15 Chapter 13: Bussiness. Is. Fuckin'. Boomin!

After hanging out with Butrint for another hour, I headed back home. I was met with a weird sight.

"Please calm down!" Albana was saying. Dhelpra and Dinaka were crying and meowing loudly.

"What happened?" I said.

Albana gave me a letter. It read:

You two have brought shame to the family by submitting yourself to your brothers' murderer. We have disowned you from the family.

Pretty harsh treatment.

"Hey calm down," I said.

"But what will we do now shief, meow?" Dhelpra said.

"We don't have a family and we lost the rights to become shiefs of the tribe," Dinaka said, crying.

"Hey listen," I said and grabbed their soft hands, "we are a family now. All of us here. You two don't need your tribe anymore. Is that understood?"

"Yes shief!" Dhelpra said.

A look of relief overcame them.

She and Dinaka then hugged me. Albana was in the background looking out of place.

"You too, Albana. Come here," I said and she joined in on the group hug.

After that, we headed over to the furra to get some breakfast.

"Hey, it's you, you're that flying man, right?" a stranger from behind me said.

"Oh yeah, what's up?" I said.

The girls were looking at the man with suspicion, ready to attack.

"Oh no nothing, I just wanted to say hi," he said.

"Okay, cool enough."

I turned around and continued talking to my girls.

I bought 4 gjevrek and 2 burek me mesh. We ate while walking to the dungeon.

"Shief! Shief! I don't want this bread stuff, meow!" Dhelpra said, bouncing up and down.

"Shut up and eat!" I said, and slapped her huge boobs.

"We have to start saving so we can invest more money into Capital Krasniqi."

I had explained to the girls about the company formation from last night and the name we had chosen.

"Capital Krasniqi is a good name," Albana said.

"Thanks," I said. "Okay, listen up: Butrint said that the floor information we gave him last night was good, so today let's aim to clear floor 12 and document everything to sell it."

"Okay good plan, but not in public!" Albana said, and slapped my hand away. It turned out I was unconsciously fondling Dhelpra's boobs while talking.

"Also, I was thinking, maybe we need to get a room with more beds now that we have Dhelpra and Dinaka..."

"I am fine with sleeping with shief, meow!" Dinaka said.

"Me too, meow! Shief can touch me as much as he wants to, meow," Dhelpra said.

Albana started pouting.

"I know, but, it will be uncomfortable for all three of you to share one bed, right?"

"Don't worry zemra, you can still sleep with me at night. We'll just put the two beds together and all sleep together. Okay zemra ime?"

Albana was blushing. "O-Okay zemra."

***

After a few hours and a lot of fighting, we were now on the 12th Floor.

The environment was a complete change from the 11th Fireant Floor. All the walls were hard and black. And there were also a few weeds growing in the ground. Magic crystals from the ceiling lighted the dungeon.

Dhelpra and Dinaka started sniffing loudly.

"Eeeee! I smell dogs, meow!" Dinaka said.

They both looked scared.

"Stop being pussies, pun intended," I said.

Albana was still in the center calmly mapping the floor.

"Let's head left," she said.

We entered a big room. In the corner of the room were some big, black dogs resting. Upon us entering, they stood up growling and got ready to attack. We had invaded their territory. I could tell from the smell of pee all around.

"Stick to formation! Don't charge. And let them come to us!" I said.

Albana was chanting and loading an Earthbullet with her staff.

Dhelpra and Dinaka were in front of her ready to defend. I also made a big Earthbullet and fired.

I killed two of the dogs running towards us.

Then Albana fired and missed her target.

Then the rest of the dogs reached Dhelpra and Dinaka and they started fighting. They were good at holding down the dogs, but sometimes they would get hit.

I and Albana kept firing Earthbullets from behind.

One dog made it past Dhelpra and leaped for Albana.

"AAAAHH!" I yelled, and cut it in half midair with my machete.

After another minute of fighting, we had killed all the dogs.

"That was a close one. We need a different strategy for dealing with these monsters," I said.

Albana was healing Dhelpra and Dinaka's cuts and scratches.

"Can't shief just make another big Fireball like last time, meow?" Dinaka said.

"No, that's too dangerous. The ceiling could collapse or we could get smoke poisoning," I said. "I actually have another idea how we could more effectively fight the dogs...".

When we entered the next room and encountered a group of monster wolves, I quickly created a circle of earth spears around us, then created a platform beneath us that elevated us so we could fire from above.

I had never created such a complex earth structure with magic, so I felt that it drained a lot of mana. Maybe 1/5 of my mana was drained. But I still had a lot more.

Recently I had started to get reference experience for the insane amount of mana I had while I was fighting and gaining more combat experience.

Also, I could tell the more I fought, the easier it was to fight, and the easier it was to make offensive magic.

The wolves attacked us.

Many of them stupidly impaled themselves on the spears. And a lot of them died on the way from Earthbullets. And the ones that did reach inside the spear circle, were killed by Dhelpra and Dinaka stabbing them from the elevated position.

Two minutes passed and all the wolves were dead.

"Whoa, that was easy, meow," Dhelpra said.

They hadn't even reached us this time, so Albana didn't need to cast healing magic on anyone.

"I'm starting to run out of mana," Albana said.

"Okay, from now on you will only cast healing magic. I'll do all the offensive magic."

I thought it was better to not let Albana cast any offensive spells at all and have her focus on only Support Magic, but she said she wanted the combat experience to 'level up'.

And I could always just support her when she ran out of mana, since I had so much.

Also, Dhelpra and Dinaka seemed to have limitless stamina. And they were way better than me with the swords.

We kept clearing rooms with this strategy. The more earth structures I created, the less mana each construction consumed.

After fighting another 5 groups of wolf and dog-type monsters, we reached the boss room. It was huge just like the Queen Fireant room. And in the center was a huge Alpha Wolf. It was about 5 times bigger than me.

It hadn't spotted us yet.

"I'm s-scared, meow," Dhelpra said.

For some reason Dinaka and Dhelpra were scared of dog-type monsters. When we fought the other monsters on the way to this floor, they just sliced through them without any fear. But on this floor they were really scared, especially in front of this boss monster.

"Everyone get back!" I said.

I started loading an Eartbullet just as big as the Fireball I used against the Queen Fireant.

I fired it at the Alpha Wolf.

"Huh?"

The Alpha Wolf jumped away and dodged the bullet.

Amazing reflexes.

It was now running straight towards me.

I created a huge spear wall, but it jumped over it.

"Okay, you wanna go! Ta qifsha nonen!" I said.

I started imagining the huge mountains back in Dukagjina while concentrating my Imagination Magic.

"Watch out!" Albana screamed.

The Alpha Wolf was 10 meters in front of me and now leaped at me.

Then, from the ground and up, I created a huge spearwall and impaled the Alpha Wolf into the ceiling.

It was still alive but couldn't move.

Dhelpra and Dinaka went over to it and finished it off. I sat down on my butt.

My hands were shaking.

Albana went over to me and started hugging me.

"That was so scary," she said.

"I know, don't worry zemra," I said.

***

Afterwards I flew over to Butrint with the loot and the floor information.

Albana named this floor the "Floor of the Warring Dog Tribes". I also remembered that I hadn't seen Mimoza in a while or accepted any quests, so I also wanted to visit her.

While I opened the door to Butrint's apartment I said, "Hey shoki how's business going?"

I was then taken aback upon entry.

The entire apartment was crowded. There were workers, boxes and paperwork everywhere. It was very loud inside and everyone was running around.

Butrint came over to me.

"Business. Is. Fuckin'. Boomin shoki!" he said.

I guess that Rapid Organisation System we created was working. It wasn't that long ago since this apartment was pretty much empty.

"Holy shit it's busy bir. Anyway I brought the loot and floor information from floor 12."

"Well I brought you something too bir."

he took out a bundle of cash from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Holy shit shoki, how much money is that?"

"5000, and more is coming. I had to reinvest most of the capital we put in, but here is a little of the profits so you can maintain your lifestyle and keep working. I know that it must have been hard getting by without selling the loot and information immediately," he said.

God Butrint was smart. I had tried to hide this fact from him and everyone, but he could see right through it.

We spoke for another hour. Turns out he has started about 10 new ventures. The biggest one is starting a company furra. I'll make sure to only eat from there when it opens. He was also very busy with automating all of the systems we had created for the ROS. Especially the merit list system.

***

I went outside and flew over to the adventurer guild. Inside was a pouting Mimoza.

"Hmph," she said.

"What's wrong, zemra ime?" I said.

"Good you could remember me. How long has it been? One year? two years?"

"I could never forget you Mimoza," I said and grabbed her by the waist and gave her a kiss.

She started blushing. Then in reaction slapped me. But still let me hold her.

"You think you can just come here and do what you wanna do, huh?" she said.

I gave her another kiss.

"Can you give me another quest similar to the one from last time? Where I have to collect something high up that's hard to reach?"

"We don't really have any of them available right now. But I think I've got one that works for you, here," she said and gave me a paper with a quest on it.

"It's a quest to kill a pack of monster wolves near that mountain. Should be easy. The pay is 100 euros and if you do a few of these you should be able to rank up to D pretty soon and get better quests."

Just great -- More wolves. To be honest, that Alpha Wolf terrified me. But I accepted the quest anyway.

"Oh, by the way can you help me with something?" I said.

"Yeah... what is it?"

"It's just because I have this itch on me I want you to check and help out with," I said.

"O-Okay? I guess."

"Good!"

I grabbed her hand and dragged her into the bathroom. She was a little shocked but followed me in anyway, smiling.

"So how can I help out?" Mimoza said.

"Just face towards that wall," I said and pushed her up the wall.

I grabbed her from behind and started dry humping her ass and fondling her huge boobs.

"N-No fucking, Arben!"

"Oh no, don't worry. You are just helping me with an itch I've had all day."

"Okay that's fine, but don't try anything!"

While dry humping her, I kept fondling her boobs with my left hand and started fingering her through her pants with my right hand.

"Arben, I said no fi-" I put my left hand into her mouth and got her to start sucking my fingers.

I also started sucking her ears.

I put my hand through her pants and felt she was starting to get wet. She was really hot and moaning.

I pulled away.

"Well thanks for helping with my itch. I'll see you tomorrow when I'm done with the quest," I said.

"What! You're just gonna leave now! Hey come back here!" she said as I ran out.

***

It was night time now. I was flying in the sky headed back to my inn.

I imagined pushing Dinaka on the bed and shoving her face into the mattress while I fucked her from behind.

I was really horny and couldn't wait to get back to my girls.

Then, while flying, something really hard hit my leg and broke it, and I started spinning around uncontrollably towards the ground.

I tried to gain control and prevent or soften the crash. But I hit the ground hard.

"Awww! Fucking shit! Ta qifsha nonen!" I screamed.

Then a net covered my entire body, and started tangling me.

Before I could react I was surrounded from all sides by guys dressed in black.

I instinctively started using fire magic to burn the net, but before I could do that, my head got bashed in and I got knocked out unconscious.

***

What happened next I have replayed a lot, and keep thinking about how meaningless and unnecessary killing him was.

While I was knocked unconscious, I must have automatically started healing myself, which reduced the swelling and damage I took from the bash.

So I woke up and felt my hands and feet tied together by chain, my entire body covered in a net, and being carried on someone's shoulder.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a young man right behind me, making eye contact with me and looking confused.

"Hey, he's awake!" he said.

By reaction, I used Dragon Breath to burn through the net and killed him, turning his entire body black in 3 seconds (I wonder if he was an orphan or had some kind of family who had to watch this beautiful young man's body now destroyed), then turned my mouth to the back of the big guy that was carrying me and burned him.

He dropped me on the ground while screaming.

I aimed at him again, but got hit really hard behind my head again and everything went dark.

I keep replaying this scene.

There was no reason to kill that young man.

Here was a kid who had probably grown up in the slums of Prishtina, started training himself with a wooden sword, joined a company and started doing easy tasks.

Then one day, he was to act as a junior support to a simple kidnapping, and he just happened to be walking behind my face. And upon waking up, I killed him from fear and survival instinct.

Along with Vlado and Miroslav and the others, this person keeps appearing in my mind once a week, still 84 years later.

***

I woke up again soon after, but this time with my mouth gagged and face covered. I started struggling and screaming, and was soon knocked out again.

I followed this pattern of waking up, struggling, then getting knocked out maybe 10 times.

After a while, I woke up again. I had no idea how much time had passed.

This time with nothing covering my head or body.

I could feel something tied to my feet. And everything felt sandy.

I opened my eyes and first saw the clear blue sky. It was a nice sunny day.

I then turned my attention to the sounds. It was awfully loud.

I was still disoriented.

I stood up.

"HE IS AWAKE!" I heard a really loud voice say from a distance. It sounded like an announcer.

I now looked around and took in my surroundings...
