《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 36 - Save The Village
Advertisement
I wake up and look around, it looks like Kate and Eron have left the room. Nina probably thinks I cant see her as she is just staring at me with wide eyes looking like she wants to say something. she seems to notice I am looking right back at her. "Nina, would you like to say something?" I asked and she nodded.
"Kate and Eron will be out all day as they left on a quest, can I go to?" Nina asked me while looking at me with begging eyes, I simply nod and she runs over and kisses me before running off to go on a quest. so I will be alone for the day... well I did want to test my new paper powers however library books are protected against magic. so no luck there. maybe I will go and test out Advanced Reading, it is supposed to make me feel relaxed. with that in mind I walk over to the library, I have no rush so why not? as I enter I look at the huge amount of books that I have looked at. oh well, every so often a new book will give a stat point so I continue to read. I decide to go and read my favourite book. it is the book I picked up and learned Dragon Slayer skills from. I pick it up and sit down on one of the chairs around the corner.
after some time I begin to hear mumbling from behind me. I pay closer attention and it is someone in the Dragon Slayer section looking at a book on dragons. I use Hidden and walk behind this person and look over their shoulder. "there has to be a way, I was told this academy was the place to go for slaying dragons but nothing..." This girl said while crying and putting a book back, I exit Hidden and immediately she turns around with a cool looking dagger and slashes me across the neck, the dagger breaks in half with the blade now on the ground.
[Elf Of The Lost]
[Level 14]
[Lilian]
Looking at the broken dagger she cries, it must have been important however realising she just tried to kill me and failed miserably she has a mixed look of fear and sadness. I take the broken knife from her hand. "If this knife is so important to you let me fix it." I said while using Mana Repair, Holy crap that was half my Mana gone from one action. what the hell is this knife?
[Dagger Of The Pathfinder: This dagger was forged to help Lilian find someone or something that can help save her village from a Dark Dragon]
Oh, she would be desperate, a Dark Dragon can only be killed by a Dragon Slayer, they have an annoying trait to get stronger the more a normal person attacks them. they are masters of illusion and hiding. "Lilian, It looks like you need my help to save your village" I said with a smile, when I said that she calmed down, I then used Blink Step to bring her to a seat to sit down on, I have to say now that I look she is one beautiful elf. she has long silver hair that reaches her waist. her face is innocent, she is around my hight, her eyes are glowing blue and gentle and her clothes look to be made of green leather and leaves, she has a sleeveless top on that reveals a lot of her huge breasts. her top stretches down and connects to a mini skirt that is made of leaves, covering her privet parts however only reaching mid thigh. all in all she is the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on. however she does not look to be affected by my charm skill, using observe I can see 3 major things. she is the same age as me to the day. she has very high Intelligence and Wisdom, both at 603 and she has a skill in alchemy, potions and enchanting.

"So care to explain how you pissed of a Dark Dragon, unlike normal dragons they don't attack people and would rather sleep all day. how did you get in this situation?" I said simply and to this she looked sad and off to one side.
"We didn't do anything, one day an adventurer came to our village and took the dragons egg for 'research' and then left, after that the dragon went on a rampage, we tried to calm it down however it is now moving slowly over to my village, it is slow however will reach my village soon. now I am in search of a way to stop a dragon since I cant find a Dragon Slayer" Lilian said to me and then started crying like she had given up. right when she found one. this is just funny to watch.
"I am the dragon slayer John Richardson" I said simply and she then got down onto the floor in a begging position head to the floor.
"Please help us. I have nothing to offer you however we need your help or I fear what will happen to my village" Lilian said to me while crying, now I just feel sorry for her, I use psychokinesis to left her from the ground and then smile while placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will help you, just lead the way" I said and she smiled and hugged me.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you" Lilian said quickly with a smile hugging me tighter and tighter.
[Charm has reached 700, a new skill has been added]
[Attraction: Now even the simplest of actions will be seen and taken to heart by those who harbour feelings for you. Major actions have more extreme affects]
interesting... I hope that is not implying what I think that is... Her face goes red realising what she is doing and then she lets go smiling all the same. "So lead the way" I said with a smile pointing at a map. she walks over and points to a forest in the middle of nowhere. basically a 7 minuet walk. I smile and pick her up and put her in the princess carry, If I gave her a piggyback ride her huge breasts would be pressed up against me and I would not be able to concentrate, psychokinesis is also out as I discovered from Kate that being carried like that is mean. she is not complaining however her face is red. I just start walking. sure enough she looks around terrified for a moment before I slow down a bit to make her relax. she looks around and we are moving very quickly so nothing stays in sight for to long. we come up to a cliff which is right above a small elven village. I put her down and look at her. "Is that your village" I say with a smile and she nods. me not wanting to go the long way around pick her up back in the princess carry and jump. we start falling however I slow us down with psychokinesis and then we land safe and sound.
"Here we are, so how far out is the Dark Dragon?" I asked with a smile and she pointed over at the distance and sure enough there was a Dark Dragon... how did I not notice that? oh well, at its walking speed it should reach the village in two days. their Dexterity stat is its lowest, at a horrible 8. however its breath is a beam of black plasma so don't doubt its strength.

[Angry Dark Dragon Rare Variant]
[Level 4000]
[Dark Dragon]
I cant kill that, it is a rare dragon only angry because its egg was stolen, it has every right to be angry, I will reason with it later. I cant go over to it now as it is in Angry mode however it should calm down before it reaches the village. worst case scenario I kill it so no worries. I turn to Lilian and smile. "I can deal with that dragon, I hope peacefully as it is attacking with a major reason however it is to angry at the moment, I will talk to it tomorrow, is there anywhere I can stay near by?" I asked with a smile. Lilian nods with a proud smile.
"You can stay in my home" Lilian said, then her face goes red for some reason. "please don't treat me to badly" Lilian said with a scared voice. I am slightly concerned as to why she thinks I would do anything however I can take a guess that it is because of the bad relationship between humans and elves of late. as I walk through the village I get angry looks from the people of the village. what do they think I would do? I have some morals you know. I don't just rape hot elf girls... I have thought about it but I don't just do it... "Here we are" Lilian said when we reached a tree house on the edge of the village. we enter and it contains a bed, a bath, a toilet, a kitchen and a few chairs. all in the same room. there is no privacy here... I see why she went red. "f..feel free to make yourself at home, but before we continue can you prove you are a dragon slayer?" Lilian said looking at me with a mixture or red in the face, curious and fear.
[Aura: Dragon Slayer]
"Yes, I can" I said with a smile as my aura exploded around me. Lilian looked revealed, but then was shaking before she started getting undressed. "Wait, why are you undressing" I asked while turning around to respect privacy. she then tilted her head curiously
"Isn't this how humans normally ask for payment?" She said and I looked at her curiously, we ask them to get undressed? isn't that a little much? "most humans that came before you.... forcefully made love to our ancestors...." Lilian said sadly before she continued undressing. I then used psychokinesis to stop her and put her clothes back on. she looked at me curiously. I am going to hate myself later for missing this chance.
"I am sorry. I am not the type of human to do that, the ones that did that were heartless and cruel. that is not how you treat a beautiful woman such as yourself..." I said that much before going a little red... we both had a charm stat... mine was higher. hers was only 170. "a...Anyway I am fine without any type of payment, I cam here to help someone who needed help, not cause more problems" I said with a smile before walking out of her tree house... when I say tree house I mean a house carved out of a tree. as I was leaving Lilian stopped me with worried eyes. does she think I am leaving? "I am only going to check on the dragon. don't worry, I don't need much sleep" I said reassuringly before walking off in the direction of the dragon. the poor dragon was still enraged and was trampling all trees in its path. I could feel her anger, it was a mother searching of her child. oh well, while I have the time I pulled some books from my inventory. these were my porn magazines from back before I had a charm stat. I used water magic to clean it into white paper. sure enough I made a Paper Sword. I started to swing it around and it felt more like a steel sword. if I work on it I can get it stronger. I turn off the skill and sure enough all the pages return to the blank magazine. I then throw it into my inventory. I should have known something would go wrong. the dragon is charging an attack. well it wont attack me as it thinks the elves did it and there is no elf in sight.
"John?" Lilian called for me from behind. I should have known. the Dark Dragon uses dark plasma bolt and it is aimed at Lilian. he is over a day and a half away and he can still attack, I need to be on guard. I jumped up and caught the blast in my hand while standing right in front of Lilian. it did no damage. Plasma is still heat based. even if it is dark. such as scalding water may be water however it is still heat so it wouldn't affect me. Lilian looks at me in awe. however I don't have much time to stand around. I dash over to the dragon
The dragon looks scared of me. "Easy there. I mean you no harm, I am only here to protect that village" I said in Dragon Tongue and sure enough the Dark Dragon stopped and looked at me with anger.
"They stole my egg. I will kill them and it is not against the treaty as they started it" the Dark Dragon said to me. the treaty she speaks of was made to prevent people being killed by dragons and to prevent Dragons Slayers killing dragons. it was a win win situation. we don't bother them they don't bother us. Dragon Slayers are brought in to kill either primal dragons or dragons who break the treaty. Primal like most the dragons on the Dragon Continent as they don't have a conscious mind and are dangers to other dragons and humans. and ones that break the treaty like this dragon will be if she kills those elves.
"They did not take your egg, it was an adventurer not that village." I said while still using all my Mana to calm down this Dark Dragon. "If I am able to I will find your egg and bring the thief to justice however if you attack that village I will be forced to kill you, leaving you child without a mother." I said reasonably and the Dark Dragon had to accept. she was wise enough to know in a fight she would die.
"Then Dragon Slayer tell me this, how will you get my egg back?" She asked and with such a simple question I was at a loss, until I had an Idea. I walked over to the dragon and put her to sleep with Advanced Sleep Wave, when she hit the ground she hit it hard creating a few cracks. she was around 40 stories tall and 120 stories in length. she was thin however her shape was not one designed to move fast, it was to move quietly. oh well. with her asleep I can begin looking. I run back to Lilian who is standing in the crater made by the explosion from the Dark Plasma Bolt, well, she is in a small portion that was spared because it was behind me. she must be a little shaken up.
"Are you ok? I took care of the dragon problem but I need to find her egg, do you know where it could be and who took it?" I asked simply and she nodded her head. she got out a map and pointed to a dwarven city... named Nerfalder... I feel like this city will be stuck with me for the rest of my adventure however I am not sure why. "Can you come with me and help me and point out the one responsible for breaking the Dragon Treaty?" I asked and she looked at me for a moment before nodding. what is wrong? was it something I said? oh well I pick her up and put her in a princess carry and then activate Dragon Wings and fly over to Nerfalder and sure enough from this high up the sunset is beautiful, not as beautiful as the elf I am holding for obvious reasons however she is looking at the sunset to, and something makes me feel like I am missing something right under my noes however I don't know what so maybe I need more wisdom and Intelligence. I mean they are both at 390 so I don't know why however I need more of it.
"There is out destination" I said while pointing to the city in front of us. and a few seconds later I landed inside the city causing a few dwarfs to jump from shock. I wonder why? oh well, I walk around with Lilian who was holding my hand leading me through the city to the Mages Guild, sure enough we enter and there it is, I can tell by using observe that it is the egg that was stolen as it says stolen from a Dark Dragon in the description. I walkover to it and a mage walks up to me.
"Can I help you sir? that is a priceless dragon egg and it is not for sale so if that is what you are after leave now" said the Mage who really should mind his own business. I turn to him with a calm expression.
"Sorry, I did not know the Mage's Guild would hold onto goods that breaks the Dragon Treaty, this was stolen from a Dark Dragon and I am taking it back, if you try and stop me I will kill you, now tell me, who brought this egg into your guild?" I said with a clam expression and he looked at me with a glint of rage in his eye.
"You do not have the authority to do that" The mage said, I looked at his name tag.
[Arc Mage of Nerfalder]
[Level 12,000]
[Borgot Jintos]
"Yes I do, I am a Dragon Slayer, In this situation I have the authority to kill anyone in my way to get the egg back" I said with a smile letting my aura collide against his and it sent him flying against the wall. I smiled and asked again. "So who brought this egg into your guild?" to this he looked furious but pointed at a Mage who was now running, and now he was running in the air on his way back to me as I lifted him with Psychokinesis. I held him in front of me and looked at him eye to eye. "Hello, you and I have a dragon to visit, I think you know her, she is a big angry Dark Dragon and wants to say hi" I said with a smile, I walked over to the Dark Dragon Egg and lifted it with Psychokinesis, with that I walked out of the Mages Guild and used Dragon Wings. crushing all doubts for the Arc Mage that I was a fake. I then took Lilian and flew off. that was simple, I returned to the Dark Dragon who was waking up, she looked at me and smiled.
"I see you kept your promise Dragon Slayer, for this I am eternally thankful" The Dark Dragon said to me and took her egg back and that thief. she then started walking back to her nest, wherever it is. I then took Lilian to her home and smiled.
[Quest Complete]
[Rewards: Close Intimacy with Lilian and the Elven Race]
well I assumed it would be something like that. Lilian looked like she had something more to say so I sat down in front of her and let her speak. "tThank you John, as I said earlier... the village does not have anything they can offer you as a reward..." Lilian said with a stutter, I just smiled at a job well done, "...h...however... I do have something I could give you..." Lilian said with a gentle mutter and her face went red... this is happening right now isn't it?
[Charm has reached 800, a new skill has been added]
[Heart Bolt: this takes your Mana and focuses it into a heart shaped bolt and fires it, damage depends on skill level and Charm]
yep that confirms it, "and what would that be?" I ask with a smile and she blushes even more before walking over to me and kissing me... DO I HEAR 5? I have 5 dragon scales on it being a very powerful clumsy hot chick with a lot of power but to clumsy to use it right. anyone care to take me up on this bet? *sigh* anyway, now I have an elf that can make Potions and Enchant and use Alchemy.
"that was my first kiss, and by it I am bound to you for eternity" Lilian said while blushing and looking at me smiling.
[Lilian has now been added as a pet/slave]
why? just why? Eron I understand, she was a dragon so she is stuck as a pet/slave however Lilian? "Now that is something you will need to talk to the others about" I said simply, I still don't know how they decide it but whatever. Lilian just looked at me confused.
"Isn't it normal for a male to have more then one lover? what is the problem?" Lilian said with a smile... I did not know that was how elves did things however their population is slightly low so I understand why. she acompanied me back to the academy and as soon as I entered my room Nina came over and looked at Lilian.
"cool, now you have an elf" Nina said with an honest smile. behind her were the two others, Eron was sleeping on the couch and did not mind, Kate just face palmed somewhat expecting this. Lilian then walked over to Eron who was sleeping and started petting her. at least they get along. Nina walked over to me also wanting to be petted after watching Eron and Lilian. sure enough I petted her and she liked it. Kate just walked over to me.
"How many more do you plan on getting?" Kate asked with a smile that hurt my pride. she knew full well I had no control over it however she continued to make the question. before I could respond she spoke first, "Just make sure I don't get lost in a crowd" Kate said with a slightly sad smile, I kissed her and she immediately perked up.
"Don't worry, I wont ever loose you" I said with a smile and she went red before walking to talk with Lilian... they seamed to want to talk about why she fell for me and her response surprised me.
"When we first met he came out of nowhere and I tried to slash his throat with a knife by accident" Lilian said while remembering the events, Eron then gave her an glare and she continued, "the knife broke on impact of his skin, broke in half and I was just shocked, I didn't think him human. after that he realised the knife was important and just fixed it, It took 5 Elven Master Alchemists to make that knife with materials of the rarest quality that could track down what I needed. and he just fixed it like it was nothing" Lilian said. I kicked myself, so THAT was why it cost so much to repair. I thought it had to be something because that was a high cost."after that I brought him to the village and instead of killing the Dark Dragon he wanted to reason with it, so he asked for a place to stay while it calmed down. I took him to my house and started undressing" lilian said and with this Kate, Eron and Nina shot her a glare. "He turned down the offer" She added and then Kate, Eron and Nina turned to me like I was an Idiot, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS! "After that he explained that a woman as beautiful as me should not be treated like that. unlike how previous humans had acted. he was kind and polite and honourable" Lilian said with a smile, Kate nodded in agreement. "after that he went over to keep an eye on the Dark Dragon, as soon as it saw me it shot an attack at me, I thought I was going to die and fell back, however John blocked the attack with one hand like it was nothing, he saved me and even though the dragon had went on a rampage through the forest John moved on to save the dragon. he is kind charming but most of all he is strong" Lilian finished and I could only look at her with admiration, they are all perfectly normal reasons to fall for someone, what is my charm skill even doing? making it easier for people to confess or something?
I then was about to walk over to the library to give some time for Lilian to adjust to the new bed without me to make her feel awkward or embarrassed however 4 hands grabbed onto me, "John, maybe you should join us, also feel free to activate your Lovers Aura" Nina said with a smile. while dragging me, Kate and Eron went red and Lilian was confused.
"Hold It" I said seriously, I am not someone who would hide anything, "Lilian does not know how my ability works yet," I said while placing my hand on her head, I used Information Transfer which I used to help Hate understand about my abilities and gaming was. she then jumped back scared before regaining her composure.
"Sorry, I did not jump back to be mean, I just did not realise how strong you were" Lilian said while hugging me from behind, her breasts squeezing against me back. "And as Nina said, feel free to use Lovers Aura" Lilian added while whispering into my ear squeezing her breasts even more into my back as she held me tighter. your wish is my command.
[Aura: Lovers Aura]
As soon as I did that I was taken onto the bed and then... I used Advanced Sleep Wave. Damn it, I am only 17, give me a break and wait till I am older at least, that or move to the eastern continent where it is not against the law to do it while you are younger then 18. damn it I hate myself sometimes. it is still not bad having 4 sexy girls sleeping with you in the same bed. however I will still need to work on one thing before I do it, stamina. I have not eaten much recently besides a few sandwiches, stamina is only at 183 and with 4 girls with such high power I don't think I could last... and with that I am sucked into the void that is sleep.....
[Saving........the game has been saved]
.....h......
I wake up and look around, I thought I heard something while I was being pulled back into consciousness... hmm, maybe... that or the constant black void made me hear things. oh well, I look around and all four girls are getting ready to go out somewhere, I walk over to them and ask, "Where are you going, did something come up?" I asked and they all turned to me with a disappointed expression, oh come on, did you think I wanted to, It hurt me so much to do that I thought I would loose HP. however disappointed they were Eron answered.
"It is nothing Master, we are going off on a quest to build our teamwork, you can have fun reading in the library Master" Eron said simply as she continued looking around for something, I pulled some of their stuff from my inventory and they all remembered when we went to the Academy Tournament they put a bunch of things in my inventory for easier travel however they forgot to take it back out again. I kiss them goodbye and they walk off to start a quest, I on the other hand have Paper Powers to test and grind
