Chapter 17

When I wake up the first thing I see is the pale face of a certain lich hovering over mine. Not albino pale like ghosts, more like deathly pale. This makes sense as she is, technically, dead.

"Have you been there all night?" jack

"Yup" Lucy

"You don't get bored of watching me sleep?" jack

"Compared to a hundred years in the abyss, this is extremely fascinating." Lucy

"I guess that makes sense." jack

I look over to Johanna who is lying next to me. She looks more like she did at the beginning of last year, taller and less childish than before. Definitely less childish. Suddenly I hear a grown from her and she picks herself up and looks at Lucy, then at me, then back at Lucy.

"No fair, you got a head start on me" Johanna

"I thought sprits didn't sleep" jack

"All creatures sleep when they evolve" Johanna

Suddenly I hear a low moan coming from my other side. I look over at ghost and see that has a very interesting expression.

"Ah, masters give me more. I want you to torment me more" ghost

While ghost was sleep talking during her dream she cuts herself off with another moan. This one bigger than any of the previous ones. I feel a sticky wet spot on my leg where she’s curled around me after she’s done moaning.

"Good morning master" ghost

"Have any good dreams?" Johanna

"One or two" ghost

At that I smell something suspiciously similar to pancakes. The door opens and sally comes in.

"Breakfast will be done in half an hour, after that we're heading out so get ready." sally

She runs out just as fast as she ran in and I hear her say the same thing to a, till that moment, still sleeping selena down the hall.

"Well, I need to take a bath as I didn't do so last night" jack

I get up and grab the change of clothes that jacobe let me borrow, which, to my surprise, fit really well. As I walk to the bathroom, which is on the other side of the hall, I am followed by a mischievous wolf, sprite, and lich.

"Oh, didn't you three take a bath last night?" jack

As I tease them Johanna and Lucy blush, wait I thought undead couldn't blush, or even have a heartbeat to begin with. Now that I think about it I do hear a very faint but distinct sound of a heart beat every 30 seconds coming from Lucy. Any back on track, ghost interjects before anyone else can.

"We all want to have a bath with you of course!" ghost

"Well that fine I guess" jack

It was a very eventful shower. I gained several stats points, a new stat, and three new skills. I gained the stat flexibility as well as the skills sexual prowess, triple stab, and caress. Flexibility makes me more flexible, simple as that. Sexual prowess makes me better at pleasing my partner. Triple stab, as I would find out latter, is an attack skill that allows me to attack three times for every attack when using a piercing weapon. Caress basically makes me better at petting people and animals. And the three ex-virgins and one happy man head down for breakfast.

"Glad you could take time out of your schedule to join us for a meal" Joe

"Gotta eat, plus I love pancakes" jack

While we eat breakfast I decide to do an experiment with something that's been bugging me, telepathy. Why haven't I gained the telepathy skill yet? I think it's because I’ve only gone on premade paths when communicating with people mentally. So I try to stretch my mind out to jacobe in the same way that I stretch my mind out to ghost and Johanna when I talk telepathically with them. It takes a bit and it's mentally straining but eventually I manage to do it.

skill obtained: telepathy

'sup jacobe' jack

I smile as I watch him drop his fork, which was half way to his mouth and full of food.

"whets wrong bro" sally

jacobe just stares at the place where his fork was.

"sup jacobe" jack

as soon as I say that everyone looks at me, most of them have a look of confusion on their faces, but jacobe looks at me with a look of apprehension.

"so that was you" jacobe

"yup, just got the telepathy skill" jack

at this mr smith dropped his fork, which was half way to his plate trying to pick up more pancake.

"did you just say telepathy?" mr smith

"yes, I did. it is actually pretty easy to get, assuming you have communicated with someone telepathically before." jack

"but how?" mr smith

"I guess it's like flexing a muscle you weren’t aware of previously, if you’re aware of it is much easier to flex than if you aren’t aware of it. “jack

mr smith seems to ponder this for a time. we start eating again and after a while I hear banging on the other side of the front door. no one reacts to this so I just continue eating until I hear banging on the other side of the kitchen door. when it opens up I see a scar faced man, he is pretty burly but when I check his level it is only 3. I check his stats, I figured out how to do that when observe ranked up, and notice that all of his stats are extremely low, except his strength and vitality which were well above average.

"Joe you deal with this one" jack

"huh, why me!" Joe

"because I believe that you can take care of him" jack

"you just want me to kill him, don't you?" Joe

"if that’s what it takes" jack

"why don't you do it then?" Joe

"because I’m eating, besides if you don't want him to die you want to do it yourself. I would kill him in a heartbeat, just cause he's human filth that disturbed my meal." jack

at the particular nasty way I said that last part everyone, even the level three bandit who until that point had been frozen in place, look at me with confusion(except ghost of course)

"hah, little kids like you can't touch an adult like me." bandit

ok now he was really pissing me off, if Joe doesn’t do anything I am going to butcher him alive.

"Joe, if you want this man to live much longer you might want to knock him out" jack

"fine" Joe

"what can a child like you do to--" bandit

he was cut off by having his leg cut off, with a rather heavy hatchet swing. surprisingly it doesn't bleed, I think Joe used some healing magic on him to cauterize the wound. surprise at having his leg cut off caused him to faint.

"impressive" jack

he just glares at me.

suddenly another guy comes in looks at Joe, then at the man on the ground. he then starts to shriek like a little girl while pissing himself.

"shut him up will you" jack

"I’m not your slave." Joe

even though he says that Joe bashes him on the head with the flat of his hatchet.

after I finish eating I go over and search the bodies. after a minute or two I find what I’m looking for, a knife. it's poorly made and not properly balanced but it will do its job.

"well let’s head out, to your house Joe, right?" jack

"yeah, I guess" Joe
