It was the start of a new day in the town of Duskhaven, the sun was just rising as Samantha got up or of the bed that currently had three other naked women in it. They were, of course, the top 4 players in Rebirth Online, Alice, Lily, and Sasha.

Over the past month inside of the game the girls had all come to accept that they had slept together before, and now did so every night though not always turning sexual the four of them all slept naked and cuddled together.

Through their exploring of the house the girls had found a room tucked away in the basement and to their collective joy it was a bathroom, With a large metal tub and even a shower, The room was lit up using a series of mirrors and candles as to leave the basement hidden from outside to give the girls privacy

Atticus had found a new spring below his house and Sasha's, while he didn't mind bathing in the ice cold well he knew that a hot bath was very important to a young woman. He had dug into the spring and through a series of pipes and runes had made a shower.

The excess water would run through a pipe out to the woods, As a result, the excess water had no chance to pool up in the village and leave the streets full of mud, After all, they were still working on cobbled stone streets.

Samantha stepped in the shower and sighed happily at the feeling of hot water running down her body, Letting her hands slowly rub the water in as she savored the feeling, It had been so long since she could enjoy a hot shower.

As she relaxed she wondered what Atticus was up to, from what she had seen so far he was out fighting as he had leveled up a fair amount since they had arrived and he had set his messenger to away as he wouldn't answer them.

This had upset the girls a bit but they then focused on the house, While Atticus had chosen practical furniture the girls pooled their gold and bought leather chairs and couches made by a skilled user that owned a shop down the street.

They had bought cookware and ingredients, surprised to see a griddle had been built into the counter and so Samantha had decided to make them breakfast. It was just omelets and hash browns with some toast but it was by far better than the usual jerky and bread they had gotten used to.

As it all finished cooking she went up to the bedroom, moving on to the bed as she began kissing and groping her lovers, causing a lovely symphony of cute moans as they slowly began to wake up.

Once the girls had eaten they got dressed and split up, Sasha and Lily had chosen to help train Lucian's men in the bow as to prepare them for siege defense. Alice went to Atticus' house, escorted by Shadow she fed the other wolves and took them out for walks since they had been inside all night.

Samantha, however, decided to go out hunting, Sasha told her where the mine was so she headed there first, as she arrived she heard fighting.

She took out her spear and shield as she began running full speed through the tunnels, she soon found a large man with thick grey hair and some guards fighting a group of Draugr that were pouring out of a breach in the wall, the man wielding a massive mace made from a seven foot sapling and what seemed to be an anvil

But this man swung it with ease as though it was no heavier than a normal war-hammer, as she saw that the Draugr were all at her level she was shocked after all this was so close to the starting area.

Shaking her head she charged into help the men, as she got closer she was met with an oppressive aura, one full of rage and hatred, at the same time she saw a Wolfman larger than the warrior before her charge out of the breach, howling in rage as it began to tear through the draught.

Dressed in armor made from leather and bones, wielding a monstrously large claymore that looked more like a slab of pure darkness, The blade glowing with black and green flames the beast tore apart all in his path.

She noticed the guards backing away from the frontlines as the Draugr were all after the beast, as she watched the beast slay the last draugr she lunged to attack the beast. As she did she heard the old man shout." Don't be stupid little lass our Thane will tear you apart!"

She was stunned at hearing the man call the beast Thane but it was too late, her spear pierced the beast's right shoulder, There was a howl of pain as the beast turned and backhanded her in one swift movement. She was thrown against the wall, her right arm and ribs were shattered as she hacked up a massive amount of blood.

She was shocked and confused as she saw the nameplate of the beast.

Atticus ShadowsongRank:UserLevel:30Health:Alignment:Chaotic NeutralA Thane of Blackrock Hold, The Bloodthirsty, Royal Consort, Lich Lord.

Atticus soon changed back into a human as he pulled her spear from his shoulder with little more than a grunt, He studied the weapon for a moment. an ornate piece made from an ash wood handle, gold guard, and a mithril blade, And judging by the stone embedded in the center of the blade a spirit stone, One of light and wind.

He smiled and flicked the stone which caused a shout from nowhere to Sams surprise as she had yet to find out about her spirit. He then walked over to her and crouched down in front of her. " Hello darling, shouldn't have attacked me..." as he poured a potion into her mouth to heal her, she coughed more as the pain went away slowly

As she saw his human body and felt his savagery she felt wet and excited, she pulled him down on top of herself and kissed him deeply and passionately. Atticus growled lustfully as he picked her up, spanking her roughly as he returned her kisses.

Soon she pulled back and licked her lips softly. " And here I was thinking you were a rogue or mage... " Atticus smiled as he shook his head. " I don't think I would like to be a sneaky Rogue or a Mage, not enough fun for me my love. " He grinned and began walking towards the exit.

As he passed Ivan he grinned. " Take the boys down the barrows and start making it into housing, I burned all the bodies already, and on the thirteenth floor, I found this. "

He reached into a small pouch and took out a small chunk of bluish silver metal. Mithril. Ivan's eyes lit up at the sight of the ore. " Ohhh this will be worth treading those hallowed halls thank you Atticus, alright you lot burn the bodies and let's go. Time to prove that the elves aren't the only ones who can smith silvered steel! "

Atticus laughed at the old man's excitement and carried Samantha out of the mines. As he walked she nipped his ear gently. " Are you going to tell me exactly what you have been up to until now? The girls and I have been at level 25 for a while so why are you who plays nonstop only just now reaching level 30? And what was up with the fur? "

He smirked a bit and spanked her roughly,causing a sexy little moan. " When we're all together my dear, I'll only tell the tale once. "

She could see and feel how much he had changed from the real world, and She loved it! In real life, he was somewhat shy and quiet but here he was bold and there was an air of power around him.

She could not wait to hear his story, As they walked through the woods a large raven landed on his shoulder. It nuzzled his cheek for a moment,

” Welcome back Lilim, I see your quest went well. " He smiled softly as she moved to the ground before changing into the lovely young women he remembered from the start up room.

" It took me longer than I thought it would but it was soo worth it, the view up there is amazing! " She said as she twirled about, he had given her a set of black leather armor much like Sashas though this one had pants and was embossed with the tattoo on his left shoulder, that of the Ironwood Druid queen Liliana, And his own makers mark painted on for now with red enamel.

Though her armor was special, as a perk druids received cosmetic effects for each animal form they master, in Lilim's case she had a wolf pelt hanging from her belt like a skirt, and now a cloak of ravens feathers.

She, however, kept the sleeves of her armor tucked away which left a large tattoo on her left arm exposed, It was his maker's mark in a beautiful emerald color. It was a side effect of when he named her as his alpha female in the pack to help maintain the balance between the sexes of the pack.

Samantha frowned a little as she pulled on Atticus' ear " Ohh so she's the reason you were in no rush to get to us, you had found a new woman to play with... "

He shivered and spanked her again. " I'll explain later. "

Lilim was confused but she figured this was his real life girlfriend, as such she kept playing her role as his pet and followed behind him, wondering what he had been doing to change so much.

Back inside of the Barrow, Around the time, the girls went shopping. Roughly 10 hours before Sam found Atticus.

Atticus had just descended the stairs from the 9th to the 10th floor and was once again met with a long hallway. He then figured out that it was every 5th floor that would hold a boss monster, this, however, made him wonder how many floors remained.

As he walked through the end of the hall and entered the room the gate slammed shut and the room lit up as expected though this room had countless stone pillars around three feet thick, Standing in the center of the room was a massive Draugr, This one was wearing the familiar thick plate armor and standing as tall as him at 6’8.

However this draugr's armor was impressive, as black as night and covered in spikes like a moving castle rampart, It made it all but impossible to get into melee range for a bare hand fighter.

The Draugr was wielding a massive sword that glowed with an eerie black and green hue along with the oh so popular iron door sized shield And as if things couldn't be more annoying for Atticus he read the Draugr’s nameplate.

Sven BlackwallRank:BossLevel:45Health:Attack:750-900A former Warlord who lead one of the many bandit legions that rose up in the Dusk Wars to fight against the invading dark elves. He was struck dead when he was hit by an enemies Lightning Bolt, Now reanimated and firmly set on guarding his ancestors barrow..AbilitiesShield Bash: Smacks its foes with its shield to stun them for 3 seconds.Lightning Strike: Infuses its attacks with mana to deal 50% more weapon damage as Lightning, There is a 25% chance to be stunned for 3 seconds Damage will cancel this effect.Cursed Blade: The blade is letting off a dark aura, When struck its foes will suffer a 25% loss to all stats for 15 Seconds.Unmoveable Object.: Thanks to its heavy armor this foe is unable to be knocked down through sheer force.

Seeing these things he almost performed a facepalm but Sven charged at him with a frightening amount of speed while letting out a ghastly battle cry, Atticus took out his battle ax and howled back at him as he prepared himself for combat.

Taking up a defensive stance he braced for the impact of the massive sword, But this was a mistake as when he got within range Sven held out his shield to perform a bash. Atticus leaped to the side and narrowly avoided taking the shield to his face, as it was the stone pillar behind where he had been was completely destroyed.

“ Oook definitely not trying to catch that thing to the face.... ” Atticus was starting to worry about his hp regen, As things stood it would take just under a minute and a half to regain his health, And counting the fact that this things base attack could three shot him if he got careless. was quite worrying.

But he pushed it out of his mind as he activated Enraged and charged Sven, Doing his best to weave in and out of the pillars to attack the joints of the Draugr's armor to hopefully immobilize him.

This however proved to be far more difficult than he had thought as Sven was faster than he had thought as every time one of his axes got close to the back of Sven's knees the shield would knock them away.

He growled as he jumped out of the way as he barely dodged Sven’s sword, taking a deep cut to his left arm as the sword demolished yet another pillar, As this pillar fell Atticus heard some creaking in the ceiling.

He then realized why this boss was so fast despite wearing such massive armor, Most other users who would enter the dungeon would rely on magic and arrows, whittling the bastard down slowly.

But then again Atticus had already realized that unlike any other game the terrain could be exploited, such as earlier in the day how he had killed a vampire by throwing them up against a spiky iron wall sconce.

And so his battle of endurance began, He dodged all of the attacks he could, leading Sven around the room and baiting him to destroy the pillars. He even went so far as to put his axes away and take out some bandages and rely solely on running, dodging, and first aid.

However he had run into a new issue through this process, Sven's Lightning strike was not like his own Savage Blow which infused his attacks with darkness, Lightning Strike was able to be used as a ranged ability.

The worst part of this is when the stun effect would proc, This left Atticus open to take a good hit

from the massive Draugr, Luckily for him the bastard kept hitting his armor which helped to dampen the damage and keeping his limbs attached, though still breaking them until he downed a potion.

After ten minutes the final pillar he needed was broken, Diving out of the way as the ceiling came down and crushed Sven, Atticus panted hard as he stood ready to run but he was soon greeted with a wonderful chain of messages.

Level Up!

Level Up!

You have killed Sven Blackwall using the Environment!

For utilizing the environment you have gained +5 Dexterity.

For killing the boss alone the best possible loot has been dropped.

Atticus wanted to jump for joy but he quickly realized how stupid he was. While he had killed the boss in record time he had also buried the loot under a pile of rubble. He groaned as he actually did facepalm before he took out his pick and began clearing the rubble, spending the better part of an hour clearing the rubble from the massive black iron chest that was spawned.

When he opened it he was excited to see four pieces of loot, A shield, A sword, A necklace, And a book,He decided to go through the loot and check out their stats only to let out a sigh of disappointment, Quite obviously the items dropped by a level 45 boss monster were made for players of that level, so he was unable to use them except for the book and oddly the sword..

Atticus grinned widely at the loot he had gained and decided to use the sword instead of Fury as he wanted to level up the blade, After all since he had no pets currently with him he didn’t benefit from the special effect of Fury.

He then put the rest of the items away, debating on whether or not he should sell the necklace and book or use them for himself, He shrugged and gathered the hefty 1000 gold and 5 each of Greater Health and Mana potions, These were made for players level 40+ so he did not benefit from them but he still luckily had 6 of his lesser grade potions remaining.

He then stood up and went down the stairs to floor 11, Expecting another four floors before he had to face another boss Atticus was caught off guard as instead of the wide open room he had gotten used to he was in another hallway.

But he shook his head, eager for the chance to kill another boss so soon, He began running full speed before he took out the two weapons and charged into the boss room. He instantly regretted his choice as all around him were thick cobwebs and large eggs.

Atticus felt a cold shiver down his spine as he had always hated spiders, having been bitten by a brown recluse when he was young, And now in front of him was a monstrously large black widow that looked at him and let out a chilling shriek.

At the sound, he heard eggs cracking and the clatter of sharp legs on stone as he saw ten spiders the size of a wolf running towards him. He felt his skin crawl at this and soon the beast took his place, growling in annoyance at being called out for mere spiders but he had to help his human.

He charged in and began hacking and slashing violently, Every time he killed a spider however the queen would let out another shriek and ten more would pop out. But on the positive side, Ivy was level 5 by the time he had killed 20 spiders.

While he was fighting the near endless wave of spiders he had to begin jumping from side to side, careful of the webbing as the spiders began spitting small globs of poison at him. However while he dodged one of the globs he felt a heavy impact on his back and an intense burning.

Rather than spitting poison like the others the queen spit out a damned acid that all but destroyed his cloak, as well as melting some of his fur. Howling in pain he noticed small alcoves throughout the room that slowly go closer to the queen as they went.

He decided to test his theory and bolted into the first alcove, a massive pillar blocking his line of sight to the queen as the spiders began swarming in slowly around the pillar and into a bottleneck, this made it far easier to kill the spiders and he also began to notice small details.

The melee type spiders were all black whereas the poison spitters were typical black widows.with the red hourglass on their backs, As he noticed this thing got a lot easier as he began to focus on the widow's first as the regular spiders did not inflict poison when they hit him.

He even noticed a number of spiders drop down enough that he was able to run out of the alcove and towards the next one in the row, sure enough as he left the alcove the spider queen began to shriek and spit more acid at him as he ran and dived into the alcove.

He thought things would progress well enough now but as he dove into the alcove he noticed a new spider, An all brown one that was far faster than the others, He noticed it as it lunged in and bit him before darting off long before the other spiders could catch up,

These, however, did have a poison, though not a damage over time it made the part of his body that was bit go numb for 10 seconds. He groaned as his left arm went completely numb and his arm dropped to the side as he howled in anger at the spiders.

He was surprised to find that he could still wield ivy despite only using one arm, perhaps because the blade was still quite small, near the same as a standard claymore though thicker and wider.

He began swinging the blade as fast as he could, only to be hit again by one of the spiders and another portion of his body go numb just as the first regained feeling. It was as he lost feeling in his legs and left arm at the same time that Atticus heard a voice.

Similar to the one he had heard when he held the Bound Spirits crystal after killing the abomination. a females voice but this one sounded seductive and nurturing rather than cruel.

“ Hmmm this is no good, I can't have you dying on me so soon... ” As he heard this the sword shone with a bright green and black light as a woman soon stood before him. She stood at 6’0 and weighed around 120 lb, She was rather petite with no outstanding assets.

He was speechless as she had long hair that was a soft green with black streaks, she had a long black and green tail and ears like that of a wolf, As she turned to look back at him he could see her eyes, A deep emerald green iris with pitch black pupils.

Her skin was a soft green, like fresh grass save for the black runes tattooed into her skin, She had the scent of honey around her as one would expect from a nature spirit, though there was a bit of spice to the scent, Cinnamon is what he thought.

He felt oddly at ease at the sight of her rather than the alertness he felt being around the other spirit, This one seemed to let out a nurturing aura along with the intent to kill though it was directed at the spiders and not him.

He watched as she walked over to him and then behind him, kissing his neck as she wrapped her arms around it, He shivered at the warmth of her behind him and soon he felt his body become invigorated.

The poison's effects had been removed despite still having eight seconds remaining. ” Do not waste this chance warrior, the blessing will only last for another minute... ” He let out a yelp of pain as the spirit bit deep into the right side of the nape of his neck and vanished. Little did he know he would have a new tattoo shortly.

He stood up and began running rather than fighting, heading through the alcoves while dodging the acid spray of the queen, Grinning as he heard shrieks behind him as the acid would kill dozens of the smaller spiders.

While not giving any exp he didn't have to kill them so it was still a win in his book, As he reached the final alcove he howled and charged the queen who was now only a few meters away. He jumped up onto her back and began hacking and slashing violently.

He soon cleaved the spider queen's head off and was greeted with the usual messages and was shocked at how simple this fight had been. While granted it had taken him a total of thirty minutes and two potions it was just like a horde boss.

He only received one level though Ivy had now caught up to his level and no loot dropped other than the usual potions and 500 gold. He felt slighted but then noticed the spider's silk all around him.

He had an idea and began to cut as much of it as he could, He even found a pitch-black spider egg and while every part of his body said to destroy it he decided to keep it. It took him another thirty minutes before he had cut down all of the silk in the room and he then headed down to the 12th floor.

He was glad to see that he was greeted with the usual layout rather than a long hallway and decided to check something, Ever since Ivy awoke earlier he had a feeling that he was being watched.

“Ivy?” Atticus asked cautiously and shivered as from the nape of his neck he felt a warmth and soon a pair of soft green arms wrapped themselves around his chest and he felt a nibble on his ear.

“ Yes, master? ” She said this in a playful and teasing tone while keeping her body pressed against his back.

Atticus had to resist the urges he felt welling up as he turned around to face the naked woman.” What was it that you did earlier when I was being overwhelmed by the spiders? ”

The spirit smiled softly as she nipped at his throat playfully, Almost like a puppy would when playing with a new friend.” I just purged the venom from your body by making your metabolism speed up.”

Atticus growled a bit as she kept teasing him but he tried to ignore it for a bit longer. ” And why is it only now that you have shown yourself to me? Why not as soon as I took up your sword? ”

She nibbled on her bottom lip softly as he was not returning any of her playful teasings.” Because I was still getting stronger…It had been so long since my last wielder died that all of my power had been drained... ”

Atticus nodded as he began walking again, Not wanting to take much more of a break, Though Ivy followed him rather than returning to her dormant state, quite obviously enjoying her new freedom to move about as she pleased.

Atticus sighed but let her do as she pleased so long as it did not hinder him.
