《Galaxy hunter Online》 Chapter 1: Game Launch The order finally came in, and I opened the large box and began setting up the machine. It was the latest and greatest of the Gabin Corporation. The hype for this game was one that I couldn''t even begin to design. As a streamer, I couldn''t help but hope for the best. As a professional gamer, I was hoping that this was the game that would take off the most. The game was called Galaxy Online. It was a simple science fiction game in most cases, but the world was anything but simple when they advertised it. Advertisements were all people got, and their competitors made games to release around the same time. I looked into them, though, and I was betting on Gabin''s constant success. Whereas other game companies are released on a schedule by management. Gabin corporation was run by a gamer that didn''t believe in early access when you were a leading corporation. The only game that ever released that flopped was over a decade ago, and the apologies they sent out afterward was one that shocked the customers. They completely refunded every purchase and publicly apologized for advertisements for a month on the travesty of a game that Duelist Academy was. After that, they released games twice that were almost perfect and reinstated their name. After fifty years and only having one flop was something I was willing to bet on. So were many others and the Gabin Corporation even put out a statement that disallowed beta testers and alpha testers from talking or playing for a month. From what I heard on forums and the few that talked about the contracts. They were paid a lot to keep their mouths shut. What I did get from the advertisements was that the game world would be massive, the likes of which had never been seen, and I was buzzing in anticipation. There would be both magic and gunfighting. Crafting could even be included in certain classes with full customization and inventions built in. Not much was being heard, but one of the things that the Gabin Corporation got into while building this game was Power plants. One of the rumors was that they created their own powerplants for the computer power needed to run the servers running. That was frightening if it was true, and I finished setting up my pod while I stoked myself up even more for this game. There were still another couple of hours before launch, and I couldn''t contain my excitement. I stood up and looked around my bedroom with the new pod taking up one of my walls. As a professional female gamer, I did something to make men pay for my flat. I wasn''t going to lie to myself and say it wasn''t shameless, but I did sleeping streams. I looked at my setup and knew when I would go to bed with all the cameras around my bed so that my pervy customers could watch me sleep. I often would switch up what I wore to bed, and I had a whole other bedroom just for outfits to wear to bed. I stretched and left my bedroom with a pod in the bare corner. I had to step out into the hallway. I lived in a small two-bedroom flat with a living room and a nice kitchen fairly high in an apartment building in Ontario, Canada. I stepped into my kitchen and began preparing some food. I wanted to ensure I had all the sustenance I needed while in the pod. I grabbed a banana and swallowed it whole without thought, as it was something my brother got me in the habit of doing when I was a kid. Fucking pervert I learned that he was when I got older, but the habit remained, and my gag reflex didn''t survive. My last ex loved that fact but didn''t love the extra bit I had downstairs. Moving on from the banana that was now in my stomach, I grabbed some cup noodles and turned on the kettle before making myself some nice tea. Suddenly I heard my phone, and I got up. I returned to my bedroom, found my phone by my keyboard, and picked up the phone. ¡°Honey, you haven''t called all week!¡± I heard my mother complain a second later and wanted to sigh. ¡°You''re right; I haven''t,¡± I replied, dutifully admitting my supposed wrong. ¡°Honey, Your father and I are coming into some money issues,¡± My mother prompted, and I rolled my eyes. As the most successful daughter, I should bow down to my parents, is what they thought, and I couldn''t help the scoff. ¡°How much this time?¡± I asked, my tone a bit short. ¡°You two already have a good amount of money. What do you need for this time?¡± I asked. ¡°Honey,¡± my mother said tartly, ¡°I am your mother, and you will not talk to me that way!¡± If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. My mother commanded it, and so in her world, it was so. ¡°Mom,¡± I said slowly in a drawl, ¡°I have yet to make that money, and I still have my own living expenses. So no. Curb your spending,¡± I finished and hung up. I sighed, and I decided to look at my bank account. I was paid up for the month and most of my living expenses at this point. My parents wanted me to bail them out because I was low on funds. They had my perverted brother that could bail them out this time. I opened up my bank notice and frowned, thinking about the perverts that watched me sleep. I quickly turned onto the site I used for sleep casting and posted a poll for them all to play with. They had to pay to vote, and the options were some of my most scantily clad options. They were almost naked, and those boys thought that this was probably the time I would be exposed. These usually got me enough money to pay the rent and hopefully some food. I hated doing them, but there was one thing I knew about being a woman with a body like mine. Perverts dreamed of being with me. Too bad my boyfriends and girlfriends in the past were fucking dumbfucks. I shook my head, not wanting to think about my poor dating choices in the past. I finished putting up the poll and a post about playing Galaxy Online, but I would check what they all wanted me to sleep in once I was done later tonight. I sighed and sat back, hearing the kettle click. I got up and walked into my kitchen and filled my noodles, and headed back to my computer with a spork to eat it with. I pulled up some books that I read once in a while and wished for the sleep feature of games. It would probably bankrupt me if it was added to games and destroyed relationships. When would you have sex if you could sleep in the game? Have sex, then go game for a bit with the afterglow? That wouldn''t happen too many men, and women I knew got sleepy, and it would be gross if they did that. Sure they could clean up first, but. My thoughts trailed off as I got a bunch of messages from my sleep viewers, and I read some of them, and the little nightie that was almost see-through enough to see my double d breasts was a favorite to start. My bum also looked great, and I knew it. Instead of reading these messages, I got up to shower instead. I headed into the bathroom and got in the shower. I washed slowly, knowing I had a bit more time then I remembered my noodles. I quickly picked up my pace, finished washing, and dried myself off while looking in the mirror. When I smiled, I saw my fiery natural red hair and cute looks with perfect dimples. I loved my large Double D breasts that brought home the money for me. Without these, I bet I would have a lot fewer people watching me as I slept. I saw the top of my slightly toned stomach that I had to do nothing for. For some reason, I could eat as much as I wanted with my metabolism and not get fat. My perverted brother was the same, and I could easily eat an extra large pizza in one sitting and cutely burp afterward. Then there was the cock hanging between my legs just above my pussy. I had two balls that I knew were a regular size or at least only a little larger than my previous boyfriends. I was four inches flaccid and a whopping nine or ten inches long hard. I sighed thinking about it, and I left the bathroom and sat at my computer naked, eating noodles while thinking about my cock size. The girlfriends I had in the past loved it. My boyfriends were either intimidated or loved it. There was no in-between, and I felt some obsessed over it while the perverts who watched me sleep loved that I was a futanari. It was that forbidden fruit or something that got them all hard or something, and I had gotten morning wood on occasion. I had to be careful with some pieces, although I would be lying if I didn''t allow it to ¡®slip¡¯ out once in a while to keep the perverts looking for more. I sighed while eating my noodles and waited for the launch time. Soon they would open character creation, and I would get my first taste of Galaxy online I couldn''t wait. I quickly slurped up my noodles and checked the time, and I decided that if I was going to wait these last minutes, I should check out the pod¡¯s interior. I got up and opened it up, and remembered to dry myself off one more time quickly. The pod needed you naked completely to simulate you perfectly the first time, and it made it mandatory the first time by saying it was to help people cope with the world around them inside virtual reality. I quickly got myself ready and opened up the pod, and laid down in it. I pressed the button inside, and the pod closed I felt my eyes want to close as I felt the pod tighten around me and the world quickly turned white. ¡ª- Welcome to Galaxy Online. Launch time for Character creation:00 hours 07 minutes. Time to game launch: 01 hours 07 minutes ¡ª I felt myself smile, and I waited, feeling like I was floating in nothingness when a new notification popped up in the white void. ¡ª Would you like to set up your account with Gabin Corporation and link this pod to you? ¡ª There was a yes and a no button, and I quickly thought yes, and the notification changed. ¡ª Scanning¡­ ¡ª I watched the loading bar and realized I had to wait anyway, so this wasn''t a big deal. The scanning process took five minutes before it finished, and I was glad I jumped in early for it. ¡ª Scanning complete. Body profile updated and stored. Would you like to place a name for your account? ¡ª I confirmed and put my professional gamer name in. Sleepy Wonder. ¡ª Confirm name: Sleepy Wonder? ¡ª I confirmed it, and it accepted the username. I sighed and wondered if I should have changed it. I decided against it yet again as I used my professional gamer name to attract more perverts to watch me sleep and donate to whatever I sleep in. If I had a choice in the matter, I would love the latex suit. It wasn''t that I got turned on by it, but I loved the feeling of being hugged all over by the latex, and it was oddly comforting. My stray thoughts ended when the countdown ended, and I grinned, or at least thought I grinned, when a notification popped up. ¡ª- Character Creation launched. Would you like to create your character before launch? ¡ª- I quickly thought yes, and the world around me changed. Chapter 2: Character Creation The character creation page came up, and I smiled only for a minute before I froze, looking at the list of species you could choose from. With each species, there was an actual detailed description of what they were good at. It was massive, and I realized why they gave us an hour to choose. That still wasn''t enough time, and I began to think that jumping right into the game without properly creating your character was a trap. On the screen it allowed us to create with, there was a large warning sign. ¡ª All characters are Final, with few exceptions. Our servers simply cannot hold multiple characters and delete and recreate characters without them becoming unprofitable. ¡ª It was simple and straight to the point. Whether they were lying didn''t matter; I appreciated the candor and the reason for it. Again it might be a lie, but they came out and told you while creating your character, it was a final decision, and I started to look into the races. Incubus, and Succubus Beholder, were all fantasy characters, and I couldn''t help but wonder about the story of this game to hold fantasy characters. Still, there were classes associated with the races, and most of them were supports. No way I could play a pure support character, and I looked down the list to find gnomes, dwarves, and many other races that seemed to be old fantasy tropes. Then you got to species I had never heard of and classes that specialized in modern weaponry, and I couldn''t help but want to do something with guns. I was a specialist in the last game I played with an insane aim, and I didn''t know if this game would transfer over. After searching for thirty minutes, I went down the list and smiled when I found the race I wanted. ¡ª The Rish¡¯an Locktor. They were a species that was almost considered extinct when the Lintor species discovered their home planet. The Rish¡¯an Locktor, more commonly known as the Rish, is a species that loves weaponry and engineering. They advanced quickly, and after a large war, they almost rendered themselves extinct long before the Lintor found them. That war sent their technology back thousands of years, and the Rish learned a hunting culture for criminals and made natural bounty hunters and engineers. They lived with gun engineering and weapons from a child, and there was no Rish that didn''t have a gun after the age of five. When the Lintor discovered them, they wanted to add their engineering prowess to their empire at the time and sought to enslave them. A war broke out, and the Rish eventually lost due to the Lintors technology. The Rish had stolen a spaceship and reverse-engineered it, and a large population of Rish escaped into the greater Galaxy and learned that their species is highly compatible with other species and can interbreed with most species, including many arachnids. Few other species can exceed their ability to breed with other species, and few can also match it. Bonus to any use of Firearms and engineering related to guns. ¡ª I selected the race and received a warning prompt. ¡ª Due to the high bonus ability, the Rish has a harder starting mission which may tie you up in the initial tutorial stages, making you late to join the rest of Galaxy online. Do you still wish to choose this species? Note: You may only change out of this race once due to the high difficulty once you have started. If you do, you will lose the ability to choose high-difficulty species and may only choose Lesser races. However, everything is balanced with these things in mind in the late game. ¡ª I couldn''t help but smile, and I took the risk. The Gaben Corporation seemed to know how to hook the hardcore gamers into picking harder classes. I selected that I understood and wanted to play the character, and a mirror of a woman appeared before me. I looked at my voluptuous breasts and cute nipples, tiny yet inverted nipples that were sensitive to the touch of my body, and I looked over my character to see any differences from the real me. I found them quickly with two triangular ears at the top of my head, and I saw the twitch in a full range of movement that made me gasp as they could literally turn around to hear better from behind. The eyes were a little wider than my own, and the pupils could look more to the side, giving more range of vision. My cock hung below in plain sight, and I turned to notice a tail behind me that was a bit thick. I couldn''t help but think, Could I try the character on? Instantly my body moved, and soon I felt the extra limbs, and my curiosity won as I reached up to my triangle ears touching the fluffy small ears lightly. I almost cried out as both my fingers and ears were sensitive, and I looked down at my nimble fingers, which were smaller than my own. I hadn''t realized it till now and couldn''t help but like it. ¡°Wow,¡± I said audibly, and my voice came out a little higher than I was used to. My body was a rocking body, though, and I knew that I would be a fan favorite in this body. At the least, it would help my voting in the sleepwear business, and I couldn''t help but think about ordering an outfit to match this. Then I remembered that I had a tail, and it took a moment, but I could feel it behind me moving slowly, and it easily reached my hand. It seemed impossibly longer than I was used to, and I wish I could ask more questions about my body. Still, I tried to move it a bit, and I realized that a tail that was strong like this one would be useful in reloading magazines if it was manual in this game. I felt excited and brought myself up into a gun position, and I instantly fell in love with this body. I felt nimble, yet my fingers were way more sensitive, and I wondered what masturbating with these hands would feel like on my hard cock. I shook my head, continued moving and running in this body for a moment, and nodded. Still, I would like to make the tail a little longer. Suddenly my tail for a little longer, and I grinned and wished for my hair to turn black and all my hair and the fur on my tail to turn black. My grin didn''t disappear before I thought I wanted it red, and my fur turned red instead of black. I couldn''t help but think red would look better and, so I kept myself a redhead then approved my character. ¡ª- This will be your character forever, and only cosmetic changes can be made in the future through stores in-game. Is this your final choice? ¡ª I accepted, and the screen in front of me changed, showing me now in a light garb with a series of classes and descriptions. I frowned, realized the list included all classes and began to look them over. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. This time there was another warning on the classes in large bold letters you were forced to look at. ¡ª Classes are final choices with few exceptions. The difficulty rating is serious, and we are not joking about how difficult those classes are to play. If it says five out of five stars, it is a powerful class but extremely difficult to play and only for the people that are hardcore players looking for extreme challenges. PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS! ¡ª- I wanted to chuckle at the note as I knew there probably would be players who ignored it, and the Gabin Corporation was covering themselves with this warning. ¡ª Mage: Conjurer of mana using the mystic arts to destroy your rivals in magic combat. Mages use their superior intellect to destroy foes and create new spells to kill more. Difficult class with many different subclasses and choices to choose from. Difficulty 5/5 stars ¡ª ¡ª Medic: A support class that is essential to most groups. Combat medics and Medics can fall under a unique area in the combat role, and many rules protect them in large-scale engagements in galactic wars. This class is difficult, and primaries help your teammates in combat with unique bonuses to help in that regard. Difficulty 3/5 Stars ¡ª I quickly continued down, looking at descriptions even as my time ran out to be one of the first in the world. I wouldn''t sacrifice my permanent class and character just to run into the game world where decisions seemed to matter so much. I started to find classes that I liked, and I knew that most of the mage ones were already out of my mind. If I wanted a mage class, I would have chosen a race that specialized in that. I found a number of classes, though, that fit my play style. ¡ª Sniper: Gods of death on individuals and people of importance on the battlefield. Feared and revered if they were skilled and mocked if they were not. This class is a pinpoint accurate build where one bullet can change everything. With proper planning and aim, you can change a losing battle into a winning one. Difficulty 5/5 stars ¡ª ¡ª Assault Specialist: A soldier through and through. The cover is a weapon to be utilized, as is the gun propped against your shoulder. You run through the battlefield as the main combatant and are deadly with your instruments of choice. Great at urban combat and one of the best team players. Difficulty 3/5 Stars ¡ª ¡ª Reapers: This is a rare class of close-range gun combat specialists. Either using submachine guns or shotguns, they excel at close-range combat to a fault. Urban combat indoors and forests where line of sight is broken often is where they reap through enemy lines as if they are nothing ducking from cover to cover, quickly killing enemies the closer thy are to the enemies. Difficulty 4/5 Stars ¡ª The class that attracted me the most was one that was very vague in the description, though, and I looked at it closely torn as I like these four classes the most. ¡ª Gun Specialist: A specialist in the world of guns, and they are the reapers of your art of death. You create and kill as two sides of the same coin. You create your trade tools from scratch, making it an art. Restricted Class to Rish¡¯an Locktor. Difficulty 5/5 Stars ¡ª It was so vague, and I had no idea there were class restrictions. The Rish¡¯an Locktor didn''t have any specialties in mana manipulation, but all those classes were allowed on my character. So that meant there was probably a story with it and my curiosity got the best of me. I loved a challenge, so I selected Gun Specialist. I took a deep breath, and I knew I was taking a huge risk with it when the notification came up. ¡ª Are you sure you want to select this class? You are already going through the Difficult Race tutorial; adding in a 5-Star Difficulty class will increase the difficulty of the tutorial mission. ¡ª Before I could back out, I hit accept, feeling anticipation. A moment later, my character''s look changed into light and loose clothing. Leather clad her legs with extra holsters all over and a handgun holster on her hip with another holster, I thought for maybe a small shotgun on her other hip. A strap through my breasts appeared with a long-barreled sniper appeared. My shirt was also leather, and I felt myself smiling, looking at my character as I looked badass and hot. My white skin, which looked almost pale, was shown, and my tail flicked behind me. I couldn''t help but nod at the image, and another prompt showed up. ¡ª- Please choose a final specialization that is class appropriate. ¡ª Another list, and for the first time, it wasn''t super long that I had to skim the descriptions. Many were around combat and fighting with guns, but I felt that the description was too vague for my class when I found a specialization that took my interest. ¡ª Artisan: You love the process of manufacturing every part of your weapon. You treat every weapon with the detail it deserves, and mass production is almost a carnal sin to you. Every weapon you make will get a bonus all around, but mass production of weapons is forbidden. Note: You can still sell weapons ¡ª- I looked at others, but the Artisian rang like the best to me. It was either Artisian or Manufacturer. ¡ª- Manufacturer: You love the creation of weapons; everyone should own a gun. You believe that a Baby should have a gun as soon as they can hold it properly and have sought ways to make mass production cheaper and require fewer materials. All weapons require fewer materials and take less time to create. ¡ª I was torn as I could see profit in both lines in them, but I chose Artesian in the end as I thought the bonuses in combat specializations could be made up for before I start combat in the profession stage with this class. I chose the prompt, and it asked if I was sure, and I chose yes. I couldn''t help but feel excited about making my character, and I got another notification. ¡ª- Name: Please Insert name here now; Class: Gun Specialist Race: Rish¡¯an Locktor Specialization: Artisan Profession: Gun manufacturer (Automatically chosen with Class) Gender: Futanari ¡ª ¡ª Please insert a name and confirm your choices, and you will start the tutorial. Note: Attributes are chosen in the tutorial through actions. ¡ª I put in Sleepy Wonder into the name and received another prompt. ¡ª- Name: Sleepy Wonder Class: Gun Specialist Race: Rish¡¯an Locktor Specialization: Artisan Profession: Gun manufacturer (Automatically chosen with Class) Gender: Futanari ¡ª I hit confirm, and the world turned black. I couldn''t wait to see what Galaxy Online was going to be like. Chapter 3: First Bounty The darkness turned to light, and I slowly awoke in a new world. I felt every fiber of the cloth under me as my hand glided on the rough, scratchy mattress. I groaned, and I looked around the small room I was in. Inside was a table and chair with a bunch of tools. On the opposite side was a small cabinet and, besides that, a small microwave-looking thing. I looked around and got up, feeling my tail bruising along the fabric of the mattress. I almost yelped at how sensitive my tail felt brushing the mattress and decided that I needed to pay more attention to that. I suddenly heard a knock on the door and a yell. ¡°Sleepy Wonder! Sleepy Wonder, are you in there?!¡± A man''s voice exclaimed. ¡°Come on! Open up, you damned cat!¡± The man cursed, and I stepped towards the door and tried to open it, only for it not to open. I found a little panel to the side and pressed it open. ¡°Woah!¡± A human man said, looking me up and down. ¡°If only you were just a woman,¡± The man said, and I looked down at myself, realizing I was naked. I hated moments like these in real life, and I knew it was better to act like I didn''t care instead of acting embarrassed. As someone who routinely had perverts watching her sleep, I just looked at him dead-eyed. ¡°What is it?¡± I asked him. The man seemed to blush a little, ¡°Um, Sorry, it is difficult to concentrate with you so naked,¡± He replied and pointed at the cabinet, ¡°Can you please put something on?¡± He requested. I turned and opened the cabinet and noticed a large number of holsters and leather clothing. ¡°Fine,¡± I replied and got a notification. ¡ª New Trait: Exhibitionist. Do not mind appearing before others naked. ¡ª ¡ª Note: Traits are permanent and can have both positive and negative possibilities with each. Be careful. ¡ª I sighed and pulled out the leather pants and the leather shirt. I put them on slowly and felt the skin tightness of each while the man watched me. It took me a little bit, and I started putting on all the holsters for the weapons in the cabinet. I realized quickly that my tail was between the shirt and the pants, and I couldn''t help but want to sigh a little in relief that I didn''t have to try getting my tail into my pants or through a hole in them. My tail flicked across the leather, and I felt a small tingle of pleasure through me that went straight to my head. I shook that pleasure off, put on the holsters, found a handgun for the holder on my waist, picked up the large caliber sniper, and strapped it onto my back. There were a couple of magazine clips for it, but I couldn''t find a shotgun for the holster I had for it. It was weird to need to equip it all myself, and the man was patient as I finished equipping all my guns and magazines in the cabinet. Still, there were empty holster bags strapped to my knees, and I found a couple of tool kits in the cabinet, and they all perfectly fit into the holsters. ¡°Typical Rish,¡± The man said, ¡°Can''t go anywhere without your guns,¡± he commented. ¡ª Trait unlocked. Locked and loaded. Equipping an arsenal is part of your morning routine. Who needs a sidearm when you can carry all your guns and ammo ¡ª I wanted to blush to realize I didn''t need to put on everything, but instead of doing that, I looked at the man. ¡°Well, I am dressed now,¡± I prompted, and the man blushed. ¡°Sorry, You look good in that.¡± He complimented, and the guy straightened his back. ¡°Boss wanted me to come to talk to you. Says there is a bounty that has priority one treatment. Please report as soon as your ready,¡± He finished, and I scoffed. I wanted to go now, but I thought of something I wanted to do in case these traits only happened here in the tutorial world.¡±Fine, I will be there,¡± I told him, and I closed the door. The man looked like he wanted to say something to me, and I didn''t care. With the door closed, I got to the floor and started to do push-ups. I wasn''t a huge fan of working out, but I was hoping it meant something in this game. I did ten pushups in full gear before I felt the sweat, so I changed to burpees before changing to squats. Suddenly a notification came up, and I smiled. ¡ª Trait Unlocked: Workout enthusiast. Gain Strength through workout routines. ¡ª I grinned and was about to open the door when I looked at the table. I picked up a paper and saw all the parts that the blueprint showed in front of me. I frowned and looked at the door. I didn''t know if I could come back, so I read the blueprint for a small shotgun. I had an empty holster for it, and I was going to use it. I quickly got to work and put the parts together. I quickly learned that putting a gun together was a pain in the ass, and it took longer than I expected. I quickly put my sniper to the side and sat down, accepting the challenge with a smile. ¡°Come on, Sleepy Wonder. We need to go soon!¡± The man exclaimed, and I continued to work. Finally, I finished the double-barrel shotgun. ¡ª The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Blueprint Learned. Mini Double barrel shotgun. ¡ª ¡ª Completed Mini Double barrel shotgun. Quality: (Basic) A barely completed gun put together with difficulty by a novice Gun Specialist. ¡ª ¡ª New Trait unlocked: Completed Arsonal. Fully equipped to a fault. Everyone else steps aside. ¡ª ¡ª New Trait unlocked: Concentrated. Concentrate on what you feel is most important, no matter who tries to distract you. ¡ª ¡ª New Trait unlocked: Stubborn. You face the challenge and complete it no matter what. ¡ª I got up, looked around the room, opened the drawers, picked up my tools, and put them back in their proper place. Finding nothing else, I put the shotgun in its holster, and that same man was glaring at me. ¡°We are late,¡± He told me and looked at the new shotgun. ¡°Should have fucking figured. Cat needed to complete her arsenal. Typical fucking Rish cat. Come on, Sleepy Wonder. Boss is waiting.¡± I followed the man uncensored and looked around the place. It was a metal hallway that didn''t look very clean at all. Sand and dirt littered the floors and walls, and I looked around as I followed the man. He seemed to no longer care about me now, and I knew I pissed him off. We passed several doors, and suddenly, the man opened a door and entered. I followed him in and found a lizard-looking man standing upright, and he was looking annoyed for some reason. ¡°Sleepy Wonder. You are late; I am sure Richard here told you it was a priority one?¡± He asked. ¡°No, He didn''t,¡± I lied. A new prompt came up, and I smiled. ¡ª New trait unlocked: Straight-faced liar. You can lie without showing any sign of it on your face. ¡ª I wasn''t sure if this was a good trait or not, but it was what it was now, and the Lizard-looking man turned to the human. ¡°Richard,¡± he said menacingly. ¡°Richard came to my room, and he opened the door, looked at me naked for a bit, and didn''t stop staring even as I dressed.¡± I continued wondering what this would lead to, and Richard looked at me wide-eyed. ¡°THAT ISN¡¯T TRUE!¡± Richard cried. ¡°Really?¡± I asked, ¡°You saw me naked, right?¡± ¡°Well, Yes, But,¡± He stammered, and the boss looked annoyed. ¡°Well, you could have turned away and not looked after opening my door,¡± I said, and Richard blushed. ¡°Well,¡± He stammered, looking for an excuse. ¡°Doesn''t matter.¡± The Lizard shouted, ending the argument. ¡°Richard, you will sit back. Sleepy Wonder. I have a mission for you to kill or capture this man.¡± he prompted, and a screen I hadn''t noticed turned on, showing me a human man. He had several scars, and his expression was one that would send shivers down people''s spines. ¡°He is on the most wanted list on Penvora and has received a kill order if you choose to use it. Captured, there is a fifty percent increase on the bounty of two hundred thousand Federation credits. Honestly, the man is strong, and I recommend against capturing and just killing him. You are one of our best bounty hunters. I was going to give you Richard as backup, but I have no one else available to assist you.¡± I frowned and realized I just made things harder for myself in what already seemed a difficult mission if the person was strong. Probably out of level or something else, but I nodded. ¡°He was last seen in our area five kilometers to the north. That is our own information and not some shitty-fed information. A couple reported it to us a couple of hours ago, although it may be out of date since you took so long. ¡°Very well, I will head out immediately. Is there a vehicle that I can borrow?¡± I asked. The Lizard seemed to frown or something but nodded, ¡°I was going to get Richard to drive you, but I will take a chance and lend you a dessert skimmer. Don''t destroy this one.¡± The Lizard finished, and I nodded. ¡°Thank you,¡± I replied and turned to Richard, ¡°Show me to the desert skimmer, and I will forgive you,¡± I told him, and Richard frowned and turned to the Lizard, who nodded. Richard frowned at me, and I followed him out of the office, and he glared at me. As we walked down the hallway, he looked annoyed, and when we reached the outside, I noticed we were on the edge of a small town bordering a desert as far as the eye could see. Richard didn''t stop, though, and put me in front of a car that had no wheels. It was off, and he handed me the keys. ¡°This is the desert speeder. Don''t fucking break it; you can explain why you lied to the boss while you were at it.¡± He said. ¡°You looked at me naked without paying me,¡± I told him, ¡°You had to pay a price, and you paid it.¡± I told him and grinned mischievously, ¡°If you were a little stronger or manlier, I would have slept with you, though,¡± I told him with a wink. Richard blanked, and I opened the desert skimmer. I put in the keys, and the things started to float into the air as I received a prompt making me turn to Richard. ¡ª New trait Unlocked: Cock tease. Turn on men more easily, leaving them hard and wanting. ¡ª I looked down at his pants and noticed a sizable bulge that was probably only a little smaller than I was. ¡°Maybe next time, Richard,¡± I told him, staring at his waist, and Richard blushed. I turned and started to put my things into the car and hopped into the driver''s seat, and I realized this worked a lot like cars in real life. I put the skimmer in reverse and backed out of the spot. I looked at the console and the compass and started driving into town. I drove into town and stopped at a store that, on the GPS, told me it was a general store. I got out of the skimmer and grabbed my guns to head inside. ¡°Fucking cats,¡± I heard someone say as I entered, and I looked around, looking for food and drinks. Maybe a map, and I quickly found the first two things and figured the GPS in the skimmer would cover the last. I put my things on the counter, and the man looked at me. He held out a device, and I looked at him. ¡°Come on, you fucking Cat. Give me your hand and pay,¡± he cursed, and I held out my hand. ¡ª Federation Credits: 2468 Cost of items: 268 Remaining Balance: 2200 ¡ª I frowned but took my items and walked out of the store with the food and drinks and placed them in the trunk of the skimmer, taking off my sniper rifle and putting it in the passenger seat. It was time to go hunting for the bounty. Chapter 4: Laying a Trap I followed the directions and the last bit of information that the lizard boss gave me. I quickly came to a cliff face to which I saw nothing. I got out, and I looked around. Around me was nothing but dunes and this cliff face, and I decided that he was probably here at some point. I looked around some more, and after a while, I noticed something almost half a kilometer from where I parked the Skimmer. It was footprints trailing around a bend in the cliff face. It was interesting since I couldn''t think of anyone who would have legitimate reasons for being out here. I began to follow them and noticed some of the footprints missing from the slight desert wind. Luckily in the face of that, I found more tracks not far away, and I continued to follow them. More than just following the footprints, though, I noticed some drag marks suddenly appeared, and I could not help but be curious about that. I looked around some more, and I couldn''t help but feel that this area was dangerous. Looking up the cliff face, I could see some holes in it, and I wondered if I could set up camp or something in one of those holes. If not me, then someone else could put something in there that could shoot down at me. That last thought made me more paranoid, and I moved more cautiously. I took the sniper rifle off my back and pointed it up at one of those holes, now telling me something that I didn''t know before yet should have guessed. THE FUCKING SNIPER RIFLE IS HEAVY ON MY ARMS! The feeling of the metal was amazing in my fingers, but it was heavy on my arms, and I hadn''t realized how heavy it was on my back compared to my arms while trying to hold it up. I quickly looked through the scope and found nothing in a couple of holes before I strapped the sniper back onto my back, and I sighed in relief. I would need to be lying down or sitting using that in the future, and I decided to move forward with that thought in my mind continuing to follow the tracks I found. Eventually, I frowned as I found the tracks led into a cave, with another set of tracks leaving the cave and continuing to head in another direction. I quickly decided to check out the cave and headed deeper into the cave. It was dark, and eventually, I placed my hand on the wall walking down the cave. I felt stupid as I continued to walk and slowly started to elevate upwards. Still, I continued to walk in the darkness, and I cursed myself, hoping I didn''t get lost. This tutorial told me my rewards were based on this mission, and eventually, I grinned as I noticed light a solid artificial-looking light, and I reached into my holster and grabbed my handgun. I moved forward cautiously until I turned the corner and stuck to the darkness. I found a little camping spot with some closed crates, camping equipment, and a Cot for sleeping in. I looked around and realized I might have found the guy''s base camp. I grinned in excitement but slowed down, looking around more carefully. This camp looks lived in, and with the tracks, he probably was coming back. I didn''t want to disturb things and make him suspicious. I still had my skimmer out there in the open. Should I head back? My mind raced as I considered things and decided to gamble when I received a notification that confirmed things or maybe not. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked: Tracker You look at the subtle details and find a potential marks camp. ¡ª I moved into the camp, looking not to disturb it, and tried to memorize the camp''s condition. I wanted to capture this guy and know what was in the crates. Nothing thankfully was on the crate, but I didn''t want to kick anything, and thankfully, there wasn''t that much sand on the floor, it seemed. I stepped passed the camp, though, and continued onwards a little. I quickly found after a hundred more feet of walking past the camp that the cave exited back out into the cliff face a couple of hundred meters away from the cave entrance. It was a fantastic perch, and I decided to ambush the guy here. I set down my rifle out of view, and I walked back feeling odd without my sniper, to be honest, but much more lightweight as I moved. I quickly found myself back at the camp, opened one of the crates, and found many parts. I looked them over and quickly found a blueprint for whatever this was. ¡ª Rough landing pad blueprint (Basic) Used for making a landing pad for spacecraft in rough areas for both pickup and drop off. ¡ª- I looked over the parts and quickly found that the parts were for the rough landing pad. I smiled as I realized that if he was calling someone to pick him up that I might even be able to pick up whoever tries to get him off this planet. I couldn''t help but imagine taking a spacecraft in my tutorial mission to aid in whatever the main universe was. I grinned. I put everything back in the place where I found it and closed the crate. I carefully walked over to the next crate and opened it up, finding food supplies and water supplies. I dug into it a bit and found some of it had been eaten, and I stood straight. There was almost a month''s supply of dry rations here, and I closed it after making sure it looked untouched. The next crate held parts for miscellaneous needs, but one thing stood out: a small stack of papers that were blueprints. ¡ª Rough large claw trap blueprint. (Basic) A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. For catching large animals unprepared. ¡ª ¡ª Rough Handgun trap blueprint For Catching your enemy unprepared ¡ª ¡ª Rough Explosive trap blueprint For catching multiple weak enemies unprepared ¡ª ¡ª Rough Small claw trap blueprint For hunting small game. ¡ª Interesting, and I thought about using the parts in here to make something. I frowned, and I got a grin. Did I want to make a bet and set a trap at the Skimmer in case the man tried to take it? No, he needed to come here, and I probably left tracks leading here. I needed to make a bet and try and think how the guy would act. There was one more crate left, and I walked over to it, opened it up, and found another blueprint that made me grin larger than ever. ¡ª Small Encoded Transmitter blueprint. (Basic) It teaches you to make a small transmitter that allows you to contact nearby satellites and encode for transmission to spacefaring vessels. ¡ª He needed to return to this little camp and probably had more goodies. I wonder what he is using to transport things. I walked back to the other crate, opened it up, and took out the Small claw trap blueprint, and the stuff needed to make it along with the light and walked to the hole in the cliff and pulled out blueprints. I would start making things while hoping I could hear him coming while I worked. I immediately got to work and started to craft the small claw trap to practice after the shame my shotgun was. With all my tools, I started to put it together and didn''t hear anything but my own breathing and the wind in the desert. I quickly found that I enjoyed tinkering with the small trap and increased the Claw trap''s tensile strength to snap down harder on whatever stepped into it. I smiled as I finally completed it, and I got a notification as I finished it. ¡ª Small Claw Trap (Basic) Slightly better than the Rough Claw trap that will hurt when it bites down. ¡ª I grinned and headed down to the small camp grabbing the supplies for the Large Claw trap. Soon I was back working on it as time passed, and when I completed the Large trap, I started on the Explosive trap. I didn''t want to make the handgun trap as the one piece that was missing was a handgun, and I only had one on me. I continued to work on the explosive trap but was much more careful with it. I gulped as I worked on it, and my hands were steady. What I didn''t expect to help me the most was how sensitive my hands were. I could feel everything while I was working down to the slightest fiber. My delicate small fingers allowed me to make somthing that made my fingers in my real body feel like blubbering sausages. I couldn''t help but marvel at how well I was doing as I worked. When I completed the explosive trap, I couldn''t help but smile brightly and set it aside, carefully looking at my notifications. ¡ª Large Claw Trap Slightly modified from the original blueprint to bite down hard on its trapped victim, unable to let go. ¡ª-- ¡ª Rough Explosive Trap. For catching multiple weak enemies unprepared ¡ª I grinned at the last notification and quickly reread it again and again. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked: Trapmaker Adapting to what you have on hand is the maker of a true schemer. You make traps to help you in combat. ¡ª I couldn''t help but smile before I sobered up. I didn''t have much time, I thought, or I had all the time in the world. I didn''t know, but I was sure this guy was coming back. I picked up my new traps and set them in sight before heading to the cliff entrance to think of how to capture or kill the guy I expected to return for these things. It was my main mission here, after all. I looked down at the desert and looked noticing that it was mostly sand. I could dig a little pit at the entrance of the cave and stick the large claw trap under the sand. That would give me away early, though. I wasn''t confident with a sniper I hadn''t practiced before in a game world that I hadn''t tried shooting in. So that was stuck out for now. I could ambush him at the camp. Stick to the shadows with the explosive trap as a surprise. My mind went over possibilities, and I watched the dunes of the desert while I thought. No one was coming, and so I decided. I would have to kill him if he spotted me coming in, but I wanted the bonus. So I started to work, heading back to camp with his light source and setting up my few traps. It took several hours to set things up how I remembered perfectly with the traps in what I hoped were the perfect place, and I headed to the cliff opening. I laid down and practiced with my sniper gazing out into the dunes hoping to catch some movement before there was even a chance for him to see me. Thankfully the sun was on the other side of the cliff, with no chance of the sun reflecting off my lens as that last gun game I played had that mechanic. I watched out over the sea of sand till I heard a desert skimmer moving, and my heart dropped a little as it came from where I had left my skimmer. I felt elated minutes later as it came into view, and I looked at who took my skimmer as it was an exact match for the one that brought me here. I looked inside and saw the man I was here to hunt was coming straight for the cave with a smile. Instead of shooting that smiling asshole, I pulled my sniper back and felt my breasts dragging on the ground as I pulled my body away from the edge. I moved into position by the camp and hid in the darkness of the shadows. I prayed my plan worked, or I was going to be in serious shit. Chapter 5: Ambush I lay in wait with my sniper rifle lying down in the darkness, my breasts pressed against the hard ground with a layer of leather in the way. I hadn''t thought about it before, but I quickly realized why the game provided me with leather. My body felt hugged, my fingers were super sensitive, and the solid texture was less straining than anything cloth. While I had been working on the traps, I found that sensitivity exceedingly useful for finding flaws and working with things. Solid matter to me was extremely comfortable. I remembered the mattress and how much it scratched my skin, and I hated the feeling. In real life, I loved the texture of mattresses, while in this world, I hated it. My fingers were too sensitive, so I needed solid surfaces since they were almost like silk. I stroked the solid surface of my sniper rifle with ease while I waited in ambush. The solid metal felt comforting and good to my sensitive fingers. I waited patiently and didn''t care that he had not come up yet. I expected him to notice my footprints and think I was either here or had left. It was almost an hour after I first spotted the man in my skimmer until he showed up in the cave. I could hear his footsteps in the quiet cave and slowed my breathing. I remembered the call of duty VRMMO I used to play and how much controlling your breathing mattered in it. I tried out for teams for their sniper class, but I never could get used to that quick scope meta. It was a hard game, and I went for the run and gun class in the end, which I never truly felt in the element for. I waited in silence, my thoughts whirling into unnecessary things as I watched. I wanted him alive but would take him dead if I had to. His footsteps got louder and louder, and finally, I saw him enter the light with a rifle-looking device in his hands. He looked around slowly at his camp with an eye for looking at things in detail. I turned my scope to look at him and found it at chest level, but I couldn''t see well through it. I wished I had a different scope on the sniper, but instead of complaining, I waited. He moved around the camp and scoffed. ¡°Where the fuck is the dumbass that left that skimmer out there. I saw the tracks coming in and not coming out. You definitely are here.¡± The man''s husky voice spoke, and I felt it in my loins a little. I loved Husky voices and higher-pitched women''s voices. It was two voice fetishes that I hated but still rang true. I didn''t pay attention to it, though I lay in and beyond as he looked towards the darkness. He reached out, opened a crate with his rations, and found nothing moved. I could see his frown, and he moved to the next crate, and I readied myself. His hand reached out slowly and his hand touched the button, and he opened the crate. Bang! The explosive trap set off, and the man reeled in surprise, stepping back into the darkness and crying out as his leg stepped into the darkness where my small claw trap was. It viciously clamped down on his heel, and he screamed in pain, falling back and he fell onto his ass; his other leg fell into the Large Claw Trap, making him scream in pain as it clamped down on his leg. I joined the fun and got up, no longer needing my sniper rifle as the man started to comprehend what just happened when I reached him and pressed the nuzzle of my gun to his temple. ¡°Live or Die?¡± I asked him, pressing harder into his temple, making him groan. His screaming suddenly died, and I saw that fearsome man looking afraid. ¡°Who are you?¡± He asked, his voice trembling a little. I pressed harder against his temple and pushed his head harder. ¡°Live or Die?¡± I asked again, ¡°Three.¡± I began counting, and I saw his eyes widen. ¡°Two,¡± I stated without caring, and the guy''s eyes swiveled. ¡°LIVE, PLEASE LET ME LIVE!¡± He suddenly exclaimed. I looked down at him, turned, and pointed the gun at his Achilles heel. I flattened my ears in the vain hope of dampening the sound and shot his heel, severing it and cutting off his ability to run. His scream echoed in the camber, but it was all oddly dampened as my ears pressed down against my head. His legs couldn''t move well, and I moved to shoot the Achilles tendon, and the guy screamed some more. He cried out loudly and writhed in pain as I stood straight and I pushed the man down, checking his body. I quickly found some things and received notifications as I checked his body. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked: Merciless Make sure an enemy cannot retaliate. ¡ª ¡ª Unato Handgun series 336 A basic handgun commonly found throughout the Galaxy is made by the Unato Company. ¡ª ¡ª Basic Datapad Contains a hard drive and viewing software so that you can make and read basic information that you have downloaded or dictated. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. ¡ª It wasn''t much, but I wasn''t about to leave this guy just like this, and I opened up the food container, found some medical supplies, and turned back to the guy. I began to strip him bare, taking his bloody clothes and tossing them away, finding a harness underneath his shirt, and I took the gun he was hiding. I grinned as it was a duplicate of the other, and I used bandages to tie up his arms. It wasn''t the best, but it was what I had. I opened up the claw traps then, and blood started to pour from his wounds. I finished bandaging his wounds and got another notification as I finished. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked: First aider You know the basics of First aid and can treat simple wounds. ¡ª I nodded to myself as the guy groaned on the ground, and I opened one of the crates quickly, finding the trap wire in the trap create, which was a way I could set up the traps if I wanted to. I grabbed it, wrapped it around the guy''s arms, and tied them up securely like I had done so many times with my ex-boyfriends and girlfriends in real life. I made sure to tie him up and contemplated if I should hog-tie him when I got a new notification. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked: Dominatrix Rope tyer You clearly know your way around the rope with experience tying up submissives. ¡ª I blushed at that as the trait actually was completely right. The rope was hot when it accented muscles and breasts. When it spread a pussy apart so you could tease it. I shook my head hard, stopping that line of thought before I looked down at my captive again. He was helpless now and still groaning in pain. Only ten-fifteen minutes ago, he was free, and now I had him all tied up and captured. It was kind of a disappointment how easily he fell into my trap, but I wasn''t about to take any chances. I didn''t have any proper restraining gear, and the man was still recovering from the sudden ambush. I grabbed my sniper and put it on my back before I grabbed him by the wire holding his arms and dragging him. He suddenly cried out as I dragged him down into the darkness of the cave to the entrance. I didn''t have any rope or anything back in the Skimmer, but who knew what this dumbass brought with him, and I wasn''t about to leave him alone in the cave. If there was nothing to restrain him better, I had one more way to constrain him with no hope for him if he tried to escape. That was a little cruel; I didn''t want to go that route, even in a game. His groans and cries as I dragged him down were annoying, and he was heavy. I didn''t remember what this guy did, but he matched the image I was shown, and It took almost an hour to get him back to the skimmer. I dropped him at the edge of the cave from the desert and heaved a sigh of relief as I reached the edge. I found the skimmer only a meter or so away from the cliff entrance, and I looked at the man. He was groaning, and he no longer looked so tough. I opened the trunk of the Skimmer and noticed a couple of new crates, and I grinned, opening them up. I looked them over and found some parts and electronics in one, but I didn''t know what they were for. It seemed this guy needed parts for something, and I bet it had to do with the transmitter and the landing pad. Maybe needed to boost the signal. I opened the next crate and found more with a little blood on some parts. I found a blueprint, and I smiled as I looked at it. ¡°Well, look at this,¡± I said. ¡ª Singal Booster Blueprint Teaches you to make a Signal booster helping send out messages for another hundred thousand kilometers. ¡ª- Wow! It seems that the criminal here needed to boost the signal in order to get whoever was going to pick him up. But now, with him captured, I faced a dilemma. I could just take the dumbass tied up behind me and bring him back to wherever I came from. But I could also make the transmitter and the signal booster and send a signal to whoever was going to pick this guy up and maybe steal their ship. It was a hard choice, and I opened the last Crate and found something that made life much easier. Base supplies, along with some ropes and tarps, so I didn''t have to look at the guy''s dick any longer. I grinned and grabbed a length of rope when my stomach growled, requesting food. I looked down at my flat stomach, opened the bag I had brought, pulled out some rations,, and began munching on them before heading back to my captive. ¡°Y-You are a bounty hunter,¡± The guy said as I got close to him, ¡°One of those fucking Rish Cats that have nothing better to do since you lost your homeworld. Let me help you; you no longer have to be a government dog. The federation will not help you!¡± He cried out as I reached him again with the rope. I quickly bound his legs, making him groan. ¡°Come on, Please, Hear me out!¡± He cried out with pain, lacing his words. ¡°Then speak,¡± I told him, interested to hear his words, but I would not let him go easily. ¡°Why are you tying me up then!¡± he complained. ¡°You''re my Prisoner, and if you don''t somehow convince me to change sides, then I will bring you back as my bounty. Three hundred thousand Federation Credits is what you have to beat.¡± I told him, keeping my voice cold, and I heard him growl as I turned him over and tied his legs up to his arms and reclaimed the wire while pressing a foot on his back before retying his arms now bound to his legs also making it even harder for him to move. As I had the extra rope, though, I bound his arms to his sides, giving him a Bra with rope before I tied it off. I looked down at my work as he groaned, and I knew my first girlfriend would have loved to be bound like this. Looking at it, I knew that she would be dripping wet, wanting me inside her. ¡°Okay, Fine,¡± he cried out, ¡°What the fuck? Are you a Dominatrix or something? I can''t fucking move a fucking finger!¡± His complaints fell on my ears, and I showed him a knowing smile before going back to a dead-panned look as I looked through my loot. ¡°I am meeting up with some pirates that run a large organization against the federation. They are looking for my signal to come to pick me up in a spaceship. You have my datapad, and you can see we have a bargaining position. Come on, I already found them, and we can easily make Five hundred thousand credits if you sell it to them.¡± The man said, looking up at me from the ground. ¡°More money, and you get better things from it.¡± I couldn''t help but scoff, but I also started to think. If the pirates were looking to get a message from him, I could use that to my advantage, and I smiled genuinely for the first time. ¡°Tell me more about this deal and the cash we can make. I also want to hear about this Pirate crew you are dealing with.¡± I said it all with a very interested smile, and my bounty looked hopeful. Chapter 6: Pirates ¡°To start with, these are the Crimson Pirates,¡± The man said, his voice severe as if I was supposed to shake in my boots from the mere mention of them as I leaned against the Skimmer watching him. ¡°They are like a scourge to this part of the Galaxy and control most if not all the Black markets that matter. They have Star ships in the thousands, and I even heard a rumor once that they have a dreadnought that they fully man.¡± I looked at him unimpressed, and he pressed on. ¡°Inside that Datapad, I stole the technical blueprints of brand new technologies and how to make the tools. Did they tell you the reason you are hunting me?¡± He asked. I simply shook his head, and he turned serious, ¡°Of course, they want me dead,¡± he said, his scar making him look intimidating to someone who cared and perceived stereotypes. ¡°I was a member of the Engineering team working on the Servers at their Research and development testing base here on the planet. I scalped the data stream and downloaded all the information on a fresh stream of data from off-world. The plans on it are serious business and worth a ton of Credits to other manufacturing companies. We could be rich if we sell them on the black market!¡± He exclaimed, and I stared at him. ¡°Is that it?¡± I asked, unimpressed but happy that I didn''t bring Richard with me. ¡°Well, Yeah,¡± He said, and I got up, looking at the dimensions of the Skimmer, wishing I could move it inside the cave. I had options here, and I wondered if I wanted to exit the tutorial as soon as possible. I knew that some Chinese games went with a style that threw many for a loop if they thought tutorials were unimportant. It is a growing trend these days, and I couldn''t help but think that Gaben Corporation might follow the trend. The motto was Life wasn''t fair. Why should mass multiplayer games be fair too? You needed to set up a fair way through to make it slightly unfair in a way that doesn''t break the game. I leaned back as the guy looked at me, ¡°Why do you sound so unimpressed?!¡± He exclaimed, ¡°This is a huge opportunity!¡± he exclaimed, and I ignored him, uncaring of his words as I thought about if this might also be a choice between being a pirate or a bounty hunter when I entered the main game instead of the tutorial. I frowned and thought about it as the Traits seemed to be important in the game, and I couldn''t help but wonder about them. Some seemed easy to get, but others were not. I wanted to headshot a person from a distance as well, as it might give me a new trait. I also think that being a pirate to start off would be a bad choice. I barely knew that much about the game world, and it may be really bad to be a pirate and better to be above board. Also, I could change to a pirate later if I wanted, but I couldn''t easily decriminalize myself. It was an obvious choice not to go Pirate to start, and I wasn''t one to second guess myself too much. I wasn''t perfect, and I would sometimes, and maybe I might regret my choice. But it was my choice, and I hated others picking for me as this guy was strongly trying to insinuate that I should become a Pirate. Now I picked up the Datapad and opened it up since it had no security on it, and I started to take a look through it. ¡ª- Datapad (Quest Item) Filled with information and technology with the latest research results, blueprints, and experimental technology of the Ualtor company. ¡ª I looked at it and started to scroll through it and found that I couldn''t quite understand it. It was like something was stopping me from understanding it. I felt even though they looked like blueprints, the same as those I had seen before, It frustrated me, but since it was a quest item, it must be stopping me from learning the information. I frowned as I had never heard of a game doing it this way instead of just not giving you access to it because of a password or something. Instead of brooding about that, I needed to start planning what I would do. My brain turned active, and I looked up to the sky with a smile on my face. There was no way I would leave a spaceship''s potential capture alone. With a decision made, I needed to take note of what I had. I moved with purpose, and I grabbed the bound man behind me as I got a large smile on my face. Fail or not, there would be a real battle on my hands with that spaceship crew. I started off by dragging my captive back into the cave and depositing him in a spot with light before heading back and taking better inventory of what I had and tearing apart the crates in the hope of some ammunition so that I could practice some shooting before all of this went down. I wanted to find parts to make more claw traps and, if I was lucky, at least one explosive trap, but I could live without it. The Claw Traps would become essential, and I was doing this in a sketchy way. I would have no idea how many crew they would be sending or the size of the transport if they came down in the right direction. There were so many variables, so I needed two things to happen. I needed them to think they were being ambushed only by a single person. I needed them to run towards the cliff, and I would need to transmit that I had the datapad with me. Pirates tend to be a greedy bunch and but they fear the strong. I would have to bait them into thinking I was a novice. I froze at that thought, and a wicked grin appeared on my face. I was a novice, and I wanted them to come to hunt me down. The best way to appear that I am a novice is to start target practice with them and start from there in the fires and set up some traps where the skimmer was. Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. I quickly set to work and grinned as I shifted through all the parts learning that I had enough parts for three more small claw traps and two large claw traps. With enough for two handgun traps, I would have more than enough to weed some of their forces before they got into the cave. Then I would have some traps set up for them in the waiting, ready to meet them when they run towards me. First, though, I checked how much time I had in the pod and was surprised to see even after spending hours in the pod, it had only been one or two hours. That meant that the game world, or at least the tutorial world, was running at four-to-one speed. The game said that you couldn''t sleep in the game world while you played, and so that was equivalent to two days in the game world if that happened. That sounded insane, especially if you popped off to go out with friends. Every four hours would be a game day that you missed out on. I shook my head of that and guessed that it was probably a tutorial thing or that the power it would take to run the servers with potentially millions would be astronomical. Instead of worrying about real life, I would settle down and get to working on my tools to kill the pirates. I grinned as I set to work making new traps and thinking about what I should do with them as I made them. I didn''t need them to do anything fancy, but I also needed them to be really hard to open back up. They were pressure plated, too, so there were many ways I could use them. It took me over an hour to build the traps and have them ready to go, and I made the two handgun traps with handguns I took from my captive, who seemed to be sleeping at this point. It was smart and would help keep his strength for anything to come. Too bad all I had planned for him was a cell and receiving a bounty.to help fuel me into the Galaxy¡¯s worlds. After my traps, though, I had to set up the landing pad in the proper place, and so I took the create and set up my captive with a trap that I wouldn''t tell him about with the handgun trap wire in a really good place to shoot his cock off if he tried to move too much. I made sure to wake him up and show him the light in the cave. His expression was one of horror, and I grinned, looking at it. ¡°You understand,¡± I said, ¡°That is fantastic; please have a cock still when I come back,¡± I told him and took the create for the landing pad out. Honestly, the landing pad was a straightforward design I set it up in minutes, and it covered a couple of hundred square feet in a fold-out style. It wasn''t about giving the spaceship a solid place to land, more like covering the sand to it wouldn''t sink into the sand. It was basic as hell, and I headed back to the cave and set up the transmitter and signal booster making sure I had them both complete before getting to work on my traps for these Pirates. I started to set them up in the sand, but I mostly set them up in the cave. I had to disarm the handgun trap pointed at my captives cock, and I took it in an attempt to bolster my other traps; combining them with everything set, I walked with the lone lantern, eating some dried crackers and some good that I had no idea what it was. Tasted a little like chicken, though, and I chugged some water down to help with the aftertaste. I made some last-minute preparations, and then I sent the prerecorded signal. I got into position at the mouth of the cave and had myself ready to fire as I waited. And waited. And Waited. I grew bored quickly, but still, I was a patient woman, and I watched and waited. I felt like I had waited a lot longer than I actually heard a ship slightly larger than the landing pad start to come down from orbit. A sharp whistle hit the air, and I prepped myself, looking down the scope, not knowing where the pirates were going to come from in the ship. Soon they touched down on the rough landing pad and landing gears hissed, and slowly, a ramp came down, and a Six-legged thing came out of the It turned to another six-legged thing, and a human came down, and one spoke. ¡°Where is the guy?¡± He asked, ¡°The man told us over the comms before he headed out in the desert and got caught that he would be here to pick us up. Look at that skimmer over there. He said he wasn''t moving on foot,¡± one of the six-legged things pointed out with small arms I hadn''t noticed before. Through my scope, I could see the human''s eyes narrow, and I took a shot. My ears flattened just before I pulled the trigger. Bang! My rifle shot, and a large caliber bullet sent straight toward the three aliens and the human. It then smacked against the ramp leaving a deep gash on the human man''s face, and he turned to look up. ¡°AMBUSH!¡± he yelled, and only slightly to my surprise, they pulled out metallic gun-looking things and started to hunt for cover instead of going into their ship. A blue-skinned good looking woman started to run down the ramp with a large round-looking weapon. That looked dangerous, and she became my first target now. She ran down the ramp, her head moving with a snarl of yellow teeth and breasts that were swinging all over the place as she ran. She stopped, and I compensated a little this time, and I fired another shot of my sniper rifle just as I heard a rapid series of returning gunfire. The woman I had shot at this time no longer had her left breast, and that dangerous-looking weapon fell down with her suddenly; it shot up into the air as she fell, shooting her weapon in death. A sharp whistle went up into the air, with fuel shooting out of the rocket-propelled grenade before it fell back to the sand a distance away from the fight. My eyes swiveled, no longer paying attention to it as it was no longer a threat, and I found one of the six-legged things shooting at me as they ran to the skimmer. The fact it had six legs made things difficult, and I tried to angle my sniper as they ran towards the cave mouth just as I envisioned. The skimmer was a dead giveaway where I was, and I wanted them coming in the right direction. I had a little bit of time, so I looked at the ship again, but no one came out. I growled, and with a smile, I got up to take on the intruders inside my cave. I ran inside with a smile on my face. It was time to have some fun! Chapter 7: Push I quickly laid down just outside of the camp, where I had everything set up. I took one of the benches that the guy I captured had and set up shop just behind it. I had no idea if it would be a good cover and didn''t want to try it. I was out of sight with a large distraction in place in the camp. The man that they had intended to meet was tied up, still unable to speak or move, just at the edge of the vision. I personally couldn''t care less if he died in the following exchange, but I needed the distraction despite the credits I might lose if he died. I heard their footsteps, and one of the guys yelled at the other in English, which was a relief. ¡°Whoever ambushed us must be ahead.¡± One of the six-limbed creatures said, ¡°Move forward and make sure whatever that light isn¡¯t a trap.¡± ¡°Yes, Boss,¡± the other one said, almost sounding the same with a slightly higher pitch. The steps were much slower, and I peaked above, and the man started moaning and moving to grab their attention. I could see him trying to warn them, but I could see that the first one didn''t understand what it was he was trying to get across. ¡°Boss, There is one person tied up again, struggling in his bindings. Might be the person who was selling us the data and got caught just as he messaged us.¡± The creature said, stopping in place. ¡°Release him and see what he has to say. I will cover you,¡± The boss said, and the six-limbed creature moved forward slowly. Just as whatever it was stepped into the thresh hold of light, he pulled a sting for the handgun trap, and I couldn''t stop smiling. BANG! The handgun went off and hit him in the center of mass, and I had no idea if he would kill the guy. ¡°FUCK!¡± The thing shouted, dropped his gun, covered his gunshot wound, and stepped back into the darkness. The boss reacted quickly and shot in the direction of the fun fire, sending ricochets all over the cave, and I ducked behind me, merely covered as he littered that spot of darkness with gunfire. Bullets whined, and my ears were flat against my head, muffling the sound of the gunfire. Slowly I peeked my head up and listened as the boss reloaded his weapon, and I could no longer see his subordinate. ¡°Fuck, You okay?¡± The boss asked. I heard a cough, and I guessed that one of the ricochets must have hit his subordinate. I looked over to my captive, and I saw some blood coming from his leg, letting me know that he had been hit, and his whimpering helped emphasize that. I grinned as the boss seemingly ducked down, looking around, and I slightly rose onto my knees in the darkness. I could barely see the outline of their body, and I could be wrong, but I flattened my ears as my handgun rose up and all those years using iron scopes in games made me hope they were accurate. I found where I wanted to shoot, and my finger pulled down. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! I quickly squeezed again and again into the darkness, no longer willing to see as I shot in the direction I knew they were in. I heard something, but with my ears muffling the sound, I had no idea what. I continued to fire one bullet after another until my handgun was empty. I quickly strode forth and stepped over one of the backup claw traps I had set up in the camp. I pulled out my shotgun as I moved, knowing I only had a few shots remaining and I didn''t have a second magazine for the handgun. I quickly looked down and saw that both the pirates were bleeding out. I smirked and squatted down when I saw movement that the boss fellow picked up his gun to aim it at me. I quickly whipped my shotgun into what I believed to be his head and fired a shot blasting the head into chunks of meat. Blood splattered my body, and I frowned as the blood felt weird on my body. I quickly checked to see if his subordinate was dead and found his carcass filled with several light entries. I smiled, realizing my guess was correct, until I realized I hadn''t received any notifications yet. I frowned and stood for a moment before going back to my pack and reloading my magazine. I started to walk down the cave patch and stepped over the large claw trap they failed to step on and the handgun trap they somehow avoided. Pausing, I turned around and headed back up the cave stepping over the traps again and barely missing one of my traps as I almost tripped over one of the legs of a dead body. I quickly headed back up and laid down, checking the area with my sniper rifle. Quickly looking around, I found no additional enemies, and the blue woman was already dead on the ground. I waited no longer and quickly picked up the sniper rifle and strapped it along my back before heading back and repeating my show of dodging the traps and stepping over them. My thoughts quickly spun as I hated when luck allowed people to avoid things they shouldn''t have, but I knew my traps were not perfect. The only reason my first trap worked was that it was all-or-nothing. I was ready to ambush to kill them if he didn''t fall for it. I quickly moved through the cave dodging the traps I knew were in the dark, and eventually came out into the desert. I saw my skimmer, and I frowned, looking at the spaceship that was still in position on the Rough landing pad. I pulled out my shotgun and pistol and started walking into the desert, crossing over to the spaceship not too far away. Initially, I thought about putting a couple of claw traps in the sand, but putting them in the darkness was still a better idea. I looked around and noticed that the sun was starting to set, and that night was soon going to be coming in. I wouldn''t be able to drive back to whatever base it was at night in the desert, and that meant that I would need to bunker down for the night. Still, I hadn''t seen a single notification, and that was worrying me. Stepping through the dunes, I quickly reached the rough landing pad, and I started to look up the ramp with my shotgun drawn close to me and my handgun out. If someone tried to ambush me, I would rather hurt myself with buckshot than die, so I slowly stepped up the ramp trying to be as quiet as possible. I slowly stepped toe to heel and made barely any noise on the ramp. My ears were twitching, listening for any sound as I slowly moved up the ramp. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it I slowly crept up to the top and looked around as I went up the ramp. It was an open door at the top, and I held my breath as I reached the doorway. This was the riskiest part of this, but I had to enter at some point if I wanted the spaceship. I let my one hand enter and instantly felt a hand grab my wrist; my eyes recognized a blue hand gripping me and pulling me up and off balance. I stumbled forward, and the woman took my handgun from my hand and turned to point it at me. Although I was off kilter a little, my shotgun stabbed into her gut, and my ears pressed against my head as my finger pressed the trigger and a blast of sound came out and blew a hole in them just as the shot and a spike of pain erupted from my arm as the handgun shot my arm that I was holding my shotgun with. ¡°FUCK!¡± As the blue person fell, I cursed without thought and stumbled into the opposing bulkhead to stabilize myself. Pain shot up my arm, and I looked down at the head dude I had just punched a hole into. His grip on my handgun was released, and it lay beside him while a large hole was in his chest. It must have been the lover or something of that woman I blasted a hole in earlier with the sniper rifle. I looked down at the dead man, kicked my handgun away, and looked around. It was a simple small hallway with a couple of lockers, and pain blurred my vision. Before doing anything else, I needed to look around and ensure the place was clear. Pain laced up my arm as I moved around and checked the corners. I went into rooms with random things that I did not know what they were. I was hoping that I could find something to help me out while I was here to identify things inside the spaceship as I moved. Quickly I found what I roughly guessed to be a medical bay from some of the syringes inside the room, and I pushed into the room, hoping to find something to bandage the gunshot wound in my arm and something to sterilize it. Pushing into the room, I heard groans, and I looked around with my shotgun forward. I walked deeper in, seeing what undoubtedly were beds, including an empty tank in a corner. I didn''t know what that was for, but I ignored it when I found what I hoped to be a storage room. I pressed a big button, and suddenly the door opened. I suddenly heard a cry of despair, and I looked inside to find a woman chained. She was a blue-skinned woman with large breasts and shades of purple all over her body in places that made her look beaten. She was chained to the wall, and I could see the despair on her face at first till it turned to hope. ¡°Are you a rescue party?¡± She asked, her tone hopeful, ¡°Some of my crew turned Pirate. Can you help me?¡± She asked in tones of begging. I had no idea if what she said was true, but it might help with taking this ship, so I turned around to look. ¡°Give me a bit,¡± I told her instead, ¡°Need to clear the ship,¡± My tone came out clipped and was slightly laced with pain as I didn''t find the bandages I was looking for. I pressed the button, closing off a cry of despair that was only muffled. I didn''t care what she thought, as I needed to make sure of threats instead of increasing them. She was a potential hazard that could attack me while I was injured. I moved through the ship clearing rooms, and soon I sighed in relief as I couldn''t find any more rooms to check. I contemplated where I should bandage myself up and decided that with two captives, I should collect them and put them in the same area at least. The spaceship might not be the best place, but in that closet, there were more restraints than what the woman had on her. I moved back into the camp, leaving the spaceship, and I moved through the desert and back into the cave. I made sure to step over the traps again, which I would dismantle once I grabbed some tweezers and bandages. Getting to camp didn''t take long, and the guy was groaning on the floor where I had left him. Blood flowed from his body slowly, and I needed to bandage him at least. I quickly worked on myself first and screamed out a loud, ¡°FUCK!¡± as the medical alcohol burned in my wounds as dug the bullet out that didn''t go through. After a couple of minutes and me screaming many profanities, I pulled the bullet out and bandaged myself. I quickly wrapped it up, went over to my one captive, and bandaged him up before working on the traps to make sure I didn''t hit them. I gathered the guns and noticed a notification button that I didn''t notice before in my vision in the corner. I mentally clicked it and received several notifications. ¡ª New Trial Unlocked.

I picked up the rifles those guys shot and looked at them. ¡ª Tepid Arms Manufacturing Rifle Version 233 Better known as the TAM Rifle 233, it is a poor rifle used at the fringe by poor organizations and Pirates. The TAM organization hates that these rifles are still being used. Uses 5mm Ammo. ¡ª I grabbed both and put them in a crate, along with a couple of magazines that I found on them. I put them away along with the traps that I dismantled and picked up my prisoner. It was time to see who that woman was and if I could use her. I smirked as I moved. A spaceship of my own to start this game world with. I smirked and began walking down the cave toward the Space ship. Hopefully, whoever that busty blue woman was, she was useful. Chapter 8: Ura Taking this dumbass into the ship was a bit of a pain in the ass. He was a little heavy, and I was still carrying my entire arsenal. I couldn''t give any gun up at the moment, even if I was injured. I still had yet to pick up my handgun, but my mind had been on other things. Quickly I returned to the Medical room and reopened the storage area with the other captive. The naked big tittied blue woman was still there, and when she saw me dumping a guy before her, I saw her looking confused. I stepped inside, grabbed cuffs for the legs and arms, and changed the guy''s cuffs from the wired bondage I had before. I sighed as I completed the job and smiled. I walked back out and heard the woman shout, ¡°Please, don''t leave me!¡± ¡°Gimme a minute,¡± I replied and continued and walked back to the font and gathered my handgun. I put my shotgun back into the holster and walked back into the medical room, and sat down, looking at the woman again. She was attractive, I thought quickly. Her blue skin was much like the others, along with her dark red hair, but without the scales, that mystique had in those very old X-Men movies that I watched with some friends in the past. It was supple, and it looked soft, while her nipples were a light purple. It seemed she was very close to humans, and I wondered what race she was in this game. Her abs were soft but clearly in shape. This woman took care of herself, and that wasn''t something a pirate probably would let happen to a slave. The fact that she was chained and didn''t help them made her a captive, though, and I wondered if they had recently captured this Spaceship from someone else. ¡°So,¡± I began, ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked as my old captive groaned in pain from a ricochet wound that he got during the start of the battle. My arm still sent pangs of pain up my arm, making my eyelid twitch. ¡°I am the captain of this ship,¡± The woman replied before turning meeker, ¡°Or I was until my subordinates turned Pirates,¡± She finished. ¡°Oh?¡± I said clearly, prompting her to continue. ¡°Three days ago, my two subordinates snuck into my room somehow in the middle of the night and chained me up. Beat me, then put me here and accepted those two Hextars onto the ship. They beat me a bit more and were going to sell me when they next reached a pirate starbase,¡± She said. ¡°Interesting,¡± I said before asking, ¡°Why don''t you tell me more about why they hated you?¡± The woman''s face twisted before she sighed, ¡±I LIKE MY SHIPS CLEAN, OKAY!¡± She exclaimed, ¡°I used to be a military woman and ran this ship like it was military. All they had to do was keep a little clean. So what if this is a smuggler''s ship?! Is that any reason not to have the ship clean? Keep everything working properly? I want my ship to run well and clean like a clock. Look at this place!¡± She exclaimed. I looked around and realized something I didn''t notice before. The ship was spotless on the walls, and when I was searching the rooms, it looked like everything had been kept clean. ¡°I made sure that everyone kept the place clean. For three people working, it isn''t hard to keep clean. I didn''t expect that the two members I hired were expecting to live in their own filth and decide to mutiny because of it! After only three jobs, they no longer wanted to be hounded into keeping their rooms clean of filth and ensuring the systems worked perfectly as I hired them to do!¡± The woman was breathing heavily and took a few calming breaths. Watching her get so worked up, I began to laugh, and she glared at me. ¡°What!?¡± She demanded. ¡°That is one of the dumbest reasons I can think of to have a mutiny against you,¡± I told her, looking around, ¡°But it also makes sense,¡± I said, and I decided with a chuckle that I would free this woman. ¡°What do you smuggle?¡± I asked, suddenly turning a bit more serious. ¡°Not always a smuggler, but it is what it is best for.¡± The woman said, ¡°This ship is perfect for small cargoes that are worth a lot. Insurance companies love us for that as well since I have upgraded the slip drive to be extremely fast. Not even Battlecruisers can keep up with this ship. However, we are light on armament. So if they caught us in a trap, we could only try to evade.¡± She admitted and didn''t look happy with that. ¡°But when it comes to speed and hiding cargo, the Little Corvette here, which I named the Taliya, is one of the best.¡± She smiled brightly and bragged about her ship. ¡°Okay,¡± I replied with a small smile, ¡°What will you give me to free you?¡± I asked. The woman looked surprised, then turned serious, and I could see the hope in her eyes. ¡°Fifty percent. That is my final offer. I realized after this that I needed someone who could run and gun with me. You killing four people by yourself means that you can handle yourself. I still need other crewmembers, but if you control half an interest, you will keep them in line for me.¡± The woman smiled, ¡°I would willingly give you these shares, and we can do bounties or shipments to places while making good cash.¡± She finished her pitch. If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Her smile made me smile, and I nodded, ¡°Interesting,¡± I replied and thought about it. If this woman gave me shares of the vessel, I would still be making half the credits or whatever currency she made, even if we went our separate ways. I could even use it to make money in a variety of places in the game world. I couldn''t help but wonder if all tutorials had this offer or something better. Still, being a business-minded woman, I could see all the privileges this gave. Also, I had no idea how to run this ship. I gazed at her and licked my lips, ¡°Okay,¡± I replied and began to look around for the keys. They actually were not far either, as the woman pointed them out. I took them, unlocked her, and she sighed in relief. ¡°Thank the prince,¡± She said, ¡°Oh, By the way, I am Ura Tras¡¯for; please call me Ura.¡± Ura finished, and I shook her hand. ¡°Sleepy Wonder,¡± I replied before I reached around and let my tail pull the other captive over to me, ¡°This here is some bounty I picked up before learning that he had a Datapad full of gun manufacturing tech.¡± I introduced my captive, and Ura looked at me seriously. ¡°Wow, that is worth a lot. No wonder this lot was happy. The Hextars were seriously happy. I overheard while getting a beating from one of them that they found some dumbass to give them something huge. That is something huge too.¡± Ura looked thoughtful a moment later, ¡°Want to copy it and sell it to a bidder out of the system?¡± Ura asked, ¡°I know a couple of companies that would love to get their hands on it. With a proper connection that I have in the black market, we could keep a copy for ourselves and sell it for a high price. However, we can only sell it once to keep our credentials up. We don''t want others to know we kept a copy for ourselves even if we are fast.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked. ¡°Well, the information is kind of useless without someone who can research that tech. As a Rish¡¯an Locktor I am guessing you specialize in something related to guns,¡± Ura said, pointing at my guns. ¡°Probably know how to use it. Sorry but all of you, Rish, love guns more than life. Too bad about your home planet.¡± Ura said, but her tone showed she didn''t care that much. ¡°Still, with you around, we can pretend we don''t have it and sell it a couple of systems away after some time and make some serious cash. That way, we can pick up some big cargo and bring in some real credits. Maybe pick up some talent along the way that we can control a bit more. I am thinking of some expensive slaves, though. Easier to handle, and the threat of death will work better to stop them from mutiny.¡± I looked at the woman still naked in front of me, and I decided to nod. This woman was ruthless, too, and I could see that she wasn''t about to make the same mistake twice. I looked over at the woman again, and my cock started to get a little hard seeing her naked. She might be blue, but I wanted to push her down and see if we were compatible and if the game allowed it. ¡°Very well,¡± I said, ¡°Think you might want to put on some pants or at least panties before I decide to push you down, though. I am starting to get a little turned on by your breasts and pussy being in the open, Ura.¡± I told her frankly, and she looked at me surprised. Her expression darkened, and she looked me up and down. ¡°Well, I am not averse to the idea of being with a Rish¡¯an Locktar. You are a beautiful race, and it seems that you are hiding a package.¡± Ura replied, and my gaze darkened on her. Holy shit, I knew this game was rated for those above eighteen, but I wasn''t expecting that the NPCs would flirt back. My cock instantly got hard since it had been some time in real life since my last relationship. I had had one-night stands here and there but not for the past three months had I had any action. I smirked and looked her up and down again, ¡°Later then,¡± I promised, ¡°I will make sure that you will scream and cum all over my cock,¡± I told her, ¡°For now, let''s clean you up; and we can pick up the things in the cave. I also have a skimmer to bring back,¡± I told her. Ura nodded and smiled, ¡°I look forward to later then,¡± she replied. I smiled, ¡°I do, too; I like a strong woman to push down,¡± I admitted easily, ¡°I love making them putty in my hands,¡± I finished and got up and moved the dumbass into the closet I just pulled Ura from and locked him. ¡°Follow me,¡± I continued, ¡°We can go pick up my supplies and skimmer, and we can bring it back to town. Pick up the credits for his head and,¡± I paused. ¡°What is it?¡± Ura asked. ¡°I get another hundred thousand for him being alive. How much is that Datapad worth?¡± I asked. ¡°Millions in the right hands,¡± Ura replied. ¡°Then I need to kill him,¡± I told her, and I opened up the closet, ¡°Need to make it look less like an execution, though. I can''t have him talking to the authorities after all,¡± I finished with a smile. Understanding showed in Ura¡¯s eyes, and she nodded, ¡°Distasteful business, but¡± Ura shrugged. ¡°Grab your clothes,¡± I told her, much to my disappointment. Her large breasts were probably low-end E cups. I wanted to play with them and have my cock between them. ¡°Let me show you my room then, Sleepy Wonder,¡± Ura replied, ¡°I don''t want you to suspect me at this time. I want to show you around as well.¡± ¡°Show me the way then,¡± I said, and I looked at my captive, tossed him back into the closet, and locked it. ¡°He will be safe there till we are ready for him.¡± Chapter 9: Tour* Ura followed me out of the Medical room, and she guided me toward the entrance of the ship. ¡°This is the best place to start the tour,¡± Ura began, ¡°To the left is the obvious cargo bay. It has some equipment inside and cargo containers.¡± Ura led me inside, shaking her ass back and forth, which was a fine peach ass that, with its blue tinge, made me want to stuff her even more. Showing me the inside, I looked around, and it wasn''t that large, ¡°It has enough room for five generic Cargo containers or two heavy-duty containers. Again, this ship specializes in short hops between far-away systems. Trust me, I have enough customers, and it is why this ship needs to stay at one hundred percent effectiveness,¡± Ura sighed, ¡°If our engines start to lower in effectiveness, then we may take a day or two longer on long hauls. We specialize in speed, and that is unacceptable to many suppliers in emergencies. In the Galaxy, there are a lot.¡± Ura wagged her ass over to a corner and smirked, ¡°Now here is something the inspectors don''t know,¡± Ura continued, ¡°In here,¡± She pushed against a wall that had no seams. Then went to the other side towards the interior ramp but on the cargo bay side. She then pressed against the floor with no seams then walked over to the wall. Then she pressed against the wall looking like it was a passcode, before the wall opened slowly over where the ramp should be. ¡°This is the hidden cargo room. I am the only one who now knows it is here other than you. The two you killed knew of its existence and probably where it was but not how to open it.¡± Ura said with a smile, looking into the hidden Cargo bay. ¡°This cannot fit a single container, but¡± She smiled at me, ¡°Anything inside of it,¡± she pointed at all the drums inside of it currently, ¡°Are very well hidden. This is also the second most expensive part of the ship.¡± Ura boasted, ¡°All the walls are meant to fight the best sensor packages customs in top corporate worlds can bring to the table! I cannot wait to test it.¡± Ura grinned, looking charming as she did so. ¡°What is that in there now?¡± I asked. ¡°That is a questionable cargo, if you will, of Wood Sap from the Elves. They really hate people taking it from their worlds. Have an outright ban of all exports of it too.¡± Ura scoffed, ¡°Those pricks don''t realize how many of their underbelly hate those bans. The Wood Sap from the Elves is explicitly banned from the Hextar''s dominion as it is treated as a drug. It can easily be converted into a moderately addictive drug called TS three-seven-seven. It is difficult to smuggle in, and I will make a couple hundred thousand credits smuggling it in. Easy money with this setup. I actually already smuggled it in when the Mutiny happened, and those two Hextars took over my ship. I couldn''t even find out how to open it since they were a small group. Planned on taking the ship back to headquarters when they learned of the free paycheck here,¡± Ura¡¯s contempt was palpable. ¡°Got greedy,¡± She commented. Ura stepped away and crossed her arms under her breasts, popping them up, and my hard-on was bad as it strained in my pants. Ura was teasing me, and I knew it. Her smile told it all, and I glared at her. ¡°Next area,¡± I said. Ura¡¯s smile was bright, and she pressed the wall, and the hidden cargo bay closed, ¡°We will need to make a pit stop at the Hextar homeworld. I can get a client there easily with my contacts. With you as muscle, they will not try anything this time. Or we kill them if they do,¡± Ura finished. I nodded and followed that ass back to the ramp, ¡°Now, to balance out the ship, we have on the right into the crew area. Immediately on the left is the weapons system¡¯s.¡± Ura turned to me, ¡°Yes, they are right at the front of the ship. This is not a ship meant to fight and cannot afford to have the redundancy of larger ship classes. Our biggest strength is speed. Follow me,¡± Ura continued, and a bulkhead opened, and Ura smiled, ¡°This is the bridge,¡± She said, motioning at all the consoles, ¡°It can be run by one person, but this ship isn''t made for that in reality. Too much to do, and we need engine and life support specialists. Spaceships will always need engineers, and I am better at business and piloting. I love flying; big hobby I got from the military when I was a pilot there.¡± Ura explained. ¡°Good to hear we can leave if needed,¡± I replied. ¡°Yes, I should still have contracts and insurance from my last job,¡± Ura sighed, ¡°Good thing I purchased an expensive ship like this with my remaining funds. Not going to lie; I still have a little debt to pay off on this ship. We will need to pay that off. Luckily I had enough credits in my account for the last payment. But I still have a couple of years on it. This type of ship and all the upgrades were expensive, to say the least,¡± Ura said. I frowned and realized that meant I would have to help pitch in as half shareholder if she did so. I wasn''t sure if it was a good move. But it was the choice I had already made. ¡°I think you are going to like the next room, though,¡± Ura suddenly said, earning my attention, ¡°Next is workshop, complete with lots of powertools to make custom parts,¡± Ura said opening the door. ¡°As a Rish, I am sure you will love it in here,¡± Ura continued, ¡°Now, these are not the best machines by any means, but they can craft parts for the spaceship and make guns and other things you want to make. I have some parts here but not much,¡± Ura said, turning to me, ¡°I was planning on getting someone here eventually, but funds didn''t allow me,¡± She admitted, and I nodded. ¡°Next is the medical bay with a slave punishment compartment,¡± She said, pointing to where we put the prisoner. ¡°Really, that is what that compartment is for?¡± I asked. ¡°Yep,¡± Ura replied before shrugging, ¡°I am a smuggler and that lining there is for prisoners,¡± She commented, ¡°When they are being bad, they go in there and will be brought back to the hidden cargo bay. It is best to separate problems from others if they are causing too much ruckus. Anyways, that tank has a healing pod which I wish I could take a dip in, but the fluid for it is expensive. Only for life-saving injuries that the person will die from. I only have enough fluid for two right now because it helps for insurance purposes.¡± Ura commented before closing the medical bay to the last door which split into two directions. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°To the left, here are the crew quarters, and to the right is the engine room with the most armor and also helps hide the hidden cargo room. We are kind of stacked atop each other with a ladder up and over the engine. I ran out of room in the small ship, so I stacked the crew quarters above the medical bay and the workshop, and the kitchen is here at the top of the ladder.¡± She said, bringing me up. The kitchen was small, and there was an oven and stove, along with a large walk-in fridge and freezer. ¡°We need the supplies to be large, and there is enough space in that fridge and freezer to fit enough food for five for a month. We cannot take longer voyages than that without a pit stop. This is a fast hauler, so you would be surprised at the distance that gives us,¡± Ura said. I looked around and noticed the handrails around the ladder to stop people from falling down into the ladder area. To the left of the ladder, I saw some quarters you would have to duck into to get in with a bed. ¡°All bedrooms have double mattresses and a little room for you to hang out lying down.¡± Then Ura smiled, ¡°Or have someone on top,¡± She commented before continuing, ¡°Five bedrooms, though, and they are not the most comfortable.¡± I looked, and four of the bedrooms were a mess, and I saw Ura scoff, ¡°Dead so that they could make a mess without me hounding them to clean it up.¡± Ura commented, and I laughed. ¡°Tight living, but I can deal with it,¡± I said honestly. ¡°Good, because I can''t do better. This ship is meant for speed; hopefully, one day, I can make enough to purchase something larger. But Cargo and bounties are what this ship excels at, and you are a Bounty hunter, and I am a businesswoman. I think we can have a very profitable endeavor together,¡± Ura said, leaning back on the counter, and I smirked. I pulled off my sniper rifle and loosened my belt while she looked at the ship. I could see the bruises from where she was beaten, and I didn''t care. She had been teasing me, and as I set my sniper rifle to the side, my belt loosened up enough that I pushed my pants to the floor just as Ura noticed. My cock throbbed with need, and I closed the distance. ¡°Do you think I wouldn''t notice you teasing me, Ura?¡± I asked as I appeared before her. ¡°W- what do you mean?¡± Ura asked, her voice coy. My hand cupped her breast, and I pressed my cock against her stomach as I pinned her to the counter. ¡°I mean,¡± I began getting closer as she laid back, her breath hitching up a notch as I got closer to her. ¡°You have been wagging that naked ass in front of me for the last hour, getting a rise out of me. You have been showing off those large breasts teasing me, and looking at my cock. I know you want me to pin you down and have my way with you,¡± I told her, and her breathing paused for a moment as my finger flicked her nipple, which instantly turned hard while my other hand reached for her throat. ¡°You are going to be fucked hard by me now,¡± I told her, ¡°You will love it, and cum all over my cock, and the only thing that will get me to stop is the words, Red Light.¡± I told her the safe word, ¡°If you don''t say those two words, I will take everything from this moment on as consent. Is that understood, Ura?¡± Ura''s purple nipples hitched a breath enticingly, and her nipples were hard as a rock as they pressed against my leather shirt. I slowly tightened my grip on her throat, and she gasped lightly, ¡°Yes,¡± Ura said finally, her breath hitching, ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°Good,¡± I finished, and I kissed her and invaded her mouth while my grip on her breasts tightened, making her breast conform to my hand. Her breathing hitched again as I must have hit a bruise. I didn''t care as my cock throbbed against her abdomen. My kiss deepened, her mouth moved with mine, and her tongue quickly entered my mouth. The tongue was long, and I was a little surprised as her tongue wrapped around mine three or four times. It felt good, though, and I allowed her to lick my tongue with her own as she moaned while I roughly played with her breast. Quickly I let go of her breast, and my hand moved down and pulled her leg up onto the counter, where I learned that she was flexible, only turning to the side slightly. I pulled my hips back and pressed my cock against the slit of what I believed to be her cunt. Her hand slid down and touched my cock, and she gasped as I hit something on the way down; she pressed my cock to her pussy hole, I assumed. It was a little farther down than I expected, but her pussy was dripping with fluids, and I shoved my cock up into that hole she presented. Ura moaned as I shoved my cock into this moist hole that quickly gripped me in a way that no human pussy could. It was like it was an auto milker or something as it sucked me in deeper, and each fold seemed to suck on me. I pulled my head back and cursed, ¡°Fuck!¡± Ura¡¯s pussy sucked on me in every direction. I couldn''t help but moan a second later, and I drove my cock in deep, hitting something inside of her. ¡°OH! SO DEEP!¡± Ura cried out. I didn''t stop, and I began to pull out and thrust into her, and I tightened my grip on her neck. She began to choke, and her arms reached up to her neck as I began to fuck her pussy in earnest as it sucked me off in so many ways that I had no idea what was happening. My one hand gripped her throat while the other held up her leg against the counter, helping me thrust in and out of her pussy harder. Ura Wordless looked at me, her eyes glazing over before I let go, and she took a sudden breath and leaned back. Her large breasts stuck out, and I slapped them hard, somehow making her pussy not only tighten but make it even harder to thrust as her pussy sucked on me even harder. I wasn''t about to let that stop me as I pounded whatever I was hitting deep inside her, which was probably the equivalent of a cervix or a womb. ¡°FUCK ME!¡± Ura suddenly cried out, ¡°CUMMING!¡± I heard her a second later, and I felt her body trembling, and suddenly, a clear pink liquid sprayed from her pussy as I pounded her. Her pussy trembled inside her and I moaned loudly as I reached my peak. I grunted before moaning as I ejaculated deep into this Alien babe that I didn''t know the species of. I leaned forward as she leaned back and face-planted my face into her cleavage as my hips gyrated inside her while her pussy sucked the cum out of my cock. We both moaned for a minute while my ejaculation came to an end. I held her, and she held me, and we slowly pulled back and looked at each other. Moments turned to seconds before we kissed a little, and silence reigned for a moment before I pulled back. I looked down, and I had a light pink liquid all over my cock while a white fluid dripped from her cunt. I smiled as I noticed she didn''t take any of my guns while we fucked, and I grinned, ¡°Where is the shower?¡± I asked. Ura laughed, and I stripped as she pointed the way for another round. Chapter 10: Dead men tell no Tales Finishing inside Ura, I sighed in pleasure as she came all over me. I felt a little weird about her cumming being a light pink instead of clear, but I chalked it up to her being an alien. I stepped out after using a powder to wash ourselves off, and Ura went and got dressed. I went back to the kitchen while she found clothes, and I got my arsenal together. I smirked as Ura came out in a black jumpsuit with a T over her right breast. The jumpsuit showed off her cleavage; she perfectly left it a little unzipped for me to see. I could see a little darker hue of blue on her cheeks as she looked at me. ¡°That was great sex,¡± Ura said as she crawled out of the bedroom. ¡°This is all that left clean by those assholes. I will need to clean, and I can show you where the cleaning stuff is.¡± She said as she stepped down into the kitchen area. I quickly followed her down the ladder, then she turned around, pushed up the ladder, and opened a door where a washer and dryer were. ¡°I know this is like everything is on top of you, and there was a lot of space in space. I can tell you, though, that this was the largest I could make it without diminishing returns.¡± Ura told me, ¡°I wish I could have more headroom in the bedroom; it makes it easier to clean and to have some private time. I bought the most expensive engine I could, and we needed to keep our speed. I had a diminishing return somewhere, and everything else is critical.¡± ¡°Makes sense,¡± I replied, thinking about when I lived in an apartment with four others. This wasn''t the first time, and I chuckled, ¡°I am not perfect at cleaning, though. You take care of that for me, and I will reward you with plenty of mindblowing sex,¡± I replied. Ura froze, and her cheeks turned a dark blue, and she nodded, ¡°Okay,¡± She said, and I followed her to the exit ramp, ¡°That is a deal to me.¡± She finished, and I followed her out of the spaceship. Ura walked down and stretched her body, her breasts threatening to break out of the black jumpsuit as she did so. ¡°Desert planet and not too far from Hextar territory. It must be Penvora, Rich in resources but a planet that I wouldn''t have much to do with unless it was a weapons manufacturer with an emergency order to send out. Don''t have many contacts here personally,¡± Ura said. I looked at her and shrugged, ¡°Well, for now,¡± I said, pointing towards the skimmer, ¡°We have a couple of crates of stuff I looted from the dumbass inside the spaceship. We can bring it onboard then I will shoot him with my sniper in a way that makes it look long distance. I want to make it look like he already contacted the pirates when I arrived.¡± I finished and looked into the sky, seeing the sun setting. ¡°Well,¡± Ura said, moving along towards the skimmer, ¡°I have space for the Skimmer so why not take it back aboard the ship and dock in the nearby town? Saves us a lot of trouble, then we can directly resupply and leave,¡± Ura then looked in the sky, ¡°Sun¡¯s setting though, so we should be quick,¡± she finished. I nodded, and we walked together. Ura walked in front of me. Her ass looked amazing as she walked through the desert. It wasn''t a long walk before we made it to the skimmer. I showed her into the cave and showed her to the base camp. After a couple of minutes, she was scrounging through the supplies, ¡°Oh, some nice parts for the workshop but not too much. We can also save some credits on food, Sleepy Wonder.¡± Ura commented as I looked for something to help move the crates. I found nothing, so I picked up the crate full of parts. I grunted, picked it up, and slowly moved down the cave again. ¡°You''re just going to pick it up?¡± Ura said, ¡°Why not just go pick up a cargo lift back in the spaceship?¡± Looking at me, she said, ¡°We can just do everything at once. Pick up your prisoner and kill him and pick up the cargo. Do it all at once in one trip,¡± Ura finished, and I turned and glared at her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that at first?¡± I asked. Ura looked away and started to chuckle, ¡°Sorry, I thought you saw them in the cargo bay. I have one for delivering cargo. It should be enough for picking this up.¡± Ura said, motioning to what we had, ¡°Kind of pitiful for supplies, and we should pick up some, but,¡± Ura shrugged, ¡°The Hextars homeworld isn''t too far from here, and with the Elven Tree Sap, we can make some credits there, and the prices of basic goods will be lower.¡± ¡°Sound argument,¡± I said, looked down at the crate, and shrugged. I lifted it onto my shoulder and motioned for her, ¡°May as well get a slight workout.¡± My comment made Ura mutter something under her breath as she looked me up and down, and I could tell she was checking me out. Ever since I pounded her twice in the shower without stopping, her expression toward me had been different. Now I could feel her eyes on me as I walked with the crate on the shoulder opposite my sniper. It didn''t take long for us to go back, and I took the supplies I brought into the workshop since that was where they were to go. I headed then with Ura to the cargo bay, where it opened up to the desert, and she looked around. ¡°The sand will be a pain in the ass to clean later,¡± She commented before grabbing the lift. I headed back inside to grab the dumbass from the medical room, and I brought him out on my shoulder and had Ura looking at me as I did so. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Come on,¡± Ura motioned, ¡°We don''t have long before nightfall; we need to wrap this up quickly!¡± She shouted. I walked beside her and dumped the guy on a dune, where he groaned and looked at me for sympathy. ¡°Hey, I can help you,¡± He said. ¡°I can be a crew member of your ship,¡± He pleaded, ¡°I don''t need money; just let me live, please,¡± he said. I looked down at him, he was shackled, but he could still run. I pursed my lips and smiled. ¡°Look, I might shoot you, or I might not. If you stand here and show that you can follow orders even if it might mean your death instead of running, then I might recruit you. I don''t know yet,¡± I told him and walked away with Ura. Heading into the cave, I walked ahead of Ura as she looked at me. ¡°You going to spare someone like that?¡± Her expression was hard to decipher. ¡°Nope,¡± I told her, ¡°Knows too much, and he has betrayed his last employers. Who knows if he will be with us down the road? Again, he knows too much.¡± I told her and walked past the camp as Ura looked at me with fascination, respect, and something else I didn''t know. I walked up to the cave mouth and looked down to see the dumbass standing there as I put my rifle down on the ground. I looked down at the man, and I could see tears in his eyes. ¡°They made these NPCs really realistic. Even in the tutorial, the power and computer support are insane,¡± I commented under my breath as I lined up the shot. The man was standing there shaking, and I could see it all in the scope. Each desperate breath hoping it wasn''t going to be his last, and the shaking of the chains as he trembled. My finger slowly moved to the trigger feeling the perfect metal with my fingers in sensual delight as I finished lining up the shot and held my breath. My fingers pressed against the trigger as my ears pressed against my head, and the rifle fired hitting the man in the chest and heart, killing him instantly as a hole appeared where there should have been a heart. A notification icon showed, and I opened it. ¡ª- New Trait unlocked. Ruthless Dead men tell no tales; your enemies are finite if no one knows who killed them. ¡ª I watched through the scope as the shot didn''t quite hit where I wanted it to. Betrayers like that fucker deserved what they got, in my opinion, and I watched the blood soak into the desert sands. I got up and slung the sniper back onto my back. I let my ears come back up and saw Ura just finishing the job, and she looked at me. She saw that I didn''t look affected, and I saw even more respect in her gaze toward me, and I added another notch to my respect for the game developers. This almost felt like real life, and I purposefully moved my tail around to get some more feel for it. I almost hit the only lamp when I did and grimaced in distaste. ¡°All is dealt with,¡± I said before helping Ura with the last of the things and putting them on the lift. We walked down together, and I retrieved the cuffs and the body putting it in the trunk of the skimmer before I drove it over to the spaceship. We spent the last minutes of nightfall packing everything up and double-checking that we had gathered everything. I smiled with happiness as I put it all on the ship, the cargo container lifted back up, and we left the rough landing pad as we didn''t need it. We secured the cargo and locked everything down, letting the skimmer land on the floor and secure itself for delivery. I moved out of the way and let Ura deal with it quickly before she closed the ramp, and I followed her. She smiled and shook her booty a bit in my face as the lift closed. ¡°Cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to be taking off again as the helmsman. I thought I was going to be a slave for the rest of my life,¡± Ura said as she brought me to the bridge. ¡°Did I say thank you for that?¡± She asked. ¡°Not sure,¡± I told her honestly, as I found myself leaning back, ¡°Still, Time to go back to that shit town so I can collect a bounty,¡± I told her. ¡°Yes, Yes,¡± Ura said and started to press buttons. ¡°Looks like the pirates downloaded the local locations, and I can see a town roughly a twenty-minute flight. It even has a small spaceport for me to land in. I am sending credentials, and,¡± Ura paused and grinned, ¡°YES! My baby hasn''t been marked pirate yet!¡± She exclaimed, ¡°That makes this all so much easier! Only three days, and they haven''t done something stupid enough to get caught!¡± Ura continued happily, ¡°Just taking off now. Hold onto something as the thrusters lift us off the planet and the counter grav plates initiate.¡± Ura warned. I held onto a console with no railing above the console, and the world tilted a little as thruster flared a couple of seconds later, the world righted itself, and the floor no longer shook. ¡°Counter grav initiated,¡± Ura was smiling as suddenly the ship jolted forward, ¡°Boom!¡± Ura exclaimed, ¡°We are on our way,¡± She continued happily, turning to me, ¡°I didn''t think I would get to fly it again. I am kind of riding a high right now.¡± I nodded and shook myself a little, ¡°Good to see you happy,¡± I told her, watching the screen in front of us as we went over the dunes. We moved much faster than a skimmer, and Ura was flying her attention back to the console. Deciding against distracting her, I watched as soon the town came into view, and she began to talk to the port. We were given a bay, and soon Ura parked us there from our short flight. Quickly Ura turned to me with a bright white smile with her blue skin. ¡°Damn, I am happy right now,¡± She said, coming over to me. I patted her on the head, much to her surprise, and I turned. ¡°I need to go see a lizard about some pay,¡± I told her, and I saw her watching me as I turned to the cargo bay, ¡°Also, we cannot keep the Skimmer. It is the bounty offices, I believe,¡± I told her, and I headed to the cargo bay, ¡°Come with me,¡± I said, ¡°Lock up the ship, and we can take some time after to see if there is something here to ship to the Hextar homeworld. I continued, " may as well have something instead of nothing,¡± and Ura chuckled. ¡°Sure,¡± She replied, following me and, moments later, locking up the ship before jumping into the skimmer and heading to the Bounty office. Galaxy Hunter Chapter 11: Contract Ura was in the passenger seat, and I followed the GPS to the bounty office with a dead body in the trunk of the car. I left the Datapad in the spaceship. We made sure to leave it in the Hidden Cargo bay with the Elven Tree Sap. It was best left in the safest part of the ship, and Ura was looking around happily, ¡°I cannot believe how happy I am to be in a shit town like this in bum fuck nowhere.¡± Ura said, ¡°Dunno how you made a living as a bounty hunter here.¡± Driving, I didn''t answer, but I couldn''t help but agree with her. There weren''t many people, but something told me that the dumbfuck in the trunk wasn''t the first engineer that stole something and ran. It wasn''t going to be my problem soon as we reached the office, and I pulled in and parked the skimmer where I had found it before. ¡°We are going to have to walk back,¡± I told Ura, and she nodded. ¡°Expected as much,¡± She replied, and I grabbed the keys, got out of the skimmer, and opened up the trunk. I picked up the dead body and heaved it onto my shoulder easily. I looked around as I walked and thanked the heavens that I had a good strength stat. With the number of weapons I was carrying, I would be hard-pressed to carry around a lot if I didn''t. I walked around the building with Ura following me before I turned to her. ¡°Say nothing,¡± I told her flatly, ¡°Play by ear and collaborate on my story if you have to,¡± I finished, not insulting her intelligence before opening the door. I was greeted by a sleepy and angry expression on Richard''s as I brought in the body. ¡°Took you fucking long enough, Cat.¡± He cursed, ¡°Boss wants to see you; disappointed you took so long,¡± Richard said, still holding a grudge. ¡°Okay, Lead the way, Dick,¡± I said blandly, and Richard snarled. ¡°Fucking lying, Cat,¡± Richard snarled, turning away and ignoring Ura. I followed along into the base with the dead body on my arm. We walked in and the Lizard I saw much earlier this morning was there looking at me as I entered. ¡°Sleepy Wonder,¡± The Lizard said as I entered, ¡°I was disappointed how long you took to complete this bounty,¡± He said as he looked at Ura. ¡°Who is the Polira?¡± He said, motioning to Ura. ¡°Woman I saved from Slavery,¡± I said flatly as I dropped the dead body in front of his desk, as he looked back at me. ¡°Found that this guy had sent out a signal for backup. Two ships came down, although I think he was only expecting one,¡± I said. ¡°Saw him, and I punched a hole through his chest. I went into a gunfight with two Hextars and two Polira,¡± I continued blandly, ¡°Killed the two Hextars and the two Polira while the other spaceship dipped. I didn''t have any weaponry for the spaceship that fled, so I didn''t try to take it down. I got onto the ship, left behind on a rough landing pad, and entered inside. Found this little Polira who just so happened to be the old captain of the ship and a capable helmsman.¡± I continued my Voice flat as if it was nothing at all. ¡°Rescued her and used the spaceship to bring back the skimmer and the body. I left the Pirates at the scene and came over with the bounty.¡± I finished, and my boss looked at me for several moments. ¡°Sleepy Wonder,¡± He said after a few moments, ¡°You have never made me want to question your story before, so I won''t now. So I have a question, though. Did you see a Datapad?¡± He asked. ¡°A company that set the bounty is looking for it, and it comes with a hundred thousand Federation Credit bonus. Did you find it?¡± ¡°A data pad?¡± I asked and shook my head, ¡°I found some boxes of parts and rations. A couple of blueprints for traps that I learned and the blueprint for the Rough landing pad and transmitter. I also grabbed some shitty assault rifles. I don''t remember a data pad, though,¡± I said, turning to Ura. ¡°You see one?¡± I asked before turning back to the Lizard. ¡°W-When I was helping you load,¡± Ura stuttered, sounding a little more hurt, ¡°I d-d-didn''t see it,¡± She shook her head, and I turned back. ¡°No datapad,¡± I said, shrugging, my tone casual, ¡°Maybe the other spaceship took it?¡± The lizard''s eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to spit. ¡°Fuck! I was hoping you had it,¡± The lizard cursed. ¡°The Corporation is on my heels about it. They never fucking said anything in their bounty until you had already left. I will message them,¡± He said. ¡°Don''t go too far,¡± The Lizard said, and I nodded. ¡°I will leave the corpse with you,¡± I said, getting up and motioning for Ura to follow me. We both walked out, and I headed to the room I had started in. I quickly gathered my stuff and collected my tools while Ura sat on my bed. ¡°Got a bag?¡± She asked, and I pointed to the bed sheet. She scoffed but shrugged as Richard came to the door. ¡°Sleepy Wonder, What are you doing?¡± Richard asked. ¡°Packing,¡± I told him. ¡°This Ura bitch taking you off the world?¡± He asked, his tone changing. ¡°Not your business,¡± I replied. ¡°No, but it is the Bosses,¡± Richard said, leaving. ¡°He hates you,¡± Ura said matter-of-factly. ¡°His problem,¡± I replied. ¡°Maybe ours soon,¡± Ura replied. I looked at her, and I grimaced. I didn''t think about the background of my Character. Maybe I had something over my head that I didn''t know, and that might be a problem with leaving. I shrugged, continued packing, and soon found a large duffel bag under the mattress, so I didn''t need to use the sheets. I began packing everything in the bag when Richard came back with a smile. ¡°Boss isn''t happy, Cat,¡± He said with a grin, ¡°Wants to talk, Now.¡± He finished. I nodded, finished packing up my duffel bag, and double-checked everything before turning and walking with Ura back to the office with all my stuff and tools in my room. The body was still there, and I placed my stuff to the side and put my sniper next to it, watching the Lizard when I came into the room. ¡°Sleepy Wonder. Are you trying to escape your contract with us?¡± He asked, and I looked at him uncaringly. ¡°Show me the contract,¡± I said, and the Lizard scoffed. ¡°You are under me for at least another year,¡± The lizard said, and I looked at him. ¡°Show me the contract,¡± I replied simply, ¡°I have found no record of that contract among my stuff, and so I want to see my fingerprint or signature on a contract that I have signed,¡± I told him simply with a flat tone and the lizard looked at me deeply. ¡°I don''t have it here,¡¯ He replied. ¡°Then show me the exact copy of it,¡± I told him, my voice turning vaguely hostile, and Ura watched me. I stared at the Lizard boss in front of me as before he growled. ¡°Fine,¡± He said and stood. He walked over to a cabinet and brought forward a data pad, and placed it in front of me. ¡°Sleepy Wonder, You make a good amount of Credits bounty hunting here,¡± The Lizard continued, ¡°We even give you parts to mess around with and make guns. Why do you want to leave?¡± He asked. I ignored him and opened up the data pad and noticed a Notification Icon. ¡ª This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. Datapad with Personal Employment Contract. A contract binding you to the Penvora Bounty Hunter office. ¡ª I looked through the contract and frowned as I looked through it. I scoffed as I looked at the time stamp, and it seemed this Tutorial wasn''t over yet. I found a clause at the end that bound me here till either I paid a ridiculous sum of over a million federation credits. Worse, if I was looking at the amount of time I would need to spend here to time out the contract, it was at least another six months. This gave me fifty percent of each bounty, but I didn''t have to be here during that time. Any tools they gave me to keep me happy were my own, including equipment. Looking over this contract, I could tell that the person I was before taking over this body was desperate to get work. They were technically inclined but needed parts and credits to make the weapons. This contract was perfect for such a person, and I would probably time out in six months without an issue and move on with life. That would be perfect if it wouldn''t handicap me in the game world right after leaving. This was a tutorial, but I wasn''t in a rush to leave. I looked it over again with a slightly different mindset and came to some fun discoveries. There was no clause that I had to do a bounty every month, and it was only that I had to stay within reasonable contact with the boss. There was nothing that I had to stay on the planet or that the bounties I had to do were on the planet. This was intriguing, and I also found that I had relative freedom on which bounties I took so that I didn''t take something that would kill me. All very interesting notes in the contract. That means that if I wanted to, I could stay in the tutorial for Six months if the tutorial was breaking out of it. I could simply pay fifty percent of all earnings I made on bounties that I made out planet to the Pervona Bounty Office. That meant for six months; I would be paying the Pervona Bounty office in order to stay in the Tutorial world if that is what was keeping me here. I did not know what was keeping me in the tutorial, though. Was this already the game world, or did I have to log out? There were questions on that, and I frowned. I had been in the pod for four hours, and I would need to eat in real life soon and get some good sleep along with some time to stretch my muscles. I had an elliptical in my apartment to get some movement in for at least a half hour with some weights. But I also had to make sure I did a sleep stream tonight for at least six hours. I loved making money while I slept and knew I would be sleepy when I awoke. I was already starting to feel sleepy, which meant that I should deal with this lizard and head back to the spaceship with a clear plan. ¡°I don''t see anything in this contract that I have signed that says that I cannot leave,¡± I told the Lizard, surprising him. ¡°I see that for all bounties I take, I have to pay you half for at least the next six months. There is nothing in here that says that I have to be on base or in the office. Even says that I can feel free to turn down priority ones if I feel that they are a risk to my health. I can just choose to make all bounties you hand me in total too dangerous because you may want to retaliate against me. Again, all I have to do is pay fifty percent of all bounties to you that I do regardless of where I am in the galaxy,¡± I told him, my voice flat, and Ura looked at me surprised, as did the Lizard. I took the contract and handed it to Ura, and she began to look it over. ¡°What?!¡± The Lizard said and pulled out the contract himself, and slowly I saw that his face was drained of color as he read it himself. ¡°YOU HAVE THE OLD CONTRACT!¡± He exclaimed. ¡°That is the contract I signed with my fingerprint on it, it seems,¡± I replied, ¡°The one you initially said you didn''t have when I asked for it. Seems I will be leaving, and I will pay out any bounties in the next six months to you.¡± I finished with a smile reaching down to my bags. ¡°I have a bounty for you,¡± The Lizard suddenly exclaimed. ¡°I will transfer the Credits to your account, and you do this last bounty for me. The Bounty is a million credits. I keep that, and you can leave!¡± He said, his tone desperate. I frowned, looking at him, ¡°Are you threatening not to pay me if I don''t do this bounty?¡± I asked; this time, I reached for my shotgun instead of reaching toward my bags. ¡°What are you doing?¡± The lizard asked, alarmed. ¡°You will pay me now for my last bounty,¡± I said, kicking the corpse at my feet, ¡°Or we will have other issues,¡± I told him. ¡°You,¡± The Lizard paused, looking at me, and growled. He turned to his computer, and I received a notification. I pulled it up quickly and saw the transaction. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:202200 ¡ª- I nodded, pulled my hand back from my shotgun, and leaned back. ¡°You should know me by now,¡± I said seriously, ¡°Threats to what is mine will be met with hostility.¡± ¡°I am aware,¡± He snarled. ¡°The bounty is for Dane and his henchmen in Twirling Canyon,¡± He said, and I laughed as he finished. He realized as he turned to look at me I was laughing in a mocking way at him. ¡°What?!¡± He shouted, losing his cool. ¡°I will time my contract out,¡± I told him seriously, ¡°Or I will pay it off with the penalty when I wish,¡± I continued. ¡°For now,¡± I stood, keeping the original of my agreement. ¡°I will be leaving. I will pay you fifty percent when I can. Thanks for the help in the past. I would rather not ruin our relationship.¡± The Lizard opened his mouth when a sudden buzz happened, and he turned to his computer. ¡°What is it?¡± He asked. ¡°Is your Bounty hunter still there?¡± The other person asked. ¡°Yes,¡± the lizard said, turning to me, ¡°Sleepy Wonder, someone wants to talk to you,¡± He said. I rolled my eyes, and he turned the Monitor to me. It had the head of someone attractive. A sharp-looking man that was handsome. His black suit made him a talking head I dated once and learned that he was a terrible boyfriend that was never around. With my sex drive, that made him next to useless. ¡°Sleepy Wonder is your name?¡± The talking head asked. ¡°It is,¡± I replied. ¡°Did you happen to come across a Datapad when you were claiming your bounty?¡± He asked. ¡°No,¡± I replied. ¡°Do you mind if we check?¡± He asked, and I shrugged. ¡°I was planning on leaving the planet soon, so sure.¡± I replied, ¡°Don''t want you thinking I have it. Since you are taking it so seriously, I am sure there must be something important about it.¡± I replied, and the guy nodded. ¡°You are right,¡± He said, ¡°I won''t go into details, but it can be very bad in the wrong hands. We received a brief from your boss, so we only need to check the spaceship and you for it. Is that acceptable?¡± ¡°No,¡± I told him, and he showed a surprised expression, ¡°But I will allow you to do it. I just don''t like you snooping through my things.¡± I told him, and he nodded in understanding. ¡°Also, remember,¡± I said, ¡°I just took it back from Pirates. Some of the stuff on the ship isn''t ours.¡± I finished. ¡°The ship says it belongs to an Ura?¡± The man said, looking away from the screen. ¡°She is with me,¡± I replied, ¡°Saved her from the Pirates when I was taking your bounty.¡± ¡°Very good,¡± He said with a smile, ¡°Still, we need to check the ship, but we understand that it was just taken back from pirates. I will make a note to authorities on that as well.¡± He said, and I nodded. ¡±Thank you,¡± I said and turned to Ura. ¡°Ura, let us go and meet them at the ship,¡± I told him and grabbed my things without looking back at the angry boss I was leaving behind. Ura was smiling as she followed me out, and I saw the gloating expression of Richards up until the moment I didn''t walk back down the hall to my room. Instead, I walked out of the Bounty office, not to grace those walls with my presence anymore. ¡°Let us walk back first, then plan from there,¡± I said, and Ura nodded. ¡°They were pissed that you were not paying them off or doing their contract. I am not sure which,¡± She said. ¡°I think I wasn''t making the full Bounty amount,¡± I told her, ¡°Either way, I will pay them off on my own time. I want to see if the grass is greener on the solo side first.¡± ¡°Makes sense. I will also transfer your shares soon for the ship.¡± Ura said. I nodded, and we walked in the night back toward the ship. Ura cuddled up to me as we walked. I noticed the Notification in the corner of my screen and opened them up. ¡ª- New Trait unlocked: Contract bound. I''m not stuck with you. You are stuck with me. ¡ª- ¡ª- New Trait unlocked: Stubborn Negotiator. I take it all, and you get nothing. ¡ª- ¡ª- New Trait Unlocked: Reasoned Negotiator. My terms are within the binds of the Contract. I''m not breaking it, Are you? ¡ª- They were odd, but I smiled. I wondered if traits were good or bad. Either way, I felt like I should want more, not less. My guess could always be wrong. Just like I hoped that if I logged out, I wouldn''t lose the Tutorial I had been working in. My mind raced with plans as I walked in silence back to the spaceship with Ura. Chapter 12: Sleeping to Work The walk was a little long with a large duffel bag and a sniper rifle. My arm was starting to get a little tired, and we walked together as Ura stayed close to me the entire time. Walking down dusty roads as the desert night started to cool everything down. It was a dark night, and we walked in silence with a few skimmers driving by from time to time. It wasn''t too long in this small town for us to reach the Spaceport where Ura¡¯s ship was. We walked up and saw a group of men in armor and guns strapped to their backs waiting for us, with one person looking different from the rest. It was the talking head I saw at the Bounty office before. We slowly walked the distance, and the talking head noticed I saw his entire suit now, so he wasn''t just a talking head. He still looked handsome with sharp features, and the five o¡¯clock shadow on his face made him look really good. I hated the type after my first boyfriend, who looked really similar to him in so many ways, hurt me in real life. I looked at him without that hate in my eyes, and he crossed the distance to us with only one of the armored men following him as Ura, and I stopped. ¡°Sleepy Wonder and Ura?¡± He asked. We both nodded, and his smile turned wry, ¡°Sorry for doing this, But the information on that datapad is too important. We simply cannot shut down any avenue to collect it. If you have it and we let it slip,¡± He shrugged, ¡°I would be dead.¡± Shrugging myself, I put down my duffel bag and laid it in front of him. ¡°Go ahead and look,¡± I told him, ¡°I have nothing to hide, and Ura doesn''t really have pockets at the moment,¡± I said, looking at her. Ura, in her jumpsuit, really didn''t have pockets, so he looked her up and down and snapped his fingers. The man''s helmet behind him flashed back, and it was a woman with long brunette hair, ¡°Ma¡¯am, I am just going to pat you down; then quickly, can I request that you open the Ship so we can inspect it?¡± The soldier asked, and Ura nodded. Quickly the woman pats her down Ura taking a little time around her breasts to make sure before stepping back. ¡°Sorry about that,¡± the soldier said and motioned to the spaceship. Ura nodded to me and went over to open up the ship while the suit guy began to search my bags while the soldier came over to me. ¡°Ma¡¯am?¡± she asked to search me, and I nodded. ¡°Go ahead,¡± I told her before smirking, ¡°Be careful of all the guns I am packing,¡± I told her, and she nodded. Quickly she began searching my pockets that had ammo and my holster with more ammo. My search took much more time, and she found some ammo in a bra slot I had that could hold five sniper rounds. She continued to find more things and even found some blueprints I took from the bounty. She took five minutes, and the other soldiers already went into the ship to search. I patiently watched as the suit guy looked into my bag, finding a Datapad that was in my room that I found at the Bounty office. Still, they were being very careful, and I began to wonder what was on that Datapad. I couldn''t wait to open it up and find out the secrets, so I patiently felt the woman soldier now feeling up my cock with an expression that showed confusion. ¡°If you keep going on that, I am going to have to ask you to take care of the consequences,¡± I told her. Her expression changed rapidly, and a blush appeared on her face as she realized she had almost been giving me a handjob at this point. She pulled back only for a moment before she continued, and I couldn''t help but ask, ¡°So where are you going after this? I wouldn''t mind inviting you for dinner to make up things here,¡± My smile was charming, and her blush was deep. Still, she broke off and stepped away, ¡°Nothing other than typical Bounty hunter arsenal you would see on a Rish¡¯ boss.¡± She said, her blush still apparent. ¡°Okay,¡± He said as he stood up, ¡°Let''s join them on the ship?¡± He said it like a question at the end, but it was an invitation to join him, so I didn''t disappear. I followed him up the ramp into the ship and heard Ura shouting. ¡°Don''t break anything! That isn''t ours. We haven''t had a moment to clean up the place!¡± Ura shouted again, and I walked over to her as the soldiers searched the place. Ura sighed, and we watched them make the mess bigger than it had been. Still, they returned negatives for everything, including on the engine, and the soldiers came up to the suit guy. ¡°Boss, it''s not here,¡± A man''s voice came out of the helmet. ¡°Okay,¡± He said, looking defeated; he turned to me, ¡°Thank you for your patience and for taking on our bounty. It is too bad you didn''t find the data pad.¡± He finished, ¡°I wish you luck,¡± He said a moment later, ¡°Come on, we need to hurry and find out the departures and see if anyone noticed that Pirate ship leaving system!¡± The soldiers streamed out, and we both sighed together as we closed up the ship. ¡°Time to search the place and see if they broke anything,¡± Ura said before walking near the hidden cargo bay. She pressed a couple of buttons, and a device shot out. ¡°This is for finding spy devices. Don''t remove any yet.¡± Ura whispered, and she began to search while I took my stuff and found a bed to take. We only had one device to search, and Ura knew what she was doing. I found a destroyed bedroom and began to clean it up. It was a pain with the roof being so low. Still, most of the mess was on the floor, so I would have to be on my knees anyways. I continued cleaning, finding drugs and other things I didn''t need. I tossed them into a bag and continued to clean them up. I had done this many times in the past with roommates, and I yawned as I got near the end. I hated cleaning up someone else''s mess, but I smiled as I remembered that this time I got to kill those that actually had made the mess. When I was done, I tossed the bag into the next bedroom. I wasn''t sure if it was Ura¡¯s or not. She was still looking around, so I started unpacking my duffel and putting things aside. I quickly went to look see Ura, and she looked serious. With her fingers to her lips, I nodded, acknowledging that the place had been bugged. ¡°Do you need to do anything before we head out?¡± I asked, and Ura nodded. ¡°Some basics. Is there anything you need?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Yeah, I want some basics for gun kits and trap kits, please. I will pay you back when you get back, but I have had a full day and am sleepy,¡± I told her, ¡°I want to hit the bed. Mind finishing up while I sleep?¡± I asked. If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. ¡°No problem,¡± Ura replied, ¡°Plan to just have it delivered. I will take a second look to ensure we have more than just rations to tie us over before sending an order to the nearest store or stores we need.¡± ¡°Great, I will wake up when I wake up.¡± I told her, ¡°I cleaned my room, though, so you''re free to sleep with me if you want to hold off cleaning till tomorrow.¡± I said, and Ura nodded. ¡°I may join you,¡± Ura replied, her voice husky as I headed back to the crew compartment and stripped in my room which was a little awkward with the low roof. I pulled a blanket from my duffel, and I laid down. I hit the log out, and a prompt showed. ¡ª- Log out? Yes/ No ¡ª- I hit the yes. ¡ª- Detected that you are still in the Tutorial. Time is sped up in Tutorial mode at a one-to-four ratio. Do you still wish to disconnect? Note: You will still be in the tutorial when you come back. Your body will not disappear, and you will be vulnerable to death. Yes/ No ¡ª- I hit the, yes, and a second later, my eyes closed. A second later, my eyes opened, and I was in the pod inside my room. I groaned. I pushed up the lid and groaned even louder as my arms tingled a little. I sat up, and my muscles protested against me. ¡°Fuck, That hurts.¡± I cursed getting out of the pod and smelled a little like sweat. I noticed that I was a little gross and got out of the pod without much issue. My legs felt a little shaky, but I stretched again and went into the kitchen to cook, only to shake my head. I was hungry and didn''t want to cook. Instead, I found my phone back in my room and ordered something to eat. The time wasn''t as long as I expected, and I smiled before heading to my bathroom and striping and showering. I yawned as I washed the sweat off of me. I quickly finished up without allowing my hair to get wet. I stepped out and put on some simple clothing before sitting at my computer and looking up the forums of Galaxy Online. I looked shocked by the top post. The Tutorial is bullshit!!! I looked into it, and it seemed that things might be more challenging in the game than when I was playing. This guy had also gotten a bounty hunter quest and wasn''t as careful about it. They also found that their bounty was out of a small cabin. Instead of trying to ambush him, they tried to hunt them down and got killed when the guy put a knife through his eye without a chance for him to fight back. The game made him recreate a character unless they wished to try again. When he failed again to kill the bounty, the game sent him back, and he found that their options were reduced significantly. The person was complaining loudly with a simple reply from the Company. We understand that you selected a class and specialty that was too difficult for you. We reduce the options so that you may pick a class balanced to the skill level you showed during the tutorial. We only have so many resources to run the Tutorials, and you have only so many chances. It was simple, and the comments after were calling both the Gabin company out and the players themselves. I personally didn''t think the tutorial so far was so difficult, and I found a post soon. I COMPLETED THE TUTORIAL! I looked at that post, and my eyes widened as the person explained some things. Traits were both good and bad; it seemed that characters react to you differently depending on your traits. Then there were attributes that you received, and they were based on the number of traits you got. Each gave two attribute points, with some giving bonuses to stats to start. So you gather as many traits as you can and try to make them positive. The most important thing was that the person completed the tutorial by getting out of their contract. It seemed to form the post. This person was a soldier and Machine gunner in the military and got wounded in action. Apparently, they got out of the contract to go on their way after being healed, and the contract they were under allowed them to leave. When they took the chance to leave the military, they completed the tutorial, and I grinned. No way was it that good. I started to read into the forums more and found a couple of posts saying the same thing generally that they got out of employment contracts sending them into the world with all the things that they gathered in the tutorial world. My smile was bright as I realized that the contract that I had saved was probably for the best. I could gather more traits and not be stuck in the backwater world. I also wondered if no one else could bother me while in the tutorial space. I also wondered if the galaxy was different from the tutorial world. That made me think more, and I sighed and shrugged, leaning back. Instead, I got up and set up an alarm for the night, and opened up my account to see what the votes were. What I saw was a good thousand-dollar day in votes for me to sleep in one of my favorites. It was a black latex body suit that hugged your body. It wasn''t something I wanted to wear every night, but it was something I enjoyed wearing to sleep. It hugged everything tightly, and I got up as I heard the door knock for my food. I went over and took my food, and closed the door making sure it was locked. I began to eat and threw on a book to read while I did so. I enjoyed a book allowing myself to relax, and my yawns became more frequent before I finished my food. When I finished, I took the trash to my kitchen and entered my second bedroom or, better description, my wardrobe. I walked around to my Latex section and smiled at all the options. I picked my favorite since I was happy and took my time putting it on. Exercising the latex a bit, I finally got it all on and looked at myself in the Mirror. I could see the Latex cover everything but my head. It was tight on my double d breasts, which almost looked like they were E cups in this as it tightly hugged even the underside of my breasts, pushing them up. I loved the feeling of every part being covered since I didn''t usually get fully covered when I streamed myself sleeping. Looking down at the black latex, you could see the shape of my cock that was flaccid, and I smirked. I felt good in this outfit, and I knew the perverts watching me would love it. I turned around, and a black leather tail flopped, and I grinned as some of the perverts would love that. I grabbed the latex ears and put them on my head before heading back to my bedroom. I walked over to the computer, booted all the cameras up, and ensured that everything was pointing in the right direction again. I did it every night, and there wouldn''t be an angle missed for the perverts at home. They could even change the streaming camera with enough donations if they thought they could see more from different angles. With this, I grinned and put my stream live, and I looked into my computer''s webcam and the microphone I used sitting in my chair. ¡°Hello, boys,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°I am a sleepy kitty now, and I have been playing Galaxy online for the last four hours. This little Sleepy Wonder kitty is too tired to talk much and answer questions, and I am still in the tutorial stage anyways. Thank you all for voting on this cute Latex outfit for me to sleep in tonight. I am going to bed, though. Enjoy!¡± I announced, and with a knowing smile, I turned the camera to the main overhead camera before I got into bed and lay down. I was so used to being watched going to sleep that I immediately felt sleep overtaking me despite knowing chat would go crazy. I ignored them as usual, and my eyes fluttered closed, and sleep took me. Chapter 13: To the Hextar Home World I woke up hugged on every corner of my body except my face. I moaned a little, stretched, and felt my cock hard in my latex, straining against the latex, hugging me. I looked at the time; it had been about six hours, and I felt a little sleepy. I could get back to sleep, but I wanted to get back to Galaxy Online. I groaned and moaned a little and tossed in bed though before I got up. I saw the chat on my computer blowing up about my morning wood and how all the leavers would be pissed that they missed the scene. I saw a couple shouting the emoticons saying they came from watching me sleep, which was gross if that was what you got off to. I didn''t care, though, as it was how I paid the bills. It made a good amount of money today, and I saw that they had paid a lot of donations to have the camera changed to one that happened to be on my crotch. However, that wasn''t the favorite today in my latex. My breasts took the number one spot on the donation list, and I smiled a sleepy smile as I sat down. ¡°Sleeping is over, Boys,¡± I told them, ¡°Tell them in chat later that they should stick around if they wanted to watch me get up for a chance at anything. I have some errands to do today, so I will post the vote for tonight later.¡± With that, I shut off the stream, and I groaned as my cock was hard as a rock with morning wood. When I wore Latex, I usually did, and it would be a lie to say I didn''t have a bit of a rubber fetish. My first girlfriend got me to try on latex, and I was a broken woman after that. I loved it so much when I had intercourse and slept. When it came to streaming my sleep, though, I couldn''t only wear latex, though, so I loved it when it got voted in. I yawned again and got out of my chair and headed to the kitchen, and pulled out some food to cook before grunting. I needed to calm down, and I was sweaty as hell under the latex. I needed to let my body breathe, so I headed to my bedroom and noticed I had forgotten to turn off my cameras. I quickly shut everything down with my chat, probably groaning about that as well. I got up and slowly stripped myself of the latex bodysuit I wore, and a stink of sweat wafted into the room. Ignoring the smell, I put my outfit out to clean, which I would do right after a shower and maybe a little jerk-off session in the shower. I took my time in the shower and cleaned myself off very thoroughly after being in latex for the night, and then I got to work on quickly cleaning my latex outfit before hanging it to dry properly. I quickly started my breakfast that I threw into the oven before running to jump on my elliptical and starting to work out a little. I knew I shouldn''t just after a shower, but I wanted to be in the pod longer today than yesterday. I knew twenty-four hours had passed, and I wondered what Ura thought of that. I wished that I could go to sleep in the pod, but I felt even more exhausted after being in the pod. Maybe that was one of the reasons they expected the tutorial to be harder. Life makes it hard when it is the world sped up so much. I would have to consider that, so I pressed myself to go hard on myself. Soon the Oven called me, and I got off my legs, feeling a little wobbly from pressing myself a little. I moved, pulled out my food, and ate in the silence of the morning, realizing I had forgotten to turn on some music. I was so preoccupied with Galaxy Online that I didn''t even notice. I didn''t care at this point, though, and I quickly finished up my food before rinsing my plate, putting everything in the dishwasher, and turning it on. I quickly jumped back onto the elliptical and pushed myself for twenty minutes before jumping off, walking into the shower, rinsing myself off, putting my clothes in the washing machine, and pulling out a t-shirt and light pants to lie down in the pod. Opening the pod and feeling it close, I was excited, and soon I felt my eyes close. My eyes opened, and I felt heavy breath on me as I groaned, getting up. Ura¡¯s blue skin came into view, and she groaned as I got up. I saw her sleeping and noticed twenty-six hours had passed in in-game time. I winced but got out of bed with Ura sleeping behind me. My stomach growled, and I realized that I needed to eat. I got into the kitchen and began cooking, which must have woken Ura because she came down with sleepy eyes. ¡°I thought I slept a lot,¡± Ura said, ¡°You sleep dead to the universe.¡± Ura yawned and looked at me, ¡°I may have ridden you a little while you were asleep. I hope you don''t mind.¡± I looked at her my expression didn''t change, and I shook my head, ¡°I don''t mind, but I might wake you up if I have some morning problems.¡± I replied. Ura¡¯s smile told me that she would enjoy that, and I took some plates out, ¡°What happened while I was asleep,¡± I asked. ¡°Nothing much,¡± Ura said, ¡°I got some extra parts for you, and they are in the workshop. I also got a shipment to Hextar¡¯s homeworld. It isn''t much, but it will pay for the fuel of the trip. Already loaded, and we have plenty of time to deliver. I also already put us into the slipstream. Sorry, but the shipment timing is a little tight if we stayed.¡± I looked at her, surprised for a moment, then shrugged. ¡°Makes sense,¡± I told her, ¡°I think I will look into some bounties while I am there. Tell me who you''re talking to since I want to be there when we transfer the goods. If I am going to be our muscle, I will need to be there when it happens.¡± Ura nodded, ¡°Do you sleep like that every time?¡± Ura asked. ¡°No, but I have been having some sleeping issues lately. I am sure it will no longer be an issue after this whole contract thing blows over.¡± I replied. Ura looked at me strangely and nodded. ¡°Okay,¡± She replied after a moment while she nodded. ¡°The Hextars world should only be half a day away, and so we should be getting there in about an hour or so. Our engine kills about a day and a half of the time in slip space. So,¡± She shrugged, ¡°You don''t have to wait that long to start looking into potential bounties.¡± Stolen story; please report. ¡°Okay,¡± I replied, handed her some food, and noticed a notification. ¡ª- New trait unlocked: Home cook. You may not be a chef of any type, but you can cook a good meal. ¡ª I passed her the food, and we sat down, pulling out a little bench and table that I expressed slight surprise at. Honestly, this all felt like it was living in a small cramped area. It wasn''t the worst, but I would love a larger ship in the future. ¡°Don''t you have to watch where you''re going in slipstream or something?¡± I asked ignorantly, and Ura smiled wryly. ¡°One of the first questions I asked with a simple answer.¡± Ura said, ¡°In order to fight in the slipstream, the other ship must enter our frequency of slipstream. Each time that will be different, and the only way to match is when we are entering Slipstream to enter slipstream with the opposing frequency manually. That means the only time I have to be at the helm is when we are entering and exiting, which is great for solo flyers but not perfect either. Our Sensors behind us are pretty vulnerable on this ship. I didn''t have the credit or want to buy a military suite in order to match others'' frequency. Again the best defense this ship has is our speed.¡± I nodded, and Ura Continued, ¡°The biggest issue, though, is that the Military lately has started to develop a system to detect passing slipstreams in deep space. Still, I can only see them using that in wartime to ambush enemy fleets. Otherwise, it is useless.¡± Ura finished. ¡°So few ships could even catch us in slipstream even if they wanted to follow?¡± I asked, and Ura nodded. ¡°Good, Then I am going to finish and tinker a bit. I want to see what I can do with some traps.¡± I told Ura, and she nodded. ¡°We shouldn''t be too far from the Hextar homeworld, so I will let you know when,¡± Ura replied. Moments later, I finished eating and put it in the dishwasher that Ura showed me. Leaving, I quickly got to the workshop only to remember my gear in the duffel bag and headed back, making Ura chuckle as I headed up to the bedrooms. I got my stuff and jumped down while Ura headed to the bridge. I got to my workshop and began to sort and clean things around the workshop. Then I started to organize it in a way for now so that I find everything I needed. It took a long time, and I was working on it to learn what tools were needed more than others. The biggest find was a datapad that went through a tutorial on all the equipment. Some of the tools were some I had worked with in precision machining in the past, just in handheld form. Many, though, I could only say were Sci-fi tools, and I went over them slowly under the description and the use. I got lost in my studies inside the workshop when suddenly Ura spoke over the intercom. ¡°Leaving Slipstream in thirty seconds. Take a break till we come out, Sleepy Wonder.¡± She announced, and so I put my things down. Only moments passed, and I felt my stomach roll a little with nausea but not that much as it felt like something had changed, but I couldn''t tell what. It was like I didn''t realize before the universe was different, and now everything had righted itself. My stomach grumbled against it, though, and I bit back the urge to puke. ¡°We are about two hours away from the Hextar¡¯s homeworld and en route,¡± Ura said over the intercom. I nodded to myself and got back to reading the datapad. So much to learn and so little time to learn it when Ura came to the doorway. She then pointed to the object in her hand that she used to mark the bugs the soldiers put in, and I got up. We went around, and it seemed that they put a lot of bugs on us. Over fifty in total, and for two hours, we cleared them off the ship. When we were done, we put them in the cargo bay together and walked to the other side of the ship. ¡°Thank god those are gone,¡± Ura said, ¡°I will dump them in some dumpster. I have a container that should deal with them from transmitting soon, and they shouldn''t suspect much while we are in the Hextar homeworld. Don''t want them following us after this planet. I will also scan the outside for trackers to send over the galactic net.¡± ¡°Sounds good to me,¡± I told her with a slight smile, ¡°Not much time till landing?¡± I asked, and Ura blushed. Without realizing it, Ura got a little closer to me, and she took a step back and nodded. ¡°Sorry, I need to go ask for permission to land,¡± Ura said and ran off, and I hid a chuckle. Ura was hiding that she was extremely interested in me, it seemed. I hadn''t seen it much in real life, but the subtle signs or not-so-subtle signs were there. She technically raped me while I was logged off too. Although I was fine with that personally, not everyone would be. As a streamer that was an exhibitionist while sleeping, I could very much understand the fetish. I would be lying if I hadn''t had the odd dark fantasy from time to time. Instead, I went back to my workshop and continued to study. It seemed some of my tools had more functions than I knew, and I realized why I got the stubborn trait when I made the shotgun. There was a lot that I brute forced into place, and I could have done more with my tools. There were even ways to change my parts with these tools microscopically, and they were something needed for tools and gun-making in general. Now it wasn''t just learning what tools could do, though. I needed to learn how best to use those tools, and my tail wagged behind me as I contemplated. I was suddenly torn in thought as well on what I should learn more about first. Using my tail or the tools in front of me. At this point, though, the tools were easier to learn, so I continued reading while taking short breaks to look over and replicate what the book said they could do. Losing myself to it when Ura came over the intercom again, saying we had landed, almost made me jump. I got up, went to my room, and grabbed my arsenal. My sniper snuggly felt good on me, and my fingers were plated with a bullet. I quickly joined Ura at the front, and she smiled as she opened up the ship. The ramp fell down, and the heat of the outside hit me. It wasn''t as hot as the desert, but the rudeness after a perfectly controlled climate versus the heat was staggering. We both stepped out with business on our minds, and I couldn''t help thinking about if I should do a bounty on this world. Chapter 14: Bounty Office ¡°Please submit for inspection of your ship,¡± A six-limbed Hextar said when we stepped out. He had an assault rifle on his back, and his arms limbs carried a datapad looking down. ¡°You submitted that you have some materials of some dangerous alloys used in gun manufacturing. Controlled, but we still have to check it out,¡± He said, and I looked down at his four legs. Those legs let them move pretty fast in the desert, and I wondered what the world here was like if they could move so fast in the sand. It wasn''t something that I had thought about before, and the man looked at Ura. ¡°Please,¡± He said, motioning to our ship, and he looked at me. ¡°Are you the muscle?¡± He asked. I nodded, and he frowned, ¡°Ura, A Rish cat as a Muscle? Someone is going to end up shot just so that she can feel the trigger being pulled.¡± He said, ¡°Not my business as long as I am not the one being shot, though. Still, keep your cat contained while I am onboard.¡± He said, and I wanted to snarl. Instead, we followed in silence as Ura showed him around. It allowed my mind to wander and remember more about my species'' description. They were a prosecuted race, but it came with a lot of benefits. I would just have to ensure that I surrounded myself with people who either didn''t care or were like Ura. They wanted to try something out and found that they loved it. The search was brief, and it seemed Ura cleaned out the various illegal things when I was sleeping. With the inspection done, Ura turned to me, ¡°I will have to deliver the goods. Someone should be here soon to pick them up. Do you want to stick around?¡± Ura asked. ¡°I think I am going to find a bounty office quickly and see if there is anything quick for me to pick up. I will be back quickly,¡± I told her, but I could see slight disappointment. ¡°While you are waiting, you can also find a buyer,¡± I finished, and Ura nodded in understanding. ¡°Here, take this GPS,¡± Ura said with a smile, ¡°We don''t want you getting lost,¡± She finished, her smile bright. I took it and walked away as Ura watched. I quickly typed into the GPS for the nearest bounty office and quickly headed on my way. It seemed that there was a bit of distance to leave the spaceport, so I got walking. Traveling in a new area seemed so weird. I quickly noticed doorways were a bit thicker and taller in this world to accommodate their species. Seeing the little details that Gabin Corporation put into this world was interesting, and I smiled as I walked along. I saw so many Hextars, and sometimes some other species moving around. It was interesting to see the settings of this world as I walked till I hit the streets. When I did, I realized that I would need a skimmer to something to move around the city. I saw a sign with AI-controlled Skimmers advertising, so I walked over and jumped into a skimmer. ¡°Use of firearms inside the car is strictly prohibited,¡± The car said, ¡°Please state your destination.¡± ¡°Nearest Bounty hunter office,¡± I announced. ¡°That is within two kilometers. The fee will be twenty federation credits,¡± The car told me. ¡°Approved,¡± I said, and the skimmer or car or whatever it was moved out when it was safe and started to drive. It didn''t even take long for us to get there, and it stopped at a large building within sight of the Spaceport. Getting out of the car asked, ¡°Would you like to take this skimmer somewhere else later, or are you finished with our services?¡± ¡°Please stay around. I may use your services after,¡± I replied. ¡°Thank you; This vehicle will stay around for an hour at most before leaving.¡± The car said, and I walked into the building with BHHQ written above it. I walked in armed to the teeth, felt my tail wagging, and tried to control my tail deliberately. I was having a hard time with it, though, and I knew at some point I would need to get it to help me reload and various other activities; having another limb could help with various tasks. I couldn''t help but want something that could pick up magazines and tools while I worked with my hands. The help and speed increase was something I desired while playing as I knew that they would eventually have a pro scene. I walked into a lobby and noticed windows that didn''t look very busy. I walked over slowly, noticed Hextars working the windows, and motioned me forward. ¡°Hello,¡± a more feminine voice came from the Hextar, ¡°This is the galactic Bounty office for the Federation space. Are you looking to register a bounty? Or maybe they are looking to link up with the Major Bounty offices in the Federation space? Or register a kill or capture?¡± The female Hextar asked, and I shrugged. ¡°I was a part of the Pervona bounty office and still have a contract with them,¡± I replied, ¡°I am looking to bounty hunt more widespread now.¡± ¡°Ah, Another backwater planets bounty office,¡± The Hextar said, ¡°Doesn''t matter. The Federation Space has made it legal for you to be paired with multiple bounty offices. I know it was because some bigger contracts get targeted by the Empire and the Kingdom if the Criminal is large enough. All galactic bounty offices will then target them if the Federation has to pay. Why not the Empire and the Kingdom''s bounty offices?¡± The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. I nodded, which seemed like good information, and smiled, ¡°good to hear,¡± I said, ¡°Do you mind telling me more about how things work?¡± I asked. ¡°Sure, I don''t mind,¡± She said, and I wasn''t sure if she was sarcastic. ¡°First, accepting bounties isn''t something really done here. We offer a tablet that links to bounties, showing you the bounties we believe you can take. They are graded based on prior work and jobs. Warning though,¡± She said, ¡°Even if you accept a bounty and head after them, the bounty doesn''t disappear. We learned long ago that many of these criminals could also kill our bounty hunters. And yes, that is a warning to you,¡± She added on quickly as if she had to say that many times before. ¡°So you may encounter another bounty hunter on the job. Our rules are that whoever kills or captures first gets the bounty. If they try to kill you for the bounty, you are free to defend yourself. But please try to bring proof that you were defending yourself. That brings me to my next recommendation. Bring recording software to film yourself killing or capturing these people. It will make your life easier and provides a ton of proof that clients cannot try to back out of.¡± I nodded, ¡°Okay. Is there any recommended hardware and software that you prefer?¡± I asked. ¡°Listed in the tablet that we will give you. Next, let''s move onto ranks,¡± The Hextar said, and I nodded again. ¡°We rank by three separate systems. First is the rookie ranks. Inside the rookie ranks, you will make less money, and the jobs will tend to be easier for criminals to deal with. In galactic space, you would be surprised how many there are. Still, this is called RF rank. From there, you can move to the maximum RD rank. It goes RF, RE, and RD rank. Meaning Rookie F rank, Rookie E rank, Etcetera. RD rank is the rank where you leave the rookie leagues and become a veteran. This means you are a fully certified Federation approved Bounty hunter with some privileges that entails. Trust me, they are useful, but I will not get into them now. From there, you go back down to a VE rank, meaning Veteran instead of rookie now. Then you can go all the way up to VA rank. This rank is the final stop in the ranking system until you enter the Galaxy hunter rank. These ranks are filled with bonafide Bounty hunting monsters. They are the best the Federation Bounty hunter offices can handle, and they made low-class criminals shake in their boots, terrified. Just don''t cross one, honestly.¡± The Hextar said, ¡°Still, A lot of this will be explained on the tablet. I just have some time to kill.¡± ¡°That is interesting,¡± I said, thinking it was a slight change from just f to a rank with S tier mixed in. ¡°I am still interested in joining,¡± I told her, and she nodded. ¡°Perfect, then please fill out the forum on this datapad, including fingerprints. We will also have to do a background check on you,¡± She said, ¡°that should be about ten minutes to complete, but it can be longer. We are more or less checking our database to see if you have a bounty on your head,¡± The Hextar said, and I nodded. I took the data pad, and I got to work inputting the information I knew about my Character before heading back and the Hextar taking it. She smiled and looked it over and, after a bit, looked up at me, ¡°Okay, with this little information, I will have to take a blood sample as well, just in case,¡± The Hextar said, and I offered my hand. She rolled her eyes, I thought, but I wasn''t sure about their alien faces and pulled my arm forward and pressed something to me. I didn''t feel a pinch, but the spot turned a little sore. ¡°Okay, With that out of the way, I can hand you this for a deposit of five thousand Federation credits,¡± What I assumed to be a female, Hextar said, and I looked at her. ¡°I thought that was for free?¡± My tone made it a question. ¡°I never said it was,¡± the Hextar said, her tone overly professional, ¡°But this is a fully functional tablet for our organization, and you honestly wouldn''t believe the number of newcomers a year. You pay five thousand credits just for this, and that is nothing. Starting up as a bounty hunter is expensive but lucrative,¡± The Hextar said, and I guess that was right. Otherwise, why would my character enter an agreement like the contract I was bound by? Suddenly I was a little poorer with a notification, and she handed me the tablet, ¡°This is keyed directly to the bounty hunter offices galaxy-wide in the Federation. Some bounties can even be handled directly through the tablet if you bring enough evidence of the deed. Don''t try to doctor evidence. Trust me, we will know. If you fake evidence, you will be banned from all Bounty hunter offices Galaxy-wide, and a bounty will be placed on your head. Unless you come and serve a minimum of one year for every hundred thousand credits stolen through fake evidence.¡± I raised my eyebrows at that. If you had a million credit bounty, that was ten years, and it was exponential from there. I could see how seriously they took it. ¡°Seems you understand. If your paperwork comes through, the tablet will tell you. It will then also open access to all the basic functions, and you will be a bounty hunter for the Federation. You no longer need to stay here as the process will be working in the background, and we don''t need you here for it.¡± I nodded and left. I had questions, but the Hextar seemed to have lost her patience with me at some point. I stepped out, got into the car I came in, and asked it to send me back to the spaceport. It didn''t take long for me to get back and for me to find the spaceship Ura owned. I had forgotten the name since we hadn''t said it much since she told me the name, and it was written anywhere. I chuckled at that thought, and I pressed the button on the outside. ¡°Are you the buy- Ah, Sleepy Wonder back already!¡± Ura said excitedly. ¡°Come on in. The buyer should be here soon!¡± A second later, the ramp started coming down, and I headed up. ¡°What happened?¡± I asked as I entered, looking for Ura at the Bridge, ¡°I thought the buyer was going to be quick?¡± ¡°They are on their way,¡± Ura said as I entered, turning to me. ¡°I am just finding someone for our other cargo now,¡± She continued, ¡°I may have started a bit of a bidding war underground,¡± I frowned, and she waved her hand. ¡°Not many smugglers are brazen enough to ship here, and I think the authorities have been cracking down on them.¡± ¡°As long as authorities do not catch us,¡± I told her, and she nodded. ¡°Thinking the same thing. I don''t have enough money to make it as a pirate yet,¡± Ura joked, and I chuckled a little. Suddenly another buzz happened, and Ura pressed a button. ¡°Hello?!¡± Someone said on the other side, ¡°We are here to pick up the cargo of materials!¡± They announced. ¡°You are potentially at the right place!¡± Ura said and pressed a button, and I got up with her. It was time to act like the muscle of this ship. Chapter 15: "Inventive" Stepping to the top of the ramp, Ura was all smiles and put out her hand. ¡°Credentials, please,¡± she asked, and the Hextar handed her one as I laid back against the wall, barely in sight. I didn''t want to make my presence too known as these were not the underground types, to my knowledge. That didn''t mean that Ura, at the moment, probably felt safer with me around instead of missing this exchange. Ura looked over the Datapad the man handed her, and after a bit, she nodded. ¡°Perfect; what will we be loading it onto?¡± She asked with a raised eyebrow. ¡°Air lorry,¡± The Hextar said, and Ura nodded. I couldn''t help but wonder what that was, but I made no mention of that as the man followed Ura into the cargo bay to inspect the goods. Honestly, I was bored watching it all, but the man was happy with things, so Ura started to unload, and the Hextar brought one of his own when the cargo bay opened up. I watched the entire interaction and skulked in the background like good muscle should, in my opinion. The ¡®Air lorry¡¯ looked like a giant airship that could hold cargo, and that was it. I watched it bored after seeing it, but Ura seemed happy with it and even happier as she got paid for the second half of the credits. ¡°Pleasure doing business with you,¡± The Hextar said before everything wrapped up. With everything wrapped up, both Ura and I headed back into the ship, and she sighed. ¡°Thanks for lurking around,¡± Ura said, ¡°I doubt they were up to something, but I still am feeling a little paranoid about things.¡± I nodded and sat down near her. ¡°That is only to be expected,¡± I told her, ¡°Plus, the bounty office wasn''t far away or took as much time as I thought it would.¡± ¡°That is good,¡± Ura said and turned to look at me and unzipped her jumpsuit showing blue breasts and purple nipples that were hard. ¡°You know I haven''t forgotten about that shower or the time you choked me. I am positively drenched in my jumpsuit,¡± Ura stalked forward, and I leaned back to look up as she started to straddle me and put her wet cunt on my pants to egg me on. ¡°I am waiting on some contacts to contact me,¡± She continued leaning down as my cock started to harden, ¡°Why not have some fun while we are waiting?¡± She asked. I wouldn''t say no to an offer like this, and my hands stripped off my sniper rifle, easily putting it up against the console. My other hand continued to move the zipper down on her jumpsuit while my head dove into her breasts, softly sucking on her nipple. Ura moaned in response, and I could feel her need as I reached for whatever her species called a pussy. I didn''t care as my cock got hard thinking about driving my cock deep into her, and I found that pink liquid on my fingers as I pushed my fingers into her wet hole, making her moan out loud for me and I grinned as I bit her nipple only for her to moan louder and her body jumped a little. Her arms reached down, and soon I stood up, pushing back the chair, barely missing my sniper rifle. Ura dropped my pants and smiled brightly as my cock came into view. ¡°Treat me roughly, Sleepy Wonder. Release yourself on me,¡± Ura begged without restraint, and I smirked as I realized that Ura was a Masochist. In real life, I had an odd attraction effect on Masochists towards me, and I didn''t hate it. Each had their issues, but I loved treating them roughly, although sometimes I wouldn''t mind being pushed down myself. This wasn''t one of those times when I grabbed her by the breasts and made her scream a little as I lifted her up onto a console. That lasted only for a moment before I slapped those juicy breasts that flopped around a little before I pushed her jumpsuit down her arms. I quickly brought down the one piece and left her bare, allowing her to kick off the jumpsuit as I lined my cock up with her pussy. I wished I had more to tease her, and I wondered if there were toys in this game or if I would have to create them. It didn''t matter as I thrust my cock into her core, making her cry out as I grabbed her by the breasts and pulled her towards me, and took a breast into my mouth. The sudden influx of pleasure made her legs tremble, and I felt her pussy tremble even as it sucked on me from all directions. My moan was loud and obvious as I sucked on her nipple while her alien pussy grasped me with those suction cup pussy folds from all directions, sucking me in deeper. I could never explain it to someone in the real world other than try it yourself as I began to fuck her harder and harder. Ura responded by grabbing onto me with her legs and arms holding on for dear life as I plundered her pussy without stopping. The pleasure from her cunt and the softcore domination treatment I was giving her sent shivers of pleasure through my head. I grabbed her head at my peak, pressed my lips against her purple lips, and kissed Ura deeply as I moaned into her mouth, and my other hand pinched her purple nipples. Ura moaned and reached her peak, and I felt her pussy spasming all over my cock and spraying my hips as I moaned into her mouth. My cock throbbed, and I released my load into Ura without restraint. We both moaned and orgasmed together, both blowing our worlds apart in sparks of pleasure. Ura wrapped her legs tightly around me, and her arms were around my neck as we kissed while coming down from our orgasms. Our kisses deepened, and I was about to start moving again when suddenly, a buzz started, and Ura broke the kiss. ¡°Damn,¡± She cursed, ¡°I think that is a call I am waiting for.¡± Ura didn''t look happy, so I pulled out of her and watched her nice blue ass move to the console buzzing after pulling myself out. ¡°Ura speaking,¡± She said when pressing the button as I watched semen slowly drip from her blue pussy. I smirked and stood up to clean myself from the pink juices she released on me. ¡°I believe you have a shipment of goods without an owner?¡± A man''s voice asked. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! ¡°I believe I do,¡± Ura said, ¡°You are not the only one interested, though. What is the price your buying at?¡± ¡°Eight hundred thousand, Final offer,¡± The voice said, and I could see Ura¡¯s excited expression, so I thought it might be a trap automatically. ¡°That is a lot for these goods,¡± Ura said, her voice calming down as I saw her do it at the same time, and I felt my respect for this NPC go up. ¡°Times are tight, and people are looking for product.¡± the voice said, and Ura hummed. ¡°I will think about it,¡± Ura said, ¡°I will call you within an hour if I am going with you.¡± Frowning, Ura shrugged, turning off the console quickly. ¡°I don''t like something about him,¡± Ura said quickly, ¡°Something about him made me temper myself, and last time I found myself in a closet to be sold.¡± I nodded, and I leaned back while Ura¡¯s eyes went to my cock, and I shook my head. ¡°I think you need to call your other contacts and see. I think we can try to take his offer, but I think I am going to go prepare in case we do and they are not on the level,¡± I told Ura, and I saw her pout. I smirked, crossed the distance to her, and kissed her pouting lips. ¡°Maybe I will make something to make you scream for me soon,¡± I told her, and I saw her skin purple a little, which I took as a blush. ¡°Besides, we have work to do,¡± I told her, pulled my pants back up, and walked away with a bulge. I quickly reached the workshop and began to think of some traps to use. I didn''t have the blueprints for most, so I turned to the three I knew I could make: the explosive, the claw, and the handgun trap. If I made guns, I could increase the number of traps I made and could hide them better. I could even incorporate the Space ship and motion sensors to help out in the future, but I wasn''t sure how to do that yet. My mind spun, and I thought of something else I could do if we delayed a couple of hours. I got up and walked into the bridge again, where Ura worked naked. ¡°So I got a good offer; what is the best you can do?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Six Hundred thousand federation credits, Ura. More, and I don''t think I can make any money. Things might be tight, but some is still slipping the cracks, just not in as large of a quantity as you have.¡± The voice said, and Ura frowned. ¡°Okay, I will call you back if you''re the option we go with,¡± Ura said and turned to me. ¡°Delay delivery time,¡± I told her, ¡°I need to think in case we are outnumbered and time to make what I think of.¡± Ura nodded with a wry smile, ¡°Okay, I will let you think,¡± she said, and I walked back into my workshop, and I wondered what this game world would allow as I entered the workshop and closed the door, locking it. I sat down and put my head in my arms on the desk before logging out. I felt my eyes close. I opened my eyes a moment later, and the pod lid opened, and I groaned, stepping out. I had only been in the pod for two hours, but my body was used to moving more than it had in the pod, and I decided to relieve myself and make some food. I would research modern and old-style traps to see what I could do. After relieving myself, I moved towards the kitchen, turned on the kettle, and stretched a little. I moved to my computer and turned it on while ensuring I stretched. It was great to move like this, and I felt myself almost moaning as I did so. Even still, I was trying to picture the area I had to work with if things went south. Did I want to fight in the spaceport? Or in the spaceship? My mind pondered this shortly when I heard the kettle pop, and my head snapped to it and realized my answer as I walked over. I poured it into the noodle cup and walked back to my computer while I let it sit. I pulled up a VPN to be a little protected as I looked up various lethal traps. What I found were various primitive and poacher traps. Even more, I found military traps with explosives as a mainstay and knives and maiming devices. I frowned and continued looking but quickly found some I could use on the spaceship and blend into the environment. I wouldn''t make them explosive, but I could have a shotgun trap and a couple of handgun traps if I worked on it. I quickly found myself diving into booby traps and became fascinated in a sadistic way. Some were to be instantly lethal, while some were just to maim enemies to fill the enemy''s hospitals. It was a little messed up, and my mind started thinking quickly about what I could do with the ship. I started to eat my noodles and plan while I read, and when I finished, I had a basic plan with the hope that the game would allow me to make them. I quickly got up, tossed my garbage into the bin, and jumped into the pod to start. My eyes closed quickly, and a moment later, they reopened back as Sleepy Wonder, and I grinned. It was time to get to work, so I pulled out my sci-fi tools and materials. I would start with something simple, then I remembered the paint Ura talked about, and my smile grew. I quickly got to work on a spring-loaded knife trap triggered with a string. It was basic but not something I would have in my blueprints. It would also be able to lie flat if I could make it and, with strong enough springs, stab someone straight in the stomach if triggered, along with the fact that I could paint it the color of the bulkhead. My grin got even larger thinking about the implications if I pulled this off, and I finished it quickly as it was a simple design. Still, some parts of it were more delicate, and I got a couple of notifications as I finished. ¡ª-- New trait Unlocked, Inventive Create your own blueprint without the aid of another ¡ª-- ¡ª- New Blueprint Made: Spring-loaded knife trap(basic) Able to deal moderate damage to an unsuspecting person. ¡ª- I grinned and stood up, ¡°Oh, this is broken,¡± I said, unlocking the workshop door and heading to the bridge. Ura turned as I entered back in her jumpsuit when she saw me. ¡°Is something up?¡± Ura asked, seeing my expression. ¡°I have a brilliant idea,¡± I told her, and I saw her shiver, ¡°Where is the paint?¡± I asked. Chapter 16: Delivery Issues With paint and a plan, I began to do my best to start making traps. I couldn''t help but smile as this game brought out my imagination. Gabin Corporations Galaxy Online wasn''t the first VRMMORPG ever created, and I had played on headsets they brought out for it. They sucked and were all large drops. I had played a Call of Duty from Activision when they attempted a fully immersed one, which was terrible. All the functions and aims were hard to do, and your body felt clunky. On the other hand, as I worked on tools, this almost felt like a new reality. This virtual reality was a sandbox for me to play in. I could feel it as I was welded with a tool and a mask that I had brought with me. I loaded springs onto traps and painted things before setting out into the spaceship and hooking up the traps. Ura watched sometimes, and I pointed things out, ¡°Make sure to step over this,¡± I told her, or ¡°There is a pressure plate here, Step on it,¡± and I shrugged. I could see Ura looking at me oddly, and I continued to work, making this spaceship a death trap for invaders. Notifications pinged as I worked, telling me about my new traps, and I brightly smiled as I worked. They were not overly clever traps but armed with paint; I could make the traps completely blend in with the interior of the ship. ¡°You are making my ship a death trap,¡± Ura complained, and I looked at her as I mounted a spring-loaded knife to a part of the engine room. ¡°Yup,¡± I replied, ¡°My plan is that if things go wrong, we will quickly retreat into the spaceship. Our first hold will be the workshop and then the crew quarters. It depends on how many people they have. I doubt that we will need to with how many traps I am making, but it doesn¡¯t hurt to be careful,¡± I told her. ¡°Yeah, it can,¡± Ura replied, ¡°It is difficult to walk in the ship right now!¡± She complained, and I shooed her off. ¡°Trust me and call the people who will pay us the most. I will soon be done,¡± I told her, and Ura carefully walked away. Stopping wasn''t in my vocabulary as I carefully set the trap in the engine room and stepped over a couple of pressure plates. I wished I could do laser triggers or something, but I didn''t have the parts. I wondered if I learned more about making things in the real world, I could make even better traps. I would love to have a system that I could turn on and off for the booby traps. I could even make hydraulic systems and turrets. My smile grew larger as I changed direction and pulled out parts to make a shotgun. I had already made three spring-loaded knife traps¡ªa couple of drop-down metal spears. A half dozen pressure plates were my favorite. It used a thin steel wire painted to the floor''s color with a pulley system. Your foot hits the pressure plate, and it will at least make you lose your balance. Unfortunately, none of the pressure plates had a follow-up, so I moved on to making more guns to make a gun trap. I whistled away and made my first shotgun but frowned down at it as if it was junk. ¡ª Small two-barrel pipe shotgun. (junk) A terrible shotgun that is likely to blow up in the user''s hands. ¡ª I hated it, but it was still useful to me. If it worked or not, I would put it somewhere where it would be useful. I got to work and thought of where to put it and got another blueprint for a shotgun trap before I made a handgun trap before I was done. I had what should be enough traps, and I went to install them and paint them before making them live. ¡°The deal is set,¡± Ura said suddenly as I finished setting a handgun trap. ¡°Can you help me learn the position of the traps? We have an hour,¡± She said, and I nodded. I went over slowly with each trap, followed by handing her a gun and telling her not to use it unless necessary.I told her to run to the crew quarters if things started to go bad as I had not put any traps there, and she could cover the ladder just in case. Ura nodded, and I told her my plan if things went sound. Ura¡¯s face turned a dark shade of blue as I told her before turning purple when I finished. ¡°That is messed up, but I will not cry over enemies,¡± Ura said, her voice resolute, and I nodded. ¡°Good,¡± I told her honestly, ¡°Let''s get that Data pad out of the hidden cargo and prepare,¡± I told her, and she opened the compartment, took it out, and put it with my other data pad in the workshop. I loaded myself up and had my ammo prepared when the Intercom notified us of a visitor. Ura and I slowly made our way to the ramp, and I allowed Ura to do the talking. ¡°Who is it?¡± She demanded. ¡°Tellem! Here for the goods,¡± A man demanded on the other side. Ura nodded to me, and she opened the ramp. The lift came down, and six Hextars stood with weapons, and my instincts spiked as they all seemed to be jumpy. One was moving his weight onto limbs quickly like he was ready for action. Although I could be reading into things, something overall spoke bad about this, and I couldn''t help but smile. ¡°Ura, Got yourself a Rish Cat? When did that happen?¡± Tellem asked, and I looked over everything. ¡°Last load went poorly; thought I would get some muscle to help me out,¡± Ura said with a smile, ¡°You send the credits, and we can unload the goods,¡± Ura turned back to business, and Tellem frowned. ¡°Well, I would like to see the goods first,¡± Tellem said, and I shook my head. ¡°Credits first, goods second,¡± I told him, and Ura looked at me for a brief moment. ¡°Shut up, Cat,¡± Tellem snapped at me, his anger apparent. ¡°I want to see the goods so I can confirm quality,¡± he said. I looked at Ura, and I shook my head, and Ura nodded. ¡°This is how it is going to go, Tellem,¡± Ura said, ¡°You will send me the credits. Or you fuck off, Pick.¡± This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Tension spiked, and Tellem watched, and his anger rose again. Then I saw something on his face, and I felt more tension in my body. ¡°Okay,¡± Tellem said and snapped his fingers, and one of the guys moved forward with a weird expression I hadn''t seen on a Hextar before, and I made a note of the pistol and assault rifle he had. These guys were better equipped than the pirates, and Ura moved forward, and both hands moved over each other. Ura nodded, ¡°Credits received,¡± She said, turning to me, ¡°Let''s go get their goods,¡± Ura said, and I was about to follow her when Tellem and the guy that just transferred the credits tried to follow us. ¡°What do you think you''re doing?¡± I asked, stepping forward and stopping them. from coming up. Tellem seemed surprised for a moment before he looked me up and down, ¡°Take your cat off me, Ura,¡± He commanded. ¡°I don''t fucking think so,¡± I told him, ¡°We are going to put the shipment on the bed and lower it down to you,¡± I slowly said as if I was talking to someone with mental confusion. ¡°You will take your goods and leave. You can inspect them there and fuck off with them. Now, Back down the ramp,¡± I told Tellem, and I motioned Ura to move back towards the bridge. Ura¡¯s eyes widened, and Tellem looked at me with pure rage. ¡°Ura, Call off your fucking cat, or we are going to have issues.¡± I heard Ura walk away from the cargo bay, and I continued to stare down the Hextar. ¡°This is between you and me now, Tellem,¡± I snarled, ¡°There are three ways this is being dealt with. First, you walk down the ramp and wait for the goods. The second way is that we transfer the funds back to you, and you fuck off. The third way is that we pull out guns, and you all die. Pick!¡± I announced and quietly pulled out my shotgun. Tellem looked at me with pure rage. I could see the guys behind him were ready for a fight. He looked at me and stepped forward, and I noticed one of his Hextars bring their weapons up. I didn''t care anymore, and I wasn''t going to die here. I pushed the barrel of my shotgun to his core, and Tellem froze. A second later, I pulled the trigger, and guts blasted out behind him, and suddenly everything erupted in shouts. I quickly swung my body, and the first shots were fired from the Hextars, peppering the inside wall a little. I reinforced it for just this and slanted the metal to reduce the likely hood of a ricochet hitting me here. I quickly heard one running up and smiling as I calmly stepped down the passage, ensuring I didn''t hit a trap. I turned the corner just as the First Hextar came up and switched guns to my handgun for the increased range. ¡°Kill the fucking Cat!¡± I heard a man''s voice yell, and I heard a dozen more voices join in. Tellem didn''t hear from just the Tree Sap. he was here for a fight, and his men poured in after I killed him. I waited just behind the cover and blindly fired my handgun down the hallway. I heard one scream and then movement heading over to me. That was when I heard the first trap trigger, and a loud thud as a knife drove home into a Hextar. I turned to look and aimed a shot at a startled gunman looking at the Hextar impaled with a knife through its head. I grinned at the perfection of the first booby trap, and I sent three rounds into another. That quickly woke them up, and one moved forward and used his dead teammate as a shield to shoot at me. I ducked back under cover, and I heard more movement making me grin as I felt my rifle press against my back. It wasn''t the fight for a sniper rifle, but I had kept it on me anyways. I turned lower than before just to see the moment that stronger Hextar stepped into a pressure plate trap, and the wire wrapped around his leg and tugged on it. It sent him flying back onto his other legs, stopping his charge as the narrow corridors worked in our favor, and I sent three rounds into the center of his mass and two more as his body fell backward, revealing the next face. My gun was accurate, and my Booby traps were not obvious. ¡°I don''t see the Cargo!¡± I suddenly heard, and I smiled. That hidden compartment was worth too much. I was on the defense, and I could move their objective. In contrast, they had to find Ura and make her reveal the cargo they wanted. Now they would also have to ¡®convincer¡¯ her to release the credits. It was hilarious, and I wasn''t about to give up the area of the compartment. Instead, I poked out and noticed a barrel aiming at me not far away. I heard a shot fired, and I pulled myself back but felt a sharp pain in my leg, making me curse. He peppered the wall with rounds, and I made myself the smallest target I could, even as my leg burned with a fresh wound. My arm was still healing, and now I had a gunshot wound in my fucking leg. That was fantastic! I heard a click, and I pulled out and swiftly got my revenge as I heard guys moving around down the hall. I shot one in the head, got back up to my feet, and saw someone looking in the cargo bay. Instead of letting them do what they wanted, I wanted to remind them to come hunting for me. I shot and missed the guy in the background but completed my objective. ¡°We have to capture Ura or the fucking Cat!¡± Someone yelled on the other side, and I ducked behind the cover. More shots fired against the wall, and I backed up carefully, stepping over my traps and retreating to the workshop. I heard another loud thud as they found yet another trap I made, killing another, hopefully. I was busy putting fresh bullets into a magazine after reloading with my spare, and I pulled out my sniper with an odd angle that could only barely see them as they came around the corner from the door. My ears pressed flat, and the next Hextar came, and my finger stroked the trigger lovingly just as another pushed him forward. The first stumbled forward and fell into a trap I set for those thinking of taking the bridge, and his foot pressed a pressure plate and sent a bullet into him. The rifle bullet hit the other guy in his lower torso and made him fall to the floor as more dove in. At that point, I pushed aside my rifle, pulled out my shotgun, and sent spikes of pain as I covered the door. A Hextar stumbled into the doorway, and its eyes widened as my finger stroked the trigger and killed him too. ¡°This isn''t worth it!¡± I heard a cry out, ¡°The authorities will be here soon, and we are fucked if we are not in the air already!¡± ¡°No, We can''t all die for nothing!¡± Another shouted, and I smiled as their morale was broken. I could hear the infighting starting, and now was the time to counterattack. I got up and blood leaked from my leg as I got up. I poked my head out and saw a Hextar with his back slightly in vision yelling, ¡°We need to capture the cat bitch that killed Tellem!¡± it said, and I smiled, pulling out my handgun and shooting him in the back three times. I heard him gargling as I must have hit something important, and it fell back, allowing me to shoot its head. The others started to yell and panic set in. I stepped over another trap and shot one pouring towards the ramp. Bodies were stacked in the hallway, and I shot another as he came from the cargo bay, and I stepped over dead bodies carefully. I couldn''t trip, and my ears twitched as I heard the ship outside lifting into the air. I looked around and entered the cargo bay, ducked back, and cursed as bullets littered the wall as a panicked Hextar shot the walls near me till his clip died, and I came out and ended his life with several bullets till I knew he was dead. I breathed deeply and looked around, and nodded. I headed back to the front and closed the ramp pressing dead meat against the roof as I heard sounds not far away. I moved back and began clearing the ship to make sure there were not any Hextars left over. I sighed with relief and yelled out, ¡°Ura! The place is clear; just watch the traps!¡± Ura soon peaked out, looked at the mess I created, and gasped at the dead bodies. ¡°Holy fuck!¡± She exclaimed, and I heard a beep and call button from the ramp. ¡°Looks like we got company,¡± I said, pointing at the ramp from the hallway, and Ura nodded. ¡°This will be either hard or easy to explain,¡± I told her. I began to chuckle at her angry expression at me and pointed at the door again. ¡°I think it''s the authorities,¡± I told her, and she glared and stepped over the traps coming to join me. Chapter 17: Clean up Ura reached the buzzer and answered, ¡°Who is it?¡± She snapped her voice tart. ¡°This is the Port Authorities, We have had reports of gunfire here, and we see parts of dead bodies on your ship along with signs of battle,¡± A woman yelled into the buzzer. ¡°Open the ramp,¡± I told Ura, and she nodded. Lowering the ramp, a group of armed soldiers stood there and looked at me, who was wounded with blood dripping from my leather leg and bodies all over the compartment. ¡°What the Hell happened here!¡± The Hextar shouted with a woman''s voice. ¡°We were attacked,¡± I told her, ¡°We were looking to do business with a Hextay businessman, and since Ura is here,¡± I said, pointing out Ura, ¡°Was recently captured and almost sold as a Slave, she hired a bounty hunter to act as muscle. I thought I could use a vacation and so I have started to work for her. When they were negotiating through, the Hextars brought over a dozen men and started to storm the ramp. When I told them to back off, they attacked. I sent Ura here back into the crew quarters and fought them. I employed traps that my boss asked in her paranoia about being captured recently and put triggers on traps throughout the ship shortly after arriving. While on the planet, they remain active. While in transit, I take out the pins. When they invaded the ship, they found themselves in more trouble than they thought, and I fought them off till just before you arrived.¡± I said to the woman, my face serious and my tone sounded as if I was telling the whole truth. ¡°I got hit by a ricochet or two and maybe a bullet. I would like to start at least cleaning the wound.¡± I said, and the Hextar looked me up and down. ¡°Let us board the ship and inspect,¡± The woman said, and I stepped out of the way,¡± Please be careful not to point your guns at my boss. She is still skittish after being captured by pirates only days ago,¡± I told them. Ura did her part and looked afraid but tried to be brave. That woman could act, and the Hextar looked around at the bodies, the traps that were torn off walls, and the shitty welding I did. ¡°This is all amateur-wielding,¡± The woman said, turning to me. ¡°Well,¡± I said while my mind was spinning. The Rish¡¯an Locktar were a species that loved machinery, and my shit welds might lose me the story, so I shrugged. ¡°Rush job, and honestly, I was quite poor until recently when I took a bounty at the last planet where Ura hired me. Only recently got my hands on new tools and have been practicing with them.¡± The woman Hextar nodded and looked down the hall at the blood mark I left. ¡°I see what happened. Clearly, they were gunning for you as you retreated. They seem to be the aggressors, and you defended yourselves. They brought twice the numbers as well. The gangs are getting out of hand. The Planetary Governor has been cracking down on them, so they have targeted spaceships recently to get off the planet. Good Riddance, in my opinion, and the Air lorry running away refused to stop and was shot down. They are looking for survivors.¡± The woman stared me down, and I heard a loud ping on me, and I froze. It came from my workshop, and I stepped over a couple of traps and found it was the Bounty tablet saying I was a Federation Bounty hunter now, and I grinned. ¡°If it helps, I am a Bounty hunter,¡± I said, coming out and stepping over the traps, and the woman''s expression darkened seeing that. ¡°Low rank, but these were just thugs. The only thing this changes is that you get the bounty if there happens to be a bounty on any of their heads. Please give me your registration number.¡± The Hextar replied, and I nodded as I looked at the tablet and eventually found it. The woman nodded, ¡°Perfect; we will take blood samples from you and record the scene. Please standby,¡± She said, and all the soldiers stepped in, looking around thoroughly. I groaned, and I moved to my workshop, where Ura followed. The soldier that had been talking followed us in, and I pulled up my pant leg and sighed in relief. The bullet was through and through, leaving a gash, and the soldier handed me a kit. Quickly I started to fix myself up, and I turned to say to Ura, ¡°Should have used the medical bay.¡± Ura shook her head while the soldier watched. I had more than enough time with the soldier watching to bandage myself up, and the soldier turned to us. ¡°Okay, We are done here. We have taken your statements. If there are further follow-ups, you may record them in any part of the Federation space. Please don''t leave federation space in the meantime.¡± ¡°No plans to leave the federation at this time,¡± I said, looking at Ura. ¡°Too expensive to leave,¡± Ura said, nodding. The Soldier didn''t look impressed. ¡°Well, We will be taking the bodies and doing one last scan of the place. After that, you can clean up and do what you need to do.¡± The Female soldier finished, and I sighed and double-checked my bandages. I noticed the notifications, but I decided to wait till the soldiers were gone till I looked at them. Ura still seemed a little shaken but less inclined to talk. I continued to check my bandages while the soldiers took the corpses of the Hextars, being careful of the traps. It didn''t take them long, and I left the Workshop with Ura seeing them off as a soldier searched the cargo bay. It seemed that they had a device in hand as we walked in and were scanning around as we walked in. They didn''t stop because we showed up and we watched till they were done. Nothing was said to us as they cleaned up the bodies. The soldier came up to me one last time, ¡°As a bounty hunter, we must figure out if any of them had a bounty on their head. If they did, your gear is your claim. Would you like to have that gear paid out in Credits along with the bounty, or would you like the gear itself, although that comes with shipping fees?¡± ¡°Just the credits,¡± I replied, knowing that I would make less from them than pawning them myself, ¡°We will make more shipping than selling the guns,¡± I told her, and the soldier woman nodded. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. ¡°Thank you for your cooperation. We will be sending you a message with the inventory when we get things back and cataloged. Please let us know if you think anything was missed or if you are missing something from your ship.¡± ¡°I most definitely will,¡± Ura said with a smile, ¡°We will look and report it to you if they did. My hired muscle,¡± Ura continued while placing a hand on my shoulder, ¡°Thoroughly pushed them back. I will let you know if we missed something.¡± ¡°Good to hear,¡± The soldier replied, ¡°My badge number is 663399 name is Yawa. Just call asking for that; it will also be in the report sent to you and your muscle.¡± With that, she walked down the ramp, all the soldiers following, leaving the ship a mess of blood and traps. We raised the ramp, and I turned to Ura. ¡°Call the other buyers. Make a deal and make sure only one comes. We have the Federation credits already from the last dumbasses. Give them a bit of a discount but make it to a Gang that can rival the ones we just pissed off and killed. It will make one side more pissed off while giving you a more powerful contact, maybe if we ever need to come back,¡± I told Ura, and she nodded. ¡°Plus, if they get a deal, they probably won''t try to rob us,¡± Ura added in, and I nodded. ¡°I need to clean up and rearm the traps just in case. Please get started; I want to leave this planet sooner rather than later. I think we will be in trouble if we stay the night. Don''t pick up any deliveries either. We made enough to take a small loss.¡± I told her, and Ura blushed. ¡°Cant already took a contract. They should be here in an hour to drop off containers full of a specialty product called Hydra sand that can only be made here. It is being sent to a Core world with a nice delivery fee. Completely above board and the Insurance company loves our speed. Your potential to kill hijackers might make insurance companies love us more if things pan out. I am not going to have a problem finding delivery jobs, it seems,¡± Ura told me with a smile. ¡°Good, then,¡± I turned her physically towards the bridge, ¡°Go get a buyer for the black products and get them out of our hold. I think the authorities might be onto us, and I am thinking of dumping it into space over keeping it on the ship.¡± Ura¡¯s expression turned dark as she heard how serious it was. I quickly learned something about Ura in this moment. Credits and Deliveries were very serious business for her. She wasn''t nearly as Nonchalant about it as she tried to show me. I liked that fact, though, and I saw her head off as I limped over traps and grabbed cleaning supplies. Quickly I got to work cleaning up the blood with something that said it should clean it up. It didn''t take too long for me to complete it, and I grabbed my tools, limping as my leg hurt like hell when Ura came out of the bridge. ¡°I got a buyer, I had to delay him for another two hours, and I will be paid four hundred thousand Federation Credits for it. I lowered the price and told him that because of the other gang, I would like him to put additional pressure on them in exchange. Keep them off our backs while we are still here and any time we are here in the future for at least five visits, along with owing me one. He wasn''t happy but agreed on the name of two hundred thousand lass Credits in cost. So he is going to make a lot of credits for helping us.¡± Ura reported, and I nodded. ¡°Good, Good!¡± I replied happily, ¡°We can use that later, but I am going to rearm the traps just in case. I cannot be too careful with these things,¡± I continue, ¡°Hopefully, I can rig something that we can just turn off and on if we need them. That time isn''t now, though.¡± I finished, and Ura smiled. ¡°I love how Paranoid you are,¡± She said, and I froze to look at her. Did I get a paranoid trait? I was too busy to be distracted, so I got to work. Resetting the triggers didn''t take much time, and I reloaded the handgun and I checked my current supplies when I realized I had those Hextar assault rifles from Pervona. I could have made a trap with those to kill more. I frowned and realized I had fallen in love with my own ideas at the time. I promised to look over what I had first next time before making traps again. It wasn''t long before I was standing behind Ura as she accepted an order of Hydra Sand. It was three large cargo containers of them, and another shipment came in with Ura blushing and me looking at her. ¡°I forgot I ordered supplies and more parts for the ship for us.¡± Ura said, ¡°We have a two-day run to the next planet, and I am tired at the moment and forgot to tell you.¡± I shook my head a little, and I watched as they loaded up an additional container. I was on edge and injured, with pain shooting up my leg as I stood on it. I would have to do something about that once this was over. For now, I gritted my teeth and watched. Not long later, the next set of thugs showed up without guns visible. They lowered an air lorry and looked at Ura. ¡°We are here for the goods,¡± A male Hextar said, and Ura motioned for him to pay. Without complaint, he did. I pointed at the cargo lift point, and he nodded as the ramp closed. It went so smoothly as Ura opened up the hidden compartment and brought it out for them. The Hextar thugs didn''t check the goods; they just took them to the Air Lorry and secured the goods. The male Hextar came back and said, ¡°Our boss wants to thank you, Ura. He said that our rivals took a hit financially, and some muscle died in the attack on your ship. It seems that some land may change hands here soon,¡± He said, and Ura nodded. ¡°As long as he remembers the favor and does business like this,¡± Ura motioned around us at the exchange of the goods, ¡°Then our business will always be profitable.¡± The Hextar did something like a smile, ¡°May we do business in the future,¡± He said, walking away, and we brought the lift back up while the Air lorry lifted off the ground. I turned to Ura as the Cargo bay locked up and said, ¡°Get us off this planet quickly. Something tells me things are going to light up in their world, and we don''t want to be here when it happens.¡± Ura nodded and made her way to the bridge, carefully stepping over traps as I limped behind her. ¡°What makes you think that?¡± Ura asked as we moved and reached the bridge. ¡°We just dumped the spy gear from Pervona here, and the syndicate that I just killed a bunch of members of is probably thinking of revenge. Then we sell the product they paid twice the amount for to their rivals for half the price.¡± I looked at Ura, ¡°You burned someone, and I killed a bunch,¡± I said, looking straight into her eyes. ¡°I would be even more scared if they weren''t pissed.¡± Ura looked at me and nodded, ¡°Noted. They burned me as a smuggler when they attacked anyways. Let us get this shipment up in the air. While we are in the air, Disable the traps?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Plan on it,¡± I told her truthfully. With both of us in agreement, we were soon in the air both to our relief and back into space. I quickly set myself to work and made plans to log off and see if I could find some tutorials for wielding. The soldier was right; they were shit and barely holding things together. Chapter 18: Traits Information ¡®It didn''t take long for me to at least take out the triggers from all my traps. I was especially careful with the shotgun trap. It was a junk shotgun, and I took out the ammo making sure that the trap was completely disarmed. It was something that I was worried a little if they entered just past the workshop that it would explode and do more damage than I intended. It was the damage to the ship that I most cared about, though, and so as I finished things up, I started to pack it all back in the workshop. Ura seemed happy to move easily around the ship again, and she looked at me. ¡°We have at least two days in the slipstream¡ªgreat speed for us. We will need to pick up a package for a more shady area though. If we are going to pick up an engineer that is a slave, we will need to head to a black space station. The slave markets that are more reputable are unaffordable,¡± Ura explained, ¡°I will count on your protection than too.¡± I nodded as I finished organizing the dismantled booby traps. ¡°NO worries, I want a say in who we get through. Maybe we should find something so we can create our own slaves too. Never know what will happen while bounty hunting,¡± I said as I looked through my things. ¡°Slave chips are pretty common. Frowned to be caught holding them, but with the cargo bay, we can keep a few.¡± Ura said, looking at me, ¡°Still, It isn''t that bad of an idea. Criminal help is still good to help when they are chipped.¡± A conversation like this told me that if we went with the good to the evil scale of rating, Ura was firmly in the neutral evil category. She didn''t give a fuck as long as it benefitted her. She had almost just been enslaved herself, which almost didn''t seem to phase her. I looked up from my gear and turned to her. ¡°What is the next planet that we are heading to?¡± I asked. ¡°An industrial planet but much different than Pervona. It is called Telop, and a number of weapon manufacturers like the planet because of the number of raw materials there. You just need to ship the rarer goods onto the planet to keep up production. Like we are bringing,¡± Ura said and leaned against the bulkhead, ¡°Probably had a shipment taken by pirates and needed an emergency order to tie them over till a cargo ship brings a larger shipment.¡± I didn''t get how pirates worked in this game yet and how they took the ships. That would be something for me to learn over time, maybe even join in eventually. I couldn''t wait to see how PVP ended up in this game. In the tutorial, it seemed I wouldn''t have to worry about it. I didn''t know why Gabin Corporation did this, but I enjoyed the freebie they gave everyone. ¡°That makes sense,¡± I replied, and I turned to Ura fully, ¡°You have nothing to do right now, don''t you?¡± I asked. Ura¡¯s face turned purple, and I grinned as she turned her head. ¡°So?¡± She asked. ¡°Although I would like to spend some time with you, Ura,¡± I began looking her up and down, knowing she caught my head deliberately moving up and down in the corner of her eye, ¡°I need to practice and lock myself in here a little. I want to practice some welding and other things. I would like some time, and I will play with you,¡± I paused, licking my lips, and her already purple face turned a shade darker, ¡°Play with you hard, Later.¡± I could see a pout, but she nodded in understanding, and I grinned. ¡°I will let you know when I want to eat some lunch or dinner or whatever. We didn''t eat down on the planet, so I think we should eat soon,¡± I told her, and Ura nodded. ¡°Okay, I am going to jump on the net and think about a slave post that we can pick up a good engineer without going out of our way,¡± Ura said, her blushing face turning, and she showed her tight ass to me. She deliberately swayed it for me, and I let my face fall to a frown as she tried to entice me. I loved that ass, but Ura was a little needy now. She was an NPC, and I wasn''t sure if my saving her at Pervona caused issues or not mentally for her. Did Gabin Corporation include that much information? I knew that the processing power they were consuming for this game was unreal. I wondered what the numbers were in total for the game. I still had those notifications too in the corner of my eye. I contemplated only for a second, instead choosing to log off. Although not much time passed, I needed to look at welder videos. I laid my head on the table and chose to log out. Moments later, my eyes shut. My eyes opened and the pod lid lifted, and I felt a little drained. I decided I would also start the vote for what I would wear to bed on the vote, and I got up. I stretched and loudly moaned, hearing it slightly echo in my quiet house. I picked up my phone, was showing a notification, and noticed it was a call from my mother. Instantly I decided against that phone call. I didn''t want to deal with her shit and ask for more money. I simply didn''t have it after buying the pod and rent. I was close to making my next rent payment, but that did not mean it wasn''t in a little bit of a pinch financially. The monthly payment soon to Gabin Corporation wasn''t small either. The subscription would hopefully be how I pay the rent in the future. There were rumors that Gabin Corporation would eventually open a cash system where you could convert credits in the game to real-life money for a processing fee and some to the corporation. Many didn''t believe that, though, as it would be bad overall for the health of the game. Gabin Corporation didn''t have a history of it either. I shook my head, turned on the water for more noodles, and headed back to my computer, booting everything up. Quickly it booted up, and I started to think about what was in my other bedroom. Mentally picking out outfits, I started to put them in the vote once everything was up. I gave the perverts a ton of time to vote and put in that it would be a shorter stream as I was still in the tutorial for Galaxy online once I noticed the complaints that I woke up early. And that they didn''t get to see me with morning wood or anything like that. Many complained about it, so I put up a message saying that I never put up a timer for these things unless necessary. But with me playing Galaxy online, I would note that I was waking up early these days and would have an alarm. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. They were simple notes, and I put up the vote again and signed out with a sigh. Although I didn''t care about the complaints, they did pay to vote. What most wanted to see was me waking up, hoping that I would start jerking off with my cock and, or my pussy. They were how I paid rent, so I had to make a show as I cared. Instead, I started searching for the trades I was looking for. Welding was a must, and so I started from there when I heard my water click. I got up and grabbed more noodles and felt my stomach slightly revolt at the thought of noodles for the third time in a row. I had better food than I would make tonight, but I didn''t have much time. I was locked in the workshop, leaving Ura by herself, and I wanted to study this seriously. I prepared my noodles as I watched the first tutorial and realized many reasons why things came out badly. I frowned and watched and began to eat and study. I took out a notepad and watched while jotting down things I might find important later. I never realized before how hard this could be as I jumped to the next and realized how many variations there would be, and this wasn''t a one-time thing. I sighed after finishing my fourth video of a different type and decided to look at the forums. I was astonished to see the top trending title. DO NOT LEAVE THE TUTORIAL EARLY! Instantly I clicked it and began to read and got a serious expression. It seems that the tutorial, although hard was easy compared to the main game. Someone spent some time in it, and everyone had something in common in the tutorial. The Contract with some type of company or military depends on Race and class. It seems the Lore of this game was serious business, and you had to pay attention to it. The Author of this post also noted how important RP was but wasn''t sure how important it was. The post went on to say that the traits were important for some reasons, like attributes and that once you leave the tutorial, finding ways to make Credits was much much harder. In the next point, he continued by saying that PvP and PvE were not dissimilar as some people attacked him, and he wasn''t sure if it was an NPC or humans. The difficulty of both was insane compared to most games. I read on, but it was mostly complaints, and I didn''t see anything more about taking NPCs with you or something along those lines. It would suck if I lost the ship and Ura. It was kind of nice having someone to release pent-up tension on, and Ura was cute with her purple blushes. Smiling, I decided that it was a good choice to keep on the contract and pay out the bounty office on Pervona. I would test my traps, work on my sniper rifle skills, and make guns. I was a gun specialist, and I would tie them all together. Ultimately I wanted to be the ultimate base defender glass cannon. My job wasn''t to be in the line of fire. It would be to be in the background while teammates move towards objectives while I protect our own. If there was Capture the flag or hold the position in tournaments in the future, no team wouldn''t want to sign with me, and I would make a fat check at that time. Adding on the fact I was an attractive female Cat girl. I was bound to be popular. I grinned and got up, stretching, and moved to the pod. I got in and closed my eyes, and laid back, logging back in. When they closed, my eyes opened right back up, and I was on a spaceship hurling through slipstream again. I picked up my tools and heard a buzz before Ura spoke. ¡°I''m making dinner now; It will be ready soon, Sleepy Wonder.¡± Quickly I got down to work welding things together and frowned as they didn''t come out the same as the video. I continued to practice instead of being let down until I heard the intercom summon me again for dinner. ¡°I''ll be there in a minute,¡± I said in reply and finished what was my best weld so far. This was going to be a pain in the ass, but I was motivated. I would do this and learn to do this so I could make more cash and make money with endorsements in the pro league. I was looking forward to it. A moment later, I was frowning as I messed up at the end. I sighed and got up before unlocking the workshop and joining Ura at the small table. Ura smiled as I sat down, and I still had a frown. ¡°Everything okay?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Will be,¡± I told her, ¡°Just need to work on my welding more till I get things down. After all, I want to make more powerful and precise weapons. I cannot stop with just this.¡± I continued slowly after taking a bite of the delicious food she had prepared. No idea what it was, though, ¡°I think I need to rework my basics till I get used to it. I didn''t notice how bad I was back at Pervona till I looked at some specs of better weapons. Then I want to start understanding the experimental blueprints I picked up.¡± I finished, and Ura nodded. ¡°I see; that will take some time,¡± Ura said, ¡°And Credits. Still, Long term investment. I heard of Researcher traits in people. Extremely rare.¡± I looked at her at that comment. ¡°What do you mean by researcher traits?¡± I asked. ¡°Oh, Something that is hypothesized in our Galaxy many years ago, and the Military somewhat uses it in recruitment. Traits are things everyone has. Laziness is a trait for those that don''t want to do much, and no company wants to hire them. Efficient, on the other hand, I hear some companies will pay a lot for it. Although some call efficient people lazy in the past, some companies have started to take note, and you can even include it on resumes. Someone has to vouch for it, though.¡± Ura shrugged, ¡°Still, All theoretical and not all companies go by the theory.¡± I looked at her and realized what a treasure mine of information that was. Ura was Ex-Military and must have made some credits overall to afford a ship like this. Even if she was in debt, they trusted her to be a secure investment. I looked at her as I ate her food and realized there may be more to Ura than I knew yet. ¡°Interesting, Can you earn these traits?¡± I asked her. ¡°All of it is earned to be recognized. Like I would say, you are Devious. Or a trapper with those booby traps you made. There are various others I noticed and appreciated,¡± Ura said, ¡°I am not exactly the most upright person myself, you see.¡± I chuckled and leaned back, ¡°Well, I hope I can get this researcher trait you speak of,¡± I told her with a smile, and Ura smiled back. Chapter 19: Spending time with Ura* Dinner with Ura was delicious, and Ura stated that she was going to go to sleep soon. She winked at me, and I knew she wanted some action, but I wasn''t in the mood for it. ¡°I will wake you when I want to enjoy your company,¡± I told her with a smile, ¡°Make up for the other night,¡± I licked my lips, and Ura¡¯s purple blush made her even more charming as she soon turned and went up to the crew area. Following that, I went back to the workshop and lost myself for hours in getting better at welding. Soon it started to look good, and things stuck together properly and tightly. I knew I could do better, but it was also starting to reach an acceptable level. With hours into work done, it was probably afternoon outside, and I promised I would wake Ura for a little fun. I packed some things up before I moved to the shower and stripped them before showering. I cleaned my body and felt my double-D breasts in this world. They were remarkably sensitive like the rest of my body, and soon my cock was throbbing in anticipation. I wasn''t about to jerk off when I had a woman on my bed waiting in sleep for me to wake her up with sudden penetration. Smirking, I decided to check my notifications finally from the previous fight. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked Well Prepared A well-prepared fight is one an Enemy should fear. ¡ª ¡ª- New Trait Unlocked Planned ahead. You planned and followed through with a plan. ¡ª-- ¡ª- New Trait Unlocked Booby Trap Love You Love Booby traps and plan around using them. ¡ª- ¡ª- New Trait Unlocked Bait Baited an enemy towards a trap ¡ª- Four traits from the fight. I liked the last one as it may help bait traps in the future that I set. I also couldn''t lie and not say that I didn''t enjoy the booby traps that I set. I was called devious my life many times, and I had Ex-boyfriends that I had caught in traps before. My mood dropped with that as I remembered Dylan and him with my friend years ago. I didn''t like that thought, so I shook it out of my head. I finished washing off the grease, and I smirked as I wondered what I should do to Ura. I wanted to wake her up but not hurt her. Hurting someone wasn''t out of the question in my mind. Pain and pleasure were two sides of the same coin, and I could see that Ura was a little bit of a Masochist. I doubted that she was into anything extreme, but I could tell that after admitting to me that she slept with me while I was sleeping that she didn''t have a sleep fetish. Not long later, I was drying myself off and quickly climbed up into the crew quarters and ducked into Ura¡¯s or what should have been my bedroom that I claimed. She lay there on the bed naked, sleeping soundly. Her breathing was soft, and her blue breasts rose slowly before falling. I smiled, and my cock hardened as I got on the bed. I heard a soft groan from Ura as I got on the bed and watched her shift her body a little. Her legs were a little open, but I couldn''t reach her pussy without moving her legs which I slowly lifted softly. I spread her legs, and she fell onto her back from her side. She groaned a little and her arms shifted a little to above her head, and I looked down at the naked blue beauty below me. Smiling as I looked down at her purple nipples, I noticed that she had kicked off the blanket I had on the bed with the fabric pooling to the back side of the bed. I ignored it as I slowly brought my mouth down on her pussy, and my fingers split open the lips covering her cunt. Blue flesh opened up to me, and I brought my tongue forward and softly began to lick her pussy. I slowly warmed her up, and her pussy tasted almost like strawberry as I ate at her pussy. My tongue dipped into her sex, and I heard her moan as that pink juice started to coat my tongue and mouth as she softly moaned. I continued till my mouth and face were covered with her pussy juices. Not one of my girlfriends in the past would ever complain about me eating out their pussies, and I loved giving oral. Ura began to moan louder and louder, even as I heard her breath pick up in that beautiful sleepful pleasure. I looked up, and I heard that sleep-filled bliss as I ate her pussy softly as her juices began to fill up my mouth. Her soft moans were loud in the silence of the ship, and I grinned as my cock throbbed and my smile turned sadistic as her breathing was rapid when I stopped eating her juicy pussy. Already I could tell that her body missed my tongue inside of her, and I moved forward and lifted her legs up to her ears, and I could see her eyes starting to flutter as the movement was irregular. Her body just started to wake up, but her mind was nowhere near awake as it was still in that bliss just moments before I lifted her legs and pulled them apart. I moved above her, and there was barely enough room for me to position myself into a pile driver. ¡°Time to wake up, Ura,¡± I said softly, my words clearly not registering in her head when my cock drove down into the depths of her pussy with a single thrust. Her pussy¡¯s walls clamped down shut on my cock, sucking harder than ever, and she screamed in pleasure as her walls followed up with spasming. I felt her pussy spray my hips with liquids in a massive wake-up orgasm that forced her brain to wake up, and her eyes shot open in surprise. I didn''t give her a chance to catch up before I began to fuck her alien cunt so hard that she couldn''t help but moan while her arms wrapped around my neck as she screamed. ¡°FUCK ME!¡± She cried over and over, and I drove my cock into her at a steady hard pace, with my balls slapping her ass with each thrust. Her pussy sucked on me in every direction, and the sadistic pleasure of making her cum with the first thrust filled my head with pleasure, even as her pussy sucked on me in a way no human woman or man could. I moaned in pleasure, joining her cries of pleasure and screams of gratitude at my wonderful wake-up call. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. This type of pussy was one that I enjoyed to the max, and I felt my cock throbbing inside of her, and I released without a care in the world. Ura screamed in a fresh orgasm as I filled her cunt with the semen it desperately tried to suck out of me. I moaned and leaned down and kissed her while poking her alien womb with small thrusts making her have small, light orgasms as I continued to thrust my semen deep into her cumdump of a womb. I didn''t pull out when my ejaculation came to an end. Instead, we laid side by side, and I pulled her to me, and I began to thrust into her again with the sheets of the bed moving with Ura and me, deepening the kiss as much as she could. I could feel her pleasure and need, and it was for hours that I lost myself in fucking the spaceship captain and what was technically my NPC boss. With a new notification in the corner coming up at some point, I fell asleep with Ura in my arms much later. When I woke up, it had been four hours in the game world, and I felt much better and more focused. I began to wonder if there were hidden mechanics in the game when it came to sleep to make the tutorial even more difficult and as a subtle way to make sure gamers didn''t stay in the pod for over twenty-four hours. I turned my head, and a much rougher-looking Ura clung to me, her head on my breast while my arm was snuggly between her E-cup breasts. Slowly I tried to remove my arm, but I woke Ura attempting to do so, and I watched her eyes flutter open. ¡°Hey,¡± Ura said, ¡°That was amazing,¡± She followed up a second later. ¡°You like being fucked like that?¡± I asked, curious. Ura¡¯s face turned purple, and she nodded, ¡°I don''t like being forced, but that?¡± Ura¡¯s voice trailed off. Her face turned a deeper shade of purple, and she looked down a little showing her shy side. ¡°That was amazing. I woke up to the biggest orgasm I think I have ever felt. There was no pain, only bliss, as suddenly I had been woken up to a large burst of pleasure. Sure, confusion hit as I thought I was drugged for a moment at the pure bliss. Then I recognized it and loved it. Please, Make me your bitch when you want to do anything,¡± Ura finished, and her blush only deepened as her words hit home. I smirked, pushed her down onto the bed, and grinned. ¡°You want to belong to me, Ura?¡± I asked, my smile dark, ¡°Not slavery, but you will be mine if you say yes,¡± I told her, ¡°I will do what I want when I want, whenever I want to you. You will accept it like the bitch you want to be. Want that, Ura? To belong to me?¡± I asked her. Ura looked surprised at that question, and her blushing face turned away. ¡°W-¡± Her blushing face turned away, and I could see a struggle on her blushing face. ¡°I don''t know,¡± I heard Ura admit, ¡°I do want to continue whatever this is, though?¡± She said, her tone making it a question. ¡°Then we will continue whatever this is, Ura,¡± I told her with that smile and reached down to kiss her purple lips as. I saw relief pour through her even as I kissed her. I pushed up my body a moment later and got out of bed. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Ura asked with a pout on her face. ¡°Got a lot of bitch juice on my mouth and face to wash off. Joining me?¡± I asked with a grin as I slowly couched out of the crew quarters. Another half hour later, I finished pleasuring Ura in the shower and got dressed in the same clothing as before. It was starting to feel greasy, and I frowned. Ura was busy recovering in the shower but turned off the water as I headed into the workshop to begin practicing again. I wanted to reach at least journeymen on the things related to creation. I never had an interest in these things before in the real world. This wasn''t the real world, though, and the thought of trapping humans in a large defense in PVP battles was enticing me. I wanted to become the Trap queen, and I knew that would take work. I needed to get better with the basics, and with the tutorial, I would have just over a month to get up to journeymen. I would then start to see if I could learn the things in this game world that passed as research and get into that. I couldn''t wait to see what was up with the mechanics of this world and got inside my workshop. Quickly I sat down and began a new weld when I heard Ura come into the room as I worked. I ignored her till I failed just at the end again, and I sighed at the small mistake. Sure it would still work overall, but it was messy, and these were thick welds. Eventually, I would get to smaller and smaller welds where sloppiness was utterly unacceptable. Then I set down my tools for a moment and turned to a haggard-looking Ura. Her face still blushed purple a little as she looked at me. Her clothing was the same jumpsuit, and I grinned at the tight clothing but realized the issue. ¡°We are going to need to do some clothing shopping soon,¡± I told her, ¡°These clothes are getting dirty, and I don''t want to wear the same thing every day. Plus,¡± I said, pointing at the hole in my leg with the large bloodstain. ¡°I need to rebandage myself and sterilize.¡± Ura nodded as I pulled up my pants just enough and slowly removed the wet bandages. The pain in this game didn''t seem to be long term with Gabin Corporation probably thinking that if they simulated the entire recovery, it would piss people off. ¡°You are correct on that,¡± Ura said, ¡°They took away my clothing, it seemed, and I have nothing but this jumpsuit,¡± Ura continued, ¡°I think you should also pick up a bounty while we are there while I look for a dark package.¡± I nodded and motioned her forward, and Ura obliged, and I kissed her. ¡°Be a good girl, and let me work for a couple of hours in here after this, Ura. I really need to get better at these things. We might not need it now,¡± I said, seeing her pout, ¡°But I will later if we want to buy a bigger ship eventually and maker more credits and maybe a fleet.¡± Ura still pouted but nodded. ¡°Okay, Sorry to bother you,¡± She said, sulking. ¡°Ura,¡± I almost yelled as she turned away, making her look at me. ¡°I am practicing my craft, and although you want attention and are bored. That doesn''t mean I don''t care about you. It means I need to practice and get better at this. Do not mix business and pleasure. I am your protection, and I need to increase the power of my guns and my craft. I am a Rish, and I love my guns. I do not wish to pick between the two.¡± I told her both lies and truths to her. Ura was an NPC with a huge amount of processing power. I didn''t know if she counted as mental masturbation, but it was a huge relief to have her around, and damn was she good in bed. Her pussy was first class, but I also had ambitions, and I wouldn''t let her pouting stop them. Ura looked at me, and I saw her spine return, and she nodded. ¡°Sorry,¡± Ura suddenly said, her demeanor returning, ¡°I suddenly started to act clingy, and your right. I need you to be strong, and you need me to be the best businesswoman. I can see the ambition and don''t want to be left behind. I will get to work on the net and leave you to it. I need to try as hard as you are, at least.¡± With that, she walked out, and I saw that fine ass in that jumpsuit as she walked away. I looked at the notification, saw another new one, and took a look. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked BasicTrainer Train someone or something to conform to do things you want them to do ¡ª ¡ª New Trait Unlocked Motivation Speaker Give a motivational speech that spurs someone into action. ¡ª I frowned and realized I still had little understanding of the Trait system in this game and didn''t know whether these were good traits. Chapter 20: Offer Attempt after attempt, I continued to get slightly better but got bored quickly too. It was interesting, but I wanted to try other things out as well. I had been in the game for hours in real life, too, and I would need to eat again in real life. Probably something more than just noodles too. I quickly laid down my head as our spaceship moved through the slipstream, and my eyes quickly woke up in the real world. I groaned as the pod lid came up and felt stiff all over. My legs and arms had remained unmoving for hours, and I groaned again as I got out of the pod. I looked at the time and still had plenty of time today to play. Like six or seven hours before I would need to sleep. I got moved to the kitchen as my stomach growled in protest. I pulled out some meat from the freezer, quickly stuck it into the microwave, and put it on for a small amount of time. I needed to eat something proper instead of noodles, and I pulled some veggies out of my fridge and started to chop things up. That was when I got a phone call and signed, walking back into my room to pick it up. Quickly I was surprised by the caller ID showing the name of a gamer buddy from the last game I played. I quickly picked up, ¡°Target Locked!¡± I happily exclaimed as I returned to the kitchen, putting the phone on speaker, ¡°Still playing Yellow Desert professionally?¡± I asked. ¡°Who the fuck would be playing that with Galaxy Online existing?!¡± Target exclaimed. ¡°Those who were not smart enough to pre-order a pod?¡± I replied with a question, and I heard a chuckle. ¡°Still as harsh as ever, Sleepy Wonder. Still showing that hot body off every night to the world?¡± He asked back. ¡°Bah,¡± I scoffed back as I started to prep my food, ¡°Don''t think I don''t know that you voted for me to wear that pink lace baby doll lingerie each night, Target,¡± I said with a smile on my face I knew he couldn''t see. ¡°I am not even going to dignify that with a response.¡± Target replied, ¡°Still, I didn''t call you regarding your exhibitionism,¡± he said, pausing for a moment. I continued to chop and prep food as I waited for him to continue instead of filling the silence. ¡°Be that way then and not ask me. I will tell you anyways. I was asking if you found any teams you want to join yet?¡± Target asked. ¡°Nope,¡± I replied as I turned on the stove to start heating a pan and grabbing the meat out of the microwave, ¡°I haven''t had any offers and probably wouldn''t accept any yet, to be honest. Not sure what the playing field is going to look like since I haven''t left the tutorial,¡± I told him. ¡°Nice!¡± He exclaimed immediately, ¡°Many found out the game world is harder than the tutorial, and the tutorial is pretty harsh. I am playing a casting Moon elf and found myself in the Elven military in a boot camp, Sleepy. It isn''t easy, and they treat you like shit there. I have a mission tomorrow, so I don''t have much time because of the time dilation. Gabin Corporation must be spending massive amounts of power on their game.¡± ¡°I couldn''t agree with you more there. Although the main game will not have the dilation, I cannot believe the massive amounts of power they are spending on it.¡± I agreed. ¡°Well, What are you doing?¡± He asked, probing. ¡°Bounty Hunter,¡± I replied shortly, ¡°I got the contract still but found a way to break it without breaking it. Not saying more than that,¡± I told him. ¡°What!¡± Target half yelled as I started to prep the meat, ¡°How you do that?¡± He asked. ¡°I am sure there is probably a way for everyone, I think. Found mine by luck, and if you want the same, you can find out the same; or,¡± I couldn''t help but smile as I thought of payment, ¡°I haven''t had a male partner in a bit Target,¡± I said my voice suggestive, ¡°Want to pay with your body?¡± I asked. Silence reigned for several moments over the phone, and I began cooking my freshly seasoned meat. I let the silence continue as I focused on the meat in the pan before he replied. ¡°I have heard through the grapevine that unless I am a masochist, I wouldn''t like what you would do to me with that sexy body,¡± Target replied, his voice sober. ¡°You have heard things that shouldn''t have left the bedroom,¡± I replied with a smile on my face. ¡°That grapevine would be correct in this instance, though. So you willing to pay the price?¡± I asked. ¡°I think I will pass,¡± Target replied, and I pouted. ¡°Aw, I could use the company lately,¡± I replied, pretending to be sad for his ego. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°Anyways,¡± Target said, changing the subject, ¡°Trevor is looking for some godly players to make a corporation in Galaxy online. Wants to have some solid members that were good and preferably professionals to make up the core members of the corporation before bringing in the normals. You know, create a strong foundation before adding on all the extra meat and potatoes and all that jazz.¡± Target said. I remembered Trevor, Or his user name Forsaken Overlord. He was a strong player that was better in the background of guilds or corporations or whatever the game wanted to call them. He was good at finding sponsors and investors so that people could focus on gaming and not on the bills. He did great with a previous company called Plug Gaming. It continued through several games and almost made it huge when a couple of back-to-back controversies happened. I heard from my sources, though, that it had nothing to do with him. Four players on different teams were caught cheating in different games, and it polluted people''s perception of Plug Gaming. His investors started to run, and the Sponsors followed closely behind. ¡°I heard he liquidated Plug Gaming and made out still with some money. Broken contracts worked in his favor in the end, as he never went public. What is he thinking this time?¡± I asked curiously. ¡°He thinks that PVP in Galaxy Online is going to be money killers in the game. Imagine losing a spaceship worth millions of credits. That with the fact of that rumor going around saying that there may be a real-world money trade instead of tokens that cannot be turned back into real money makes this game very interesting to corporations in the real world.¡± Target explained, and I intently listened as he did so and began to cook my veggies and checked the meat as he continued, ¡°That isn''t all. The flexibility in the game means that wars in it are going to be refreshing and interesting to all those watching it. We think the pro league is going to be huge. Plus, you know that Gabin Corporation puts money in the pot themselves for their pro leagues. They put down millions in the past because it sells their games. Saves them a ton of money on advertisements as well.¡± He added in, and I couldn''t help but nod. It was one of the selling factors as to why I bought the pod in the first place. ¡°Look, Target,¡± I began, ¡°I understand what you are saying. I really do. I am not picking a team at this moment. In fact, I think Trevor should probably be starting this early as well for a corporation, and I wouldn''t mind saying to him that I am interested. BUT!¡± I almost yelled the last word as I stirred my food. ¡°I am not putting my name into his corporation yet. I want a good contract and a deal which I think will be better if I wait instead of hooking up with the first boy that comes barking at my feet. You understand me?¡± I asked in the end. ¡°You are interested but want to see what others offer, including ourselves?¡± Target replied, his tone making it a question. ¡°You are correct, Target,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°At this point, I have rent covered, I have the tutorial space, and the game will be out for an entire day in just a couple of minutes or hours. I am not putting my Sleepy Wonder name into the first bidder''s pocket. I also think waiting for me to leave the tutorial is the best for me. Because who knows what I will have when I enter the main world of Galaxy Online? Maybe you couldn''t even afford me?¡± I chuckled with my last words and heard a sigh on the other end of the line. ¡°This is why you have problems on teams. Sleepy,¡± Target shot back. ¡°Target,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°I believe I have a plan that will make me wanted by every team. If I mismanage and fuck it all up, then I will blame myself and not others. I could be messing everything up by telling you no now. But I am saying no for now. I am interested and would like to see your offer,¡± I said as I checked my food and noticed that it was almost done, so I grabbed a plate. ¡°So send me the offer, and we can talk about this later,¡± I paused for a moment and turned to the phone, ¡°Also, if my build works out and your team doesn''t have me, you will regret it,¡± I told him with a cute voice. ¡°Enjoy talking to your master, Target!¡± I exclaimed, walking over to my phone and hitting the end. I loved teasing Target. Perpetually a follower but a great teammate. I liked him when I played with him in the past, but I wasn''t the best in teams. Or that wasn''t fully true. It was the fact that I was one of the few female gamers at the peak of gaming when I was on a team, making me a hard fit when nerdy boys didn''t know how to talk to me. I lost a contract with KL Gaming five years ago because of that. I was the best fragger on the team and the superstar, but we couldn''t win any game because of my teammates. Other teams saw it as me because when they kicked me off their team, the other players got much better, and the team started to win tournaments. To the outside world, it looked like I was the issue. Everyone in the league knew it was because my teammates were unable to perform despite my trying my best to perform with them. That was around Derek as well, I thought, and my mind turned dark as I plated my food and took my food to the computer. That last thought ruined my mood, and I turned on some gun videos and making gun videos. I soon forgot about other things and engrossed myself in the world of manufacturing weapons and how they worked. Before, I never really interacted with guns despite being in the first-person shooter genre of video games. I liked guns but didn''t take the time to get to know more about them. Now I realized why it was so likely for my shotgun to break on its first or second shot. The pressure from the gunpowder going off would likely make it blow up. I hadn''t thought I should reinforce where the bullet would go off, and I continued to watch more videos on how things worked. At this moment, I loved that the Americans were always putting out these videos for me to watch. It was extremely informative for my gaming needs. I forgot when I finished my food, and I finished yet another video with new thoughts and things to try in the game in order for me to make new guns. Maybe I could even turn that shotgun up a level from junk to basic. Learning how basic guns worked in real life would help me immensely in this game, so I got up from my computer and decided to try out some new things and create something instead of practicing welds. Moments later, I was getting back in the pod and lying down. I closed my eyes, and soon I was waking back up in my Worskshop, ready to get back to work on my guns. Chapter 21: Early Arrival I looked down in satisfaction as I held up the shotgun I had created for traps earlier. No longer was it a junk item but a basic shotgun that wasn''t as likely to hurt the user as it was to hurt the enemy. ¡ª Small two-barrel pipe shotgun. (Basic) A basic two-barrel pipe shotgun that will spray forward. Not made to reload normally. ¡ª I smiled that I at least fixed up the gun to the point where it wouldn''t blow up in my own hand. It wasn''t much, but it was my first freestyle, non-junk weapon. I couldn''t help but smile looking it over, but it wasn''t ever going to be a piece that I would show off to my friends at the end of the day. I put it down to the side and started to work on making a pistol. I wanted to attempt making one with the tools I had at hand, and I got to work. Progress was slow when I heard a knock, and I looked at the door as it opened. Ura was leaning on the door frame, silhouetting the door with her sexy body. ¡°We will be dropping out of Slipstream soon, Sleepy Wonder. I have found a package for a dark pickup. The package is small but highly illegal. I already have a matching shipment to the same world overall, and it will put me ahead for this month''s ship payment. We will even have enough credits for a slave, probably.¡± Ura was looking at me with an expression that said that she expected a response. I got up from my chair and stretched, ¡°I think we might want to get some new clothing,¡± I replied and looked down at my leg, ¡°I also need to check my wounds.¡± I finished, and Ura smiled. ¡°Don''t like me in just my Jumpsuit?¡± Ura asked, looking down at herself. I closed the distance and used a greasy finger on her chin to make her look at me. ¡°You look amazing,¡± I told her just before I took her lips. A minute later, I continued after breaking the kiss, ¡°But we both have been wearing the same clothing, and I think you want to dress up in some sexy clothing for me. And I want to make you scream in something sexy. So we will pick some clothes up somewhere soon. Understood?¡± I said but didn''t wait and stepped past her. I heard a sigh or something behind me, and I knew that would get to her. I would bet that her pussy was moist for me, and I was about to go have a shower, and I couldn''t help but wonder if she would join me. A moment later, I was stripping into the shower, and Ura was there and on her knees in moments, sucking me off before I began to rail her incredible pussy. Pulling her hair as I shoved her face against the metal wall as my hips thrust into her. Ura was screaming in pleasure as I took her hard and fast. Both uncaring about the grease from my work earlier as it streaked her blue skin while I pulled back out and thrust into her again and again. Her cries fueled my need, and I released into her with a large load before we started to clean each other up. Ura¡¯s sex drive for me was amazing, but we were nearing our destination and didn''t have time for another round or even a long round. We cleaned up and threw our clothing into the washer. I didn''t stick around for another round as I pulled out the Datapad and tried to understand it. Somehow the Datapad I got from Pervona looked different this time. Looking at the information, it wasn''t like it was slipping out as soon as I began to read it. Instead, I could read it clearly as a quest item, but the language was a little technical. I frowned and felt like I needed a textbook to understand it fully. I slowed down my reading and tried to get what it was talking about slowly. As I read, I found that a lot of the early work this was talking about had something to do with the bullet''s velocity. It seemed that the project I was currently reading about was an experimental ammo type; I guessed but wasn''t sure. I continued to read when suddenly Ura tossed my clothes at me. ¡°Time to dress; we have to go pick up our dark cargo within an hour. Shouldn¡¯t be too large of cargo, but we will need to escort it back,¡± Ura said with a slight pout. ¡°Annoyed I didn''t have more fun with you while not wearing clothing, Ura?¡± I asked, calling her out. Ura pouted even more and turned away, showing me that juicy ass. ¡°Yes,¡± She confessed quickly and walked away, and I couldn''t help but chuckle. ¡°I am not a sex fiend Ura. I need to learn more things for us!¡± I yelled towards her, and she turned and gave me the finger before walking away in dignified silence. I loved when women showed me a little attitude, and her clinging wasn''t that great. I couldn''t help but wonder what her programming had her as. Her personality was starting to show after almost becoming a slave. I got up and dressed and checked my bandages while I was at it. It seemed that my wounds were slowly scabbing over, and I was glad that I didn''t have to feel pain the entire time. I wondered if that would end in the main game world or if it was just my character. The pain when I was shot was something that I had gotten used to in some previous VRMMOs in the past, but the game developers quickly learned that too much pain would have no players. It seemed Gabin wanted the realisticness of pain but only for that battle. I still had a bandage around my arm from Pervona, and it no longer hurt. The bandage was no longer even showing blood which was good. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. With everything checked, I picked up my guns and ammo and started to prepare for battle if needed. It didn''t take long, and I walked to the bridge while playing with my tail deliberately. I watched Ura bring us out of Slipstream as I toyed with my tail. I unbuckled an ammo strap and grabbed hold of it with my tail. It was difficult, and I had to look down in order to facilitate my movement and reloading. My tail twirled, and I dropped a magazine from my tail. The sound of the ammo hitting the floor made Ura look back at me, ¡°Is everything alright?¡± She asked quickly before turning back to her console, and she brought us closer to the planet. ¡°No problem,¡± I replied, a little embarrassed. ¡°Just trying to teach my tail a new trick,¡± I told her, and Ura shook her head. ¡°Do it somewhere else then, as we are coming up to the landing point, and I would rather not have sudden sounds for no reason,¡± Ura said, and I nodded. I stepped out and headed to the workshop and carried the sniper magazine in my tail. It was difficult gripping with my tail, although it definitely had the strength. It was more an issue that I needed to deliberately think about gripping it than I didn''t have to do with my hands. It was a programmed muscle memory that I lacked at this point, and bringing the magazine up to my hand was hard to do. Normally my tail existed behind me and followed more or less what I wanted to be doing. Like when I went prone, it would lie flat down like a third leg so as to not make itself known. I wondered if it was something that was programmed as a helper for people like me. I don''t know, but I needed more control over my thick black tail. I felt the ship move into orbit and come down as I continued my attempts, and I held onto the worktable as I continued my attempts. I tried to bring the magazine back into the ammo holster without much success. I felt us slowing down almost in the ship before we landed, and I gave up trying to use my tail to put back the ammo. I felt frustrated at the lack of ability I was showing with my tail and reached down as we landed to put the ammo back into the holster. I sighed and stretched as the ship stopped moving and moved back out into the hallway with my arsenal all ready on my back. The next weapon I wanted to add to my arsenal would be an assault rifle. I wanted something for the mid-range combat that I didn''t really have at this time. I had a handgun, but that was mid to close-range combat as pistols were hard to aim at mid-range or far-range distances. My mind was thinking more about the types of combat that I could encounter, and the thought of grenades came into my head when I entered the bridge. ¡°Done playing?¡± Ura suddenly asked, turning to me. ¡°Thinking about what we might encounter when we go to pick up things. I am also thinking about grenades and how much fun having a grenade launcher and a couple of hand grenades might be in a fight,¡± I told her with a smile. Ura looked away with a little purple blush that I didn''t understand this time. Probably something that she was thinking of, and I was caught by how much processor power this game must take to showcase this level of personality. I liked Ura and her little blushes and everything. It was something that I was having a very hard time not noticing and trying to remain a step back from. ¡°Well, we need to go to the meeting soon. We cannot talk about the pick-up for too long till we drop off our main shipment. I already called them and told them about their shipment on my ship. After they come to pick it up, we will head off. Also, this planet has an inspection team. They should arrive before our-¡± A sudden ping for the ramp sounded, and Ura got up from her console. I walked behind her, not drawing my weapon, and soon we had an inspection team checking out our ship. It was moments like these that I realized how much that dark cargo area she spent so much on was worth. Every world seemed to inspect ships coming in. I wondered how much longer it took for cargo ships and things like that. My mind started to realize that guilds in this game would have to shape themselves as actual corporations. You would need to make money on shipping or have an economy based on more than one thing. I started to thank my stars that I was a bounty hunter and not some logistics start or something. I was a crafter mixed in as well, so I could play two aspects of the game. Then I realized there was probably a class to make Starships in this game. Guilds or Corporations would need to have starship designers and make flagships, capital ships along with cargo ships all to play this world at the highest level. I shook my head, thinking that there was no way for that to happen. It would be too massive of a scale. Instead, I watched as the inspection crew was interrupted as an Air lorry came into the spaceport dock; we were all ready to pick up our cargo. They waited for the inspection crew to finish before they came over to talk. Over two hours later, watching everything, we got the green light, the cargo was moved onto the air lorry, and we had a large transfer of credits completing the contract. Ura smiled, looking at me, ¡°We have finished up here,¡± She said and walked over, put her hands on my waist, and took the initiative as the ramp came up to kiss me. Our lips locked for several moments, and I pulled her closer and deepened it. I loved when girls took the initiative, and I pulled her breasts against my own, and my tongue dove into her mouth. My lips synced with hers, and we full out were in a make-out session. I lost track of time for a bit before I came up for a breath, and Ura was blushing. We both looked at each other with a look in our eyes that told the other that we wanted action. BEEP! We both turned towards the bridge where the sound came from, and Ura looked annoyed. ¡°Damnit,¡± She said, looking towards it, and I let go of Ura so she could go up to the console and press a button. ¡°Ura! You said we were going to meet!¡± A man snapped on the other side as soon as the call connected. ¡°Uppo, We will be heading there in a minute. Inspection and the crew clearing my last shipment took longer than we estimated. I will be there soon,¡± Ura snapped back and pressed another button. ¡°Fucking asshole with no patience,¡± Ura snapped at the console, and I knew she had ended the call. ¡°Time to go,¡± I told her, and I double-checked my handgun and made sure it was fully loaded before doing the same with my shotgun. I lifted my sniper as Ura went to the ramp and pressed the button to lower it again before looking at me as I checked my sniper rifle. ¡°Time to go,¡± Ura confirmed. A moment later, we walked down the ramp heading out of the spaceport while the ramp lifted up behind us. Chapter 22: Challenged The streets of this planet were not what I would call clean. The planet''s climate wasn''t that bad, but the spaceport was definitely the mainstay of the current area. In the distance, you could see large Factories, smaller factories, and transport cargo trucks along with lorries moving around. This was a manufacturing world, to my understanding, and the populace was located away from the Spaceport, it seemed. Ura motioned me over to a skimmer and hopped inside while I took my time following her in. ¡°To the entertainment sector,¡± Ura said as she leaned back in her seat, and I got in. ¡°We are looking to go to the Eight Light Bar there.¡± Ura finished. ¡°Are you sure of your choice?¡± The car suddenly asked as I sat in my seat. ¡°The bar you are asking for is rated two out of ten stars and is not recommended as a travel destination.¡± ¡°I am sure,¡± Ura said. ¡°On my way,¡± The car replied, and moments later, the skimmer was on the move after I closed the door. I turned to Ura, who shook her head, and so we waited in silence as the car drove through the streets of this industrial world. Factories stood tall, and very few other buildings or any plant life were visible for now. I couldn''t see a spec of green or plants among the factories as loud noises came from them. It seemed that this world wasn''t like the Hextars and was more like Pervona. Watching out the windows, we eventually broke out from the Factories that surrounded the spaceport. Now blues, greens, and purples of a forest were not too far away from the factories with a road moving through them. Side rails on the road cut off the forest from the road for a distance, and I didn''t see a plant get within three meters of the road as we drove through the forest. Speculating, I could only guess that there was something that was stopping the flora from closing that last bit of distance. After driving several miles and many other skimmers and other vehicles moving on the road with us both heading towards our area and back towards the factory, we reached a town. None of the buildings were over five floors, and you could tell the taller buildings were habitats for those working in this world. Without even realizing it, the air started to feel better too. It was even better than the starships air, and once again, I was stunned to realize how amazing this VRMMO game was. I had never felt a game reach this level of authenticity, and I knew already that Gabin Corp outdid themselves, but this was insane. I wondered if I went to a volcanic region if the air would have the smell of sulfur in the air. My mind froze, and a grin came up over my face as I realized more about this. I could make grenades with chemicals in them that could affect air quality. Tear gas and other things like Mustard gas could be used in this game if Air quality mattered. This opened up a whole new range of dangerous traps that I couldn''t use in the spaceship but out in these worlds as I collected bounties. All bets were off if they were wanted dead or alive. I could use various chemicals to render them unconscious or simply dead with a mix of grenades. The car started to slow as I felt myself realize all the possibilities and traps I could set in this game world. If I got to go pro, I would be a scourge in the first pro league, at least. Usually, the tournament holder got to make the rules, and there was a rule from Gabin Corporation that once that tournament''s rules were set, you couldn''t change them. It was an old rule from their earlier games, but they had been swift in dealing with people who broke the rule. A tournament organizer had once tried to use it to rig the games in their favor after the tournament started. Gabin Corporation withdrew their rights to use their property and everything, and the tournament organizer has never been allowed to host tournaments with their games since then. It was a swift and strong punishment that meant no one would break the rule. Or at least not if they wanted to continue their business with Gabin Corporation games. That meant I thought that I could get away with legit war crimes if I wanted to at the start of tournaments. I doubt there wouldn''t be a Tournament setup for a game as realistic as this. Gabin Corporation has too much history with Esports events. They helped create and fund them with every game they released. I couldn''t wait! Without me realizing it, the skimmer came to a stop, and the AI asked if we wanted it to stick around. ¡°Please Keep around for at least two hours,¡± Ura said, paying the Ai. ¡°Please be careful,¡± The Skimmers AI said. I stepped out and looked around. There was vegetation in the background and a couple of trees around the entrance of this place. The building in front of us had a simple sign with the name of the bar, and it looked old and uncared for. Several Skimmers were parked, and there were no buildings behind it but the forest with those unique colors. To be fair, though, I didn''t know what was unique in this game. As I looked around, I noticed no other buildings close by except another warehouse-looking building a couple of hundred meters away. Other than that, this place was clearly on a side road and meant to be off the path. This spoke of a gang gathering place, and the Warehouse was probably a place to either store stuff for those activities or a place for those activities. Either way, this bar was not meant for tourists. I turned to Ura, who stretched and looked at me. ¡°Ready?¡± she asked me with a smile. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. ¡°Sure,¡± I replied, not truly feeling it. We were headed into the dragon''s den to do business, and I doubted I could win a fight in the middle of an entire gang. Ura walked confidently forward, and I followed. Quickly I followed after Ura, who walked confidently towards the bar. We walked quickly, and I felt my tail swish around behind me. It didn''t take us long to cross what could only be a parking lot in this world with no one else to see. As soon as the door opened, that changed, and you could hear noise coming from it. My senses jumped as I realized that the soundproofing in this place was exceptional. Inside I could see a brown wood bar across a large area with many containers that were of various shapes and labels. Some were see-through, others were not, and beings sat along the bar. Each had arms, and I could see a human among them and a male-looking elf with long ears that protruded behind him an inch or so. I saw a Hextar with his foud legs dangling in the air under him as he sat at the bar drinking. It seemed that two blue women that were Ura¡¯s species sat on the far side, and three men with four arms and two legs that were completely black like the pitch of the night stood around the table. Ura turned to the black men around a table that I quickly realized was a pool table as I noticed the feel. The black man carried pool cues in one hand while another was looking over the table seriously. The last one seemed to be smoking something as he watched. Looking around, most barely paid attention to us, and I heard noise from somewhere coming from another room. It seemed that this part of the bar was only one area where people were, and there were more in another room. If something bad happened, this would be a death run. I don''t think I could get Ura out along with myself. I wasn''t even sure if I could get my amazing ass out of this so diplomacy would be the best bet every time. The person who did notice us was the black four-limbed person smoking by the pool table. ¡°Ah, Ura, Correct?¡± The man yelled over, and he motioned to us with a spare hand. ¡°Over here, we can discuss details.¡± He called out, and Ura walked over, and I joined her. ¡°Hello, you Uppo?¡± Ura asked as she crossed the room. ¡°In this spot!¡± Uppo replied cheerfully. ¡°Good, I have a slight bone to pick with you that I am sure you understand,¡± Ura said, surprising Uppo. ¡°My bodyguard here was about to show me a really good time when you called. You could have waited an extra thirty minutes while I got my rocks off before we started to head over. I am sure that you would enjoy the same?¡± Ura complained. I looked at her, stunned as she outed me as a Futanari, and Uppo looked at her, stunned in spot for a moment with whatever he was smoking in his hand. A moment later, he began to laugh, and the other two guys playing pool stopped to laugh. Ura looked at them seriously, and I watched them carefully for their reactions. A moment later, Uppo calmed down while the other two were still chuckling. ¡°I like you, Ura,¡± Uppo said, pointing with that smoking thing in his hand. It didn''t smell like tobacco or marijuana. He brought it to his mouth and took a long pull of it, and I saw it burn back a little before he took the thing out and breathed out. ¡°Sorry about that, Ura.¡± He said and sounded sincere, ¡°If I knew, I wouldn''t have called. Our mutual contact didn''t know you had backup or a lover, to be honest.¡± He said, ¡°Not their business anyways.¡± Uppo then turned to me and looked me up and down with only a raised eyebrow. ¡°You got yourself a Cat? Damn, Ura, you know how spicy the Rish can be. Those cats have a screw loose but good protection,¡± he paused and looked at me further. ¡°Sleepy Wonder saved my ass more than once,¡± Ura said. ¡°Saved me from becoming permanently retired in a way I wouldn''t have liked to. So this Rish is good and has a good head on her. Some might be downright insane, but¡± Ura shrugged. The racism I felt at this moment was pretty strong, but there was a reason they gave this species greater difficulty. I wondered when I could find out all the so-called buffs that go along with it. ¡°That is good to hear.¡± Uppo replied, turning to Ura, ¡°This a special package going to the Pirate space station Two-bit.¡± Ura shook her head, ¡°Who named that station?¡± She asked, shaking her head. ¡°I don''t know some two-bit criminal without a mind?¡± Uppo said with a smile. He took another long puff, ¡°I doubt that Yallow over there will steal from our delivery person or me, but it better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it.¡± Uppo said. He tapped his fingers and looked at me for a while longer, then smiled with extremely sharp teeth that I hadn''t noticed. They were almost serrated, too, it looked like, as he smiled at me. ¡°I got an Idea.¡± Uppo suddenly said, ¡°I want you to show my crew some skills, Cat,¡± He continued a moment later, ¡°If you do it, I will give you our gang''s vouch for being a certified badass. If not, we will keep it under wraps.¡± Uppo turned to Ura, ¡°I like you, and our contact likes you, so I want to see what type of gun you have protecting you. I don''t want others to think you are easy pickings, especially if I have you moving merchandise in the future. So I want to give your Rish here a vouch from us. But I cannot have her ruining our rep.¡± He turned to me again. He looked me up and down and nodded to himself, ¡°I know you Cats are not the hand-to-hand types. Guns all the way, preferably with propellent of some type in the cartridge. So I am thinking of a rubber bullet one on one with one of my best. He is called Ricky, and we will provide you with rubber bullets. You go ahead and put them in that sniper pistol, and I think we should call off the shotgun. I want to see skill, not luck. Then have a shoot out between you and Ricky in the warehouse over there,¡± He said, pointing with one of his four thumbs in the direction of the warehouse. ¡°First to get shot losses. If you win, then you get our vouch. If you lose, nothing happens but,¡± Uppo shrugged, ¡°You would lose some rep with everyone here.¡± I couldn''t help but smile in return as I realized that I got to have some fun now. I didn''t mind a one-on-one challenge with an NPC. However, I would probably say that I had my work cut out for me. But there was much more to gain than lose, and I shrugged. ¡°Challenge accepted,¡± I told him with a grin. ¡°Excellent!¡± Uppo said and yelled out a moment later, ¡°Entertainment, Everyone! This Cat versus Ricky!¡± Cheers erupted, and I could hear the catcalling a second later. It seemed this was going to be a popular match. I turned to Ura, who was looking slightly worried, and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. ¡°Don''t worry about it,¡± I said simply with a grin. I was looking forward to this. Chapter 23: One on One It didn''t take long for them to find rubber bullets for me. I had ammo for both my handgun and my sniper. I was sure that the propellent wasn''t as strong for my sniper since that would still cause serious damage in the close distance. I took the ammo, although it was limited in total¡ªonly a couple of magazines for my sniper and five for my pistol. I swapped out my magazines, and we all moved to the warehouse. Ura looked excited, and Uppo and the other black four-limbed creatures also looked excited. ¡°I haven''t seen a one-on-one since my days in the military,¡± Ura gushed. ¡°Last one I saw ended with an Officer losing his honor and ego,¡± She said fondly, ¡°Such a good one-on-one, and I found a couple of contacts when I found the betting tables,¡± This time, her smile turned more predatory. ¡°Go out there and get em¡¯ Sleepy Wonder!¡± It seemed that the warehouse was filled with Cargo containers in long alleyways with a good sorting system. There was even a track and crane inside to move things around easily. The Gang quickly made an opening in the middle, and I walked into the center loaded with rubber bullets when a four-limbed black guy came out with a harness on. In both were handguns, and he was smiling. ¡°Cat, You need a sniper to beat me?¡± He asked, but I could hear some laughter around, and I felt there was an inside joke that I didn''t get. ¡°Only if you run away fast enough,¡± I replied and pulled out my handgun. I heard more laughter in response while the guy''s face turned serious. I remember Pistols only matches in the pro scenes. They were not easy, but far from the most difficult parts of the match. I looked at his holster and noticed that he was carrying two different types of handguns with magazines for them on the opposite side. This guy probably carried one handgun at a time but had both visible to throw people off. However, I could be wrong about that too. ¡°You think you could hit me if I ran?¡± He asked. ¡°Depends on how much practice you have being a coward,¡± I replied with a larger grin, and I saw him getting angrier. ¡°Real fucking funny, Cat,¡± He replied and turned without another word walking over towards Appo. Watching him go only for a moment, I took in more of the combat arena they set up. It was empty of cargo containers in the center, with a group gathering on the rafters and catwalks above to watch. In each corner of the cleared space, there was a hallway between the cargo containers where you could move through and move. In the clearing in the center, as I looked around, they set up small barricades that you could use for cover and boxes in the clearing. It seemingly looked random, but I could see a slight pattern with the thick metal boxes moving into it. ¡°These are the rules!¡± Appo suddenly called out, ¡°Sleepy Wonder here will be going against Ricky. One Versus one, If any of you ruffians interfere, then you will have a nice bit of tungsten or lead or whatever I fucking feel like it in a leg or two, depending on how much you interfere. That goes for you, Ura. Cheering from the sidelines is forbidden, or you lose your bet. Both these two will need silence, and just our presence can interfere with some experts.¡± Appo seemingly stared down some particular people, and I nodded. I liked there wouldn''t be cheering as my ears in this game were sensitive. ¡°Now the boundaries are no leaving the red line around these cargo lines. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, RICKY?!¡± Appo turned to him. ¡°Understood, boss,¡± Ricky replied, turning to me and smiling menacingly. ¡°IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, SLEEPY WONDER?!¡± Appo exclaimed, now turning to look at me. ¡°Understood,¡± I replied. I was feeling Ichy start shooting, and Ura closed the distance with me touching my arm. I reached over and kissed her quickly before Ura stepped back. ¡°Now time to get the audience above. This all will start with ringing this bell when I reach the rafters,¡± Appo said, pulling out a rustic-looking hotel bell to call people. I nodded, and Ricky nodded a moment later. Appo left without looking back, and I could hear people stepping up the stairs while Ricky and I stared at each other. My finger felt a need to pull out my handgun as we were only a couple of meters away from each other. ¡°Scared, Ricky?¡± I asked with a grin. ¡°Ready to retreat, so I have some target practice with my sniper?¡± Ricky glared at me, and I wondered if I was getting into his mind or if he was trying to act like I was getting to him. His smile was bright, but I could see a little tick on the corner of his mouth. Then he brought his two underarms together, crossing them while his upper arms put a fist into the other with a loud slap noise. Then an audible crack from his knuckles sounded in the rapidly quieting warehouse as the audience reached the rafters. Soon everyone stopped moving as we glared at each other, and I felt my tail start to still instead of slowly moving back and forth behind. Anticipation rose in me. I hadn''t one on one with someone in this game yet, and I hadn''t done it since my old gaming days when I was in my late teens. I felt excitement growing in me as I watched Ricky. Suddenly a bell chime echoed into the warehouse, and I drew my handgun and jumped to the side as Ricky already had a gun aimed at me. My eyes widened in surprise at that reaction speed and movement. His underarms were loose and hanging on the side while the two upper arms were holding the gun in a proper gun position that would make most police trainers happy. I dove towards the corner of the clearing as he moved to aim at me again. I dove behind a metal box and rolled into the cover. I skidded as I felt a bullet pass by, almost hitting my tail. I turned and blind-shot back at him, and I heard him quickly move as I used the sound of his heavy steps as a place marker for him. My ears tingled from the sound of the gunshots. I wanted to lay them flat to stop the sound, but I needed them more, constantly following his movements as I got back onto my feet. His feet started to move to my right and were looking to flank me. I turned and moved to the left, moving around the box, trying to be as quiet as possible. I heard him move more to the right, and I peeked out and saw him looking in the wrong direction of where I was and felt suspicious of that. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. If this was their best, and I could hear his movements while he couldn''t hear mine, then what did that make a noob like me? I moved quickly to the next cover, and Ricky turned as I moved as quietly as I could while trying to be quick. He turned to me, and I dove backward toward the cover. I was just scrambling my feet and overdid it as I did a back roll and came up to my knees and turned at the same time aiming at Ricky. That black four-limbed man looked surprised as he was moving to see me on the new side of the cover I was at, and I rose to stand and began shooting at him. Ricky was all he was cracked up to be, and he dove when he realized that I would have aimed at him first. It was like he knew a moment earlier than I did that I was going to win in speed at this moment and dove for cover. I followed him, shooting out a clip while stepping out of this close encounter, and leaped into the hallway. I heard those footsteps following me, but I had a second or two before he cleared the corner as I ran while dumping my previous magazine in my handgun. I reached the corner just as Ricky cleared the corner, and I turned the corner and finished loading the new magazine into my handgun. I turned and blind-shot around the corner. I heard a curse and scrambled back towards the corner. I turned the corner and aimed just as he dove back into the middle clearing. Grinning as I made him back off, I started to move and quickly noticed the red line in the corners of this hallway and realized this fighting map was small. I wanted to set up some traps, but that wasn''t the best idea. Camping wasn''t the best strategy, and I no longer heard him in the corner as I watched the hallway I came in through. I thought about the look of the map and realized that he could hide in a new spot if I couldn''t hear him. Instead, I looked up and Saw Ura watching with a face of mixed emotions. I grinned back at her, and I smiled as I remembered the rules. There wasn''t anything against this, and I looked at the small gap between cargo containers. I didn''t know if I could pull it off, but I climbed a bit of rock climbing when I was younger and could pull up my own weight at least. Quickly I jumped and realized that my leg muscles were stronger than I thought. My sensitive fingers found the seams in the cargo containers, and I quickly started to climb up the containers till I reached the second one and pulled myself up on top of them. I couldn''t help the grin as I began to crawl properly. Proper crawling was something that many people didn''t actually know how to do as it wasn''t intuitive. It was something that needed to be properly trained into someone, and an ex-boyfriend taught me. It wasn''t anything kinky, but he was a veteran of the military, and I was curious since I heard it was different from some friends. In order to get his Girlfriend¡¯s approval, he taught me for a week, and I thoroughly used it in some games. I dragged myself slowly and stealthily I dragged myself across with proper crawling technique along the top of the cargo containers and slowly took off my sniper rifle as I reached the edge. Soon I heard the soft sound of breathing and looked up and didn''t see anyone on the rafters too close to me. Some watched with fascination, and others were looking like they wanted to shout something. I moved, no longer looking up, and finally, I reached the edge. I looked down into Ricky¡¯s eyes, and his eyes widened, looking up at me. We both moved, and I pulled back as I heard him shout, ¡°OH FUCK!¡± He cried, and as I was pulling back, I looked up to see a person pointing up while looking down. I pulled my gun and decided to take him by surprise, and I shot forward again as I heard him step back. I pointed down, stepped forward, shot his center of mass, and fired again and again just before I heard his gun go off and shoot again and again, missing as his arms moved back as I shot him in the chest again and again. ¡°SLEEPY WONDER WINS!¡± Uppo yelled, his voice laced with intense anger. Ricky fell to the floor, grasping his chest as I had finished my clip into his chest, which was at least five rubber bullets. He was wincing, and I turned to grab my Sniper rifle. I turned and moved to the edge of the containers, letting my body fall while holding the top of the containers before jumping down the rest of the way. Pain laced my breasts as my boobs hit the lip of the second container, and I couldn''t help but curse,¡± Fuck!¡± Pain laced my breasts as I turned, and I saw people filtering in from up above after coming down the stairs. ¡°IMAN! GET THE FUCK OUT HERE!¡± Appo said as he came down. ¡°RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE WITH SLEEPY WONDER AND RICK!¡± He yelled. I looked to the hallway of Cargo containers, and a woman walked out with large breasts. She was very tanned skinned with four arms that were not muscled. As she walked into the center, she looked scared as Appo stared her down. ¡°What Appo?¡± She asked, looking a little frightened but keeping her back straight. ¡°You know what,¡± Appo said, ¡°You pointed up and showed Ricky that Sleepy Wonder was above him on the cargo containers. I told you what would happen,¡± Appo said, taking a gun from under his shirt and pointing it at her. The woman¡¯s eyes widened, and I flattened my ears to my head just as a loud gunshot went off with all the propellent of a real gunshot. Her scream sounded in the warehouse, and she fell to one knee as she held her leg, which blossomed with a very dark red color. Dark red, almost black, blossomed from her leg, and she cried. ¡°Cheaters are punished, and I know you and Ricky are a thing, Iman. I will punish you with both legs if it ever happens again.¡± Appo turned to me with a frown. ¡°I am so sorry Sleepy Wonder,¡± He said, ¡°I will give you my Vouch that you know what you are doing. Although this was a play match, you ran laps around Ricky. You have our gangs vouch, and in compensation for my gang member''s cheating, I will give the best thing there are for Rish¡¯an Locktor,¡± Appo smiled and turned to one of the four-limbed members near him. I watched as he whispered something to him, and Ura came and joined me with a smile. We watched the guy run off together, and Appo turned to us again. ¡°He is running to get something your cats like. Trust me on that. I have to ask how you kept cover between you and Ricky at the start there. He is quick on the reaction and start; If it was a straight duel where you have to stand in a spot, he would be undefeatable.¡± Uppo said with a grin. ¡°The man stomps around the floor like a madman,¡± I replied with a grin as everything was moving so fast. Appo laughed and nodded, ¡°Yes, he does!¡± Appo replied, turning to look at Ricky as he finally regained his breath, ¡°You need to work on that, Ricky! If you don''t, you will always be weak to those who can jump out of the way quick enough!¡± Appo said with a mischievous grin. That man that had run off was now running back with a bot behind him and ran up to Appo. He said something in his ear, and Appo nodded. Appo turned to me and shook his head, ¡°So, normally, I would give you just a gun, and most would be happy. But everyone knows Rish like to make their guns. So here you are,¡± He said and motioned the bot forward, and notifications hit. I opened the box, and my eyes widened as I started to read the notifications. I couldn''t help but smile reading it. Chapter 24: In a Taxi* ¡ª-- Quest Complete: Combat Vouch. Appo, the Gang leader, has given you his vouch and published it. 10% less likely to encounter combat with another gang that is on friendly terms with Appo¡¯s gang. 5% less likely to encounter combat with those who do not know or are hostile to Appo¡¯s gang ¡ª-- Opening the box, I looked at the notifications as they popped up, and the Quest made me smile. I was wondering if there were levels in this game. I looked at the next notifications, and my smile got brighter. ¡ª- Parts to a T9-847 Highly Customizable Assault rifle. The T9-847 version of an Assault rifle is a highly customizable assault rifle made by the Trinity Arms Corporation for gun enthusiasts who want something perfectly tailored. The parts are made to be swapped and upgraded with parts from all over and with reinforcement to changes on the inside and all over. ¡ª- ¡ª New Trait unlocked - Gambit. Risk it all on a single dice roll and see if the opponent expects it or not. ¡ª ¡°I figured a Rish like you would love what''s in that box,¡± Appo said suddenly, ¡°I want to apologize for cheating. We cannot have members doing things like that and sullying our reputation. You and Ura are new contacts, and we expect to be doing more business with you in the future, so please accept it as an apology and a reward.¡± Appo smiled and held out a hand. In response, I put the box under my arm and reached out with a smile. ¡°Sure Looking forward to working with you in the future,¡± I replied and put my hand in his, and we shook hands. ¡°Perfect!¡± Appo said before turning to Ura. ¡°Now, Ura, I have held you up here. Are we all good for the business that we have planned?¡± He asked. ¡°We are good. Have the goods transported to my ship, and I will have a space for it.¡± Ura said with a bright smile. ¡°PERFECT; I hear you also can make even more sensitive cargos to more upright places?¡± Appo asked, and I saw the gang members already leaving as this talk continued. ¡°Small cargoes. I am not going to be able to do the size of today''s shipment,¡± Ura replied as she looked around. All the others were no longer around Appo, and I began changing my magazines back to standard ammo instead of rubber bullets from the pack I handed to Ura before the one-on-one. ¡°Small shipments only for that,¡± Appo said slowly and clearly in thought. ¡°I have a shipment in a couple of weeks that a client wants through customs on Trevor¡¯s asteroid. Would you be able to make it through that?¡± Appo asked. ¡°Trevor''s asteroid?¡± Ura said in thought; the question was theoretical. ¡°That is a tough nut and would come at a very high premium and depends on the content, although I have a no-look inside-the-box fee if you want to go that route. Again a premium on things like that. Don''t want to end up on the Federation watch list, Appo.¡± Ura replied. ¡°The premium would be how much?¡± Appo asked curiously. ¡°Depends on the service,¡± Ura replied. I finished changing over the ammo in my packs and on my holsters. I was looking at the box I put down, looking forward to slowly building this assault rifle. It was going to be a great addition, and I was looking forward to having it on my back in this ¡®tutorial.¡¯ ¡°No looking inside premium to Trevor¡¯s Asteroid while dodging customs. The material inside is illegal and highly illegal but doesn''t leave residue or particles when carrying. Not hazardous in movement.¡± Appo said. Ura nodded and looked in thought, ¡°You are looking at a lot for that type of service, Appo. Around five hundred thousand Federation credits plus handling fees, and I will have to find a package to make it look legit. Trevor¡¯s Asteroid is a net importer and barely exports on independent lines. They have contracts that stop them from that,¡± Ura summarized. ¡°All together for that service? I am thinking eight hundred thousand for a place like Trevor¡¯s Asteroid. Finding a legit cargo to take me there will be a pain in the ass.¡± Ura complained at that last point. ¡°That is very expensive but seems fair,¡± Appo said frowning, ¡°I will talk with the client, and I will let you know. Could you keep your nose out for a legit client needing a package taken there?¡± The question made Ura smile, ¡°Sure, I will keep my nose out, sniffing for one. I will also make sure I am discreet, as I am sure you appreciate. Let me know, and have your crew get your shipment in the air soon. Sleepy Wonder and I have to be leaving soon. Time is money when you are a speed shipper, and time outside the Slipstream is wasted time.¡± Ura told Appo, making him nod.

I prefer Hyper travel, but,¡± Appo shrugged and turned before starting to walk towards the door, motioning us to follow, ¡°Not all can take Slipstream, and I am one of them.¡± I frowned thinking of that and remembered there were multiple forms of faster-than-light travel in this world that Ura explained to me briefly. She didn''t go into detail, but there must be some side effects to each. ¡°Works for us,¡± Ura said with a smile, ¡°Never had an issue with any form of Travel. I think it is all in your head, but your choice is your choice,¡± Ura finished. Appo smiled, looking at her, and shook his head as we reached the exit of the Warehouse. ¡°Ura, I am fine with that. You will see our delivery there in less than an hour when you get back. Please take care of our cargo, and I look forward to working with you again.¡± Appo said with a smile. ¡°It will be a pleasure working with you and hopefully profitable for us both,¡± Ura said with a large smile, and Appo turned around, entering back into the warehouse, leaving us there. Ura turned to me with a smile and pointed to the skimmer AI that brought us here. ¡°Come, we can leave now and enjoy our trip back.¡± I grabbed my stuff and smiled, walking back with Ura. The box hung under my arm, and I smiled. ¡°I look forward to building this,¡± I confessed, looking down at the box of weapon parts. It was almost two meters long and heavy with all the parts. ¡°That Iman girl really pissed off Appo. I could tell that his reaction was genuine and not for show. When she was pointing, he instantly noticed, as Ricky found out just before you peeked. Appo looked like he was about to lose his mind. We all knew that Ricky lost when you climbed up so silently.¡± Ura commented as we reached the skimmer, and she paused. ¡°Open the trunk,¡± Ura commanded the Skimmer, and the back opened up. I put the box down inside and followed to the opposite side, and the doors opened, and the trunk closed. ¡°We should wait till we are back on the ship to finish that,¡± I commented as I sat down in the skimmer. ¡°AI, back to the spaceport where you picked us up, please,¡± Ura ordered. ¡°Thank you for your Patronage.¡± The Skimmer replied, and we were instantly off down the road. I leaned back, looked at Ura with a smile, and beckoned her with a finger. ¡°Come here, Slut.¡± I told her with a naughty grin, surprising Ura. ¡°A reward for such a naughty bitch,¡± I said with a grin, and I could see the excitement build on her face as the skimmer moved. Ura leaned forward, and her hand gripped the zipper of her jumpsuit and brought it down, bringing her massive cleavage into view. My cock started hardening in my pants just before she started to crawl onto the seat over to me. A second later, I was leaning back with Ura laying on top of me, our breasts pressed against each other, and my lips locked with her as my arms reached around her, grabbing that juicy ass. Our tongues danced together, my cock got harder in my pants, and we knew we had some time. The skimmer''s windows tinted as the AI recognized what was happening inside itself as I groped her ass through the jumpsuit. Spit swapped, our tongues danced together, and Ura moaned, sending a shiver through me, and I felt a need grow. This busty alien woman was my bitch inside this game, and I would enjoy it. A moment later, I let go of her ass, and my hand reached between us and I started to unzip her jumpsuit all the way to the bottom, feeling moisture as I reached her pussy. Her pussy was already leaking with the thought of me taking her, and I deepened the kiss. As my other hand left her Jumpsuit, I reached up and took it off one arm, which she helped take off. Seconds later, the other side fell off and broke our kiss as she took the jumpsuit off showing me her massive breasts and amazing body. That tint of blue made it all so exotic and foreign, making me smile at her. I undid my belt harness, and seconds later, she tore down my pants with my cock sliding out into vision. Ura didn''t wait and crawled back on top of me, and she smiled. ¡°Returning back to the ship, no longer cock blocked by work,¡± Ura said with a smile. She looked down, her hand on my cock guided it to her pussy, and she pushed herself back onto my cock, penetrating herself. Ura¡¯s pussy gripped my cock like a vise and sucked on it from so many directions. Her alien pussy made me moan, and I thrust deeper into her matching her movements as her ass started to move up and down. My arms reached around her neck, and I pulled her close, kissing her lips as she brought her ass up and down my cock. We moaned into each other''s lips, and our tongues danced around each other, swapping more spit as I felt her tighten up on my cock with each thrust. A moment later, the kiss broke, and Ura moaned loudly in the skimmer and her head almost hitting the roof of the skimmer. Ura then placed her hands on my breasts and leaned her weight onto them, giving herself leverage, and started to move her wet pussy up and down my cock faster than ever. Moaning, I took in the pleasure as Ura rode my cock, sending pleasure throughout my body and making me moan louder and louder as she shook her ass. My cock throbbed inside her as her alien pussy sucked my cock from every direction sending more and more pleasure through me. Neither Ura nor I spoke as pleasure hit our bodies, and Ura began to grope my breasts as she took herself on me. I laid back, taking in the pleasure of allowing her to do what she wanted as I felt more and more pleasure hit my body wave after wave. We moaned together, and Ura cried, ¡°I¡¯m going to cum, I am going to Cum!¡± ¡°Take it slut!¡± I roared back, thrusting up into her dripping-wet pussy. Her cries got louder, and her pussy started spasming, ¡°I am cumming too!¡± I moaned as her pussy tightened up and spasmed all over my cock, making the sucking of her folds even better. It was like she was kissing and sucking my cock in a hundred different ways simultaneously, sending shivers of pleasure. I erupted into her pussy without the ability to think more. Ura and I moaned together again, and her body fell into me, and our lips met. We kissed softly as my cock stayed inside her, releasing the last of my ejaculation. Our kisses deepened, and we enjoyed each other with my arms wrapped around Ura. It was pure bliss, and I couldn''t believe I was having it in a video game. Suddenly the Skimmer came to a stop, ¡°We have reached our destination. You will be charged an additional cleaning fee for making a mess atop the ride.¡± The AI suddenly said, breaking us out of our trance, and we looked out the tinted windows. We both chuckled, and Ura got up, and I unsheathed myself from her pussy. My cock was still hard, but with some work, I stuffed myself back into my pants, and Ura did the same into her own jumpsuit. A couple of minutes later, if not a half hour, we got out of the Skimmer and picked up my things before heading back to the ship. I had one arm wrapped around Ura and the other on the new assault rifle parts. I would be putting it together soon, after making myself some dinner both inside the ship and after a while, Ura takes us to the Pirate space station in the real world. I nodded to myself, which prompted a look from Ura as we made our way back to the ship. Chapter 25: Family Problems* It took us a short time to move through the spaceport. We reached the spaceship and entered with our things just as an Air lorry set down, and Ura immediately moved to start bringing the cargo onboard. Meanwhile, I went to the workshop and put down my things before heading to the kitchen. I started to cook and hum while I heard Ura shouting orders across the ship. I cooked instead, let myself dance a little, and enjoyed myself in the small kitchen. It was only a short time till I heard Ura walking in and smelling the food as she came in. ¡°Oh, You cooked! I was expecting you to be all over that assault rifle!¡± Ura exclaimed. ¡°Plan on getting back to it after sleeping. I wanted to eat before I lay down, and I doubt Appo¡¯s men would mess with you knowing that I wasn''t too far away,¡± I told her with a smile and handed her a plate as we pulled out the table to eat. ¡°Nah, Appo isn''t an idiot, and there was a little showmanship going on with him punishing his member. But that was a real show, regardless. I think there may have been more to it than just us, though, and someone was questioning his authority.¡± Ura said just before taking her first bite. ¡°That is the problem with being a gang leader,¡± I remarked, ¡°Someone thinks they can do better than you in that position or just wants the power.¡± ¡°Or just don''t even know what they want,¡± Ura remarked in return in a much darker voice, reminding me of how we met not long ago. It was just yesterday in the real world, but the time in the game was warping my perception of time. Dinner became a little darker after that, and I couldn''t help but turn to her after we were halfway done. ¡°Well, Idiots are idiots, and we don''t base our actions on those with lesser intelligence; just make plans for them.¡± I told her, ¡°Do you want to order some clothes for us while I go to sleep? You know, something fun for us to wear? I will let you order some clothing for me to have some fun with you in.¡± I said, raising my eyebrows with a large grin. Ura looked at me with those dark thoughts out of her head in seconds as she looked at me. I could see her discerning eye towards me. ¡°Really?¡± She asked. ¡°Sure, I want something sexy and dominant. I also want you to buy some things for me to dominate you in and something sexy. We shouldn''t go too crazy; we don''t have a lot of space, and I would like to go out shopping in person with you on a planet soon.¡± I told her with a mischievous grin. ¡°But for now, I need to sleep soon,¡± I told her, and I could see Ura already thinking. ¡°That will delay us, but I can get us an urgent delivery,¡± She began muttering, and I could see her eyes lit up. There was no more conversation after that as Ura rushed off, pulled out a tablet, and looked through it. I really needed to look into that myself soon when we were on the planet and do some bounties. I didn''t do one again on this planet, and I really needed to start. I wanted to know if there would be a bounty office on the starbase we were going to. The silence was broken only by Ura mumbling and looking at me while she ate. I could see her concentration as she held up the tablet to me and shaking her head. She was deep into shopping, and I got up and stretched when I was done. I climbed up and called down, ¡°Enjoy shopping, Ura,¡± I told her and went into bed to sleep. I crawled in after putting aside my guns and stripped naked to sleep. When my eyes closed, it was only a moment before my eyes woke up in the real world with the pod lid lifting off of me. I groaned and stretched as I got out of the pod into the real world, taking another couple of minutes to stretch. I got moving through my apartment, and I looked at my phone seeing a dozen missed calls from my brother. I sighed and didn''t want to deal with that bullshit. I pulled up an app and decided to order for an hour from now and change into something to work it out. My muscles were tense, and I felt like they needed a stretch. Sending in a timed order, I moved to my extra bedroom, got dressed for a workout before going to my machine, and started working out after putting on some headphones. I started to listen to some gym music and ride hard. I lost track of time a bit and lost myself in the simple movements, which were hurting a little from my inactivity. I was getting into it and breathing heavily as I continued when my phone went off, and it announced my brother as the person calling. I sighed and knew that he wouldn''t stop calling until he got to me. ¡°Hello,¡± I said, picking up the phone, my tone sounding unamused someone was even calling. ¡°Are you going to help with mom¡¯s rent?¡± My brother said loudly through the phone as I continued to work out. ¡°Nope, You do it,¡± I told him, ¡°I don''t have the cash at this moment, and my savings will dry up quicker than planned if I help her.¡± ¡°You think I have the money?!¡± He shouted into the phone, and I hung up the phone. I continued to move, and the music started to play when my brother called me again. I declined the call to let him know I was serious and continued to move my body. Two minutes later, however, he called me again, and I picked up. ¡°Have you calmed down?¡± I asked. ¡°Fuck you,¡± My brother replied, and I wanted to sigh. ¡°I cannot afford to help them; you do it! Go back to pro gaming like you used to do or something!¡± I audibly took a deep breath and continued working out as I replied, ¡°You know what, Fuck you. I am getting back into pro gaming, but I cannot go back to old games that no longer have an audience. You have no idea of how my industry works, and I am starting a new game that has no market for large tournaments yet. I have no fucking gear to sell to whales, and I have only my savings. I have no money to spare, and if I fail in this game, I will lose my apartment and have no job. Mom can get her own damn money if she wants to live like that. She isn''t my problem when I have problems of my own. You obviously don''t understand how close to the edge I am and how much I have to deal with. No worse, you don''t give a fuck what I am dealing with as you only think about yourself.¡± I snapped at him and growled. Although there were partial lies in my explanation since there were organizations looking for teams right now for Galaxy Online, and I already got an offer, now was a stupid time to sign up if you had confidence in making your character. I needed to look it up, but I hadn''t heard of anyone being an independent contractor on a spaceship with a merchant like I was. Ura was wrapped around my fingers, looking for my cock on top of it, and I was in a good position. I wasn''t about to shit all over my current work and sign a contract that probably won''t reflect if that company can even survive at all. I was breathing heavily as I continued to move my body, and I heard a snarl over the phone. ¡°You bitch, That is your mother that you are talking about.¡± My brother snapped at me. ¡°You mean that leach at the moment?¡± I asked, ¡°Yeah, she gave birth to me, and I have given her thousands and thousands of dollars in return at this point. I had paid out so much more than you have, and you need to remember that she also took money from me in my early career when I wasn''t allowed to sign my own contracts. Still, I have helped her!¡± I shouted into the phone, ¡°No, no, no, Brother,¡± I made it sound like a curse as I said ¡®brother,¡¯ ¡°You can help her live that lifestyle. But I will not anymore!¡± I was seething as I continued to work out, and I was going too hard on myself, and I jumped off my equipment. I heard heavy breathing from my brother, and I could tell he was angry. He was our parent''s favorite for a variety of reasons, including being the only boy in the family so that he would continue on the family line. I think the fact that I was a Futanari and looked like a woman just annoyed them more. It didn''t change the fact that I could have continued the family name if I wanted to. But nope, Only boys could, and I was clearly a woman that had male genitalia. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. I shook my head from my thoughts, and I sighed. I looked down at my phone; my brother was still on the line. ¡°So, are you done talking about this?¡± I asked, still seething, ¡°You pay for her ridiculous spending, and you can tell her that I said that. I don''t give a fuck, brother. You tell her that and pay for her and dads bad spending habits. Until I get back on my feet, there will be no money from me. Maybe not even then. Now do you have something to say, or should I hang up?¡± I asked finally and waited for a moment. ¡°Are you serious?¡± My brother finally said, and I started to laugh. ¡°This is how this is going to go,¡± I replied a second later, ¡°I am going to hang up this phone. You are not going to call back tonight or this month. I barely have my own rent paid, let alone someone else''s. I will not pick up any calls from you, dad, or our mother. If they have money problems, they can sell shit. I will go to bed and sleep very peacefully after having myself a nice meal. I will sleep soundly knowing that if someone has to pick up their bill, it will be you for once and not me. Do you understand what is happening? Good,¡± I hung up and looked up my order''s progress. I cursed as I realized I still had time before things should even start, and I sighed, walking into the shower instead of the computer. I would have to be clean for my sleep, and I would have to complete the voting process. I should also do some research into guns and how I want to set them up. I knew that I at least wanted to have an option between single, burst, and automatic fire with my assault rifle. All three had uses, and I wanted to be able to switch according to the situation. I would have to look up what those parts were, and I continued to think about what I wanted for my assault rifle as I stripped and entered the shower. Yawning and cleaning myself up in the shower, it didn''t take me long to finish up in the shower. I quickly finished up and exited, heading to my computer after drying off and sitting in my computer chair. I double-checked the setup being off, and I started to look at the vote and frowned at the outfit that got voted in today for my sleeping outfit. The outfit in question was a little pink baby doll outfit that was almost see-through in all the places that they wanted. They would even see the bulge of my cock, but all of it would be just out of sight. It made me look cute, and I preferred to dominate when I slept. Not only that, there was the issue of how loose it was, and I preferred things very tight. I sighed and looked at the money brought in today, and it wasn''t nearly as much as yesterday. I sighed and closed the vote, posting on the site that the poll was closed and the results were final. Then I started to look into what parts I needed for my assault rifle and what I wanted to shoot like. Losing myself in the interesting subject, I was torn out of it much faster than I thought. I looked to the door and yawned, thinking it was time for food. I walked over slowly and opened the door to see a cute man in his late twenties staring at me wide-eyed as I opened the door. ¡°Hello, That food for me?¡± I asked, and the man nodded up and down dumbly, and I wondered what his problem was and reached out with my hand. ¡°Food?¡± I asked, and the man blushed and looked down, and then it hit me. Fuck I didn''t get dressed. The guy''s eyes widened as he looked down, and his blush got darker as he looked at my cock, and I felt a shiver through me. ¡°Got time to get fucked?¡± I asked the young man in the doorway, ¡°Nothing but me shoving my fat cock up your ass till you cry out and cum?¡± I followed up with another question and reached out, taking the food. ¡°Come in if you do,¡± I finished stepping back, feeling horny suddenly. I hadn''t been with someone in real life in a long time, and I knew it was stupid to do this. I had condoms in my house for one-night stands, and doing a delivery driver was stupid. But he was cute and looked soft. I could see the compilation in his expression as I walked and put the food on the table, leaving the door open. I shook my ass a little and looked over my shoulder, ¡°Coming in or not?¡± I finally asked after a minute while pulling out the food, and he stepped into my house. I grinned and pointed at the door, ¡°Close the door, Bitch,¡± I snapped, and he quickly turned around and slammed the door. ¡°Wait here,¡± I told him and walked into the bedroom, grabbing two key things, and back out into my living room with a grin. Showing him as I opened a condom and pulled out the lube, I asked, ¡°You going to strip or not?¡± The delivery driver stripped, and I could see the indecision on his face. He was asking himself what he was doing here at this moment with a shemale or whatever he thought I was getting ready to have sex with him. Thrill started to go through me as I hadn''t been inside a man in a long time, and the guy looked new to this. ¡°You won''t tell on me for this?¡± The driver asked as he took off his clothing showing a soft body with some muscle definition on his arms. His cock was already hard, standing at six or seven inches, and I licked my lips. I stepped towards him, and he took off his shoes. I smiled as I closed the distance. ¡°Absolutely not, This will be our little secret,¡± I said, noticing a ring on his left hand. ¡°Not even your wife will learn about this,¡± I continued, and he froze, and I started to stroke my cock as I used my teeth to open the condom wrapper. I finished closing the distance and slipped the condom on. ¡°I- I can''t believe I''m doing this,¡± He said and turned around, and I grinned, reaching around and starting to stroke his cock. ¡°Have you ever taken something up the back door?¡± I asked, putting my head on his shoulder as I stroked his cock, placing my cock against his ass cheek and pressing my breasts against his back. I heard him moan, and he nodded, and I couldn''t help the smile, ¡°Who took your anal virginity?¡± I asked. ¡°My, MMmmmm, Wife,¡± He moaned out, and my eyebrows rose, and I realized I had found someone who liked getting pegged. ¡°Well, Leave your number after this, and maybe your wife and you can come over and be my sluts for a night,¡± I replied. I stopped stroking his cock, leaned back, lubed my cock up to the max and poured some on my hand and reached down, and pushed a finger into his booty. A moan erupted from him, and I pulled the finger out a moment later and lined my cock up with his ass. Pushing in euphoria hit my head like a rock as I felt his tight ass on my cock. I pushed in, feeling him stretch around my cock, and he moaned loudly. ¡°OH, YOUR HUGE!¡± He cried out a moment later, and I sheathed my cock deep into his ass. I felt a swollen prostate as I pushed in and realized this guy may not have had the real thing, but his wife developed his ass to feel the pleasure. His moan was loud as I slowly pulled out, and I stopped when the head of my cock hit that swollen prostate. I leaned forward, gripping his cock as he used the island in my kitchen to keep himself up. His cock throbbed in my hand, and I pulled my hips back a little, bumping into that swollen prostate. ¡°Get ready,¡± I told him quietly by his ear as I slowly stroked his cock. ¡°I am about to get rough, Cum when you want, but remember, bitch,¡± I said sweetly, ¡°I will take you till I cum.¡± With that, I started to thrust in small short thrusts that hit his prostate at hyperspeed, which made him cry out. I didn''t care anymore as I hit that bump over and over again. His swollen prostate was mercilessly attacked as I took pleasure from his cries; I sheathed my cock into him all ten inches before pulling out and attacking that prostate once again. His cries and moans fuelled my need, and I took him harder as I stroked his cock while I attacked that prostate till he came all over my island, and I stopped stroking his cock. He cried out, and I ignored it as I pulled back and grabbed him by the hips and started to fuck him in long strokes from tip to complete insertion. His cries as his ass tightened up and twitched on my cock filled me with sadistic pride, and before I knew it, I released inside his ass deep and hard with a moan of my own. It took a minute for me to come back to myself, and I pulled out and grabbed the condom feeling much better and no longer pent up. ¡°Clean yourself up and leave your number. I will text you, and if you and your wife want to be dominated for a night, you can text me.¡± I said, and the guy was breathing heavily on my kitchen island. I tossed the condom in the garbage and walked around, and ate. It took a bit, but the delivery driver left his number on a receipt for me, then dressed and left my house the way he came. I watched him go in silence, and I could state how much better I felt. Without realizing it, I felt super pent up, and I had to remember that Ura was not real and that having sex with her wouldn''t be a release in the real world. I frowned at that thought and realized that I would have preferred Ura over that random delivery driver. I quickly entered his number and texted that Delivery driver as I thought about Ura and her pussy. That pussy of hers was amazing, and I wanted to try it out in real life. Sighing and finishing my food, I cleaned up my mess and went into my second bedroom, and got ready for bed in a cute pink baby doll lingerie and looked super cute in it. I didn''t like it personally, but it paid the bills, and I moved to the computer, started the stream, and smiled at it. The chat was going crazy, but I ignored it as usual, feeling sleepy after busting a nut into the delivery driver. I saw some complaints about my lack of commentary, and I apologized on stream for it, as I was feeling tired and I had to wake up early. I was looking at the viewer count; I have over a thousand viewers. That is not bad; hopefully, they would start paying to vote more. Before I knew it, I passed out while chat was going crazy over something. Chapter 26: Agent Sleep took some time to leave me as I woke up. I felt my hips lift as my hands roamed my body up lifting my breasts up before they reached above me as I stretched. I loudly moaned as I came back to the waking world. The lace under my fingers was a little harsh on my fingers as my eyes fluttered open, and I felt my cock pressing against my babydoll lingerie, and I looked down. I sighed in relief and turned to look at my computer, seeing the chat go crazy. The Subscriptions were moving up, and I shook my head, looking around drearily. I couldn''t help but wonder where my alarm was when I suddenly started to beep. The sounds of the beeps got me waking up even faster, and I rubbed my eyes. I looked down and noticed a stain, and I blushed a little as I realized I must have had a wet dream last night after having my way with that delivery driver. Getting up, I walked over to my computer and noticed that the stream had gone crazy a couple of hours in, and I got a lot of followers last night. The donations and subscriptions were not bad either, and I turned to the camera. ¡°Hey, Boys,¡± I said, my voice dreary. ¡°I am going to play some Galaxy Online soon. Still in the Tutorial, so I will be working on that. Don''t forget to vote on what I will be sleeping in tonight!¡± I finished with a little announcement, and much to the complaints on the stream, I turned it all off. Quickly I moved to put up the voting for tonight and yawned as I finished it up. With the vote going live, I got up and moved over to my kitchen, rocking a hard-on in this outfit. I sighed, turned on the kettle for tea, and pulled out some food. I was going to have to do some grocery shopping soon. Luckily the last couple of days have been good days for my sleep streams, and the boys have been going crazy. Last night I must have gotten a hard-on and leaked some precum sending them crazy. I decided to probe with my fingers and quickly realized that my pussy had moistened at some point in the night as well. Rolling my eyes, I realized I must have been moaning a lot in my sleep and been sexually turned on by whatever I dreamed. Knowing what my ex-boyfriends and girlfriends in the past used to say when I got like that when I slept, it must have been borderline pornographic. I sighed and stretched, turning on the stove before stripping out of this damn baby doll lingerie. It was uncomfortable, and I preferred tighter clothing. I turned on my stove and headed to my closet as I heard my phone going off. I turned and sighed, turning back and picking up my phone. I looked down at it, and I frowned, picking it up. ¡°Sleepy Wonder speaking,¡± I announced. ¡°HONEY! Long time no talk!¡± I heard an exclamation on the other end, and I snarled as I realized it was my old agent. ¡°You know I hate my name, Allie,¡± I snarled, ¡°Call me Sleepy.¡± ¡°Fine, Sleepy,¡± My agent Allie replied, ¡°I am wondering something, Sleepy; Are you playing Galaxy Online?¡± My agent asked, and I sighed. ¡°Yes, I am,¡± I replied, ¡°Let me guess, people are willing to talk to me again because they would like a hot female player on their roster?¡± I asked. ¡°You would not be incorrect, Sleepy. You are a hot, attractive, and skilled woman. Even having you in their guild will help out, so everyone feels that you will be a great fit for them. Hell, As a very attractive woman, and those sleep streams have greatly helped your case. But that makes you a hot commodity right now, and plenty of people are looking at you when they are thinking of Galaxy Online pros.¡± Allie said, and I sighed. ¡°I think my worth will only increase if I wait, Allie. So I will not be signing a contract right now.¡± I replied, and my agent faltered. ¡°Sleepy a year ago, you would be all over me for a pro contract,¡± Allie reminded me. ¡°That was a year ago when I didn''t think I had something in the oven cooking. Now,¡± I smirked, put my phone on speaker, moved to my closet, and stripped. ¡°Allie, I have been doing great in the tutorial, and I have plans to make a nice little video of the character build that I am making. It will be amazing and have all those boys running to me for a contract. I am not worried right now about money, either. It seems the perverts on the stream have been paying out more often lately, and I am good for food and rent for the month at least, and it is still early in the month. So I got no reason to pick up a contract for less than I think I will be worth.¡± I finished stripping, looked through my clothing, and picked out a shirt and some yoga pants before heading to my kitchen. ¡°Honey,¡± Allie replied after a moment. ¡°Allie,¡± I snapped, warning her, ¡°I can always go solo and not use you as an intermediary,¡± I told her sternly. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Sleepy, I have a contract here for five digits. Enough to pay for rent and food for five years.¡± Allie replied, ¡°Sixty thousand a year for five years, and that is what you take home after taxes. A literal full-time job. It is with TJ Guild or, I guess, Corporation in Galaxy Online. They are looking for strong pro players, and you get to keep sixty percent of all your winnings in your portion shared among teammates.¡± ¡°What a low offer,¡± I scoffed, ¡°Look, Allie, no. That is a definite no. I know it sounds good compared to the fact I was earning nothing a year ago. But that is definitely a fuck no. That is the best that they offered. Nothing on merch related to me and several other things? If that is your best, then I am not interested in the least of this conversation.¡± I told her straight. I walked to the kitchen and started to prep food to eat. I started to put things together as I heard shuffling papers on the other side of the phone. ¡°Sleepy, I have nothing better at this moment. TJ guild thinks they have other women they can go to. They just wanted a woman that looked more,¡± her voice trailed off, and I chuckled. ¡°More dominant and willing to put guys down. I am a Dominant and a bit of a sub sometimes, but I mostly like dominating. So I have that appeal to audiences that a submissive girl doesn''t have.¡± I continued as I finished the prep and started to cook. ¡°Look, Allie,¡± I said slowly, as you could definitely hear my cooking on her side. ¡°I am playing my cards slowly. I think I have what it takes to demand a six-digit salary plus merch deals. I will stick out for that for now. They ignored me before, and maybe they were right about that. But now I am not under contract, and Galaxy Online looks to be built for more than just a pro scene making the pro scene that much larger. I cannot wait to see what happens, and if I fumble and fail, then I will regret my decisions then. At this moment, though,¡± I took a deep breath, ¡°I am happy with my decision. Don''t call me unless it¡¯s at least a six-digit salary to start.¡± I hit the hang-up button and turned back to my food, and smiled. I turned to my kettle and prepared some tea with some milk and sugar just as my food started to finish up. I started to drink my tea in peace and felt the silence. I started to eat a moment later, relaxed for a bit before heading to my bedroom, double-checked everything was good and started to look into gun parts again. I finished the research and looked toward my pod, and I sighed. That four-times world speed really made it hard to do anything other than the necessities. I got up and shut down my computer, and opened up the pod. I did a last check on all my equipment before getting into the pod and lying down. The pod lid closed a moment later, and I closed my eyes. A moment later, I woke up and stretched, feeling stiff. My eyes fluttered open, and I looked around. Seeing the ceiling not far away, I realized I was in the crew quarters where I went to sleep. I got up and decided that I would start to work out this body in the game. I grabbed my sniper and put it on my back before I started to do proper push-ups. I took my time doing it till my arms hurt, then started to do crunches. I didn''t have much space to work with, but I worked up a sweat and continued to work out in all sorts of positions. Quickly I found myself doing some yoga that I learned years ago with a girlfriend that wanted to become a professional yoga instructor. I had to say that it was quite a distraction to have her help me, and it usually ended up with us having intercourse. Still, it helped now, and I found myself sweating hard when I heard a noise. I snapped my head to the noise and saw Ura looking at me with an appreciative gaze as I was pointing my ass up toward her, giving her a full view of my ass. ¡°That is an amazing view to see. You finally woke up!¡± Ura said, looking all over me. ¡°Hmm, Where are we?¡± I asked back. ¡°We are nearing the pirate space station. We are about a day away; I was starting to expect that you wouldn''t wake up before then,¡± Ura complained with a pout, and I finally got up and turned to her. ¡°Well, at least I will be rested when we get there, right?¡± I asked her with a mischievous grin. ¡°Did you get that clothing before we left the planet?¡± Ura turned a little purple and nodded, ¡°Yes. Do you want to see it?¡± She asked. ¡°Not yet,¡± I said, ¡°Surprise me after dinner. I want to play with you then,¡± I told her, moving toward her, ducking due to the bulkhead. I moved toward her, and my stomach grumbled. ¡°Hungry?¡± I asked. ¡°Nope, just ate an hour ago. Besides, I just came over to check on you since I was getting worried,¡± Ura admitted, ¡°I have a client to call in a moment for our next delivery. For some reason, the emergency shipping is busy right now. Plus, I know we will have a delivery of something black to smuggle. I am curious to see if I can pick up something for a more high-tech planet. I would love to go out on a date with you.¡± Ura finished. Ura blushed deeper, and I turned to her, looked her up and down, and nodded. ¡°If we do go to a more settled planet, I would love to go out with you. I also need to do some bounty hunting. I need to work on my rank, at least.¡± I finished, and Ura was blushing deeper. I closed the distance between us as she was by the ladder, but she slid down and walked away without another word. I chuckled, climbed down, and started to work on something for my character to eat. It didn''t take long, and I cleaned up after myself before going back up, grabbing my old clothes, and checking my wounds. It seemed that my old wounds were almost healed completely. I redid the bandages and headed to my workshop. It was time to start building my assault rifle, and I was looking forward to it. I headed to the shower to clean off the sweat before I dried off, put on my leather clothes, and headed to the workshop. I had a day to put that assault rifle together, and I was looking forward to what I could do. Chapter 27: Some assembly required I got to work putting together my assault rifle. I started with the brace, and with all the prebuilt parts, everything was initially easy to put in place. There were multiple firing parts, and I could see the customization options already. I felt like it was a branching tree of different paths I could take. To start with, I wanted an adaptable ammo type that was easy to change the propellent once I learned more about propellents later. I got a better compensator, and various parts, each needing no tweaking as all of these parts were made for this assault rifle. It was a ridiculously easy process, but it still took time as I wanted to learn about all the customization options there were. Taking my time and making sure everything was perfect, I dove into the world of gun manufacturing on assault rifles and found myself intrigued with this rifle. There was so much to learn, and I took apart the gun as I built it and rebuilt it again slowly and meticulously. There was nothing I needed to weld or saunter at this time in order to make it work, and the tools I had were insanely useful. Hours and hours went by as I went over everything and tweaked the settings of the gun more and more. I loved it and eventually took it all apart again to restart as I felt something wasn¡¯t perfect. I dove into the task, and oil coated my hands as I worked. My sensitive fingers would easily find flaws in things, so I would take it apart and rebuild the gun again and again. Upon some thought, I realized the reason why Rish¡¯an Locktar was considered a more powerful race. I could feel if there were any problems as my fingers brushed over the parts of the weapon. It was almost like the game was telling me that there was an issue with the gun as I put it together, too, and I had to spend more and more time on that. Still, I decided at least once to put it all together with the best attempt I could. I felt something minor was an issue, and I had no extra attachments at this time and limited ammo, so I couldn''t live fire the gun; not that I would inside the ship, but complete. I smiled, brought it up to my shoulder, and looked down the sights with a grin as the brown assault rifle was temporarily complete. I shoved an empty clip in and pulled the trigger. Hearing it snap in place, I started to check other things on the gun. I took my time and ensured everything was working to the best of my ability without actually shooting it, and I nodded, put it down on the table, and sighed in satisfaction. It took almost the entire day in the game, but I felt great. I learned a lot, but I learned an important lesson in the fact that I had way more to learn. It was complicated, and there were extra parts in the box for further customization, and I noticed notifications in the corner of my sight. Quickly I brought them up, and my eyebrow raised. ¡ª- New trait unlocked: Beginner Gun Enthusiast. Guns, inside and outside, you are going to learn it all. ¡ª-- ¡ª-- New Trait unlocked: Meticulous. Redo the same thing repeatedly, slightly differently, working toward perfection. ¡ª-- ¡ª-- T9-847 Highly Customizable Assault rifle (Uncommon) Well Manufactured and with few faults. Made with three firing modes and a thirty-bullet magazine, an amateur put it together with growing skills and with few flaws. Increased damage by five percent and five percent less recoil. ¡ª-- With raised eyebrows and a large smile, I fought down the need to cheer as I looked at the stats on my new rifle. It was fantastic, and now all I needed was five-point sixty-two ammo. I couldn''t help but wish I had somewhere I could shoot this rifle in space. I wouldn''t shoot at the walls, and I looked around my workshop and knew I had nothing I could do here. I would have to find a gun range on planets and spaceships to fire my weapons to practice. I didn''t even have the means to create better ammo in this ship nor the places to make explosives. These were all things that would have to be rectified in the future. I put the rifle off to the side of the workbench and got up, and stretched. My stomach rumbled, and I realized I had been working for hours and was hungry. I decided that while I ate, I would look into some bounties for our next destination. I could cook and eat while I looked into these things, and I got up and left my workshop covered in grease. I popped my head into the bridge to see Ura working. ¡°Ura, I finished my assault rifle and just need to take it to a gun range to test it out after buying some ammo for it. So I am going to make some breakfast and look at bounty contracts while on the pirate station.¡± I told her, and Ura looked up and stared at me in disbelief. ¡°You haven''t done bounties on the previous planets. But now, in a Pirate station, you want to start?¡± Ura said, and I froze. ¡°Fair enough,¡± I said, ¡°Still, I want to check things out and see if the pirates also put up a bounty. I doubt that they don''t have at least a couple of bounties.¡± I told her, and Ura chuckled. ¡°That actually may be true. I am just wondering if they put it on the main Bounty hunter organization. I am interested to see if they have,¡± Ura said, getting up. ¡°We have about another five hours before we hit the system and another hour after that before we will be able to dock. This station isn''t exactly happy with those that slipstream or hyperdrive close. Anything that comes within a certain range will be treated with hostility and be fired upon immediately without restraint. They have made this public to all those traveling there and have shot anyone stupid enough not to listen. No exceptions.¡± ¡°Then let us get some food and see if there is anything interesting!¡± I said with a large smile. ¡°Go ahead and start cooking,¡± Ura said, ¡°I have to finish some calculations. I have to pay some taxes to the federation and talk to a money launderer. I have a good friend that will help us pay all the taxes on our dark earnings. Also, Pirates that want you to do things tend to want to pay in Physical items instead of Credits. Unlaundered credits are costly, and they will have two sides to their business. On the Darker side, you may deal in credits, but you will have to launder them, so the Federation takes a cut. But if it is an Item, you can just use it. So usually, they run with something of equal value to what they owe you.¡± Ura told me, ¡°I run only credits because I have a guy that owes me his life back on my homeworld and launders my money so I can pay taxes on it. You don''t have that luxury.¡± She told me, and I nodded. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°Only three things you can never escape, Death, Taxes, and learning new things,¡± I told her with a smile, ¡°I guess I got hit by two of them this time,¡± I told her with a wry smile, and Ura chuckled. ¡°I will start cooking, and come join me when you''re done.¡± I went to the back and started to pull out some food after washing my hands and arms. I still had some grease on me, but it wasn''t anywhere it would affect my cooking, and I got to it. I cooked while thinking about the information Ura just gave me. It made sense that there were some things in this universe that I didn''t understand, and now I started to realize what Gabin Corporation was doing with such a long Tutorial. It made sense in a way that I couldn''t believe no one else didn''t realize starting this game. This universe was its own universe with an unreal level of AI. They felt real, as did Ura¡¯s touch and feel. That wasn''t all, though. Even more important was that this was a working society with Spaceships and logistics. Manufacturing companies and people are just trying to live their everyday life in it. Some were in the military, and some were pirates attacking Cargo haulers for that significant score. Some may run into bad luck and be on the wrong side of the law, while others hide behind corporate suits breaking the law in the darkness while smiling out in the open. Little common sense things we were allowed to break in other video games and RPGs may not be something we can do in this universe. Ura telling me that I was trying to bounty hunt on a Space Station full of Pirates looking at me like a moron was a wake-up call. There was a working logic in this world, and I had to use my real-world common sense and not video game logic. Jumping in a fire in an old RPG to see if it would actually cause damage, you might do something serious like burn yourself for a long time. Breaking a contract might have authorities come to hunt me down. That Datapad had the intellectual property of a weapons manufacturer with research notes. It was corporate espionage if I got caught with it. These were things that I never considered when starting. Maybe I could be a slave trainer or slaver, picking up slaves in this game and selling them for profit. But that came with consequences with the Federation that I was in the space of at this moment. These things would be common sense if you are thinking of this game as real life but not if you think of this like a Video game with all the logic and logic-defying things that can happen. There was Magic in this world as well, which meant that there were consequences of that, just like I had a gun that could shoot a wizard or mage in the head before they could cast. I had to think of these things before they were in my face. I cooked while my mind went over what Ura said, what felt like just five minutes ago. But Dinner was ready while my mind was still thinking about it. I realized that I was taking this game too lightly, and looking at Ura as she came into the back, she seemed to be looking at me oddly. Then I realized that this was a world of genuine Role play again. I needed to start becoming Sleepy Wonder instead of acting like myself. I smiled as I looked at Ura and asked, ¡°You remember where I put the bounty hunter tablet?¡± Ura rolled her eyes. She got up, walked out, and returned a minute later with a tablet in her hand. She passed it over and looked at me sternly, ¡°I don''t want to clean up after you, Sleepy.¡± Ura said sadly, and I shook my head. ¡°I don''t want you to clean up after me. I tend to clean in increments. I will go a little bit without cleaning, then do it all at once. Sorry if that is hard on you; it is just what I am used to doing.¡± I told her truthfully. That was what I did in real life, and it always worked for me. I would let a mess pile up, then put some headphones on and clean all at once. Ura sighed, ¡°Okay, Just once a day, at least clean up the obvious and keep track of your things?¡± Ura asked, sounding resigned. ¡°I will try,¡± I told her, ¡°And if you nag me, I will probably remember, but please don''t nag me all the time, Okay?¡± I asked her in return. Ura looked at me, a little surprised, then smiled a little with a little purple blush, ¡°Okay,¡± She replied before poking at her food for a second and taking a large bite. In return, I put down the tablet and opened it up. It immediately opened up to a menu asking for my login and asked for my credentials. After fighting with it for a bit while I ate and Ura chuckled, I finally logged in with my name. I opened up the bounties in the menu and started a search with the Space Station we were about to go to. With that, I was allowed to look at a super long list with over six thousand entries. There was an interesting filter and warning put up on top. ¡°Without sufficient strength and firepower, Do not Bounty hunt anyone with a Large P next to their name. Those with a Large P next to their names are protected by those on the station and the personnel on it. Please press the check box at the far right of this message to filter them out of their searches.¡± The bright and flashing message forced you to read it, and I couldn''t help but ask Ura about it. ¡°Federation Law prohibits filters on your searches that an organization allows you to see for any reason whatsoever. That means that bounty hunter office as well. So unless you willingly check that box, you can see All bounties believed to be on the space station. They legally have to, and so much to their credit, they make a large warning for everyone. Then if some stupid bounty hunter decides to go get a couple of easy scores,¡± Ura shrugged, ¡°I think the term is called Cleansing the Gene pool.¡± I started to laugh and hit the filter, and that list of six thousand turned to twenty. My eyes widened, and I opened up the bounties and quickly realized that none of the bounties gave federation credits. All of them gave either vouchers or weapons of a certain value. Since none of these guys were protected in the station, they were probably sucking up to someone to get protection or had protection withdrawn. There were other explanations, like a pirate put up the bounty too. I leaned back in the chair and came up with an interesting bounty. ¡ª- Wanted dead or alive: Oxrock Trinador. Wanted for magical malpractice in the Drow outpost at the borders of Federation space. Convicted and fled custody after being found guilty. He is found to be a Mage with some power behind him, and it is unknown how strong he is. The latest Intel from a person on the station was that he pissed off the wrong person on the station, revoking his protection, and a refreshed Bounty was placed on his head by said person. The reward for Dead or Captured: Voucher for an establishment called Chains and Shackles. No bonus for being captured alive. ¡ª- ¡°What is Chains and Shackles?¡± I asked. ¡°On the Space station, we are going to? It is a Slaver Merchant. Although it sells itself out as an¡± Ura looked up from her food and scoffed, ¡°Headhunting agency,¡± She chuckled, ¡°they sell slaves, but I have to admit that I heard good things about them compared to other places. Why?¡± Ura asked. ¡°I found a Bounty I am interested in,¡± I told her, pushing the tablet towards her, and she looked down at it. ¡°I think the reward is interesting, and we might be able to pick up two slaves instead of just one,¡± I told her with a smile. ¡°Mages are smart. He is a researcher too. Double difficult. Are you sure?¡± Ura asked, ¡°We can stay an extra day or two if you want while I line up a package, but Mages are notorious for being slippery.¡± ¡°A challenge,¡± I said with a smile and pulled back the tablet, ¡°I think this is a good challenge, and I prepare myself before I do it. I am interested and willing to take the chance.¡± ¡°They suspect he is dangerous, Sleepy Wonder,¡± Ura prompted. ¡°I know, but I want to try. I will back down if I don''t think I can do it.¡± I told her honestly, ¡°I want to hunt this guy at least down.¡± I told her more seriously, ¡°Need to know I can.¡± Ura looked at me and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡± With that, it was decided, and I felt myself getting pumped up as I opened up the file for more details. Chapter 28: Traits I spent the next hour going over intelligence that the Bounty Hunter office gave for free on this quest. Well, I didn''t know if the information was free or if it came with the bounty set by the pirate that did it. It seemed that he had thrown a huge fit when purchasing a slave and it landed him in serious trouble with the people that owned the Space station. It seemed that this guy must have some arrogance to him to forget that he lived because the rulers of the Space station protected him. I couldn''t help but wonder why the Federation let Pirates exist like this. It was an interesting thought experiment but one that I didn''t dive too deep into. I looked at the information more I couldn''t help but think that this guy would be easy to track down. It was only recently he reappeared on the Bounty hunter organization sights again, and it was because of another Pirate. Maybe he knew he was being hunted or still thought he had protection from an organization. Looking over the information, he was still on the two-bit space station with the Pirates even as his bounty opened up. He was a drow with blue, almost purple skin but long ears that Ura didn''t have. There wasn¡¯t much more on him, and I would have to learn more about the bounty on the station. Finally, I looked up, and Ura was gone, and I got up, walked over to the sink, and started to clean. Ura bought some spicy clothing for me and her to wear, but I didn''t see it around when I woke up. I wondered where she put it but decided against searching for it. We were coming up to the Two-bit station, and she needed to concentrate. I decided to walk over to the bridge while contemplating what I needed to do while on the space station. First, I needed to target practice. That was a necessity. I was dangerously under-practiced with my shooting right now. My handgun skills were still up to snuff, and shooting a shotgun was general direction shooting for knife range. My sniper was a precision weapon that I was dangerously under-practiced on. I wasn''t even sure if the sights were correctly set if I hadn''t shot some Hextars back on that desert planet during my first bounty mission. No, I would take some time to find myself at the shooting range and spend some federation credits on munitions to burn through and practice. My assault rifle would be useless if I didn''t get used to the recoil and ensure everything was properly done. Suddenly I felt us exit slipstream, and I coughed a little in surprise before moving to the bridge while Ura was furiously typing away at the panel. She pushed at an earpiece and talked to the traffic control, probably of the Two-bit space station, as I watched. ¡°Confirmation complete, I will be docking in bay Two-oh-oh fiver; I will be on station till I find another delivery or a maximum of a week if no delivery is found. Copy,¡± Ura said seriously, and she nodded. ¡°Copied; thank you, Dockmaster.¡± Ura finished and turned to me even as her fingers moved across the panel. ¡°We have a week to do things. In that time, I should be able to get a new package with no issues. Probably something extremely illegal that they have to pay me a lot for with something legal. My money launderer will be happy with me.¡± Ura grinned. ¡°I am happy too. I will be doing some firing practice while on the station. I would like to spend some time in the shooting range for a day or two, blowing holes in targets before I even start bounty-hunting this guy. I need to ensure everything is working and maybe do some tweaks.¡± I told Ura, who was now smiling as I told her that. ¡°That sounds like fun. I will probably book some time to practice some handguns. Never a bad thing to learn a little while we are at Two-Bit station. Still, I will have to focus more on finding a good contract with someone. I haven''t been burned yet since working with you but working with Pirates always increases that chance,¡± Ura told me as her fingers typed. She turned and started to look down at her console for a couple of moments and frowned. ¡°Damn, we are a bit further from the main areas than I originally thought. Means we will have to use the trams to move to the central area, and the unloading of goods might be delayed,¡± Ura told me and turned to me. ¡°We will be docking in less than an hour. Better get ready, and you will feel it when we land.¡± ¡°Thanks!¡± I told her happily and moved into the workshop, and started to prepare. I could have logged off to stretch a little, and it would be fifteen minutes instead of an hour. Instead, I took this time to work out. I started to do push-ups and crunches to ensure my body was fit and ready without taking out my character''s body. While I worked out, I thought about what role I wanted to play as Sleepy Wonder. This is a Role Playing world. There was only one server, and Role Playing seemed to be integral in the universe of Galaxy Online. There was so much to do and see in this universe I couldn''t help but wonder about the role I wanted to play in it. I thought about the circumstances that Sleepy Wonder was in when I first came to this tutorial, and I quickly realized that Sleepy Wonder was a poor Rishan Locktor. She was stranded on a desert planet with nothing but a cot and tools. She had signed a Bounty hunter contract with the small bounty hunter agency to help round up criminals for the Manufacturing companies on this small planet in order to be able to survive. Every credit must have gone to buying tools and parts for weapons, as there was nothing but the holsters and leather clothing I took with me. There were also some manuals that were left behind for the weapons. Sleepy Wonder was a Gun Manufacturer that was a Bounty Hunter. She was an Artisan that wanted only the best, but she was an amateur at this point. She only wanted to create the best and would take the time in order to achieve that. Like most Rishan Locktor she was obsessed with guns, but she had no access to the tools of the job till she picked up a contract at that bounty office. If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Thinking about this made me realize that there was more to it, and I remembered the Biography of this race and realized the major reason why she was on that planet, to begin with. She was a refugee and probably was a stowaway on some ship that she hid on and got off at a planet whenever she ran out of food. Then in order to scrape by, she picked up that contract with the bounty office that told her that they would feed her. She took care of herself, kept herself strong, and worked out to continue keeping food on the table. She probably would be obsessive about keeping her body in shape, and then I remembered the traits of this game. Traits were something to count in my head, and I thought about all the traits I received and wondered if there was a list of them. I started searching and quickly found them in my Character menu. ¡ª- Name: Sleepy Wonder Class: Gun Specialist Race: Rish¡¯an Locktor Specialization: Artisan Profession: Gun manufacturer (Automatically chosen with Class) Gender: Futanari ¡ª-- Traits: Exhibitionist: Does not mind appearing before others naked. Locked and loaded: Being Armed to the Teeth is normal. Workout enthusiast: Gain Strength through workout routines. Complete Arsonal: Fully equipped to a fault.

Dominatrix Rope tyer: You clearly know your way around the rope.

Trap Master: Better at laying traps than the layman. First aider (Intermediate): Better able to treat wounds. Ruthless: Dead men tell no tales. Contract bound: I''m not stuck with you.

Beginner Gun Enthusiast: Wants to learn all about weapons Inside and out. Meticulous: Always fixing small things seeking Perfection ¡ª-- ¡ª Looking through the list, I remembered some of the descriptions being different from when I got them. Some told me what they were meant for, while others did not. I couldn''t help but wonder yet again what was so important about traits. An urge to log out and check the forums for Galaxy Online hit me again, but I ignored it. The ship would soon be docking, and I had to think of a backstory for Sleepy Wonder even more in this universe. The base of my story would be that I was a child of Refugee Rish¡¯an Locktor that jumped ship to ship. I grew up with little education and eventually was accidentally separated from them while we smuggled ourselves onto a new passenger ship. I was found and put in a Federation Orphanage on a planet that I still had to learn the name of. It was a forest planet, and I learned a lot in that forest, including hunting and gathering. That would be something I would need to pick up traits in, and I would make sure to talk to Ura about making our way to the next planet. If I wanted to make myself a bounty hunter around traps, I would have to include that somehow. The ship jolted for a moment, and I felt the world around me get lighter then the world started to get heavier before everything was right again. It was time we landed, and I got my feet under me only to realize the world was slightly heavier than before. It seemed that the Two-bit station rotation was a little faster than needed to increase the gravity this much. Didn¡¯t matter. I loaded up and stepped out towards the bridge where Ura was typing on the console. ¡°All settled, Dockmaster. Thanks for the greeting,¡± Ura said with a smile. She pressed her console in a large motion and turned to me with a frown. ¡°The customer is in the queue for the dock lift, and their number isn''t till tomorrow. That means we have at least eighteen hours before we have to meet the client. Want to go shoot some targets?¡± Ura asked. I felt my smile broaden, and I nodded with a huge grin. ¡°Damn straight I do! Let us get going!¡± I told her, feeling genuinely happy to go shoot my guns. I had that gunfight in that warehouse, but it wasn''t like a good old gun range and thousands of rounds of ammo. I was in the United States at a Call of Duty VR tournament when I last shot several thousand rounds for a promotion video. That was a fun advertisement. Ura smiled and looked down at her console. ¡°I booked an appointment while docking when I learned we have time. Let us shoot for a couple of hours before returning to sleep for the meet-up. We need to head out now as it is late. We can pick up food on the way back to the ship.¡± Ura seemed confident in the ship''s security, and so I nodded. ¡°Let us go then!¡± I replied enthusiastically. Ura zipped up her jumpsuit, and we headed out while I carried my new assault rifle. Ura grabbed it, ran to the back of the ship, pulled something out, and handed me a metal box with another smaller box jutting out of it where it came from. Ura was smiling as she handed it to me. ¡°Hold onto this, please.¡± She told me, and we both headed to the ramp. Moments later, the ramp lifted back up and locked to Ura¡¯s signature. The White and red bay wasn''t the cleanest, but we walked away from our ship into a personnel elevator. ¡°Thousand Grain Gun Range!¡± Ura yelled when we entered, and a chime sounded. ¡°Thousand Grain Gun Range. Estimated time of arrival: Ten minutes.¡± The AI chimed. A second later, with mine and Ura¡¯s knees buckling a little, the Elevator shot off away from the docking bay. I held onto the box she gave me and decided that it was something electronic and put it in my breasts. It cut a little awkwardly into my breasts, but it felt important. Chapter 29: Shooting Range Space stations were weird places, I quickly understood. Despite the fact that we were in a metal ball when the elevator opened, a lively forest appeared before us. It was like a farmers market with people selling wares and shops open on either side of the street. Sure, there were more alleyways, and I saw people with collars on tending the trees and plants. But the atmosphere was lacking the exotic impersonal feel that I was expecting. What I was expecting was a metal cyberpunk landscape. What I got was a lush community feel of an upper suburbs park street. The only contrast to this was the rough-looking men and women moving around. There were also dozens of different species around, and I found a dog person and a cat person who looked a little different from me. ¡°Oh, A Rish and a Cat-kin encountering each other,¡± Ura said with something of loathing, ¡°Please, Sleepy Wonder, don''t kill her,¡± Ura said, looking at me with a sigh. ¡°Why would I kill her?¡± I asked with curiosity as we stepped out of the elevator, and Ura froze. ¡°Don''t your races hate each other?¡± Ura asked, looking a little stunned. ¡°Either I hit my head and don''t remember,¡± I said, covering up my ignorance, ¡°or I just don''t care about those things,¡± I told Ura, much to her surprise. ¡°Come on,¡± I said, changing the subject, ¡°I want to shoot some things. ¡°Typical Rish¡¯an,¡± I suddenly heard a woman say with contempt in her voice, ¡°Giving the Cat-kin a bad name because we look similar. Put away your fucking guns for once.¡± I heard that voice continue as I saw the cat-kin I had noticed a couple of seconds earlier. I looked at her and shrugged, ¡°Why would you care what I enjoy doing?¡± I asked to the Cat-kin, not really caring at this moment what she thought. This was another moment of that racism that this race faced, and I couldn''t help but wonder about the difference between me and the other cat-looking humanoid. She had cat ears and looked like a person in many ways, except I noticed more fur around her arms now that I looked at her. I also noticed some on her legs and couldn''t help but wonder more about her. Instead of asking, I turned to Ura, ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± I told her, and Ura smiled, now the surprise fading. We both walked past the Cat-kin woman who seemed primed for a fight leaving her stunned. We walked down the seemingly stone walkway for a distance of at least half a kilometer before we were in front of the gun range. Nothing could be heard from it, and Ura led us inside, where the atmosphere changed. The nice upscale street with foliage was gone, and we were in a workshop-type place as Ura walked forward to a man with a snake head. His back was arched, and he had two arms that seemed thin on such a thick body. ¡°Howshh Cansh I Helpsshh yousshh toodayshh,¡± The Snake man asked. ¡°Ammo and a rental pistol for me. My Rish friend here will also be looking for a targeting room and workshop to experiment with a new weapon,¡± Ura said with a smile. The Snake man looked at me, and his smile broadened. ¡°Noshh, Customershhh ish ash goodsshh ash a Rish¡¯an Locktor customershh,¡± He said slowly, clearly struggling with the language. ¡°Howsh, Muchsh?¡± He asked. ¡°I need Five point six two ammo, and if you have different forms of ammo, I would like to try them all,¡± I told him honestly. The snake man started to put out boxes and boxes of ammo with large labels on the side. Armor piercing, Hollow-point, Anti-personal, Explosive, Electrical, Buck? My mind paused on the buck ammo, and I couldn''t help but be interested in what I would like to be shot out of my assault rifle. ¡°Two Magazinesh of eachsh to startsh?¡± He asked. ¡°To start,¡± I replied with a smile, ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:200700 ¡ª- Five credits a bullet. That wasn''t too bad, I guess, and I quickly followed up with six magazines of my sniper''s ammo. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:200400 ¡ª- ¡°That should be enough ammo for me to figure out some things in the experimental area and make sure my scope is perfect. What you want for ammo, Ura?¡¯ I asked, turning to her. ¡°Give me five hundred rounds for the pistol, and I will probably rent out something else after,¡± Ura said to my surprise. Seemed she wanted to blow off some steam, and the snake man was happy. ¡°Rightsh awaysh,¡± He said, pulling out a large-looking pistol that looked like it had some power behind it. A second later, he had five large boxes of ammo for it before putting it in a basket, ¡°Thesh experimentalsh stationsh ish thatsh way,¡± He said, pointing out a door saying workshop and test firing area. ¡°Yoursh roomsh ish roomsh, threesh,¡± he said and handed me a swipe card. I took it, and Ura and I stepped away from the counter. I stopped for a second, turned back, and picked up the ammo that the snake man put in a basket for me before turning back and following Ura. ¡°So what do you want to do?¡± I asked Ura looking at her before looking at the separate areas we would head to. ¡°Take this,¡± Ura said, passing me the bounty tablet, ¡°I will call you on it if we need to meet up. It also has an emergency call button on it if something happens. I need to blow off some steam shooting for a bit. When Cramped up in the ship for a couple of days, I like to blow my steam off in a couple of ways; plus,¡± Ura looked haunted, ¡°Since when I met you, I feel like learning some self-defense is good. A pistol is a good start.¡± She finished. I was surprised by her, and I felt proud of her. It was one of my problems with Canada and its self-defense laws that made me think about moving somewhere else in the world. I loved that she was taking the lead, not being a non-combatant. If I let one person through by accident, that she could at least shoot them or delay them so I could help out was a great thing. My smile made her face turn a little purple, and I said a moment later, ¡°Okay, That is good to hear. Call me or come join me if you want at any point. I will be working on and off on my rifles,¡± I told her with enthusiasm, and Ura smiled. ¡°See you soon,¡± Ura said, departing to a different part of the gun range, and I moved to the experiment area. I kept my pistol and shotgun loaded and didn''t have plans for them for now. With the tablet in hand, I took the separate entrance and swiped the card into room three. I brightly smiled as I saw the place and wished we had it on the ship. There was a large long area with a long five hundred meters ranging center with a holographic area in the background. It seemed that it could project longer distances and calculate the ranges or something. I wasn''t sure, but I was interested in finding out. The range had a moving track for targets and a computer on the side to track information, it seemed. On the opposite side was a workbench with a sign above it saying that all the tools there were tracked and checked. I smiled, knowing what it meant to break their tools with that sign up, and I brought my rifle over and started to fill up a magazine with ammo. It didn''t take long after setting things down for me to fill a mag with hollow-point rifle ammo. I moved over to the computer, started setting up the traps and made the bench come up to a nice position for me to set things down on if I wanted to. I changed the targets to humanoids and set it to calculate aim and numerical values based on where I wanted to aim. For now, the center of mass is where I wanted to aim, and I set up everything to where I wanted. I grinned and set myself up, and quickly noticed the earmuffs. They were shaped in this weird way, and I brought them over to cover my ears. Instantly as I put them over my ears, they suctioned on, and my head hurt. They caught up in my hair, and I felt the overwhelming urge to toss them off. A second later, the ear covers were off, and I felt like I was almost having a panic attack when I put them on. Not only did it hurt to have them on, it felt like there was a primal urge to tear them off. I frowned as I looked at my hands as they almost instinctively moved after I put them on for a second and realized this might be part of the species I chose. I couldn''t help but wonder if I disliked the thought of the game controlling a feeling on that. It was common in games to put up debuffs like fear and others. Somehow it never caused PTSD or anything, but it always felt wrong as you didn''t have any control over it. Instead of thinking more, I sighed, picked up my gun, and flattened my ears instead. I looked down at the target and set my gun to single fire. I propped the assault rifle on my shoulder and aimed at the center of mass with a ten-point marker, and the first shot left my new customized rifle. Bang! The gunshot was not loud to my flattened ears, and I relaxed as my ears acted like natural earmuffs when flattened. I could even lift them right after shooting to hear if anyone came in. I smiled and looked down the range and realized that I had missed it. I wasn''t sure if it was me or my arms, so I started to fire in single fire. Round after round missed the ten despite me being dead center on it, making me frown more. I finished at the tenth shot, cleared the magazine and the bullet, and set to work. The sights were messed up, but the gun was shooting properly. I quickly got to work on my rifle and started to set up the gun while lying down to ensure I knew how much it was off by. It took an hour before I got the sights right, and I finished the first magazine. I started to reload with a smile on my face feeling a fascination for guns that I didn''t have in real life. Guns in the real world were like guns in this game, but I wouldn''t be taking away human life in this game. I knew I wasn''t a killer in this virtual reality despite how realistic Virtual reality had become in the last decade. Galaxy online was something completely new, and the realistic NPCs were something I would have to come to terms with later. For now, the crafting system has me so intrigued with the customization. I was learning real-life skills for this game, and I set to work on it like I was preparing for final exams. After getting everything right for the single fire, it was time to check the burst, and I went to blowing more holes in holographic things. Still, each time you punished a hole in them, you could set the setting to you could see the damage it would do. They had done a lot in this, and I found that the assault rifle with hollow-point ammo was dangerous to unarmored foes. It blew a hole in them, and from the reading on the computer, getting hit by one would mean immediately needing medical attention for them to survive. For my final burst, I put it against light armor. I realized that Hollow-point sucked for anyone other than unarmored personnel as the damage only caused some kinetic damage that, at best, would feel like a mosquito bite. It seemed that I needed to keep multiple types or not have hollow-point at all. Sure, the only opponents so far have been unarmored, but I doubted that would continue. This was a tutorial, and this was probably as good of a time as any for me to learn more about the different types of ammo. I grinned and set to work with the assault rifle, learning even more about how it works. Chapter 30: Ammo and Armor I learned a lot from shooting some rounds of each type of ammo. I took down some facts and learned many things from shooting my assault rifle for a while. The First thing I learned was that my rifle started to heat up after thirty rounds, and I had to give it a minute before I shot again if I went full auto. The Second thing I quickly learned was that each type of ammo had its uses. Hollow-point was best for killing people and blasting a hole in them. It was meant for the kill and did maximum damage to humanoids with no armor. Because of this, I made getting a set of light armor, at the very least, a priority. I almost felt naked in simple leather because of it. Armor-piercing was self-obvious and was meant to damage armored targets, but when hitting flesh, it tended to exit in a straight path. It was intriguing to see in the computer simulator function this experimental shooting range had. This was an advantageous ammo type for those in heavy armor. It would drill into the armor and punch through the person. Once inside, it wouldn''t have enough momentum to exit again, so that it would bounce around. So if I had armor-piercing ammo against an armored target, it acted perfectly for killing them. Anti-personnel was a happy medium-type ammo for those armored and unarmored. The unarmored person would get shot, and a small incendiary fire would break out, which could either kill the person or save them by cauterizing the wound upon impact. Armors without fire protection, though, would be damaged and have fires break out on them, causing damage to the occupant, and it could also distract them. It was exciting, and it was extremely useful to have. The explosive was the most interesting. It literally was like an explosive upon impact. The computer-simulated unarmored people would die in horrific ways when it hit them, and armored foes were usually stunned it looked like. It was powerful, but it did mostly superficial damage from light armor to heavy armor. It would cause a kinetic issue, but it would kill the person anytime soon, making it more worth using armored piercing unless you were in a group. I could think of uses for it against bosses if the game had those and for hitting vital areas to open them up in a tank. Otherwise, it felt like a niche ammo that acted a lot like Hollow-point. Lightning rounds were something that I wanted more of in total. I would set it as a default ammo type in the future, especially on trying to catch the person alive. It was a round that was built to hit both armor and flesh and not kill. It would stun the person for a duration after the person was shot unless that armor had conducting abilities. It was like shooting a stun gun at a person multiple times. Extremely useful and something I consider a bounty hunter''s best friend, probably in the future. Then there was the secondary thing about Lightning rounds that I thought of and checked against Robotic or technological enemies and robots. They were strong as hell against them as enemies. Not only did they stun robotic enemies for a long time they also caused them more damage than met the naked eye could account for. That being said, there were ways for producers to mitigate those, which I wouldn''t be surprised to see later. This was a tutorial, after all. The last rounds I had were buckshot, and I realized the use for these was simple. monsters, animals, and creatures, in general, were the target of this weapon. With how many monsters there probably were, you probably didn''t know the anatomy of each of them, so why not full-auto pump them full of buckshot to kill them? It was simple and also worked on crowds of humanoids without armor. Simple and to the point, I decided that I would buy a couple of boxes of ammo of this just in case I had a mission on the planet or a bounty that was in a forest. I grinned, wondering if there were more ammo types, and this was just the start. I wondered if I could also create my own types of ammo and explosives in the future. Most of all, I was disappointed with the explosive ammo, and I couldn''t help but wonder if this was just a low-level version of the ammo that didn''t work very well. There was so much to explore and learn about this game that I knew that these things might be subject to change. I packed up my assault rifle not long after learning all that. Next, I moved onto my sniper rifle and turned the range into sniper mode. First, I checked if my scope was lined up and quickly found it was on point. It was great to hear, and I loved to know that it was ready to go soon. Soon I had the field start simulating various environments, and I quickly started to enjoy shooting. I realized this game was Hyper-realistic or Hardcore realistic since Wind came into effect on bullets from a far distance. I was stunned by the realism, as that was something even the last Call of Duty VR game stayed away from. Gamers were not very happy if a bullet didn''t travel in a straight line and tended to get annoyed about that. It was also the same thing I remembered with an early game where they added spin to planets when you were not there. People tended to get lost in it and not be able to find their old spots. Same with Day night cycles moving around a planet. It was both funny and sad, and I wondered if Gabin Corporation knew what they were doing this time to include it. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. With that being the case, though, I wondered if there was a scope that could feed you the information you needed at some point to help account for that. For now, I would struggle with extremely long-range shooting because of this. It was good to learn in a shooting range; these things exist instead of in a shoot-out. I wouldn''t say I got the grasp too quickly, but I learned a lot while shooting all the ammo I purchased. I knew I had lost track of time and decided to pack my things up, and I would purchase more rounds from the desk. I still had the room rented, but I would also check out how Ura was doing. I got up and cleaned the place quickly before returning to the lobby. As I walked up, I saw a couple of people talking to the snake man at the counter. ¡°Hello,¡± I said as he turned to me, putting up a finger to the others, asking for a moment. ¡°I would like to purchase five hundred rounds of Five Six Two ammo in Armor-piercing and Lightning rounds. I would also like to purchase sixty of buckshot and anti-personnel ammo, and thirty rounds of explosive ammo all in five point six two ammo. Then I would like the same Sniper ammo that I purchased earlier with a hundred rounds and was wondering if you also had some Armor piercing rounds for it, and if you do, I would like a hundred of that and the same in explosive if possible.¡± I put in the order, and the Snake was happy. ¡°Gladlysshh,¡± The Snake hissed out with happiness, and I think he squatted down, although I wasn''t sure if he had legs behind that counter. A moment later, he was piling ammo up for me, and soon I was paying. ¡°Ish givesh ash ssshhhlight dsihcount.¡± The Snake said, and I saw the cost and winced a little. I needed the ammo, though as soon I was taking more contracts. ¡°Thesh Explosivesh roundsh theresshhh,¡± He said, pointing at the sniper rifle ammo box. I paid and winced for the moment as the balance came up on my end. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:191650 ¡ª- Then I realized just how much Credits seemed to be worth. My eyes widened, and I smiled, thanking him as he asked if I wanted a backpack for all the ammo for twenty credits. I nodded, and my balance lowered again. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:191630 ¡ª- The snake man quickly pulled out a black backpack that looked compact and loaded all the ammo into it for me. ¡°Willsh youssh keepssh theshh samesh roomsh?¡± The Snake asked, and I shrugged. ¡°Not sure yet,¡± I replied with a smile, ¡°I will find out in a minute; I will keep it for now,¡± I told him and moved towards the practice range, and he didn''t stop me. As soon as I walked away, he started to talk with the other people in another language. When I looked back for a second, I realized it was a human and a very bright pink humanoid that was talking to the snake. He was looking happy to talk to them, so I continued without another word entering into the main shooting area while pressing my ears down. I walked past the headphones and entered a second room where gunshots were going off in a rapid fire. I walked over to Ura near the end and saw her with a large smile and a slight purple blush on her cheeks as she fired down range with a hand cannon. The large pistol was a large caliber, and I walked up behind her while her ears were covered. She shot another bullet down the range and hit the target. Her aim was a little off, but she was generally hitting the target. She was not the best shot, and I looked down at the ammo left on the desk. Ura¡¯s ammo count was low, and I could see her arms starting to shake as I looked closer. She emptied her magazine and started to load up the magazine. I tapped her shoulder, which scared her a little, and she spun around to see me smiling as others continued shooting. I grinned, pointed at her ammo, and tilted my head in a question, and she nodded by turning a little to pick up the magazine and put up two fingers with a grin. So she only had two magazines, and she started to shoot her quickly refilled magazine with happiness. Not long later, we both stepped out, and Ura returned the pistol, and we both started to head back to the ship. ¡°How did the shooting go?¡± Ura finally asked, looking at my new backpack. ¡°Good, I picked up a bunch of ammo as well. Something to keep me shooting for a bit. I will need to modify my tactical rig a little and come up with some armor, though. I think we both need to invest in some good armor in case things happen,¡± I said to her seriously, and Ura frowned. ¡°Even light armor is expensive. When in the military, I used to have a medium armor rig set in case the ship got boarded.:¡± Ura frowned, ¡°A decent medium armor set is around two hundred thousand credits, and a decent light armor set is at least a hundred and fifty thousand credits. Armor is not cheap.¡± Ura told me, and I frowned. That was the reason no one was wearing armor. If I could buy a lot of ammo for five thousand credits, then that meant armor was damn expensive. A decent set was a hundred and fifty thousand, which meant there were probably some cheap alternatives. ¡°You must be thinking about the cheap shit now,¡± Ura said, ¡°Don''t think about that. They are notorious for glitches that can even lock you in a spot. I am saying this to save your life and mine. Do not ever think about wearing cheap armor. Better to be unarmored than in a cheap suit of armor that can glitch and not allow you to move or shoot. Or even get you stuck without someone cutting into the suit to get you out. It is Dangerous, to say the least. You can also only buy those suits in black markets in places here,¡± Ura said, motioning at the station around us. ¡°Okay, I trust you. I will wait to purchase some light armor. I was just going through the ammo types and wanted the armor to protect against Hollow-point ammo and lightning rounds. For now, I will stick to trying to remain unshot instead.¡± I told her with humor as we reached the lifts. ¡°Well, Let us have a nap before we deliver the goods.¡± ¡°That sounds good; I enjoyed letting off some steam with that hand cannon. My arms are shaking a little from exertion. I want a nap, and we can be in top condition for the deal.¡± Ura yawned, looking cute as she did so, and I wrapped an arm around her pushing my pistol into her a little by accident as I did so. ¡°Your Pistol!¡± she lightly exclaimed. ¡°I will use my pistol on you after the deal,¡± I told her with a grin but released her as we entered the elevator. Ura blushed a deep purple, and I knew I had turned her on with that last comment. I knew we were not going to do anything to each other. We reached the ship dock and stepped into the ship after Ura unlocked it. We both quickly stripped and headed to the crew quarters to lie down. Ura put on an alarm for five hours, and I laid down with her. Instead of anything frisky, I logged out of the game. I had an hour to do things, and I was going to use it. Chapter 31: Important Information Pushing open the pod, I got out and stretched. My body sent a dopamine rush to my head as I felt a crack in my back from laying still for a while, followed by my head feeling light from the sudden burst of movement. I groaned out loud and stood still momentarily as my body righted itself. I got out and turned on my computer as I moved toward the kitchen and turned on the oven. I was going to eat some frozen foods and pulled out some chicken strips and a thing of fries. My stomach growled, and I put out a cookie sheet. The oven heated quickly, and by the time I set things up, I was placing the food in the oven before setting the timer and walking back to my computer. First things first were to check the stats for today''s voting, and it was higher than normal. I looked up my name and found that a big streamer was looking into things that their audience sent them, and my sleeping for the stream was something that gathered a bit of an audience. It was a little controversial or something, but it advertised me well, and the shape of my body on steam seemed to bring some of his viewers in. Seemed that the streamer himself made a joke of paying to vote and picked out the risque lingerie for my night stream. Now that was my top-voted outfit, and it was a latex baby doll lingerie that almost would give you a view. What they didn''t know was that I had this one custom ordered so that it wouldn''t ride up while I slept at night. They would never see anything with it, and I paid top dollar for it. Now it was going to pay off as this stream alone would pay for that outfit with a little profit. My closet was massive, and it cost me easily in the thirty thousand mark, and that was still a lowball guess. Probably somewhere in the range of fifty thousand. I loved my outfit collection for sleep, even if I had to let perverts watch me sleep in it every night. Honestly, I didn''t have men or women over to see these outfits, so it was kind of nice that they were being viewed by the stream. I pulled myself out of my analytics and moved on to research. I didn''t have much time, and I wouldn''t waste it looking at views. My paycheck was guaranteed, and I needed to move on. Hopefully, with this latest luck, I could pay for next month''s rent too and food. Either way, I moved on to my research. I started to look into major forums and their top posts and found something important that made me smile. The post was marked as an important post, and I began to read it. ¡°DO NOT LEAVE THE TUTORIAL EARLY!¡± That was the headline. ¡°Hello, readers, I have looked into related things, and I reached the main game only to delete that character. I found out a couple of things. First, The way to exit the tutorial is through death which is a failure, and you lose that character or through the contract. Those are the only two ways I have found. In my first contract, I was in the military, and it was extremely easy to break the contract. Do something stupid, and they will break the contract, and you will go into the game with a Trait called Dishonorable discharge. These traits can be good or bad depending on who you are talking to. A criminal will be happier to talk to you, while Military personnel will look at you with disdain. That leads me to the next thing. Death, You can die in the main game, and you will not lose your character. It seems if you die, you will lose something off of your body and revive at a location you have visited. I recreated my character before finding out how it completely works. The next main thing is that the Tutorial universe exists atop the Main universe like an instance. We can be in the same place as another person, but we cannot interact until we reach the main universe. After further thought, I believe this is the reason for the Character creation limit. You can go over three, but they will no longer convince you with the time dilation. When I made my second Character, the system warned me about the time dilation. The next character I make will only have the speed doubled instead of Quaddurpled, and the Character menu will become ¡®easier¡¯ and limit your choices. It seems that Gabin Corporation really wants to hammer home how much the tutorial costs them in resources, and I can see it. The amount of server power to have millions of instances moving at the same time with few in the main world must be enormous. I wonder how they are pulling it off. As I restarted my Second Tutorial, I noticed some differences in my second go around. First, I chose a different profession and class. This was the class that I wanted to be in initially, and I found that things were much different. I was no longer part of the military and in more of a paramilitary operation with a completely different contract. So everyone has to deal with these contracts, and I found a lot of the language of these contracts are vague. So be careful when in the tutorial but try to stay in it and earn what you can. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. Wrapping up, though, The Tutorial is a PVE area that works much differently than the Main universe, and I feel that it is a much easier place to survive than the Main universe. Make sure you follow orders and stay in your contracts as long as you can. Everything you get in the Tutorial you get to keep in the Main universe. If you get a spaceship, you probably get to keep that. The main universe is much harsher!¡± It was a post that made me nod and solidified some opinions of mine. My timer went off, and I started to think as I went to go flip my things in the oven as I thought. I was happy knowing that Traits had something going on, but no one knew what it was exactly. No one seemed to know, or if they did, they were not talking about it. I quickly flipped things and put them back in the oven before turning on the timer and heading back to the computer. I started to look through things again and began to wonder what was going on in other people''s tutorials. Some people were talking about basic training when someone posted something that grabbed my attention, ¡°Traits I have unlocked and how I did it! Hey Guys! I will be posting the traits that I have found and how to get and put them up here. So subscribe and help me make some money off this information! Well aimed- Take thirty seconds, and when I shot the person at a vital point, I got this trait! Locked and loaded- Before doing anything else in the tutorial, arm yourself with every gun you own at that moment! Sniper- Honestly, I just shot a sniper rifle, and I got this trait. No idea why it was so easy to get. Grassroots - I completed a quest helping a union. I am not sure if there are other ways to get this. These are all I know for now! Come back tomorrow, and I will have any I earn uploaded!¡± I quickly hit the subscribe button on this person''s posts and made sure I was notified of their posts. If I could grab a couple of traits that seemed useful from their information leaks, then I would get them myself. The person clearly wanted to profit and gain clout this way, but I felt that this was a temporary fame that would die quickly. Still, I would take advantage of it while the person was posting it. They also posted some things I already knew, so I was more inclined to believe them. I heard the timer go off behind me, and I turned and got up, plating the food, and grabbed something to dip in. I moved back to the computer while munching to see if there was any new information. Some people were talking about their tutorials and how little of the information was considered true. Those that left the tutorials early were already making new characters and that meant little information on the main universe. I saw that Gabin Corporation was trying to keep the Main universe free of players till we learned more in the tutorial. There was also a lack of stats I noticed, which was odd. How would things scale if there weren''t stats of some kind? Were there going to be damage values? How were enemies supposed to scale? So many questions with no answers to them, and I couldn''t help but feel excited to learn some of them. I continued to eat and look into things but didn''t really find anything that I was looking for. A lot of mixed information, and I thought some people were trying to put out false information as well. I got a call but noticed it was from my mother and hit the silent button. I didn''t need to deal with her today, and I didn''t want to deal with her today. Instead, I finished eating, got up, cleaned up a little, and ensured the oven was off. After putting some things in the dishwasher, I returned to the pod and looked at my remaining time. I had a little left and decided to go to the bathroom, just in case. Ten minutes later, I was getting into the pod with an excited expression. What was going to happen with the shipment? I felt like that would go fine, but the bounty hunter would be different. Either way I was looking forward to doing more than just bodyguard duty this time when I logged in. As I laid back and the lid closed, I found new eyes opening up in the universe of Galaxy online. My body was pressed against Ura¡¯s as we both had been sleeping. I thought about doing things to her but stopped myself. Instead, I slowly crawled out from the blankets as I knew the time for the delivery was coming up. I got up and decided to start cooking a simple meal for after her nap and grabbed my tablet to see if there were any sightings of my mark. I cooked while looking through the intel and came up with the same things. He was a heavy research fanatic. He was originally criminally charged because of that, and he continued to research. I bet his protection being revoked was also from research. I wondered if there were research labs on the Two-bit Space station. I started to look into it and found a research area not far from the slaver company, known for being discreet. It would keep the information out about the clientele. I decided my first place to look quickly. There was nothing wrong with taking a look and seeing if he was around there. I would check out some of the food establishments nearby and see if anyone had seen him. Seemed that asking slaves would be better than asking pirates as well. I finished cooking and plated the food before getting up and waking up Ura, who groaned but got up with a pout. It seemed that Ura was hoping for a better wake-up, and I let my eyes narrow as I thought about what I would do to her later. Still, now wasn''t the time, and I got up after finishing my food. ¡°Getting ready for the delivery, then I plan to see what I can hunt down,¡± I informed Ura, who nodded, getting up and cleaning up as I left to start getting ready. It was time to deliver the goods. Chapter 32: Hunt Sitting back, I had my new assault rifle loaded and in my arms. I carried my sniper on my back and my handgun in my holster. My shotgun was in its holster as well as I watched Ura talking to the men in question. The credits passed properly, and the delivery was made with both smiling. I didn''t know what was in the package and did not care at this point. This spaceship was both Ura¡¯s and mine, and we needed the credits to pay for everything. I didn''t know everything Ura was up to funding the ship, but she seemed happy with the profit margins at this time. The man or thing taking the goods was almost a ball-like creature with six legs that also seemed to act like hands. It was odd to see, and the things smiled coming from the ball. The mouth was at the front of this ball, and the hands or legs seemed able to retract into themselves. The ball was at least a meter and a half in diameter. Barely able to stop myself from staring, I made myself look at the other guards he brought with him, including the labor. There were two guards with guns, seemingly only handguns on their hips, but they seemed wary of me. One was a human, while the other was a red humanoid I didn''t know the race of. He looked almost human, except the proportions seemed wrong. His legs were too short, and his arms were too long. It was odd looking at them, but I didn''t eye him for too long. The two laborers were human men with muscle on them and skin-tight clothing on them. You could see everything on them, including a collar that made me think they were enslaved. They didn''t look happy in the least to be here, but they operated the machinery without complaint as they slowly took the containers from the ship. The ball smiled at Ura, ¡°Fantastic delivery time, Ura. Your ship is quite fast,¡± He complimented, ¡°Unfortunately, I have no deliveries that need such a short turnaround time. If I have a business colleague that needs an emergency delivery or a delivery to somewhere where the ports would rather not have our goods there, I will recommend you,¡± He finished. ¡°Mr. Rollingtop, I will appreciate that. If you ever have an emergency delivery, we will be your women,¡± Ura replied with a smile, and the ball brought his hand up to his face and waved in a way that almost resembled a salute. Ura nodded happily and reached out a hand, and the ball took it. They shook, and both smiled, ¡°Have a great day,¡± A moment later, the ball left with the suspected enslaved people and the bodyguards. The unsuspenseful interaction made me smile, and Ura replied with a smile of her turning to look at me. ¡°That was an easy transaction. What do you plan on doing?¡± Ura asked. ¡°I plan to take a look into this bounty,¡± I told her truthfully, ¡°I need to see if it is worth my time. I got some information earlier, and I think I can just hit him with a sniper bullet and kill this mage. I am looking forward to a bit of a challenge as well.¡± Ura frowned a little before shaking her head, ¡°I think it might be better not to do it here specifically because of the potential backlash but,¡± Ura sighed, ¡°He doesn''t have protection, then you should be fine.¡± I smiled and came over, kissed her lips, and backed up. ¡°I will be heading out for now; see you later,¡± I said, turning to depart with Ura frowning. I took a couple of steps, then turned, showing Ura the Tablet, and smiled, ¡°Don''t worry, you can contact me if you need to. Also, because I am Rish, I look normal carrying all of these guns. Don''t worry,¡± I told her again, and Ura chuckled. ¡°Be Careful Sleepy Wonder,¡± She replied with a wry smile now, and I nodded. ¡°I will be back soon,¡± I told her, this time getting into the personnel access area, and I hit the button on the elevator to the east area of the station where my mark was active. I walked out of the lift into a much different area than before. This area was much more metal and had less grass than the previous area. Different races were moving about, and the places looked much dirtier. I quickly realized the area I had been in before was the richer area of the Two Bit station. This was the slums and the true side of the pirate station. People were shouting out wares, and things looked like they needed to be cleaned. I walked out of the elevator quickly, and someone jumped in a moment later. The chaos in this area was quite evident, and I quickly realized I was far from the only one carrying weapons here. Everyone carried something that looked like it could somehow be a weapon. Some were carrying staves, while others were guns. Some looked like they were battery-powered, while others looked to be death machines like Miniguns on some big people. I saw a little girl walking around with a giant machine that, if it was a gun, it was nothing less than heavy artillery. I walked deeper in and looked around, seeing some restaurants but mostly many darker-looking businesses. Then I saw the business giving a free slave for killing this man. Chains and Shackles stood there with two large windows with women and men partially dressed. All the people in the window had collars around their necks that were sleek and stylish; I had to admit. They were all in different styles and wore clothes that, although sexual, covered everything. I walked past, knowing I was getting close to where I wanted to be. A research lab nearby provided discreet services for those looking to experiment in the Two Bit station without being bothered. It was only a couple of businesses over, and I nodded to myself, noticing it. I found the lab, now called Discrete labs, with a business run by a Drow right beside the Research lab. It seemed it was a restaurant, and many were on the floor. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. It wasn''t a business I would eat if it were in real life, but in the game, I was willing to risk it. I quickly walked up to the Dark blue drow man standing there with long ears and dark black hair swept to the side and in a ponytail. As I approached and smiled, the Drow was cooking an unknown meat over a hot stove. ¡°What ¡®ould you be ¡®av¡¯in?¡± The Drow said in a drawl. ¡°Whatever you recommend,¡± I replied. ¡°¡®En the Meat on the Grill,¡± The Drow replied to me, looking up at me and smiling with stained white teeth. ¡°Thanks,¡± I answered and pulled out my tablet and pulled up an image of my mark. ¡°Mind telling me if you saw this man around?¡± I asked, posting the picture of the man. The Drow''s eyes narrowed, and I saw a sneer appear on his face. I could see the hate in his gaze and felt my adrenaline spike. ¡°You lookin¡¯ for a friend or enemy?¡± He asked slowly. I looked him up and down and thought. ¡°I ain''t looking for no enemy or a friend,¡± I slowly replied as he continued cooking the food. ¡°I am looking for information for another friend that isn''t happy with this man,¡± I told him, and the man looked at me for a moment. ¡°That ¡®ere is Oxrock, a Fellow Drow. That is all we ¡®ave in common,¡± The drow said, slowly looking past me. He looked down at the food, making sure I couldn''t see his mouth moving, it seemed. ¡°Oxrock is currently in the building beside us,¡± He said, tilting his head towards the research lab. ¡°¡®E will be out in an ¡®our or so. ¡®e comes ¡®ere and eats sometimes. Tell your friend to be careful. Rut¡¯less one that Oxrock.¡± The Drow finished and looked up, plating the food on the counter and passing it to me. ¡°¡®At there costs you two t¡¯ousand Fed Creds.¡± I looked at him, and I decided to smile and nod. I was wondering if this was too easy or not to get some reliable information. If he was coming out in a couple of hours, then that was enough for me to set a kill on the door. The crowds would make the shot hard, but I would run if I didn''t hit in the first shot. I decided to pay and see this through. It would be a risk, and I smiled, taking the meat in hand. It was hot, and I plopped the food in my mouth, burning my tongue as I yelped a little before eventually finishing it. I quickly paid, but the Drow man grunted and turned away. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:189630 ¡ª- I sighed, and I got up and walked away from the store. I looked around, finding a hotel over a hundred meters away, and asked the same question to the receptionist about Oxrock. She seemed not to recognize the man, so I went to a couple of other places to see if I could get an identity on Oxrock. Reactions to his face mainly were like they didn''t seem to know the man, so I stopped looking. Instead, after thirty minutes of asking other people, I walked to that hotel and booked a room. I quickly got a room and told her I was expecting a man to come and meet me. I gave her the name Dan and that he was allowed up to my room with a smile. The receptionist rolled her eyes and looked jealous before sending me on my way with a card. My expression turned serious, and I got up to the third floor and turned towards the street-facing rooms. I noticed a balcony over the love hotel when I first came here and wanted one of those rooms. I was not lucky enough to get one, but when I walked up to a door heading to a door of a room that I wanted. I walked up and knocked quickly, and a moment later, the door opened. The woman looked at me, startled and eyes wide. ¡°Who are you?¡± She asked. ¡°I thought this was my room,¡± I said quickly. The woman was in leather that was tight to her skin and had a whip in one hand, and I quickly realized what was happening. ¡°He ordered two people?¡± The woman said with a sneer on her face. ¡°Fucking clients like this can fuck off. I have already been paid and am not doing anything with a Rish. Too many bullets are included with you fucking Cats.¡± The woman, I realized, was human, and she reached out of sight and pulled out a purse. ¡°Clients on the bed for you, Cat. Enjoy, I have already been paid,¡± the woman said smugly. I watched her go, and I smiled. I walked in and let the door close behind me, and I noticed a card with the room number on it. I took it in hand and stepped into the room to see a naked man gagged on the bed bound. I walked by, ignoring the man, and smiled when I noticed he was also blindfolded. My smile grew, and I walked to the balcony, took my sniper off my back, and looked down into the crowd. I watched the laboratory thinking if this was a good shooting angle. The balcony was thick metal, making a great cover for a firefight. That was when I realized an important trait about everything around me. All the balconies over stores and this hotel made great vantage points with strong cover in case of a firefight. These streets were meant to be invaded and defended in case of a Federal invasion. I smiled and leaned on the railing. This was not as good a spot to ambush Oxrock as I had hoped. But I blended in and had time to aim and shoot from here. If I waited with my gun out, I would be suspicious as hell. Now, I grinned and waited. I frowned a moment later, not letting my happiness show, and a moment later, realizing how unhappy I was with the location. The problem was that there wasn''t another good angle to shoot at the Lab that Oxrock went to. All others were businesses that didn''t allow others to head up toward their balconies. There was no location I could get a sniper vantage point from the inside. The balcony here was not a window but a door I left open to look at the tied-up, gagged, and blindfolded man starting to groan, wondering where his Mistress was. He was paid in advance, and I shook my head at the man while keeping my eyes on the lab. Instead, I was contemplating which gun I should use when or if he came out. I leaned back, thinking and watching for Oxrock, waiting for the Drow to leave his research lab. I wondered what the other Drow problem with Oxrock was for him to hate him when he saw the picture. I was also looking back into the room just in case I got ambushed as well, waiting. I leaned back to wait for my mark. Chapter 33: First Mage Fight A ring broke my watch over the lab. With a grunt not too far as a plead for help from a bound person and snapped out my tablet, which was ringing. I looked down briefly and pulled and took the call. ¡°Hey,¡± I heard Ura say over the tablet. ¡°I was looking into some things, and I think I found a customer with an emergency shipment coming that needed to be sent in twelve hours. Major signing bonus if we take this package. I mean a major bonus that can pay this month''s bills and purchase a slave if we take it. I am considering signing it, but I also don''t want to stop your hunt. So my question is,¡± I looked down from my gaze on the lab to see her blush slightly purple as she asked, ¡°Should I take it?¡± The question was valid, and I smiled; I wasn''t about to make her lose a contract that she was saying was this good because I wanted to bounty hunt. I smiled, but my attention was back on the lab, ¡°One sec,¡± I said, and I closed the door to the hotel room so the bound man couldn''t hear, ¡°Sure, I will be here for another two hours if Oxrock does not show in that time, then I will leave, and we can spend that time looking for a good slave with the credentials we need.¡± I told her as I watched a young man walk into the lab feeling a little frustrated. ¡°Okay!¡± Ura said, and I could hear the happiness in her tone, ¡°I will start looking for something on the local net for slaves. I know multiple agencies here work for different pirate outfits that capture cargo ships. They can get a lot of crew that might be hiding their talents among them. The really good people tend to want to keep a collar around their neck for their own ships. The slave bands don''t mind losing some of the smarter ones either since it makes their ¡®merchandise¡¯ more appetizing if they tend to miss more good ones than the competition. It is an interesting game I am not interested in getting into.¡± Ura continued, ¡°I will look into that so we can at least have someone servicing our engine.¡± ¡°Sounds good to me,¡± I replied with a smile watching a black creature of some kind with five limbs leave the laboratory. ¡°I might have a movement here, so I will see you soon, Ura,¡± I finished and hung up. In the last five minutes, I noticed an increased amount of people leaving the laboratory, and soon my eyes narrowed as I noticed a Drow leave the lab. The man turned to the restaurant next door and started to order food. Before I started to move, I turned on the recording feature of the tablet to watch me hunt, just in case this was Oxrock. After, I quickly moved and brought up my sniper rifle to take a look without much thought. I looked down the scope and saw the man turning and looking around as he ordered something from the man. When he turned, and I saw his face, I couldn''t help but smile and bring my finger to the trigger. This was quick and direct movement as I looked the man in the face as I readied my rifle, and his eyes widened. He looked directly at me, and my finger pulled the heavy trigger. My ears flattened just as I saw the man get up, and shouts started around the area as the bullet tore a hole into Oxrock. I cursed as I looked up, and the man began to glow. I had hit the man in the shoulder, and his arm hung like dead weight as people pulled out weapons, and I ducked behind my cover. Shouts all around started to sound, and people started shooting. To my surprise, people started shooting at each other, and screams and death instantly became mayhem. I looked up and quickly noticed Oxrock leaping onto the balcony and looking at me, pissed. The man looked down at me, holding something that looked like a staff in his still-useful arm, and it was aimed at me. I let go of my rifle and jumped to the other side of the balcony just as the staff seemed to shoot something. A fire sparked, and Oxrock cursed as he looked at me. I didn''t know what the fuck was happening, and I couldn''t hear well because of the constant shooting down below. Oxrock looked composed even while missing an arm and aimed his staff at me again. Fight-or-flight instincts hit me, and I didn''t have room to dodge. My handgun snapped up to him, and I could see his anger as my finger stroked the trigger just as more flames shot toward me. There was no room to dodge, and I didn''t have the momentum to break the door in. The flames hit me, and pain blasted my head as the heat hit my hip; I moved away from it as much as possible. Gunfire and flames were now all over, and I didn''t have time or space to use my rifle. Instead, I moved for my shotgun with my other hand, feeling the heat of the flame as I shot Oxrock again. Oxrock seemed to smirk, even if that smirk was tinged with pain, as the bullets seemed to hit a shield. I didn''t stop shooting, and he aimed his staff at me again. Bullets ricochet off his shield like the bullets were nothing, and I could see the sadistic glee on Oxrock¡¯s face as his spell was finishing. I didn''t have time to do much, so instead of fleeing, I decided to close the distance. The spell came to fruition just as I got enough onto my feet and leaped for him. Oxrock was floating in the air over the balcony, and I reached out for him with one hand, not even realizing I had dropped my pistol while my other hand grabbed my shotgun. The spell hit something on me, and pain blossomed under me from somewhere on my leg. My body collided with Oxrocks shield, and it repelled me down but sent Oxrock further into the air. My hand gripped my shotgun, and I pulled it from my harness and turned around, aiming at the man. I saw Oxrocks eyes widen, and I released both shots from my shotgun, and the shield shattered like glass, sending him tumbling a little in the air and some fresh blood from his body down. I looked around, knowing that I had nothing else, and found my assault rifle on the floor somehow fell off my back as I was fighting and dodging. I had no idea when since everything started, and I reached out for it grabbing the large rifle. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. Bridging it up as I lay down, I turned back up to see Oxrock chanting something while glaring at me. I could see the hatred in his eyes and then see them widen as the assault rifle aimed at him. A second later, I could see him start to move while the spell from the staff started to form, and a moment later, My shoulder was slammed as the rifle fired the first shot. My thumb reached the full auto function a moment later and swiped down as I watched as Oxrock¡¯s spell went wide, hitting the wall as the first bullet hit him for the first time since the battle started. A smile broke out on my face, and Oxrock started to run as he tried to dodge. Trying to run from a pro gamer wasn''t something I would allow. My aim was my life''s work in previous games, and I tracked him as my assault rifle went full auto, and I fought the recoil. Seven bullets in, and five of my shots hit Oxrock, and he began to fall out of the sky. I quickly tried to get back on my feet and leaned over the rail. Mayhem was below as seemingly four factions separated, and people were shooting at each other. It seemed my rifle bullet started off a turf war or something, and I found Oxrock on the ground bleeding and using his one hand to reach cover. It seemed he wanted revenge for the sniper shot that hit the wrong spot and came to kill me in response. I didn''t care, and I came over and aimed down at the man, and my thumb put the gun to burst. Two three-round bursts of 5.62 mm ammo later over the head and where I thought the heart was, and he wasn''t moving. My smile was short-lived as I noticed people turning to aim at me, and I dodged down. Rifle fire speckled where I was on the balcony held. I wanted to curse, and I did as adrenaline hit my body hard. My heart was beating hard in my chest, and more gunfire and shouts sounded. I decided that being here any longer would be bad, and I collected my guns and empty shells that I could see. I put them in whatever pocket and opened the balcony door. I ran into the room, and the bound man was moaning and groaning loudly, and I decided to help him. I got up onto my feet fully, and pain hit my head hard. I coughed hard and stumbled to the bed. Sparks in my eyes of pain flashed, and I felt sick. Instead, I moved to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked down, saw a chunk out of my hip, and cursed. That fucking hurt like a bitch, and I looked down at the burns on it and realized that Oxrock hit me hard with that first hit. There was good news, though, and the hit cauterized the wound poorly but did cauterize it. My leg took a much smaller hit, but I could see burns down my shin. Pain erupted with each step, and I wanted to curse, but there was no point. Instead, I took out my little medkit and wrapped the wounds making my head blank. The pain erupted but also subsided faster than it would in the real world. Gabin Corporation didn''t want to create a generation of masochists, so I knew it would regulate the pain quickly. Still, it fucking sucked, and I got a hold of myself. Stepping back out, I walked over to the bound man and hit him in the neck, making him pass out. It was an old movie that I learned about somewhere; it was one of those movie things that actually worked. Seems they brought it into the game world too. Then I cut his restraints and used the key on the handcuffs. With that, I started to reload my extra magazines before heading down. As I reached the lobby, I heard an announcement. ¡°All factions will cease fire and stop trying to kill each other. An accidental gunshot, not meaning to kill anyone, went off, and you all started trying to kill each other. The Beastials shall go to Dock Three nine two. You will not fire your weapons or be hit with the regulators! The Mystics will go to Dock, oh-oh-two. Or you will be hit by regulators. The Undergrounders, You will go to dock seven niner three, OR YOU WILL BE HIT BY THE REGULATORS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? The Oxfolds, You will be the first to come to the tables, Dock Three three three, or the previous will happen. NO MORE SHOOTING UP THE PLACE, YOU MORONS!¡± I wanted to chuckle, but the shooting stopped immediately, and I stepped outside. I could see angry expressions, but it seemed the fear of the regulators was keeping people in control. The shopkeepers looked annoyed, but like this happened every Thursday or something. Pain laced me as I stepped out, and I could see more than Oxrocks dead body around. The pirates started to collect dead men and women quickly. Humanoids or not, they were collected into four separate piles, and I saw some of the various races smiling. ¡°It seems the Oxfolds won today¡¯s battle; They got to go the tables first. It seems those Beastials came in last again.¡± A dark purple pirate said while picking up a different drow from the floor. It seemed everyone ignored Oxrock at this moment, and some were laughing. It was the oddest thing, and I moved toward the elevators. It seemed they were busy, and the cleanup was happening. Looking injured, though, I got a spot before others as one of the men chuckled. ¡°Ah, Rish got shot a couple of times. I saw her take out an unprotected. Maybe a bounty hunter? Got caught in the crossfire?¡± A dark purple humanoid thing asked with a straight face. ¡°Fuck off,¡± I replied, trying to act like a character, and he chuckled. ¡°You lucky the Regulators are watching bitch,¡± The humanoid said, ¡°We are the winners of today''s bout, and you bitch are easy pickings. I might look for you in the next round. Although you are unprotected yourself, I might look for you tonight.¡± The humanoid said, looking me up and down just as I reached the elevator and stepped in. The hatch slid shut, and I input the number of our dock. The elevator streaked away, and I cried out in pain as it shot off faster than I expected. I stepped out of the personnel elevator a moment later and almost dropped down on the dock. I pulled out the Tablet and hit the record button ending the recording before looking at contracts and calling Ura. The woman¡¯s blue face showed up a moment later, and I smiled. ¡°Open the ramp; I need medical attention,¡± I told her, and Ura¡¯s eyes widened before cursing and shutting down the connection. The ramp came down a minute later, and I was crawling up with Ura¡¯s help. I lost track of time while she injected me with something, and I found myself perking up, and my mind cleared. ¡°Was there a Gang fight while you were there?¡± Ura demanded, and I looked at her with a chuckle. ¡°I might have set one off,¡± I told her with a grin, ¡°Mission accomplished,¡± I told her, ¡°Got my first bounty!¡± The look Ura gave me wasn''t one of happiness. Chapter 34: Mage Explain The medical bay now smelled, and Ura tended to me with a frown, ¡°I heard about a turf war in one of the shopping plazas,¡± Ura said, and I winced as she took off the makeshift bandages. ¡°Yeah,¡± I replied with a wince as she started to put an ointment on the burns on my hip. ¡°Took a potshot at Oxrock after starting the recording and clipped him in the shoulder, taking out an arm,¡± I told her as she applied the ointment. ¡°Fuck, That hurts,¡± I complained, and Ura shook her head, ¡°First shot started everyone shooting at each other. It was insane, but not as insane as Oxrocks appearance before me,¡± I complained, and Ura snorted. ¡°You were going against a Mage. They have instant spells, you know,¡± Ura said. ¡°Like what?¡± I asked. ¡°I don''t know a lot, but we had to know at least some basic spells in the military. They have many spells, but the higher-tiered spells are extremely uncommon and change depending on the mage. They change their spells to fit a battle style.¡± Ura commented as she started to put fresh, sterilized bandages on me. ¡°How fast did he approach you?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Within a second or two,¡± I replied, ¡°Floating in the air before me charging up an attack,¡± I finished, and Ura looked thoughtful. ¡°Sounds like a levitation spell with a haste spell. Haste only works for about five seconds max, and it sounds like he barely lasted a second. Probably not his specialty if you ask my opinion. There is also the blink spell which allows mages to move space instantly, but only high-tier mages know that spell. Space magic is rare too, so few mages know the blink spell.¡± Ura told me, and I winced as she finished covering my hip. ¡°That shield spell, too,¡± I commented, ¡°Took an entire clip from my handgun and a double blast from my shotgun to get through,¡± I told her. ¡°That Oxrock had a large mana pool then,¡± Ura said, moving down to my shin. The hole blasted through the leather, and Ura cut the leather around the wound off before taking off the bandages. ¡°Mana barrier is based on the caster''s total mana pool and protects the caster till that mana runs out. An expensive spell that every mage casts at the start of the battle. It allows them to fight everyone else, knowing they are safe from everything unless it breaks. Freaks them out when it breaks, and the weak mages will usually run when it happens.¡± Ura told me, and I laughed. Pain killed my laugh quickly, and Ura looked up at me as she pulled more ointment out. ¡°Sorry,¡± I said, wincing as pain from my hips hit me hard. ¡°I was thinking how crazy all of this is,¡± I told her truthfully. This was my first game that combined fantasy with Sci-fi. There were so many elements that I didn''t understand, and I never thought about how dangerous a Mage could be. ¡°I never encountered a Mage before and didn''t know how versatile they could be,¡± I told her. ¡°You never encountered a Mage before?¡± Ura asked, surprised, ¡°Holy shit; you lived in a backwater place. This might be a pure tech ship since Mages are expensive, but if I ever upgrade, I will need to keep an enchanter around. Many ships incorporate magic in their usage, and in battleships, it is necessary. Technology and magic may seem separate, but they are linked.¡± Ura began, ¡°I cannot believe you went after a mage without knowing what they are capable of!¡±Ura exclaimed, her anger obvious. I winced and couldn''t come back at her. She finished spreading the ointment on my leg and started to bandage it up. ¡°Nothing to say to that, Huh?¡± Ura said, looking up at me and standing after bounding my leg. ¡°Well, We are heading back out and picking up a couple of slaves. We will give them a good ship to work on, but we cannot stay here after that stunt. Turn in your quest, and we will pick up the bounty. I think because you picked up a free slave from that one merchant, we will pick up two new recruits for the ship. Having a proper ship doctor would be nice, but I shy away from a slave looking to control my health. I think we can just pick up an extra engineer or something. It will be good that we can have them check the other''s work just in case or something.¡± I could tell that Ura was very annoyed, and I couldn''t blame her. I fucked up hard this time, and I pulled out the tablet against my back and looked at it. I turned in the video, and it was quickly into the verification process. Ura looked at me, and I winced, ¡°Verification process started,¡± I told her, and she nodded. ¡°Good, Then let us eat while we wait; it shouldn¡¯t take too long,¡± Ura said and walked out of the med bay. I leaned back on the bed resting and realized how close I was to losing this character. It was very damn close, and the tutorial played a brand-new game in hardcore mode. This was a struggle, and combat was going to be very hard. I needed to be more careful than I was today. Taking a shot at a pirate inside a Pirate space station probably wasn''t the brightest thing, either. That man looking at me as I fled the area as well had me thinking. We were just as unprotected as Oxrock on this station, meaning the pirates might attack us if we pissed them off. That turf war already showed me they had no care for killing other NPCs. It was such a shock to the system at this moment. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Most games didn''t have much of that type of event, or if it was, it was advertised or part of a quest, and I found myself reeling from it. The Turf wars on this station were deadly and broke out fast. I needed to temper myself and learn more about this game before I went in deeper again. I would also need to learn to make traps for people who could fly. There was so much complexity already to this game that I didn''t know what to do about it all. All of this made me question what the pro scene would look like when it opened up. I could feel the complexity of this game as I laid back resting, and when a tone came from my tablet, I pulled it back up, wincing at the movement. I looked at the screen and smiled as the verification went through. We were now the proud owner of a voucher for a slave on this station. I got up with a wince and left the medical bay. Moving slowly, I got into the crew quarters and watched Ura move around the kitchen in that sexy jumpsuit. I just noticed that we still needed to wear new clothes and remembered that Ura had some hidden. I couldn''t wait to dominate her with something nice, and I walked closer to her as she cooked. ¡°Good news,¡± I told her as I neared, ¡°Verification went through. We have a voucher for a slave from the store.¡± I said, and Ura smiled. I pulled up the voucher, and it said that it was for any slave in their store, guaranteed. It sounded like a funny way to word it, but I wasn''t going to care. ¡°I think we shouldn''t tell them we have a voucher and ask to see their best slaves since it says we can take any slave they own,¡± I commented, and Ura turned to look at me with a smile. ¡°Good idea,¡± Ura replied, ¡°Now, sit down and rest your dumb body. Those wounds will need to be tended to at our next destination. We are going to Yarnow¡ªa pretty corporate world with two deliveries. The client has a dark and legit cargo going there that he needs there pronto¡ªa shipment of military supplies to a rebel group. Too bad we can''t skim some off the top because it looks like some serious ammo, but those have some top-grade seals on them. I don¡¯t have a way of replacing them. Besides that, the legit cargo is some parts for a corporation that had a manager quote on quote lose a massive shipment, and the client picked up the parts on it. It made a nice excuse for our package. The client gets paid for returning property and makes a tonne selling to the rebels on Yarnow.¡± Ura finished, and I chuckled. ¡°Sounds like a good package.¡± I complimented, ¡°I will be there to deliver the product and for the pick-up. You are right, though. I need to get myself looked at. Hopefully, a doctor that knows Rish physiology.¡± I finished with a smile. Ura shook her head, ¡°You took a hard one near a vital organ. The fact that you are not showing symptoms means you are probably fine, but better safe than sorry.¡± She finished, and I nodded. I sat back, watching her shapely ass shake as she worked, and smiled. Ura was like a sexy assistant in this game, and I enjoyed her company. I hadn''t had a boyfriend or girlfriend in a bit, and the only person who called me lately was my mother, looking for money. My brother called asking to give me my money too. I hadn''t spent time with my friends recently as they knew I was tight on cash. The last few days were good on sales for voting, freeing up my wallet a little. I would love to go out a little to do some shopping for some new sleeping clothes. I had lost myself in thought without realizing it until Ura placed a plate of food before me. I looked at her in surprise as she set the food down, and I grinned, ¡°Thanks,¡¯ I said with a grin. ¡°You looked lost in thought,¡± Ura said. ¡°Yeah, just gathering wool in my mind,¡± I told her, ¡°I think an engineer would be a good addition, as we already discussed. We should save the credits and hire a doctor or a nurse at least to work on the ship later. We can use the voucher for an engineer and keep them working on things properly. The Doctor can be hired, but we will have to find someone that is on the crooked side. Maybe even have them prep serums to help us heal in combat.¡± I finished. ¡°Well,¡± Ura looked unsure, ¡°Although I am not a fan of slaves, I feel more comfortable with them after how we met. The collars are a mixture of tech and magic and do a good job. But I also see your point,¡± Ura gave in, ¡°The extra credits into the debt principal would help. We are also making more credits than I thought when I first started this venture.¡± Ura admitted, ¡°Still, We need to save for replacement parts, and the engineer will have to advise us of that,¡± Ura told me, and I nodded. We both ate in silence for a moment, and I could tell we were both thinking. Choosing a slave was going to be important, and we needed to do it quickly. The food was disappearing before us, and soon we were done in silence. I finally looked up and replied to her, ¡°I think we will look at whoever we purchase and play it from there. If we meet a nicely qualified doctor that was probably abducted from a ship, a good place to stay, we can go ahead and buy them as well. We will play it by ear and only go to one store instead of shopping around. We need to take the package and leave as soon as possible. So I think that should be our game plan,¡± I told Ura what I thought was a good plan, and Ura tilted her head in thought. ¡°I like that idea,¡± Ura said, and I smiled, ¡°Let us go; we can clean up when we get back. We will have four days in transit to the next planet. Long ride compared to the last two.¡± Ura said, and I nodded. We both got up, and I went to the med bay while wincing. The game reminded me of my injured status. I didn''t care and suited up and tried to look like I was walking normally as possible. It didn''t take long for us to leave the ship, heading to Chains and Shackles that put out the hit on Oxrock. Chapter 35: Chains and Shackles We walked up to the Chains and Shackles store and entered. The clean-up from the prior turf was already complete, and it never happened in the first place. Stepping into the Chains and Shackles store was interesting as it wasn''t what I expected. I actually didn''t know what I was expecting as we entered a typical waiting room. Couches were there, and Ura and I walked over to sit down to relax. Not even a full minute later, a woman came out to greet us. The woman had long, flowing golden hair with two floppy golden ears. She smiled as she had just met her best friend, and the Monocle in her left eye made her look more business oriented. Her breasts were small at no more than a B cup, but she wore a red dress with designs on it that made her look good. The woman smiled and came over, ¡°Hello! I am Linsey, Your trader today! Would you like to take a look at our wares? Our gathering captain recently returned with a great cargo hauler, and the new products look promising. Is there anything specific you are looking for in your Product today?¡± She asked, then pressed her head with the back of her head, ¡°Excuse me, It seems that I forgot to introduce myself. I am Linsey!¡± She finished, and I looked at Ura. ¡°You actually had introduced yourself, Lindsey,¡± I said with a soft smile as I thought this girl was trying to make herself look clumsy. ¡°We are interested in some wares today. We are looking for an engineer of high quality and a Doctor of high quality that still has the ability to learn.¡± I told her with a smile. ¡°Dear me, I had,¡± Lindsey seemed to turn and shake her head, ¡°Sorry, I have just been so busy with things that I seemed to have forgotten. Would you come back to the private rooms so that we can show you our wares?¡± Lindsey asked, and Ura nodded. I put my hand on my gun but nodded, and the woman eyed my weaponry for a second before showing us to the back. The hallways were clean, unlike the rest of the floor, and a moment later, we were inside a much nicer room. It had a glass wall with a door separating us, but you could clearly see inside. Two couches and an armchair were set up, and I sat with Ura on one of the large brown couches available while Lindsey took the armchair looking toward us. ¡°Now, we tend to separate you from the product to keep communications from rebellious slaves from those who might potentially not want to pay from them.¡± Lindsey said, ¡°Other than that, we do not tell you that you cannot interact with them before purchase. We want productive products that do what they are supposed to do. Not useless toys that are good for nothing and waste our materials. So we will work with you on that.¡± Lindsey continued and pulled out a tablet, and the glass turned into a TV screen showing nothing at this point. To be honest, I was a little blown back by this woman. She didn''t even look at the sentient beings she trafficked as people. They were products to be bargained on and sold to the person willing to purchase them at the highest price. It was a clear disregard for people''s freedom which a Western girl like myself took a little hard. Still, I knew what I was getting into coming here. ¡°Now, For Engineers, what type of specialist are you looking for?¡± Lindsey asked. ¡°Slipstream,¡± Ura replied to business. ¡°That is a more difficult one. The thing is that a while ago, we actually picked up a specialist from a cargo fleet that was on the wrong ship when the fleet got attacked. With a successful pincer, we picked up a tonne of product. Including this little product.¡± Lindsey said, and a picture of a woman appeared on the screen. ¡ª Name: Emily Age: 22 Specialization: Slipstream Engineer. Schooling: Heliox University Personality: Argumentative Race: Half Succubus, Half-Elf Starting price: 300,000 Credits ¡ª Looking at the girl on the screen, you could see two little horns peaking out from her temples. She looked extremely annoyed and like she wanted to kill the person taking the picture. On her neck was a glowing necklace that was the slave collar. Her face would be cute if it wasn''t for that expression, although I couldn''t blame her for that. ¡°Although the product is still argumentative, it usually is toward the best way to follow orders. We were unable to find out more about this product has not been very forthcoming with information to us. The product''s price has been lowered for that in particular.¡± Lindsey gave us both a wry smile and a shrug, ¡°Unfortunately for the both of you, this product is our only current Slipstream Engineer we have in store.¡± She took a moment to let that sink in, ¡°Are you interested in looking at Generalists that may be able to handle your ship?¡± Lindsey followed up. Ura was frowning, and I let her think since I didn''t know what the ship needed in the engineering bay. Finally, Ura turned to look at Lindsey after looking at the profile for a while, ¡°Bring Emily up for a conversation since she is the only Slipstream Engineer you have. For now, show us the potential doctors you have.¡± Ura said, and I nodded at Lindsey in agreement. ¡°Okay,¡± Lindsey said, looking down at the tablet, and Emily¡¯s profile minimized and went up into the corner of the screen for now. ¡°For Doctors, is there any specialty you are looking for?¡± Lindsey asked, looking at us for inquiry. ¡°Someone who can deal with battle damage on Both of us,¡± I replied, and Lindsey looked us both over and nodded. ¡°General surgeon with multispecies orientation. Someone who can learn and probably can deal with stress. Our company has been thriving lately with the number of pick-ups, so we got a couple of options.¡± Lindsey said, and quickly seven profiles showed up. The first one to show up had me extremely surprised. ¡°Ah, Our own Arachne Doctor,¡± Lindsey said, pulling up the profile. ¡ª Name: Doctor Teria Hairless Age: 34 A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. Specialization: Multi-Species general surgeon Schooling: Arachne Capitol University Personality: Cooperative when it comes to patients. Argumentative outside of it Race: Arachne Starting price: 1,200,000 Credits ¡ª Her picture was taken from farther back, and her face was pure white but had a human shape. She had two long-looking arms that looked longer than they should have before and a black and white body that seemed to be covered in chitin-like armor. Her breasts were covered in a long white jacket that slipped around a large lump on the back with eight long legs out. She looked like something straight from a nightmare with furry undertones. Her face looked scary but had its charm, in my opinion. ¡°Extremely competent product. Product credentials are amazing, and honestly,¡± Lindsey looked at both of us, ¡°Very, Very good at learning. We use this product, and the product continues to do well when fixing issues with our other products. We would hate to lose her hence the price tag.¡± Lindsey smiled, ¡°That is the best product we have available.¡± I was frowning, but I kind of wanted to use the voucher on her. The problem was that this Doctor was too large. Our ship was small, and although she was probably the best fit overall. I don''t think she could actually fit inside our spaceship crew quarters. ¡°Unfortunately, I do not believe with the size of our spaceship Doctor Teria Hairless would be a good fit for us. She is simply too large for our spaceship.¡± Ura said, and Lindsey looked at us surprised but smiled. ¡°Then let me bring up the next product,¡± Lindsey said with a smile. A new profile showed up quickly, and I looked over the information about the male-looking alien I saw. ¡ª Name: Tristan Delorock Age: 42 Specialization: Multi-Species general surgeon Schooling: Fairrim Capitol University Personality: Cooperative when it comes to patients. Very Sexual Specimen Race: Rockaine Starting price: 900,000 Credits ¡ª Looking at the picture, it was a close-up of a masculine-looking rock face. The skin on this species was utterly rock-like in a shocking look. There was a lack of eyebrows, and the face with the jewel-like eyes was a hard thing to comprehend. ¡°This is a unique Rockaine general surgeon. This product is competent, enjoys learning about new species, and, as it says on the profile, is being with them sexually. The product is male with working genitalia that I will allow you to discover if you purchase this product, but the product is another competent product that will suit your needs as you have stated.¡± Lindsey finished, and I shook my head. ¡°Can we see the next one, please,¡± I requested. ¡°I am not exactly wanting a rock inside of me,¡± I informed Lindsey, and she chuckled. ¡°Fair enough, Would it help if I reduce the price by a thousand Credits? Would that make you more interested?¡± Lindsey asked. ¡°Same issue,¡± I replied, and Ura nodded. The sexual specimen remark made me uninterested, and the same with Ura. ¡°Very well, Moving on,¡± Lindsey said, and that one disappeared off the monitor. ¡ª Name: Yellow Greenhorn Age: 31 Specialization: Multi-Species general surgeon Schooling: Leno Capitol University Personality: Cooperative. Uncooperative when there is little work. Race: Tellon Starting price: 900,000 Credits ¡ª This was a more hawk-looking person with a masculine demeanor, and Lindsey looked at us with a smile. ¡°Now, This is a product that just likes to do its job. If you are looking for someone who can do an entire Cargo ship, then this is your Tellon. The Product is a very hard-working product that falls into their job, but their skill is missing a little. They are eager to learn, but it takes time. They are not a genius but an excellent product that hates sitting on their hands.¡± Lindsey said, and I leaned back in thought. I looked at the profile, and the sharp face with feathers instead of hair was interesting and attractive in its own way. It wasn''t something I would like to wake up to, but I could see the beauty on his face. I couldn''t help but wonder if they were also a potion maker. If he were, then he would be a perfect purchase. Someone constantly working for us and was happy to do so. The only issue would be keeping the materials for him to continue making things. ¡°Would he happen to have another job other than the multi-species general surgeon that he is trained in? Nine hundred thousand credits are steep for him.¡± I asked, and Lindsey looked at me and shook her head. ¡°If you want a Multispecies general surgeon and another sub job, we do have a product like that, but not this product,¡± Lindsey replied. ¡°I am now interested in this other person you mentioned,¡± I replied with a smile, and Lindsey smiled a more business-like smile. ¡°Certainly, I will put this product on the maybe area for now and show you this product,¡± Lindsey said, and a moment later, a new profile came up to my surprise. ¡ª Name: Nyava Litterborn Age: 26 Specialization: Multi-Species general surgeon, Potioneer Schooling: Grantville Intergalactic University Personality: Uncooperative. Suspected Medical issues. Genius minded. Race: Cat-kin Starting price: 700,000 Credits ¡ª ¡°I was worried showing this to a Rish, but you don''t seem angry, at least. This product would normally be worth more, but the product has issues. The product was taken in a raid from another supplier other than our own. Not exactly sure how the product was picked up, but the product graduated from a very well-known university. The product, unfortunately, has issues with keeping on track and doesn''t listen to orders well. You will have to find your way of making this product productive. We only found that they will be productive when you give the product something interesting.¡± Lindsey said, ¡°Still, her worth is still high, and we are selling this product for seven hundred thousand Federation Credits.¡± I looked at Ura, and I nodded. I looked at the picture of a woman with a very angry face, Like a cat that you just gave a bath to and then forced to sit with something it hates for a photo op. She was clearly pissed off and ready to kill the person taking the picture. The collar around her neck was like the others with a blue glow. ¡°Bring her up for a conversation,¡± I said, and Ura nodded. ¡°We will think about purchasing the products after a conversation with them,¡± I told Lindsey, who was now smiling brightly. ¡°Perfect!¡± Lindsey exclaimed and hit something on the tablet, ¡°Is there anything I can get you while you wait for the products to be brought up?¡± She asked. ¡°No, thank you,¡± I replied, ¡°Maybe some privacy?¡¯ I asked a moment later. ¡°No problem; please discuss with each other on your own while we gather the product for you,¡± Lindsey said before departing. I looked at Ura, who nodded, and I pulled out my tablet, and she pulled out one of her own. If we were to discuss, it would not be in person, where a listening device could overhear us. Chapter 36: Voucher SleepyWonder - So, what did you think of the picks? Ura - I think the engineer from Haliox University is more competent than they know. Heliox is a much more renowned university than the Pirates know. It is for a select community that the Federation loves. I do not know why she was on a cargo ship, but I am surprised they picked her up. She will probably be a keeper, no matter what. I am more worried about the Cat-kin. They tend to hate Rish, and the feeling is mutual. I looked over at her, shrugged, and typed my reply on the tablet. SleepyWonder - I don''t really care about the relations, to be honest. We might have friction, but it will probably come from her. I like my guns and other things, but as long as she does her job properly, she looks to be a real asset that we can use well. Ura looked at me in surprise, then looked thoughtful. We were quiet in the chat room for a minute before Ura started to reply. Ura - We will see about her. We can use the voucher on the Cat-kin. They probably will be unhappy that we use it this way without informing them. But we can also tell them that we also didn''t use it on their most expensive slaves. Still, we must converse with these two before solidifying our choices. SleepyWonder - Completely understood. I will let you lead the negotiations, but I will also keep my hands on my guns to show our willingness to fight. Ura nodded, and we both leaned back in wait when Lindsey returned not long later. ¡°Sorry for coming back; it seems they brought the product for you to view and converse with,¡± Lindsey said, pointing at the window, which turned back into a window instead of a screen. I couldn''t help but wonder if the door was a fake out, and we were watching the screen instead of looking directly at her. On the screen, a woman was walking out, looking annoyed. Cute little horns suck out from her temples, and a long clack tail emerges from her worn-looking plain brown dress. Emily looked annoyed and turned to face the window and glared. You could tell she hated being shown off like this, and the shackles on her hands were obvious. She was an attractive woman, and her long ears made her look like an elf-demon mixed person. Her breasts were about a C Cup at most, and the clothing was not flattering. ¡°This is the product named Emily. Would you like to converse in person or through the glass?¡± Lindsey asked. ¡°In person,¡± Ura replied, and Lindsey nodded. She turned and opened the door, ¡°Bring the product in!¡± She called out, and a moment later, a Man with his own gun motioned for Emily to enter the door. ¡°Fuck you,¡± A sultry womanly voice came out of Emily¡¯s mouth as she walked toward the door. A moment later, she was here in the flesh and looked at Lindsey with hatred, ¡°Fucking dog,¡± She scoffed. Suddenly I saw Emily shake, and her mouth turned to a snarl as I noticed Lindsey pressing something on the tablet. Emily only sneered, taking the pain of whatever the punishment was before Lindsey turned to her, ¡°Now, Emily,¡± Lindsey began, ¡°These two women are looking to purchase you. They would like to chat with you.¡± She said plainly and turned to us. ¡°You may talk, but no planning of taking her out of here without paying us or escaping. Brutus behind her is ready for that type of talk and will shoot first and ask questions later,¡± Lindsey informed us before taking a seat in her armchair. ¡°What the fuck do you two fucking want?¡± Emily asked. Her personality seemed to be quite jaded, but I would be too if I were in her position. ¡°Well,¡± I began, ¡°We are looking for a Slipstream Engineer for a small cargo hauler that we think you are a great fit for. You will be allowed relative freedom working on the drive and even a wage later to purchase things you wish. We will allow you to earn experience and freedom from us in time.¡± I said, and we instantly had Emily¡¯s attention. ¡°A small-time cargo hauler with a slipstream drive?¡± Emily asked, looking thoughtful, ¡°Small crew, you must be smugglers but not pirates.¡± She began thinking, ¡°How long will it take to earn my freedom, and how much will the wage be?¡± Emily asked, her voice still sounding annoyed. ¡°We will work that out without the current company. We will work with you so that you do your best for us instead of forced labor,¡± I informed her, and I looked at Ura, who was nodding. ¡°We know there are many things that a competent, well-educated Slipstream engineer can do to our ship if they no longer care for their lives. We will work something out, and you will have some relative freedom and can earn more freedoms as you earn trust.¡± Ura said. ¡°I can guarantee that as the ship''s current captain,¡± Ura finished. ¡°Best offer I guess I can fucking expect with these fucking assholes around owning me. Can''t fucking believe I had to help that Johnson fucking asshole with a fucking issue on the Heat sinks because he was too fucking useless to do it himself when these fuckers picked me up.¡± Emily said, looking at Lindsey. Then she spat on Lindsey without a word. ¡°Fuck you, dog,¡± She snapped and gritted her teeth as Lindsey pressed a button on the tablet and looked at Emily with disdain. ¡°Are you purchasing this product or not?¡± Lindsey asked. She looked completely unfazed by Emily''s actions, which was odd to me in so many ways. I looked at Ura, and Ura nodded to me. ¡°We will take her and pay for her now. Please prepare to hand her over immediately, and she can join us before we meet the other woman we were looking at.¡± Ura finished, and Lindsey nodded. ¡°That will be three hundred thousand credits. Thank you for your patronage,¡± Lindsey said with a smile and nodded. Ura stepped up, and a couple of documents were exchanged before we signed the electronic and physical papers making Emily our property. It was odd, but I felt strange like I was purchasing a car more than a person. Not long later, though, she was ours completely, and Emily shook her head. ¡°This is a punishment device for the product. Press it or download it onto a tablet, and you can punish her for her words that might not be exactly against the orders you gave her. Or you can use it if you like to be a little sadistic,¡± Lindsey said, looking at Emily before reaching up and adjusting her monocle. ¡°The product is legally yours now. Please keep her from assaulting me during the rest of our transaction.¡± Lindsey finished, and Emily barked a laugh. ¡°Fuck you, Dog. I hope you and your Pirate trash burn in a sun for eternity.¡± Emily snapped. ¡°Emily,¡± I said, turning to look at her with what I hoped was an understanding look. ¡°Please restrain yourself till we leave. I would rather not end up punishing you for valid feelings of hate. Okay?¡± I asked her, and Emily turned on me with fire in her eyes. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Emily opened her mouth to say something but paused. She closed her eyes, and when they opened again, I could see a bit more restraint in her demeanor but also like some fight left her. Not much, but it was restrained and would come back with force if we mistreated her. ¡°Fine, I will be quiet,¡± Emily said before adding after a second, ¡°For now,¡± She finished, and I nodded so did Ura. ¡°Great, it seems that the product will listen to you for now; please keep a good hold of her leash,¡± Lindsey said with a smirk as I noticed Emily looking heated. The hate between these two seemed to be at an all-time high, but I wanted to claim my voucher for killing Oxrock. It was also the reason we purchased Emily now instead of together. ¡°I have been informed that Nyava has been,¡± Lindsey closed her eyes for some reason, ¡°Brought up to talk to you. Please be aware of the personality traits in the profile.¡± Lindsey finished before turning to the wall as the man walked back out of our room and into the viewing room. We saw a very attractive and annoyed-looking woman with large triangular ears. Little white puffs came from her ears, and she was super cute looking. Her hair was long and wavy all around. She looked like a windstorm had hit her just moments before and looked like a fur ball. A white jacket with stains on it covered her on the sides, and when she turned to look at us, she looked more annoyed. Under the jacket was another beat-up-looking dress with a long black tail that swished in the air behind her coming up and twisting around her hip like a belt. She looked very annoyed, and I saw the short fur on her arms and legs with the jacket being pulled up when she put her hands on her hips. I couldn''t tell much about her other than she was extremely annoyed by her entire demeanor. ¡°Well, This is Nyava. Would you like to talk to her in person or through the wall?¡± Lindsey asked, ¡°My personal belief is this conversation would be better through the wall since she looks,¡± Lindsey paused, ¡°Focused at this moment,¡± Lindsey finished. ¡°In person, please,¡± Ura replied, and Lindsey sighed with the greatest show of emotion she had shown yet. ¡°Very well,¡± Lindsey replied. She turned, and the door opened, and Nyava looked at the guard, annoyed, although she wasn''t in cuffs like Emily still was. ¡°Oh, Can we have the cuffs taken off, Emily?¡± I asked as they brought in Nyava. ¡°Please wait till you are leaving to take the cuffs off her. We have had some incidents with the product, Emily.¡± Lindsey said calmly. Nyava came into the room looking very annoyed. ¡°Are you the reason I lost my thinking time?¡± Nyava asked immediately. ¡°That is fine. I am just wondering whether you have any equipment for a potioneer. Medical bay? I am terribly bored in these holdings, and they find me annoying. If you do not have the credits to afford me, please do not call me again. The food here might be terrible, but at least they provide a quiet spot for me to contemplate recipes. I am looking forward to when I am on a medical station with proper supplies.¡± Nyava said rapid fire. Her words were quick, and she looked at me with a questioning look. ¡°Oh, A Rish, Interesting. Quite a similar species to mine but with some serious disadvantages and positives that help with the manufacturing and usage of propellent-type weaponry. I have been meaning to look more into your physiology.¡± Nyava turned to Lindsey, who looked annoyed already, ¡°Would you be able to provide the proper documents so that I may be able to look into this further? I think it would be fascinating and would bring up my price so you can sell me at a greater amount of federation credits later.¡± She continues spewing more, and Lindsey hits a button on the tablet. ¡°OH! YEAH!¡± Nyava suddenly exclaimed and moaned loudly, and her tail shot straight up, and her body shivered, much to my surprise and Ura''s. ¡°Nyaaahhhhhh,¡± Nyava purred as whatever happened continued till Lindsey turned to us, looking exhausted. ¡°Do you have any questions? Make them now before she goes off again.¡± Lindsey said. ¡°Are you interested in working in a small smuggler''s ship making potions and being our Medical officer?¡± I asked. Nyava looked out of it for another second before her eyes snapped to me, then to Ura. ¡°Oh, A small smugglers band? Neutral and will be out of the way. They may even end up in trouble. As long as you provide materials, food, and a place for me to work and study, then I don''t care if you are a massive freighter with three hundred people. As long as I get to look inside people when they are injured and continue to experiment. Press that button once and a while, too,¡± She said, pointing at Lindsey, ¡°It is quite an enjoyable experience that they use to punish people. I don¡¯t understand why people hate that feeling. There is nothing like the anatomic nervous system being flared up to high heavens to brighten one''s brain. They have come up with something truly special.¡± Nyava continued, and I looked at Lindsey with understanding. This Nyava was a hardcore electro-masochist or something. I didn''t know, but for someone used to controlling their slaves with the shock collar, someone like her who enjoyed it for prolonged periods was something of an anomaly. Even Sadists wouldn''t like this woman either, as they tended to want the women to feel the pain, not feel that pain as pure pleasure. It was an interesting conundrum, but I looked at this woman, and Ura looked at me and shrugged. ¡°Nyava,¡± I began, ¡°I am a bounty hunter, so you will have to work on a Rish most of the time when I am injured. Is that an issue?¡± I asked. Nyava turned to stop her from talking for a moment, ¡°Why not? Is there a problem?¡± She asked, ¡°I know some of my kind dislike the Rish because we look so similar, and you tend to be gun-loving hotheads. Terrible shame what happened to your homeworld. But that isn''t my problem. I find it more an interesting thing to study.¡± She told us before she was about to continue talking, and I held up my hand, which she seemed to respect. ¡°Then we will purchase you,¡± I said, turning to Lindsey, ¡°I did a job for your company not long ago and received a Voucher for a slave instead of payment,¡± I told her, and Lindsey¡¯s eyes widened in horror. ¡°No, No, No, No, No,¡± She said, showing the most emotion I had seen yet before turning to look at Brutus. ¡°Brutus, Give me the central tablet,¡± She said with a shaky voice. He handed her a much thicker tablet, and she took it. Nyava looked interested, looking over at Lindsey as she pulled up something on the tablet, and her eyes widened. ¡°WHO THE FUCK PUT THE VOUCHER IN LIKE THIS!¡± She screamed. Emily was laughing now, and Lindsey looked up at me with horror on her face, ¡°Why didn''t you tell me that you had a voucher?¡± She asked, ¡°You were the one who took out Oxrock?!¡± ¡°Never said anything about reporting I have a voucher when coming in,¡± I said, pulling up the voucher on my tablet, and Lindsey snarled, looking down at her tablet. She seemed to look through things and looked up at Brutus. ¡°I have to oblige this voucher, or the bounty hunter organization will get involved. We cannot mess with payment and wanted to give one of our lower-level slaves away.¡± Lindsey said with a sigh. ¡°Brutus, Derrek was the one who put this in. Ensure that security has him in a collar by the time we finish. We need to make up the monetary losses,¡± She snarled before turning to me more composedly while Brutus nodded and looked away and down at something. Without me noticing, the monocle in her eye fell, and she reached down and picked it up off the floor while Emily laughed in the background while Nyava looked mildly interested in the proceedings. ¡°We will honor the Voucher, and we will also put in the mistake to the Bounty office so this doesn''t happen again if we use their services. Please consider us again in the future when you have recruiting issues or are in need of an extra product in the future.¡± Lindsey said, her face composed once again. Lindsey¡¯s composure when it came back so fast from a loss was interesting, to say the least. I nodded, ¡°We will definitely be thinking of your company When we are considering these issues in the future,¡± Ura replied before I could, and I nodded again. ¡°Thank you; hopefully, that will make up for the loss we received this time. Next time if you have a voucher, please inform me. It would be very much appreciated,¡± She finished, and Nyava chuckled herself. ¡°Looks like I have a new owner, Nya,¡± Nyava said, looking relaxed, ¡°I will miss the silent time Nya,¡± She finished and was about to go on a rant when Lindsey hit a button, ¡°AH!¡± She moaned out. ¡°Please let us complete the details of this before I have to hear another of her rants. She has even relaxed enough to start that fucking Nya shit again, and I hate it.¡± Lindsey said, and Emily was now down on the floor with tears in her eyes as the slavers who held her took a hit from our use of the voucher. Twenty minutes later, we were heading back to the spaceship with two slaves in tow, heading up to the spaceship with Emily free from her shackles. Chapter 37: Problems Reaching the spaceship, only one of our new crew members was vocal as we showed them around. ¡°Wow, This is quite the small little ship. I can see that this will be a tight fit,¡± Nyava said, ¡°But I can make do Micronization for many things in the medical area these years. The Potioneering supplies, though, will be a bit more critical. I have so much I want to do, and you even have a storage closet doubling as a slave-holding cell. Perfect, I could even get my hands on some test subjects! Interesting,¡± Nyava went on as she literally almost jumped around to the machines that I had no idea what they did. ¡°Ah, this scanner is pretty high grade. I wasn¡¯t expecting to have something runnable while I worked after being purchased. Interesting,¡± Nyava continued completely in her own world. We watched from the door to see the energy that Nyava was running around the medical bay. ¡°This is my area, right?¡± She jumped back to us, her movement extremely swift. I almost felt like she had that haste spell that Ura mentioned Oxrock used. ¡°Yeah, we expect you to be the ship''s doctor,¡± Ura replied, and Nyava smiled brightly, turning around and surveying her land. ¡°This is small and cramped, but that is okay! Challenges are challenges that I can overcome with hard work! Please,¡± She turned around to look at me and down at my injuries, ¡°I want to look around and see what I have to work with, but those injuries were not taken care of properly. Please come back in ten minutes after I look around at my current stock and figure out what can be done for you with my current knowledge.¡± Nyava finished and pointed at the door, ¡°Please.¡± She insisted. Being dismissed from the medical bay was surreal as she had just entered the ship. Nyava was an interesting woman, and I couldn''t help but wonder about her mental health. She seemed to be a classic case of attention deficit disorder, and her energy was all over the place. I could literally see her transfixed on something for the briefest of moments, like it was the only thing in the world only to jump and run to something else and repeat the process. What I knew for sure about her was that the ship was about to get more lively. On the other hand, Emily looked around with a cold eye as she looked things over. We brought her to the engine room and showed her the tools, and I could see her frowning. ¡°Can I act like that Nyava woman for a bit?¡± Emily asked, looking things over. ¡°Please be open; We are about to take off from the station after we get our delivery, so knowing now is better than not,¡± I replied with Ura nodding, looking very interested. ¡°Fine, I have good and bad news for you,¡± Emily said, grabbing a tool that seemed to be a handle with a point that almost looked like a wielder. She quickly started to motion over something on the engine, pulled a panel off a couple of seconds later, and shook her head. ¡°Just as I suspected,¡± Emily said and turned to look at Ura and me. ¡°I don''t know who has been running this ship, but I have to say a couple of weeks ago, someone did a couple of burst jumps. That brings me to the good news; You have about seven to ten jumps with these parts.¡± She said, looking at the engine again. ¡°Bad news, if you don''t find some replacement parts for me to fix this engine within those ten jumps, you are going to be stranded. Someone abused the fuck out of this engine a while back. I am very wary of wanting to be on this ship with an engine in this shape.¡± Emily finished, ¡°This is just a preliminary look too. After checking more thoroughly, I could bring back better or worse news for you.¡± I was frowning, but Ura looked furious, and finally, she cursed, ¡°Fucking little shits did Short Bursts in my fucking SHIP!¡± She roared, ¡°Fucking pirate dumb fucks.¡± She lamented a second later. ¡°Sorry,¡± I said, ¡°What are short bursts, and why are they bad?¡± I asked. ¡°New to space travel or slipstream?¡± Emily asked while Ura walked away for a moment to calm down. ¡°FUCK!¡± I heard Ura cruse a little away, and I turned to look at her. ¡°New to space travel,¡± I replied, ¡°More of a gun girl,¡± I finished with a smile. Emily laughed, ¡°Not trying to depreciate you, but that is typical Rish thinking.¡± She said while laughing. She shook her head after a couple of moments before turning to look at the engine. ¡°Slipstream is different from other modes of transportation. Big ships cannot really move through it, and it is faster than most modes of transportation. In the military, they use Slipstream on small corvettes to send messages that can¡¯t be put on the galactic network, and they use them as scouts. The tech is still fairly new, but one of the things that hurt the life cycle of Slipstream drives is very short Burst jumps¡ªbringing you into slipstream space for fractions of a second to jump a great distance. The engines are not built for it, and it damages them a lot. It is fine if it is only one or two jumps, but it seems that someone accidentally stuttered a jump because of a lack of skill to make it only one jump. I am not completely sure, but I will need to look more into it before I can tell you for certain. What I can tell you is that there was some damage.¡± Emily said, her face showing concern, ¡°Also if you don''t believe me, we can always bring the ship into the next port and have another specialist look into it.¡± She pursed her lips and turned to look down into the engine. ¡°Another set of hands fixing this might not be bad either. I need to take some time and look through all the engine parts and crawl through the ship. But the capacitor here,¡± She said, pointing at an object in the engine, ¡°See the edges?¡± She pressed her finger, and I noticed that it pushed down and seemed more secure while she was pointing at what looked like scratches, ¡°This capacitor shook loose, and that isn''t the only part. I need to look through to see if I can give an overall look into things. We are good for a long jump for now, I don''t recommend it, but I think getting out of a Pirate station for safer grounds makes a lot of sense.¡± Emily finished. ¡°Okay,¡± I replied, ¡°Look into it and take pictures if you can as well. We might need them in the future in case the ship was built incorrectly as well.¡± I told her, ¡°Or if it was deliberate sabotage. Ura will need it, and because pirates recently took over this ship and we retook it not long later by Ura and myself, there may be other issues. Please look into it, Emily.¡± I finished, and she nodded. Emily¡¯s stomach then rumbled, and she blushed cutely, ¡°Um, Can I have some dinner first, please?¡± She requested, ¡°I can work better full.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± I replied with a smile, bringing her to the crew quarters. ¡ª- New Trait unlocked: Personable. This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. You make people more easily like you when you''re being friendly towards you. ¡ª- I noticed the notification as Emily was now smiling as I brought her to the kitchen and pointed at the table for her to sit down. ¡°The Beds are above us, and the crew quarters are tight. There are five rooms, and Ura and I claimed one.¡± I told her as I opened the fridge and started to bring out the ingredients. I started the prep work while Emily looked me over. ¡°You don''t seem like a typical Rish¡¯an Locktor,¡± Emily said as I turned on the stove. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked as I pulled out a pan and started to heat it up. ¡°I mean, Rish tends to be more, Crazy. You haven''t pulled out a gun or stroked it softly, whispered to it, or anything like that. I met a Rish back in school, and she wanted to use Slipstream engineer job to fund her gun nut obsession because a lot of gun manufacturers told her to go away.¡± Emily told me, ¡°I was in her dorm for a couple of weeks before they separated her into the more confined room where she could be crazy by herself; for those few weeks, though, she was stroking her gun every day. She whispered goodnight to it every night, and she had this long rifle that she would use as a body pillow to sleep with. It was insane, in my opinion.¡± She finished. I looked at her surprised and thought about my experience as a Rish in this game; This Race if my feelings were the norm when it came to touching things, then I could understand why the Rish loved their guns. When I felt a gun, it was so smooth, and there were no microfractures or things that drove me crazy. Guns with minor faults like that would break quickly under strain. This made it so the people of my race loved guns which made people scared of the race. I pulled out my handgun and stroked it lightly with a finger. The smooth texture sent a light shiver up my spine because I was thinking about it, and I turned to her. ¡°Do you know that stroking a gun makes me feel good?¡± I told Emily before I put my gun back in its holster. I returned to the food prep and continued, ¡°I can feel the defects in things with my fingers. When I lay down on bed sheets, if they are too low of quality, it is like my skin is being scratched poorly everywhere it touches my skin. My skin is extremely sensitive in many ways.¡± I told her bluntly, ¡°Now, the metal of a gun makes euphoria hit me a little as I stroke my gun. Do you have something that brings pleasure every time you do it?¡± I asked her. Emily looked at me oddly, ¡°What do you mean you can feel the defects.¡± She asked me. ¡°I mean that on this pan handle that looks perfectly okay, there are micro fractures in it from the poor making of it. The quality is bad, and each time I touch the handle, I can feel them, which drives me mad.¡± I told her the truth looking at her, and I flipped the food as I cooked. ¡°What you think might be crazy was a young Rish trying to keep her sanity in a world of poor quality items that drove her mad.¡± Emily looked at me, shocked, and I chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t know if that is the truth, though,¡± I told her, turning to her, ¡°Don''t know any of my race, really. I kind of just found myself a couple of weeks ago on a cot naked in a Bounty office and decided after saving a hot alien spaceship captain to take me to the stars.¡± I shrugged, being vague. Emily pouted, and when I turned, I saw Ura leaning on the bulkhead with a soft smile. ¡°Making dinner?¡± She asked, looking over to the new hot crewmember that was sticking around. ¡°Yup, some for Nyava, too, if she can tear herself from the medical bay,¡± I replied. ¡°She is looking for you to do medical treatment.¡± Ura reminded me, and I frowned. ¡°Well, Food comes first; she can come over and grab some food before the damn treatment,¡± I told Ura solidly before Nyava came out from behind her. ¡°Nutrients are important, but one of the drugs that I want to use on you I need to have you lacking substance in your stomach temporarily. So no, you are not allowed to eat. Come for treatment now and eat afterward.¡± Nyava commanded, and Ura walked over to replace me. Somehow without the gamer in the damn spaceship knowing, Nyava became the defacto in charge, and I had no choice. I was soon wincing as Nyava poked and prodded my body and made me swallow something before taking off my bandages. ¡°You took a lot of damage and your Rish¡¯s kidney equivalent which I am not used to the term your race has called it is damaged. You will need some regen treatment and an overall temporary hormone replacement pill for the regrowth of the damaged organ. I will need to do some research into the proper hormone. In the meantime, your wound is improperly cauterized, probably from the wound itself. We need more antiseptic and fresh bandages along with a small treatment.¡± Nyava told me before ordering, ¡°On the bed and strip; I need you naked so I can check for anything else.¡± I sighed, got up, and stripped naked for Nyava, who was now looking down between my legs. ¡°Oh, Interesting. A Hermaphrodite race, not common but not uncommon either. No, Rish are not fully Hermaphrodite race, so you are an interesting case.¡± Nyava looked me up and down and pointed at the table, ¡°Lay down, and I will get to work with a numbing agent,¡± Nyava said before she stuck something against my neck; suddenly, the world tilted a little. I felt the scratchy cot disappear from under me. Nyava then got to work and shoved a pill into my mouth. I swallowed it on instinct, it felt like, and she started poking me, which I barely felt. Suddenly she was wrapping something around me, and the time just flew as my head wavered oddly. Nyava then moved down to my legs and continued to work before coming back up to my arm, and she seemed to address my gunshot wound. ¡°Incredibly Lucky! You didn''t get an infection,¡± Nyava commented, ¡°Tell me, now that I am almost done, SleepyWonder,¡± Nyava said as her face suddenly appeared above me, her smile curious, ¡°What are your proclivities in the bedroom? I am much the type that enjoys being treated roughly, and I would hate not to have a partner for years on end. I prefer keeping myself in the lab and not having to search for partners.¡± My head kind of swam, and I looked at her, ¡°You really are a little bitch,¡± I commented, looking at her, ¡°You are a little Masochist who needs a stern hand guiding you in the bedroom. I saw you enjoying those strong shocks like an electro slut. Let me guess, another bitch that wants to be dominated by a big girthy woman such as myself. Huh?¡± I asked her while my head just swam. I felt myself talking, but it all felt weird. ¡°Oh, Joy, Looks like I won''t have to look far,¡± Nyava said with a smile, ¡°now, The counter agent for the drug I gave you. I am sure you will remember all of this and feel a little nauseous, but it will disappear quickly with calories. Do punish me later. Be rough and hard as you can. I really want you to spark my nervous system response to your treatment of me. I would hate to need to find someone on a planet or pay for it. Just a waste of credits that can be used for research.¡± Nyava finished as she ranted and pressed something against my neck. A moment later, I was leaning against the side of the bed, barfing hard. I coughed, and memories of moments ago hit me as Nyava walked away. Her tail swished happily, and she turned and smiled, ¡°I heard Dinner is ready, Sleepywonder; Care to punish me once you''re feeling better?¡± She asked, and my eyes narrowed. I realized as my memories of what happened moments before were no longer hazy came to me. This Nyava was a hardcore masochist, and she was the type to do whatever it took to get it. She was going to be a problem, and my eyes narrowed. Either I punished her, and she got what she wanted, or I let her walk all over me after Nyava drugged me. That would ruin a lot of my authority over her. I felt my eyelid twitching, and I spat on the ground with the taste of bile in my mouth. I would have to think about what to do with Nyava and need to know soon. Chapter 38: Anger Fury and anger hit me like a truck as I finished getting a hold of myself. This Nyava bitch just drugged me so that she could learn the type of person I was. Another retch went through me, and I had to spit out more vomit as I got a hold of myself. ¡°You will need a caloric intake. That dinner that you were making for all of us will be very useful to you to feel better. Please, Punish me later; I will not resist,¡± Nyava said with a smile. I closed my eyes for several moments and felt the nausea returning, so I opened my eyes and got off the table. I was rarely this angry and, to be honest, Scared. This game allowed my inner thoughts to be out for a minute, and an NPC made me talk. Should that even be possible in the game? My mind centered back on the fact that Nyava had done it to me, as I didn''t want to think about the larger implications at this moment. My fury was high, and there were questions I didn''t want to answer truthfully, like my current feelings about the program Ura. Those feelings were something I wasn''t sure about either, as I had just met her in real life, but in the game, it had been over a week now. I got up out of bed and stumbled towards the hatch, and I stepped out of the Medical bay with a new appreciation for the crazy bitch that we purchased. Nyava was a woman with a very large screw loose, and when I sat down to eat, I got two concerned looks from Ura and Emily. ¡°You okay?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Not really,¡± I told her, turning to the Med bay, ¡°Nyava truth drugged me,¡± I snapped, and Nyava poked her head out, surprised. ¡°I must have read you wrong, Sleepy Wonder,¡± Nyava said, coming out of the room. ¡°My respect for you has gone up several notches. You are not the type to hold things in and deal with them yourself. Very commendable,¡± She noted, and I rolled my eyes. ¡°You drugged me, questioned me, then let me puke it all out in five minutes or something.¡± I coughed out, feeling like shit. ¡°Oh, I also treated you. Some of the drugs that tend to be universal can help with Truth drugs. I only added a little spice to piss you off for some fun time later. Please punish me in a way you see fit. The other women can help out if you so wish. I do not wish for this to ruin our working relationship. Rish¡¯an Locktor is unique, and I have so much to learn from you,¡± Nyava countered, and I rolled my eyes. This woman was insane, and I turned to her, ¡°Yes, In five minutes, you treated me and questioned me while drugging me.¡± I said, my sarcasm evident. ¡°Oh, that is another thing I must correct; your time perception is incorrect; it was twenty minutes that I treated you in. Although five minutes would be an impressive time that I could brag about for a long time, it is a gross exaggeration. Now please, eat; you will feel much better with calories and essential vitamins infused in the food that spacefarers eat.¡± Nyava countered. I couldn''t help but feel annoyed, but I dug into the food instead of losing more of the argument. My anger was still simmering, but I knew to keep good control of it, and I knew this woman loved pain. Letting her get a kick would be the worst thing I could do, and I would have to develop something better. She wanted the pain like a typical pain slut. That meant that there was a better route to play with her if I decided to. It wouldn''t be tonight, either, as I needed to log off and get a hold of my anger. Not only that, but I had been logged in for a lot longer than I should have been, and I was struggling to remember when I last logged off. If I remember correctly, it was after I went to the gun range with Ura and before the delivery. It had been almost twenty-four hours, I think, since then, or maybe sixteen hours, but I was exhausted, and this game was high-intensity. My mind needed a break, and I had a job to do outside. ¡°You okay?¡± Ura asked, waking me from my thoughts, and I realized as I had devoured half my food that I was feeling much better. ¡°Yeah, I did need the calories,¡± I told her, deliberately not looking at our doctor. She seemed smug about it, and I rolled my eyes. ¡°Are we about to head out?¡± I asked, feeling sleepy. ¡°The goods should be here soon. Once that is packed in, we will make it to our next destination before Dry docking for a bit. I am taking what Emily said seriously and putting up our ship on repair. I plan to book it for the dock to see the true extent of the damage.¡± Ura said, and Emily smiled. ¡°Although I haven''t been on the ship long, I am glad that you are trusting me. I will take a look to see the extent of the damage, but Micro jumps can really hurt a slipstream drive. I will not know the true extent without ripping out a bunch of bulkheads.¡± Emily said, and Ura nodded at her. ¡°Perfect,¡± I said, taking another bite of food when a loud beep came, and I grabbed my guns. I pulled up my assault rifle, and Ura walked, showing me her juicy ass as I followed her to the ramp. The com showed a bored-looking man, and Ura opened up the Cargo bay for the goods they were bringing. It didn''t take long, and the dark cargo container quickly went into the nook without anyone else being allowed to see it. I watched the delivery take place in silence as Ura moved things around while the bored-looking man brought it up, and he looked surprised when the dark cargo disappeared. When all was said and done, Ura happily signed, saying she accepted the packages they delivered, and the man left without further incident. Stolen novel; please report. Ura didn''t return to the crew quarters as the ship locked up. Instead, she went to the bridge and started to prep the ship for leaving. ¡°We going?¡± I asked, leaning on the doorway as Ura finished talking into a mic. ¡°Yup, we are in line for five minutes and can get out of this station.¡± She replied. ¡°Good, I am exhausted and need to sleep. I feel like I am going to collapse.¡± I told Ura with a soft smile, and Ura turned to look at me. ¡°You want to do anything. I still have those outfits?¡± Ura suggested, and I could tell she wanted special attention. I stepped toward her and leaned to whisper into her ear, ¡°When I wake up. My stamina is done; then I will make sure Nyava is extremely jealous of you,¡± I told her, making her face turn a wonderful shade of purple blushing. ¡°You are cute,¡± I told her, turning and walking away, ¡°See you when I wake up,¡¯ I told her and walked down to the crew quarters and saw Emily just finishing cleaning up dinner. ¡°Thanks,¡± I told her, ¡°I am going to bed; you can use any other room that Ura and I are not using,¡± I continued as I got on the ladder and headed up to the beds, ¡°See you too when I wake up.¡± Emily seemed to look a little lost, but I couldn''t care anymore. I went to the bed Ura and I had been sleeping on, put down all my guns, and laid back on the bed, tucking myself in. I logged off without another moment''s thought. The pod opened up a moment later, and a yawn ripped through me as I was exhausted. My mind felt groggy, and I found myself sweaty and yawning hard when I stretched. I got out and stretched more, and decided a shower was needed. I picked up my phone and noticed a missed call from an unknown number. It had been about three hours ago, and I shook my head. It was almost night time, and although it would be a little early, it seemed to go to bed I could get some extra things done. I ordered food, walked to the shower, and started washing myself as I hoped the food would arrive by then. The heat washing off my hot body was relaxing, and my head fluttered with exhaustion. After everything, I learned something major about this game today. The combat was harsh, and I needed to plan more. I needed more traps and things to help me out. Oxrock was a hard target, and missing my first shot was something I needed to be more prepared for. I needed to plan for the days with the pro league, especially after the last time I got kicked off teams. I needed to be invaluable for the strategy based around me to become irreplaceable. There was also the route of making my own team, but that was insanely difficult. Gaben Corporation was good at funding their pro leagues, but they were difficult to win in. With the large cash prizes they hand out, the first pro league would only be the start of a brutal competition. Stepping out of the shower, I quickly dried myself off and picked up a low-cut crop top and some comfy hot pants, which didn''t hide much when the doorbell rang. I smiled and opened the door to see a kid just past the age of eighteen holding my food. I smiled and took the food from his hands while he was staring at my body, shocked. I closed the door in his face, not feeling horny at the moment. Bringing the food back to my computer, I turned on my computer and decided to learn what the perverts online wanted me to sleep in tonight. With a yawn, I dug into the food and brought up my account. I looked and smiled as I realized that the choice of outfit was a very tight latex outfit with a little skirt around my ass, hinting that it was covering up something that you couldn''t quite see. It was a sexy little outfit, and it was one of my favorites as a tight latex outfit. I couldn''t help but smile, and I ate with a smile, thinking about the cute and sexy little outfit that I got to wear tonight. The pervs chose well tonight, and the money was coming in faster than normal. I was going to make rent safely and easily this month. It was great with all the expenses that Galaxy Online took out of me. This Sleep stream was a better and better thing for me, and these perverts continued to pay for my lifestyle. They were my perverts, and I enjoyed that thought. I decided to take a break from Galaxy Online, turned my attention to something more soothing, and turned on some cat videos. Instantly as I watched them, I was reminded of Nyava. The woman pissed me off, and even my calmer side was pissed off with her. I needed my own form of revenge, and I knew when I logged back in tomorrow, I would do it. I smiled as I remembered various things I used to do. Ura was a fun playmate, and I wonder how Nyava would react to getting her deserved punishment. Before I even knew it, I was planning in my head what to do to the naughty cat in the spaceship over watching random videos on the internet. When I clued back in, it was already late, and I yawned before turning on the stream and realizing that my stream would be soon. I turned on the equipment and walked away, letting them enjoy the look of my slightly messy bed before I crawled into it. Let them get all antsy, and I set the alarm posting what the alarm was. I was exhausted, and the ship would be flying to the new destination while I was asleep. I got up, walked to my closet, and found my outfit for today. I put it on methodically, and soon my breasts and cock were hugged tightly. A little skirt around my waste covered the bulge of my cock, and I yawned. I looked good in the tight red Latex outfit, and you could see every contour of my shapely body. Nothing was missed except around the skirt, and there was not a gap anywhere other than my head. I loved tight outfits, and this was yet another of my favorites. Enjoying looking at myself in the mirror for a couple of minutes, I sealed myself in and turned, leaving the room for the bedroom. I cleaned up after dinner and tossed the trash into the kitchen before heading to bed. It was such a long day in the game that I was just done. I sat down at my computer and smiled, turning on the computer camera. ¡°Hey guys, Sleepy Wonder here. Another sleep stream for you all. The winner of today''s vote was a cute little Latex outfit that I absolutely adore. Check it out,¡± I said, backing up and showing off the outfit. ¡°Sorry, everyone,¡± I followed up. ¡°I am really tired, and my alarm is set, and I need tons of sleep with how exhausted I am. Enjoy the stream, and maybe you will see something fun,¡± I told them and turned the cameras onto the bed before getting up and crawling in. Moments later, if I cared to look, I could see chat going crazy over which angle was the best. I let them enjoy themselves and curled up to a pillow, knowing I was showing off my ass and not caring. I fell asleep quickly after such a long day. Chapter 39: Naughty Captain Beep, Beep, Beep! The sound of the alarm rose me out of my sleep, and my cock throbbed in my latex outfit as I moaned. I couldn''t help but feel something primal in me, and my latex-covered hands touched my thighs and started to stretch up ever so slowly, feeling up my body to my breasts gliding over my breasts, sending shivers of pleasure up my spine, assaulting my head as my hands reached my head before going over. My head was blasted with pleasure as I finished stretching, as the pleasure woke me up despite the alarm being the reason I awoke. My eyes fluttered open as my lips parted in a sensual moan as I realized I was awake before yawning. I stopped moving and cuddled up to my pillow for a moment, unable to stop myself from thrusting into the pillow as my lower body throbbed with need. I moaned without thought before I realized I was awake and my stream was going, and I finally got up. I looked at my computer and saw the stream going crazy, telling me to masturbate and many other perverted things. I yawned and got out of bed, moving to the computer and turning on the computer camera switching from the bed recording devices. ¡°I hope you all enjoyed watching me sleep; I will put up a vote before going to play Galaxy Online in a bit. I am still in the Tutorial, but my device records the entire thing. Hopefully, in the future, I will make a show for you all to enjoy. Probably pay an editor to do that, though, Have a good day,¡± I finished as I yawned again. I turned off the stream and moaned; my hand roamed down to my cock. Morning lust took me, and I found myself stroking myself over the latex without thought. My mind was blank, and I continued to go at it till my brain burst with pleasure, and I finished inside my outfit. I leaned back on my chair and took a deep breath as my mind restarted, and I felt much better and could think. I got up feeling sticky and sighed, realizing I would have to take time to clean this properly. I didn''t want to be out of the game for too much longer, as I had given myself a full night''s sleep. So again, I ordered food while I moved to the shower and started to strip out of my latex outfit. It took a couple of minutes, but it was like peeling off a layer of skin, and my body breathed for the first time in hours as I finished taking it off. I felt incredible and free as I stepped out of it and into the shower moments later. The hot water was only a plus, and I lost myself in the shower as I washed off the significant build-up of sweat that accumulated under the latex outfit. I washed myself and realized my body felt hypersensitive. I groaned as I realized what this meant, and it wasn''t good. I was getting into my period time soon and tended to get hyper-sexual and moody around then. It also meant the viewers would probably be getting morning shows while I woke up or even while I slept. It didn''t matter as I knew I could pay rent for this month and probably next month. The stream had been doing exceptionally well, and as long as I wasn''t banned, everything should be okay. My mind wandered for a bit as I started to wash my hair and take my time as I allowed my brain to slowly wake up. I finished washing, stepped out of the shower, looked at myself in the mirror for a moment, and dried myself haphazardly. I brushed my wet hair as I yawned. Then I grabbed my sleepwear, walked into the kitchen, and began washing my latex outfit. I put it in the sink and got things started before heading over to my closet and picking up some underwear and hot pants. I put on a nice T-shirt with Ghost from an old Call of Duty game I picked up before walking back into the kitchen. While waiting for my food, I cleaned up my outfit and tossed my other clothes into the washer. I took some time to clean up and cursed the delivery driver as they seemed to be taking their time. As I cleaned, my mind turned to Nyava, and I decided that since she liked pain, the worst punishment for her would be to dish out pain. Instead, I thought about Ura and what she picked up the other day while I was sleeping. I wanted to try out whatever she picked up and use it on her. My cock throbbed, thinking about Ura and her alien blue skin that turned purple when she blushed. I had to be honest with myself; I loved that alien body and all its supple features. Her ass in that Jumpsuit was prime, and her breasts were massive. Her body just called out to me, and her personality wasn''t submissive, no matter how submissive she was in the bedroom. Having her assist me with the punishment dished out to Nyava would be insanely helpful. Nyava was a selfish type of person, and she wanted things to go her way. She was what was essentially a very selfish Masochist, even above the norm. When we purchased her, she enjoyed the electronic shock that the sales lady gave her but refused to reciprocate at all with her own actions. It was a common trope among many Masochists not to take the dominant''s feelings and to plan in mind while they blindly took their pleasure and pain. Being a Dominatrix or Dom was not an easy job as you had to consider their feelings more than they knew. Most of the time, you had to think and plan their reactions to each thing you would do and plan around that. If you invoked the wrong feeling or hit some type of trauma response, then all that planning not only goes up in smoke, but you lose all the pleasure you were building up because you cared for the person you were hitting. At least, that was what Dominatrix or Dom should do. You got off on the power and absolute control you have over that person, and if they take it from you, you have to quickly come down from that high you had moments before. That was why using a Safeword haphazardly when you were enjoying yourself just to see how your Dominatrix or Dom would react was such a serious issue in a relationship. I realized that my tired mind had thought about a past relationship all of a sudden, and I shook my head. I had finished cleaning up my Latex outfit, and I needed to dry it now, and so I took it over to the clothesline in the laundry area and hung it up to dry. I put a bucket under it so it didn''t damage the floor when I remembered it was already there from last time. Instead, I started to wonder where my breakfast was. As if the delivery person had been waiting for that thought, the bell rang, and I opened the door before I grabbed my food from a surprised-looking black man. ¡°Thanks,¡± I said quickly and closed the door a little rudely, but they had taken their time to get here, and I was hungry and annoyed for no reason. I moved to the kitchen and emptied the sink before washing my hands and bringing my food back to the computer. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. I sat down and realized although the stream was off, I forgot to turn off my equipment. I put down my food and moved around the room, turning everything off before I sat back at my computer. Instead of searching on the forums, I put up my poll. I put on a couple of cute outfits that were not my favorite, but I knew they were stream favorites, and I hadn''t put them up to vote. Following that up, I put in one of my favorite latex baby doll outfits that were deceptively long. I loved teasing the little perves into thinking that they could see up and see all the goods. Instead, I turned on gun-making tutorials which were incredibly easy to find on the internet in the States. In Canada, there were a lot of gun laws, whereas, in the States, there were very few and far in between. I started to look at modifications, and many were making things go from single-fire to semi-automatic. Then there was the increase in magazine size as the next most popular. Both were incredibly good for me in the game, and so I spent some time watching them with a small smile as I ate. Soon I was done, and I had posted my next vote, so it was time to enter the game. I yawned and stretched as I thought of it and decided that I was going to have a lot of fun once I entered. I already knew a day ago that Ura was a little pent-up, and I had spent a little over ten hours out of the game. I would wake up in the game, probably just as she was either going to bed or waking up. Didn¡¯t matter to me as I knew the perfect wake-up recipe for her. My smile was small and vicious as I got up, walked to the pod, opened it up, and got inside after turning off my computer. Laying in the pod, the lid closed as I closed my eyes, and moments later, I awoke in the universe of Galaxy Online. The quick contrast between the real world and to virtual was amazing, and I felt someone touching my body as my eyes fluttered. ¡°You sleep too much sometimes,¡± I heard a voice complain, ¡°Here you are sleeping almost for two days straight now,¡± I realized the voice was Ura, and I could feel her hand push off the covers for my lower body, so I remained still. ¡°God, You are big, Sleepy Wonder. How does this thing fit so snugly inside me?¡± She asked herself as she pushed down my pants, revealing my cock. Her hand found my partially erect cock and started to stroke it, and I couldn''t help but open my eyes as I felt something wet drip onto my face. In front of me was her dripping slightly purple pussy dripping slowly down onto my face. A moment later, I felt heat and moisture as she took my cock into her mouth. Her tongue licked the head of my cock and swirled around, sending shivers of pleasure through me. My eyes rolled, and I instinctively thrust my hips into her mouth. Then I decided that since this Naughty Ura was going down on me, I should reciprocate, and my hands pulled back, touching Ura¡¯s thighs before I reached up and pulled myself into her cunt. ¡°MMMPPFFFHHH!¡± Ura tried to talk as I shoved my cock deep into her throat just as my mouth opened and sucked on her alien pussy. Her pussy started to gush her sweet pink fluids into my mouth, and I sucked hard, making her squirm and gush even harder into my mouth. My hands spread her cheeks, and her head bobbed up and down my cock as we started to suck each other off, and one of my fingers found the back door. I pressed and teased the little hole, making her squirm, and pleasure rocked both our bodies as I thrust my tongue into the depths of her cunt. Ura pulled back and moaned loudly, ¡°Oh, god, you''re awake!¡± My hand came down on her ass hard, and I freed myself from the depths of her pussy to reply, ¡°Finish what you started, Bitch,¡± My words snapped her back to work as she took my cock back into the depths of her throat and my mouth returned to her purple pussy thrusting in and out while a finger dove into her ass. A second later, she moaned on my cock, and her pussy squirted that pink fluid into my mouth, which I drank without restraint. My cock throbbed, and her mouth never stopped, finally sending me over the edge, and I thrust into the depths of her mouth pussy sending streams of my character cum into her. We both moaned, and I pulled back her pussy, dripping vaginal fluids onto my face as I finished cumming inside her throat. When Ura finished swallowing and pulled back up, she took a deep breath before turning around and lying on my chest, our breasts pressed together and my hard throbbing cock between her tight thighs. Her blue face had turned that embarrassing shade of purple that she got when blushing as I had caught her in the act. ¡°What a naughty Captain I have,¡± I said as she lay on my chest, ¡°I was planning to enjoy you wearing our new clothes you bought, but that will have to wait,¡± I said, and I quickly flipped her over so she was on her back and I was above her. I pulled my cock back, and I used a hand to line it up to her amazing pussy before thrusting it in. The blushing alien beauty below me gasped as I thrust into her, and her pussy tightened up as I pressed deeper till my hips met hers. I leaned down, kissed her beautiful, blushing lips, and pulled my hips back slowly. I didn''t roughly move and only brought my hips up and down in a slow motion sending sensitive tingling sensations throughout my body as I teased her with a slow fuck. Her moans into my mouth sent my spine tingling more, and her pussy tightened up and pulled me deeper as every inch of her internal pussy gripped me, and I didn''t want to let go. I thrust into her so slowly, feeling every inch of her insides as her pussy sucked on my cock. Her lips and tongue intertwined with mine, and the pleasure tingled in my head. My tongue explored hers, and she reciprocated with an equal measure exploring my tongue and mouth with her own. Pleasure took us both in a slow, methodical sex that made us both tingle. Our kiss broke at the moment neither of us planned as my cock thrust into her, and we both broke with a gasp. Our moans filled the room, and I pulled back on instinct as Ura gasped. ¡°Please, Please,¡± Ura moaned, ¡°Please, Fuck me harder. Please! Ravish me,¡± She begged, her voice low and sensual. I smiled, showing her my white teeth, and I leaned down, ¡°Granted, Naughty Slut,¡± I whispered in Ura¡¯s ear, and I felt her tremble and her pussy grip me hard. Her legs wrapped around my back. My hips thrust back into her and pulled out quickly, feeling her pussy move with me. I didn''t stop, and her moans filled the room as I thrust in and out of her super tight pussy; as it began to tremble on my cock. Pleasure filled my head, and I lost myself in the intimate moment with Ura as I continued to move as fast as I could, feeling her trembling pussy start to spasm. Her pussy began to orgasm and sent spine-tingling pleasure up into my head with force as I lost it. My balls throbbed, and a second later, sent semen straight into her womb. We both moaned, filling the room with our pleasure and anyone else in the crew quarters that we enjoyed each other''s bodies. Ura¡¯s arms wrapped around my neck, and we both kissed hotly. Minutes passed as we kissed with my cock deep inside her alien pussy. We kissed and kissed our tongues, dancing together as we rode out the pleasure. When the kiss broke, we both took breaths, and I smiled at Ura. ¡°Go again?¡± I asked. ¡°Mistress, Please,¡± Ura replied, and my smile turned to a grin. ¡°Your turn to work, Slut,¡± I replied and pulled out and laid down beside her. Ura got up before mounting me. It was an excellent wake-up to the game. Chapter 40: Meme Build Ura twitched as I finished inside her, and she passed out beside me. I got up, no longer sleepy, and neither was my character as I moved slowly out of bed with a long stretch. I looked back at the woman that I just finished inside and hoped couldn''t help but wonder what I would do if I started to get attached to her. She was just so damn real in this game, and that scared me a little. What happens if she dies? What happens if I have to move on from this game in order to continue to survive in real life? Both these questions weighed a little on me, and I shook my head. I gathered my things and dressed while keeping myself crouched in the tight compartment. Ensuring I had all my guns, I turned to leave before I almost hit my head on the ceiling as I did so and brought my head lower before walking, getting myself out of our crew quarter. I walked passed and climbed down the ladder, now able to stand tall. I didn''t know if everyone was asleep, but my character was hungry, and it was time to eat. I quickly started to raid the fridge for food and quickly began to cook something. It didn''t take much, and soon I had a small meal in front of me. I quickly set to work on the food and enjoyed it while thinking about what I wanted to make. I learned a lot from Oxrock. First, I underestimated the difficulty and realistic difficulty of this game. Mages were not a joke, and a simple trap would have done wonders to Oxrock. A simple mine with a laser for activation would have done wonders and many other things. I would have to come up with solutions for those who could use magic. There would be classes that could use mixed, and I was sure that Magic in the pro leagues would become a major issue. Without a doubt, I had no plans of going down the magic route, but that did not mean I couldn''t plan on people using it. Right now, I was in the Tutorial and had to adapt to a world with both Mages and technology. That meant that the logic of the world included both and could be used in all manner of technologies. That even meant my weapons could be tweaked to have enchantments, maybe. There was so much that I didn''t know and could not know this early in the game. There were many things that I needed to learn slowly, including the information in that data pad. It contained a lot of technical speak about propellent and different ways of treating chemicals for different reactions as well. Weapon design and bullet design were two important things in this world, and I couldn''t help but wonder if Nyava would also be helpful in this pursuit with knowing chemical compounds and reactions that would specifically help. Not only that, she was a potioneer that could create health potions and other helpful things that hopefully would become an income source later. Thinking of Nyava reminded me that I also needed to finish planning her punishment. The problem was coming up with a proper punishment that truly made her understand her current place. She was a woman that seemed to take what she wanted or force people to react in certain ways. Highly selfish was the best description of Nyava, and rewarding her with what she wanted was something I was not willing to do. The problem was that I could already tell she was planning for me to see that Pain was a pleasure for her. That meant there were two ways for me to react, and that was to ¡®punish¡¯ her with pleasure in a way that she did not enjoy or to retract all stimulus in that direction. Retracting all pleasure and stimulus was the harder thing to do and would come with a serious uptick of other issues as she tried to force the issue. That left the first one to make whatever pleasure she did feel completely unsatisfactory, which could also open up other problems. My mind raced, and I didn''t even realize when I finished my food. Finally, I got up and put the dishes into the dishwasher before moving to the med bay, where I saw Nyava lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. I turned, walked to my shop, and sat down, pulling out my guns. I thought about the fight with Oxrock and looked over my pistol, thinking about how little damage it did. It was a real issue for that fight, but it wasn''t useless in the end. What I needed was to increase the ammo count or the individual damage the gun caused. I put my handgun on the table, pulled out my shotgun, and sighed with the small double barrel. Another issue, even worse than my handgun, was that the double barrel was only two shots. I needed more in the circumstances, and although I could carry more weapons, it didn''t fix the problem of ammo. Two shots and dump was not a sustainable shot capacity. I couldn''t help but think back to my Call of Duty days and the pump shotgun or the auto shotgun. The four-shot auto shotgun that a mag was rotated in. These were viable alternates, but my favorite in those games when wanting to move with power and speed was the pump shotgun. I leaned back in my chair, and I couldn''t help but wonder if I could design something that could better fit my details into a smaller package. The benefit of the pump was that I didn''t need to replace a magazine, and I would have more shots than a double barrel. That didn''t remove the significant issue of the pumping time that the double barrel does not have. The double barrel can just shoot both rounds at the same time. This was great for close-distance shields and being compact while doing it. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! There lay the first significant issue. How often was I going to run into shields at point-blank range? I didn''t want to have them reach the point-blank range with the build I was chosen in this world. I wanted long and medium coverage. But not being prepared for the short and point-blank range was stupid. The fight with Oxrock was point blank in each other''s faces. My assault rifle was made for medium range, and my sniper was obviously long range. My mind blanked as I realized I was more suited to medium, Long, and point-blank range. I would have trouble aiming my pistol at short range, and my double barrel was not suited for that environment. A pump shotgun would be suitable for short range, but that was a lot of weight and commitment for something I would instead use traps to cover. My mind kept going to the build that I wanted to make, now playing this game for a couple of days in reality. I didn''t want to be a close-range battler. I wanted to be a trapper and artisan. Traps that would kill me before I had to engage in that range were where I wanted to be and planning out something different would be against what I was planning. But that wouldn''t change that having a Shotgun as a sort of trench blaster wouldn''t be remarkably useful. I felt like I was at a crossroads before I realized that I had an assault rifle that I could attach a short-range solution to. I took my assault rifle off my shoulder, looked at the gun, and saw that I could easily attach a small attachment. I could put a grenade launcher on there, which would have serious utility in many different engagements. Smoke to obscure traps? Emp grenades? Anti-Shield grenades? There were probably many solutions I could implement to my ability to fight. I tipped my chair back and realized that the grenade launcher would be better than the shotgun for utility and playing with my traps. I could even use it to activate traps that otherwise wouldn''t be activated. There were a lot of issues with each solution, but everything seemed to come back to one or two solutions. The first solution I could go with brute force and become more battle oriented, where I was the one shooting. I would pick up a pump shotgun, and I could mix the ammunition in it or the same with the twisting magazines with a shot of four different types shot out quickly. It was a brute-force solution with no finesse. Sometimes a brute-force solution was better if you had no information. The second solution was to go the way that I intended to go. Pick up or make a personalized grenade launcher for both utility and explosive. This would allow me to work on more personalized and finesse solutions that would play others into traps. If you are hiding in a corner, here is a grenade for you. You wouldn''t know if it was explosive or anything before it blew up and released its package. I could make them poison or many other things that would make enemies react to them and potentially get them killed in traps. Overall that would still leave me with the point-blank issues, but the traps and other things were to stop that. Plus, something about luring someone into a booby trap or mine sounded like a lot of fun. At this point, I felt like I was almost going for a meme build instead of a good build. Sure, some meme builds were good, but they were mostly niche and up to the player to execute them properly. It seemed as I looked at my weapons and was lost in thought everything seemed down to how confident I was of my build. The problem was that I wasn''t confident in it at all. When I had time to plan, I could take on much larger forces because of the traps. I couldn''t help but think about my first fights in this world and how luring others out went much better for me than when I was surprised. Oxrock, I didn''t lure at all. He approached me, and I had no traps ready for him. I shot him, hoping for a one-shot kill, which I didn''t get. There laid another significant problem. My aim wasn''t great, and I wasn''t always going to land that killing blow in the first shot; the one time I tried that strategy, I was almost killed. Someone else may be able to play this game with that as a strategy, but I couldn''t. So should I make my strategy a one-shot kill strategy? Oxrock told me that there were better solutions than this, as did all my earlier fights. A one-shot kill strategy would not be suitable for the pro scene too. People would make solutions to fight you, and that strategy wasn''t very flexible. Should I go with the Brute force strategy? Well, to be honest with myself, there was nothing stopping me from making some guns to help with this when I needed it. Not all the time was I going to have the information needed to adopt an approach where it was needed. Or there would be times I would not have time to set up the traps needed to fight normally. So it would make sense to come up with some sort of brute force solution in case that happened. For my main build, though? My mind centered back on making traps and explosives for it, and a thrill went through me as I thought about luring others into the traps. There was something so sadistically fun about the thought of using other people''s mindsets against them. Trapping and changing things up in a way where they would never know what I was going to do next sounded like fun. It might not work, but I still thought it was the best for me with the character that I created. Now instead of questioning my plan, I made the critical decision. This was a Tutorial, and if I failed this build in the tutorial, I would abandon it. If I passed the Tutorial with this plan, I would enter the main universe and eventually the Pro leagues with this build. That was my promise to myself so I would stop doubting this build. Now, How to build it? My smile grew confident as I started to think along these lines, and I couldn''t help but wonder more about what the game world had to offer to make it better. I pulled out a tablet, went to the shopping section, and began searching. Chapter 41: Technical Manuals I got to looking and shopping for armor. Armor was the most necessary thing that I needed in the near future. I needed two things Strength to carry things like Traps and more weapons. I knew that I would need to carry at least more equipment in the future, and the only way I could do that was with a backpack or deeper pockets. The second wasn''t as viable, but with a harness and tactical rig; I could carry a lot but limit my agility. That was the other main thing I would need is something that would allow me to continue to move fast. That was why a Backpack would be more useful than a larger tactical rig. I could dump a backpack and run away. I could also use the backpack as a trap in itself, and booby trap it. My imagination with the rig that I could set up was just much more flexible with a light armor that allowed me to move with speed and strength to move and place things quickly without being detected. The other way I could go is with medium or heavy armor making myself into a more fortress setup, but I hated the lack of my own ability to move. I thrived in the pro scene as someone who thought on their feet and would continue down that route instead of becoming stubborn. The problem was looking at these armors; there was nothing that explicitly gave stats. I read a description and could get the general feel, but not exactly what it did. ¡ª-- P0027 Exceed Series Light Armor Series. A lightweight armor from the Pro Tank Company. The Exceed series is based on fast-moving scouting combat. ¡ª- That sounded like something I might want, but I didn''t want something explicitly down the Scouting route. Sure, I was generally working in the same category as the Scouting series with my Sniper rifle, but I think my assault rifle and shotgun put me in other categories. If I was willing to dump my other weapons and just use a sniper and pistol with traps, then I think this might be the best. But that wasn''t the route that I was planning on. ¡ª- T0967 Pro Tech Light Armor Series. A lightweight armor from the Pro Tech Manufacturing Company. The Pro Tech Series Company has a long-standing with the armor of various militaries and excels in armor without being too weighed down. ¡ª- WHAT THE FUCK DID THIS MEAN! I didn''t know what the armor did or what it specialized in, and it did not help my case as I tossed my tablet on the workstation with frustration. Shopping for this without going in person seemed to be a stupid choice at the end of the day, and I sighed in frustration. For now, I would be more helpful in thinking of the ideal I wanted. A Tactical rig that focused more around my upper body and maybe even using my breasts would be for the best. Something that could hold everything above the waist with some things of utility on the belt. Not much being on the outside legs would be good as well, like backup ammunition. My legs were my ability to move in and out of situations. Running as a trapper was one of the most useful things. If you left or made them think that anything could be trapped and could kill them, they could not chase after you. That was a huge plus for keeping my mobility. Not only that but getting traps into position and finding a position to retreat to were important. No Mobility wasn''t something I was going to compromise on. So Legs must stay mobile at all costs. Strength for bringing things into the battle was another thing; I could carry things already. But I also needed some protection from stray bullets or low-caliber bullets. Even a small shield generator would go a long way to keep me alive on the battlefield. My mind was racing, but I stood up and decided that I wasn''t achieving anything in the end. I was just fantasizing, and that wasn''t getting me anywhere. For now, I would spend more time practicing my skills so that I can do a better job with these tools I use in the future or to punish Nyava. My mind gravitated to the second, and I smiled as I got up. I decided to check what Nyava was truly into. If Nyava were a pain slut then I would treat her the best that she has ever been treated. The pleasure is one hundred percent of the way. I didn''t know what I would do if she genuinely enjoyed both. I could make her jealous using Ura, and that would be fun in its own right, but Emily might feel awkward. Although a Succubus, even if she is only Half Succubus being odd around sex sounded weird even in my head. Still, Prudes were prudes, and I grew up with my mother and father, who were prudish about my sexual behavior when I was younger. Then again, I wasn''t exactly discreet about my sexuality and my Futanari Nature. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. I shook my head, moved through the ship, and quickly found Nyava sleeping in the medical bay. She seemed to take the Medical bay as a much better place to sleep instead of the crew quarters. There were only a couple of beds in here, and I found that irresponsible. Something told me, though, that it was much more about her ability to stay around the medical bay itself. Again, I had to shake my head as I looked into things too much. No, what I needed to be thinking about was her punishment. How could I do it, and what tools did I have available? Inside this starship, I had no toys or anything to inflict pain properly if I wanted to punish her, and I did not have anything to induce pleasure over a long period of time. So I would be left with my hand and my body to inflict pleasure and pain. Instantly with those thoughts, I decided the only thing I could inflict on her was emotional pain or pleasure. That precluded doing anything for now, so I started to turn away. ¡°Are you going to do anything to me, Nyah?¡± I heard a voice from behind me. ¡°Nope,¡± I replied, unsurprised as I turned back to see Nyava looking at me. ¡°You were watching me for a bit,¡± Nyava commented, ¡°Thinking of fun ways of punishing me?¡± She asked with her voice turning lustful. ¡°Yes, I was,¡± I told her, then I grinned, stepping towards her, and I could see the anticipation. ¡°But not today, Nyava. Do something useful first; maybe you can get what you want.¡± I told her as I suddenly stopped a foot away from her. ¡°I think I have a punishment for you ready. But not today; I think you will hate it with every fiber of your being,¡± I said with a large grin. I could see Nyava shudder in anticipation as she looked at me. ¡°I look forward to it,¡± Nyava said. ¡°Now that being all said, when are we going to hit planetside?¡± She asked, ¡°I have no supplies or equipment to start some potions and synthesize anything. I could not even do a small antidote or antibacterial pill. When can I get some supplies?¡± Nyava turned more business minded. ¡°Ask Ura, She is the captain, and I am the muscle,¡± I told her flatly, ¡°You can study some texts if you want and ask Ura about some costs for anatomy. Enjoy!¡± I said, departing as she looked ready to continue. I walked back into my cabin and closed the door. Instead, I went to work learning more about my tools and practicing them. There was so much to learn, and I wondered if I would ever be able to customize some armor. I took my time, and soon bits of metal were being wielded together, and I wondered how I would structure my traps in the future. Something told me to go down the route of explosives. Explosives were an easy route in competitions, and I could already picture Bouncing betties and Claymores. The problem with all traps, though, was the triggers, and that was where I started to get curious. Traps were inherently friendly fire problems. If this game was structured with a hardcore realism factor, then it was just as able to kill a teammate then it was to kill an enemy. The only difference was that I would be able to notify my allies beforehand, while my enemies would not potentially have that information. There were more problems too. What could armor sensors detect, and how much damage could conventional traps do? I found myself wishing for a research lab with a variety of equipment and explosives to test with. Grenades would become an easy friend with high versatility. My mind traveled back to my assault rifle and the Grenade launcher, and I couldn''t help but think a dedicated Grenade launcher would be useful as well. Something that could at least hold six grenades would be extremely helpful in a defensive situation. My mind raced with different things as I messed up another wield. I was either taking too long, too short of a time, or too much material. It was those three things, and I found myself frowning as I continued to mess up more spare parts. Before I tossed it all, I moved on to drilling, or I believed the term was boring, and found myself doing it well. Well, how hard was it to make a damn hole? I put down my tools after a bit, and I started to notice a problem I was having practicing my skill sets. I didn''t know what was more important than other things. I was almost tempted to take on some debt in real life to learn some precision machining skills. The problem with that was that the tools would be larger and not what was in-game. Instead, I pulled out my tablet and started to surf the galactic web. Something here had to teach me some tools, and I looked up manuals and smiled brightly. I quickly purchased a book that I found for only five hundred Credits. ¡ª--- You have purchased the Online Technical Manual Beginning of Precision Machining. This is a book that goes over the basics and the terms you will need to learn in precision machining. ¡ª I quickly found another book and smiled as I purchased that for another five hundred Credits. ¡ª- You have purchased the Online Technical Manual, Beginning Guide to Gun Manufacturing. This is an introductory book for manually manufactured Guns. ¡ª I instantly started to get to work, and I found myself quickly learning that I had been way in over my head. This was just starting to build a general base of knowledge in crafting, and I felt a small thrill. The crafting system in this game was borderline insane and interesting. The freedom was lifelike, and I wanted to learn more. I quickly put my nose to the tablet and began to learn the definitions and the things I needed to learn. I quickly learned what happened with the Junk shotgun and why it would bust if it was shot. The game helped a lot with these things, and I found myself thinking about how to do things that I never thought of before. Maybe some more technical manuals were coming my way. Thought of Punishing Nyava disappeared into the back of my head, and my mind entered a new world of gun manufacturing. I couldn''t help but realize how much I already loved the subject. The definitions were a little boring, but the general information wasn''t. Chapter 42: Punishment I lost myself in learning and defining a lot of what I had been doing wrong, and I found the technical manuals very interesting. A quick notification made me smile as I continued to read and learn, and the manuals taught me a couple of better ways for me to do what I had already been trying to be doing. There were so many small mistakes, like the angles I was working at when welding. Learning in this game seemed to be interesting, and when I tried to weld, they looked much cleaner and used less material. That was only the start, and I was about to get more into it when I heard a knock on the door. I looked up and turned to the door to see Ura in her tight jumpsuit looking at me with a smile. ¡°You look like you were about to start something, but Lunch is ready, and you should probably eat,¡± Ura noted, and I looked at my food bar and noticed that I was hungry. ¡°You are right,¡± I replied with a wry smile, ¡°I picked up some technical manuals, and I wanted to try some stuff out. I lack formal training, so learning from Technical manuals helps a lot. Soon I can start to get into making custom parts, and I want to start right.¡± I told her as I stood up. ¡°Very well,¡± Ura said, looking me up and down, ¡°You want to have some fun later?¡± Ura asked, ¡°I don''t really have anything to do at the moment,¡± Ura let her voice trail off, and I smiled brightly, ¡°Oh, Yes, I would love to.¡± I replied with a lecherous smile, ¡°Wondering if you would like to join in a game to play with one of our new slaves?¡± I asked. ¡°You have a game you want to play with them?¡± Ura asked, her expression puzzled now. I smiled in reply, and I tilted her head and said, ¡°Remember the other day when Nyava drugged me?¡± I asked, and Ura nodded but was uncomprehending. ¡°I have a punishment in mind, and I wonder if you would like to watch and join in?¡± I followed up. Ura nodded, ¡°Sure, are you sure you won''t be going overboard?¡± She asked, ¡°I don''t want to bloody the waters.¡± The clarification there was important, and I smiled. ¡°She wants to be punished, and I want her to fear punishments. If I fail, I will come up with something different. We need to settle a reward and punishment scheme with her, and I want her never to do that shit again. I believe I have a plan, and you can enhance that while we both enjoy each other as well,¡± I finished with a smile. ¡°Fine, I don''t mind being seen,¡± Ura said with a confident smile, ¡°My body is great, and showing it off has never been an issue for me.¡± I looked her up and down, and I couldn''t help but smile, ¡°Fuck yeah, you look amazing in that Jumpsuit still. I love almost seeing you naked every time I look at you in it. Gets me all hard and wanting to see what is underneath,¡± My unfiltered thoughts leaked out without me realizing it, and Ura blushed a cute purple as she looked down at herself. ¡°Lunchtime,¡± Ura said, turning away shyly, and my cock was suddenly hard in my leather pants. ¡°I am sure that after eating, we can enjoy ourselves to the detriment of someone else, too,¡± I said, following her out of my workshop and into the crew quarters. I moved to wash my hands of the grease that accumulated on my hands, and I noticed Emily already eating with a worried look. Her fear of the ship falling apart seemed to be accurate, and it was good that we purchased her before we continued from cargo to cargo. Nyava, on the other hand, was busy looking at my pants, and I saw her tongue lick out against her lips, trying to tempt me. I looked at her and said, ¡°After Lunch, I will punish you, Nyava. Do you have anything on the go that is time sensitive?¡± I asked. Emily was blushing now and looked away; that slight fear from her face was gone, and I wondered a bit about Emily in the back of my head as I moved to sit down after cleaning up. I sat down and started to eat, and Nyava looked at me with a smile. ¡°Without the proper ingredients, I am currently unable to do anything time-sensitive. I am currently looking through the literature related to the Rish¡¯an Loktor. It is not a very widely studied species, to be honest.¡± Nyava said as she ate with a smile, ¡°Your Species becoming a grifter species is very disheartening. Your lightly studied sensitivity is something of a phenomenon in medical society. The fact that when your Species was invaded, most of the weapons manufacturing was still done by hand on mass was something that no other species ever did. Some parts were mass manufactured, and your Species had the technology to create factories for everything else. But guns,¡± Nyava shook her head, ¡°All members of your species would create a gun in elementary school, and a properly educated Rish¡¯an would have what amounts to a master in firearms that most militaries had over a thousand years ago by the time your species was invaded. With that in mind, the conquering species lost a disproportionate amount of military force trying to take even the remote areas of the planet. Literally, every man, woman, and child carried more than a modern soldier would carry in firearms. They also could use those firearms better than most planetary militaries can these days. It is an example of a species with a very special disposition.¡± Nyava shook her head, ¡°I have found myself looking into the history of your people and medical history and found myself incredibly fascinated.¡± Nyava said as she ate. I had no idea when she was chewing in between talking. ¡°Still, The lack of wars after your species discovered firearms was marked as well. I think it has to do with the fact that each member of every family had a gun and was trained to use it, making it useless to conquer those that didn''t want to be occupied.¡± Nyava sighed and shook her head, ¡°What a costly idea conquesting territory that sounds like. Still, I am learning a lot about your body or that of your species. Lack of literature involved with it as your species'' libraries were destroyed in the war for your planet.¡± ¡°Fair enough,¡± I said to limit the onslaught of words Nyava sent me for a simple question. Her tongue would move a lot for a small question, and that was something that would never be solved. I wondered if I deprived her of the ability to talk if that would be a suitable punishment. Something told me that she was perfectly happy to work in silence just as much as she was willing to talk your ear off for hours on something that she was interested in. Maybe I could force her to talk about things she found boring for hours. Give her a book with nothing interesting about it and make a book report on it that was a hundred or so pages long. I shuddered and threw that punishment out of my head unless I was desperate. I turned to look at my food, and I already ate half of it, and it was actually really good. I wasn''t sure who cooked, but I was more willing to guess Ura or Emily of Nyava. I quickly dug into my food, and Nyava glanced over at me as I finished. Nyava finished her food just as quickly, and Ura smiled as she realized that fun times were about to be had. We all finished our food just a little after Emily, who started before us. ¡°Enjoy yourselves,¡± Emily said, her voice a little annoyed as she walked away with slightly pink cheeks as she walked away. She seemed to want to find herself somewhere else on the ship as it slipped through space. I didn''t mind, but I knew that the tone in her voice was jealous that she was being left out, and I realized that I would need to have a conversation with Emily later. Still, I didn''t like that this was starting to become some type of Harem scenario if what I thought was true. I was a Pansexual or Bisexual, and I wasn''t about to change that. If I were to have a Harem, I would also need some cute boys to have their way with me. That would never change, and I was a Switch with a preference towards being a top. I needed to lose that control from time to time, and it would suck being the top all the time. My mind went a little wild for a moment, and I turned to Nyava and Ura. ¡°Medical Bay,¡± I said, getting up, ¡°We will have fun there, not to disturb Emily.¡± I said and turned to Nyava, ¡°And to allow you to remember this for a while,¡± I told her as I walked over to the Medical bay. Nyava¡¯s tail started to swing back and forth quickly as her excitement built, and she, for once, didn''t say anything. Ura followed in silence with a slight blush as the three of us went to the medical bay, and we closed the door behind us. I was already over to the ¡®storage¡¯ area for slaves and picked up an item Ura learned about when I first arrived on this ship. It was the shackles that were meant for storing any slaves in this room, and I picked up four sets that were in the room, and I walked out with them in hand and smiled at Nyava. I could see the excitement build as she realized she was about to be punished, and I spun one in the air lightly before walking over to her. ¡°You wanted a punishment, and I cannot rightfully forget what you did to me Nyava. You want a punishment, you little Masochistic slut. You are a little pain slut that gets off on the pain, and I couldn''t help but wonder what would be an actual punishment, so I got a nice helper for me today. Nyava started to frown, but her tail swayed in excitement as I closed the distance and looked her up and down, grabbing a breast. ¡°These clothes,¡± I said, looking at her stained medical jacket from the slaver sure and the beaten up rags under it were crap that came from the Slavers. We would change that at the next destination as I didn''t have a change of clothes either other than the lingerie that I hadn''t seen that Ura picked up. ¡°Lose them, Bitch,¡± I snapped, and Nyava lost the jacket and the shirt quickly. Her pants came a second later, and I looked at her Cat body with objectivity as she revealed it. Starting from the top, Nyava had long wavy hair with two triangle ears with white fur in the center. Her extremely cute face was covering up the scientist below as you moved down, and the jacket being lost with the rags showed a nice pair of Double D cup breasts with cute little cherry nipples that were larger than normal. They stuck out more than an inch, and I found them a little appetizing. The things longer nipples allowed were fun in BDSM, and I couldn''t help but lick my lips looking at them. Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. Moving down from her breasts, her stomach was toned slightly with the starting of her abs, like she took the time to work out regularly. Her hips moved out a little, but she did not have thick thighs or very wide hips but still had that hourglass figure with a tight-looking heart-shaped ass with a long black tail just above it. When those thighs got together and pressed against each other, you could still see the slit of her pussy when she did it, and I could see it already glistening with juices as I looked at her. Looking down at her limbs, I looked at her arms and noticed something that was the big difference between our races. Fur coated her arms thickly up to the elbow and a little beyond up her arm. I could see it was short, as Nyava clearly shaved it down or kept it short. The same was for her legs, but she left this fur longer by a couple of inches and stopped at the bottom of her thighs. It looked very much like a Hentai watcher wet dream, and my cock was throbbing in my leather pants. Nyava¡¯s tail was wagging harder, and I noticed another difference between our races as my tail was thinner than hers and had more utility as I felt I could control it more. I didn''t want to get too deep into that, though, as I finished looking her over and grinned. ¡°Have a gynecological chair in here?¡± I asked. ¡°Nyah!¡± Nyava exclaimed in excitement and moved and pressed a button, and one of the beds moved up and laid flat against the bulkhead of the medical bay. ¡°Very well set up for a small medical bay! I can help you with any,¡± I put up a hand, stopping her. ¡°Shut up and sit in it. Punishment will come soon once you are sitting in it,¡± I told her flatly, and her tail started to move even faster. I could see her emotions in her tail, and she moved quickly and sat in the chair, and she grinned as I started to bind her to the arms of the chair. ¡°Oh, god, I love bondage play too! Please, Mistress,¡± Nyava moaned. ¡°Maybe if you were a good Kitty,¡± I said as I finished the last binding, ¡°Instead, you are going to be punished, little kitty,¡± I told her as I pulled shackles a little, checking to see if they were tight. Her tail swished a little under her, and I wondered if that had a utility again. ¡°I look forward to your Punishment, Mistress,¡± Nyava replied, and I could see a blush on her face growing now, and I smiled as I started to strip myself. I didn''t take long, and I grinned as I motioned to Ura to do the same. ¡°Do you know why Ura is here, Nyava?¡± I asked. Nyava frowned and looked at Ura, ¡°Threesomes are always fun!¡± She said, and I felt that when it came to sex, she was a little naive, and I tilted my head. ¡°Ura, Is my assistant and will be enjoying herself in this room in the coming time. Only you will be punished, as Ura is amazing,¡± I told her. Ura¡¯s massive breasts came out, and I was drawn to them with a smile. I looked over at Nyava as I pressed her little purple nipples, and I saw Nyava starting to frown in question. ¡°To start,¡± I said, taking Ura¡¯s nipple into my mouth and sucking hard while my hand slipped down to her pussy, and I felt her pussy dripping. ¡°You will watch us enjoy ourselves,¡± I told her bluntly. ¡°NOT FAIR I ASKED FOR IT!¡± Nyava complained, and I heard Ura moan. ¡°You asked for a punishment,¡± I told her as I straightened up. Ura smiled, and I pushed her down toward my cock, which was now throbbing, and she took it into her mouth and began to send shivers up my spine as she took my cock in her mouth and started sucking. It was pleasurable to feel, and I moaned in a deep throaty moan that sounded out how pleasurable it was for me. But I knew that wasn''t what Nyava wanted to see. Or not what Nyava didn''t want to see because it wasn''t being done to her. I grabbed Ura¡¯s head, grabbed her by the hair, and made her look me in the eyes, ¡°I am going to be rough,¡± I told her, and my hips thrust into the back of her throat without another warning. Ura took it like a champ as my balls hit her chin, and her throat tightened up on my cock, and Nyava let out a little moan that she instantly covered up. I didn''t look in her direction as I started to fuck Ura¡¯s throat hard and left her no space to breathe as I took her throat hard and fast. The slap on my hips and the loud sound of slobber all over my cock as Ura took my thick cock hard in her throat sounded throughout the room, and I felt her choking on my cock. ¡°Okay, I get it, Fuck me like that, Mistress!¡± Nyava suddenly said, and I looked at her as I choked Ura with my cock without breaking. I let her see even better with a little turn how my cock penetrated Ura¡¯s mouth and how Ura was now struggling as my cock thrust in and out of her throat in a hard fuck. I moaned. Ura choked before I released my first load this afternoon, and Ura gagged and choked on my ejaculating cock, and my semen spilled out the sides of her mouth as I continued to fuck her face. ¡°Please, Just like that, Harder even. Choke me fuck me, please!¡± Nyava begged, and I could see her pussy already dripping, and I realized quickly what this woman was. No, I decided as my head blanked, and I pulled out, making Ura cough my semen all over the floor as she struggled to get ahold of herself. I moved around as she coughed while still on her knees and ended up behind Ura as her pussy dripped those pink fluids showing me how horny she was. I leaned forward, whispering, ¡°Im about to fuck you, Ura,¡± I told her and lined my cock up as she continued to cough semen from her airways, and my cock thrust deep inside of her. Ura¡¯s eyes widened, and she cried out in pleasure as my hips slapped heavily against her ass. I moved a little to the side and used my foot as I started to fuck her at an awkward angle to increase the humiliation of the fuck. My foot pressed her face into the pile of semen, and Nyava¡¯s breath hitched, and I wondered if she was really as easy to read as she was making it. I made Ura¡¯s ass tilt toward me as I shoved my cock in and out of her without restraint. I pressed and rubbed her head hard against the medical bay floor as she moaned, ¡°Oh, Fuck you''re so big!¡± Ura cried out, her pussy sucking and squeezing me in every direction. Her alien pussy was something to go down in the ages as I fucked her harder and harder as Nyava started to beg. ¡°Please, Harder than that! Spank me as you do it. Please! I will do anything. Don''t make me just watch! You are going to do me next, right?!¡± Nyava seemingly instantly broke as her pussy was literally already starting a small clear puddle below her as her pussy gushed. I Thrust my cock hard and fast into my Ura as she cried out, making Nyava even more jealous, and I loved the idea that came up in my thoughts as I started to spank Ura¡¯s ass, making her scream out, ¡°Mistress, Mistress, Fuck me harder and give Nyava none of it!¡± Ura cried, not only in character but loving this moment as I pressed her face hard against the floor as I fucked her tight pussy. I felt her tighten and tremble as we both reached another peak, and I grinned. My hand came down hard on Ura¡¯s fantastic ass, and she cried out, and her pussy gushed as I released another load into her. We both moaned, and my thrusts turned small and slow, riding out another orgasm. ¡°My turn! Mistress me next!¡± Nyava begged as she watched me release a load into Ura, and I turned my attention as I finished releasing a load into Ura, and I stood. ¡ª- Trait unlocked: Sadism. Sadistic thoughts fuel some of your actions, and Masochists will find your actions more charming. ¡ª- The notification surprised me only a little as I looked at the puddle of pussy juices coming from Nyava, and I stood before her and said, ¡°Ura, Tease my pussy while I give Nyava here some attention.¡± ¡°Yes, Mistress,¡± Ura said, getting up. I didn''t pay her any attention even as the sudden electrical spark of pleasure erupted as I felt her tongue start licking my cunt from behind. I felt her hair tickling my thighs as she reached deep, and I moaned as she got to work on my clit no matter how hard it was for her to reach as I stood with my legs spread before Nyava. Nyava groaned as she watched, and I could see the jealousy in her eyes as she wished she was Ura. ¡°Some attention, right? Anything I want?¡± I asked. ¡°Anything! Please, Sorry for before! If this is the punishment, I won''t do that again! I just wanted to know what type of person you were. I didn''t mean anything behind it, and it was like a treasure chest to learn that you were a sadist. I love pain and pleasure. Please! Anything!¡± Nyava said as she pressed against her restraints. I smirked, and my finger moved to her pussy which was dripping fluids quickly, almost like a broken facet. I pressed my fingers against it, and she moaned loudly. ¡°No orgasms,¡± I told her, and my fingers pushed deep as Nyava¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°NYAH! PLEASE!¡± Nyava said, and her pussy trembled. I pulled my two fingers out only to thrust in again and spread them out as I pulled them back, and I felt her pussy tremble harder in those two thrusts along with her legs. ¡°Please, Let me Cum, Mistress! I am so near!¡± I pulled my fingers out and licked them tasting her pussy as Nyava¡¯s body slammed back down into the chair. ¡°No, Please!¡±Nyava suddenly begged, ¡°More, More!¡± Nyava begged, and I shook my head. ¡°You broke my trust, Nyava,¡± I told her as Ura was working my clit hard, and I moaned, ¡°No Cumming for you today. You only get to watch Ura cum again and again as I fuck her hard.¡± I told her what her punishment was, ¡°You will get nothing more than what I did just now,¡± I told her, and Ura started to work my cock with a hand as I felt her sucking on my clit harder, and the duality hit me hard and I moaned hard with a small orgasm as my legs trembled. Nyava looked at me with fear, ¡°No, No, Nyava will be good from now on, please!¡± She complained, and I shook my head. ¡°This is your punishment, and if you are good and watch in silence from now on, I will play with you later.¡± I told her, ¡°No more begging from now on. Only watch and realize what you are missing out on as I fuck Ura,¡± I smiled as I pulled Ura by the hair back, and I could see the slight fear in her eyes at the punishment Nyava was suffering as Nyava shut up instantly her eyes wide and tears started well up in her eyes. ¡°Show her what it''s like taking my cock without touching her,¡± I told Ura. Ura positioned herself to look directly into Nyava¡¯s eyes with her legs spread to almost make Nyava almost feel like she was the one being fucked while I fucked Ura. I thrust my cock into Ura, and pleasure blossomed in my head as my sadistic mind went to work, and a new notification popped up. ¡ª- New Trait unlocked: Slave Trainer Find a Slaves weakness and break them with it, only with the most ruthless abandon. ¡ª Nyava, by the time I was finished, did not make a noise as she watched Ura take my cock for hours. Chapter 43: Sexual Gratification Nyava really did not like being jealous, and the pool formed a larger-than-normal puddle under the chair. Her expression was one of pure torture that she had to watch without masturbating or the ability to join in. The few seconds of my fingers only made it worse for her, and I established that I was so sadistic that she didn''t want to piss me off deliberately. I couldn''t help but smile as I thought about it, and when I was done, Ura was smiling, and I promised when I released the messy Nyava, who had started to cry from desperation for pleasure, to give her attention tomorrow. Nyava was unhappy from the lack of attention, but I shook my head and told her that Naughty cats would not have any pleasure that day. If she wanted to enjoy my attention the next day, she would need to go to bed desperate for my touch. She didn''t like it, but she fucking drugged me with a truths serum, and the punishment, in my opinion, was already too lax. I promised her that if she did something similar in the future, I would make the punishment thirty days without the ability to touch herself. Her expression blanked, and she looked at me with fear but a little awe. Nyava was a little more silent at dinner, but I went to bed with a very spent Ura and signed out without further incident. Stretching and getting out of my pod, I noticed I had been in the pod for four hours, and I was sweating a little more than normal. I felt a lot more refreshed, but my dick was still hard, and I sighed as I walked to the shower and I thought about Nyava. I had two hours, and I would be drilling her hard to ¡®reward¡¯ her for taking her punishment. I was extremely relieved that her punishment was easier than I thought. I stopped just before getting in the shower as I heard my stomach grumble, and I didn''t want to cook. Instead, I turned back to my desk and retrieved my phone. I noticed a missed phone call from that delivery driver, followed by a text, and I smiled. Men who like taking it like that from women were always addicted to a real woman taking their ass without restraint. I decided to ignore it and went to the shower with a throbbing erection as I thought of Ura. God, that woman was hot and a bit of a masochist. Ura would not top me, it seemed, but she was also much more willing to take some control when left unattended to. It would be interesting to see how she develops more. My mind was on her hot Alien pussy as it gripped every part of my cock like a vise and sucked it all over. My cock throbbed as I thought of it, and I moaned in the shower as the sweat slipped down the shower drain. I barely even registered that I was in the shower, let alone turned it on, when I started to stroke my hard cock slowly as I thought of her pussy. My hand glided up and down in the water giving lackluster pleasure compared to such an alien pussy. The Fact that Gabin Corporation even allowed us to have sexual activities with NPCs was amazing in itself. Galaxy Online was an eighteen-plus mature game, so they probably didn''t mind adding it in. My mind was full of Ura, though, as I lost myself for a couple of moments stroking my cock when the doorbell rang. My mind blanked for a moment looking out of my shower, and I growled. I got out and grabbed a towel hating that my time alone had been disturbed even if I was the one who ordered the food. I grabbed a robe that I had in case of such emergencies, and I put in a knot before walking to the door and opening it up. My surprise was complete as I saw a familiar face holding the food bag. I smiled a second later as I realized that a very convenient outlet had arrived, and I stepped to the side and opened the door wider. ¡°Did I disturb your shower,¡± The delivery driver from before asked, his voice clearly trying to break the ice a little? ¡°If you are coming in, then put the food down on the counter, take off your pants, and get ready to be fucked like a sissy bitch. Or hand me my food. I am not in the mood to be a gentleman,¡± I said, my voice taking no nonsense. I walked back inside, went towards the bedroom, and called out, ¡°Leave the food and close the door if you are not coming in, Sissy,¡± I said, no longer caring. No, I cared; my cock was hard, and it was much more convenient to use a soft sissy man that was here without his wife again. I was sure that he was wondering if he could come in, and as I reached the bedroom to grab a condom, I heard the door close. I peeked over my shoulder and smiled as he walked in, bringing in the food bag with a deep blush on his face. ¡°I didn''t know they delivered sissy bitches too. Does your wife know?¡± I asked as I picked up a condom and lube before walking back out. His pants were already slipped down, and he took off his shirt as well, putting it on the counter to the side along with his pants as he blushed. ¡°Yes, She knows,¡± He said, his blush deepening. ¡°She wants to meet you soon. I called you earlier to schedule something when,¡± He coughed, ¡°When I got your order and thought I could just come to see you,¡± He finished. ¡°I am Mistress,¡± I told him as I walked around and looked at his body. I looked at his soft chest and slightly played with his nipple, making him moan. ¡°Your wife has done well playing and getting it ready for me. I wonder if she will please this Mistress later when I have more time. Are you available tonight?¡± I asked, ¡°Maybe something we can film?¡± The delivery driver''s breath hitched, and he moaned, ¡°I will ask her, Mistress,¡± The driver said, and I smiled. ¡°You will be Sissy from now on till I meet your wife, I will not call you anything else, and I will punish you if you call me anything else,¡± I told him. ¡°Yes, Mistress,¡± Sissy replied, and I smiled and ripped open the condom in my hands and opened my robe as I stood behind him. My robe fell to the floor, and my cock twitched in anticipation. I used the lube plenty all over my cock, and the Sissy spread his legs as he put his hands on the kitchen counter as lined my cock up with his sissy asshole. His cock throbbed, and I wondered if I could make him cum without my hand. How far had his wife trained this sissy? My cock was throbbing, and I pushed in, making the Sissy moan loudly, ¡°Mistress~!¡± His moan was feminine, and I felt his swollen prostate, but this was for me and not him, and I pushed into it, making sure I felt it against the head of my cock as I pressed my ten-inch cock deep into him. ¡°Your so huge, Mistress~!¡± He moaned as I slowly pushed inside him till I was balls deep and pressed my hips against his asscheeks. The sissies ass tightened up on my cock as I pulled back, and pleasure tingled up my spine as he gripped me tightly. I pulled back, so I felt my cock scrape his swollen prostate, and I pushed right back in, hitting it again, making him moan, and I leaned forward, grabbing his chest and pulling him back, feeling his back against my breasts and nipples. I played with his nipples and pushed back in, moving my hips separately from my hands as I started to play with his sensitive little nipples. As the sissy bitch started to moan, loader and his asshole tightened up even more on me. ¡°Cum without any hands on your cock, and I will see your Wife and you tonight, Sissy,¡± I told him, my voice laced with pleasure. I leaned back and brought him with me as I played with his nipples; his ass tightened as I continued to do so, and his moan filled my kitchen. ¡°Yes, Mistress, Please, Make me cum!¡± Sissy cried suddenly as his ass tightened more. That was it, and I pulled out of him suddenly after letting go of his nipples, spun him around, pushed him against the kitchen counter, and pulled at his legs. Sissy instantly understood and leaned back and showed me his twitching ass hole with his legs up in the air. I pulled him a bit closer and lined my cock up with his ass, and shoved my cock in deep, hitting his swollen prostate as I did so. His moan filled the room, and my cock throbbed. I no longer wanted to wait and had little time for it before I was needed back online in the game. I thrust into him, pulled out just as quickly as I found his prostate, and started to thrust into it quickly, making him moan. ¡°Mistress, Mistress! That, there! Fuck~! FUCK~!¡± Sissy¡¯s feminine voice filled the room as I started to blast his prostate and watched his hard cock throb on his stomach, twitching with each thrust into him. ¡°Ah~! AH~! FUCK ME~!¡± he cried out, his voice egging me on, and I continued even as the pleasure brought me to the edge; his cock and balls were throbbing, and I held back the feeling of wanting to hit him. ¡°Oh~! Oh~! CUMMING~! CUMMING MISTRESS~!¡± Sissy suddenly shouted, and I thrust deep inside of him as I watched his balls thrust up and felt his prostate throb as his ass spasmed all over my cock. I continued thrusting into him as the first rope of semen hit his stomach and a little on his face and chest, followed by another just as quickly. His spasming ass brought me to the edge, and by the time I thrust into him again, his spasming ass sent me over the edge milking my cum out of my cock, and I sent my first rope into him, making him moan even louder as he felt the condom expand inside of him. Our voices joined together, and I felt Sissy¡¯s body tremble as he finished cumming, and I did so a moment later with a large sigh. Pulling out a moment later, I sighed once again with the release of pleasure and looked over the Sissy. He was cute, and I wouldn''t mind having him over again tonight. ¡°Sissy, Your wife and you will come over tonight when I text. If not,¡± I turned, walked over to the sink, wet some paper towel, and tossed it at him. ¡°Clean up and go, Sissy. I am finished with your Sissy ass for now, and Mistress is busy. Go home and tell your wife or wait till later.¡± My words came out harsh, and he blushed. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. ¡°Y- Yes, Mistress,¡± He said, getting off the counter, taking the paper towel, and cleaning himself up while I took the food bag and started pulling out my lunch as he got dressed. I started to eat and noticed that I had only an hour, and I wondered where all the time had gone. The Sissy left a minute later, and I looked down at my cock dripping with cum on it and decided I would shower quickly again, this time focusing on cleaning up instead of gratification. I moved quickly, put my food at my desk, half ran to my shower, and started cleaning up. With a bit of body wash and vaginal cleaning cream as I cleaned up and I would be much better for tonight and walked back to my bedroom. I got dressed up in a crop top that showed off my midriff and my green yoga pants. I sat down and ate and pulled up some more gun videos. This time I focused on people explaining parts and how they interacted. Very interesting, and I finished my food early. I watched for a little longer, looking at how the Automatic firing and Burst modes were different, before looking at the time and getting up. I enjoyed the video and walked to the pod, and got in. When the lid finished closing, I was back into the wonderful world of Galaxy Online, and I felt soft skin in my arms. I moved slowly, and Ura moaned as I had done an actual number on her last night, and I couldn''t help but smile. It was nice to experience some release, and I had a target today. But First, I crawled out of Ura¡¯s and my bed. I geared up and walked out of our room, and climbed down the ladder. Making my way to the medical bay, I noticed Nyava and grinned as I stood in the entryway. She was sleeping in the medical bay again, and her tail was unmoving. Instead of moving toward her and giving her a reward, though, I started doing the one thing I had been neglecting recently and doing push-ups. Push-ups moved to squats, then burpees which tested my limit. I watched Nyava¡¯s tail slowly start to move, and I could see her impatience from the movement of her tail, and slowly I noticed her moan. ¡°Mmmm,¡± Nyava moaned and started to strip herself to make herself look more appetizing. Still, I continued my workout, and my legs started to get more sore before I stopped and closed the medical bay dripping with sweat. I tossed aside my clothes, and I leaned down to her ear. ¡°You have ten seconds to get off that bed and start sucking my cock bitch before I turn around, pick up my clothes, and leave you with nothing again,¡± I said, my voice dark and barely above a whisper. Nyava¡¯s tail went straight up along her spine, and she was off the bed and stripped the rest of her clothes. She was kneeling a second later with her big eyes looking up at me, desperate. ¡°Please, Nyava wants Mistress¡¯s cock!¡± Nyava cried out, and I winced at the third-person reference. Nyava didn''t wait, and I watched as her incredibly cute mouth opened up, and her tongue, a little flat, took my cock into her mouth. Her tongue was unique and longer than I expected as it took my ten-inch cock into her mouth but not as deep as she could. First, she pleasured the underside of my cock, licking slowly and sending shivers of pleasure through it. She pulled out and looked up at me, ¡°Mistress, Please, Treat me roughly and as you want. I love it when you take charge and spark my nerves. Please handle me without a care for my well-being,¡± She said; her cute face contrasted the dark words she just said, her ears twitched a little, and her tail swung back and forth in excitement, and I grinned. ¡°Very well, Your body is mine till I am satisfied,¡± I told her, ¡°Open your Stupid slut mouth,¡± I said, and she smiled only for a moment. ¡°Ah~!¡± She called out with her mouth open before I shoved my cock in deep and grabbed her head in, shoving it deep into her throat pussy making her gag. I felt her throat tighten and her gag on my cock before I pulled out and shoved it back in as if I was fucking a masturbation cup. I thrust my cock in and out hard. The pleasure as I took her tightening throat was amazing, and I pulled out and slapped her hard, treating her like an object. A small handprint of my palm appeared on her face, and she looked up at me with surprise and adoration as she coughed on her spit. Nyava looked even more excited than before, and I grabbed her by the throat and pulled her up to her feet. ¡°My cock is lubed up slut; present your pussy, Bitch,¡± I snapped, and my cock throbbed as she stumbled and her pussy squirted a little. My hand came down hard on her ass a second later, and she cried out, and my other hand came down with force. ¡°Mistress~!¡± Nyava cried out and stepped up behind her as she finished spreading her legs, and my hand came down hard on her ass cheek, and I grabbed her tail. I pulled hard on it, ¡°NYAH!¡± Nyava suddenly cried out, her body trembling, and I pulled it hard, ¡°AH~!¡± She moaned, and her body trembled more, ¡°My Tail~! It''s SENSITIVE~!¡± She screamed out, and I shoved it forward, and my cock throbbed as her pussy gushed and drenched her legs. My hand came down on her ass hard. ¡°Count slut, or it stops,¡± I told her, my voice dark with lust and power. My hand came down, ¡°One~!¡± Nyava moaned out, ¡°Two~!¡± A moment later and my hand didn''t stop as my cock throbbed. It had been a long time since I had dominated someone so hard, and my feelings were out of control as my hand hit her perky ass over and over; as I held her tail, her pussy gushed more as she moaned and screamed out the number as her ass got redder and redder. ¡°Twenty~! MISTRESS CUMMING~!¡± Nyava screamed out, and my hand came down on her ass as her pussy gushed; I turned into the line of fire and quickly lined my cock up with her pussy. I shoved my cock in deep as her pussy spasmed all over my cock, and Nyava screamed out, ¡°TWENTY-ONE ~! MISTRESS, MY PUSSY~! CUMMING AGAIN~!¡± She screamed out, ¡°MY NERVOUS SYSTEM IS GOING INSANE~!¡± She screamed out, and I started to jerk her tail up and down without restraint unknowing the pleasure or pain she felt as my cock shoved in and out of her tight spasming cunt. I didn''t know what type of pussy it was as my cock glided in and out despite how tight it was. Nyava was gushing so many fluids that it was ridiculous, and I felt the pleasure hitting my peak as my hand came down on her ass hard again, just before my hips slapped her ass. ¡°TWENTY~! TWO~!¡± Nyava cried out, her pussy spasmed again, and her body trembled visibly as I reached a peak, and I released a load into her pussy without the ability to even pull out in the second as I suddenly peaked. I moaned as Nyava screamed, and I pulled out, releasing seed all over her back a moment later. I looked at Nyava and wondered if I should continue, and my cock throbbed. I grabbed one hip and flipped her over, and Nyava had tears in her eyes, and her pussy was now dripping with my semen as she was in orgasm bliss. I wasn''t done, though, and I grabbed her perky breast and pulled. ¡°EEEK!¡± Nyava was suddenly awakened with fresh pain, and I slapped her other breast. ¡°EEEK!¡± She cried again in fresh pain as she looked at me with fresh surprise. ¡°More?¡± Nyava asked. ¡°You haven''t satisfied my cock yet,¡± I told her, my voice dark, ¡°What made you think I was a one-and-done type of girl? You are just lucky I don''t have toys and whips to assist me.¡± Nyava shuddered, but excitement grew on her face, ¡°Mistress, I will be a good girl, so punish me at least once a week?¡± She asked, her legs still trembling in remembered orgasm. ¡°Depends on how good you are at your job and how happy you make me,¡± I told her with a growl. I stepped up and lined my cock up with her pussy again, and her body shuddered, and her pussy trembled as I thrust all ten inches in. ¡°Oh, and I hate suck-ups,¡± I told her and began again. Her body trembled, and her moans filled the room. I hit that cervix hard, and I teased it with the tip of my cock as she shuddered while I pulled on her nipples, stopping her from lying down on the bed. ¡°No hands, Bitch,¡± I ordered, stopping her from using her hands to decrease the pain, and Nyava was crying out as I twisted her nipples while gyrating my hips, teasing her cervix. Her cries filled the medical bay as she shuddered into a fresh orgasm releasing all over my cock, and I reached forward and grabbed her throat as I let go of her nipples. ¡°Nya~¡± Nyava¡¯s cries cut off and took my cock as I choked her by the throat, and she struggled a little as I continued to fuck her cunt hard. Her body shuddered, and I felt her pussy spasm again, and she chained orgasms as I reached another peak and released my load, making her chain another orgasm. Easy bitches like Nyava made you feel powerful, and I loved making her cum repeatedly on my cock like Ura. Filling her, I remembered there was another hole to release my seed into, and I pulled out cumming a little on her stomach as I finally let her breathe again. ¡°AH~, Ah~¡± She moaned out, breathing heavily. I flipped her before she knew what was happening and found her little asshole twitching but locked tight. I didn''t wait, and my hand came down on her bright red ass from before, and she cried out, ¡°Twenty-Three ~!¡± Even as she struggled to breathe and I smiled and didn''t give her time to think as I pressed the head of my cum covered cock against her asshole and I shoved. ¡°AH! FUCK! MY ASS!¡± She coughed out, ¡°I NEVER-¡± I reached forward and cut off her curse as her tight ass gave way to the leftover semen and juices on my cock, and it trembled. I didn''t care as I started to fuck her tight little asspussy hard, and her tail was straight in the air as I brought my hand down on her rapidly darkening ass. I felt her mouth open, and I let go. ¡°AH~!¡± She breathed in sensually almost and screamed out, ¡°TWENTY-FOUR ~!¡± Nyava cried out, unwilling to let the spankings stop. ¡°MISTRESS, MY ASS~!¡± She cried out as I grabbed her hips and increased my pace. ¡°I~ Ah~! Never~! OH FUCK~! HAD~! AH~ A~ COCK~! AH~! FUCK~! IN IT BEFORE~!¡± She screamed out slowly as I started to rapidly and mercilessly fuck her ass so hard that her pussy gushed, and a moment later, I smelled urine as it continued spraying all over the bed and the medical bay floor. ¡°Your body is mine!¡± I said, drunk on the power and domination I felt as her tight ass spasmed. I reached another peak, and I drilled my cock in deep, pulled her back off the bed, then shoved her face first down into her pool of female ejaculate and urine as I released my seed into her ass on my knees behind her. ¡°IM YOURS~! MISTRESS~!¡± Nyava screamed out as her pussy sprayed, her ass spasmed, and her entire body vibrated and trembled as she orgasmed her brains out as I released my seed deep into her virgin ass without restraint in one of the hardest fucks in my life. I paid no attention to the notification I received mid-orgasm and continued thrusting into that trembling asshole. I wasn''t done with Nyava yet. She was sexy and a problem, but at this moment, not a single thought in my mind was on that matter. I drove my cock deep into her no longer virgin asshole without restraint as she screamed in pleasure again and again. It could have been a more productive day in Galaxy Online. It was a very enjoyable one, though. Chapter 44: Bounties Nyava was no longer complaining about anything and was deep into literature about the Rosh¡¯an Locktar. She was looking into the physiology and discrepancies in the knowledge she had. It seemed that my rough treatment of her increased her motivation. I walked out of the medical bay with her used and abused in the exact way that she seemed to want. I felt completely refreshed, and I remembered that I had that Sissy and his wife coming over tonight. That would be interesting and enjoyable as I hadn''t done anything with a couple in a long time. All of that was unimportant as we were about a day out from the planet, and we would be Dry docking the spaceship there for now. We would be on the planet for a period of time, and I would be able to take some time to bounty hunt on a new world. I was still healing but did not play this game to make relationships with NPCs. I was here for combat and killing, and this was a fun game. It was tough fighting, and it would be something that I strived for in this game. It was interesting that this was a game that both infrequently found problems for you, but you also sought out your own fun. I would make a story as a bounty hunter and see how things played out. Logging out for now after spending the day messing up Nyava was something of a relief as I wanted to make some lunch before coming back to play a day or two before logging out and sleeping. I know that I might annoy some of my sleep watchers about being late, but I wouldn''t hear too much about it. I ate with everyone before going to bed and logging out of Galaxy Online. The pod opened up. I got out and stretched and realized I didn''t feel hungry. That was a little annoying, but I decided to exercise instead, as I needed to keep my figure. I would go hard working out all over my body today and spend two hours doing it. I walked over to my computer and checked my Vote to see how the progress was today, and I noticed a latex outfit was making it through tonight. I smiled, although this one was a one-piece that was skin-tight and went from the high upper thigh to the top of my breasts. It was a piece that I enjoyed, and it was tight, covering everything I needed it to. It was sexy, too, as it showed off my body. I was surprised this might pass the vote, but I didn''t care as I enjoyed the tight things over the looser clothing. I then turned on my music application and started to put on my headphones before heading to the bedroom, which was my closet, and started to get changed. Tight yoga pants and a sports bra later, I found myself on the floor doing burpees till my body shook. I knew they would hate me for a while, whoever lived below me, but they could live with it. I changed after a bit to core exercises and started to do curl-ups til my abs complained, and I moved to a plank which did not help in the least. My body was dripping with sweat by now, and I was a dripping mess before I got on the elliptical and started to destroy my legs. I made sure that I went for a long time. My arms were left out from all of this, and so once I was almost done, I finished with pushups just because I hated myself. After two hours, I realized I had exercised twice today, once in the game and now in real life. It was a pain, and my body hated me at this moment, but I had been light on myself lately. I dripped all the way over to the shower, cleaned myself up after all of that, and showered the grime off my body before grabbing the t-shirt and yoga pants I wore before I changed to work out. I did nothing else before returning to the game pod and got in. The pod lid closed, and I logged back into my character. My eyes snapped open, and I felt Ura resting beside me, and I got up. I grabbed my guns and everything from the room and crouched out of the crew quarters. I heard a soft moan coming from another room which I did not investigate, and slid down the ladder. I walked over to my bay, and instead of looking at new technical manuals, I brought up the bounty board. The bounty boards for the planet we were going to had a lot. I started to reduce it and found an interesting section of the bounty board for Forest Bounties. Bounties that were in the depths of the local forest near various cities they believe the bounties have hidden in. The local planet, it seemed, had a cave system and dense canopies where convicts like to flee into. It was something of a local custom almost the Bounty office made it out as. There were a couple of bounties on some people who just took to the forest and would make great bounty targets. I wanted to start getting into trapping and tracking, and this felt like a great way to start. Although I wasn''t into forests, there was always a start, and I wanted to get into the start of it soon. I was looking things over when I heard a knock, and Ura poked her head in with a smile. ¡°We are soon coming up to the planet and will be exiting slipstream. What are your plans?¡± Ura asked as she closed the door, stepping in a moment later. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. ¡°I plan to take a bounty while we dry dock. I need to get more experience under my belt, and I am not just a bodyguard. I am a bounty hunter and need to learn how to do that better. I am seriously thinking of going into the forest and practicing my craft there,¡± I told her. Ura frowned, and her lips turned into a cute little pout. ¡°I was hoping to do some shopping with you,¡± Ura said, ¡°Hang out a little and maybe,¡± Her cheeks turned a little purple. ¡°Go on a date, maybe?¡± Ura finished. I smiled and got up, looking her up and down, ¡°When I get back, we can make some time for that. I don''t plan to go right away,¡± I told her a little lie. I planned to go once I got supplies and some better maps of the area I was looking to hunt in. A bounty and a timeline of how long it would take to fix the ship. ¡°I will go after we learn the Dry dock timing,¡± I told her with a wry smile. I closed the distance a little, and Ura slowly grinned, ¡°That might take a day or two,¡± Ura said, ¡°Why not do something before going?¡± Ura asked. ¡°I was planning on supplying myself, studying, and gathering some forest maps. It will take a lot to go out, but how about this,¡± I said, leaning down and closing the distance. ¡°I will ensure we can go to a store and shop a little. I plan to pick up something to wear anyways, and I would love it if you could assist me with that,¡± I grinned, ¡°You can see me in a couple of outfits and dress up for each other.¡± Ura shuddered and nodded, and I could see she was feeling shy from the closeness despite us sleeping together. ¡°I would like that,¡± She replied, and I kissed her quickly. ¡°Good, Now I am going to hunt down some information, and I will see you soon. I cannot wait to take you out soon.¡± I told her, stepping back. Ura looked at me, and I could feel slight annoyance, but she stepped back and nodded. ¡°We will be exiting slip stream soon, Be ready. We can exit much closer to the planet.¡± Ura said and opened the hatch before walking out. I watched that amazing ass leave, and I sighed. I walked back over and looked up toward the door Ura just left out of. Why did I feel like I was now playing a dating simulation? Ura was supposed to be a stupid NPC that I didn''t need to reassure and date. She was the part owner of this ship, though, and frankly, I liked her personality. She was strong to those who she needed to be strong against but turned soft in my arms. She was a little bit of a masochist, but I knew there was a strong side in there that took charge. I could not help but wonder when she would attack me with that dominant side. Shaking my head, I went to the information on the planet. There were five major forests convicts ran to, and the one that had my focus was called Saints Forest. It was a translation apparently from the native language to galactic common, and it was the easiest of the forests. It was populated, though, and there was even a town somewhere in it in some cave for convicts to trade. The convicts did not defend it, though, and I couldn''t help but wonder if the planet''s government was purposefully leaving it there for some reason. Thinking about it for a short amount of time, I could come up with a couple of reasons, and most of them had to do with the paycheck. The reasons for its existence, though, were not a good thing to think about when the existence was technically in question, and it was useful to me. I pulled back up the bounties, looked through the names, and thought in my head what would be the best for me to confront now. Mages were unpredictable, and after Oxrock, I didn''t want to try them again. I wanted to try someone in melee combat and lure them in. That should be where I am the strongest and the weakest simultaneously. Maybe going for something in mid-range combat would be for the best. A sniper rifle had limited utility in the forest, but it was still very useful to keep on me. I looked through the information on bounties and went down a list of much smaller bounties and soon started to end up with a list. There were eight hundred active bounties in Saint Forest. It was a massive eight hundred or so square kilometer forest and was considered a Planetary protected land. The active bounties were followed by old bounties that you could legacy file, too, with another thousand of them. I didn''t know much about the difference but I looked through many of them. Quickly some names came and went, and I found the main form of combat was guns and non-magical means. Mages were rare but not nonexistent in the bounties, and I frowned. I couldn''t help but wonder what other classes there were. I found a couple of berzerkers and more than I expected among the melee types. I found a dangerous-looking man with a hoody on in his picture and was one of the few Human pictures among them. The Race was unknown, but he was an assassin, and his bounty was low, but there was a warning tag on him. ¡°Dangerous, Bounty low but believed to be much more dangerous than first believed. Has Taken down Novice Bounty hunters but has left them alive.¡± Very ominous warning tag, and If he was leaving bounty hunters alive, I wondered if I could kill him. Maybe recruit him too. We were not exactly a lawful ship, and having an assassin would greatly help as both a scout and a damage dealer. I shook my head, moved on from the assassin, and just took in general information. Many of the convicts, though, were wanted for murder or extreme assaults in bar fights or something of that nature. They fled into the forest and hid to the best of their ability. Trapping would be useful, and I found that many of the low credit bounties had a bonus for capture over killing them. Trapping and booby traps would be my best friend for capturing, and I wondered if I should buy some collars for that. My mind spun when I heard Ura speak suddenly over the ship. ¡°We are now coming out of Slipstream.¡± The announcement made me stand, and I got up to join Ura. I couldn''t help but feel that my coming trip into the forest would be fun. Chapter 45: Supplies The ship landed, and the first thing we had to do was deliver the dark goods. With the ship entering the Dry dock, we needed to ensure that there was nothing there just in case someone''s hand ¡®slipped¡¯ and took our stuff. Or even worse, Report us to the authorities. I didn''t expect how professional the legitimate and criminal organizations were in coming to pick up the goods. It barely took any time, and I didn''t even have to try and intimidate someone. It made me realize that this game could be quite enjoyable to those who wanted to become traders. Keep to the professional side, and you could enjoy making a merchant enterprise or something. As someone here for the combat, though, I felt a little disappointed as the ship rose back up and we landed in a Dry dock for repairs. Emily was over the moon happy to be able to strip out the slipstream drive. ¡°Ura, It was worse than I thought,¡± Emily said as she dug into the drive while it wasn''t on, ¡°The power manifold is on the backup. You are running on the spare, it seems. There was max one more journey on this thing before the Power manifold blew, and it could have been in the slipstream. Without a backup drive,¡± Emily shrugged, ¡°We could have been stuck light centuries from a planet,¡± Emily adopted a grave look, and I watched Ura nod. ¡°Good thing we are dry docking and getting it fixed,¡± Ura said, ¡°I will be on the net making an insurance claim for it since pirates took us over. They have a clause to protect damage from retaken assets from Pirates as long as it was logged with authority. Well, it was logged with that Bounty office Sleepy Wonder was from, so I should be good. If not, this is coming out of pocket. We made some good credits, so I should be able to pay if that happens,¡± Ura walked away, and I followed her. We sat down in the bridge, and Ura sighed, ¡°I made a report already before we left the planet after you freed me. I should have Dry docked myself after that, so we will have to get an Insurance investigator out here to ask the dry dock workers bullshit. Some hands are going to need to be greased, or I am taking this out of pocket,¡± Ura groaned. She looked me in the eye. ¡°I will get the process started, but I still want to go out with you,¡± She demanded. ¡°Then we can go out,¡± I replied. Ura shook her head. ¡°Nope, The date will probably be delayed. Go ahead and pick up the supplies that you need, and I will make my claim. The question of if I have time now or it will be later will be the response of the Insurance company,¡± Ura said with a sigh, ¡°I will get started now,¡± Ura turned in her chair back to the console, ¡°I hate paperwork.¡± She sighed. I didn''t feel the need to watch her as she got her shit together, and I hoped that we could go on that date. But for now, I walked out of the bridge and headed to gather my things. I ensured I had everything before I set out of the spaceship and walked out of the dry dock company, which took some time. The Dry dock was massive, and I took a shuttle in order to get to the exit, as some spaceships were up to a kilometer long. It seems that any larger ships were taken care of in space. A kilometer was still considered a smaller ship, though, and it made me realize just how small our little ship was. I knew there were a bunch of things that I couldn''t see, but the fact that there were starships twice the size that were still considered small was a humbling comparison. Imagine a twenty-kilometer capital ship. I could not help but wonder if there were City ships and other things in this universe. Gabin Corporation has outdone themselves this time as I found an AI Taxi and told it to head to a place where I could purchase equipment for hunting bounties. The AI Taxi started to drive immediately, and the name of a shop showed up, and I smiled. Bounty Hunter One Stop Shop. It was a simple name with a clear focus on what they wanted to sell. I appreciated the simplicity of it, and as the Taxi traveled, I realized it was not that far away. It was no more than ten minutes when the Taxi simply pulled off the road and deposited me in front of a large store with another armed person entering. I shrugged and walked forward, and the doors opened for me. Inside was a greeter with a smile, taking the person who walked in before me. ¡°Welcome, Would you like me to help you find what you need?¡± A bright pink-looking woman said. ¡°No, Thank you, I know what I am getting,¡± The man before me said, walking by. In contrast to him, I walked up and smiled at the bright pink woman standing at the entrance. ¡°I would love your help finding some things. I am a bounty hunter, and I am new to this planet. My ship is in the dry dock, and I have some time to do a little hunting while my ship is getting fixed. The forest I plan on going to is Saint''s Forest, so I can get my toes wet,¡± I told her, and the woman smiled. Without meaning to, I looked down and noticed that she had C-cup breasts, but I instantly looked up, realizing what I had done. The woman did not show a single sign of caring. Her smile got a little larger, and she repeated what I had done. ¡°Okay,¡± She said, ¡°We have several things to get for you. Saints Forest is not a tourist destination, but it seems you already know that. The first question I must ask is if you are looking for Capture gear?¡± ¡°Yes, I am,¡± I replied, and she motioned for me to follow her, ¡°Do you mind if I grab your name? So I am not calling you, you,¡± I finished with an explanation, and the woman smiled. ¡°I am Tifa, An imp,¡± She said with a grin, ¡°Well, a mixed Breed Imp. I am half Human, half imp, and I turned a lovely shade of Pink. Now those two commonly asked questions have been answered, I will ask the same.¡± I smiled at Tifa¡¯s little humor and grinned. ¡°Sleepy Wonder. I am a Rish¡¯an Locktor,¡± I replied, ¡°Looking forward to working with you to find the right gear.¡± This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°Perfect, Now, what type of Capture gear are you looking for? Trap style? Collar? Restraints?¡± Tifa asked a moment later. ¡°Honestly, I am more used to going for dead over alive. I want to challenge myself with Capture gear, but I never have done it in the past. Mind showing me around?¡± I asked. ¡°No problem,¡± Tifa replied and brought me to an aisle a moment later, which was some distance away. It was two long aisles, and she grinned as I looked at the two empty Aisle. ¡°Capture gear, Assortment,¡± Tifa suddenly said, and suddenly the Aisles went black, and a soft noise was heard, and suddenly they lit up with organized gear of various types. I was surprised at the system they had, and I realized this might be more common among larger stores. Tifa reached out and grinned, ¡°This is a trap Capture device,¡± Tifa said. She picked up a bracelet-looking device, and Tifa grinned, ¡°This electric shock bracelet can fit to any wrist or ankle. It tightens into itself, and once it is attached, it will link through a previous link to whatever device you attached it to. It will notify you that you captured someone and where. Now, By the standards of the federation. If you do not collect your capture target within a day, they will automatically be released since they can live. What it will do, though, is that it will shock them for twenty-four hours into immobility if they try to leave a five-foot radius of the capture point. It will auto-lock to that area.¡± Tifa finished, ¡°Unfortunately, ever since the incident with a bounty hunter using the auto capture feature and making Criminals and innocents that were captured run headlong into a pit that killed them, we no longer provide or are able to sell the auto travel feature on capture devices. So you will need to head out to them if you trap them. That is just how it is,¡± Tifa finished showing me the device. ¡°So how does it capture?¡± I asked. ¡°Glad you asked,¡± Tifa said with a grin, ¡°There are a number of ways, but what this has is a great sensor to auto-clasp on things, and there is a band version,¡± She turned and picked up a softer; more flexible version, ¡°This version of the trap bracelet can be used to almost like a more primitive trap on people. Just insert something into an area, and it will tighten up and lock to them. The flexible versions, though, are slightly weaker. So do be careful about that.¡± She said, and I nodded. ¡°The other versions?¡± I asked. What I started to get was a variety of different Trap devices that, for a maximum time, would keep someone trapped. It seemed that the Federation banned auto deliveries because of an asshole in the past. I could live with that, but it made me question why Gaben Corporation made such a robust background to the world. But then I realized why; it was that there was the black market. Just because I couldn''t get them legitimately did not mean that I couldn''t get them illegally, and so they existed. That was an interesting thought, but anyone I captured illegally probably would need to be killed. I wonder if killing them execution-style worked for the Bounty office. Have them walk to me, then shoot them or use them as target practice. It was one of the most inhumane things I thought up, but this was a virtual reality. Then there were the other devices I could use to hold those I captured to free up the trap devices. I could then reset them, and the final version was restraints which were more or less very strong cuffs and by far the cheapest. They were shackles and neck braces and various things like that. It was something that I found in the spaceship. The price of the capture traps and the collars was about a thousand credits each, and I took four of each. Eight captures would pay for this easily, but I needed to make sure. ¡°Now I need some supplies,¡± I told Tifa. Tifa nodded, and we started to search the store while standing still. I got wire and various things to cut and new tools. I started to think up things on the spot for ideas I had, and I got more and more things added to my cart. It got a bit excessive, but food was also important, and I got Emergency supply rations from the local planetary military. My cart got full of various things and camping supplies, and I realized I would need a big bag for it all. Tifa seemed perfectly happy to show me an assortment and I found a large military bag that had attachments for my guns. I knew that I would need to prioritize some things and soon I was in the clothing department. I stopped here, though, and shook my head. I promised Ura I would do this shopping with her and shook my head. ¡°I think it is time for me to check out and take all these supplies back to my ship,¡± I told her, and Tifa nodded. ¡°Okay,¡± Tifa said and showed me her hand, ¡°Do you have a device I can contact you with?¡± Tifa asked. ¡°Yes,¡± I said, my voice questioning, and Tifa smiled. ¡°I will give you my comms ID. Call me for some entertainment when you are back. I am interested in you,¡± Tifa said, bringing me to the register later. I was a little shocked at the upfrontness of this woman, but she was upfront about everything previously, so it conformed to her personality. I nodded, paid, and winced at the fall in my credits. I needed some bounties to make up for this, and I knew it. Still, you need to spend money to make money. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:169830 ¡ª- I winced at the fall in my credit account but still had plenty of credits left. It left me wondering why I was being paid so much from that initial job. Then I remembered the Manufacturing secrets that I was still learning, and I was sure that bounty was less than a drop in the bucket for that job. ¡°Thank you, Tifa,¡± I said genuinely, looking her up and down with a smile, ¡°I will see about calling you later; you look delicious,¡± I told her, licking my lips. Tifa smiled and handed me a bag full of the things that I purchased after it came out. It looked like they somehow packed everything I ordered into the large bag and held it out to me. ¡°Please, if anything is missing, call me. I will fix it and have it shipped within an hour or, if it is nighttime, the next day. I do need my sleep after all.¡± She finished with a wink. I took the heavy backpack, put it down to the ground, and attached my assault rifle and Sniper rifle to either side. The bag took the load with no problem, and I lifted it onto my back with a grunt. I stood tall and smiled at Tifa, who now looked at me with a much more interested look. ¡°Thanks for packing the bag. I will be going now,¡± I told her and left the store. New associates at the front were talking with new customers, and I walked out without issue getting into the taxi. I put my stuff in before sitting down and told the AI Taxi to take me back to the drydock. I would meet up with Ura and hoped to pick up some nice clothing with her. It would be a fun date. I didn''t have much time before I stepped back out and headed back to ship with my supplies. Chapter 46: Nano Fiber Making it back to the ship, I quickly saw that they were already removing the front of the ship. It looked like they were starting to pull things out, and Emily was shouting at some deckhands already. It seemed that Emily was already starting to take this ship as her baby as she jumped in and started working on the ship herself. I smiled and entered to find a frowning Ura as she leaned back and sighed on the bridge. ¡°Did you get a timing?¡± I asked with a huge backpack still on my back. ¡°Insurance agent will be here in a week. We will learn after their inspection if we have to pay out of pocket. I should have taken the ship in right away,¡± Ura finished, her words sounding like a curse. It seemed that even insurance in this world was something you had to be worried about. That was good to know if you were a large corporation in this world. Having proper insurance and making sure people were following it would be important. This, I also knew, would come with a great amount of crying from guild leaders about being too realistic. I could already imagine a Corporation member experimenting with a way that breaks the contract of insurance that would lose them millions of credits. It would be interesting to see how they would deal with that in the future. It would also give PvP a new angle you could attack in the future. Maybe force someone who wants to win a fight needing to attack in a way that might break Insurance. I didn''t know at this point, so there wasn''t much to think about. ¡°Well, Then I have a couple of weeks out in the Forest. Want to help me pick out some clothing?¡± I asked her, ¡°I would also love to dress you up before I leave,¡± I saw a now Blushing Ura now looking at me. ¡°I would love to; I can get out of here for a couple of hours,¡± Ura said with that slightly purple blush. ¡°When are you planning on going into the forest?¡± Ura asked. ¡°After a long sleep,¡± I said, meaning tomorrow in real life. I would need to sleep in real life for a time before I could log back on. I would enjoy that couple if they were coming over, then I would log on and then do my forest dive. I might even have to take some time off sleep streaming for a night or two. Ura nodded and smiled, ¡°Well, want to go now?¡± Ura asked, then looked at the bag on my back, ¡°Do you want to put that down first?¡± She asked. I nodded, dropped the bag off in my workshop, took the sniper and assault rifle off the bag, and put them on my back. I loaded up my weapons and smiled as the lighter weight was much easier to work with. I returned to the bridge and picked up Ura before walking out of the spaceship with her. It took a small amount of time for us to make it to an AI taxi for us. ¡°To the Clothing and Armor shopping mall,¡± Ura said with a slight blush. I thought this blush was a little questionable, but I leaned back and smiled at Ura. ¡°So, a couple of weeks without me,¡± I said with a small smile, ¡°Would you like me to make a mold of my tool downstairs?¡± I asked with a lecherous smile. Ura blushed a deep purple that made me smile as I could tell that she was a little on the fence about this proposal. ¡°Maybe absence would make the heart grow fonder,¡± I told her and leaned back as she blushed hard while the car drove deeper into the city than I expected. ¡°I would like one,¡± Ura said quietly with a deep blush. ¡°Sorry, what was that?¡± I asked with a sadistic smile. ¡°I would like a mold for my own use while you are gone,¡± Ura replied more loudly, and I grinned. ¡°Perfect, I will see what is available,¡± I finished teasing her, still smiling. Ura nodded, the ride went a little quiet, and I sighed, ¡°I got a lot of supplies, but being on a backward planet means I still don''t know how good of a deal I got.¡± I confessed suddenly, ¡°I hope you will take the receipt at some point and help me determine that at some point.¡± Ura looked at me and nodded, ¡°Okay, We are running on a good balance of Federation credits right now, but we might be in the negative after this Drydock experience. It was my failure thinking those morons were not so,¡± Ura paused, ¡°Well, Moronic. Micro jumping with a Slipstream drive,¡± Ura shook her head, ¡°Sorry it is stupid, but they were obviously uneducated and faked their credentials.¡± I couldn''t help but nod and agree with her. In fact, I would go a step further and believe they were out to defraud her from the get-go. Just as I was about to start asking about that, the Taxi stopped, and we were in front of a large skyscraper with people constantly moving in and out. Packages were being sent out and coming in, and it was massive. I couldn''t help but be awed by the logistical challenge that was being overcome with drones, flying trucks, and various other things I didn''t know about yet. Things were moving fast, and so were the people. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. ¡°This is a fashion Mall. The only thing sold here besides food and drinks is clothing or armor for your body.¡± Ura grinned, ¡°I haven''t been in one since the military!¡± Ura announced and started to get out of the car, ¡°Come on, Let us Shop!¡± Ura announced with a large smile, excited for what would come. I followed her out of the AI Taxi, and we entered what could only be called a massive mall. Elevators were moving up and down, and it seemed people were flying around, too, while others were on their feet. The Center of the building seemed to be hollow, with the exception of four pillars that Elevators took people up and down in. In the center, a large purple and blue tree was thicker than ten people holding hands and towered up several floors. It swayed in the wind slightly and looked beautiful. Blue Grass surrounded that tree, and people were eating and laughing on the grass and at tables around the tree. It looked harmonic with nature despite the lack of nature around that tree. It was a contrast that was mesmerizing at first, and Ura smiled. ¡°Let us go to the Bounty Hunters Fashion Emporium. They sound like they are only designers, but everything there is top-notch. They only carry the best of the Armor and garb used to fight and enter the forest. You have been wearing Desert leathers and not good ones for the last couple of weeks. Let us get you something new!¡± I could hear and see her excitement at this, and I followed her into the mall. We took an elevator up to the top floor, which was startling as it moved so fast. It took seconds for us to step into the small elevator near the entrance. Moments later, and barely more than a breath later, we were on the top floor, stepping out. Looking toward the center, I realized that the hollow center that seemed to go all the way up was untrue, as there seemed to be no end to the store we were in. It was massive, and there was armor of various thicknesses and fashionable clothing on mannequins all around. ¡°I like how they are not so utilitarian in their search aisles. Not everything I want is something I am going to search for,¡± Ura said, looking around at the rows and Racks of clothing around. ¡°The old style of discovering something you might never have thought you would like is precious, and the search function destroys that,¡± Ura continued as she started to look around. ¡°Like, this light green Tank top would look fantastic on you. A bit light for the forest, though,¡± Ura said with a frown, and I realized something terrible. This wasn''t about to be a short experience. Ura was a window shopper and opinionated about clothing. I liked the search function and finding and looking through exactly what I wanted. Ura was going to drag me around the store. I didn''t mind that totally as I would learn a bit about her, but I thought it was also a bit of a time waster. That didn''t mean I hated it as I watched the juicy woman start looking around, and she went through the racks of clothing. Her energy towards this was great, and I felt myself getting excited for the trip as well. Ura went from clothing rack to clothing rack, and I decided, as she got a bunch of things for me to wear, to see if I found anything for her to wear. Ura was well endowed both on top, and her booty was something you needed a picture of to understand how perfect it was. I started looking through things before realizing this was a mercenary place. I could make her look like a bounty hunter, but they were not things that really tended to be in her style, and I realized I would be the one showing off my body to her in this store. ¡°Sleepy Wonder!¡± Ura exclaimed with a walking cart that she found somewhere full of clothing. ¡°Let us get a changing room! I want to see you in these. I want to make sure that you have something to blend into the forest environment around here,¡± Ura said, her voice only slightly tinged with worry. I couldn''t help but smile appreciatively at that, and soon I was in a changing room. Instead of my usual leathers and harness, I was in cloth, cotton nanofiber, and a bunch of materials I did not know the name of. There seemed to be materials here that could even slowly regrow back into their current form if you got a hole in them. It was fascinating, but the material that I seemed to fall in love with was Nanofiber. It was a tough fiber that was resistant to stabs and kinetic forces, although that was secondary to the feel on my skin. It was super soft on my skin to me and made me want every piece of my clothing in this game to be made out of it. It was like there was no interweave, and it made me remember how sensitive Rish¡¯an Locktor¡¯s fingers were. I could feel a problem with guns when one was there, even if it was a microfracture. That meant that everything that wasn''t perfectly smooth to a point was something that slightly bothered me. It was the reason I liked the leather I was wearing because it was leather and had only the seams to keep the clothing together. Nanofiber didn''t even have those problems, as it was like it was always like the way it was. There was no cut in it; there were no seams in the clothing and needlework done in it. It felt perfect on my skin. I walked out in a Blue and purple speckled tank top and pants in a camo color that was supposed to blend with the fauna here on this planet, and I smiled with a bright smile. Ura looked at me with a smile seeing me. ¡°I love the feel of Nano Fiber,¡± I told Ura, surprising her a little, ¡°I want a couple more things in this Material!¡± I announced, and Ura smiled. ¡°Shopping time!¡± Ura exclaimed like a schoolgirl and overly excited. Soon we were grabbing new holsters and clothing for me to wear that was more durable in Nanofiber. I did not know how much it would cost, but I loved this material. Soon I was wearing my guns in different holsters, and I got lost in looking good in a variety of different outfits as we worked together to try new things on me. I barely even registered one time when Ura joined me, and we were making out a bit before I changed. Our hands roamed, but I sent her out before we went farther. I didn''t know if I should be worried, but I was genuinely enjoying myself as if I was with a good girlfriend. I did not want to think about that, though, as I tried on a black short-sleeve with some cleavage showing and utility pants perfect for carrying extra ammo. There were more things to try on, and my feelings for Ura only seemed to be getting more complicated. I refused to address them. Chapter 47: Shopping with Ura* I was dressed in a blue and purple camo tanktop that felt amazing to be in. The fabric was stronger than the leather, and I no longer had holes in my shirt. With a new pair of pants that matched a new utility holster that almost matched the old one, I was now wearing new clothing. Ura was going all around, and I had a black nanofiber and utility pants in a couple of variations. She was moving around like a force of nature of excitement as I stood as a mannequin for her to dress up. Each outfit was good, and I would try some other clothing materials, but Nano Cotton was out, and various versions of other animal hides were not as strong as NanoFiber, which was interesting. There were more variations of different synthetic fibers, but they were much too expensive. Their armor capability was high, and some boasted of stopping bullets in their tracks, or they would block spells from mages. I started to see the resistance costing hundreds of thousands of credits. Sure, if I put some credits on the line, I could get full resistance clothing for my upcoming trip into the forest, but we wouldn''t be able to fix the Starship. It was insane to put one above the other, and I needed to get better at what I was doing as a class. There were so many routes that I could go, and lightweight threads were going to be my future. Max, I would go into the medium weight, but I think as a sniper, the lightweight and try not to be seen would be for the best. Luring into traps was my thing, but now I had time with Ura, and I watched as she picked up more things, and I put a stop to it. ¡°Ura, I have five sets picked out, and I don¡¯t think I can afford more. Let us go shop for you,¡± I said with a smile stopping her in her tracks. ¡°B- But there is so much I want to see you in!¡± Ura demanded, ¡°You look so good in Mercenary and bounty hunter clothing! I want,¡± I put my finger on her lips. ¡°I would love to see you in some tight captain clothing for the ship. Might even make sure we leave one of the changing rooms a mess to show you how much I like the outfit,¡± I told her, making her shudder as she looked into my eyes. I meant every word of it, and I also damn well wanted to stop changing from outfit to outfit. Ura looked away for a moment and then back at me. She licked her lips and nodded, ¡°Okay, I want to enjoy dressing up for you, too,¡± Ura said, and I loved this side of her. She moved, swaying her ass extra hard, and I knew she was trying to entice me. To be honest, I was already entranced back a couple of times on the ship, but she didn''t need to know that. She was currently looking for more of my attention, and I was perfectly willing to give her some of it. We headed back to where we entered, but Ura paid the bill to my surprise. ¡°Nope, I am taking my lover on a date, and although you suggested it, I want to be paying,¡± Ura insisted, ¡°I never got to pay you back for saving me other than giving you a lift-off that planet. I insist that I pay for today,¡± Ura finished putting her foot down. I shrugged but smiled as I wasn''t sure that my trip into the forest on this planet, I realized I had not learned the name might not be profitable. I needed to ensure that I brought back some federation credits but, more importantly, my life. Most of The bounties I was looking at were only in the thousands of credits. With that level of trashy criminals, they wanted them alive but would take them dead. It seemed they wanted labor over death, but if death was what they chose, what could I do about it? I quickly realized that we had left the bounty hunter shop when I entered the elevator with Ura, and she was looking at me with a bright white smile. Her soft blue features on her face looked attractive, and her face was carrying a slight purple blush on it as she stared at me. ¡°What?¡± I couldn''t help but ask. ¡°Hard to imagine you just trying on outfits with me even when I just saw it moments before. You look every bit the mercenary type. Rish are also known for their pickiness for clothing and weapons. You do not fulfill the stereotypes at all,¡± Ura replied with a small smile. ¡°Well, I am not a typical Rish¡¯an Locktor,¡± I replied, smiling, ¡°Plus, each of us does things differently?¡± I said with a question, ¡°Does it matter?¡± I finished with a shrug as we came out to a large store. The store was much like the last one but with much more clothing in the empty space all around with walkways to move between. It looked like the store took the bounty hunter''s lessons, but instead, their names above certain areas with what seemed like signature clothing under it. ¡°Designer Utopia is this store¡¯s name,¡± Ura said, looking around, ¡°A warehouse of designers that do good work in the financial area I can afford, and you can afford. We will not find things that are as tough, but they have an area just for Starship flyers. So they can be practical,¡± Ura said with a smile. ¡°I haven''t been to one of these yet, but my old friend used to swear by it,¡± Ura said, looking around, ¡°I only just now have enough credits to afford coming to one of these stores. The Military did not pay much, and I barely had enough with contacts and my payout to afford the ship.¡± Ura finished, and I saw a girly side of Ura that I had not seen too much. She reminded me of a couple of girlfriends in the past, and I could not help but smile. ¡°We should head to that section then,¡± I told her, ¡°Get the utility clothing out of the way then we can pick you up some things for us to enjoy together,¡± I finished with a lascivious smile that made her turn purple. I could see her smile at the end and nod to me. ¡°I would love that,¡± Ura told me, and she looked up, and we quickly set off. So many styles that I had never seen before, and I could not help but wonder how Gabin Corporation showed this. The talent and style here were something not quite in the real world but seemed to reflect it a little. The amount of time and effort they must have put into the cosmetic clothing in this world was insane. I could not help but ask myself if the procedurally generated cosmetics in the game or had one of the largest design studios working day and night for the last half-century working on just this warehouse alone, let alone the size of this game. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. It did not even take long as I followed Ura to reach Space Farer''s corner and Captain''s corner after that. Ura smiled as uniforms of various types came out. I saw some very Star trek looking clothing, then some more bandit-looking clothing all over. Ura made her way to a corner with a particular material over it. ¡°Nano Leather¡± was on a sign above it, and Ura moved toward it and found jumpsuits of various types. ¡°Keeping with the jumpsuits?¡± I asked. ¡°I was with the other uniforms before,¡± Ura said, ¡°I had on a purple dress, and I liked it. I also realized that cleaning was a pain and did not help if I am boarded. Since you saved me and joined my ship, I realized that fashion is not everything. When I was in the military, they didn''t make us wear jumpsuits; instead, they were various Flex wire suits that made us look professional at all times. They are expensive too, but they keep clean really easy, and no one in uniform doesn''t look ready to meet the civilian leaders,¡± Ura said, although I almost thought that she was complaining. ¡°I don''t want that this time. The fashion of those old suits is out of style, and I want something practical that lets you eye me up and down. I like enticing you while we work,¡± Ura said as she started to look at jumpsuits. I felt my face heat up and wanted to pin this woman down and show her the consequences of ¡®enticing¡¯ me. We were in the middle of the store, and she smiled at me with a girly mischievous smile as she pulled out a blue Nano leather jumpsuit. ¡°We also will need to have a uniform I think for everyone but you, but I am unsure what to do about that. Since you are a bounty hunter conditioning you in clothing might not be the best choice,¡± Ura continued clearly in thought. ¡°As long as I can continue to wear my guns, and I think lightweight is where I will be at,¡± I told Ura with thought as I looked at the Blue jumpsuit. There were various colors and designs, and I couldn''t help but want something that showed off her alien body the most. ¡°Honestly, I think black suits you the most, Ura,¡± I told her, ¡°Shows off your curves in fantastic leather,¡± I continued as my thoughts turned to think of her bombastic body. Her E-cup breasts and nice juicy abs with her hourglass figure were something to write a book about. ¡°Well, How about this?¡± Ura asked, pulling out a black and silver jumpsuit. The suit went up to her neck and had a little spot for insignia if she wanted, and the silver would go through the breasts area as if to separate the top and the bottom, but it would definitely emphasize the breasts to the max on the suit. I wanted to see Ura in this a lot, and I smiled. ¡°How does it seal?¡± I asked not seeing an opening. ¡°Smart Nano leather, it seems,¡± Ura said, pulling the suit open where I didn''t see a seam. ¡°Opens when needed without restraint by the wearer. Awesome feature that costs a little more, but I like it. I didn''t find any when looking through the bounty gear, though.¡± Ura finished. ¡°I can think of a couple of reasons, but I am unsure if there are unlocks for those, such as being injured or grime,¡± I told her, ¡°I wouldn''t want my clothing sealed against my body either,¡± I told her with a smile, ¡°Would make somewhere hot infinitely worse,¡± I told her. Ura started to blush again but grabbed the jumpsuit, and Ura began heading over to a changing room. ¡°Only one item?¡± I asked with a smile as Ura moved. I followed her as she hit the changing room. ¡°I think we need to destroy our first Changing room; I want you to see me in it,¡± Ura said, and we reached the changing room a couple of seconds later. It was a private area, almost as if they expected this, as she entered and closed the door, stopping me. ¡°No,¡± Ura said with a sweet smile, ¡°You get to see after,¡± Ura said, turned wagged her ass so I saw it a moment longer than the rest as the door closed. I already felt my cock hardening, and I couldn''t help but step back. My mind wandered for a couple of moments to the couple that I might be playing with tonight, and I shook my head. Ura was something I had to guard against. Her ass and body were an assault on my sexuality. It was like the game created a character for me that I could not help but want to pin down. ¡°Come in,¡± Ura said shockingly after such a short time. The door slowly opened, and I entered, knowing I was being trapped with a wanting woman. I stepped in and found her with her arms in a Black and Silver jumpsuit. Ura¡¯s breasts were just as emphasized as I thought they would be, with a silver strip taking up her entire breasts as they thrust out from the suit. The rest was seamless Nano leather that perfectly hugged her body with the exception of the butt crack as she turned her body to show me every corner. Her thighs were plump and a little muscular, and her ass wagged as she shifted her center of gravity. ¡°What do you think?¡± Ura asked as I closed the door behind me. ¡°I am wondering if there is an ease of access?¡± I replied flatly. Ura smiled, and her hand reached down as she wagged her ass and looked at me through a mirror. ¡°There is,¡± Ura said, and suddenly a seam appeared where there wasn¡¯t one, and her ass crack, asshole, and wet moist pussy came into view. ¡°For your convenience,¡± Ura said. I could not take the teasing, and my cock was hard in my new Nano fabric pants. My cock pressed harshly against it, but I already undid the utility belt and dropped my pants. ¡°Damn straight,¡± I told her and stepped up to her, grabbed her hair, and pressed her against the mirror, ¡°Very Convenient,¡± I told her as I pushed my cock up against her drenched pussy, and she moaned as I entered her. ¡°Oh, Yes, Mistress, Take me,¡± Ura said, ¡°Take me, Sleepy Wonder,¡± She moaned as I pushed my cock into her drenched alien pussy. I felt her tighten all over my cock, and I pulled out of her before lining my cock up once again and thrusting deep into her. Ura¡¯s gasp fueled my need, and I felt her pussy sucking every inch of my cock like no human woman ever has. I gasped with pleasure as I took her pussy hard and feral as Ura moaned like a bitch. I didn''t even care if an employee found us, as I took her hard. Her moans and cries filled the room, and I moaned with her. The sound of my balls against her juicy ass was the beat of the music, as her cries were the harmony of the song we started to create. Ura¡¯s tight pussy brought me to the edge and passed faster than I thought, and I released a load straight into her cunt without restraint or thoughts of getting her pregnant. I never wore protection, and I loved doing this alien pussy raw. ¡°OH! I LOVE WHEN YOU FILL ME UP!¡± Ura cried. I grabbed her breasts from behind as I filled her up, and my cock moved slowly inside her drenched cunt. My mind centered as I found my hands on her breasts and my cock deep inside her. ¡°Let''s buy this outfit,¡± I told her. ¡°I am sure we will have to try every outfit like this,¡± Ura said, licking her lips as she stepped forward, pulling my cock out. A moment later, she sealed the suit. ¡°Purchased; let us find the next one, Sleepy Wonder,¡± Ura said, licking her lips. I changed my mind from now on. I love shopping with Ura. Chapter 48: Patch Notes It was a fun day; we spent tens of thousands of Ura¡¯s Federation credits. I had no idea how much she had, but she seemed fine spending them. Her body shivered in delight, and much to my horror and delight, I found each time we finished our business together in the changing room, they simply charged Ura for using the clothing without even worrying about the cleaning fee. They merely cleaned the changing room without a word or a fee while we were out looking at new clothing and designs and cleaned it. This was something that could not happen in real life but was something that I felt so surreal. The world around us felt so odd and alien, but it was something that I could see the economic use of it. Imagine going shopping with your lover, '' enjoying¡¯ her changing, and simply being charged for the clothing because cleaning was so cheap that they did not care. It was simply amazing and worrying because they somehow detected that my semen was all over Ura, and she shook her head. ¡°When we are done, they put simple sensors that second-tier planets and above have the infrastructure to make for so cheap it is negligible,¡± Ura said when I asked. ¡°Then cleaning bots work in a preprogrammed way that leaves the changing room perfectly clean unless you physically destroy the changing room. It allows us to enjoy ourselves with privacy and without being recorded. They get increased profits, and we enjoy ourselves. Both parties enjoy it,¡± Ura said as she picked up the dirty suits that we chose. ¡°I heard it received a lot of criticism back in the day when it first came out. Many third-tier planets and under do not have the luxury, though. Probably why you didn''t know about it,¡± Ura said as we entered the elevator to head out of the shopping center. I thought about it and quickly realized that this universe was the same as the real world. There were privileges the higher tier or more developed worlds had those ones without simply did not have. That included little luxuries like this in the game but in the real world; it might be something like being able to flush toilet paper in a toilet instead of disposing of it. ¡°Well, I enjoyed our date,¡± I said to Ura after a moment, looking her over as we stepped out of the elevator with Ura. Ura smiled and looked me up and down, ¡°I loved it. I like you a lot and your frank way of speaking. I cannot wait for many more dates on different worlds with you. I will miss you while you are in the forest,¡± Ura said as we moved toward the exit of the Shopping center. ¡°I will miss you too,¡± I told her honestly, and I didn''t know how I should feel about that. ¡°I also am looking forward to being out in the forest,¡± I finished with a shrug. ¡°I understand. You look forward to the adventure but will miss the people you have to leave behind to do so,¡± Ura said, her voice turned wistful, ¡°I was the same with the military; I was top of my year for boot camp in piloting everything. I was put on a capital ship, the Federation Superdreadnought Aranaught; I was under an amazing Pilot and looked forward to such a high-tier mission. I left everything behind and all my loved ones.¡± Ura smiled before shaking her head, ¡°I know how you feel, and I hope you come back safely so we can continue whatever this is,¡± Ura said as she got an AI taxi. I smiled as I grabbed her, kissed her lips, and opened the door for her, ¡°Come on, We are not far from the ship, but I am tired. Your free to do what you want to me while I sleep,¡± I told her, and Ura¡¯s face turned purple as I got in the Taxi before her. She brought that leather-bound ass down into the seat and hit my arm with some strength. I smiled and pretended to be hurt. I laughed with Ura as the Taxi took off, and we stopped to grab food for everyone before getting back to the ship. As I laid my head down to log out, there was a sudden message as soon as the sequence took me out of the game. ¡°From Gabin Corporation, Hello, Galaxy Online Players, We have received numerous complaints about the Tutorial and main world difficulty. We looked into it and decided on a couple of things. First, Tonight we will be updating the Tutorial Missions to fix some mistakes that were made that some have exploited while others messed up on. The Tutorial world is the Contracts that the Character you have created was assigned to. Breaking them by force or exploiting them is leaving the tutorial, and if you lose your character playing outside your level zone is done at your own risk. Breaking them will force you out of the tutorial, and completing them comes with rewards like bringing what you have earned during the tutorial while also giving your character background and traits to make your character useable in the Main Galaxy Online Universe. Breaking the Tutorial is playing the game with Impossible difficulty. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! Note: To those exploiting the Contract to leave where you should be, you will not be affected by these changes as they did not break our previous rules. Unless your character dies in your Current Tutorial playthrough and you must restart, these patch notes will not affect your current situation. The difficulty of the Tutorial will be unknown and will change only by your actions. Enjoy! We apologize for not spelling this out in the first place. Those who need to restart due to stupidly breaking contracts because of our lack of explanation be given ONE extra chance with higher-tier characters. Second, We have received numerous complaints about time dilation and how it works even while offline. We had overlooked this, and a designer named Thomas Thorson Did an amazing job and received a three million dollar bonus for coming up with a system we have not found glitches with for adjusting time dilation between one-to-one time up to One to Four times speed. Meaning before you log out, you can default it to one-to-one speed, and when online, adjust it to one to four again or leave it. This is a huge achievement, and we thank Thomas Thorson! His reward was something small, and we plan to look into how to promote him in the future. Again, Please Thank Thomas Thorson for this code achievement. He has a very bright future ahead of him! This concludes the Patch notes, although we will be fixing some minor Graphics glitches. As a Final note, To all those parents who purchased this game and the console for their children. THEY WILL NOT BE GETTING THEIR ACCOUNTS BACK TILL THEY CAN PROVE THEY ARE OVER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN! THIS IS AN ADULTS-ONLY GAME! Thank you for your understanding, Gabin Corporation.¡± The text flashed on the screen, and I could not be happier. Suddenly a Settings thing showed up. ¡°Would you like to set a one-to-one timeline when you''re offline to a default? Note: this will only apply inside the Tutorial.¡± I quickly put in yes, and I could not help but smile. This was amazing, and Thomas Thorson was my favorite programmer now. I could not be happier with this ability. I no longer felt in a time crunch and had no time to be offline. It returned my real life to me! I logged out, and the pod lifted, and I stepped out of the pod, looking around, and I couldn''t help but smile. ¡°I can actually do things in real life again!¡± I smiled as I announced with a smile. I could finally sleep a full night without a full day passing in the game. It would be a night, and I could not help but smile. It was a private universe inside the Tutorial, so I could use this to take my time in the forest. I was worried that I would have to sleep in two-hour increments. Now, Now, I could take breaks and live life again! I stepped out and stretched with a massive smile, and I picked up my phone and found the contact for the Sissy. I decided to enjoy that married couple with my new free time. I would delay the sleep stream and get on my computer to start to have some fun. I could not help but feel a thrill down my spine as I planned some things and told my sleep viewers that something important had come up and I would be an hour or two later. But I would turn off the alarm in exchange, so who knew when I would wake up. It was a mixed result, and I looked at the costume that they had voted up for me, and I winced. It was something I was not expecting to pass. A little kitty pink tank top for those perverts that enjoyed a younger theme. It was something I wasn''t even sure why I had but for those perverts. The tank top was a little looser, but when sleeping, that can mean, for the perverts, happy accidents. It came with the completion of pink little kitty hot pants that were a little loose too. As long as things went well, things would be okay. But, I preferred to be tightly wrapped up instead of loose clothing. I sighed, got up, and turned my filming on but off my stream. It would take a couple of seconds to turn it back, but I smiled as I turned it to the second avenue. It would add some spice to things tonight, and I grabbed my phone and sent a text. ¡°Your wife is invited along with yourself, Sissy Bitch. Make sure you both bring offerings of food and toys inside. I look forward to it. You have a maximum of an hour to respond. Each minute you fail to respond with a positive reply, I will become further annoyed.¡± It was quick and to the point, and I got up from my chair with my phone in hand, heading to my closet bedroom when I got a reply. ¡°Mistress, My wife and I have been expecting your message! We will be there in fifteen if that is acceptable. My wife is very excited to meet you!¡± I smiled before I quickly replied. ¡°Only acceptable. I will see you soon.¡± I replied, headed into my bedroom, and started planning my outfit and toys. It would be a fun night with the wife of the Sissy. I am sure he will enjoy it as well. I grinned as I looked through my options. Chapter 49: Honeys Dark Side* I grabbed a red and black latex corset that I had bought just before I broke up with my last girlfriend. It was primarily black with some red string and details that held up my breasts as I wore it. Putting on the corset, I tightened it up and felt that lovely tight grip around my body. I love tight clothing, and this corset is perfect for that. My hourglass figure was made even more apparent, and my breasts looked larger and perfectly shaped. Smiling into the mirror, I knew I did not have much time. Instead, I chose something I had long decided for this outfit which was a particular lack of one when I wanted to use it. My cock was slowly getting hard as I thought about what I would do tonight as I enjoyed something without the guilt of taking too long for the game. I put on long black latex thigh-high stockings that I used the corset to hold up as it snuggly gripped every inch of my legs with just an inch of my thigh visible. A little chub rounded at the top, but as every boyfriend and girlfriend told me and insisted in the past. They loved that little bit of chub at the top of my thighs. It drove them crazy, and I would let it be displayed as I stood there looking at myself in the mirror. Panties were a hard choice when you have a package to hide temporarily. I thought about it a bit, and it was the same for my breasts. Or should I even care? I thought about it and decided against it. I finished and started putting on some light makeup to cover perceived flaws that I probably imagined, and I heard the door knock. My heart thumped in my chest, and my cock slightly hardened. I stepped out of the bathroom, finished my makeup, and walked over to the door. I unlocked it and stepped out of the way. ¡°Open the door and come in!¡± I shouted and walked away from the door turning just as I heard it slowly open. In walked a tall woman with a low-cut purple tank top showing the top of D cup breasts with a purple lace bra slightly showing. Her eyes widened as she walked in, seeing me as her sissy husband walked in behind her. The Sissy Gulped as he noticed me standing practically naked in front of them. ¡°Close the door,¡± I ordered, and the Sissy was quick on his feet, closing my apartment door, and I moved to lean against my kitchen island counter. ¡°Well, I finally met you, Wife of such a sissy,¡± I said with a smile on my face. ¡°Wow, you are so beautiful,¡± The wife said, looking me up and down, licking her lips, ¡°I am a little jealous my husband met you first.¡± I looked the woman up and down, and I smiled. Her purple tank top cut off into more of a tube top that hugged her breasts. Her black pants made her look very good. They were tight at the top but flared out a little in a design choice I enjoyed. I smiled and motioned to her with my finger. ¡°Show me what you both brought as tribute; I am a little hungry, too,¡± I said, keeping with a little bit of role-play. I saw the woman smiling in appreciation. ¡°We brought some nice chicken with a chicken salad. Honestly, not much for a woman of your caliber. If my sissy Husband stated your level properly,¡± She said, looking down at my cock, ¡°I would have brought something much more, High class. Sadly I was ignorant of your stature,¡± The wife finished, and I smiled. ¡°Then let us eat while your Husband tends to my cock. We can discuss what is going to happen tonight for both him and you.¡± I paused at the end of my sentence and smiled, ¡°His input will be unneeded as I care not to listen to what he wants.¡± The woman looked at me, surprised for a moment, before she looked appreciative. ¡°That sounds wonderful,¡± She turned to her husband, ¡°You heard, Mistress; Go set her table with the dishes and serve us. I want to hear what she has in mind!¡± She demanded, and he moved. I could see a bulge pressing in his pants, and I wanted to shake my head. I did not mind Sissy Boys in my life, and maybe if I had time on my hands, I would put up an Ad that I was looking for one. The problem is that they eventually bore me. I liked someone with the ability to fight back. To challenge me and not cave to every one of my whims. At the end of the day, I was a switch with a tendency towards topping people. I needed someone more dominant to push me down once in a while. It was an odd tendency of mine that partners didn''t understand. Watching the Sissy delivery boy looking with a large bag in his hand, he quickly started setting up my Kitchen Island as his wife moved over to me. ¡°You don''t have much around here, Mistress,¡± The wife said, ¡°Sorry, I mean, you seem very utilitarian. Do you mind if I pick up a table for the next time we come over? I want a good place for my Sissy husband to be under,¡± She said with a smile. I looked over at the wife, checking her out when I replied, ¡°Before we start with the gifts, Name, I do not know your name,¡± I told her. She smiled, ¡°I am Cassady; my Husband¡¯s name is,¡± I held up my hand, silencing her. ¡°Sissy bitch,¡± I replied, ¡°I do not care to know a sissy''s name. That is your business, and I am Mistress to him. You may call me Mistress Sleepy or Sleepy Wonder. In this context, though, I will be Mistress Sleepy.¡± ¡°Mistress Sleepy, It is wonderful meeting you. I have heard that you enjoyed my Sissy a couple of times,¡± Cassady said. ¡°I have,¡± I replied with a smile, ¡°Nice and stretched for my convenience; I heard that you would be interested as well,¡± I said, noticing that the Sissy had set out two meals for us to stand and talk while we ate. I motioned, and I walked, and I looked at the Sissy. ¡°Be good, Sissy,¡± His wife suddenly said, ¡°Ask Mistress for the Privilege to serve her while we talk and eat. Maybe you will get a meal of your own.¡± ¡°Yes, Goddess,¡± Her husband suddenly replied, and I realized a bit more about their power dynamic. The sissy delivery driver got down on his knees and looked up at me on my side of the island, ¡°Mistress, Please use me while you talk with Goddess,¡± He said as I looked down at him. His cock was hard in his pants, and I nodded, ¡°You may suck my cock and make me cum,¡± I told him and turned my attention to someone who I hoped to be actually interesting. He got before me, and I leaned forward onto the counter a little as I felt lips touch my flaccid cock. A tingle of pleasure on my lower extremity started to accompany me as I reached out and picked up a fork. ¡°Well, With nuisance out of the way, we can talk. His mouth is properly full, and we can talk.¡± ¡°I love how you are treating him, Mistress. So casual and derogatory. It is almost like he doesn''t exist,¡± Cassady replied. ¡°Sorry, I am unsure of who you are talking about?¡± I replied in question, and both of us giggled as my cock started to harden in Sissy''s mouth. Pleasure tingled up my cock as he took my shaft in and out of his mouth. His hands found and began massaging my balls. It was nice, and my cock was still getting hard in his mouth. ¡°So, Mistress, what do you do, if you do not mind me asking?¡± Cassady asked. ¡°I am a pro gamer, or at least that is what I strive to be. I am currently playing Galaxy Online,¡± I replied. ¡°I was in the virtual gaming leagues before and pretty prominent a couple of years ago. Now,¡± I shrugged, ¡°I am looking to get back into being a pro gamer, but I mostly stream myself sleeping to Perverts, wanting to catch a glimpse of my cock.¡± Cassady looked surprised, ¡°You can make money doing that?¡± She asked, intrigued. ¡°Depends and not a ton. I pay my rent and some extras,¡± I replied, ¡°What do you do, Cassady?¡± I asked. ¡°I am a Finacial Lawyer, Mistress,¡± Cassady smiled, ¡°I specialize in audits. I like leaving work at work though because it is incredibly boring,¡± She finished before eating some more. ¡°Well, Cassady,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°Maybe we talk about something less boring, like what you want me to do to you tonight. I have a full film studio from every angle inside my bedroom to fuck you under. Every moment recorded while I fuck you senseless in ways you might not have been before by a Futanari woman with a large cock. What are you interested in?¡± My question made the Sissy sucking my now fully erect cock in his mouth pause before taking the length straight down his throat. He knew what was going to be coming, but it seemed he didn''t think about it that much. His head pulled back, and my legs trembled a little as he started licking my urethra with his tongue and penetrating it a little. Pleasure assaulted me, and my balls throbbed a little while his wife looked at me with a smile. She looked at my breasts and looked slowly up to my face as I took some more food into my mouth. Dinner was disappearing without me noticing much. ¡°Well, If you are going to come out and ask,¡± Cassady said, blushing now, ¡°I want you to fuck me. Rough, Hard, and brutal. I want you to be mean to me and show my Cuck husband how to breed someone. Fill me up with your cum and abuse me. I have never been treated badly before, and the thought of a man doing it doesn''t make me happy. But a woman,¡± Cassady licked her lips, and her hand disappeared from my vision toward her core. ¡°Mmmm, I really want you to leave me a little bruised and abused. And, questioning,¡± Cassady finished licking her lips. ¡°Questioning?¡± I asked. ¡°I took fertility pills,¡± Cassady replied, ¡°My husband and I, well, we, um,¡± Cassady blushed a deep crimson. ¡°We want to get pregnant and not know who the father is. Imagine, for a sissy bitch raising and working to never know if he is raising someone else''s daughter or son. Mmm,¡± Cassady moaned, ¡°Divine.¡± I looked at her surprised and realized this was probably something they had discussed beforehand, but I looked down. Her sissy bitch of a husband looked up at me. ¡°Deep throat my cock for thirty seconds if you agree with your wife,¡± I told him, and he shoved the entire length of my cock into his throat. My spine tingled as I felt him gagging and his throat tightening on my cock as I looked up. ¡°Who gets the first shot?¡± I asked, not really thinking. I never encounter this scenario before, and I could not understand it. I didn''t want to fuck an already full of cum pussy. This couple was also crazy, and I wasn''t sure if I ever wanted kids. But this was a fuck and chuck scenario, and at least they told me. I didn''t know how I felt about the chance to bear a child. ¡°You get the first shot,¡± Cassady said with a smile that told me she was very much into this. Her husband under me finally coughed as he pulled his head back, freeing me from pleasure for a moment as my cock throbbed. That wasn''t the question I should have first asked as I thought about it, though. Something about it made my cock harder, and I really enjoyed the thought of someone else potentially raising my child without knowing it was mine. I knew it was my dominant and most sadistic side. Thinking as he picked his little girl or boy up that it was my child. That he would never know and that despair at the back of his head as I mocked him regardless. It was an appetizing thought. The other side of that was the fact that I would rather raise my own children if I wanted them. I was not in a position in my life to be able to have children or even get pregnant, as my Career put things all on hold¡ªthat and the fact that I could not hold a relationship for a long time. I always got in stupid fights with lovers. I leaned back in thought, and I decided on it and grinned with a sadistic smile opening myself up to my more darker side. ¡°Abusive, rough, make sure to leave a few bruises and breed you?¡± I asked with a raised eyebrow. I looked down as her husband finally finished coughing and returned to his duty, sucking my cock. I didn''t even notice I finished the food in front of me. I grinned and grabbed his head, and I shoved my cock deep as I was reaching my peak. Maybe I was crazy, and something was in that food, but my cock was hard thinking about what I was about to do to this couple. This was a life-changing ask, and I realized that maybe I would never get pregnant on my own or spread my blood myself to raise it. Why not ensure this woman had my child tonight? ¡°Yes, I want you to,¡± She began and was interrupted by me thrusting my cock in and out of her sissy husband''s throat as he choked. I didn''t stop, though, and I could see her blush, ¡°Yes, Mistress, that is what I want.¡± Cassady finished. ¡°Alight,¡± I said with a moan in my voice as I reached my peak, and I shivered as I released a stream of semen down her husband''s throat. ¡°I will release my darkest side, Slut.¡± I told her the truth. I may be a switch, but my previous boyfriends and girlfriends told me I had a darker side. They told me it scared them, but it was just me letting things go, being fully open and vulnerable with my more darker fantasies when being a top. I shoved my cock deep into her husband''s throat as I finished cumming and pulled out and grabbed my cock, letting a small amount drip out onto his face as he coughed. I saw Cassady before me shiver a little as I turned my expression darker, looking her up and down. ¡°Cassady, I want you to say on film before I start off of this with your Husband what both of you are doing. That you have not drunk anything or are under the influence, you will both together say that you consent to what I am doing and will only retract that consent by yelling Red light in any context at any point. After that,¡± I paused, looking her in the eye, ¡°You are mine. To do with as I wish unless you want everything to stop. I will not stop without those safe words. Both Red and Light together. It will be the only thing that will stop me when I begin. Understood?¡± I asked. Cassady shivered and nodded. ¡°Say, it,¡± I snapped. ¡°Yes, Mistress, I understand.¡± Cassady quickly replied, looking a little shocked at my behavior change. ¡°You too, Sissy,¡± I said, looking down at the husband, that looked a little dazed. ¡°Yes, Mistress,¡± he said. ¡°Perfect, Both of you, Follow me,¡± I told them and walked them over into my bedroom. My heart was thumping in my chest. I was looking forward to what was coming. This woman must be a masochist like her husband, and her husband was into being a sissy cuck. Both were messed up and highly about their fetishes. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I had not let loose and released my stress like this in a long time. Memories of other days and family came to the back of my head, and my cock throbbed with thoughts of what was to come. I stepped into my bedroom, turned to my computer, turned to the recording program, and put it into my spare hard drive. Again, I ensured that it would not be streaming in any way, shape, or form because this would be porn, not a sleep stream, and my heart thumped even more in excitement as both stepped into my room. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. ¡°Wow,¡± Cassady said. ¡°Where do you want us,¡± She asked a moment later. ¡°Here,¡± I said, pointing at the end of the bed, ¡°Look into that camera and say what you want and what you asked of me. That you consent to everything you asked and that you are not drunk or on any substances when giving your consent. The safeword that you chose and that you can back out at any time of your wishing as long as you say those words. Your husband has the same choice and must say the same thing. Otherwise, I will not go that hard on you.¡± I finished, and I pointed at the spot. ¡°Sit there; look there and give your consent. I will not be put in jail over second thoughts.¡± Cassady seemed to realize something and walked over to the spot, and her husband joined her. ¡°My name is Cassady Whitehorse; This is my Sissy Husband, Frank Whitehorse. I am here at Mistress SleepyWonders house, which I look forward to dominating me. I have asked her to abuse me. Beat me and treat me like trash before breeding me. I consent to everything coming my way, as does my husband unless we say the words ¡®Red Light¡¯ together. We understand that it will not stop. We consent to all her actions unless we say red light and everything was discussed beforehand. We will not hold her liable for anything as long as it takes place before we say, ¡®Red light.¡¯ Anything after that is non-consensual, and both my husband and I understand that, as does Mistress SleepyWonder.¡± ¡°I Understand and agree with my Wife,¡± The delivery driver Sissy replied a moment later, and I nodded. ¡°Enough,¡± I said and put it into a file recording under Consent which was remarkably empty. Once stored and safe, I smiled and turned to the closet. This was a closet I had not opened since I cleaned everything inside it. It was thoroughly sanitized, and I habitually cleaned things inside it once a month. I opened it up and grinned, looking at a sex toy haven inside my room. There were toys all over for personal and other uses. When I had those sub-cravings, more times than not, I had to use toys to satiate the urge. Stopping, though, I saw both Cassady and her Sissy husband watching me, their eyes a little wide. Instead, I got an idea, and I grabbed a large dildo that I got an old girlfriend, which was an imitation of my cock, and I grinned, and that was all. All I needed was my hands today, and I smiled, walked back over to my computer, turned on the cameras, and started to record. Everything was on, and my cameras were ready, and I grinned. I pointed at a spot, ¡°Sit here, Sissy; you will not be allowed to leave that spot, Sissy Slut. I will breed your wife for a couple of hours, and you will watch and enjoy.¡± I was done with my setup and covering my ass. I wanted to fuck, and I wanted to enjoy myself. I had done all the boring things, and I smiled. ¡°I will step out of this room now,¡± I told them both, ¡°When I come back, everything I say and do is part of sex. Sissy,¡± I gave him the imitation dildo of my cock, ¡°That is the only way that you are allowed to pleasure yourself. Or I will punish you with a cock cage that I forgot where the key is.¡± Both looked surprised at my last statement and walked out of the room. ¡°The cameras are rolling, Do whatever you want but don¡¯t break my shit, and don''t touch my pod,¡± I said, pointing at my pod. I walked out of the room and closed the door. I walked over to the front door and locked it while taking a deep breath. I did not expect my night to be asked this, but I was ready. Very ready, and I wanted to unleash my dark side. I was ready and closed my eyes, turning off my limiters and letting my dark side out. Feelings rolled over me, and I opened my eyes, letting my cock throb in anticipation. Inside was a woman asking me to abuse and breed her. She was my slut tonight, and I could do what I wanted. I needed to be rough and make sure to leave bruises. This was no light BDSM, and this was something the community would frown on, but I took a deep breath, and my sadistic primal urge took over. I let it have the steering wheel as my cock and balls throbbed. Inside was my woman, and I didn''t care what her husband said or did. She was my meat and my hole to use and abuse. If I wanted to make money off her selling her into a Gangbang that was my prerogative. I did not give a fuck, and I let my mindset settle, and I turned. I stalked my way back to the bedroom door, and the Sissy husband looked at the imitation cock in his hand in his little spot while my bitch was fully clothed, looking a little lost. They both turned to me as I entered the room, looking surprised at my entrance, and I didn''t even acknowledge the husband as I walked past him and grabbed my bitch by the throat, forcing her to stand. ¡°What the fuck are you doing clothed?!¡± I demanded. ¡°What?!¡± My breeding bitch asked, confused, and I tightened my grip, cutting her off. ¡°You little breeding bitch,¡± I snapped out. I grabbed her low-cut top and ruthlessly pulled, ripping the strings holding it up, and it broke on her back, making her gasp in pain as the clothing ripped, revealing a purple bra covering her nice D-cup breasts. I wasn''t done with that as I choked her and grabbed at her pants and shoved my hand down them, finding a wet cunt. ¡°You can at least make your cunt ready for breeding but can''t bother taking off your clothes like some stupid Bimbo bitch. I don''t give a fuck what you wear slut. I am here to breed you, and I expect you to be on your fucking knees begging for my cock slut!¡± I snapped, tightened my grip, and quickly picked her up, making her look into my eyes. ¡°Do you understand that, Breeding slut?!¡± I asked. I let go and shoved her onto the bed into the middle of the cameras, and my bitch coughed. She looked at me with desire on her face, and I raised an eyebrow. The whore turned her body around, crawling on all fours, and bowed to me. ¡°Sorry, Mistress, please, Breed this slut and make me worth something!¡± She cried out, and my cock throbbed a little. I reached forward and grabbed her by the hair, and lifted her head. She looked up at me with desire and hope, and I met that desire and hope with a slap that resounded in the room, much to her surprise. Her mouth opened, and I spat directly onto her face. ¡°Who fucking told your dumb bitch slut mouth to beg for my cock?¡± I asked, my voice dripping with contempt. ¡°You''re still fucking dressed, you dumb whore. Even you can understand that slut,¡± I stood tall, and she moved her hands behind her back and unclasped her bra. Her hands trembled a little, and she undid the bra, but it took too long. I hated each moment that she took too long, and I rolled my eyes. ¡°Fuck, slut, Hurry the fuck up. My cock is drying, and you are still undressing like some stupid whore who doesn''t understand their place.¡¯ I rolled my eyes, got on the bed, and grabbed her pants. I grabbed them by the back, and I pulled down on them hard, forcing both her panties and pants down to her knees. My hand came down hard on her ass, making her move forward, and I roughly pulled them off her body. ¡°Ah!¡± She cried as the pain hit her, but her pussy was moist. ¡°What a Masochist breeding bitch. I am being too light on you,¡± I told her contemptuously. I reached down while standing on the bed and pulled her legs apart, and my foot came down on her cunt with a measured force that slapped her clit a little. My bitch moaned in surprise, and I felt her dripping wet cunt, and I instantly decided what to do with her. I turned around and brought my ass down on her face making sure my balls landed on her mouth. ¡°Open your mouth, slut. My cock needs new moisture,¡± I told her, and I got up a little as she took a breath, and I shoved my cock into her mouth without caring. ¡°No biting Bitch. Better feel not a single fucking tooth, or I will knock all yours out,¡± I snapped and shoved my cock deep. I grabbed her legs and pulled her up, and a second later, much to her surprise and I dove into her pussy with my mouth. I grabbed her clit with my lips, and I sucked hard as her legs tried to grasp the situation as they closed behind me, wrapping a little around my head. My hands reached around her already above my head, and her leg wrapped almost under my armpit. My hand came down hard on her ass, making her moan on my cock, and I shoved my fingers into her honey pot and started to roughly fuck her cunt looking for soft spots. Instantly I found three of them, each making her lips and tongue pause when I hit them. I swirled my fingers inside her, then separated them before dragging them out slowly, making her moan on my cock. I thrust my hips into her throat. Not caring as I felt her struggling and sucking on my cock still, I started to earnestly fuck her cunt while sucking on her clit. Her body trembled, and I found her pussy turning into a mess as her juices started to flow more and more. I stopped fucking her cunt with my fingers for a second, and I lifted my ass, allowing her to breathe. I withdrew my cock as I edged her cunt. A gasp happened below me, and I reached up with my hand and pushed her other leg off my arm holding her hip moments ago. I brought her leg under my arm, freeing both hands for what was next. My mouth pulled off her cunt, and my hands came down on both ass cheeks before one hand stabilized her ass and spread it for the other hand. ¡°EEEK!¡± I heard under me, ¡°Mistress!¡± She cried out, and my hand came down hard without restraint making her gasp. I didn''t stop and began to spank her ass hard without restraint, making sure each time would leave a fresh, bright red stinging handprint on her one ass cheek. I didn''t spread it out, and her legs tried to free her, but her position was impossible to do so. ¡°Suck my did slut or else,¡± I snapped at her just as my hand came down on her ass. ¡°I do what I want, and you do what I want. My cock needs to be inside your mouth in the next five seconds or else,¡± I threatened her. ¡°What?¡± I heard her gasp, and my hand came down. ¡°Five,¡¯ I snapped instead with a ¡°Four,¡± Less than a second later, I felt her hands on my cock and her mouth on my cock again, and I started to slap that same ass cheek again. My sadistic side was going wild, and I loved doing this. This raw power over another man or woman was something I could get drunk on, and her pussy was dripping fluids without restraint. Her one asscheek was bright hot red, and my hand came down again and again, making her cry out. ¡°Mistress, please, My other ass cheek!¡± She screamed. ¡°No!¡± I told her, ¡°Later,¡± I said to myself, and my mouth came down and bit her Clit lightly, making her moan as I shoved my cock deep once again. My fingers then dove into the depths of her cunt, and I started to fuck her as my hips dropped and fucked her throat. I started to move both my legs and fingers hard, choking the bitch under me as I fucked her cunt with my fingers making her tighten up. Her pussy started to gush, and her legs trembled, and I knew she was at the edge. Then I stopped and let go of her cunt as I felt close, and her body fell, and I got up, exiting her throat. ¡°AH!¡± She gasped, and her legs trembled, and she groaned as I got up, turning around. She did not know what was happening as she looked up. ¡°Mistress, please, Let me cum?¡± Her words suddenly turned into a question as I suddenly got on my knees by her feet on my bed and pulled her by one leg toward me. ¡°EEEP!¡± She squeaked, and I reached out, grabbing her breast, then slapping it hard, making the slap echo in the room. The bitches sudden cry echoed, but I did not care. My hand pulled her leg up, forcing her on her side. My hand grabbed her D-cup breast hard, and I pulled on it and noticed she was wearing socks I had forgotten about. I didn''t care, and I lined my cock up to her pussy and plunged it into her dripping wet cunt. ¡°OOOooooOOOOHHHH, WOAH, YOUR BIG! MISTRESS!¡± The slutty bitch suddenly moaned out, and her cunt gripped my cock hard. Instead of answering her verbally, I told her I knew by slapping her breast with one hand and shoving my cock deeper. I didn''t care what she said as I was close to releasing my seed. She was about to cum as her pussy gripped me tighter as I shoved my big futa cock up to her womb. I felt her body tremble as my cock kissed her womb, and I smiled. ¡°Feel that, Slut,¡± I said, looking at her. ¡°W-What was that?¡± The bitch asked. ¡°That was your baby''s room, and I will fill it tonight. I will make it overflow and breed you before this night is over. Then I will kick you out, and both of you can do what you like when I am done. Rember this slut. I will call you from time to time, and I don''t care what you are doing. You will be here in fifteen minutes, or I will punish you, understood?¡± I finished, not really caring what I said. ¡°N- no?¡± She replied, unsure of herself, and that was the wrong answer. I leaned forward, and the head of my cock deepened the kiss with her womb making her shiver. ¡°Did I ask you whether I cared for your Consent, Slut?¡± I asked, ¡°I told you what you would be doing, then if you understood. Such a stupid fucking whore!¡± I snapped and pulled my hips back and shoved my cock in deep, and my hand moved down to where her womb would be as I started to pillage it. ¡°YOU HAVE NO CHOICE!¡± I snapped at her, and my hand slapped above her womb and stomach as my cock hit her cervix, and I was at my edge. ¡°YOU ARE MINE SLUT!¡± I snapped, and my cock released my seed directly into her womb without a single bit of coverage for her. Her body shivered, and I saw her eyes widen as I looked upon her with contempt and loved her pain. A large handprint on her stomach was there, and I noticed her sissy husband with cum all over his thighs fucking himself on the imitation of my cock as he sprayed more sissy cum all over the floor. I felt nothing but contempt as I watched the sissy spray another load as he fucked himself while I impregnated my bitch. My hand came down on her womb again, making her scream. ¡°CUMMING! CUMMING!¡± The slutty bitch screamed, and I pulled back in her spasming cunt and started to fuck it as I finished my ejaculation. My hand hit her womb again and again as she orgasmed on my cock and beat. Her womb took the double assault internally and externally as I shook it hard, making her suddenly squirt as she orgasmed again from the pain and pleasure mixing together. My cock slid on semen and her juices deep inside her, and I pulled out for a moment as she gasped and I watched her pussy tremble, and I flipped her onto her stomach and pulled her ass up as I got on my knees behind her and lined my cock up with her pussy, and I shoved it back home. ¡°MISTRESS!¡± The slut suddenly cried out, but I wasn''t listening at this moment as I pulled back and started to fuck her with more shallow thrusts showing the entrance of her pussy more pleasure while my hands got busty. One red ass cheek with a white ass cheek, it was an imperfection, but it was one I knew how to solve. My cock thrust into her shallowly while my hands started to spank her ass back and forth with strength. Both the front and the back of my hands started to hurt as she screamed, ¡°MISTRESS! HARDER, SPANK MY BITCH ASS HARDER! I LOVE IT! ABUSE ME MORE!¡± She cried out, and my hands started to hurt from hitting her ass redder and redder as her pussy spasmed on my cock from another painful orgasm. I didn''t care for her, only enjoying the pain, and I needed to make her hurt and feel the pain. She needed to fear this me but wanted it all the same, and my hand came down hard as her cunt spasmed, and my cock released another load into her cunt, and my mind turned dark. My hands came down harder than ever, making her scream. ¡°AH THAT HURT!¡± She screamed, the pain finally winning as I spanked her sore ass harder than any time before that. But I wasn''t done, and my sadist side waited till I finished seeding her once more before I pulled out and flipped her onto her back. ¡°On your back with your legs spread for, Mistress,¡± I said with a smile. The bitches tear soaked face looked up at me, and I felt her shiver as I lined my cock up to her cunt and was ready to plunge. I was looking at her with a grin that made her look at me that perfect way. With desire and fear of what was next. This was a true masochist switch, and I liked that my cock shoved into her, and I reached forward, cutting off her flow of air as my other hand slapped her breast hard. My hand swung back and slapped the same breast as my cock shoved in and out of her. Her bitch pussy tightened up with each strike, but I didn''t stop and slapped it hard again and again without restraint, watching her breasts turn red, as did her face as I fucked her. Her hands came up to her neck, and she tried to scream as her hands could not pry my hand off her neck. When I released her neck, her pussy spasmed with that fresh, beautiful gulp of air. She moaned, and her cunt sprayed my legs and stomach, but I didn''t care as I shoved my cock in and kissed her womb as that hand choking her came down on her womb externally. Her bitch eyes widened, and she screamed, letting everyone know she came, and her air rushed out of her. I reached down and grabbed her neck, much to her surprise, cutting off the scream with the other hand and started to slap her breast with my hand, and I looked into her eyes. ¡°This is me without restraint slut. You have one chance to beg for mercy and a lighter fuck after this, or I will fuck you till I am satisfied.¡± I spat directly into her eye and thrust into her harder and faster in short thrusts that made her womb tremble as I slapped her breast hard. The bitch slut could not even scream as I reached my peak, and her face turned red when I was at the edge. I let go letting her breathe again, and I slapped both her D-cup breasts making her shiver and her pussy spasm. I released my load as she chained orgasms, and her womb sucked up more and more of my semen from point-blank range. I moaned with the pleasure of dominance and orgasm as my pussy squirted a little. I finished inside her, and I pulled out, letting her rest a little to look at the sissy who had cum all over his legs and the edge of my bed. ¡°Did I fucking say you could make a mess, Sissy?¡± I snapped, ¡°Did I say you could cum?¡± I asked, getting up, walking over to the closet, pulling out a cage, and tossing it at him. ¡°Put it on,¡± I ordered him. ¡°Bad sissies don''t get to cum, not even to being cucked,¡± I snapped at him. He looked at me surprised, but he must have seen something in my eyes and started to put it in the cock cage and locked it, and I turned away. ¡°Clean up your mess with your mouth. If I see a drop on my sheets or my a wet spot then,¡± I shook my head, ¡°You will have to wear it for a week,¡± I said my threat made, and I turned to the woman shivering and trembling on the bed. She looked a little dazed as she looked at me and shivered as I looked at her. ¡°Well, Slut, Are you going to beg for mercy from Mistress?¡± I asked. The bitch slut shivered, and her legs trembled. Instead of answering, she reached down as she lifted her legs, and presented her pussy. ¡°Please, Mistress, Do with me as you please,¡± She begged, ¡°I want your cock and semen!¡± She begged, and I grinned. What a crazy Masochistic bitch. I was going to enjoy my night. Chapter 50: Sissies Hard choice I finished one last time with Cassady and made her a twitching mess. My mind was hazy, and I had to stop before pushing her to the bed''s edge. Cassady moaned, and I got out of the bed covered in her and mine fluids. I did not care, and she wanted this treatment. I grabbed her husband''s ear, waking him up. ¡°Grab your wife and get the fuck out. Make sure you bring breakfast in the morning, and I might unlock your cock to give you a chance. You have five minutes to both get the fuck out of my house.¡± I snapped at him, making him look up. The sissy bitch looked up at me in surprise, and I looked down at him. ¡°W-What?¡± he asked. ¡°Get the fuck out of my house. I need to get to bed, and you are both here. I am not sleeping with you both right now. Get moving and dress her or not; I don''t care both of you go.¡± I finished. Her husband seemed to understand and got up, and he grabbed his wife and shook her. She moaned and looked at her husband with loving eyes. ¡°T- That was amazing~!¡± She moaned, and he pulled her to the edge of the bed. I watched, got on the computer, and started getting ready for the stream. I looked at the cameras and needed to change the sheets on my bed. The blankets were fine because, at some point, I pushed them aside. It didn''t take long for her husband to get his wife back up on her feet, although her legs trembled, and a glob of semen dripped onto the floor. My mind and body wanted me to rebuke the couple, but they were leaving, and I needed to start my sleep stream. I was barely keeping my composition, which was one reason I rarely let myself go. I loved every moment of putting that masochistic bitch in her place. After ten minutes, her husband wrapped her up in her ripped clothing, and I passed them a robe. I kicked both of them out of my apartment. I pulled the sheets off my bed and remade my bed with much less bodily fluids all over it before jumping into the shower. I worked fast and cleaned up before getting out of the shower. Now was not the time for me to care about things. My mind was luxuriating in my domination and possible impregnation of Cassady, and I needed to calm down. My mind almost felt on fire from how hard I went on the couple last night, and I exited the shower as fast as possible. I got in the highest-voted outfit, which was quite loose, which annoyed me. Changing clothing, sheets, showering, and getting ready to sleep took me thirty minutes before I ensured I was back on my computer and saved the porn I just shot with Cassady and her husband. I didn''t have time to look at it. Once I saved it, I changed my cameras to streaming mode and turned on the stream. I could see my red hair looking much darker as I smiled. ¡°Hello, everyone,¡± I said with a smile,¡± Something came up, and I am super late. I am also extremely tired and a little rushed. So I am going to get to bed now!¡± I announced and got up, switching to bed view. With the extra delay, people were really excited to see me sleep, and I saw the viewer count at a higher number. I noticed a comment that drove others mad. ¡°She changed the sheets! Maybe she had sex on the bed before Stream!¡± The comment sparked more speculation as I ignored the comment and laid down. I grabbed my blanket and found it difficult to sleep as I wondered about Cassady and her husband. More about Cassady and hoped that she was okay. I was coming down from my sadism high, and not having the sub in my arms to assure myself they were okay was hard. Really hard, and I found as I tossed and turned under the cameras that it was hard not to think about the woman I had just abused. Cassady might be a crazy Masochist, but I was having trouble removing myself from the notion that she was mine. I treated her as if she was my bitch tonight, and when I unleashed the darkest side of my sadism, it was always on someone I cared about. My thoughts kept moving back to wondering if she was okay, and I almost got out of bed to call them. Without knowing it, I fell asleep, but my mind and dreams seemed to wander into a nightmare about Cassady and her ending up in the hospital. When I awoke, it was to fright as I heard a knocking at the door of my apartment, and I sighed. I looked at chat and read a hundred messages of ¡°Door!¡± and many variations of people cursing the person at the door. I groaned and slowly got up and out of bed. I got up and out in my tank top, almost tube top, short shorts, or hot pants, and walked out of the room. I walked to the door, opened it up, and found Sissy holding a brown bag in his hand. ¡°Can we talk?¡± He asked. I stepped aside, let him in, and closed the door behind him. ¡°Gimme a second, Need to finish work,¡± I told him and groaned, walking back to my room, sitting at the computer, and switching the cameras. ¡°Hey guys, something came up, and I have to talk to them, meaning I am awake now and not going back to sleep. Sorry for ending it here, boys and ladies,¡± I waved, ¡°Check out the voting area, as I will fill that out soon. See you tonight when I go to bed!¡± I finished with a wave, turned off the stream, put it into standby mode, and turned off the cameras. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. Getting up from my computer, I returned to my front area and yawned and stretched. ¡°How is Cassady?¡± I asked. The sissy boy blushed and smiled, ¡°She is resting and feeling amazing. I, I am wondering if I could get the key for the cage,¡± He asked. I raised an eyebrow, and I could not help but smile. ¡°Oh, looking for the key?¡± I asked. I reached forward and took the brown bag, and I looked inside and found a lovely breakfast and thought about it. ¡°Hmmm, A decent tribute.¡± I pulled out the food, and I looked at him. ¡°What do you need the key for?¡± I asked, ¡°You did release so much semen all over my floor and bed last night.¡± He looked at me with a blush on his face, and he looked down. ¡°I, I want to try to have a chance of impregnating my wife, Mistress.¡± The Sissy cuck finally admitted. ¡°Okay,¡± I replied and got up and walked back to my bedroom, and as I got up, I saw his surprised expression as I walked back to my bedroom and got into my closet. I quickly found the key to the missing chastity cage. It was a second, and I walked back into the room. I stood before the food once again and put the key down beside the food that he had brought me. ¡°Now, I can give you the key, and you can get freaky with your wife. But I will not send you the video of last night from every camera angle. That work for you?¡± I finished, and I saw his shock. ¡°W- What?¡± The Sissy husband asked. ¡°You can use this key now, go home, attempt to impregnate your wife, which every moment I am sure there is a greater chance of you taking care of my child. Or you can watch last night over and over again in the future. Your choice,¡± I told him. My sadistic side shuddered, and my cock hardened as I gave him this choice, and I smiled, knowing exactly what made a Sissy Cuck like him want. ¡°Pick up the key, and you will never see that footage. The footage of me brutally taking your wife again and again as you came on an imitation of my cock. The first time I caged you and your wife. A simple decision,¡± I finished. The Sissy looked at me surprised and looked at the key, and I could see genuine indecision. That footage clearly meant a lot to him, but so did having a chance of actually having sex with his wife and being in the races for his genetic material to pierce the ovum inside his wife. He reached out and picked up the key. ¡°Oh, So disappointing,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°Take it off here and now,¡± I told him, ¡°Thank your mistress for the chance to have a child with your wife, then get out. I have other things to be doing,¡± I finished. The Sissy didn''t wait, and I could see regret that he couldn''t get the footage of me impregnating his wife and cucking him for the first time. What a useless sissy, and I loved it. He pulled his pants down, and little pink panties showed up over his caged cock. He quickly took off the panties and unlocked his cock freeing it, and it rapidly hardened. I looked at it for only a moment before turning to eat. He got down on his knees, ¡°Thank you, Mistress, for giving me a chance to have sex with my wife and have a chance at impregnating her.¡± He said. The blush and humiliation washed over him, and I nodded. ¡°I am too nice. Next time you will have to work more for it or give up something even more precious,¡± I told him, and I ate without caring. ¡°I understand, Mistress,¡± He said, sounding quite humiliated to me. I watched him leave, and what he didn''t know my cock was now hard. I didn''t even know when he pulled up his pants, but I did not care. I wanted to plow him after dominating him like that. I shuddered but stopped myself as I needed to recenter. Now was not the time to go wild in the real world. I had a job, and my job was Galaxy Online. I was a bounty hunter and needed to move into the forest today. I wanted to do better in the game, and there was a whole universe for me to explore and enjoy. I wanted to be a pro player once again. I took a deep breath, and I finished the food before me. Tribute aside, it was all about logging in and playing Galaxy Online. Finishing the tribute took little time, and neither did putting up a poll for my sleep stream. I needed to feed myself, and the perverts needed a show. I took a glimpse at the chat, and they were all talking about what brought me to bed so late. The overwhelming consensus was that I had a male or lady visitor, and the fact that I wasn''t hard as I slept tonight was the biggest reason for it, along with the change in sheets a couple of days early. Shaking my head, realizing how close to the truth they were, I finished up and turned things off before walking over to the pod. Now was the time to log in, and I was looking forward to my trip into the forest. I was about to become that bounty hunter and validate my progress. I was ready, and I could not wait. I opened the pod, uncaring that I was still in my sleep clothing, and laid down in the pod. I was soon logging back into Galaxy Online, and my smile was bright. End of Book 1 Start of Book 2 Chapter 51: Into the Forest Before getting into the pod, I decided that I needed to shower. It would not do well to stink up my pod after such a long night. I remembered showering before going to bed, but after dealing with the husband of the couple that I played with last night, I felt a need for another. I looked at my body as I stepped before the Mirror and sighed. I used to be a Pro Player in Virtual Call of Duty and, before that, some computer games. I was a pro-female gamer in a male-dominated game. I was eventually kicked out because my teammates couldn''t play with me anymore. They couldn''t stand such a dominant woman in their hemisphere, and they continued to fail in the games when push came to shove despite my high skills. I looked at my beautiful face in the mirror and saw my long red hair flowing down my shoulders and down my back. I looked good, and my breasts looked large today, almost in the D range, if not larger. Although some chub seemed to be returning, I was still in good enough shape. I was a fantastic-looking woman, and between my legs was the subject of either disgust or worship, depending on the lover. I was an intersex woman, more commonly known as Futanari these days. I have a pussy underneath my balls too. I sighed and loved my look, but I needed to clean up before I got to work playing Galaxy Online. Galaxy Online, A game by Gabin Corporation, and I was betting my career on it. I was still a young woman, and I wanted to get back into the pro scene. I was ambitious, and I wanted it more than anything. The first thing I needed to get over was the tutorial. It was a Permanent death mode you had to make it through to get into the main universe, where there would no longer be permanent death. It was a hardcore start to the world, but it was also the Four times speed that they introduced that brought limits because this was no world where you could sleep inside your pod while you played. God, I wished it was, though, as I could have some more free time. Thank god that the game developer found a way to change the speeds of the Tutorial so people could change when logging out. It was a welcome relief, and I was already making use of it now. My default was now set to go one to one time when logged out and one to four times when logged in. Without realizing it, I was in the shower for a while, just letting the water fall over me. I shook my head, but my mind seemed determined to develop wool. I thought about what Ura, the unique and sexy Captain of a little black market speed ship, was now in the dry dock. The Pirates I saved her from did an actual number to the ship, and the slipstream drive needs to be repaired. Now, I grinned with satisfaction as I had time to go into the planet''s forest. A forest teeming with criminals for me to capture, alive or dead. Now I was going to be hunting them down for a couple of weeks out in the forest. I needed this to prove to myself that I was moving the right way for the Pro scene. If I failed and died, I would have to start all over. I turned off the water since I had finished washing. I stepped out and dried myself, and shook my head, not wanting to think about the implications of starting all over. Not only was I still in the tutorial based on something patched, but I would lose Ura. Shaking my head again, I did not want to think about that, and I finished drying myself and put on some Hot pants and a tank top. I made sure that I put up a vote on my sleep stream. I checked the cameras surrounding my bed to ensure they were off before double-checking my front door. With that, I moved to the pod and finally opened it up, and got in. I laid back, and the pod lid slowly shut. Logging in, I received a welcome as the rate of speed went back up to four-time speeds. Waking up, I found Ura spent sleeping beside me with her body pressed up against mine, her breathing a little heavy. I smiled, got up, and saw she might have enjoyed herself last night. I was happy that she got one last ride in before I headed out. Moving out of bed, I got up and started to gather my things. I ducked as I moved around and slowly made my way to the shower to wash myself off so I could be clean for the trip. My ability to clean myself would be minimal when I moved out. I washed and dressed in the camo gear I wore yesterday coming back and luxuriated in the feel of the nano fabric on my skin. Looking into the mirror, my triangular ears stuck straight up, and my hair flowed down my back in a black wave with red highlights. I looked beautiful with my full get-up and was in the purple and blue colors of this world''s Forest. The matching gear was filled, and I started grabbing my tools from my workshop. I would need all the mobile tools to help me with some of the things that I purchased in order to make traps. Now, on this trip deep into the forest, I would put my research to the test. I would test if this meme battle style that I wanted to go for would work. Well, at least in a forest where I could blend things in. The amount of builds that I could already think about in this massive universe was huge, and I was looking forward to it. I usually played the free-flowing types in the past, but I felt like this was even more free-flowing than people would think. I would have to find things to make up for shortfalls that I will have in other environments in the future. For now, I was going into the forest, and I was going to be ready for a fight. I packed some extra things into the bag and heard a cough from behind me. ¡°Nyah, I am sorry, Mistress; I made something when I heard you are heading to bounty hunt while we are in dry dock,¡± Nyava said with a smile and held out a couple of bottles and a square-looking thing. ¡°This is a skin injector for inserting potions into you without needing to swallow it. You press this part here,¡± She said, pointing at a little black circle, ¡°Against the main artery you have and press it hard against the skin. It will inject the potions into your body and react quickly. It is better than drinking and works faster. I have enough for ten doses, and each is clearly labeled. There is a stamina potion, a Regeneration potion for healing major injuries, and an energy potion that will clear your head and replace sleep, unlike the stamina potion, which is just physical energy; then there is the instant healing potion. That,¡± Nyava seemed to cough before blurting out really quickly, ¡°Make sure you have food if you are going to use it once. If you use it twice without a very large meal in your stomach already and in front of you, then you will run out of calories to run your body. Make sure that you only use it once. After that, As soon as you can, you eat.¡± The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. I nodded, ¡°Thanks, Nyava, I didn''t know you got ingredients for potions yet,¡± I replied with a smile and put them together in a kit with their labels visible and the skin injector to the side. ¡°Ura ordered them and got them to me just before you went to bed. This was what I could do with the limited equipment I have.¡± Nyava replied with a blush on her face. ¡°When you get back, c- can you punish me again? Really hard?¡± Nyava asked. ¡°I will punish you when I get back,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°I promise to make it hurt.¡± ¡°Yay! Nyah~!¡± Nyava looked really happy, and I watched her skip out. I stretched, picked up the heavy bag, and realized that my body was stronger than I thought, being able to carry this all. My guns were all attached to it, and my tools were on my body. I wouldn''t be able to hunt well with this gun, but that was okay. I would make do with what I had now. ¡°Hey,¡± I suddenly heard, and I turned to see Ura standing on deck in that hot Black and blue jumpsuit encased in Nano leather. Her E-cup breasts were in blue, while the rest of her was in black. I wanted to jump her just looking at her as she smiled at me. ¡°Heading out soon?¡± Ura asked. ¡°After a meal and I finish gathering some things,¡± I told her with a smile, ¡°I already washed your fun off me. Unfortunately, I wasn''t awake for it. I will make sure to get my own back later,¡± I continued with a loaded smile that made her blue alien face turn purple with a blush that I loved on her. ¡°I will see you after then,¡± Ura said with a blushing face, ¡°Come eat a good meal before heading out and eating rations.¡± Ura turned, no longer talking. The meal we had was a little awkward, and Nyava was keeping oddly silent while Emily had a data pad out, looking through things as she ate. She was in the grove, and the smile on her face told me that she loved what she did. I finished eating, and I grabbed my backpack without saying goodbye. I didn''t want to do so for a bunch of NPCs because I felt weird. For the past couple of days in real-world time, I had only just met them. In the game, though, I had been with Ura for over a week, if not more, because I wasn''t paying attention to the time and how fast it was moving forward. Now I would be leaving the ship behind to make Federation credits and more. I needed to test my strength and my wit to move forward. This was only the tutorial, and the real world of Galaxy Online was supposed to be much harder, which had revived, whereas the Tutorial did not. I needed to be ready to pit myself now before I developed bad habits. I walked out with a straight back and a large backpack on my back. My sniper and assault rifle were attached to the bag, and I walked with my shotgun in the small of my back with my handgun readily available. My ammo was in the bag, and a small rucksack dangled with tools and various things I may need, like materials that are not natural in the forest. I was ready to go and looking forward to the experience. I quickly got into an AI taxi, smiled, and said, ¡°To the Saint Forest entrance. Southeast side, please.¡± ¡°Saint Forest is only accessible to those with a bounty Hunter license. Please use your Bounty Hunter Association tablet to identify yourself.¡± The taxi replied. I grabbed the tablet and allowed the taxi to scan it. ¡°Thank you, We will head there straight away.¡± The taxi said a moment later. I watched out the window as the city landscape moved, and the taxi joined the masses of other vehicles moving. Watching fully automated cars move was something interesting to see, as there was no deviation in movement as they moved. People were looking to have it in real life, and I heard some companies were getting close. Toyota was the closest I heard lately, with many in the transport industry calling to have it ended. I didn''t have a viewpoint on it, but here it looked good, and I sighed. My taxi suddenly shot off from the rest, and the Purple and blue forest in the distance rapidly grew close, and my heart beat faster. I was excited about what was to come and couldn''t wait to be on the ground outside. Moments later, without caring about how I felt, the Taxi stopped about a kilometer away from the forest. ¡°This is the closest I will bring you to the forest; Bounty Hunter, SleepyWonder, Closer, and Criminals may try to shoot this Cab out. Please use your tablet to call a taxi when you are ready to leave. It will only come to locations at least a kilometer out. Have a good day, and thank you for your patronage.¡± The door stayed quietly open and let me leave after grabbing my things. I looked at the blue grass and the purple tree leaves. It was going to make an exciting day, and I took a deep breath as the door closed behind me once I put my bag on my back. The Taxi left empty and rose into the sky, heading out to pick up another passenger. I was now alone with a massive forest before me. I was a sitting duck here, and I headed forward while checking the forest line. It was now or never, and I wasn''t a girl that liked to sit back and get shot at. I would get in that forest, and I would start to play this game like the pro gamer that I was. A smile etched my lips as I could not help but think of this as the Training Montage for my pro career. I would make or break this account now in this forest. I needed to get better, and I couldn''t have the same thing happen as it did with Oxrock. I was motivated and unready, but this would change it all. Now I just needed to get this fluttering heart in control as I ran and disappeared into the forest. Now, was I the Bounty Hunter I wanted to be? Now was the time to find out. Chapter 52: Close Running into the forest, I realized there was a lot of undergrowth around the trees. It made sense, and the dark colors of blue and purple were an odd color to my eyes. It made things harder, and I wondered how this would go as I moved forward. The underbrush hit me and my bag, but it was not stopping me. I kept moving, and I started to get used to it. I realized that a machete would be useful, but it would also make a path and something easier to trace me if they could track me. A sudden whizzing sound in my ear made me move, and less than half a second later, I heard a gunshot. I moved and realized that I was under fire. I caught sight of the hole from a bullet hitting something just to my left and got a general direction almost instantly as I started to move for cover. I was shocked as I had just entered the forest, and someone was already shooting at me. I moved into the underbrush and realized that my bag was going to weigh me down in this fight. The shooter was in the distance and was probably a sniper. I had no idea where they were and no idea as I hunkered down in the underbrush where they might be or how they took cover. My situation was precarious, and I took a deep breath and looked around. The trees were separated by at least two to three meters. It was a bit of a distance but not something too worrying. Someone within a kilometer was firing upon me in a damn forest. They missed the first shot, which was either my luck or their poor aim. The trees here were staggered, so they were probably within four hundred meters. They couldn''t be too far because the trees would block their vision. Taking another deep breath, I focused on myself and decided that I needed to retreat a little. The attacker would know where I was, and I didn''t know where they were. That was unacceptable. I had this damn backpack, too, which was weighing me down and wasn''t good for a fight. I would need to leave it somewhere, but I need a base camp first. I slowly got up from my prone position and pulled out my handgun for protection. Quickly, I got back on the ground and started to crawl backward slowly in the underbrush. I was in a known position, so the only way out of this situation was to make it where I was less known. The only way of doing that was by moving without being caught. BANG! The attacker shot again, but I didn''t see where the bullet went or feel it hit me. That meant he was either shooting at someone else or thought he saw me. Since I didn''t see the bullet, he either hit the tree to try and spook me or made me move positions by making me think he didn''t know where I was. Either way, I moved slowly backward at a crawl in the deep underbrush I found myself in. Something I finally learned this day was something I didn''t have back in Call of Duty when I was a Pro. Camping was a very frowned-upon exercise in the game, and many hated it. It made for boring content, but right now, because I could die and lose my tutorial progress, I was ultra careful. I really didn''t want to lose Ura and the spaceship. I needed to survive and get out of here. I was either going to flee from this bastard or kill them. Either way, I would count it as a win as I moved slowly back. Time was so slow, and my heart was beating hard, and I heard it in my ears. Moving a meter when moving and crawling was damn slow, and I dragged my body through the bushes and felt unknown bugs crawling on my body which I hated. My breasts were dragging on the ground, and I wanted to curse. Then it happened, and I heard a noise. ¡°Nah, man, I got her with that second shot. I swear I saw her in the underbrush taking a peak.¡± I heard a man saying, ¡°She had a massive backpack and many supplies. Even a good-looking sniper rifle and assault rifle. We will make bank on this bounty hunter.¡± ¡°Man, You better have hit her; I swear if this ends up like the Dylan incident, then I will put a bullet in your brain myself.¡± A second voice spoke. I froze for a moment and quickly decided what to do. They were checking for my backpack, and I was still wearing it. I needed freedom of movement. I slowly unclasped it as I heard the boots getting closer, and I slowly freed my arms from the straps by pulling the strong straps loose. The backpack then lay on my back loosely as I heard them getting closer and closer. I slowly started to remove the backpack, hoping I made no noise. ¡°This was the bushman. I am sure of it,¡± The first voice said. ¡°I don''t see any blood pools,¡± He said, and I decided this was my moment. Instead of standing, they were both in front of me, and I heard some movement as I started to roll to my left. I came out into a little clearing between two things of underbrush and saw a Horned man and a yellow-looking person about to use a machete on the bush half a meter in front of me. One was turning to look at the bush I was in a moment later while the other''s head was turning as the Machete came down on the bush to look for my dead body he insisted was there. My gun snapped to position, and the guy started to bring up a rifle as he turned to me, and I released my first shots of the engagement. One hit the leg of the Horned guy with human-looking skin, and it blossomed with red blood starting to flow down his leg. The Second shot hit him in the side as he turned, bringing up his weapon and making him lose his grip. The third and final shot that hit him was in the neck, sending an artery spray in my direction as the other guy dropped the machete, and I shot two more bullets, missing the guy I had already put in a death sentence as he dropped to the ground in what seemed almost slow. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. He was dead, though, and my heart was pounding in my slightly ringing ears as I forgot to flatten my ears. Now, my ears were flat against my head as the other guy pulled out a handgun, and I aimed at him. He shot at me as he tried to bring his gun up to aim at me, and I shot at him after aiming. The bullet hit, and I fired again, missing as I watched the guy grunt and fall back a little as my bullet hit him in the shoulder. In my third shot, I aimed again as the guy lost balance, and I shot him in what looked to be his heart, and he fell to the ground. My heart was beating hard in my ears, and I moved to stand up as quickly as possible, almost tripping over myself in the process. Thump thump thump thump My heart rang in my ears as I stood above the two men of different species. They were bleeding out and looked up at me with hate. Blood drained quickly from the horned man, and he died as I arrived. The other one I noticed was bleeding yellow blood like his skin and coughed, ¡°I- I swore I hit you, Fuck. Danny was right. Just like Dylan,¡± He started to chuckle, and I saw his hand start to move with the gun, and I stomped on his arm, making him grunt and loosen his grip. I kicked the gun a little away, and he started to laugh. ¡°Just like Dylan.¡± He continued to chuckle, and I stripped the corpse of his rifle. My heart was beating in my ears as I was shocked at the slowness of combat in this game with such sudden heat. It was all over in seconds after what felt like hours of slow moving. These guys got more impatient than me and thought they killed me because they saw no movement. This was a lesson for me, and I intend to take it to heart as I looked at the man bleeding out and laughing. I stepped back and grabbed my backpack out of the bush while the man laughed and reached for his gun. I had it out of reach for him, and he shook his head. I pulled my tablet out of the bag, walked over, turned on my account, and took a picture of both men. ¡ª- Bounty: Danny Hellspit Race: Mixed (Imp and Devil) Crimes: Sexual assault, Armed Robbery, Evading arrest Bounty: 5000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive ¡ª- ¡ª Bounty: Freddy Sulron Race: Sulfroid Crimes: Armed Robbery, Evading arrest, Resisting arrest, Murder Bounty: 5500 Federation Credits. Wanted Dead or Alive Warning: Ex-Military Sniper, but wasn''t considered a good one. Beware nonetheless. ¡ª Why did Danny have the rifle and not Freddy? I couldn''t understand it, and I looked at the laughing man. I took my gun out, and he continued to laugh, ¡°Ah, Going to kill me. What a bounty hunter. Why not bring me in alive?¡± He asked. I thought about it for a moment, and I shrugged. This was all a game, no matter how realistic it was. I needed to think like that, and I looked him in the eyes and shot him, not caring to give him the reasoning. He was dangerous, and I didn''t want to end with the first two criminals that attacked me. I recorded both their bodies and vital signs as I put in the dead option on claiming the bounty. The tablet made me go through a couple of steps, but in the end, I successfully claimed both bounties as dead and breathed a sigh of relief. Then I put my tablet back, started gathering things off their bodies, and realized something that would make this all so much easier¡ªthermal vision. Then again, that might not work for all species. Still, in the forest, it would help. Leaning already, I started to gather my spoils and found rifle ammunition, which was only the basic bullets, An extra magazine, and a removable scope for it. It was a lightweight gun but useful. I got a new handgun that looked a little old but had thirty rounds on their bodies. They had various jerkies and random stuff on them, but I decided against keeping them as I only had so much space. They were lacking some things, and I knew there must be a spot where they had their stuff nearby. I got my backpack, took the minor loot I had, and was about to leave when I looked at the bodies again. This time felt so odd compared to previous times I killed in this game. I felt nothing when killing that first bounty, even execution style from a distance. The Pirates, I felt nothing either or those that tried to kill me inside the ship. Oxrock felt different, too. This time, though, I felt it was odd. I didn''t know why, and I looked at them, grabbed the knife on my now dirty pants, and reached down and drove the blade into their heads and hearts. I needed to ensure they were dead, and when I did it for Freddy, he suddenly twitched and coughed before dying when I stabbed him in the chest where his heart might be. I put my knee on his chest; then I started stabbing him a couple of more times when I saw his eyes open wide to stare at me before they rolled up dead. That was troubling, and I had no idea why I felt that way, but seeing his reaction, I realized something. I looked down at the yellow blood covering my hand. Not all species are the same, and they will have ways of surviving their harsh worlds, and sometimes you have to double-check. It was very well noted in my head now. I shuddered to think what might have happened if I hadn''t come back for Freddy. Lesson learned: I stood back up and used a portion of their clothing to wipe the blood off my hands and move along. I wanted to see if I could find their packs, but I wouldn''t dedicate too much time to this. I nodded to myself. One hour was all, and I found the first gunshot hole and started to find a stick to show me the direction. With the stick stuck out, I looked in that direction and started to walk. Still, something was nagging me, and I could not help but wonder why they were out here to ambush people. I slowed and continued walking while trying to watch out for more attackers. Chapter 53: Clearing I was itching to move faster, but I didn''t. Eventually, I reached what could only be the perch those guys shot at me from, and I looked around to see if anyone else was nearby. In the underbrush, I slowly found a pack with some supplies in it. Stuff that I already had, unfortunately, and that was a shame. Sighing as I checked their bags, I decided only to grab a few food items that looked worth it before moving on. I needed a plan; the first thing I needed was a defensible position. Somewhere, I could camp safely and start to set up something. I had to move slowly but not as slowly as I was moving to get to this pack. I did not have all day after all. The sun was still out, and I wasn''t sure how day and night worked on this planet¡ªanother thing I needed to start getting in touch with before I came out into the wilderness. I moved slowly and finally used the Machete because the underbrush was pretty bad. ¡ª- Standard Machete (Junk) A low-tier machete that barely cuts foliage. ¡ª- I grimaced at the shitty Machete, but it was better than nothing if I was being honest. I continued to move in the forest, and I was moving for hours. It seemed that it may have been bad luck to have been ambushed so early. For some reason, I felt it was odd to be ambushed so early. Kilometer after Kilometer, I moved when I started to hear water. Water meant prey like animals and other things. It also meant that I could find people potentially nearby. The sound of the water was odd, and then I got a strange smile. It wasn''t flowing like River water but like something much more fun. I turned and headed in the direction of that water, and I slowed my pace. If it was what I thought it was, I could hopefully find someplace to bunk down and get started. Slowing down so as to not give myself away, I continued to move with a slow, precise pace when I heard a sudden noise over the water, and I got down. It sounded like a noise from either a creature or an alien language. I was unsure, so I got down on my stomach and thought for a moment. I did not hear the sound again, but I decided that I would move up slowly as I thought I could see a clearing in the trees coming up very soon. Now I could hear clearly the sound of a waterfall into a lake. I removed my backpack and retrieved my sniper and assault rifle. In case I needed to identify something, I grabbed my Bounty Hunter Tablet, put it on my back, and hid my backpack in a little underbrush. Then I got down on my stomach and breasts and started to crawl up slowly to the border of the clearing. An half-hour later, I slowly got a vision of the clearing and found a breathtaking sight at first. It was a clearing of the forest¡ªpurples and blues decorated Cliffs about half a kilometer. A plateau with more foliage and a natural waterfall came down into a decent-sized lake. It was beautiful, and in the middle of it was something I wasn''t so happy to see. I saw a little camp going on, and I slowly brought my sniper rifle up and off my back. I wanted to get a closer look and was wary of my rifle. Now I realized I needed to get foliage to cover up the front like a Ghillie suit. My gun also needed something, and I sat in silence for a bit. It was hard to get anything from my current distance. Then I saw a person coming not at me but in my direction generally. It was not a good sign, but I decided I had a tablet and brought it up slowly. I had it pressed against my back with my shotgun and realized there was a zoom function on it. I slowly brought it up, and my face was slightly aglow with the screen''s light. I turned down the brightness and turned to the feature to identify bounties. I zoomed in and watched a Blue woman like Ura come up slowly and clearly sigh as she made her way to the edge of the clearing. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. There wasn''t a good look at her face yet as I watched, and she was headed a little distance from me. I contemplated attacking her to interrogate her but decided against that. I wasn''t sure what was going on, and I needed more information before I could do something like that. ¡ª Matching¡­ ¡ª The screen seemed to have taken a shot, and seconds later, a Bounty came up. ¡ª Bounty: Talia Fredricks Race: Blue Devil Crimes: Rape, Sexual Assualt, Assualt with a Deadly Weapon, Murder Federation Bounty: 10100 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution. ¡ª I looked at her and realized that she might be blue, but she was not the same race as Ura. That seemed to relieve me for some reason, and I decided to pull back. This was the perfect camping ground for me, but I clearly needed to not just run in. I pulled back and watched the woman move to the edge of the clearing. ¡±Fucking Alex, I told him, I goddamn told him I would get him back if he kept his shit up. I need some damn release of my own. I will get him tonight.¡± Talia said, and I waited as I watched her take off her pants. It seemed they never dug themselves a latrine and were just going into the forest at the edge of the clearing. The woman took a couple of steps into the underbrush and finished taking off her pants, and I heard her muttering under her breath about getting to this Alex. That meant that tonight, some noise might be being made that might help in an attack. What were they doing out here, though? I frowned, watched as the woman expelled her waste into the forest, and realized that I might be dragging myself through their stuff without realizing it. I decided that I did not need to gross myself out, and I watched and waited, not wanting to move when she was nearby. I returned the tablet to my back and noticed it was still light out. The sun was still in the sky, and I had no idea how long I had been playing. While I was contemplating the time of day, Talia finished her business and started to leave with a sadistic grin, obviously thinking about what she was going to do to Alex. Whomever he was and with her criminal history, I am sure he or she would not enjoy the experience. That was disconcerting in its own way as I watched her head back, and I slowly started to drag myself back from the edge of the clearing. I needed to plan and camouflage myself a bit more¡ªor at least my gun so I could use it to scout the place. More and more, I noticed small details that meant so much when it came to hunting in a forest setting that I never thought about till now. This game was almost like a military learning simulation if you thought about it. Or at least, how I was thinking. Still, For now, as I dragged myself back inch by inch, I didn''t hear anyone getting closer. As I crawled, I started to think of what I needed to do. First of all, it was time to do some of those traps I learned on the internet in the game. I brought the things to do it, and I needed them to fight a numerically superior enemy. Traps in the underbrush and maybe on the way to me if I could. There was a clearing, so that meant covering both my sniper and my assault rifle to hide it would help me a lot. I could use that to gun them down, whereas they wouldn''t know exactly where I was when I first started shooting. Doing things at night would help out a lot, although once I got shooting, I am sure the Muzzle flashes of my rifle would give me away. That meant I had to get the drop pretty damn hard on them. Also, doing things at night might mean that none of them had armor. There was another approach I could do at night, too. I could go with the stealth game setup and kill a couple without alerting the others. It was high risk in the end if I got caught and a lot more up close and personal, and I was not sure if I could pull it off. I could also create a little dugout for his fight in the underbrush as I brought a small shovel with me to make a little shooting platform as cover for myself. The element of surprise would become a key figure here, and I decided as I crawled back that I needed to make some preparations. I got back after a little bit, and I started to find foliage that I cut up and started to attach things to my sniper rifle. I took dirt and made sure it was a little dirty and tied some twigs to it to break up the rifle''s shape and blend it with the background. Working as quietly as possible, I began to work on the assault rifle and a little on my face. I broke up my face and put some things in my hair to break up the human-looking shape. Then, I grabbed my tools and a shovel and decided to do a little work. Preparations needed to be done, and I had a couple of things to be working on. I had no idea when nightfall would come, but I needed to get information and see if I might be able to ambush someone when they left the clearing to use the bathroom. Oh, maybe even a little distraction or aversion. My smile turned sinister as I started to think about how to take over this place. Chapter 54: Overwatch Slowly, after hours and looking at the Bounty Hunter tablet, I knew that I only had a couple more hours before nightfall. The group of bounties ahead was going to be difficult, and there was more than I wished. I started to make little trip holes in the bushes around where I was firing in case I needed to retreat. Which was highly probable. Digging a little ditch just in the underbrush of a plant, I found the roots made my life a pain in the ass. Breasts also did not help when you had to crawl around properly. For once in my life I understood that none of my submissives ever understood what proper crawling was. Proper crawling was dragging your body across the ground using your arms, legs, and feet to propel yourself forward. Dragging your face in the dirt to keep your head down was a damn part of it too. Now, though, I had a few unseen traps and some markers I set for myself to know where to run. I decided that when I got back to the ship, SILENCERS WERE NEEDED! I needed to find a way to shoot quietly, and I doubted in a future universe, there was not a way to quiet gunshots. These were all things that a seasoned professional gamer like me should have thought of. There was a problem with my thinking, and I found my mind was getting much more engaged as I planned this out. Before, I always had a set number of things I could use in the game. There were options and things I could and could not use because of balance issues, even as the game developers struggled to balance things. This world forgone that and allowed me so many options I didn''t even think about the options and what I could do with that freedom. I needed to think about things, and I hadn''t done that before, which was weird. So many times in Call of Duty Virtual Reality, I thought about these things and wished for more freedom in movement. They continued to balance things, making some things more broken than others. Now, as I dug a hole to give myself cover, I wasn''t even sure I would work in the underbrush to camouflage myself and ensure the enemy could not see me. I realized how much this Tutorial was supposed to make you think. You had to be in a six-month contract and in your own universe where you could die. The main universe did not have permanent death, but the Tutorial did. That made no sense to me until now. This was Gabin Corporation getting you used to the mindset that you needed in the main world. Otherwise, it would be a slaughter fest with you running out and dying and thinking the game sucks. It was like a Newbie running out into the line of fire, thinking he could take a couple of shots. They had no idea of the thoughts that those season players had. You were dying because the enemy was prepared and waiting for you, like in a real damn war, while you were running around proving Darwin''s theory of evolution. This game''s freedom completely would revolutionize PvP and PvE in the main universe once people started to understand this. I needed to start looking into the mid-nineteen hundreds and early two thousand war tactics. IEDs, mines, booby traps, these things were the function that I was looking into. The Vietnam War, the Afghan war, the Ukraine war, World War I, and two would have a lot of information for me to digest. Sure, they might not be the best in a science fiction world with magic. But it would still give me a baseplate for things I could do and protect myself. For now, I made my little dug out and crawled back and to the side to start digging a new trap. I placed a little sharpened stick at the bottom and moved along and put more in. I marked them a little so I wouldn''t run into them and continue to do that for a bit as the sun started to dip on this planet. Finally, I crawled back into my dugout, brought my sniper forward, and looked through the scope to gain more information. Again, I wished for a thermal scope as I looked down the sights and watched that woman from earlier talk to a brown man. The man looked annoyed at her, and it seemed they were cooking. Then I had a thought, and I decided that a distraction would be good. Then I thought about it more as I watched a third blue man come out and look at the previous blue woman with a lecherous smile through the scope. I didn''t have the time and the things at this moment to set up the trap I was thinking of. In fact, I ensured to bring explosives on this trip, and they are in my pack. If I were to bring myself into the midst of their camp, then I would use them. For now, I watched as a fourth dog man walked out of a tent and sniffed the air, and he smiled. He looked at the food and seemed to say something. The brown man smiled, and I settled in to watch the bounties move and interact with each other and kept count as they ate. Something told me this wasn''t the moment to attack, though, and I watched in silence as they interacted more and finished cooking. My stomach felt a little hollow after all the crawling and digging. I moved slowly, pulled some jerky out to feed my character, and watched. Ten minutes of watching turned into a half hour, then into a full hour, then another full hour as they cooked and talked. All of this was without anyone keeping watch, and it felt like they were unplanned for an ambush in the middle of criminal territory. That didn''t seem right, and my gut told me there was a sniper or two out there keeping watch over the camp. I watched people come to the edge of the clearing to do their business and walk back into the camp. I watched and watched as the night started to fall, and their fire was the only light. I saw them start to drink, and then I saw someone new. So far, I have only seen nine people, but now I have seen a new person¡ªa mousy-looking man with large mouse ears. The crew on the ground seemed happy to see him and thanked him as the Dog man slapped his back and smiled; the Mouse guy started to hand him a light-looking sniper rifle, and the Dog man walked away from the camp, heading towards the cliffs, and I grinned. I watched as he headed to the cliff face, and I barely saw the cave he entered through, and I finally had a grasp of the situation. There were ten men and women in the encampment. A sniper that rotated every twelve hours to look out for them. I wasn''t sure what they were here for, but all of them had at least small arms on them at all times. They didn''t look vigilant, but that was because the sniper was watching over them and was meant to be spotting them. The mouse guy was now defenseless while the dog man was on the lookout. I was curious to know if they had a thermal or something on that scope or why they trusted the dog man for the overwatch at night. But they all started to settle in for the night, and I started looking for a way to ambush that dog man without being spotted. The Forest ended a bit of distance from the cliff face, but there was a bit of underbrush to crawl through. I could spend half the night moving into position or find one of the cliff face holes the man would be overwatching from without light. Stolen story; please report. I already made my decision and started to move back. I wanted to move silently and wished for a silencer for my handgun now more than ever. Hopefully, I could find something on my way, but I was not holding my breath. I crawled back, scaping my breasts as I went, wishing I had a chest of steel at this point, but I wasn''t about to complain about it. I loved my proportional breasts and wasn''t about to get rid of them because of a little inconvenience. Intrusive thoughts plagued my mind, but I grabbed my backpack and started to move. It was time to devise a plan, and I started to grab my knife, a couple of grenades, and wire. It wasn''t going to be much, but it was going to be my last round of protection from the bounties I needed to take. I had to do this all in advance and hoped for the surprise and things to kill more of them. Hopefully, they would run, and I could take over this area and set it up for my bounty hunting. I wasn''t about to hold my breath, though. Hope for the best plan for the worst! I grabbed some things from my backpack and put the backpack on my back. I started to move to the furthest edge of the forest, slowly making sure I couldn''t be seen at the edge of the forest and stayed low. It took time, and I almost tripped on many things as I moved in the darkness. I wished for dark vision, thermal vision, or any sort of night vision, but my wishes were fruitless thinking. Taking the long way around, slowly the darkness settled in, and I was feeling tired, or my character was. I wanted to take a nap, but I knew that would be a terrible idea. Instead, I took out some water and drank a little while taking a break near where I would have to start my crawl. I took out some jerky in my dirty hands and consumed a nice portion before getting up and making my way to the edge of the forest by the cliffs. Then, I marked and concealed my backpack. I then started a long crawl. I moved with my head down, unsure of the surroundings, as I dragged my face through the dirt. I moved, barely able to see the plants as they came up, and I tried to avoid moving the bigger bushes. Slowly, Ever so slowly, I moved, and the night wore on. I hated this dragging movement and dragged myself for over two hours. If this was something I would regularly have to do, I would have a hard time playing this game professionally. Still, I would do it; I wanted to do it and needed to do it. My thoughts were running wild, and I thought about my encounter in real life as I took that woman hard. That was an amazing feeling for me, fulfilling some of my darkest desires. It was amazing, and I knew that she was enjoying every moment with enthusiastic glee even as I did horrible things to her. I stopped as I realized my mind was wandering so hard that I started to feel moist below, but worse, I was already at the edge of the underbrush. Now was the riskiest moment, and I lifted my head slowly and felt almost stupid for it. I noticed that there was someone awake, and I heard some strangled cries and moaning from the camp. The other tents seemed to be unmoving, and I decided it was now or never to get to that cave entrance. I slowly got up, and I took my assault rifle off my back. I started to walk and move forward to the entrance of the cave that was a hundred meters away. It was not a short or long distance, but it felt like a huge distance as I noticed a person at the campfire now watching as people played with each other in one of the tents. Realizing I was holding my breath, I took a steady, silent breath as I moved forward slowly. Fifty meters! Forty meters! Thirty Meters! Ten Meters! I made it to the entrance, slowly moving in, and looked around, seeing nothing of note. I was about to take a step forward when I noticed something a bit of a distance in, making me look down. There were cans on a string dangling, and I looked down. Slowly, I moved forward till I found the string and stepped over it carefully. I looked and realized there was another, which I slowly stepped over. I could barely see, and I inched forward into the darkness and saw a light deeper in the cave. I moved slowly forward and stepped over one last string before the light. I slowly looked into the light and noticed that there was just a lighted path headed at an elevation, and I slowly and silently as possible walked up the path. It was lighted now, and I couldn''t see any more traps as I moved. Every portion of this cave was bathed in light at this point by latrines, and I heard someone yawning up ahead. ¡°Ah, Talia must be getting revenge for the other night right now,¡± I heard a man chuckling now, ¡°Lucky bastard. Must think she is going to kill him. How hard she is riding him. Amazing pussy she has.¡± The man seemed to be talking to himself while he bathed himself in the darkness. The lights ended at the top of the elevation, and I realized what they were for and nodded to myself. The Dog man was lying down on the ground watching the forest line. He watched, and I saw him moving his scope slowly. Slowly, Ever so slowly, I moved forward and pulled out my knife. I could not make a single noise. I couldn''t allow him to shoot his gun or make a noise. Not a single sound. No Noise. No Noise. NO NOISE! This mantra continued in my head as I moved forward as slowly as possible till I was right behind him. My feet were right beside him, and I brought my knee toward his back as I brought the knife toward the center of the back of his neck. It was sudden, and the Dog Man jerked as I severed what in a human would be his spine with my knife and exhaled, killing the man under me without him shooting a single shot. His body only jerked once, and I slowly reached down and removed his finger from the sniper rifle, and I disarmed him, taking up the lighter-than-I-thought sniper rifle. My breathing was a little heavier than I thought, and I flipped the man over. I realized that the man looked shocked in death with wide-open eyes. I closed them and took out the tablet I forgot to put away. I snapped a picture for the bounty office and instantly came back with a reply. ¡ª Bounty: Orion Longtooth Race: Dognic Crimes: Assault, Assault with a deadly weapon, Murder Federation Bounty: 5500 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution ¡ª A low bounty compared to the woman, but it never says how many counts of a crime they were charged with. I sighed, pulled the body back into the light, and started to loot it. I pulled out a small handgun and two magazines for the sniper rifle he was using. Looking around for a couple of moments there were also some rations, and I nodded to myself. Now was not the time to start a battle or to eat. Now was the time to prepare, and I walked back into the light, taking some wire, and got to work refurbishing the traps. It was going to be a long night for the bounties. They just did not know it yet. I smiled as I got to work, thinking of a backup plan in case they got up here. One thing I knew was that I wished for more guns to make it appear as if there were more shooters. What could I do in situations like that? My mind was hard at work as I played with a Trap, setting it up to make a more explosive noise just in case they got to the cave. Then I had an extra grenade, and I had a smile on my face as I thought of what to do. Damn, after all the sneaking and stealth shit. I had a fun plan for those bounties down below. I sadistically grinned as I got moving to implement it. Chapter 55: Battle for Camp After another hour of set up and turning off two lights that guided up people coming behind me I finally was looking down into the camp. It seemed that the little base settled in to sleep with one person sitting by the fire on watch. It seemed that they were not content with just one person overwatching their sleep. Or maybe it was the fact that if they didn''t, it would look more conspicuous that they were not watching out for potential threats. I settled in, looked down at the dark tents, and realized just how bad of a base camp this was. There were tents in a circle around a little campfire. Yes, there was some separation, but it was more like they were out here camping instead of being criminals. Maybe there was a purpose for this place that they were staying here for, but I wasn''t sure from what they had been doing. The cliff had caves, and further separation like that would make it hard to be ambushed. Or even ambush people looking to move in. I would never have caught them if it wasn''t for the fact that they were out in the open. It was stupid as they could have made a camp in the caves instead and been much quieter. Make a latrine in another cave; you wouldn''t need to show yourselves. It was stupid, and I wondered why they didn''t. Was this an NPC thing, or was it because it needed to be a certain difficulty? This game had done such a good job of being logical that I had trouble grasping this illogical choice in my mind. I took a deep breath and looked down through the scope of my rifle, ready to execute my plan. It would be as simple as I could make it, and I looked at the red-haired horned man looking out into the darkness with the campfire at his back. He seemed to want to move somewhere, and I saw him taking a step forward. Now was the time, and I watched as he moved to the edge of the forest. I rolled my eyes a little as he started to move to take a bathroom break. I was glad I didn''t have that issue in the game, or things would get awkward fast. I watched as he squatted at the edge of the forest, barely in my vision, and I took a deep breath. I waited a moment and took into account that there was no wind on this night, and the distance was no more than five hundred meters. I had nothing more to take into account, I was sure, and it was the perfect night for killing. I released my breath, my hand steadied, and my finger stroked the trigger a second after my ears flattened on the top of my head. I felt my tail swinging behind me as the rifle slammed my shoulder. Bang! As he took his final moments, the man never even knew what hit him, and the occupants in the tents were awake now. I moved my scope over to the encampment, and that blue woman with the horns came out, and I saw her with some blood on her body. I didn''t care what she had done with her playmate last night as the tent continued to move a little with someone else moving. I had eight more targets, and the woman was looking around for whoever shot the gun and turned to look at me with surprise on her face. My finger hit the trigger, and the rifle slammed into my shoulder as the bullet hit her, removing the top half of her head from existence. The second rifle shot had all of them out of their tents now, and with the body as proof of kills, they grabbed their guns and headed in my direction for either cover or to attack. I was unsure of the reason, but I lined up the mouse sniper I saw earlier tonight, and my finger hit the trigger again as he looked toward the forest and hit him in the lower chest, blasting a hole through where I suspect the stomach to be and he fell to the ground with his intestines visible. ¡°THE SHOOTER IS AT OUR OVERLOOK SPOT! THEY GOT ORRION!¡± A woman''s voice shouted. ¡°PUSH THEM!¡± Another announced, and I grinned as they got too close to the cliff face for me to shoot with my rifle. Instead, I stood dropping my rifle, unpinned the grenade I had left over, and tossed it in their path. They were split up, and in the darkness, I doubted they saw the ¡°rock¡± I threw. And it landed just before a pair of them, and with a small explosion of shrapnel, two more bounties were dead or dying. ¡°Shit! PUSH, PUSH, PUSH!¡± I heard that woman scream. They were at the cliff face now, and I couldn''t see them, but I grabbed my assault rifle from the spot I left it resting, and I prepared to accept my new visitors as I heard the cans rattle. ¡°Take a second, guys; get your wits about you. Must be a bounty hunter,¡± The woman spoke, ¡°Then we move forward, Be careful. They can probably hear us. Watch for movement in the tunnel.¡± Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Fuck! That was smart of them; I was now stuck, hoping for them to move up. I thought about doing something to flank them but all my rope was in the backpack, and there was none up here. Damnit, Such a damn small detail; I was hoping to have them panic run up here, and all it took was one phrase from their leader to throw a gear into the works. I took my time to breathe slowly, and I waited, and time seemed to crawl. I had one more trap for them, and I heard them breathing heavily from the ambush while they were asleep. The surprise was gone now; they were taking a moment to regain their wits, and I had nothing to flush them out. The good news was that they couldn''t go back outside where I could shoot them to get supplies to smoke me out or something. That was always good. Then I heard slow movement from down below, and I sighed in relief as they started moving forward, stepping over their traps. That first rattling of cans was probably deliberate. These criminals were not stupid, but they should have held out a little longer as my sensitive ears picked up their movement and also the moment. ¡°Shit, They!¡± A man''s voice yelled, followed a moment later as my ears pressed against my head again when an explosion happened. They would be reeling from such an explosion, and I moved in and saw three injured people. My gun shot up, and I found my target, and for the first time, I shot my assault rifle directly at people. A three-round burst tore into one, and I turned and did it to the two others as the last woman seemed to have her hands up. ¡°I DON''T WANT TO DIE! PLEASE!¡± She screamed as I held her at gunpoint. She was trembling, and all her associates were dead. I looked at her, and she was a little short woman. I saw her around the campfire and looked at her with a serious expression. Her hair was long and green down her back, and she looked scared as hell as I held her at gunpoint. ¡°Got something to tie yourself up with?¡± I asked. She looked at me confused and looked around, and I continued to hold my gun at her, ¡°Make a move for a gun. I will blast a three-round burst into a lady.¡± I shouted, and she looked at me, confused. ¡°MY EARS ARE RINGING FROM THE EXPLOSION! PLEASE DON''T SHOOT. I CAN''T HEAR YOU!¡± She yelled, sounding odd, and I realized what was happening. And I moved forward, shouldered my gun while putting my gun up to her neck, and looked at her closer. She looked human but not quite, as her skin seemed very moist. It was not like there was a layer of sweat on her skin or something, but it was weird. It didn''t matter. I grabbed her, and she cried out as I roughly grabbed her, ¡°Ah!¡± It was a cry of pain more than anything, and I moved her out of the cave with a gun lodged under her chin to walk. She was very nervous about the gun right under her chin and moved with me. We stepped out of camp, and I walked toward my backpack with her in tow with that gun very threateningly against her throat. She made no move, and about five minutes later, we were at my backpack. I grabbed the rope from my pack and tied her to a tree without the ability to move. Then, I tore into my backpack for the capture collars. I smiled, grabbed one of the more expensive ones, and returned to her. I could see her being scared of the bounty collar, which was essentially a slave collar to her. I wrapped it around her neck and attached it without saying anything. ¡°Now your mine,¡± I told her and stepped back, took out the bounty tablet, and took a picture of her. ¡ª Bounty: Kimmy Greenhorn Race: Half Human, Half Gecko-kin Crimes: Assault, Sexual Assault, Murder Federation Bounty: 7500 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution ¡ª I couldn''t get a good look at her in this darkness, but I had bounties back in the caves to collect and loot to collect and organize. I was also feeling a little tired from the night. It was only about four or five hours in the real world, but I was exhausted. I needed to get out and eat in the real world, too, but not before ensuring I was safe. Those tents and things would be empty now, and everyone knew the occupants were dead now with the bodies. I needed to clean up and ensure wild animals didn''t come for the bodies. I took a moment to untie this woman, and I grabbed my backpack, putting it on my back before ordering her, ¡°Come on, Kimmy, We have work to do, and you are not going to enjoy it,¡± I told her, and she nodded clearly the fear of me very deep in her bones now. Walking back to the camp, it was about time to get started. Kimmy walked before me, looking very nervous, and when I ordered her to start collecting the dead bodies and bringing them over to the cave, she nodded. I wrapped a rope around the man who died in his own filth and dragged him back with a gun pointed at Kimmy. It was going to be a long night. Chapter 56: Base Camp Having free labor that couldn''t say no was really amazing. I had this woman already dragging the bodies back to a Cave not far from the last battle. She was stone-faced as she dragged her criminals to the cave, looking at her potential fate if she didn''t surrender so quickly. That being said, it was still dark out as we finished bringing everyone together. Nine bounties altogether, and I could not help but grin as I took their pictures and looked at the total amount that I made. With eleven thousand credits for the two I knew about, I was surprised to learn that they were not the highest amount. The Mouse-looking guy was actually the highest. When I took his picture, I realized how incredibly good it was to drag myself that way through the dirt. ¡ª Bounty: Jona Joshua Jones Race: DarkMouse Race Crimes: Rape of a Minor, Murder, Torture, Assault, Sexual Assault, Murder of a Bounty Hunter, Murder of a Soldier, Murder of Child, Murder of a pregnant woman Federation Bounty: 23500 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: This Man is a Sniper that has been in war with ten kills. Be warned, Travels with a group of other Criminals. Please Beware of this Criminal ¡ª I was surprised to see such a disgusting person among the people I killed. But I wasn''t sure if this thing was someone that was dangerous behind a scope. It did have more kills than me at this point in time so I couldn''t say for certain. I was also surprised at the lack of a Bounty for someone so disgusting, but maybe that was also why it was so high in the first place. Overall, when I got back from my trip, I would have a stack of bounties behind me and a capture target with my new little slave. I would send her in as I wouldn''t want someone like her around me constantly, but for now, she was extremely useful in cleaning up the base camp. The amount I would make from just the dead bodies in the camp right now was Sixty-two thousand eight hundred credits without my little capture target that was now digging a hole in the cave for these criminals. Kimmy was now using my shovel and looking grim and pissed as she dug the hole as I looted their bodies. It was a lot of random jewelry and things like piercings in places I didn''t care to take. Ammo and guns were helpful, and I was smiling as I looted their bodies and even took intact clothing as I realized I could probably use it as a trap for others in the future. There was so much I could do and so many little things on their body. This was real looting, and it felt weird to loot corpses; as I worked, I realized I got a couple of notifications. Then there was one thing I didn''t understand, but each of them had I on them. It was Black cards that almost looked like credit cards, which I was unsure about. I finally turned to Kimmy as she continued to dig the mass grave. ¡°What are these?¡± I asked, holding up the black cards. Kimmy looked at me while she scooped up more dirt and looked at me after a moment. ¡°They are Black Credit Cards,¡± Kimmy said, ¡°They are exclusive to this forest''s main Criminal Camp. You can purchase things with those cards depending on the credit count on them,¡± Kimmy finished, her voice sounding reluctant, and she was breathing heavily. The hole was clearly still not big enough. ¡°I will take it that there are things you left out, but continue digging,¡± I told her, pointing at the hole. Kimmy looked annoyed and continued digging like a good Criminal slave, unable to refuse because of the collar around her neck. Meanwhile, I continued to loot the bodies and came up with not a lot. It seemed that their jewelry and guns were the most important things. I started to take inventory of what I gathered before I started to take in the surroundings to ensure I was ready to take a nap. I needed to get out of the game and back into real life to eat. Not only that, but I needed to rest my character since sleep was a necessary thing in the game. Ten handguns, all at the 9mm caliber Six assault rifles with a 5mm caliber using different ammo than mine takes. One pump shotgun with electric shock cartridges. One light sniper rifle with 5mm ammo that matches the assault rifles. It was good to have these, and there were a bunch of various supplies and containers that would become useful in the coming days. The fabric of the tents would allow me to set up shop here in the forest, and I could not take all of this with me. First, I would have to set up my base camp and a place to put prisoners out of there. It would also allow me to increase the amount of loot I could carry back. The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Now, with that setup and the bodies stripped naked and ready to be pushed into a hole, I needed to survey the area. With a water source nearby, predators should come by occasionally. Same with the caves, and I couldn''t help but wonder if that was why these criminals were here. Poaching of some type? I didn''t know, but this was a great place to set up, and I needed to start checking out caves. ¡°Continue digging till I tell you otherwise,¡± I told Kimmy, who nodded, unwilling to piss me off. I got up and walked out, taking a light from the previous cave and leaving one for Kimmy. Right now, if I were attacked, I would be in a world of trouble. I was out of position, tired, and didn''t know the area. All my stuff was in an obvious spot, and I needed to survey my surroundings lightly, at least before light. Now, I started surveying, and I found a dozen cave entrances that mostly lead nowhere. Taking my time, I would turn off the light I got when I wasn''t in a cave, and my eyes took their time to adapt. I walked around for hours, not knowing what exactly I was hoping for other than a place to start setting up a base camp properly. The problem I was coming up with was another cave that could be defended easily that also had an exit. Some were deep, but mostly a dead end. It took me almost an hour till I reached the waterfall, and I noticed a cave by some Blue and purple vines that looked darker than it should. In the dark, I saw it but was not initially sure that it was an entrance. When I got closer and looked at the vines, I noticed that the vines went almost all the way up the cliff face and that it acted like a natural camouflage to the entrance, although it was not perfect. Getting close, I pushed aside some of the vines to check if I was right, and I found that I was correct that there was a cave behind it. I pushed the vines aside a little more, making sure to use my sleeve in case they were poisonous. I stepped into the cave and turned on the lantern I had taken from the previous cave. The cave lit up, and it smelled a little of moss. I looked around and found a dark purple moss on the wall and a patchwork of similar mold on the floor. I walked forward, watching the floor just in case, and I tried not to walk on the moss. Walking deeper into the cave, I noticed it go down quite a bit, and it moved toward the waterfall. Then I noticed a small chasm and a little outlet of water that was leaking through the wall into the small pool inside the chasm. It was a little gap in the wall of the cave, and it would provide a nice source of water that I would need to ensure that I boiled before I drank it. Still, I would rather have clean water from provisions. The cave continued and turned sharply not even a meter later and headed up in a sharp direction, and I wondered how this naturally developed. The amount of moss sharply decreased now, too, and I climbed up a little before the cave, then turned to an almost giant staircase. Each step seemed to be about a meter and a half high and maybe a meter or so deep. There were at least three from what I could see in the light I currently had. For a moment, I thought about it and gritted my teeth. If there was no exit, this might be a death trap, but if there were another exit/were other exits, this would be a perfect area to set up. I jumped and climbed up the first step and noticed another step as I got up. I continued to grit my teeth and climb up, and I found myself climbing up the seventh when I found no more steps. Looking around, I grabbed the lantern, and I noticed that there was a crack along the floor of the cave that seemed to be an inch. I wondered what happened to make this cave. I walked forward and checked it out and quickly found a cavern and then a tunnel. The Cavern was a little small but incredibly useful. It was almost a room, about ten meters all around, which was enough for what I wanted to do. This was a damn perfect base if there was a place to look over the area and be able to defend the cavern, plus a backup exit. I took a deep breath and smiled as the air smelled clean in here, too. I looked, and I saw that there was another end not far from where I came in; it dipped down a little and turned a little before I started to smile as I found something that made me smile brightly. Before me, there wasn''t a large chasm where I could look up much, but there was a large crack leading outside as I got on my stomach and looked out. The Crack was half a meter thick and was at least three meters long. The crack then tapered off on both sides, and I could not help but smile. I got up and grinned; this was a perfect base. It was an absolutely perfect spot to set up, and I turned around and started to head back to my criminal slave and stuff. It was time to head back, and my thoughts were now about how to set up the cavern and take all my new things over here. Kimmy would help a lot, but there was so much to do, and I couldn''t help but wonder if sleeping on the rock would be a bad thing or a good thing. Getting back to the cave where Kimmy was still digging took some time in the darkness, and things were starting to light up slowly. It seemed Sunrise would be soon, and I didn''t want to be caught outside. When I entered the Cave, it seemed Kimmy was just reaching the point where the mass grave was large enough for the dead bodies I had accumulated. Kimmy sighed in relief, and I motioned for her to climb out of the hole. ¡°Come on, I found a spot for us to put things down. Push those bodies into the hole and cover it up a little.¡± I said, looking at the mound of dirt that was precariously close to the hole. ¡°Don''t take too long; we have supplies to move,¡± I told her, and she grunted while breathing heavily. Damn, these capture collars were practical. They were Slave collars, and it seemed Kimmy couldn''t say no to me at this moment. She licked her lips and climbed out of the hole as I gathered everything we needed and put them in the containers they brought. It seemed we would need some time to move everything, and once Kimmy dropped half the pile of dirt over the bodies, I motioned and ordered for her to help me move things. It was going to be a long night, and I grabbed my backpack to move things. Strapping on things to her and moving supplies started now. We could make trips into the entrance of the cave, but we also needed to cover our tracks. Damn, this game was more challenging the more I thought about things, and the more I thought about things, the more I enjoyed it. Still, it was complicated. Chapter 57: Pros talk I was worn out and tired as the light of dawn came up. It was a serious amount of labor, even with Kimmy, to bring things up into the cavern I found. Kimmy looked surprised to find the Cavern and looked dark while looking around. There were things that I would have to do to keep Kimmy in control, like make a latrine, but that could come later. There was potential fresh drinking water and a place to stay covered and hidden from the outside elements. Kimmy wearing the slave capture collar allowed me to finally set things up so I could take a break and feed my real body as things were starting to get bad for my SleepyWonder character. Much like in real life, I was yawning involuntarily, and my vision was getting a little fuzzy on the edges, simulating real tiredness while working on gathering things. So, instead of getting really gritty about it, I chained up Kimmy in the corner, ensuring she could not get away while I slept and hit the sack. If something happened, then I wouldn''t even be able to do something about it at this point. My ability to make traps was compromised as my hands started to shake with exhaustion. The place was well hidden, and we were finished before dark. Moving everything in the dark was a pain in the ass, but we finished before the light started to hit the crack. All the signs of the previous occupants of the valley were more or less gone, with the exception of some bloodstains. The lights that were in the cave where I ambushed the sniper were now in the cavern, and the base camp was all just boxes and things that needed to be sorted. For better or worse, I would have to sleep with Kimmy tied up and unable to move or speak in the corner, unable to move an inch. I really didn''t want her yelling in case someone came by to look around. Finally, I set her on a mat from their camp and roped up in a way that would make a masochist blush with desire, and I hit the sack. Logging out after such a long day made my body ache. I had been in the pod for longer than was normal, and I stretched my limbs, feeling a little sore from inactivity. I got up and out, beginning to stretch to ensure I was feeling a little better. I let the pod go at two times the speed because I wanted four hours of rest for my character. I didn''t want to get the character in a nighttime mode because it was so much harder to work at night. Leaving my bedroom as I continued to stretch my limbs, I decided I would spend some time on the forums to see what they said after I got some food going. I quickly walked into the kitchen, put some frozen food out, and turned on the oven. I didn''t need a good meal, but I needed something substantial in order to get back to it for the rest of the day. I was a little worn out from that last day and a half almost in the game. Holy shit, was it much harder to be in the forest. This game was so realistic in ways where you had to fight and battle. The critical hits could instantly kill, and without someone to rely on while you were sleeping, you had to hide and hide well. The best I could have done was set up traps if I was out in the forest and sleeping on a limb of one of those massive trees, which reminded me that there should be something to help out with climbing trees. In fact, I think I need to look up things for sneaky assholes like I want to be to bring with you when going solo in various environments. At this point, I was completely out of my depth in the forest because I lacked knowledge. Thermal scope, or something that could change between various modes, was something I was desperate to purchase when I finished my venture into this forest. Night vision? Thermal? Both would be amazing to have and make me much more suited to sleep during the day and fight at night. This would make me the hunter and much more useful than relying on normal vision. As I currently stood, I needed something to increase my firing range and to produce doubt. My combat style was more suited to those old stealth games that were popular when I was younger than this game. Sneaking around by yourself instead of facing many opponents head-on was much better. But I could see the limits already with around ten or so people. Combat happens fast unless both are in equal circumstances, and I must never allow that. No matter how cheap or dirty I have to play, I must never allow that. My mind was running rampant when I heard the oven beep, telling me it had heated up, and I stuffed the frozen foods I had prepared on a cookie sheet into the oven. I walked over to my computer, turning it on, and I stretched my back out a little, and looked down as I waited. My breasts were in my face, and I started to rock them a little without much thought. I mindlessly bounced them a little when I heard my computer finish logging in, and I opened up the browser and turned on an old forum that pros had set up. The site had finally opened up a forum tab for Galaxy Online, and I was excited. I logged into my account, and my friends list started to ping me as old pro friends noticed I was online. I smiled as I set a timer on my phone and clicked on the new link with pros coming out with some of their takes on the game. I quickly found a link to something I was thinking about recently, too. ¡ª- Do you guys notice how realistic the game is to the real world? PizzaHunter- Hey, Have you guys noticed how realistic this game is? I have been crawling in boot camp for hours to become a damn service member in the military, and I know I am not alone. It feels like the local government is trying to militarize me! Poopinsoup - Yeah, I have damn well noticed. I got brained when hunting my target in my first tutorial playthrough. The freak shot went through a damn hole in the wall I didn''t notice when diving for cover. Linksbelow - Yeah, Headshots are instant death for most creatures in the game. Same with getting hit in the heart. It''s different depending on animals, though. It has been unreal dealing with all the things they teach if you are an actual hunter. Firewalker - The mage academies are theory hell! You don''t want to know! ¡ª- The complaining was real, and most of it was nonsense. I couldn''t help but laugh at Poopinsoup''s plight about getting brained. It was a problem that even I had to deal with, but God, was I thankful I haven''t had to deal with it personally. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. I started looking for more useful information on the site as this was for the pros. I quickly found a forum post about learning new builds for our characters, and I was instantly interested. ¡ª- Brainstorming Builds QueenSniper - Hey guys, so I thought I would start brainstorming ideas. As a sniper, as I know many of you are, I was thinking about the best way to build. Right now, though, I am in a military boot camp and cannot get out, and I think we should all be prepared once we are out of the military training. SniperWatch - I noticed that there is an Elite training camp in my Military camp! Your accuracy has to be insane, but if you hit with 95% accuracy while following orders in the Sniper training camp, you can get scripted! ¡ª I sighed, reading down the forum, and realized it was just a place for snipers to chat. It''s not nearly as useful as I thought it would be. Instead, I turned to my DMs and noticed a friend I had not talked to in a while. I hit up the chat function, and my phone went off, telling me my food was ready. I got up, walked over to my oven quickly, retrieved my food, turned off the oven, and returned to my computer after grabbing some sauce for the plain frozen food I got. I sat back and smiled, starting to read the chat. ¡ª KingSlayer1337 - SSSSLLLLEEEEPPPPYYY DAMN WONDER! You finally logged back on! Are you browsing the Galaxy Online forum too? ¡ª I couldn''t help but reply, and we started to chat as I ate. ¡ª-- SleepyWonder - King Slayer, how are you doing? Ever hook up with Sarah? KingSlayer1337- Don¡¯t bring up something like that! I am Married now! A beautiful Thai woman named Lamai is my life''s love. She is so much better than Sarah, and I would never give her up. Now to real business, Sleepy! Are you playing again? SleepyWonder - Who isn¡¯t? Also, you didn''t invite me to the wedding? KingSlayer1337- SleepyWonder, You''re kidding right? SleepyWonder - lol, Of course. KingSlayer1337- I never know with you! SleepyWonder - Then assume I am being serious! Where the fuck was my invitation! I wanted to have free food! KingSlayer1337- HAHAHA! No, it was just My wife and I, plus close family. Don''t be mad. SleepyWonder - That''s okay, As long as I ask QueenButtercup if she got an invitation she wasn''t invited to. KingSlayer1337- ¡­. SleepyWonder - So I was the only one¡­ KingSlayer1337- I didn''t invite Pickles. SleepyWonder - What did you want to know? KingSlayer1337- Well, I wanted to know what you are up to and if things are going good for you. A lot of pros are struggling with this Ironman mode. SleepyWonder - I was one of those people who stretched the contract before the update. I am playing the hard mode, it seems. KingSlayer1337- Holy shit. I hear that the wider universe is unforgiving. How are you doing? SleepyWonder - For now, I have some things going really well for me. I think the Tutorial is a mindset restarter. KingSlayer1337- What do you mean? SleepyWonder - I mean that you have to think differently. The main game does allow you to respawn, I hear. But the Tutorial doesn''t. Think about the difficulty people are reporting in the main universe. If it is that hard when you can respawn¡­ KingSlayer1337- Are you saying that you have to learn to think of the world like real life? SleepyWonder - Not quite; I gave you enough of a hint. Now you owe me information for such a large tip! KingSlayer1337- ¡­. SleepyWonder - Well? I want something juicy as I think I gave you really valuable information. Plus you didn''t invite me to your wedding. I thought we were close once! KingSlayer1337- You are still the same. SleepyWonder - Yup! Spill the beans! KingSlayer1337- Fine; I am sure that you have gotten offers recently, right? SleepyWonder - I got one that I thought was tempting. I declined it because my sleeping is still profitable. KingSlayer1337- Well, I heard from a little bird that Gabin Corp has something massive coming out to incentivize companies for the Esports part. I would hold off on contracts in the short term. SleepyWonder - Interesting. I was thinking the same, and I have a really good thing going for me. I am going to complete my Tutorial before I make any big moves. No one in the Main universe is currently doing good anyway. KingSlayer1337- All the clubs are back in the Tutorial, too. You are following the mainstream, like me on that. SleepyWonder - Damn, the Main universe is that hard? KingSlayer1337- I heard it is hard to leave planets when you break that contract. It is like playing the game in hell mode with both your legs cut off. No one takes your character seriously, and you cannot get a job with anyone other than Pirates or Criminals. Not many people made it far, and with the One-to-one time frame that isn''t in the tutorial¡­ SleepyWonder - So, results are slow. Well, it was nice touching base, but I am in the middle of a forest in the game. I cannot stay out of the pod for too long. Nice touching base. KingSlayer1337- Don''t be a stranger. People exchange information on the platform, but the more interesting information is shared privately. Talk to your contacts. People are farming content and information to sell. I know you know more people than me. SleepyWonder - Thanks! I guess I will toss you a scrap of info in the future for letting me know. See ya! ¡ª I logged out of our chat and thought about what was said. That was important information, and Kingslayer1337 was a guy named Matthew in real life. We were good friends in the pro world, although we were never on the same team. It was nice touching base with him, and it was nice to hear that he got married. Putting aside my empty plate, I processed the information about Gabin Corporation coming out with something that would make corporations go wild. That meant having an amazing start like I was having with Ura, Emily, and Nyava would be important. I needed to get this playthrough of the Tutorial right the first time, and I turned to look at my clock. It had been an hour and a half, and I wanted my character to have four hours of sleep. I got to work, and I started looking up various traps I could use to be well hidden and Started to read for the last half hour. I didn''t have much time, and when the alarm went off, I got up, walked back to the pod, and logged back in. I was determined to live through this forest and become stronger. Chapter 58: Change of Plans After cleaning up and sighing out of my computer, my time in the real world was up. I had to get back into the pod after letting my character have a nap. I moved with knowledge of new traps and things to work with. I wanted to work while it was all fresh in my mind. I got into the pod after turning off my computer, and I laid back and let the pod lid close, logging me back into the universe. Instantly, I noticed that my character''s back hurt a little and was a bit stiff, and I was surprised to realize that sleeping on the rock was the reason for it. I did not have enough padding, and I groaned as I realized that some things in this game might be a little too realistic. I crawled out of the sleeping bag that I was using, and I slowly got up. Kimmy, my criminal slave, was sleeping all tied up. Now was the time to get started, and I picked up my rifle and moved toward the crack. Four hours had passed in the game world, and things had been sped back up to four times the speed, so I had to check if the coast was clear and then get started. Hopefully, while I was out, nothing came in and made camp. That would be very annoying and problematic. Moving to the crack and checking things out was a high priority, and when I lay down and started to crawl forward a bit, I started to slowly sweep the surroundings. The old camp that I killed in the night was gone, and there was no sign of human habitation as I swept my scope across the clearing. That was a huge relief. At some point in the future, I would not mind someone trying to move in if I was covered and hidden, But not now. I had too much to do, and it was time to get started. So, slowly, I crawled back out and stood. I moved back to the base camp and thought about if Kimmy would be useful right now. I shook my head as I realized that she would not be. The best she could do was dig a latrine for herself to use, which I would rather do at night. For now, I started to gather my tools to start making some traps. First, I needed to deck out the cave with some traps that would make some noise and kill. So I got my things, and I started to head down with a couple of lights to light up the cave as I worked. The place was dark as I started to head down into the cave once again toward the exit. First came the giant stairs, and I wondered what I could do with these steps. Should I put something up to make people think there was nothing up here? Did I have the dark cloth for that? My mind spun as I jumped down the giant steps, and I found myself back on the ground floor of this cave. Now was the time to work, and I headed to the front and looked at the moss. The moss would be my cover, and I got to work using a knife to cut up large chunks of moss without letting it break. The first life folded open, and I smiled as I started digging under where I lifted the moss and started to sharpen the tent poll that I took down with me. After a bit, it was nice and sharp, and I stuffed it into the hole and started on another poll and tent peg. I quickly got to work, and it became a little bit of a pitfall, which I covered back with the moss when done. It was a single trap, and I moved over to another side of the moss and started the same system. My mind was on being a layered defense of the cave. First would be little pitfalls to cut off movement. Take out their feet and slow them down. It wasn''t for the kill but for inducing a debuff if I was in another game. The bleeding effect on their feet would act as if they were retreating in, helping me track them later as well. For now, the moss-covered path would be a path to death where any step would injure or kill you. I made sure to set up at least ten little pitfalls in the moss at the front and moved deeper in. Then I made something much more deadly mid-way in which if you stepped on the moss, it would pull the pin of a grenade with a delay of five seconds. It was for myself and others in case I messed up when running in or if I was running into camp. I could purposefully step on it and run right by if someone was invading, though it would be a distraction or something to kill the back line. Then, I worked on a gun trap and a shotgun trap using the darkness for the element of surprise. It was a single shot on each, but they would be incredibly useful. The biggest thing was that none of the traps were obvious to walk in, and the moss, although not looking as perfect as before, still looked natural but was much more deadly now. It took a couple of hours to do all of this, and I could work on it more later. Instead, the rock path was still clear, and I walked it easily with the lantern light, but it would be much harder in the dark. The initial entrance was to walk down the middle of the cave to the best of your ability and a little bit to the left of the pool of water. If I went to the right by the pool of water, it would activate the grenade. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Then I realized I had some distance and could put a lantern in the cave, and I knew the perfect place and set up a multi-layered trap. This one would be great, and I moved to set it up. It took the longest time to set up, and it was difficult to pull off, but atop the lantern was a grenade to blow up the lantern set up to blow up in five seconds, but that wasn''t all. The lantern without weight would release a reverse lever that would pull a flashbang a bit of a distance away with a flashbang that was set to seven seconds. It would allow me to turn off the lights and blow something up behind me quickly, followed by a stun. Whether it would work was something I could not test, unfortunately, because of my general lack of supplies to do that type of experiment, so I just hoped it would work. With that, my cave was set up for now, and I walked down the rock, barely visible in the dim light provided directly. I would need to check if the light was visible at night, and if it was, then I would disable the trap and take down the lantern. The best defense was no one ever noticed something was here in the first place. So, with the front defense done, I had to go back up to camp and collect supplies for outside. What I wanted most was to set up a place to hear and notify me where I should be looking. The best thing for that would be guns, and I had a large parameter. Then I had a thought struck me that was a bit odd. Maybe hunting during the day was not the best idea when I am by myself. I had collected Kimmy and the rest, but when alone, surprise is necessary. Suppose I worked in the dark. That was when most started to go to bed, and people were on watch. People on watch may go to bed and are vulnerable. These were criminals and not military outfits, and from what I heard, even military outfits sometimes had issues with these things. It would make it harder for people to find me moving in and out of my base camp if I worked that way, too. It was generally a better thing overall moving that way as I thought about it. I could use the daytime to work on things inside the base camp as I brought tools. Before heading out, I could experiment with traps and various other things before dark. I could even take a watch through the crack to see if anyone was incoming. In fact, now that I was thinking about it, this area was a really great camp area for people to set up in. If I made my traps look old or did not set them up, I could maybe make this area into a trap of its own instead. I had old tents, and the small watering hole could even bring animals or predators for me. It was that good of a location, and I was well hidden. My mind was spinning faster and faster as I started up the giant staircase, and I thought about it. The place I was at was a criminal area where criminals gathered. I had a hidden spot where I could watch over people coming and going. I could identify them before they could identify me, and I could sneak out to kill them whenever I wanted to. Wait for nighttime and watch them set up camp and all. The entrance to my cave was very hard to see, and I lucked upon it last night. I could not help but think this was a better setup than going out into the forest on the day where I almost was killed yesterday. I had not reflected that I was almost killed before I knew who was shooting at me yesterday. It was a close battle, and that was with two people. Last night, I killed nine and captured one without them even being able to shoot at me properly. The change of plans was more and more of a good idea than a bad one when I thought about it. It simply did not make much sense not to go this way in my mind. It was the easier solution, and it made sense with my circumstances. All I needed was something to help me see at night, and things would become amazing for me. That was the major thing stopping me from working at night instead of the day. The last thing was if it was a good idea to set up traps outside the cave if I went this route. No, I wouldn''t want to. They would look new, and people would look for me. I slowed my work and looked at Kimmy, who was still tied up lying on a mat, and I realized there was one issue. Kimmy, who was an NPC, needed to use the washroom, whereas I didn''t. I did not want it to start smelling like a bathroom in here. That meant I needed to set something up for her. I put my things down and finally decided what I would do, even though it wasn''t my original plan. Plans change, though, and my thoughts are centered. Yes, I would become a night attacker instead of a day attacker. It may be more difficult, but it was a much better plan than getting shot at; it also took advantage of this fantastic base camp. I finally decided what I would do, so I moved to wake up the criminal slave to start making her dig into the wall down the steps a little so we could make her a place to do her business. ¡°Wakey, Wakey,¡± I said, nudging her, ¡°Change of plans; you need to get to work,¡± I told her with a sadistic smile, holding out a tiny shovel for her to work with. I watched as she shuddered. I was going to make use of this place so much for the next week or so. I wonder how many bounties I could capture or kill in this canyon? Chapter 59: New Group I was lost in thought, thinking about plans and what to do moving forward as I supervised Kimmy as she cut into the cavern. I got quickly bored of that and decided to familiarize myself with the area outside from the crack in the cliff wall. So I got up and grabbed my weapons, moving over to the crack. When I lay down, crawling forward with my rifle and setting up, I quickly realized something. Things change fast. My situation had changed since I last looked out, and I saw a group of people coming and scouting out caves. There was more than I expected as I saw three guarding the tree line and five scouting out various caves. They were even slowly making it to my cave, although it was in question if they would. But they stopped when they found the cave that went a bit back that I found last night. It didn''t have an escape, but that seemed fine for them. One of them whistled, which looked like a woman, and I brought my scope to bear on her. She was an older-looking woman with creases on her face. Her complexion was slightly darker and was definitely human. She barked orders at the others, and I was tempted to shoot her here and now to kill their leader. But not at this time; I could see them carrying large backpacks, and some were starting to set up some traps in the treeline, it seemed. It was interesting to know that I wasn''t the only one who thought that traps were a good way to go. Still, my mind turned to more things I could do as I watched them move in. Tonight, I would attack before they explored the area more and potentially found my cave, but for now. Suddenly, as I watched, I realized many things about traps and how useful they were. They were a surprise mechanic in the game, just as in real life. Watching them put down traps in the forest, I realized how useless they were. Or I should say how useless they were against someone who watched them get placed. Another thing was how long it took to place down good traps. It took time and effort, and that was something I would have to pay attention to. They seemed to put down something like Bear traps more meant for bipedal species out in the brush. It was a thick foliage, and hard to see anything in. Then they came back and started to move into the cave while some others started to set out some equipment outside the cave. I quickly realized that they were cooking, and I wondered if they were criminals or not. There was nothing that yelled criminals from them, and it was something that I would have to look into. The Bounty database needed the tablet, and it was incredibly difficult to use the scope. Already, I learned so much about bounty hunting while on this trip, making it invaluable. I was sure there were devices that would make up for this that I could buy. And I will buy them when I have the chance. I wanted back into the pros, and when I got out into the main universe from the Tutorial, I wanted at least a basic set of gear ready to go. Now, with people moving in just outside my home, I would have to confirm and play around that. That meant settling in and watching as they set up base and gather more data. I took my time watching them set up everything over the hours as the night slowly started to creep up, and I started to get hungry. I started to gather what I learned in my head before I pulled out of the crack. First, the Human woman was the leader of the group. They wore no uniform, but that did not mean much. There were more than just her, though, and each was armed. It was a group of armed men and women, and there were at least four assault rifles. One massive weapon on them that I didn''t know what it was, and the woman carrying it looked strong. She looked like a threat with four arms to carry it. It was definitely a heavy weapon, and I think the four-armed woman was the only one who could carry it. The woman looked like a white, thick-skinned barbarian with a large bandolier across her chest and massive breasts. She was a bipedal, too, but did not look like Appo, who had his arms all centered around the front. Instead, her second set of arms came more from behind to move forward. It was odd to see, and the woman seemed to carry the large weapon effortlessly. Honestly, as I watched her, I wanted her over Kimmy, who continued to chip into the cave wall at this time with a small shovel. The woman looked built and ready to fight. She had an angry sneer and was almost primal. I watched the entire group, and none of the rest really stood out. Five women, four men with plenty of ammo. Their camp seemed odd to me as they were setting up. Someone started to bring out more and put their tents and things to sleep more at the edge of the cave instead of deep inside. I would do the opposite if I wanted to set up a camp in that cave. Instead, it was more like they were using it as a choke point to keep things in instead of a safe space to sleep. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. They continued to set up as the sky started to turn dark, and the purple and blue trees and foliage started to turn dark. I watched then as the situation changed when suddenly, five new people walked out of the forest heading toward the camp. In tow of those five people, each with whips and large rifles were weak-looking men and women in chains. They all had on collars, and I realized that I got myself a group of Slavers, maybe. None of the men looked fit, and one seemed to be thrashed to the point his life might be in danger. He was coughing, and six people were in chains as they were brought to the cave entrance where they were setting up camp. The leader looked over the new people and seemed to be yelling something, while the five who showed up seemed apologetic. It seemed that something happened, and someone messed up, which left them with a smaller-than-average haul or something. And I looked over the situation, startled and not knowing what to do. There were now thirteen people, and I was pretty sure they were criminals. They looked like it, and the slaves did not seem like criminals. They were partially clothed and looked abused. I wanted to say that I was now absolutely sure that these people were Criminals I could bounty hunt. Unfortunately, I could not be sure as I had a little criminal slave behind me at work. I watched and watched a bit more as the sky started to move toward darkness and planned. I planned what I would have to do and the supplies I would need. It would not be much, but the grenades would be vital. Finding out where their spotter was, and any hidden watchers was a must. As the night grew close, I Finally saw it. A man and a woman walked out of the Cave. One was a man from the group bringing back the captured people, and he was a yellow-looking dude. He carried an assault rifle on his back and a handgun on his waist attached by a belt. On the other hand, the woman was a bit green with nice C or D cup breasts that had a bandolier on them. I saw Shells of some type through the middle with a shotgun and a rifle attached to the backpack she was carrying. They both moved to the cave, where I killed the last spotter with the last group. Watching as those two moved toward the farther cave I had assaulted the night before, I realized that their position complicated things slightly, as that meant they were on the opposite side of the camp I was at. I would have to crawl past their camp to get there. That complicated things a lot, and the shotgun on the back meant that she would have close-distance coverage that could make me shudder. Shotguns were always strong at close distance in video games and weak at distance. That was not true for real life, though, depending on the type of shot you were using. I was worried about shotguns in this game. My personal shotgun only worked in close range as it was sawed off and not meant for any range. I would have to consider that shotgun when I went to kill them. I watched them enter the cave. I killed that Dog guy and Captured Kimmy the other night. I watched, but I never saw them start to overwatch, although the angle to see her come out wasn''t great, and the night was starting to settle in. Crawling back, I grabbed my guns and walked back to the cave with Kimmy, lost in thought. It would be a long night, and I would need to learn if those were bounty hunters or Criminals. I wasn''t a hundred percent sure who they were, but they looked more criminal than otherwise. But then again, looking at Kimmy now breaking into the stone of the cavern with a small shovel. ¡°Kimmy, you can stop and rest,¡± I told her as I watched sweat drip from her body, and she nearly collapsed from the hours of work. ¡°T-Thank you,¡± Kimmy gasped, ¡°C- Can I have water?¡± I tossed her a portion of water as I started to pull out things to cook and drink from the supplies. I needed to get my food and water level higher; then, I would go play more of this fascinating game. I would have to plan my attack, which was the hard part. Maybe I could set up a trap for them just outside their camp so I could kill a few while I moved to attack the watch in the last cave. There was a problem with all possible ways of attack that I could think of. It was the separation and the fact that two people were overwatching instead of one. I wondered if the base camp was going to have guards themselves. It would be a very hard night ahead, and I looked at the cooking I was doing with my loot from the night before. It didn''t take long, and my mind barely paid attention as my slave watched, anticipating food. I finished up, passed her some food, and ate the majority myself as I drank water, thinking about my attack. The night is coming in, and I would need to find out their final plans for the night. I finished my food and picked up my things to do a final scout. I would at least find out if they were criminals or Bounty Hunters tonight. If Criminals, I would attack. If Bounty Hunters, I did not know. Grabbing my guns, I pointed Kimmy back to the bed as I took the shovel, ¡°No leaving your bed,¡± I told her, ¡°Keep your mouth shut unless I say otherwise,¡± I barked a second order as my mind spun. I laid down and went back to final scouting as the sun no longer illuminated the sky. Chapter 60: Rat I had made my plans, and it was time to move forward. Leaving the cave, I slowly crawled forward toward my first goal, which was simple. Confirm they are Criminals, not bounty hunters or some other organization. Once I confirmed that I could move forward with either killing them or watching from a distance. I was still determining what I would do. I was wondering if there was a social stigma against those who took out other bounty hunters or stole their marks. It was something I should have asked about, and I wondered if there were measures against it in the system. What I did have were plans for if they were criminals. My base was secure, it felt like, and walking past my own traps in the little light I had left to guide my feet was fine. Exiting was easy as I was far from where their base camp was in regards to this small valley. I had excellent coverage of them coming in, and I watched them for a time. The biggest issue would be if they had another guard covering the front and one on the inside that kept talking to each other. That would also be true if the two that were supposed to be overwatching did the same. Frankly, I needed the element of surprise no matter what I did. I needed it more than ever, and I had plans only related to that. I could not win a firefight in the long term as they had more people than I did. That meant any traps and plans would have to work for me to win, or at least a portion of my plan had to work. So now I found myself slowly creeping up using the cliff face to keep myself from being spotted as easily. I already ensured to use the local plants to make a makeshift ghillie suit, but it was far from prime. All it really did was break up the human shape a little. It worked in video games, or at least the old ones that I used to play. The Ghillie Suit made it much harder to see someone inside shrubbery and various foliage. With that hope in mind, I slowly crept up along the cliff wall to keep out of the sniper''s sight. I never saw a guard outside the main camp cave, so I hoped I could have a good time without having to crawl for hours. That didn''t mean I would not have to get to the ground soon. As I traversed the area, I quickly came up to the base camp, and I was down with my face in the dirt, slowly bringing myself closer. I heard a sigh as I crawled outside the fire¡¯s light; by a good distance, they seemed to have set up at the edge of the cave with the smoke heading out of the cave. That was incredibly stupid, as it was a carbon monoxide issue. My eyes narrowed as I might be able to use that to my advantage later. ¡°Fuck, What happened to the others?¡± I suddenly heard from the cave. ¡°Don''t know. They were supposed to be here, but you know them. Probably lost their communicator.¡± Another voice said. ¡°Yeah, Well, we had a message that at least One bounty hunter came in the other day. They make things complicated around here. I haven''t heard anyone who has taken them out either.¡± The first voice grumbled again. ¡°Yeah, Stupid fuck even came in on a taxi letting everyone and their mothers know they were coming to this place, but we didn''t catch them?¡± I heard the second voice chuckle, ¡°I guess the usual snipers were caught off guard at the suddenness of their arrival and missed.¡± The second voice mocked, and my heart dropped. They were talking about me! My face was in the dirt crawling by, and I knew that they were talking about me! They had to have been, and I must be stupid for coming in like such. Running headfirst into an area that I don''t know. But how did they know I was going to be arriving? The person who owns the AI cabs is tipping them off? More questions than answers hit my head at once, and I knew it was not my crew. They were either Ura or Slaves that had no ability to rat me out. No, it had to either be the Taxi company or something in orbit watching the forest for people entering. It was the only thing that made sense. Actually, there was one more that I suspected the least was the mall, where I purchased a bunch of things for entering the forest. That would be killing a customer that would repeat when they went out again. No, my suspect was mostly on something in orbit or the AI taxi cabs in this world. For now, I was just outside their vision, crawling along the ground slowly in the darkness. ¡°Sigh, I doubt they moved since those guys are pretty lazy, and that Mouse-kin had fantastic spotting ability during the day. Great for picking up little shits that enter this forest without much thought.¡± the First Voice lamented. ¡°Bah, He was good but also arrogant as fuck. He thought too much of himself!¡± The second voice said as I was reaching the other side of the cave. ¡°Besides, Now we won''t have him finishing one of the cute slave girls we have to sell each time along with that Sadistic Bitch. We had too much wastage between the two of them. Still, It is concerning that they are not in the valley. Unless something big happened, they wouldn''t leave without some trace other than the shit we found at the edge of the foliage.¡± I could hear the suspicion in that person''s voice, and I understood now why there were two people on watch. They must be with the prior group and were to rendezvous today. I cleaned up well enough, it seemed, and this was the rest of Kimmy¡¯s gang. I would have to double-check, but that was what made the most sense. If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°Still, Boss telling us to double up is too much. I want to be in Tamerial¡¯s position to hang out with Emma,¡± The First voice continued to find things to complain about, ¡°She is such a slut and has such nice breasts. I am sure that Tamerial is at least getting some head while they are on the lookout.¡± ¡°Mmm,¡± the second voice seemed to agree with the grunt, ¡°Fine,¡± the voice suddenly said as I was getting farther away now, ¡°I am jealous too, but she is fucking crazy too. You never know what she is going to do. Now, though, for the love of god, Shut the fuck up or do something other than complain. We have all night, and I really don''t fucking want to hear it,¡± The second voice now complained, and I could understand him. I was just so damn happy to hear the information they gave. It meant a lot to me and made me smile. They went silent, but it wasn''t like I could stop slowly crawling. In fact, I went even slower because they were not distracted. Nothing good came out of their mouths anymore as one continued complaining about something when the other would shut them up. It was annoying but served as my entertainment as I finished crossing their base camp to the other side. My main starting objective was on my side now, and I started to get up and move again. I was as quiet as I could be moving with the small amount of supplies and the guns that I brought with me. It did not take long for me to reach the cave that I had killed the last spotters in just the night before. I sighed with relief as I finally reached the destination. I reached the mouth of the cave, and I looked inside and checked for traps. My night vision was still around because I never looked inside the camp area where the fire was. I saw nothing, but that didn''t mean there was none. So I moved slowly, scanning and checking as I moved deeper. As I started to reach the incline, I noticed a light where they should be spotters, and I smiled. That might injure their night vision, and I slowly moved up and also realized that I would have to move into the light as I turned the corner. Then, as I was about to come into the light to look, although anyone behind me would see the shadow, I heard something. ¡°Fuck, these nights are boring,¡± I heard a woman¡¯s voice whine. Her voice was almost crystal clear and was very feminine. It was not a voice that I expected to belong to a criminal. ¡°Tamerial, I got a juicy idea,¡± She suddenly said, her voice full of suggestion. ¡°What is that Emma~?¡± I heard the man ask suggestively. ¡°Oh, You know,¡± Emma replied a moment later, ¡°I have a hole that needs a rifle inside, and I wonder if you would like to shoot a bullet or two inside?¡± Emma asked. That was not subtle in the least, I thought as I heard a chuckle from further in. ¡°Well, I have more than an assault rifle worth of bullets stored in my rifle. Only if I can fire off the entire clip will I be happy,¡± The man said, and I heard a chuckle coming from the woman already. ¡°If you can last that long, then I ensure that my interior can take it. To make it even sexier, I will keep watch outside while you do it!¡± Emma insisted, and I heard some movement. ¡°Oh yeah, down a little more. More, There!¡± I heard Emma say, and I knew now was not the time. ¡°You little fucking slut,¡± I suddenly heard the male say, ¡°You are fucking dripping down here; there is a damn sting to your fucking shorts!¡± He cried out, surprised. ¡°Shut the fuck up and stick it in me; I want to feel it already,¡± Emma moaned, and a second later, I heard her, ¡°Ah~! You got the biggest cock of the group!¡± She cried out a moment later. Then started the rhythmic pounding of sex. ¡°Oh yeah! Right there!¡± She continued to cry out, and I began to slowly move up as I heard the rhythmic slap of two bodies meeting. I turned and saw a Yellow man with a good-sized seven-inch dick or so slip out, and the man put it back in just as I turned the corner. He slipped it back in, and she moaned at the reinsertion as she tried to keep it together while looking down the scope. Her legs spread, and her juices were already starting to show; I watched for a moment as I slowly crept up. SLAP, SLAP, SLAP! AH~! AH~! AH~! YEAH~! RIGHT THERE~! FUCK ME~! It continued, and I knew the moment to strike and got everything ready. I slowly pulled out the tablet. I tried to take a picture as they fucked, but nothing was coming up on the bounty hunter database with just the guy''s ass and her pussy getting fucked. That was a shame. I would have to knock them out instead, and I only brought one slave collar. That was an oversight, and I decided that I might as well keep the girl around as she seemed more interesting. Not that I wouldn''t mind some cock once in a while. Just not from a slave at this point in time. I was feeling dominant! I pulled out my handgun and slowly crept up, and the guy''s legs were shaking, and he was moaning loudly. ¡°Ah, Almost there Slut~! Almost there~!¡± He cried out. ¡°GIVE IT TO ME~!¡± She cried out, and I wondered if the other camp heard her. ¡°AH~!¡± He loudly moaned as his legs trembled and his cock thrust semen into her, and that was when I struck the back of his head. He went down like a sack of potatoes and like he passed out from cumming too hard. ¡°Oh, I can feel it coming inside me~!¡± Emma moaned, ¡°I can feel it~! MMMmmmm,¡± She moaned some more, ¡°You out?¡± She asked a moment later, and I pushed him aside and suddenly snapped a collar around her throat and grinned. ¡°Huh?!¡± ¡°Shut the fuck up; you will not speak unless ordered otherwise,¡± my voice snapped out in much more of a whisper, and Emma instantly shut up. She looked up at me and down, stunned into silence, and then the order kicked in, and she seemed to want to yell. Then the slave collar took control, and her eyes widened as her body started to shake, and I could see the pain in her eyes. ¡°You are luckier than your partner, Emma,¡± I said, my voice calm, ¡°He got a pistol to the back of the head,¡± I said and noticed the man was bleeding from the back of his head. ¡°Let us check if there are any bounties on you?¡± Emma¡¯s eyes widened, but she couldn''t yell or do anything, and I reached down and pulled the rifle from her hand before she thought of it. ¡°Also, no, shooting your gun or making noise in any way.¡± I clarified, and I could see the dread as she looked at the rifle she was holding and how she went from the euphoria of a good fuck to being captured as someone¡¯s slave. It must have been like whiplash for her.

Proceed with Caution. ¡ª Emma Volenski? And one-quarter Twimmer? What is that? ¡°Good girl smiling for the Camera, Emma,¡± I said with a smile, and I turned the unconscious man with his cock out with semen and pussy juices all over it and took a picture of him. ¡ª Bounty: Tamerial Mystiron Race: Silirus Crimes: Multiple assaults with deadly weapons. Grand theft, Grand theft with the intent to kill Federation Bounty: 13000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution. ¡ª ¡°Tamerial and Emma,¡± I said, looking down at the both of them. Emma was still looking up at me, shocked into disbelief at what was happening, her mouth opening and closing dumbly. I looked at Tamerial, and I wondered what he stole and if I could get my hands on it. Was it worth keeping him alive? I thought about my gear and the fact that I had Emma caught with a collar. She was my little slave now, but she wasn''t going to be obedient, I think. She was stunned in shock, and I could see her wits coming back about her. Her eyes were narrowing, and I looked around the room and noticed a rope. It was tied to a rock, and I realized what it was for. It was to toss down in case something happened at the base of the cave, and they could not escape. This was perfect for me, and I decided to see if Tamerial was holding something I could bring back with me later. The man had a small bleeding wound on his head, but I didn''t care if he died. He was wanted dead or alive, just like the rest of these criminals, and I was making cash here and now. I moved over, grabbed him by the legs, and pulled him toward the rope as Emma watched. ¡°No talking, no moving until I tell you otherwise, Emma,¡± I warned her as I noticed her try to move, ¡°That means no making noise either,¡± I warned her again, and I finished bringing Tamerial over to the rope. I took only a couple of minutes before I hog-tied the man and bound his fingers together. It was a pretty insidious rope job, and I had enough rope left over to give him a bra. It was fun, and I enjoyed doing him up, and I turned to Emma, ¡°Stay here, quiet and not moving. No noise of any kind,¡± I told her, ensuring my orders, and I picked up their weapons and walked away. It was walking back down to the bottom of the cave; I decided to check out the shotgun and wanted to whistle. It was a pump action meant for busting in close quarters. It would have made the perfect thing for me if it were auto. IT was just too large this time. But with an assault rifle, it might be better for me to use just this time. I could swap it out and use the eight cartages that were inside it. My fingers glided along the gun, and I winced as I realized the quality of the gun was subpar, or it was just old. Over time, some micro fissures worked their way into the shotgun''s steel, which wasn''t good. I disliked the feeling of this subpar shotgun in my hands, but I knew it would work if I needed it tonight. So, as I reached the entrance of this cave, I put down my rifle just in the grass beside the cave and strapped the shotgun to my back instead. I didn''t have anything to break up the shape unless I undid what was attached to my rifle. It was fine for now, and I started to move and think about what I was going to do with the main attack. One of my biggest worries was that these were bounty hunters. But now I knew it was all part of the same group, and it was good that I killed the previous group when I did. Still, I was outnumbered in this, and I didn''t want to get killed. No, I would set up some traps for the next group and work from there. I felt good at the moment as I never realized how stealthy I actually was. As I neared the cave the next group was in, I got to the ground and started to crawl against the ground. I grabbed my shovel, and I started a bit away from the light. This was the more insidious trap I had in mind, and it would take some time. ¡°You know,¡± I heard from the cave, ¡°I want to go over and see Emma,¡± The guy that was talking last time said, and I heard a frustrated grunt from the other guy. ¡°Honestly, Shut the fuck up, You just want to get your rocks off. The slut right now is with Tamerial. I am sure that tomorrow night you will be posted with her. She will ask you to mount her then. Okay? Please, For the love of the stars, SHUT THE FUCK UP!¡± He cried out, and I could hear the frustration from the guy I couldn''t see. I was in the middle of hooking up a string to a pin, and I winced. I really hoped that he didn''t let the dipshit out of his hold. I was in the middle of crawling over and sticking a tiny metal hook into the ground that almost looked like a tent peg. Someone tripping over this string would pull the pin on this grenade, which would cause a nice little ruckus on this night. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. I crawled back and wished I had some claymores from Call of Duty right now. It would allow me to set up a sweep if I had enough, and I could shoot them down and pin them inside. Then I could lob grenades into the cave, and there would be nothing they could do. ¡°Fuck, her tight hole is always so juicy,¡± That voice complained again, and I moved toward the center. I stopped and made a hold quickly with a string attached to that same tent peg as the string was coming to an end. I attached another grenade and heard, ¡°You know what, I think I am going to go to the bathroom for a bit.¡± That voice said, and I winced and started to move. ¡°Okay, Tyler, I am only going to say this one last time,¡± The second guy said with clear restraint, ¡°I, Am, Not, Going, To,Cover, For, You!¡± The voice said, ¡°I am serious here; if Alexus wakes up, sees you are gone, and asks me where you are. I know where you will be, and I will tell her that you went to Emma to get your dick wet despite it being Tamerials turn. We all know it is his turn because Alexus put him with her. So, Tell me, Where are you going?¡± This Emma slut was getting on my nerves because of how much of a slut she was for her group. Holy shit, the other guy couldn''t keep it in his pants for her. I was surprised by how well-known it was in the group. The way I heard it, though, Emma didn''t think she was being that obvious about it. Or maybe it was some game they played; either way, I wanted to sigh. I moved barely to the center when I heard the Tyler guy sigh, ¡°Nope, I gotta go to the bathroom,¡± He said, and I froze. I paused all movement, was still in the dark, and heard movement. ¡°Better be going to the bathroom and coming straight back; our watch is over soon,¡± The second voice said, his voice full of exasperation. I watched with wide eyes as someone came out from the darkness, and it was another yellow-looking guy with an assault rifle slung on his back. He walked out and made a nice silhouette of himself out toward me with the fire, and I paused. I kept chanting in my head that I hoped he would go away from the sniper posting. I hoped to go, but he did, as there were two grenades he could trip at once, which would be a waste. I watched as he stretched, and I saw him reach down into his tool belt; I reached down and grabbed my handgun. I clicked off the safety, and he turned on the flashlight. It didn''t seem to work the first time, and I watched him grumble; he hit it twice, and I saw him flash himself as the flashlight turned on and he looked down at his feet. Then I saw the large bulge in his pants and knew he was going to the sniper post. There was no way about it, and I contemplated for a second as I saw him turn in that direction. Fucker wanted to let his rocks loose, and I made my decision. My handgun came up to the position, and I watched him take a step toward my grenade traps, and my finger pressed on the trigger. BANG! To my happiness, despite the distance, it hit him in the center, and his head had a fresh hole in it. I didn''t have time to admire the hole I just put in his head as I heard a curse, ¡°Did you just discharge your rifle?¡± I heard from the second guy, and he brought himself out of the cave as I heard half a dozen others start to grumble. I turned to watch the second guy as he stepped into the light. BANG, BANG BANG! My finger stroked the trigger, and the guy got hit twice, ¡°ATTACKER!¡± He coughed and tried to flee. BANG! BANG! This time, the two bullets ended his life. I wanted to curse as I heard movement and people heading my way. I grabbed at my assault rifle and, brought it forward, and quickly got it in place, and I heard voices. ¡°Don''t go out,¡± I heard a woman¡¯s voice, ¡°Onto comms!¡± She cried out, and I realized what was happening. This was not good, and that woman was bringing clearance to the group of people on the other side. I killed four people, but that left another seven. Seven on one, and they didn''t know where I was yet. Suddenly, I could only hear murmurs, not their conversations, which meant they were on comms. This was the worst world for me to be in. I reached for a grenade while watching and holding the rifle, ready to shoot. I brought the grenade up to where I could easily throw it and waited. Then I saw someone peek out the corner. I turned and released a three-round burst as someone stepped out lightly and threw water onto the fire, dousing the light we were all using. The world suddenly went dark, and I heard a yelp, ¡°Fuck, I was hit,¡± A man''s voice said, although I wasn''t sure if that was true. My night vision was gone from staring into the light, and I pulled the grenade as I closed my eyes. I started to hear some movement and tossed the grenades in their general direction. Spots were still in my eyes, but I could see and hear movement, and the flashlight from the previous guy was still on. The flashlight fell in a good way, highlighting people coming out of the cave. And I saw someone coming out, and they were moving together. They were moving as a unit and didn''t know where I was yet. I didn''t see any flashlights, but I closed my eyes, knowing the inevitable. BOOOOM! A second later, just before I was about to open my eyes. BOOOM! BOOOM! The grenade I put down not long ago blew up, and I heard screams. I turned, and someone turned on their flashlight; I was shocked, and I saw two or three people with missing limbs crying out. I turned to the source of the light. I aimed and ripped a burst of rounds into them before standing up. I backed off from my rifle as I heard people turn and start to shoot at the ground where I was. I pulled at the shotgun and moved toward the explosion and the flashlight. It was Mayhem, and I knew not what was happening. I knew at least seven, maybe eight, were down, and I saw another flashlight turn on. I could hear my heart in my ears as it thumped harder than ever as I was freaking out and almost panicking. I turned in the direction of the flashlight, and it was looking where I just was, and I aimed my shotgun in the general direction. I pulled the trigger and quickly pumped the shotgun as soon as I could as I heard a scream and released another round. ¡°Bitch! WHO THE FUCK IS THAT!¡± I heard that woman cry out in anger, and I turned to the voice as I was pumping the shotgun. She was close by, and I released a round, and suddenly, I saw something dark moving toward me. ¡°FUCK MY LEG!¡± I heard someone scream but was too busy watching the dark thing move at me. I didn''t know what it was, but I ducked and tried to dodge something darker, and it slammed into my shoulder. I coughed and let go of my shotgun, and someone turned on their flashlight again. I saw the woman in command with the butt of her rifle at me and smiling, and I was still reeling from the hit to my left shoulder. I couldn''t pump the shotgun in this range, and I looked to where the light was as I tried to stumble back more and realized the person with the light was behind the woman attacking me. I watched as the butt swing missed, and I let go of my shotgun as the woman moved to bring the rifle back into her hand, and I pulled out my sawed-off shotgun. BANG! BANG! Something hot and hard hit my arm, and the woman looked at me with her eyes wide as my sawed-off blew a hole in her chest. The person behind her looked ready to shoot, and I brought my aim over a little and hoped this shot worked and pulled the second trigger despite the pain I was feeling. I lost my balance a moment later, feeling myself topple toward the ground as cries and screams filled the night. As I fell, I didn''t know if I succeeded or not, but if I didn''t, I was fucked, and a moment later I hit the ground hard. Chapter 62: Picking up the Pieces Fuck, it hurt. I groaned, and I realized I passed out. Stars in the sky shined down on me, and I heard groans as I started to get back to myself. Flame and pain hurt on the left side of my body. I slowly got on my side, pushed myself up, and looked around. Flashlights lit the ground partially, and I was in pain. Some moans of pain came from around me, and I slowly got myself up on my good arm. I quickly grabbed some shells in my left hand, which stung like a bitch whenever I moved. ¡°URGH,¡± I grunted as I reloaded the sawed-off shotgun, and I continued to pick myself up and look around. The warzone that I fought in was filled with the smell of blood and propellant. There was another terrible smell, and as I got up on my feet and put my shotgun back. I could quickly pull it again if need be, but I needed vision first, and I made my way over to the initial flashlight I remembered. I took only a couple of steps before I stepped on something round, and I looked down to see a dismembered limb. I almost reached from looking at it, and I coughed. Holy shit, A little too fucking realistic, Gaben Corporation. This was a little too much gore, and if a child ran into this?! That thought in my head, and I couldn''t help but chuckle as I realized it was a mature game. This allowed anything and everything, and I was enjoying this overly realistic setting until a moment ago. But holy shit, this battle went bad for me. I barely survived and stepping over a severed hand and limb was something that I could say I was happy about. I got over to the dead body, picked up the flashlight, and sighed. This fight was a brutal one, and as I turned around and looked over what had transpired, I almost lost my lunch. The ground was littered with bodies. Four people had died from those grenades that I had planted beforehand. A staggering amount more than I thought it would. I was hoping for two, maybe three, but I expected one. But now, with three of them missing limbs and the fourth with a shrapnel wound through the head looking at me without an eye, I shuddered. God, the damage, and I looked around, and with the two up in the cave, that was thirteen. That was all the bodies that I counted during the day while watching them, with the exception of those bringing the chained people. I grunted, moved around, and realized I had a huge mess to clean up. I surveyed the people littering the ground, and some I was sure were dead, like the body beside me. The bullet through the brain meant that I was sure. But I found my handgun in the grass, and I moved to pick it up. I didn''t put it back in the harness correctly and dropped it when I stood. I reached down, picked it up, and walked over to a couple of the more questionable bodies, and I put a round in the head just in case. I walked to each body shot once and ensured they were all dead. One was gasping with organs and parts of their body flooding out, and putting a bullet in their head was a mercy. The night turned quiet with the last bullet, and I sighed. This was too close of a battle, but I was the winner once again with a new battle wound to go with it. This was a lot harder of a game than I thought. The realism was off the scale, and it was an enjoyable escapade. I took a deep breath, and it hurt as I knew the bullet was inside me. I was hit at least once, maybe even twice. I was surprised at how fast the battle went, and I thought back to the cave. There were two things now. I needed helpers, and I had that slut back in the cave collared. Her friend was tied up and would remain so. I would make her come and help clean up her friends and clean this up in the few hours we could. I also needed to start cleaning up and bandaging this wound. With my mind throbbing with the pain, I got a plan. I wanted to check what was inside that cave, but for now, I have other things to be doing. Who knew what else could be attracted by the sound of gunfire? Then, there would be the smell of bodies not long later. I needed to move, and I raised the flashlight with my one good hand and started to walk to the overlook. It only took a minute to walk back, and I got inside the cave and the man who was still alive was yelling something into the gag while the girl watched, unable to act toward the man. She looked at him with an expression I couldn''t read as I approached the corner. Then she saw me, and her face turned to me, and shook her head. ¡°You, Emma, I have a battlefield to clean up. I killed all your associates; you are the only survivors,¡± I told them, my voice cold, and both looked at me shocked. The man was wide-eyed, looking at me. I turned to him, and I looked at him, ¡°If you want to live, then you better shut the fuck up and sit there tied up. Emma, follow me,¡± I ordered, pointing at the guns, ¡°Bring those with you. No finger touching any of the triggers,¡± I ordered, and she nodded. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. I could see her frightenedly following the orders, picking up what I had left behind. She followed me with her arms full, and I watched her a little as I stumbled forward. Emma caught up quickly, and I noticed that she did have a juicy ass. I could tell how others would be tempted. I ignored that for now and took the flashlight to look at the wound finally and noticed that I had been shot once around my heart. Obviously, it did not hit the heart, but that did not mean it wasn''t close to an instant kill. Armor after this hunt was going to be something that I needed. I don''t care if it is fucking light, I NEEDED it. I was learning more and more on this trip, and I should have taken Ura up on the offer of armor. Now, I realized more than ever how much I needed it. This was bad as I was really close to dying this time. I moved with Emma to the side of me a little and brought her to the battlefield, where I turned to her to see her with her mouth wide open. ¡°You may speak,¡± I said, wondering what she thought. ¡°How Did they all die like this? They were all heartless bastards, but they seemed ready to battle, unlike most other groups I met,¡± Emma said, her body shaking, and I thought it was weird. ¡°New to this?¡± I asked, pretending like I wasn''t new to this. ¡°I- I- I know you might not believe me, but I just went a little crazy when my ex dumped me. He first knocked me up with his kid. Told me what a wonderful life we would have together for months then,¡± She looked over the battlefield, ¡°He did things to me, and I miscarried and then dumped me. I- I know now I went a little too far, but I didn''t kill him. Then, when I was about to be given my prison sentence, A group of terrorists attacked the building I was in. I just ran with all the others and ended up in this place. I know my way around a rifle, and I- I allow the men to have fun with me so they feel the need to protect me. I no longer feel fear of pregnancy because of my ex.¡± Emma said, and I looked at her. The fear I saw looked real, but I wasn''t sure about the story. ¡°So I guess the answer is no,¡± I replied. ¡°No, I have killed doing this. I had to, but this,¡± Emma said, looking at the broken bodies. I reached behind me and grabbed the tablet, ¡°Well, We don''t have time to gawk anymore. Animals or others may come at any moment, and I want to clean this up.¡± I told her, and she nodded. The first thing I had her do with me was walk around and take photos of the scene that I left. Dead bodies and weapons lay around, and with her taking photos and me taking pictures, everything moved along quickly. I got her to take close-ups from a distance so that they knew the people were dead. It was something that no one could have lived through. Then, once we were done, I had her start to gather the guns with no permission to check guns or touch the trigger. Emma got to work while I started to bandage myself up, and the slow leak of blood went into the cleanest torn clothing I could find. It would have to do till I got back to the cave. I should have taken one of the healing shots Nyava gave to me before heading out. That would have been smart, but I wasn''t thinking like that. Once everything was gathered, I thought about it and looked into the night. No, I wouldn''t go into the cave yet. Instead, I would take a trip with these guns and bring them back and get that healing shot, or whatever it was Nyava gave to me. That potion would hopefully help with this wound. ¡°Emma, Grab the guns; wrap them up in something from one of your dead comrades and follow me,¡± I told her. Two minutes later, she was following me as I now carried my sniper and assault rifle again. I wouldn''t let her carry them again as it felt weird for me. I brought her back to the cave set up and walked past the vines, ¡°Do not step on the moss,¡± I told her strictly, ¡°The moss will kill you,¡± I warned her sternly, and Emma¡¯s eyes widened. I showed her in, and much to my satisfaction, she listened, and then we ascended the large steps up into the well-lit cavern where Emma gasped. Emma then noticed Kimmy on the bed with a water bottle, and Kimmy¡¯s eyes lit up and then darkened as she saw the collar on Emma. ¡°Only Tamerial is alive, and he is bound tightly, unable to move,¡± Emma told Kimmy. And I saw the light of hope leave her eyes, and I wondered about Emma. ¡°Put the guns down over there,¡± I motioned to a corner, and Emma did as followed as I went to my backpack. I pulled out rations and then the potion and the injector. I loaded it up as Nyava told me to, put it against my neck, and then pressed down. Suddenly, I felt the oddest feeling of something moving through my skin into me. It was like sweating backward, and I wanted badly to pull the thing away from me. But I finished the entire potion in seconds, and the feeling was over. Then my arm started to feel super itchy, and I felt something being pushed out of my body where the wound was. I grunted as I wanted to scratch so badly that it was healing up. And I removed the trash bandage. I looked at the hole in my clothing and where there had been a hole as it quickly started to heal. Watching it heal up so quickly was super odd that I wanted to shudder. I needed to distract myself, so I dove into the rations and started to eat a large portion of food while both my slaves watched. It was an odd feeling; then I tossed them some rations, too, ¡°You may eat. We got something to do soon, so eat quickly.¡± With the order out, we ate in silence. Chapter 63: Stressed I brought both my new Criminal slaves back out as they finished eating and resting. My arm hurt like hell, but the healing had already set in, and I could move my arm again. Whatever potion Nyava gave me was working, and after eating, I knew we had to clean things up. I got Kimmy to go dig up the mass grave that we started last night and get started on moving and looting the bodies. Kimmy did not like that, but I think I liked Emma a bit more than her anyway. Sob story or not. I was now loaded with that shitty shotgun from Kimmy, and I left my sniper rifle back at the cave. I was worried about not having it, but I put my pistol and sawn off shotgun back in place. Now, I held my assault rifle before me and got ready to work up, going into the cave as the two criminals cleaned up after me. I also needed to check on the captured in here to see who they were. I promised myself that after logging out today, I would take a deep breath and I would have a nice meal. I had stressed out this first or two in the canyon and needed a break. I was jittery all over and stressed out from coming close to death. Still, I needed to focus and move slowly, taking a step at a time as I entered. The first thing I saw was all the lights and lanterns on, with a fire at the front just out of sight to stop the glow. I could see four chairs set up for sitting around the fire and some things to cook on, not much farther in. Those will be useful back in the cave, as it seemed that I was gathering a couple of followers. I stepped in deeper and heard some hushed talking, and then I saw the mats where they were sleeping before I so rudely woke them up. There were bags and hastily strewn ammo all over the place, which would be useful. I would have to count all that when I returned to the cave and readied my spoils. Then I found it as the cave was not that deep. There was a group of three weak-looking men and three women. They all had collars on their neck and looked at me with fear as I entered. I looked around and found a nearby tablet and some computers from the slavers. Or whatever Kimmy¡¯s and Emma¡¯s group was. The devices on their neck also looked different from mine, and I did not like that. It meant that it was probably made differently. Maybe they operated differently or something; I was not sure in the end. Still, it was something I was going to have to learn, and I said, ¡°I don''t know who you are, but for now, I am your only hope of surviving. Keep quiet, listen to everything I say strictly, and do not deviate from that, and you will survive. If not,¡± I shrugged, ¡°Don''t tell others I did not warn you.¡± The simple line got a half dozen nods, and I nodded in turn and started looking around. There was more equipment than I expected in here, but the bags are probably lighter as they all could fit in the bags. I looked around to see what these devices were and found out after a bit. I found one of the laptops up and acting as an electronic fence. Within ten meters of the laptop, it acted as a fence, and I had no idea what would happen if they walked out of the zone. I started to grab all the equipment and supplies I found. There were a bunch of supplies and things for staying with a group of twenty. It was about enough for an estimated week, I presumed, which would be more than enough with what I already had. I could take Emma, Kimmy, and this group back to civilization with that and smile. For now, though, after grabbing bags and various loot, I had a bunch of things that needed to be brought back to my camp. I might even start needing to think about the ventilation of my cave if I got too many more people. Again, the supplies and things to cook and feed this group needed to come back with me. They were stuck around the laptop I found, and I smiled as I realized what I could do. ¡°Okay, So I am going to tell you all something, and I need you all to listen. Can you understand me?¡± I asked. All of them nodded and pointed at their necks. ¡°No, I cannot remove them for now; I do not know who you are or why you are here. I will check your identities back in a safer location,¡± I informed them. One of them shook their head, opened their mouth, said nothing, and pointed at the collar. ¡°You cannot speak?¡± I asked. They all nodded, ¡°Is it because of my orders earlier?¡± I asked them. Again, they all nodded, and I wanted to smile but didn''t. That would potentially simplify things for me. For now, I would have to live with several more quiet people. ¡°That is fine. I will order you to do things and need you to follow them. I need you all to help me carry these supplies from this place over to my hiding space in order to process you all. This will help me feed you and ensure you are okay until I find a way to get you all out of here. Is that understood?¡± My question made them all nod, and I smiled. I finished putting the bags that the previous dead owners used to carry their things together and put everything away. Soon, I had a stack of backpacks ready to go with everything and some other things that were needed. I got the weak-looking bunch to pick them up and grabbed the one bag with the geo-fence for the collars. After a one-way conversation with them again, they understood that the bag was the fence, and I did not know the consequences of them leaving the fence area. This made them nod, and soon, I had them walking out slowly behind me in a small radius with packs and bags of things while I watched them closely. Once outside, I brought them over to the cave where Kimmy was digging, and most of the bodies were already inside, it seemed, with Emma looting and dumping them in the hole. So, I got the people who could not speak to help out. With many hands, the work went faster, and we finished cleaning up a lot of the battle scene. There was no way to get rid of all the traces, though, not with the explosion and the skewed body parts. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Once done, though I grabbed all the supplies with the weak slaves, Kimmy and Emma, and we went back to the cave. I had them start setting things up and ensuring the slaves didn''t die by walking out of the fence. In the meantime, I came back and guided the once-tied-up man in the cave that was ambushed inside Emma back to the cave with a gag in his mouth. Once back again, I start to relax. Ten people, including myself, were now in the cave and setting up fully. It was an hour or two before daylight, and it was just in time in my opinion. The cave looked much smaller, with ten people, but it would still be more than comfortable. I put out some mats from the things we robbed, and all the slaves went to sleep. I started to think about my safety while sleeping, too. In order to ensure my safety while I slept, I put the laptop out of range of where I would be sleeping. Then I set up a small trap and went over to the side cave with the crack out to the world once more. It might not be the best place to sleep, but it was now my armory. I brought all the guns and things in with me and armed the place with some traps. Then I found myself with a large group of people, and I took the bindings and started to rebind everyone up. They were all startled to be tied up, but I would log off for the entire day. I told Kimmy that she was only allowed to continue digging the latrine for everyone to use and that Emma was to assist, but they were not to help free, injure, or call out for help for anyone else. It was a pain in the ass to word it all, but I was feeling done. I loved this game and doing this, but I was just done for the night. I needed sleep and wanted some time from life and death for a bit. I got back to the part of the cave where I could look out of it, and it was still dark out. I walked back out one last time to hand them all water for the day and went back to the other part to sleep. Logging out and setting the time to one-on-one time was something of a relief as I got up. I groaned loudly, and I shuddered as I had almost lost my character again. This being alone shit in the game was hard. I would definitely need a group once I am out of the tutorial. Keeping track of everything once I had captives was something I did not expect to manage. I should have got more capture collars, and what did I do with the new captures? Tying them up was the only solution I could think of in case they had disguised one of their own people as one of them. Sighing, I stretched and moved to the shower and remembered that Sissy and his wife were supposed to be contacting me tonight. Shower first, and I headed straight to the shower and shuddered as I remembered once again how close I was to dying. I stopped myself, headed over to the shower, turned on the water, and dove under the water, quickly feeling the heat. I needed to shake my head and think. I was overwhelmed by the game the more and more I thought about it. I now had to control nine others, all there involuntarily. Six of them could not talk, so I had to feed them and give them water. I also had to round up the loot and figure out the bounties. I sighed in the shower. What was I doing in this forest again? Getting the experience right? I needed to be a bounty hunter, but I wasn''t hunting anyone. I was hunting, though, wasn''t I? I was gathering bounties! A lot of them, and I had over fifteen by now in my name captured and dead! That last thought allowed me to relax and remember the reason I was out in the wilderness. It wasn''t for no reason, and I wasn''t risking my life for no reason. This was a Virtual reality game that played to the ultra realism. I needed to get into the mindset, I think. I was working on the theory that the main world, even with respawns, would be this difficult, if not more so. The tutorial forced you into this mindset and ensured a better playing experience once you were in the main world. God, I would love to get those respawns to back me up at this point. All I had to do was break the tutorial contract. It should not be too hard, right? I closed my eyes as the heat and water poured over me, and I turned the water even hotter. I wanted to boil myself alive at this point. My mind was all over the place, and I needed to relax. I needed to destress and regain control. I felt like I lost control in that firefight, and the reason for that was simple. I lost control of the firefight, and I almost died. That last bullet was close to my heart and almost killed me. I even passed out among living enemies as they crawled on the ground, slowly dying from their injuries. That was not okay in any way, shape or form. I needed to be better and get better. I needed to get faster and better at laying traps and bringing the enemies into my web. I needed to hunt them better and predict what the outcome would be. I needed to get even more sinister with it, and I needed some sort of extra hand. It did not need to be human hands or a person but something that would help me distract and kill. I wanted something that was off to the side and could shoot like a drone with guns. Yes, that is what I needed, and something probably with AI. I could use something to lure men and women into traps, make myself more versatile, and even use them to overwatch the captured when sleeping. That would bring more to the plate! How, though? Would I make it myself? That would be ideal. Purchasing them would be expensive, but making them myself would be risky, and I would have problems with it. But in the long run, learning the game and crafting like my character was built for would be much better. I would learn how to make better booby traps at the same time. I could make land mines and various grenade traps along with the drones. I could even make drones that were not flying that could be various forms of traps. Imagine having something that could map a place and allow me to just carry a large backpack that I could put down and still lay traps all over the place! I shuddered at how scary that would be on the battlefield and how insanely useful that would be! It would fit perfectly with the style that I wanted to move forward with as well! My mind spun at all the possibilities and the offers for contracts I would get once I made a character that could do that. I would be back in my prime, and I would be living life large. Maybe I will even be able to solo into the high ranks or make my own corporation in this game. Instead of having bosses, I would be the BOSS! The heat was hitting me hard, and I was leaning against the wall as the hot water hit my body, turning me red. My mind was occupied, and I turned off the water without much thought as I started to feel like I was overheating. I stepped out and dried myself off, just lost in thought, wondering if it was possible. I didn''t know, but I should be able to with the amount of freedom in the game. I had a starship and a captain that was head over heels for me. I didn''t want to overthink Ura, but could I start a corporation with more Federation credits than anyone else playing Galaxy Online and use NPCs as the organization''s core? My mind spun even faster, and I was outside my bathroom, lost in thought, when I heard my phone ring, stunning my thoughts, and I turned. I smiled as I remembered the world around me, and I could not help but wonder who was on the phone. I knew who I was hoping for and reached out to find out. Chapter 64: Crafting Posts ¡°Hello, This is?¡± I said, my voice coming across as no-nonsense allowed. ¡°M- Mistress, this is,¡± I heard a male''s voice come over the phone, and I knew instantly who it was. ¡°Ah, the Sissy bitch Husband,¡± I replied, cutting him off, ¡°I care not to learn your name,¡± I told him. There was a pause over the phone for a couple of moments, ¡°Yes, I am Sissy Bitch husband, My Goddess, and I was wondering if you are once again available this evening,¡± He said, his voice quivering a little. ¡°Hmm, Back again this evening for round two,¡± I said, thinking about it, but I needed a stress reliever. Having the ability to go as hard as I did yesterday again was something that spoke to my soul. Control over the situation for over a night was something that I would greet with happiness, and I had sixteen hours while the day played out in the game. I needed to regain some control, and domination over someone was a great way to relieve stress. ¡°My Goddess was hoping that to be true, although not as hard tonight because the-¡± The Sissy bitch began. ¡°Ah, no, she can explain it herself,¡± I snapped, cutting him off once again, and my cock started to get hard. Tonight, I needed to be in control, and I continued with myself in control, ¡°You will both be here in an hour or so, with dinner and wearing something appropriate for me to enjoy you in. Also, you will be a good sissy and show up in something suitably girly; I don''t want to see you looking like a man tonight,¡± I told the sissy bitch. There was another pause over the phone, and I stood waiting and wondering if I was about to get another free meal and sex. It was a very nice combination to get for free. Hell, Cassady, last night, wanted me to go very rough and breed her like a bitch. The cuck fetish was very strong in these two, and I knew that I was planning no more than a bull Mistress Fantasy for them now. I was fine with that and using them as they were using me. Right now, I needed control, and they would give me that. ¡°Yes, Mistress, We will be there as soon as possible in suitable clothing to please you,¡± The Sissy bitch finally said. ¡°Good,¡± I finished and hung up the phone with a large smile on my face. I liked the fact that Cassady and her Sissy husband were coming over for dinner. I wanted to release some pent-up stress, and having sex and dominating a willing woman was great for that. I probably could not go as hard as last night as I am sure she is still recovering from the very harsh treatment that she asked for. But she was an attractive woman, and I would still give her what a Masochist wants most of all. Pleasure with that perfect mixture of pain. I stretched, looked back at the shower, and realized I had never really washed up in the water. I just let the water pour down me. Then again, it was only a minor amount of sweat. So, Instead of getting back into the shower, I brushed my teeth slowly, walked into my large closet, and started to decide what I should wear for the couple. Looking through my outfits, I could not really decide. I had so many, and I wanted to be a bit more casual, like I was being dismissive. Yeah, I didn''t want to look like I was looking forward to dominating both of them. Still, I wanted them to be thirsty for me and to think I looked good despite that. God, I hated this part, and eventually, I found it. I had a little Tube top that I wore that would show my flat stomach and my nice breasts off while still looking casual and something I would wear at home if relaxing. I smiled and grabbed a red tube top and black jeans, opting against the blue jeans. I didn''t want to be mistaken for an old television show; I was not that handy. Stretching in my outfit, I moved to my computer to start looking at forums, and my computer started with no problem. I quickly started to get things ready for tonight if Cassady and her Sissy bitch wanted to enjoy the night with me. Then I looked at the condition of my vote for what I should wear to sleep tonight. Again, It was something loose, and I knew they thought it would be sexy. The problem was the need for more numbers in the voting. Although I had noticed an uptick in voting recently, tonight seemed to be a night where I did not bring in as much cash as normal. It was a bad night for it, and I sighed slowly. Oh well, I had bad nights and good nights. At least the rent and utilities were paid for this month. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. With a long, drawn-out sigh, I got into the forums that were blowing up after everything. There were so many complaints that they never learned about the contract loophole that allowed you not to follow the tutorial world strictly. Their complaints were about the balance of the game, which was a bit of a joke, in my opinion. This was a game that was expected to technically turn their dollar into a real-life currency once the currency exchange was open. This was nothing like those old World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy, or Korean MMOs where you could just buy gold. Gabin Corporation was making a full exchange system where you could buy credits with real-life cash and sell credits to them for real-life cash. THIS MADE IT A BANK! This was something that no one had truly accessed yet to see the worth of, even as the game was out. No one could make it off their shit hole worlds that they started you off on to get into the main worlds with Infrastructure. That meant there was no way to exchange unless you could get off the tutorial world and no one had properly completed the Tutorial yet. Now, with the time dilation in the game being able to change, the hardcore players would be rushing to the end to be one of the first to the finish. I was tempted, too, but the game was stressful, and I would burn out too quickly if I did something like that. That was something that a lot of the Hardcore players were saying in the forums, too. ¡°The Stress Levels of this game are Unreal.¡± One of the posts started off as I started to read it, and I couldn''t help but nod as I read it. ¡°The Stress levels are unreal, and I feel like I could develop fucking PTSD from playing this game! I play as a Bounty Hunter, and after the initial mission, I was sent all over the place constantly like slave labor. The amount of bodies and close calls I have gotten into for the first month of this game is unreal! ONLY ONE DEATH AND I HAVE TO DO THIS ALL AGAIN! My stress levels are insane, and I have to slow down. I found I made fewer mistakes in the game, and the new time dilation I find is a godsend. I can spend a few hours in reality while my character sleeps and recover and decompress from watching a damn spider-looking monster running straight at me and injuring me with their foot. Fucking unreal the level of realism. It is adrenaline-pumping and fun, but FUCK, I am stressed if I don''t take some time.¡± The post was something I could relate to after watching a bunch of human-looking aliens blow up into bits in the middle of the night. They turned into pieces of meat all over with organs spilling out, and it was disgusting. It was stressful looking at that, to say the least, and I also felt so good taking out that many by myself. This was a game of strategy and cold-hearted killing, but you could do so much more. I wondered what the tutorial for straight crafters was and went into the forums to see what they were talking about. I was suddenly in a new world talking about Galaxy Online compared to the Combat focus part of the game. ¡°Love the intricate deep knowledge Crafting system!¡± The top forum post shouted out, and I went into reading a bit of this top post. ¡°I love the Intractate Deep Knowledge Crafting system! It is super deep, and there is in-game knowledge that may not be real in real life but it is amazing in the game. I chose to be a blacksmith, and the beginning of crafting in this game is so deep. I am a Blacksmith in real life, too, and although some of the things are not like they are in real life, there are a lot of similarities, too! There are even deep branches you can go down! Because of how impressed my boss and contract holder are with me at this moment, I have already learned of two professional upgrades I can take! There is the Mana Imbuing and Rune Crafting Blacksmiths! There are even more when it comes to a pure tech tree instead of going down the Magic tree. There is a precision blacksmith, which I am unsure of their uses, but it sounds pretty interesting, too! The depth of just Blacksmithing in itself is AMAZING!¡± That was a lot to take in, and it made me think about the weapon crafting; I saw a new post that only came up five minutes ago. ¡°Crafting Freedom is Godly! One hundred out of ten!¡± I quickly opened it up and continued, ¡°Seriously, Gabin Corporation has my undying hype now! They have created a free-moving crafting system that allows you to make whatever you want! There are no limits I can see as I chose the architect profession, and I am dealing with a lot of engineering and calculus around building buildings in primitive worlds at this point. I am free to make whatever-looking building I want as long as it is within specifications. If this is the freedom I have with making buildings, then what is the freedom you have for making inventions or weapons? Can we make tactical nukes if we have the right professionals working together?¡± That last question was something of a question I now had for the game. It seemed that right now, the answer would be yes! I could not help but feel excited to try and make some of the things that I was thinking about. Imagine if I could get someone to help me make some self-setting traps. Or something to help me set out some. Maybe I could make it all myself, but I was a gun manufacturer, and I wondered if I could have some type of Engineer on my side. There were also the NPCs! The Stress I was feeling almost melted away as I thought about all the possibilities, and I didn''t even have to find a person in real life, maybe. There was so much to do and think about and possibilities. Almost too many when it came to this game, and it had gripped my imagination. When the doorbell rang, I almost jumped because I had even stopped looking at the forum posts and was just thinking about the possibilities. I would have to set that aside and enjoy my date with the couple now. The smile on my face grew as I got up to go greet them. Chapter 65: Return of the Darkside* ¡°Hello, Slaves,¡± I said with a smile as I saw the couple just outside my door carrying a large bag with a flat bottom. I could smell something good in it and stepped back inside as I looked the couple over. Cassady was dressed in a Long-sleeved turtle neck, probably from last night''s play. It was elegant looking and fashionable and probably covered the bruises. It was a covering of my dark side and barely showed off her spectacular D-cup breasts. It was a shame to cover them up, but I could also understand the reason why. Her pants were skin-tight black jeans that matched her fashionable sweater, and she looked good. To be honest with my darker side, I could not wait to see what marks I left on her. My primal side was a violent side that I rarely let loose, and every ex who had seen it had not liked it. But I was a switch mostly and did not mind bottoming for the right people. You just had to make me want to be at the bottom, which was not as common for me. Turning to look at her husband; he was a pretty man. But now, he was beautifully dressed up in a long brown-haired wig that flowed to his shoulders and makeup up, making him look more feminine. It was not ostentatious at all and quite well done, in my opinion. Made him look more like the sissy cuck that he was, along with his well-fitted black dress that he was wearing. It made him beautiful, and I noticed there was not a single visible sign of hair on his legs and arms. ¡°Oh, you both are looking good for your Mistress tonight,¡± I said with a smile before turning to Cassady. ¡°So, did you enjoy your video?¡± I asked. Both of them blushed, but Cassady had a much deeper blush, and she nodded. ¡°Last night was amazing, and I cannot believe such a dark fantasy was fulfilled,¡± she said, her voice laced with desire, ¡°I had to wear a turtle neck just to cover all the love marks,¡± She continued, her voice dark. In response, my cock hardened a bit, and I wondered where I could find a woman like herself for me personally. She was taken, and I wouldn''t enter their relationship in a role exceeding what I already was. That meant finding a partner that was more suited to me in the future, and I had no idea who that would be. The picture of a certain blue-skinned woman entered my mind and left just as fast. That thought would not be allowed in conjunction with the other thoughts. Instead, I listened to what they had to say, ¡°After bringing him home from work, I had my way with him while watching it.¡± Cassady said as I tuned back into the words as she spoke about her day, ¡°I didn''t even notice how much you were hitting me as you took me. It all blended together into pure ecstasy in the moment. I feel sore all over, but I don''t regret the choice to come to you, Mistress.¡± Cassady was gushing and looked toward her husband, ¡°I love my little cuck bitch, but he will never do to me what you can make me feel.¡± The statement was a direct attack on his manhood, and I could see the pain in his eyes and acceptance of that. It was such an odd thing, and I wish I had a cuck bitch of my own in many ways. This was just me being jealous, though I knew the person I would be with had to adapt to my many moods and dark sides. ¡°Now, Mistress, I knew that we were coming over, but not when I got us something a bit simpler but catered to your tastes,¡± Cassady blushed, ¡°They are sandwiches from a place near my work. Not cheap, and they make some fucking amazing sandwiches. I didn''t know what you would like, so I got four different types as I was thinking about you.¡± I smiled, and she pulled out the bag. And six sandwiches were in the bag, so with that math, there was only one each for them. ¡°Okay,¡± I replied, ¡°Hand me one to be judged on,¡± I told her with a dark smile, ¡°That and,¡± I turned to the sissy bitch. ¡°My cock needs attention and lubrication before I stuff it in your abused goddess; I plan to ensure she remembers her place later tonight. Lubricate it well; I am sure she will appreciate tasting you in her cunt.¡± Cassady blushed, and the Sissy froze at the statement and looked at me sharply. Cassady turned to her sissy Husaband a moment later and tilted her head, ¡°Well, You wouldn''t want your goddess to be hurt while she is trying to impregnate me?¡± Cassady asked. The Sissy husband shivered, and I grinned, turning to her, ¡°Well, pick your offering,¡± I told her, lightly humiliating her as I reprimanded her lightly. She nodded and grabbed the bag as, in the meant time, Sissy''s husband closed the distance, and I turned and walked away. ¡°On your knees, I am going to eat over here,¡± I snapped, and the Sissy got down on his knees. I walked over to the counter, and he was across the apartment at the front door. I stood, and I motioned for Cassady to join me, ¡°Come, Slut, I want to see your offering. See how long it takes for him to start preparing me,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°Let us make it more interesting.¡± I said, ¡°Crawl over here, Unbutton my pants and make me cum once for your Goddess; I am sure she wants to see it in action once in your mouth, then we can fill your ass so you know what she is going through while you watch.¡± He looked at me, and my cock hardened in my jeans, and Cassady was licking her lips, imagining the scene as I could see. Then he began his pathetic crawl over, trying not to damage the dress as he moved carefully so as not to rip it on my floors. It was wonderful to watch, and at the same time, Cassady handed me a sloppy sandwich that actually looked really good. I quickly took it and used the wrapper to contain the insides while I took a bite out and moaned. It was a FUCKING good sandwich, and I started to slowly eat it as I watched the show of the Cuck reaching me. He couldn''t take too long on all fours while his wife and I watched. My apartment was not that large, though, and as I bit into the sandwich again, I watched him reach my legs and reach up to unbutton them. Honestly, Wasn''t there something special about someone else undoing your clothing? A power in it? I could feel his fingers fumbling a little on the button before getting a grip and then putting strength into his fingers before it finally popped free. Then, the act of bringing down that zipper starts revealing something that you already know: what the prize is. But it''s different every time? Amazing! He caught straight of my full panties with a rapidly hardening Girl cock that was ready to fuck his mind away. To leave him gasping and panting and freshly fucked and full so he can watch me do the same to his wife. They were the ones who wanted me to impregnate her for their own fetishes. That mystery to the fact if their child was his or not. They were sick in their own heads, but I loved it. I watched as he pulled down my pants over my breasts, and I loved this moment as he pushed aside my panties, and my cock lightly slapped his face sending a shiver of mental pleasure through me. This couple activated my darkest side, and I couldn''t wait for more. His mouth opened, and I felt his lips a moment later, and I sighed as the worries and stress of crawling through an alien jungle disappeared with delicious food and a sissy bitch sucking my cock. I let myself relax as I felt his mouth start to work, licking up and down the length. ¡°Got to work faster than that,¡± I told him and turned to his wife, ¡°You need to work on his head game,¡± I told her as he took my cock in his mouth and started to suck really good. Pleasure started to tingle up my spine through my cock as I took a fresh bite out of the sandwich. I needed to cover up the pleasure to keep my position, and I continued to bite into the sandwich as he started to play on my flesh flute with skill and precision that sent tingles down my spine. The sandwich was half gone as Cassady started to eat, with me pulling out her sandwich, and mine was almost done when I felt myself reach the edge with a combination of his work and the sandwich. Not that I would admit that, and I reached down and shoved my cock deep into his throat before releasing a stream of semen into his mouth. A moan escaped my lips, and I shivered in pleasure as I released rope after rope into his sissy mouth. My eyes twirled up, and I looked at Cassady and smiled, ¡°Your Sissy Bitch at least could do one thing right,¡± I told her with a smile just before taking another bite to cover up another moan. I wanted to moan so badly as I filled his throat and stomach with my cum, but I did not. I focused on the sandwich, and Cassady was smiling now with a blush as she looked at her cuck of a husband. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. I took a last bite as she took a bite of hers, and I pulled The sissy cuck back just in time for the last rope of cum to cover his face. I swallowed my food and looked at him with slightly smeared makeup and him gasping for breath. ¡°You may eat only with the cum on your face and in your proper place on the floor,¡± I told him and turned to Cassady, ¡°Hand him his so he can taste it with the proper cream filling.¡± Cassady handed him a sandwich from the bad before turning to me and blushing. ¡°So what''s the plan, Mistress?¡± Cassady asked. ¡°For me?¡± I asked, ¡°I am going to fuck your cuck, then I am going to ensure to remind you of last night. Then I am going to go to bed after enjoying Breeding two bitches. Afterward, I have a long day of hunting in an alien world bounty hunting tomorrow.¡± I told her without much thought as I watched her eat. The cuck under me was now eating, and Cassady tilted her head. ¡°Bounty hunting in the alien world?¡± She asked. ¡°Yes, I am playing Galaxy Online from Gabin Corp,¡± She snapped her fingers, looking like she just remembered something. ¡°I am still in the tutorial like everyone else, but I am playing on the hardest difficulty. I made the error of putting myself in a place where I am sink or swim. I have been swimming, but now I have to deal with the consequences of that, and I am unsure how to proceed.¡± ¡°Do you mind if I ask?¡± Cassady asked, looking a little intrigued. ¡°What has Mistress been indecisive about?¡± I thought about it for a moment, but there was no way that Cassady could fuck over my mission in the Tutuorial universe. ¡°Sure, Right now I just ¡®liberated,¡¯¡± I said, using quote fingers to emphasize the liberated, ¡°five slaves who potentially could be bounties or other things and killed a camp of bounties and captured in total three people. Two have bounty slave collars on them, which make them follow my orders, and the last one is tied up thoroughly. Also, all the slaves are tied to a laptop that if they leave, I believe the collar on their necks will kill them.¡± I told her while thinking about it, ¡°The best thing is that I am in a very hidden cave that can accommodate all of them as long as the one slave I ordered to build a latrine finishes building it in time. Actually, I guess the word is carve out the latrine in time.¡± ¡°So you are hidden with all of this and killed a camp,¡± She said, sounding puzzled, ¡°Would it be difficult to recruit those with the collars to do miscellaneous things for you?¡± She asked. ¡°Unsure,¡± I replied. ¡°Then do you trust them?¡± She asked. ¡°I am unsure if any of the slavers collared themselves for extra security,¡± I replied. ¡°Doesn''t seem like they need that if they can only walk so far and boom,¡± Cassady told me, and I thought about it as I finished my sandwich. Cassady continued and finished hers, and I pulled her closer for a moment and stole a kiss. I didn''t have a reason to, but It was a little fun as she blushed, and I grabbed her ass. My thoughts were still about the game. My mind raced, and I shook my head, ¡°Nah,¡± I said, gripping her ass harder, and I looked down to the sissy, ¡°I can''t trust them, not till I confirm identities which I can and I can move from there.¡± I smiled, and I saw that Sissy had finished half of his sandwich. ¡°You, Shove your ass up and get ready to take my cock. You must finish that food before I cum.¡± New humiliation, and his wife was loving it as he looked at me with a sandwich in his mouth with my cum all over his face. Then I rolled my eyes, and I looked at him, ¡°Turn around, Lift your skirt, and prepare to get fucked; I do not have all night to fuck you both,¡± I snapped and grabbed his face pinching his mouth with my hand, ¡°Now, Move it, Sissy, my cock is throbbing!¡± I shoved his face back, and he lightly hid the counter. I turned to Cassady. ¡°Be a good slut and put those leftovers in the fridge,¡± I told her, and she wordlessly nodded as she continued to munch on her sandwich. She got up and put them in the fridge for me as the Sissy turned around and put his face to the tile while raising his ass. His dress fell elegantly down his back showing white panties that I pushed aside, and I grabbed my saliva-covered cock. I throbbed in anticipation for the night to come, and I didn''t care about how this cuck felt. I could never understand the position that he was in, nor did I care to. I enjoyed being on top and the bottom, but never like this. My cock felt the asshole part for me, and I shoved my cock in and moaned without wanting to. The head of my cock was teased by his tight little asshole, and the pleasure sent shivers down my sensitive cock, and for a moment, I felt my cock send a reply of precum straight inside of him. I felt my eyes roll, and I wanted more. So I took it and shoved my cock in deep and feeling his sphincter tighten on me hard. There was something special about dominating men that I loved, and I thrust into him hard, making him moan. I didn''t care, and I got even busier, and my hips slapped his ass loudly, and a fresh cry came from him. ¡°Shut the fuck up and Eat!¡± I demanded, and I shoved my cock in deep once again while grabbing his hips as they tried to retreat and take over. My hands brought his ass up onto my cock, and my hips thrust forward, slapping them. Cries mingled, and I sped up as my cock throbbed. He cried out More and more, and the less I cared. My hips bucked and fucked him harder and harder with each thrust, and I grunted as I took his sissy ass hard and fast as my balls produced the cream filling. I noticed the sandwich to the side he couldn''t eat as he cried out, and I decided as I reached my peak. ¡°THIS, IS, FOR, DISOBEYING MISTRESS~!¡± I demanded out loud as I reached my peak, grunting. I shoved my cock in deep, sent the first rope down his anal canal, and pulled out. I stood, and I grabbed my cock and pointed it at his food and blasted his dress, back, and food with rope after rope of semen and jerked off a little to ride the high and sighed. ¡°Fuck that was good,¡± I said, turning to Cassady, who was blushing and looking at me with heat. I could tell she loved watching every moment, and I grinned and grabbed her by the neck, feeling her sweater. ¡°Now, it''s your turn,¡± I said, making her shiver, and I pushed her back, ¡°Bedroom now,¡± I snapped, and she nodded, and we left the room, her cuck twitching behind us, and I turned just as we reached the portal to my room. ¡°You better fucking eat that sandwich before you join us, cuck. If I find it,¡± I left with his wife in tow, tossed her onto the bed, grabbed the mouse, and turned on the recording I set up earlier. Now it would all be filmed for my pleasure. I didn''t know what Cassady was expecting, but she didn''t expect my primal side to come out so hard. I reached her in a stride, and I was atop her momentarily. I grabbed her by the neck, reached down, grabbed the hem of her shirt, and pulled it up. She squealed. I was being rough and harsh, and she cried with pleasure as I held her breast and found her lace black bra. I nearly and roughly tore the bra up and off, making her skin, and I saw the marks from yesterday. I was very deliberate, and I growled. ¡°Fucking slut like you needs to be bred by an alpha like myself,¡± I snarled, ¡°Ready and waiting like a bitch with fat tits for my offspring.¡± I felt her quiver, but I could no longer see her face as I let go of her neck. And my hand tore down into her pants, and I flicked the button of her jeans off and the zipper a moment later. My hand dove into matching black panties, and I found a swollen dripping swamp cunt that had been wet and contained for too long. ¡°Can''t even fucking hide it like the bitch that you are, Cassady,¡± I snarled my dark side, screaming to come out. She spoke so much to it that I wanted to get even rougher. ¡°FUCK~!¡± She moaned loudly, spurring my feelings even more. And I tore her panties and pants off a moment later, and she tore off the sweater to see. I had one moment where I took the picture with her black lace bra half on and half off, only covering one breast and looking odd on her. Her face blushed red down to her neck and up to her ears as she looked like the most wanting bitch I ever knew. Honestly, she was the only woman who had ever accepted the darkest parts of myself in my life. All got scared and ran away from it. I snarled, and my hand reached up and slapped her breast hard, and her cry of delight filled my ears as I grabbed my cock and shoved it into her dripping cunt before I even knew it. ¡°SO BIG~!¡± She moaned out as I shoved the entirety of my cock into her without a pause, and my hand reached up and slapped her breasts again. The marks on her body were bruises from the night prior, and I loved it. The bruises and marks were signs of conquering and power that dominated my mind, and I loved it more and more. My hips thrust in and out of her with increasing need, and her screams of delight were full as I grabbed her by the marked neck and choked her. She grabbed my arm as I cut off her airway, and she could no longer scream in delight as my cock thrust in and out of her. Her face paled a little before I let go, and her body shivered, and her cunt spasmed, and fresh fluids sprayed my legs. A tiny part of myself asked, ¡°Where did your pants go?¡± But I didn''t care as I shoved my cock in and out of her spasming pussy as I reached closer and closer to a climax of my own. I couldn''t take it, and I grabbed her by the neck and choked her once more; as I reached the peak, I grunted as I shoved in and out of her harder than ever before. I released a tide of baby-making cream into her fertile womb just as I let go of her neck. A screaming orgasm greeted me, and I gyrated my hips against her for a moment before I pulled out and released a final rope of cum over her stomach. ¡°That was round one slut; I got at least three more in me,¡± I told her, and she looked at me with a shiver, and her cunt was dripping with my seed. Honestly, This was a stress-reducing activity when you knew the other was loving it with the smile on her face. The desire was plain to see, and her pussy was quivering as I reentered her once again. Chapter 66: Slow morning The night was long, and I finished with Cassady and her Husband after a couple of hours. Then I cleaned up while feeling raw with the overall feeling that I dominated a bitch. I then got into the loose little one-piece that my audience wanted and went to bed. Passing out for hours to come. I knew that I would be late getting up in the morning and forgot to turn on an alarm. Much to my surprise, when I woke up, I had a lot of viewers, but all were disappointed when I awoke, and nothing happened. I stretched and looked at my screen, seeing the many good mornings from people, and I groaned. I stretched like a kitten once again, and that made me moan a little more sexually than I wanted, but the boys watching it loved it. I pawed at my face, looked again after clearing my eyes, and got up slowly. I groaned, and I wondered what the Cuck watched last night. Last night, I lost a little control of myself after being with the Cuck and started to unleash my pent-up, darker desires on his wife. She was such a little pain slut that liked to top men. It was such an exciting couple that I did not mind playing with. Quickly, I put my hands before me, and I got on my knees and stretched, giving the stream a little bit of a show. They wouldn''t be able to see anything, but I would get increased likes and various things while I stretched like a cat in several positions. I needed to stretch. I may as well do it for an audience of people who enjoy watching me sleep. I yawned and realized that sleep was a little harder to push off than normal. I finally got out of bed and moved toward my computer, which showed a quickly moving chat stream. Many were compliments, and I noticed that there was a notification for a raid last night from another streamer when they were done streaming something in gaming. I scrolled a little in the chat log, finally noticing it, and my temper rose. DarkSniper: Here you go, SleepyWonder. I just found your sleep stream and just finished a pro stream of me playing Galaxy Online. I know you are struggling since you were kicked out of the pro scene for being too hard to work with. Enjoy! My eyebrows twitched, and I snarled before closing my eyes momentarily. Damn, the asshole even had a pussy name like DarkSniper. He was mid with a sniper rifle back in the CoD days and was better with an assault rifle. He lost to me one-on-one so many times, with me playing a variety of ways. My team always had an issue talking to a woman who knew what they were about. Despite the fact that more and more women can play at the top with skills, not many join the pro leagues. Men who were that good tended to have still issues interacting with women. That coupled with the fact that unless the women all get along with each other, full teams of women tend to be very hard to manage. It was very easy for women to start attacking each other''s reputation, so more than two women on a team were frowned upon for no other reason than management. Not that there weren''t plenty of success stories with more. They just had to be compatible. I shook my head and stopped thinking about the many issues I faced in the pro scene. Dark Sniper would get a piece of my mind when I saw him next. I am surprised he even had the balls to come into my chat and send that message. Then again, he always had more courage behind a computer than in person. ¡°Sorry, Guys,¡± I suddenly said, turning it to the computer view and smiling sleepily, ¡°I was reading chat and forgot to interact. I am also having a little trouble shaking off the sleep from last night.¡± I looked at the chat, and they were all pretending to be outraged, but the emotes showed it was all in good humor, and I brightened my smile. ¡°So I am going to put up a list of things for tonight, but I would like something more tight. I want to be bound in my sleep tonight. So don''t forget to come on and vote for what you would most like to see me in. Now, I have to go get some things done and eat something. I will talk to you tonight~!¡± I finished, moved, and ended the nine-hour stream, winced at how long I slept. I had about two to three hours before I would be late logging into Galaxy Online. I was already going long but wanted to be active at night instead of the day. I just hoped things were fine for now. I might even log in to check on things quickly. But first, Food. Getting out of my bedroom, I moved through my apartment, opened the fridge, and instantly noticed all I had left were the sandwiches from the previous night. I was low on food and would have to cook anything else. So I took out a sandwich, tore open the packaging, walked over to my closet, and started to look through things. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. What should I wear today? I looked through my things, and even though I was going to be in the pod, it felt like an important decision. I wondered a little and decided to take out a lovely little dress. No one might be seeing it today, but I felt the cute little white dress was the perfect thing to wear. It covered my breasts and went down to the top knee, and it was a little loose. I plucked it from my hanger, brought it out, and put it on my bathroom door before going to my computer. Continuing to eat my sandwich, I started to turn off my streaming setup and picked up my phone to see if I missed anything. My agent called and left a message, but I didn''t feel like listening to it at this time after our last phone call. I wasn''t sure if I wanted to move forward with another corporation or start one of my own. It would be very interesting to be my own boss. With that being said, I found that my parents also called and left a voice mail along with my brother. Probably begging for more money, and my brother, the fucking pervert, doesn''t want to pay my parent''s bills just like I no longer wished to do. I was making it by at this moment, but I needed to save it just in case. I would love to have savings to live if I had a bad six months. With the way this month was going, though, I was looking at a nice savings month. I sighed and stopped looking at my phone as I realized none of my old friends had messaged me. I shook off that thought as I didn''t want to go down that train. Many of my old friends called me when they only wanted to recruit me. It seemed that I had never made any close friends at that time. That earned another sigh, and I decided to finish my sandwich as fast as possible and check my vote''s progress. My eyes widened as I saw a nice tight latex outfit at the top. It was going to be a bit Risque, and I loved it. It was one of my favorites, and although the voters didn''t know it, the complete outfit came with a latex face mask with cute little kitten ears that would make me a latex cat. I loved that catsuit, but no one really wanted to show it off, too. I would also have all the safe-for-work options on so there would be no slippage. I licked my lips and went for another bite of my sandwich, only to notice it was gone. It was a good sandwich, and I barely even registered how fast I ate it. I turned and got up and decided I would need to find out about that sandwich shop Cassady told me about last night. Thinking about them, too, I should check the footage of what I did to her last night. I lost myself a little too hard, and I barely remember the night. I pushed them out after enjoying myself like they were trash in order to enhance the experience of feeling used. Surprisingly, they had not contacted me yet. I shook my head and sent a text. ¡°Cassady, you will present yourself alone tonight.¡± I sent in a text and put down my phone. Walking over to the bathroom, I got in the shower after stripping and washed myself thoroughly. This morning had been short, but I realized I needed to start meal planning. I didn''t want to keep ordering in. I wanted to prioritize the tutorial, too, but not to the point where it destroyed my outside life. I needed to get some socialization. Maybe tomorrow I should call up a couple of old buddies instead of waiting for them to contact me and hang out maybe. I bit my lip a little in the shower as I finished washing my body, and I stepped out to dry off and brush my teeth. Once I finished that up, I got in my little one-piece dress, moved to the pod, and smiled as I got in. The little dress did not get in the way at all, and I smiled as I started to log in and set the time back to four times the speed. Inside the game, I woke up. I was a bit stiff, but my body was free, and I could hear movement. I got up, grabbed my things, and ensured I was equipped against the slaves. Entering the larger cavern, I noticed the place to put the Latrine was heavily dug in and looked almost ready to use. The two bounty slaves were toiling in the labor and looked exhausted. The collared slaves stuck around the laptop were lying down and sleeping or resting. There seemed no point in moving, and the last person was bound and sleeping. Taking a moment to enjoy the fact that my arrangement worked, I walked back to where I slept and moved toward the crack. I grabbed my rifle, got myself in position, and looked out into the valley. I sighed with relief as I saw it was still day out, meaning I got in on time, if not early. I checked out the area and noticed that we didn''t quite get the look of the fight out of the area. On a positive note, though, we did make it look looted and like we took off after the fight. That was all I could find, and outside the cave, it was peaceful. That was good for a night as I could start to set up some traps, at least for the cave, and figure out what I was going to do. I had only been in the forest for three days and didn''t want to leave. So, I would need to figure out what to do with these extras and what my plans were. I was here to bounty hunt, so either I would trap more bounties here or go deeper. If I am not going to do either of those things, I should just leave. What was I going to do? First things first time to deal with the home front. I slowly crawled back and got up, putting my rifle aside. Now, it was time to deal with domestic affairs. Chapter 67: Domestic Affairs It was time for me to get to work sorting everything out¡ªthe Slaves and what I was going to do. With a latrine for the people staying with me, I would have to portion out food and water and ensure a camp style. I would have to make rooms and decide what I was doing with things. I needed to decide my goal for this trip as I had already become successful in some of the reasons I was down here in this damn forest while the ship was in the dry docks. First, it was time to find out who I took on as the newest member after the bounties. I moved into the room and looked over everyone. The people with collars were around the Laptop or computer that was geolocating for their neck collars. I walked over to my place in the encampment, and I started to get to work. I was no longer idle and just stressed. No, I was still stressed, but it wasn''t a heavyweight after unleashing myself on Cassady with complete control over her. I would also play with her tonight, but that was for later. Instead, I got out the tablet and started composing the data I had. ¡ª Bounty: Kimmy Greenhorn Race: Half Human, Half Gecko-kin Crimes: Assault, Sexual Assault, Murder Federation Bounty: 7500 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution ¡ª ¡ª Bounty: Emma Volenski Race: Three-Quarters Human, One quarter Twimmer Crimes: Multiple accounts of Assault and Attempted Murder Federation Bounty: 9000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution. ¡ª ¡ª Bounty: Tamerial Mystiron Race: Silirus Crimes: Multiple assaults with deadly weapons. Grand theft, Grand theft with the intent to kill Federation Bounty: 13000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution. ¡ª These were the Three bounties that I captured. I would need to bring them back, but they were the ones I captured alive. Tamerial was now bound, completely unable to move. I could collar him, but I wasn''t sure with his record if I wanted him able to even move. That was an ethics thing that I didn''t give a fuck about. What I needed to find out was what was going on with the group that I collected last night. I moved forward, and I started to take pictures of the ¡®slaves¡¯ or the people that the other group brought back captured. I allowed them to sleep as Kimmy and Emma continued to slave away. So, it didn''t take long for the tablet to shoot out answers. ¡ª Bounty Hunter: Kathren Bridgit Race: Human Affiliation: Half Hunters ¡ª ¡ª Bounty Hunter: Milo LongFang Race: Half Human, Half Wolf-kin Affiliation: Half Hunters ¡ª ¡ª Bounty Hunter: Syliva Brown Race: Half Human, Half-Elf Affiliation: Half Hunters You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. ¡ª ¡ª Bounty Hunter: Daniel Brown Race: Half Human, Half High Elf Affiliation: Half Hunters ¡ª ¡ª Bounty Hunter: Nyavo Brown Race: Half Human. Quarter Elf, Quarter, Cat-kin Affiliation Half Hunters ¡ª ¡ª Bounty Hunter: Henry Timmins Race: Human Affiliation Half Hunters ¡ª All of them looked human as I looked at them, but these were bounty hunters. It seems that they might have been coming into the forest together. It seemed three of them were possibly even family together. I thought that their affiliation was a bit unfortunate because it made them seem that they were hunting half-breeds instead of being half-breeds. Then again, they might actually be doing that. Either way, I wasn¡¯t sure how to proceed with them. Their cohesion didn''t seem high level when I was dealing with them, but I was also in a lot of pain dealing with them. At least before I took Nyava potion when I came back, I might have missed things. Not that I look at it. The three browns were closer together, and Longfang was closer to Kathrine. I couldn''t help but wonder if something happened between the six of them. It was like there was an awkward atmosphere between them. Also, I couldn''t ask because they were all essentially muzzled. There were two ways I could go about with them. First, I could leave them as they were trapped without speaking, and I could feed them. When I left, I could bring them along and use them as cargo haulers for the extra weapons I gathered, then save them as I left. Or I could try and find some way, which I didn''t know how to do while I was in the cave. Shaking my head, I was about to try to free them without some way of knowing. I could ask Kimmy and Emma if they knew how to free these six prisoners. Then there was still these two bounties and the tied-up guy. I didn''t know what to do right now except to let them sort themselves out. I wanted to make this into a base to play with and enjoy myself. Then I realized that there was something that I desperately needed if I was going to continue to collect people who came here. It was only day three, and I had a week or so ahead of me. I would run out of room if I continued to capture people. Then I wondered if I could make them make even more space for a prison. I smirked at the two women who continued to toil away, finishing a latrine. I walked over and saw that the woman needed to use it soon. Probably the same with the man, and I sighed as I crossed the distance. Both Emma and Kimmy were a bit of a mess as they continued to work on the Latrine, and it was a bit of a deep hole, too. The only thing needed now was to cover the hole, which should be enough for a week or two. ¡°Okay, ladies, you can take a break, and you can have some rations and some water,¡± I told them, and both women almost collapsed on the spot. Both were breathing heavily and smiling. ¡°Thank you,¡± Kimmy said. ¡°I am so hungry, thirsty, and tired,¡± she complained. ¡°I am so sleepy; we have been working for hours,¡± Emma complained, ¡°I haven''t slept in twenty-four hours.¡± ¡°Well, you will get some sleep, food, and rest. I spent a bit of time thinking, and I know what I want to do moving forward. Unfortunately for you two, this isn''t the end of your digging,¡± I told them, and both blanked. ¡°You both will be making a new prison! I need someone to tie up the next groups that might be coming here. This will be my base camp, and this Bounty hunter needs a place where prisoners can be confined. Like your friend Tamerial over there instead of being bound by rope all the time. It doesn''t have to be much, but a place where I can bind them to the wall instead. This cavern is just a little too small for that, and so I will get you to work on that wall there to cut into,¡± I said, pointing to a wall near the latrine. Both women sighed. ¡°For now,¡± I said, cutting off complaints, ¡°You will eat and enjoy a break sleeping. Maybe we can even afford some time when I let you wash up, but I don''t see much reason for that at the moment. You will just get dirty again. Maybe tomorrow night if no one shows up.¡± I said with a grin, and both women shivered. I could tell they didn''t like my plan, but I didn''t care if they didn''t like my plan. Instead, I shouted, ¡°Food time!¡± The collared mutes all got up to the cavern, and so did Tamerial as he looked sleepily and fought a little against his restraints. I moved over, moved the rope a little from his mouth, and looked at Emma. ¡°You can help him eat, too,¡± I told her. I moved over to my supplies and pulled out rations for everyone. I got Emma and Kimmy a bit extra and put down food for everyone. The next hour or so was spent watching everyone eat, but there wasn''t any talking. Both women looked like they would collapse, and Emma helped Tamerial eat. He seemed grateful and was the first to say something to me. ¡°Can I be released from my bindings?¡± He asked as he finished his food. ¡°No,¡± I replied simply. ¡°Before you ask, Why? It is because I don''t like you,¡± I finished even more, simply shutting him up. That was not the only reason why. I wanted him as an example for the rest about how conditions for them could be worse. You could end up like Tamerial, who was tied up and gagged. The rest seemed to look at him and no longer felt pity. ¡°Now,¡± I said, grabbing stuff from what we looted. I took a bunch of Tent stuff and started to finish the construction of the Latrine so people could cover it up and do their business. When it finished, I got a notification that I looked at, much to my surprise. ¡ª- New Trait - Wilderness Builder You know how to make or tell others how to make basic wilderness buildings that others will desperately need. ¡ª- Another trait to add to the growing list that would come in handy when in the main universe. For now, ¡°Okay, everyone who needs to relieve themselves, that is the spot,¡± I pointed out, and I pointed at Kimmy, ¡°Since you started it, you can test it out.¡± I could see the relief on her face as I pointed that out, and she didn''t care that she had to in front of everyone. Most turned their heads, but I noticed Longtooth didn''t. Next was a bit where everyone took turns but myself relieving themselves. I thought I would like to give them some privacy, but these were captured. Any privacy would be a bad thing for me as it gave captives a place where they could do things out of my sight when I was around. So I let it continue and untied Tamerial to let him go to the bathroom. Then I tied him right back up and pinned him to the ground. The entire time, he was under the guidance of a shotgun pointed right at him as he was the most free to do as he liked when out of the bindings. With all of that being over, it was time to move on to what I actually wanted to do. Playing the game! I know these were all things that I had to be doing, but I was looking forward to setting up some traps. I wanted to make traps closer to the cave entrance in case someone spotted me when I was looking out the crack. That would increase my security and allow me to expand. I ordered Emma and Kimmy to bed, put the other collared mutes away from the guns, and double-checked Tamerial¡¯s bindings. With that, I was set, and I started to sort through what I would use for traps. With a double check to see if anyone had joined us in the valley, I didn''t see anyone, and it had become dark. It was time to get started! Chapter 68: Unique Quest The night was long as I headed outside and started to lay traps, mostly with the metal I had brought. I sharpened some tent pegs and dug holes before covering them with the nearby vine. I wanted to make the place look as unsettled as possible, and I enjoyed thinking of scenarios where people could fall into them. They were primitive traps and would wound only and not kill. I wanted anyone to be loud and complain a lot if they tried to enter the cave. I wanted them to look for a place to rest instead of storming my cavern¡ªanything to slow them down and create casualties I could leave with instead of being killed. I was digging little pits, and I turned to look at the water and wondered about wild animals, too. Should I hunt as well and kill for some pelts and things like that? It would be fresh food instead of the basic rations that I currently had. I shook my head on that idea and decided against it. I was not out here to hunt animals but NPCs and learn more about this game while doing so. This time that I spent down on the ground taught me a lot about combat in the forest that you normally would not think about when playing older games. Escape from Ohio was one of them, as it was a realistic shooter about a short civil war that happened over an old election. It was a hyper-realistic game you could play on the PC and was exclusive to one console. It was a harsh game that made you watch everything at once. The problem was that the forest work was a little unrealistic, and people complained about it as there were no animals. There were animals around here, and I could see wildlife as I made my way toward the water. I washed myself of the dirt and blood as I needed to be cleaner to sneak up in the future. After a couple of days in the wilderness, you start to stink if you don''t wash up. I got back to work and was happy at the quiet night with nothing but the critters of the night. It was nice, and it was something I hadn''t had since I was young. The forest was foreign, but the feeling of camping was nostalgic. I remembered the times that I went camping with my dad up in the northern parts of Ontario. When we would sit around a campfire and stare up into the sky, he would tell me what he knew about the sky. I missed those days, even if my brother was a pervert and would try to make everything about sex. I guess I wasn''t too far from him in that regard, as I now spent most of my free time doing things sexually. Even my work was something about making people think perverted thoughts about me while I sleep. Then again, who wouldn''t want a job where all you had to really do was sleep? That was the amazing part about sleep streaming. I heard a twig crunch suddenly as I was lost in thought, trying to get a trap finished. This was a simple tent peg that I sharpened, and it would come around a tree and hit you in the ankle. Another wounding trap, and I heard the sound of a couple of voices. It was in the distance, and I was flat against the ground, already working on the trap. I went quiet and no longer was lost in my thoughts. Minutes rolled by, and I heard the sounds getting closer. It was slow, but I heard them get near, and I realized that they were within fifty meters of me now. I turned, and I could start to hear a conversation. ¡°No, I repeat again, we haven''t heard from them, or we wouldn''t be fucking out here, Frank.¡± A woman cursed, ¡°We are here to see if someone attacked them or if they ran off. It has only been a day, and it could easily be nothing. But we are supposed to prioritize calling back. They were here for the most recent bounty hunters and should have seven to bring back. A Solo Rish¡¯an Locktor and a half dozen halfbreeds and human Bounty Hunters.¡± The woman said, and I froze. They were talking about me and the group captured back at my base camp. That had to have been it, and I was considered a rare species! ¡°Hannah, I just don''t feel comfortable; something has been bugging me since we got this assignment from the boss,¡± A distinct, irritating male voice said. There was something about that voice that I hated because even if the words were okay, he made it sound like he was complaining more than speaking. ¡°Fuck, I know, I have a bad feeling too, But we have to do this,¡± The woman said, ¡°They were supposed to report last night, and you know the procedures,¡± She continued, ¡°We will check in if you don''t because we are hunting BOUNTY HUNTERS DIPSHIT!¡± She was loud, and I would have heard them both, but it sounded like his constant complaining exasperated her. ¡°Well, that means that if the camp is gone, then there are bounty hunters out there hunting us!¡± He complained. ¡°No Shit,¡± She sighed, and their voices started to head out into the clearing, and I slowly turned around with my trap not yet completed. ¡°Fuck, Nevermind, there is no camp,¡± The woman suddenly said, her voice sounding dark, ¡°There would have been something visible from the clearing. We either missed them leaving, they are dead, or they were captured. Who knows, but we need to go back and regroup.¡± I frowned as the woman was smart; I wanted to attack these two, maybe buy myself more time, but I didn''t think it would matter. I wanted to move closer and see if I could, so I grabbed my handgun as I crawled forward. My mind was mixed on what to do as I wanted to both hide and engage for various reasons. Still, I moved forward when I heard the woman start to talk. ¡°This is Hannah Scout, pair three. We have no contact with the base. No sign that they have a camp at location Waterfall Repeat, No sign of activity at Location Waterfall.¡± Then she stopped as I moved closer. I wanted to catch these two just after they reported whatever they reported. Well, that would depend on what the enemy base commander wanted them to do. I know what I would do if I were them, and I did not want to scouts looking around the area while I wanted to make more traps. ¡°Yes, Boss, I found no activity here. No bounty hunters, and as it is dark, I see no signs of a large group. They reported that they caught the half-breed group,¡± She said, ¡°I am unsure of what happened, but we see no signs of a fire, which allows us to check where they are. If they camped in the usual spot, then they are not here. I see no signs of an overwatch either in the normal location. So,¡± The woman¡¯s voice trailed off, and I heard the man scoff. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Boss would know all of that,¡± He said, his voice still whiney. Was he related to the other complainer? ¡°I will stand by,¡± She said, and she turned on her male partner as I got closer. I was in an underbrush just a couple of steps away from them, my face covered in dirt as I watched them. ¡°You stupid fuck, I am talking to the boss, and I answer her questions. That is simple; I don''t care if it is easy to deduce. Could you imagine that she sometimes has to talk to people like Darrel?¡± She snapped. ¡°Oh,¡± He said, this time not sounding whiney. ¡°Oh, My ass, not all of us in the scout group can think for ourselves. Now shut the fuck up. We might have some bounty hunters wandering around. I doubt that the bounty hunter or bounty hunters would stick around, but you never know,¡± She said, and the man thankfully shut up. Both the man and the woman were in the dark, and I could barely see the outline. I could see something like horns on the woman as she stared out into the clearing. Both of them were carrying something like rifles and were now quiet. It was a time when nothing happened, and I wondered what the choice would be when my eyes suddenly widened. ¡ª- New Unique Quest Obtained: Location Waterfalls Temporary Camp You have discovered potential information on why people are staying in this area. You believe they may be Criminals ambushing Bounty Hunters as they come into the forest seeking Criminals. They take them and bring them to this area as a gathering location before sending them somewhere else. The boss is now aware they are missing or dead and is sending a force to the location in a couple of days. 71:59:59 This quest is automatically accepted as long as you are in the area. Completing this quest will mean killing/capturing an unknown amount of reinforcements. You may leave the area and Evade. Reward: Chain Quest, ???? Failure: Death in defending the area ¡ª-- ¡°Yes, boss,¡± The woman suddenly said and turned to the man. ¡°We will scout the area and report to the boss when he reinforces us. Apparently, this is not the only base camp that lost contact so it will be a day or so.¡± ¡°Fuck, that means we are out here for at least two days,¡± The man whined, and I rolled my eyes hearing him. My mind behind them was spinning as both moved over to a tree. They both looked annoyed in the darkness, and it seemed they were resting. I needed both these ¡®scouts¡¯ dead so I could set up. If I were going to have visitors in three days, I would need to set some things up! There would need to be a decoy camp and various other tricks I could pull. But with these two here, they would have information on what had happened these couple of days. I could even clean up more of the traces of the previous group with the slaves back in the cave. In fact, I could potentially pick up the woman, as she didn''t sound whiney, and take her into the cave as a fresh slave. I frowned; I could also just make Tamerial a slave and be done with it. Right now, I was here, and I knew where these two were. It would take a long time to sneak back to the cave. It''s too long; they might move to a better resting spot where I didn''t know they were. They were also off guard right now resting, and I could already hear the guy grumbling. ¡°Fuck I had an appointment with Katey back at camp,¡± He said. ¡°That slut?¡± The woman replied, ¡°Come on, Frank, you should have standards,¡± She quipped. ¡°Fuck you, Hannah, Only Emma was the good output, and she is now missing in action. I was hoping that they were here and I could finish a nice night with her,¡± The man replied. ¡°Bah, Emma is better at munching carpet; you men are a waste of her skills,¡± the woman replied, and I wanted to chuckle. So it seemed that Emma had a really good reputation among the criminals as a slut. ¡°Ah, She squeezes cock so good, though,¡± Frank said wistfully, ¡°Fuck, now I am hard,¡± He complained, his voice whiny. I could visibly see his entire body turn to Hannah, and I heard her chuckle, ¡±Fuck no, you go to the bushes and think of Emma,¡± ¡°Fuck, I just looked at you, Hannah, I was- Fuck it. Fine, I want to fuck, let''s fuck,¡± Frank complained, and I watched from my distance. I moved slowly, hoping to get in a position where I could take these two out one at a time. I had a grenade to make a trap, but I would rather not use my limited number of grenades. ¡°Fuck no, I am not Emma; I will cover us just go fap in the bushes; I do not want your Wolf-kin genes on me or in me, Fucking gross, I am a high Elf,¡± She scoffed. ¡°Yeah, Yeah, I get it; you''re an uptight bitch,¡± He complained, then started to walk away, and she turned to the bushes and looked out into the clearing. ¡°Fucking asshole can fuck off,¡± She said to herself as I started to creep toward her, and she pulled out her rifle. I watched her as she took out the magazine and looked at the ammo before reloading her gun. In the distance, you could hear the grunts from the man as he beat his meat. It was very faint, and I could hear a disgusted noise from the woman as I almost reached her. Minutes crawled, and I moved up into a crouch position, pulling out my knife, and was a step behind her when it happened. Crunch Hannah turned to me, her eyes widening, but my knife was in front of me, and I moved faster than I thought I could. My knife was up to her neck and slicing across her neck before she figured out that I wasn''t Frank trying to sneak up and rape her. Instead, I was the very person she was on the lookout for. Her eyes widened, and she tried to shout, and her mouth opened, and nothing came out but a wheeze. She looked at me, then looked scared, and then slowly fell to the forest floor in a slump. I took her gun and wrapped it around my shoulder, and I sighed in relief. One dead, and I started to move towards the sound of the dick being masturbated. I moved with purpose, and I heard him grunt, ¡°Yeah, Take it, Hannah; you like that, you high elf bitch?¡± He demanded as I walked up behind him. Then he twitched, and I moved a bit faster. I saw even in the darkness as he smirked, turning to look at me. ¡°Oh, changed your mind, Hannah?¡± He asked. His cock was a large ten inches, but his eyes widened as he realized that in the darkness I wasn''t Hannah. I had larger breasts and Rish¡¯an Locktor ears. I moved forward, ¡°OH FUCK! HANNAH!¡± Frank screamed to his dead partner as I had already cut the distance to the man only armed with his cock. My hand grabbed his neck, and my knife punctured just behind his chin and moved up into his head, hitting resistance on the way. I pulled out and stabbed his neck and heart quickly, and the man never had a chance. I had taken him from complete surprise, and he was now dead, bleeding to death. I didn''t know if it was from the first stab, second, or third, but it didn''t matter to me. That was two more dead bodies to my catalog as a stealth fighter. But now I had a group coming here. There wasn''t a thought in my mind not to defend the Waterfalls. This was exactly what I wanted to do in the pro league. I had to start somewhere and was looking forward to this attack. I even had a timer for when they would get here. Fuck yeah, I am going for this! I smirked. Now, It was time to loot these two before I got started on planning. Chapter 69: Camp Trap The night went quickly, and it quickly started to move into the day. I let Kimmy and Emma sleep through the night. When they awoke, I gave them some rations and started to survey the area around me. I took a look and remembered where I laid traps and realized that they spoke around where I would be. They were all focused on the area around the Vines. It would only take someone thinking in the middle of combat or tripping the traps to think something might be over here. So, I would have to expand that net. Next was where I wanted to fake a camp. I already knew that, and I had some of the tents and things like that I could set up. I would just put it where my captives were camping and set up traps all along that cave up to the spotting post they chose. I couldn''t help but wonder if there was a way I could set something up that could have something up there shoot multiple times. Although I could hope that it would be accurate, it would be best if it shot more than once. I needed to convince them that there was someone up there and that they were firing down on them. At least a clip or two. Maybe two rifles? That meant I needed some way to remote-fire them. I could think of a device already, but it was linking it up and attaching it to something that would allow me to. There was so much for me to do and so little time to do it in. There was an obvious first thing to do. That was simple to figure out, and I gathered the small packs the scouts were carrying and their rifles. So I started to pick through my things, and I realized I had more than enough guns to go around at the moment from the previous nights. I had Six Rifles, one of which was a sniper from the first night. All of these rifles took 5mm rounds, which was super useful for laying out traps at this point. I had twelve assault rifles, all of which took a 5mm round, which was not compatible with my own rifle. Three shotguns all were pump shotguns, and I thanked the heavens that they were the two that were probably hit by the grenade. They had some more electric charge shots and normal rounds. I had twenty-five pistols in total, not including my own. Some were revolvers, and there were various calibers, but none of them mattered. I would stick to my own. One was a revolver, which had a super heavy trigger. It''s not something useful for a trap, in my opinion. Most of the handguns, in the end, were 9mm rounds and were good for me. Frowning, I had a lot of ammo for the 5mm, and it was tempting to carry an assault rifle of that type just because of the surplus ammo I had. To be honest, last night''s group was more lightly armed than the first group, it seemed. I think they were supposed to link up with the first group and be a force multiplier instead of being on their own. That would make the most sense anyway. Instead of contemplating the failings of the previous groups, I was now looking through what I had, and to say it was a little was a lie. I never even noticed how much I made Kimmy carry up when I moved to the last camp. They may have had fewer people, but much more than the second group. I found various supplies and gas canisters for a mini generator. There was a tonne of fuel, and it might be quiet. I might need that to charge the laptop to keep those others alive. Then there were tents and various other things that I found, which made me happy. I found rope and tarps¡ªstring and things to cook. I could start a forest fire if I needed with what I had. I had more than enough food supplies for these people, too. Instantly, I knew I could set up an explosive base camp, but the trigger was the problem. I went through things and found a couple of remote starters for the camp equipment. I could not help but smile, and I had already found that they had started a small piolet light that I could use to snap a trigger in a small time frame. I could even include the cookware in the fake camp. A grin crossed my face as I thought about what I should be doing. I got up quickly, moved to look into the crack over the valley, and smiled. It would work, and I could start killing from here without an issue. Instantly, I got up and moved, ¡°Kimmy, Emma!¡± I announced as they worked on the new prison area. They had barely started to chip into it. They both stopped looking exhausted, and I smiled.¡±Both of you are following me,¡± I told them, and I double-checked to ensure nothing would happen while I was gone. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. I set the laptop up in the air where no one could grab it, just in case, and I got Kimmy and Emma to help pick up the things that were needed. Soon, we were going down the giant staircase and dodging the traps. Instantly, we started to work on my big trap. The enemy wasn''t expecting an enemy camp, but what if I provided an abandoned one? What would their reaction be? What if it had some cover in case someone started to shoot them? These were all very good questions and ones that I was happy to wonder because I was not going to be the one who had to answer them. First, I had Kimmy and Emma start digging, and I started to set up two grenades. Both were flashes, and they would be the last thing to activate. They would be the backup plan to this fight, and I started setting up fuel and various other things into the ground, ready for them to explode. The trigger was a problem; honestly, as long as they all lit on fire, it was a win. I put them under tents so they couldn''t be seen and set up some cooking areas. That was where the trigger was going to be for everything. I was setting up the explosives with four fragmentation grenades that I brought. It would hit the canisters of fuel, and Boom, the fuel and fire would set anyone in the camp on fire. The triggers were all slowly brought over, and all carefully pulled the pins and put them in release mode where the string held them from cooking and blowing up. When the piolet light in the cooking stove, which was running on fuel for some reason, turned on, it would quickly burn the screen, and five seconds later, Boom. It would release everything, and the flashes were set up to take ten seconds from release. Anyone looking at the fire would be blinded, and anyone caught inside would be seriously hurt. That was my initial plan for the enemy camp. I also planned to do more as well, but for now, this was my start. Kimmy, Emma, and I worked on it through the morning and probably into the afternoon. The camp looked it was abandoned recently or like they had headed out not long ago. But what you couldn''t see was the stings ready to set this place ablaze. Kimmy, Emma, and I were now a little exhausted, and I nodded with a smile. The first big trap was set up near the cave I got them in originally. Then I got Kimmy and Emma to clean up the bodies and bury them with the rest. It didn''t take long, and after, we headed back to the base camp. It was time to rest, and I could get some food and let my character nap till nighttime. It would be the best time to start planning my traps. There was a single question in my mind as we brought back the extra things from setting up the tents. Would they attack at exactly the timer or sometime after? These weighed on my mind as we started to bring everything back into the base camp. It was a long day, and I handed out the rations and told everyone to rest. The collared mutes looked bored but could remain that way or help out. Which I told them that explicitly. Much to my surprise, two of them started to work on it slowly. I shrugged and went to lie down as I allowed Kimmy and Emma to do, too. With that, I logged out while putting the speed to a one-to-one ratio again. I sighed in relief, got up, got another sandwich from the fridge, and winced at the poor condition of it. I should probably clean my fridge soon, too. Then, I thought of something fun that I might be able to do. Instead of letting my mind wander, I took my sandwich to my computer and looked up more traps: old traps and new traps, mostly around the forest. I started to look at tree trap tutorials, and I started to learn something. Most of these traps were for animals, not humans. The fauna and tree growth would make some of these useless to me as well. It was a difference in the forest, but that didn''t mean I couldn''t find alternatives. There would also be use for trees that could pick up humans. On the way up, I could also have something waiting for them to kill them. As I planned and read into things, many sinister mind games started to enter my head. Then, something began to set in my mind, and I realized there was such a thing as too many traps. There were too many of them, and they would start to suspect traps around every corner, making them less useful. But, I could also make amature traps outside. Ones that were not lethal and ones that were more lethal but more out of the way. One was to pick off stragglers, while others were meant to wound and capture. That would leave the enemy less suspicious of every corner despite the traps. I continued eating my sandwich, thinking about how many traps I should set up. I didn''t want them to think that the Camp was a trap. I needed to kill as many as possible with that large fuel explosion. Who knew if it would even work properly? But if it did, it would stun the enemy and leave them for me to pick off and kill. That was what I wanted, so the question was, How did I want to set it up to maim and kill as many as I could without triggering too much worry? I found myself leaning back in question as I looked at a trap setup that poachers use. It was an interesting trap, and I couldn''t help but think about using it a couple of times in the forest. Chapter 70: Defending the Area It was almost time; after two days of setting up traps after looking them up on the internet, it was finally time. I had started a campfire in the fake camp before I moved up here, and it was still blazing in the distance. I watched over it now from the crack in the wall, and I watched. Watched as nothing happened in the darkness. Days of preparation for this attack, and I made sure that I could even see some signs in the forest. I watched over the Valley in the darkness of the night, listening to the waterfall. It was hypnotic when there was nothing to watch. Looking for the smallest signs of movement, I opened my quest and looked at the timer. ¡ª- New Unique Quest Obtained: Location Waterfalls Temporary Camp You have discovered potential information on why people are staying in this area. You believe they may be Criminals ambushing Bounty Hunters as they come into the forest seeking Criminals. They take them and bring them to this area as a gathering location before sending them somewhere else. The boss is now aware they are missing or dead and is sending a force to the location in a couple of days. 00:00:59 This quest is automatically accepted as long as you are in the area. Completing this quest will mean killing/capturing an unknown amount of reinforcements. You may leave the area and Evade. Reward: Chain Quest, ???? Failure: Death in defending the area ¡ª-- There is less than a minute left before whatever starts to happen, as per the quest. I wasn''t even sure if they would be coming now or in hours. It didn''t matter, as I thought about all the small traps and larger traps I learned to make in this forest. I took my time, and I even caught some small critters by accident with some of them. Trees, sticks, leaves, pitfalls, rope, and so many other little things were in that forest now, but not nearly enough to take out an entire group. That is, unless they were incompetent as hell. Many of the traps were not even meant to kill and only to maim. It would weed out a couple from being in top battle condition if I were lucky. I settled in and watched and waited. The time had come in that minute, and it passed without the place lighting up in fire or anything. I watched for a time. It was boring just watching and waiting, and I wished I could do more as I knew it would soon be morning. I had gotten the quest around the middle of the night, and I had been waiting for hours. Time sort of slowed and got longer at the same time when you were watching, waiting, and listening. Then I heard it after hours; it was the sound of someone crying out in the distance, and I knew a trap had succeeded. ¡°Ah! FUCK MY LEG~!¡± Cried out in the distance. A woman¡¯s scream as I must have surprised someone hard, maybe breaking their leg or stabbing it. Then I heard another scream. ¡°Fuck, there are small traps!¡± Another person cursed a male this time. ¡°Where the fuck are the scouts?¡± I smiled, and I turned my body to look at where I heard the shouts. Or the best I could. Their screams in the morning light readily gave them away to my aim. I watched and listened, but I heard no more shouts. They must have silenced each other, and I was happy I maimed at least two of them. I watched in silence for another twenty minutes. Nothing happened for those long twenty minutes before I saw a bush moving and a person with a machete cut through. I knew where they were now, and I frowned as I knew I put a trap nearby there. I saw the person in the clearing look very annoyed through my scope. Then, they moved forward toward the camp. Then more broke through the clearing, and one stumbled out, falling face first. I saw the person and heard them lightly curse in the distance, but I couldn''t hear what the curses were as they were not yelling. Then, more started to filter out of the forest, and some were injured and looking annoyed. I could see through the scope in the darkness people limping before moving into the morning light. Long shadows plagued my sight as the morning sun started to shine in the clearing, and I watched as some moved toward the camp. I could see them conversing, and I started to count eleven enemies. Then, more filtered out, and some started to move to the camp. I could see that some were arguing and pointing to the abandoned camp, and some pointed to the overwatch cave. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. I smiled; the glint of the rifle I left there may be visible, and then I spotted something that I instantly made note of. A rifle barrel behind where a woman broke cover. Someone had a scope and was lying on the ground. They were looking in that direction, and I frowned. These people were laying back up plans even as they were clumsily moving into the clearing. Taking account of what I could see, there were roughly ten to twenty people now, with at least seven injured. The weapons were all rifles or assault rifles with handguns as side arms. These people were much better armed than the previous people, and I watched as seven moved toward the camp. I watched and waited, and seven moved in and started to look around the camp. They tore open the camp, and I decided it was now or never. I did not want them breaking the trap by accident, so I hit the button on my side, tuning in the pilot light in the camp. Watching and waiting took only a moment as five seconds seemed to take an eternity before suddenly and with fury, The trap sparked. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Four explosions went off nearly simultaneously, taking out the camp and everyone turned and looked. I turned, surveyed, and did not continue to watch as I saw someone suddenly stand before screaming from where they had been hidden before. There was another person hidden, and I lined my gun up. Now was the time to start shooting, and I took my first shot just as the flashbangs hit their sight after their delay. BANG BANG! BANG! My sniper rifle thundered with the grenades, and the guy who looked like he just lost someone important to him blossomed with blood from his throat. Half his neck was cut off, and a stream of blood squirted out. But I didn''t watch the carnage for anything more than confirming the kills. I was happy the first bullet hit, and I moved to the person that I caught with their rifle peeking out. None of them seemed to know that I was shooting yet as they stared at the carnage of the camp. I took a shot, and I saw some blood splatter on some leaves. I hit the person, but if they were dead, I had no idea. I didn''t have the luxury of confirming the kill. I moved to the next, someone who cleared the forest just moments before staring at the carnage but seemed to look over in my direction when I just shot. They had not reacted yet, and I could see their eyes widen as I pulled the trigger. That was the last expression on their face as their stomach busted open, and a scream of pain woke everyone who was watching the camp explosion. Their eyes were burning from the flashbang, and they were stunned. Now they knew someone was shooting at them, and I picked up the second remote as I moved carefully to my next target, who was running for cover. I gave it a step, and I shot. Fuck I missed it. It wasn''t a perfect shot, and the bullet landed behind the runner as they dove for cover. The group was a little in disarray. There were seven that got blown up in the camp, and three more were down, but the other eleven or twelve were looking lost. They didn''t know where I was shooting from, and someone dove into a space where I could see him. They were lying on their stomach looking scared, and this time, as I finished pulling the trigger, his spine would never work again for him. Then I pressed the remote I had, and suddenly, from the overwatch, the gun started to shoot. The extra fire made the group hit the ground, but they all got in ¡®better¡¯ cover that gave me an angle now. I took my time in return and pressed the remote another time as I reloaded my sniper rifle. This was an ideal trap. The enemy was shitting itself while I calmly started to kill them. Although it was also taking longer than I thought, I brought my crosshair on someone just as they were about to move out of cover. I saw him move up, and they brought their rifle to shoot, and I had no idea what they were aiming at. The bullet ripped open their throat a moment later, and I moved to the next. There were more screams, and they were pointing all over, trying to find me, when I noticed a person looking out from the forest. They were much more on point as they were looking in the right direction. They were partially hidden, but when I pulled the trigger, the blood blossomed and squirted out. I hit an artery, and I smiled viciously. ¡°It''s coming from the Waterfall Cliff face! There is only one shooter!¡± Someone yelled. They all started to move, and I cursed as they generally found cover from me. There were still at least nine people left, although my count was all over the place as only seconds had passed from the start of the fight. Someone got up and ran for cover, and I watched as they hit pitfall. I winced as I saw a short stick through their foot, and the horror and pain laced their face as they hit the ground. Hard. I followed up quickly with a bullet and saw blood blossom from their back as I shot them. I moved on and found another, and I realized something. They were finding it extremely hard to find me in my location. That was very good, and I turned and found another, and I started to hear bullets flying all over. Who knew if one might just hit me randomly? I couldn''t think about that, and I started to take more and more shots. I started to miss more as I took less time to aim, so I slowed it down. Pretend it is a shooting gallery. The Enemies, not knowing how to get where I am, unlike old games, wouldn''t just run toward the cave. I was lining up a shot, shooting them or missing them. Still, I would shoot at them till I killed them before moving onto the next. Some started to run but none made it to the tree line. My fire would hit them in the back as they ran or for one case, took out his leg. Then, they stopped firing at me altogether. The battle was over, and bodies littered the ground in pools of blood. I looked around, looking for more and counting the bodies themselves. I saw roughly twenty-two in total if I remember correctly, and I counted fifteen on the ground. There were roughly seven that ran to the camp, and there was nothing that said the mission was over. That meant one thing. I had to go out and confirm on my own. Shit. Chapter 71: Mercy Killing It was time to move down, check the bodies, and complete the quest. I felt my heart rate and adrenaline start to pump as I put aside my sniper rifle and felt like I had lost a little of myself before going into this battle. It was an odd feeling, but I backed out of the crack and needed to check on the enemies. I rushed out and grabbed a couple of extra magazines that I had prepared for this. I quickly moved out of the cave, jumping down the cave''s giant steps till I hit the bottom and started to walk carefully through the path. The precarious journey was quick, and I was at the vines. I carefully stepped out, revealing myself for the first time to the potential enemies. With my hesitant step outside, I looked around in the morning light and saw only the remains of a battle before me. Looking around, you could tell that all the enemies had been injured or killed, and I heard a couple of groans. Checking my earlier blindspots, I found no one even approached a hundred meters from me. It was a show of force in my positioning that made me smile. Still, I heard the groans of some of the enemies, notifying me enemies were still alive. I turned my attention to checking all around me and the foliage while stepping away from my cave. I was out in the open and moved around a couple of traps I laid earlier. I heard more groans as I moved forward towards the first groaning man, and I pointed quickly at his head with my rifle, setting it to single fire, and placed a bullet between their eyes, ending their misery. The groans of that person suddenly ended as I reaped their life, and I moved forward, smelling the stench of charred meat. I specifically didn''t try to smell it and paid more attention to my ears, listening to soft rustling in the distance near the forest line. There was someone still moving out there, and my senses peaked. I moved deliberately forward as if I didn''t know where they were, but I kept my eyes where I heard the soft rustling. I turned and blasted a fresh hole into another suffering attacker, and the person did not take the bait to bring their gun to the ready. I felt an itch that the person might be aiming at me now. I hated the feeling and heard the soft rustling again as I neared another groaning woman. The armor she wore had a hole in it, and she was gasping for air. I could hear the rasp of her lungs as the blood filled them. What a fucking amazing amount of realism this game brought. It was a game, though, and I chanted that in my head as I made it look like I was going to open a new hole in her skull when I heard it. In the corner of my eye, just by where a tree was with some foliage covering part of the root, I saw a barrel start to peek out. Caught you! I snapped over and aimed at the rifle, looking down the sights, and my ears pressed against the top of my head as I turned my gun to burst fire. I pulled the trigger, and three shots blasted out of my rifle, and the gun before me fired up in the air. I started to run forward as I noticed the person get up suddenly. It seemed I missed my first shots, and I pulled the trigger while aiming at them again. I heard a cry and more rustling in the trees as the person continued to flee. The chase was on, and I ran into the trees only seconds behind them. I didn''t know if there were more, but I didn''t think there could be more. I saw green blood on some nearby plants and chased after what I thought would be their blood. I must have hit them because I saw blood on various plants as I chased them into the forest, and it wasn''t as deep as I heard a scream. ¡°AHHHHH~! IT FUCKING HURTS!¡± A feminine scream echoed out, and I ran forward and found a green-looking woman hanging up in the air, dangling by a foot captured in one of the tree traps I learned about on the computer. I smiled and walked forward, seeing a bullet wound in their clave. She wasn¡¯t going to make it far on that leg, even if she wanted to try to make it far. ¡°FUCKKK~!¡± She screamed, and I walked up to her and silenced her with a pistol in her face as I looked around. ¡°How many came to attack me?¡± I asked bluntly, ¡°Be careful, and don''t be loud, or I will silence you,¡± I said, my voice cold as ice. The green woman went cross-eyed, looking at the pistol aimed at the center of her head. I could see the tears starting to pour onto her forehead as the blood was dripping down her leg toward her torso. To make things more fun for her, I caught her by the injured leg; it seemed instead of the good one. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. I wonder how much pain she was in? ¡°We, We were like, fuck, it hurts, I can''t even remember, please,¡± She started to plead. ¡°I don''t give a fuck; give me a number, bitch.¡± ¡°Twenty-five! We were like twenty-five,¡± She cried, pain laced in her words. ¡°Now, tell me a reason I shouldn''t just shoot you and claim your dead bounty over your alive bounty?¡± I continued while looking around. I saw her pale as her mind rapidly spun to think of an answer. My ears were perked up, listening for any sound, and I hated that my quest had not been completed. I thought of another question for my captive quickly, ¡°How many people survived your foolish assault here?¡± I asked. ¡°I saw Tracy running, too,¡± The green woman said, ¡°I didn''t see anything else.¡± I looked at her as I listened around and I wanted to curse. Did I fail my quest? I turned my attention to the hanging woman and looked at the ground, and I saw a lack of a weapon on her. I didn''t like that, and I saw both her hands were free. Why was I risking the fact that she might have another weapon? I moved forward, and then I heard a noise. There is more rustling nearby. My ears twitched, and the green woman cried, ¡°Please, don''t kill me; I really don''t want to die,¡± She begged. My ears were twitching, and I could hear movement. It wasn''t in the immediate area, but- ¡°Please, I will do whatever you want; collar me and send me back to those work camps, Please,¡± She continued to beg, making it hard for me to hear, and I wanted to curse. ¡°Shut the fuck up, let me think about it,¡± I snapped instantly, and the woman started to sob. I didn''t blame her for the sobbing, but I could still hear someone moving, and I was seriously contemplating killing the hanging bitch to better listen to the other movement. I doubted it was an animal after all the loud explosions in the area, and I heard them coming closer. It was odd, though; the sound was getting closer, but it was like it wasn''t at ground level quite right. It- My mind caught up to my ears, and I looked up and turned my body toward the source of the sound. I saw it just in time as the person was just in sight through the trees. They were on a branch just behind another tree and were bringing up a rifle. It seemed this person had been getting themselves up in the tree, and that was the rustling of leaves I heard, and my eyes widened as I saw them bring up their rifle, aiming it at me. I could tell they were seconds away from shooting, and my rifle was slung at my chest. My pistol was not ideal, but it was already in my hand, and I pointed at them as they noticed I noticed them. It was a chain of each other noticing that the other noticed them, and my finger stroked the trigger. I didn''t aim, and I didn''t have time to. As I leaped back toward the nearest tree for cover, I started to shoot my pistol in their general direction as fast as I could, emptying the clip as I panicked. I couldn''t die! My mind was filled with this thought, and I emptied the clip in their general direction in seconds. And I pulled up my rifle on instinct to stop it from hitting my body as I ran. My ears were no longer flat against my head as I tried to listen for if they were chasing me. After swinging around it, I crashed against a tree, making sure I was against cover as I tried to listen even harder. Fuck, my heart is beating hard and thumping in my ears, and I put my handgun in the holster before pulling up my assault rifle into position. My ears quickly perked up, and I listened for any noise, only to hear a groan and the green woman sobbing. ¡°Please, Tracy, Help me,¡± I heard her cry. ¡°Shut the fuck up, Heli, I swear that bitch is fucking omniscient.¡± I barely heard a feminine voice whisper and realized in my haste for cover that I was far from that green woman. I dove past at least six trees to get to where I was now, and I was just out of sight of them. The woman must have thought I ran off farther than I did in a panic, and I moved out carefully and saw it. I didn''t even think that much as the woman wasn''t cutting down her friend. Instead, she was looking out, and my rifle snapped into position, and my thumb hit the fire rate to full auto. I pulled the trigger, and I felt my assault rifle start to bark. My ears flattened, and I felt my tail swish behind me, all while the woman got hit again and again. I could see that her armor held up for a second before deep red blood erupted from her as I hit her again and again. It was a stunning display of aim from me as I felt the assault rifle hit my shoulder again and again. I felt like everything was slow for just the briefest moment before everything sped up, and I watched as the woman collapsed, and just behind her, the green woman lay with fresh bullet holes. I stopped shooting and moved forward toward them in a rush. The woman I was shooting was coughing up blood, and I shot her more than five or six times in a short time. I didn''t even notice that I had compensated for the recoil almost on instinct, which was odd. I had not done much shooting except in my previous games. Those felt so much different from this game, and I watched as the woman died. I turned my attention to the green woman who was living in my trap just minutes ago. Maybe even seconds ago, as my sense of time felt off right now, and she was coughing blood, looking up at me. I could see the wish to beg me more to live in her eyes, but I didn''t even know where to start treating her if I wanted to save her, and I could tell she died before I even made a decision on whether I wanted to save her or not. Now, I felt odd. I felt fucking weird as I watched two more NPCs die, and it felt fucking real. It''s all a game. It''s all a game. It''s all a fucking game. ¡°Fuck!¡± I snapped, ¡°It''s a fucking game, it''s a goddamn game.¡± I snapped once more, reassuring myself as I watched two NPCs die, and it felt real. I turned and walked away, and I went to put the other NPCs still struggling on the ground, waiting for death out of their misery. I placed bullets in each of their heads and listened for any more. I knew I was distracting myself from my other thoughts as I went around cleaning up the battlefield. When I put a bullet in the last dying survivor''s head, I got a series of notifications. Chapter 72: Updated Traits ¡ª- Unique Quest Completed: Location Waterfalls Temporary Camp You have discovered potential information on why people are staying in this area. You believe they may be Criminals ambushing Bounty Hunters as they come into the forest seeking Criminals. They take them and bring them to this area as a gathering location before sending them somewhere else. You have Massacred the Group looking to resecure the Waterfalls for the unknown Bandit Group. Turn in their identities and the battle recording for additional rewards. ¡ª- ¡ª- New Trait Euthanasia: Kill those who are suffering quickly. ¡ª I shuddered as I noticed the new trait, and I shuddered as I saw a third notification. ¡ª New Trait: Bait (intermediate) A Skilled Trapper baiting those Traps ¡ª- I smiled, and I decided that it was time to look at my Traits once I was back in cover. I looked around again, and I didn''t see anything that might change things when a new Notification showed up again, ¡ª- Unique Quest Obtained: The Crew behind it all You took out a group of bandits you suspect of enslaving and attacking Bounty Hunters when they first entered the Saint''s forest. After Eliminating a large group, you cannot help but wonder if you can take out the entire unknown group. Another thought is that you might investigate how this Bandit group knows when Bounty Hunters are entering the Forest. Rewards for clearing the quest: Increased previous rewards from ¡°Location Waterfalls Temporary Camp¡± And a Voucher Consequences for not doing the quest or not accepting: Nothing Failure Conditions: You Die. ¡ª Another new quest, basically looking to discover how they knew about me and the other group currently in my camp, got discovered before we entered. It was an interesting question that I would not mind getting answered. I had very limited interactions with anyone other than the shop or the AI Taxis. Honestly, while I was in the forest, I did not really have much else to do other than try the quest out. The quest never said that anyone was going to be showing up here. The bigger questions now were going to be if I should stay here or not. Should I bring back my current loot and captures from this forest? Maybe I could even return to do the quest after freeing my hands of these people. All of these were considerations in my head as I moved to grab my tablet. I quickly started to take pictures of those that had enough facial features to be clear enough for the Bounty list. There was more than I was expecting, and the attack was harsh. Going around and snapping the pictures was a little cathartic, too. It showed me one more thing as well. It was proof that I was getting better at this game. My sniper was now easier to control, and within a certain range, I could reap the lives of my enemies without much-aiming issues. Once you started to gain some distance, it was really difficult. Then again, I knew I could lead shots and know the drop in the old games. It took getting used to it, though, and I was far from that with this sniper rifle. She was deadly accurate, though, and that was enough. I should also check the ammo I had left for my Sniper after that last battle. I knew I had gone through at least three or four magazines, but I was half sure it was five. I missed more often than I cared to admit to myself, too. I was limited in my ammunition out here in the forest and had to pay attention to that. There were the lighter rifles that I looted from the bandits, but- My thoughts were interrupted when a bounty came up different from all the others instead of listing them roaming with other men and women. This person was one of the ones to enter the camp. The blast ripped off a leg and an arm while ripping open their back. It was a pretty quick death, but looking over this NPCs details, it was too good of a death for him. Enjoying the story?

They are believed to be armed but without Heavy Weapons. Proceed with discretion. ¡ª I wanted to spit on the dead body of this thing. This was no person in my eyes if the bounty was correct¡ªa disgusting person or NPC or whatever. Sighing, I moved on as there was a growing number of Federation Credits to my name if I made it through here. Honestly, Bounty hunting paid for itself, even if I do have to give a bunch back to that office back on the first world I started on. I would be making some serious bank, regardless. It was a high-risk, high-reward job. Maybe I could even buy some good light armor after this. I needed to learn more about the economy of this game after this escapade in the forest. Maybe even hire an engineer to assist me in crafting and teaching me. I would love to make some of my explosive traps a reality. There was nothing like a big boom for someone who thought they were sneaking up on you. Finishing with the pictures, including those in the forest, I counted twenty-eight combatants in the end. Nine had fallen in the end to my camp trap. It took out a third of them in one go and put them into disarray before I started shooting. There was also a couple that fell to some of my petty traps in the field, but most died to my sniper rifle. It was a harsh wake-up call for me to realize that the same could happen to me with a good enough position and hiding spot. They were able to know which direction I was shooting from, but not exactly where. The crack in the cliff wall wasn''t exactly obvious either, and I ripped through their ranks, destroying their morale as I killed them. Now, instead of deciding what I would do this instant, I needed to start the clean-up and get ready to settle in for the night. I barely even remember what time it is in the real world, but I can definitely feel the need to leave the universe and relax. I needed to have a night to myself. No, I am thinking a full fucking day at this point because I was really stressed. I still felt fucking gross as I watched that green woman die, contemplating if I should have let her live or not. The more I thought about it, the more fucked up I felt. I needed a break and to center myself that this was a goddamn game and not reality. Or at least be able to separate the two into two different identities. Because That was fucked up, and I knew it. I shook my head as I walked through the path and started to take the stairs. I noticed that I was hungry as I climbed up, and I knew I still had to collect everything out there. Fuck it, break time and feeding time. I would let them eat before they started cleaning up all the dead bodies, and I would take some time to look at my character screen. ¡ª- Name: Sleepy Wonder Class: Gun Specialist Race: Rish¡¯an Locktor Specialization: Artisan Profession: Gun manufacturer (Automatically chosen with Class) Gender: Futanari ¡ª-- Traits: Exhibitionist: Does not mind appearing before others naked.

No one had made it that far or were keeping their mouths shut. I really rather they wouldn''t, but I knew that someone was going to let the cat out of the bag soon. Someone had to because they wanted their fifteen minutes of fame. Love those idiots. Why settle for fifteen minutes of fame when you can take that information and sell it to a significant guild or, I guess, corporations? Or use that information and get ahead of others for the pro league? With the fact that Gabin Corporation started a real money trade back and forth, that meant that there was going to be an economic incentive to actually turn credits into real cash and real cash into credits. I had no idea how many federation credits were currently worth, but I didn''t even know if I wanted to convert it into cash. Sure, I could pay some bills, but probably not all of them. Turning them into gear and other things to earn even more cash in the game made more sense to me. All of this character¡¯s armor and equipment would become investments into future profits¨CNot to mention Ura¡¯s starship. If we bring that into the main universe, that was a constant stream of money for me. That, along with transportation to new planets. I had no idea how much a starship cost, and that should be something I rectify when I get back. Not long after, everyone completed lunch, and I got my two captive bandits to start to head out with me. It was time to pick up loot and clean up the area of my traces. Well, not the traps, just those who fell for them. Chapter 73: Shopping Therapy It took hours to clean up the battlefield, and everybody was exhausted by the end. I tried to make the valley look clean once more before packing it in for the night. I needed a break, and I brought everyone back after securing the loot inside the cave. There were a lot of guns now inside the cavern where we were, and I let them feed the dog guy and everyone else as I ate and drank water. My supplies were fine at this point, and I picked up several packs from the Raiders. When I finished cleaning up and putting my criminal slaves to bed, I logged out feeling stressed and tired as hell. I put the time dilation to one to one time and slowly got out of the VR pod. I stretched, standing up, and stepped out of my room. I felt dead right now, and I needed to move my body somehow. I walked into my closet stripping and noticed that my laundry was starting to pile up, and I had a couple of loads to do. I looked at all my clothes and wanted to pick up a couple more. I wanted to get some stress out by going shopping for some new sleepwear. I liked thinking about what the perverts might like despite myself. It almost seemed pure how much they loved my sleeping dress-up. I knew they were looking at me pervertedly, but I had been used to that my whole life. I wasn''t above a little fan service, and frankly, some of the things my brother taught me were very perverted. He was a fucking freak pervert. I shook my head, not wanting to think about my brother, and remembered that I told the cucks wife to come here. Or was it the cuck herself? I don''t remember, but I could always send a message to them to tell them not to come tonight. Honestly, the thought of being dominant tonight made me frown. There was no way I wanted to be a top tonight, and the thought lowered my sex drive. I grabbed my gym clothes, and I thought about tossing them aside before getting up and walking to the bathroom. I was sweaty from the pod, or I felt like I was sweaty, and so I got into the shower after stripping naked. Then, I got into the shower and quickly hosed my body down with some light body wash. It was a utilitarian shower visit, and I got out just as quickly. I dried myself off quickly and walked out of my bathroom, grabbing my phone. I walked back into my closet bedroom and typed up a message to the couple I had been playing with at night. I told them I forgot if we planned something for tonight, but either way, I would be canceling it if we had plans or not. I also quickly noted that I wanted to go out shopping for tonight and looked at my casual clothes. I needed something I could quickly change out of. I grabbed a good bra in teal and panties that matched before grabbing some looser ripped jeans for the look and a tank top with a cool leather jacket. It looked a little simple, but I didn''t care. I wanted something simple that was easy to strip so I could try on some new clothing. I finished dressing and pulled up the Uber app, requesting a ride. With my five-star rating as a passenger with over forty reviews, I should have one quickly. Meanwhile, I pulled up my banking app to look at the current balance. With what I was making this month so far, I thought about it. I know I shouldn''t splurge, but this month has been a boon. The viewers from a couple of raids had been generous with my stream while I had been sleeping. I could afford to spend a little more on the outfits, which I could also write as business expenses. With my need to rationalize my vain side, I was going to leave my apartment for the first time in a week. Maybe even longer, as I was having trouble remembering the last time I left my place. I grabbed my keys and locked my door on the way out. Just the notion of going out and shopping had me smiling as I got on the elevator, and soon I was waiting for my Uber. A minute later, I got into the car with the driver, who had a nice five-star review, and I told him to go to my favorite shopping center with a dozen brands I could afford. After confirming that I was his passenger, I relaxed back in my seat, feeling growing excitement. I knew this was my vain, materialistic side showing, but I could not wait to do some retail therapy. There was nothing like being in a store trying on new clothing. I wonder if I could find something that made me look like a badass. I also wanted to find something that would make me look cute. Maybe it is something that I could go to the bar in and get picked up. I could do with a night being the bottom right now. I could feel the desire to bottom for someone. To truly let them ravish my body. I was having my masochist side come out a bit after unleashing my darkest side a couple of times. Now, I wanted someone to pin me down. I wonder if that BDSM bar is open tonight? My mind was a swirl of random thoughts as I needed to blow off some steam. Images of the game''s battlefield kept entering my mind here and there from time to time already, and I saw the bloodshed. If that were going to be every game in the pro league, they would have to tone down the gore. It felt a little too realistic. I shivered as I remembered the guts pouring out of a man''s stomach from the camp trap, and I shuddered once more. Space combat would not have that problem, at least. ¡°You know what, I am not going to think about that game at all,¡± I said aloud, promising myself. ¡°Tonight is to blow off some steam and take a night without thinking about it at all. I need a break, so I am taking one!¡± This was an announcement to myself despite the Uber driver looking back at me. ¡°Do you want me to ask or not?¡± The Driver piped in respectfully. The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°Sorry, that was for me,¡± I replied with a smile as I saw us getting closer. Everywhere in Ontario, it took a bit to drive unless you were next door, and I smiled, ¡°I have been thinking about work too much, and I am a little stressed. Tomorrow, I will be back at it, But tonight, I get to enjoy myself.¡± ¡°Ah, important to take time for yourself and destress,¡± The Driver replied with a smile, ¡°Otherwise, we burn out and are unable to perform. I hope you have a great night tonight; go enjoy yourself, girl,¡± He finished with a grin. ¡°Thank you, Although you haven''t finished bringing me to my destination,¡± I replied, and we both chuckled before returning to ourselves. What a great driver, knowing when to talk and when not to. I relaxed into the seat and thought about what I wanted to buy. Definitely an outfit for tonight; I wanted something cute or maybe saucy? I wanted to bottom tonight and be ravished to forget things. So maybe even both? My mind continued to think of the possibilities when the car stopped, and I thanked the driver before exiting the car. I sent the money and put in a great review for the guy. He was really a great driver, and I headed to the first shop. You needed to start with over clothing. I would move on to undergarments later. Walking into the first brand, called Bombers, was a darker punk theme. They were newer, and I had a jacket from them that I liked. Looking around, I found a nice Tube top that would be perfect for a top if I was going to be a top at the meeting place. It looked pretty great with the jacket over the top and the ripped jeans. It was a more clubbing look than I had right now, and I loved it. I looked for the top to see if I could try it on and had to flag down an employee. After a couple of minutes, I had a hanger with the tube top on it, which was supposedly my size. I started to hunt around to see if I liked anything else. I hated their branded shirts mostly, and I found a nice pair of ripped jeans. But I had about a dozen ripped jeans; these were not much different, so I decided against it. I frowned as I had only liked the tube top so far here, and that was sad for the first store. I was about to give up when I found some leotards for everyday wear. I couldn''t help but wonder how they would fit despite my extra package. They could be handy when you were wearing pants that were a little loose around the hips. I couldn''t help but pick out half a dozen to try on in various colors. Then, I took my score and headed to the changing rooms to change. Going outfit to outfit, I looked at myself and enjoyed the various different looks I could pull off. I would change my hairstyle even as I put on different colors, and I found the Leotards were comfortable despite my extra package below. They looked awesome if I let my pants hang low, too. There was a cool little bit where my hips would stick out and nothing else. It was enticing and showed nothing explicit. With my jacket and jeans, I thought if I put on the right belt, I would look fucking awesome. I picked up a light green leotard from the colors, tried on the tube top last, and liked it, too. I checked the price, though, and I scoffed. For a piece of fabric over my breasts with no branding? I am not paying that much! I took my leotard and brought out the rest with me, dumping them for an employee to deal with, and headed to the register with a bright smile on my face. After taking my score, I was on to the next shop. I spent some time there but ultimately found nothing I liked enough to put on in the changing room. It was sad when a brand was dying, and I couldn''t find something for myself. I had not found anything in this store for the last three times I had been here, and it was a shame. Moving on to the next store, I was hoping for something and quickly found a cute shirt and pants. I started to go a little crazy checking things out and pulling things out in my size. I went from rack to the tables to the shelves and all over. I was enjoying myself and picking out various styles I wanted to see myself in. I might not purchase any of them, but I loved looking around and finally got a changing room. Again, I went through the styles, tried them on, and smiled, changing my hairstyles with them. I was giggling as I changed again and again. I was having so much fun as I looked at them all. Lost were thoughts of the game. All I thought about now were these outfits. I enjoyed myself immensely but ultimately found nothing that spoke to me to the point of purchase. Again, I moved on to another store and continued shopping, coming out with one of my new favorites that I would probably never wear. It was a double zip-up high-top gothic style shirt that went up and covered half my face with a mini leather skirt with matching chains. It looked fucking awesome on me, and I could not stop myself from purchasing the outfit after seeing myself in it once. I would have to find an opportunity to wear this somewhere in the future. I went on to shop more and more but did not find anything I really wanted, so I went to the lingerie store. I found dozens of cute outfits there but wanted something to bottom in. Something that would really gear up a dominant top to wreak me like a bitch in heat. I wanted what I wanted now, and I started thinking about everything I saw today. It looked like I was going to have to mix and match to get what I wanted. I wanted something new to be broken into and went through a mental list. Then, as I was walking into a corner of the store that I had not been to yet, I found out what I wanted to wear tonight to entice a dominant to me tonight. It would be a bit of a pain in the ass to put on, but it was cute. It wasn''t outright lewd, and I could wear it outside to go wherever I needed to go. It was a sexy black lacey dress that had a wide open back trailing down to my leg with it partially laced up to the leg, and it would show off an asscheek to the world. It was fully covered in the front, but the back was nice and spicy. I shivered thinking about it. The cross laces would only entice men and women even more into the club. I would be announcing what I wanted tonight, and I did want it tonight. I shivered and looked to see if they had it in my size. The smile on my face was bright when I pulled out the dress in what should be my size. I almost ran for the changing rooms and put it on. It was like a glove and showed off my cleavage, and the dress was so short that if I wore no panties, my cock would be hanging out. No, this teal underwear had to go. Unfortunately, I had to wear something to keep myself from hanging out, so I went back out in search of underwear. I was on the hunt for the perfect underwear tonight. Chapter 74: Smoke and Roses I could not help but smile as I also picked up some naked stockings for this outfit. It was perfect, and I smiled as I put the entire ensemble together inside the changing room. I wanted nothing more than to strut out like this to the world. It was not appropriate, though, and I knew what to do. I took it all off and got myself ready to go. I quickly went to the register and purchased the clothing I grabbed, including the underwear to match. Honestly, the underwear didn''t really match because nude was the best for this dress. I didn''t need a bra with this dress as it compressed my breasts a little to make even better cleavage for the eyes of the beholder. I loved looking like this from time to time, and this dress could be something dominant as well if I played it off that way. Not tonight, though. I quickly ordered an Uber again to bring me home so I could change and get ready to go out. It was late, and I also added a community note that my stream might be a little late. I also put it into a zone of streaming soon just to mess with a couple of the pervs. I rarely did this, but it usually increased my numbers when I did. The note would be on the stream title saying that I would be late so that they couldn''t complain. Tonight was for me, and I got into the Uber quickly as they arrived. I was grinning with my new purchases, only to realize as I was leaving I got nothing for the stream. Well, there wasn''t anything else that I liked in the lingerie store or the other stores that I went to. Well, Not anything I liked enough to purchase. I spent much less than I thought tonight, which also made me happy. Before I knew it, while fantasizing about tonight, I returned to my apartment building and looked at the driver. ¡°Driver, if you are willing to wait thirty minutes, I will be heading back out. Do you want to wait?¡± I asked. The driver looked at me with a frown, ¡°I can wait here, but if I get another ride, then I am gone.¡± He replied. ¡°Okay, I will be back and have a timed Uber ride for thirty minutes from now,¡± I told him with a grin. Without another word, I started to head up and got in the elevator while doing just what I told the driver. In minutes, I was back in my house and changing. I went through it quickly and tightened the dress even more than back in the changing room, and I took off the tag. I put on some matching black heels that were thin and strappy, matching the dress, and I moved to put on some light makeup to make my eyes smokey. I looked better with light makeup, and I hated contouring and shading. It made me feel like I was changing my face and hiding it. I was attractive and did not need much, if any, at all. With red lipstick that would leave some temporary marks on places, I finished packing a purse and grabbed a jacket to cover everything up. It was a long black jacket that went down to my mid-thigh. I headed out and locked up after grabbing some rubbers from my stash. A minute later, I was in the same Uber and smiling. ¡°I would like to go to the Smoke and Roses Club here,¡± I said, showing the Driver my phone, and he nodded. ¡°Thank you for coming back a bit early,¡± The driver said and started to head out. I brought back my phone and started fixing my hair to make it look perfect for the night. I could not wait for the night to come. I had not been to the club in months. The club was not even that far away, and it was a BDSM club unofficially; everyone knew it was, and there were even rooms upstairs with lots of fun toys you could rent. I had been there a lot in the past, but it was never as good as a Munch. Those who had been to a munch would understand that everyone shows up with a very fresh lab report that they were clean of all STDs otherwise. I shivered at the thought because, in a Munch, nothing seemed to be off limits, and it was like a fever dream. I could go for a munch also. They were always a blast, and never knew what would happen. I could release myself and go full switch, being both the top and the bottom all night. It would be a great release for all the stress I have gotten. The fact that I fucked up in the game was getting to me. I felt like I had too much to lose as things were going great right now for me. Shaking my head, perishing work thoughts, I thought about what I should look for. Dominant women were rare but so much crueler most of the time. I wouldn''t mind a really good Dominatrix right now. But I was fine with a Dom, too; I could use some attention to my pussy. I really wanted to be messed up tonight. ¡°We are here,¡± The driver suddenly said, and I looked out to see the Club. I smiled and pulled up my app, tipping the driver a little extra. ¡°Thanks!¡± I replied and got out of the car, noticing a fresh five-star review from the app. I looked at the Club. It was fairly low-key, and the bouncer was tall with bulky muscles and a large smile. With the large BDSM community in the area and one of the reasons I picked this area to live in, the bar was invite-only. They did not want house moms who watched Fifty Shades of Grey and got moist coming in looking for a thrill. They knew nothing and would hurt the clientele who came here. ¡°Ola! You are working tonight?!¡± I asked the large black man at the front, looking suitably intimidating. The guy was a real softy inside but was especially protective of the women here. ¡°Honey? Honey! That is you~!¡± He smiled, coming over to me, and wrapped his muscular arms around me in a friendly hug. ¡°I haven''t heard from you, woman. What game have you fallen into?¡± He asked seriously. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°Galaxy Online,¡± I replied as he set me down and let me go head back to protect the door. I looked up at the man. At six foot six, he was very tall and intimidating, but I liked him a lot. ¡°It has me a bit stressed out, and I am looking to be a bottom tonight.¡± Ola looked at me, shaking his head, ¡°I never get you switches; how do you turn from a top to a bottom like nothing?¡± He asked for the hundredth time. ¡°Ola, It''s the mood; you might like being a bottom, but this girl and I love being a top; I love hearing men and women cry out, but I am not in the mood for it. The switch flicks to me wanting to be a bottom, and I love getting messed up and denied everything. I don''t know; it is just how I am,¡± I explained for the hundredth time. ¡°And you and every other switch still get the same questions, I know, but go have yourself a good night, girl,¡± Ola replied with a knowing smile as he looked over me, ¡°Something fun under the jacket?¡± He asked. ¡°You know it,¡± I replied with a smile as he opened the door for me. ¡°I will come in and check you out in a bit then when I am on break.¡± ¡°Looking forward to it, See you soon, Ola!¡± I headed in without another word with a huge grin on my face. Ola was great, a big member of the club, and a bottom. He loved nothing more than to be smothered by some thick thighs. He spent some time between mine a while back, and it was an enjoyable experience; his tongue work was amazing. The lighting in the bar was dark, but it was still easy to see people and what they were wearing. It looked busy tonight, too. The bar was half full, and a bunch of the booths had men and women talking. This was a pansexual BDSM bar, and they discriminated against no one. The main theme here was Bondage, Tops, Bottoms, and Switches only. Looking around, I could see a couple of femboys talking to their dommy mommies, and I was surprised at how busy it was. I walked over to the coat rack, where I saw another familiar face as I took off my jacket. ¡°Oh, my, god, Honey, I love the outfit; you looking to top or bottom tonight?¡± I heard Vivian, a transwoman, say in the booth she resided in. She was the check-in and made sure that everyone understood the rules here. Also, a coat check and made sure no one was bringing someone home or up to a room that wasn''t consenting or able to consent because of how drunk they were or something else. ¡°Vivian, I found this today. I am looking for a dom to break me in tonight,¡± I replied with a sly smile. ¡°Oh, Girl, you look amazing in that; your breasts look amazing in it; give Vivian a twirl and let me see it all!¡± I did just that, giving my friend a twirl showing off the dress lingerie, and she smiled, ¡°Girl, that looks amazing. You are almost popping out the bottom how low cut it is.¡± ¡°Yeah, but It is what it is; there simply is no market for people like me in the fashion world.¡± ¡°That''s okay. Do you want to hear potentials?¡± Vivian suddenly asked. ¡°You know me, girl. Are there any good tops? I am thinking of one that can really put me in my place tonight.¡± ¡°Hmm,¡± Vivian started to think for me as she was the gossip and had her ear to the ground. She was basically a forum of who to top and bottom for. She got reviews from both men and women on how they were intimate. She could just pull that information from you, and she was amazing to have in the club. I pulled up to her coat check and handed her my jacket as she thought, looking over the crowd. I looked her over, and she was dressed in a cute little blue dress that showed off her white porcelain skin as it held on by two-inch strips across her hips to the back with a thick cloth down the center. ¡°I like your dress tonight, Vivian,¡± I told her. ¡°Thank you. Don''t start trying to butter me up, though. Here is your coat check,¡± she said a moment later. ¡°Now, if you''re looking for someone questionable, you can look over to the twink in the corner there. He came here with a friend, but it was Thompson¡¯s friend, and I never liked him. His friends all tend to get bad raps, but none of them have broken the rules. So be warned just like I warn every girl.¡± I looked to see the cute guy in the corner in a black suit, trying to look good. I didn''t like him as a top as soon as I laid eyes on him, ¡°Hmmm, I don''t know what it is, but I think I will pass; I think I would rather be at the top with someone like him, I feel. I don''t want to be the top tonight, though, Vivian,¡± I made the end sound whiny, and she chuckled. ¡°Okay, Then there is Jamie over there,¡± She said, pointing out a hot blonde woman, ¡°She has a mean streak; do not let her do anything to you; she will take that permission literally. Oh, I know someone,¡± Vivian smiled as I heard someone coming in. Vivian''s smile got even larger as a Blonde woman walked in with a hot red leather bra covering b cup breasts and matching hot red leather pants that clearly had a zipper for ease of access, as she took off a black jacket similar to mine. Her face was sharp, and her walking showed confidence and charm already. She was fucking hot, and I could see a couple of men turn to look at her. ¡°Amber, I was not expecting you tonight,¡± Vivian said as she approached. And I saw Amber looking me over, and I knew those eyes. I could see that she was evaluating me and thinking about what she could do to me. I knew those eyes because I looked at bottoms the same way dozens of times before. ¡°Honey, this is Amber. She is relatively new, and I think she might be the woman that you are looking for tonight. Amber,¡± Vivian said, turning to her, ¡°This is Honey; she is a switch looking to bottom tonight. Why don''t you enjoy a drink together?¡± Vivian asked. It was a simple introduction, but it was all I needed as I looked over the woman in three-inch red heels. ¡°Oh, I was thinking about teasing something that is long and hard tonight, Vivian,¡± Amber said, looking at her. ¡°Well, then let me reintroduce Honey again, Amber. She is a Futanari or Intersex. She has exactly what you want in both men and women,¡± Vivian told her with a smile, and I saw that look of interest in Amber now. ¡°Now that is interesting,¡± she said, walking up to me. I loved it as I looked her up and down once again, taking in the beautiful woman who was slightly shorter than me. ¡°I think a drink is in order; why don''t I buy you one, Honey, and we can chat a little.¡± She said, motioning to the bar. ¡°I would love to,¡± I replied, walking with her toward the bar, hoping for a great night. Chapter 75: Stress Reduction Amber and I ended up in the bar with a bit of noise around us, but we both ordered drinks and smiled at each other silently for a moment. "Well, I will tell you, you are hot as hell, Honey," Amber suddenly said, bringing up her drink. I am the blunt type and dominant. Who are you, Honey?" she asked. I felt a chill up my spine; tonight was probably going to be a good night. "Well, I am usually the more dominant type, but not tonight," I replied with a smile and blushed a little. "I am a gamer girl that is looking to get messed up tonight." I told her, "But the question is if that answers your question, Amber?" I replied with a question of my own, looking her up and down in her hot red leather outfit. "Oh, hotty, I am a Dominatrix through and through; I usually like men, but I like the soft touch of women from time to time. Intrigued to have both at the same time if you trust me enough to enjoy some time with me." Amber replied before taking a sip, "I think Vivian was right, now that I know I am very interested in you, but no other woman or man in this club tonight," She leaned against the bar, "Tell me, Honey, what do you like when bottoming? You are a switch, right?" "Yes," I replied with a blush, as I only do while being a bottom while looking at the hot blonde in leather. "I am unoften in the mood to be a bottom, but I can be a really good bottom bitch when I am in the mood too. I like both men and women dominating me when in this mood, "Still, it varies on the person and their attitude for what I want while in this mood. It''s kind of like tonight. I am in the mood for strawberry ice cream instead of chocolate. I think there is nothing wrong with wanting the same flavor every time, but I don''t. But I also love chocolate, and I think that is the best way to explain it. You have ever been with a switch before?" "I haven''t," Confessed Amber. "I believe I am looking forward to changing that, though; you seem to be taking a couple of my firsts, Honey." She grinned. "I might even have to ask for your phone number to talk to you later. I might get attached." I both hated a loved how much I blushed when I was in a bottom mood, and Amber was already getting me going, "Well, I like being deprived of senses; I like being made to cum again and again, even if I am begging for mercy," I told her changing the subject with a deepening blush, "I also like pain mixed in. I don''t like anything that would leave a permanent mark, though, and I am not into blade play or sounding. Well, I don''t like being the one sounded, but that is beside the point. I am also not into cock and ball torture and toilet play. But being bound and helpless are things that I like. I love dirty talk, but not humiliation play. I don''t mind edging, but too much, and you might activate my Dominant side, and I will want to attack you. It is a little related to some trauma in the past, so if you are not a switch, then don''t go too far on edging play with me." I replied. "A woman who knows what she likes and dislikes," Amber replied, taking another sip, "Although I love edging a lot and CBT, I am perfectly fine not doing those at all. Toilet play is in my ick factor as well, so we are on completely even grounds there. It seems that we are compatible tonight, Honey," Amber replied with a grin, "I like that. Now, Before we go any further, I would love to know a bit more about you." Her smile was bright, and she looked me up and down, "Actually, what are your thoughts on plenty of toys?" Amber suddenly asked. "As long as nothing gets stuck," I replied. "Good, I am going to make you suck my cock tonight, Honey," Amber said, looking at my breasts. "Now, I will tell you a bit about myself. I am Amber. I am not new to play, but I am not a veteran; I am twenty-seven and only learned that I like this about three years ago, a discovery I learned when an Accounting coworker of mine confessed things to me; he was into CBT, and I started learning from there. I am new to the City, though, and a friend I just happened to have met showed me this place." "If we are being honest, then I am an ex-pro gamer girl at VR Call of Duty, and I was among the best playing for a few years before I got kicked off my team for being too much of a Dominant among shy men," I replied with a smile, "None of them had the balls to even ask me out. If you want to look me up after this, Look up the name Sleepy Wonder. I am currently working as a sleep streamer and working on being a big thing in a new game." I saw the interested look in her eyes as she looked me over. I took a swig from my drink, "I make a living on it, but I am a little stressed from over a week of straight gaming; although I had people I could dominate, after a day like today, I want to be messed up by a Dom," I told her. "Blunt, I like it; I will mess you up, Honey, I will mess you up real good; I don''t think you will walk right out of here after I am done with you," Amber replied with a predatory look in her eye I easily recognized from myself. "I like the sound of that." "You want to let me know your safe word?" "I go by the red light system for everyone; it''s consistent. You know it?" "Green is keep going; I love it; yellow is tread with caution to see if I enjoy it; red is end it now." "Then you want to go back to my place? Or do you want to rent a room here?" "I think a neutral ground is better for us both. First times and all." "Then I think we should finish our drinks, tell Vivian she was right, and get us a room." "I have found that she is really good at helping me find what I am looking for," Amber said before finishing her drink and standing up. She turned, and I saw her back and noticed a scar around her hip that was a little jagged. I could tell there was a history, but I didn''t care. She looked amazing, and I was having trouble keeping myself from having fun with a hot blonde tonight. "Vivian is fantastic; she has helped me find what I am looking for many nights," I replied as I joined her, and I felt her arm reach around behind me and caress my bare asscheek, which the bar could see. I blushed and luxuriated in her touch. She was fucking hot and had the right attitude tonight. I found myself looking forward to the night more and more. I felt her thumb slowly stroking the skin on my asscheek, and I loved it. I could feel the possession that she was already taking with me. "Vivian," I said as we approached. You were correct again; thank you." I told her with a smile, "Is my favorite room available?" "Favorite room?" Amber asked, turned to look at me as her hand tightened on my asscheek. I blushed and was about to reply as Vivian smiled, "Amber, you haven''t been here long enough to be allowed in this room. It is for veterans at this bar, and to answer your question. For you, of course, it is empty. I will let you know Dan came back a month ago and has been working just as hard as he used to to maintain things. He is on watch, too, just in case anything happens." "Nice, Dan is amazing; I don''t have to worry about a thing." "Oh, is Dan good at something?" Amber asked. "Yes, he is very good at maintaining and cleaning the rooms. Nothing in them will not be sterilized after each use, or it will not be open. About a year or so back, we took one of those lights to show body fluids after one of his clean-ups from an extensive use of the room. The room was fucking immaculate, The toys were cleaner than brand new. The guy has OCD and cleans amazingly. He is also a paramedic and can assist if something goes wrong. Dan is a great guy and cares a lot about everyone''s health. You guys are paying him right, right?" I finished while inching forward. "Yeah, Dan left a bit because of pay, but the owner and he had a conversation, and the reason he actually left was to go back to school to further his credentials. He got a nice pay raise, and the rest is for him to talk about, not me," Vivian replied, "Do you want the room?" "Of Course," I said, reaching for my purse before Amber stopped me by suddenly invading my dress with her thumb. "EEP~!" A weird noise left my mouth, and I turned to her with a blush. "I got this," Amber said, putting her card for Vivian, and the price came out to two hundred dollars for the room. "Now, Amber, this comes with the full rental and the room for the night if you so choose. If you''re done and both conscious, please vacate as soon as possible. But we will not kick you out. Sometimes, play gets rough, and you need to cuddle your partner for longer or other various things. Aftercare is a thing, and do take care of your Sub, bottom, or whatever you want to call it, Honey. Here is your key. Please return it or notify me when you''re done with the room so we can clean it. It''s easier when everything isn''t so dried on." Vivian said, handing her a card. Then she pressed a button, and the wall beside her booth opened. "Enjoy your stay," Vivain finished, and we both entered the secret stairs upstairs. The wood furnishings were amazing, and I felt so high class as we walked up, and my excitement built up. Amber was grabbing my body harder as we headed up the stairs, and I could feel her curiosity about my body. I was looking forward to exploring or worshipping hers. It had been a long time since I had bottomed out, and I was looking forward to it. The upstairs had a nice wood finish, and there were five doors and a bookshelf in the hallway. The bookshelf was filled with BDSM books, and each of the doors was immaculately well-designed wooden doors with old-style patterns. I pulled Amber over to the bookshelf and pulled out a book showing a card swipe embedded in the shelf itself, and I smiled. "It makes it feel more special," I told her. Swipe the card." "Interesting, a hidden club, with hidden rooms, with a hidden room among them," Amber said, amused. I did not even suspect that there was another room behind this bookshelf. The books here are also quite informative, and I have used them while a twink worshiped me." "I have done the same," I said, pulling her lightly, "Come on, Hmm," I realized something quickly, "I don''t know what you want me to call you tonight, Mistress. Goddess, Queen, Mommy? I am not a fan of Mommy, but," I licked my lips, looking at her leather-clad breasts, "I have no choice in this matter." I shivered, and her hand grabbed my ass again, and I felt her fingers trail upwards, following the line of skin. "Queen," Amber replied before letting go of me and looking around the room. "Tonight, I will be your queen, Honey, and you will be my slave. I am not to be second-guessed, and I will not repeat myself." The tone changed, and I shivered as my cock started to harden in my underwear. Damn, I have not bottomed in so long that it all felt fresh again. I could not help the look I gave her as she looked amazing in her leather. I wanted nothing more than to explore and worship the queen''s body tonight. The room was outfitted to the top. There was a sex swing in the corner with matching restraints. A four-poster bed with bed restraints all over for various positions. You only had to pull the ones you wanted from under the bed. There was a Saint Andrew''s cross and a wall full of various whips and paddles. From hard to soft, this room was amazing. The two hundred dollar pay was low for the clean-up cost. I knew from talking to the owner that the business worked because of the drinking downstairs, and that these rooms were mostly used for an hour max with a twenty-minute clean-up job Dan pulled off. It was forty minutes when Dan wasn''t here to keep with the same level of cleaning that people expected. The rooms were almost always used at least twice, if not three times a night. I looked at the Pillory and the large Cabinet of toys to play with a sub for hours. Each was in a little charging port that Dan made. Every time he introduced a new toy, it was only after he had everything ready for it. This room was the best, and I shivered, looking forward to what Amber was going to do to me here. "Queen, If I may be so bold, this room whenever you are done with a toy, please set them over in this plastic bin," I told her with suitable language, turning her attention to the large plastic bin by the door. "This is so Dan can clean up faster, and this room has no tolerance for putting back a toy after it has been picked up. You touch it," I point to the bin, "Please, use the bin, Queen." Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! Amber looked at the bin, and I could see her nod. "Well, slave, I will put that into consideration," She said gravely, and she strode over to the wall of whips and paddles, "Now that we have introductions out of the way and we have found ourselves in a lovely room," Amber turned to look at me with a grin and walked to the closet in the corner with gear. She looked up, and I saw her stride over to the loose chains and loosened them like she had been here before. "Wonderful," She commented, looking at the equipment and how the chains fell. I shivered, knowing something was going to happen, and she pulled out a hood from the equipment closet. It was a one-size-fits-everyone below a certain size. I was under that size, and I shivered as she put it to the side for use. I grinned as she pulled out the attaching, fluffy leather cuffs. Then, she strode over to the wall of whips and grabbed a horse crop before snapping the leather against her heel. "You have been a very naughty slave bitch, Seducing my husband without my permission; Tsk," The click of her tongue told me exactly what my position was and my place in the hierarchy. "Queen! I did-" I said, looking at her concerned, and she snapped the crop against her heel once more, silencing me. "Shut it, slave, if my husband can do whatever he wants to you. That doesn''t mean that you can get off for seducing him." She licked her lips and moved to a chair, and pulled it to herself, "Look at you, Dressed up like a slut," The contempt in her voice was thick, "Slut, Come here," She snapped the crop in front of her, and I felt compelled to step in front of her where she ordered. "That is good, slave; show me that slutty body in that dress my husband got for you," She said, and I felt a thrill through my body. I could see her spreading her legs a little, and I turned around slowly for her to show off the dress, "Stop, lean forward and show me that ass, Slave," She snapped. I leaned forward and put my ass closer to her face. Suddenly, a sharp snap of pain on my buttocks sent a shiver through me, and I felt a pang in my womb. My cock throbbed, and my pussy moistened all at once, and her hand spanked my other ass cheek. I felt her reach forward and pull the string on the dress, and it started to loosen all at once. It was so simple, and the dress fell apart at the crisscross for her. "No wonder you could seduce my husband slave," Queen said, "What a slutty hot body. Too bad for you that anything my husband owns is actually mine." Then I felt the crack of the leather from the crop on my ass and then the spanking of my ass. The pain sent a shiver up my womanhood, and I moaned without meaning, too. "Did you just moan slut?" Queen suddenly said, and I froze in my loose dress. "Turn around and stand up straight!" She snapped, and I turned without question and the dress pooled before her, and her eyes narrowed. "Are you enjoying this?!" "Y- Yes, Queen," I replied, getting into my role, showing a bit of fear in my voice. "You masochistic slut," She commented, looking me over, and I could feel her eyes on every part of me. It was such a wonderful judgemental glare of contempt and disgust. My pussy moistened even more. "I guess since we pay you, slut might not be the right name for you. Whore, yes, I will notify the house to call you Whore from now on," She said, "Whore, Go get the black paddle, The wooden one from the wall and bring it to me." Fuck, my cock was throbbing now and poking out of my thong panties, standing proud against my stomach. But she had not even looked at it. I could feel her eyes on me as I moved toward the wall and found the wooden paddle she spoke of. It was a simple classic with holes through it, and there were three of them. One with the word Slut, One with the word Bitch, and one with the word Whore all of them in all caps. I grabbed the one with Whore on it, and my mind tingled. When was the last time I had a spanking? I shivered in excitement, and my cock throbbed as I brought the paddle over to my Queen. "Queen, Please forgive me," I begged as I handed her the paddle. "I swear-" "Shut up Whore!" She said, getting up and slapping me across the face, and I shivered as the sting hit my head. For a moment, I couldn''t think with the sudden nature of the slap, but I loved it. The whole play so far has been amazing. "I will tell you when you can speak whore. Not the other way around, Now," Queen sat back down and patted her lap, "Bend over for your first of tonight''s punishment. And Don''t cum you Masochistic Whore. If I feel you cum or orgasm, I swear to god," She left the threat hanging, and I nodded. I got down, and she adjusted me with surprising strength, with my ass hanging out behind me with my thong holding my cock against my stomach, which was not also pressed against her leg. "We will speak about this," She grabbed my balls, suddenly making me gasp, "Later, I will make sure that your whore body doesn''t spread among the maids." I shivered and loved it, but I didn''t reply. Fuck, I felt her rubbing my ass, and I bit my lip but quickly stopped as I didn''t want to bite it off. SMACK! My mind blissfully went blank as the pain shot up from my ass, shaking my womb. It was a perfect hit, and I gasped. "COUNT!" My Queen snapped. "ONE~!" I moaned out. SMACK! "TWO~!" SMACK! "THREE~!" SMACK! "FOUR~!" SMACK! "FIVE~!" SMACK! "SIX~!" SMACK! "SEVEN~!" SMACK! "EIGHT~!" SMACK! "NINE~!" SMACK! "TEN~!" "Hmm, Seems that your name hasn''t fully been marked on your whore ass yet." My queen commented as my head buzzed. My body shivered, and It was like I was in a dream. A wonderful dream where only the Queen mattered and pleased her. SMACK! "ELEVEN~!" My voice moaned, cracking a little as I yelled it out. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! My mind reeled, and I counted. "THIRTY-ONE~!" I cried out, my ass hurting and shivering from the harsh, fast, unexpected spanking sending me straight into the subzone. "QUEEN PLEASE~!" I begged. "That should be enough for you to start to understand, Whore. Plus, Now you have your name written across your ass," Queen Giggled and I felt happy that she was happy. "Now, I can feel your whore cock dripping a little," My queen told me, "I think it is time to move on to your second Punishment." "Queen, I know what I did-" My face was suddenly lifted up to make me see her, and my face was smacked once more, pain flashing through my head. "WHORE I TOLD YOU TO SPEAK ONLY WHEN I SAY!" My Queen snapped, and I knew I was wrong. I bit back my begging, and she grabbed me by the face and stood. "Unacceptable. Another punishment is in order. How could my husband have left such a Whore untrained as you? Unacceptable in this Royal home. A damn disgrace We shall not accept!" I was standing and sub-drunk from the harsh, amazing spanking that shook my womb to its core. My body shivered, and suddenly, she brought the mask and a ring gag with her. "Now, Whore, you will learn discipline," My queen commented, and moments later, the world lost all light as my face was covered completely. There were no eyeholes in this mask, and I felt it tighten around my head. "Open your mouth, Whore; I want to see that cock sucking tongue," My Queen snapped, and I more than happily obeyed. The gag was suddenly pushed in the next second, and she widened my mouth a bit more as she properly put it on and strapped it to the back of my head. I couldn''t help it, and I said, "Green Light," In a weird voice that came with a forced open mouth just to let her know I was loving things so far. I was drifting into the subspace hard, and I loved it as she finished attaching the ring gag so I could not close my mouth. My tongue naturally fell out of my mouth, and suddenly, a sharp pain hit my tongue as something clipped it. "AH~!" I cried out in sudden pain, and I felt her roughly grab my breast. "This, This Right here, must have been what seduced my husband, and like a good whore you let him fuck your whore body. But I hear that you are a Futanari, and I can see that your whore thong panties are failing to contain a massive specimen of a cock." My Queen said, her voice dripping with contempt, and she grabbed me and moved me. I stumbled a bit before she grabbed my wrist and put a soft cuff around my wrists. Suddenly, My arms were being pulled up into the air, spread apart just a bit more than shoulder length, forcing me to stand properly in order to be flat-footed on the ground. A second later, she pulled my thong off my legs, and then cuffs went around my ankles, but they didn''t get moved. Then, the adjustment happened. She brought me down a bit before snapping my sensitive thighs with the crop, widening my stance. "Right, there whore, Now, we can begin your real punishment," My Queen said, and I felt the crop riding up my stomach and pushing up my breast. I could feel her hand reach down and caress my throbbing ass, and my cock throbbed hard. Then nothing. My Queen didn''t touch me, and I pulled against the restraints as I heard her moving around the room. But nothing touched me, and I was alone in the darkness. I wanted to cry out to my Queen, but she ordered my mouth shut, so I could not speak. I wanted to beg her to touch me and hurt me over this void, but her orders superseded my wants and needs. I heard her suddenly coming back to me as I sought her out with my ears. Then, things started to happen one after the other. Suddenly, suction on my nipples pulled them out, making me cry out with a sultry moan. Then small brushes started to spin on them as My nipples were pulled taunt. I cried out from the sudden sensitive pleasure, and my mind blanked. Then I felt bare breasts on my back, and I heard and felt my Queen, "Do not Cum, Whore, not without my orders, and when I do allow you, You must count down from five before asking my permission to cum." Then something pressed against my asshole, and I felt it slide in on lube and bury itself deep. "AH~!" I felt my Queen move, and suddenly, something pressed against my pussy and clit. Then it sprang to light, and my world sparked hard, and nothing but pain and pleasure existed as my pussy vibrated at a high setting that no normal vibrator could go. My head was gone, and my world was white, and I cried out unknowingly as pleasure sparked over and over. I could feel the foundation was built, and my balls throbbed painfully, but this had nothing to do with my cock. "Queen, Please, Let me cum~! I Need to Cum~!" I cried, my voice finally registered to my own ears. "Count down, Whore," My Queens''s voice echoed in my head. "FIVE~!" "FOUR~!" "THREE~!" "Slower," My queen snapped, "Start again, Slower." I groaned as I held back the tide and cried out harder, "Five~!" "FouR~!" I groaned as my body shook and my toes curled. "THREE~~!" "TWOO~~!!! "ONNNEEE~~!" "QUEEN~! MY QUEEN~! PLEASE~! LET THIS WHORE CUM~!" "You may cum," My Queen gave permission, and I let go. It was euphoric, and my body shivered and climaxed everywhere. My toes orgasmed, my calves orgasmed, My ass orgasmed, My body orgasmed, and I felt my pussy spasm and release a tide of fluids hitting my thighs as the vibrator never left my cunt and started to press hard, making more and more sparks fly. I screamed incoherently, and I squirted again and again in a massive chain orgasm that only made my cock and balls throb hard. I lost myself and the world in the darkness, losing myself to the pleasure. I drifted in that mindless pleasure, my body resting against the heavy leather cuffs as I knew I was deep in the subzone. Drifting, I felt sudden heat all over my loins. My mind snapped as the pleasure started to rock my cock, and I felt my queen taking my cock in her mouth. I moaned, "What is this, Whore," She said, taking my cock out of her mouth before teasing the tip with her tongue, "You are not allowed to cum, Whore." Pleasure returned, and she teased my cock, and I moaned more, and my cock throbbed, and suddenly something was shoved up my cunt and started to move. My voice pitched, and I cried out incomprehensibly. "That''s it Whore, Moan like the bitch you are. Moan for your Queen!" I was being destroyed. My mind was in flux, and I cried and screamed as it started to vibrate inside me as it twisted and turned inside me. I felt that foundation build, and I cried out, "Queen, Queen~! I am going to Cum~! PLEASE LET ME CUM~!" I had no idea how it came out or if she could understand the ring gag, but I cried out, begging for release as I held back as much as I could. "No, Hold it, Whore. Hold it!" My Queen Ordered, and I did. I wanted to cum. I needed to cum. NEED TO CUM! NEED TO CUM! "QUEEN~! PLEASE~!" "Start your count down, Whore." "FIVE~!" "FOUR~!" "THREE~!" "TWO~!" "ONE~!" "QUEEN~! PLEASE LET THIS WHORE CUM~!" I thought I cried out. "You may cum." The world exploded in sparks, and I drifted with the stars of pleasure as my body shivered and convulsed in overwhelming pleasure as she sucked on my cock. I didn''t know what was happening. My world was adrift, and I continued to release my seed all over. I felt her continue to pleasure my cock, and it was all I could see and feel as sparks flew in the sky of darkness. My mind drifted, and suddenly, the dark light of the room opened up as the mask was loosened and removed, and I was filled with the sight of my Queen. She had naked scars on her stomach that I wanted to lick, and she was perfect. She was my Queen. I watched my mind barely registering it as she took off the cuffs from my legs and my wrists, and she grinned, grabbing my cock. "Whore, You have received my punishment, now your reward," She said and pulled my cock, and I followed like a good slave whore toward the bed. She brought me there with a sexy smile and got up on it, laying on her back. "Seed your Queen, Whore. Do your best to please me," My Queen ordered, and I didn''t need to be told twice. As my cock throbbed, I got on top of my Queen, and she guided my cock to her pussy, and I shoved it in. My mind blanked, and I felt like an animal seeking pleasure. It was all my world, and I started to hump her. Then it happened. I never noticed that she didn''t take it out, but suddenly my pussy started to vibrate, and so did my ass, both with thick long dildos inside me, stirring me up. One was moving counterclockwise and the other clockwise, making them hit each other as they stirred up my insides. Then my Queen pulled me in, taking my lips as she tortured my body, and I thrust into her mindlessly. "Cum Whenever you want whore~!" My Queen cried out, and I continued to thrust into her as the world sparked, and I came. Again and again, I came inside her, thrusting into her as she screamed and moaned. I came inside my queen, wanting nothing more than to pleasure her. My mind seemed to flash. At one moment, I was taking my Queen from behind; the next, she was riding me. Then, I was holding her as her legs were locked around me. I lost track of it, and I mindlessly, in the subzone, did whatever she wanted. She was my Queen; I needed to please her. Chapter 76: Amber ¡°Ah, Fuck,¡± I groaned as I snapped back to the world. I shivered from how much I came, and the world was still a little floaty as I basked in the soft comfort of my queen. She pulled my head into her breasts, and I was resting in her arms. It felt so good, and I wanted to cozy up more. And I sighed, letting my body move up to look at my Queen. ¡°Sorry, I tend to snap back randomly,¡± I say with a smile, seeing Amber resting, looking disheveled as well from our sex. ¡°Yes, you did quite the number on me, Honey,¡± My Queen replied. ¡°You were amazing and played along with my scenario without skipping a beat. I really enjoyed our time together. I got a little too into it, and I made you go into me raw. I don''t have diseases, and I hope you don''t either. But I lost myself in the play.¡± ¡°I don''t,¡± I replied with a smile, ¡°I really hope you don''t either, but I always ask my doctor for an annual check, and that is in a couple of weeks. Are you on the pill? My swimmers are very fertile, I have been told.¡± ¡°No worries about that. I am not on the pill, but I had a hysterectomy. There is nothing to impregnate within me,¡± Amber replied with a wry smile, and I looked at her a little shocked. Then I looked down, and I saw all the scars along her abdomen. I reached down, and I caressed her scars, tracing them a little, ¡°What happened, my Queen?¡± I asked, looking into her eyes, and she shivered a little under my touch. ¡°That is a little sensitive, but I love how you asked,¡± Amber grinned, ¡°Um, I don''t want to lie,¡± Amber suddenly went from a grin to a frown at her last statement. ¡°I never did tell you what I did for a living, or at least used to,¡± Amber said as I looked at her scars. She had multiple round scars, and there were a bunch of long and thick scars, all in various shapes and directions. I shook my head, ¡°No, you did not tell me, but if you don''t want to, that is fine. I am not one to pry, but some of these scars look like gunshot wounds. Were you shot?¡± I asked. ¡°Yes, EIght times; it is a miracle that I am alive, honorably discharged from the CSIS, The Canadian Security Intelligence Service, after three years there, From eighteen to twenty-one,¡± Amber said, ¡°I cannot say what I was in the middle of doing or where at least not for another hundred years, but¡± She smiled, ¡°It got me a fat payout and disability payments for a bit. I lost my womb and ovaries in the incident, and I am glad that is all I lost. It is a damn miracle; That is all I lost.¡± I could see that Amber was no longer in the room, so I got up and kissed her. ¡°My Queen, No need to tell me more; you are here in this room with me, Honey,¡± I said with a smile. ¡°Thanks. Sometimes, I remember it; I do have a bit of PTSD from it. Not that,¡± Amber cut herself off, ¡°Well, I don''t want to talk about it that much. Honestly, How did you enjoy your time with me?¡± ¡°My Queen, I think I need your number; I will definitely call you when I am in a Submissive mood,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°I feel so damn good at the moment. My stress from the day is just blown away. What are you doing now for work, if you are working, if you don''t mind me asking, Amber.¡± ¡°Nothing; I have enough money to retire as long as I don''t blow it all in one place, and I got a partial pension, and I am living off Interest. So I just figure out day to day what I want to do.¡± ¡°Have you ever heard of Galaxy Online by Gabin Corporation?¡± ¡°That new Virtual Reality game?¡± ¡°Yeah, that one.¡± ¡°Well, Yeah, it is being blasted all over, and you cannot escape the ads.¡± ¡°I think you should play it!¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because the game is realistic as hell, and I think you would be good if you were trained in intelligence. I am not sure if you were an agent or not; it is not my business, but I think it would be more than just being in a funk.¡± ¡°I am not in a funk; I am enjoying life day to day.¡± ¡°Well, then, it is something to do day to day!¡± ¡°Why do you want me to play? I am sensing that there is something else.¡± ¡°You caught me,¡± I replied as I cozied up to her. ¡°I am honestly being a little selfish. If you''re ex-RCMP or CSIS or whatever, that means you might have formal training in either combat or administration. I have had a thought in the back of my head about starting my own corporation in the game. I am unsure, and it is only a thought at the back of my head because I am having a good start. As long as I can complete the Tutorial with what I have, I might be ahead in the game, and I will need talented people with me to soar into the sky. I am just taking a shot with you because of your background.¡± I felt Amber wrap her arms around me, and I looked up into her eyes, ¡°I am glad that you were honest with me. I have dealt with too many half-truths in my life already. I have nothing better to do, so I don''t see why not. Not going to promise anything. I might hate the game and not play it and sell the kit.¡± ¡°And I will have to find a way to apologize to you if that happens.¡± ¡°Well, how does your ass feel Whore?¡± I gasped, and I turned my body, and I looked up into the mirror, and across my ass which was bright red, was white skin in big bold letters saying ¡®WHORE.¡¯ ¡°My Queen, You did an amazing job spanking that in. It has barely any red in the middle. Your aim is amazing.¡± ¡°Thanks. You were a great partner. You had lots of stamina, and when you cried out through the ring gag, I could understand it, including that Greenlight. That got me ready to go. Again, I am so glad how quickly you caught onto the play and joined me. I really enjoyed it.¡± I got up quickly, moved over to my purse, which was on the floor in the corner by the door, and pulled out my phone. I looked at the time, and I smiled. ¡°Damn, You did a lot to me in only two hours. I actually have time to be on time for my sleep stream.¡± ¡°Oh, Running on me?¡± ¡°Yup, A sleep streamer has bills to pay, and I sleep in front of creeps and perverts for donations. Sometimes, the bills are tight, but I survive.¡± Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°That''s okay; I feel so good having met you,¡± Amber said, ¡°I loved you having both a cock and pussy, you know. I have never been so turned on that I let a first-time partner go raw in me because I needed to feel you without the rubber.¡± ¡°Come on, Get up and exchange numbers with me. I don''t want to lose contact with you. I am definitely hoping for a second, and maybe a third, one-night stand with you as my Queen. I am more often a Dominant, but you will be my first call when I want to be a submissive whore.¡± Amber got up and looked me up and down, ¡°I cannot say no to that; I am going to say something, and please think about it.¡± ¡°Well, say it, and I will think about it.¡± ¡°What do you think about dominating a man with me?¡± ¡°I am pansexual, Amber; I just recently cucked and fucked both a husband and wife. I might even get the woman pregnant with my child and have the man raise it.¡± I saw Amber look at me in surprise, ¡°Sorry, that was too much information. He knows that is the couple''s fetish, and I am just enjoying some time with that couple. I think of the whole thing as a sperm donation of some kind. But if you''re interested in being a double team on someone, Count me in. Have anyone in mind?¡± ¡°Yes, I do,¡± Amber said, ¡°But we can talk about that later; we should get dressed and vacate the room for someone else. I think I am going to sleep well tonight.¡± Amber got up and smiled at me, walking over to her leather clothes. She jumped a couple of times to put on her leather pants, then zipped them up. On the other hand, I had to take my time tucking things in, and the lingerie dress took a bit longer to tighten up. Amber smiled and helped me tighten up, saving me a couple of minutes working the back, and I smiled as she put on her red leather bra. ¡°How did you like my leather bra and pants?¡± Amber asked as she looked over me, ¡°I love that dress, by the way. It''s very enticing.¡± ¡°I love a good leather queen when I am submitting,¡± I replied quickly, ¡°You look amazing in it; then again, I love tight clothing. I have no problem sleeping in the tightest latex clothing if my audience allows me. I love the feeling of it, almost like a second skin.¡± ¡°You are interesting, Honey; I look forward to getting to know you more.¡± ¡°Amber, I am really glad about how stressed out I got tonight because I got to meet you. Honestly,¡± I replied, and we quickly exchanged contact information. ¡°Before we go, though,¡± I followed up, ¡°Everything we used into the bin. Seriously, I do not want to lose the right to use this room. Dan is very serious about this. Being allowed into this room is a show of trust.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Amber replied, and we took only a minute. She moved a couple of things that she mentioned that she thought she touched while looking for things. After a bit, we headed out of the room, closed the bookcase behind us, and smiled with our arms linking back up before heading back down into the bar. ¡°I should call an Uber,¡± I said as we were headed down. ¡°I was expecting to get a bit more drunk than I did,¡± Amber added with a wry smile, ¡°I am going to do the same.¡± We both turned to our phones and arrived before Vivian, who was brightly smiling as we handed her our coat check. ¡°So, ladies, How did you enjoy your evening?¡± Vivian asked. ¡°You did an amazing job recommending us to each other, Vivian; thank you,¡± Amber replied. ¡°She made an amazing Queen tonight; I am impressed. Thank you, Vivian; I think we might even have a second or third night together when I am in a submissive mood.¡± ¡°Thank you both; I love knowing I got another kinky couple together correctly. You both look so refreshed,¡± Vivian said happily. ¡°You driving?¡± ¡°Uber,¡± We both replied. ¡°Heading home together?¡± Vivian asked, surprised. ¡°No, Separate, I got work,¡± I replied. ¡°Well, Honey, do come back more often; we haven''t seen your face for a while. At least call and check in once in a while.¡± ¡°You know me, Vivian, I wander around like a Stray cat; I show up when I want and disappear the same way. I am going to go chat with Ola,¡± I said as I finished putting on my Jacket. Amber had done the same and joined me heading out of the Club. Standing outside, Ola looked us both over and smiled. ¡°I was expecting you to be in there longer, Honey; you caught a Dom faster than I thought. Mind Introducing me?¡± Ola said. ¡°You haven''t met Amber? You allowed her in?!¡± I questioned him. ¡°You know I recognize those who have been invited, Honey, and more so those banned, but that doesn''t mean I have been introduced,¡± Ola replied. ¡°Fair enough, This is Amber. Was my Queen for the night,¡± I told him with a smile, ¡°She was really good,¡± I told him and turned to Amber, who was linked in my arm, ¡°This is Ola, The bouncer; he is also a bottom if you are looking for a big guy to ride for a night. I will not say more than that because it would be between you both. But he is a great guy; he will take care of you around the club no matter what. He is an amazing person.¡± ¡°Thanks, Honey,¡± Ola said with a large white smile. ¡°Nice to Meet you, Ola; maybe we can meet up sometime. I do like big black men, too, if I am being honest. Maybe even Honey and I at the same time?¡± Amber smiled, and I could see Ola blush. ¡°Oh, Like that thought, Ola. Amber and I dominating you?¡± I asked the big, muscular Nigerian man. ¡°Yes, you are both very attractive women; I do like the thought of that,¡± Ola replied. ¡°Then maybe we will,¡± I said, actually looking over Ola, thinking about it, and liking the idea. I could ride him and be inside him. I know he didn''t mind a strap-on when it wasn''t me, and he was very, very good with his mouth on a pussy. I flushed a bit, thinking about it. ¡°Oh, it seems a couple of cars are pulling up,¡± Ola suddenly said, bringing me back to reality. ¡°Well, My Queen, it is time to part ways, but hopefully just for now,¡± I said with a large grin. ¡°Till next time, Honey,¡± Amber replied with a large smile, and we went to a car only to realize we went to the other Uber driver. Then we got in, both blushing a little, and drove off. It was an uneventful drive, but I felt so light-hearted and refreshed now. I had not been in a bottom mood for a long time, and Amber really hit that itch I needed. Galaxy Online has taken a toll on my stress levels for the last couple of days. The lack of a respawn was getting me stressed as I really didn''t want to lose what I had. But I could not let that get to me. I needed to be at my best when I played. Spending some time going out tonight was the right call. I felt amazing, like I just took a week of vacation after being put into the subzone. My ass was tingling and still had ¡®WHORE¡¯ written across it, but that was fine. I would make sure none of the outfits I picked would show my probably bruising ass. I looked out the window as the Driver brought me home, and I tipped him before heading into my apartment building and soon reaching my room. Being home now made me feel better instead of cooped up. I felt great, and my stomach rumbled a little, telling me I had forgotten to eat. I pulled out some noodles and started to heat the water before turning on my computer and checking what I had to wear tonight. I smiled as I saw it was a tight latex body suit that I was hoping for this morning. I excitedly smiled as it seemed that, over the day, it had changed to one of my favorites. This would show off my bulge, but that tightness was perfect, and the increased spending would help my bank account. I got up and prepared my noodles, and I soon started eating while getting my cameras ready before heading to my closet and changing into Tight latex. It took me almost a full ten minutes to get into, but I got it on, and there was not a curve that wouldn''t be in sight. God, I loved tight latex. Next time I go to the club, I am going to wear latex. I always need more opportunities to wear latex. With everything finished, I quickly introduced myself in my latex outfit and found a large thousand-user audience, much to my surprise. ¡°Hey guys, Thanks for voting for this outfit; it is one of my favorites. I had a great night out tonight, enjoying myself and making a new friend. I am going to be passing out in a minute, but before I do, here is tomorrow''s vote.¡± I put a half dozen outfits in a vote and finished up so I could go to bed, ¡°Good night, guys; I am sleepy after a long night. Sorry for the delay tonight.¡± With that, I got into bed, and I passed out seconds after my head hit the pillow, feeling hugged in a latex embrace. Chapter 77: The Morning after Consciousness came to me slowly, with me pawing at my eyes with latex-covered fingers. A slight throbbing from my ass being spanked last night into writing ¡®whore¡¯ across it welcomed me, and I smiled at the memory of crying out as Amber took me. I thought well of Amber already, and I wondered a bit about her. She had scars all around her stomach, and her explanation made her seem a bit mysterious. Still, she had a solid hand, and I liked being a sub for her. Sure, rarely was I in a sub-moment as a Switch, and I was much more of a dominant woman, but it was not an all-time thing. My mind was on her a bit, and I wondered how she would be with Cassy and her sissy cuck husband. I would not mind an orgy, but I did not have the space to play in my house. Well, I would not be able to record it, at least. I frowned and realized I was super refreshed, and my thoughts drifted without aim. I haven''t been this relaxed in a while. It was time for me to meet reality thought. My eyes traveled over to the screen, and many messages were flying in calling for a good morning, but many more were just signing out. Over half of my viewers and subscribers never interacted with me. They were here to watch if I would do something while I slept. They would pay for my sleep content but never actually vote. ¡°Morning chat,¡± I yawned, feeling slow today. ¡°Because of last night, I am having a bit of trouble waking up completely. Way~ too relaxed,¡± I sighed, lying back and looking at the chat explode, as it had been a while since I talked with them slowly. I read a message that made me realize that I should talk about things related to the gaming sphere because some of the people who watched me sleep came from my gaming fans back in the day. ¡°Oh, you want to know about my Galaxy Online Tutorial?¡± I grinned and turned on my side, feeling much better about the game now that I had relaxed. ¡°I was one of the people who found a loophole in the contract,¡± I grinned as chat exploded, asking how I did it, and I chuckled, ¡°Well, since it has been patched, I don''t mind spilling the beans on it, perse.¡± I spent a bit of time thinking and wondering how I should talk about it, and I nodded to myself. ¡°I was on the starting quest for the tutorial when I came across something big. It was massive for the starter quest, and I think I got something a few others got. It was basically a ticket off the planet I started on.¡± I told my chat, and it exploded even more as I lay in bed and turned to look at a camera, ¡°So I found a loophole in my contract that I have to pay out fifty percent of my bounties to the company I was working with by the end of the contract. But it never said I had to stay on the planet. So if I want to fulfill the contract, I have to wait the six months in the game, but I don''t have to do it under their employee and where they want me to.¡± I showed a massive smile, ¡°Now I am traveling around in the Galaxy as one of the first ones to start exploring it, maybe.¡± My confession made my chat explode, and I wondered how Gabin Corporation had closed the contract. You were most likely not allowed to leave the planet or were their employee. I watched as a massive amount of viewers started to show up, but I stretched and yawned, letting my confession possibly bring a larger income today. People would want me to confess more of my secrets to the wider community. I might even get a call from my agent. But I was thinking more down the route of creating my own company if I could pull this off. It was high risk, though, and eventually, I would need a sponsor. My mind turned to a sex toy company or a latex manufacturer or design company, and I wished for that the most. Imagine new latex outfits each night to sleep in. That would be great; I loved the tight second rubber skin on my body. It was like I was getting a hug all over. Sure, the clean-up sucked, but I enjoyed it. I purred and stretched once more, and I felt up my breast a little too sensually as the pleasure clouded my head, and I got out of bed slowly, thinking about what I should put up for a vote. ¡°Hey everyone, today I am going to put out the sleepwear I am thinking about instead of just putting up a basic description for everyone to choose from. I left my bedroom feeling good and picked out a pink latex outfit that an ex gave me. It was a very thoughtful gift, but not in my typical color. Then I chose a teddy, which almost looked like a bikini, but they were attached to the top and bottom. This teddy showed off my good, and I chose a rarely chosen color, a cute light blue. Then, I picked out a Purple bodysuit and a rose-colored negligee. I brought them to the cameras, and the chat was still exploding in viewer count. And I turned on my computer camera as well. A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. ¡°Alright, everyone, these are your choices,¡± I quickly started to lay them out and introduce which was which, as I did not expect men to know what lingerie was which. Then I got onto my computer and put up the vote for everyone to vote while everyone was asking to tell stories about Galaxy Online. I leaned back and thought of something fun, ¡°Look, everyone,¡± I said, looking into the camera and smiling, ¡°Right now, my main income is from sleeping. Honestly, I will admit all my income comes from you. These votes mean the most to me, and Galaxy Online is a hobby to me at this time, but all of you know that I am hoping to get back into gaming full-time. So, for now, I need to keep my cards close as I might have to sign contracts and things like that in the short future, and I am unsure what is going on with that. Please, enjoy picking out something cute for me to wear to sleep. I really appreciate it~!¡± I called out and put the vote up. ¡°For now,¡± I said as I saw the votes coming in, and the numbers were exploding more than usual as people posted that they voted and wanted me to talk about Galaxy Online. ¡°I am not saying more. Maybe I will elaborate more in the future, but just a couple of votes won''t make me talk,¡± I smiled sadistically, and Chat exploded again. ¡°Have a good day; I will see you all tonight. I cannot wait to see what you pick for me.¡± I turned off the stream, but the chat was still exploding. The votes were coming in, and there were already twice as many as normal. It seemed that I might not need to worry about groceries in the short term. Then I remembered that I was low on groceries and that I would need to order some. It would be best if I could have it arrive at the time when I could come pick it up from the door. For now, it was time to shower; Latex had the habit of making you sweat all over the inside because there was no place for the sweat to go. I felt amazing, but I knew that the moment this outfit came off, it would be a slimy mess. Since I was used to latex clothing, I quickly shed the second skin and brought it over the sink to wash it. It wouldn''t take too long, and it was time I got ready. I filled the sink to clean it up, and I moved to the bathroom and started to take a shower. I would eat the last sandwich my subs paid tribute to and hoped that worked me over until Lunch. The shower was nice, and my body felt light and fluffy. I turned and looked at my ass in the mirror, and I still saw ¡®WHORE¡¯ written in white skin among slightly red skin around it. I flushed and smiled at the memory, and then I got out of my closet and put on a tank and shorts. Nothing that would hide my package and I got to work. I felt a bit sore, so I looked at my exercise equipment. It was time I got back to exercising, too, as I needed to keep in shape. Not only for my career but for my health. I yawned and cleaned my latex outfit, hanging it up to dry while I put the old one back into my closet before moving to my computer. I got to work ordering food and having for the time I believed I would be out of the pod after playing Galaxy Online. I even gave myself a couple of hours of leeway, and I stretched and looked at the pod. Galaxy Online was a game that was all too realistic. I could clearly remember some of the brutal scenes in the game, and it was only now that I could think of them without feeling extremely stressed. If those were the scenes that soldiers had to see day in and day out, I could understand that PTSD shit. I could not imagine having to relive that in my memory. I sighed, and I hoped that shit did not happen to me for playing this game. I needed to make this work for a career. Sleep streaming would only last so long, and I was no longer as young as I used to be. My streaming statistics showed that a majority of men were watching my stream, but there was a solid core of women who did, too. Unknown was another large category but not as large as those identified as men. But the age group was actually getting younger and older, with people around my age lessening. It was odd, but it was what it was. I have about another ten or fifteen years left to change my career, and I wanted to get back into gaming the most. Another sigh left my lips as I stood before my pod. I wished that I had never haphazardly spent my money when I was in the pro league. No, I wish my parents did not spend all that money, and I could have made a lot of investments. Now I was here showing my body off to strangers. I smiled, not that I hated showing off my body to strangers. But I lifted the pod lid, got inside, and the lid closed as I logged back into Galaxy Online and adjusted the speed to four to one again. Chapter 78: Crack thoughts My eyes opened as I logged into Galaxy Online. The cavern was dark, and I heard some movement as I woke up. I saw the mute bounty hunters looking bored and hanging around. The one-dog guy was still bound tightly, and my two collared slaves were in their beds, looking happy that I woke up. I heard the stomachs grumble and knew that people were hungry. There were plenty of food supplies to go around. I started handing out food to everyone, and I started to think about what I was going to do. There was plenty I could do, but there were too many options. Did I want to take these people out of the forest? If I did that, though, I may as well leave with them instead of coming back into the forest to hunt. Should I go after the leader? My mind paused, and I thought about the quests. I decided to pull them back up again. ¡ª- Unique Quest Completed: Location Waterfalls Temporary Camp You have discovered potential information on why people are staying in this area. You believe they may be Criminals ambushing Bounty Hunters as they come into the forest seeking Criminals. They take them and bring them to this area as a gathering location before sending them somewhere else. You have Massacred the Group looking to resecure the Waterfalls for the unknown Bandit Group. Turn in their identities and the battle recording for additional rewards. ¡ª- ¡ª- Unique Quest Obtained: The Crew behind it all You took out a group of bandits you suspect of enslaving and attacking Bounty Hunters when they first entered the Saint''s forest. After Eliminating a large group, you cannot help but wonder if you can take out the entire unknown group. Another thought is that you might investigate how this Bandit group knows when Bounty Hunters are entering the Forest. Rewards for clearing the quest: Increased previous rewards from ¡°Location Waterfalls Temporary Camp¡± And a Voucher Consequences for not doing the quest or not accepting: Nothing Failure Conditions: You Die. ¡ª I looked at the two quests, and my mind was in turmoil. But I looked over the people here, and I wondered if I would be able to do the unique quest with them. The answer was no, as they would be a burden. I would have to feed them and defend them. If I were to go on this unique quest, then I would have to return these people out of the forest. I looked at the partial work done in the cave and I looked at the people I had and the tools I looted from the people. Some of them looked pretty sturdy, and I picked them up. It wasn''t like I needed all of them, either. A smile crossed my face, and I started to get to work as I decided some things. First of all, I wanted to keep this as a base camp for the future. It was near the edge of the forest and well hidden. I could leave things here for a short-term basis and come back, but it should not be moved. So I could return these people and maybe call in a bounty transport inside of a taxi. I would stay away from the public transit system and spend a bit more for even a luxury service. I just decided I would not leave the same way I showed up. I pulled out the ammo for a couple of the handguns and made sure they were empty, and I got all my slaves working on something for their food after they ate. I wanted them to finish something for me, and I got them all working on the makeshift prison that I wanted. With new orders and the promise to return the bounty hunters back to civilization sooner over later, they got to work knowing that the prison I asked them to make would be the bell for when they got to leave my employ. Instead, I got over to the crack in the wall and started to look out. That is how it all went, and I spent the day getting used to doing overwatch and eating. The valley was remarkably clear, and I watched. For hours and hours, I watched and felt bored, but it was something I thought would start to happen in the pro leagues. With all this extra time to think, I thought about how the pro leagues might shape up in the future. With the Gabin Corporation having the ability to speed up time in the game world, why wouldn''t they for the pro league matches if it was a more realistic form of combat? Making everything four times the speed would be insanely helpful. It would cut down waiting time while people killed each other, and you could easily slow down for a highlight reel. It wasn''t like they couldn''t slow down the watch speed when things were happening in the arena. It would make for a great viewing experience, and even in space combat, you could avoid all the posturing parts or at least make them shorter. I could only see benefits to doing that. There was vehicle combat and hunting things that speeding it all up would allow the audience to see more in less time. Maybe even have a way to slow it all down so people can watch the people that they want to watch more of and learn from. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. The amount of information you would be able to learn about enemy teams would be immense, too. That means any corporation in the proleagues would need a data processing team on retainer for matches. If what I was thinking would be true, that would be costly. I watched out the crack, and my mind slipped into theory crafting as I looked around. The valley was quiet, and the night came in. Once again, I wished I had something to assist with the night watch. It would do me a world of good and allow me to be an even better night fighter. Still, I watched and knew after this many hours, I would have to feed my laborers. So I got up and fed them before coming to the crack. It was a long night, and nothing happened, so I decided to just nap inside the game as I planned my groceries for the second day. Waking up, I inspected the work. With the increased labor, they really cut into the rock and were expanding the Cavern. I would have to do something about a door, but I was thinking about solutions. Instead of thinking too much, I fed everyone, pulled out the bounty tablet, and started to search for features. I never really spent that much time on it, and now I was looking a bit more into it. It took me a while, but I found the feature. Or more like a service. ¡°Out in the forest needing to bring your bounties in for temporary storage at the Bounty office? We are the contractors for you! We pick up and deliver things so you can stay out and pick up more bounties! If you are bringing in a haul, we are the discreet service for you! We will pick up and replace capture collars captured bounties you want to be brought back to the bounty office or our specialized holding facility while you are still out. The bounty office or we will hold onto the criminals until you have decided what you want to do with them. We will drop off supplies and equipment to you in the field. We will not, however, enter the forest with our trucks. All our vehicles are off the grid, and we will post a tracker where we will meet clandestinely. This is all for your security! Make use of our services Today! Purchases to be brought out will incur a small fee for each item and can only be up to a certain amount of space due to cargo limitations.¡± There was a bit more small print, and the ad kind of threw a bunch of information at you, but reading it, I realized this was the service I wanted. I needed a discreet service to pick these people up, bring them to the bounty office along with all the heads and useless cargo I had, and bring some supplies. Some night vision and infrared would be insanely useful, as would a silencer. As a bonus, I could order everything at the edge of the forest, and they guarantee a maximum of an hour of delivery and pick-up time. I started to salivate just thinking about it. It would make that unique quest actually achievable! One of the quests only increased the rewards for the other one. I could turn in what I have and increase the rewards or complete the Unique quest and have even more with the previous quest. With this service, I might be able to reload everything I need except a new armor. I did not have the credits without putting in the current bounties. I also had to pay out to keep my contract going without incurring a contract breaker trait or oathbreaker. Everything on the internet said that it was one of the worst traits to have. My mind was practically made up, and I grinned and wondered if this service also assisted criminals. I am sure there was a market for assisting them. Ecosystems like that were created when you allowed a criminal element to exist. I almost chuckled at the thought that they deliberately set it up so that these would be considered training grounds and places to make and create free labor slaves. I already knew there was a market for them. My mind settled, and I knew it was going to be a risk¡ªa large increase in risk¡ªbut there were going to be others who got through the loophole as I did. If I wanted to go the route of creating a Corporation and starting my own pro league team, then I would have to have a commanding lead. That meant that I needed to be strong myself and come out to the main universe with a strong backing that I could leverage to take off even faster. I had a spaceship with Ura; cargo transportation was no small amount of credit, and spaceships were expensive. That meant that I would need to increase the amount of Credits that I make on bounties and good gear while picking up quick, strong bounties that paid out. Then, I would have to increase the number of NPC employees I had. NPC employees would be for the best as I would have less real-world money than I would have credits if I went this route. Every dime I make in the game could not be traded out unless I was desperate for the cash and paying people. I would need to reinvest everything inside the game. I did not know if NPCs were respawnable in the main universe, but that was something that I would find out in time. For now, this was the only way forward, and if I wanted to do it that way, then I would have to go all in. No more trying to get a team that might not be able to handle my personality. It would all be me making a team around people who could handle me and the people around me. It was going to be much more difficult, but as long as I finish the tutorial, I potentially can always go back to joining another team. Everything would be about the next few months in the game, and the game barely started. I needed to settle in for that, and I would because I have to. My first target was to earn enough Federation credits for a light-weight or medium-weight scouting armor that could be used in the future. Then, I will find an engineer and programmer who can help me start making more versatile traps. Teaching myself more about weapons and traps would be critical to my future success. My mind was made up, and that was what I was going to work to achieve¡ªsmall goals at a time. Maybe before I left the tutorial, I would have small goals like a new cargo ship for shipping or a corvette for defense. None of that can happen until I finish these small goals of completing this Unique quest without dying. I took a deep breath, checked their progress, and came up with a plan. I would move after they cut into the cavern enough that I could block it off. Then, I would take these people back to the forest''s edge and get a delivery of much-needed supplies and equipment. Then, I would start to bounty hunt and complete that quest deep in the forest, using the cavern as a main base. My mind was settled, and once I checked up on the work, I went back to the crack and started to watch the forest line for intruders. Maybe it would be boring, but I felt a renewed sense of purpose and an extreme lack of stress compared to the days before. Chapter 79: Keep Me! Cutting into the cavern took another day before they were all done and looking at me, defeated and tired. I logged out, grabbed my groceries, ate a bit before logging back in, and decided to act. The new prison was a small door with a hole I could toss through the wall and a hole for a latrine. It was all set with something so simple, and I smiled as I finished it. I gave them all extra food, except for the bound dog guy, who looked sore. I let them eat and decided what I was taking and what I was leaving. I collected and set aside a pair of handguns, a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a light rifle. The rest were packed into the boxes and bags I looted from my enemies. I left several hundred rounds and extra magazines for the guns I left, although much less on the shotgun shells; there were still over a dozen guns for us to take with us. I left a bunch of the supplies for camping that did not get blown up in my trap camp, grabbed the electronics, and put them in my bag. Then I started to get ready my order for delivery. It was amazing that they had an offline store that had none of their current deals on things that you could order and when you were in range to quickly order. This would allow me to cut down the time that I was in limbo at the edge of the forest, and that was something I needed. I quickly found a silencer for the assault rifle, pistol, and sniper. None of them were rated high enough to completely eliminate the sound that they were going to make, but it would reduce it. My pistol would be heavily reduced, which was an extreme plus. I got ready for a Thermal scope for my rifle and night-vision goggles. I wanted to pick up the helmet, but it was too expensive, so I chose the much cheaper option. Then, I picked up a thermal red dot for my assault rifle. It was going to lower my available credits a lot, but if I died, then I would lose them anyway. I got a thin, lightweight body armor to protect my center of mass. Then, I picked up a range of grenades for the fight ahead and knew I could not carry too much more. I started to put in the specs for what I would be bringing to the drop. All the while, I had let everyone rest up, untied the legs of the dog kin, and was about to trap his body from tunning when I remembered that I was about to get my collars back, so I collared him. He sighed as I finally released him from his bindings and ordered him to shut up and follow my orders. I put a backpack of things on him and started to suit everyone up to carry my loot out of the forest for me. It was going to be a long trip, and it might take me all day, but that was fine. It took a couple of hours, and it was starting to hit sundown as I finished prepping everything to move. I started to bring everything down with them. After making them all walk the room without triggering traps, I double-checked the other side of the vines and then headed out. All of them followed me, with the mute ones looking happy to be leaving. We reached the forest without issues, and I made sure to go into the forest in an area where I had not set up traps yet. I was looking for marks that I had marked up so I would not hit my own traps, and we soon were a half hour away and out of my trap range. I was hyper-alert as we moved through the forest toward the nearest edge, which should take all night. We traveled as the sun dipped beyond the horizon, and it was dark. I did not need to worry about the mute ones, but I kept the dog guy in front of me. I listened to things around me, and it was hard to travel in the dark, but after hours and hours of walking, absolutely nothing came to kill me or take the people I was transporting. Then all of the sudden we were out of the forest after hours of walking and using a compass I stole. So I pushed them all back undercover and my tablet linked up to the net. I quick ordered everything and the service pinged a locating about a half hour walk away to resupply. I pointed it out and we walked along the edge of the forest just inside a bit so as not to be in the open. I thought there would be more people attacking me, especially after how I entered the forest. I moved with the group, and I could see the criminals looking lost. Emma came up to me, ¡°Bounty hunter lady, c¡ªcan I ask you something?¡± She said nervously, and I looked at her as we were approaching the drop-off location. ¡°What?¡± I curiously asked as we rested. ¡°I- I,¡± Emma looked nervously at the other two, ¡°I want you to keep me as a slave, please. I really don''t want to be sold to some random. I would rather learn to bounty hunt as a slave. Please, I really don''t want to go to prison. I will make it worth your while with information if you decide to keep me. I swear it, Please.¡± ¡°Emma, Shut the-¡± Both the Dog-kin and Kimmy started to snap out ¡°Quiet,¡± I snapped, looking at Kimmy and the Dog guy. I turned to look at the young slut that I met taking the dog¡¯s cock. ¡°Hmm,¡± I looked at the ETA as we approached the area, and I looked at her. I thought about it and wondered if it had to do with the quest. I looked at her longer, ¡°What is the information about generally? Tell me, and I will decide.¡± This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Emma looked at the other two. ¡°It is about how you were ambushed coming into the forest,¡± she said seriously. I smiled and looked at her. ¡°Okay, I will send you back with this cargo shipment, but I will keep you if I survive. If I don''t, you go back into the prison system here,¡± I said with a grin. Emma nodded, and Kimmy and the Dog kin looked pissed. ¡°Why are they so mad you are going to talk,¡± I asked just as she was about to talk. ¡°Because they will most likely be back in this forest in a couple of months.¡± Emma took a breath and looked at the other two, ¡°I fucking don''t want to live in this shit-stained forest anymore. I am sick of taking your dirty ass cock so you all think I am worth keeping around instead of with a bullet to my head,¡± The dog-kin looked shocked, ¡°I was no whore; I was trying to live because I knew that if I did not open my legs, he would kill me,¡± she sneered, ¡°I regret what I did, but I no longer can live this life.¡± She said to her compatriots. She looked at me and sighed, ¡°The reason that they keep ambushing all the Bounty hunters is because there is a tracker around this forest. They have a device that some criminals stole from the military. It tracks any artificial intelligence on the planet''s global network that pings this location, and since most people drive with the artificial intelligence, almost every bounty hunter is picked up. That means as long as you manually take anything in and out of this forest, no one will know. But our boss and a bunch of other groups he is working with that he sells the information to them for a cut of their profits when taking the bounty hunters in.¡± Then, a notification pinged for me. ¡ª-- New Unique Quest - Hunted Bounty Hunters You have received information that tells you how the criminals in Saint''s Forest are hunting down bounty hunters. Potential Completion:
  1. Notify the Bounty Hunter Office
  1. Collect evidence for the Bounty Hunter Office if that information is true for a reward.
  1. Collect Evidence and destroy the device for the Hunter Office and receive a much larger reward.
Failure conditions: Death or someone else reports to the office before you. ¡ª-- I looked at Emma, shocked, and smiled; that was worth some information and nine thousand credits I would have to give half away. No, I would keep her around, and if she wasn''t useful, we could dump her on some other planet whenever we wanted to. ¡°Alright, I will keep my word with you. As long as I am able to pick you up when I leave this forest, then I will bring you away from this planet. As someone who travels around the galaxy, you must pick up your slack and prove your worth, or I will dump you on some random planet at my convenience, but it is better than being locked up.¡± ¡°Yes, thank you. This should help you leave. Also, the boss''s base moves once a week, but he tends to stay on the eastern side of the forest, only about a two¡ªor three-day walk from the valley we were at. At least twenty people at the main base just came back from a raid. I have no idea how many would be back from that raid of a rival''s base.¡± I saw a large van coming up to the edge of the forest, and I could somehow tell an AI was not running it. It did not come down with the same grace. It came down reluctantly, and the doors opened. I saw two aliens jump out just as it landed. I brought the people over, and they smiled. ¡°Tell me the sit rep,¡± One with six thin limbs asked and almost looked like a mantis without the sword hands. ¡°This one,¡± I said, pointing out Emma, ¡°Needs to be separated from these two,¡± I said, pointing at the other two. ¡°These people here,¡± I said, pointing at the mute people, ¡°Are bounty hunters I rescued, and their collars are tied to this Laptop,¡± I said, pulling that out of my bag and handing it to them as the other guy that hopped out was pulling out a bag and handing it to me. This man was four-limbed and purple, but I didn''t look at him too long. ¡°This one,¡± I again pointed at Emma, ¡°I think I might be keeping, but if I don''t come back,¡± I shrugged, and they nodded. ¡°We don''t want to be here much longer. Are you looking to assist these bounty hunters in escaping their plight? You have captured them as slaves.¡± ¡°Is there a fee to free them?¡± I asked. ¡°Yup, a small one; we will look into it for a thousand credits and free them for the same amount, or we will not charge you if it costs more.¡± ¡°Okay, I will spend a thousand credits to at least uncollar them. I will ¡®keep¡¯ them for now. I would like to talk to them before I free them, but I would have to uncollar them anyway.¡± The Mantis nodded, and I looked into my bag and noticed that everything was there. He smiled. ¡°It''s a Pleasure doing business with you, SleepyWonder. We hope to see you at our offices soon. We will hold your things up to a month, but after two weeks, there is a charge, and if no one has paid storage fees, you have surrendered your bounties to us.¡± ¡°Understood,¡± I said as the last of the people got into the truck. The man changed the three with collars that I owned. He collared them himself and passed me my capture collars. Then, the transaction was complete, the large van departed, and I ran back into the forest and started to head back. Unless someone was nearby, they would not be able to shoot at me, but I reached into the bag and found a thick bush. I got inside, pulled out the night vision goggles, put them on, and turned them on. I grinned as the night lit up, and I could see clearly in a dark green. There were blindspots still, as these were cheap goggles, but it was infinitely better than my previous eyes. I grinned and headed in deeper, holding my assault rifle at the ready as I walked back to the valley with a fresh smile on my face. Chapter 80: Unexpected Text It took time to get back to the valley, and the sun started to come back up by the time I reached the edge of the valley. I would have a night in the cavern to organize things and get set up before logging out. I brought my tools with me to add things to my guns, and I would have to take a couple of practice shots after swapping out scopes. I planned to be mainly active at night in the coming days, with some night vision and the lack of it among my enemies. Actually, I had to assume that my enemies would not be so stupid as to send something without more technology next time. It was a question of why there wasn''t more tech like that in the forest. I had spent thousands on it, but that was something that they should have done. Then it hit me: maybe this place was more isolated than I thought. Maybe, and it was only conjecture that this place was cut off from more than just the network. I had to be at the border of the forest to hook up to the bounty network. Maybe only the Bounty network worked at the edge, and the Bounty hunters specifically used the service I used. It would explain some lack of technology in the forest in a space-age area. The tech that they did have was when they first came in and what they took from the bounty hunters who came in here. The fact that this is the lowest-rated bounty-hunting area means they would have less tech as well. That was the best explanation that I could think of, and it was quite plausible in my mind. My mind was full of speculation, and I realized that I should have questioned them more. Information gathering was only now on my mind after sending them away. It was stupid of me, but now I wanted to capture someone to get more information, which is particularly stupid BECAUSE I JUST HAD THREE OF THEM! I looked around and continued on my way as I cursed at myself. I reached the edge of the valley, and I stepped over a trap I marked. The place seemed just as emptied as I left it, and I started to head toward my cave. It was remarkably uneventful, and I entered the cavern and began to get to work, turning this Cavren into a proper base to work with. I set up some new lights, and I set up one of the few pieces of equipment that I purchased from the bounty office, along with the grenades. It was a prison door that used minimal power, and it was a force field. There was a variety of prison systems available to bounty hunters, and the cut into the cavern wall was especially useful. The cheap thing was a door that would not be easy to crack. It could even act as an arm shield in an emergency with a shield function and door function. One of the things I found after looking into these force field doors was that there was an entire section of instruments of swords, Vibro swords, Crystal swords, and Forcefield swords in an incredible range of weapons. There was a shield section and a diverse utility group of shields that I picked this up from. As long as no one was shooting at this shield, it could take the beating of twenty people three months to punch through it. It''s truly a perfect thing for what I need. But the shield would not be good for taking bullets. I would have to ensure that they had nothing to disrupt the forcefield or shoot it with any kind of damage, as it was a backup shield at best, meant for only tanking a couple of bullets at the most. I also purchased one mobile sniper post, but it could only take a couple of rounds. It would help if I got into a firefight. Survival was becoming a huge need. In my previous games, I was more used to playing fast shooters, and I used my agility for that. I hoped that I would be able to make this character-build work in the future. I was not the best aimer, but I hoped things would work out. I sighed as I continued to set up the cavern, lights, latrines, and a cooking spot. I could not just keep munching on jerky. I looted some perishable food, which would make some good eating for the coming days. My guns and ammo were quickly sorted and put into the side cave with the crack in the wall. I wished I could have another force field door for this room, but life did not always give you what you wanted. I laid down and looked out the crack to see if anything changed. The sun was starting to get up there, and I continued working at it. This cave was very hidden, and no one knew I was there. I should not count on that completely, but it was something I relied on. I finished a couple more things, and I decided to log out. I believe it would be a bit early, but I could use another break before I go hard the next week. Maybe another trip to Smoke and Roses? I laid down on my sleeping mat and logged out of the game. The pod lid opened, and I stretched, almost purring as I got out. Damn, you feel a bit stiff after being in the pod but oddly not stiff too. It was a peculiar feeling nonetheless, and I got to my phone, and my eyebrows rose as I saw the text. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Amber: So, I am a straight-forward woman. I find myself thinking about you after last night, and I was hoping to engage with you more sometime if you are interested. I know you said you are a Switch, and I most definitely am not. But I am completely open to a relationship with you and bringing in others, as it seems we are both Bisexual. I know it was only last night that we played together, but I have an itch for you. Amber: Also, because you recommended it, I purchased a Galaxy Online pod, which will be shipped to my place in a couple of days. I was hoping maybe a couple of recommendations if you are interested in meeting up with me. I blushed and smiled, knowing how hard it was to be dominant and make the first move. It was also incredibly sexy, and I found myself licking my lips. I would have no problem seeing her again tonight, but I was not that into being a bottom, which meant we would need someone else. Then again, I was also in a mixed mood; maybe I could invite her over, and we could see if I was in the mood to be dominated. Before I thought more about it, I was already hitting the call button. I heard it ring three times before I heard Amber pick up. "Hello, Honey," Amber said slowly, "I assume you read my messages." "I did," I replied with a smile, "I think we should talk in person instead of over the phone." "That means that you are not exactly averse to the idea then." "I would not be adverse is correct; your idea is intriguing, and I enjoyed your company last night, however brief it was. I like your direct attitude, and although your texts were cute, I know how hard that can be," I replied forthcoming. "That is nice to hear. I am not good at putting my foot forward in these types of situations, but I also remember that you said that you are incredibly busy. That means that I will have to step forward and ask you out. Now, where would you like to talk?" Amber asked. "My place?" I asked, "I do not know what mood I am in at the moment, but I know a couple nearby that I can call up to whip if I am in a more top mood if we get into a sexual mood. You bring some food along while I get ready?" Silence on the other side of the phone for a couple of seconds, and I heard a sigh, "I am a bit paranoid. Do you mind if I bring a gun?" Amber asked, "I-" "I remember the scars; whatever makes you feel safe," I replied with a smile, "Trauma is a thing, and I am not going to judge you for it. Come on over, and it is one of the reasons I offered for you to bring the food. That way, you know I won''t take advantage of you." "Thank you," Amber said, her voice filled with emotion, "You are one of the few people who have truly engaged with my blunt attitude and not been thrown off." "Let''s talk when you are here; I will ensure that I have some liquor," I said and froze, "Oh shit, I don''t have alcohol here, I am sorry. Do you mind picking some up along the way? I can''t really drink too much as I am on the grind with the game. After this, I plan to go hardcore for a couple of weeks, so this is kind of the last time I will be free for a couple of days, if not weeks." "I will pick up a bottle of wine. Text me your address, and I will text you an ETA for everything. I will order something now so I can pick it up along the way. Do you have any allergies?" "None that I can remember killing me. Come with what you like," I replied. "I will surprise you then. I look forward to seeing you," Amber finished, and I felt a thrill in my heart. Amber was one of the most unique Dominatrixes I have ever been with. I have not been with that many, and I usually top. But I felt a thrill at the fact that she wanted to come over right away. Her blunt demeanor meant I did not have to wait to find out what she was thinking. That was a refreshing change; she engaged with me at my level. I felt a bit giddy, and I would not mind being in a relationship with such a hot dominatrix. It would be a lot of fun playing with another dominatrix as we both took a twink or something. It was not unheard of for a relationship between two dominant people. It was rare, and the relationships were almost universally open relationships, where they dominated others together. With me being a switch, I could both dominate and be dominated by her. I had never really had a working open relationship before because my partner would get too jealous, and I found myself smiling more thinking about being with Amber. Suddenly, I realized I had been standing in a spot in my causal clothes, just thinking about Amber and how nice it would be to be in a relationship with her. I blushed, and my mind pictured Ura, too, and I shook my head; Ura was an NPC in a video game world, and although she was objectively a great sub, it would never be a real-life relationship. Not that I would not play with Ura, even in a relationship with Amber. I liked Ura as an NPC, and she felt amazing. I grinned and stripped, walked over to the bathroom, and texted Amber my house address. I also wondered what gun she was going to bring with her. It was surprising because, in Canada, Handguns and personal firearms were heavily regulated despite the growing number of gang-related gun violence. Because the Americans have so few regulations, anyone who shares a border with them inevitably will be swarmed with illegal firearms coming through. At least we were not in Mexico with the cartel, and our cops were better trained. Suppose she had a concealed firearms license, which meant that she was probably a cop at some point. Then I remembered that she said she was part of the CSIS or the RCMP dealing with foreign affairs or something. Honestly, I did not know much about it, and it was not something that many people I knew talked about, like the Americans with the CIA. So I just did not know that much, and it sounded like Amber was not going to talk about it either. Honestly, that was perfectly fine with me. I felt genuinely excited for her to be coming, and I headed over to the shower with a bright smile on my face. As I stripped, I got a text telling me she would be here in forty-five minutes to an hour and a half as the place she was getting food might take longer. Plus, she wanted to pick out an outfit to wear tonight. I felt a thrill through me, and I remembered her thinking about bringing a Man into the relationship last night. I would not mind a new man that was not such a cuck. A twink might be nice with a nice cock to ride. Edging was so much fun, and I remembered that Amber was into edging too. I felt more of a thrill from a new relationship, and I wondered if she was thinking the way that I was despite that text. I haven''t had a semi-permanent or long-term lover in a while. I needed to focus and get ready for my date thought. I got into the running water and started. Chapter 81: Date I found myself oddly nervous as I finished getting ready, knowing that Amber would be here any minute as I looked at my outfits. I was unsure what to wear as I knew exactly what I wanted last time, but this time I didn''t. Last time I wanted to be a little bitch for a Dominant, and right now, I was on the fence about my mood. I looked at all my clothing and had no idea what to wear for my first date in over a year. Amber would be here soon, and I wanted to look good for her. I pouted, and then my eyes landed on a Cyan dress that was a bit submissive but a cute Chinese-style dress with a wide open back. I grabbed it, and I quickly started to get dressed. I saw how it showed off my hips, cleavage, and entire back, with Cyan ribbons to tighten the dress together. I decided against underwear for tonight as the dress was down to my ankles with a large cloth down the front and the back down to my ankles. It was a dress I got for a party I had to go to, and it still fit well. Smiling, I looked at myself in the mirror and fixed my red hair. I smiled into the mirror, looked at myself, did a little makeup to match the dress, and felt a thrill. It had been so long since my last date, and I left my closet and realized that this probably wasn''t the best place for a date. My apartment was lacking a lot of things and was extremely utilitarian. I looked at the time and had a bit of time before she arrived. I went around and started to clean things up, and I grabbed a couple of cups out as I got the call to buzz Amber in. I hit the button and felt my heart thump in my chest as excitement built up. "Damn it, girl, you have dated before. I know you haven''t dated in a long time, but you are not sixteen anymore. Keep your cool, girl," I cursed at myself, "She is the one more interested in you, and you can keep your cool, girl." I shook my head, and I walked to my door slowly, trying not to freak myself out. I knew that I played with Amber last night as a bottom but I was getting myself to amped. I just had not had a partner with me in a bit and actually get to know each other. Then I heard the door knock and I waited a moment to catch myself and shake my head cooling it a bit. Her sudden partial confession made me feel like a schoolgirl. After taking that moment, I opened the door and saw her with a frown on her face that turned into a smile as she saw me. Amber looked good in a Latex Bodysuit, instantly reminding Ura in her jumpsuit. It showed off her curves, and she looked really dominant in them. She looked me up and down and stepped into my apartment, "Looking good, Honey," Amber purred, strutting in with her high heels before stopping by the door and kicking them off lightly. "You look amazing this evening if I do say so myself." "And you too, Amber," I replied, trying not to have a frog in my throat as I looked at the woman in front of me. I was acting off, and I was off my game. I will admit, I did not think I would have any more free time this week, but I came to a decision in the game, and it gave me a free night tonight." I replied, and I noticed the large bag that I had not previously noted in her hand. "Oh, this is dinner," she said, holding it up. It''s a stakeout special: Burgers, fries, and milkshakes. If you say no to this, then you''re not that interesting." "Who could say no to that?" "Good. I also brought a bottle of wine, and I am sure that we have a bit to discuss. I see you are a utilitarian woman. There is not much here but workout clothes, a Kitchen, and a counter to eat at," Amber said, looking around my apartment, and I blushed. "There are two bedrooms, but I use one as a closet." She raised an eyebrow, and I grinned. "May I show you my closet and bedroom?" Amber smiled and walked in with me, putting the food on the counter as we walked into my closet. "Oh wow, there are so many different outfits, lingerie, Latex, and Cosplay things here, and so many cute, sexy, and dominant dresses. It seems you like to shop for clothing." "I used to, too, when I had more money. It helped me since I am now a sleep streamer, and perverts watch me sleep for money. Which is why you will be more surprised to see my bedroom than my massive closet," I said with a wry smile. I pointed to my bedroom and brought her in to see the ensemble of cameras pointed toward my bed, and she raised an eyebrow. "I want to film a porn of me dominating you with this," Amber said bluntly, looking at me, and I blushed at the thought of being pushed down and dominated by her, and I realized that the reason that I might be acting the way I am today is that I was still in a more submissive mood. I looked away and took a deep breath, "You don''t seem to object to my proposal. Maybe even tonight?" She asked, looking me up and down with sultry eyes. "Damn, You might have me, to be honest; I think we can talk before that; I am in an odd mood if I am being honest. I don''t feel submissive, but I am not exactly dominant. We will see if I start to get in a more submissive mood. Seriously," I said, looking into her eyes, "I just got out of the pod not long ago there," I said, pointing out the pod, and she smiled, "I read your text, and I liked you last night, too. This is my free time for next week, so I am glad that you texted. I haven''t dated in a while and am in a weird mood because I am excited to try and date you." I blushed with my blunt confession, and Amber blushed too and smiled with a smile I knew well. "Okay, I love the bluntness; I hate people who walk around the point like idiots. I am also a little horny tonight, and you look great. Can we invite someone over if you''re in a more dominant mood? I have a little twink that I think would make a great third and is Bisexual. He loves taking cock. The bigger, the better, and well," She looked down, and her smile grew, "you''re bigger than most men." "You know I would like that regardless," I replied with a smile, "At least we both know we are getting laid tonight unless something between us goes horribly wrong." Amber turned and headed to the kitchen, picking up the bottle as I followed her back. "Then, let''s make sure nothing goes horribly wrong. Tell me about your game. What are you up to now?" I smiled and got into telling her about the forest I was in and how much I blundered with equipment and various other things. And she was smiling but looked in thought as I talked. "You know," Amber said as we sipped on wine and pulled out the food as we talked, "This game sounds very realistic. Do you think you might be able to practice real-world metallurgy gunsmithing and precision machining? It sounds like after I pick a class, I might want to enroll in some virtual classes related to what I would like to do. Maybe you should do that too," Amber said, taking a sip of her wine, and I paused, looking at her stupidly. I opened my mouth and shut it, and I could think of no way to counter that. There was no reason that I couldn''t. Sure, it would not be the same as using the machines in person, or I could do YouTube tutorials, but there was literally no reason why I shouldn''t. I was helplessly behind in the crafting in the game, and my entire build was desperate for it. My race demanded that knowledge, but I did not have it. The learning tools were there, and I just had not made use of them. I couldn''t get in the forest, but once I was back in the spaceship with Ura, Nyava, and Emily, I most definitely could. I had the tools there and could use the four times speed to try things out. Sure, it would be a lot of jumping out of the pod and going back in for any questions. But who cared about that? I could learn so much about material science in the real world and seemingly apply the fundamentals, at least to the game. It was going for hyperrealism. That meant that I would be encountering this anyway. Not only that, but it would teach me to make silencers that I could put onto the market in the game and make money using materials instead of losing money. I still have almost five months in the game. I could travel from planet to planet doing bounties and security while developing my skills. Ultimately, I would still need an engineer and a programmer for my build, but that would come with the travel. I would still need all the base things that I could learn in the real world instead of in the game. I could do the explosions myself, and I could learn so many of the tasks without needing to regulate them to NPCs. This was a fantastic idea, and I could not believe that I did not think of it myself. NO! I had already been doing that with the booby traps that I set up in the valley, the grenade traps. I had been winging it instead of a more formal setup. I could be more meticulous about it and develop slowly. Learn a foundation before the fantasy of the gaming world came in. There was also magic and various other things in the game, which would all be included that I could learn. But having something firmly shaped on reality and physics would make me wonder about making things work later as the game was basing itself off reality for many things. My mouth was open, and I heard Amber chuckle, "You did not think of that, I guess. It would be the same with your forest; as a bounty hunter, you might want to look into Tracking guides on YouTube or something. They might not be the best, and talent is needed, but," She shrugged, "learning from someone good is best, but you can try to learn it yourself. Tracking bounties with some knowledge and being able to trace their movements sounds really useful. Not only that, but you have to know about your own tracks, so you will become harder to track." Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. "Okay, that makes a lot of sense," I said finally as I picked up the burger and bit into it to buy myself some time. I cannot believe the number of things that I have missed and forgotten while going into this forest." "That is normal," Amber said with a smile, taking a sip of wine, and started to munch on some fries, "People who are not trained don''t realize there are many things. There are obvious things that you need to even take camping that people forget and things that you forget when you are going to bounty hunt in the forest. Do not be hard on yourself; the fact that you are surviving in the forest is more than probably what many people can say on their first time." "Thanks. I have done well for myself with hyperrealism. I took out a couple of bases with many people by myself without help. I did that without getting myself killed or a debilitating injury. I feel that needs to be acknowledged," I replied with a smile. "Yes, it might be a game, but how it sounds, it sounds like it might not be too far from real life," Amber said, looking thoughtful, "This game might be more interesting than I thought. I know in real life I cannot go back to what I used to be able to do, but in this game," She trailed off a little, looking lost, and smiled, and I liked that smile. It reminded me of when I thought about the good days of the plague. She liked what she was thinking, and she looked at me. "I am finding myself more excited to play now. I will have to see what I can play. I wonder if they have an Infiltrator or agent class?" Amber asked and shook her head. Now, let us move on from that topic. The burgers are getting a little cold, and let''s not let them." "They are greasy and good," I replied with a grin, and I started to ask her about a couple of things. Favorite Color: Red Birthday: June 30th Blood type: O positive, which matches mine. Her favorite Sport is hockey, but she only watches the Olympics. She is still salty, like I am, about the fact that they attacked Canada with NHL players who cannot be in the Winter Olympics. Apartment, Condo, or house? She likes Condos and Apartments over houses but hates the HOAs. Her political leanings were socialist and Libertarian, which interested me, but we did not discuss them much. Favorite Music? Electronic music does not follow any artists. Dream job as a kid? To be an RCMP officer. My favorite place in the world? This question gave me a very subtle smile. She said she would like to take me there one day but would not tell me where it was. What is your favorite activity after a long day? Having a Twink worshiping her feet. "Oh, I am not a twink," I replied. "And I am not a bottom, but you''re still happy to have a date with me," Amber replied. You like twinks, too." I could not help but smile and think, "I would love to dominate a twink tonight." "Want me to invite one over?" "Yes, Yes, I do, actually. I might be a little submissive tonight, but I would like to be a top to someone else, too. Maybe you can be my queen tonight as I fuck the twink while he worships you." "I love that thought," Amber replied. She finished her wine and moved around the counter, and I watched her walk towards me. Her hand suddenly stroked my cheek and leaned forward and kissed me. Her hand wrapped around my back and pulled me toward her. Our breasts mashed together, and our tongues intertwined. I moaned into her lips, and her latex pressed against my breasts. And she broke the kiss and showed me her phone. She showed me as she made a phone call, and I watched, blushing a little. "Reggie, I am going to text you an address. You are going to get here in some nice clothes in the next hour. If you are early, you get a reward; if you are on time, you are punished; and if you are late," Amber chuckled. " Don''t be late." She hung up the phone, and she smiled at me. "I liked that," I said with a smile before my smile disappeared, "You will never call me like that, though. I will reject it with all my being, even in a submissive mood." Amber smiled, "I can tell. You may be the first Switch I have been with, but I can tell you do not do well with pure orders. You are a companion-style submissive. You are almost at an equal level with a Dominant, even when you are a submissive. Reggie?" Amber chuckled, "That boy is through and through a masochist who lives to please. Seriously, I know he wants to live the slave life twenty-four seven and have a Dommy Mommy control him twenty-four hours, seven days a week." Amber closed the distance to me again, "That is why I would never date him Like I would date you, Honey. I want to spend time with you as an equal, not as your queen but as a friend as well. You are the first woman or man who has made me feel that way since I got discharged. So, you will never receive a phone call like that from me." I looked into her eyes. I moved my hand up and stroked her cheek with the back of my hand before slowly bringing her closer. Our lips pressed against each other, and our hands started to explore each other while our lips pressed against each other, and we exchanged breath, and our tongues danced together. I felt her grabbing my breast as she teased me, and I moaned as I grabbed her breasts in return and found a lovely little zipper for her pussy and slowly started to unzip it. We were both full out second base on the other, and she was pushing my back against the counter, and my back arched as my hand dipped into her honey pot. She moaned as I felt how wet she was, and my fingers pushed inside of her, and she shuddered. My fingers hooked inside her and moved faster, and I felt her tongue licking mine and her body jerking and shuddering from my sudden fingering of her pussy, and I felt the fluids build faster and faster. Amber moaned and shuddered, and she broke the kiss just as she jerked back. Her body shuddered, and her leg shook as she squirted onto my kitchen floor and a little on my dress. "F- Fuck, you are good; you hit a g spot with no problems." Amber moaned, and her eyes were half-lidded before looking at me and opening them again. "Want to make out until the Twink gets here?" Amber asked. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to sandwich the twink when he got here," I replied with a smile and stood as I pulled her body flush with mine, and we started to make out hard. Time flew, and soon, I was opening the door for a small five-foot-five man. Both Amber and I were a little breathless after making out for just over forty-five minutes, and our faces were flush. We were excited. Amber smiled, leaning on the counter as I opened the door, and Reggie looked between the two of us. "Hello, I am Reggie," He said with a smile, and he opened up the brown trenchcoat that he was wearing, showing me a cute little crop top and skirt with chains on it. The crop top had ''Twink'' written across it on the top, then ''Queens boi'' below it across his chest. His stomach was soft, and his skirt was short, stopping just below his ass. "Queen, Who is this?" He asked, his voice soft and a little feminine. He didn''t seem like a femboy, but he was quite close. Twink was an apt description of Reggie. "This is Honey, Your Mistress tonight, as I am your Queen, no less than me but my equal to you. Reggie, have you been good these past couple of weeks, no unknowns?" Amber asked. "I have been good, queen, I got a test three days ago, and my results were clean," Reggie replied. "Then you can go into Reggie Raw if you want, Honey," Amber said, and I smiled. "I am game," I said with a smile, turning to Amber. " Do you Want to get this started? I think it would be more fun if I acted in an assisting role." "Perfect, you don''t know Reggie," Then Amber turned to Reggie, and she turned into Queen. She snapped her fingers and pointed to the bedroom. "Crawl into that room." She snapped the order, walked over, and sat on his back. Just as he got onto his knees, she lifted her legs off the ground, making Reggie groan and start to move. It was fun, and I locked the door with a smile and walked around them, feeling the thrill. I watched as Reggie crawled as his Queen''s throne, and I got into my bedroom and booted up my computer. I was ready for them by the time they got in the room and turned on all my cameras to watch the bed, and I grinned as I tore off the sheets but the base layers with waterproofing and grinned. "Let''s film Reggie enjoying a night," I said with a grin as I walked over to my closet and showed my clean toys, putting aside the ones I had not cleaned yet. Amber lumbered over on Reggie before getting up, and she grabbed a Strap-on with an eight-inch cock and started to slip it on, and I smiled. "Oh, I am going to love this," I said as I grabbed a condom, and we both glared down at Reggie, who gulped. I pushed aside my dress, and he looked surprised at the fat cock in his face now. "Time to lube up, Reggie; we are going to take you for a ride," I said, and I pushed his head onto the bed with my cock throbbing before i shoved it into his mouth with a moan, and Amber chuckled. "Work a load out of your Mistress, Reggie; your queen demands it!" She shouted, and then I saw his eyes widen. I looked back, and I saw Amber''s foot directly pressing against his balls, and his throat tightened up. Then I remembered our conversation and her enjoyment of CBT, and I grinned, and my cock throbbed. So Reggie was into cock and ball torture. My cock was deep in his throat, and he could take it deep and I started to fuck it hard before pulling out to let him breathe, and Amber chuckled. "You can go longer; he loves being choked to the brink," Amber commented, then her foot came down on his balls again, and both Amber and I pulled him up onto the bed, and I took his front, making him suck on my cock as I fucked his throat while I got to watch Amber squeeze his balls. I watched as she slapped them as I fucked his throat, and he tightened up on me, and I welcomed it with increasing the harshness of my thrusts. Reggie could take a large cock, and I was quickly reaching my peak, and I shoved my cock deep to release my load. I moaned and shivered as Amber was fingering his asshole while squeezing his nuts. My body shuddered as I watched the ball torture, but the bitch under me had just made me cum making me moan loudly. "Mmmm, What an average cock sucker," I rated his blowjobs, "He needs to learn there is more to it than just a deep throat and needs to use his tongue more," I continued with my feedback, "How''s his eating out game?" "Marginal, he is better at being a place to vent your feelings than to actually please you," Amber replied and got up on the bed, avoiding the cameras and kicking him hard. Reggie jumped on the bed covering his balls, and Amber chuckled, "Really good for a release; hmm," Amber looked at me and licked her lips, looking at my cock, "This Queen wants to be filled as I fuck a little twink," She stated her want, and my cock throbbed, and I smiled. "I see no reason to deny that," I replied and watched as Reggies Sadistic queen stepped on his cock, walking over him. I flipped him over, and she lubed up her strap-on after putting on the condom and unzipping her latex outfit and opened up her pussy to me while the strap-on straps tied it to her around her pussy instead of over it. Amber spread his asscheeks and chuckled as Reggie moaned, and she spread her legs as I came up with my throbbing raw cock looking at Amber''s delicious pussy. To be honest, I was not being very dominant today. I was not in a submissive or dominant mood and was going with the flow of the night. Amber was a beautiful woman, but I was not putting on my best performance as she started to thrust into him, making him moan as I watched for a moment. I moved in, and I shoved my cock into Amber, and Reggie''s Queen loudly moaned at my sudden invasion, and I started to fuck Reggie through Amber. It was amazing, and the sex was good as we all started to enjoy each other. And I released a load in both Reggie and a couple in Amber. It was a great night, but I stopped the sex as they got ready for round five, and I smiled wryly. "Sorry, Amber," I said, not even acknowledging the Masochist, "I have to sleepstream and need to clean up. I also have to play in the morning and need some sleep. I hate that I am canceling all of this, but I have to. I liked playing with you tonight, and want to do this again." "That is okay; I forgot about your time limit since you did not set a hard one." She smirked at the poor pun, "I am done with Reggie anyways," She turned to Reggie, "Get the fuck out and go home till I call you for whatever relief I feel like, Reggie." She snapped, and Reggie got up and left the room, picking up his clothes as he left. Amber closed the distance to me, and we kissed. I lost myself in her lips and felt like she had lost herself in mine. When the kiss broke, she smiled, "I will text you every day till you let me come over, or we can date. I will tell you when I start Galaxy Online myself. Goodnight, Mistress Honey." Amber turned and walked out of my bedroom like a queen, leaving me to clean up, and I laughed. I walked out with her and locked up after she left, looking at me one more time, and we kissed once at the door before she really departed. Alone again, I cleaned up the cameras and my bed, setting it up for sleep while thinking I felt off my game the entire night. The sex felt awkward, and I felt awkward and like a schoolgirl. I liked Amber, but I needed to be more myself around her instead of some wishy-washy dipshit like I was tonight. I am used to being more Decisive like her, and frankly, I liked that about her. I think tonight might not have been the best impression I could have put forward, but I was not going to dwell on it. I ensured that things were ready, then I checked out the vote, went to my closet and put on a purple body suit before powering everything up. I did not give the pervs long to talk to me as I told them I was feeling exhausted, and I got in bed. It took me all of five seconds to pass out. My dreams seemed to be full of Amber. Chapter 82: Dedicated Learning Waking up, I stretched and purred as I thought about last night and blushed. I could not believe how I acted and felt like an idiot. But instead of dwelling on it, I just blushed and knew I would be too busy in the coming days. Amber said something important to me last night, and I was already partially doing it, but I could go further. There was much I could learn on the internet, and I wondered if I could find out how to track on the internet. I looked over to chat and gave everyone a good morning as many usernames fled. They always fled once I was awake and just wanted to see me sleeping. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the chat screen. I got a couple of questions about why I started streaming late. "Oh, I was on a date with a hot woman last night," I admitted and grinned. In fact, that was where I was the other night, too, having fun with the same woman as last night. But I am going to have a very busy schedule for the game coming up, so I should be on time in the coming weeks." Chat was being blasted by over a couple of hundred chats asking for more information, and some condemned a woman-on-woman relationship, which I thought was rich. I wonder if I could argue them into apoplexy if I debated them as an Intersex. Which gender was it natural for me to date? I chuckled, thinking about the past arguments I had with some of those people. They were never happy by the end of it. I was one of those unquestionable exceptions to their logic, and no matter how much they argued, my natural existence was a thumb in their eye, and I could talk circles around them with ease. Instead of paying attention to chat, I moved and turned the camera to the computer steaming set up and smiled. "Hey everyone, as I know you ladies like to watch over me too," although that was a small part of my audience. "I am sorry for my lateness over the last couple of days. I will inform you all that I will be going into hardcore gaming training mode. What does that mean for the Stream?" I asked myself, continuing to ignore the chat, "That means that I am going to be on time! I am going to put up three votes in the coming day. It will be for each day in the next week or so, as I will be hardcore game!" I smiled, looking into the camera, "You can vote on the type of outfit I will wear; it will be Loose, Tight, Baggy, Sensual, and Casual. These are the categories of what I will wear; I have a tonne of lingerie that will be within TOS of the site, so you can pick out of these categories." I smiled, knowing the first selection would be sensual, "Each day will have these votes refreshed with the normal rules as I will be too into the zone to engage much with everyone beyond the morning greeting. Then, there will be a color vote. Dark, neutral, flamboyant, Bright, and Dim. Then, as the final one, I will finally do as a request that many have asked for in the past," I sighed deeply; I needed something to keep people coming back as I did not engage or even enticed more, "I Will for the duration of my hardcore gaming put on a last vote for what I will wear on my legs. The vote will be between Latex, Nylon, Classic, bare, and matching. You can figure out what those will mean by voting for them and putting me in it. Now I am going and done with you all for the next couple of weeks. I will see you all at the other end." I ended my stream and put up the vote and saw that people were going crazy, so I increased the price of the socks vote with a sneer. Foot fetish people were going to go crazy onto my stream, and I knew it. They would duke it out, and I did not want to interact with them. The price to put in a vote was ten dollars now, and by the time I finished putting in the settings for the votes, I already had fifteen votes, making me gawk. Did I have more Sleepstream fans than I knew? I shook my head and smiled as I turned off the cameras and stretched. I left my computer on but took off my clothes and headed into the shower to clean up the sex and sweat on my body. I probably performed badly last night, but that was because my mood was such a bad one for me sexually. I only performed well in a dominant mood or a Submissive mood. I hated to show that side of myself early. I slapped myself and shook my head, getting rid of the distracting thoughts. Amber told me something, and I needed to follow through. I was going to look up tracking tutorials, and I was about to start learning. I would also look into putting on scope modifications onto my guns to see if I did it right. My plan was for the next four in-game days; I would practice, I would try to get some basic foresting skills, and try to see if it worked. I took a deep breath and almost coughed. I inhaled a bit of water stupidly and forgot I was in the shower. I shook my head and got my head in the game. I quickly finished washing, got into my morning routine, and ate before putting on a wife beater and some yoga pants. I sat at my computer, hunting down the videos and tutorials I wanted to learn. Even looked into the comments to see if people were calling it bullshit. Quickly, I found myself diving down a bunch of tutorials, some less reputable than others, till I ended up on this guy''s channel. He was called the GunNuttingSpecialist, and the viewer count was low. But I looked at the reviews of his work and saw some big names that endorsed these gun videos, and they were all very long videos. I started to watch them and quickly found out why he was not very watched. HE WAS BORING! But he was very informative and started going over things slowly, as the comments said he would. This was for an assault rifle and putting on a scope, and he was very detailed with everything, including why you were supposed to do what he was doing. So I watched and learned as best as I could as a visual learner, and I wished that in Canada, I could buy an assault rifle so I could work with him as he showed me everything. For an hour, I lost myself in his video and subscribed, giving him a like and commenting that I liked his work. Then I hopped into the pod, logging in and grabbing my things. After watching the video, I realized I got a couple of things wrong, so I got to work on it. I took my time and made sure I was doing things right. It took me over an hour, but I thought I might have it right, so I logged back out and watched another video for snipers, and I got to work. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. My day turned into me hopping into the pod and out working on replicating what I saw in the videos before I could test range it. I would have to ensure that everything was lined up before I took it for a spin and that I was willing to leave the cave. A day passed in the cave before I started to look out the crack and tried to spot anything with thermal vision. I ensured it was the night before I started to check my gun range. I allocated a clip, and my ears were flat as I took shot after shot with my assault rifle till I believed I had it ranged with a makeshift target. Then I took some time and finally went outside and set one up where I could take some shots from the other cave where the criminals were doing. My sniper was much louder, but I did not want to give my main base away, so I got to work. Ranging my sniper took two clips and a bit longer than I cared to admit because of an error in my craft. But I learned, and I fixed things up. This was all about learning, and I made sure to check around with my thermal scope before heading back into my cavern. With my guns all upgraded and ranged to shoot accurately, it was time to learn how to find my opposition. I logged out and started to look into how to track videos. These were much harder to find, and many were calling the others bullshit and various things. It took me a few hours till I found a creator who was making tracking videos that seemed really legitimate. The camera work was shit, but she always made sure to point out what she was talking about. The comments praised her a lot, and I found my hunter''s site that recommended her, unlike many other creators. So, I decided she was probably the one I should work off of. Her content tag was TheTrackingHuntress, which I also liked, if I was being honest. So I got to work and watched her videos, which she said were for amateurs looking to learn how to track animals. No one was looking into how to track humans because it would be easier to learn how to track animals, which I thought made sense. If you can track a deer, what stops you from tracking a human? I got into it and watched more than I probably should have before I finally logged back into the game with a full head and looked out the crack as I munched on some food. It was morning in the forest, and I looked everywhere for some sign of activity. With nothing again, I loaded up with more supplies just in case and extra magazines. Now, it was time to learn to track, and it could only be done in hostile territory. I loaded up with all my guns and a couple of grenades. I headed into the forest, where I remembered the criminals coming in. I found tracks and various things the content creator pointed out and what they meant. Then I found some tracks of an animal that seemed more recent as if what the huntress had said was true. With a large smile, I got into things even more and started to find more and more things that could mean one thing or another. After hours, I came up empty and returned to the cavern, believing I had learned a lot, and logged out. It had only been two days, but I was exhausted, and it was night in real life because of all the video watching. I cleaned up one in the real world, ate dinner, and found out what my stream voted on. I smiled brightly as the vote came up to record numbers. Honestly, I made rent with just this vote, which was amazing. It seemed I had made more profit this month than I had in the previous three. I hoped it was because I was more popular and not a one-and-done thing. Tonight was loose and dark with Nylon for the foot fetish community. I got into my closet and was having a little trouble matching everything, but I got it. It took out a black babydoll for the top and a garter belt to hold up the tight nylon stockings for my legs. It was loose lingerie, and everything came up nice. The nylon stockings even matched the baby doll colors, and everything was lovingly just out of sight with panties meant to assist me with that so I would not get TOSed. With that, I started the stream and went to bed. Waking up the next day, I instantly turned things off after resetting the vote and got to work. For days, I worked on tracking, More tracking, and learning how to damn well track in that damn forest. I spent more and more time in the game than outside as I tried to learn, and I finally started to find the animals in this forest. I quickly began to realize why I had seen so few; they were incredibly skittish. They ran before I could get in sight of them most of the time. It took another entire day before I felt I could reliably track animals down in this damn forest, and I had a smile on my face. I was tempted to kill a predator for sport to change up my diet a bit and practice skinning and butchering. It was something that I thought might come in handy in the future as a bounty hunter, and frankly, I WAS HAVING A LOT OF FUN! Being a huntress was actually really fun. I was enjoying the hell out of learning to track and the dopamine rush as I found the animals that I was tracking as massive. Learning the area around my valley was a lot of fun, and I was starting to no longer feel overwhelmed by the forest, which I never even realized I was. I was starting to use my ears more to track animals and be able to sneak up on them and even localize a bit more when I heard noises. My ears in this game were incredibly sensitive, and I barely even understood what that meant until I was in the forest. Finally, I found a leopard-looking animal with dark blue fur and purple spots, and I snuck up on the predator. My assault rifle was in my hands, and I took my time lining up the shot, moving slowly. I was downwind from it and heard it breathing steadily with my ears. I was just a couple of meters away and lined the shot up. I grinned as my finger pulled the trigger. A single shot came out and hit the animal in the head, and it instantly went down. The elation I felt after killing it was massive, and I heard multiple notifications as I killed the animal. ¡ª- New Trait - Huntress Stalking your prey quietly and without a sound, you listen to them breathe and pull the trigger, killing them before they know you are there. ¡ª- ¡ª- New Trait - Novice Tracker The world records every footstep, and you are one of the many who have started to learn how to read these tracks. ¡ª- I grinned at the two new traits, and I went to grab the animal. I picked it up and started the trek back to the valley with the carcass on my pack. The animal was at least twenty-five kilos, and it weighed with everything, slowing down my progress back. I took my time and decided to be as stealthy as possible on my trek back with the heavy load. I am sure it would be a useful skill in this game, and practice was the only way to do it. I moved, dodging things that would make noise, enjoying it as a little minigame. It took time, but I was starting to love this ultra-realism. I would never have tried to learn these things if it had not been for this level of realism, and I was happy with it. I also wanted to see if I could apply this to real life. However, I would have to ensure I was more in shape before I did. I smiled as I started to see the marks of my traps, and I stepped around and over some as I finally would be able to rest. Still, I watched my approach and ensured I made as little noise as possible as I was getting closer to the Valley; I was only a couple of feet from the edge when I heard something loudly snap in front of me to my right. My head snapped up, and I looked at my ears twitching. "Damnit, Daniels," I heard a voice say in a voice slightly lower than normal. It was like the guy wanted to be quiet but wanted to yell even more. "I swear, before the government gets you, I will if you don''t quit being a dick. I heard that Rogers gang lost a group around here." The sudden voices made me freeze, and then I heard a curse and pain coming from the same direction, which was the Valley. I froze and realized that while I had been out, someone might have moved in. I turned to put the carcass down near a trap. I hoped it would not get snatched by an animal, but I expected that whatever was about to happen, it wouldn''t. This animal had been a practice and learning animal. Now, it was time for the exam, and I found myself looking forward to trying it out as I got ready to hunt. Chapter 83: Novice Ambusher My ears twitched, and I opened my bag, set it aside, and ensured I had a couple of extra magazines, frags, and flash grenades ready to party. I was coming back in as the sun was setting, and tracking in the day was much easier than at night. One of the things I had planned to start learning was to find those same tracks during the day as I could at night. It was a skill that I also wanted to pick up. I grinned and got my goggles ready, but it was not quite time yet. Attacking as night fell would be the most ideal, and my scopes were not meant for the night more than a day. Although, with infrared, it was not too bad as the leaves really did limit how much sun came and heated the ground. Still, the night was better for multiple reasons, and for now, I wanted to scout. Slowly, after putting my pack a small distance from my hunt, I got lower, and my eyes settled on a footprint that looked really recent. I slowly moved toward a spot where I could look around a tree, where I heard someone breathing. I saw it, then a Dark green-skinned person looking away from me. I slowly got to the ground and noticed that the tree he was near had a mark. They were about to walk into a trap I set. I lowered myself prone and started to crawl into the underbrush. I grinned as I saw my trap. It was one of my simpler ones meant to inflict pain and injury. I wished I had some time to scrounge and pick up something to break up the human outline like I did the other nights, but I think optimal attack time was about to come as I brought my gun up and was just settling in watching as the guy stepped forward and tripped my trap. I could not believe how fast things were happening as I watched the loose stick holding back the spike break and swing a sharpened stick straight into the person''s ankle. A sharp scream of pain as I saw the stick go through their ankle, skewering them. They dropped their gun, and I heard increased movement. ¡°What is happening!?¡± I heard three different people call out as they started to come up to the person whose ankle was destroyed. Looking down the infrared scope, I watched as they broke through the trees from just beyond them. Five people just walked into my scope, and I watched, waiting for the perfect moment. ¡°Dale, Are you okay?¡± One of them asked, moving forward. ¡°FUCK~! Something got me, man, fucking hurts; it went through my damn ankle!¡± ¡°Fuck, How bad is it?¡± A third one came up, and one was behind the tree, and the other was a bit far. ¡°Fuck, this is bad; he needs serious medical help; without sending him out of the forest to be enslaved to get the treatment, we can only pay that crazy bitch back,¡± The third one continued to talk for a second, their voice feminine but I did not care as my smile was shark-like as I had three key points. First, they are bounties, not bounty hunters. Second, they are all in range, with a single sweep of my assault rifle and one rapid fire. Third, they would be completely surprised. My thumb turned my assault rifle to rapid fire, and my finger was already on the trigger as I aimed at the guy who was the hardest to hit; my finger pulled the trigger as my ears flattened against my head, muffling the noise as my gun began to kill. The surprise was complete, and my first shot blew a hole in the chest of the person I was aiming at, and I swept from left to right. The rifle kicked against my shoulder as I watched all of their eyes widen, and the last person talking reacted the fastest, leaping away and dropping to the ground as I swept the rest of them, tearing new holes into their bodies. Blood splattered, and screams erupted, and I heard a notification as those screams died. ¡°I SURRENDER, I SURRENDER!¡± was yelled from the one eating dirt as I killed the other four. I stopped pulling the trigger, and my ears perked up. ¡°Please, Don''t kill me; I don''t want to die in this hell hole. Please,¡± I heard the woman sobbing. ¡°Shut the fuck up,¡± My voice snapped, ¡°If you want to live.¡± The woman shut up instantly, and I listened. I heard nothing¡ªno birds or animals, only insects, which had been true whenever I shot my gun. I did not hear anyone coming from anywhere, but I was still hidden and still had half my magazine. ¡°If you want to live, you will answer my questions; first, how many are in your group?¡± I said. ¡°Five, including me. We were all here when you started shooting.¡± I doubted that, but I did not hear any more. ¡°What crime did you commit?¡± ¡°Larsony of more than a hundred thousand credits in value,¡± She sobbed. That was the most tame crime I have heard. ¡°I will be able to check your bounty,¡± I added, and she sobbed more. ¡°A was found criminally liable for the death of an elderly woman because I did not know that if I cut power, they would die.¡± ¡°So murder.¡± ¡°Accidental murder, but enough that I did not want to take on the sentence. I went through too much to be a medical assistant! Fuck, I hate it.¡± If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ¡°Shut up,¡± I snapped, and she started to sob in the dirt. I slowly got up, not hearing anything around us, and I moved closer and found the woman. When she bit the dirt, her rifle was a foot or two away as she jumped, and I pushed the barrel of my gun against her head as I looked her over. She was a green-skinned person, too, like the other person I noticed, and she had a large backpack. I frowned as she sobbed, and now was the moment. ¡°You will follow my orders exactly; if you deviate, I will ensure you are dead. I might not even be able to collect the bounty because your head will smash to bits,¡± I told her, and I stepped back, ¡°You are to stand up slowly; your hands will not exit my vision, and after pushing yourself up onto your knees, you will have your hands above your head before moving from your knees into a standing position.¡± The woman put her hands into a push-up fashion, pushed up from the ground onto her knees, put her hands above her head, and followed my instructions exactly. She was trembling, and I ordered her to slowly turn around. As she did so, an attractive green face came into my vision despite her being dirty from eating dirt in that dive. ¡°Now, do you still have a weapon on you? Tell me now, or I will make your life worse. The more you tell me the truth, the better you will be later.¡± ¡°I- I have a handgun in the back of my pants and on my right calf.¡± What began as me slowly disarming her after switching to my handgun. It took time, but I had her take off her pack, and I needed to get the capture collar from my bag. It took over an hour in total before I walked her back to my bag, and finally, I put her in a collar and did the orders to disarm her from hurting me. Then I got back to looking at all of their things. I started to ask questions again: ¡°Do not lie to me. What is your name?¡± ¡°Ka¡¯ Tar.¡± She sobbed ¡°What were you doing out here?¡± I asked. ¡°The main prisoner area here in Saints Forest needs goods and supplies. That small group and I are looking for something to sell. If we run into another group of criminals, we might kill them if they are solos. If we find bounty hunters, we kill them. We scavenge for mushrooms and edible plants and find meat to eat. Anything really that can sell does not matter,¡± Ka¡¯ Tar replied. That made sense, and I pulled up the carcass I got, ¡°What is this animal? How much is it worth?¡± I asked. ¡°That is one of the Ringlung, native to this planet, which means Tree Hopper; they are one of the main predators in this forest. If they catch you off guard, they will kill you. They climb trees and then hop on top of their prey. They are one of the best meats we have in this forest,¡± Ka¡¯ Tar said as I checked out the valley. I needed to make it to base camp to get the tablet to collect the bounties. I pushed the green woman into the valley after figuring no one was there after a quick check. ¡°So, what about them are valuable?¡± I asked Ka¡¯ Tar while keeping a lookout as we crossed the valley. ¡°Almost everything. The criminals around here are remarkably low on foodstuffs, and we scavenge a lot from the Bounty Hunters. Without bounty hunters coming in to hunt the criminals, we probably would have starved. Then again, there is a lot of food in the forest, too, but we are also not savages and want the little things Bounty Hunters bring.¡± That made a sick sense. If they were ignored, they would slowly decrease in technology until they had only old guns and what new criminals brought in. I pursed my lips and started to ask other questions about various things in the forest. As we finally made it to the giant stairs, I brought her up into the cavern and unloaded the load. Then, I went back out to take pictures of the dead bodies before forcing the woman to dig a hole for them. I felt like I was making these NPCs do something pretty horrific if you thought about it too much. Seriously, Each time I did it I bet they had to think that they might be digging their own grave. Unfortunately for them, that did not matter to me at this point. I needed to get things done and these people had a bounty on them for a reason. Speaking of which. I checked my notification as I took a picture of my captured bounty. ¡ª New Trait Unlocked - Novice Ambusher. You remain unseen till the most optimal moment before letting death spread among your enemies. ¡ª- ¡ª Bounty: Ka¡¯ Tar Hobble Race: Goblin Human Crimes: Grand Theft, Murder of the Elderly Affiliation: N/A Federation Bounty: 5000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Has a medical degree and finished top of their class. Unknown if this matters as they have no work experience. ¡ª So Ka¡¯ Tar did not lie to me, which is interesting. The fact that she is a medical assistant might be good for Nyava. If I want to grow my Corporation, I would need more medical personnel at some point, and a slave medical assistant might be good. It was something that I would have to think about. It''s not like I would be losing much money compared to some of the other bounties I encountered in this forest. Before I headed out, I remembered that blood inside an animal was not what you wanted before you started to butcher it. So I took a container, and I took some time to string up the carcass and cut open the neck, and blood started to flow into the container. After that, I took her back outside and started the gruesome cleanup. Instead, I made her dig a hole in the forest instead of the cave. I did not want to lug the bodies back to the camp. Honestly, after taking pictures of Ka¡¯Tar¡¯s group, I realized all of them were small potatoes. Each was worth around five thousand credits, if not less. In total, they were worth nineteen thousand five hundred credits. The payday for them was not even one of the previous groups. As I made her do, it turned to night. Once we were done scavenging for everything, I brought her back to the cave and let her eat before putting her into the prison. Now, it was time to learn how to butcher and skin. It was going to be messy, but I wanted to see if I would enjoy it. I think I might be in a learning craze. Chapter 84: Finding Camp The process of butchering was much harder than I thought, and some of the videos almost made me retch. I still went at it because I thought learning it would be a good thing. This is not because PVP played later but because I think cooking in this game would have benefits that other games typically had in the Mass multiplayer games in the days of old. Small buffs to powerful buffs, depending on the skill. Butchering and various other things may become useful later, maybe in making armor when reaching a higher level. Imagine killing a large monster and skinning it for armor that could be stronger than most synthetic materials. Maybe that was a thing. Maybe not; no one knew except the developers at Gaben Corporation, and their lips were sealed. None of the employees leaked anything; the only information was from other players. Still, it took a whole day of me logging off and on, leaving my new bounty in their cell. I logged off and ate something before getting something bright, colorful, and tight. I had my pansexual flag latex outfit that was just in the colors. I wore that to bed, and the outline of my body seemed to be bringing more people into my sleep stream. Without engaging with them, I got up and shut down the stream before getting back to work. I took some time to work out before showering and logging back in after being harsh on my body. I got in, and I started to go over cleaning up and feeding Ka'' Tar before I went back outside and decided that I should hunt one more animal and butcher it before cooking. Then, I would interrogate Ka'' Tar about the possible gang location for the Unique Quest. What I did not expect after checking if the coast was clear and heading out into the jungle again was how much easier it felt to track things. It was like my sight automatically started to look for the signs after the last couple of days of looking out for them. Sure, not all of them were right or new, but I felt like I could see more than just the colors of the forest. Foliage and mold had a use other than being something in my eyes. There was information to be read as I walked in the forest, and I found it easier to navigate through it. I never expected to get these things when doing this tracking. Soon, I found a beast that was thick in the center and with four tusk-looking things on the front, almost like a boar. It was digging at something. I decided to wait, and I lay in ambush. Suddenly, something came out of the ground, and the thing shook its body in triumph just before I put a bullet in where I assumed its heart was. The thing squealed in some hoarse pig squeal then dropped to the ground. What a disappointing hunt, but the hunting itself was the reason I was out here at this time. I decided to pick up the corpse, and whatever that thing was, that was, the pig or boar thing, it dug out of the ground. I put it in my pack, and I started to drag the heavy corpse back to camp. It took me about as long to hunt down this thing as it took me to carry it back, and I did the same as I did with the other beast, strung it up, and cut the neck to drain the blood before I got to work talking with Ka'' Tar. It took a bit of talking with her, but she happily gave out the details of where things were located in the forest. There were three major gangs, and it seemed the area I was in was contested territory in the forest. Many of the smaller groups have been in the area, although further west than I was because there were more animals in that direction to hunt. People seemed to be avoiding the area that I was in, and Ka'' Tar¡¯s group had been looking to try their luck in the area that was not as contested to see if there were bounty hunters. There was Me! The gangs did not really call themselves anything. There was the Eastern Gang, headed by a boss who had a lot of influence around Saints Forest. The other gangs often traded with the eastern gang. Then, there were the northern and western gangs. These gangs were the main reason it was unprofitable to clean the forest. They lead the criminal town in the middle of the forest, but they also have a series of tunnels in the parts of the forest. They would be so entrenched that it would take a full complement of marines to clean them out. Basically, the reason was that they were lazy and that the three forests on this planet actually were an economic benefit. Bounty Hunters would visit the planet to get slaves in the forests and to train their skills. Many would die, leaving their things to the planetary government. In Death Forest, the most dangerous of the three Bounty hunters have died and left Space ships for them to collect from them. That made a lot more sense, and I was surprised by Ka'' Tar¡¯s depth of knowledge. When I asked about it, she sneered, ¡°I have lived on this damn planet my whole life. I went to school to try and live a better life, but I lost everything just before I achieved my dreams. I know the political situation better than most.¡± I shrugged, and I decided to get started. I contemplated what to do with Ka¡¯ Tar and I smiled as I decided, and I tossed in enough food for five days. ¡°Ration your food; I am headed out.¡± I told her, ¡°I should be back in a day or two, and there is enough food for five days. Eat all of it in a short time, and I will not be happy.¡± With that, I left her alone in the cavern after loading up a backpack and bringing my guns along. I locked her up, and I headed out, knowing the grim reality of her fate if I died out there. I did not plan to, but that would not be my problem if I did. I walked out into the valley once more after checking the clearing, and I was on the southeastern side of the forest. I took my tablet with me, and I started to head north. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Now, it was time to expand my area, and I started to trek out and mark some trees along the way in case I got lost. I used a simple symbol that pointed in the exact opposite direction from the valley. It was a stupid pathing system, but it was better than nothing. I started in the morning and headed out with all my night gear, hoping to reach my destination at night. I wanted to find the eastern gang, and I continued to trek, looking for signs of people until I came across something. I found tracks of a large group of more than ten heading toward the valley I came from. The tracks were days old, and I smiled brightly and started to follow them the way they came. To be honest, I did not understand why I did not look for something like this from the Valley out into the deeper forest, but that is on me. I was still learning and enjoying the experience of learning everything. Following these tracks was much easier than following animal tracks in this purple and blue landscape, and I decided at some point to stop and start to cover myself with foliage. I wanted to blend in, and no matter what, I planned to hide most of the time. It took time to make my guns look dirty on the outside and tie some branches and leaves to my rifles in a way that did not block my scope or anything. Once I was done, I was heading again deeper into the forest. Hours later, I moved through the forest and wondered what Gabin Corporation thought about these types of battles that would happen in PVP in the future. I wondered if they would have PVE battles, too. That would be interesting. We could compete to kill some massive raid boss together. My mind seemed to wander as I continued to scope out their tracks, and the day started to turn dark in the forest. And I stopped to eat and realized that my character was starting to get tired. I decided to press on as I knew the SleepyWonder could be up for a lot longer. I wondered if there would be stamina in the main universe as this felt like real life. You could stay up for three days straight, but you would be better off not doing that. Darkness settled over the forest, and I continued following the obvious tracks for hours till I found signs of a camp. It was an old one, and there was trash left around. I signed and decided if this was a good spot for them, it would be for me, too. I wanted to sleep in the trees but could not find a good one nearby. So I layered up with what I had tied it close, laid it in the underbrush, and passed out. When I awoke, I felt much more refreshed after trekking for a day, and I looked over myself, checking for any insects or pests. I found nothing, which was a relief even after stripping and taking my time to dress and put foliage on myself in even better condition. Then I started to head out, and it was only an hour later that I started to hear signs of people. Instantly, I got to the ground and started to map out my way to where I heard the signs of the camp. I moved, heard someone curse to my left, and rolled into the underbrush. This was my go-to way of hiding, and I pulled my feet up and winced as I felt a stick pressing against my breast as I saw a Human walk out. ¡°Boss has increased patrols all around Jav. Stop complaining about it, or the boss will hear.¡± I heard a man speak. ¡°You know this damn well sucks, and if you don''t tell him, then who will?¡± Another male voice snapped. ¡°Someone who damn well walks by! You haven''t shut the fuck up about it for hours. I know you want to plow that new gang member, but you are going to have to wait till you are off shift.¡± ¡°Why don''t the women damn well have to do rounds?¡± I heard him complain. ¡°Because they are better off letting our steam off. You know, I know, and the ladies know that it is better off this way. There is a third of them to all of us, and they willingly open their legs for us in return. You don''t get those fucking rapey eyes I have seen with the new prisoners. Seriously, Jav. You will get yourself in trouble if you keep it up. I don''t damn well mind because I like when they fight, but I also don''t damage the merchandise like you do.¡± ¡°Fuck you, but yeah, I guess your right,¡± I heard them as they walked by and felt vile in my throat at the casual rape talk and sneered. I would love nothing more than to firebomb this damn camp. It seemed that what Emma said was true. She opened her legs because she had to do so for these stains of conscious beings. I was surprised that this was a Gabin Corporation game, and then I remembered that we were dealing with bandits. These were the shit stains of society, and I nodded to myself and started to move forward when I heard them off. What started was a long crawl, and I counted the number of patrols walking around. There were five patrols, and they were circling something at a leisurely pace that took almost an hour to go around. That means every twelve minutes, there was a patrol walking around. They seemed to not really be expecting anything despite whatever their bosses were saying. Once inside their encirclement, I quickly found a large area cut into the forest. Instead of cutting the trees people were living in, they seemed to incorporate them into their designs. There was one massive building, and that seemed to be the central focus but not the most defended. That happened to be one with a bunch of solar panels aimed at a crack in the forest cover. This was the Eastern Gangs base, and with a massive amount of their power going to that one place, I highly suspected what was tracking anything coming in was that building sucking up power. Over twenty solar panels are hooked up to it, and all the other buildings need only one; I could see no exception. The question was, What was I going to do? I was in a thick foliage bush just past the edge of the camp. I was between the patrols and heard the general noise from the camp. It seemed that the numbers were more than I had been expecting. So I put aside my pack in my bushes slowly, settled in, looked through my scope, and started taking in as much information on the camp as possible before nightfall. It was scouting time, and I had to plan my attack perfectly. Chapter 85: Steady Hands Scoping out the camp was interesting. I never thought I would enjoy watching a camp for hours on end, thinking about possible attack vectors. The main thing that I wanted to hit was the machine. I noticed that there were over a dozen buildings that I could see. There were a lot of footpaths between buildings, but everything looked like it could be torn down quickly. I watched as the night started to bring in the darkness as I watched and I started to hear some drinking. Not far away, I heard some moaning of women and men enjoying each other''s bodies. Then again, the previous interaction with Emma made me think it might not be true. I watched as they started to drink, and I noticed that they brought out legit barrels with taps on them. They seemed to have some people with some brewing knowledge to release their stress. I heard a bunch of them partying in the distance, and the night dragged on. I heard screaming and cries of panic, with cries of joy, cheering, and jeering. There were a couple of patrols walking around me. My body felt a bit stiff as I remained as still as possible while watching. My quest was not quite specific on what to do, but I was only after the machine that allowed them to track bounty hunters coming into the forest. I found myself wishing I had some incendiary grenades to start some fires, but that would be stupid. Running for my life so far with this amount of underbush would not be good. Then again, I wondered how easy it would be to start a forest fire with this many criminals. They had alcohol¡­ Did that mean they have distilleries? If I remember correctly, Distilleries could easily blow up into a nice incendiary explosion for me. Maybe a couple of Molotovs would be good, and I could use things here to make it. The question was if I- As I was thinking about it, I noticed a chimney building that the barrels came from earlier when they were taking it for whatever party, and I had a sudden thought. Maybe I did not need to be very stealthy with everything. If I took the things off me that are breaking up my shape¡ªa lot of these pirates are humanoid, and I have seen humans¡ªI could blend in. I could blend in by flattening my ears and wrapping my tail around my waist like I have been. I would look like a patrol with my guns. The best part of all of this was that the building taking all that power was also where I suspected the distilleries were. If I worked things right and used a couple of frag grenades, I could flee the way I came and destroy everything, maybe even setting up a fire on my way out for them to handle. I grinned and realized one last thing: I might have to kill to do it. I needed evidence for the bounty office, so I would take pictures of the machine. I did not know if that would be enough, so if I saw something in the machine that looked like a flash drive or something, I would steal it. I winced at the precarious nature of this attack. It was all riding on a lot of fucking luck. But I felt that I could do it. There were a few wandering around now, and I had this nagging feeling. Now or never, Now or never. The party was in the distance, and the woman moaning and crying was in the distance, too. I did not like to think about the reason for the women crying, but that was beside the point. Feeling the urge to move, I waited for the patrol behind me. I listened to the conversation as they walked by as well just in case. ¡°-llow me to do that. But hey she is feisty in the sack. I wish that I did not pull up the patrol tonight.¡± ¡°Fuck, I heard that they are going to be sending some Harrow Herb in the next payment for information. Think about it: we are not going to be on rotation then. You know how those stupid whores get on Harrow Herb. You will have an even better time.¡± ¡°Bah, they get blissed out and take some of the fun. But you are also right; it will be a blast, haha.¡± ¡°Yeah, still miss the booze, though I am with you on that. I he-¡± They passed, and I felt gross from their conversation, but now was the time to strike, and I picked up my bag. I moved out of the bush and moved to the dark corners of the light. The makeshift lights they had around the place left massive dark areas, and the moon was not enough to compensate for that darkness. The distillery was the first building I was looking for, and it was a few buildings in. I had to pass three, but it was in a narrow corridor that I could see. Then I saw it. There was one person guarding it, and I thanked the heavens that I bought a silencer. There was only one guard, but they were bathed in light and looked bored as hell. I saw the woman leaning back against the wooden wall with a shotgun slung on her back. I froze as I heard a sudden noise from the other side of a makeshift building, and I was in that narrow corridor. ¡°Yi¡¯ Nar, I am not allowing you into the booze area. You know why so fuck off,¡± The woman with busty breasts and she pulled her shotgun off her back. A man strolled into my sight and hiccuped as he moved forward. Looked like a human from the back, but the orange tint on the woman made me think she might be a mixed human. ¡°Fifi, you are too much of a stick in the mud, Hic! I''m just looking for a tankard,¡± he complained. ¡°Then go to the party, as again, and I will shove my shotgun up your useless ass and shoot. Maybe there you can act as a useful fucking silencer.¡± ¡°Fuck you, I am going to the Hic! Party,¡± The man stumbled away. I was right about where their booze was, but the machine was more important. I wanted to check that out before I got into my plans. Honestly, it was stupid how easy this was sneaking around the camp. I moved around the building and gave the woman some space as she was in one of the most well-lit areas I had seen, and I moved west to where I saw all the solar panel wires leading, and it looked like the right place. The door was not open at the moment, but there was no guard at the door. Was it the wrong spot? No, I think it was the right spot. The absence of an outside sentry was because none of the gang members would probably raid the source of their income. So I decided quickly, grabbed my handgun, and double-checked the silencer. I had a full clip of armor piercers and a silencer rated to make this thing less than conversational in decimals. Honestly, My heart was beating wildly in my chest right now. The party was raging in the distance, and I was in the middle of their camp now with nothing of a plan but to fucking wing it. I was moving forward toward the door, but no one even saw me as I walked toward it. I had no idea if I would even hear if they sounded an alarm, and I heard my heart beating in my ears as I reached the door. I was too heavily armed to be anything but an intruder, and so when I opened the door, I still kept my gun down just to create another moment of confusion if there was someone on the other side. ¡°Do you see something on sector four?¡± I heard a man''s voice as I pulled open the door. ¡°Yeah, taxi spotted in sector four and parked at the edge. Clearly, bounty hunters. Noobs, too, I wonder what they will bring. The boss will want a group dispatched in the morning. At least they were smart enough to wait till nighttime. But damn,¡± I saw two men looking at computer screens, and I turned around, pulling the door closed behind me softly. I could only hear the sound of my heart thumping hard in my chest, and I brought my gun up, and neither of them noticed. They were doing their job, and I aimed at the one who was not talking first. I had no idea how they could not hear my heart thumping in my chest at this moment as it was deafening. I found the aim at his head and saw no one else in the room as they looked over their monitors. My finger stroked the trigger, and a loud PHHHST sounded as my handgun fired, stopping the man from talking. I could not hear what he said anymore as he looked concerned. As my gun slowly moved over to him, my aim seemed oddly rock steady, and the NPC looked at me just in time for my finger to pull the trigger. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. PHHHST, Blood splattered back away from the monitors, coating the tent behind him with brain matter as his skull shattered from the bullet. My hands were shaking, but I quickly got to work. I had no time to think too much. I had no idea if they were supposed to be here all night, but I moved toward those consoles; I grabbed the Bounty Hunter Tablet and had it boot up while I looked for things I could pull from the consoles. The whole thing was weird-looking. There were two monitor setups attached to a thick desk-like block with two indents. In between these ¡®desks,¡¯ there was a cylinder shape going up to the roof while wires were all leading into it. The thing did not make a fucking sound, but I did not doubt that this was the machine that Emma told me about. I grabbed the tablet, started taking pictures of it all over, and found a couple of booklets, which I decided to stuff into my backpack just in case. I grabbed a bunch of things, took pictures of it all, and sat down where the guy I just blew the brains out sat moments before. I had to toss the body aside, and it hit the floor a little hard. I looked around and noticed a blip in the monitors, but I had no idea what I was doing. There did not seem to be something for me to interact with, so I just doubled up the pictures, hoping this was enough evidence. Then something caught my eye, and I ducked below where your feet would go. I found something sticking out. I grabbed it and yanked it, and It came out. I ran around and found the same thing on the other side, and suddenly, the monitors shut down. ¡ª-- Quest Updated- Hunted Bounty Hunters You have collected evidence of a device tracking Bounty Hunters as they come into the forest. Bring the Evidence back to the Bounty Hunter Office to notify them of the risk. Potential Completion:
  1. Notify the Bounty Hunter Office
  1. Collect evidence for the Bounty Hunter Office if that information is true for a reward.
  1. Collect Evidence and destroy the device for the Hunter Office and receive a much larger reward.
Failure conditions: Death or someone else reports to the office before you. ¡ª-- I grinned, and I wondered now what to do. I had to figure out a way to give myself some time to blow this shit up, destroying it without giving away that I was here. I did not have time to do anything elaborate. So I quickly decided. Grabbing string from my backpack, I tied two frags up tight. The door pulled out, not in, so I strapped it to the Monitor set-ups and ensured that it would be tight. They would have two inches of clearance to cut the string before the pins were pulled, but I would have to finish making the trap outside the makeshift building. I took a breath, and I decided that worse comes to worse. It did not get destroyed, and I got rewards anyway. So I put my gun in my holster. I had the string in one hand, cut it to the length I thought I could do everything, and tied it into itself. My heart was beating in my ears again, and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack as I stepped out of the building into the nosey night. I had no idea how someone could be so stupid to leave their camp this open. I wrapped the string around the building, closed the door, and felt my heart harshly beating in my chest. I walked out, all while looking around with night vision goggles. I could not believe how lucky I had been. I moved toward my second objective. I wanted them panicking and making mistakes as I ran, and the booze was the best. I had flash bangs, and those were the most useful. I moved to where the woman guarding the building was. I noticed her as she laid back, but she was a bit more alert after that drunk fuck. But now, I walked forward, pulling my gun out, and loudly yawned. The woman looked toward me, but I was still in the darkness, pulling out my silenced gun, and my heart was thumping. I don''t know why I was doing it like this, and I said, ¡°Yi¡¯ Nar,¡± I said her name clumsily, ¡°I can take over,¡± I said, my voice sounding oddly exasperated to my own ears, and I saw her eyebrows scrunch even as I had a heart attack. My gun was pointed at her just as I came into vision, and her eyes widened, and her mouth opened. PHHHST. Red blossomed on her chest, cutting off what she wanted to say, but I was scared as she looked down. PHHHST, PHHHST. Two more shots, all center of mass, and she tumbled back and. I walked into the light, grabbed her body, and tried to open the door. But it did not open, and my heart beat harder and harder. They had a fucking lock for their booze but not their fucking money-making machine? How fucking stupid were these stupid fucks. I quickly started to pat down the woman and found the key in her cleavage. She was a typical woman in some regards on that, as I did that sometimes, too. Especially with cock cages. My hand was shaking, wasting moments as I tried to put it into the lock. Then I had it, and I unlocked the door and pulled the bitch into the building. There would be blood splatter outside, but I only needed a couple of moments. I looked around, and I grinned. Distilleries were at work, and I decided what I was going to do. I pulled out two flash bangs and a frag grenade, and I just left the door open. I pulled the pin on the flash grenades as I walked out and held the trigger device. The countdown had not started, and I turned and tossed both into the distilleries, and a moment later, I was pulling the frag out and tossing that inside a moment later. Then I turned, and I fucking ran. I put my handgun in the holster, and I got my hands on the handle of my assault rifle. I didn''t give a fuck anymore. I had to fucking run because I had no goddamned idea how big the explosion was going to be, and every second counted. I only passed two makeshift buildings as I heard the partying continue, but then. BANG! BANG! I heard something fall over loudly, and my ears flattened against my head just at the right moment. BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt a hot shock wave behind me as I moved past a building and the shattering and splintering of a building. I had no time to look at the explosion as the shockwave of the explosion propelled me forward slightly, and much to my shock; I saw a large splinter in a building just to my right. If I had been a few fucking inches to my right, that would have impaled my character. Cold sweat met with raging hot sweat as I ran even faster. Seconds passed, and I heard curses and yells as the party came to an end. Then I saw two people shocked as the patrol was right before me, just stepping out of the trees, and my arms brought the gun up to my hip, and I did not bother to aim. I had the gun on rapid fire, and I just started to fucking shoot. My mind was basically running on adrenaline at this moment, and my heart was attacking my senses as my flat ears muted the world around me. Both of the patrol members were caught bringing up their guns as I swept my gun back and forth, and the silencer on my assault rifle muted the sound but did not eliminate it. I was face to face, stepping over their dead, broken bodies as guts and bleeding started to kill them. I unleashed my entire clip into them as I ran toward them and pulled my magazine out as I left their broken bodies behind me. My mind was on autopilot, and I noticed I was in a small clearing before the next tree. I looked back, and I saw the happiest sight. FIRE! Grinning, I continued to run. I let myself hear again, and I heard the screams and cursing as they started to fight the fire. They could not let it take out their base, and I heard them cursing as I pushed my way through the trees. Then something even better happened. BANG! BANG! I heard the sound of two grenades almost exploding at once, and subsequently, I got some notifications. I wanted to cheer, but instead. I FUCKING RAN! I jumped through bushes and past trees, and as I ran, I pushed a fresh magazine into my gun and continued to run till my lungs felt like they were going to burst, and I stopped. I pushed my side against a tree, coughed, and tried to control my breathing. My legs were burning, and I looked toward where I had just run from, but I could see nothing. I could hear no pursuit, so I pulled my backpack out and drank water, chugging it down my parched throat. I felt the urge to laugh. It was stupid, and I stifled it, but it escaped. ¡°Ha, Haha, Hahaha, Hahahaha, Oh, Fuck that was fucking stupid of me.¡± I started talking to myself before I even realized it. ¡°Hahahahaha, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, I need to cover up my tracks and get back. Oh, Shit, I can''t fucking believe I did it.¡± I rested my head against the tree for a moment, regaining my composure, and I took deep breaths trying to calm myself down. ¡°Can''t stay, need to go, need to get to safety. But I am fucking out of this forest. Fuck staying here any longer after this. I need out because they are going to be after me. I have enough time to make it back, pack my shit and go. Maybe not even that. But, Damn, do I feel fucking good,¡± I told myself, and I started to walk. I could not bring myself to sneak or cover my tracks. My lungs were burning, and my legs were sore, but I continued to walk and slowly recovered on the move. My adrenaline was pumping, and I was smiling. I felt good at this moment, on top of the damn world, and I could not believe what I just pulled off. Was it always going to be this easy? No, Fuck no, but I got lucky, and I knew that. Time to trek, I would save the notifications for when I was safe and recovered and could think more than just,¡± I CANT FUCKING BELEIVE WHAT I JUST DID.¡± Chapter 86: Rushing out It took time for me to recover, but I must have completely distracted the camp behind me with that fire. The subsequent explosion probably did its best to completely destroy cohesion at the end, and thankfully, the fire was not moving in my direction. Hell, The wind was to my face at the moment as I walked back, but that was good for anyone trying to track me. I decided that I was not even going to log out. I was taking my shit and running to the edge. As I walked toward my base, I had already lined up a call with the same people to pick me up and take me from there. I took some time and walked in areas where it would be harder to track me, but I would not slow down my hike. I was tired and sore, and the excitement of the battle wore off. The trek back was a day''s walk, and I noticed I ran for a bit in the wrong direction. I wanted to stop and look over my notifications but decided against it. I needed to be alert and watch out for predators and ambushes. My ears were up, and I was listening to the sounds of the forest and the insects. The forest was quiet. Walking all day, I heard nothing, and my sleep bar was close to bottoming out. But there was nothing that said you died when you were sleep-deprived, just like in real life. I continued moving, knowing I would need to take a break once I got out of this forest, only to recoup my real-life body before diving back into the game. My forced walk went through the night, and I took off my night vision goggles when the light came out. I watched and continued to walk. This was boring, but I also knew that I could be ambushed at any moment, fraying my nerves as I watched every tree at the same time. After hours and hours of hiking back, I finally started to notice my own markings for the area I was in and adjusted. I was going in the wrong direction a little and was too far east-facing, but not enough to matter too much. I started to walk past traps, and soon, without further incident, there was the Valley. I lay down and checked the area, but no one was there, and I sighed with relief. I wanted out of Saints Forest badly. I needed out and would find out how much I had made. I know I earned a good amount of federation credits after this one, but I would have to pay what I owe to the bounty office to get back into compliance with my previous missions, too. I found myself looking forward to Ura and Nyava. I did not know enough about Emily to really care, so I was hoping to take some time and learn about things inside the ship. I could not wait to learn more. Ever since Amber clued me in, I have been having a blast learning in the game. There was nothing in the valley either, and I was surprised as I got up and headed toward my cave without further incident. I yawned, feeling the forced march through the forest over the last day in order to stay ahead of the repercussions of the East Saints Forest gang. I did not want to get involved, and I took my time walking up into my cavern, which was still nicely stocked. I had a slight urge to leave some things here and continue, but I saw the captive in the makeshift prison and decided against it. I wondered if I came here in the main universe, would this be here? It was a question I had to ask myself, but with the smell from the machine slowly starting to come up, I did not wait. I took down the door and grinned at my captive, ¡°Come on, we are leaving. I pissed off a large group, and I do not want to be around for the fallout if they catch up.¡± The next moments were not much time in cleaning up the camp of my supplies and tools, and as we finished, I looked out into the valley and smiled. No one. All of this was going wonderfully, and I could not have asked for a better result. I took everything that I could with Ka¡¯ Tar and started to move. There was some cooking and various things that I did not take with me, and whoever found them in the future could have them. Then I looked at all the traps and grinned; whatever, I did not have time to disarm the traps, and I guided the criminal slave out with me. The Valley was quiet, and I started to move around traps with full backpacks. We were in a hurry and headed out of the forest. Ka¡¯ Tar was not happy, but I really did not give a fuck what she thought as I moved toward the edge of the forest. Walking in the forest with a heavy pack was annoying, but the sun came down as we reached the edge of the forest. Everything was going great, and I brought out my tablet and ordered the pick-up from the company. They dropped a waypoint, and it was a kilometer west. I put the tablet back into my bag and put on my night-vision goggles. I started to work my way there. It was going all to plan, and I did not like the feeling I had. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. This was a video game. In a Virtual reality world, this was not supposed to be so damn easy. I felt like there should be something to try to get me as we left. That was the feeling I had, and it was hard in my head. I reached a position not far away when I started to hear something. I was not sure what it was, but I heard something just above a whisper, and my skin got goosebumps. ¡°You will be quiet and wait for me,¡± I said, turning to Ka¡¯Tar. She nodded, but I Did not need her to. I got my assault rifle into the firing position and started to move forward. Then I heard it breathing ever so lightly. It was slow and cool, but the person was very close. I switched to my knife instead of my gun, and I started to look and follow my ears while trying to be quiet. Then, I noticed a drag mark in the dirt near some foliage. Found them. It was a foot sprawled out, and it was an ambush. I don''t know if they knew the position of where I was supposed to be picked up, but this was not quite there. They were off by a couple hundred feet and looking the wrong way. Actually, I don''t think this was for me as I crept up behind them and found their body. I looked down at the person; they were breathing slowly and waiting. I pulled out my handgun, aimed it at them, and contemplated what to do. Was this a bounty hunter or a criminal? I waited and watched as I thought about it. I could kill this person, but that did not mean I would get out ahead. This could have more people, and I bit my lip. Instead, I watched and waited, trying to quiet my breathing. Time was faster than I thought, and I started to hear the pickup. The person looked up as the Van to pick us up arrived. My gun met their temple a second later, and they froze as they were about to change position. ¡°Criminal?¡± I asked, my voice cold. ¡°I¡ªI am a bounty hunter?¡± the voice said, making it a question, and I winced. I did not have time for this. ¡°You have others here?¡± ¡°Yes, two more waiting for criminals to catch.¡± ¡°Awfully questionable decision for that. Tell your people to stand up and stand down without their guns, and I will let you live.¡± The person opened their mouth, but I shivered. Something in me just pulled the trigger. PHHHST, the gas of the silencer, was all that was heard in a short distance, and I froze. I did not care for the bounty; I just wanted to know if they heard my killing the guy. I reached down, picked up the gun, and smiled. 5mm rifle with a scope. It seemed Every one of the gangs here carried a 5mm, and I moved. When I got to Ka¡¯ Tar, my ears were straining to hear anything. ¡°Move to that Van, Go, Run.¡± I snapped my order to her, put away my handgun for my assault rifle, and started to chase after her. I could see the guy p[opening the door as he noticed us suddenly running from the forest toward him. He quickly jumped back inside as we started to reach the van. Then I heard it. BANG! I saw a bullet hit the van and the sound of a Richochet from the van. A second later, I heard another, but I made sure to turn to the side a little. The whistle passing by my right ear made me shiver even as I ran. The side door was wide open, and I dove inside and smashed into Ka¡¯ Tor inside. The Van lifted up into the air, and the door closed. ¡°DID YOU BRING ME INTO A BATTLEFIELD!¡± The Driver snapped. ¡°YOU FUCKING CHOSE THE LANDING POINT!¡± I snapped back as I put down my gun. ¡°There was a fucking ambush waiting here for us, and I killed one of them just before running here. Good thing, I think there were only two, but I think they picked up spots near the forest entrance before ambushing Bounty hunters as they entered the forest.¡± I looked at the man as he turned suddenly, and I was tossed into the passenger seat. ¡°Sit down. You never know if they have something that can shoot us out of the sky. I am not dying for a small pickup,¡± the guy turned, and I noticed his red skin as I grabbed the seat. He continued to fly back and forth. I held on tight as the collared slave in the back bounced around with my stuff. Finally, he stopped and sighed, ¡°We should be in the clear. We are two kilometers away from Saints Forest. The other Forests are much more common to try and shoot down pick-ups. I only brought this lorry because it was Saint''s forest. Now, Do you want to return to the office or our place to pick up your things?¡± I moved around the seat and sat down. ¡°I will pick up my stuff and have you guys help me bring it to the bounty office to offload,¡± I told him, feeling relief as I settled in. ¡°Perfect. I am glad you chose our company. We are also sorry we chose a bad location. It happens from time to time. We choose random unmarked locations to do stealth pick-ups and drop-offs, and sometimes you pick a bad location. The nature of randomness and the Criminals are incentivized to pick you off when you''re leaving or entering the forest.¡± ¡°I understand that,¡± I said, leaning back with feeling, and my eyes felt heavy. But not yer, no sleep for me yet and I found myself relaxing but making sure that if the driver attacked me. I would get the drop on him first. Chapter 87: Keeping and Selling The Van suddenly flew into a building high up, and I instantly got warehouse vibes as we entered. We moved into an Area with a large number ¡®BAY 127¡¯ across the wall, and to the side, there were boxes and, near to it, a large prison area where I could see the captured people. ¡°This is your rented area where we stored the loot and the things you got in Saint''s forest. Honestly, you are one of the few we got out of Saints Forest lately. But you can take your time to organize it and choose what you wish to leave with. We have Boxes you can use to store things and organize that are prefabricated with easy-to-remove foam for safe carrying for a few credits per box and a can of foam. All of that is located to the side over there,¡± The guy pointed it out, ¡°If you wish to leave loot, you can, and we will purchase it at a wholesale price. I will also be on call for you to deliver these wherever you wish to sell them.¡± The Driver said as the Van came to a stop and landed on the floor. The guy got out and headed toward a door near where we just came in, but on a different wall. There were cages and boxes. In each of the cages were the people that I had captured, including those who could not talk. All of them were in their own separate cages, and I smiled as I walked over to the bounty hunters. ¡°Hello, this is the first time we got to talk,¡± I said to the group of them with a bright smile, ¡°I am Sleepy Wonder, A Spaceship Guard Bounty Hunter. How are you all?¡± Sleepy Wonder, with their [mysterious aura and piercing eyes], stood before the group, their presence commanding attention. ¡°Tired. Thank you for capturing us instead of those criminals. I know you made us work and did not treat us like people all too much, but you still fed us and gave us water and security. We could not have asked for more in the circumstances, and I am not sure if we could have offered the same if the shoe was on the other foot,¡± The Half Wolf-kin Said, ¡°Not that we would not have wanted to, but because the place you found was truly amazing. I cannot believe you found such a place in the Saints Forest. Do you mind if we use that as a Staging ground in the future, possibly in our future bounty hunts?¡± ¡°I don''t see why not; I don''t really have any plans on coming back to the planet any time soon after this, although that could always change. I am only Guaranteeing that I am taking Emma, that enslaved person who gave me information with me. Who knows how the System will deal with the rest? If they somehow get out, they will tell others about that place. Also, I left my traps there and did not have time to take them with me as I was in a rush. So do not step on the moss. I would suggest slowly disarming my traps when you get a chance. I also left some gear there. Mostly, I could not carry away quality-of-life items in a rush. So,¡± I pointed out the boxes of loot, ¡°I took the valuable stuff and ran. So, I hope you have good luck in your future endeavors. I do plan to release you at the Bounty office, though, so I can get credit for saving you.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± The Half Wolf-kin said, ¡°We would be slaves without you, and we will go over the process with you. It will not help our reputation, but we will have our lives and freedom intact. I cannot ask for more.¡± ¡°Glad you agree with me,¡± I replied with a grin, ¡°Now, I need to go over my spoils and get them ready to go.¡± Honestly, I started to look through the boxes, and I decided to keep a large number of guns. Then, if I were going to keep the guns, I might as well keep the ammo, which meant that most of everything that I took was going to go back with me to the spaceship. I wanted to start learning how to modify my guns better, and having a bunch of trash guns I don''t care if I break would be insanely useful. I could use them for parts and various other things in the meantime. This was a large amount of things for me to process and get started learning things on the spaceship. I started to get that done, and I picked up everything and started to organize things into separate boxes. The final total of things that I was taking home was more than enough for me to start experimenting. I had Six Rifles, one of which was a sniper from the first night. All of these rifles took 5mm rounds, which was super useful for laying out traps at this point. 6 Rifles - 5mm 1 Sniper rifle -5mm 12 Assault Rifles - 5mm 3 Shotguns 19 Magazine Fed Handguns - 9mm 2 Revolvers - 5mm 1 Revolver - .45mm 4 Revolvers - .22mm That was a lot of guns, and the amount of ammo for the five millimeters was staggering. I was torn if I should keep it all, as my assault rifle was 5.62mm bullets. Then again, if I was keeping Emma, I would need to outfit her with a gun. That meant keeping some ammo for those. Then there was the various Ammo for the revolvers, and I decided that I should simplify things. I would keep the two revolvers that were meant to shoot the damn rifle rounds. Those were beasts, and the .22 rounds were handgun rounds like the Revolver that took the .45 rounds. It was useless to me as a solo gun. I would sell those away, and I would pack up the rest as for the rifles, assault rifles, shotguns, and magazine-fed handguns. They were going back with me. Packing them up in boxes took some time, and it took me a little bit to get the foam. I learned it was quite easy to use. It was also soft and easy to rip but squishy. It was perfect packing material, and I got to work quickly. I started putting guns into boxes and stacking them up in the truck to take with me. I would be delivering things to the Bounty office before I had these transported to the spaceship, which I forgot the name of. To be honest, I was looking forward to seeing Ura again and feeling her in bed. She was a great lover, and I wanted to have some fun with her. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. It took over an hour for me to pack up the various things and equipment that I brought back from the forest and to pack them neatly for transportation. I had twenty boxes in the end, and I was happy with everything. Then I remembered that I had Ka¡¯ Tar. She had medical schooling, and we could use her in the future. It was a decent find, and her bounty was not that high. I could keep her and lose little in the way of Federation Credits. That would take a phone call and lose the element of surprise. I pouted a little thinking about that, but instead, I pulled out my tablet and called up Ura, who answered instantly. ¡°Sleepy ~ Wonder!¡± Ura exclaimed happily. Grease was smeared on her face, and I could see her hair was a little disheveled. She was still in her tracksuit, although I could tell it was stained. ¡°Are you back into the city?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± I replied with a smile, ¡°I just got back and have spoils. Mostly, there were a lot of guns and some equipment, along with a lot of ammo. But I caught a couple of bounties, and I am already planning to keep one around. I think we can use her around the place or maybe as another hired gun. But there is another one that I think might be useful.¡± ¡°Oh? What is keeping you on the fence?¡± Ura asked curiously with a large smile as she looked at me. ¡°Medical, she apparently graduated from medical school but has no experience. If we plan on expanding, though,¡± I said, trailing off. Ura followed the thought and picked it up: ¡°And if we plan on Expanding, more medical expertise would be needed. I don''t think you talked to me about expanding, but let''s set that aside. I think Nyava, who has been at work making potions now, would be a better ask. We have yet to give her more freedom on communications, but I will put you through to medical. See you soon~!¡± ¡°See you soon~!¡± I replied with a smile, and the screen went blank for a moment. ¡°Medical!¡± I heard Nyava say a moment later, sounding a little distracted. ¡°Nyava, this is your Mistress calling. Are you busy?¡± I asked. ¡°NYAH~!¡± I heard something tip over, but there was no visual on my side. ¡°Nyah, Now I do. I just screwed up. Oh well, it was a cheap potion. No rare ingredients. Now, I am not busy, Mistress. How are you? How was the Saints Forest? Did you get good loot? Did anything interesting happen? Why are you calling?¡± The series of questions suddenly bombed me, reminding me that Nyava was a very fast talker. I could not help but smile a little but had to reply before she continued, ¡°Nyava, I am calling you because I am wondering if you would want an assistant. How useful would an assistant be?¡± ¡°An Assistant? Do they have training? Experience?¡± Nyava shot back instantly. I walked over to Ka¡¯ Tar, who was standing silently, ¡°What is your experience?¡± Ka¡¯ Tar diligently replied, ¡°Before I became a criminal, I had just finished Medical school. My experience is just residency and in-class surgeries.¡± ¡°Major? Minor? Certificates?¡± ¡°Surgery, Regenerative care, and I have Certificates in Regenerative biopsy and all the mainstream equipment.¡± Ka¡¯ Tar replied. ¡°Hmmm, Not bad. It''s better for me to teach after university than to waste time unteaching bad habits. Mistress, to be honest, there is not much for her to do up here at this time. I would spend most of my time teaching her while I work on potions. Her main field, though, is down to surgical and regenerative care, which are decently common medical fields found in hospitals. They are rarer in space because most choose that line of medicine because they want to stay on the planet. Space makes a terrible place to do surgery. Where you will usually find someone in her specialty is in Battleships and Up. Maybe Cargo Carriers, but they need to be at least a certain size in order to anticipate a certain amount of work for them. Regeneration pods are large devices. But with your bounty hunting, having a surgeon around would not be a bad idea. My potions are also a form of Regenerative care that she can start to practice and maybe study. Depends on her competency.¡± ¡°So you''re saying that she would be useful but not as useful as you because she is new and would not have much to do.¡± ¡°Exactly, Mistress! She has no experience, but if you are willing to overlook that and look at her as a long-term investment, you can turn her into someone more worth selling, or maybe you and Ura get a larger ship and need more medical staff. Either way, she would be trash in the short term and potentially useful in the long term. There is more I can say about it, but it would not really matter to you about the decision process.¡± ¡°Thank you, Nyava.¡± ¡°Looking forward to seeing you again, Mistress~! How was the-¡± I cut the connection because I could tell that she was about to continue asking me questions because I had never answered her earlier. I chuckled to myself as I thought of my dilemma and called over the guy from earlier. The Driver came back with a smile, ¡°Made your choices and packed up? See, you did not really leave anything for us.¡± ¡°Yup, I plan to tinker a lot and break these guns and equipment down to learn some things. Need to make even better guns in the future. Anyways, how does it work? Do I tell you who I am keeping here, and you park ¡®em in a different spot at the bounty office, or do you just drop me off with all of them?¡± ¡°The First, we can pack them all up. Who are you keeping, though?¡± the driver asked. ¡°Her, and Her,¡± I said, pointing at Emma and Ka¡¯ Tar. ¡°Those two are sticking with me. Those,¡± I said, pointing at the freed bounty hunters in cages, ¡°Are to be released once claimed, and they,¡± I said, pointing to the leftover captures, ¡°Are to be turned into the Bounty office for their bounty under my name.¡± ¡°Perfect. Let''s change their collars and get to the bounty office. Would you like delivery of your goods to another location after dropping things off at the office or not?¡± I could see his smile, and I chuckled. ¡°I will pay the fee for bringing us back to our final destination.¡± ¡°Perfect, Great doing business with you. I like customers like you. Just simple business, and no complaining. Trust me, we increase the fees for people complaining. Ever heard of the Princess tax?¡± ¡°Whats that?¡± ¡°For clients that are a fucking pain in our ass. Make those ones pay just for that if they want to keep using our service. It gets more expensive, and the bigger the pain they are. Even shows up as Princess fee, and if you hover over it for an explanation, it will say, ¡®For being a pain in our ass¡¯ so they cannot complain about it. Follows all the regulations, HAHA~!¡± he barked out a laugh, and we started to get everyone packed into the van as he talked. Not long later, we left an empty warehouse behind and were making our way to the bounty office. Chapter 88: Report I quickly learned that there was a separate entrance for dropping things off, and the Van quickly parked into a warehouse that was pretty loud. ¡°This is the drop-off for those being freed, turned in, and proper slave collars. You can take them in here. Do you want me to wait here, or do you have more formal bounties to turn in and would rather I wait out front?¡± The Driver asked. ¡°Out front, I do have something to tell them. But I do plan on keeping two as slaves.¡± I replied with a smile. ¡°Then I will wait here and then move to the front. Please be quick, as many people will probably be behind us.¡± ¡°Okay¡± I said as I quickly jumped out of the van with the Diver. I was in a loud warehouse with cages all over, and a young green woman with a large scar down her right eye came toward me with a large smile. She had armor on that fit her body but had protrusions out to break up the womanly shape to look less lewd. ¡°Hello, I am the Bouny Office Representative Telly,¡± Telly said with a smile, ¡°I am here to start the process of your bounties. Would you like to start immediately?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± I said as the Driver opened the door, and we started to get all the bounty hunters out. ¡°These are Bounty hunters that I saved in Saints Forest. I wasn''t sure of the procedure, but I obviously will not be keeping them slaves and wanted to free them in front of the Office to ensure no mix-ups.¡± ¡°Oh, what state did you get them in? Driver?¡± Telly said, turning to the Driver. ¡°We have a work order that the Bounty Hunter SleepyWonder paid for us to remove the collars on their necks that were rigged with explosives and mute functions. They were tethered to a laptop. She paid for them to get freed before bringing them here to follow up.¡± The Driver said, and Telly smiled. ¡°PERFECT~! I love it when people realize they have to do it here. They will have a small record that they were captured added to their file, and you will be reimbursed at a rate of five percent cut of their earnings from each of them till you are paid back one hundred and fifty percent of the money you spent freeing them. That is to incentivize people to free them. Unless you had a prior contract with them?¡± Telly finished with her question, ¡°Nope, I appreciate the information, though; I did not know I was just doing charity.¡± ¡°I appreciate that. We will have that paperwork done up quickly,¡± Telly said. She pulled out a Tablet from behind her and marked something down on it. Then, she turned to the bounty hunters. ¡°Please, all of you, go through those doors to be processed,¡± Telly said to the Bounty Hunters. They nodded and walked over, all smiling as they left the area. More shouting and cursing erupted at the freed bounty hunters, but they went silent a moment later when Telly pressed something on her tablet. ¡°Okay, now do you have bounties?¡± ¡°Yes, just a quick question: I mostly have recordings of killing a bunch of other bounty hunters. Do I turn them into you?¡± ¡°Absolutely. Please connect and open the file for me, and we will sync. I will have them sent to our review team. They are efficient. Do you have some that are just pictures of dead people?¡± ¡°Yes. Not all my battles were recorded, but I did take pictures before burying them.¡± ¡°More than that trash deserves, but you will be properly compensated as long as no one tries to claim the same pictures. Videos are the best of you doing the work, but pictures will also work.¡± Telly said professionally. ¡°Now, please send them to me so I can start to have them processed. I got my tablet, pulled the files and pictures of all the bounties up, and suddenly got a button. ¡®Send to Representative within one meter,¡¯ the button said, and so I sent them to her, and Telly smiled. ¡°Perfect. I will be sending those off, and now, live bounties?¡± ¡°Yes, Please help me bring them out. Although I do plan on keeping two.¡± ¡°Perfect. You will point them out when we get to them. Otherwise, we will process the bonus for capturing live criminals. The bounty office enjoys having products to sell for those who truly deserve death, which will be promptly dealt with according to the local laws. This world tends to want the labor over their deaths, so it takes special cases to kill them.¡± Telly continued. ¡°Okay, let''s bring them out.¡± The driver and I brought them all out, and I pointed at Emma and Ka¡¯ Tar. These are the two I am keeping; the rest are yours, and I would like the bounty on them.¡± ¡°Perfect. Those two have light crimes relatively on their heads. We will process them and chip them for you. We will tie them to your identity, so for now, we can send them in for processing,¡± Telly said, making more things on her tablet, ¡°That door is there for those ones; move it!¡± Telly snapped at the prisoners, ¡°And the ones you are going to keep through that door,¡± She finished pointing at another door. ¡°Perfect. Now, is there any loot you would like to process?¡± ¡°No, but I want to report something to someone as a sort of quest. I have evidence of something that you would like to hear.¡± ¡°Oh, that sounds juicy. Okay, I will be with you to process that in a more secluded location.¡± Telly said and marked a couple more things in her tablet, then pointed at yet another door. ¡°Over there is where we will chat. Please have your driver wait for you at the front, where you will be able to bring your belongings out when you have completed your business.¡± This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°Yes, Ma,¡¯ am,¡± The Driver hollered, getting into his truck with a smile. I love doing business with you.¡± With that, he took off, and we walked to the door as a new Van came in, and a Man came out from where Telly came out earlier. As soon as we entered the door she pointed to, we saw a hallway with many doors. She escorted me over to one of them and smiled as we entered a soft room. ¡°This is our space to process these things. This room is recorded for all needs, including reports to our superiors if you are unsatisfied with our services today.¡± ¡°Well, I have been loving your efficiency, Telly, so I will get to the point. When I was in Saints Forest, I was almost immediately attacked by criminals when I entered.¡± I told her, and she nodded. ¡°We have been receiving many reports of the same for Saints Forest. In fact, I believe there is a Quest that was put out two days ago to investigate the reason. Please Continue, though.¡± Telly said with a smile. ¡°Well, after being attacked and starting to learn on the fly how to do my job, I killed the two that ambushed me. But that is not everything. I quickly found another group that night, which I eventually took apart. I found that it was part of a Major Gang in the Forest. The East side gang,¡± I told her, summing things up, and she nodded, marking things down on her tablet as I talked. ¡°A couple of those people I just gave you can be interrogated to confirm this, and one of the criminals I just picked up, Emma, told me that the East Gang had something telling them about cars and things coming toward Saint''s forest, allowing them to get the drop on the Bounty hunters as they came into the forest.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Telly said, looking at me seriously. Now, you are making some pretty big statements that I will have to confirm.¡± I nodded, ¡°Okay. Please continue.¡± ¡°So the group that I took out captured the bounty hunters I just freed, too. I did not know that information until I picked up a shipment and sent it out of the forest. That is when Emma told me about this machine in exchange for me taking her as a slave on my ship.¡± Telly nodded and continued, ¡°So I went back to my base, and we can skip ahead a few days and kill a group of four while capturing one, which is Ka¡¯ Tar. I decided to go check the information that Emma gave me.¡± ¡°That is interesting. Do you have any information?¡± Telly asked. I grabbed my tablet again and sent her the pictures, and her eyes widened after I sent them to her. ¡°How the fuck did they get their hands on Military tracking equipment?! This is very serious.¡± ¡°Not anymore, I took it out,¡± I told her, ¡°Or at least I am pretty fucking sure I did.¡± ¡°How so?¡± Telly asked. ¡°I rigged the place with a couple of grenades to blow when they next opened the tent after killing the operators, as you can see, the dead operators.¡± I pointed out, ¡°Then I set their alcohol shed a flame and ran my fucking legs out.¡± The woman looked thoughtful and was about to open her mouth when I remembered something I had taken from the machine. ¡°Oh, and I took this from the machine. It seemed to shut down the moment I did so,¡± I told her. I took it out of my pack and handed it to her, and her eyes widened. ¡°This is enough to disable the machine and prove everything you said is the truth. As for the destruction of the machine, if what you said is the truth, we will have to verify. But I will tell you this: You disabled it. Either way, that machine will not work till you have this.¡± Telly said, holding up the thing I took from the machine, ¡°This is an Authentication device from the military, and it looks rigged up to do something. I will have to contact my boss to see what they think and what rewards you will receive. This might take a bit. Do you mind waiting?¡± ¡°That is no problem,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°Oh, are you guys still tallying everything?¡± I asked. ¡°Yes, we are still going through the files for everything you sent. I have a couple of notes here, and I will go over them all once this has been settled. Does that work for you?¡± ¡°Perfectly~!¡± I replied with a smile ¡°Then I am going to go directly talk to a superior. I will tell you this, If you hit this button,¡± Telly pointed towards something beside me, ¡°That will deactivate the cameras and all recording functions in the room. We are legally obliged to talk to you while recording, but while you wait, you may do whatever you wish here within reason. While you wait, you may even conduct other business. Please be patient with us.¡± Telly finished and stood up, walking out of the room. A second later, I pressed the button just because I was curious. The room light changed a little, and a large sign started to glow, saying, ¡®Recording devices off as per law 987221. Your privacy is Government mandated when you are alone.¡¯ I looked at that amused but I wasnt about to conduct clandestine business in here. I picked up my tablet and I called Ura because I was bored. ¡°SleepyWonder~! How are things going at the Bounty office? Are you almost done?¡± Ura asked, her sexy body now cleaned up. ¡°Did you shower?¡± I asked in return. ¡°Yeah, the dry docks are ahead in their work, but we still have a week or so before repairs are finished. Those pirates did more damage than we thought. Emily was correct; we would not have much time left if we did not park now. Those fuckers micro-hopped too many times, and there was internal damage in the engine. There was even a surge that went through, and one of the detection devices for those surge protectors and a relay blew. This was timely and desperately needed. Emily was already worth more than the amount we spent on her. She is taking to calling this her ship now, and we are just the passengers. She loves it here now and enjoys getting into the little cracks of the ship. Honestly, great find. Now, no more dodging; how did things go?¡± ¡°I reported something that I did to the Bounty office, and it is in review along with all the bounties I took. I have two people to bring aboard, and you will meet them soon. Whether we sell them or keep them will be something we will have to worry about in the future, but I think I will try to train Emma to be more muscle for us. I would like to have a conversation with you about some things when I get back.¡± I said with a grin, ¡°I also am bringing a bunch of things for me to tear apart and fix. I want to work on my guns and make a new shotgun for myself. Honestly, I cannot wait to get back and sleep in a bed. I learned a lot in that damned forest that will be useful to us though.¡± ¡°That is great to hear. How many bounties will you pick up?¡± ¡°Twentyish?¡± I replied, and her eyebrows shot up. ¡°Twentyish? That is really good. You do have that contract, though,¡± Ura warned. ¡°Yeah, I will send them the money as soon as I finish getting paid. I am waiting for them to review the evidence and everything first, so I am waiting. Once I am done, I have a truck to bring back the new slaves and my gear.¡± ¡°Then I will look forward to it. I have something I need to get to time-wise; I look forward to your return.¡± Ura then pulled open her jumpsuit, and her massive breast came into view with a hard nipple she licked her lips before hanging up on me with a mischievous smile on her face. I chuckled and settled in, deciding to surf the web and various things this Tablet can do. I still knew so little about the functions. Chapter 89: Hunt Completion I had to wait a bit, but the wait abruptly ended as Telly reentered the room with a bright smile on her face. ¡°I am turning back on the recording devices. I hope you enjoyed your short stay in the room alone. I am sorry for making you wait. We have done a quick tally of all your kills, excluding those you captured alive. Some were not distinguishable, and we could not tell the bounty. We cannot give the reward if we cannot confirm the bounty. Sorry about that.¡± Telly said, and her smile had disappeared with a more professional frown. ¡°That being said, you made quite the haul for your first trip into the Saints forest. Not many could kill over thirty-five bounties in one trip. Honestly, you should be proud of yourself; the total of your kills, if no one tries to claim the same kills, is Three hundred and sixty-one thousand one hundred and ninety credits.¡± Telly said with a smile, ¡°You killed quite a large group of disgusting rapists and murderers. Honestly, the Galaxy is a better place without every single one of them. I would spit on their graves if there was one.¡± ¡°To be honest, I did bury them; it is how I killed so many. I lured them into a trap where they thought the previous group was, and BOOM,¡± I told her with a grin, ¡°Had one of the people I captured dig their graves,¡± I finished. ¡°They must have thought that they might be digging their own grave as well. Good Job, Seriously impressive.¡± Telly said, ¡°Honestly, Rish are rare around here, but you are not nearly as fanatical about your guns and cleanliness as I expected.¡± I shrugged in return. ¡°Well, not that it matters. Again, I am honestly impressed,¡± Telly said before bringing up her tablet. Next, we have your captures,¡± Telly said, turning the tablet to me and showing me a list of their information. ¡ª Bounty: Kimmy Greenhorn Race: Half Human, Half Gecko-kin Crimes: Assault, Sexual Assault, Murder Federation Bounty: 7500 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution ¡ª ¡ª Bounty: Emma Volenski Race: Three Quarters Human, One quarter Twimmer Crimes: Multiple accounts of Assault and Attempted Murder Federation Bounty: 9000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution. ¡ª ¡ª Bounty: Tamerial Mystiron Race: Silirus Crimes: Multiple assaults with deadly weapons. Grand theft, Grand theft with the intent to kill Federation Bounty: 13000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Known to be with a pack of men and women attacking and murdering Bounty Hunters. Proceed with Caution. ¡ª ¡ª Bounty: Ka¡¯ Tar Hobble Race: Goblin Human Crimes: Grand Theft, Murder of the Elderly Affiliation: N/A Federation Bounty: 5000 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: Has a medical degree and finished top of their class. Unknown if this matters as they have no work experience. ¡ª ¡°You are keeping Ka¡¯ Tar and Emma, Not the worst people on the list you killed. In fact, many of them are kittens in comparison to those you killed and left here. I am glad you are not taking the more heinous criminals. Tamerial, in particular, has a fun assignment ahead of him. We notified the Victims that he had been recaptured, and they purchased him from the bounty office. He will find himself deep in a punishment mine in our cold climates. He is not going to be enjoying the rest of his life in that place.¡± Telly¡¯s smile was savage, and I nodded. ¡°Now, with your captured bounties, I have been authorized to give you a fifty percent increase on their bounties to keep them alive. Trust me, we are in the middle of contacting the last remaining family of Kimmy¡¯s victims. They will enjoy that we recaptured her now, which brings the total to Three hundred and Ninety-one thousand and four hundred and forty Federation credits. Which I have been told to wire to you immediately!¡± I quickly opened up my wallet function in the game to watch the nice show. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:169830 ¡ª- That was where it started, and I watched as the credits started rolling in till it finished. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:561270 ¡ª- What a delicious number of credits! It''s too bad I would have to send half of that back to keep my contract. That hurt, but I wanted to stay in the tutorial universe. ¡°That is a nice chunk of credits,¡± I said with a smile. Seeing that I got paid for a hard week''s work is good. But now we need to move on to the office''s thoughts on the information I brought back.¡± ¡°Yes, You will be happy to know that there was a Bounty placed to investigate what was happening in Saints Forest. The reward for it was a nice stack of fifty thousand federation credits and a couple of other things.¡± Telly said with a smile, ¡°I noticed that you are not wearing armor,¡± Telly continued after a pause. ¡°The Reward is a Bounty Office Exclusive Armor that was going to be used to incentivize one of the higher-ranked bounty hunters to take a vacation, if you will, into the Saints forest. This armor now belongs to you!¡± Telly exclaimed, and I was surprised. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. ¡°Bounty Office Exclusive Armor?¡± I asked dumbly. ¡°Yes, yes, as you rank up in the organization, you will learn that there are some things our office does to protect the newcomers, such as yourself. We put out quests for higher-ranked people or for newcomers who might be a bit more skilled than average to look into happenings. Many will be the deaths or captures of Bounty Hunters in the same area. These tend to be dangerous assignments that used to be very low pay and unrewarding. Now, we have added a hidden credit system and rewards for those who do these missions. You have chanced upon what was an Incentive for someone several years your senior. Honestly, you have a lot of people jealous of getting this armor. You should not have access to this without doing several more missions. But you did the mission, and the quest was put out there, and some people will be disappointed to learn that you took it. That being said, I should explain the armor we will be giving you. It is the Bounty Hunter Light Hybrid Armor exclusive to us. It has Karotine armor plating for strong resistance and light optical camo refraction. This armor will naturally, without power, blend you lightly into your surroundings. So, you will not appear on active scans for energy signs. A very useful feature. The armor has a shock absorption feature for shocking, stunning, lightning, frost, and fire bullets and is strong enough to resist Shotgun pellets except for slugs. This armor can take a hit and is close to Medium Armor in strength but not quite. You will have a hard time finding light armor that is as durable as this. This armor also has a heating distribution and a cooling system, making it harder for you to be seen in thermal vision. The weakness of this armor is very hot areas. You will stick out like a sore thumb in thermal vision in hot areas above Thirty Degrees. Now, This armor is customizable and has handy unpowered slots to put guns and so many various utility features, including a handy spot to attach your tablet to your back, which will connect to the helmet to allow you better recording for when you take bounties.¡± Telly seemed very happy to shout out some of the features, which, I had to admit, sounded amazing. ¡°Wow, that armor sounds like exactly what I needed,¡± I replied bluntly, and Telly smiled. ¡°Now for the best part as a Rish. We know that your skin is super sensitive, so for those like you, the entire interior is Nanoweave, and you will not feel a single crack as you wear it. You will feel hugged all over without any cracks your race hates.¡± Telly told me, then frowned, ¡°Now, the downsides,¡± Telly took a deep breath. ¡°This armor is unpowered overall. The energy systems it does run on are so small, and even military-grade sensors pointed at you would have a hard time registering them. This is an ambusher''s armor. A really good one and it is made exclusively for that. Despite how much it can take a hit, the panels are almost a one-hit-done item. They are easy to replace, and we sell the armor, but each piece is ten thousand Federation credits. The tech inside the panels cannot be repaired, so they are in pieces separate from each other. If you get in a bad firefight and get hit in ten different spots, it will cost a hundred thousand credits to repair. This armor costs over three hundred thousand credits, and you can only get it from us. So do not get shot in this armor, as the bill for repair adds up fast. But it is better than death.¡± That was staggering. So far, this Quest has been giving amazing rewards. ¡°I agree with you there. Better alive with a massive repair bill than dead and giving broken equipment to the people who killed me.¡± I replied. ¡°Exactly, there is one other thing as a woman,¡± Telly continued and blushed a little, looking away, ¡°This armor is not meant to be seen, but for women, it is very, VERY, form-fitting. After the armor has been customized for you, it will have panels under the breast and everything. It will have many shapes that will show off your body very sexually, some might say.¡± I could only smile at that and chuckle, which seemed to surprise Telly. ¡°Sorry, I like clothing like that, so it''s not much of a downside. I am honestly glad I do not have to go out of my way to find armor. It was one of the issues I found while in Saint¡¯s Forest. I was living just one stray bullet away from death.¡± ¡°That is exactly it; now, Can I have permission to scan your body while you do a series of movements? This will allow our armorist to finish customizing your armor while we finish our conversation.¡± Telly asked. ¡°Sure, Guide me through the movements.¡± As I replied and got up, the couch suddenly moved back against the wall, giving me more space to move. Lasers suddenly started to cover my body, and I started to follow Telly¡¯s instructions on how to move from side to side and kick out, among other things. It was a stretch routine and flexibility check, and I realized this body was more flexible than I thought. My tail was what made them frown a lot, but I moved it around and opened and closed it so the leathery interior was open. ¡°Okay, that is enough,¡± Telly said after a while, ¡°Your tail is going to make it more complicated, but we will put a grip function that can be wrapped around so that when you have not unwrapped our tail, it is armored. The armor is a bit flexible, so it all should work.¡± A sudden ding made Telly laugh, ¡°The Armorist is very excited to take on the challenge for your tail. He said it might take an hour to two hours to complete unless there are complications.¡± I nodded and was excited about the armor. ¡°So, what else is there to discuss?¡± I had to ask. ¡°Well, To be honest with you, the credits are for bringing this information to us. The Armor is for getting evidence so that we can force the authorities to deal with it. Then you disabled and potentially destroyed the device, killing or capturing Bounty hunters in Saint''s forest. So we are going to be bumping up your bounty hunter rank, and we want to give you a Bounty Hunter Office Exclusive Knife.¡± ¡°A knife?¡± I asked incredulously after the awesome armor, and Telly smiled. ¡°This is a really fucking good knife; this knife is something that allows you to cut into the rock if needed. This is one of the best survival knives we have. This knife can cut into Iron and steel like butter.¡± Telly said, then pulled out a handle. ¡°Black and sleek, it is very utility-driven with three knife settings. Vibro blade is used to cut wood and do various other things. Forcefield which is still a relatively new tech but makes a great metal cutting implement. It will cut into many things like butter, and the last version is the normal blade. Because sometimes you just need to stab something. For an ambusher and trapper, as we noticed in some of the footage you gave us, you will want this knife. It will allow you to cut into things and place traps before making it look like nothing is there. Trust me, please, when I say this knife is perfect for you.¡± Telly finished, ¡°Honestly, I fought for you to get this knife over the handgun they wanted to give you.¡± I pursed my lips and thought about all those times I used a knife in the forest. The answer was that it was the most useful tool I brought with me into the forest. The fact that it could cut into metal like butter was a big selling point. ¡°Let me see,¡± I said after thinking a bit. I reached out, and Telly handed me the handle. Instantly, the knife fits into my hand and molds itself to my hand, making it comfortable to handle. ¡°At the top is the different settings. The deepest and hardest to hit with your thumb is the forcefield knife. That is the most dangerous setting for yourself and others. Very easy to lose a finger checking how sharp it is.¡± I pressed the small button with my thumb, and a blue flat blade appeared. The top came to a tip, and when I twisted it to look at the blade point, the blade disappeared from my vision. ¡°You can''t see the tip because it is too thin for the naked eye,¡± Telly explained. I nodded and pressed the next button down, and the forcefield disappeared before a metal blade came out. A moment later, I heard a light hum. ¡°The battery in that knife can last a year with moderate to heavy use. It is not constant, but it is a survival knife. The battery is robust. But the longer you run it, the faster the battery goes. The hilt has a solar panel, though. It is highly efficient, but one of its weaknesses is that It would take half a month to charge it full from dead. There is also a charger that comes along with it, obviously. But overall, it''s extremely useful.¡± Telly smiled as she finished her sentence and looked at the blade, ¡°The vibro blade is also good for cutting into armor and stabbing the person anyway. It''s not as good as the forcefield, but it is better at cutting people out and so many other functions. You are better off learning about it. The last button is just the vibro blade without the vibrations. In the end, you will find uses for all three settings.¡± I smiled and asked the important question, ¡°What about safety? Like if it is in my pocket and something presses the button?¡± ¡°Nothing will happen; this knife can be tuned to activate remotely by twisting the bottom a half dozen times to turn off the safety feature while your hand is on the blade. This has already been tuned to you, and you alone; by the way, an enemy tries to pick it up,¡± Telly smiled savagely, ¡°It will send a stunning shock through them. It can also be used as a trap if you want it to be.¡± I could feel my own smile, and I loved the knife. ¡°I love it, thank you,¡± I said, and she nodded. ¡°With that, we will transfer the credits. Do you want to wait for the armorer? Have it delivered, or we can double-check if everything fits.¡± ¡°Let''s go check to see if everything fits, and then I will take my two new slaves and head back to my ship.¡± ¡°Perfect. I have enjoyed today immensely. Let me just send you the notifications for everything.¡± Suddenly, my tablet rang, and I pulled it open and smiled. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:611270 ¡ª- ¡ª-- Quest Updated- Hunted Bounty Hunters You have collected evidence of a device tracking Bounty Hunters as they come into the forest. You have brought back evidence of the Military machine doing the tracking and evidence that you at least temporarily disabled the machine, with the potential that you destroyed it on the way out. Rewards 50000 Federation Credits, Bounty Office Exclusive Hybrid Armor Ambusher edition, Exclusive Bounty Office Mutlicutting tool, Increase in Bounty hunter ranking. ¡ª-- It was amazing, and I looked at my rank. I went from an RF rank to an RE rank, with only one more rank up to become a veteran. ¡°Fantastic, I got it all, thank you,¡± I said with a grin. ¡°No, thank you, SleepyWonder; you greatly assisted us with your latest hunt. No, how about we go get your armor situation solved so you can go lay down and sleep?¡± ¡°That sounds amazing,¡± I said with a grin, standing up as Telly did the same, ¡°Lead the way.¡± Chapter 90: Back Aboard Walking out of the Bounty Hunter office, I saw two collared slaves behind me and a box in their arms containing my new armor and some spare parts. The Fitting with the armorer took longer than we thought, as there were some problems around my tail. But now, it would wrap around my tail and allow me to use it like another limb. It was something I had meant to train, and my body moved subconsciously, more or less, at this time. I feel like there was a feature for those with a tail that works in certain ways if you were not thinking about it. Still, I had to practice with it in the end. There was no reason to leave an advantage out. I could use it to help reload various gear and grip many things. There was so much an extra hand from behind could do that it would be stupid to leave it out of my toolbox. The next business trips with Ura will be focused on training. I would adapt to this universe and practice like hell in the spaceship. ¡°Come on,¡± I said as we reached the Driver. We quickly got into the truck, and I got in the passenger seat while my new slaves got in the back. I heard them set down the box, and soon, the Driver, without a word, brought us out of the Bounty Office and joined the traffic. He leaned back, and the car drove by itself, and he smiled. ¡°So you only need to operate the car when it is on manual?¡± I asked. ¡°Yup, Driving cars in the past was something that people considered normal to learn from a kid, but with AI and GPS trackers, it is not normal,¡± The Driver said with a chuckle. ¡°It is actually difficult to learn how to drive in a three-dimensional environment. It has been over a century since the antigrav systems were made, but people never fully adapted, and my profession became very needed.¡± The Driver chuckled, and I looked at him and nodded. ¡°That makes a lot of sense, But centuries? Or is that for this planet?¡± I asked. ¡°Oh, You are a Rish¡¯an Locktor; your species are newcomers; I forgot,¡± I could see the sneer as he said it, but he turned his head so I could no longer see it directly, ¡°It has been a few Centeries since the Major war that made the three major power players in the Galaxy. The Federation, The Empire, and the Kingdom. The winners of the conflict and the unifying forces that brought peace. They split the Galaxy into almost equal quadrants but still battle it out. But the various intelligent species, except for homeworlds, got mixed during it, and many lost a lot of technology. Our planet is one of them. We went back to what many would consider the Pre-Space era because we lost our ability to travel quickly between stars and antigrav. Our planet recovered quickly, being on a major trade route, so within the first century, we were brought back up to date, but we are nothing like core worlds.¡± I had not expected a lore session from the driver, but I could see his superior attitude toward me. I kept quiet because the information was really good to know, even if it was not all true. ¡°Thank you for the history lesson.¡± ¡°As a Rish¡¯an Locktor, I am surprised you even care. You are all fucking gun nuts anyways,¡± He chuckled, looking relaxed, and he looked at me, ¡°My employer wanted me to ask you to sell some of those guns you are keeping to them. But you are keeping them all, and it seems like a typical Rish.¡± Then he shook his head. ¡°Taking a gun from you gun nuts is stupid.¡± I felt my eyebrow twitch as I just remembered that I wanted to get rid of some of my revolvers that I did not need. If I remembered correctly, I simply forgot to pack them in a different spot and put them all aboard. Now, I would not sell them regardless and kept my mouth shut. ¡°Well, We are coming up to the dry docks of the spaceship; surprised you have a Spaceship Rish, your kind tends to-¡± ¡°Yes, I get it,¡± I said, cutting him off, ¡°Land this thing and help me unpack before you fuck off.¡± The Driver looked at me surprised, then blushed as he was probably thinking of me as one of the cool ones. That was just as racist as everything else he fucking started to spew. Luckily, he had not started this prior. As the Van parked in the stall, I got out and looked at him, ¡°I was planning on tipping. Instead, we will unload, and you can fuck off where ever you belong, prick,¡± I sneered at him, and I could see his face blank. I quickly opened up the door and started pulling out my things into the docking area, and when all my crates and boxes were out, and not a thing was left, I told him to fuck off again, and I sent a payment through my tablet. ¡ª- Current Balance: Federation Credits:599110 ¡ª- ¡°Fucker being racist to his customer just as they are leaving; what a dipshit,¡± I sneered and paid the minimum for the service. The extras that I paid for with it. Saving the Bounty Hunters costs more than I expected, but they will pay me back in full, most likely. If not, it is what it is. The bigger bill will be giving fucking half my damn credits earned to the bounty office I started in. But to keep the contract going, fifty percent of all credits earned go to them. I looked around, but the dry dock for the ship was not what I had expected. Then again, I could not even see the ship. Right now, we were in a side cargo area with security measures that only those with authorization could enter, and the vehicle was temporarily registered under my name while we were using it. Now I looked around, and it was full of small parts and a couple of large cargo containers. I looked around more and found a door that suddenly opened. ¡°SLEEPY~! WONDER~!¡± I heard Ura¡¯s sultry voice cry out as she entered the warehouse, ¡°I am so glad you made it back,¡± She continued, moving swiftly across the distance, ¡°The repairs are almost complete. Emily has been a godsend, and Nyava has been stir-crazy but enjoying herself. These the two new slaves?¡± Ura asked, her hand resting on her hip. Ura was now wearing a White Jumpsuit over her dark blue skin and red hair that was slicked back. She was smiling, and the two new slaves were still locked in, not being able to talk, ¡°They are not allowed to talk yet; I am thinking we bring them on the ship and show them around and figure out what to do with them.¡± I said, and Ura looked me up and down slowly. ¡°You have so much to do now that you are back. Heads up, Once we are back in service, I found a particularly good cargo willing to wait for someone with our services in mind.¡± Ura said, and I smiled. ¡°How lucrative?¡± I asked. ¡°Enough that it was good to sit around for. We will not make up completely for our losses in the drydock, but the cost should cover maintenance for the next half a year, considering how much we had to replace. Seriously, we are out of credits. We are fueled up, we have rations, the month''s loan payment is out, but we are flat broke. I got about two thousand credits to my name,¡± Ura finished with a frown. ¡°I have just under Six hundred thousand, but three hundred of that will be going to pay my contract dues,¡± I told her as Ura¡¯s eyes lit up, only for her to frown. ¡°I forgot about that contract, But it seems you made a big payday in Saints Forest.¡± ¡°The experience was enlightening. I needed the reality check on what my job entails. I will be training Emma, too,¡± I said, pointing out Emma. She got me a big payday,¡± I continued with a grin, ¡°like a very expensive set of armor payday suited for me.¡± Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. ¡°Oh? Then, I guess she earned a bit of her keep. It was good that I did not attempt to purchase your armor. I might not have been able to get a loan for the shortfall.¡± Ura said, grimacing. ¡°But enough of that,¡± She pointed to the door, ¡°You see those cargo containers?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°They contain a bunch of the underside of the spaceship. They are putting it all back together but are off for the night. So the ship is quiet. You can also leave your stuff out here; the place is secure.¡± ¡°Hmm, Ka¡¯Tar,¡± I said, turning to look at her, ¡°Grab the box of armor and parts and bring it with us. Emma, help her out if she needs it, and then both of you will follow us. You are about to see your new home. Ura reached around and pulled me to her side, and she blushed a little purple on her cheeks as she did so. I turned, and I kissed her, pushing my tongue into her surprised lips. I invaded without restraint, and she melted into me. I grabbed her waist, turned her to me, and pulled her breasts tight against mine. She did not care how much of a mess I was looking with dirt and grime all over the forest floor. I could feel her need for my return as she wrapped her arms around my neck and held me in place as our tongues danced and her leg started to wrap around me. I broke the kiss as suddenly as I started it, and my cock was hard in my pants, ¡°We can continue in the shower, Ura,¡± I told her, my voice husky, and she blushed and nodded. ¡°I did not expect how much I missed having you around these past few days. I feel much safer and happier with you around.¡± ¡°I missed you and your body while I was on the forest floor, but I did not have time to really miss you too much,¡± I told her honestly, making her pout. But now that I have returned, I am happy to see how excited you were.¡± She playfully slapped my arm and pulled back, our breasts still pressed together though, ¡°You are mean, but I am looking forward to that shower, now, Let''s get going,¡± She said and turned and with our hands on the other opposite hips we moved together only stopping at the door before returning once we were through. This was the main part of the dry dock, and the ship was surrounded by tools and platforms floating on antigrav plates. Things were done for the night, and the bottom of the ship was mostly open to the outside. The floor was still there, but there were holes in places where things needed to be replaced. The only thing touching the ground was the ramp, and I walked up with Ura. Emma and Ka¡¯ tar following us in. We did a short tour before I pushed Ka¡¯ tar on Nyava, who was about to jump me. Then I said a couple of sentences, ¡°You do not want the same punishment again, Right?¡± I asked, ¡°I am going to clean up and enjoy some time with Ura. You will get Ka¡¯ Tar here situated as your medical assistant, and Emma will look over both of them for injuries and various other things.¡± She was not allowed to talk as Ura, and I walked away and chuckled as I dumped the rest of the responsibility onto Nyava, who loved to talk. I walked with Ura into the bathroom, and for the first time in a week, I peeled off the clothing sticking to my skin, and the smell permeated the room, and Ura winced. ¡°Is that what you are going to smell like every time you come back from a bounty hunting expedition?¡± I chuckled, ¡°Maybe I did not really think to change, and the dirt and grime helped me blend in. How about you help scrub me and I will push you against the shower stall wall in return, ensuring your blue pussy remembers what this Rish¡¯s cock feels like.: Ura smiled and moved her mouth to my ear, ¡°Deal, Mistress.¡± So began Ura pushing down my pants, revealing my hard cock to her sight. My cock smelled of sweat like my body, and I winced. At this point, I stank so much even I hated it, and with the great material of the clothes, it had been masking my scent more than I thought. Ura then helped me out of my combat boots, and the smell increased more. I frowned, but the smell seemed to dissipate faster, making me realize it was my feet that stank, not the boots. I would have to check later, but I was not about to smell my boots. After stripping, Ura cupped my dirty balls and massaged them a little, sending a shiver of pleasure through me. ¡°I can''t wait,¡± She moaned before quickly taking off her jumpsuit in a single move, showing off her beautiful dark blue skin with her nice bubble and amazing breasts with two purple nipples. Her body was amazing, and she moved to the shower, turned on the hot water, and beckoned me. I stepped inside and moaned as the hot water poured down my body, turning a distressing brown as it poured down the drain into the filters. None of that mattered as Ura pulled me in, and our lips met once more. Her blue lips were against my pink ones, and her hands wrapped around me and pulled me close. My cock pressed against her stomach as our breasts mashed together. Our tongues danced once more, making my cock throb, and I broke the kiss and smiled. ¡°Let me work on your body, Mistress,¡± Ura said, and no more words were spoken. She grabbed a scrub pad and soap and started to wash every inch of my body. She started from the bottom, asking me to lift my feet, and she scrubbed them clean. No dirt or grime was safe as she methodically washed my feet and ankles, then worked her way up my calves around my knees, then my thighs. She would bump me a little, and I would move in that direction to make it as pleasurable as possible. Ura worked her way up but evaded my cock but dipped into my ass crack and washed up my asshole and pussy, making me shiver as pleasure burst in my head, and I wondered what it would be like to bottom in this universe. That thought left my head as she washed my stomach and back, leaving me feeling more and more clean before she scrubbed my breasts. Then, my neck was all around my face, which was a weird feeling. I had been scrubbed all over, and the water was taking away the weeks of work out in the forest. Now she took out hair and fur cleaner, and suddenly, her hands were all over my tail, sending an odd pleasure through me. I almost yelped, but I unwound my tail and even let her wash off the interior. Then she worked on my hair, which was brown instead of red. More and more dirt was eliminated, and soon, my red hair came back. And I moaned as I felt her fingers through my hair and fur as she washed my ears. I felt clean, so much cleaner than normal, and then she got on her knees, and suddenly she began to scrub my cock, sending shivers of uncomfortable pleasure. I twitched as she ensured even my cock was clean without a single inch being missed. The water finished washing away the soap, and I felt odd, but only for a second. As I looked down, Ura opened her mouth, and suddenly, the tip of my cock was in her alien blue mouth. Pleasure spiked through my head, and I moaned, pressing my back against the wall as she started to suck me off. My moans got louder and louder as her head rocked back and forth, and she massaged my balls. My body shivered, and the pleasure spiked in my head as my hips started to move on their own, fucking Ura¡¯s alien throat sending more and more pleasure through me. I grabbed her head, and I started to thrust fucking her throat hard, making her moan, and I released a massive cum tide down her throat without restraint making my toes curl, and my head press back against the wall. My eyes sparked, and I cried out. Then a wave of drowsiness hit me, but Ura stood up and turned around, ¡°Fuck me, then let''s go to bed, Mistress,¡± Ura demanded, and I stepped forward with my still-twitching cock. ¡°What a naughty slutty pussy,¡± I commented as I pressed the head of my cock against her blue cunt and pushed in. That alien pussy accepted me, and it was nothing like a human''s pussy. Each fold seemed to suck me in like a suction cup, and tried to keep my cock there. She was tight as hell and drenched. I slid in, and Ura moaned with me. Her pussy was almost indescribable, and suddenly, my hips were thrusting in and out of her. Pleasure sparked in my head, and Ura cried out as we mated without restraint. ¡°FILL ME MISTRESS FILL YOUR WHORE~!¡± Ura suddenly cried out, and I loved it. My mind was blank, and drowsiness was overtaking me every second, but my hips thrust into her, and my hips clapped against her juicy ass, and before I knew it, I was releasing fresh baby batter into the captain of my ship. She was crying out in pleasure, and I felt my head swimming, and I noticed a debuff now in my vision. ¡ª Camping Exhaustion, You will tire out quickly. Stamina loss +150% ¡ª-- It did not say why I had the debuff, but I think I knew why, and I continued to cum inside Ura with pleasure making my legs tremble. I barely even remember when I pulled out of Ura and she pulled me out of the shower. My mind was in space, and I felt weird because the game could make me feel this way. I thought about logging out, and then I decided to get a nice rest inside the game while logged in. I could use it. Somehow Ura got me up the ladder, and I groaned, ¡°God, I am fucking sleepy,¡± I told her, and Ura chuckled, ¡°Come on, Almost in bed; I did not realize how exhausted you were.¡± Suddenly, softness hit my back, and the ceiling was above me. I felt flesh on my arm, and I looked at Ura as she pulled a blanket up over us. ¡°Sleep tight, SleepyWonder.¡± She cooed and then kissed me. I never remembered her breaking the kiss. Chapter 91: Bedroom talk Pleasure slowly took me from sleep. Hot wet pleasure all around my hard cock, sucking me all over with tiny cups, made me shiver. I moaned, half awake. I felt sudden wet pleasure on my nipples, and I felt hair tangled in my fingers, and the pleasure was incredible. I was in bliss, and I thrust up into whatever was giving me pleasure as I slowly awoke into the world feeling tired. As my eyelids slowly opened to a blurry world, the pleasure was spiking as it picked up the pace, and my moans got even louder. I began to register that there was another voice moaning and the wet squish of a cunt pressing down on cock with the slap of ass on a lap sending me to heaven. I moaned loudly, and I reached my peak, and I cried out, ¡°Oh, Yeah,¡± without a care in the world as I felt my legs tremble, and suddenly I was back into the blank void of pleasure where nothing in the world mattered. My body shook, and I shuddered. I felt my balls then sending more and more cum straight up into that amazing wet sucking pussy. My back arched, and I pulled on the hair laced in my fingers, hearing a gasp as my eyes started to come into focus. My body was exhausted, but I felt amazing the pussy surrounding my cock sucked out the cum from my coc,k and I shivered, tensing up before all the tension in my body was released. I sighed and looked down instead of at the disturbingly close ceiling above me and saw Ura now moving up to fill my vision with her face, and I had to look up as she laid atop me with her pussy giving me a squeeze. ¡°Good morning, SleepyWonder,¡± Ura said with a grin. Her fingers threaded through my hair and teased my ears a little. ¡±I missed you while you were gone,¡± she purred, and I smiled. I reached up and kissed her lips, breaking the kiss a moment later as she blushed a little. ¡°I missed you too, Ura,¡± I told her with a cheeky grin. ¡°Not fair to be so charming. You know, I never would have expected to be with a Rish¡¯an Locktor. You are so different from the rumors of your species.¡± ¡°Well, I am kind of gun-obsessed, but honestly, I have been by myself for as long as I can remember, so I cannot say if those racist rumors are right,¡± I replied, and Ura blushed. ¡°I am not racist; I don''t care who is what Race,¡± Ura said with a pout. ¡°But many are,¡± she said, looking away. That being said, you said that there was something that you wanted to talk about?¡± Ura said, clearly wanting to change the subject. I grinned, wrapped my hands around her back, and let my fingers dance along her back. ¡°Well, if you want to talk about it now, I guess I can,¡± I chuckled a bit, and she smiled as we were inches from each other. ¡°So, How do I go about saying this,¡± I began to think about how to start. ¡°I want to start a corporation, Ura,¡± I began, and her eyes widened. ¡°I think we should start with dark shipments and small cargo vessels like this. Go for the safer solution before we slowly make our way up.¡± ¡°That is crazy expensive, and who would man the other ships,¡± Ura said seriously, and I trailed my fingers up her spine, making her shiver and moan a little. ¡°Ura, I know that,¡± I said with a grin. ¡°I think we start with slaves. We slowly make a bounty-hunting crew, and as we drop at each planet, we start to build up an underworld contact list. Fast Contraband delivery is the part of the market we go for. We make ships that can get through even homeworld and core world security and make that our target customer.¡± ¡°You want to start a smuggling ring?¡± Ura asked. ¡°A smuggling ring that is all bounty hunters to make us look more legitimate. The very people we will be assisting are those that we hunt down. Obviously, we don''t go after our clients, but that will also allow us to extort them later if we wish.¡± I continued, ¡°As long as you are our customer, we don''t come to kill you or capture you.¡± I grinned, saying that I could see Ura thinking. ¡°That is very risky,¡± Ura said. ¡°Well, It is only in the short to mid-term of my idea. What we need to do is get to the point where we own a larger organization where we can start to mix fakes with legitimate ones. The first three crafts we purchase are smugglers, and then we buy a fast ship that makes only legitimate cargo with legitimate bounty hunters that we control. Then, as we grow larger, we buy more and more legit cargo haulers and move up from there. That way, we have military power and income to pay for it all. The bounty hunters will be on the planet to bounty hunt for short-term contracts while they wait to find a good cargo to ship that has enough credits to be worth it.¡± ¡°So, even if the planet does not have a shipment right away, it is not wasting away. The hunters are out collecting some credits no matter what. That ensures that there are people defending their shipments, which means insurance for the legit cargo haulers and the smugglers is lower, along with going for fast ships to outrun pirates, although with slipstream drives, we would be almost ensured never to be attacked unless it is at a pirate base which is what the bounty hunters are for.¡± Ura looked intrigued, ¡°Things would get more complicated, and we would need to obscure the fact that we are the ones who started the smuggling ships. There is a massive risk at the start of this, at the point where we purchase the first six to ten ships to work outside of us. Finding the right people and training them will be hard.¡± ¡°Also, we would need slipstream engineers who are willing to purchase them as slaves,¡± I added. ¡°Yes, Plus the pilots which I have trained people in the past, so that I can handle that. You would have to train the bounty hunters, though.¡± Ura said, and I nodded. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°Yeah, the issue mostly comes down to me at the end of the day. I think getting people for the captain spot, engineers, and pilots will be easier than my training to start. I need to figure out if I am a good tutor with Emma,¡± I said and brought my hand up to her neck while the other danced along her hips. ¡°There is a lot of risk in this, but it would get safer and safer as time went on, and if we get massive enough, we can even start-¡± Ura cut me off with a kiss and a smile. ¡°That is enough of that,¡± Ura said. ¡°Farther than that, we would not be able to see. We would have to play it by ear, but I do like the idea. Why be a ship''s captain when I can be a fleet admiral?¡± Ura chuckled and looked into my eyes. I chuckled and kissed her before replying, ¡°You would make the sexiest Fleet admiral, With the finest slut pussy,¡± I grinned and got pinched for it, making me chuckle. ¡°Seriously though, I am not going to lie; I have no idea if we will die doing this.¡± ¡°We can die in a normal fright run. I don''t care about breaking the law, and I prefer to be ambitious than sitting around doing nothing. Otherwise, why would I be a captain?¡± Ura asked, and I almost pointed out how that had started off. ¡°As long as I choose the first people.¡± I got slapped, and she pushed her forehead against mine, ¡°That is not fair,¡± She pouted. ¡°Yes, it is,¡± I replied. ¡°I am more worried about the reliability of the bounty hunters.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Wait,¡± Ura frowned, ¡°As long as the bounty hunters are there, all our captains will have to remain loyal,¡± Ura said after a short pause. ¡°Exactly, and it is harder to keep that kind of people on our side. So there is one thing I think we need to keep them loyal.¡± ¡°What are you thinking about that?¡± ¡°Other than slaves?¡± I asked with a grin, ¡°Well, no, I am thinking that we purchase Slaves that had relatively minor crimes. Not hardened Murders and things like that. Then I will train them to be bounty hunters, and if they do a certain amount of bounty hunting for us, we give them a path to wealth and power over their crew of bounty hunters.¡± Ura looked at me oddly, and her pussy squeezed my cock a little, and I moaned as she shifted a little, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Gladly,¡± I replied, ¡°I do not have all the details in my head yet, but we go with starting them off as a slave. Then we free them for doing a good job. That is a test to them to see if they stick around. We let them do solo hunts or even group hunts without us controlling them. Make that the barrier of entry to rejoin us. Make it a ritual; say that because they have earned their freedom, we dump them on a planet that is well off. Then say, bring us back a bounty of a certain level, dead or alive, if you want to continue to be in our Corporation. That way, they EARNED their spot in the crew again. We know they want to be here; from there, we can even give them more freedom on planets. Then, they can earn their way up to running their own bounty-hunting crew. Maybe if we get large enough a division of bounty hunters and so on and so forth.¡± ¡°That is smart,¡± Ura said, ¡°it allows us to weed out and kill those who are useless and see their loyalty. Although I will say one more thing instead.¡± ¡°What?¡± I asked, curious. ¡°We don''t free them first when we dump them on the planet; We make them earn their freedom with that hunt. That way, we can protect our smuggling operations.¡± I frowned and nodded, ¡°We will have to test it.¡± I said slowly, ¡°Or, We can test both. But that is for later,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°We don''t even have to decide now. We can start making credits again while we travel planet to planet.¡± I said, bringing my hand up into her beautiful fiery red hair and pulling her down, and our lips pressed together in a long, deep kiss. Our tongues danced, and I felt Ura squeezing my cock, and I throbbed inside her in return. Ura then broke the kiss and leaned up and got back on her knees, but I pulled her back down, ¡°Oh no, you don''t,¡± I Purred with a grin, ¡°This time, I am going to make you scream,¡± I said as I flipped us over without retracting my cock from her. She moaned, but I was still hard, and every fold in a normal pussy was like a mini suction cup inside Ura. Her alien Pussy loved my cock and squeezed it, and each time, it was like hundreds of pleasurable kisses glided all along my cock as I pulled out before thrusting back in. Ura cried out, and I grabbed her legs and pushed them up behind her ears, and she looked at me wide-eyed. ¡°Oh~ SHIT~!¡± She screamed out as she realized that I was about to pile-drive her cunt. She cried out, and I slammed down on her pussy hard. The pleasure sparked in my head, and her scream at the violent insertion was more than enough to make me moan in return. My smile was massive, and I began to fuck her juicy alien cunt harder and harder, making her scream louder and louder in return without care. Our moans filled the cabin, and my lips met hers as I leaned down even while I pile-drove her cunt into submission. She may be the captain of this spaceship, but I was her Mistress, and I would not allow her to control everything this morning. I could feel her cry out and spasm a moment later as I kissed her alien womb and knocked on the door once again hard. Her pussy erupted all over us, and I did not stop as each thrust both exhausted me and brought me closer and closer once more, filling her amazing pussy. I got faster and faster, and before I even knew it, my head blanked as her pussy spasmed and erupted all over us once more. I lost control, and I cried out with her filling her womb directly with my cum once more, and we both shivered and moaned as I released more and more cum straight into her. I sighed and fell to the side after pulling out, feeling exhausted, and Ura crawled up to me as sex abruptly ended. ¡°Tired?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Exhausted,¡± I replied. ¡°Happens; hey, why not get some more sleep,¡± Ura said, and I nodded; I could log out, too, while my character slept. ¡°Yeah, I think I will,¡± I replied after a pregnant pause. Ura kissed my cheek and pulled herself up onto her elbow. ¡°I want to tell you that I love your idea, but it will take time. I hope that plan means that you will stay with me for a long time,¡± Ura said, and I turned to see her, but she was already getting out of bed, and I could not see anything but her shapely blue ass in my vision, and I smiled. I guess it was time to log out. Chapter 92: Scouting Logging out, I stretched, yawned, and got out of my pod feeling happy. I could not believe the number of rewards I got from that quest. That armor was perfect for my play style: ambushing people as they stepped into my traps. At this point, I could only imagine all the different PvP styles the first competition would bring. Gabin Corporation still had not announced more than the fact that there would be a pro league, which everyone had already guessed. The first thing I did was check the time, as I had set the game back to a one-to-one time frame. I did not want to give up too much time. I would start a new grind after this, but I looked at the time, and it was the middle of the afternoon, leaving me with an entire night to relax. Tomorrow, I will start to work on those guns, practice manufacturing and modifying weapons, and various other skills that I will need. I would get Emma to start working out and put her on a high-calorie diet to buff her up, but other than probably spending some time with Nyava, I had no other plans till after we left the planet. For now, I have decided that I do not need to go anything and that I can just relax. I quickly walked over to the shower and stripped before walking under the water under the relentless assault of hot boiling water. It felt amazing, just like that last shower with Ura. My mind was a little focused on Ura and the conversation we had just before I logged off. The sincerity of that conversation was startling, but I felt that Ura did not lie about her feelings on it. I kind of made up a bunch of it on the spot, but I could not think of a better way to advance quickly. Ura already had contacts in the underworld, and we were in a morally grey area. The bounty hunting in this game openly allowed slavery and taking on the criminals as your own personal slaves. I had not seen anything against that in the game, and it was just like Gabin Corporation to make something like this. Completely breaking the rules and turning adults only into a reality. They were going for a completely second reality, which it felt like with Galaxy Online. I could only shake my head and stretch while thinking about the plan I had set forth with Ura. It would be hampered severely by my need to give half my credits away. Was there a way I could dodge giving them more federation credits without breaking the contract? There had to be like claiming my bounties under someone else or¡­ My mind blanked, and I chuckled, ¡°What if I just got a slave to register as a bounty hunter and have them turn in the quests and bounties?¡± The question hung in the air, and I could see some downsides like that armor. It would not have been possible for me if I had given it to Emma to turn in. I would also not get credit for the bounties in my name if I did so. That meant there were a bunch of limiters to what I could and can''t do. The heat permeated my body, roasting me when I heard my phone go off. I stepped out without bothering to wash myself at all. I grabbed a towel, noticed the pile of dirty towels, and sighed. I would have to do laundry soon, but not now, as I reached out to my phone. I picked it up, wondering who was calling since I was worried it would hang up before I could hit the answer icon. ¡°Honey! I hear that you are playing Galaxy Online~!: I heard a woman''s voice. ¡°It has been too long, and I have an opportunity for you~!¡± She exclaimed, and I knew who it was not based on her pushy attitude. ¡°CuteasKitten, you can make the offer over the phone,¡± I replied tartly. ¡°I have been grinding in the game, and I don''t have a lot of time to relax. I am not going out just to hear an offer.¡± ¡°Direct as always and no fun, SleepyWonder,¡± Briana or CuteasKitten responded, ¡°Red Bull is recruiting past pros in the same type of games, and they want to make the Red Bull Corporation in the game. Major investment! They are putting serious money into the game because of the sensation it is causing!¡± ¡°Wow, that sounds completely TYPICAL of them, Briana. They have over a dozen fucking teams they have to upkeep. What makes this one special?¡± I asked without the ability to be more blunt. Briana chuckled, ¡°They are putting a lot of money in Honey. Seriously, I am bound by an NDA, not to say, but the amount is a lot more than typical.¡± ¡°And I am still not impressed,¡± I replied. ¡°What has a stick up your cunt?¡± Briana snapped back, ¡°You have not been in the pro scene for years, and your agent contacted my old team to look for leads. Now here I am offering one, and you start acting like a bitch and turning your nose up at a decent contract,¡± Briana chirped back. I chuckled, liking the back and forth, ¡°Because I think I can hold out for more, Briana. I am doing good in the Tutorial, and if I fuck it up and die and have to restart, I will start to contemplate a contract then.¡± ¡°You''re serious,¡± Briana replied, sounding surprised. ¡°I hate that I had to call you like a dozen times to finally contact you only to be rejected.¡± ¡°Huh? You called a dozen times?¡± I asked in surprise and put my phone on speaker before looking up my notifications. I quickly noticed that I had nineteen missed calls in total. Not only from CuteasKitten, but Amber also called and left a text. I grinned and said finally, ¡°Huh, you did call. Look at that.¡± I commented with a smile, ¡°Please tell me the offer before we continue.¡± ¡°You are not fun,¡± There was a pause. ¡°Okay,¡± Briana said after that pause, and I could hear the embarrassment in her voice. That was a lie. You are a lot of fun. But you are boring now!¡± She pouted, ¡°But the offer is an eighty thousand dollars a year salary.¡± I paused, waiting for more, and I sighed when she did not continue, ¡°Please tell me you have a better contract than what you just offered me. You have been great at multitasking and have always been an asset on a team.¡± ¡°Hehehe, I like hearing you compliment me, Honey,¡± Briana chuckled, ¡°I got a hundred grand a year but with a clause that I can leave whenever the fuck I want for any reason. I had to give up on advertisement money for a year for that clause.¡± ¡°So you can play in the pod while being paid and can leave whenever?¡± I asked incredulously. ¡°And Merch made while part of the organization.¡± ¡°How much?¡± I asked. ¡°I only get thirty percent.¡± ¡°Fucking robbing you, but what about when you are no longer part of it?¡± ¡°Same thing, but I don''t want to be stuck with my selling power,¡± Briana chuckled, and I chuckled with her.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Briana was cute as a damn kitten begging for attention with a ball of damn string. She was a cute blonde girl who looked like she was ten years younger. At five foot two with D-cup breasts and a face that would make many soften up just looking at it, her personality in the game was a contradiction. She was a multitasking fiend who was able to captain a team while dealing with micro control drones. She made a massive splash in the Call of Duty scene when she won a national tournament with gadgets that were implemented that season. They were taken out in the next season, but the damage had been done, and the little spitfire was in the hearts of fans quickly. She was good at the game, too, and sold merchandise well. The problem for her, though, was that the best position for her on a team was the leading position. That way, she could put you where you needed to be. That made it hard for her to change teams since she was a natural captain and kind of sucked at taking orders. It was hard to describe her play style, but I knew with the freedom of Galaxy Online, she would be a great pickup. ¡°Briana, how are your savings?¡± I asked curiously. ¡°I have been spending too much,¡± she replied, sounding embarrassed. ¡°Still, some of my old merchandise is still selling, so royalties are still coming in. I really do need to stop my cosplay addiction.¡± I chuckled, ¡°I have a clothes problem, too, although I have a grip on it. But I was thinking, Briana, how well are you doing in the tutorial?¡± ¡°Hehehe, you know me,¡± Briana said with a mischievous air. ¡°You found a loophole in the contract?¡± I asked. ¡°YUP, I am one of the lucky ones! I am not saying more than that,¡± Briana finished. ¡°I am in the same boat,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°but I have another question for you. Have you left the planet yet?¡± I asked slowly. ¡°Planet? No, It is like fifty thousand credits to get off this third-tier planet. Everyone I have talked to said the same thing.¡± My smile was huge. ¡°So, you are saying it''s hard to make that much?¡± I asked curiously. ¡°I am not telling you more without you telling me something in return.¡± I could hear the pout in her voice, and I grinned, ¡°Briana, can I trust you to keep your mouth shut?¡± ¡°What level of shut?¡± ¡°Company secret type.¡± I turned on the phone voice recording before continuing, ¡° I want you to acknowledge that you will not spread this information, and if it is discovered, you will be liable for, let''s say, forty grand. If you acknowledge this and understand that I am recording it in case we go to court, you will owe me that money for leaking this secret.¡± ¡°You''re being a bitch, but fine. It must be very spicy. If you are pulling my leg, I will kick your ass.¡± Briana replied before taking a deep breath. ¡°I, Briana Figsworth, do swear that I will keep this secret, and if I am discovered to have leaked it, I will pay forty thousand dollars in compensatory damages.¡± ¡°Good,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°The secret is that I am off planet with a spaceship of my own and a crew, Briana.¡± ¡®W~WHAT!¡± ¡°I have a spaceship and a crew.¡± ¡°NO FUCKING WWAY IF I-wait,¡± Briana was quick on the uptake, and I could hear her thinking, ¡°No, you are crazy, Honey. You want to start your own corporation?¡± ¡°I do, and I think you would be a great addition if everything goes well. I would insist on a stronger contract, but I would compensate as best as I can. But I will not ask you to move anything until I have completed the Tutorial. Everything falls apart if I fail.¡± The phone went quiet, and I could hear her thinking, ¡°Sleepy, Honey. Are you going to go all macho chick if I join you? You scared me that one time.¡± ¡°Okay, I was in a dominant mood at that time, and I warned you. You wanted action, and I told you that I was in a very dominant mood. I know I am partially to blame for scaring you, but you picked a stressful time when I was getting kicked off my team.¡± ¡°You did not answer.¡± ¡°I do not do shit that is against consent, Briana. If you don''t like it, just say no. It''s not like we have to have sex. Honestly, I probably will discourage it.¡± I sighed loudly, ¡°It fucked with too many people on that team. It was amazing how we made it to the semi-finals in the internationals while everything was going on drama-wise on the team.¡± ¡°Okay, I understand, um, Honey. Can I think about it?¡± ¡°Briana, Keep it in the back of your mind. But if you promise me, I will tell you something I think is a secret about the game that might change your play style. Actually, you have to sign with me first.¡± I chuckled when I heard the gasp of outrage. ¡°You''re holding out on me!¡± ¡°And you are, too. But nice to hear from you, Briana.¡± ¡°And you''re a bitch for dropping an offer like that on me. You are trying to scout the damn scouter.¡± I chuckled in response, ¡°No, I am scouting someone I know that would bring in a fuck ton of money if they joined. You are cuter than a fucking kitten, and you know it.¡± ¡°Your Right~! But mean, not my skills?¡± ¡°Actually, I think your skills are more important. But the other stuff helps.¡± ¡°I will think about it. Honestly, though, I am intrigued.¡± ¡°Good, because honestly, I have not been thinking about recruiting anyone yet. But if I am to pick up someone for a pro team, then I need a captain, and I think you were the best. Although my play style, I think, will blow your mind.¡± ¡°Great, I need to go, the damn team leader asked me to call a couple of my contacts. Now, with your offer, I want to do even less. Fuck, I guess I should go relax a bit before taking more calls,¡± Briana complained, and I chuckled. ¡°Briana, if you plan on joining me, keep from calling the ones you would most want on your team.¡± ¡°Excellent idea. I have got to go, honey. Talk to you soon!¡± With that, we hung up, and I sighed, thinking about the conversation. I had not planned on starting a team or anything yet, but I would have to eventually, and I wanted to be in the first PvP events. That means planning for it sooner. If what Briana said was right and that she was in a light contract, then I wanted her on my team. I think that she could keep track of the traps that I set up and would be able to lead a team with me to victory. She had the multidimensional and multitasking ability that I did not have, which would be perfect as a team captain. Then there were her contacts in the esports. I had a lot of contacts in the esports scene as well but many were not on as friendly terms as they were with Briana. I was just not as liked as Briana in the circle because of my forward nature. I was too abrasive and if I was going to have a team and a corporation then I would have to find people like her to lead. Sighing at my lack of leading abilities, I pulled up Amber¡¯s text and read it. Amber: Hey, I took your advice and got myself a pod to Play Galaxy Online. HOLY SHIT, this game is hardcore! I love it! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was also wondering if you are available tonight for some dinner and maybe some play. I need an answer, though, by about five in the evening because I plan on coming out of my pod by then, and I want to go out and enjoy myself. I smiled and thought about it, and I could bottom again. I was not as much in the mood to be a bottom, but I wasn''t that deep into the mood. I leaned back and smiled, ¡°No, I can go for that,¡± I smirked, talking to myself. I had not eaten yet, so I quickly composed a text saying that I would love to join her for dinner and maybe some play afterward. Then I went to my computer. It was time to start road mapping what I was about to learn and pull up the resources. Chapter 93: Preparations Taking notes and looking through things took a while. What I learned about trapping in Vietnam sent a shiver down my spine with what they did. It made me think that there were a bunch of modern or game equivalents that I could make. I would have to look into it more and more as I got better at the game. Still, causing infections would not be that useful in a future world unless we had to play for more than two days. It takes time for those types of wounds to fester and kill. But, they caused pain and slowed down their allies. It was an interesting contrast that I had not thought about, which stopped and pushed back a superpower all those years ago. It was insane thinking about it, but I was going to be an ambusher, and there are few conflicts that show just how effective those tactics can be than the Vietnam War. Not that trap-making has slouched in the least. IEDs, Drones, Claymores, and so many more various forms of traps have come up. It was amazing the sheer amount of information available on it. I wanted to dive even deeper into it. I never was one for this type of history, but now I was neck-deep into it. The Neil Breach protocol also had me smiling. Loading a pump action shotgun with different types of shells. First, you load something to kill someone as fast as possible, like a slug, and then you can use a buck on the rest to maximize the damage. It was perfect for killing a leader; then, as the rest of the squad panics, you pepper them with bullets as they flee or try to fight. This would be a perfect way for a bounty hunter in the future, like Galaxy Online, to load your shotgun for breaching. Enter with something that is anti-armor and follow up with status effects. Blow a hole in them, then move in to disarm or kill. It was something that I would have to experiment with, but I saw no reason why this would not work. After exploring the world of traps, though, I got myself a list and designs along with some tutorials on how to work with guns. I had over fifty queued up to go over when I was ready to go. But tonight was going to be another one of those nights to relax, and I grinned as I got myself into something sexy for my date with Amber. That hot dom was going to be a treat, and I was looking forward to it. I got myself in a little bit of a bottom mood with some select videos. I was feeling a bit horny after that, but I suppressed it for this evening. I could only hope to wonder what she had in store for me. I walked over to the closet and took my time picking something nice and submissive for Amber. I wanted to have a good time, and that meant letting her have a good look at my sexy body. The problem was that I did not know where we were going. So I could only call as it reached five o¡¯clock in the evening. I waited a couple of minutes, then hit the dial button and waited. It only rang once before it was picked up. ¡°Now, that is good news that you are calling me, Honey.¡± I heard Amber Purr over the phone, sending tingles down my spine. Or are you trying to reject me right now?¡± ¡°No, I was calling to say I am up for it. But, since you invited me, I need to know where we are going so I can dress properly.¡± ¡°Oh, Excited to see me, it seems,¡± Amber said, teasing my ears with her sultry voice. ¡°Two choices, Honey. You can come to a nice fancy restaurant, which I have paid for, but there will be something extremely submissive that you will have to do. Or we can go to a nice restaurant and talk before some play.¡± It did not take me even a second of thinking to come up with my answer. " I''ll pick a place to chat then,¡± I replied with a soft smile. Fancy places are just a fancy name for being left hungry and dissatisfied. I have not been to a high-end restaurant that has not left me extremely disappointed.¡± ¡°Okay, I can understand that. How about this, then? I want you to come with toys inside you that can be played with by remote, and I want you to give me the remotes before we start the night.¡± ¡°You want to do public play?¡± I asked, a little interested. ¡°I want to bring you back to my place dripping wet and hard as fuck for over an hour. Then, I want to bring you home and destroy your mind. Thanks for showing me that game.¡± I shivered as she said those words, and I had to give them to her. I might have been in the sub mood only slightly. Now my cock was hard thinking about it, and I smiled. ¡°You pick me up?¡± ¡°I will order an Uber. I have no wish to drive.¡± ¡°Request something more private for the back?¡± I asked, feeling hot and bothered now. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°Somewhere with privacy.¡±If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°When?¡± ¡°You have until I call, so be ready for when I get there.¡± ¡°No Eta?¡± ¡°You will wait for me.¡± With that, she hung up for me, and my cock and pussy were wet. How the fuck did she just do that to me. Sure, I was a little in the mood before, but now I was fucking ready to worship her. She just seemed to have hit me in a weak point with that. Was I more frustrated than I thought after being in the jungle for so long? Did I not just have sex in the game? But now I was in front of my clothing, picking out the perfect option. If I was going to do something like this, I did not want to get caught, so the smell would have to be contained. There were two ways I could do this: loose clothing or tight clothing, and I grinned. I could wear something over something else, and I already dove over to my favorite tight clothing in my latex section. I grabbed a nice one where everything would work perfectly for tonight and put it aside. The base layer would be black latex that had a nice seal that could be applied. It was a one-time type of glue that I had a bottle of, and once it was peeled off, I would have to wash it and reapply the glue to do it again. It was something I had from a previous relationship as a surprise for him. Not that I ever got to wear it for them. But now I had the chance, and I gleefully moved to figure out what I should wear over it. It would have to be something that does not show off much. I grabbed a latex corset next, and then I grabbed something to look sophisticated. I would probably get sweaty in it from the extra heat, but I knew that Amber would love what I had in mind. So I picked up a burgundy turtle neck that I had for such an occasion, and I got some looser blue jeans to go with it. I am sure that Amber would be a little thrown off, but that was okay. I am sure she would love to unwrap the present. I giggled as I went to my bedroom and opened up all my toys, and I paused, realizing that I was going to be out tonight. I wondered if I should stay at Ambers house as I would be fucked up from the night. There was no way that I wouldn''t be too exhausted to come back home. So I jumped onto my computer and posted that something unexpected came up and I would have to be out of my place for the night. That it was personal and that I am sorry. Refunds for votes will be given to those who ask for them or you can keep your vote for tomorrow. Then, I extended the vote and shut everything down. I took a deep breath, looked at my toys, and shivered. I had not done this to myself before, but I was looking forward to it. I took another deep breath and started to pull out toys that were remote-activated for torturing myself. So I started to get to work with tape and put things in place, knowing that I would regret this prep all very deeply. I put a vibrator deep in my pussy that was seven inches bumpy, and that was remote-controlled. This was going to be terrible, but my dripping wet pussy was thinking about it later without me being able to control myself. Not that I tried hard to. This was going to be an experience and if I hated it, i would just never do it again. I pushed it inside me then I taped a vibrating egg to my clit. If I was going to do this, I would be going all out. I wondered if she wanted to do this at that fancy place. So I grabbed two more vibrating eggs that were linked with the first one and tabbed them both to the head of my cock, sending a shiver up my spine. Then, I taped it all together for the bottom. It would be a pain to put this all together once I was putting on the latex, though. Then I had a sinister thought, and since I was going all out, I grabbed another and cursed myself for thinking it. I forgot who I bought this for, but it was a six-inch dildo that was easy to push in but hard to push out. It was for anal, and when pulling it out, you had to be slow since it liked to spread a little when being pulled out. It was also a remote vibrator, and it fits tightly in my ass. I felt full as hell, and I shivered as I finished and grabbed my latex body suit. Now was the last moment, and I double-checked everything in place before I started to put on just the pants portion. After ten minutes, I had my pants on, feeling full, and I shivered as I grabbed two egg boxes. These were five eggs wired to one little remote box. It was designed for something different, but I did not care. I taped the box under each breast and tapped two eggs to my nipples and three around my breast. One just under, two in my cleavage, and one on the side. I could not help but think about the pain and suffering I was about to subject myself to. This was that masochistic thrill I got when I knew I was about to be dominated. Willingly walking into the fire just for that pleasure. It was something I only craved rarely, but now, I was tingling all over, anticipating as I pulled up and finished putting on the body suit. It took another ten minutes to put it on and seal it up with the zipper on the back. The toys were uncomfortably still, and I was tempted to turn them to a low setting. But I decided against it. Instead, I gathered them all up into a purse, grabbed my corset, and strapped it on, ensuring everything was tight. The corset was a pain, and it pressed the toys and the box into my skin a little, but I put it in place to tighten things up. Then I grabbed the long-sleeved turtle neck and jeans putting them on. They were the easiest thing to put on tonight, and the only thing that told what was beneath was the latex gloves over my hands. I was sealed up to my neck, and I could already feel myself sweating, but I loved the tightness of everything. With a thrill, I moved to look at myself in the mirror, applying a little eyeshadow and mascara before I heard the phone ring. I finished up in a second and walked over to grab my phone. ¡°I am here. Come down. We are in the black-tinted car,¡± Amber said and hung up, and I smiled. I grabbed my purse and double-checked my phone, wallet, and keys. Then, before leaving for the night, I put on a pair of three-inch heels with an excited smile. I could not wait to feel what she had planned. I left the apartment, locking it up before heading toward the elevators with a massive smile. Chapter 94: Date Night Leaving my apartment building was a bit hard, given everything felt full and tight. Overall, it was wonderful, but it was a bit of a pain to walk with everything inside and outside me. It took me seconds to see the slightly stretched black car with heavily tinted windows in the back, and I smiled, walking towards it. As I neared, the back door opened, and I got to see Amber sliding into the middle car seat and pat the car seat she just left. ¡°Sit down, Honey. I believe you have some things for me.¡± The blush on my face from her words was something I had seen in so many others as I teased them. It felt good to let loose the reigns again, and I brought my full ass down onto the seat, sending a shiver through me as the toys moved a bit deeper inside me. I closed the door, and Amber tapped a tinted window from the front. ¡°You can go now.¡± Amber said softly, ¡°The other passenger has gotten on. Please, let us have our privacy.¡± ¡°Sure thing, Ma¡¯am.¡± The Driver said, ¡°You have a lock right in the corner of the window in case you don''t trust me as a stranger. Please make use of it and tap the window if you need to talk to me.¡± ¡°I will do that,¡± Amber replied. A moment later, the window slid shut, and Amber grinned. Now you are dressed incredibly modestly¡ªlike a professional¡ªbut those gloves are out of place, Honey. Why don''t you tell me what''s under there as you give me your remotes?¡± Amber said, and I shivered. I pulled out the remotes one at a time, and her eyebrows went up as I pulled out the last one, which counted five in total. ¡°I have five rotors on each breast controlled by one remote. Three around my boob and two on the nipple, two on the head of my dick, and one at the base with two on my clit, all controlled by one remote and a vibrator that moves around in both my pussy and ass, both controlled by separate remotes.¡± I said, and I shivered. ¡°Don''t you think it is fun not knowing what you are doing to me as you play with the remotes? All of them are stuck in place in a sealed Latex outfit to keep the scent in if I squirt or ejaculate at all during dinner. So no one will know by smell, and the latex will absorb a lot of the sound.¡± ¡°You are very naughty, Honey. I cannot wait to have you for myself this evening. I take it you can release more than one load? I plan on needing to scoop the cum out of my pussy in the morning.¡± ¡°I have never left a woman disappointed in performance.¡± ¡°Then I look forward to unwrapping that Latex off you,¡± Amber said, gabbed a remote, and turned the dial to the max. My eyes widened as the toy in my asshole suddenly burst to life without warning and started to stir up my asshole and bounce against the vibrator inside my cunt. The pleasure spiked in my head, and I could not contain the moan from my lips; Amber giggled. ¡°Oh, nice reaction. Seems I found one of the fun ones. Even better, I can''t hear it in this closed space, so no one will be able to tell me at the restaurant.¡± Amber cooed, grabbed another remote, and turned it to a medium setting, and my right breast started to vibrate, sending shivers of pleasure through my body as my breast vibrated and my nipples were teased. How could I have done this to myself? That thought quickly died as Amber opened up her purse and put the remotes away, taking them from my sight and dooming me to just one breast and my asshole being stirred by the bumpy vibrator. I could feel it, and Amber placed her hand on my thigh before she used a hand to make me look at her. I looked deep into her eyes, and I had that small smile on my face so many times. She did not stop, and her lips covered mine, and she pushed herself against me and forced her tongue into my mouth and licked my tongue and mouth all over. I closed my eyes, and suddenly somehow, we were lying in the back seat, making out with her knee up against my pussy and my breast in her hand and my arms wrapped around her neck. We were only a few steps away from just having sex in the back seat as she teased my left breast while the right vibrated. I moaned, and my cock throbbed against the latex prison, being left forgotten like my pussy. The constant pleasure from my ass and breasts, though, kept me hard as a rock, and my pussy was gushing on the vibrator deep inside it. Then, it all ended as the car slowly came to a stop, and the driver knocked on the window. Amber stopped and got up and left me a panting mess with a red face. She wiped the dripping saliva on her face and smiled. ¡°You know, that was not all we are doing tonight, Slut.¡± Amber said and opened the window. ¡°We are there; I will wait for your call to return. As per the service details, I will not be more than five minutes out.¡± ¡°Perfect. We will see you then,¡± Amber replied, closing the window as I got up. I opened the door, got out, and raised my eyebrows as I looked at the restaurant. ¡°Sapphire?¡± I said incredulously?¡± ¡°The owner is a friend, wait; the owner is my slave bitch that I play with once in a while. I contacted him and told him that I planned to cuck him tonight. He will be paying for the meal, and I will be cucking him with another woman. That he better bring out his A game or that he would never hear from his Queen again.¡± She grinned savagely as I looked at the nice restaurant. ¡°You hold that poor little cucks heart in your hand with your review of the place.¡± ¡°I love it,¡± I replied truthfully. I felt my heart swell a lot, and although I hated fancy places, the fact that I held a cucks heart in my hands made it worth it. The fact that I had over a dozen toys inside me while doing this was fantastic. I think Amber might know how to hit a lot of my switch tendencies. I had no idea how long she had planned this, and I found myself curious about that. Amber and I then walked up to the nice solo building with the sapphire blue, and a well-dressed man was smiling as we approached. ¡°Hello, do you have a reservation?¡± The host asked. The man had a nice large sapphire on his suit, which I thought was a dumb, fancy thing, but I kept my opinion to myself. ¡°Yes, my reservation for two is under Amber. The owner should have set up an appointment for me.¡± ¡°Ah, Yes, Ms. Amber and guest, we have reserved the best place in the restaurant for you two. It is just as you asked for it. Our Chef is looking forward to pleasuring your tastebuds,¡± The host said with a large smile, opened the door, and guided us inside. The restaurant was nice in one of those classic fancy ways. There were a dozen candlelight dinners going on that we walked by, and I had to say. It was a boring, fancy set, in my opinion, but I was biased against fancy places. Then we ended up in a little room just off to the side as I continued to walk with a Vibrator deep in my ass, making each step more pleasurable than the last. I had to hold back my moans as we walked past couples and business parties, and the little room that we got was up a set of stairs with a massive window showing off a nice view of the city. I smiled as we finally got to sit down. ¡°Now, the owner has told us that you are difficult to please and not in a bad way. We are hoping that we can meet your standards this evening. The Chef is prepared to try their best to ensure that everything is perfect.¡± ¡°Good, now, I know the owner has selected a wine for us tonight,¡± Amber said with a grin, and the waiter nodded. ¡°Yes, he has selected three that will perfectly match the meals that you decide. I guarantee that it will be perfect. Do you want to see the menus, or do you want to go with the chef''s five-course meal, where he goes all out to ensure your happiness?¡± Amber raised an eyebrow at me, and I opened my mouth and almost moaned as the vibrator hit a sensitive spot inside me as it stirred up my ass. I took a moment before saying, ¡°Five courses, I want to leave full, though. In the last couple of places like this, I have been to, I always left hungry.¡± ¡°I will pass your words to the chef. I assure you that you will be most pleased with the meal. We will have drinks and the first course out to you soon. Please, Enjoy our hospitality,¡± the host bowed and left Amber and me in our spot. The moment he was out of hearing, I moaned as I needed to release it. ¡°Ah, you are enjoying yourself already,¡± Amber said, pulling out the remotes and placing each on the table without care that anyone would see them. Then turned the dial up on another and grinned, ¡°I want you to cum, Slut. I want you bathing in your own juices as we eat,¡± Amber told me with a grin as the vibrators on my cock and clit jumped to life, but she was not done. Amber turned up the next one, and my left breast was up almost to the max. Amber finished it off by turning on the one deep inside my pussy, and I learned something about the vibrators I did not know. The one in my pussy was stirring deep inside me clockwise, while the one in my ass was going counterclockwise. The sudden and constant clash of my ass and pussy hitting each other as the vibrators stirred made me double over the table, and I covered my mouth and moaned into my arm. Then I felt Amber push her foot between my knees and push up against my cunt a moment later and grinned. ¡°Cum, Slut. You will cum for me; I want to feel your squirt.¡± Amber said with a savage smile. It did not take much, and my head went blank as the assault on my body was relentless. I could feel it all over, and I lost myself in the pleasure and squirted, followed my ejaculating, and my ass started to spasm all over the vibrators that did not cease. I felt my pussy tightening up on the vibrator and my cock throbbing and pulsing with the vibrations, and my nipples were being pinched a little as the vibrations attacked my nipples. Everything was in heaven and a hell of pleasure as it assaulted me without restraint, and I looked up at Amber, who just smiled and watched. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. I could see in her eyes how much she was enjoying this scene with pure sadistic glee, and I reached a second peak. ¡°Enjoying yourself?¡± Amber asked just as I orgasmed with everything once more and loudly moaned without restraint, and my body started to twitch. Still, she did not relent, and my lower body was melting, and my legs wrapped around hers as I reached another peak even quicker. ¡°Please,¡± I gasped with a moan caught in my throat, and Amber grinned. ¡°Cum.¡± Amber ordered, and my head blanked out as my body followed her order without delay filling the latex outfit with more cum and female ejaculate. My legs trembled, and her hand finally moved, turning down two of them. The vibrators on my cock and my asshole slowed down to almost nothing, and the rest were set to a medium. The release from the max was amazing, and I was breathing heavily as the Waiter came up. I controlled myself and sat up, making the vibrators push in deeper. ¡°Ladies, I am your waiter for the night. My name is Nick. I have been told not only to do my best but to do better than the best for you, which is weird because that is what I always do. First, the theme of the night is Romantic Italian. Our chef is very well known and assures me that you will go home satisfied and happy with the meal. Now, with that out of the way,¡± The waiter pulled a cart that I had not noticed and smiled, ¡°We are starting with a pallet cleanser as is typical. This is Aperitivo, a classic Italian drink,¡± He said, bringing out two tall glasses with an orange wedge on it and a reddish liquid inside, ¡°The Aperitivio is a pre-meal drink designed to cleanse and wet your palate before beginning the first course. I ensure that you will enjoy it. I will be back shortly with the second course. Please, enjoy.¡± With that, Nick left without another word, leaving Amber and me alone and her smiling. ¡°We can enjoy our drinks and talk a bit more. I can tell that you need to rest a bit from cumming three times,¡¯ Amber said with a grin. I could not help but nod, and Amber¡¯s grin grew larger, ¡°Well, I must say, Galaxy Online is not what I expected, Honey. I had to call a contact to skip the line, but I have been playing it the last few days, and I have to say it is amazing to be in combat again.¡± Amber said, leaning back, ¡°I never expected my days in the front line to come back, but this game brought it back like whiplash. You know, I started a character that I think I am growing quite fond of being. I chose a Rish¡¯an Locktor, a species of Gun nuts that I love to carry around arsenals on them. There were a lot of demerits stated in them when I picked the race, but I could see so many upsides. I have been spending days with my new tail learning how to change magazines.¡± My face was surprised. Amber looked at me as she finished her last sentence and tilted her head, ¡°What has surprised you so much?¡± ¡°That is the race that I chose,¡± I replied honestly. I chose a Rish¡¯an Locktor, a Guns specialist.¡± ¡°Wow, that is insane. I almost picked a gun specialist, but I did not like the creation part of that class; I am good at using other people''s weapons. I chose the Agent Class. It uses both the Engineering bonus and the firearms bonus that the Rish¡¯an Locktor gets, and it has a bonus to use on gadgets. But I don''t have much of an interest in crafting, so I don''t have a subclass. Also, Agents are a five-star difficulty class because most gadgets are tossed away, making them expensive, according to the game. Honestly, I am looking forward to being a bounty hunter, but the game started me in the military, and frankly, I noticed a lot of hate toward the Rish.¡± ¡°They think we only think about guns,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°Holy shit, out of the hundreds or thousands of races to choose from, I can''t believe you chose the same one as me! Tell me, do you love the cat ears?¡± ¡°A bit sensitive and really annoying how things scratch at your skin,¡± Amber replied. ¡°Mmm,¡± I moaned a little, took a drink, and relaxed, which sent a shiver of pleasure up and down my spine.¡±You know, the ears on the Rish can flatten to your head and act as natural earmuffs from the gunshots?¡± I said after a moment. Ambers''s eyes lit up, ¡°Really, I am going to have to practice that then! I am loving my choice even more now. What are you up to in the game right now?¡± ¡°If you promise not to tell anyone.¡± ¡°Absolutely, I know how to keep a secret.: ¡°Mmm,¡± I shivered, and I looked at her with that soft, sadistic smile I had seen on my face so many times, and I bit back another and took a drink. ¡°I am in space all over the place. I am in a smugglers ship bounty hunting around the galaxy,¡± I told her with a smirk, only for it to be undercut by her reaching out and twisting a dial and sending my anal vibrator overdrive, making me moan loudly, which she promptly lowered again. ¡°That sounds great. I bet you are going to get far ahead for a start. Do you mind if I ask how?¡± ¡°Prior to the patch, I found a Contract loophole. They allowed those who found it to keep it. So, I have been traveling in the galaxy at this point, and the world and lore are amazing. I loved the game. The Crafting system is insane, too. So much free reign!¡± ¡°I look forward to getting out of the tutorial then. But I am going to take my time and learn inside the tutorial.¡± ¡°Well, I think the Tutorial is trying to adapt gamers like me to think of the game like real life. Die in the game, and you die permanently. Sure, that ends in the main universe, but the difficulty in the main universe is said to be insane.¡± ¡°Interesting. Then I am not going to change my style, but the food is here,¡± Amber said, ending things as Nick came up with a smile. ¡°Sorry for interrupting your conversation,¡± Nick said with a slight bow, ¡°This is the Second-course appetizer Antipasto, a nice selection of meats and cheeses for you to enjoy,¡± Nick went on about the food on the table for a bit before dismissing himself. That started the meal, as we started chatting about random things, learning more and more about each other. Amber started to ask about my pro career, and that started me down a rabbit hole of her questions and my answers about the small details about being at the top of the field. It was nice to talk about it over the food, although I thought it was high-class trash, in my opinion. The food was just fancy meats and cheeses. Then Nick came with the third course, which was a garden salad with a housemade vinaigrette and a whole bunch of other crap I barely cared to listen to as Amber twisted two of the remotes controlling my breasts, making me much more aware of my nipples and breasts, in general. I could see the soft smile on Amber''s face as I bit back my moan, and Nick went on about the salad. After he left, she did not turn them down, and the salad was left with me moaning as the salad was actually pretty good. I lost myself in a symphony of pleasure, and suddenly, as I was finishing up and setting aside the plate as was Amber, she turned the dial on the other three. Suddenly, everything went into overdrive, and it took me beyond the peak in seconds, making me cry out loud and hit the fork I had just been using to the floor as I orgasmed with all three holes for the fourth time tonight. Not even a moment later, Nick showed up with a worried smile, ¡°Is everything okay?¡± Nick asked. ¡°Oh, I d- Dropped my fork; it just surprised me,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°But we have finished the third course,¡± I finished, trying to cover up that I just had an earth-shattering orgasm while Amber left me to deal with the aftermath. ¡°The main course will be out in a minute; we also will be having one of the paired wines with it,¡± Nick began to explain the wine and left a moment, after which I glared at Amber, who I realized for that small chat brought the vibrators back down. That changed the moment that he left, and suddenly, I was back to orgasming again, with the bottom half of my body feeling increasingly damp and soaked. Sweat also started to show on my face, and Amber only turned down the vibrators when Nick returned and started to explain the main course. To my dismay, that edged me. I had been at the peak and about to cum when Nick showed up to pour wine and give us more food, and my legs were rubbing together. My mind was starting to get hazy from the teasing and the delicious meal. The slow timer made things even weirder to me as things came out slowly. My body was also starting to get more and more desperate for that pleasure. But for the main course, Amber let me rest, much to my growing dismay, and when we finished, the dessert came out, and I had finished my wine, as did Amber. Apparently, it was something super expensive, and I could not care less. The dessert was coffee made into a sweet and delicious dessert, although I could barely register that as Nick talked and Amber turned up the dials to make me wallow and pretend nothing was wrong. She was loving every moment of this, and I was shuddering as I came in my latex body suit again and again. I could feel the cum dripping down my legs and reaching my feet ever so slowly as it stuck to my skin. I had no idea what it would smell like once we were finished, as I had been sitting in my own cum and female ejaculate for hours during this meal. We drank the dessert, and Amber stood up, grinned, and walked over to me. I looked up at her. ¡°Did you enjoy the meal, Honey? Are you still happy to come over tonight and enjoy my company?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± I breathlessly replied as Nick arrived, ¡°All done?¡± ¡°Yes, Tell your owner that Amber said that she was moderately delighted by the outcome of this meal. He will be ecstatic that I said so. Also, Nick, the meal was delicious, and your service was impeccable. You ignored what needed to be ignored and acknowledged what needed to be acknowledged. Tell your boss that I have high praise for you. You may also insist that I told you you deserve a raise.¡± ¡°Um, Thank you. The owner has comped the meal; I hope you both have a good night.¡± Nick replied, and I shivered as I realized that I had not noticed that Nick had realized what had been going on the entire time. I did not know how to feel about that, but Amber left the toys on full blast, and the toys were rattling inside my body, sending another earth-shattering orgasm through me. I felt my cock releasing more semen, and I shivered before Amber turned down the vibrations. ¡°Good Girl, let''s go,¡± Amber said, helping me stand and put the toy remotes into her handbag. Then, she helped guide me toward the door arm-in-arm. My legs were trembling as I attempted to walk with the weak vibrations. My face was hot, and Amber pulled out her phone and called the driver just as we walked outside; we walked out into the cool night, and she smiled, ¡°Not such a bad fancy place,¡± Amber said with a grin. ¡°Did you enjoy the date?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± I shivered, ¡°Although the decor still screams rich assholes with no imagination,¡± I said, feeling the need to insult the place. ¡°That I will not disagree on, but here is our ride; I plan on making you scream for hours tonight, Honey.¡± The promise hung in the air as she guided me to the heavily tinted car we arrived in. I had no idea what I signed myself up for, but I knew it was going to be a hell of a night. As I sat down, sending the vibrators deeper inside me, I shivered in anticipation of what Amber had in mind. Chapter 95: Date Night Part 2 Getting in the car with Amber, the driver quickly started to drive to Amber''s destination, which was set. I, on the other hand, had Amber pushing me down once again, only for her to lay atop me. She showed me a remote, then turned it to the max, sending my mind away, and did it for each as my eyes started to unfocus. When she finished turning all the dials to the max, she started to kiss me as I began to moan loudly under the assault of the vibrations. The kisses helped bring me even faster to the edge, and when Amber broke the kiss, she would whisper, ¡°That''s right, Become Queens little pleasure bitch. I cannot wait to open up that latex outfit to see how many times you came like a bitch.¡± Her whispers, combined with the constant assault, sent me into the Subzone so hard that I made a home inside. I forgot how many times I came and that I even had a name. I was just a slut for the taking, and the night had not even reached the bedroom. I had done this to myself, and my hips and body began to act on instinct instead of cognitive thought as I started to ram my hips up into Amber, achieving nothing but making her giggle as I failed to penetrate anything as my cock screamed at me to do. My breasts were sensitive to the point of almost hurting, and her tongue danced with mine as she dominated my mouth. My mind was a blank void in the subzone, and I continued to act on instinct during the entire drive. Again and again, My cock erupted, my pussy squirted, and my ass spasmed on the toys torturing me as my body tried to push them out to save my brain from frying itself on pleasure, and the latex held it still as I cried out for mercy. I barely even registered when it all stopped, and the car came to a stop, and Amber was giggling. ¡°Great work. I will use your service in the future,¡± I heard Amber say. She helped me sit up as everything inside me stopped rumbling. I shivered in the back seat, and I felt wet everywhere below the waist. I was soaking in my own cum, and my legs felt like they disappeared. For several moments, as Amber talked with the driver and handed him a tip, I just lay there thinking I was a quadriplegia and would never feel my legs again. Amber stood above me and helped me up, and my body feelings hit me once again like a truck. I moaned, and my legs shivered as I got up and out of the car. I was then met with the sight of Amber''s breasts for a moment before she helped me to my feet. I felt my face further heat and my cock throb despite everything, and I looked at the building we were going to. I noticed one of those fancier apartment buildings, and Amber helped me into the lobby. She pulled a card out of her purse, swiped it before entering, and helped me toward the elevators. The Lobby was nice, and she grinned as I looked around, soaking it in. ¡°I got out with a healthy chunk of change, Honey. Still, I miss the work,¡± Amber said, bringing me to an elevator, which was nice. She then pressed the highest number, and the elevator shot upwards with only a short amount of time to get up to speed. The elevator did not even take that long, and my legs started getting a bit more solid under me. Then the elevator opened, and Amber helped me out, and I noticed a hallway with six doors. She then brought me over to the one on the far left side and opened the door to what could only be called a luxury apartment. I almost stumbled in on my heels, so I kicked them off. Amber chuckled, helping me out. Then she walked me in, and I could barely register everything. This was a multi-floored apartment! I LOVED IT! ¡°This way, Honey,¡± Amber said, ¡°You can see the rest later; I am itching to unseal my treat.¡± Instantly, I noticed a wooden door on the wood paneling, making it very easy for the eyes to skip over. Then Amber swiped her card on the door, and it unsealed, and she pushed it open up to a wonderful dungeon full of toys and BDSM equipment. ¡°This is a custom thing I changed when I inherited this apartment. I spent a bit on it, but I love it.¡± Amber said with a grin, ¡°For now, I need you to lie down. I have been wet as hell for you, and I cannot wait to strip you.¡± Amber pushed me over to a bed I had not seen when I first entered, and I saw the four posters and many other things attached. But my mind did not have the time to register everything as Amber pulled on my shirt, and I went with it, allowing her to take it off, showing the shiny Latex clothing and corset that clung to my body tightly and showed a bit of what was underneath. She grabbed my jeans, undid them, and pulled them off my lower body, revealing the entire bodysuit, and she licked her lips. ¡°You did not lie; you are sealed up tight. I can''t wait to open you up. ¡°There is a glue you can pull out just my cock.¡± I moaned as everything felt good. ¡°No, You need to be naked for your Queen. This Queen Demands it.¡± I smiled, and I sat up again, and I asked, ¡°You want me to strip, or do you want to unseal me, Queen?¡± ¡°I need to unwrap my gift; stand and show me where,¡± Amber ordered, and she quickly shed her clothes, so I realized I barely even registered tonight. I was looking at her and only her. I got up for her and pointed at the zipper, and suddenly, I felt the corset loosen. She stripped it off before she unsealed my bodysuit, and I shuddered. As the air started to flood in, she peeled off the latex that was sticking to my skin with sweat, and a pungent odor started to fill the room. ¡°Fuck, you stink like a bitch in heat. Amazing,¡± Amber said and finished pulling down the zipper. Then she peeled it off my shoulders, and the gasp of pleasure from taking such a tight fit for so long and so sweaty was visceral. I loudly moaned as she peeled it off my breasts, and the stink of cum and sweat started to mix into the air, becoming more pungent by the second Amber moaned as she pulled it down to my waist and then pulled it down and cum started to leak out of the latex, and the smell got ten times worse. Amber pulled it down my legs, freeing me from the second sweaty skin. And I loudly moaned from the act, and Amber chuckled. ¡°Oh, wow, you did not lie. Look at this pool of cum leaking out of your outfit. How fucking smelly and delicious this all is. Do you even have anything left in you?¡± I stepped out as she tapped my feet, and I shivered in the cool air of the apartment. Amber pulled the latex away from me, and my entire body was coated in my cum and sweat. Amber turned me around, and her naked body pressed against me. She wrapped her arms around me and took my lips once again, then pushed me down onto the bed and laid on top of me for only the briefest moments. Then she stripped the toys off my cock, making me cry out in pain as the body tape suddenly was stripped from me. Then she moved back and tore off the two on my clit and then smiled and kissed me once again, laying atop me.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°You will no longer cum without this Queen''s permission. Do you understand that cum slave?¡± Amber ordered, her voice laced with desire and lust. I could see her need, and I groaned in return under the harsh orders, and she grabbed me by my cheeks and forced me to look into her eyes, ¡°YOU WILL NOT CUM WITHOUT PERMISSION!¡± ¡°QUEEN I WILL NOT CUM WITHOUT PERMISSION~!:¡± I cried out in return, and I saw her smile sadistically and grab my cock, making me exclaim, ¡°FUCK!¡± Amber moved with her hand, and she was on her knees. I could feel her hand jerking my drenched cock slowly as she lined it up with one of the wettest pussies I ever felt. She said nothing as she leaned back and started to ride my cock, bouncing her b-cup breasts in my face as she hopped up and down on my cock without a care for how I felt as the spine-shivering feelings up and down my spine. I could feel her tighten up on me with her drenched cunt and my cock kissing her cervix, making her moan louder, and she suddenly pulled out the remotes from somewhere beside us. I looked at my toy remotes with a horrified expression, and the sadistic glee on her face made my cock throb as she bounced on my cock even harder. ¡°You will not cum, Slave,¡± She ordered once more, then turned the dial to the max, then tossed it across the room without me seeing where it went, much to my horror. Still, my mind barely even comprehended that as the toys around my left breast started to action sending renewed shivering pleasure as she monad and tightened up on my cock as I could hear her moaning louder and louder. I was at the peak before I even knew it. ¡°QUEEN~! QUEEN~! MERCY~! I NEED TO CUM~!¡± I cried out as my cock, and balls were throbbing so hard it was painful. ¡°Not until after your Queen Cums, Slave. It is my turn,¡± Amber sadistically chided, and I screamed as I tried my best to hold back. ¡°NO~! NO~! I CAN''T, I CAN''T, QUEEN~!¡± I screamed as the pleasure flooded my brain, and My queen suddenly spasmed and came on my cock as she loudly moaned, and I cried out, ¡°MAY I CUM NOW, QUEEN~!¡± I screamed in agony. ¡°Count with me, slave, Five~!¡± Amber moaned. ¡°FIVE~!¡± I cried out, and suddenly, my breast was slapped, sending a solid pain to my head, and I cried out. ¡°Four~!¡± Amber continued, and I followed as the pain laced my mind with pleasure, and sudden pain laced my world as she slapped down on my left nipple like a drum, making me cry out, ¡°Three~! Hehehe~!¡± Amber continued laughing, and I followed her count, only for my left breast to get slapped once again, making me cry out. Amber continued, ¡°Two~!¡± She counted down, and I cried out two with her, and she grabbed my left breast and pulled on it, lacing it with a different but similar pain as the right felt good and the left was in pain. I shuddered, and my cock throbbed, and I had no idea how I held my cum back as she called out, ¡°One~! Slave~!¡± ¡°ONE~!¡± I cried out after her, and nothing happened, and that was even worse as my entire body flinched, and I started to spasm and release my load even as I tried to hold it back. ¡°No~! NO~! I AM CUMMING QUEEN SORRY QUEEN~!¡± I cried out as the bliss invaded my mind with the guilt of cumming without permission, and Amber looked down at me with disappointment as I flooded her insides as bounced on my cock with her tight pussy. I cried out and shuddered, and she leaned down as I drooled from the pleasure. ¡°I did not give you permission to cum, Slave. Now you are going to go into pleasure hell.¡± She said as she grabbed all the remotes and then repositioned her body to move even faster. ¡°You want to cum as you wish slut? Cum as much as you want now~!¡± She barked with condescension and then turned every dial on the toys. The toy in my ass, pussy, and left breast turned on and started to blank my mind out as Amber then started to bounce on my cock with her pussy gliding up till it almost popped out, then dropped her ass back on my cock, letting me kiss her cervix. My mind blanked, and I had no idea what was happening anymore as I proceeded to cum. And cum. And cum. And cum. And cum! And cum even more~! My voice turned hoarse, and I had no idea when the world had initially turned black. But I came back from it and back to the pleasure hell as I orgasmed again and again. Then the world turned black till it came back with force, and I orgasmed once again before blacking out. Then suddenly, I awoke in a tub with hot water all around me, and my body was no longer full. I was hot and relaxed, and I shivered despite the heat as my eyes fluttered open as rested in a b cup bosom as Amber held me tightly. I shivered as I felt like a used piece of meat, and her tight grip on me felt good. I trembled in her grip as my body screamed at me. My lower body was spent. My cock was flaccid, and my pussy and ass felt like it had been fucked raw. I was scared to think about if I had to go to the bathroom. ¡°You are awake; good,¡± Amber said with relief in her voice. ¡°I went overboard and lost myself in my pleasure without thought. You hit a couple of my fantasies at the same time. I never thought that I would find myself in a position to do it, and you kind of hit a kink of mine really hard. Honestly, I did not even know I could be turned on by the rancid smell of pussy cum and semen mixed together.¡± I looked up barely with the little strength I had in my body, and I could see her blushing and guilty face. I smiled softly and cuddled in the heat up closer with her. I needed this touch at the moment. I felt the care and guilt I sometimes felt when I did the same as her. Sometimes, you just lose yourself in that lust and desire when something just scratches an itch you did not even know you had. I could understand that well, as some of my darker fantasies were not normal. ¡°You''re fine,¡± I rasped out, my voice raw from screaming. ¡°You''re fine,¡± I corrected. I looked up into her eyes, and she looked down into mine. ¡°You went a little far, but you at least will take care of me tonight, right?¡± I asked. ¡°Absolutely. Actually, I know. Wait, no, this is not appropriate now. Do you want to just hold me in here, or do you want me to help you get ready for bed so we can cuddle to sleep?¡± ¡°I want to cuddle in here for a bit longer then in bed.¡± I pouted like a child. ¡°Okay,¡± Amber replied and started to stroke my hair softly. It felt amazing in a completely different pleasure from sex. I relaxed into her touch, and I started to feel the exhaustion. ¡°Bed,¡± I asked, not knowing how long I had remained held in her arms. Amber did not even complain and just got up with me in her arms, much to my surprise. I could feel muscles strain a bit, and I found out that Amber was stronger than she appeared as she effortlessly lifted me out of the tub. Then, dry me off after putting me on my feet while helping me stand. I barely registered the movements as she finished drying, picking me up, and bringing me out of the bathroom. Amber had me wrap my arms around her neck, and I could feel her neck also straining to carry me. I shivered in the slightly cold air of the apartment, but my eyes were only on Amber. I had no idea where we went, and she brought me to a new room with a massive bed and lay me in the bed. Then she followed me, wrapped her arms around me, and pulled me close. I could not help but feel so cared for at this time, and I wrapped my arms around hers. I looked at her face with a small smile, not even knowing what she was thinking or what I was thinking. I felt like I was on a cloud of post-subzone. The cloud fogged my head and robbed me of the faculties it took to think properly, and Amber leaned forward and kissed me, making me blush. Then pulled me close. Then nothing. We just looked at each other, and at some point, my eyes drifted closed. I fell asleep in her arms, feeling cared for. Chapter 96: Sudden Proposition The groan that escaped my lips was loud, and my throat hurt as I awoke for the first time in a long time unwatched. I could just lay there naked and not worry about the world, and I never realized how much I missed it for what it was. I relaxed into the bed and let my eyes flutter open, slowly bringing me back to the waking world. My dreams, which were on the edge of my memory, were extremely pleasant, and I sighed as I looked around the nice bedroom I found myself in. The Room was minimalist but not in that empty sort of way. Everything had its place in this room. The dresser to one side had a makeup mirror on it with a case of laid-out makeup. The Curtains were there explicitly to cover the window. The night table had a couple of chargers on it. The bookshelf is a series of books that were probably used for reading in bed. They were simple and not crowded in the least. I stretched and found myself wincing at the pain in my lower extremities. My cock was the biggest victim last night, although I knew my pussy was going to hurt once I started to walk. There was no way I was going to be walking properly this morning. I yawned, feeling sleepy, and looked at the nice king-size bed that I instantly knew was custom. It was longer than it should have been, and I got up and winced as my insides rubbed around, and they were raw from last night. I groaned and continued to move anyway. If I made it to the pod at home, I could skip all of the pain and live in the world of Galaxy Online until I healed up a bit more. Chuckling at my last thought, I finally got onto my feet and moved toward the door, opening it up. The sight that greeted me was amazing. I looked out over a balcony and into the city from hundreds of feet up. The morning sun was dying, the sky orange and I realized that something must have woken me up. I looked around and saw a minimalist living room and the sound of classical music that had an electronic edge. I wasn''t sure of the genre, but it was nice to hear. I took my first steps, and my body proved me right as I had to spread my legs to walk any distance. Knowing I would look funny, I continued to walk and found the stairs not far away. I walked down the steps. The minimalist design was beautiful, but there was just enough stuff to make the home feel lived in. The art she had was all of either war or BDSM. I could tell her loves in life, and I thought that was extremely interesting. Moving toward the soft music, I found the open concept easily led me to the Kitchen after passing a nice dining room. I walked in, and I saw Amber working over the stove, wearing nothing but an apron, listening to the music, and cooking something that was just starting to fill the kitchen with its scent. I smiled as I realized she was making Pancakes with something extra in them, and she was enjoying herself cooking. There was a little breakfast bar with an island on the other side for more cooking space, so I walked over to it. The stools did not look that comfortable till I sat on them and sunk in a bit more than I expected, getting a sigh of pleasure from taking the weight off my legs and my insides. Sitting was much better than standing at this time. ¡°Good Morning, Honey,¡± Amber said as she cooked without ever looking back. ¡°Good Morning, Amber,¡± I replied with a happy smile and leaned on my hands, which was the only thing that did not hurt. I pushed my breasts onto the counter, and the cool countertop was amazing on my breasts, and I sighed. ¡°Feeling sore? Never mind, I know you are,¡± Amber said, still not turning to me, ¡°I bet you are hungry, though. I did not expect you to wake up so quickly after I left the bed. I wanted to wake you up by being there with some delicious food. I guess my absence woke you up.¡± ¡°Mmm,¡± I agreed. I looked over Amber a bit more and noticed that she was more muscular than I had thought. It was very hidden, though, under the lightest layer of fat. It was a body that was quietly strong with a nice ass and perky breasts. I liked it a lot as I watched her all over as she moved from foot to foot. ¡°I believe it did,¡± I replied this time with words, ¡°And you are also right; I feel sore all over. Has anyone told you lately that your ass looks fucking amazing?¡± ¡°No, but I know it is,¡± Amber said, turning her head to look at me with a bright smile. ¡°You''re not mad at me losing myself last night?¡± ¡°I have been there. Something just scratches that itch, and you lose yourself to scratching it,¡± I grinned as she smiled before turning back to the food. ¡°But I would have been pissed if you did no aftercare after.¡± ¡°Something drastic would have to happen for me to skip it,¡± Amber said somberly. ¡°I love the aftercare, too. You looked amazing like that, and it gets me wet just thinking about it.¡± ¡°Mmm, I like it too. Cuddling is nice,¡± I replied wistfully. ¡°It is,¡± Amber said, turning around and putting a fat stack of chocolate and blueberry pancakes in front of me. She suddenly pulled out another plate from the oven, placed the plate on the spot beside me, and grabbed forks and knives before grabbing a glass bottle of real maple syrup, the expensive light type, too. ¡°And Breakfast is served,¡± Amber said with a grin, The smell was intoxicating, and I dug in, pouring syrup on the pancakes, and she produced butter and peanut butter to put on. ¡°The first one is syrup, but I am having peanut butter on the next one.¡± I took the first bite and moaned, ¡°Fuck, this is good,¡± with my mouth partially full and the sound of cutlery on plates filling the kitchen. I was moaning a bit and dug into the second pancake with peanut butter and then butter on the last, all of them with that nice expensive syrup. Then, to top it all off, a large glass of milk made me regret it all. I chugged it down, felt it expand in my stomach, and moaned in satisfaction. ¡°That was amazing,¡± I moaned. ¡°I did a great job on them.¡± Amber agreed, ¡°Can we talk for a bit in the living room?¡± ¡°Only if we cuddle.¡± ¡°I would not have it any other way.¡± We both got up, and I winced in pain; Amber chuckled and helped me a bit with walking. Still, it hurt, and we moved to the soft couches in the living room. I laid down on the couch, and Amber laid down with me, and we tangled our naked bodies together, and I wondered when she lost the apron. It didn''t matter as our feet touched each other and our breasts pressed together with our fingers interlaced. ¡°Wow, I haven''t had a lover who liked this in too long,¡± I commented, and Amber smiled. ¡°I can''t say I have had one either that liked this. But I want to talk seriously, Honey.¡± Amber began as I looked at her, and I felt a flutter in my heart as I got nervous. ¡°I know we just met, and I feel weird about asking this, but, Um, Do you want to be my official girlfriend? We don''t have to be exclusive, but I do want to call you mine.¡± Amber said, and she blushed hard for the first time, and I looked at her surprised. That was not something I was expecting. We had dated twice, and honestly, you could barely call either of them dates. We mostly had sex and enjoyed each other, and I found that it was hard to reply right away. I did not know, and I could see Amber blushing, waiting for my reply. I wanted to reply, ¡°But I am a switch.¡± ¡°And we don''t have to be exclusive. I like men too; you like men too. You fuck men and women, and I fuck men and women. We can be tops together when you are in the mood to top, and I will dominate you if you want to be dominated.¡± ¡°Sometimes, I am in the mood for a man to dominate me.¡± ¡°Then I will dominate you with him. I mean, we can also do things on our own.¡± ¡°You are serious. I mean, I thought you were serious, but I don''t think I have been in such an open-minded relationship.¡± ¡°Then try one with me.¡± ¡°But I am going to be gaming like hell the next couple of weeks. Even months, and I am not sure when I can stop.¡± ¡°So, we make dates, Schedule something, and enjoy each other''s company. I am a woman; I don''t always need you around me. We can have independent lives. In fact, I would hate not having an independent life from you.¡±Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. I opened and closed my mouth, and I blushed. I did not know relationships usually did not work out well for me. ¡°I- I, I, Fuck, Okay, Yes, I do, fuck you are sexy, and I don¡¯t want this to end if I am being honest. I think you are coming on a little strong, but I like you, and if things are open, then I can accept that.¡± The smile on Amber¡¯s face lit up, and she pulled me in for a kiss. Our bodies just united for a bit, and she held me close. I let myself relax once again, and I blushed as the kiss broke. I felt oddly giddy at the sudden confession now, and Amber smiled. ¡°You know, I am not one to confess like this. But when I opened up that latex last night, seeing those toys and knowing that you were a dominant submitting to me. It scratched something inside me, not that that is the only thing that I like about you. But I was turned on beyond belief. I lost myself in riding you. I wanted you more than ever. I know this makes me sound selfish, but you are the only one I have ever let stay over for the night since my first partner.¡± I could see that Amber was thinking something, and I had to ask, ¡°Do you mind if I ask?¡± ¡°I should tell you, I guess. It kind of hurts to think about. Remember that Accountant that I told you about when we first met?¡± ¡°To be honest, vaguely.¡± Amber chuckled, ¡°We were not exactly trying to learn that much about each other then. But he introduced me to this world of Bondage and showed me my sadistic side. Honestly, I miss him. He passed away from cancer, leaving me everything you see around you. Well, not everything; I renovated the place to fit my style. I needed his things gone to move on. It was a bit of a fling at first, but it turned into something serious while I was still learning that I could no longer be the woman I was in the past.¡± ¡°Wow, I am sorry to hear that.¡± I told her truthfully, ¡°I can''t say I understand your pain if I am being honest. I have never lost someone like that to me. I sympathize, but.¡± ¡°You don''t need to understand. I am on disability now. But I live like a Queen up here playing with men that I don''t let close, and I realized as I held you in the bathtub last night that I did not want you to go away. Maybe this is just new relationship feelings, but I did not want that distance from you as I have with others.¡± ¡°Amber,¡± I said, feeling tears in my eyes from her confessions. You are going to make me cry if you confess like that so much. I like you, too, but don''t dump the mountain on me. I want to get to know you a bit more slowly. Okay?¡± I said as the emotions were hitting me. ¡°Not that I don''t want to hear them, but I also need to get back to work later today and not be an emotional mess.¡± Amber laughed and kissed me. ¡°No, you are right. We can slowly learn more about each other. I want to do that with you.¡± ¡°I like the feeling of your skin on mine,¡± I said, smiling. Amber, this was a bit sudden, and I am going to let you know that my relationships usually end in disaster.¡± ¡°Do you mean to end it like that?¡± Amber asked. ¡°Well, no.¡± ¡°Then you and I can just try again. Now, relax with me for a bit.¡± The silence took over, and I smiled. We cuddled together for a while. I lost myself in her touch, and my eyes fluttered closed for a moment. At that moment, Amber shook me, and I saw her soft smile. ¡°Did you want to do anything else with the day? I let you nap in my arms for an hour, but you said you wanted to do other things.¡± ¡°Mmm,¡± I replied, feeling groggy, ¡°I only blinked.¡± ¡°You passed out, Honey.¡± ¡°Mmm, liar.¡± ¡°You were obviously asleep. But I don''t want to argue with you. What do you want to do?¡± ¡°Do you have something to sit outside for a bit and maybe some tea?¡± ¡°Absolutely. Think you can walk?¡± ¡°Don''t know until I try.¡± With that, Amber moved slowly, and our bodies started to untangle. It felt weird, and I missed the feeling of our bodies being tangled together. Amber got up and looked at me with a small smile, challenging me, which I moved to get up. Wincing as I got up, I yawned and got to my feet. The pain was still there, but as I took a step forward, it was not bad enough for me to require help. ¡°I¡¯m good.¡± ¡°Then let me make a couple of cups of tea quickly.¡± After a few minutes in the kitchen, Amber handed me a hot cup of tea with a nice, soothing smell and brought me over to an elevator covered by a door. A moment later, after going into the elevator and hitting the button, we stepped out into a wonderful little guard on top of the roof. It was enclosed in a greenhouse, and I gasped. ¡°Wow.¡± ¡°This is one of my hobbies,¡± Amber said, bringing me over to a comfy chair around a table. I sat down to look at all the flowers. There is still a place to go outside, but it is nicer inside. The sounds of the city are covered, and this has a better atmosphere.¡± ¡°I love it. Honestly.¡± ¡°Good,¡± Amber replied, leaning back in her chair. ¡°I will be going back to Galaxy Online when you go home. I think I might get addicted.¡± ¡°Already am.¡± ¡°Mmm¡± Then we just sat in silence, and it was nice. I relaxed truly, and my feelings were odd. I did not expect Amber''s sudden confession. She seemed more stoic than I did, and I thought we were just fooling around. Yes, I said some things before on our last date, but this was quicker than I imagined. I did not know if things were going to change, and I did not know if I wanted to change. I sat silent with my thoughts and finished my tea before standing up. ¡°I think I should be going home. I have to clean up and wash my latex outfit. I don''t want to let it settle for too long. Plus, I am a pro gamer. I need to finish this tutorial soon, and each hour here can be four hours in the game. I really enjoyed my time.¡± I said like I needed a reason. ¡°It¡¯s okay; I need to process my feelings, too. I wanted to jump you when you said yes. I could use some time to think as well. Want to make it a habit to meet at least once every two weeks? No less?¡± ¡°I would like more, but, yeah, I think that would be nice. I will text you when I get back.¡± ¡°Perfect, let me help you.¡± Then we got to action, and I collected my latex, and Amber ordered me an Uber. Soon, and after a bit of discussion, I was borrowing her panties and a bra that she said she would claim back from me later. Then I headed down in my clothing from yesterday and my latex in a large sealed bag. As I started going down the elevator, things started to hit me again, and I blushed hard. Why did I say yes? Should I have told her to wait? Should she ask me on the third date? Ask to move in with her. No, that last thought was fucking stupid! My emotions went out of control, and my body still hurt as I walked out of the elevator and found my Uber. I could not stop thinking about the blonde at the top of that tower I just left, and my face was heated. It had been a while since my last relationship, and they tended to end in a disaster of some sort with lots of yelling and screaming. Amber was this cool, Intelligent woman from the RCMP! Sure, she was retired now and on disability, but I had not seen a single thing that made her disabled. That last thought made me pause. What had disabled Amber? What was so debilitating that she could not work anymore? I had not seen it at all. Sure, there were invisible disabilities, but she was okay with the violence in the game, apparently. Still, I could not take PTSD off the list. Sure, she had been shot multiple times, and that was what disabled her. Did she have a problem with her spine? I could not help but wonder now, and I frowned, wondering more and more about it as I could not tell. Hell, she picked me up out of a tub and carried me to bed. I am not exactly light, either! Shaking my head, I decided to let her tell me in her own time. Would this relationship even become a thing? ¡°We are at the destination,¡± the Driver suddenly said loudly, trying to get my attention, and I looked at him startled. ¡°Thanks. Sorry, I was zoned out. Do I owe you anything?¡± ¡°Nah, the person paid already. Have a good day,¡± the driver said, and I nodded, getting out, thinking that guy was not too bad. I winced, stepping out, as my insides were still raw, as I walked in my heels back to my apartment. After about ten minutes, I finally unlocked my apartment door, and a giddy feeling hit me all over. I enjoyed this feeling, so I walked over to the sink and washed out the latex thoroughly. It stank of sex and sweat, and I blushed at the memories of that restaurant, and I had to admit to myself. That was the best night of being a Submissive I have ever had. Sure, some of it I did to myself, but Amber took me past the edge and ordered me like a queen. It was enjoyable, and I found myself wondering what it would be like to dominate a woman with her. I think it would be a lot of fun, and I smiled, wondering more and more what it would be like to top with her when I was in a top mood. I finished while lost in thought and decided, as I hung up my latex outfit to dry with a towel under it, to get on my computer and start going over the things that I left for me to study. Soon, I was immersed in American gun culture, manufacturing, and modification. It was extremely in-depth, and I found myself looking forward to logging in and starting. I almost walked over to my pod and jumped in with my current clothes. I blushed and grabbed a tank top and shorts before going back to my pod, hopping in, and logging in with a massive smile on my face. I could not wait to start weapon manufacturing. Chapter 97: Sexy Bitches Logging back into the universe, I turned the speed up to four to one and stretched as I became Sleepywonder. I wondered in the back of my head if maybe I should have changed my name to something more normal, but I shook my head, deciding that it should not matter. I got out of bed and almost hit the roof of the living quarters because I was not paying attention at the last moment. I breathed a sigh of relief before grabbing my clothing. I found a black tank top, gun holsters, and black cargo pants with a note, which I read and smiled. ¡°SleepyWonder, When you wake up, please put these on. I expect you to fulfill your promise before you go into the forest and we are going to buy me some sexy clothes and some for you as well. I do have a surprise for you, but I want to see you in some sexy clothes too. Captain Ura¡± I chuckled, put on the clothes while ducking down, and grabbed the handgun on the nightstand. I moved and noticed we had left the rest of my arsenal in the common area. I grabbed my sawed-off shotgun, and I reached out for my sniper rifle and paused. I felt an eye twitch as I left it there and went down the ladder to start cooking. I felt odd, not fully loaded up, and it was annoying. But I knew that if I was going out, I did not need to be fully loaded for war. I sighed, cooked a light meal, and finished it quickly as I heard something going on underneath me. The dock workers seemed to be still at work, and I stretched. Walking out to my workplace, I saw the boxes of guns all stacked up into three large piles. Instead of letting it stay like that, I quickly opened them up, sorted what they were, and organized the workplace all over. I took my time to identify and get ready to use all the tools for what they were like in some of the tutorials. Finishing took me just under an hour, but I wanted to be ready when I returned. Then, it was time for me to go find Ura and have fun. I would leave Nyava for later, and the waiting would do her good. I chuckled, knowing that the worst thing to a masochist was not being hurt but being told no by their sadist. The part I loved the most was being the one to say no. Chuckling, I made sure to put on my new knife and set aside my armor. I would have to take some time getting used to putting it on and taking it off. I never knew when an emergency would happen. Still, I walked out with fewer weapons than I wanted and headed out to find Ura looking over some data pads with a frown. ¡°Hey, I am awake, and I got the thing I wanted to do out of nowhere. You still up for it?¡± I asked as I entered the bridge. ¡°Ah! You startled me,¡± Ura said, then turned to me. ¡°I was looking into a second shipment when we reach our next destination. It seems that there is something going on in the background of the federation that is making our services particularly wanted. Suppose we follow your idea, and then we need a list of contacts that are not just the end users. I have a.¡± Ura paused to think about it, ¡°I would not call them a friend, but let''s say an associate that is closer to the manufacturing side of the business, and they just so happen to need people like us.¡± ¡°What''s the catch?¡± I asked. ¡°A stake.¡± ¡°Nah,¡± I said, shaking my head. ¡°There are no direct ties; in fact, tell them that. We are a budding enterprise, and our services are in demand. Do you have an issue finding cargo?¡± ¡°Nope, our services are in high demand. Just the good packages are riskier.¡± ¡°So you want a solid source of constant work with a group incentivized to back us up.¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± ¡°Still, no need for them to have a share. If they dislike that, then they can find someone else. Which I am sure they would be doing if you were one of the few still willing.¡± ¡°Hmmm,¡± Ura looked thoughtful. Then she started typing something into a console, hit a button harder than normal, and stood. ¡°Then I think that message should be about do it. They either do or don''t. You''re right. We can choose our cargo; they can''t choose a ship.¡± ¡°Then, shall we go?¡± ¡°Absolutely, I want to try on a couple of things, and I want to have you in something sexy,¡± Ura replied, her voice almost a purr. I smiled, and she looked me up and down as we walked beside me as we exited the ship. She seemed to do something quickly before leaving, and we walked out of the spaceport towards the AI cars. ¡°So, what are you doing with the two slaves I brought back?¡± I asked as I walked with her, and she smiled. ¡°That medical assistant has started to learn from Nyava, the poor girl. Nyava has been talking her ear off and going wildly about various things she needs to pay attention to. As for the other girl you brought back? I had her cleaning around the place away from important things. I am surprised you did not see her as you woke up.¡± ¡°I didn''t, but you never know. Even if she wanted to escape now, she would just go back to being a sex slave for a bunch of criminals. I plan on making her into something under my umbrella.¡± Ura chuckled, ¡°I look forward to that. I must say, though, Emily was an amazing pickup. She has been worth every credit we purchased for her. She has been essential in the repair of the engine. Seriously, her expertise was higher than she let on to the slave company. They picked up a steal when she got caught.¡± Grinning, I nodded, ¡°That is good to hear. I made some good cash but still not enough for various things. I also got a nice set of customized medium armor from my latest escapade.¡± ¡°I look forward to seeing it,¡± Ura replied with a slightly shy smile and blush. I grinned and wrapped my arm around her. I pulled her close and we finished walking out of the spaceport and got into a taxi. Soon with Ura putting in where we were going I just held onto her with my thoughts drifting.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Amber was now my girlfriend, and I still had Ura. I still did not know how to feel that I was like an NPC in a video game. One that I did not know if I could take into the main universe. There were six months of game time for the tutorial, and the contract automatically ended. So if she was not coming with me, that would suck. I liked her company and her pussy. No human could feel like that, and her breasts were a sight to behold. But she was also something else. I did not know what it was that made me attach myself to her. Something about her I just liked, but I did not know how to feel about that. There was so much to Ura that I just did not know about. Her service was definitely unconventional, but what would I know about conventional in this world? It was so damn complicated, and the fact that she was an NPC just made it all the weirder. ¡°Credit for your thoughts?¡± Ura suddenly asked. ¡°Sure, I am just thinking about what a tight little outfit I am going to put you in,¡± I told her with a grin, and she blushed. ¡°Any ideas?¡± Ura asked, her face a deeper tinge of purple. ¡°Yes, I thought about putting you in something that shouldn''t be counted as clothing. Then I wondered about turning you into cattle for my enjoyment. But those giant tits don''t produce milk for me to squeeze out.¡± Ura blushed even harder and looked away. ¡°You know, for our kind at least, there is a pill for that?¡± Ura said, not looking away, and my eyebrows raised. ¡°What?¡± ¡°The milk of our species is considered a rare delicacy, so our military is quite active because of it. Besides the point, our milk is said to be delicious, and¡± Ura¡¯s neck turned a purple shade, and I was startled. ¡°There are some pills to do that sort of thing. I, um, you know, um, would, um, not mind, you know, god,¡± Ura turned to me with a purple face. ¡°I would love it if you milked me!¡± What the fuck! I said that in jest! I opened my mouth, saw the blush on her face, and stopped myself from responding right away. I took a deep breath. ¡°I need to ask this, but does this have a second meaning to your species?¡± I asked. ¡°I do not want to remain ignorant if this means more to you than it does me.¡± Ura turned away. "Y¡ªyes, it does. It, um, means you want to pursue the person milking you. You want them to taste your milk to see if they like it¡ªnothing more than that.¡± ¡°So, it means we would be dating?¡± I asked suspiciously, and Ura nodded. ¡°Then I will take it that way, Sure,¡± I told her before I could think myself out of it. I really wanted to try that milk, and I had never tried in real life. This was going to be a novel experience, and from the expression on Ura¡¯s face, I could tell that this was a sort of confession. How did Gabin Corporation make such a character feel so real? An NPC felt like an actual person, and the smile on her face brightened up the taxi. ¡°I will get the pill then. It should be at the mall. They come in packs of ten. So, I would like to use them all.¡± ¡°How long do they last?¡± I asked. ¡°Umm, About two days. On day one, we need to be milked hard, but it stops pretty quickly. There is also a version that lasts a couple of hours instead, but,¡± Ura shook her head, ¡°It leaves the user extremely hyped up. It is more like a date rape drug, except we remember everything.¡± ¡°Oh, Okay,¡± I said and nodded. So, it probably made her hyper-sexual at the same time and probably stopped their ability to say no. ¡°I hope that never happened to you,¡± I said, feeling a little dumb saying so. Ura turned to me just as the taxi came to a stop. ¡°I know it feels like I might be rushing things, but I also really like being milked. It feels really good; it has been over five years since the last time I have been.¡± Ura told me just as we started to get out. ¡°Well, then, where are we going for clothing?¡± I asked. Ura smiled now, still blushing on her face, although I could see the excitement in her eyes. She was riding the high of me, saying yes to milking her, making me a bit suspicious that it might mean something more than she was letting on. ¡°The store is called Sexy Bitches, in the local dialect; no way am I even going to try and say the actual words,¡± Ura said, reaching out and pulling me to the store, ¡°To be honest with you, Sleepywonder, I was worried you might not like Milk play. Some cultures in the galaxy think a woman¡¯s milk is only for babies and that you should treat it as such. My culture obviously doesn''t,¡± Ura told me with a blush, and I looked at her surprised, making her chuckle. ¡°I can see you thinking that it might still mean more because of how I am acting or something. Sleepy, my last relationship, my boyfriend at the time turned out to be someone who hated the thought of my breasts being used for anything but children.¡± That made much more sense, but it showed me more that Ura was quite the NPC. I refused to believe Gabin Corporation could achieve this level of complexity with every character. They would not have the processor power, and the only other thing would be that this was some other damn world, but that is a stupid thought. How would they have updated the game if that was true? I needed badly to stop thinking about this or I might drive myself crazy. We quickly entered the tower, and Ura pulled me to the side, where a door opened for us, and we were in an elevator. ¡°Sexy Bitches,¡± Ura said loudly, and I could feel the floor move up and accelerate. Suddenly, I felt like we were going very fast, and just as suddenly as it accelerated, it slowed to a halt and opened up. Ura and I stepped out, and I could see dozens of stores all over with people walking around. Ura pulled me again, and I followed her with my hand in hers, thinking that I might need to do so just to ensure I didn''t get lost in the crowd. But we did not need to go far as we reached a blacked-out doorway with a sign all in symbols I did not know. We stepped in, and someone said something I did not understand before saying, ¡°Welcome to Sexy Bitches. If there is anything you need, please let me know,¡± A woman behind a counter said with a smile. ¡°Yes, can I get some,¡± Ura coughed and blushed, and the woman smiled. ¡°Yes, we have some. The drug does quite the sexual increase in the Delvon species. Of course, we have a small supply of them. How many?¡± The woman asked, and I looked over. I noticed her skin was a slight bubblegum pink, and I wondered what species she was when suddenly a hand from her back reached behind her and grabbed a box without her needing to turn back, and she underhanded and grabbed it toward her ¡®normal¡¯ hands. Then handed it to Ura, ¡°There is also extra strength if you want. For a lover that is really thirsty or if you want some for the fridge, but the hormones are a kick.¡± ¡°No thanks, I will take these,¡± Ura said with a blush, and the woman chuckled. ¡°Then I will stop teasing you. Now, go pick out some outfits; any you ¡®try out¡¯ must be purchased. I hope you enjoy your time at Sexy bitches, and please, ask me if you need any help.¡± Ura retreated, pulling me along. I chuckled, and Ura opened the package and quickly took a pill with a blush. ¡°Taking it now?¡± I asked, surprised. ¡°It takes time for me to fill up and for the hormones to settle in. We will be back before then. Although we won''t be able to play much here, though.¡± ¡°Then let''s start shopping,¡± I said with a grin. ¡°I''ll pick out clothes for you, and you for me?¡± I asked, and Ura¡¯s smile lit up the store, and she nodded. We both set out to find clothes for each other with large smiles on our faces. Chapter 98: Sexy times I was busy looking around and finding things I wanted Ura to wear when the woman from the front walked up to me. "Hey, Rish, Cat. Can I talk to you for a second?" The woman said. I turned to her while I was picking up a cow-patterned bikini, and I nodded. "Sure, what''s up? My name is Sleepy." I said, "Not Rish or cat." "Yeah, yeah. Would you mind if I asked what you are doing with a Polira?" the woman asked. "About to milk my bitch," I said with a grin. "You know that means they want to date you, right? Like seriously date you," The woman said. "Yeah, she told me; I don''t see a reason I should not date her; we get along great," I said, lying to myself a bit. She was a fucking NPC, and I felt like I was going crazy dating a computer program. "Are you like one of those cross-species species?" the woman asked curiously. "Rish''an Locktor has a surprisingly diverse ability to procreate with other species," I replied to what the race details told me. "Oh, you know, when they ask to get milked, it is super serious." "Again, she told me," I said, closing my eyes. Look, is there a reason other than the warning that you came to talk to me?" "Actually, yeah, let me show you some stuff that would work perfectly for her," she said. Then we proceeded to see a bunch of teal, white, black, and purple colored choices. I found a bunch that I loved. The teal I questioned if it would look good on her. I got some gold things and picked out some more for enjoyment. The woman walked away with a final warning, which I nodded to. I followed her to a large milking set with a tank to literally store a large amount of milk. I could not help but laugh and said, "You have it in a smaller size?" "Do you know the amount of milk those Polira make? At her size? How many times do you want to empty it?" The woman asked, and I raised my eyebrows. "Okay, I am picking up what you''re putting down. Is there something that I can store in a tank with a hose in it?" I asked. "We are on a small spaceship." "Ah, that makes sense. Well, I got what you need." She said after some thought, and when she showed me it, I smiled. It was smaller, had a milking device, and was stored in its own milking tank, which had a second one that you could swap to for those who produce a lot. If what she was saying was true, then Ura might need it. "Thanks. Now I am going to get some things." "Good luck, Rish," She said, and I sighed. I started to pick out some outfits and stack them in a pile. I loved her in jumpsuits, so I got one where the nipples and pussy could easily open up to designated people. I bought like six of them. Then I went for Bikini in various kinky forms. I found a cat outfit that I thought would be funny and kinky. A bunny outfit and a couple of other things to decorate her. Ura found me as I produced a pile, "What are you doing buying jumpsuits?" "They open for designated people in the right location," I told her, "and I have a milking machine for you." Ura blushed hard, "Oh, c- can it fit?" "I made sure to get one that packs into itself. Now, Ura, why don''t you put on that black jumpsuit and try it out?" I said, and Ura nodded. We took one out of the pile and walked over to the changing room, where I suddenly was greeted with a body suit. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "Put it on," she demanded as she stripped out of her current jumpsuit and put it into a black one that hugged her body tightly. She sealed it, and it looked amazing on her as it conformed to her body. And I was putting on a crotchless body suit and grinned. There was nothing but straps around my breasts, and my cock was out in the open with plenty of space for my balls. My ass and pussy were also out in the open, and I walked up to Ura. "Now, designate me as having access," I ordered, and Ura smiled and nodded. Then I walked up and grabbed her breasts, and the suit suddenly opened up, and my hand was grabbing her blue breasts, and I pulled them apart. My hands then went down to her pussy, and suddenly I found her dripping wet cunt, and Ura moaned. "Interesting. Now, you can be ready for me at any time while looking professional to others. Yet, still so free for me to come and take you without anyone knowing." "Amazing. "Yes, it is," I said and looked at her in the mirror, and she saw me grab her head and shove her against the wall and put my hard cock into her dripping cunt and shove it in and felt her special pussy all around me. It was amazing, and Ura moaned and pushed back, and I forced her head against the mirror as I took her from behind. Ura was completely into it, and I was pulling her hair as she screamed out in pleasure, and I felt her cum all over my cock. Something about being in public seemed to get to her this time as she was much easier to cum this time, and I moaned. Her pussy was tight, sucking me all over in that special way, and our bodies slapped hard against each other. I loved this feeling, and I leaned forward and thrust hard inside her till I bottomed out and released my seed deep in her, and she mewed for me. "Mmm, Yeah, we are going to need more of these," Ura moaned. "Yup, not going to lie, I want to take you back and put something more revealing on you." "We only just started, though." "How many outfits did you pick out?" "About ten?" "I got like twenty for you." "Mmm, can I get five more?" "Sure, then we head back, I have your whore pussy to fill up." "Mmm, sounds good." I was horny as hell, and I did not care to continue in the store. So we left the room, and I started to pick up the things that I wanted. I also ran over to the toys section while Ura was busy and picked up a chest and a bunch of fun things for later. I might not use them tonight, but I will definitely use them in the future. I got myself some shock devices, needles, vibrators, and things to fill the chest that I did not have to use. Nyava was a needy thing, and Ura was wonderful. So I took things over, and Ura smiled as I put the box in front of the woman who had just looked at us. "Okay, it''s all processed that want these things. Who is paying?" "I got it," Ura said. You haven''t taken your cut yet, so let me. I might not have much right now, but that will change real soon. Let''s go." Ura finished, and the woman gave us a discreet box to put everything in, and we headed out. The box followed us back to a car, and we put it into a larger AI taxi and headed back. Where Ura and I practically were fucking with how much we were making out and groping each other. Her milk started to leak out of her tits. It made her blush a nice purple, and I kissed her lips in return. It did not take us long to bring everything back to the ship. Then I tossed something from the box at Ura and grinned, "Wear that Cow. I am going to milk those massive Udders." Ura blushed, and she took off her Jumpsuit and put on what could only be called a bikini with a cow print on it that still showed her nipples. Her Blue breasts and her light purple nipples were hard as fuck, and she blushed as I changed into the bodysuit Ura wanted to see me in. It was a nanofiber suit that looked exactly like latex. It formed around my breasts and left my stomach and cleavage open. The opening went down around my cock and to my back. It was like two separate pieces of nanofiber to keep both my breasts apart and ran down my body around to my back, where they were stitched together with nanofiber strings. It looked good, and Ura was smiling as we moved up to the crew area, where I pushed her down onto the bed. Ura giggled, and I slapped her breast, making her squeak as milk suddenly shot out of her breast. To my surprise, the milk was pink. The way Ura was looking at me made my cock harder and harder. I jumped on her, grabbed her cow udder breast, and smashed my mouth down on it, wondering what her milk would taste like. I sucked hard, and Ura grabbed my head and moaned as I suddenly tasted her milk as she squirted a large amount into my mouth, filling it. Flavor blossomed in my mouth, and I moaned at the taste. I could not describe the taste, but fuck was it good. It was like taking a nice drink on a hot day; the texture was definitely milk, but the taste was something you had to taste to believe. I moaned and sucked on her breast hard, and she moaned, and her stomach pressed up against my cock, and I pulled back from her milky tit. "Fuck that is delicious ~!" I moaned as I finished swallowing, "How the fuck is it so good~!" I moaned, and I grabbed my hard throbbing cock, and I stuffed it into her cunt, and Ura moaned. "Mistress, Drink from me~! I feel so full; fill me with your cum as you drink my udders dry, MOOO~!" She moaned, and I thrust in and out of her hard and grabbed her tits hard, and milk squirted up and back down onto her body. I grabbed and bit her tit, making her scream in pleasure as the milk squirted into my mouth and filled me with that delightful taste. What the fuck was this. It was amazing~! I never thought about wanting to milk a bitch and fuck her, but I was now lost in the pleasure of thrusting into her. Her milk started to coat my body, and I thrust into her again and again. Ura screamed her pleasure as I milked her breasts, and she continued to squirt her milk all over and coated my body and my face. I felt a thrill, and I squeezed her breast with my hand over her nipple, and it gushed all over her body. Our bodies started to slide together as I thrust into her hard, and I felt her cum all over my cock, and I released a torrent of my cum inside of her. Ura shivered, and pink milk was all over. I bit her breast and more and more milk; I chugged down and filled my mouth. I then flipped her around atop me, and I smiled, "Fuck me as I suck your milk out bitch." "Yes, Mistress," Ura moaned, and she leaned forward and started to bounce on my cock while she shoved her nipples into my mouth, the pleasure was overwhelming and amazing. I fucked her, and she fucked me as milk sprayed all over. Her breasts were like nonstop juggs of milk that poured out by the liter. We fucked and fucked, and I came inside her again and again till we got into anal, and ura cried out, and milk sprayed all over. My stomach filled, and we just used the milk as a lubricant to fuel our depraved souls as we fucked hard and all over the compartment. I was left with Ura atop me, and I was smiling as milk leaked down my body and all over. The compartment was a mess, and Ura was atop me. She did not stop leaking, and I asked, "Hey, so how much do your breasts produce?" I asked. "Mmm, A dozen gallons; I am a bit too big compared to others of my species." "Holy shit, that is a lot. Why does it taste so good?" I asked. "Mmm, it is something that our biologists keep to themselves. But our milk is famed, I told you. We keep it for lovers, though. You really enjoyed it?" Ura asked. "It was fucking delicious." The smile on her face was bright, "Good, we can do this more later." "Agreed, want to fill up a tub sometime in the future and fuck in it?" The way Ura loooked at me told me that it was going to happen in the future and I grinned and we kissed. It tasted of her milk. Chapter 99: Crafting and Distractions After a lot of milky sex, the room was a disaster, So we cleaned up and started to wash the sheets, then pulled out the milking machine because Ura¡¯s breasts did not stop producing milk. Then began the draining of those breasts, which I found out was a lot. Five liters later, her breasts were empty. That was not the end of the Milk in her breasts either. It was an insane amount, and after another day, it produced another five liters. Now that milk stocked our fridge; I was drinking it for the hell of it while I ate. It was the weirdest thing to think about, and I chose not to think about it. Sometimes, that was the best course of action. After the cleanup from that sex, Ura and I did come to a conclusion from the mess. Order Hotel rooms and do it there where cleaning robots can take care of the mess. That would restrict the sexy milk times, but it was better than cleaning for hours after the fact. The Spaceship did not have room for a cleaning robot to clean up after these escapades. So, instead of going to have more and more sex, I turned to what I had initially wanted to do when I first logged in. I got to crafting. Now was the time for me to learn, and I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted a new pump shotgun for combat. It would be amazing to breach and battle groups of people without armor. I could think of a ton of uses for it, especially with ship combat, and so I started to tear apart guns and started to hop in and out of the game. Now was the time for single-minded focus. I started to practice my gun manufacturing to an extreme degree. Time started to skip for me as I did so, hopping in and out of the game. I quickly started to notice that things in the game were much more forgiving for certain things than those in the tutorials that I saw. The amount of Americans posting up how to craft and modify guns was truly stunning, and I was starting to take a crash course in precision machining. I was getting into pulling apart and putting together revolvers and shotguns, deciding to focus on these two specifically more than anything else. I wanted to learn traps as well, but those took a back seat to gun modification and creation. To make it even better, I purchased a bunch of common ingots of materials to make guns with and the tools to shape them. Day in and out, I hopped out of my pod, ran to my computer, and looked up the information I wanted in real life before hopping back into the game. I would practice in the game for hours upon hours before I would jump out and see how well I did compared to my memory and start all over again. When I was not jumping in and out of the game, I took small breaks to put up things for my job and eat. I also put on a dozen alarms to allocate a half hour to exercise so that I would keep my slim figure for my fans. My metabolism helps, but I was not going to rely on it completely. Sleep took me hard, and I would put on increasingly revealing outfits. The stream was paying slightly more than average lately, and my bills came up, and I watched my bank account empty to pay rent and utilities. It was a pain in my ass, but it was life. So, I continued to work without rest. Days passed in the game as quickly as they did started to in the real world. That brought about the first thing that brought me out of my crafting phase. The drydock workers had completed the repairs, and the smuggling ship was ready to take off and smuggle again. That brought me to bring my full arsenal to a meet-up with the next shipper. This was a supply of some narcotics to a tier-one planet with a bunch of specialized Microchips that would bring them a healthy payout as well. As we took control of the shipment, they were eying me up. I looked at them impassively and thought that maybe I should have brought my armor for this. Maybe in the future, I will bring more attention or respect. It was an Ambusher''s armor, and I did not want them to know what style of fighter I was. We took off from this planet after taking the large shipment that filled up our cargo hold. It was an odd feeling as I had spent so much time in the forest that I almost felt like I would miss the place. Then I scoffed and turned back to crafting. Crafting became my entire being for a time. I started to learn the tools to make each piece of a gun from scratch. It was intense, and there were so many small things that I had absolutely no confidence in doing it right now. The attempt, though, taught me more than I cared to realize, as it showed how incompetent of a gun manufacturer I was. I started to wish almost that I had gone the mass production route with gun manufacturing. It would have allowed me to mass produce and generalize my building in exchange for making less powerful, more generic weapons. That was not the route that I chose and I dug my teeth into the grind of using the in game tools to do things that the real world could not do. The tools though did not make things easier. It made it more precise and although the starting level was easier to achieve it seemed the skill ceiling was much higher to control it. It made me think sometimes that I could do the same in real life with the same tools. Then I remembered that these were sci-fi tools. They worked in this universe based on technology that I did not have the slightest understanding of. Days turned into almost a week, and I was brought out of my crafting haze between crafting, sleeping, eating, and working out, which I also added to my routine into the game. I did not know if it would help, but I thought that it should not hurt either. ¡°We are coming up on the planet,¡± Ura said, ¡°You have five hours. I need you for the drop-off. Also, are you going to train Emma?¡± ¡°Ah, shit, I forgot about her in my crafting haze. Not that I am really willing to leave it.¡± ¡°I get it; you''re practicing and learning. The amount of scrap around you, though, is starting to build. Also, did you pay your ¡®employer¡¯ for the contract?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Shit, no, I haven''t. I will get to it soon; thanks for reminding me. I will change pace and get ready for planet side.¡± I told her. ¡°We are not going to be here long. So no time for a bounty. I got a shipment to another tier-one planet. We are going to be busy going through some of the tougher security for larger bonuses. This one is going to be a nice payday, along with the next one. I don''t expect trouble from these guys; they have the illegal part of the shipment that needs to be gotten out. Another business has a last-minute shipment that some rich asshole paid top dollar to get as fast as possible.¡± ¡°Sounds like a payday,¡± I replied, standing up. ¡°It is, but I am worried anyway because being prepared is something that I have decided to be ever since I lost my ship that day,¡± Ura said, her voice cold, and I nodded. ¡°Understandable!¡± I exclaimed, ¡°Let me clean up, and I will be ready. Do you want me in armor?¡± ¡°Actually, yes, having an armored guard means you''re not just some random riffraff but an actual threat.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± So, with a new distraction, I left my Crafting haze and ate a large meal, cleaned off all the grime crafting brings, and suited up as we were coming in for a landing. Then, I took some time to talk to Emma. ¡°Emma, I forgot about you, if I am being honest. So what I want you to do to start is to buff up.¡± I told her, ¡°I need you stronger, so work out till you can carry at least twenty kilos in your arms without issue. This is for a gun that you will need to carry around while fighting. You need to be able to aim with it and run around with it while you do so. So that is the basic requirement for you to reach the next point of training.¡± ¡°I can do ten, no problem. Can''t I just be a sniper or something?¡± Emma asked. I shook my head, ¡°Nope, you need to reach that point. What if you have to run away with your rifle?¡± I asked, ¡°Move into position?¡± I asked, and she started to frown. I nodded, ¡°These are all things that you will have to do. You will need to position yourself and get yourself into places that people will not expect a sniper to be. Especially in an urban environment. What if the only way in some backwater world you need to run up six flights of stairs with your powerful fifteen-kilo rifle?¡±If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°I would not make it,¡± Emma said bluntly, and I nodded. ¡°Even with all my carrying capacity, I would struggle, but the difference is that I can shed weight and run up with only the necessities. We have not even talked about ammo and various other things you will have to carry on your person to be an effective combatant in modern warfare. Do you want to be a bounty hunter? It is different than some criminals in the forest where you wait for people to come to you. Us bounty hunters have to go out, hunt people down, and capture or kill them. It is a different ball game from defensive entrenchment that you are used to.¡± ¡°I will do my best,¡± Emma exclaimed and smiled, ¡°Thank you for giving me a goal!¡± ¡°I expect the best of you, Emma. I do not want to train you just to see you die on some simple assignment. I want to train you to be among the best. I might not know much more, but we can learn even more together once you catch up, Emma.¡± ¡°Yes, Ma¡¯am!¡± That finished my pep talk, and I joined Ura as she brought us back into the atmosphere. Then, customs raided our ship to check it for contraband. Watching while being armed and armored was something that I could tell they did not like. ¡°Excuse me, why do you look about ready to kill us?¡± A Contraband searcher asked, and I pulled off my helmet. ¡°I am not. You are part of the government. I am suited up, so I can escort the cargo just in case. It is valuable.¡± I said bluntly, and the guy looked at his readings and nodded. ¡°Sorry, having an armored carrier on something this small is not normal.¡± ¡°Because I am a bounty hunter, too. When we are stuck looking for cargo, I hunt bounties. It''s worth my time until my contract runs out. Now, we have a delivery time to uphold,¡± I said, trying to be friendly yet curt. After an hour, they cleared us, and we started to unload directly into a lorry. We took off with me in the back. This was a much larger lorry and could carry our entire cargo with a bit of extra space. The entire shipment was for one person, and I was ready with all my guns loaded up. Then, I activated the passive camo system and blended into a corner of the ship. It was amazing to watch as it covered everything in the holsters, leaving me with my assault rifle on my back, my sniper on the wall beside me, not really blending in, and my shotgun and pistol, along with extra ammo, hidden. When the air lorry landed at our destination, Ura came out to greet the people who were picking up this valuable cargo. Two purple, four-armed men and one armored guy walked up to Ura, smiling, as Ura looked them over. They did the same and did not see that she had a protector as well. ¡°Is everything here? " the man asked. ¡°You can prove your credentials first?¡± Ura said bluntly. The man walked forward, handing her a chip, which she promptly put into the reader. She frowned for a moment before smiling. ¡°Mr. Den-nis sol-nar, it looks like you are who this is bound for. But you have not paid up. Please pay before we hand over this cargo.¡± ¡°I think that without protection, this cargo is mine for free, Ura.¡± The purple man was smiling and the armored man started to lift his gun. I started to move as soon as I heard him say the word ¡®without,¡¯ and I walked up to the armored man, pulling out my handgun in one hand and the sawed-off shotgun in the other. Before they knew it, the shotgun pressed into the back of the purple man who had been talking and the handgun directly into the armor. ¡°Who said she was alone,¡± I said, already deactivating my camo. The room all froze, but Ura and she chuckled. ¡°Well, Mr. Den-nis sol-nar, It seems that you will be paying extra for the delivery fee, Don''t you believe?¡± Ura asked with a smile, pulling out the handgun from behind her and aiming it at the last man. ¡°I am not without protection myself as you seemed to think.¡± ¡°We can talk this over, correct?¡± he said with a light chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. ¡°Mr dipshit, you will pay an extra twenty-five percent of our delivery fee, or this ends with people dead, and that would not be us. We stand to make money either way.¡± My voice was cold and dark, and the guard started to lift his gun. So I pushed the muzzle against his neck harder, ¡°Move one more time, and I fucking shoot dipshit. I will not warn you again. Move one more fucking centemeter, I fucking dare you.¡± The armored guard froze again. ¡°F¡ªFine, we will pay you plus a ten percent increase,¡± the purple one said, and Ura chuckled. ¡°I don''t think you get it, Mr. Den-nis sol-nar. Twenty-five percent, and we will take your highly illegal contraband to its destination, you fuck wit. Seriously, what were you thinking.¡± Then Ura paused, ¡°You know what? I am canceling my delivery for you. Pay up for your shipment and get the fuck out of my face.¡± ¡°You can''t do that!¡± He yelled, and that was when it happened. The Guard moved, and my finger pulled the trigger on my handgun. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The first bullet at this range chewed into the armor, and the man tried to move. The first bullet did not kill him, but the second, third, and fourth, all really close to the broken armor, ripped in and killed the man as he dropped his gun and fell into a heap of broken body and armor. The man stood no chance and was hoping that I did not have the guts to pull the trigger. Stupid fucking NPC. ¡°I will pay, I WILL PAY PLEASE!¡± The purple man cried, and I pressed the muzzle of the shotgun further into his back. ¡°You have finished off my patience. Pay up, fuck off in the next five minutes while taking your cargo. If you are not done in five minutes, we are keeping all the extras for ourselves to sell to whom we want. I am sure the authorities would be interested in some of the things you might be holding if you don''t cooperate.¡± The two purple men took the cargo quickly, and we kept the dead guard, which Ura said was smarter. We did not take their illegal shipment, and Ura was on the phone. ¡°Don''t worry; I have a backup plan for our secret cargo. This one is a little more unpalatable, but still a hefty pay day.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± I asked, curious what could make Ura a little squeamish. ¡°An endorphins medicine. It''s Called Dreamy Skies. It was developed as a medicine, but for certain species, it is one hundred percent addictive. It will shut down your ability to create certain necessary chemicals, and the healing process is expensive, and rehab is hard, I hear. But the trip is said to be one of the best in the galaxy. Among the top ten from druggies, apparently. And it is very fucking illegal. I am not a fan of transporting this one over what that other guy had, but I am not going to take a cargo from someone who tried to rob me.¡± ¡°Fair enough. I am surprised that you allowed him to take it.¡± ¡°Offloading that last shipment would have been a pain in the ass. No, this was faster and more profitable. Let me contact the next person, and we will go pick up our next cargo. Why not check to see if that dead guard had a bounty?¡± I grinned, ¡°That is an excellent idea, Ura.¡± So I pulled out the tablet and ripped off the helmet, and to my surprise, the man was a human. It was weird how often I saw humans around the place. I wondered if there was a lore reason for that. But I snapped a picture, looked into it, and smiled. ¡ª Bounty: Zil Na¡¯Frah Race: Human Crimes: Murder, Torture, Assault, Extortion, Distribution of Narcotics Federation Bounty: 15500 Federation Credits Wanted Dead or Alive Note: This Man is suspected of being in an underground organization but has fallen off the map. Beware that the difficulty might not be equivalent to the payout. ¡ª ¡°Well, it seems that he did have a bounty!¡± I exclaimed, and Ura scoffed. ¡°Who do you think is part of these organizations, SleepyWonder?¡± Ura asked, ¡°They look legit on the surface, but that is to launder their Credits to spend it. They typically need people with bounties to do deals with us. Still fucking stupid of them.¡± ¡°Fair enough, we can drop him off at the ship when coming back and collect the bounty after stripping him of his shit. No need to waste, right?¡± We both chuckled. After an hour, the new clients, even with me hiding, did not try anything. I could tell that Ura found the Dreamy Skies to be distasteful, but credits first. We needed to expand fast. With our cargo secure, we flew back. Everything went smoothly after those dipshits, and after five hours and a supply run with full pockets was taken off, heading off the planet for another delivery. Now full of supplies for the trips and an extra bounty to my name, I had two days before the next destination. It was back to crafting for this lady. Chapter 100: Bunker Buster Leaving the pod, I stretched hard. I was exhausted and growing more exhausted by the day. That did not mean I was not having the fun of a lifetime. Virtual Reality Call of Duty can go fuck itself. Galaxy Online was amazing and rewarding. Having fun with Ura, exploring the Galaxy, and the morality were just so realistic. I liked that I was able to become a Smuggler and Bounty Hunter. People were joining the military, Peace Core, Federation, Joining the Pirates, and various other things. The list could go on forever from what I had been reading and doing myself. I noticed a thread on the internet that said people were starting to wonder if this was some type of Isekai reality where we entered a new reality through the pods. That prompted what I now see on my computer as I check out the forums. Gabin Corporation: We regret to inform you that what you have been seeing in Galaxy Online is not another universe. We are not wizards, but we also want our engineers, programmers, AI specialists, creative minds, and so many other people in our company to get the credit they deserve. The realistic NPCs in the game are NPCs. We created a robust set of parameters in the universe and built massive structures of Artificial intelligence to run simulated intelligence. We have made breakthroughs in Artificial intelligence but have not created true intelligence. We have just created extremely lifelike and as close to reality as we can. The compliments that people are giving us that they are indistinguishable are immensely satisfying. That being said, we hope that you are enjoying the game to the fullest. We are immensely satisfied with the community''s response after people stopped thinking the Tutorial was too hard. Galaxy Online is a place we hope to explore with you for years to come. Gabin Corporation. The announcement brought speculation and conspiracy theories which I found myself struggling to try not to believe. This statement made all of them worse because if you had created true artificial intelligence, would you try to hide it? Then again, why would they make a game with it instead of many, many other things? I shrugged. I was struggling to think of Ura as a computer program. Did that make me weak? Was there not a huge issue years ago with people falling in love with chatbots? I picked up my phone, looked at the time, and needed a distraction. I called Amber. Amber picked up after two rings, ¡°Hello, Honey. Long time no hear from you. ¡°I have been grinding hard,¡± I said honestly, ¡°And fucking an alien beauty,¡± I admitted. ¡°Oh, I did not know you could get that close with others in this game. There was this little twink half-goblin that I thought about trying out,¡± Amber replied, sounding intrigued. ¡°Mmmm, That sounds like you''re interested in playing the game and having sex in it.¡± ¡°The Characters feel real¡ªor at least certain ones. There are some that,¡± Amber paused. ¡°They don''t feel smart.¡±I don''t know, but it doesn''t matter at this moment. Are you going to be continuing the grind? I have been missing you if I am honest.¡± ¡°Well, I have gotten close to making my own gun out of ingots. That has been my goal. I want to create each piece of a gun from scratch and turn it into a weapon that shoots the bullet type I want. I think I will take a break or slow down for a couple of days after that.¡± ¡°Do you want me to plan something fun?¡± Amber asked. ¡°I was thinking of going to the bar, finding a treat for the both of us to sandwich, and taking them up to the room.¡± I replied with a grin she could not see, ¡°Or maybe we can fulfill that promise to Ola.¡± ¡°The black guard?¡± Amber asked, ¡°How big is he?¡± ¡°Big and knows how to use it. Same with his mouth, he is a Masochist, and he does not mind me either. Very open-minded.¡± ¡°You''re selling him to me easily. I have not tried that type of play in a while.¡± Amber paused, ¡°How is his stamina?¡± ¡°I think his record is six in a night. But that might be him bragging, although Ola doesn''t really do that.¡± ¡°You like him?¡± ¡°He is a great guy. Or I can get that woman that I might have impregnated and her cuck husband, and we can have fun. A Couple dominating another couple.¡± ¡°You know, Honey. You are amazing, such a breath of fresh air; I really do want to take you out on a date, too.¡± ¡°We can find some time in the coming days, but I am really busy right now.¡± ¡°I understand; this game is a lot of fun. I am enjoying myself a lot as an Agent.¡± ¡°I am very happy to hear that,¡± I honestly replied, ¡°You know, I got a quick idea. How about in a few days? You come here, and we can have a movie night. You and me, a two-hour movie, both of us know are trash, enjoy each other''s body with just some basic bitch Vanilla sex, just to let off some steam, then head home?¡± I said and continued quickly, ¡°Honestly, I would ask you to sleep over, but I have a sleep stream to do.¡± ¡°You have a place we can do that?¡± ¡°My bed,¡± I replied, ¡°Movie on my computer.¡± ¡°That was the least romantic invitation for a date if I ever have had one. Please come over, have sex with me, then get out.¡± Amber said bluntly.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. ¡°Well, we both know I am busy, and we both hate beating around the bush unless it is a woman''s bush. So I thought I would tell you how the night would go, and you can agree or not.¡± ¡°I want to do something kinky to you, though,¡± Amber suddenly pouted. ¡°Hmmm,¡± I thought about it, ¡°Then think of something,¡± I replied bluntly after coming up with nothing. ¡°You can do something to me that will get me in the mood to be dominated. Whatever you want as long as it does not pass those boundaries we already set forth.¡± ¡°Oh, I have an idea then. I might even like the consequences of it. It is a date, then. Let me know when you want me to come over. I will rock your world.¡± ¡°Promise is a promise,¡± I replied, ¡°I will talk to you later, Amber. I look forward to that date.¡± I hung up the phone, and I shivered. How was it that Amber got me so in a submissive mood? It was like I was having a hard time getting dominant around her lately. It was the energy, I think, she gave off or something. Instead of thinking about Amber and my mind now distracted I got to working out and eating a light meal. Then I went back to shower then bed. When I woke up in the morning and talked to my viewers, it seemed to grow as I looked increasingly tired. I got back into the game for a delivery rather than more crafting. Days went by in the game where I crafted and only took breaks for food and character upkeep and sometimes spent time with Ura. I was working hard, extremely hard, and suddenly, I was rewarded for my dedication, even though I had been doing it for over a week in the game. ¡ª-- New Trait Unlocked: Dedicated You put your mind to a task, and you are dedicated and diligent. Nothing distracts you for long, and you are task-driven. ¡ª-- Then I realized what had happened as I finished screwing in the last screw on the pump shotgun I had been working on. It was my first build, and while making the parts of the gun from scratch, I loaded a cartridge into it and smiled brightly. It fit like a damn glove, and I started to load twelve rounds into the gun from underneath. I modeled this shotgun from the Remington 870 model because it was my favorite from Call of Duty. I pumped the gun after loading it, and it quickly discharged the loaded round without issue. I pumped out every shell, and it was perfect, and the smile on my face probably was splitting my face. I could not believe how smooth it was on my first try, and another notification suddenly showed up. ¡ª-- Custom Shotgun Model(Rare) (Can be named) (Note: Cannot be named something with a trademark. Only a nickname; you can be subject to a temporary ban for going against TOS if you don''t do so) A Smooth pump-action shotgun created by an Artisan by hand. Each part is well made by a crafter making a gun from scratch for the first time. The Gun holds up to thirteen rounds in the extended barrel for increased accuracy. The Stock is crafted for the maker of the gun with a gas-controlled stock that greatly reduces recoil. Decreased recoil, loading, and accuracy. The Shotgun can only be properly modified by the creator. ¡ª--- ¡ª-- New Trait unlocked: Crafter You have successfully crafted an item of Common Quality or above. ¡ª--- ¡ª-- New Trait Unlocked: Artisan Crafter You have created an Item from Scratch. ¡ª-- ¡ª-- New Trait Unlocked: Uncommon Crafter You have successfully crafted an item of Uncommon Quality or above. ¡ª---- ¡ª-- New Trait Unlocked: Rare Crafter You have successfully crafted an item of Rare Quality or above. ¡ª-- ¡ª- New Trait Unlocked: Designer Successfully Crafted an Item without a blueprint of Uncommon Quality or higher. ¡ª- The sudden spam of notifications made me smile, and I could not help myself as I looked at the shotgun. I wanted to give it a good name and grinned as I thought of a good one for what I wanted to do with the gun. It was not a great name, but I liked it. ¡°I will name it the Bunker Buster.¡± I grinned and received a couple more notifications. ¡ª-- Bunker Buster(Rare) A Smooth pump-action shotgun created by an Artisan by hand. Each part is well made by a crafter making a gun from scratch for the first time. The Gun holds up to thirteen rounds in the extended barrel for increased accuracy. The Stock is crafted for the maker of the gun with a gas-controlled stock that greatly reduces recoil. Decreased recoil, loading, and accuracy. The shotgun can only be properly modified by the creator. ¡ª--- ¡ª-- New Trait Unlocked: Named Gun You hold a gun that you named yourself. It''s not a common occurrence. ¡ª--- I looked at the last trait, and I grinned. I looked at the gun. Although it was close to the Remington 870, it was not exactly the same. As I got into making guns, I started getting a little ahead of myself and found a stock crafting tutorial that helped lower recoil. I adopted that into the design and increased the shotgun''s length. I was thinking I would either go out with the shotgun or the sniper. The assault rifle can be used for both mid-range and far-range combat. The Shotgun was something I would have to get used to. But I named it after what I wanted to use it for. Busting open, people bunkered down. The truth is, while I was also reading and watching videos on the internet, I learned video games have lied to me for my entire life. Although sawed-off shotguns are close-range, actual shotguns can be far-range, too. They can be both depending on the ammo type. Armed with that knowledge, I made this gun for both. I could picture it now. I would load the first shell with Slug round meant for armor breaking and smashing through things. Then, three rounds of anti-personnel and status-type shots. Then, every fourth round, there is a slug for that range. That way, with that smooth pump action, I could pump out shells quickly and have accuracy and spread. I grinned viciously and heard a whistle, making me turn, ¡°Is that done?¡± Ura asked, looking impressed at my new shotgun. ¡°Well, after taking apart shotguns and putting them together along with a little outside ingenuity,¡± I said, referring to online tutorials, ¡°I made something I think I will love to use. I need to try it out before I can truly say it is complete,¡± I grinned, ¡°but I want to say it is really deadly.¡± ¡°Don''t try it on the ship; we are due for orbit in half a day. You can try it out on a shooting range there.¡± I grinned, ¡°I look forward to it.¡± Chapter 101: Smugglers Needed Day in and out, for the next five days, I gamed hard, extremely hard. Ura was going from place to place with a setup route that was taking us all over the sector with high-end deliveries. Nothing was off the table for us to smuggle into first-class planets. Ura was confident we could do a core world smuggling operation, but she did not want to risk the surveillance that would happen on those planets. One of the things with dealing in the black market I learned was how fucking stupid Ura was for not having me around. Or some type of protection when she first started, and I poked at her sometimes, ¡°Come on, Ura, knowing what we know now, it was kind of stupid to think with those previous pirate bitches that you were going to be a smuggler.¡± Ura blushed a nice purple, and she glared at me, ¡°I get it,¡± Ura said, ¡°I thought smuggling was going to be a lot fewer fights. I have no idea why so many people think they can burn me!¡± Ura complained that another attempt to steal cargo was made on our last run on a plant called Haven Six. It was a forest planet that turned into a Tier One planet because of the natural resources among the trees. The Cities were in the skies on Counter-grav plates with massive resource-gathering capabilities. Almost the entire economy was made through lumber and carefully harvested minerals. The Lumber was prized for how it looked and the unique metal attributes it pulled up. Plus, it made a lot of Mages Staves as an excellent mage Conductor. All of which meant that the planet strictly controlled the ins and outs of traffic there. Which led to us having an issue with the underground there that dealt drugs. The problem was that no one told Ura that the people we were delivering to were smoking their own fucking stash. We delivered them a massive cargo container full of their addiction, M78521, as Nyava would call it. Or on the streets, Deepblue. It was a trip that sent you into the depths of the ocean, they said with blitz out eyes and tried to get Ura to take it. When that did not happen, they tried to say they did not have the money. Then they attempted to attack Ura, which my shotgun dealt with quickly, scaring the rest. I killed a few more as they ran while capturing their leader. We then stole their money, killed the leader, and sold it to another gang on the planet, making double. Unfortunately, we found ourselves doing this once in a while. It was stupid, but those tweakers fucking took a bunch of federation credits from some stupid rich kid they got high. Then they ordered the delivery of the stuff from a friend of a friend, which was how we ended up there. That is what the gang we sold the drugs said after looking into it. Or that was what they told Ura just as we reached this Beach destination! Planet Golden Sands twelve. We had a shipment full of legit wood for the planet¡¯s manufacturing base and a much more clandestine shipment of DRUGS! I was finding that drugs were probably going to be a major shipping channel of ours, and this one was called Green Haze, made on the planet we just came from. I was in my armor, covered head to toe in reflective optical camouflage meant for ambushing. Covered in said camouflage, I had a sawed-off shotgun at my back just above my hips and a handgun in the holster that people could not see, but I memorized where it was. On my shoulder, I had a shotgun, and on the other, an assault rifle. I was nicely kitted out, but I missed my sniper rifle. ¡°We are going to that cave system there,¡± Ura pointed out as we drove our Airlorry out, and I sighed. It looked like a trap. ¡°That is a trap,¡± I said bluntly, and Ura smiled at me, ¡°Well, I do have another buyer already. ¡°Then why are we even dealing with this shit?¡± I asked bluntly. ¡°Because we have a reputation to uphold.¡± I sighed, and Ura was right. I looked at the destination, and it was just outside the city, in the desert sands, in a small cave¡ªwell, relatively small compared to others in the area. We pulled up in the skimmer truck, pulled the contents of the shipment, and pulled up to the entrance, where we got out. There was an overhang over the cave entrance, which was nice as it blocked us from overhead sight. I jumped out and looked around, not seeing anything obvious while Ura contacted the buyers. I moved into the corner. My armor worked passively, and I stood just to the side with my assault rifle in my hands. I blended into the background, and Ura got out not long after me with a handgun in her hand. She walked out, sighed, and started to tap her foot as she waited. ¡°Well, well, well, a Beauty is waiting for us. How about you come inside for some fun,¡± a blue male said, coming out. Ura¡¯s eyebrows raised in surprise at seeing her own species here. ¡°Those breasts are massive~! I would love to stuff my face in them!¡± Another guy said, coming out, and this time, it was a human with one more walking out. This time, it was a woman with four legs who was carrying a shorter torso. Those muscles were fucking thick, though. She carried a fucking minigun in her hands, and I had to say, I was fucking impressed. ¡°I have my own lover with a thick cock to please me,¡± Ura said, ¡°You want your shit, pay me.¡± Ura held out her hand for the chip, and the two guys looked at each other. ¡°You are out here alone. ¡°Correction, I am not out here alone. You think I am that fucking stupid?¡± Ura asked, rolling her eyes, ¡°I have my back up, and they are around. Just in case stupid people like you continue that sentence, I have to do something about it. Please, just fucking pay. Let me go home without my partner in crime being able to laugh at me about another deal going south.¡± I could hear the exasperation in her voice, as this was the third time in a row they had attacked us. ¡°I don''t see them,¡± The Human said with a sneer, and Ura sighed heavily. ¡°Grunk,¡± The woman suddenly said, and I could see her looking at me, and I was not holding my assault rifle in ready position from the side. She could see that the gun was aimed at her, and there was no way a minigun would win when I just had to press the trigger. ¡°Pay, and let¡¯s go. Stop fucking with them.¡± The woman''s voice was feminine yet deep, and Ura smiled. ¡°At least one of you is smart.¡± ¡°An¡¯ gie, you are being paranoid; she is out here alone. ¡°Grunk, stop trying to get us killed,¡± the woman exclaimed. The blue guy finally followed her gaze, and I saw him turn a very light shade of pink, which must be going pale for Ura¡¯s species. ¡°Oh.¡± ¡°Why should I?¡± The human complained, ¡°We outnumber her!¡± I decided to finally jump in, ¡°Because I am aiming a fucking assault rifle at your friend''s dipshit. That is why they already realized we have the jump on you instead of the other fucking way around. Like, look at these idiots, Ura.¡± I said, not moving my sight from them, and the human jumped and picked up his handgun, starting to try and aim at me. I put my gun to burst and quickly changed my aim as he pulled the trigger at nothing, and I ripped three bullets into him in return. He fell to the sandy ground, one in the side, chest, and head, and the other two put up their hands in surrender. The woman dropped the minigun, and I sighed. ¡°Look, Ura, I was right again.¡± ¡°I GET IT!¡± Ura snapped, ¡°Fuck!¡± I chuckled. ¡°Okay, you put down your guns; I don''t care about the dead guy. Pay us for the shipment with a ten percent extra for ridding you of such a fucking moron, or you pay us the normal amount, and you both live, but we keep the stuff for selling to your rivals. How does that sound.¡± ¡°Here is the money,¡± the blue guy said, walking toward Ura. I watched his movements carefully. She took a chip from him, and then Ura nodded, ¡°A nice clandestine drop account without the extra ten percent to keep the drugs,¡± Ura said. ¡°Look, can we pay you back? That was the last of the credits we had.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°Nope,¡± I interjected, ¡°You do not try to rip us off and not pay the penalty. We also don''t want you leaving our sight. You have two minutes, at most, to wire us more money, or we leave with that container of Green Haze.¡± The woman shrugged, ¡°I got no issue; please don''t kill me; I''m only a mercenary.¡± She said bluntly. I looked at her, and she stepped away from her gun. Something told me to be more wary of her, though, so I kept an eye on her while the guy pulled out a small tablet and started to do something about it. ¡°Steve, I need ten percent more for the delivery. Grunk is dead because he tried to hijack the shipment and failed. Now they are demanding ten percent more to deal with this issue.¡± ¡°You fucking morons, I told you never to try and steal a shipment unless you are able to.¡± the voice sneered. ¡°One minute left, dipshit.¡± ¡°Transferring the funds to the middle account. Give us our drugs,¡± The voice said, and Ura looked at her tablet, then turned to me and nodded. ¡°Good,¡± Ura said with an exasperated sigh. ¡°I will no longer be dealing with you idiots again. ¡°How about a shipment worth double that to a Core world?¡± The Voice said, and Ura started to laugh. They jumped into the skimmer, and suddenly, the skimmer dumped the cargo container. ¡°Nope, I''m not interested,¡± Ura said and looked at me. I moved slowly as she got the skimmer ready to go. ¡°I can make it worth your while!¡± The Voice said. ¡°Look,¡± I said, ¡°You just tried to steal our shipment, but it''s not happening.¡± I said, ¡°I won''t allow her to. Next time, do your criminal enterprise legitimately. Trust is the backbone of smuggling. We can always ride off to the sunset with the deposit and shipment and make more money. Yet here we are, delivering the goods,¡± I sneered, ¡°You burned a shipper in a market with barely any,¡± I got in the Skimmer, and Ura took off, and I watched, and the woman grabbed her minigun, and I watched her from a distance to see what she would do. I was tempted to take it but decided against it. I was not a heavy weapons person, and I did not make the gun myself. With that, we were out of sight, and Ura looked at me with a blush. " Are you ready to pick up the shipment we are smuggling out of here?¡± ¡°At least the pickups haven''t been stupid, right?¡± Ura smiled, and I rolled my eyes as I looked at the woman in the driver''s seat. She had large E-cup breasts held tightly in a black and white jumpsuit conditioned to assist with hot weather, and my armor did the same. It regulated my body heat and dissipated it into the air to match the temperature outside to help camouflage me. I looked at the Blue woman, who was a lover and an NPC, and I sighed as we drove to the next destination. Which was another cave. I got out as we arrived, and I pulled out my shotgun. This place looked more professional. With a large metal gate and another overhang that blocked the door from sight and made a large area of shade. The doors stationed two guards and those two guards came out immediately to greet us. Both were unarmored, though, and I looked at them with an eye to kill them if they were an issue. They eyed me, and I could see their guards go up quickly. They were afraid of the woman in the suit of passive optical camouflage standing before them. If we disengaged from a firefight, they knew I would be a menace in the sands of this planet, and one of them radioed in. Ura pulled up to the cave, got out, and sighed. Soon, a golden-looking woman came out of the metal doors with four arms, and I was surprised. ¡°Holy shit, an asura?¡± Ura said, surprised. ¡°Asura?¡± ¡°A Species that excels in hand-to-hand combat. They are like Rish in many ways, except instead of guns, they are crazy about hand-to-hand combat.¡± Interesting. This game just keeps getting more and more in-depth. Then again, the species list on the game was insanely long to the point of indecision. ¡°Ura, I am Gladine,¡± The Asura said, walking up, ¡°You are the smuggler?¡± She asked, and Ura nodded, and the woman smiled, ¡°Good, you have protection. Is that a rish?¡± The woman asked a moment later. ¡°My colleague is of sound mind,¡± Ura reassured, and the Asura laughed. ¡°Us Asura, find what happened to the Rish¡¯an Locktor to be a real shame.¡± Gladine said, ¡°Unlike our home planet being found by the Federation and being uplifted in return for three hundred years of joining their military, they were invaded. A real shame; I could only wonder what it would have looked like to see a species of such single-minded focus like ours joining the community.¡± That was a surprise. ¡°That is a scary thought,¡± Ura said with a smile, ¡°A million Rish¡¯an Locktor and their expertise in weaponry?¡± ¡°It would be a glorious battle,¡± The golden woman replied. ¡°We Asura would have had a glorious battle with equally ferocious people who take their form of combat as we took our firsts. It really is too bad about the outcome. I like you, Ura, for bringing such a glorious species with you!¡± ¡°Thank you?¡± ¡°I understand that you are confused,¡± Gladine said. ¡°I have a shipment of Firearms to a rebel movement that needs to be moved. They are ¡®freedom fighters¡¯,¡± the woman scoffed, ¡°who believe that fighting against the federation should not be protecting their small planet.¡± So terrorists. ¡°This shipment is going to a Tier one Homeworld; their cause is stupid, but battle nonetheless.is fun. I will help them battle a little better to keep the federation on their toes. In fact,¡± Gladine looked at me, then Ura. ¡°How are you in transporting goods, both legal and illegal?¡± Gladine asked, ¡°Our companies have been getting more and more clandestine shipments needing to be done, but in this sector of space with the recent round-ups of Smugglers, there are few like you. I was pleasantly surprised to see your recommendation from our mutual acquaintance.¡± ¡°Let''s say I have no issues getting things onto planets; it is transporting things around afterward where issues arise,¡± Ura replied. ¡°Ah, that is why you do not mind Teir one planet but not Core worlds. Is this your motto moving forward?¡± ¡°Correct.¡± ¡°Excellent,¡± the golden woman smiled. See, I have legitimate and clandestine businesses, and I need transportation. Transportation that,¡± she grinned. ¡°Has a degree of separation from my companies. Like you, I cannot hold any form of attachment to them other than using them as shipping. That way, if one of us is caught, the other has no idea about what the other was doing.¡± ¡°Ah, you are looking for a transportation company that you can burn if we are caught, and they can do the same if you are caught.¡± ¡°Excellent! I love a woman who understands exactly what I am getting at.¡± The Asura said with a golden smile. ¡°Now, I am willing to pay a little extra for protection, too. This Rish,¡± She pointed at me, ¡°Is an acceptable level of protection for my shipments. Not ideal, but acceptable. Do you have any plans on expanding?¡± ¡°Not unless we have a windfall of credits in the near future. Otherwise, we must pay debts,¡± Ura replied, and the woman looked thoughtful. ¡°Look, This area of space is becoming more turbulent. Many people are getting angry at the federation, and populations in tier one and two worlds are jealous of the Core worlder''s wealth that they are not getting. I stand to make a lot of credits by playing both sides, but I need shipping, which, as we just discussed, can be burned if either of us is found out. You have a ship that I asked around with some of my contacts and has no known suspicion of smuggling. Seriously impressive design to get a cargo container full of contraband into a tier-one planet. So,¡± The woman took a deep breath and looked at us, ¡°I have an offer. I will give you a loan that I want to be paid in services. I will keep ten percent of the shipping fee as repayment to the loans till they are paid off at a five percent interest fee. You get at least two or three more ships within a year, with protection, and you can even do cargo for others. This also will be completely off the record.¡± ¡°What?¡± Ura said, surprised. ¡°You want to pay us to expand?¡± ¡°Look, so far, I have looked into records for smugglers; you have a clean rap sheet,¡± She said and shrugged, ¡°Your profits look completely legit, and that recent dry docking means you take care of your ships. I NEED Smugglers. There is no supply but a lot of demand. You Prioritize my shipping needs over others and use fast, small ships that don''t get robbed; I gain more than I lose from this. I need people shipping my stuff. I can only take legit business at this moment!¡± The woman shook her head, ¡°Do you understand how bad for business that is? That there are no criminals getting my products?¡± the woman complained, ¡°My clients fight the authorities, which makes the authorities purchase my more expensive products, which makes make my other clients purchase more weaponry to fight the authorities. I have not had an illegal shipment leave in six months, which is not okay. Peace is bad for business, and my total profit is dropping. This is the opportunity for both of us to profit.¡± I looked at Ura, shocked, and she looked at me. Was this deal too good to be true? Or a trap? ¡°Okay,¡± I cut in, and the Asura looked at me, ¡°We need to discuss this without you around. How about we take the shipment and put it on our ship, with our current deal hatched out, and then we find another delivery back here to have a nice conversation about our decision? It should be no more than a week. There are many things that we need to consider, such as how we are going to hide our smuggling ships. Plausible deniability. Making sure that we can toss aside smugglers that might get caught without ourselves being burned. Something to cover us from you. All of those things.¡± ¡°Are you really a Rish? I never met one who knew smuggling as much as you. But I guess I heard that enough about my species, too.¡± Gladine smiled and turned to me. ¡°You are right; I am getting ahead of myself. I would enjoy it if you came to me with a plan and what you want. We will make whatever money I transfer a loan paid in services.¡± ¡°I think both services and credits,¡± I said back. ¡°I hate to say it, but if we work only for you so that we don''t incur interest, then we will look like your exclusive shippers, and that will mean we cannot burn each other. We need to look like Independents from each other.¡± The Golden Asura smiled with bright gold teeth and turned to Ura with her light blue eyes, ¡°I like your Rish. I hope that we will be doing business with you.¡± ¡°I look forward to talking to you in the future,¡± Ura said with a grin, but we were all thinking about different things as the Woman paid the deposit for shipping and we loaded up a highly illegal shipment of firearms and munitions for a group of people looking to make trouble. When we finished loading the goods, Ura and I left toward our ship. We both knew a conversation would be needed. Chapter 102: Time To Act When we returned to the spaceship, Ura and I locked ourselves into the bridge, and she looked at me seriously. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± she asked. ¡°I think that it is an opportunity and a major risk at the same time,¡± I replied bluntly, ¡°Is the other cargo on the way?¡± I asked. ¡°The legit cargo will be here in the next hour. The question is more about whether we should change our plans. We have no trusted associates. We have not trusted Bounty hunters other than me. We have nothing that we can use to expand off of.¡± ¡°What we do have, though, is an ability to start the legit side of the business,¡± Ura said, ¡°A cover for us, and we can build that side while we train a core of slaves for our darker side of the business. We can train the bounty hunters and have them going around with legitimate business matters. We can even use those bounty hunters to train the ones we will use for the smuggling operations.¡± ¡°Hmmm, do you have a source to make more ships like this?¡± I asked, ¡°There is a manufacturing time correct?¡± Ura smiled in reply, ¡°Yes, I do. I have a friend who likes to ¡®Lose¡¯ military assets like this ship,¡± She said, her smile growing. It is expensive, but I can get a couple more ships in the short term, although it would take months for those to come in.¡± ¡°How long?¡± I asked. ¡°Months, for one. Probably six months for more than two. It takes a lot for him to lose one of these ships. However, they also need to have the right crew modify them. But he can do it within two years,¡± Ura said, ¡°Well, five of them, we can get in total probably no more. I would have to discuss it with my contact, though.¡± ¡°So, first, this ship is obviously a military asset that was ¡®lost¡¯ and also modified probably in a military shipyard.¡± I said, frowning, ¡°That means.¡± Ura cut in as I was about to continue, ¡°Don''t worry about the lost property. A huge part of my homeworld''s military makes money from these things. It is the corrupt side of our military, and it lines the bonuses and some research technologies that could not be seen on the books of our homeworld so that they could be hidden from the federation.¡± Ura said, and she chuckled. ¡°There is much about this universe that I do not understand.¡± I told Ura, ¡°So you''re saying that your old Military sells to people like us? Smugglers and Pirates?¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Ura said, ¡°Funds a bunch of black projects, and it lines the pockets of a bunch of Admirals. It is useful, though. More useful for us.¡± ¡°Okay, how long to get in contact with him?¡± I asked. ¡°Oh, I can do it now,¡± Ura said. ¡°So, if we are going to do this, we are going to need a combination of smuggling ships and normal ships.¡± ¡°Look, let''s see if I can even get the ships,¡± Ura said, starting to input something into the panel. Then she leaned back, ¡°I just gave him a call. Give it a minute.¡± I suddenly thought about how these calls go through and how the universal communication network works. Was there an explanation? I was about to ask when suddenly I heard someone picking up. ¡°Ura, I did not expect to hear from you so soon. How are you enjoying Civie life?¡± A heavy male voice said. ¡°Interesting, I have been enjoying the ship,¡± Ura replied happily. ¡°Good. How are the modifications I made for you?¡± ¡°Perfect,¡± Ura said, and I could see the smile on her face, ¡°Now, I have a question for you, and I would love to hear your reply.¡± ¡°Well, I am sure you would if you asked a question. What is the question that the best pilot in our small military needs to know?¡± Ura blushed and chuckled, ¡°I wasn''t the best, but you can compliment me anytime you want. I wanted to ask if you are looking to offload more ships, some with a special modification and some without.¡± ¡°Making that many Credits?!¡± The man exclaimed in his gruff voice. ¡°Um, actually, yes. The current Admiral In charge of the Reserve is a new initiate. The last one just retired a few months back in his expensive Villa. That means that fresh palms moved around and into certain positions that needed those new luxury Villas of their own. This means there is a premium for those who grease the right palms. The issue is that not many have been buying recently. The Federation has swept this region of space not long ago. People are still shy.¡± Ura was smiling even larger, ¡°Well, how long would it take to get the right modifications like the one you got for me? And how many of them can you get me?¡± ¡°Well, that is a fun question. It depends. Do you want the full extent? Or just something that will get you by for the next couple of years.¡± ¡°I want top-of-the-line like this baby,¡± Ura told him. ¡°Hmmm, I have more dock space,¡± the man said, ¡°Again, right palms greased and the right boys. Do you want to lessen the bribes needed? You''re looking at thirteen months for five modified ships. If you pay more for bribes, I can lower it a bit. But,¡± The man chuckled, ¡°Five at the lowest possible if you''re looking for numbers. Unlimited Cash flow, no more than ten,¡± The man said. ¡°But you''re looking at a lot of greased palms to do that.¡±Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. ¡°What about unmodified ships of the same type, and you know everything appropriately deleted from ever existing.¡± ¡°Oh, that comes with everything. You know they don''t want the Federation to learn. Um,¡± the man started to type. Ura, my fine, fine girl, how many do you want?¡± He asked. ¡°With a thirty percent increase on all of them, you can have as many top-of-the-line small cargo ships as you want. You know these things are for jumping into warzones and out with emergency supplies, right?¡± ¡°They are also excellent smugglers and drastically reduce insurance rates. I have been finding a nice profit margin. Even after loan payments.¡± ¡°You know there will not be a loan payment for this, right? We need the money upfront.¡± ¡°Do I sound like an Idiot,¡± Ura replied. ¡°So you have interest?¡± ¡°I am interested, but I would love it if you could send me a list price, and I only want new ships.¡± ¡°Only the best for the best,¡± the man replied. I think the graft here is going to get worse.¡± The man chuckled, ¡°Come join before everything kicks into high gear and the pirates learn that even close to top-of-the-line stuff is on sale even to them.¡± ¡°THAT BAD?¡± Ura exclaimed, surprised. ¡°The new Admiral is much greedier than the last one, if you can believe it. I am just a humble person who has to pay his superiors.¡± ¡°I will call you soon, no more than a couple of weeks, okay? Save me a spot, or wait to advertise for me, okay? I will let you know as soon as I can.¡± ¡°I can wait on the modification ships. But for the others, I have a Deep Graft sale going on. As many as I can sell and the boys can make.¡± ¡°It''s insane hearing that.¡± Ura replied, ¡°Talk to you soon.¡± With that, Ura hung up and looked at me, ¡°That is insane to hear. The new Reserve admiral can be even greedier than the last. If that is true, the federation is going to pick up on it soon. We need to get our stuff quickly before the opportunity closes. Too much greed gets dipshits like my friend caught,¡± Ura said. ¡°So what are you saying?¡± I asked. ¡°I mean, this is a contact I am going to have to burn soon.¡± She said, ¡°We don''t need to worry about information leaking. The Admirals and people above my friend will take care of him for us. That guy is incredibly good at his job and incredibly corrupt, but I know people above him. They have him dead the moment that the federation starts sniffing around.¡± ¡°So we need to place our order soon,¡± I said. ¡°I mean, we might need to burn extra Credits for stuff we might not get,¡± Ura said, her voice hard, ¡°This is what happens when people get too greedy. I was hoping for a lower number when he was talking. Sure, what he said sounded nice, but¡± She frowned. Ura shook her head, ¡°What it sounds like is happening is that this Admiral who was supposed to be funding the black projects in exchange for taking a little off the top is taking more than he needs. They picked incorrectly for their Admiral of the Reserve Navy. What that Asura said is even more true. I think this part of the galaxy is about to blow up in conflict. There will be more starships out and about, and if we have the ships to be the smugglers for the dipshits on the ground, we could make enough money by the end of the conflict to not only pay off all our debts. But to start looking at bigger cargo carriers.¡± Surprised, I looked at her, thought about it, and sighed. ¡°We don''t have the people,¡± I said. ¡°This is a small window of no more than two years, I believe,¡± Ura replied. ¡°Where are we going to find the people?¡± ¡°We have a few months to find smugglers.¡± ¡°You want to do this?¡± I asked. ¡°This is the only time we will be able to get smuggling ships with top-of-the-line Smuggling technology from one of the Federation''s top military giants. There will be no second chance any time soon after this, as my contacts will all be gone,¡± Ura told me bluntly. ¡°Do you think we can reserve some of our ships if we are slow?¡± ¡°The storage fees will be high,¡± Ura replied. ¡°I think we need to talk to that Asura bitch,¡± I said bluntly with a sigh pinching my nose, ¡°If we move forward with this, she needs to know that we are risking a lot of the cash, and we will need to be able to write that off. If she wants our transport services, that she can burn, we need more leeway. The risk is too high,¡± I replied bluntly, ¡°We will be expanding quickly to fill in a gap that, frankly, will be almost impossible to find trusted people to do. We will be playing a higher risk. Too high,¡± I said, ¡°I would rather grow slower and find a new contract with less good sources or move into moving legit cargoes than expand too quickly like this. We need more favorable terms of a loan than what she offered.¡± ¡°Those were good terms,¡± Ura said with a shrug. ¡°She would not offer those terms if she did not benefit way more than we do,¡± I told her, ¡°She is getting the better side of the deal, that is that. I want at least half the loan either forgiven or zero interest if we get burned by your contacts.¡± ¡°You think we can negotiate for better?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Yes, and I think if we are going to be stupid enough to do all of this, we need to act on it NOW,¡± I said. ¡°But we said-¡± ¡°We talk with her now, even if it looks a little suspicious. In fact, tell her to bring along some samples of guns that we can give to bounty hunters. We can ¡®purchase them.¡¯ I mean, I am a bounty hunter, after all, and she is a weapons dealer.¡± Ura rocked back and forth, looking lost in thought about what I said. ¡°You are right. If we are going to act, we need to act now. I am solid in my belief that the Federation will be looking at my home military soon.¡± ¡°Then call up the Asura bitch,¡± I said with a sigh closing my eyes, ¡°Get her to bring some free samples and find us a good location for us to talk without worrying about people overhearing.¡± Ura quickly typed in a new code, and not even ten seconds later, I heard the familiar voice. ¡°I did not expect to hear from you so soon.¡± The Asura woman said. ¡°We need to talk; we would love to see and try out some sample weapons for us to try out within thought for future larger orders,¡± Ura said. ¡°Oh, Interesting. I do not mind; I have a perfect place for us to talk and show some samples. I will send you a local address. I will be there in thirty minutes. I expect you to be there. Don''t waste my time.¡± She hung up a moment later, and I looked at Ura. ¡°Let''s go,¡± I said, getting up. It''s a Good thing I never got out of my armor.¡± I commented, and Ura chuckled as she made sure the communications were closed. Now was the time to act. Either we moved forward with this deal, turning Ura and me into a smuggling ring, or we could continue our small-time smuggling operation. This would be the meeting to decide. Chapter 103: A Smuggling Transport Ring The place that we found ourselves in was not the type of place that I had expected. Nor did Ura expect it. It was a massive warehouse-looking place with a bullseye on the front. When we entered, we found ourselves in a unique large firing range in which a small group of people were firing guns. At the front, there was a sign saying that all surveillance in this building was strictly forbidden; those caught would be shot and killed. Interesting. Then, there was a second sign saying that each lane was sound-shielded from all the others, and I just shook my head. This place was serious about anti-surveillance as a man walked up to us. He was a human man, and he grinned, ¡°Hello, ladies, I see you are armed, good! Good! This galaxy is not one for the faint of heart, and the guns on our backs are all that keep us alive. The Federation is always seeking to deny us our rights and freedoms, and this place is a refuge. If you wish to enter, you must go through a surveillance search. All listening devices, recording devices, or anything that will allow you to collect information and store it is EXPRESSLY not allowed; I will shoot you if you try to bring it into my store, and as per the Planets laws, if I notify you beforehand and you attempt to do so anyway. I am allowed to defend my company''s policies from your intrusion.¡± ¡°The only thing that this armor does is a form of camouflage that records the surroundings but does not store them.¡± ¡°Perfect,¡± The man said, ¡°I like you, Armored lady. You are perfectly allowed to do so as long as I find no way for that temporary storage to transmit any form of information out of here. Do either of you have anything else you wish to question me about?¡± The man asked, ¡°Oh, and my tech comes from the Core worlds as I used to be a core worlder. I have the best tech available in the federation to detect surveillance. Trust me, I will find your devices.¡± Ura looked down at her, and she pulled out a tablet and handed it to the man. ¡°Can I ask you to hold onto my tablet for short-term safekeeping while I enjoy your services here?¡± Ura asked, and I hit my head lightly, pulling out one of my own. ¡°Mine too?¡± I requested, and the man''s smile brightened, and he nodded. ¡°Of course, in fact, I provide special lockers for this.¡± The man said, ¡°But before we bring it forward, do you have anything else to declare before I scan you? Then we can put those government spies in their isolation cells.¡± I thought it over, ¡°If there is,¡± I said, ¡°I do not know about it or think of it as a recording device. Or a spy put it on me without my knowledge.¡± That man somehow smiled even brighter and then looked at Ura, ¡°Well?¡± He asked. ¡°I am much the same as my armored companion,¡± Ura replied. ¡°Perfect, I will admit. I have found people who have been being spied upon who did not know so. So!¡± The man grinned, motioning us over to a desk and pointed at the floor. ¡°Stand where it tells you, " the man said. I looked down at the circle, nodded, and stood in it. A moment later, I saw a blue translucent light come from the desk. The man walked over to his computer and looked at it in thought. ¡°Hmm, I see those cameras you were talking about. No storage devices; I see charging ports. Looks like you''re clean,¡± the man said, and he grinned. I like you, Rish. You are appropriately armed and would never let the Federation disarm you. Please, your companion next.¡± Ura did the same, and the man frowned, looking at the computer,r and looked at Ura. ¡°Those are some interesting clothes you are wearing. Is it for you, Rish Companion?¡± The man asked with a massive smile, ¡°Not my business anyway,¡± The Human man said and came to pick up the tablets, and the wall opened. ¡°These are special isolated storage devices. Nothing will be able to see out of them. Your tablets will be off the grid and unable to connect. Is there any reason you cannot have that happen?¡± The man asked. I shook my head, and Ura shrugged. ¡°I have nothing of real personal use on that tablet,¡± she said. I have another tablet for things like that. That one doesn''t leave the ship,¡± Ura said. The man''s smile grew brighter. ¡°Would you marry a man like me? A woman as paranoid as me is close to my heart,¡± the man joked. ¡°I use mine for bounty hunting,¡± I replied with a shrug, ¡°That is it. Maybe sometimes to buy some parts. Other than that, I make everything myself.¡± ¡°I love you, ladies, in fact, TEN PERCENT OFF!¡± the man announced, pressing into his keyboard. All my facilities will be slightly discounted. Bless your paranoid hearts,¡± the man said. ¡°Please,¡± the man said, handing up something. This is a device that allows you to see your devices.¡± He said and walked away, ¡°Enjoy my Facilities.¡± With that, he departed, and I shrugged, and Ura did the same. We walked deeper into the place, and I found a cafeteria, which we went to. We grabbed some food from the front since we had not eaten, and I pulled off my helmet as we sat down. ¡°I thought you were covering your identity,¡± Ura said. ¡°No, I wasn''t; it was for protection,¡± I replied honestly. ¡°We have been ambushed a lot recently. Or I should say, you have been ambushed a lot lately.¡± Ura pouted, and I noticed a gold woman coming toward us with four large hard containers in her hands¡ªone for each. She walked up and sat down beside us. ¡°Well,¡± the Asura woman said, ¡°I did not expect to hear from you so soon. What did you wish to discuss.¡± ¡°I have a contact,¡± I said, cutting in before Ura could. ¡°Or I should say we,¡± I ¡®corrected.¡¯ ¡°But we have an issue with them,¡± I began. ¡°What is it?¡± the asura woman asked. ¡°We can get as many ships as we can get our hands on at this time from him.¡± I told her, making her frown in confusion. ¡°Legit ships, and we can get probably ten ships modified with top-of-the-line military-grade technology that no tier-one world will be able to detect,¡± I told her, and she nodded happily.y ¡°That is great news,¡± She said with a grin. ¡°But that is also the problem,¡± I told her, and she frowned. ¡°What happens when a Military has too much graft?¡± Ura cut in, asking, and the woman looked at her. ¡°At first, we all have a heyday¡ª¡± the woman cut herself off, frowning deeply. ¡±I see what you mean now.¡± ¡°Too much graft brings the attention of the authorities. The increasing civil disturbance in this area will bring more attention to the area.¡± ¡°Which means less time to get your modifications done.¡± ¡®Which means too much risk for us,¡± I said. ¡°You would not be here if you planned on rejecting me. What are your plans?¡± The woman asked. ¡°You want us to create an organization?¡± I asked, ¡°Well, I have no problem doing that. It will take a year or two to get it fully functioning and more than one or maybe two ships. But,¡± I shrugged, ¡°The risk is too high. We need matching ships, we need to blend into the background of common ships, and we need top-of-the-line Military assets to get past all tier-one world security. Even core world security!¡± I announced, ¡°But this is our only contact, and we need to make the order quick, and we may lose half of it, if not more.¡± I said, ¡°So we want terms that allow us not to take on so much risk.¡±Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. ¡°You seem unworried about the authorities,¡± The woman said, and I smiled. ¡°We have a backup plan for the person who knows the most about our purchase,¡± I said with a massive smile. The woman¡¯s eyes narrowed for a moment before they brightened, and she smiled. ¡°I think I like you ladies even more. What do you need?¡± ¡°I want two things.¡± Holding up my armored fingers, I said, ¡°More money than you wish. We will be greasing a lot of palms, meaning these ships will be expensive but worth every penny to have modified.¡± I told her bluntly, ¡°We also need to buy cover ships of the same to make that look the exact same to blend the smuggling ships into the background and make us look more legit. I want to put in an order for ten modified smuggling ships,¡± I said, ¡°And that means I need thirty ships to hide those smugglers.¡± The woman looked at me wide-eyed, and she instantly looked down. ¡°That is a risk,¡± she said. ¡°I am not done. We might be burned, remember,¡± I said, and the woman grimaced. ¡°So, I want to be forgiven for the debt in case the ships are not delivered.¡± ¡°No, that is too much,¡± the woman said, frowning. I can go low interest.¡± ¡°Zero interest on the ships that we have to burn or no deal.¡± I cut in. ¡°I can-¡± ¡°Please, I am not kidding here. I understand we are getting a lot out of this deal,¡± I said bluntly, ¡°My contact, I am ready to burn for this, is not someone low down in the organization. I have put work into setting up the backup plan and having Miltary top-of-the-line stealth technology in small, fast ships. That man will be dead before he can even speak where these ships are ¡®lost,¡¯¡± I told her bluntly, ¡°You will have natural insurance that we can dodge even battleships in case of war. We use slipstream drives, making us nigh uncatchable.¡± I shrugged, ¡°You will have guaranteed smugglers that can bring in all their cargo undetected.¡± The woman was thoughtful, ¡°But on our end, I am burning old contacts; I have to find thirty legit crews with bounty hunters to give us a cover. All of these have to be some form of Competence and trustworthiness. Then!¡± I took a breath, ¡°I have to find people like myself who do not care what is in those containers to protect them and without a criminal record to go around shooting other criminals to keep up the cover.¡± I leaned forward and looked into her eyes, ¡°I need Credits to do that too. If I get burned, I will never be able to catch up if more than three get burned if you put interest in it. I would be fucked!¡± I shrugged. ¡°Fine, No forgiving the loan, but on the credits that went toward the ships that got burned? I want zero percent interest, period. And no interest until we have the ships in hand.¡± I looked at her solidly, and I hoped the old times when I negotiated my contracts from Call of Duty were helping me. I had to play hardball with the few people willing to contract me. I wasn''t the best-paid pro player at the time, but I was suitably compensated for the time that I was in the pro circuit. The woman looked thoughtfully at us. ¡°Military top-of-the-line hardware?¡± she asked. ¡°We will only use the best. If our contact tries to do less, I have no problem with paying him a personal visit. The Doctor on our ship is morally bankrupt.¡± I informed her, ¡°and she loves to experiment.¡± The woman looked at me with a massive smile. ¡°I like you, Rish. I like you a lot. Honestly, Zero percent is a hard ask. But that is only in the case that you are burned and only for the ships that are burned. Okay.¡± She said with a growing smile, ¡°There is nothing that will enforce this but a handshake between the two of us. The authorities cannot hold over our heads things that we do not commit to writing. But we will both stand to profit immensely from each other, and we both know I have what it takes to put a bounty on you.¡± The Asura woman threatened. ¡°Fine, I will accept these conditions. The Interest will even be held back for as long as you do not have those ships in your possession. But once you do, and I will have a watcher.¡± The woman warned, ¡°You will have one month before the interest starts for that ship. Understood?¡± ¡°Understood,¡± I replied, and Ura smiled at me. ¡°Perfect. We can wrap up the details before you leave the planet. In fact, I would rather you collect the credits on another planet. Give us a degree of removal.¡± The asura woman said, looking at the food, ¡°Do you want to check out the toys that I brought you?¡± ¡°Please, show me,¡± I said with a bit of excitement, and the woman grinned massively. ¡°I have brought a couple of things that I don''t think you will have. All Rish should have something heavy in ordnance. I saw you did not have one; it has to be ballistic, so I thought. Why not a launcher?¡± The woman grinned and opened a box, which was a meter long and rounded square. There was a large round box at the back, and the asura woman grinned. ¡°This is a high-velocity grenade launcher that shoots up to thirty-five grenades in one clip!¡± The woman announced, easily pulled it up, and showed me the clip. It was a large box with a cut out to where it docked into the gun. ¡°This shoots fifty-millimeter high velocity or parabola mode. So, a lower velocity. Both of which have a bounce mode which can be changed on the interface,¡± the woman said. ¡°This is not for inside ship combat, though, unless that is a military ship. This will blow a hole in Civilian grade armor.¡± ¡°Noted,¡± I said, picking up the clip and bringing it in front of me. ¡°Is there an empty cartridge that I can use to make my own form of grenades? " I asked as I pulled out a grenade and looked it over. ¡°Absolutely,¡± she grinned. Custom means that you will have to produce your own detonator, though, or purchase our shock detonator or percussion detonator.¡± The woman replied. ¡°Hmmm,¡± I hummed, and I loved it. This would be a great example to use in the future if I needed to make something like this. ¡°Interesting, I would love to try it out,¡± I said, and I looked at the launcher itself, which she handed to me. I liked the feel, stood, and realized that this was an underarm weapon. ¡°Is there a way to aim this better?¡± I asked. ¡°An interface program for armor and helmets,¡± the woman said, pulling out a chip from the gun in front of me. It slides into the port of your armor or helmet, links to the interface, and projects the angles for you in the mode that you are in.¡± ¡°Excellent, great for newbies,¡± I replied, handing her the launcher again. ¡°Show me what else you got.¡± ¡°Absolutely,¡± she said, pulling out a large gun with a large box in the middle and a backpack feeding into that box. ¡°This is a Military grade Faccett gun,¡± She said, ¡°it is meant for ship boardings. These, though, are not good for armor; they are mostly anti-personnel. However, there is an Armor mode where it turns into a precision instrument that you would really rather not miss. What he is mainly used for is moving forward and shredding anything living in your path.¡± She took a deep breath, picked it up, and put it on her back, ¡°It shoots sharp circular disks that bounce on metal. This is why the anti-armor mode is more of a gimmick. But the space suits? This will rip through them. It will kill anything in a long hallway and shred organic to bits. I suggest caution with this.¡± She said, and I nodded. That thing was fucking scary, and Ura looked scared of it, and the Asura woman smiled, ¡°I love hand-to-hand combat, but even in this day and age, I know,¡± She said with a wry smile, ¡°Armor is needed to fight properly.¡± ¡°What else do you have?¡± I asked. She put the Faccett gun away and opened another box. She pulled out a large thing that she shoved her arm into and lifted up with another arm. The thing had green glowy things and five large spikes out the top. ¡°This is a Magic Fuel Cannon. This thing here has no customization,¡± She remarked, ¡°But it is for blasting things that are in your way. This has a tracking system built into the magical round, but it is not maneuverable compared to Military equivalents. This is for surface-to-air destruction. Have a shuttle about to come down on you ladies? This will blow it out of the sky as long as it hits.¡± The Asura sighed, ¡°Honestly, we are still working out the kinks on this one. You can take it with you in exchange for any data that you collect when you use it. Personal impressions work.¡± She said, ¡°It is a little heavy, though. More for defense than offense.¡± I whistled and remembered an old game called Halo that many older VR players sometimes cried about. I played the game with the boys, and honestly, it was a shame such a game was just considered a classic. In many ways, it was much, much better as a shooter than Call of Duty. It made more sense that you could take a few shots, too. Still, game companies messed up good IPs, which was what happened. ¡°That is interesting,¡± I replied, ¡°Probably won''t need it, though. ¡°True, still, take it; you never know,¡± the woman said, putting it back in the case. Then she moved on to the last one: ¡°I thought I would show you something that you might want to buy for the last one. This one is good for bounty hunting,¡± she said. She pulled out the smallest gun yet. I frowned, which did not mean much against what she had been showing us. It was clearly an assault rifle. ¡°This is a 5.62mm Assault rifle, but it has magic round enchanting,¡± she said with a grin. The Chamber is enchanted and obscured through recent technological advancements. Each round is enhanced to do more damage. It is basic but is useful for new users. They don¡¯t need to be as accurate if they do almost twice as much damage.¡± ¡°Interesting,¡± I replied, but I did not really care. Sure, double damage sounded nice, but what did that mean in a realistic game? I would rather have an armor break added to my ammo or an electric enchantment. ¡°So, that sounds moderately useful,¡± I said with no enthusiasm. The woman''s smile was a bit strained for a moment, and then she grinned. ¡°Why don''t we use these facilities and try them out a bit before you go?¡± The Asura Gladine said, and I smiled. ¡°Why not?¡± Galaxy Hunter Online Chapter 104: Corporation plans Playing with the Asura¡¯s toys had been fun, and I found myself fearing the Faccet Gun. That shit was meant for military boardings and would annihilate all in its path, with one major drawback. You better have some damn heavy armor, or those blades could bounce back and annihilate you. The Facility showed those little blades mincing anything without armor into ground beef, if not smaller, and that made me shiver. I also had absolutely no need for it, which she understood. Bounty hunters needed to keep their bounties in enough pieces to be somewhat identifiable. I could see situations where you were facing many that it might be good. But I did not want that thing on board at this point because of the bounces. As for the Grenade launcher? That thing was now nicely packed with two clips of explosive grenades courtesy of the Asura woman. As for the rifle for newbies that she gave me, I decided to take it along with a couple of clips for Emma. She was still not ready for battle, but she had been working out like a fiend to increase her strength and stamina. She was having issues with cardio and was without something to run on. We would have to work on that. In the meantime, I was allowing her to use an unloaded rifle as a weight, ensuring that she was at least able to carry that as a weapon. Then, I took one for the Magic Fuel Cannon, too, just in case. You never know when you might need one. For now, it was going to sit in the corner, unloaded with the five rounds included. And it would stay unloaded, and the clip of Magic Fuel rounds away from the cannon itself. Because that was a damn smart thing to do; if I had a safe that I could lock up those rounds, I would be doing so. Because I didn''t, I started to lock my room to everyone else when I was not inside because of the sheer number of arms inside the room. The parts also were starting to overfill, and that would become a problem in the future if I did not start to use some of them up and toss out the junk. Then again, I still needed to practice a lot. Now, after coming back to the ship, Ura placed an order with her contact in her old military for thirty small light cruisers with slipstream drives like this one and ten modified ones to be modified into Smuggler ships with top-of-the-line military tech for hiding things. This then spoke to the largest problem that Ura and I needed to start solving: finding crews for the ships. We were about to be in desperate need of personnel, all of which we would not be able to find crews for easily. Then we also needed bounty hunters, and Ura and I were lost for a bit. ¡°We are going to need to use some form of recruitment agency,¡± I said bluntly. ¡°Those agencies can be problematic, though,¡± Ura said with a frown. ¡°They can put in people who plan to betray us and then skip out with our ships.¡± ¡°Then we use multiple Recruitment agencies!¡± I said, exasperated, as Ura took us out of orbit to enter a slipstream toward the next planet. Honestly, we get one agency to get us a couple of engineers, another one a couple of captains, and then we bring them together. The bounty hunters, we can do a little of the same, although I do have an idea for one team of bounty hunters, although they were not that good now that I think of it.¡± I said with a frown. ¡°How restrictive of contracts do you want to be?¡± ¡°One year contract,¡± I said bluntly, ¡°with a three-month probation period for results. We can ensure we start bringing in money, and we are also going to need someone full-time somewhere to start doing all our legitimate shipping.¡± ¡°Oh, no, that I can handle,¡± Ura said with a smile, ¡±With a combination of artificial intelligence and the amount of time that we are in space, I think you do not realize how picky I have been with ship cargo. I have tons of offers for small, fast ships in the area. With our slipstream drive? They save on our large fees too. Seriously, I don''t think you understand how much they save on insurance.¡± ¡°So you are just going to start optimizing their routes?¡± I asked. ¡°Yep, I can even automate it to some extent. Then, we can have individual captains pick between a selection of deliveries. Then, we can have a bonus structure and a punishment structure. To top it off, we will have a profit share incentive so that employees don''t have the risk we take but have the benefits of a Dividend bonus structure. So those at the top get a bonus, let''s say top two, then a share in their ship. That way, we don''t have to worry about people taking control of the ships and going pirate. It also helps that although these are ships that come from the military, they are unarmed, making them not the greatest pirate ships.¡± ¡°I see that you have been thinking about this,¡± I said to Ura, and she smiled. ¡°Well, I have been coming up with a draft, and then I plan to have a federation Lawyer go over the laws and make everything very official. We are also going to incorporate! That way, everything is going above board. I will also go over with my contacts how to make the ships look second-hand and older from the reserve, but those are all basics at this point.¡± Ura said, ¡°Oh, We are about to enter slipstream,¡± Ura commented. We both went silent and then, after we entered slipstream space, she turned to me fully. ¡°We will have various things to set us up for success; the problem is the bounty hunters that we want to protect our cargo,¡± Ura said.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°Which means hiring small teams or maybe even contract-based for the ships.¡± ¡°Contract-based?¡± Ura frowned, ¡°That might do it.¡± ¡°We can also put up a notice on the bounty board, I think, for ships for protection and freedom while exploring the universe with a minimum level and a base salary or profit incentive like the other employees,¡± I said and shrugged. ¡°Too much for now. We will be picking up the credits at the next stop, and it will be harsh to pay them off. We are going to be indebted to Gladine for a while¡ªa very long while,¡± Ura said, and I smiled wryly. ¡°Yup, but if we do this right, not as long as we both think. With twenty million credits a pop for each spaceship and sixty million for the modified,¡± Which made me wince, ¡°The fact that we are also paying each one separately from each other and no interest until then?¡± I shrugged, ¡°The profit margins are much higher for us,¡± I smiled brightly. ¡°Who is to say that if things start going south on us, we can just burn them?¡± ¡°The fact they would hate us?¡± Ura replied. ¡°Ura, they would, but they also cannot push us,¡± I said bluntly, ¡°We have hands in each other''s pie. That is why we have a low interest rate, and most of it is to be paid in services. Gladine clearly wants smugglers, not debtors. The fact that we can burn each other and that separation is what makes both of us valuable to the other. We prioritize her, and we both win. We get a fleet of forty small liners, and if things go to shit around this part of the Federation, what do you think will happen to Insurance rates?¡± I asked. ¡°Oh,¡± Ura started to chuckle, ¡°You''re saying that as we start smuggling guns into these places and start stirring the pot in this sector, the insurance rates will go up. Then we can charge more even while saving the customers money.¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± ¡°That is diabolical,¡± Ura said, clapping, ¡°I guess with those things in mind, there was a reason when we were setting this all up, you refused that fixed rate. I can¡¯t believe I did not think of that as we were negotiating.¡± ¡°Honestly, I thought it might be a good idea to go with a fixed rate for the smuggling, but I thought, if things are getting dicey around here, maybe we can charge more later.¡± ¡°Well, I think we have everything set up for now. We can''t really do much more without the extra funds, and my payment to the loan company for our ship is paid up again. We have credits flowing into our pockets and high-profit margins. Are you thinking about bounty hunting?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Absolutely,¡± I told her with a grin. ¡°No way do I want to sit in the background. First, I plan to train myself in crafting, though. I feel hopelessly out of depth with a lot of my tools. I will move forward once I can craft some basic traps with more technology.¡± ¡°Then we do not have much more time before your contract ends. It is only six months, and we are on month two. You should send the money, and we should start to hire more bounty hunters, too.¡± ¡°Yeah, I think I will start with Emma, but I believe we should get slaves for the other smuggling ships. Ones that we can indenture to us for freeing them. I am sure we can find some questionable people out there that will suit our purposes.¡± ¡°Or you can capture them,¡± Ura said, and I smiled. ¡°Or I can capture them; that might be a good idea,¡± I said slowly. ¡°I would have to look into that. The bounty hunters are where I think everything will become the hardest.¡± ¡°What are we going to call the Corporation?¡± Ura suddenly asked. ¡°We need a name for when I incorporate, and we do not have one.¡± ¡°Planet Express?¡± I asked with a grin. ¡°Um,¡± Ura looked down. ¡°Nah, it''s too small-sounding, in my opinion.¡± The reply was serious, but I guess Futurama was not in this universe. ¡°Milky Way Deliveries? Smugglers Inc? Slipstream Deliveries?¡± I frowned, ¡°Actually, I think it would be a mistake to call ourselves after just a delivery service. Especially because bounty hunting is in our image.¡± ¡°Hmmm,¡± Ura was thinking, too, and we both were lost. ¡°How about Sleepy Corp?¡± I asked. ¡°Just your name?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Nope, I was thinking that was a good way to hide what we really mean. Sleepy, Smugglers, libel, Express, Extraction, Procurement, Yield,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°I know it is stupid, but I mean, What can we do to add both our names? Sleepy Ura Corp?¡± ¡°You''re right; I think your first name is better. It is either that or Wonder Corp, but there is a major corporation with that name. We are looking for a tier-three corporation name at this time, and I don''t think Sleepy corp is taken. Sleepy Limited is a major bed corporation and sells around the Federation, but Corp? I don''t think so. We will see; for now, it is better than anything else we got.¡± ¡°Okay, we can go with that then,¡± I said, turning to leave. ¡°I am going to go to bed; I will see you in the morning.¡± I grinned. ¡°You are perfectly allowed to ride me as long as you want,¡± I told her with a grin, and Ura blushed. I walked out of the bridge, past the med bay, and noticed it all locked up. Emily was walking by, covered in grease. ¡°Ah, SleepyWonder. The ship is in good shape. Is it possible for me to get some extra parts in case things go wrong?¡± Emily asked, and I nodded. ¡°Of Course. We have limited room, but you can have what you deem necessary. Ura will back that up. Um,¡± I paused, ¡°I have a question for you.¡± ¡°Shoot, I am your slave after all,¡± Emily said with a hint of saltiness, and I shrugged. ¡°We are thinking of expanding. I was wondering if you know anyone who would be interested in a start-up corporation in your field?¡± I asked her. ¡°I promise that the contract would be great.¡± ¡°Better than mine?¡± Emily asked, then shook her head. ¡°Sorry, you are much better than what I could hope for. You have not mistreated me at all. Um, it depends on the contract terms. Slipstream engineers are in demand and can punch their own tickets.¡± ¡°What if we gave them part ownership in the ship that they have to sell off back to us and dividends from the corporation as bonuses and bonuses for those who perform above and beyond?¡± I asked. ¡°Hmm, that is actually a lot better than the industry standard,¡± Emily said, thinking, ¡°Actually, I might have a couple of people interested depending on the wage that comes along with those benefits.¡± ¡°We need like forty,¡± I said, ¡°and ten that are willing to do what we are doing.¡± Emily looked at me, a little shocked, ¡°That many?!¡± ¡°Over two years,¡± I said. ¡°Hmmm,¡± Emily looked thoughtful. ¡°I might know two that would be willing to do what we are doing for greater returns. They have a bit of a gambling problem, but that comes with risks.¡± ¡°I see. Do you mind probing them for interest?¡± I asked. ¡°Absolutely. You have been nice and have not bothered me with my toys. As long as your Promises are held, I am willing. I will look into it for you.¡± ¡°Thanks, Emily. I honestly would love to hire you after we free you, and I plan on doing so,¡± I told her. ¡°We will see,¡± Emily said, then started to walk away, ¡°You know, if you are going to expand a lot, having a physical place where you can run things would be highly beneficial. You can hire people on that planet to do things you can''t do in space, like making various things like traps and Drones. Things that might help you out,¡± Emily said, looking at me, ¡°think about it. You don''t need to do everything, SleepyWonder.¡± Emily was about to leave then stopped, ¡°Also, we need to have a conversation about my compensation. When you purchased me, you said you would pay me instead of forcing me. I think that we should have a conversation soon about that.¡± With that, she moved toward the bridge, and I continued to walk and think about what she said. I could not help but agree. ¡°Absolutely,¡± I said as she left, and I was left with a lot to think about. I grabbed a snack, fed my character, and logged out. Tonight was date night. Chapter 105: Reversal The pod lid opened slowly, and I yawned. It was a long day in the game, and I was starting to get tired from playing so many days in a row without a break. I had spent the least amount of time possible when not trying to learn to craft more. Tonight was the night that I promised Amber that we could have a date night. I could not help blushing at that thought. The sudden confession was something I had not expected from Amber, the Ex RCMP officer. She was extremely hot and made me feel like a submissive. She was hot and extremely in control of herself. I highly suspect that she was some type of agent when she was in the RCMP. Slowly getting out of the pod, my mind was on Amber, and I found myself wanting to find something that would get Amber a little excited. I wondered if she liked Cosplay. Oh, yes. An Idea hit me, and I smiled with a blush as I stretched. First, I would shower and get the bed ready, as it was a little dirty from me just going in and out of bed in various different clothing. Instead of going into the shower, I quickly set to work, deciding to switch the order. I quickly removed my sheets and pillows and started swapping them for clean sheets and pillowcases. It did not take that long, although one corner of my mattress, as usual, gave me a bit of an issue. It was always difficult to change the sheets with thousands of dollars of streaming and camera equipment. I liked clean sheets, though, so I would usually change them once a week. Suddenly, I heard my phone going off. I quickly walked to my desk, where my phone was charging, and I saw it was Amber. I picked up the phone and said, ¡°Hey~!¡± ¡°Hey, you,¡± Amber said back, ¡°We are still on for tonight, right?¡± Amber asked, ¡°You better be because I am already on the way, and if you want to be punished, then you will say no now.¡± ¡°No,¡± I purred, feeling a chill up my spine. Of course, I want to be punished,¡± I purred into the phone. ¡°You are impossible. Then, I have one punishment for you tonight. I will be there in fifteen minutes. Be ready.¡± ¡°Yes, Queen,¡± I replied, my cock twitching in my sweatpants. I quickly looked over my bedroom, nodded, stripped off my clothes, and headed for the bathroom. I jumped into the shower and turned on the water with one hand while putting my hair up with the other so it would not get wet. I did not have time to dry it, so I rushed everything else. With a loofa in hand, I started to scrub myself down, knowing that I smelt a bit because I had been putting off my personal hygiene. I quickly soaped up my breasts and cleaned up my cock. Despite what many Hentai liked to show in that doujin, women hated dirty cocks. Unless they had a kink. I quickly finished and scrubbed down my legs and private areas but did not have the time to use everything properly. After a minute or so, I was finished and tossed the loofa onto a hook. I got out of the shower, dried myself off, and washed my face as I got to the sink. I forgo makeup as I did not have the time and quickly stepped out of my bathroom. After I finished brushing my teeth, I headed to my bedroom, seeking out the clothing options that I wanted. They were in my cosplay section, and I looked at them and smiled. Quickly, I put on the full ensemble, knowing there was one missing piece in my bedroom. I blushed and hurried, knowing that Amber was going to show up any minute now, and I did not want to make her wait. I wasn''t like my ex-girlfriends, who would take thirty minutes when I told them they had five. I walked into my bedroom, went to the drawer where the last piece of my outfit was, pulled it out, and blushed. The Skirt I wore did nothing to stop me from finishing the outfit, and I blushed, hoping that Amber would like it. I stopped myself; of course, Amber would like it. I had never met anyone who hated this cosplay, and it suited the situation perfectly. Then again, I would love to update it in the future so that it is even better. Or more appropriate? Did not matter as everything left my mind as I heard a knock at the door. Amber was here. I felt my face even get hotter. I walked over to the door and opened it to see the woman on the other side. She had a hand on her hip, and I gasped at how hot she looked. Amber was a hot blonde woman with nice b cup breasts that made me blush harder, as she was in a simple White dress shirt and black suit pants. She smiled as she saw me and looked me up and down. ¡°Meow, Slut. I did not think you were going to dress up like this for your Queen,¡± Amber said with this small smile that made my cock throb in my pants. Holy shit, how did she get me in a sub mood so quickly? Amber stepped in, and she looked me up and down again. ¡°Mirror, now,¡± Amber ordered. ¡°Yes, Queen,¡± I purred, and we entered my apartment, closing the door. Amber quickly put something down, and soon, we were in my closet, in front of my large Mirror. In it, my Long Red hair now had two cute red furry cat ears. I had red furry arms with cute little pawed hands that had finger holes for me to do things. There was a gloved finger I also had, but it was impractical to wear. Then I wore a little Japanese schoolgirl sailor outfit with a long red tail that came from my asshole with a string of beads inside of me for later that did not finish without the two thigh-high fur-lined leggings that covered my feet with cute little paws for feet. Amber grabbed my breasts from behind, and I felt her hips press against my tail teasing my asshole, and I moaned. ¡°Are you sure we should even watch a movie?¡± Amber asked. I purred and leaned back into her, smiling, ¡°No, we should. You can tease me and enjoy each other''s company.¡± ¡°Then, I am going to test something,¡± Amber chuckled and kissed my neck, and I moaned. I could see her beautiful face feast on my neck, sucking on it and kissing me. Her hands mashed my breasts together and let go. My nipples pressed against the fabric of the schoolgirl outfit, and Amber licked my neck before backing off, ¡°Come on, Let''s pick a movie,¡± Amber said with a soft smile. Amber walked out of my closet, and I followed after her. I purred out, ¡°What movie would you like, Queen?¡± ¡°I have the perfect one,¡± Amber said, and she looked around my bedroom as we entered it. ¡°You know, this is still a weird bedroom, with all cameras on your bed,¡± Amber commented. ¡°It is my job,¡± I purred out, keeping up a cat-like smile, ¡°It keeps a bunch of pervs happy,¡± I said with a smile, ¡°Then again, I am a bit of a perv myself, so they are my pervs.¡± I chuckled. I walked over to my computer and turned it on, and Amber walked over to my bed and looked it over. ¡°You changed the sheets for me,¡± Amber noted. ¡°Good girl,¡± she complimented, and I shuddered and closed my eyes. How was it that she could get me like this so quickly when I was normally so dominant? I finished turning on my computer and logging in, and Amber got up and pushed me slightly to the side. She quickly pulled up Internet TV, put in a password, and navigated to the Movie section. She turned around, and I moved to the bed and sat down. The tail then pushed in a little, making me shiver. ¡°Mmmm,¡± a moan escaped a moment later.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Amber slipped around, and the movie was about to start playing. I quickly got up and turned off the lights before running back. It was such a weird feeling, and Amber undid the top button of her shirt and quickly followed up with a second, and I sat beside her. The movie started with the Paranoid Studios logo, which I had come to realize not long ago, but I only heard it in the background as Amber pulled me to her. My mind blanked as she pulled me into her arms and kissed me. I did not know how it happened, but I found myself on Ambers''s lap, half-laying across her. We started to kiss deeply, and the music started to play at the start of the movie. It was quickly starting, but neither of us had eyes on the movie in the background. We both knew what we were here for, and I felt my cock harden and pressed up my skirt as I felt a hand quickly press against my breasts. Her hands started to undo the buttons on my shirt, and I found myself doing the same, slowly pulling at the buttons on her shirt, and Amber broke the kiss. ¡°Such a naughty kitty,¡± Amber commented, ¡°Did this Queen allow you to assist her with her shirt?¡± The question made me shiver, and my cock throbbed at the teasing smile from Amber. She was completely in control of me without the need to try. Her fingers pushed aside the fabric of my schoolgirl shirt and found no bra covering my large breasts, and she used a finger to start teasing a nipple. The sensation made me purr, and I looked into her dominant eyes, ¡°Are you going to punish this Naughty kitty?¡± ¡°Mmm, of course, I am going to test a limit you mentioned once; I want you to do what you want, Honey,¡± She purred, ¡°I am going to tease you and drive you crazy; I look forward to your reaction,¡± She commented, and I was confused, and her hand glided down my body to my skirt, and she found my large cock with her hand and gripped it tightly and started to jerk it. I thrust my head back at the sudden pleasure, and she used her thumb to tease my urethra relentlessly. ¡°Mmmm, Queen, that feels so good, Meow,¡± I purred and tried to keep up a little role play as the pleasure of her handjob was something that I was not used to. It was all dry, but her hands quickly milked out some precum ending that adjective, and she started to use my precum to tease the head of my dick with her thumb and continued to jerk my cock with a strong, steady grip making me purr. ¡°That''s right, honey,¡± She purred into my ear, ¡°You are Queen¡¯s little Slutty Kitty, aren''t you?¡± She asked. ¡°I am Queens Slutty Kitty,¡± I faithfully replied, and she was quickly bringing me to the peak, ¡°Queen, I- I am about to cum,¡± I shivered, and my cock throbbed, and she increased the pace. I shivered, and my legs started to shiver as the pleasure from the head of my cock sent my mind reeling, and I moaned louder and louder as I reached the peak. Then it stopped, and I looked down in surprise and snapped, ¡°What?¡± My surprise was apparent. My hand went down to my cock, and Amber snatched it out, pulling me toward her as the pleasure suddenly stopped dropping me from the edge. Amber grinned wickedly, and I shivered. ¡°W- What?¡± I asked Amber. ¡°That''s right, Honey,¡± she said softly in my ear as the screen started to show a dangerous smile. A fake scream filled the room, which we both paid no attention to. ¡°I am going to edge you to oblivion.¡¯ The Statement made my eyes widen, and she let go of my wrist and then kissed me. While she grabbed my cock again, I moaned, and my cock shivered in her hand. The pleasure of her hand started to send my brain to the edges of the universe as she quickly controlled my lust and attention. Amber was ruthless, quickly jerking my cock hard and sucking on my tongue and teasing my lips. She was all over, and my arms wrapped around her neck, and my legs trembled as I quickly reached the edge and moaned into her lusty lips. She took me, and the world became all her. Then it all stopped just as I was reaching the edge, and I groaned hard, and my hips thrust up into the air. ¡°No~!¡± I complained, ¡°Queen, please~!¡± ¡°Nope, you be a good kitty,¡± Amber strongly pushed me down, picked me up, stood up, turned around, and tossed me onto the bed. She undid her suit pants and pulled them down, then revealed her black panties, making me mesmerized. I licked my lips, and she pulled off her top. I could see a woman running from a man in the background, illuminating the room. Amber then took off her bra and panties showing off her amazing B-cup breasts and tight pussy before getting on the bed and mounting me, and her pussy dripped a string of fluids onto my cock laying on my skirt, and she grabbed my throbbing edged cock, and she brought it up to her pussy. ¡°You will not cum until this Queen allows it,¡± She ordered, then plunged my cock deep into her dripping wet cunt. The pleasure was immense, and I found myself completely forgetting that we even had a movie in the background as she started to bounce on my cock. I could not help but purr and moan as she bounced hard on my cock without restraint, and I shivered. My legs trembled, ¡°Queen,¡± I purred, ¡°Queen, I- I am,¡± I was about to continue to state my pleasure when she stopped, and her pussy gripped my cock, and she fell down to me her face just in front of mine and her finger pressed against my lips. ¡°Bad Kitty,¡± she snapped, ¡°No cumming yet; this Queen wants more from you,¡± She continued, and her pussy seemingly gripped my cock tighter inside her, but she did not move; instead, her hands grabbed my breasts and her head went into the nook of my neck and started to kiss and suck on me making me moan louder and louder. It was amazing, and I shivered, her juicy pussy squeezing even tighter, but she never moved until I came down from the edge, where she started to move again. Her head never left my neck, though, and my arms wrapped around her as she bounced her ass alone and grinded on my hips, using her cunt to bring me to a new level of pleasure. She did not stop and quickly brought me to the edge again, making me cry out that I was about to cum before she stopped making me groan. ¡°Please, Queen, Let this kitten cum~!¡± I moaned. ¡°No,¡± Amber said, dismounting me. I saw her pussy dripping all over my skirt as she got off and laid in an L shape from me, her ass sticking out but only temporarily, before she moved and her dripping cunt was over my face, and she ordered, ¡°Make your Queen Cum, maybe then I might give you Mercy.¡± I did not need to be told twice as the enticing Juicy pussy was in front of me, and I dove in. I sucked, licked, and ravaged that clit, and in return, I felt my cock enter her wet hot mouth which. I felt her tongue start to tease me, and I moaned and shivered, returning the favor. Quickly I got closer and closer and tasted her juicing more and more, and her insides trembled from my tongue fucking her juicy pussy. I was rewarded with a massive amount of fluids erupting as she moaned on my cock just as I was reaching the peak, making her take my cock out of her mouth and my hips thrust up at her in desperation, but she backed up and sat on my face. My nose poked at her asshole, and I smelt the faint smell of roses. My mouth was full of her cunt, and she moaned above me as I continued my workings as my hips thrust up desperately. I needed more, and I needed more. My cock was desperate, and she chuckled above me, making me moan into her pussy as my need for air grew as she smothered me with her ass. The best way to die was in this place, right here. Maybe I would reach death knowing I could brag to all those there that I died between the thighs of a hot woman. That was not so bad. I gasped for air as she suddenly allowed me to breathe again. I took large gulps of air, and suddenly my cock was plunged into her cunt once more. My mind blanked as, again and again, Amber brought me to the edge and made me cum. My desperation grew as she changed the method each time but never allowed me to release it. I hated it; I wanted to cum, ¡°Queen, Please~!¡± I moaned deep in the sub-zone, wanting more, needing more, and again she denied me, and my hips thrust into the air one more time before something snapped in me. The world for a moment changed to that day, and I remembered it vividly when the last time this happened to me. Denied, again and again, and I was there, looking up at the person who had me bound, denying me again and again. My anger rose, and I NEEDED TO TAKE WHAT I WANTED! Amber was above me, and I looked up at the woman who had brought me to the edge so many times. The movie in the background was long over, and she smiled sadistically. I looked at the woman of my torture, and I saw her as a piece of female meat to fuck. I grabbed her legs, and she looked at me surprised. I pulled them toward me, and she fell back in surprise, yelping, and fell with her back onto the bed, but I was already up. I had her by the ankles, and I sneered, ¡°You think you can just fuck with this Goddess?¡± I snapped, and Amber looked at me surprised, and I was no longer in the subzone. She gasped as I pulled her to the edge of the bed, and I pushed her ankles to her ears, forcing her cunt into the air and pinning her strong arms under her legs pinning her. I could feel resistance and saw her saying something, but I could not care less. I hopped up on the bed and looked down, and lined my cock up to her cunt, and I took what was mine. I shoved my cock balls deep, and I felt her pussy tremble and spasm in response. I pulled back, and I started a fast, brutal mating press fuck that would make anyone''s eyes widen as I took her for all she was worth. This was a good piece of fuckable meat as she shivered and cried out under me. I felt my cock throb inside of her as I quickly reached the peak, and I moaned as I released a tide into her without restraint. That did not even slow me, even as the pleasure was overwhelming. The world was just becoming crisper, and I pressed into her, ¡°You fuckable meat, teasing and fucking with your Goddess; who do you think you are?¡± I sneered, and I roared as I claimed her cunt as my own, and she screamed in response. Peak to peak, I filled her desperate cunt with my baby juice, lost in the absolute pleasure of it. My mind seemed to skip. I was holding the fuckable meats leg with her other leg to the side, forcing her on her side as I fucked her. Shoving my cock down her throat, releasing a tide down it. Pushed against the wall as I thrust into her hard and heard her moan. Inside the shower with her arms pinned behind her. Back in the bed with her on all fours and me fucking her from behind. Then reality came back, and I found myself in my bed with Amber gasping for air beside me and my breathing heavy, and I shivered. I lost control of myself. Unlike when I was fulfilling my dark fantasies, I found when I was denied too many times, I tended to almost berserk. I liked being denied a little, as it allows great chain orgasms if done right. But take it too far, and I just blank out and fuck my partner whatever they say. It was bad, and I winced as I felt drained. Hearing Amber gasping beside me, at least, was a reassurance. ¡°Holy shit, it finally ended,¡± Amber said, ¡°or at least I am getting a break. I hope Honey is okay,¡± Amber commented, her breathing heavy, not realizing I had zoned back in. ¡°She did warn me not to deny her too much back at the bar. I did not expect this. She just straight-up lost it. Definitely a trauma response. I hope she is okay.¡± I turned to her, and I could see her breasts heaving. I grabbed her and pulled her close suddenly, and Amber was startled. ¡°I¡¯m okay,¡± I told her with a chuckle, ¡°Want to sleep with me?¡± I asked. ¡°Yes, but don''t.¡± ¡°Shut up,¡± I said, cutting off Amber, ¡°Sleep with me. I am too tired to care right now.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Amber replied. I felt her turn in my arms, and she looked into my eyes. ¡°I am sorry.¡± ¡°I told you not to go too far.¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°Did you at least enjoy it?¡± I asked. ¡°You are good even when you are like that,¡± Amber replied, and I kissed her. ¡°That''s good.¡± ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Shut up and just sleep with me; I want to cuddle.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Amber pulled me close, and our breasts pressed together. I closed my eyes and allowed myself to sleep, knowing a memory would hit me in my dreams. Chapter 106: Bad Memories Waking up with someone next to me was odd. Amber was holding me, and we were still looking into each other''s eyes, with hers closed and mine not. I shivered in memory of the dreams I had from that. I realized that I sweat in the night, and I sighed, pulling myself out from Amber. ¡°Are you okay?¡± The words suddenly made me jump. I turned back to Amber and saw her worried expression. I smiled wryly and sighed, ¡°Yeah, I am. There is a reason I told you not to go too far with denial play.¡± ¡°You did. Although I am not much into the reversal play with you, I don''t mind it that much. I did enjoy myself. Although you started calling me a meat bag and my Goddess was very interesting,¡± Amber replied. ¡°I am not going to get away with not talking about it?¡± ¡°I would rather ask than not ask, but you don''t have to talk if you don''t want to.¡± ¡°But the curiosity is pretty immense right now,¡± I replied with a light tone. ¡°I am curious, but that is because I used to dig into secrets.¡± Amber admitted, ¡°But I am not going to pressure you. You were holding me pretty tight last night.¡± I sighed, closed my eyes, and shook my head. ¡°Honestly, I don''t want to talk about it,¡± I said. It is not a good memory,¡± and I paused, wondering if I should say the next words. ¡°And we just met, and not sure if you should dump a load of trauma on me when I have not even done the same with you?¡± Amber replied. I laughed, ¡°Yeah, we just met. You suddenly confessed, and I have no idea if I can trust you completely yet. It''s not an insult; it''s just too fast.¡± ¡°I am not going to get angry that I have not earned your complete trust yet. I used to deal in secrets with the RCMP. I literally cannot, without committing Treason, say some things about my past. So, I can understand the need to earn your trust; honestly, you still need to earn mine fully. We are just human creatures at the end of the day.¡± ¡°I am glad you understand. Let''s just say,¡± I paused, wondering if this was too much, and sighed once more. ¡°I had an interesting childhood. I think that is the best way to put it.¡± ¡°I just hope one day you will let me know.¡± ¡°Well, I guess you are planning to stick around for a while then,¡± I chuckled, and Amber pulled me in and stopped my chuckling with a kiss. We started to make out for a bit, and her hands grabbed my ass, and I broke the kiss as I felt myself harden. ¡°You know, I would rather take you in the shower right now,¡± I grinned, and Amber grinned. ¡°And what makes you think I want that?¡± ¡°Your hands on my ass.¡± ¡°I could just be coping a feel.¡± ¡°And I could be an idiot, but I really don''t think so.¡± Amber chuckled and replied, ¡°You will serve your Queen inside the Shower then.¡± Her sultry voice had me going, and I untangled myself from her, and I felt something still in my ass, and I reached back, and I moaned. My tail was still there, and I blushed, and it was a little wet. Pulled on it and felt the beads pop out one at a time till a string of eight popped free, and I gasped and shivered. ¡°I did not expect that to be so long, you little Kitty slut,¡± Amber purred on the bed, making me look at her on the bed. She was on her side, looking me up and down with a sultry look on her face that made my cock throb and harden more. ¡°I don''t mind things up there,¡± I replied with a soft smile. I just don''t usually bottom. Now I am demanding you get up.¡± Amber raised her eyebrow, and I rolled my eyes, ¡°Amber, I am going, to be honest; there are going to be times when I am just going to get in a dom mood,¡± I said, and Amber looked surprised, ¡°I am just going to suddenly get dominant and to be blunt, I am holding myself back right now from just taking what I want like I would with a sub,¡± I said my cock throbbing harder, ¡°You look so delicious to me right now, and you are going to have to bend sometimes if you want to make this work. I am not going to make you, and if you really don''t want to bend, this is going to get really hard.¡± This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Amber looked at me, then my throbbing hard cock. She licked her lips and looked back up at me, ¡°I don''t usually bend like that,¡± Amber said, making my expression turned hard, ¡°But I can also see what you mean,¡± Amber said, looking thoughtful, ¡°You are a switch, not a bottom Bitch. I am going to have to think more about this, but I don''t mind bending for you. I have been enjoying being around you. It is also a fun challenge. You both push back and can and will switch to dom in the middle of being a Sub if I push your boundaries. I did not hate last night, so I don''t mind bending for you.¡± I smiled as I heard her say that, and I leaned down till our faces were just an inch from each other. ¡°Good, Now get that fucking delicious ass up, Queen. I want to bury my cock into it inside the shower. Do you object?¡± I asked with a raised eyebrow, and Amber grinned, and she lifted a finger poking just under my chin. ¡°You are a naughty Kitty, Honey. But a little kitty deserves this queen''s reward,¡± Amber said, and I knew exactly what she was doing, and she got up I watched as she got up and started to head to my bathroom, which I assumed she learned last night, and I looked at her perfect ass. She stepped inside, and I followed her in. Watching her peach ass move into my shower, I followed her in, and I could feel my need to fuck her. My cock was throbbing, and I wanted to push her against the shower wall and take what I wanted. When I woke up, it did not take me long to notice that I was in a very dominant mood. It usually followed up after having that dream. My mind could not help but replay that moment in the past, and I moved forward. Amber gasped and let her body tense for a moment as I followed her into the shower and pinned her against the wall. ¡°You think you can do whatever you want to me?¡± I asked, my mind full of that memory that I just loathed. I hated it, and I dove my face into her neck, and I grabbed her ass, pulling it back, and my arm pushed her back against the wall pressing her breasts against the shower tiles. ¡°Think again; I am going to turn your little ass pussy into my fucking toy for me to fuck whenever I want.¡± ¡°What?¡± Amber sounded surprised, but I could not care less. I could see my brother in front of me, and I grabbed his ass and spread his ass, and I shoved my cock into his ass. Amber came back a moment later and moaned as I pushed into her tight little ass pussy, and I moaned, and I shivered as I thrust into her and my hips slapped against her ass. ¡°MMm, You think you can just tease me till I snap,¡± I growled, and I grabbed her hair, ¡°You think that I will just take everything?¡± I asked again against her neck, and I pulled back and shoved back in hard, and Amber¡¯s little asshole shivered on my cock. I could feel her tighten, and I pulled back and shoved myself inside her deep. ¡°Oh,¡± Amber moaned, and I felt her relax, but I pulled out and thrust back into her, and she purred for me. ¡°Haven''t had anal for a long time,¡± She moaned, and she pushed back into me, and I moaned and started to rail her even harder, making her moan, and I grabbed her hips and started to thrust. The Slaps inside the shower went faster and faster, and Amber moaned louder and louder as I took her ass. She shivered, and I felt her leak onto my legs as I made her squirt from her pussy. I fucked her ass, feeling it spasm on me. My mind blanked, and it sent me over the edge. I moaned and released a large spurt of cum inside of her and shivered with my cock still throbbing. ¡°Hmm, Are we done with only one round?¡± Amber asked as I pulled out, and I smiled and turned on the water, hosing us both down suddenly and quickly washing off my cock, ¡°Oh, I see,¡± She said with a smile turning around and lifting a leg up with a raised eyebrow. ¡°I would rather be kissing you this time.¡± I stepped forward, lined my cock up, and smiled, pressing my forehead against hers. Then I took her lips, moving my head down before pushing up into her as hot water poured down on us. The sounds of her moans were muffled as we kissed in an intoxicating dance of pleasure, and we moved together to make it the most enjoyable experience possible. It took us almost an hour before we left the shower cleaned up, and I walked to my computer, turning it on. ¡°I really should not have been offline this long,¡± I sighed as I sat down naked at my computer and pulled up and winced at the chat records for my voting page. I started to quickly type up an explanation that something came up last night that was personal. I will be back tonight and lower the cost for today''s votes by fifty percent in apology. Quickly, with a follow-up, Amber came up behind me, grabbing my breasts, and I leaned back and looked up at her as I typed. ¡°You really should take more breaks,¡± Amber said. ¡°And I will once I am out of this Tutorial,¡± I said bluntly, ¡°I need to finish this sooner rather than later, but at the same time, I cannot lose my character. It''s stressful, and with me starting a corporation, it is only going to get harder before I hit the main universe, let alone once I am there.¡± I licked my lips before sighing, ¡°It is what it is, but once the speed slows down, I can start lightening up and taking some time. However, the first people to properly complete the tutorial will have an advantage. I know I will not be the first to leave, though. There will be idiots that rush through it as fast as possible. Like the ones who broke their contracts and found out the hard way needing to recreate their characters.¡± I chuckled, ¡°Rest in peace, idiots.¡± Amber chuckled, pulled back, and started to grab her clothing. She put on a bra and panties, and I frowned. ¡°You look so good without them,¡± I said. ¡°Thanks, but I want to play today as well, so that means going home. Do you want to do this again soon?¡± Amber asked. ¡°We should go out when we do do it,¡± I replied, ¡°Maybe we should both fuck Ola,¡± I said thoughtfully. ¡°Or that couple that I know. Maybe I knocked her up,¡± I said in thought. I shrugged, ¡°We can plan later though.¡± ¡°Mmm, yes, we can,¡± Amber said, leaned down, and kissed me as I finished my message. When the kiss broke, I looked over my message, put it out, and then set up the discount. I got up, turned, and grabbed some pants and a tank top. Meanwhile, Amber finished getting dressed and gathering her stuff, and I watched her head to the door. ¡°You are leaving really quickly,¡± I complained. ¡°And you said you need to game, so I need to go,¡± Amber replied with a mischievous smile. I walked forward and kissed her. ¡°You know,¡± I said once I broke the kiss, ¡°I am only a little sorry for last night. I warned you not to do what you did when we first met.¡± ¡°I accept responsibility. Go, game. I want to see you soon. I am going to text you tonight. Respond when you can, Honey.¡± Amber smiled, kissed me, put on her shoes, and walked out of the apartment without another word. I watched her go. I turned, walked to my freezer, and pulled out a frozen meal that I had popped into the microwave. I sighed, closed the microwave door, and I closed my eyes. Memories from when I was younger with my perverted fucking brother. He was always the perfect child. The perfect golden boy who never did wrong. And he was a fucking pervert. Losing my Gag reflex was only one of the things he ¡®taught¡¯ me, and I hated him. My mother never believed me, though, and I pushed the memory aside. This was why I warned Amber. I was a little annoyed that she did it. I told her not to push denial play that far. It reminded me of one of the few times that I retaliated against my brother, and I shuddered. I needed a distraction. Moving back to my bedroom, I quickly double-checked everything and noticed a bunch of messages of support wishing me luck. I sighed, feeling a little guilty that I purposefully made them misunderstand, but sometimes I needed a night off randomly. I quickly pulled up a couple of precision machining videos that I might need and headed to my pod. Opening the lid, I decided to dive into the universe of Galaxy Online. There was no way it would not distract me from memories. Chapter 107: First Lesson Entering Galaxy Online once more, I got back to work, diving into crafting and not thinking of the outside world. With my mind occupied, it did not take me long before I was suddenly pulled out of thought by Ura¡¯s announcement that we were about to exit Slipspace at our next destination and that we would make planetfall in another two hours. For those two hours, I worked on my job without further thought and enjoyed myself. I quickly learned that crafting guns was a lot of fun. I was thinking about doing a half-dozen things when it came to shotguns, but the main thing that still weighed on my mind was whether I should pick up an engineer to make mobile traps. The thought of making a Drone myself was daunting. It is not part of my profession, meaning I would have to hire someone else. I realized that this made more sense since we''re making an organization. Custom parts and tools for our bounty hunters only made sense, and it could also incentivize people to look for us when we entered the Main universe. There was always after the Tutorial, which only created a Starting position, and who knew what others got out of their tutorials. For myself, I wanted to have as much as possible, and starting off with an organization sounded amazing. Recruiters, Bounty Hunters, Engineers, crafters, and so many more things had to happen in this. That was what was promised by large organizations to do all of that for you. My mind blanked, and my eyes widened as I realized that the main people who would thrive in this environment were not Call of Duty virtual reality players. I was thinking too small. The realization that there was one other not-so-popular Virtual reality game that had traction in the past. I did not know how many would come over from there, but it was a VRMMO that played in a fantasy world, had basic Crafting system, and did not promise half of what Gabin Corporation promised with Galaxy Online. There was one thing that those players that crossed over would get. MMORPG experience in Virtual reality and the basic workings of a professional guild setup. People making weapons, potions, and various other basics for the combat professions. That is something that many of the other professional game companies would not have, so I closed my eyes. Then again, I was an amateur looking to make a corporation of my own, so I would be coming at this from behind anyway. So, I guess I should stop worrying about what advantages others have and play with the hand that I have dealt. This meant fixing my weaknesses with NPCs in the Tutorial. I was out of the ¡®system¡¯ intended area allowed to gather things, and although I was fucked in some respects. One thing I did know was that I was better off hoping that they would allow me to bring everything into the main universe, including NPCs. ¡°Honey, can you suit up?¡± I heard over the ship system getting my attention, and I got up and walked over to my suit, putting my previous thoughts away. We only had so much money, and I would have to work within my means, which was not what I wished. I was already at an advantage, so let''s work on that and move forward. I felt the ship jar a little as it set down on the ground, and I finished putting on my armor. I opened the hatch and walked toward the bridge in full armor, with all my guns, prioritizing my shotgun for close-range combat at this moment. Ura stepped out of the bridge and smiled, ¡°The inspectors will be here in a minute,¡± Ura informed me, and I grinned. ¡°Then let''s do this,¡± I replied. Three hours later, with a very strict scanning process, we finally finished the inspection, and I could tell the inspectors were nervous, not of me, but of the condition. They were on high alert about something, and I could only guess that it was the very reason that we were here. When they walked out, Ura grinned, turning to me. ¡°Another successful job pass. We need to deliver and move on. I already have two more contracts, so we are going to be busy.¡± Ura said, and I nodded. ¡°I am going to bring Emma this time. I want her to watch what we do and get started learning a bit. I am going to fit her with a handgun and a sawed-off shotgun.¡± I replied to Ura, and she frowned. ¡°You sure that is a good idea?¡± Ura asked. ¡°She may not have reached the physical standards yet, but the experience will do her good. She needs to learn we are not good people and that she will be on the dirty side of the business.¡± Ura chuckled and grinned, ¡°Okay,¡± Then she looked me up and down, ¡°I think after two or three more contracts, we should book a hotel room for some fun.¡± This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. I grinned and pulled up the face mask of my armor before pinning her to the wall and kissing her. Locking lips, I deepened the kiss till she was moaning and all bothered before I broke it, ¡°Of course. Now we have a contract to complete.¡± I said, grinning, looking at Ura¡¯s lusty expression. I was outraged as I started to walk away to go find Emma. Emma did not take long to find, and I grinned as she was covered in sweat inside the crew quarters. I could see her trying her best to do more and more push-ups, and I stood on the ladder, ¡°Emma,¡± I snapped, and she fell to the floor, smacking her face against the floor as she jumped from the scare and turned to me with wide eyes. ¡°You are joining us on a delivery. You got five minutes to change and get ready to go. I will be giving you a gun. Now hurry up,¡± I snapped, jumped, and walked to my compartment to gather supplies for the girl. To my surprise, four minutes later, with her hair wet, Emma walked into my room looking sexy in a white tank top and black cargo pants. I realized that we had not suited her up properly. I quickly tossed her the harness that I used when I started to play the game. Emma grabbed it, but I saw her wince as the muscle pain was probably there. I said nothing, though, as she started to put it on, and I put three handgun magazines on my workbench and a shotgun with twelve shells. ¡°This is what you get for today. If something happens, you listen to orders but also protect yourself. I will not be mad if you fuck up as long as we all leave alive and preferably with Credits entering our bank accounts.¡± I told her. ¡°Yes, Mistress, thank you for giving me this opportunity.¡± She said with a grin. Her arms were already starting to bulk up a little, and she grabbed her guns and ammo. It took her a minute to find where everything went, and I got up and walked to the door and watched her finish before we left the compartment together, fully loaded. As we walked out, an air lorry landed near our ship. The ship opened up, and we started to bring the containers into the air lorry. It only took us ten minutes, and we loaded up the illegal cargo. ¡°We are going to our special delivery first before the legitimate one. We need to ensure that everything goes according to plan.¡± Ura said, and I nodded as we finished loading up the air lorry. Ura moved to the front and started to piolet the ship. Leaving Emma and me alone. I turned to look at Emma who was looking a little lost at what was going on and I grinned. ¡°So, our job right now is not bounty hunting,¡± i said as the Lorry took off toward our destination. ¡°Can you tell me what you think our current job is?¡± I asked. ¡°Protection of the cargo,¡± Emma replied confidently. ¡°Who do you think we are delivering these containers to?¡± I asked. ¡°Business partners?¡± Emma replied, and I chuckled. ¡°Business Partners?¡± I chuckled, ¡°These are people out for themselves, Emma. Bounty hunting is dangerous, but I have ended up in just as many fights, if not more, protecting cargo as bounty hunting. So we will be on guard; we must protect Ura with our lives. She is our payday; she is the one who feeds you and owns you. Without her, we are fucked, and no deals will be made, and we will be planet locked. So, Protect her and kill anyone who tries or threatens to harm her.¡± I snapped, and she nodded. ¡°What in the Cargo container?¡± She asked, and my hand was on her throat the next second, and I was choking her with an iron grip. ¡°NEVER FUCKIGN ASK THAT QUESTION!¡± I snapped harshly, ¡°We are here to deliver a package, not fucking ask what is inside. Especially you,¡± I sneered, ¡°We are protection guards, Bounty Hunters in that order. We protect our ship and cargo with those people who facilitate that first, and then we are bounty hunters. Now,¡± I said, letting her go, and she gasped, falling to one knee. ¡°Is that all understood?¡± I asked bluntly. ¡°Yes, Mistress,¡± She coughed out after a moment, and I helped her up. ¡°Good, these are things you need to understand. Now, let me see you pick a place in this Air lorry to best protect your boss while she is in the pilot seat.¡± I said and stepped back. ¡°What does this have to do with Bounty hunting, though?¡± Emma asked. I sighed and pressed my armored hand against my armored face. ¡°Everything,¡± I said, taking a moment to gather my thoughts. ¡°What do you think is the most important thing in battle?¡± I asked. ¡°Firepower?¡± Emma replied, and I almost smacked her. ¡°I am really going to fucking have to start from the beginning?¡± I asked her and sighed. ¡°How the fuck did you not learn this while you were a sniper?¡± I asked, ¡°What is the most important thing when you''re a sniper?¡± ¡°Position and Aim.¡± ¡°Good. Now, what is more important?¡± I continued, ¡°Position or Aim?¡± ¡°Um, aim because if you can''t hit a target, then what''s the point of position?¡± I winced because she wasn''t wrong. ¡°True, but Position is more important.¡± I said before explaining, ¡°It does not matter what your aim is if you park yourself in a place that you will, no matter what godly aim you have, cannot hit them, Correct?¡± ¡°Okay, I am following,¡± Emma said, blushing as she started to realize. ¡°Good, now think about what I did when I captured you.¡± ¡°You came up from behind us. Knocked us out before we even had a chance.¡± ¡°EXCELLENT.¡± I said, clapping. Now, I positioned myself in a better place so that I could take you out Silently. That is how important positioning is. You had a position that gave you a massive view, but that position has downsides, like you cannot see the entrance of the cave you were in. Now, do you understand?¡± I asked. ¡°You are saying that the positioning that you want me to do protection will also teach me positioning in bounty hunting.¡± ¡°EXACTLY~!¡± I happily said, ¡°Now, pick a position to defend Ura while she is in the cockpit.¡± I said with a grin What happened next was an hour of me going over various positions that Emma took and their upsides and downsides. Although Emma started off slow, I could tell that she was actually starting to pick up what I was teaching. She started talking about various things when people saw her in the air lorry, depending on their state of mind, which had me over the moon with happiness. Then, finally, the Air lorry landed, and Ura came out of the pilot seat and smiled as Emma was sweaty again, running around all over the cargo containers and around the air lorry itself. She looked at me, and I smiled, ¡°She is learning,¡± I said, ¡°Now, Emma, your job is to stand beside Ura. You will act as her guard, and I will be around. Do not think about me or look in my direction during Ura¡¯s conversation with the client. Understood?¡± ¡°Yes, Mistress.¡± She replied, and Ura looked at me as I went to the corner. My passive camouflage took me out of sight, and I put my sniper rifle and assault rifle to the side, taking my shotgun as my primary this time. I blended in and waited, wondering if this was going to go south yet again. Chapter 108: Novice Combat Trainer The air lorry¡¯s door opened as I watched, and a minute later, a couple of aliens who I felt might be men came inside. They were all blue-tinted men with three arms, which looked a bit weird. It was at the back, and their bodies wrapped around it. It looked off to me as their body wrapped around the backhand. But my eyes were drawn to the holster attached to the back with a handgun. Both were holding onto it, and it was resting with the finger on the trigger. My eyes narrowed, and I wanted to sigh. Just one delivery. Seriously, how many times are these dumbasses trying to rob us? ¡°So you have my stuff?¡± One of them asked, walking up. ¡°Are you here for Container 3559 dash 998765?¡± Ura asked in reply, her voice professional, but I could see her eyes narrow as I readied my shotgun and aimed at them. The man pulled up a tablet, and I could see his gun hand get itchy and sneer. I thought about what to do if that gun left the holster, and I turned my head slowly to look out to see if there was more outside the lorry. I noted one more of whatever species this was, and I frowned as the guy looked nervous. So I decided what I was going to do and slowly moved to the side. I moved into position, and Ura noticed my movement. The guy finally answered her, ¡°Yes, I am looking for that container. It says here that I owe the second half of the shipping fees, " the man said. ¡°Normal practice,¡± Ura replied, ¡°You pay half up front, half at the destination, and if I could, you would have to pay into a separate account that gets dropped off to me on successful delivery.¡± The complaint seemed to make the man chuckle, but the hand slowly pulled out the handgun from his back, and I moved. I turned, and I aimed at the guy in the back who pulled out an assault rifle from his back, and I aimed and pulled the trigger. The sudden cough of my shotgun startled the men, but the man in the back had a hole the size of a fist through his chest as the slug smashed through him. I turned, and my hand grabbed the man before me by the neck; they gasped at the sudden violence, and I smashed the man down to the ground, making him scream. My foot then smashed down on his stomach while I aimed my shotgun at the second. Emma looked alarmed and surprised at the sudden eruption of violence and gasped. The last alien man was holding all three hands up with the handgun in his hand aimed in the air. ¡°Don''t shoot!¡± The one who had been talking was the only one standing, and he shivered. ¡°I mean no harm.¡± ¡°You are fucking stupid If you think I believe that, dumb fuck,¡± I snapped, with no one being able to see the sneer on my face. My foot moved to the guy''s neck, who was on the ground, and I cut off his oxygen before he could even start to struggle. ¡°Fuck, I did not know you had Armor!¡± The man cried, and I barked a laugh. ¡°So, you would have tried to kill us if I wasn''t wearing armor?¡± I asked, and the man¡¯s eyes widened. I sighed. ¡°Slowly lower your gun while aiming it at your foot, and then put it to the ground and kick it to the startled white girl,¡± I ordered. The man turned to look at Emma and nodded. Slowly, ever so slowly, he brought down the gun while aiming it at himself a little before he put it on the ground behind him. Then he stepped back over the gun and kicked it over to Emma, and she grabbed it quickly. ¡°Good. Now, it is your turn,¡± I said, motioning to Ura, and she smiled. ¡°Well, do you want the container or not?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Y- Yes,¡± The man said, and Ura smiled. ¡°There is a dumbass fee and ammo fee. So, you will pay my guard here for showing you the stupidity of your ways. I think fifteen percent is good, right?¡± Ura asked, and the man gulped. ¡°I- I don''t have that kind of money,¡± The man said. ¡°Then give me everything you do have,¡± Ura replied bluntly. Then, Ura walked over to him without getting in my way. Slowly reach into your pocket and get any transfer chips you have on you.¡± Over the next twenty minutes, it was a slow process. Ura got them to pay up, and I allowed the guy on the ground to breathe, but he coughed, gasping for air. It was another stupid delivery that ended with us giving them a shit ton of guns in a cargo container, and one of their people died. Honestly, I will not allow Ura to deliver to these dumb fucks again. They will hate us for this in the future, and now they will have the means to do something about it. ¡°Now, We are blacklisting your organization for future deliveries with our company,¡± Ura finished as she smiled. The man did not look distressed, but I don''t think he understood what that meant. ¡°Now, Get the fuck out of my lorry with your cargo, you have five minutes to take your shit and go, or it leaves with us.¡± Ura snapped at him and stepped out of the way, and I stepped off the man on the ground, pulled him up to his feet, and grabbed the gun that was trapped under him before he could do anything. The man''s arm was broken, and I could see a grey bone sticking out and with blue blood leaking around it, and the man was stone-faced. I watched the main guy run, grab the cargo lift they brought, and grab their shipment of weapons to cause chaos and leave the air lorry. It was nice to see them go. Ura got into the pilot seat and took off before I sighed in relief, lifted my face mask, and sighed once more. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Is that every delivery?¡± Emma asked. ¡°Not all, but fuck is it common lately,¡± I said with a sneer, ¡°We have had an abnormal amount of attempted thefts,¡± I said and Emma shivered. ¡°It was so fast, I did not even see them pulling their weapons,¡± Emma said, and I sighed. ¡°That is the reason your positioning and demeanor matter, Emma,¡± I told her bluntly, ¡°You looked fucking pathetic beside Ura. You looked nervous; you looked like you did not know what you were doing and were not even ready to rumble for seconds after the very short battle began.¡± The shame on her face was readily apparent, and I sighed again. ¡°Emma, you did not do bad, you did not run away, you did not scream, and when you had something to do, you did not freeze. So those are good things,¡± I told her, thinking about people when they first played Call of Duty in Virtual reality. I had to admit the realism was unreal to me at first. I had frozen even though I knew it was a game and the world was just subtly wrong all over. That wasn''t apparent here, and Emma was an NPC; this was her world. Still, it hit me again how real all of this felt. It was like she was real, and her interactions were real. The fact that I could control the speed inside this world in comparison to the one outside reminded me that this was a game. The unreal amount of AI power made me feel weird about URa, too. I did want to taste that milk again, too. My mouth watered with the last thought, and I turned to Emma, who looked to be in thought. ¡°Emma,¡± I said, gathering her attention once more, ¡°You did not do poorly,¡± I told her, and she looked at me surprised. ¡°What? I did not react at all!¡± She complained in return, and I chuckled. ¡°Okay, this is your Second Lesson,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°What do you think is the worst thing to do in a firefight?¡± I asked. ¡°Not react?¡± ¡°Nope, that is stupid in its own right, but there are three things that most species,¡± I began, although I was thinking about humans in reality, ¡°All react to sudden Violence.¡± I told her, and she looked at me very interested, ¡°There is Flight,¡± I continued, ¡°Where you run and try to escape,¡± I told her and smiled, ¡°A perfectly understandable and might save your life method. Hell, as a bounty Hunter, you will sometimes be running for your life. Flight is a perfect thing to do in certain circumstances, and it is good to do if you are put in a position where you cannot win. Just running might mean you can reposition yourself in a place where you can win the fight or gather reinforcements. A very good reaction in a lot of cases.¡± I said, and Emma nodded. ¡°Okay,¡± Emma replied, and I chuckled. ¡°The Second is a fight,¡± I told her and nodded with a smile, ¡°One of the best things to do but not always the right decision, but oftentimes, as a bounty hunter, it will be something that you must do. We are killers, but when in a sudden situation like that, pulling out a gun and shooting the person before they can shoot you neutralizes the threat. A great response but not always the best option when outnumbered or, for many reasons, not a great choice when doing things like what we were just doing. But those are exceptions. So fight would be a good option.¡± Emma nodded, so I continued, ¡°The last thing is nothing. Sometimes you are just good and fucked in a sudden eruption of violence, and you are fucked,¡± I told her, and surprise was more than evident. ¡°What do you do when you are unarmed, in a cell with a guy holding a gun at you?¡± I asked, ¡°Fight?¡± I chuckled, ¡°You gonna have an entire clip of bullets in you before you can hit them if they are any sort of competent. Flight?¡± I asked again, and Emma looked thoughtful. I continued, ¡°Where can you run? You''re trapped! So doing nothing is the best. There are a number of scenarios in which something can surprise you, and doing nothing is the best decision. So remember that doing nothing like you did can actually be a great choice. Think about what might have happened if you whipped our gun out as I neutralized the one that I smashed to the ground?¡± I asked before answering myself, ¡°You would have shot me! That is a horrible choice!¡± I exclaimed ¡°So, then, what was the worst choice?¡± Emma asked. ¡°PANICKING!¡± I snapped, ¡°If you lose your cool and start doing stupid things without rhyme or reason, you can kill everyone. You become your own enemy! So, the first thing that you need to learn is not to panic. You froze this time, which is a very mild form of panicking. Now, we are going to slowly teach you not to panic and the right ways to react to situations.¡± Emma smiled, ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± ¡°It is good that you understand where I was going.¡± I said with a grin, ¡°I think you might be learning quickly, but that means implementing what you learn, too. We are about to reach the next delivery destination, and with our fucking luck, we are going to potentially be robbed once more. So I want to see you do three things this time.¡± I told her, and she looked at me seriously, eating up each word. ¡°You are going to stand with Confidence,¡± I told her, much to her surprise. ¡°Confidence does a lot; you are in charge; you will fuck them up and kill them all if they try to do anything to Ura. That is what you need to project all while just standing there. It doesn''t matter if you can or not or shitting your panties. You stand there and look at them like trash that you wipe your ass with. That is what you need to project all while standing there, ARMED. Get it?¡± I finished with the question. ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Emma replied, and I smiled. ¡°Second, position yourself in a place that allows you the freedom to act and protect Ura from the men coming to pick up the cargo. Ura is your lifeblood; without her, you may as well be dead. It doesn''t matter that you could live later; you would have a life so miserable without her that you will hate life more than the sweet kiss of death. Understood?¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Emma said with more confidence. This time, I could see the determination in her eyes, and I nodded. ¡°Good. Now, the last one is to watch everything about them while doing the other two,¡± I told her. Confusion instantly covered her expression. ¡°In fact, if nothing happens with the next guests, I am going to ask you questions about each of them. They might be large details or small details. Do not distract yourself from the other two things, but I want you to watch everything about them while not paying attention to anything explicitly. You need to watch ALL of them, not just one person. Understood?¡± ¡°Y¡ªYeah,¡± Emma said a little more unsurely. But why am I doing that?¡± ¡°You can ask that after,¡± I said, and I grinned, walking back to my corner and chuckled as I opened up my shotgun and replaced the slug. That dipshit I held at gunpoint never even noticed that I had not pumped my shotgun and put a new shell into the gun. So I could not shoot him without pumping my gun. That told me the level of lethal they were. Those underground gorillas did not send their best, or they were not going to last long if that was the level of training they had. Asura should have sent some training manuals or people with the package so that they could actually use those guns. I chuckled as I remembered times in Call of Duty when people used the pump shotgun and did not realize that they forgot to put another shell in the chamber. One of the viral videos of me in the pro league was of me walking into a room in a one-on-one and walking up to the guy with a massive grin that everyone thought was suicidal. I slowly lifted my gun and shot him as he pulled the trigger of his shotgun; full of pride and disdain for me when it did not fire, I chuckled and said, ¡°You forgot to pump your shotgun, dumbass,¡± The words were recorded for the world as I used the public chat and his eyes widened and with a sadistic smile I shot him in the head with a gun as he tried to jump away while pumping his shotgun. Counting bullets and sounds was very important in small engagements. The sound of their steps, the number of bullets they fired, and magazine size were all little details that, if you know, you can make decisions that put others at a disadvantage. It can even give you complete immunity while they thought they were stronger. I was a star player in Call of Duty. I knew many little details, and it helped me a lot in this world. Adapting was hard, but it was interesting. I loved this experience, and I could not wait to have the ability to respawn so I did not have to stress as much about things. Suddenly, I got a notification, and I pulled it up. ¡ª-- New Trait Unlocked: Novice Combat Trainer Those who walk the walk, do. Those who don¡¯t, Teach. ¡ª--- I looked at the notification, and I sneered at the stupid quote. Then I thought about what it meant and I wondered what triggered it. Did Emma learn everything today? Then why not before the combat and now after? Did she learn now? Would something change? I frowned, and my thoughts rolled through me as I waited for the next delivery. Chapter 109: Last Change Much to my surprise, the next delivery was without incident. They came in, paid for the delivery, and left. I felt happiness mixed with a little frustration, as it was something that I could use to train Emma. But as we were traveling back, I started to grill Emma about the people who had just picked up their stuff from us. Emma was trying her best to soak it up. I could see her trying her best to take in everything I said. She struggled but answered about seven things about each of the aliens that picked up the cargo from us. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of detail that she was able to soak in for the brief period that those aliens were here. It boded well if she was observant. It made me wonder why she was a slut in that camp. I knew it was for survival, but I think she might have undersold herself and could do better in combat. But we would need to go out and do a bounty mission or two before I trust her to do anything more than that. That being said, the pick-ups and deliveries on this planet after the first were quiet; all I had to do was lecture Emma. But as we made it back to the ship, I stopped. I let Emma take time and soak in the knowledge even though I was slightly less green than her in combat. My Call of Duty Virtual Reality pro experience was all I had to hold me up in my lectures. I remember coaches going over positioning and tactics with me more than once, and I sighed. It wasn''t the same, but they were similar, so I did my best to give her that information. After lecturing her for the day, I immediately gave my character some food and a nap before I went to crafting. Ura was busy starting to put together a longer and longer list of deliveries, leaving us no time together. It was for the best, as I was still on the fence about how I was feeling about it, along with Amber. I continued to work without restraint and jumped between the real world and crafting in Galaxy Online. Over a day passed when I heard a knock on the door, and I turned to see Ura opening the door to my armory. ¡°Hey, we need to chat,¡± Ura said, and I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. We need to talk about staffing,¡± Ura said, pulling out a tablet and looking at me. ¡°I have made contact with a recruiting agency, and I was discussing some things with them and the start of our new corporation,¡± Ura told me, and I turned to her and leaned back with a frown. ¡°So what did they say?¡± I asked. ¡°First of all, we are going to need a lawyer in Federation law to set up some things for us to properly incorporate. We have to pick out one ourselves, but they sent a couple of recommendations. The good news is that we can do this all remotely; the bad news is that we have to talk to a core world prick because we need an interplanetary shipping company license, which is free with registration as an interplanetary shipping identity,¡± Ura said with a frown. ¡°Basically bureaucratic hell,¡± I replied, and Ura nodded. ¡°Yes, but I agree with them; we need the legal identity now that I am not an individual shipper.¡± ¡°Okay, what next?¡± ¡°We need a list of the people we want to recruit for our first wave of hires. The recruitment agency will take a ten percent cut based on their yearly wage, which we will be paying them.¡± Ura continued as I sighed more. ¡°Okay, so I guess I should say this now, then,¡± I said, and Ura looked at me, a little surprised at my words. ¡°I think we might need to set up a headquarters where we can do research and development and hiring,¡± I told her, much to her surprise. ¡°Why would we need that?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Because I think we should set ourselves up for success, Ura,¡± I told her. ¡°Elaborate,¡± Ura said, crossing her arms under her breasts, and I felt my cock twitch as I looked at her massive breasts, and I thought about the milk. ¡°God, I want to drink from those soon,¡± I replied without thought. Ura blushed and looked cute a moment later. ¡°W-we can soon,¡± Ura replied, looking away. ¡°We will have some time when we go to the recruiter''s office. I gave us a week with them,¡± Ura said, and I grinned. ¡°Perfect, I can take Emma on a bounty mission after we enjoy ourselves. ¡°Nope, we are going to be busy with the recruiters, and I refuse to do this alone as this was your idea,¡± Ura said, glaring at me with shy embarrassment that had gone as it had never appeared. I winced, ¡°Can we make it a couple of days then?¡± I asked. Ura frowned, ¡°I-¡± She paused and brought up her Tablet, ¡°No, we can''t. I got a delivery for after that already set in, and we have a priority from that Loan Asura, but after that delivery, we can stop for three days on that planet, no more, or we will become late.¡± ¡°Okay, I need to train Emma more,¡± I said, leaning back. ¡°But, going back to the previous topic, I think we need a headquarters, Ura. One not on a Core world but on a first-class planet. A place where we can set up a bounty office and train Bounty hunters.¡± Ura looked at me, a little confused, ¡°I need you to elaborate more.¡± ¡°Look, the largest problem we are going to encounter is that we are going to run into a fuck tonne of manpower problems, especially with our less than appropriate cargo. Right?¡± ¡°I''m following.¡± ¡°One I am suggesting is a headquarters that does research and development for various things but also does more important things,¡± I said, holding up my fist and bringing up one finger, ¡°First, Manpower and training. They will hire bounty hunters and train them on the planet to hunt and bring in small bounties on the planet. That way, we can find skilled bounty hunters to put on ships. We can also find the less than reputable bounty hunters and have them on our interesting ships,¡± I said with a massive smile. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Ura nodded, understanding, ¡°I can see how that would be useful. It would also weed out bad bounty hunters, saving us time or potentially a ship.¡± ¡°Exactly,¡± I said, then held up another finger. ¡°Second, it allows us to hire and man ships, so we can check the ships delivered to us with our own people and let them get used to the ship before sending them out to do deliveries.¡± ¡°That is not a very good reason, but I am following,¡± Ura said. ¡°Then the last reason is a place to craft, develop, engineer, and manufacture custom equipment for our corporation.¡± I finished with my third finger up. ¡°Why would we need that?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Many reasons,¡± I said with a grin, pointing to my armor,¡± Imagine ambush armor on all our bounty hunters?¡± I asked, and Ura looked more thoughtful. ¡°Or even just normal armor? Each of our crews would have bounty hunters that would scare the average dipshit that is looking to rob us. Then, there are weapons and DEVICES that I cannot make on the ship. Imagine if I can send out a drone for battle?¡± I asked her, ¡°So many various things that can give us a leg up in battle. But we need someone not interrupted every time we land on a planet to be doing that and not getting inspected.¡± Ura looked much more thoughtful, and she leaned against the bulkhead. I lowered my hand, and I could see her mind working quickly. ¡°This is bad business at first,¡± Ura said, ¡°We are going to make less on each shipment, and our Loan does not cover this.¡± ¡°Valid, but I also don''t give a fuck, Ura.¡± I replied, ¡°Think about it like this,¡± I said and paused, ¡°We are smugglers; we can start selling some of our own shit and smuggle it into places and making massive money on it.¡± ¡°You want to set up an arms company?¡± Ura asked. ¡°Yes and no,¡± I replied. ¡°I want to set up an Illegal, non-traceable company using our own smugglers returning home to deliver supplies in the future and use that to fund various other things.¡± She frowned harder, ¡°Not possible early,¡± Ura said. ¡°I am not saying to start too early; I am saying we find a planet and start to recruit for it.¡± ¡°But that is starting early,¡± Ura said. ¡°All I want is an engineer working on devices,¡± I told her. ¡°To start, we''ll get some kids out of university looking for a job and give them the freedom to run around and make what they want as long as it is effective.¡± ¡°You mean only graduate hiring?¡± Ura asked. I smiled. ¡°Well, I don''t think we can hire the best of the best, so we aim for those on second-class and third-class planets and bring them to a first-tier planet,¡± I finished. Now Ura looked intrigued and smiled, ¡°Bringing them out of the trash worlds will create a lot of goodwill. We will allow them to live in the company and not leave; we can suppress their wages at first. They will also be out of squalor and thankful for that.¡± ¡°Exactly, and I am sure there are a couple that the Recruitment agency would love to pawn off on us for a low price. There are always those that they have that they can''t seem to offload.¡± ¡°You want to hire the trash,¡± Ura said with a frown. ¡°Why not?¡± I asked back. ¡°Because it is a waste of money,¡± Ura replied, and I chuckled. ¡°Think about it differently,¡± I said slowly, ¡°They are on Tier 3 plants; remember the one I was on?¡± I asked. ¡°Well, yeah, it was a desert planet and miserable. There were only small towns, and companies were basically the law,¡± Ura replied. ¡°Most Tier Three planets are like that, so the education is poor, and tickets for the planet are few and far between because companies don''t want cheap labor to leave.¡± ¡°Now, they are educated though?¡± I asked. ¡°Some usually have to sign a contract with a company.¡± I frowned as I heard her say this and tapped my fingers on the workbench. ¡°But you could basically say, in exchange for a certain amount of time, all your inventions belonging to us, get them off the planet after working for us. If we wish to continue hiring them afterward, we will have to hire them for an industry standard of one planet wage,¡± I said, and Ura looked thoughtful, ¡°then all we need to do is provide food and shelter, maybe a little entertainment money as an extra. Then you have almost free labor while they get to play with the things they want to play with and a ticket away from the companies they are trying to run from.¡± ¡°This will create enemies,¡± Ura replied, looking at me, and I smiled. ¡°What do you think the illegal part of our operations is for?¡± I asked. ¡°We just ship some weapons to the local organizations that hate the companies if they start to become annoying. I am sure our new Asura friend will be happy to help us with that.¡± Ura looked surprised and chuckled, ¡°You know this can be a really stupid move,¡± Ura said. ¡°Well, if we are going to create an organization that needs to grow, eventually, all the ships we just bought are not going to be enough, Ura.¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± ¡°I mean, we already said if we are going to do this, let''s go big or go broke. The worst thing that happens is we run to the Empire or the Kingdom or die trying.¡± Ura bit her lip, ¡°I don''t like the thought of going full traitor to the federation but,¡± Ura smiled, ¡°Okay fuck it, let''s do that, I will start bringing some things up with the recruiters, but we need to planet shop for a place that meets the criteria. A Tier one Planet with a strong criminal element that we can train bounty hunters.¡± ¡°Also needs to be a little central in this region of space, and we should have it not too far away from a large Pirate station so we can purchase slaves as needed without going out of our way.¡± ¡°Hmmm,¡± Ura started to work on her tablet and frowned. ¡°I found the perfect planet, but this place is a cesspit,¡± she said. ¡°A Tier one planet a cesspit?¡± I asked. ¡°It''s called Burvine; it was a planet terraformed a couple of centuries ago, and the entire population lives on floating cities held up by countergrav.¡± Ura said, ¡°It is a planet with a booming spaceport that brings in so many off-world supplies that it is a surprise that the planet has any use. But it has a key mining material that a lot of Slipstream drives use. The resources on Burvine are excessive, and so an entire industry grew from it along with crime. The crime rate on this planet is thirty out of a hundred people die of crime. But because of the large amount of resources on the planet, people are able to strike it rich. So the planet''s surface, although you can''t stay on it too long without a hazard suit, is very popular, and the tech is at Tier one.¡± I frowned, ¡°Thirty percent out of a hundred?¡± I asked, ¡°That is fucking high.¡± ¡°Well, it is inflated because of all the treasure hunters; more than ninety percent of those deaths are people heading down to the surface. If we set up a corporation headquarters in the cities, we can use the surface as a training ground for the excessive amount of bounties ranging from high to low on the surface to train recruits.¡± ¡°So it is safe in the cities but deadly on the surface,¡± I said in thought. ¡°Yeah, and if we create a dry dock there, eventually, we would have a lot of room to grow. ¡°Plus, as an added benefit,¡± Ura grinned this time. ¡°This planet has a much less strict inspection than you would think for a tier-one planet. That and it will cost less to make slipstream drives.¡± I shrugged, ¡°Should we start with that as our first choice and look for secondary options?¡± I asked. ¡°I can do that. I will set up the lawyer in a day. To my knowledge, they work pretty fast.¡± ¡°Then let''s do that,¡± I said, getting up and walking toward Ura. As she looked down, making notes, I brought up a greasy hand and rubbed her cheek, making her look at me in surprise as I took her lips. Ura tensed for the slightest moment, then melted into my embrace, wrapping her arms around my neck. Moments passed in each other''s embrace as our tongues intertwined and danced together, leaving us both breathless when we broke the kiss. ¡°I look forward to reading what you come up with,¡± I told her. Ura shuddered, and I moved to kiss her again, but this time, she stopped me. ¡°Sorry, but I have a comms meeting very soon,¡± Ura said, and I could see her looking over my shoulder at her tablet. ¡°I have only five minutes.¡± I frowned and pouted as my cock was hard looking at her massive breasts, but she was a busy woman, and I stepped back, ¡°Okay,¡± I replied with a bit of a pout, and Ura then frowned at me. ¡°You know, no more changing our plans though, SleepyWonder,¡± Ura said, looking at me solidly, ¡°We are looking to do a lot in a short period of time, and we cannot excessively keep adding things to the plan. We need room to be able to adapt in case things go wrong, and each new thing we add will limit our flexibility. THIS IS THE LAST THING WE ADD!¡± Ura said, putting her foot down clearly. ¡°I understand, I-¡± I paused, ¡°I think I just want to set us up for the most success possible and-¡± ¡°And you want to do it as quickly as possible.¡± Ura said with a wry smile, ¡°But I am unsure how much of this we can pull off, and we will need major income to offset the loans and deliveries. We are making a bunch of overhead and debt without any fucking assets. No more, period, end of story. I will not allow it.¡± Ura looked extremely serious, and I could only nod, and she smiled. ¡°Good, you understand. I will shoot down anything else. In fact, if your arguments were not good and we were worried about the bounty hunter situation, I would have completely disagreed with you on this. This is a lot, and it is going to be hard to make everything come together. But,¡± Ura shrugged, ¡°Let''s do it.¡± Ura walked away, and I frowned as I thought about her words. Then I remembered, ¡°URA, I PUT GREASE ON YOUR FACE WHEN I KISSED YOU!¡± I called out. ¡°YOU BITCH!¡± Ura cried out and then ran past me toward the bathroom, and I chuckled as she ruthlessly washed her face. Chapter 110: Meeting the Recruiters After my conversation and date with Amber, things started to slipstream. I worked on my crafting and found myself starting to understand new things about the game in small ways. There was a guidance system, and some of the things were guided. I found that as I got better with the tool, my body just started to follow set things, allowing for better quality in the final product. It took me a dozen tries and scrapping several guns, but as we moved to the planet where Ura had scheduled our meetings with the Recruiters, I finally made a revolver. ¡ª--- Custom Revolver (Can change the name) Rare +5% Bullet speed +10% Armor Piercing - 5% Reloading speed This is a custom revolver made by an Artisan Gunsmith who is still learning. What the gun lacks in speed, it makes up for in slightly increased power. It is a six-round Revolver meant to punch through basic body armor and helmets. ¡ª-- I grinned as I looked at the gun that I modeled closely after the old Colt handguns I would see in Western movies when I was a kid. It was not close, but it was getting there, as the aesthetics were hard to get down. It was a little messy, but everything was in place, and I loved it. It''s too bad I was not going to use it personally. I could give it to Emma, though. This thing was going to be loud, and the kick was going to be hard. It was a trial project, and it came out great. I could not help the massive smile on my face as I looked at the gun. It was made for a 5mm rifle shot instead of a 9mm, so the bullets were oversized for a handgun. That being said, this thing could take the forces. It just would suck to reload at the moment since I had to reinforce the frame making it so speed reloaders could not reload it. You had to put the bullets in slowly while the revolving part was still in the gun. That was the major issue with the gun, and I hoped to find better materials to speed up reloading. Still, if some armor-piercing rifle ammo is put into this gun, it will shoot a hole through the armor. Or at least that is what I believe without being tested. Putting the gun to the side, I got up and wondered what Nyava was up to. Since I came back from the forest, much to my surprise, she does not leave the medical room. The only person allowed in and out is her new assistant, who comes, cooks food and then takes it back. From what the newly captured assistant said, Nyava is currently on a project that she had been working on before she was captured and made into a slave. She thinks she might be on the cusp of a breakthrough and is unwilling to be taken out of work mode. If she made a major discovery, that would be AMAZING. Imagine the income from becoming the supplier as we own the person who created it. Then again, it could be something just for us too. Then again, it was all a pipe dream at this point. I would not bet on the fact that I picked up the largest Golden nugget when purchasing slaves with a voucher. That would be insane. I do wonder, though, if I could bring all of this out into the main universe. I sighed, stretched, and got up as I felt us start to land on the planet. I knew that Ura would want me suited up. I started to get everything together but just took an assault rifle and shotgun, leaving behind my sniper rifle. I walked out to the bridge, where Ura was typing something into the console before her, and a human turned up on the screen before her in a video call. ¡°Ura, I am sorry to say we need to delay our delivery. We had a warehouse accident and need to clean up. Do you mind delivering tomorrow?¡± the man said without even saying a greeting and Ura frowned. ¡°You know I am on a tight schedule,¡± Ura said, her voice dark. ¡°We can compensate for the late delivery,¡± The man replied with a smile, ¡°How about an extra five percent for the inconvenience? We would like to keep you in your good graces as your shipping speed is almost unmatched.¡± The man said. And Ura pursed her lips and was clearly thinking as I walked into the frame. The man''s eyes widened, seeing me in full armor, and Ura looked up at me, but the man could not see the mischievous smile on her face. ¡°My associate has plans that she will also have to move around to accommodate the delay. Part of my service is protected, fast shipping, and her fee is included,¡± Ura said. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! ¡°Ten percent,¡± The man replied instantly, and Ura smiled. ¡°Nine percent is more than enough to compensate for our changed plans,¡± Ura said, and the man smiled brightly. ¡°Thank you so much,¡± The man said, ¡°I will see you tomorrow.¡± The screen blanked, and Ura looked at me smiling, ¡°Well, now we can go to the recruiting office early,¡± Ura said, and I raised an eyebrow. ¡°He is the sole delivery we have, a major shipment of weapons and computer parts. I doubt he will even try to rob us, but,¡± Ura shrugged, ¡°Now we can go talk to the recruiters and see what we need to start the process if we get out early,¡± Ura smiled and looked me up and down even though I was in armor and said, ¡°Why don''t we go to a hotel and enjoy each other after I help you out of the armor?¡± The question hung in the air only for a moment before I lifted the helmet off my armor. ¡°I would be happy to,¡± I replied after a moment. She grinned, turned back to the console, imputed something, and leaned back. A moment later, a loud notification sound resounded on the bridge. ¡°We got permission to come early; apparently, they did not have someone before us and were using it for research time,¡± Ura said, pointing to a message she just pulled up. I put back on my helmet. ¡°Then let''s go,¡± I said. Ura got up, and I looked at her busty figure in a black and blue jumpsuit that no one would call modest, even though it covered her entire body. She looked amazing, and she grinned as she caught me looking and walked in front of me to the exit. She invited the inspection crew a moment later, and I forgot about them and sighed. It took them an hour to finish, and Ura and I waved them goodbye after they failed to find the hidden cargo. It was a little anxiety-inducing how they seemed to fail to catch the hidden compartment again and again. What did they do to make the ship easily hide the cargo area? It was a question that, if we answered, we could make ships of our own one day. We might even need to take apart one ourselves to do it. Imagine a freightliner with a larger bay for it instead of trying to hide it in the large pile of cargo. I grinned, and Ura followed, locking the ship as we went. Emily was in a great mood as she walked by just before we exited. She waved goodbye to us as we went down the ramp. It took only a moment for the door to shut, and the ship was locked from intruders. Yawning, I realized I had been taking cat naps mostly lately for my character. It was probably not a great thing to do. It did not take long for us to make it to an AI cab and depart for the recruiters, while Ura and I remained silent for a while. The silence was broken after ten minutes when she turned to me. ¡°SleepyWonder, who do you want to lead the negotiations?¡± Ura asked. ¡°I think we need to play it by ear,¡± I replied as we went along, ¡°But I think that as the captain of the ship, you should lead overall. I will let you know my opinion, though. I will act like a mercenary, though. I want them to think that you are not sure about me in the context of this meeting. It might prove beneficial if they think that I have a,¡± I paused to think of the right word, ¡°A separate plan from you,¡± I finished, and Ura tilted her head. ¡°You mean, like that, we are not on the same page?¡± Ura asked. ¡°No, like I am out to betray you. I want to see how this place acts if I look like I am hired muscle that you have to give a portion of the company to for protection. So, I would have a separate agenda. If they think that, I wonder if they would call it out, or maybe,¡± I grinned, ¡°Try to use me to get an in. It is something that can just be fun if they don''t. But if it isn''t, then we can use this as a time to avoid their spies. I will smile brightly for anyone that we should not take. You will never go for those people, and you will do the same. Make it look like if we like that person a lot; we don''t want the other to have them. Like a background fighting.¡± Ura chuckled, ¡°You are right; that does sound fun.¡± ¡°Then let''s do that,¡± I said with a grin. We both had smiles on our faces when we arrived at the Recruiting agency, which had a sign right across the front saying, ¡°MANPOWER¡± in large, white bold letters. I liked the name. I put my helmet on once more, followed Ura, and double-checked my weapons before walking in with her. The building¡¯s street access opened up, and the hall greeted us. It was a large room, almost reaching a hundred meters squared, in my opinion. It was an overstatement of power, and there were various couches and sitting areas with screens around them to show privacy. It was an interesting setup, and the two similar-looking blonds were at the front behind a reception desk with some expensive-looking wood. Before them, there were a couple of people with tablets talking to them, and so we walked up as they chatted. As we got closer, I started to notice the women looking more and more the same until I could not tell them apart except for the hairstyle. One had their hair up in a bun on the right side while the other was up on the left side opposite of the other, and they both had nice smiles and three eyes. With one in the center of their forehead, it was oddly jarring to see, and they both had two arms that were typing away at consoles before them, so I could not see behind the desk as we reached the desk. The women looked highly competent and were talking to the two men, which we could now overhear. ¡°You guaranteed us employment after eight months. I do not call physical labor with my degree a job.¡± The men I could now see were like the women, with three eyes and an extra set of hands crossed around their stomachs as they looked annoyed. ¡°I am like that other guy; I have a degree that is specialized, so I need companies like you, and all you have offered is-¡± ¡°Excuse me, Ura, correct?¡± I heard someone say, and I turned to see another woman with three eyes and four arms. They were all pale-skinned, and her smile was bright white. ¡°Yes, I am Ura. This is my partner, and the muscle of my new operation is called Sleepy Corp,¡± Ura said, and the woman smiled. ¡°You are very suitably armed. I assure you that no one will threaten you while on the premises, although bounty hunters are allowed to be armed. Please don''t threaten others or otherwise intimidate someone with them while you are here,¡± the woman said. ¡°That will not be an issue if others behave themselves,¡± I replied blandly. ¡°Perfect. Sorry about the little chat there. It is legal, which forces me to address the gun issue before we talk further. I am a Manager here at Man Power,¡± the woman said with a grin. My name is Kelly, and I will be assisting you through our portfolios and interviews if you wish for your recruitment campaign.¡± The woman said, and both Ura and I nodded. Kelly was a woman in a nice Summer dress, which was a little surprising as I did not think it was business wear. It was a lovely baby blue loosely fitted dress with a belt across the middle. It was odd-looking because of the extra arms, but the woman turned to the side and pointed out a door to the side, which opened as she did so. ¡°Would you like to see our selection of hires?¡± the woman asked. ¡°Yes,¡± Ura said, showing us the way deeper into the Man Power building. Chapter 111: Pilot Candidates The room we were ushered into was fairly large. It had a gigantic screen that took up a wall that was at least three meters tall and nine meters wide. It was massive. The room had three comfy couches and tablets in the center, and one chair with a console on one of the arms that looked portable. The manager quickly took the chair, and Ura took one couch to her left, and I moved to the one on her right. In the corner of my eye, I could see the look in the woman''s eye, and her look toward us as we separated. Her eyes narrowed only for the slightest moment before they returned to normal as we finished sitting. I took off my assault rifle, laid it on the couch beside me, and placed my shotgun on my lap while I used the helmet feature to remove the mask off my face, but otherwise stayed on so that she could see my facial expressions. ¡°Okay, so I just want to go over the process here at Manpower,¡± Kelly said with a small smile, ¡°We first go over what you are looking for. We need to know what professionals you are looking for, right correctly?¡± Kelly said with a smile, and we both nodded, ¡°Perfect. So we also would like to know the main job, or generally what they are doing, so we can find the right fit. I am not looking for exact details. If you want them to do research, I don''t need to know exactly what they will be researching, but I will need to know what science it is in. I am not going to go looking for an engineer to do something a botanist is supposed to be doing, right?¡± ¡°I can see that,¡± I replied, making Kelly look at me, and she smiled. ¡°Perfect, so let''s start by finding what you first find and what you are looking for.¡± ¡°We need Captains and various crew to make deliveries,¡± Ura said, making Kelly smile, ¡°We will mostly need a Slipstream Engineer, which we may already have a couple, and a captain.¡± Ura began, ¡°That is for the ship crew. We could also use one medical personnel member to start a ship and a crew member to complement the bounty hunters. I am thinking one to three per ship.¡± Ura said, ¡°For shipment delivery and protection. We are making an effort to provide fast, emergency transportation that protects their cargo.¡± Kelly looked at us, surprised, ¡°Really, that sounds incredibly useful. We could use man transportation here at Manpower. We are looking for a fast passenger liner to deliver people to jobs quickly for emergency purposes.¡± Kelly said, looking very interested. ¡°At this time, we are doing cargo,¡± Ura said, shooting her down, ¡°but maybe in the future.¡± Ura said, ¡°We are using Slipstream drives for our Corvettes, which specialize in fast, safe transportation.¡± Ura told her, ¡°The chances of being pulled over by Pirates are low in transit. S,o unless we are caught entering the system, we can escape without issue from Pirates, as you know.¡± ¡°I do know, when it comes to spacers, everyone knows slipstream drives are the fastest and safest. I hope the technology gets to work on the larger ships, although the Military is already working on ways to counter that tech,¡± Kelly ended with a sigh. ¡°Yup, but those are our starting criteria of high importance.¡± Ura finished, and Kelly set to work. She hummed for a moment happily, then looked at me while she was working, and her expression turned curious. ¡°If you don''t mind me asking,¡± Kelly said, ¡°Why not bodyguards to protect your cargo instead of bounty hunters? They would be cheaper,¡± Kelly explained her thoughts. ¡°Bounty hunters would be able to make more money while on the planet if there are other things to be doing,¡± Ura said with a grin, ¡°Not all the time do ships travel, and during that time, the security becomes worthless. On tier-one planets, they can stop and bounty hunt while the ship undergoes repairs and various other things. There are other considerations as well, but you get my point.¡± She pursed her lips, typed something into the console of her chair, and then smiled. ¡°Okay, the first criteria is going through our system now. Is there anything else that you are looking to work with?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ura said and looked at me. ¡°Of course there is. We would like to set up a headquarters, but I''m not quite sure what planet yet,¡± I began. Kelly looked intrigued, and the smile on her face looked very calculating for a moment before it changed. It had me paying closer attention as I continued, ¡°We are thinking of a long-term image here. We have plenty of ships, and there are only so many times we can come to Manpower for the highest-end employees, right?¡± I said with a grin, and Kelly nodded. ¡°Of course, I can understand wanting to train up your own people as well.¡± ¡°So we want to also establish a research and development team for weapons and bounty hunting supplies. Also, there is a training ground for new Bounty hunters on a planet where they can be put through the crucible of combat before being put on ships.¡± I finished, and she looked thoughtful with a large smile growing. I could see the money in her eyes. ¡°So research and development teams are expensive,¡± she said slowly. I could see her wanting to steer us toward something, but I put up a hand, stopping here. ¡°I am sorry, I should clarify something.¡± I began, and she stopped with a small frown. ¡°I am hoping to find your desperate people who could not get into other companies, the ones like outside,¡± I said, pointing toward reception, ¡°So that we can give more favorable contracts to us for research and development. The ones we can throw out after their contract if they are useless, and the ones that love us and are useful will stay with us when we offer much better full-time, long-term employment.¡± The frown grew, and I could see her thinking. ¡°So you want the bottom of the trash heap graduates that most companies snub.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The word hung in the air, and Kelly looked in thought. Minutes rolled by, and I heard a ding from her panel, but Kelly did not move. I could tell now that she was either thinking or conjuring with someone somehow. It seemed to finish up, though, as I thought that, and she looked at me. ¡°I do have people we want to offload. In fact, Manpower takes in everyone and tries to find them a job. We work around the sector and are the best in the sector, but we always have people we cannot offload. It happens,¡± She said with a shrug, ¡°In fact, taking these people out of our roster of people is doing us a huge favor. Even if you toss them aside later, you bolster how useful they are because now they have experience, and we can more easily find them other work after.¡± She grinned, ¡°So you would be doing us a favor.¡± ¡°You''re right,¡± I said with a grin, leaning forward. So I was thinking something,¡± I said, and her eyes narrowed as I thought I would shoot my shot. You help us with a bit of payroll, and we boost your numbers majorly,¡± I said. The woman looked surprised. ¡°You''re saying you want us to pay you to take them off our hands?¡± She asked. ¡°Of course I am,¡± I said with a chuckle, ¡°think about it like this,¡± I said slowly, ¡°You can start making guarantees that you can absolutely find them employment over a certain period of time. Something may be in their field, and we will sift through them. If they are useless, a waste of resources, we kick them out of their ass, make it part of the contract. But!¡± I paused, ¡°If they are useful, we both win! You can even take them as success cases in the future to advertise how great your services are!¡± The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. My exclamations were bright and cheerful, and she frowned. ¡°There is no way you have enough for all our trash cases,¡± Kelly said. ¡°Not now,¡± I said with a grin, ¡°But what about in the future?¡± I finished. The woman looked thoughtful, ¡°Maybe, but not now; we need to see if you can even handle that much trash,¡± Kelly said, ¡°Seriously, you at least have to show that you can sift through the trash to find the good shit. We don''t want to send you to a place that cannot stand on its own.¡± ¡°That makes sense. We still need a weapons development research team that is more focused on engineered traps,¡± I said bluntly, ¡°that and drones.¡± ¡°Perfect, that is a good start,¡± Kelly said, starting to type things in and then turning to Ura.¡± Now, we have a showing of captains with experience.¡± ¡°I would love to see them,¡± Ura replied. ¡°Okay, first, we have someone with twenty-five years of experience looking for a quiet job,¡± Kelly began, and the stats for the person came up. It was a human with a white beard who clearly looked experienced in a military uniform of some type. I looked at the potential wage and scoffed as Ura held up her hand. ¡°That is too much,¡± Ura said. That is something major shipping lines can look for. I am looking for someone who is not ready to take my ships into pirate fleets like this old man is.¡± ¡°Okay, focusing,¡± Kelly said, and the man disappeared from the screen. Suddenly, a Dog Man showed up on screen. Much younger and with a nice smile, ¡°This is a pilot from the Federation forces, served five years with the Federation and has seen some combat; he has a dishonorable discharge for assault on a superior officer, but has solid commendations for piloting.¡± Ura looked much more intrigued, and so did I. ¡°Is there a reason for the assault?¡± I asked. ¡°There is not. That is something you can ask in an interview if you wish,¡± Kelly said. I looked at the profile, and the credentials looked solid. ¡°An Interview with this candidate is needed,¡± Ura said. ¡°Please put him on a list as we go through things. " ¡°Perfect, then let us continue,¡± Kelly said, and we started to go through more and more names. Men and women of various species came across with solid profiles who had at least two years of piloting experience. One thing in common with them all was that they were military, which I thought was odd. ¡°I have to ask, why are all the choices so far from the military?¡± I asked, ¡°No, Civilian pilots.¡± ¡°That is because they are not very common and usually are from Major shipping companies, which,¡± She smiled, ¡°Pawn each other pilots off each other. All those pilots have to do is send a peep to the other transportation companies, and they are taken. It is part of the eternal warfare, and many civilian pilots are very, very good, or very dead. They are extremely uncommon for that reason.¡± I could not help but think there was more to this, and Ura turned to me. ¡°It is because the military trains pilots and then throws them away after their service. They usually get snatched up quickly or just burn in no-job limbo. Once we are taken in and prove ourselves to be good, we don''t have to worry about work because companies try to steal each other''s pilots to learn their transportation routes to sell to the pirates so that they can hurt the other companies and get a larger customer share. Ninety percent of all pilots are military, and the last ten percent typically become the same as military pilots because of it. Civilian ones are really sought after for passenger liners, though. Honestly, it is weird that piloting college in the federation is extremely expensive for the wages they get afterward. So you may as well go to the military and learn there for free instead of leaving in debt. Yeah, there is usually a two to five-year service requirement. But you learn more of the things needed while piloting. It''s the reason I joined the military.¡± Ura finished, and Kelly nodded. ¡°That¡ª¡± I paused, ¡°is kind of stupid, but I guess I should shut up about it,¡± I said, and the list went on until Ura had Kelly stop. It was a woman with B-cup breasts and two large horns coming from her temples into the air, at least six inches long. Like the others, she was a military pilot with three years of experience. ¡°Dishonorable discharge for unknown reasons, but has the Federation Star of Pilots?¡± Ura exclaimed. ¡°Yeah, but they took away her medal in the end for whatever she was doing,¡± Kelly said, ¡°She is actually one of the people I brought up since you said that you do not mind trash,¡± Kelly sighed, ¡°I have been trying to get this woman a job for three years now, and she might be a little rusty. But I think if you can get over the crimes, which you will have to ask in an interview to learn about, then she is a Slipstream Pilot for Corvette class ships, which did at one point have one of the highest levels of commendations for Piloting you can get in under ten years.¡± ¡°Put her on the list. I think these two can be our first interviews,¡± Ura said with a nod. I want to start with these two tomorrow, and if we don''t find them a good fit, we can find more and bring them in for an interview. How about something for bounty hunters?¡± Ura said finally, and Kelly looked a little thrown off by the change so quickly. ¡°I thought you had more ships?¡± Kelly said. ¡°We do, but we will come back later for those,¡± Ura said. ¡°For now,¡± she pointed at the screen, ¡°If these two work, I can find more when we need them.¡± ¡°Okay, moving on then.¡± ¡°Nah,¡± I said, cutting in, much to Kelly''s surprise, as she looked at me. I saw the way Ura looked at me.¡± Show me a couple of more. I think we should have a little extra, just in case. Let''s find two more.¡± Ura tried hard not to smile, but that wannabe smile turned into a frown, and she turned to Kelly. ¡°Show us more, then,¡± Ura said. So we looked through a dozen more, and one jumped out at me, and Kelly was explaining them. ¡°This is a rookie pilot with a couple of commendations and a dishonorable discharge because you don''t mind the trash, but with a couple of letters of recommendation from the military officers he was around. They basically all say that he was a great pilot.¡± Kelly explained, and I looked at the young man in the picture. He was wearing a scroll but was one of the few humans that I had seen among pilots so far. It was odd that there were so few, but something about this guy hit me somewhere. ¡°This guy, I think, is a masochist,¡± I said, ¡°Move on, put him on the backup of the backup,¡± I told her, and Kelly looked at me, surprised. ¡°Um, you know we do have a Human Resources policy,¡± Kelly said. ¡°I never said I was going to do something. He just rings me as a Masochist, and I am going to call it out. In fact, with all the letters of recommendation, I would not be surprised that the reason for his dishonorable discharge, which you''re showing us a lot of, by the way, is because he followed sadist orders and refused to give their master or Mistress away, which shows loyalty.¡± I finished, and I pressed, ¡°Move on.¡± I finished, but the look on Kelly¡¯s face told me that I was absolutely correct. ¡°Y- Yeah, moving on, the next is a rare Cat-kin Pilot, but she is on a dishonorable discharge that I am allowed to say because she does not want to talk to people who care about it and waste her time. In fact, with some of the things that you are looking for, she might be someone you really want from this trash heap. I caution you, though, she has a temper.¡± I paused at what she said, but Kelly continued, ¡°This Cat-kin is a rare Air Force pilot from a military that still does starfighters.¡± Ura gasped in surprise, and Kelly continued, ¡°She was discharged because she put a grenade in the toilet of one of her officers, which she said was because, and I quote, ¡°the fucking asshole sent me on one too many suicide missions,¡± End quote.¡± Kelly said, turning to look at me, ¡°She does know how to fly a starship, though. She also has combat training and has a mark for heavy weapons on her resume. She has a medal for being injured in the line of duty and an ambusher''s medal for ground warfare, although she says she cannot talk about the reason for that.¡± Kelly then looked at us both slowly. ¡°She has been looking for a job for quite a long time; you can probably get her for very cheap after housing her at this point. I am scared that this girl is going to go pirating if she stays unemployed for much longer. Sure as shit has the temperament for one.¡± ¡°I like her; put her on the list of interviews, although you suck at selling her,¡± I said with a grin thinking about everything. This girl was a perfect candidate for one of our smuggling vessels. With that heavy weapons combat, too, it was an asset for us. I could not believe what Kelly¡¯s dumpster diving was coming up with. ¡°You really don''t mind the dishonorable discharge?¡± Ura asked with a frown. ¡°The others, it doesn''t matter and,¡± I shrugged, ¡°Who cares,¡± I continued making Kelly surprised, ¡°Everyone does shit, and if we can get them on the cheap and they do good, I don''t see why they would leave with what we are planning. So let''s move on.¡± I finished, and Ura nodded. ¡°Okay, let''s continue,¡± Ura said, and more and more profiles were up on the screen. Some were vile, some were pirates who took a turn and were looking to integrate into society more, but Ura would not want those people, end of story. She could take the dishonorable discharge, but not be a pirate after what she went through. ¡°This is a Hextar,¡± Kelly began, and Ura put up her hand. ¡°I have a bit of trauma with Hextars; next, please,¡± Ura said, and Kelly nodded. ¡°Okay, next we have a rare High Elf boy that went to the federation and became a pilot, reached the rank of captain, and then got himself dishonorably discharged, yes, another one.¡± Kelly took a deep breath, ¡°He had combat experience and has high ratings in piloting, but that dishonorable discharge really gets to people, and his homeworld refused to let him back for the next hundred years, so he has a no-fly to any elven world at this point which might be a problem with the local elf worlds if you need to make deliveries.¡± Kelly said, ¡°He is also a Mage, although I am not sure of the specifics of his magic.¡± ¡°I think I want to hear the reasons for his discharge for this one. He fits what we want in many ways, and a mage in our midst would not be a bad idea.¡± ¡°Okay, that''s the pilots, then,¡± Ura said. ¡°I want to move on to see some engineers just to see what dumpster diving with them looks like for slipstream operators.¡± ¡°Agreed,¡± I replied. Kelly smiled, ¡°Perfect, then moving on to that short list.¡±
