Chapter 28

you have obtained the skill darkness form

your pet/slave has obtained the skill magic amplification

your pet/slave ghost has obtained the form half-beast (wolf)

your pet/slave Johanna has obtained the skill wind form

I wake up in the middle of the night and look at the moon, everyone else is still asleep. I’ve always loved the moon, it appears to be peaceful and calm while causing changes all over the world, from natural disasters, to the tides. All of which is controlled by the moon. The moon also has effects on every creature in the world, the amount of influence changing by race as well as several other factors. For example, most of the beasts are strongly affected by the moon.

'Three days till full moon, huh' jack

I look over at an icon hovering in the lower right hand corner of my vision telling me that I have some system messages.

your previous actions are being taken into account, your stats will update within the next 3 years. The higher your stats were before the system booted up the longer it will take to calculate. You will not be able to view your status screen in this time, you will still be able to pull up information on your skills, level up, and increase your stats during this time. The more you demonstrate your abilities the shorter it will take to calculate your stats

'Well, fuck' jack

I then check the next message which was more interesting.

update! The blessings bar has been unlocked. However, due to the fact that you cannot accesses your status screen it will become a separate screen until that is fixed

I decide to pull up the blessings tab even though I already know what it will say.

'Check blessings' jack

blessings:

Blessing of a greater succubus (permanent)

Blessing of the east fairy tribe (permanent)

Curse of pointlessness (temporary)

Ok, I really am surprised. What the fuck is with that curse?! Seriously?! Pointlessness?! Anyway, I decide to check that one first, just in case.

'Check curse of pointlessness'

curse of pointlessnesscurse rank:pointlessthis curse does absolutely nothing. It is just a reminder for you to come visit me. This curse will be lifted when you talk to the one who cursed you

Signed: Jackeline

Greater goddess of wisdom and death

'What an eccentric goddess' jack

'Check blessing of a greater succubus' jack

blessing of a greater succubusblessing rank:greaterthis blessing is awarded to those who have either impressed a succubus or managed to get her to owe you a debt, like saving her life. This blessing improves vitality and makes you immune to charm magic. Due to an unavoidable side effect of this blessing you go into heat every full moon. The effects of this blessing are amplified due to the succubus that blessed you being a greater succubus

Johanna also has this blessing as well as the fairy blessing, and I am assuming she has the pointless curse. Jackeline is rather fond of Johanna

'Check blessing of the east fairy tribe' jack

blessing of the east fairy tribeblessing rank:legendarythis blessing is awarded to those the largest fairy tribe, east tribe, deem worthy, which almost never happens. you are one of the three people alive with this blessing. Any fairy you meet will instantly trust you and be friendly with you. You learn and improve magic oriented skills faster. Pixies instinctually hate you

Ah, I had almost forgotten about the angelic/demon rivalries. while Angelics as a hole don't hate the demons, in fact they are on extremely friendly terms and vice versa, every angelic race has a demon counterpart, and vice versa. These counter parts, quite literally mirror images of each other, hate the other side of the pair. The reason for this is unknown. Some examples are devils/angels, pixies/fairies, shadowlings/lightlings. This just means I have to avoid interacting with any light bringers, the opposite of shades.

I get to work on ransacking my room, first getting my interdimensional backpack. As soon as I grab it I receive a system message.

congratulations! You have gained an inventory item! Available slots 453/1000. Would you like to absorb this item into your permanent inventory? None of the items will be lost.

Yes or no

'Yes, why not'

I pull up my inventory and check through it, seeing various magic items, instruments, weapons, potions, etc. I pull out a flute and put it too my lips. I begin to play, I am pretty good at several instruments, but I can't sing for shit. Johanna is the opposite, she has an amazing singing voice, but can’t play any instrument. I sit and play a tune, mostly just whatever comes to mind. By the smiles of the sleeping girls I am doing a pretty good job. after a couple hours it is right before day break and I gain two skills, wind instrument proficiency and lung capacity, which are both self-explanatory. I begin to look around the room and realize what I originally got up to do, packing. I pick up various items, mostly with weak enchantments and place them in my inventory. Which is brought up the same way anything else is. After completely ransacking my room, I move on to my closet to get cloths. When inside the walk-in closet I start pulling pants, sweaters, socks, underwear, etc. off of hangers and out of doors. There was not a single shirt however, and why would I need a shirt other than the one I’m wearing? After all it is self-cleaning, self-repairing, grows with me, and is incredibly comfortable.

'I really don't want to spend another day here. I miss home.' jack

After sitting in a chair next to my bed for a couple hours playing my flute Lucy wakes up, about 10 minutes before sun up.

"Pretty melody you've got going, jack" Lucy

"Thanks, it took me awhile to be able to do this" jack

"So, should I wake the others?" Lucy

"Nah, let them sleep. I’m going to make breakfast, any requests?" jack

"Biscuits and gravy!" Lucy

I smile a little at her whispered exclamation and head down stairs for the kitchen, passing aunty and uncle's room, where I hear a lot of heavy breathing, grunts, and moans.

'I wish they would at least cast a silencing spell at night, is that too much to ask?' jack

When I enter the kitchen I look though the fridge and find the ingredients for biscuits and gravy and get to work. To my surprise Lucy helps me out.

"When did you learn to cook?" jack

"2nd incarnation? I think. anyway, you'd be surprised at how many necromancers summon a lich just to have a partner, slave, toy, etc. weather due to loneliness or because their a necrophiliac." Lucy

"Not really, I’ve met a couple necromancers in my time, 2 thirds turned out to be necrophiliacs, and 3 of them tried to kill me and turn me into a lich so I would be their slave." jack

"Being a slave doesn’t suite you" Lucy

"Agreed" jack

"By what is your aunt? She’s obviously not human" Lucy

"She’s a Halfling, although she looks young for her age. Probably due to her husband’s influence" jack

"Halfling huh, reminds me of the end of my last incarnation" Lucy

I just smile, ignoring that as she said it under her breath, obviously not intending for it to be heard.

"Now go wake everyone up, tell them breakfast is done" jack

After about ten minutes every one came down stairs, aunty and uncle obviously freshly showered.

"Would it kill you two put up a silence spell at night, I know for a fact the you are capable of it uncle" jack

"Good morning to you to" uncle

"Good morning!" aunty

*sigh*"anyway, come eat. I want to get a head start today" jack

"Alright!" aunty

"It’s been awhile since I talked to my brother in law” uncle

"I miss the old man" jack

"I do too" Johanna

"Anyway, Johanna don't forget to pack up. You don’t want to forget anything" jack

"Alright." Johanna

I leave Johanna pouting and get 4 rings out of my inventory. Rings of regeneration, they increase all of the regeneration values by 1/sec.

"I want you four to have these" jack

"Proposing to all of us? How bold" Selena

"Sorry to dash all of your hopes and dreams but I’m not interested in humans. It’s actually to the point of ED regarding humans." jack

"Then what’s with the rings?" sally

"They are enchanted, figure out the enchantment yourself" jack

"ok, but why give them to us?" Jacobe

"Why not? Anyway hurry and eat so we can leave” jack

"Where are we going?" Joe

"Home, my home." Johanna

"I thought this was your home" Joe

"Nah, it's more like a vacation house" jack

"What, is your family rich or something? Having a vacation house this nice, they've gotta be rich." Jacobe

After eating, which was accompanied by the usual meal time banter, Johanna packed her interdimensional bag, which turned into her inventory.

"So how long is the trip up to the mountain?" Mr. Smith

"Three days on foot, a day if we use a train" jack

"Like a train would be working at a time like this." Joe

"What are you guys talking about? I can get us there in 8 hours." Johanna

"Oh, I forgot about that. You have the wind step ability" jack

"And, due to some of my other skills and titles I can keep it up as long as I don't need to sleep, eat, or use the bathroom." Johanna

"That’s, really impressive. I’m jelly" sally

Ghost comes out of the other room where she was talking to Selena and walks over to aunty, sniffing her. After a minute or two of sniffing her, ghost bends down to put her hand on aunties stomach, smiling.

"Um, ghost? What are you doing?" aunty

"I knew it! You’re pregnant!" ghost

At this everyone was startled. Uncle quickly cast a spell while touching auntie’s stomach.

"It’s true, you are one third of the way through your pregnancy with our son" uncle

"Based on how long pregnancies last for the children of incubi, you have 3 weeks pregnant!" Johanna

"So, a nine week pregnancy?" Joe

"Yup, it means we have to get home soon. And uncle, you're going to want to carry aunty, don’t want anything happening to her." Johanna

"Hey, I’m not fragile!" aunty

"No but your unborn son is" Johanna

She mutters a grumpy 'fine' and uncle picks her up with ease.

"This is the first time I’ve actually carried you, most the time you're carrying me" uncle

"True" aunty

"It’s amazing how fast the incubi/sucubi family grows" Mr. Smith

When he says that I see a tear in the corner of his eye, and not a happy one. I ignore this for now.

"Alright! Let’s go" Johanna

As soon as she says that she uses her wind step ability, and I feel like I can out run a wind god. Although in actuality it wouldn't be a contest. Like a snail racing a human sprinter, no chance of winning. We all start running and after about ten minutes Johanna has to slow down in order for us to keep up with her. Honestly it is an amazing experience, it feels like running on, well, the wind. I don’t even feel the impact on my feet, or the rest of my body for that matter.

"This is the second greatest thing I have ever felt!" Joe

I know what he means, this sensation is addicting. To be able to move this fast with your own body is, is, it's like trying to explain enlightenment to the unenlightened.

After running for about 6 hours everyone starts to get hungry so we stop running. I stop by rolling into a tree, although I don't really get hurt by it because I’m too busy laughing from pure mirth.

"Hey Johanna, what was that thing you did while you were running, it looked like you dissolved into the wind a couple times." Mr. Smith

Leave it to an immortal to notice something I didn't.

"Oh, that was my wind form ability I got for evolving into a nymph. It allows me to concentrate easier, which I diffidently needed at times." Johanna

I pulled out a couple food bars out of my inventory and handed them out.

"How’d you do that?" Joe

"I got ahold of an inventory item and the system gave me an inventory." jack

"I want one too" Joe

After our quick rest stop, which was more for Johanna’s mental endurance than anything, we get back to running. About an hour out I get a message telling that Johanna unlocked the stat mental endurance and got pulse 50 mental endurance.

When we get to the base of the mountain we stop and let the first timers gaze up at our magnificent village that only the truly worthy, meaning those with money, skill, or connections, get to enter.

We start to walk, not run, up the winding trail to the village.

"I love the view on this trail" jack

"It is beautiful" Selena

"I could just sit here and watch the forest for days" Joe

After walking for a couple minutes I start to hear girlish laughter coming from all around us.

"who's laughing?" Jacobe

"Forest sprites, nymphs, dryads, and a couple other creatures native to this forest" jack

"We are cutey" forest nymph

"I’m sorry to disappoint you ladies, but we have to get up to the village.” jack

I notice Jacobe blushing, even though he is standing behind me, due to my extremely high vision stat which is to the point of allowing perfect 350 degree vision, even with my eyes shut, with the other 10 degrees being periphery.

"We could take you there, after all you have helped us in the past" dryad

"I would rather walk and enjoy the beauty of the forest, it's been a while sence I’ve been home" jack

At this the girls starts blushing and giggling.

"Well then, let us accompany you" dryad

I nod and concentrate on where Johanna is and see a bunch of nymphs dancing around her.

"Yay, Johanna’s one of our sisters!" nymph 1

"You’ll have to come have some fun with us latter" nymph 2

"We missed you soooooooo much" nymph 3

"Don’t leave us for so long again" nymph 4

"Don’t worry I’ll come hang out with you girls latter" Johanna

"Yay" nymphs

"You make sure to come along too, jack" nymph 1

"Of course this cutey can come any time he wants" forest sprite

The sprite from earlier gets really close to Jacobe, who's face has gone as red as beet.

We walk up to the village accompanied by the girls, who leave us as soon as we exit the forest.

"Well, well, well. Look who finally showed up" old man

We are greeted at the gate by the old man who took me in after my parents burned in that fire.

"Good to see you, master" Johanna

"Bah, no need to be so formal to this small old man" old man

"Brother!" aunty

As she was saying that she ran to her older brother's arms.

"Are you sick or something? Normally you would jump and tackle me" old man

"Oh, I’m pregnant. Don’t want to hurt the baby" aunty

"So, I’m finally going to be an uncle and you didn't tell me till now?" old man

"I just found out today, apparently ghosty here could tell that I was pregnant" aunty

"Ah, the Lycian right?" old man

"Yup, by the way. How’d you know?" jack

"Oh, it was a combination of her sent and magic" ghost

"Is there anything your bestial magic can't do?" jack

"No, not really. Bestial magic is extremely versatile and can do anything any other branch of magic can do, except for elemental magic’s, except weaker, and with other actions required to use it. It can even do some low level necromancy" Mr. Smith

"That’s actually really impressive" jack

"Who’s that behind you, master?" Johanna

"Meet my new apprentice, Rostwood" old man

"Nice to meet you, I am the old man's previous apprentices" jack

“Certainly not the most obedient” old man

"You’re jack right?" rostwood

"Yes, I am" jack

"I’ve heard stories about you, that you are extremely strong" rostwood

"And they are probably mostly true" jack

"That’s why I want to challenge you to a duel" rostwood

End chapter 28.
