Chapter 75 - Morning After

Quick Note: I just want to let you guys know that this is the last of the short chapters where not much happens. I know there has been a lull in the story since Biroth's defeat, and well that comes to end after this chapter. There is going to be a ton of story progression as we finally get into the kingdom-building aspect of the story and learn more about the wider world.

I can't wait for guys to see what I've got in store for this story and my original. I know many of you have been annoyed that things have been very slow recently, but like I said that ends after this chapter.

------------------

I woke to the feeling of soft flesh on my skin and gentle breath over my body. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around at the dozens of naked, beautiful women around me. My mind blanked for a moment as I tried to process where I was, but soon the memories of last night flooded back and I let out a breath as I remembered everything that had happened. I'd had more sex last night than most people probably had in their lives and with a variety of beautiful women who would all be considered ten out of ten in my old world.

I slowly raised my head and looked around to see if anyone was awake. As much as I wanted to go again even after last night I had things to do, changes to finally start preparing for.

Moving my hands and arms out of the grip of the rider around me was harder than I expected since they possessed superhuman strength, but whatever the necklace had done, it had certainly made me considerably stronger. I extracted myself from the pile of bodies, trying to be as silent as possible. Once I had gotten to fo tangle of limbs I gently tip-toed my way out of the pile of bodies, hoping no one woke up. Unfortunately for me, just as I was about to get clear of them, I heard a soft murmur and turned to see Asara open her eyes to look at me.

I froze and hoped she wouldn't say anything or wake the rest. To my relief though, she only mouthed the words 'thank you then gave me a wide smile before closing her eyes and resting her head back on the rider next to her, which I noticed was Seren. My eyes briefly roamed across the platinum blonde's body, and I had to force myself to turn away and start walking to the exit.

As I did, I summoned a pair of simple clothes from my inventory and got dressed. I'd expected I might need an extra set, especially since I was pretty sure the clothes I'd come in with were buried beneath the sea of sleeping flesh, and there was no way I was going to retrieve them without waking at least some of the riders up if not all of them. I had a hunch that on a normal day or with any other person they would have woken at the slightest movement, but after last night and perhaps the fact that I was now, their sky lord changed things.

That necklace popped into my mind. I was definitely going to have to ask Asara about it later.

By the time I reached the exit, I was fully dressed in a simple pair of black pants and a silver t-shirt with a black and silver vest which fit me quite nicely. If there was one thing true about this world so far, it was that the fashion was very nice, it was a mix of medieval clothing and new-age clothing, and they had magic and artificer tools in this world, which made the creation of clothing far easier than it had bene in medieval times in my world.

That led to another thought, as I left the birdcage and headed to my chambers. I needed to learn more about this world and its politics and the different major power players in it. I needed to learn the rules and what I should be looking out for. I was king and I was sure that there was probably some sort of royal library in the palace, or I could have Susana and Richard tell me, though that might reveal my foreign origin to them, not that they didn't probably suspect already, however on today's agenda was my summons. I wanted to get them introduced to each other, and out into the world. I had been keeping them in storage for no particular reason when they could be out helping my kingdom. fighting bandits, patrolling the city, or just having fun when they weren't needed. Summons like leone and Danzo both had information gathering skills.

Leone's were more bases around the common people, more traditional ways of gathering information, contacts, bribes, and other things, while Danzo was a full-blown spymaster and master infiltrator. He was going to be extremely useful, especially that seal of his that he utilizes for his Anbu. That was going to be a game-changer. My summons had so much potential and it was about time I stopped holding them back. They didn't need to just fight to get levels as the system had told me, using other talents they possed also got them levels.

It wasn't like I had to be worried if they got hurt or killed. My summons couldn't stay permanently dead, so there was no reason to not let them out into the world.

Of course, I would have to set things up and give them positions and tasks which I expected them to complete. I had already thought about it and figured out the best task and position for each, and ways in which they could level as they did these tasks. I was also going to have to introduce them to the kingdom soon, or at least the big players since I wanted my summons to have full authority. They were my elites, my closest allies, and as such would need to be treated as such.

At first, many would be opposed to the idea, but in time as my summons proved themselves and showed just how valuable they were, the people would start to realize because the time of words was over, it was time to treat setting things into motion and start prepping for the changes. It was time to build this kingdom up and learn more about my position.

I arrived at my chamber and entered, stretching as I did. I gave the two maids who bowed at the sight of me, warm smiles, as I headed for the bathing room. A quick wash to get all the... juices off me, then a quick meal before I got into the day's tasks.

Change was coming, and I was its herald.
