《A tale of Might and Magic [Hiatus/Dropped]》21.- Those good old times 1.3

Changed title and cover. I like it better that way. Really edgy...
Enjoy!
Calvin POV
One week has passed, in game, since we started to move towards our next dungeon.
Our levels were climbing up, our masteries improving and whenever we stopped at a city or village, the three of us used this chance to improve our crafts.
Standard MMO stuff, really.
Ben has just rushed us the whole time and enjoyed being showered with affection by his girlfriend.
Elena has been bolder and bolder with every day... sigh...
Daisy has been all buddy buddy with the girls and was encouraging Elena, just like a certain other pain in the ass.
And now that we are talking about him... he really was just as annoying as always, nothing new here. About the only times he got bearable was in combat, when he played with Hannah and flirted with Daisy.
There were also about 4 or 5 different people that have been following us, probably spying. They never even tried to approach us. Probably waiting for the right chance..
But the most annoying part of this whole little adventure have been the breaks we took.
It always goes like this: It starts with some chat. Nice and friendly. Artjem says something retarded, sometimes it is funny, more often we just laugh about him and not with him.
Then it starts. Ben flirts and is in his little world. Artjem also wants to get some of this and Daisy calls him annoyed and embarrassed an idiot or something like this aaand... Elena also wants to make progress.
I don't even want to talk about it...
After another day of nonstop hunting down various beasts that were above our levels, we sat down and took a break.
The women walked away and wanted to take a bath in a lake.
Artjem wanted to.. guard them and I told him nicely that he was and never will be allowed to.
And so we sat there...
“Guys...” Artjem began one of his brain hurting conversations. “Do you have any dreams? Any desires?”
I did not want to fall for that but unfortunately Ben walked right into it. “Of course, what do you think?”
“Is it something that if you would have achieved it you could just drop dead that very same moment and have nothing to regret about your life?”
Ben smiled. “Yes, I think that would describe the situation nicely. “
“And you?”
I frowned. “Yes, I also have a dream, just like every other human to ever exist.”
“So tell me, my friends, my brothers... what may your dreams be?”
“To finish this game. “Ben told.
“To explore the world. “I told.
Artjem could maintain a straight face for about 3 seconds until it crumbled and a disgusted face faced us.
“I am talking about a real mans dreams, not that gay shit.”
It was hard to contain my anger as I replied. “Exploring the world is a real romantic dream many share with me, just... fuck off.”
He looked with pity at me. “This is just so.... boring and gay...” he nodded his head with understanding. “It kind of fits you, good luck. “He gave me a thumbs up.
OHHH H GOD! I have never wanted to kill someone so hard. EVER!
Ben just laughed. “Haha, Calvin, just get used to it. He does not really mean it that way and by the way, you should get of your high horse...” He gave me a serious look.
Artjem just continued. “Well, whatever you bitches. I am talking about a real mans dream.” He opened a sound file with drums playing music to create hype. “Get this. “ His face betrayed him as his seriousness was barely visible and excitement showed through the most. “To have a Mother... AND a daughter... AT THE SAME TIME!”

I just looked at him, well as... I often looked at him in the last few days.
Why am I even surprised anymore at this point. I should really just get used to it.
Like Benjamin, who was laughing right now.
“HEY! Laughing when your friend tells you his biggest life goal! Asshole! Well, maybe you have just not understood my intention. Let me paraphrase it. A mother, the definition of Milf, big tits, in her forties, amazing sexapeal, her whole body just exudes experience. A cougar, you just know that she would fuck you for hours once she gets in the mood....
Then there is the daughter. Young, adorably innocent. Barely experienced at all, totally in love with you, ready to do just about anything for your sake, maybe you are even her first love, who knows.
Then there is the act itself. The Mother TEACHES her offspring while you are doing the both of them, the young woman does everything to please the both of you and the mature woman is happy to provide her help. “While describing he got more exciting with every second, screaming some words from time to time. I think he might have gotten in the mood just from imagining this.
“Well..” I answered. “I am sure the fortunate girl that would be willing to do that would be very normal and not weird or fucked up at all. Who does not dream of having sex with her mother?”
Artjem got angry and hit me back with his next statement. With a mocking voice that was supposed to sound weird he said. “My name is Calvin and my beautiful sister wants to fuck me. My life is so hard... Ohh shut the fuck up.”
We did not talk much after that. Just sat there. After replaying what he had said just now, I took it all in without being grumpy and unbiased against Artjem.
All of this stupid shit he just told, I replayed it in my head and took it in one more time.
Suddenly, like a retard I just started to laugh uncontrollably.
I should do that more often haha. I do not even understand why the guy went so hard under my skin, maybe I was really just arrogant and thought myself as someone above him.
Back then, when I saw how he jumped down the tower and ran straight to the dwarf...
I was more than impressed, I was in awe.
He was dangerous, like a double edged sword.
Artjem might be the reason why we could fail the easiest of mission but he could also be the key to doing something incredible.
Just thinking about it, with a double edged sword that could double the chances to success, what an amazing opportunity it could be... and should we loose, we just repeat, in the end failure is not something to fear here in game.
Yes, I should just get used to him, learn his ways and get him to become attached to us. Would be a shame if we lost him.
He spoke up again. “And you Benji boy? What is the deal with the cute but dangerous girl of yours?”
Ben had question marks above his head. “Yes, what about her?”
Artjem just smiled with his wolfish grin. “Should I really say it out loud? Okay... I meant actually what is the deal with you?”
“What do you mean?”
Artjem continued. “Well.... She obviously is totally in love with you, doing everything she possibly can to please you, it really warms my heart when I see it. “ He put a hand above his chest and had a falsely honest expression on his face. “BUT! You don't really feel that way, do you? Always accepting it but not giving so much in return... Are you possibly using her? It really is not about her, is it? You would have taken just anyone as long as they would shower you with their affection. What a cruel man you are... Even I would have told her to the face to not expect much of me, but you just let her hang on the hook, not holding her captive of course, just kind of not freeing her either....”

Wow, I also noticed something along those lines but did not speak up since it would have been rude...
It was very insightful.. Was he always like this?
Or can Artjem be clever and insightful when it benefits him in being a total dick?
Strangely it makes sooooo much sense... I don't even know what to expect any more...
Ben just got quiet and did not deny it, he looked guilty to the floor.
“Even if I have judged you just now, believe me I am not judging you overall.” Artjem said with a grin. “I just wanted to make sure that we all know where we are standing. None of us are innocent, we are all fucked up in the head, having more than just one issue to tell the psychiatrist about. Go on and have fun with her all you want and when you throw her away find a new one, I won't judge you on that, have fun! This is a game and games are made to be played after all...”
We sat there then in quiet until the women and children returned and we went further ahead after a short break.
Daisy POV
We took another one of our breaks, it was only a few days more until we would arrive at our destination. Their levels were climbing nicely and the few cities we took breaks in were used by most of them to improve their crafts.
Sitting around a fire like usual, we just relaxed. Ben was casually flirting with Elizabeth, cool girl by the way, we had some talked about some rather interesting topics together.
Elena saw that as a challenge and tried to flirt with her brother. Gulp... forbidden love FTW!
He on the other hand just awkwardly tried to block it in his mind and tried his hardest in not noticing it, but it is hard when a pair of big and soft breast are pressed against your arm and a beautiful women tries to feed you and just showers you with affection.
By the way, Elena also tries to make Artjem come out as gay for a few days now. They would talk about manly topics and then she would throw in their conversation something girly and he would admit to it.
The best thing about it is that Artjem is completely oblivious... It is so hard not to laugh when they do that.
But now....
Like often, Artjem was pathetically attempting to flirt with me.
“Baby, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”
I sighted loudly. “Yes, can't you see my face, how disfigured it is, it still is broken from that time. God damn Lucifer, playing pranks and shit...”
He laughed at that. “I would like to see the plastic surgeon that did such a fine job then...”
“Pff, my appearance was designed by my mother, I bet she reaaaly would like to meat you later.”
He frowned at that. “Well, first of all that is kind of or actually a lot of strange... And second, learn to take a compliment, you adorable little thing.”
I laughed. “ Did you not call Hannah an adorable little thing yesterday?” he got red in the face of all things.... “And looks are superficial, could not care less.” I frowned.
“But there are not just your looks, there is your strong and independent character, while also being adorably innocent. I like your nerdy side, I adore your clumsiness and awkwardness that you show from time to time AND the truth is I also happen to like your incredible looks. “He told me while maintaining eye contact and getting further ahead in my safe space, further than I would have liked.
Damn, he is good at such things, I thought while avoiding his gaze and getting redder than ever. As time goes on and I get to know him better, it gets harder and harder to ignore the butterflies in my stomach.
My mother would always tell me about such things, she would tell me romantic stories and at the same time warn me about men, something she did not need to do because I was not so fond of them to begin with, but it really was the first time when a male showed more than just a little interest in me. Someone who would not just attempt to flirt but just ignoring me after failing. He just could not give up...
Was he maybe in love with me?
I blushed at that though even further, breaking all records.
“By the way how do you look irl? I mean you could be a land whale fucked a hippopotamus and then that child had an orgy with elephants, I don't really care. I am just curious.”
Damn, there it is again...
My blush disappeared and an annoyed face replaced it.
No matter if fully aware or not, at least once half an hour he will say something that will ruin everyone's mood or just strike in their weak spots, causing them to get angry.
Looking coldly and annoyed at him I tried to convey that I was not interested in answering him.
He only nodded in understanding. “Okay, I get it, I am either right or you don't trust me enough. Okay, then I will tell you about what I am in real life.”
I could see how mostly everyone was interested in it, I mean we did not talk much of it, not because we did not want to, it just never came up and real life is really not an interesting topic to begin with.
“Okay, I am an ex military and nearly twenty years ago, on my last mission there was unplanned shit going on and an already short story summoned up in a few words: I am a cripple. Without an arm and legs, most of my body covered in burns. Really fucking ugly if you ask me, I don't have photos to show you... maybe later, gonna be fun. We should do a challenge who can look the longest at it without vomiting. I really would not stand much and loose fast, but hey, you can have fun I guess.”
Wow... I needed a few minutes to processes that.
“Wait, 20 years ago? How old are you actually??”
He just shrugged. “37 or something, kind of stopped giving a shit and counting after 21.”
“Wow, so old....” Everyone in the group agreed.
Ben spoke up. “I am 31 and I thought I was the oldest by far...”
Artjem asked me. “So, beautiful woman, how old are you?”
hmm... This is a tricky question, it really is...
Should I tell them the truth or something else?
It really depends on the definition since it is not so easy to answer and has not really a right answer at all...
A genius idea stroke my head. This was the perfect opportunity to tease and mock Artjem.
Yes, I am sooo using that chance to get back at him hehe.
“I am 12.”
Like I said, it does depend on the definition, so I am not entirely lying about it.
Artjem, still smiling stiffly asked again. “What?”
“I, Daisy Ledger, born on may seconds am of 12 years of age as of right now. Pleased to meet you.”
From the side Ben could only snicker at this since he knew that it was probably bullshit, but he could not known what the deal was, probably thought that I was just lying to him.
His stiff smile broke and he lost all color. The smile turned into a shocked expression as he started to shake slightly as he tried to get distance between the both of us.
I could no longer maintain a serious expression and started to laugh violently.
It was time to pay him back for all this teasing he had done to me.
“Uncle, do you maybe have some candy you could give me?”
He was still pale as ever as he was avoiding my eyes.
“Uncle, is the forest there dark enough for you?”
“........”
“Uncle, do you maybe want to show me anything interesting in that dark forest? Maybe there is a bag of tasty candy that is just waiting for me there?”
Everyone was laughing violently now at that bizarre exchange.
Calvin and Ben had the most fun, and Elena just came forwards.
“Don't worry, if it comes to court I could help you out.” She winked her eye. “You don't even swing that way to begin with so there is no danger.”
The dumbfounded Artjem sat there, all blood drained from his face and a confused and shocked expression on it.
After we had some more fun with him, which took us a few hours and a lot of bad puns that declined in quality after each, Ben finally spoke up.
“Artjem, chill, I have known her for 5 years now and I can certainly say that she is older than 14.”
He brightened up. “Yes, of course haha...” But still was not calmed down even after.
Yes, we did know each other for so long... but it is still not as easy.
At the end, by definition I died with the age of 12.
By definition I am not even a real human. A copy of a barely functioning human before. I should not even consider that individual myself, but I do.
I am just a Npc with some advantages.
AN: shorter chapter. To lazy to think of an excuse. Might take a while till the next one.
2 more chapter till the next dungeon, should be bigger longer stronger than the last one and lots of action.
