could use both telekinesis and pyrokinesis to a certain degree was almost invincible, not to tell that she could simply deactivate them with a few simple commands which of course she didn't do.
The third time something strange happened, she was once more about to finish the fight when she was tackled by a strange young man and her psychic powers were disabled. Of course she understood that it was his doing but as she tried to wear a collar on his neck to seal his powers she ended wearing it herself.
The rest was a walk of shame and almost being raped by him. She wasn't sure as to why he untied her but his behavior was strange.
The accursed collar wasn't something too complex, in reality it seperated the real body from the virtual reality one, making it impossible to conect with the system, it was like imprisoning their minds inside the virtual world.
"Would you mind if I live in your place for some time?"
These words gave her goosebumps, she hadn't thought of this situation, if he found her spawning point he could do whatever he wanted to her, well until one of her sisters decides to drop in out of the blue but even that could simply end as a disaster since Red didn't have too good relationships with the others.
The strange man brought her to a ruined house, the furniture was all in shreds, the tables cut in half and there was a large hole in one of the walls.
"What would you like to drink?"
The man asked, she didn't know what to say, the house was in ruins and the man was now in front of a bent fridge decorated with many cut marks.
"I know, Lets have something heavy today"
He said as he took out of the bridge a bottle of vodka. Normally if he wasn't a guardian he would only have juices to offer, because he's a minor, but as a guardian the aged didn't matter anymore.
He took two large glasses and put a slice of lemon inside and then begun purring vadka like water.
Red was in for a drink right now, her day was simply too shitty.
One drink became two drinks and their tongues became loose as they begun talking about themselves and their problems. His name was Simon and he had just broken up with his girlfriend, the strange girl was Verina his childhood friend who likes Zephir. Red told to him about her own situations, her mother is a piece of shit and doesn't cares even if she and her sisters drop dead.
Once when she was at school she had a boyfriend, he was a nice guy but he was like real weak, but she liked how he obeyed her every word as if she was a goddess, if she asked him to kill himself he would have probably done so. After school they still kept calling one another but the man ended up dying because he was a member of the revs, she even found out that he was spying on her and had a whole file on her in his notes.
From then on she only went out with guardians and other powerful psychics.
"By the way can you take off this collar for me?"
She asked somewhat dizzy.
"Wait I know someone who can"
He said as he stood up from the shredded couch they shared.
"Darknym you Piece of shit come over here right now!"
He shouted in the air but nothing happened.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"Who is...Darknym?"
Red asked somewhat leaning to the side with a new full glass in her hand, dripping on the couch.
"Please?...Hik"
He As if asked to the air visibly drunk.
Red couldn't believe her eyes when the masked man appeared before them and shouted.
"Simon you drunk minor piece of shit do you know what hour it is!"
"Em...Hour!"
He said as he fell on the couch once more he didn't want to stand up any longer and his arms made way for the bottle that was now on the couch.
Red laughed at this goofy scene, she didn't understand what was happening but she didn't care.
"Ah? and what is one of Merry's daughters doing here?"
The masked man asked.
"You know Mom, I mean the Empress?"
Red asked surprised.
"Better than I would have liked to"
The man said as he took off his mask, grabbed the bottle from Simon's hands and begun drinking it like water.
"Much better, You know I was your mother's ex-husband"
He said making her and Simon open their mouths in surprise, Red didn't know but Simon was totally drunk right now, he would probably remember nothing about today after he woke up, he had simply drunk one too many drinks and originaly far more times than her.
"You know if it wasn't for me she wouldn't even be as strong as you right now"
He said gulping another bottle that appeared out of thin air, of course in her dizzy state she didn't understand that he just made it appear. In truth Merry's talent as a psychic was just average or could even be called poor in this future world.
"Do you know what that bitch did?"
He said with a rather angry tone that made Red scared.
"She killed me, can you believe it, after all I did for her, she went and killed me in my sleep"
Red didn't really understand what he was saying and too it as alcohol talking, after all he was alive right in front of her at the moment but he did look rather handsome.
They spend some time drinking and him telling her how he met her mother and other stuff until she fell asleep, Simon was asleep even before that.
"Do you know what comes after death?"
Darknym said probably drunk as they were both already asleep.
"A second chance and after that another and another, if the god wasn't benevolent I would have long been dead"
He said now looking at the two sleeping people who were sitting at his left and right.
======================================================================================
Kaj's POV
Kaj had a major fall out with Simon, she didn't want to at first but after she found how his used his secret rooms it was inevitable. It was when she found Jazz, the npc sex slave that used to be his teacher, that she begun shouting at him, of course there was no way for him to know that she knew about Jazz.
She now was in Allastar, sailing on her boat as Jak Rapier but in her/his heart there was a chaos of loss and regret, she was somewhat accustomed to the young scoundrel.
She thought that he would call her first thing in the next hour, but it didn't happen, nor the next day.
Jak's ship was making circles in the water, as they went round and round, the crew was getting restless not knowing what was happening, when suddenly a call from Simon came.
-Kaj?, Kaj?-
"Simon, did you..."
She was about to ask when suddenly.
-Hello-
He said and ended the call.
"It was a gag call!"
Kaj was enraged, she logged out from the game and charged to Simon's home, she didn't know if he was inside but when she arrived she could hear a female voice from inside.
"Stop...don't...no more...(giggling)"
Kaj didn't care now she knocked on the door enraged. She knew that she couldn't open the door forcefully, no one could but she was really mad right now.
The door opened and she gave him a punch in the face with all her strength. Of course she hadn't expected that the one who opened the door wasn't Simon.
Darknym didn't even blink from her punch.
"Simon, you drunken scoundrel your obnoxious wife is hitting on me!"
Darknym said making Kaj shrink in terror but from behind him she could see Simon's face who had rushed to the door at the mention of his wife.
"Oh Kaj, I didn't expect you to come...hik...come inside"
He said as he leaned against Darknym piss drunk, he probably didn't even remember giving her a call.
Kaj wanted to shout and dismember him once more but she was not in the mood right now. She saw that the house was like new and the waiting room was a lot larger than before, there was a fireplace and numerous decorations that made the mood rather strange.
There was room for many more than the four of them but she didn't know why Darknym was there.
"Stop it!"
Red shouted once more in distress as Darknym was trying to massage her foot with his tongue.
"I told you it's called reflexology"
He said as he tried to do so again.
Kaj was sitting next to the Goofy Simon, who didn't seem to understand what was happening around.
Suddenly he kissed her, she didn't know why but she too longed for his kiss right now and after things took their natural course.
======================================================================================
Mary's POV
Lidie and Galie spent most of their time exploring the city, Mary followed them although they had left the guild while she was still a member.
Lidie and Galie were now Dueling in the training hall, they had decided on not using psychic powers in this duel.
The reason for that was Simon as he had done a huge number on them mentaly. To Lidie he was a devil while to Galie he was a despicable person, of course she didn't know that the same person was now drinking with her father and sharing their hearts contents.
Three days now Galie's father hasn't come home from the virtual world and she used them to the outmost.
"Lets go"
Lidie said as she charged with a wooden shield and sword.
Galie had a staff, it was Lidie's idea but the reason was because Galie was a mage so fighting with staffs was a necessity.
Bunk!
Galie blocked the sword that went towards her with her staff bend over her head.
Bunk!
Lidie pushed her with her shield, dropping her on her ass once more.
Mary could only laugh inside, this spectacle has gone on for days now. Galie didn't really understand why and when she must dodge or block a hit.
Of course the spectacle was reversed every time Galie uses her psychic powers leaving Lidie on the ground, her powers were simply too terrorizing even for her meager Ki level she could make rather heavy things fly, Mary could only imagine how powerful Galie's real powers were after seeing her nerfed ones.
"Lidie why can't I control the output of my psychic powers, its too wastefull"
Galie asked, making Mary somewhat jealous.
"Galie, if you wish to control the output you must first get a psychic based profession, there are two known right now both being exclusive to monks"
Mary who was more experienced than them said.
"Mary, why do you never play with us?"
Galie asked making Lidie somewhat angry since she didn't see it as playing, it was training.
"Because you two are like real weak at the moment, If I tried to duel with any of you it will be a one hit Kill"
Mary said boastfully.
"I don't believe you"
Galie said making Mary smirk and laugh.
"Wait for me to get some weapon from the box"
Mary said as she went to the box getting a large wooden axe and five wooden knives.
"Now I will educate you a little of how fights in Allastar work"
Mary said.
Galie looked at her somewhat questionably while Lidie went to one side to watch the duel and said.
"Ready?"
The two girls begun taking a stance, Mary who took off the eyepatch for the duel took a rather agressive stance, holding her axe with both hands.
Galie didn't understand why Mary wore an eyepatch, her eye was fine but Galie as always just took a rather basic defensive stance. You have to understand that the eyepatch was an accessory that granted some bonuses, not to say that it was a set item.
"Go!"
Lidie shouted and Mary's knives one by one begun shooting at Galie in high speed, galie's Kinetic shield was large but it was only a 100Ki shield.
The knives with kinetic force one by one broke her shield and scratched at her body. Mary did that on purpose to show Galie their difference in Ki power.
"This was ranged use of Telekinesis, of course at some point our powers will simply neutralize one another but at the moment mine are stronger than yours"
Mary explained to Galie, of course there were still ways to overcome that problem but for Galie right now they were far beyond her reach.
"Now get ready for melee"
Mary said as she was now in range to fight with her axe, Mary didn't even use the axe head, she simply bumped the axe's handle into Lidie's staff pushing her a few steps back.
Galie didn't even undestand when Mary had used telekinesis but her kinetic shield had broken once more.
Galie was no longer conceited and begun using her psychic powers more agressively, she used mind flay but to a veteran such attacks were useless, Since at some point all players gain some resistance to metal attacks. It only took one second and Galie's scream and the match was over.
Mary had deliberately missed her but the axe moved too fast, she had used telekinesis to hasten her own attack speed which was a rather basic way of using telekinesis, the axe landing next to her head.
"So Galie, do you understand how weak you two are right now"
Mary said as she offered to help her stand up.
"Hmph"
Galie pouted and didn't take the hand and just levitated up from the floor, she was somewhat argry right now but she still thought that it was sheer luck that she lost.
"I only lost because I'm new to the game"
Galie said, she was somewhat right but her arrogant appearance made Mary somewhat angry.
"Do you want another go?"
Mary asked the rather conceited Galaxia.
"Of course"
Galaxia said.
This time she stood with the staff in one hand and with the other she held a rather small wooden hammer.
Mary had gathered her knives and was making an attack plan in her mind when Lidie shouted.
"Ready?"
Mary had deviced a rather crafty plan, although she didn't think she would have a need for it.
"Go!"
Lidie shouted and Mary charged at Galie, at middle range she saw Galie throwing the knife, it was a sure miss but she didn't lose vigilance.
The knife in midflight begun becoming larger and larger, it was now at the size of a greatsword but it's speed was that of the earlier knife.
Mary didn't understand what sort of power that was but she saw that Galie looked rather exhausted.
Mary charged at her, but the sword suddenly changed direction, the floor was for some reason rather slipery. Mary saw the floor begun distorting somehow and the sword passed right next to her face.
If it was smaller she would have redirected it but it was impossible to do it to a greatsword.
Mary thought that it had ended but at the moment she reached Galie's sword flew back and hit her from behind, Mary somewhat stumbled and hit face first on the floor.
"See, if I get a little serious I can win against you quite easily"
Galie said as she extended her arm to help her up.
Mary laughed as she stood up.
"You know Galie, you might be strong but what I see is you will 90% lose if you don't know your opponent's abilities, you have a long way to go"
Galie probably hadn't seen but there were four knives at the floor behind her.
"You know Galie, even if you gave me a critical hit, I wouldn't have died, I'm a lot more durable than you, in one move your Hp can drop to zero by me"
Mary said and one of the knives jumped on Galie.
Galie tried to evade but it was pointless, the speed of the wooden knife was too great. With one single knife Galie was propelled into the air and landed face first into the ground. This was the first time Galie experienced death inside the game.
