Lewd Saga Omnibus: 7 Book Collection: An Epic Digital Fantasy Adventure of Lust, Love and War

by Eden Redd

  Vanessa grinned wider, “I know. I also know you stick your head in fantasy games and books. We all have our addictions but yours is a fun one.” Eyes lowered to the tiny Thor’s hammer hanging from Luis’s backpack. “Hero’s help you walk the right path. Don’t worry, my gift is innocent and there to help you…work out your frustrations. It’s on your bed and it’s not against the law so enjoy it.”

  The dark-haired beauty winked and started walking. Luis watched his sister as she walked past the elevators and toward the stairs. When she opened the door to the stairwell, she glanced back with a wide smile and blew her brother one more kiss before stepping through, the door closing behind her.

  Luis finished putting the books back on the shelf. The stress worked his last nerve and felt the rest of the day was a wash. Hoisting the backpack strap over his arm, he walked toward the elevators, his mind dreading on what crazy gift his sister left him. After touching the down button, the student felt a flare of hope that she would be okay despite everything she is bringing upon herself.

  Luis hesitated before turning the knob to his dorm room. Wild thoughts and memories blasted his stressed-out mind. A silent prayer filled his throat as he hoped she didn’t leave him anything crazy like his seventeenth birthday. The prostitute was very nice but Luis nearly killed Vanessa after that. He lied that he slept with her only because he knew his crazy sister would keep sending him prostitutes. Luis was no virgin but the misguided presents his sister left for him were often crazy, outrageous or downright weird.

  The student took in a deep breath before turning the knob. The door opened and Luis slipped in, shutting the door behind him in case anyone walked by. Thankfully he was lucky enough to get his own dorm room so he didn’t need to share with anyone. It made college easier because it allowed him to gather his thoughts and refocus on his schoolwork.

  The tiny dorm was empty except for a twin bed, small desk, chair, one window and a closet. The walls were white and bare. Eyes searching, he immediately spotted a box on his bed with words drawn in black marker saying “Open me!”

  Luis took two steps and he was by the edge of his bed. Taking hold of the top flaps, he opened it and gazed inside. Eyes widened a little as hands reached in. Pulling out a smaller blue box, he turned it around in hands. The box was plastered with images of scantily clad women in medieval armor. Luis couldn’t help but wonder how that armor would stop anything. Looking at the top of the box, the words “Lewd Saga” were in black with blue outline.

  Luis stared at it, his eyes getting wider. He knew the game because everyone was still talking about it. It used to be called “Lewd Knights” but they expanded it once the secret beta finished. Now it contained a whole list of character classes and races one would play. Some of his buddies from the neighborhood talked endlessly about it. Luis was interested but the price tag was outrageous. He thought his time would be better spent studying then getting off in a sex fantasy game.

  Turning it on its side, Luis could see that it didn’t just have the helmet and game console, it also contained the new Mind’s Eye Gear suit that seemed to turn into a must have. It was the complete system for having erotic encounters in a virtual game.

  Red cheeks glowed as Luis held the box in his hands. Luis knew Vanessa was crazy but for her this was her idea of a perfect gift. Luis wasn’t sure to laugh or cringe. A part of him was intrigued but he quickly shook his head. The demands of midterms were too great and this system was nothing more than a big distraction from his studies. Normally he would think anyone else would be mortified on getting this system as a gift but Luis knew his sister well. Nympho often came to mind as her sex drive was normally in overdrive. Of course, she would buy something like this for him and think it was cute.

  Luis put the box back in the bigger box. Lifting it up, he stepped to his closet, opened the door and shoved onto the floor. Closing the door, he let out a tired sigh. School work was calling and he knew he had to get back into it despite wanting to do nothing more than sleep the day away. Stepping to his computer chair, he sat down and called up his notes on the monitor. Blinking his eyes, he tried to get back into study mode. After a few lines of reading, tired eyes looked away. Thoughts caressed his weary mind and he glanced at the closet. Curiosity bit into him. It was a gift and it would be rude to not check it out. The student’s mind felt a tiny rift divide him as he pondered if he should try it out or get back to studying. Midterms were next week but if he checked out the system, it would be a helpful distraction.

  The rift grew wider as he turned his chair around to face the closet, curiosity waving its flag of temptation.

  The air held an autumn crisp as Luis stepped out the main doors. Relief washed over his senses as he gazed up at the bright warm sun. The weight of knowledge had lifted and the student relaxed as his last midterm paper was turned in and tests were completed. The air and sun seemed extra vibrant as Luis let out a deep, soul cleansing breath. The pressure was now off and the young man felt he could finally relax.

  Taking out his cell phone, he saw that invitation after invitation hit his e-mail and Facebook. Luis turned once again to the sun. He wanted nothing more than go out and get hammered but sleep called out to him with a whisper. He had been up late almost every night for the last week trying to cram every bit of information in his head. The mental hoarding consumed him. He barely had three hours sleep, just long enough to keep his sanity for a little bit longer. Now that his obligations had finished for now, the siren song of sleep grew louder and louder.

  Walking along a stone path with green grass to either side of him, Luis turned onto another path and headed straight for the dorm. It was Friday afternoon and the only thing he wanted was to sleep like the dead. Perhaps he would try the parties Saturday night but for right now, his tiny bed called out to him to sleep the sleep of ancients.

  The world around him had become a blur. Before he knew it, he was stepping into his dorm room and closing the door behind him. Weary mind soothed frayed nerves as he stepped to the edge of the bed and flopped down onto his back. The comfort around him swelled and he kicked off his shoes, one at a time. Sleep raised her delicate hands and caressed his eyelids to slowly close. The student was just about to fall into the abyss when he turned his head, eyes staring at the closet.

  Memories floated through the current of his sleepy mind. Images of him putting a box in the closet and forcing himself to study took over. He told himself over and over again that he could not have any distractions but sneaky thoughts filtered in. He finished what was needed of him. He did a great job on those tests and papers, Luis told himself. He pushed the box and game system out of his mind, telling himself he could explore it when he had more time.

  Nagging thoughts rose up like a monster emerging from the swamp. The kiss of sleep faded into the background as Luis continued to stare at the closet door. The call of sleep fell silent and curiosity dug its claws deep into his mind. The student turned over, hoping it would push it all away but instead, his mind started to spin around and around. Ten minutes passed and Luis let out a tired sigh.

  “I guess I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” Luis said as he turned and sat up, legs over the side.

  Standing up, he crossed the tiny room and opened the closet. Reaching down, he picked up the box and stepped over to his computer desk. A thrill running up his spine, the need for sleep disappeared as he pulled out the blue box and opened it. Staring down, he reached in and pulled out the console and helmet. Placing them on the desk, he once again reached in and pulled out a white body suit with blue lines running along the joints, chest and stomach. Turning it in his hands, he looked it over. The crotch area had what looked like circles with cross shaped holes around the edge and inner thighs. Luis looked into the box for one last item and picked it up. The piece was white, smooth and curved. It had plus sign circles along the outer edge. Running a finger along it, Luis accidently pushed a small non-descript button. The inside of the whi
te curved oval shifted and turned. Rubber and mechanisms whirled as smooth elongated bubbles moved into new positions. Luis could see that it made what looked like a woman’s vagina before it shifted again and formed into phallus. The black phallus grew longer and longer before stopping and fading back into the piece of technology.

  “Test completed,” came a feminine voice. “Love Box is operational.”

  Luis turned it over in his hands and marveled at it. He couldn’t believe how lightweight and versatile it seemed. Robotics had come a long way since the stories his Abuela would tell him of her growing up. Putting the love box on the desk, Luis pulled out the manual and leafed through the pages. The manual was small and gave directions for putting the console, suit, love box and helmet in working order.

  Luis put the book down and started following the diagrams for setting the system up. After ten minutes, the console was plugged into the wall and the helmet was charging. Luis looked at the white and blue suit. The directions said he had to be naked when he wore it so the student made sure his dorm room was locked and then proceeded to undress. A strange excitement ran through him as he stripped naked. The suit felt smooth against his skin as he slipped in. Once it was on, he checked the directions for what he had to do next.

  Seeing the picture, a naked man and woman side by side, they attached the love box over their crotches. Without skipping a beat, Luis picked up the love box and pressed it to his crotch. Eyes went wide as the box vibrated to life. It attached its self and fit comfortable against him. There was a whirl and the fabric over his crotch was pulled away. The box seemed to adjust between his thighs and up to his belly button. There was a final whirl and a clank. Luis turned and moved but the box was comfortably covering his manhood.

  “So weird,” Luis grinned.

  The MEG helmet beeped and a small light on the side turned green. Luis was astounded how fast it charged. He read that once the helmet was charged, it would last a few days of constant use. Luis wasn’t sure how constant he would be using it. Despite feeling like a weirdo in a white body suit, he promised himself to only explore a little bit. Just enough to see if this was really for him. He much preferred the real thing but since he had no girlfriend to speak of, this could help as a nice little distraction.

  Picking up the helmet, Luis jumped onto his bed. Laying down, he silently he put the helmet over his head. A red light glowed above his brow as the game console wireless connected. Luis felt his heart thumb in his chest as he waited for the game to boot up. The lights on the console glowed green. A second later, the lights along his brow glowed green as well. With machines humming to life, Luis stared at the ceiling, waiting for anything to happen.

  Eyes closing, waves and impulses filled his head. The darkness bled away into a bright light. Before Luis could question what he was seeing, the light flashed, blinding him for a moment. Opening his eyes, a vibrant green field lay before him. Knee high grass billowed in the light breeze as trees dotted the area. The sky was a majestic blue and birds circled or darted in their aerial dance. Snowcapped mountains lay in the distance and the bright glow of the sun washed everything in a cleansing light.

  The sight before Luis took his breath away. Closing his eyes, he basked in the fantastical beauty of the moment. For a virtual world, it seemed too real and the act of closing his eyes helped bring some focus. Opening his eyes once again, the inspiring view did not diminish and a gentle sigh filled his heart.

  “Hello Luis,” said a voice from behind the player.

  Luis turned around, eyes drinking in the small cottage in the field and a blue haired woman standing by it. It took a second to register but the image before him was undeniable. The woman’s hair was a long and soft blue. She wore a simple white robe and a plunging neck line to show the shape of her perfect breasts. From behind her, large white feathered wings unfolded and she smiled brightly.

  “Hi,” Luis said with a playful grin.

  “Welcome to Lewd Saga, formerly known as Lewd Knights. My name is Cyn. Are you ready for your tutorials?”

  “Yes, please,” Luis said and took a few steps toward her.

  Cyn bowed her head and lifted a hand, pointing with all her fingers to the door of the cottage. The angel floated up a foot off the ground and moved to the door as it opened on its own. Luis followed, excitement filling every cell of his body as he followed the angel into the small cottage. Inside, the player looked around. It contained a main room with a door to the side. It was sparsely furnished with simple seating, a table and some paintings on the walls. The other door opened with a flick of Cyn’s fingers. Luis stepped over to see a bedroom with a rather large king-sized bed, small dresser and a mirror.

  Cyn floated in the main room, bright eyes on the new player, “As you know, the original game of Lewd Knights expanded due to overwhelming popularity. All players now start with several acres of land so they may improve their homes or build them however you wish. Your character class will influence your starting home a little. Please stop me if you have any questions.”

  Luis nodded. Taking a seat on the small sofa, he looked up to the angel with a small smile.

  Cyn continued, “Lukken is a medieval fantasy world. Here you may carve out your destiny or enjoy the fruits of paradise. To tailor the game to meet your needs and wants, we will go over choosing your character class, race, kinks, abilities, weapons and armor. What name do you wish to be called by?”

  Luis gazed at the floating angel as his mind fell into thinking mode. He forgot you had to create your persona for the world. Taking a few moments, he tried to think what would be the best fit for him. An image swirled up from his heart and invaded his thoughts. A hammer appeared and the player’s smiled grew wider.

  “Thorrin, Thorrin Rivers,” the player said enthusiastically.

  “Thank you Thorrin,” Cyn bowed her head.

  Two 2D screens appeared before Thorrin. Sitting up, he automatically leaned forward to read the screens. One held a list of races and the other scrolled a list of character classes.

  “As you can see, we are going to build your character from the ground up to add depth to your fantasies. Which race do you choose?”

  Thorrin eyed the different races but shook his head slightly, “I think I will stick with Human. I see here they are one of the main three factions in the game.”

  Cyn nodded. “Lukken has three ruling races, dragon lords to the north, humans on the east coast and troll masters to the south. War has begun across the lands of Lukken and all races are preparing for it. Whatever you choose with either help or hinder the war movement. Since you have chosen human, you can choose which side if any you want to assist or fight for. How do you wish to appear?”

  Thorrin didn’t take long to know how he wanted to look. Being short with dark hair and olive skin, he decided if this was going to be a fantasy then he was going to go all the way with it.

  “Six foot one, blonde hair, square jaw and strong shoulders. I also want some facial hair like a thin mustache and a tiny pointed beard. Can we do all of that?”

  Cyn bowed her head again, “Of course we can.”

  The mirror in the bedroom moved out into the main room. Thorrin was to his feet when it slid in front of him. The player marveled at his new appearance. He didn’t feel a thing but his body had completely changed to what he asked for. His vision even changed to a new perspective as he stood and turned in front of the mirror. Muscles bulged under his simple clothes and he ran a hand through his blonde hair. When he was done with his hair, he touched the small blonde hair above his lip and from his chin. His eyes were green and decided to keep the color since it matched his eyes in the real world.

  “Now a character class, there are many professions to choose from. Please review the list and ask me anything you wish to know further.”

  Thorrin looked at the scrolling list. There were many classes from mage, fighter, cleric to necromancer, rouge and pirate. Reaching up, he spun through the list two more times until his eyes fell o
n Paladin.

  “Tell me about the Paladin Class?”

  “A paladin is holy knight, striving to bring either light or darkness in the world of Lukken. Their actions inspire or despise the people all across the lands. As a paladin, you will have fighting skills as well as healing and protection magical abilities.”

  “Knights get concubines to increase their power and abilities. Do I get concubines too?”

  Cyn shook her head slightly, “The paladin class does not gain concubines. Since Lewd Saga does not have levels, you can grow your power through inspiration and unlocking a creature’s Faith. Once they open their heart to you, you can call on them at any time to fight alongside you. Whereas a knight will house, protect and care for a harem, your harem will be scattered all across the lands from your adventures. Once they open their heart to you, they will follow you wherever you may lead. But you must be careful. Your actions can cause a loyal friend to leave should you fall to the opposite sphere of good or evil.”

  “What do you mean?”

  Cyn floated closer, eyes on the player, “Paladins will have a struggle between the spheres of light and dark. Commit an act of good and the sphere of light will grow as the sphere of darkness will lessen. Commit and act of evil, the sphere of light will diminish and the sphere of darkness will grow. This works both ways. Only those who are committed to their sphere will become very powerful and desired.”

  Thorrin could see in the corner of his vision as attribute stats began to appear as well as two spheres, one white and the other black. Numbers rolled by his Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, Wisdom and Stamina. When they finished, he could see his stats pertaining to his character.

  “Wisdom is a main stat for Paladins. When you use your healing or protection abilities, you will drain Wisdom. As you travel and learn more abilities, other stats may be used to activate them. Some races of Lukken will teach abilities after you unlock their faith.”
