(Leif)

"Whoa!" I accidentally say. "That bed is huge!"

"Huh?" Jamie looks at me, then at the bed. "Yeah, I guess it is. It's a king-sized bed. How big of a bed are you used to?"

"Not one that big!" I nod. "It's smaller, like, this big!"

I wave my arms around, trying to show its size.

"So a little larger than a twin," he nods. "Pretty useful, if you sleep alone."

"Usually have Tiol sleep with me," I nod. "Or Brandon. No Kyle, though. He not nice, so he not allowed sleep in my bed, even after we have sex. Tiol usually sleep with me. Make sure I safe at night, nothing hurt me."

"And Tiol is an Archdemon?" Jamie asks.

"Yeah!" I nod. "And Steve is just a desk Demon!"

"Desk Demon?" Jamie asks.

"That what Tiol say," I nod. "He say that Steve is just a desk Demon! Steve the one make my contracts! No like mean lady demon during contract!"

"Ah," Jamie says. "Okay. Well, you can sleep on the floor, or sleep on the bed, if you want."

"Sex on bed?"

"No, you don't have to have sex to sleep on the bed," Jamie says.

"We have sex?"

"Just sleep," Jamie says. "Though we do need to bathe, first. Would you like to bathe with Max and I, or by yourself!"

"Together!" I nod. "Tiol and Braden and Kyle and I all bathe together! Though not usually Kyle, because he no like me and Tiol! He still fuck me, though, because he like get off! That what Tiol said, 'nyway! After bath, we have sex?"

"Wait," Jamie says. "Are you asking if we're going to have sex? Not if you're required to?"

"Yes."

"Oh," he says. "Okay! I thought you were asking if we were going to make you have sex with us. I'm not a rapist, so I wouldn't force you to have sex with me. Why don't we take a bath?"

"Okay!" I take off my clothes and go into the room with the bath.

It's hot!

Jamie and Max enter the room a minute later, both naked. They're both big. Jamie is bigger, but not as big as Tiol. Bigger than Braden and Kyle, though. I want him to fuck me.

Jamie helps me clean, scrubbing my back and hair like Tiol does. I want him to clean my ass and dick, too, but he tells me to do it myself, then cleans himself. We soak in the bath and they talk. I talk, too.

When the bath ends, Jamie helps me dry off, then dries self off. Max dries self off, too. Then, they go to the bed, telling me to sleep well.

"No sex?" I ask.

"No," Jamie says. "Though you can sleep on the bed if you want, just don't try to have sex with me."

"I no good 'nough?"

"You're a damn cute elf, Leif," Jamie says. "But I'd feel wrong fucking you, with the way you talk and act. Get some sleep, okay?"

"Okay!"

I jump onto the bed and put myself between them, that way, both of them by me. It feel nice and cozy. Maybe have Tiol and Braden sleep by me at night. Need bigger bed for that, though. Ask Tiol when return.

When wake up, Jamie sitting at table, eating fruit. Max still sleeping.

"Hey, Leif," Jamie says.

"Morning!" I walk over to him. "We have sex, now?"

"No," Jamie shakes his head. "We're not having sex."

"I want you dick in me."

"We're not having sex," Jamie says. "Maybe in the future."

"Future?"

"If we ever meet again," Jamie says.

"Oh, okay!"

"Max is a demigod," Jamie says. "Who's lived in the mortal realm his whole life, so he probably doesn't know. However, you're being trained by an Archdemon, right?"

"Tiol Archdemon!" I nod.

"Has he ever mentioned old Skills?" Jamie asks. "Ones that aren't common or heard of often?"

"Like what?" I ask.

"Specifically," Jamie says. "A Skill called 'Limitless Adaptation'. I have a friend looking it up in the Demon Realms, but I'm not sure when we'll meet up again."

"In the future?" I ask, and he nods. "Okay! No! Tiol never say that to me! Maybe I ask him, when we see each other again?"

"We probably won't see each other again," Jamie sighs. "Was really hoping maybe you knew, since you were being taught by an Archdemon. I highly doubt he hasn't heard of it."

"Probably not," Max say, and I look at him. His hair sticking out all over. Look funny. "What are you giggling at?"

"Your bedhead," Jamie says, and Max starts messing with hair, pulling it down. Bedhead hair like that? "It was worth a try, though. None of my research has yielded anything on that Skill – do you have to have it naturally, does it have to be granted, is there a way to unlock it, how much does it take to Level it, just how much can it do? So many questions, and yet no answers at all."

"Live in castle!" I say. "I go west get here, go through forest! No trail there! Walk on own! Probably got lost on way! We have sex?"

"No," Jamie says. "There's a massive forest to the east of here, though I doubt finding a castle like that would be easy, and I don't want to cross into an Archdemon's territory. He'd probably kill me on sight."

"Okay!" I say, then give him hug. "I be leaving, go back to castle! See if Tim learn lesson yet!"

"Okay," Jamie says. "Get dressed, and I'll walk to you to the gates. Eat some breakfast first, though."

"Okay!"

I eat breakfast, then get dressed, then Jamie walk me to gates. Max walk, too. They no have sex with me. Jamie do in future.

I walk down path. It take me two weeks get back to castle, I think. Night happens fifteen times.

"You took a long time," Tiol says when I return. "Why did it take you so long?"

"Took almost month get to city," I tell him. "I have question."

"Go ahead," he says.

"I meet someone," I say. "Demigod and human. Max and Jamie. Both have big dicks, but not as big as you. Bigger than Braden and Kyle. Jamie have the bigger dick. He no want fuck me."

"He might be straight."

"Huh?" I ask. "He said maybe future. That mean when we see each other again. If we do. I hope we do. I want him fuck me."

"So what's your question?" Tiol asks.

"Two questions," I tell him. "One, we get bigger bed? That way, you and Braden both sleep with me. I slept between them. It feel nice. Do same here. Bigger bed."

"Okay," Tiol says. "I'll see what I can do. Your other?"

"Jamie ask me if you know Skill," I tell him. "But I no know it. He say maybe you do, because you Archdemon, so ask if you ever mention to me. He seem want know about it."

"What's it called?" Tiol asks.

"Something Adaplation."

"Limitless Adaptation?" Tiol asks, eyes widening.

"Yeah!" I nod. "That! Limitless Adaptation! Jamie want know information on it, looking for information on it!"

"Is Jamie a human?" Tiol asks.

"How you guess?" I ask.

"Hells," Tiol says. "How old is he?"

"He twenty!" I tell him. "Max say that. Max demigod. Max say Jamie age, saying it unusual for a human to hit orange before reaching forty, yet he only twenty! No clue what orange me, though!"

"It's how dangerous he is," Tiol says. "Your color rating is White. It isn't easy for a human to reach orange in their life, much less in two years. So that's why the moons are gathered – a human has Limitless Adaptation. Let us hope he never come here."

"Oh, I hope!" I tell him. "I want Jamie fuck me! I bet he be way better than anyone else! So what be Limited Application?"

"Limitless Adaptation," Tiol answers, putting a hand on my head and messing up my hair. I made it look all nice before arriving, too. Look good for castle. "It's a Species Ultimate Skill, the one for humans. Either one must be born with it, or one must acquire it. It's never been available to a human before, though."

"Why not?" I ask.

"Species Ultimate Skills," Tiol says. "Are virtually impossible to acquire or be born with, and they're equally difficult to Level. However, they are called 'ultimate' for a reason – there is no Skill that Species can have that could rival it. It is something that enhances a Species' natural traits. For humans, it's adaptability-"

"Jamie say he adaptable!" I nod. "I remember him say that!"

"So then he most definitely has it," Tiol says. "Though I already assumed that, as there's not a mortal in this realm who would have known of it. In history, only two have ever acquired a Species Ultimate Skill – an elf, and a dwarf.

"You're probably hungry, let's go," he leads me inside, walking to the dining hall, where a feast awaits. "Sit down, and eat, Leif."

He sits down, and I do the same, starting to eat.

"That said," Tiol says. "Humans' Species Ultimate Skill is the most powerful of them all, because humans are the most dangerous Species of them all. Their ability to adapt is beyond even a shapeshifter's, and they can't formshift. Their Skill allows them to adapt to nigh any situation. Only someone with a Species Ultimate Skill could stand against me – and unless it's a human, they'd need a high Level for it and high stats, too."

"But not human?" I ask.

"No," he shakes his head. "A human is different in that their Skill makes it so that, should I fail to kill them initially, they could very well adapt to me entirely and kill me instead. Their Skill works better the greater the need, and a situation where they will die is such a need."

"So Jamie able kill you?"

"Yes."

"What 'bout Dragons?"

"They can, too," he nods. "But that's different. I think I mentioned that to you."

"Oh, okay," I say. "So Dragon I saw able kill you?"

"What Dragon?" He freezes.

"Flying over forest," I tell him. "I see few times. Flyyyyyyyying overhead. In the above."

Tiol make weird face, then stand quickly, knocking over chair.

"Get in the dungeons!" He bellows. "Now! Don't come out, no matter what! Stay down there! Get Braden and Kyle, too! They should be in the bath!"

"Why-"

"NOW!"

I stand and run, scared. Why Tiol yell at me? Braden and Kyle in bath.

"What's wrong?" Braden asks. "Why are you crying?"

"Tiol yell at me!" I cry. "He say get you two, go in dungeons, no come out! He just yell at me. All I do tell him Dragon flying over forest, and he start yelling."

"Dragon?" Braden asks, eyes widening. "Let's go!"

Braden jumps out of the bath, and starts running. Kyle follow him. I keep crying. Braden come back and pick me up, hold me over shoulder, and run. We get to dungeons, and he takes as deep as it go. I take off clothes. No like. Why Tiol yell at me.

Braden and Kyle no tell me.

We stay down long time. I sleep. They sleep. Get real hungry. Eventually, want go up, get food. No rats left down here. Kyle clean it all out.

"Leif," Kyle says softly when I wake second time. "Could you release Tim from his cell?"

"No like you!"

"Please?" Kyle asks. "Tiol kept having me clean down here while you were gone, said it was my punishment for upsetting you. I can-"

"No like you!" I push him away.

"I can sort of communicate with Tim," Kyle says. "If you tell him to go see why Tiol hasn't come back, I can tell you what he says, when he returns. We can find out."

Braden nods to me, so I release Tim and tell him what to do. He leaves, return hour later and chatters to Kyle, then runs off.

"He said that Tiol is missing," Kyle says. "And the forest around the castle is burned. The fires reached in through the gaps in the castle and the broken windows, and partially melted the stone. Can you banish him for a bit, to see if he can find out what happened?"

"Tim!" I yell. "Get your ass back here, now!"

He does, and I tell him I banishing him, so he need find out why Tiol not back. Then I kill him, then resummon him. He not know. Braden suggest not resummon for two hours, so I kill Tim again, then resummon him after two hours.

Tim chatters, then runs off.

"He said," Kyle says. "That Tiol was killed by a Dragon. He also says that Tiol said that if he did anything to upset you, he'd rip his essence out of the mortal plane and put it through the agony of a thousand years in a thousand hells."

"Tiol dead?"

"Tiol's back in the Demon Realms," Braden says. "When a Demon dies in this realm, they just return there."

"Oh," I say. "So Tiol just gone. Need resummon."

"Yeah," Braden nods. "But you don't have the power to summon him right now."

"I will," I nod. "Future. We see each other again. No Tiol around mean I get kill Kyle, now."

"What?" Kyle asks. "Wait-"

"I no like you," I say. "I kill you, now. Fireball."

"Wait!" Kyle runs off, and I chase after him.

I not really going kill Kyle, just make him think I will. This be fun.
