《The Worst》Chapter 16 - The Djinni

Verina's POV
Verina saw Simon enter the house and with a smile invited him inside. Zephir was even more courteous and apologized once more for his wrongdoings, after all someone who could subdue a Diva was an unwanted enemy to him.
"Verina, I will asked you the exact things that you want me to change"
Simon asked her rather seriously.
She hadn't thought of the aspects but three came to mind.
"Loyalty, love and ownership"
She said, she wanted him hers and no one elses.
"I will do so but you should know that It's still experimental so I don't know if it will last forever or if it works inside the games or other virtual applications or the outside world"
He said making her somewhat anxious, she didn't want to make him hate her for life after all but she couldn't tolerate the slaves he had inside the vault.
"It's done"
Suddenly Simon said disrupting her thoughts.
'it only took a few seconds and it is done?'
Verina was somewhat disbelieving but she knew better than doubt him since she didn't want to become a slave just because she offended him slightly.
"Zephir could you Guide us to your Vault?"
Verina asked rather politely, normaly he would refuse her since the items there were too valuable, many of them were provided by Red herself, for his rather questionable services.
"By the way how old are you?"
Simon asked him making Verina also interested after all they knew that he wasn't as young as them.
"I will guide you to the Vault but please don't take any of the Items, they are more precious than you can think"
Zephir said, disregarding Simon's question.
"Zephir you didn't say how old you are"
Verina said somewhat annoyed by his rather rude actions, of course there was now a strange glare of jealousy in Zephir's eyes, it was as if he wanted to have Verina all to himself.
"I'm 62 but I'm sure that there are much older people in the Virtual world than me"
He said, the aging process after all was stoped by the VR capsule so people could live like forever, that was the main reason as to why population was controlled by the system and giving birth was not allowed unless you have special clearance to do so, something that only guardians could get.
Zephir led them to the Vault and Simon's eyes brightened after he saw what lay inside.
If you think that it was the girls that made that happen you are half right, the reason were the collars they wore, Simon's ability had lots to do with analysing data, it could be called a hacking ability through psychic powers, with a few more clearance levels and a little more dying he could probably become the strongest hacker in the whole virtual world.
========================================================================================
Simon's POV
Simon looked surprised at the Vault, the items there were really interesting, you could call them game breaking, there was a sword that did incredible damage that could bypass even the strongest of Kinetic shields, a gauntlet rhat gave telekinetic powers and some other broken items.
He found many interesting Items in Zephir's vault but he didn't want any of them what he needed is to see how they work. The reason for him being able to do that was because he had once recreated his whole body by copying the data of an Npc. The procedure he used to do so was rather impossible for normal humans, the pain he felt as his body was being created was inhumane as well, only his will grasped to sanity and didn't let him die by an unrealistic pain coming from the system.

The reason why he cannot die is because deep inside he knows that all this is fake, his brain even understands that all the things around him are illusions created by the capsule's psychic core. However whoever built the capsules was a fucking genious, as the capsule uses your own mind to feed the illusions it projects making you sleep and see dreams but not exactly dreams, more like synthetic memories. In other words the machine creates memories that the people take as reality, of course if they didn't have psychic powers then there would be too little interferance with the system, years ago before having gained psychic powers people couldn't even recreate something like W6 and now W12 is fully costumizable and people with strong psychic powers can do whatever they like in it, or could if there wasn't the clearance thingie, clearances were a sort of lock set on the system to avoid the collapse of the Virtual world.
They however hadn't expected Simon, his power wasn't really something rare or special there were others with the same power but they weren't as talented as him, they were already awakened and at most they could resist psychic powers to a certain degree but resisting death or creating a field that froze the system was completely beyond their wildest imagination. People with indominable will after all were called trash for a reason.
In reality if Simon wanted to after freezing the system he could make changes to it, but this was impossible before he discovered that he could control the field, by making it smaller he didn't put as much strain to his brain and could even begin editing simple things like colors, hardness, elasticity and other parameters. In his one month with Kaj he had discovered that it wasn't only applicable to items and npcs, he could also use it on people, the system would make them act as per conditions set for them, it was like giving them drugs or hypnotizing them, they themselves don't understand that they are being controlled, the problem was how long it would last and how strong the system was, people like Zephir and Kaj might at some point overide the system and return to normal or just fix it easily if they ever look at their own inner workings.
Simon however laughed as he took the twelve new slaves away, he could even unseal their collars with his own powers if he wanted to, it was simply an on/off thingie, but you normaly needed a high clearance to do just that.
========================================================================================
Homestrike's POV
Homestrike was waiting with Galie outside the dungeon, the three girld were just too frail. The others had already headed ahead they just couldn't bare seeing them die again and again from the same three skeleton warriors, the second time they refused the buffs and even used psychic powers but the damage they did wasn't even close to satisfactory while the skeletons killed them with just one strike, or with multible wind pulses, which looked like ripples in the air that attack the target with 1/10th of their total damage or even creating a short range wind cutter.
-Homestrike, we have cleared the second floor's boss, why don't you just lead them down so that we can once more regroup-
"I don't know they are really diligent, this is the fourty fifth time they are going to fight those skeletons"
-Just kill the fucking skeletons and follow the map I sent you-
Meteorball said somewhat angry, truth was that he had it hard trying to tank monsters by himself, the two of them were the best tanks in the team after all and bosses did offer a little challenge.

Homestrike however disregarded him and dropped the call as he saw the two girls appearing
"Girls, Would you mind if we go to the second floor my friends had a somewhat rough time with the boss there and might need my help with the next one"
He said, trying to apologize and at the same time take them with him to the next floor.
"Do we have to?"
Galie asked Lidie, she really wanted to kill those skeletons and get some payback, but the problem remained the same they were simply too weak. Galie who had been waiting with him didn't even speak to him once and he was too nervous to talk to her himself, but once Lidie appeared she became somewhat more courageous and playful.
"Galie, we don't need to follow them after all there's nothing for us in the lower floors, even this floor is too hard for us, why go lower?"
Homestrike hadn't thought of that, in reality they didn't have any reason at all to go down since killing even one skeleton was rather difficult for them and the equipment from downstairs they probably couldn't even use.
'Why even go on a dungeon raid before reaching level 100?'
This question tortured Homestrike for some time now, meaning these last four Allastar days.
He remembered the third time the three of them died, He had ordered his men to use buffs on them and debuff the enemies to the best of their skill.
After half an hour of struggling and reaching the skeletons to half of their health points and after the debuffs wore off they once again died.
In reality they didn't even have to kill the skeletons themselves since they were in the same group if Homestrike and his group killed them they would still get a 1/10 of the total experience even without fighing, if they had fought it and done even a tiny damage they would gain 50%, while the killer blow gave you 100% of the experience, meaning that everyone in the party gained at least a 10% from each kill done by others. Meteorball had already explained it to them but Lidie and Galie were to obstinate, they wanted to play the game even if it kills them, in a way Homestike understood them, he too would have done the same thing but Meteorstrike and the others didn't come just to see them having fun, they wanted to play the game and loot for treasures.
Suddenly out of nowhere from a purple smoke a Blue girl in a swimming suit appeared, she looked like a high elf but her skin was blue, above her there was a name tag saying "Domina".
Galie and the others were shocked out of all the players who could have becomed a djinni it had to be him or her or whatever that idiot was.
"At last I am free"
The girl said, with a rather anticlimatic female voice.
"Revenge!"
Lidie shouted as she smacked her shield on Domina's face, surprising both Homestrike and Mary at the same time.
"How dare you!"
Domina shouted but after seeing who were in front of her she was shocked beyond belief.
"Wait I think that we can make a deal"
Domina said but Lidie's foot wouldn't wait, a rather comedic scene played out as Domina was running away from Lidie and the others were running behind them.
"Sorry, I'm sorry!"
Domina shouted as she run out of stamina, after all Simon's training in Allastar was rather lacking in time and quality compare to them who had reached a somwhat considerable level.
Mary was now restraining Lidie from killing her Djinni after all she had to grant her a wish.
"Don't think this is over!"
Lidie shouted as she went towards Galie's side for some confort, after all she was the only one who understood her right now.
"So Domina as the rules for Djinnis state you have to grant me a wish among a list you should have"
Mary said waiting for Domina to recollect herself after all Domina gained the best reward from this, she would now have lesser magic regeneration until her djinni buff ends.
If you ask why Simon ran like an idiot it was because his health points were still negative and he couldn't use a single psychic power, not to talk about his nonexistent skills and spells. He didn't even get the Sailor profession because of Kaj's rampage and his level was a round One.
"Could someone fill me up on to what has just happened?"
Homestrike asked somewhat lost, he didn't understand what was happening, but if his prediction was right then Domina was a player Djinni which he didn't really know what it meant since he had never encountered a player Djinni before.
"Okay, let me see"
Domina said as she took out a papyrus and opened it to read the instructions.
"Well you have three wishes, after you are done with the wishes I will be conq..(cough)..traveling the world"
Domina said, but everybody had heard the first word quite nicely.
"Conquer"
Of course Homestrike and Mary simply laughed it off but Galie and Lidie took it more seriously after all they now hated Simon's guts.
"By the way who's the hot guy over there?"
Domina said changing the subject.
"Wait what are the possible wishes?"
Mary asked somewhat nervous and irritated, after all Domina owed her three wishes.
"Who is this beauty anyways and what did she do to earn such bad threatment, steal your boyfriend?"
Homestrike said jokingly, while taking Domina's side.
Well Lidie would have loved saying that he massacred over a hundred people but she didn't care anymore after all she could do nothing about it and she didn't want to mix Homestrike and Mary yet.
"You how are you called?"
Domina asked since Mary had her name hidden, being a stealth player and all, only after attacking her name would be revealed to the others.
"Mary"
She said somewhat puzzled thinking that it had something to do with her wishes.
"You do know that you don't even need a Djinni, just ask Galie over there to call her father, he's a much greater Djinni than I will ever be"
Domina said making them all shocked at the revelation for different reasons each.
Galie was afraid that one of them would try it.
Lidie was shocked for not thinking it before.
Mary didn't think that Galie's dad also played the game. Homestrike didn't understand what was going on but he didn't want to lose face in front of them.
"Will you call him, please?"
Mary asked her, she really wanted to meet him at least once.
"No I'm really mad at him at the moment, I don't want to even see him right now"
Galie stated, but to her surprise that made Domina smile wickedly.
"Mary if you wish to I can summon him for you"
Domina said smilling, normally the Djinni player had to perform three mundane wishes and the remaining power would determine for how long they would remain a djinni, if they could perform some other wish of the caster which didn't need magic to perform it would still be counted as a wish even if she doesn't use any djinni powers and the duration of the lesser magic regeneration could remain for more time.
Mary was about to say something but Lidie shouted.
"Don't, he's really angry when he's interupted from what he's doing, if you interupt him from something important you can kiss your ass goodbye"
Lidie looked really serious at the moment and Galie nodded in agreement.
"Whatever, what other wishes do you offer?"
Mary asked but Domina didn't answer, she even went closer to Homestrike and with a mischievous sexy voice said.
"Please protect me, they will beat me up again"
Homestrike wasn't sure what was happening but Domina was even more sexy than Mary, her proportions were simply Ideal, totally his type.
"Girls why must you bully Domina, I'm sure that we can all be friends"
He said while laying his hand around Domina.
They could see a hint of discomfort from Domina's face but her plan to take Homestrike on her side was a success.
"You probably don't know she is a Guy"
Lidie said laughing as she found it funny, after all Homestrike was evidently trying to hit on them all those past days, otherwise it wouldn't make any reason as to why he stayed behind.
"Well noobs will always be noobs"
Homestrike exhaled heavily.
"You see girls, I'm a person of Allastar, I never leave Allastar, I eat, sleep and even work through Allastar, these copper,silve and gold coins are all I need, If Domina is a man or a woman is Determined by her gender here in Allastar as I only live in this Virtual space"
Homestrike said, for him this world was absolutely real, it was his world.
They could see Domina smirk evily next to him, she was now outside their range, of course although she still had to fulfill three wishes.
"Then how about this, we will give you one of the wishes and you will side with us"
Mary said, she was rather angry with Domina's actions and words, after all she was obliged to perform three wishes for her.
"Wait don't be taken over by them, don't you want us to be friends?"
Domina complained making Homestrike somewhat confused, he just couldn't decide. He was no an idiot he knew perfectly well that Domina was playing him but he also couldn't trust Mary whom he knew for only a few days, he was also somewhat irritated by their prior behavior.
"How about we show you some trust?"
Domina said as she took off her swimsuit top making him gulp heavily, his breath became somewhat chaotic as well, it was eminent that she had won him over for sure.
"Now how about you three?"
Domina asked, but a strange light was seen at the moment in their eyes, it was hate a hatred that came from their self respect as women.
"So Homestrike do you want just to see them from afar or have them in your hands?"
Mary said while showing him the magic lamp, the strange purple bottle.
"Come on you think that you have any power to do that, I can just deny your wish or commit suicide in which case you will lose all your wishes, now that I think about it why didn't I do just that when I was in the bottle"
Domina asked herself, because of all the stress and the things that happened it had entirely escaped Simon's mind that Domina was already considered dead, since her health points were negative.
"See, that's how trustworthy she is, by the way didn't you have to go to your friends or something why don't you ask them if they will let her join?"
Lidie said with an evil smirk.
"Wait, what's she talking about?"
Domina asked, she didn't know that there were others in their party, she could only see the four of them after all and since this was probably the entrance they had probably just arrived or so Simon though.
Homestrike knew exactly what Lidie was talking about if they invited another person they would have to fight the first and second bosses once more to descend, but if by the moment the people in his party had reached the third boss room, it would be impossible for them to help him and they might even have a problem with it, after all they had already lost a few days because of the three girls.
Losing his friends over a girl, was it worth it, well if it was a mutual thing then alright but he could tell that Domina was playing him.
-Lidie,Galie and Mary have left your party-
A message came and the three of them simply departed they had lost too much time with Domina and they had no reason to await for the wishes since she didn't want to grant them anyway.
"whatever, would you mind telling me where north is?"
Domina asked him casually, her breasts almost touching his arm.
Homestrike couldn't hold anymore, he put her down as he himself little by little took off his heavy armor.
Domina was shocked at the moment, she could do nothing but log out since commiting suicide would only lower her health by a huge number once more.
-You cannot log out before granting three wishes or if the master of the lamp is no longer online-
This message was visible only to Domina and made her eyes pop out, if she had just been beaten up it would have been perfect but now she was being raped.
Domina couldn't even resist as Homestrike's strength was too much for her, he begun foddling her breasts and then fingering her pussy. She could only scream as she was being raped slowly but violently.
It was strange as normaly there should have been a system message for protection purposes but she was considered already dead by the system.
She was now taking it in doggy stile, as he was making her moan in excitement, it didn't matter much anymore Domina had already put a tracer on his ID, the next time they meet she will make him pay for this, but now only moans of pain and delight came from her mouth as she took it all in.
Homestrike was a little surprised of course as to why she hadn't logged out or why the system didn't ask him or why they couldn't have a baby but he didn't care, he had to enjoy every single second of what he had.

8 207Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.

It's been awhile since I last made a story, I feel like making a fake journal. A twist on thoughts. Although I say fake, I would say in actuality, real situations I just want to call fictional because life sucks at times.
