After waking up in a dream world, I told Gemma about my exploration of Dungeon’s Level 2, then moved on to the part where I needed her advice.

  “I leveled up my Mage css, and I have another Skill Choice,” I said.

  “What options did you get?”

  “Nothing special,” I replied, opening the status to read it again. “Heat Resistance that, surprise, surprise, increases my resistance to heat and reduces damage from fire magic. Increased Luck, which gives me two points, and Aqua Synthesis, which lets me convert mana into drinkable water.”

  “Hmm…” Gemma hummed thoughtfully. “The choice is quite easy. Aqua Synthesis is the best option. Unlimited drinkable water might be essential in long dungeon runs, but also after leveling up, this water would most likely get some additional effects. There are many options, like healing properties. Not really strong, but at least something.”

  “What are some other effects?”

  “It varies. Sometimes you can even change mana into something other than water. Or it can have additional properties when used as a component of potions. If your Sex Mage css would somehow interact with it, then it might be an aphrodisiac. Or a lube,” Gemma said, smirking.

  “Okay, I’ll add it,” I decided, then did so. After that, I summoned a small amount of mana over my hand, and when I activated the ability, the mana transformed into water and spshed across my palm.

  “Not bad,” Gemma said as I wiped my hand on the bed.

  “I’ve been practicing,” I replied.

  “Good. And don’t stop. Train every day, if possible.”

  I nodded. “Tomorrow we’re heading to Antranth. First the dungeon, but we should reach the city in the evening anyway.”

  “Okay, I’ll inform my contact,” Gemma said, pulling a map of Antranth out of thin air and spreading it in front of me on the bed. She pointed to one of the buildings that was at the edge of the city. “You’ll meet her there.”

  Quickly activating my skill, I had a photo saved in my head, so I would find it easily.

  “I’ll find it,” I said.

  Gemma hid the map and pulled out another piece of paper. “That’s Kalista,” she said, passing me an image of a woman. She looked to be around thirty, with long straight brown hair, brown eyes, soft facial features, and deeply tanned skin.

  “She’ll expect you,” Gemma continued. “Tell her you are from Sage. Don't mention your css or me. And try to tell her as little as possible about the b. She’s a water mage with a level around twenty.”

  “Kalista, I’m from Sage, don’t tell about my css or you, she's a water mage, and strong,” I repeated.

  “Exactly. If someone in Antranth is supplying the boratory, she will help you find them.”

  “Who’s Sage?” I asked.

  Gemma hid Kalista’s photo. “My right hand. Kind of. Not the official one that takes care of things at the guild, but the one responsible for the dirty work. I trust her completely.”

  “Alright.”

  “If you manage to find the b-”

  “Don’t charge in alone, but back off and just tell you where it is,” I interrupted Gemma when she wanted to warn me again.

  “Let’s hope you remember that when you actually find it,” she said with a smile.

  “Don’t worry. I don’t pn to rush into a top-secret, probably heavily guarded b just to get myself killed. There’s still a lot in this world I want to see... and taste," I said, letting my eyes drift to her generous cleavage.

  Gemma snorted, ughing. “You can always hope,” she said.

  Then she started leaning toward me, giving me an even better view of her tits. But I looked away, surprised, as she kept coming closer, like she was about to kiss me. When she pursed her lips, I leaned in to meet them.

  And woke up in bed.

  Realizing what happened, I sighed. “Witch,” I muttered. Not only was she just teasing me, there had never been a chance of a kiss. I’d forgotten in the moment, but in the dream, we couldn’t touch.

  However, with three naked demons, it was easy to forget about Gemma and her teasing. Especially when my hands were in reach of their asses. As I squeezed Azura’s and Zoe’s cheeks, fondling and pying, they stirred from sleep, groggily opening their eyes and looking at me.

  “Already hungry for more?” Zoe purred into my ear.

  “Always,” I replied, before I kissed her.

  Unfortunately, we didn't have time to have a multi-orgasmic sex orgy, but even with three of them, it should be enough to satisfy every one of them with a quick fuck. After swapping a few kisses between Zoe and Azura, I rolled over, putting Azura on her back. Hovering above her, I pushed my cock into her pussy.

  It amazed me how easily Azura could climax. And when a naughty succubus was teasing her nipples with her fingers and tail using Succubus’ Touch, she didn’t stand a chance.

  While Azura whimpered through her orgasm and I kept thrusting into her warmth, Tori rolled onto her back beside us.

  “Dibs on next,” Tori said, spreading her legs, her hand reaching between them.

  “Agh!” Zoe gasped. “That’s not fair!”

  As I pulled my hard cock out of Azura, she y back with a soft smile lingering on her face. “I’m going to come in the st one,” I said, moving to kneel between Tori’s legs and gncing at Zoe. “Isn’t that what you want? To please me… to make me come?”

  “Oh,” Zoe said, and then nodded vigorously. “I’ll wait.”

  I snorted. “You can always help. The faster Tori comes, the faster it would be your turn.”

  Zoe immediately rushed to join us. I leaned down to kiss Tori while fondling her tits, our lips pressing together as I rubbed her stiffening nipples. When she moaned softly into my mouth, I had no doubt where Zoe’s tail was. Especially with her hands gently stroking my back.

  As I reached down to check if Tori was ready, first I felt Zoe’s tail, and then the wetness between Tori’s thighs. She was more than ready.

  Tori gasped quietly as I slid into her, and louder when I began thrusting hard and fast. She had an even harder time holding back, thanks to Zoe, who clearly couldn’t wait for her own turn. Using the tip of her tail, she massaged the tigress’s clit with precise, teasing strokes.

  Tori was being overwhelmed from every angle by a Sex Mage and a succubus working together. While I kept pounding into her, I kissed her deeply and pyed with her breasts, gently pinching her nipples.

  When Zoe activated her skill while still stimuting Tori’s clit, it pushed her over the edge. Tori gasped loudly, breaking our kiss as her inner walls clenched tightly around my cock.

  Luckily, in the mornings, I could always st longer. No matter how incredible her tight heat felt, I was still able to fuck her without worrying about breaking the promise I’d made to Zoe.

  When Tori’s orgasm, drawn out by all our teasing, finally settled, I slowly pulled out of her and leaned down to kiss her softly. “Just like I promised yesterday,” I whispered.

  Tori smiled, stretching zily. “Might’ve even been worth the wait.”

  “Might’ve,” I replied with a pyful snort.

  “You still have one woman to satisfy, handsome,” Tori said, nodding toward Zoe.

  Zoe immediately y back on the bed and spread her legs wide, inviting me between them. The moment I knelt there, I slid into her scorching pussy, groaning as it wrapped around my cock with incredible tightness.

  “Gods,” I murmured, savouring the feeling. “You’re amazing,” I whispered, leaning down and connecting our lips in a short, gentle kiss. Then I raised, and staring into her pink eyes, I fucked her in quick, short thrusts as she moaned to the rhythm of them.

  Even my morning stamina had its limit, and a succubus was certainly an expert in reaching it. Her tight pussy massaged every inch of my shaft, her legs wrapping tightly around my hips while her tail slid along my back, caressing me as I moved.

  Her body was twitching as she moaned loudly, and I knew she was on the edge, stopping herself. Either waiting for my orgasm or my command, and I decided to give her the tter just moments before the former happened.

  “Come for me, Zoe,” I whispered into her ear.

  Pleasure twisted her face, and when her inner walls cmped around my shaft, I erupted deep in her body.

  As pleasure surged through my spine, leaving me breathless, Zoe wrapped her arms, hands, and tail tightly around my form, clinging to me. Her tits fttened on my chest, her hard nipples rubbed my skin as we both shook in delight throughout our orgasms.

  We were still lying, hugged closely, when Tori slipped out of bed and started to prepare for the day.

  Unfortunately, we had to get up right after her to prepare for the dungeon. After having sex both at night and in the morning, we needed another quick bath and then breakfast. Reluctantly, I finally pulled out of Zoe’s pussy.

  After we got ready, I sent Zoe and Azura off to bathe while I made my way to Mari’s door.

  I knocked, wondering if she was already up, but the door opened immediately. She was already dressed and ready to go.

  “Hey,” I said. “A quick bath, breakfast, then we’re heading into the dungeon. After that, we'll come back here briefly to eat something before leaving for Antranth.”

  “Can we talk?” Mari asked, nodding toward her room.

  “Sure,” I said, stepping inside. Had she already made her decision? At least she hadn’t spent too long thinking it over. Now the only question was what she’d decided.

  “I want to get healed, but I want to negotiate the terms.”

  “I’m listening,” I said, gd that she was willing to do it, but wondering if she would be reasonable about her demands.

  “You said it’d be like working for you. In that case, you can take this off,” Mari said, touching the colr around her neck. “It’s not necessary. And I’ll work for you for three years and get fifty percent of what I help you earn. To cover my expenses."

  “Not a chance,” I snorted. “If that’s your final offer, we can go our separate ways and not waste any more time.”

  “Then what’s your offer?” Mari hissed.

  “First, how do I know you won’t run the moment I take the colr off? This,” I said, pointing at the colr, “is the guarantee you’ll earn that magical surgery after it’s performed.”

  “Second, seven years of work. Not three. Third, equal share of profits, split based on who contributed. You cover your own costs. And finally, no more accusations that I want to rape or sexually exploit you. I don’t want to hear a single word about it ever again.”

  Mari frowned, staring at me, thinking it over.

  “Three years. Thirty percent. Who knows how many stupid bitches you’ll collect, drooling over you and leaving me with nothing. And I’m the one doing all the work. You, Zoe, and Azura just sit back while I sve away.”

  “Six years. Equal split, with a guaranteed minimum of ten percent if our team gets that big,” I countered.

  Mari studied me in silence, clearly unhappy with the terms.

  “Mari,” I said calmly. “A week ago, you were locked in a tiny cell in a dark room with no future. Now you have one. I get that you want the best deal possible, but don’t push it too far.”

  Mari scoffed. “I’ll be the one left colred, and all I have as a guarantee is your word.”

  “Have I broken it so far?”

  Mari scoffed again. “It’s only been a few days.”

  “You can just leave after paying off your debt, without surgery, if that’s what you want.”

  Mari sighed. “Five years. Equal split, minimum fifteen percent. And you never touch me.”

  “The colr stays. No accusations of rape. And the deal only goes into effect if we find the b,” I said, reaching out my hand.

  Mari stared at me a moment longer and then shook my hand.

  “Breakfast now, and then we head to the dungeon,” I said, leaving her room, heading toward the bathroom.

  I hoped things with Mari would calm down, but if she was going to stay for so long with me, there was one more issue. My css. I could hide it for some time, but for five years? Sooner or ter she would find out about it, so I might just tell her and stop hiding it. But first, we needed to find the b so I’d be sure that she’d stay. If it worked out, I would have a really strong mage by my side for five years, so that was a great success.

  After a quick breakfast, we headed to the arena, where Cassia joined us, and then we made our way toward the dungeon. During the short trip, we agreed that with limited time we wouldn’t be able to complete Level 3, and without a healer, it would be better to go to Level 2 to not risk as much.

  After teleporting to the dungeon, using the bck ptform, we started circling the byrinth’s corridors in search of monsters. Mari, Tori, and Cassia had no trouble killing them while I just watched, gaining experience from a distance. With the trip to Antranth ahead of us, I didn’t want to risk getting injured, so I avoided fighting completely.

  Between me, Azura, and Zoe, only the tter managed to level up somewhere near the end of our exploration.

  [Level up!][Demon: Zoe Drazathis][Css: Illusionist (Level 4)][Stat Points Gained: 1][Unlocked new skill: Silent Dome (Level 1)]

  [Silent Dome Level 1 (Active) – Conjures an invisible dome of distorted perception with a maximum radius of 3 meters, sting for up to 10 minutes. While inside the dome, no sounds created within can be heard from the outside.]

  Even if it wasn’t a combat skill, it sounded like a great option for when I needed to talk about my css and be sure that no one was eavesdropping. It could really come in handy, and I decided I’d test it out with Zoe ter on. At the same time, I realized Zoe hadn’t been training her illusion magic at all, and I should push her to work on it when we had free time.

  In the end, we spent a few hours in the dungeon before we decided to back off. During the whole exploration, nothing special happened, all the fights ended easily. It was clear that the stronger half of our party was on too low Dungone’s Level, but that also ensured the safety of the weaker half.

  While traveling back to Ortas, thinking about safety, I tried once more to convince Tori to come with us.

  “You sure you don’t want to travel with us to Antranth?” I asked. “It’s not a long trip.”

  “Exactly. You’ll make it just fine without me.”

  “I’m worried about safety.”

  “You’ll be okay with Mari. And it’s not like the roads are all that dangerous. We just had bad luck, running into people trying to rob us twice,” Tori replied. “Besides, the road between Ortas and Antranth is much better guarded. Ortas is one of the biggest cities in the guild, and Antranth is the biggest port city. There’s constant traffic, so plenty of people have a reason to keep that route safe.”

  “What if I paid you?” I asked, wondering how much I could afford to offer just to have her along for extra security.

  “You are going to miss me so much?” Tori asked with a teasing smile.

  “Let’s say that,” I snorted.

  “A little time apart will make things more exciting ter.”

  Tori was brushing me off even when I offered money. Sure, if I threw a big sum at her, she’d probably agree. The problem was, I didn’t have that kind of money and she knew that. Things were a bit better now, sure, but I still couldn’t afford to spend recklessly.

  And maybe those things she needed to take care of were really that important. I let it go, though I wondered what she was up to when she ran off to take care of those important matters of hers. And if they could somehow be connected to me.

  When we finally got back to Ortas, we headed to the Dragon’s Inn to get a meal before hitting the road. We stopped by our room to drop off the items we’d collected in the dungeon that day.

  I inspected them quickly, but unfortunately, there was nothing special. Just Css 1 items in various states of condition. I told everything I could find out to Tori, who would handle selling them while we were away.

  Then we picked up our modest belongings and, with Zoe, Azura, and Mari, headed toward Antranth, which should only take us a few hours. I hoped it would be without any additional adventures.
