[You have killed the strongest magician of the {World of Acacia}! You received the Title: [Acacia’s Tyrant]!]
I did gain more than I imagined out of this. Well, now that I have the Skill Points, I might as well learn some new Class Skills later. They seemed very interesting. A class specifically made to help me kill the Gods. Not like I needed the help at all, though, but it makes things more entertaining.
[The Tower God {Grandfather of Time} screams in utter horror!]
[“What has happened?!” He asks.]
[He is utterly shocked. So shocked, he’s left completely speechless.]
[“…”]
[He has gone into seclusion after realizing the danger you bring to the Tower as a whole. He might begin to plan something grand to eliminate you in secret.]
Well, not so secret anymore; the system tells me all your intentions right away, clueless fool. Also, “Grandfather of Time”? Really? Does he truly believe he’s the grandfather of the Dao of Time? Such utter fools everywhere, it is making my brain hurt to even think these people are “Gods” managing worlds. I pity the people living in such worlds very much.
Anyway, now wasn’t the time to get angry; I wanted to relax and came with my family to complete the quests. Urbosa, Merkite, and Hekita were very clueless about how the Adventurer Guild worked. So we had to explain to them its uses.
“We had no idea such a system existed in these cities.” Said Urbosa. “Well, we spent most of our time away from them, mostly being cautious of these people. We come from Floor 2, after all; we don’t know how we would be treated.”
“In the end, our cautiousness was not near enough; those cultists found us, and... well, they did that they did.” Sighed Merkite.
“Mama! Can I become an adventurer?” Hekita asked, very eager.
“Not yet; you haven’t even awakened as a player, have you?” Sighed her mother. “You have to first do the Mana Absorption Ritual when you’re 12.”
“But I’m almost 12!” Hekita complained, pouting adorably.
“Aw, well, come on, does she need to be of that age in particular?" I asked her mother.
“Well, it is tradition after all; we can’t break our traditions; they would be a great insult to our legacy and tribe.” Said Urbosa. “But… Well, if someone were to become the new chief, maybe the traditions and rules can be bent around, hm~?” She looked at me with a teasing smile.
“Ugh… Do I really need to take over this sect?” I wondered.
“Pretty please?” Hekita asked me with a cute puppy face.
“Hey you two, that’s enough. Don’t pressure Bing Xue to become the chief.” Said Merkite. “Let that be her own decision instead. Chief or not, we’ll stay by your side.”
"You're so loyal after just a night.” I sighed, feeling rather guilty for having made these two girls fall for me like this. Their society and tribe are certainly different from humanity back on Earth. “Well, I’ll think about it! Now, let’s go complete the quests."
"Hello, Peperina, we’re back! Remember us from yesterday?” My mother asked.
“Oh yes, of course I do, Lady Elena! Right?” The rabbit girl greeted us. “Oh, and how could I forget you, Bing Xue? So you survived! So did you run away at the end? Remember that you must pay a fee for failed missions and-”
“No, we completed them,” I said. “Most of them; we’ll complete the rest in the incoming days. Is there a place where we can show the proof? You see, they’re really big.”
“E-Eh? Proof?! You completed many S-Rank quests in just a day?!” Peperina wasn’t believing it. “A-Ah, I… You’re not lying, right?”
“Of course we aren’t, sweetie. Please believe us.” I smiled.
“T-Then… Follow me! Through here!” She ran towards the backyard of the guild, a huge place with a few wooden tables and chairs, where the staff came to relax and eat their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. “This is plenty of space, right?”
“Plenty!” I nodded, summoning all the proof out of my Inner Realm.
A pile of monster corpses and other materials appeared in front of everyone. The twins weren’t as shocked because they had seen me slay big creatures before, although they still raised their eyebrows. Hekita was really shocked, though, opening her mouth as wide as she could.
“This is... T-The Spirit Bee Queen’s carcass! And that one flower that was so hard to get! And is that a Snow Wyvern King?! And the ogres! By the Goddess! Y-You got it all?!” She gasped.
“There’s actually more inside my Inner Realm, I’ll bring it all out so you can count it with everyone else.” I smiled. “Shall I?”
“W-Wait a second, please! We’ll need more staff to help with this. Please wait here!” She ran inside the guild building.
And then she brought back like ten other workers. We spent the next hour and a half counting everything with them so they could confirm we had fully eliminated the threats as intended. After everything was said and done, the missions were completed.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have completed 6 S-Rank Missions in the Adventurer’s Guild!]
[Required Missions To Complete The Floor’s Challenge: 6/10]
[Your Adventurer Rank has been immediately raised to S Rank for your great feats!]
[Your [Beginner Adventurer] Title has evolved into [Master Adventurer]!]
[As a Privilege for being an S Rank Adventurer, you can now access many VIP areas within the city and receive discounts in every single shop.]
[Your Party received the Following Rewards for completing the Missions]: [60.000.000 Credits] [Adventurer’s Mystery Box (S Rank)] x12 [Random Skill Book (S Rank)] x6]
“T-Thank you so much for all your efforts! Maybe the rewards aren’t enough, but this is all they were offering for them!” Peperina said, bowing to us.
“It’s fine; there’re plenty of rewards.” I smiled, caressing her fluffy head. “Then, we shall see you another day, Peperina; take care, alright?”
“Y-Yes!” She nodded timidly, her eyes sparkling, when I gave her a head pat. Thankfully, the twins weren’t jealous girls, not minding at all that I was touchy with the rabbit girl. “Ahem, are they registered, by the by?”
“Oh, them? Do you want to register, sweeties?” I asked the cute twins.
“Oh, we haven’t thought about it yet." Urbosa said.
“Is there any benefit to it aside from the quest-taking?” Asked Merkite.
“Yes! There are many benefits, you two! Let me explain..." Little Peperina explained to the twins every benefit for a little while. The twins attentively heard and nodded as they learned about this floor’s society.
“So that’s how it is; fine, I guess I can pay for the fee; I do have some coins on me,” Urbosa said.
“Me too. Bing Xue, please don’t pay for us; we know you love to spoil us, but... It will hurt our pride if you pay for everything.” Merkite smiled.
“Of course, go ahead.” I nodded.
“And what about me?!” Asked Hekita.
“You’re too young to register yet, dear. Only those above 15 years of age can become adventurers. I am sorry, but that’s the law.” Said Peperina.
So it seems that people who are not 15 years of age can’t climb the tower then? I guess it is quite a sneaky way to limit children from getting into dangerous situations.
After that, they paid and were registered as F-Rank Adventurers. The twins were really excited, and on the way out, they picked up some F-Rank and E-Rank quests they wanted to do on their own.
Despite how they asked me for help before, they had their pride as warriors of their tribes, so they wanted to “carry their own weight” in our new family.
“We know you could easily help us, but we want to do some on our own if that’s okay,” Urbosa said.
“We are fairly strong ourselves; we both have our classes already, and we are over Level 100.” Said Merkite. “I know we had no chance against the cultists, but…”
“I know, I know, there’s no need for any explanation. The pride you carry and the titles you hold only make your beauty even greater.” I praised them. “Go ahead and do such quests once you can find some time. I will gladly await your return.” As I said that, I caressed their chins, and both looked at me lovingly.
“Very well then.” Urbosa nodded.
“I will buy you something pretty with the money I earn,” Merkite said.
Both were rapidly wagging their tails. As I had heard before, this was a sign of great love.
“Fufu, I will happily await your gift then, my love.” I kissed her lips.
“Then shall we get going?” Asked Urbosa. “There’s a whole village waiting for our return, and I am getting worried they might get attacked if we aren’t there to protect them.”
“Sure, let’s go then!” I nodded.
Like that, after saying a last goodbye to little Peperina and giving her my number after she asked for it, we moved out of the adventurer’s guild and then the city, hitting the road to the twins’ village.
And yes, most people here have cellphones; the cultural exchange also brought human technology to the first floor of the tower. These phones are special, magic-infused ones capable of connecting to the network between worlds.
I was surprised to find out Peperina even had her own Instagram account, where she posted pictures of herself eating delicious food. She was quite the cute foodie.
“Shall we split these?” I asked, showing the rewards to my family after some time talking with the twins.
“Come on now, you did everything; just keep it!” Said my sister.
“Yeah, it’s all yours, honey.” My mother nodded. “We barely helped at all, haha.”
“What? You did help plenty!” I sighed. “We will divide this equally between all three of us, and no buts! Do you think I care that much for these feeble little rewards? Here.”
I quickly divided things into three. We all received 20.000.000 Credits, 4 [Adventurer’s Mystery Boxes] and 2 [Random Skill Books]. They were S Rank items, so they were bound to make my mother and sister stronger.
“T-This is too much! I’ve never had so many credits before…” My mother gasped.
“With this, we can buy like a whole house, right?” My sister wondered.
“You can buy things with Credits aside from player-only items?” I wondered.
“Yeah, there’s a whole Credit Market even back on Earth. Because you need them to buy all kinds of amazing items in the Credit Shop, people freely exchange it for other goods through the Trading System.” Said my sister.
“I had no idea of such a thing…” I laughed. “Well, maybe we can get ourselves a fancier place once we return to Earth. Perhaps I could bring you three with me.” I looked at the lovely wolf girls at my side.
“To your home world, Bing Xue?” Urbosa gasped, blushing a bit. “A-Are we living in your house, then? Oh, t-this is not so bad either!” She was wagging her tail happily.
“I have never visited that world; I wonder how it is.” Said Merkite. “I would gladly become your wife there too! Well, we are already mates after all.” She gently held my arm.
“How is Earth like?” Hekita asked cutely.
“Oh well, it’s a place full of really tall buildings all around!” I explained, carrying the little wolf princess through piggyback. “It might be a bit scary at first, but there are many interesting things over there as well.”
“Oooh! Sounds cool!” Hekita got pumped up.
“I wonder if she can come with us without being a Player?” Wondered my sister.
“I think she can; as long as their parents are players, they can bring children too.” Said my mother. “Anyways, Urbosa, Merkite, where is your village? We’ve been walking through the road for a couple of hours now…”
“Ah, mother-in-law, my bad. We’ve not been quite specific before.” Urbosa said, apologizing.
“It is over the northwest; we’ll need to move to the left once we walk a few more miles from here.” Said Merkite. “Thank you for being patient with us, mother-in-law.”
“M-Mother-in-law…?” My mother felt slightly flustered. “A-Ah, well, thank you, sweeties. I’m glad you love my daughter; she’s a bit lonely sometimes, so make sure to never make her feel alone, okay?”
“We will!” Nodded Urbosa.
“Giving her company is something we can do for free at all times.” Merkite smiled.
As my mother tried talking with the twins and getting along with them, my sister was whispering to my ears something rather funny.
"Hey, big sis, I know that people sometimes hook up with someone they just met, but they often just walk away the next night." She said. “Are you okay with them being like this so soon? I thought you were afraid of compromise…”
“They’re very free in their concept of "compromise," Ruby.” I giggled. “And I don’t really mind their love. I’ve never felt these feelings before; it makes me feel so free. I want to experience it more, but I am... I guess you could say easy? I’m already in love with them; I’m afraid.”
“I never thought someone as strong and domineering as you would be so easy to charm! Though I'm not going to lie, they’re pretty hot.” She nodded. “Good catch, big sis, good catch..."
“Hahaha! Ruby, enough.” I laughed, gently patting her head.
With the twins’ indications, we moved into the nearby forest and walked another hour, until we finally reached the place. Hidden between a dense forest right below a mountain where we had previously hunted the Snow Wyverns, there was a small village.
The village was mostly made of tents made of animal leather and wood. It was protected with a wooden wall, but everything else seemed very primitive and rustic. Standing outside the wooden gates that led inside, there were four guards, all of whom were tall, muscular gray and black-furred wolf men holding spears.
“Everyone! We’re back!” Merkite said.
“Hello, you four! How have you been so far?” Urbosa greeted them.
“Huh?! Our strongest warriors are back!”
“Lady Urbosa! Lady Merkite!”
“What a joy to see your beautiful faces again!”
“Oooh, you seem healthy as well!”
The wolves were all wagging their tails; it seems they had crushes on them. I simply let them be, as I quickly opened the way to my Inner Realm, bringing everyone we rescued.
“We brought everyone back! All thanks to Bing Xue, our new mate.” Said Urbosa, presenting me to the guards.
“It is good to see you, warriors of the tribe.” I smiled, greeting them kindly. “I might be considered an outsider now, but I will try to get along with all of you.”
“E-Eh? Such a tall woman…”
“S-She’s your mate, to both of you?!”
“Aw, man…”
“She got them both? Unbelievable.”
Their looks of disappointment over me having snatched the beauties were too obvious; it made me pity the poor men a bit. I suppose that, as warriors and beauties, they were constantly trying to woo them both. Well, too bad!
“Please be respectful with our mate; without her, we would have never been able to rescue everyone here.”
“You better treat her well.”
The twins glared down at the men as they nodded rapidly, quickly shifting their attention to the people coming back to the village. The gates opened, and they let us all inside without problems. Although being below the gazes of hundreds of beasts was a bit overwhelming, I was able to bear it with my family by my side.
Merkite and Urbosa explained things to the figures of authority in the city, the Three Elders, who were all very old wolf and wild cat people. They nodded, greeting me with gentle smiles and welcoming me and my family into their humble tribe.
“Saviors of our tribe, you are all welcome to stay as long as you want and to even become members of our tribe if you so desire. We already know that Bing Xue here has become the mate of our strongest warriors, Urbosa and Merkite. Please make sure to take good care of these brats; they can be a bit hard to deal with, but I am sure their hearts are in the right place.” A black wolf old lady spoke to me, smiling adorably.
“Thank you so much; I will.” I bowed to her in respect for the elderly, despite being much older than her. I just wanted to please them and not offend them; their generosity was very refreshing.
“Such good manners! You truly found yourselves a good mate.” She giggled. “Hohoho. Now! I am sure you must be busy; you can go ahead with your mates for now. We will host a banquet tonight to celebrate our kin coming back. I hope you can join us.”
“I will! Thank you for your hospitality.” I smiled as the twins guided us to their tent.
It was very big, covering several sections, with two large rooms and even a kitchen. There was also a large area where they kept sheep, ducks, and wild cows. Hekita ran towards her animals and showed them to us; she had named most of them already.
The gentle breeze of the countryside, the sound of the many animals, a welcoming and warm tribe of people, and two cute beast girls as my mates now. I don’t think my life could get any better!
“This place is sure beautiful; I have to admit.” My mother said, “For how long do we stay here?”
“I guess we can stay as long as we want, but I know Big Sis has plans.” Said my sister.
“Hmm, let’s enjoy a week here while doing a few missions on the way, just to relax and breathe some of the fresh air here,” I said. “I think I need this to heal a few of my emotional wounds."
“S-Sure then.” My mother nodded, patting my shoulders. “Let’s enjoy this place!”
"Then, if we’re staying, I got to buy a few things. I love the aesthetic here, but I would prefer to use a normal bathroom." My sister sighed.
“Aahh, no worries, you can always use the bathroom of my Inner Realm, Ruby.” I giggled. “No need to buy a whole bathroom or something- Wait, can you do that?”
“With Credits, you can buy anything!” My mother laughed.
“I had no idea it was to such an extent!” I was surprised. “So you can buy a house, and then we could carry it around my Inner Realm too, huh? Interesting.”
“Yeah- Wait, I hadn’t thought about that either!” My sister covered her face. “This is really cool; it’s like going on a camping trip through the tower!”
"Ruby, you’re taking this too relaxedly; it’s the tower, so many people die... Be a bit more serious, okay?” My mother sighed.
“A-Ah! Yeah, sorry, sorry.” Ruby apologized while laughing slightly nervously.
As we chatted for a while inside the tent with Hekita sleeping over my legs, the twins called for us to eat lunch.
“It’s done; let’s eat something, honey,” Urbosa called. “Hekita! Wake up, dear.”
“We prepared a bit of stew for the whole family; my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are invited as well!” Merkite called with her harmonious voice.
“Coming!” I said, gently waking up my little adoptive daughter and then moving to a big table in the open grasslands, right next to their farm.
There, they served us a delicious and very flavorful meat stew, with potatoes, carrots, and onions they grew as crops. Apparently, they had some people with Druid and Farmer classes that helped with growing crops.
“Hmm~ I missed mama’s stew!” Hekita said happily, eating bites off the chunks of meat in the stew.
“Make sure to eat the carrots as well, Hekita; they’re good for your eyesight. If you’re going to become a warrior in the future, you must have good eyesight." Urbosa said.
“Bleh, but I don’t like carrots…” Hekita was leaving them behind.
“Fufu, children these days. Dear, if you don’t want to eat the carrots, then how about this?” I gently mashed the carrots with the wooden fork and mixed them with the stew. “See? Now they’re gone!”
“Ooh?! They’re really gone!” She said in surprise, eating the stew as normal, yet she was now eating the carrots mixed in it.
“I hadn’t thought about that!” Urbosa said, laughing. “I guess children are still children, easily tricked by such things.” She giggled, resting her head on my shoulders and kissing me on the cheek. “You’re not bad at all as a father, dear.”
“I am trying my best,” I answered gently. Urbosa rewarded me with another kiss, this time on my lips. “Let’s have some fun later, alright~? Now that we’re in our tent, we can relax much more.”
“A-Ah, of course!” I nodded. I couldn’t reject such an offer. “Oh, right! I’ve got some sweets as well. Shall we enjoy them for dessert? Also, I got some tea too, here.”
I offered my goods to my twins and little Hekita, and they liked everything. The tea, in particular, they said was very soothing and calming to drink. After lunch and drinking some tea, I decided to work on something to protect this beautiful village.
I flew outside for a bit and placed several Primordial Formations in several sectors, surrounding the entire village by a hundred kilometers. Once activated, an invisible barrier of Primordial Essence was created.
I specifically designed it to drain Mana from the environment, which seemed never-ending, to be able to easily reinforce itself. And if that was somehow taken away, the barrier would simply drain energy from me, which there was an endless amount of too.
Ding!
[You have formed an incredibly complex Barrier Formation to protect the village you love; you received the [Barrier Master] Title!]
[For having constructed many powerful Barriers, and using Barriers both offensively and defensively, you learned the [Barrier Formation (S): Lv1] Magic Skill!]
Once I was back, I told the twins about what I had done.
“S-Such a barrier is possible?!” Urbosa gasped. “T-Then, but… how does it work?”
“Well, all of you people can enter in and out. The barrier itself possesses a bit of intelligence, so it can easily discern those welcome and those unwelcome.” I explained that as we sat down over the grasslands outside, Hekita was playing with my sister and little Felix. My mother went to the village and started to get along really well with the other mothers of the village, who welcomed her happily into their conversations.
“S-Such an amazing thing…” Merkite said. “I wonder if we could ever repay you for such a gift, with this, our village will finally prosper forever."
“We can at least repay you with something else, hm~?” Urbosa immediately started massaging my shoulders.
“Oh, yeah, I suppose we can repay you with our love.” Merkite winked at me, kissing me again. “Our endless passion.”
“Uwaah…” I was feeling once again slightly overwhelmed as these two overwhelming beauties were kissing and massaging my body. “A-Alright then, let’s go to your room; I will receive your kind payment there.”
“Let us go then.” Merkite nodded, grasping my buttocks tightly.
“Let’s have lots of fun, my love.” Urbosa caressed my arm as we moved there.
It seems that what they showed me last night was but one percent of their total power in bed, however.
Because when we finally entered their room in their large tent, we closed the door.
They unleashed their inner beasts.
And by the heavens above, I was completely eaten by their beastly passion.
I shall never underestimate beast women ever again.
