1 A New Land?
June's consciousness slowly began to return to him as he heard arguing around himself.
"What are you doing inside of Masters bed!!" A girly voice could be heard yelling at someone.
"Of course I am healing him, and could you please lower your voice, you don't want to cause Master any harm do you? Your yelling might cause him extra stress which is less than desirable." A sultry voice could be heard from directly next to his ear.
"Hmph! You are just lucky I don't know any healing spells, you hussy!" the voice responded.
"I know some healing spells as well, so if you will excuse me" Another voice interrupted as he felt another body lay next to him.
"WAIT! That hussy is already healing him, so get off the bed! I want that spot!" the girly voice began to act up again.
June finally managed to pry open his eyes and was greeted with a room full of people as he was laying down in between two devastating beauties.
Seeing June's eyes open a man began hushing the women who were fighting as he said with worry, "Are you, alright Master?".
June looked towards the man who spoke. He was a handsome older gentleman with white hair and a monocle. Although June assumed he didn't need the Monacle, and only wore it as more of a fashion statement, he never asked about it. Nodding his head June said "Yes, thank you Atlas I am alright. How about Alice and Micah? Are they doing fine."
Before Atlas had the time to respond June heard a wailing "MAASSTEERR!!" as he heard footsteps running through the hall and a girl burst into his room. This was, of course, Alice, which caused June to lightly sigh as he looked towards Atlas "How is Micah then?".
Alice jumped through the room and landed on June's chest as she snuggled her face into his chest and she began to inhale his scent. All the women in the room who saw this were irked and their brows began to twitch in anger, but they did not say anything to stop her.
June did not say anything either and was used to her antics already after 22 years, so he ignored her as he continued his conversation with Atlas.
"Micah seems to be fine, but he is still recovering from the headache that the three of you got," Atlas responded.
"Do you know what happened? Was it some sort of forbidden spell that I was unaware of?" June began to contemplate with a frown on his face.
"I do not believe so Master, because at the same time you got your headache the other Players, whom we were fighting with at the time seemed to display similar symptoms," Atlas explained.
June nodded as he said "What of the battle? How did it end up?" June worried that something might have happened in his absence.
"Due to the unforeseen circumstances I immediately teleported them back to the base as soon as possible," Atlas replied to which June nodded with approval.
"Master quickly log out and drink some Herbal Tea. I'm afraid that the headache you received may cause some lasting damage if you do not take a break from gaming for a bit."
June sighed and agreed to Alice's request, but when he went to log out he realized there was no log out button. Confusion quickly appeared on his face as he told Alice "Try and log out".
She too looked at him with confusion before a pale expression began to appear on her face as she slowly stuttered "Wh-What? I can't log out Master".
June voiced his agreement with her statement as he back to sink into thought on how this could have happened.
He knew it was correlated to the headache that they all received, but he was unable to determine how it was possible to be unable to log out. The company that created the VR devices was a different one that made Rise of Kings, and they guaranteed the safety of the consumers because fear was running amok through the community after an Anime called Saber Art Online was released showing people get trapped inside the VR.
June decided to throw those thoughts out of his head absentmindedly looked towards Atlas, who was the best strategist in the Tower of Babel, besides himself. The Tower of Babel is what their Guild's base was called, and although there was indeed a tower, most of the Guild was actually built underground, the Tower was just for looks, and as a distraction.
"What is the situation outside" June got into a serious mode once he realized that this may no longer be a game.
"The outside is totally changed. Other than the territory we owned, the rest has changed into a different landscape."
June frowned as he thought they had just been trapped inside the game but it seemed that things were slightly different.
He turned to one of the women who was laying by his side and asked: "Aurelia can you take me up a few hundred feet into the air so I can check out our surroundings?"
The woman smiled and said "Why certainly master" the woman scooted behind him and hugged him from the back as she shot a smile of victory towards the other women in the room.
They all frowned and one even piped up and said "Why did you ask her? I can take you into the air instead!" the girly voice came from what one would consider as a loli.
She had red hair and a frown on her face, She looked to be around sixteen years old, and was the youngest looking person out of all the people gathered in this room.
June tilted his head as he said: "She was closest?"
"Nonsense! I was the same distance away as she was!" The other woman who was lying next to him in bed said with a pout.
"Well you can't fly as well as she can, Mel Ray," June said.
Stumped by his reasoning Mel Ray could do nothing but pout. June stopped the fussing of the people in the room and nodded to Aurelia and she smiled and they immediately disappeared from the room.
"This is clear favoritism!" the red-haired girl cried out in dismay.
"Apple, enough of that. If we want to follow Master we better hurry up" Atlas began to tell the girl.
Apple grumbled but agreed and the rest of them in the room seemed to agree as well as they soon all disappeared from the room one after another.

June was in the air frowning as he looked at the land before him. He was currently about ten miles above the Tower of Babel, and he could see all the land that he owned from the game Rise of Kings was the same.
Everything from the Mountains down to the blades of grass was the exact same as they were in the game, and June could not find anything that was different.
June was awoken from his thoughts as he heard subtle moaning coming from right next to his ear.
"ahhhnn master" Aurelia was rubbing her breasts into his back as she held him in the air using the contact to pleasure herself. Normally this would be a heaven for any man, and although June did enjoy the feeling now was not the time for such things, Aurelia seemed to enjoy it way more than June as she was leaking moans from her mouth.
June coughed lightly and said "The land bordering our territory has changed. It is not what it used to be."
Awoken from her state of pleasure Aurelia was irked but when she noticed her master was talking to her beaming smiles appeared on her face "Yes! Yes! Our land seems to not have changed in the slightest, but the land around us seems to be different. Like we were plucked up and placed down somewhere else" she said.
June nodded in agreement with her as her description was quite accurate. The whole situation seemed odd to June, and he could not figure out the motive of whoever set this int motion.
June requested Aurelia to set him down at the top floor of The Tower of Babel. It was a wide expanse and looked more like a colosseum than anything. The whole tower gave off Romanesque vibes, as it was built with the roman architecture as reference.
"Atlas, Gather all the floor bosses and Nikita here. We are going to have a meeting."
