《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 33 - Escort Mission
Advertisement
I use Blink Step and arrive at the Guild Hall first. or so I thought until Nina came out of nowhere and kissed me in front of half the Academy's Guild, hey look, there is Michael with Lin, ha, I almost feel sorry for him, however Kate and Eron are right behind me and are also expecting the same treatment around even half the guild... which is around 13 people with levels that vary between 1000 and 999,999,999,999 wait no Kieran now has an extra set of 9's on the end of that. how strong can one man get? I suppose his is immortal however that is just a bit much, he only looks around 18. unless he also just looks young and is actually 80 or something maybe 100. I will ask him one day. maybe he really is just 18 and the level is high mainly because of his masochistically hard training that would kill anyone else who did not have his recovery abilities. anyway I turn around and also Kiss Kate and Eron because their faces demanded it, Michael, Isaac and Kieran start laughing at me for some reason. I turn and see the Guild Master.... Conner.....
"I see you are treating my daughter well" He said with a genuine sincere smile. he is one weird person... I just nod in acknowledgement while he hands me a form to fill out.... scratch that he already knows Nina and Eron's personal information and filled it out alongside mine and Kates. the only thing left to decide was the party name and the Party Leader. they all start writing John's Harem until I rub it out with fire magic.
"please be serious, this name will be stuck with us for the rest of out adventuring career so a good name maybe?" I say and they go into thought. Kate looks up at me with a smile like she had just picked the most purfect name ever.
"The Gamers" Kate said, which may be good. to bad.
"That is my brothers party, try again" I say while waving over to my brother who no doubt heard me. he waved back. Kate then looked at Michael and then went back into thinking mode... who will be next to have a crack at it... Nina looks up this time with an idea.
"Dragon Heart" Nina said with a smile and I liked the sound of it. any better names... going once... going twice... and Eron looks up like she also has an Idea.
"and what is Eron's idea?" I ask and she starts writing John's Harem again... damn it you let me down. "Ok then, we will go with my Idea." I said and the three looked at me curiously. "Nexus" I said simply and they looked confused but liked the sound of it. so we wrote down Nexus, I thought it was a clever name anyway. I hope they don't get it until much later down the line. I could already hear Michael laughing. it is a better way of saying Harem and can be interoperated as group for those who don't know what Harem means, so I can say it without admitting it.

"So what quest first?" Kate asked while writing my name as party leader alongside Eron and Nina... yea why not, I would probably make the best leader anyway. even though Kate asked me which quest, all three were eyeing the dangerous quests. I simply dragged them over to a simple Escort Mission.
"But that looks boring" Nina said while looking at the quest. I looked at the journey on the map and it would take 2 weeks to complete while escorting a Miner with his materials to prevent Bandits attacking. and yes it would be boring, that is the point, it has been non stop hard work and big fights and I would like some time to relax on weaker opponents. however Nina would never accept that as a reason. she was still a high class assassin before she started following me around. so I had a plan.
"looks can be deceiving. the journey will be two weeks long, we will need to work on our teamwork for big quests and there are a lot of potential dangers, I will set back on this one and let you handle it, if things go horribly wrong I will step in and fix things"" I said making my excuse for resting. Nina and Eron nodded, Kate saw straight through me however had to agree on the teamwork part. it also let her miss the first week of lessons so she was in. I took the quest on the board and walked over to the receptionist and handed in the party forms and the quest. the receptionist then accepted the quest.
[Quest: Protect the Carriage]
[Rewards 1,000 xp and 50 coppers]
the reward was 50 coppers however I don't need the cash. I then picked the three girls up with psychokinesis and started running I made it to the destination in record time, it started in the mountains of Nerfalder. yes the dwarven city I sold dragon scales at, I then waited at a cave on the other side of the mountain. Kate looked at me angrily for suddenly lifting her up and running, Eron did not mind and Nina wanted to do it again. *sigh* I walk over to a Miner.
"Are you the miner who made the escort request at the 3 Fists Academy" I asked an he nodded, he was a level 3 dwarf, I just helped him load his carriage then jumped on the back and rested...
[Saving.......the game has been saved]
sweet dreams...
[You have been forced awake]
"John, wake up" Kate said with a smile. I woke up and we were on the carriage looking at a sunset. sure enough from a mountain it looked nice, I smiled from seeing a nice site, Eron was sleeping so I gave up on her seeing it, Nina was invisible however I knew she was looking at the view. it check I used Clairvoyance and yes she was looking at it, while hugging me but still looking at it, I would prefer a sense that can keep better track of her without the Mana cost being so high however she is a high level ninja, I doubt I can just see a ninja without a high Mana cost. after two days there was still no incident, however... I sense 5 people surrounding the carriage, all were level 42-45... ha, It looks like Nina noticed them as she looked in the direction of one before vanishing. sure enough she dealt with them before anyone else noticed. nice job. she came back onto the carriage and looked at me wanting a reward. I ignore her as she was hidden, it could have been anyone.

"John..." Nina said with cute eyes that started to fill with tears, I sighed and then got up and kissed her before laying back down.
[Charm has reached 600, a new skill has been added]
[Eyes Of A Lover: If someone loves you and you love them, you will be able to see them no mater what hides them from your eyes]
wow... from sitting around doing nothing I am still getting powerful moves. I can now see Nina when she is hidden. to bad it only counts for Nina and not all stealth ninja types. still helps I guess.
after 2 more days we can see Nerfalder and wow... it has changed a lot... the small town was now a big city, dragon scales are dangerous... we still have a full day before we reach it. however things cant go wrong that quickly.
"DRAGON!!!" the dwarf shouted. foolish dwarf, that is a wyvern, native to mountains, dragons stick to warmer climate. they are not as dangerous but travel in groups of 2 to 3... yep that is a group of 3. they are also much smaller, around the size of a small house maybe bigger.
[Wyvern]
[Level 30,000]
[Wyvern]
they still feel the pressure of Dragon Slayer Aura however can be beaten normally like most monsters without a Dragon Slayer. they are also stupid. so the girls should be able to handle it... and sure enough, Kate rapid fires Ice Spike, realising although they live in cold temperatures they are still weak to ice and strong against fire. Kate although must have forgotten that dragon wings are near invincible. she hits one in the head killing it instantly and the rest his the wings. oh yea I forgot that. Gamer weakness, If I cut something head of without it loosing all its HP is remains alive, if anyone else does that it instantly kills. annoying isn't it. however I just become strong enough to kill it without worrying about that.
the two remaining wyvern become Enraged Wyvern. multiplying their stats by 10. the two dragons land on the ground and I see Nina skip over to the dragons while humming, she then climbs up a dragon and kills it? oh she was using hiding skills. however they have failed the test. if you see 3 wyverns you don't leave one alive, or it becomes a Mutated Wyvern. much bigger and puts the resistance up of a dragon however the defence is actually lowered. oh yea we have a dragon don't we. Eron walks over to it and transforms into a huge Divine Dragon, the Mutated Wyvern looks at Eron in horror before it is crushed under Eron's foot, I turn and look at the dwarf who now looks pale.
"you see that is a Dragon, the three smaller things were called a Wyvern." I said in a lecturing voice as the poor dwarf must have just noticed what kind of crazy powerful academy he sent that request off to, if you want normal adventurers go to a normal guild. simple.
we got back onto the carriage with a scared little dwarf and rode the rest of the way in peace, we made it in a week, the dwarf said he was expecting it to take longer so we were free to go early.
[Quest Complete]
[Reward: 50 coppers]
[Riding: whatever you ride on can move 15% faster]
I will not bring this up. let the horses feel special. in the mean time I was about to pick up the 3 with psychokinesis however they all at the same time gave me a look that said they wanted to look around the town. I sighed and we walked around, Kate bought some books on fire and ice magic *Cough* I bought it *Cough* anyway Eron wanted a necklace, it was a string with a Blue Mana gem on it, I got it for her as it looked nice on her and boosted Mana regeneration speed. I bought 20 for later if I ever craft some armour I can boost Mana regeneration by a lot. Nina wanted some dwarven chocolate and she enjoyed is so I got a few for later. after our little trip I took us back to the Academy. I was not tired so I spent the night in the library reading a few of the books I have not read yet. I am looking forward to tomorrow as lessons start, where they sit you down and talk about the information I learned in the library. I think I am the only one who can just do that and not need to pay attention to class, however I am not sure. oh well, I will read for now... and so I picked up a book and sat down to begin reading.

How to Save a Star [BxB]
“Do you know that stars die?” I asked, breaking the silence. I didn't know where the question came from, but that's the only thing that came to mind. “Yeah,” he answered. “And some stars we see in the sky may be already dead. But they're so far away that their afterglow can still be seen above. Some of them may seem glowing but they’re truly dead.” We all have a little gallery of photographic memories inside our hearts. An exhibit of things we could never forget through our short moments in time. Some were so good, we held it like they were the best part of our lives while some were things we desperately ran away from - they hunted us, and killed our hopes. The beginning of my life ended on my tenth birthday, the day when my childhood was stolen away from me. I longed to run away from that nightmare that held me tightly in my neck and made me helpless under its grasp. Going to college had become my final chance to run away. On my seventeenth birthday, after enrolling at a university, my life took another shift. I met a man who showed me the glimmer of hope I always wanted to see. And this was our story. A narration of first love, bittersweet and worthwhile. DISCLAIMER: This novella primarily contains gay romance. Read at your own risk.
