Book 3: Chapter 2: Third, Fourth, or Fifth Contact?

“Alright looks like we are almost there, is everyone done training?” –Nick

“Yes, I can now drain the blood out of any normal person instantly! No one can stand in my way BUAHAHAHAHA!” –Maya

“Uhh, that’s nice dear, did we miss anything?” –Nick

Nick then looks to Solaria, Ruby and Lily and sees them shaking their heads. Right when Nick was about to say something else, Voarag grunts!

“Master, I may be big but I’m only a Saint beast, if these aliens as you call them, are as strong as mother then I won’t stand a chance!” –Voarag

“Fuck! Forgot about that! Uhh Sally? Can you fix that by any chance?” –Nick

Yes, but being a beast in order to jump him so many ranks he will have to go into a cocoon for a long time.

“Okay let’s plan to do that when we find a deserted place to land.” –Nick

“Yes master.” –Voarag

Of the four it seems only Maya likes training, the others have pissed off looks on their faces as if to say whatever is on the planet better be food or at least killable because if it isn’t, it will still die!

Soon they arrive on a planet that doesn’t look any bigger than Earth, that is also orbiting a yellow sun. It seems planets in this universe have this standard MO as Avoia also was Earth sized and orbiting a yellow sun.

After arriving they looked for a barren place to land. Unfortunately they did not find one. This planet looked like Yavin IV from Star Wars as the entire planet was full of green in every direction!

“Change of plans, look for a mountain or something with so much green that nothing would live there.” –Nick

“Using my bloodvision I notice that the mountain over there is a dwelling place for a lot of sentient creatures, so that is a very bad idea. The dense trees over there also seems to be full of life, we should try the empty plain over there, only cattle and other non sentient creatures are there.” –Maya

“But that is in the middle of fucking everything! Oh well, no choice! Voarag get small and let’s head over there!” –Nick

And thus Nick, his four wives, and Voarag settled in a middle of a plain full of grass which for some reason had no one living on it. It must be noted that in fantasy stories, forests are always full of Demihumans and Elf like creatures, whereas mountains are full of Dwarves, Gnomes and Dark Elves, but plains are always the place where Humans and Barbarians roam. It is clear that no such creature lives on this planet!

“Be careful, there are most likely no humans here as humans always dwell in plains where the other pesky ones live in trees or mountains or underground.” –Lily

“Lily makes a good point, I also noticed this.” –Voarag

“Okay then be extra vigilant! First we need to make a dwelling that will hide Voarag, let’s try to make something hard to see. Can you do that Ruby?” –Nick

“Easy, I’ll just make a castle with magic and then make it invisible.” –Ruby

While Ruby was busy making a dwelling place, Nick asked Solaria and Lily what they learned as they seemed to have gotten stronger too.

“I am able to become one with fire. No, I feel like I can get even further but I’m stuck at this point. Sally says I can’t get any stronger even with her help so I have to figure out the rest on my own. It’s very eerie so I can’t understand how anything could ever kill me at this point, yet there are beings much stronger? I have to contemplate on this further.” –Solaria

This caused Maya to stare hard at Solaria.

“As long as I’ve known you, this is the most introspective I have ever seen you! Where did my Solaria go?” –Maya

“I’m still here, I just have to recoup my mental faculties and I’ll be back to my normal self.” –Solaria

“Good it seems with your new insights you will be right at my side in case we come into any danger. Your melee skills are strong and your fire is ever burning. What about Lily.” –Nick

“It’s hard to explain. My powers are about sex more or less and further insights are just confusing. I have reached the pinnacle of sex and sex magic yet at the same time I no longer require sex for sustenance. It’s like I’ve transcended my normal self and became something more. Power wise I can dominate someone’s mind, sex no longer matters as it’s just the way inside. My innate fire and dark magic are also stronger but not to any on our level, my insights are only into sex and magic related to it. I suppose in a fight I have to stay at a distance to let my powers work, though my race is very strong in melee, my new powers have no place in close range.” –Lily

“Mouthful! A mouthful! And it’s not cocks! I’ve seen it all! The world is truly ending in 5 months! At first I didn’t believe it, but now it has to be true!” –Maya

“Okay done, I’ve already shown Voarag where he will be staying and had Sally start the process. He’s now a large cocoon in a huge cellar underground. He should be safe there even if someone finds our base and attacks it.” –Ruby

“Excellent, now we choose, mountains with ugly creatures like Dwarves potentially or trees with even worst creatures like Elves?” –Nick

“For someone married to a Dark Elf you seem to hate Elves a lot.” –Ruby

“He just hates races that are good for no reason. Our husband cannot stand people who are good for no reason. I’d sooner kill them than join them. Dark Elves and Demons are perfect for him.” –Maya

“It’s good someone understands me! Okay so where to?” –Nick

“Let’s check out the trees. Usually taller races live in trees! Tall means more blood!” –Maya

Well it is good that someone is excited. Both Solaria and Lily look like they have reached Mt. Tai or something similar and are too busy meditating to even see what is right in front of them! –Nick

“Trees are fine, plus nature magic is my thing, no pesky Elf can beat me at it, at least not now that I’ve gained insights into the truth of nature. I am nature and nature is me, I can even feel about 500 nature lovers to the west over there in the forest. We definitely should go there.” –Ruby

“Okay let’s go! Solaria and Lily, for now it may be best if you don’t talk. In fact none of us should talk out loud unless it is really important, I’ll set up the mind link now.” –Nick

MIND LINK! –Nick

‘Okay for now on, any talking we do to each other should be through this!’ –Nick

‘Roger that!’ –Maya

‘A good plan.’ –Ruby

‘…’ –Lily

‘…’ –Solaria

‘Let’s head out, when we get there I will make my presence known. If it comes to a fight, Ruby you sick with Lily for ranged support, Maya you protect them, Solaria you are with me so stay besides me.’ –Nick

As soon as they get above the center of the forest, Nick releases his Aura to encompass the entire forest. Well that was at least his plan, but remember this is a Class 4 planet and any large energy signature might be felt by those farther away than just the forest.

Well at least his plan worked as shortly afterwards about 10 creatures flew up from the forest. Clearly all at the same power level of Nick and his crew. Interestingly enough, these creatures did kind of look like Elves. Well they had light green skin with pointed ears and large anime slanted eyes that were bright yellow like a bugs. They also had bug wings and antennae yet no other bug like features meaning they are completely humanoid and thus could become potential mates.

Fortunately for Nick, they look way too much like the treehugging Elves that they are to turn him on even in the slightest. After all, these are just weak Class 4 beings, he needs to find the higher beings so he doesn’t need to make nice with them at all.

It must be noted that thanks to Sally and the girls taking over the system, all of Nick’s friends and family learned a universal language skill which allows them to speak the Gods tongue which lets them understand any language in English and speak English back so that anyone can understand them.

“Halt and state your business or die!” –Strange Elf like creature Male

Or die? Do I really need to listen to these fuckers? I see Dwarves over there, no need to be nice here at all. Fuck it, they pissed me off just for living by maybe they have some information before they die. –Nick

“As you can see I am a human, I am here for answers.” –Nick

“Human? There are no such things as Humans that reached the God rank. All humans are mortal or dead or in different universes! How is this possible? Are you from a different universe?” –Same Elf

‘Well fuck, it appears Humans really are terribly weak in our universe. I’m going to ask one more question, if I don’t like the answer then these fuckers are dead. Get ready.’ –Nick

“Nearly 50 years ago our mortal planet full of Humans evolved and here we are.” –Nick

“Hahahahaha, then you are all doomed! Humans always fail the trials as they never listen. The second Monument must not be touched! If you are here then you touched it for sure! We don’t even have to kill you, you are already dead!” –Same Elf

“Eat shit and die.” –Nick

Then Nick did a new move that he learned with the help of Sally that works on even Gods. There is a certain nerve in the brain that is needed in order for the Godly powers of regeneration to work. He is able to instantly destroy that part of the brain as well as the nerve that sends instructions to the heart effectively killing the pesky Elf instantly.

“Weak, seems your leader died instantly!” –Nick

“Kill!” –Different Elf

This caused the other 9 to attack Nick simultaneously. Bad move because if they just attacked someone else they would not have been turned into ashes before anyone could take a breath.

“You dare attack Nick? Die!” –Solaria

INFERNO DI DIABLO! –Solaria

It must be noted that Nick was very close to these guys, so when Solaria turned into a ball of fire, even Nick was stir fried. Fortunately Nick is no weaker than Solaria so the flames didn’t do more than annoy him as his suit effectively makes him twice as strong as the strongest Elf like demon bug creature.

‘Fuck this, Ruby and Maya, go destroy the forest and all that live there, spare no one! Lily to me, we need to calm down Solaria.’ –Nick

With a knowing look, Lily grabs both Nick and Solaria and flies them back to their home before they could protest. Then before Solaria could even speak a word, Lily turned her power on full blast turning Solaria’s anger into lust.

In order to capitalize on this moment, Nick used his power over the suits to make both him and Solaria naked. He then jumped on her and started kissing her like death was imminent and if they don’t procreate now they never will be able to.

This caused Solaria to take charge and throw Nick on his back so she could mount him. And mount him she did!

Not to be outdone, Lily got behind Solaria and used her tail in a way that only a Succubus knows how, causing Solaria to scream out.

“AHHHHH! Double team me now! Do it harder, do it faster! DOUBLE TEAM ME!!!” –Solaria

This caused Nick to go blank and Lily to firm her resolve as she continued to pound Solaria in the ass while simultaneously rubbing her tail against her own clit, causing her to have her own orgasm.

“I’M CUMMING! Ahhhhhhnnnnnnnnnn!” –Lily

“Me too, can’t hold it much longer!” –Nick

Then Nick thrust a few more times into Solaria and exploded his load all over the place.

“I’m cumming again!” –Solaria

Then all three of them started to cum simultaneously before slowly calming down as Lily turned off her lust, a job well done.

“We’re BAAAAACK!” –Maya

“Hey no fair! After a large bloodbath I wanted to have more fun too!” –Maya

“We had to calm down Solaria so she didn’t burn down the whole forest.” –Lily

“*WHISTLES*” –Ruby

“Um... Ruby. You didn’t by chance destroy the whole forest did you?” –Nick

“It’s not my fault! I was caught up in the moment. All the blood on one side and all the lust on the other. I didn’t really burn it… but…” –Ruby

Then Nick got out of the sandwich he was under and looked at this two mates that just came in. One covered in blood and the other with a smug look on her face but no stains.

“Do I want to know?” –Nick

“Well there were like 500 of them, and their magic was nearly as strong as Ruby which made her upset, so I just drained their blood with my new powers and danced in the middle of their village while Ruby did her thing. It may be best you see what she did instead of us trying to explain it.” –Maya

Thus Nick left their dwelling and flew to the west to see the forest. But he didn’t find a forest, all he saw was a barren wasteland. This caused him to shudder as this was Ruby without an enhancement suit as only Maya and Solaria were fighting with extra juice.

“So Ruby, dare I ask what spell that was?” –Nick

“Well I thought about what you said about finding a barren place on this planet, and then when the fighting started I remembered the Black Plague and was like, hey I can just drain the life of this forest and call it good. So I did.” –Ruby

Note to self, never ever ever! Upset Ruby. NEVER! –Nick

“Okay it’s all good, you did a good job so no worries. Let’s just go to our dwelling and rest, tomorrow we will find those who came to investigate.” –Nick

Hina’s POV

It’s been a month since Joseph and I jumped on Kiki’s back and came to this new land. And after a full month I have finally finished the first quest that I was given long ago by Hiro’s dad. Odd that the quest itself did not show up until I landed on the new Continent.

It has become clear to me that Hiro’s dad is some type of higher entity, I’m at the peak of the Demigod rank and still cannot fathom what type of power he must have to give me a quest when I am three that doesn’t show up until I’m almost 17!

“It’s done Mistress. This Castle and City are now yours, you have control over the entire Continent now.” –Joseph

“Thank you, you may leave.” –Me

Now everyone bows down to me. Even Joseph calls me Mistress which is weird. At first I thought he might be a good companion as I needed a strong man to satisfy me, but his mind is weak. He still cares about Tiffany too much and even can’t reach my level of strength which is weird since all he does is trains all the time.

I still find it odd that I ever loved or even liked Hiro as during the fight with the Demon King it all vanished completely as if it were some type of lie or spell. I don’t really care anymore at this point as all the guys I meet are weak and are simply not worthy to be my mate. Though the quest I got and completed was weird but I still remember it.

QUEST:

The Start of it AllYou have finally broken through the barrier separating the Demon Continent with the main Continent. Establish your dominance on this new Continent as the only ruler.Rewards:

Your true task will be revealedFailure:

Quest only fails upon your death

Well I just finished that quest, I wonder what is next.

*DING*

Quest Accepted!

Hate the fucking quest system here. If I don’t manually check the quests I get no information!

“Show quests.” –Me

*DING*

Quest Log1. Training the Champion

“Sally what the fuck? Are you doing this to me?” –Me

No, there are other Gods specifically on this Continent that are fucking up with my system. It is pissing me off, for now please just do what it says and I’ll help you along the way to get revenge!

“Okay that is reassuring, for now let’s see what I have to do. Show details training the champion.” –Me

*DING*

QUEST:

Training the ChampionYou have been tasked to train the Champion of Trickery for the upcoming War of the Champions. Don’t worry, she will find you.Rewards:

Freedom from random questsFailure:

Quest Fails if you or the Champion dies, no penalty if Champion dies

“Well at least I don’t have to do anything. Sally any ideas?” –Me

Yes, I’ve met this Champion and am even helping her out as I thought she was a lost soul from Earth. I’ll make sure she doesn’t die, then we can take down Loki who is the God of Trickery!

Wow looks like Sally is pissed off, best keep on her good side. It also seems clear that Hiro’s dad is actually Loki. That is some fucked up shit right there. Guess I’ll wait around for directions from Sally or for this person to come here.

“When she is on her way let me know so I can make it easier for her to find me.” –Me

Sure thing! Now I see why mommy likes you so much! Also I’m putting Kiki to sleep for awhile so she can grow stronger, tell her it was a request from Voarag when she wakes up. Right now she is in her lair in a cocoon so don’t bother her until she wakes up.

Okay whatever that means. Guess I just wait here then.

Alice’s POV

The next day I wake up to a room of darkness. It seems now that I’m immortal I only require about 2 hours or even less of sleep a night. The darkness soothes me so I get ready for the next day and simply meditate until the new day arrives.

Then out of nowhere someone enters my room through the shadows. Oh it’s just the creepy old man.

“You are early.” –Me

I love being mysterious, makes me feel powerful as I show others how weak they are. I am the master of the shadows and this old man things he can sneak up on me? Pathetic!

“It is time for your to be induced into our order. We are the only group of Assassins on the Continent and this is our main training area with me as the manager of it. Once you go through the induction you will not be able to betray us as betrayal is death, and failing quests is also death. Be prepared.” –Old man

*DING*

Quest Accepted!

Fuck! Something tells me this is an impromptu quest at that.

“Give me one moment while I finish my meditation.” –Me

“Okay I will wait here.” –Old man

Let’s see if I can think up the blue screens.

‘Show Quests.’ –Me

*DING*

Quest Log1. Escape the Consortium

I guess this great association is called the Consortium… how original… NOT.

‘Show details escape the consortium.’ –Me

*DING*

QUEST:

Escape the ConsortiumYou have been marked by the Consortium. Your only chance is either join them or escape. Escape means death. Fortunately, you get to decide who’s death. Destroy the Consortium.Rewards:

Real quest and purpose unlocks as this is just a testFailure:

Quest fails if you Join the Consortium causing your mission to fail and Loki to be upset. You do not want Loki to be upset.

Well that’s easy. I guess I finally have a use for my mind reading ability that I gained insight to when I became immortal.

“I’m ready… but are you?” –Me

Then I disappear into the shadows.

“What?” –Old man

And before he could finish his words, I already relieved him of his limbs. Now he is just a bloody mess on the ground with no arms or legs. I then put my hand on his head to see what I can learn.

MEMORY STEAL! –Me

His memories are not what scared me, but the fact that he blew up as soon as I learned them did. Apparently even stealing his memories counts as him betraying the Consortium and that caused him to explode. Fortunately the rest of me was in the shadows and I only lost my hand. If I were mortal this would piss me off but the perks of being immortal is being able to reset your looks no matter what damage you gain. So after a few minutes my hand grew back. Can’t say the same for this warehouse as the explosion was HUGE.

Using my senses I realized that no one within 100 meters of me is alive and that means he killed all the agents in this area which is helpful. But why oh why is the main headquarters near the Capital?

To give an idea of how far away I am from the Capital just imagine being in Miami Florida and have to travel west to the Capital. Well the Capital would be Moscow Russia in this case. An impossible journey for a mortal, but should only take me two months as I need to train now that I can move through the shadows and have shed my mortality. I’d fly there quickly but something tells me that won’t work. I have to be assumed dead as I was marked already which means they know all about me. Hell they even knew I was coming before I even knew where I was.

This is clearly a trap set by Loki to see if I’m worthy. Always with the tricks!

‘As the Champion of Trickery know that I know your tricks. I’ll be done here shortly.’ –Me

‘Hohoho, of course my Champion would understand. I leave the rest to you.’ –Loki

‘Sally can you hear me?’ –Me

‘Yes! Oh and I already know what your next quest is!’ –Sally

‘How?’ –Me

‘Well I found the other end of it already, Loki doesn’t know he is being watched as he got permission to do what he is doing before I came in power, so as far as he is concerned, everything he is doing is above board. Which it technically is since I haven’t set any new rules about it yet, but still I can help you now!’ –Sally

‘Well what do I have to do?’ –Me

‘Destroy the Consortium then go to the Capital, I don’t want to blow it beyond that, but it will be really easy, soon as you get to the capital just tell the guards your name and that you are there to meet Hina and your final quest will auto complete!’ –Sally

‘Well that sounds easy, but why won’t you tell me the quest details?’ –Me

‘Because it makes a funny secret! No harm will come to you, just destroy the consortium, when you reach level 200 I have a surprise for you as I don’t think you can win as you are. But to make sure you are ready I won’t cheat until you reach level 200 or else Loki will notice it.’ –Sally

‘Okay thanks Sally, I will leave on my journey after the sun comes up, I need supplies. Arrg if only I had some way to store all the stuff I need. Why is there no inventory or item box?’ –Me

‘Because this isn’t a video game duh! Just find an interspatial ring or something, I’m sure a rich noble has one in the city, no reason not to relieve him of it and his head while you are at it, I hate rich nobles!’ –Sally

‘Well no time like the present, know where any of these nobles can be found?’ –Me

‘Yes, go north and the largest building is a mansion of the Duke who is the most oppressive person here. If anyone has an interspatial ring it is him.’ –Sally

‘Thanks, do I get any rewards for this?’ –Me

‘Sorry I’m not giving you any quests so long as Loki is watching you. You don’t need a good reason to kill the Duke so he won’t mind that at all. But hurry up before he wonders why you are just standing there in the dark.’ –Sally

‘Fine fine.’ –Me

Still merged in the shadows, I move north and quickly find the mansion I am looking for. Once there I slip in through an open window on the 5th floor. Yes I said 5th floor, this fucking mansion is huge!

I’m so pissed off right now that I want to paint the entire city in blood. But instead I’ll settle for the Duke and his family.

A few floors and a few dead guards later I finally find the Dukes bedroom. It seems he sleeps there with his wife and his only son is in a different room on the same floor.

Just to be sure I’m not missing anything, I move to the sleeping Duke to search his mind.

MEMORY STEAL! –Me

Wow what corrupt knowledge! At least now I know where all the corrupt nobles are along the way, so I kill him and his wife and take his interspatial ring and bind it to myself.

Wow this ring has everything I need! Tons of gold and food! Before I get too carried away I go and kill his son and quickly leave the city towards the west towards the Capital.

‘Interesting that you killed the ruler of the city. Why I wonder.’ –Loki

‘I see you only know how to trick others. But if you were mortal you would know that knowledge is power. He even had an interspatial ring with tons of gold and food. Also the guards gave me levels so clearly it was worth doing!’ –Me

‘Ugh, I guess I’ve lost my touch, even living as a mortal for so many years doesn’t make you one. I guess you are the perfect Champion huh?’ –Loki

‘Of course I am. I’m me after all.’ –Me

Now to check my progress since I did gain some levels and stat points.

‘Show status and skills.’ –Me

I actually like having a longer chapter so this may happen in the future. Unfortunately no more chapters in this series for awhile. I might get one out this weekend and if so it will be Friday unless my weekend plans change somehow. I do expect to get a chapter or two in on my other series however.

I also find it funny that some people know how to talk to Sally in their head and other's don't. I'm trying to keep that consistent though so if I fail please let me know. Also how is my character development? If you feel someone isn't getting enough love in that department please let me know and I'll try to fix it... unless they are a side character then forget about it!
