Ch 13 Day 29-33

(5800 words)

- Day 29 -

It was almost afternoon when I and the majority of the girls got up. After the big move from yesterday, we were all tired, so the extra bit of sleep was needed.

The twins were awake the earliest, so there was food ready for everyone when we got to the dining table.

While eating, I couldn't help but notice the one thing that stood out. The little Orc girl.

The Orc girl stood out from the rest of us, as she is the only one with a monster like appearance.

I also think she noticed this, because she barely interacts with others and keeps out of the way. Though, this could also be because of the abuse she received from the Orcs that used to torture her.

Though, she wasn't distant towards me and instead, preferred to be in my presense. And because she tends to stay near me, like most of my girls, she is often talked to. Whether she understands or not, I don't know, but it is better than nothing.

As I looked at her and thought about a way to get her to open up, without the use of [Mind Magic], I remembered that I got that [Humanization] ability from my system. With that, I could help her fit in and maybe make her mine.

When we had all finished eating, I decided to go do some exercise and then went over to the Orc girl.

I got close, kneeled down to her height and spoke to her.

"Hey there little one."

"Hello..." She replied to me quietly and shyly.

I started stroking her head. She flinched a little when she saw my hand approach, but also leaned into it, hoping she would be patted, and she was.

"I was wondering, how would you like to look like the rest of us?"

She looked at me confusedly.

"I have an ability to make you look like us and I was thinking it would help you fit in better. So, what do you say?"

She stared at me quietly and then nodded slightly.

Receiving her nod, I smiled and used my [Humanization] ability.

With the use of the ability, the Orc girl suddenly began glowing, creating a bright white light. I had to cover my eyes from the blinding light and thought.

'What kind of Pokemon shit is going on here...'

After a few seconds, the light disappeared and in place of the Orc girl, a young dark, chocolate skinned girl was sitting there. She is actually very pretty, with short silver hair, a fringe that covers her left eye, two pig-like ears with silver-ish fur and golden-brown irises. An appearance of a thirteen year old girl, though malnourished, still appears to be developing well. And coming from her lower back, a long, silver furred tail. (A/N: I don't have a picture for this, but I do have one for when she will evolve.)

"Wow... That is quite a change. How are you feeling?"

I was pretty shocked by the change, from ugly Orc to cute girl.

"I feel strange, but okay..." She was inspecting her body as she answered. Surprisingly, she answered in the human language, so that is another benefit I guess.

When she was done looking herself over, she looked at me and jumped, hugging me.

"Thank you." She muffledly said to me, before looking up at me.

"Could... Could I have a name, please?" There was a hopeful glint in her eye.

I stroked her soft silver hair and smiled as I answered.

"Of course. How do you feel about 'Eris'?"

A small, happy smile appeared on her face.

"I like it!" Her voice was quiet, but there was a note of confidence that wasn't there before.

"That's good. How about I go make you some new clothes?"

Suddenly realising her lack of clothes, Eris blushed a little and nodded. But, she didn't let go, so I picked her up and took her with me to make her clothes.

---

After Eris got her clothes, which were awfully revealing by her request, I took her to be properly introduced to the others and left her with them.

I went outside to deal with the captives. Starting by making an entire underground prison about 50 metres away, which could hold a hundred prisoners in separate cells and is only accessible with [Terrakinesis].

Going to the captives, I started destroying their minds and then I implanted commands into them. Essentially, I turned them into NPC's.

Getting them to carry the three Goblins, I made them follow me and took them over to the prison.

To make it short, I made them enter the prison and start mating with each other...

If you don't understand why, then I'll just say it. I am building the population.

I know, this might seem confusing, considering I killed all the other Goblins, but... Okay, yeah, I messed up before, but no biggie.

Before, I was concerned about the others already being "willful", so to speak and didn't know I could destroy their minds, so I took the course of action I though best at the time.

Regardless, I can start anew and make the new members worship me. I will be their Lord, who they won't dare to disobey.

Yes. That will be very nice indeed.

The worst part about this idea, is that I will have to make frequent visits to deliver food.

Anyways, the captives had their orders and I don't want to watch them fulfil them, so I decided to head back to the base.

I went in and immediately saw Asue being restrained.

"Come on! I want to play with my pickaxe!" She was flailing her arms and legs as she wailed.

"You can't! You'll ruin the base, and Rou spent so much time making it!" Kanami berated her, as she sat on Asue's back.

Sighing, I walked over to them.

"Okay, you two. Kanami, thanks for making sure nothing was destroyed. Asue, come with me and we'll start a mine, which you can go to whenever you want."

Asue got exited and jumped up, sending Kanami into the air. I quickly caught Kanami and put her down gently, so that she doesn't get hurt.

Before I could say anything, Asue grabbed my arm and me pulled away to show me where she would like the mine to start.

When we got there, which was just beside the base exit and the Blacksmith, I started digging into the rock and built a whole storeroom, which started going down into the actual mine.

With everything set for her, Asue started mining like it was natural to her. I shrugged and joined her in the mine for the day. I want some more Spirit Stones to eat and I want to get to the dungeon ASAP.

So, that was how I spent my day. Playing in the dirt... At least I don't have to cook all the time anymore thanks to the twins and Shuna, who had took an interest in cooking. Shion also tried to cook, but she was instantly banned from the kitchen when she managed to set fire to water...

So, after Shion was permanently banished from the kitchen, the other three managed to make a wonderful meal.

Asue and I arrived just as the the food was being set, so I used [Cleanse] on us and then we got to eating.

After that, we all went to bed. Surprisingly, Illia and Lillian joined me in my bed, but we didn't do anything and just slept while cuddling.

- Day 30 -

When I got up, it was raining, so I decided to take this time to train the girls.

Eris was my main focus, because she had zero experience and didn't have any confidence. While training her, I did find that she likes to use the Halberd, so she got the one that belonged to the old Orc Boss.

While I was training Eris, Rubellia was watching with rapt attention, so I invited her to join us. With my invitation, she quickly ran to get some gear and then came back, ready to train.

She was honestly terrible at fighting, but I was already expecting this and so, I start by taking her through the basics and began building a proper foundation for her.

After everyone was tired from training, I decide to go to the mine for the rest of the day and make some more progress.

- Day 31 -

It was still raining, so I decided to go outside and train my [Hydrokinesis]. My goal is to be able to make the rain stop in mid-air in a large area, then make the droplets fire into a target like a machine-gun.

I also mixed in some martial arts, as I didn't want to become a sitting duck while attacking.

Once I got tired of that, I went inside the base and spent the rest of my time with the girls. Specifically, I got to know the human girls better.

I even learned the name of Big Blonde and the other five.

Big Blondes name turned out to be Lydia and she was in fact Iris's big sister, like I had thought.

Then for the other five, there was of course Rubellia, the red haired adventurer.

The Blacksmith's name is Emery.

The Alchemist's name is Spinel.

Then there is the twins. The older twin with the the bigger breasts, is called Felicia, and the younger twin is called Alma.

The girls seemed to really appreciate my attempts to get to know them better and opened up to me faster than I would have expected.

I've got to say, Kanata was really dumb... He didn't even call them by their names until they gave birth to his kids.

Anyways, the day passed by quickly and we all went to bed.

- Day 32 -

Being greeted by sunny skies today, I got excited to go out hunting.

After getting some breakfast, I got my gear on, along Kanami and Shion, and we set off. I left Sköll behind for today.

We first found some Demon Spiders, which we killed and took the carapace of, eating the meat as we walked.

Another thing I did as we walked, was circulate my Mana, getting used to it so I can cast Magic as I move. It wasn't easy and was extremely distracting, but it'll be worth it when I need to fight someone strong.

While I trained my Mana control, we came across a couple of Triple Horned Horses. They are covered in scales and have three horns on their head.

I looked at the other two, as they did the same. We nodded to each other and were ready to attack.

Putting down the carapace we were carrying, I shook my arms and smirked.

Slamming my hands down, I dug my fingers into the ground as I used [Terrakinesis] and made the ground beneath the horses rupture.

The horses neighed panick, but before they could try to escape, I pulled my hands in opposite directions and made the ground below the horses separate, creating a large hole for them to fall in to.

I got up and the three of us attacked the trapped horses. I jumped on ones back as it tried to stand and grabbed its head, shooting a large amount of electricity into its brain.

The horse foamed at the mouth and dropped to the ground dead.

Kanami and Shion took the other down, by first having Kanami shoot at its eyes and blind it, then Shion slit its throat, somehow slicing through its scales with ease.

With the horses dead, I ate ones heart and got; [Scale Armour Formation], [Scale Armoured Charge], [Scaled Horse's Neigh], [Triple Strike], [Rapid Recovery], [Enhanced Leg Strength], [Improved Charging Power] and [Strong Frame].

Considering the size of the horses, I decided that we should head back now, instead of carrying them around.

Taking the bodies back to the base was annoying, but I think it's worth it. I want to use the hides to make myself new clothes.

When we did eventually get to the base, I dismantled the bodies and stored everything in the proper storage area. I will make my stuff tomorrow.

I was going to go back out to hunt, but Eris came running over with her halberd.

"Rou, can I come with you? Please?" She looked at me with anticipation, and I didn't see any reason not to let her, so I nodded.

"Sure. Let's go."

I patted her head and started walking.

Because Eris wasn't an adept fighter yet, I took her back to the old hunting ground and let her fight against Horned Rabbits. Surprisingly, she didn't freeze up like Goblins would have.

She ended up killing a bunch of creatures and built up her confidence a lot, but I didn't want her to get ahead of herself, so I decided it was time to go back.

I walked over to her after she just killed an Armoured Tanuki.

"Good job, Eris."

I lifted my right hand and was going to pat her head, but suddenly, for the second time in my life, I felt a chill run up my spine and heard a bow string be released.

Unlike last time, I didn't feel a danger towards myself, but towards Eris.

I quickly pushed her back, shocking her, as she saw an arrow pierce into my shoulder.

My arm fell limply and my blood flowed down, dripping from my fingers.

Eris saw my blood and began to tear up. But then, her jaw clenched and she gripped the handle of her halberd tightly.

She looked at the direction the arrow came from and saw a Kobold with a bow. Her eyes turned red and she roared, then burst into a rage filled charge.

Seeing her go berserk, I quickly liquefied my arm and pulled the arrow out, then solidified my arm again, letting my healing abilities take affect.

I then turned to where Eris ran to and saw her butchering the Kobold party. She sliced straight through the midsection of the archer and did a full spin, blocking a sword and shattering it from the halberd momentum.

When the sword shattered, Eris's halberd continued on its path and the pole smashed into the attacker. There was a loud crunch, as the attacker was visibly folded over the shaft and then sent flying into a tree, causing more bones to be broken.

Not stopping for a second, she raised her halberd over her head, then leaped at a Kobold with a spear and shield, swinging it down as the Kobold tried to block with his shield.

The shield did practically nothing, as the blade cut through it and the arm it was on. The blade continued downward, splitting open the Kobolds chest and stomach, right down the middle.

With no more enemies, I thought Eris would calm down, but she instead, began savagely smashing her weapon into the Kobolds body, making blood splatter everywhere.

I wasn't sure whether she would attack me if I tried to speak to her, so I bound her with my Spider Threads. She started struggling to escape, but no matter what, she couldn't.

I walked over to her and hugged her from behind, stroking her head and speaking softly.

"Shh. It's okay Eris, they are dead. You can relax now."

Gradually, she started to calm down and her body relaxed, so I released her from the bindings.

When she was free, she spun around and hugged me while crying.

"Rou!! Wahhh!! I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm-" She repeated apologised as she wailed.

I continued stroking her head and she soon stopped crying, but didn't let go yet.

Now that she had calmed down, I decided to ask what happened to her.

"Eris, do you know what just happened?"

She shook her head, which was buried in my chest. I started thinking of a plausible explanation.

"Hm... Try thinking of your level or your abilities, see if there is anything new."

She didn't move for a while, but soon looked up at me.

"There is something that says: '[Job: Berserker]'." She answered me with confusion.

My eyes widened in surprise. I can only assume that my [Humanization] ability, also grants the job system humans have in place of evolution.

"Well, that's strange, but it isn't bad. You can become a lot stronger now, so congratulations!"

Hearing that she can get even stronger, she smiled cutely and hugged me tightly. I stroked her head for a little while longer and then decided to go back for real.

I got Eris to release me and grabbed the body of the only whole Kobold, then we started the journey back to the base.

When we got back to base, we had a nice meal and relaxed.

Eris seemed to still be shook up and so, she sat in my lap to receive cuddles, as she me. The others were curious about her sudden change in behaviour.

"Hm? Rou, why is Eris so clingy?" Zadiris voice their collective question as she watch the clingy girl refuse to let go.

"She almost got shot with an arrow earlier and is still a bit shook up."

They were all a bit shocked to hear this, as they knew this was Eris's first time hunting.

"Oh my! Are you okay Eris?" Felicia, the twin with the large breasts, gasped as she held her hand before her mouth.

Eris turned her head and nodded.

"Mhm... Rou pushed me out of the way just in time, but..." She started to tear up as she thought about how I was hurt.

"But what?" Kanami asked her with concern.

Eris started to sniffle and try to explain, but couldn't, so I told them.

"It's not that big of a deal, but when I pushed her out of the way, I got hit in the arm-"

"WHAT!? ARE YOU OKAY!?" All of the girls simultaneously asked me. Even Serana wasn't an exception.

Before I could say anything, my girls started checking my entire body for injuries. They even tore my clothes off!...

I was just glad that I was going to upgrade tomorrow anyways...

Considering the fact I was just stripped against my will and that I was shot earlier, I decided to relieve myself.

Grabbing some of the girls in a big group hug, I stood up with them.

"Kyaa!" The girls squealed as I suddenly stood up while carrying them.

"So, you wanted to get my clothes off so much that you tore them, huh? Well, then I'm going to return the favor and show you how "okay~" I am!"

While carrying some of my girls, I started marching my way to the bedroom with a grin. The girls got the idea and the ones in my arms playfully screamed, as the others giggled and followed behind me.

Taking the girls to bed, there was only Serana, Lydia and the other five left behind, feeling tempted to go join them.

Yup, that's right. Illia and Lillian joined us, while Eris was still refusing to let go.

When I got to the bedroom with the girls, I didn't waste a second and soon enough, a cacophony of moans resounded in the base.

- Day 33 -

As a result of last night's fun, I got some new Jobs and abilities, which are; [Job: Wizard], [Job: Druid], [Job: Craftsmen], [Job: Berserker], [Mapping] and [Continental Character Deciphering].

So, considering I have two new magic based Jobs, I decided I would get up early and go outside to train. But first, I would have to go make some new clothes...

I decided to go for a mostly white theme, with black and gray for detail. Those horses made me a pretty good trench coat as well. I had a leather vest and some loose fitting pants.

Once my clothes were done and I was wearing them, I went outside. They weren't too showy right now, because I should be close to evolving and they will just be torn anyways, so they didn't take long to make.

As you can probably guess, when I went outside, I was training to use magic while moving around.

After awhile, the girls got up and came outside. They were pretty confused, as they saw me just walking around, which didn't make any sense to most of them. But, for the magic users, like Seiko, Illia and Lillian, they could tell that I was continuously moving my Mana within myself.

"Rogue! What are you trying to do?" Illia called over and asked me.

I continued training as I answered.

"Training to use magic as I move."

"Oh. You do know that is incredibly difficult, right? Even the strongest of mages have trouble doing that." She pointed out.

"Yeah, I figured that out. Any advice?"

"Nope. Sorry sweetie, I'm nowhere near that level myself." She told me with an apologetic smile.

I sighed and continued training. While I was training, the girls started talking to each other.

Zadiris specifically was asking about learning magic, which may have been a mistake, because Seiko suddenly grabbed her and looked at her like she found a new best friend.

With little time to realise it, Zadiris was pulled away and forced into a conversation about magic.

While I was training, the girls went out hunting with each other.

By the afternoon, I got tired of training, so I took a short brake and went to the Blacksmith. When I got there, Emery was busy working on something, so I went into the storage with finished works.

From the storage, I got a single pauldron for my left shoulder, some boots and nice spear. The spear had a decent weight to it, but it was good for me to wield.

Now that I am geared up, I decided to head out.

As I was leaving, Emery noticed my presense, having finished with what she was working on.

"Rou! I didn't know you were here!" She chirped excitedly, as she placed her newest piece on a rack.

"You were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you. I was just getting some gear anyways."

"Oh, well, I hope you like it! And, by the way, that spear has a wind spirit stone alloy for the head and in the butt end, a tetrahedral polished earth spirit stone, so stabbing the enemy with it becomes easier." She explained the additions she had made to it.

"Nice! Well, thanks. I'll be going hunting now, so it'll be a good way to test it. See you later"

"Bye." She waved me off, as I walked out.

I immediately went straight outside and Sköll came running up to me. I stroked his head and we headed off together.

We found a few random creatures, but they were quickly killed by Sköll.

Then, just when I was getting bored and thinking of returning, we found a lone Triple Horned Horse. I didn't hesitate and jumped out at it, while swinging the spear, even though it was out of range.

I used the spears wind stone to create an air blade, which flew forward, cutting deep into its front legs and almost through the bone itself.

With the horse immobilised, I ran in and thrust my spear at its head. Twisting the spear during the thrust, along with the wind element, a drilling effect was created and so, the spear pierced straight through the tough scales and through the other side of its head.

I removed my spear and stared at the body.

Honestly, I don't know why, but I though it would have been more fun...

With a sigh, I took the body apart and sat down. I threw some of the meat to Sköll and we ate our boredom away.

After eating half the horse, even that got boring, so we got up and restarted our hunt.

While walking around, we suddenly picked up the scent of fresh blood, so we looked at each other and then sprinted towards the source.

When we got there, we saw a big Red Bear eating something unrecognisable. We hid for a moment and I grinned in excitement.

I started using [Mind Magic] and lowered the bears alertness. Then, without wasting a second, I started using [Demise Magic] and made a [Spear of the End] in my hand. I put an excess of Mana into it and made it twice the size it was supposed to be.

Using [Mind Magic], I calmed myself and heightened my focus, then launched my arm forward and threw the magic spear at the bear.

Because of the danger, the bears instincts kicked in and it broke through the magic I used on it, dodging the spear to the best of its ability. It lifted its upper body and twisted to the side, protecting its vitals.

Unfortunately for the bear, I was targeting its hind legs, so while it didn't take fatal damage, it did lose a leg and the other was injured.

Without its hind legs, the bear had lost its ability to stand up and attack with its forelegs, otherwise it'll be unbalanced. In other words, I have little to worry about!

I jumped in with Sköll and the battle began.

We started to relentlessly barrage the bear with attacks. It hide was like an extremely tough metal, so attacking was difficult and we didn't do much damage. Sköll could barely make a scratch on it, so he targeted areas I had just wounded.

The bear got increasingly frustrated, as it tried and failed to hit either one of us. Its lack of mobility became a major hindrance to it, but was very beneficial for us.

With its growing anger, it used its only ranged attack. It breathed fire.

Well, it would have, but the moment I saw the flames build in its throat, I started using [Aerokinesis] and reduced the oxygen around its head. This wasn't a perfect strategy however, because doing this took a lot of concentration, which would have meant standing still and that would be suicide...

So, while I continued moving, I put in as much concentration as I could. This meant, I was only able to reduce the amount of flames being spewed and the temperature to about 1000⁰c. If a normal person touched the flames now, they would only get slight burns.

Sköll and I used our Hit n Run tactics for awhile, never giving the bear a chance to rest. The majority of my attacks were targeted at its legs, except for the occasional bash I delivered to its head.

Overtime, from the multiple attacks and its constant waste of energy, the bear dropped to the ground from exhaustion.

Seeing this, I started concentrating and used [Aerokinesis] to suffocate the bear to death.

When the bear finally died, I removed the brain and heart, then ate them. This got me

a hell of a lot of abilities.

[Peerless Heavy Strike], [Consecutive Raging Strikes], [Intimidation of the strong], [Intimidating Glare], [Fire Breathing], [Mountain Lords roar], [Mountain Lords Solid Skin], [Mountain Lords Tough Muscles] and [Rule of the Beast King].

There was also; [All Elemental Restistance], which added onto my current resistances. Then [Complete Fire Resistance], which upgraded to [Fire Damage Nullification]. And finally, [Demigod of Fire's Divine Protection] became [God of Fire's Divine Protection].

I cut a big chunk of meat out and threw it to Sköll, while laughing joyfully.

"Hahaha! I can't believe how easy that was! You were a great assist Sköll, let's take a break and head back soon."

I cut out another piece of the bear and sat down against a tree, using [Pyrokinesis] to cook it up.

While I was doing that, Sköll looked over and looked thoughtful, then he picked up his share and dropped it beside me.

I raised an eyebrow.

"You want me to cook it?"

Sköll nodded in response, so I shrugged and started cooking it with my fire, holding it with telekinesis.

Sköll lay sat beside me and watched the meat cook. I started stroking his head and his tail began wagging.

When the meat was done, we dug in.

After we were done eating, we got up and I grabbed the bear body, then we started making our way back to the base.

But, as we walked, it was dark and eerily silent.

Suddenly, the ground started to rumble and we could hear thuds, which got louder every few second.

I dropped the bear and we got ready for a fight, wondering what was coming.

After a few seconds, we didn't have to wonder anymore... Because a big ass Stone Golem, tall that the trees, came into sight.

And the biggest fuck you, was that it had the word "Emét" was etched across its face in Hebrew... What kind of bullshit is this!? Why is the Golem of Prague here for fuck's sakes!!?

For someone less informed, The Golem of Prague has the word "truth" written on it, or "Emét". If you scratch out the "E" and you get "Mét", meaning "dead". So, the upside is that I know how to kill this thing, meaning this should be easy.

With that thought, I would wish I could shoot myself... Because, all of a sudden, the Golem let out a weird roar and more golem's began sprouting out of the ground all around us.

I looked at the army of Earth Golems and sharply waved my spear, feeling the vibration run up my arm.

When the vibration stopped, I breathed out and lowered my body, then burst into a sprint.

As I ran, I weaved between the Earth Golems and closed the distance to the Stone Golem. When I was still a dozen or so feet away, I dug the head of my spear into the ground, channelling [Terrakinesis] through it and then swung upwards, making the ground rise and form a path up to the Stone Golems face.

I ran up the path and when I got the end, I leaped off it and slashed at the "E" to kill the Golem.

Except... Yeah, there's an "except"... That's because a fucking barrier appeared as my spear almost struck it and then disappeared. My spear bounced back and I was left in shock.

Taking advantage of my shock, the Golem swung its arm and smacked me, sending flying back and into a tree.

As I hit the tree, I spewed blood and could hear a crack. I don't know if it was from the tree or my own body, but I do know it fucking hurts!

[Minor Regeneration] and [Rapid Recovery] kicked in, thankfully... So, using my spear, I got to my feet and started to using [Holy Energy] to quicken the healing.

While I was healing myself, an Earth Golem had approached me and was going to attack. Fortunately, Sköll came to my aid and slammed into the Golem, surprisingly breaking it.

I coughed up a bit more blood and then wiped it away.

"Thanks again, Sköll..."

I looked at the Golems and saw that their numbers had grown.

"... We better thin the numbers a bit."

Sköll looked at them as well and growled.

Taking that as the signal, we ran into the horde and started demolishing them. I found that they could dish out a decent hit, but could take one, so things were pretty easy. And yet again... Except! That Stone fucker kept spawning more minions!!!

I got angry and swung my spear at it, sending an air blade at it, only for it to be blocked by its barrier. Though this time, I was paying attention, so when the barrier disappeared, I saw that after a few seconds, the word on its face lit up briefly.

Regrettably, this did result in getting punched in the rib by an Earth Golem, but it was worth it... Okay, I lied. I'm pretty sure my ribs were broken.

I sliced through the offending Golem and grunted in pain. Now I understood though, the battle wouldn't end until the big guy was gone.

Ignoring the pain, I started slicing through the Golems and made my way over to the ascending pathway to the Stone Golem I made.

By the time I got there, I had taken a couple hits, but I had also healed.

Raggedly breathing, I got prepared and then rushed up the path, then leaped at the Stone Golem again.

With my spear raised over my head, slammed down with the butt end of it, hitting the expected barrier and smirking. Using the gained distance from the rebound, I adjusted my grip and then slashed down, successfully cutting through the "E" and continuing forward, towards to Stone Golem's body and then rebounding off it.

I fell down into a tree and then jumped out. I quickly looked to the Stone Golem and saw that it had started cracking, then it fell apart completely.

I sighed in relief, but then I realised that the Earth Golems were still moving around.

Sköll circled round and arrived beside me, looking pretty beat up.

We were both panting tiredly.

"Almost done bud... Just gotta kill these few and we'll be safe..."

Sköll whimpered discontentedly, but got ready to finish the fight, while I grinned.

I started the rest of our battle off by sending an air blade at the Golems and then charged in, Sköll following right behind me.

There were a lot of them and it was rather difficult, we took a lot of hits, but in the end... We obviously won.

We were exhausted, but we're alive, so it's not too bad... Who am I kidding, I feel like hell.

Despite my exhaustion, I trudged over to the Stone Golem's remains. I dug through the rubble, looking for anything that would benefit me.

That was when I found a purple orb. It was the size of a baseball, so I just started eating it like an apple and got; [Golem Core Creation], [Golem Manufacturing] and [Solid Barrier].

[Solid Barrier] is basically the move Protect from Pokemon. It can take one hit and then disappears, until it is recast. This leads me to the realisation that I could have used [Triple Strike] and kill the Golem easily...

I sighed and turned around.

"C'mon Sköll, let's go ba-..."

When I looked at him, I saw that Sköll had collapsed from either exhaustion or because of the accumulated damage... Or both.

I sighed again and made my way over to him. I check his condition, then picked him up and slung him over my shoulders.

With Sköll on my shoulders and dragging my spear, I trudged my way over to the bear body and dragged it with my spear hand. So began my arduous journey to the base.

When I did arrive at the base, all I saw was the blurred images of the girls and heard their drowned out voices, as I slipped into unconsciousness and heard some clear words.

[Do you wish to rank up? Yes/No

Yes]

(I wasn't in the mood to write an R18 scene, but he did have sex with Eris, Illia and Lillian. Couldn't care less tbh.)
