"I told you we could do it," Carly said to Jany, "you have to trust us more."
"I know. You're right. You're right. I'm sorry I doubted you."
"It's okay. It's okay. We've proven we're ready, haven't we? Let's go straight to a castle then," Kendra said, full of enthusiasm, lifting her bat over her head.
"Are you sure?" Jany asked, her eyes bouncing from person to person.
"Let's go. Why not?" I said and waved my sword, "It's time to use it."
"He's right. We can do it." Carly said, smiling at me for the first time.
"It's time to trust you then." Jany said and smiled at her sister.
Carly tried to walk but she was still in pain. She was limping and nearly fell. I had to hold her by her hip and help her to walk.
"You don't have to do this," she told me.
"It doesn't cost me anything. Let's go. I'll carry you until the pain passes."
"I'm still suspicious of you," she said and turned her face to hide the smile that enlightened her.
I laughed and told her it was okay.
Chapter X
Only I and Jany were level three when we found ourselves facing a castle. I say castle but, truth be told, it was more of a shed with two towers around it. I even had to ask Jany if we were in the right place.
"Yes, the higher the NPC level that protects the castle, the greater it is," she told me, "this castle is level 4. It should be protected by some of the monsters we encountered along the way and the final boss."
"It's my first time here. I'm nervous." Emma said.
"This is no time for that. Let's go!" Kendra replied.
As soon as we drew closer to the castle, we were shoved into a red circle that surrounded the building.
The dark red flickered steadily as a knighted man carrying a black sword left the castle. He was escorted by a dozen level 1 scorpions and three level 3 hexagonal beasts. The helmet protected his head and the black armor with golden yellow contours glowed even in the absence of any natural light.
"Who dares step outside my castle?" The NPC asked, as haughty as it was creepy, "You can't fight me without going through my soldiers first."
"What are we supposed to answer?" I asked the girls.
"I have no idea," Carly answered me.
"Who cares?" Just get ready. This isn't going to be easy," Jany said and looked at Emma, "Don't hesitate. You may not get a second chance,"
"I'll try..."
"And you're going to succeed!" Kendra told her and put her hand around the nape of her neck, "You'll see this is just a matter of habit."
"Okay, this is how we're going to handle this," Mimi started, drawing all our attention, "Jany and James take care of the hexagonal beasts. We take care of the scorpions. That should be enough for most of us to level up, right?"
"I think so. We'll see about that later. Now it's time to attack." Jany answered her. She maneuvered the axe, her wrist following the circular motion she was making.
We placed ourselves in position being careful not to get out of the red circle. Jany had warned us that whoever got out wouldn't be able to come back and wouldn't gain any experience points. So, it was one more problem we'd have to keep an eye on.
We moved forward, weapons in hand, carefully. We knew what awaited us, but we still wanted to avoid losing HP unnecessarily. Even Jany had put the impulse aside and walked beside me, nearly crouched, grasping the axe tightly.
"Which one do you want?" She asked me.
"The two on the left," I answered her.
"No way. I'll take two, you take one." She told me, her eyes reaching for my soul.
"Better than that, then. I'll take the one on the right and you take the one on the left. The first to win is entitled to the other. Fair?"
"Deal. Let's do it then."
The other girls were already fighting the little scorpions. They only had to be careful anytime the monsters used their spindly tails to strike them. According to Jany, the only one of us who had ever been there, their sting drained HP until they recovered all their life.
Carly wasn't in pain anymore. She was hitting the scorpions with her spear, keeping her distance, as well as Mimi and Emma who already had red hands from shooting arrow after arrow. Kendra was laughing like crazy as she threw the scorpions against the castle walls. Each hit was accurate and strong enough for his heads to explode before they even hit the rocks. The little HP they had was gone in seconds.
I couldn't stay behind. I told them I'd protect them, and it was time to show them how good I was. Seeing them like that; joyful, giving everything for a common goal, filled my heart. I had never played on a team, or even a guild, that was as close-knit as they were. It was not only they who were lucky to have my help, I was also lucky to have met them. I reckon that no matter how good the game was, not everyone was lucky enough to have five hot girls on their side. Plus, I'd already had fun with two and one of them didn't seem to care if I had a thing with the rest.
"LET'S GO!" Jany shouted, before starting to run towards the monsters, wielding the axe beside her legs.
"NO FEAR!" I screamed and there I went, behind her, drawing my sword like a spear.
She beat me to it. She attacked the closest thing to a head that the monster had and tried to slice the goo, but it became an impossible task. An orange liquid was spreading over the axe's metal, covering it, trying to smuggle it into his body, were it not for Jany's brute force that was forced to push it out. She still took 30HP from it. Damn it. I was about to strike one of the monsters in half, but it clearly wouldn't work. I thought stronger weapons would have more impact than mere arrows, but apparently not. Even if I took him a little HP, there was a chance I'd lose my sword and I couldn't risk it. Just as Kendra had done, it was necessary to hit the few places in the monster's body that were not goo. The feet! I was still running; I tried to brake, forcing my legs to stop immediately, and as soon as I could, I set one foot behind me. I lowered myself to stand at her feet, and sliding the sword backwards to swing, chopping off the air along the way, I tried to slice off her feet. My sword cut off part of the metal and got stuck in the middle of the first one. No matter how hard I tried, she didn't seem to come out of there and the orange liquid was already dripping on Mimi's mantle, spreading through it and consuming it. What a shitty sword. I had spent 200 gold coins on it and it didn’t even cut metal from a level 3! But it was not the time to make excuses, but rather to find solutions. Jany kept repeating the same movement. Emma was right. She was all attack and zero planning. She was getting tired unnecessarily, just to try to be the first.
"Jany, that's not going to work." I told her.
"It seems to me what you're doing isn't working either, is it?"
"Damn it. This is no time for that." I answered her, while losing 5HP every three seconds. She, too, had already lost 15HP.
"What's your plan?" She asked me, biting her lower lip right away. This time it wasn't about pleasure but to control her anger.
"They're almost done with the scorpions. We're not really going to stay behind, are we?" I told her. I waited for her to look at the other girls and continued, "One last effort. Let's go. We can’t fail."
"If you say so." Jany said, before pulling the axe out of the monster's body for the fourth or fifth time and lifting it above her head before dropping it as hard as possible on his gray feet. The ground shook before the metal broke into dozens of pieces. The HP of the beast went down to about 20 while Jany was getting ready to crush his second foot. I grabbed my sword until my toes trembled and my joints turned red and swollen and ploughed all the way, until my sword cracked, but not before chopping off both the beast's feet. The gooey body landed on the ground, the HP dropping, the goo scattered on the ground until it finally faded away. I still looked away in time to see Carly sticking the tip of the spear into one of the scorpions and the pops that signaled that she had levelled up.
"It worked," Jany said to me, "They only have two more to go and we have one to go... We'
re left with a... draw?" She said and I could feel her voice being pulled into her throat as if that whole sentence had come out without a thought.
I laughed and agreed, "One foot for each? I never thought I'd say this," I added, giggling once again. My ribs were already aching.
"Yeah, yes, yes. Come on, focus on the fight. We still have the boss to go." She said.
We both attacked at the same time. The beast still tried to get up, but we nailed it to the ground. The little metal parts, the wires that were shutting down and the structure itself, vanished just like her body. Now it was my turn to have the pops around me. Finally, level three. There were only two left before I could choose a subtype and have magic. I couldn't wait.
Emma wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran to me, her tits bouncing up and down, like she was in slow motion, "I did it!" she said and hugged me.
The rest of them looked at us with suspicion, hugging each other, but none said anything. All that was missing was the final boss. The level four soldier. Jany was very explicit when she warned us that the bosses were stronger than any beast on that same level.
"Do we attack at the same time?" Kendra asked Mimi.
"Let me think," she said.
While she was thinking, the soldier laughed. He stepped forward and drew a black sword from the scabbard. The tip of the two sharp edges crept across the ground, making circles and what appeared to be glyphs.
"You're taking too long. " The NPC said, "I got tired of waiting."
Before we were even ready, before we had a plan, he rushed towards us and slammed Mimi with his shoulder, tossing her to the ground. She lost 25HP outright. The man still raised his sword and tried to hit Carly's chest with it, but I stood in the middle and used mine as a shield. No doubt he was stronger than me and his sword was about to break mine in two, had it not been for the appearance of Kendra's bat that struck him in the helmet, throwing it to the ground.
His face was revealed to us; white with blue features, pale, as if he had been frozen long ago, and now walked through the castle, punished for all eternity. He also had a scar on his right side that ran from his eyebrow almost to his chin. There was no blood, just an empty, black space, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was able to pull us in if we touched it. He took a few steps back but didn't pick up his helmet, just his sword. He'd lost 20HP, but he still had 140.
"Attack his head!" Mimi screamed while Carly helped her up, "Emma shot him in the eye."
"I can't... I don't have that aim." Emma answered her.
"We all believe in you. We'll distract him. Let us know when you're ready." Kendra told her.
Me, her and Jany moved in and surrounded him. His sword was next to the armor, diagonally, as he spun, aware that one of us would be the first to attack. Jany didn't waste any time as expected. As she was taller than him, she tried to quickly crush his head, but he had time to block the axe with the sword and to shove her away. He used his shoulder once again, this time to push Kendra back and flinging his sword from one hand to the other, skillfully maneuvering it, he still shielded himself from my attack.
"Is this all you have?" He asked and burst out laughing again. As he opened his mouth, a cold flow scattered throughout the red circle. My bones shivered and my hair rose.
"I'm ready!" Emma said, having the arrow ready to pop out towards us, even if her hand was shaking and the bow was moving a few centimeters to both sides.
"Take a deep breath. You can do it. Just like I taught you." Mimi told her. She seemed to have twisted her hand by the way she had it against her body and how Carly was touching her wrist, seeing if she could move it.
We hadn't been able to contain the boss at all. There was only one way. It was my time to shine, to be the hero Emma saw in me. Without the NPC seeing, I snuck out behind him. I threw my sword to the ground. I still took a deep breath before I went ahead and grabbed both his hands on his back. I just had to hold him for a few seconds.
"Now. HURRY!" I screamed, as he tried to free himself, my feet digging deep into the earth.
"What are you doing?" Emma asked.
"Don't worry about me! Shoot him! You can do it!" I told her, already running out of breath, my arms losing their strength.
The arrow was fired, ripping the air, passing by Kendra who was still on the ground and Jany who was preparing for a second attack. It struck the soldier's crystalline eye. His forces vanished. I ditched him and walked away. He brought his hands to his face, the agonizing screams flooding the place where we were trapped, his HP going down to half.
"Attack with everything you've got now!" Mimi screamed again, already with a potion of HP in her hand.
So, we did. I grabbed my sword while Kendra smashed the boss with the bat to the point where he spit out the few rotten teeth he had in his mouth and his saliva leaped to the ground. Then Jany came along and this time was not stopped when she stabbed him in the head with her axe. Finally, me. I didn't waste any time. I set one foot back, let the other one slip forward, and in one almost spinning motion, I chopped off his head. It rolled across the floor and the castle began to fade.
"Did we make it?" Emma asked, her hands trembling.
"We did it!" Carly said, raising one hand, having the other on Mimi's back.
"It wasn't even that hard. Nobody was hurt. We can beat a lot of stronger castles." Kendra said, "But, I know, we can't get cocky. Let's take it easy." She said and smiled.
The red circle blew up and we were able to get out of there. There was no monster around us. Each of us received 50 experience points, 50 golden coins, plus a sapphire necklace that provided 30 defense points to anyone wearing it. We ended up deciding that Mimi would have it until she recovered completely. Not only me and Carly had levelled up, but also Mimi and Kendra. I ended up placing two points in my HP (+40), two in my attack (+20) and one in my defense (+10).
"Now what?" Carly asked Jany.
"We keep walking towards the icy mountains. If we want to level up, that's where we must go. Damien must know what our plan is."
"Damien?" I asked.
"The governor. I forgot you didn't know his name. He's probably training too. We have to train twice as much." Jany said, "Come on, let's get out of here."
We walked through the sandy plain, trying to reach its end. Maybe we could find a city on the way; a place where we could rest. We had earned good money and were willing to use it to buy potions. Mimi had also said she was thinking of buying a two-arrow bow.
Chapter XI
Quickly the clouded sky gave way to an impenetrable darkness. The only light we had was of the dozens of stars that filled the black mantle above us.
"We've been playing this for hours. Let's take a break." Carly said.
"She's right. We better stop for a few hours." Kendra added.
"We'll come back after dinner, then?" Emma asked, "We might as well win one more castle today."
"You're excited, aren't you? That's good. That's the spirit!" Jany told her and pushed her a little bit which nearly knocked her down.
"Well, then we all log off and we return at 9:30pm. Is that good for everyone?"
We all agreed. Jany even explained to me that we could leave the game at any time, except during a battle, but if we weren't in a resting house, by the time we returned, our avatar wouldn't have recovered HP. It was fair. One by one they vanished except for Mimi and Carly.
"Don't go yet." Mimi said, "You sacrificed yourself for us." She said and walked up to me, swinging her hips.
"Impossible to be wary of you after that one." Carly added and leaned on me...
"It was no big deal. I said I'd help you." I answered them.
"Still, we think you deserve to be rewarded." Carly told me, "Unless you're not interested."
"It depends on what you have in mind," I said, and before I knew it, Mimi had already thrown the upper part of her clothes to the ground. The medium-sized round tits swinging as she walked away from me.
"Like this," she answered me and
took off her bra, freeing her beautiful tits, her nipples already hard.
"You two?"
"Yes," Carly replied, giggling, she too, taking the top off and letting the white nipples, that contrasted with the rest of her skin color, be free, "we talked about it and neither one of us was against it."
"But I've already..."
"You were with my sister, I know. Don't worry about it. This is just a game, a very realistic one." She said, getting nearly on her knees but never letting them touch the ground.
"Yes, it's very realistic," Mimi added and joined her.
I had no idea what was going on, but I wasn't going to stop it. I knew that anonymity led people to commit madness, to situations that they couldn’t accomplish in real life. But in WFO, her faces were the real ones. Mimi's long blonde hair and Carly's snails. Mimi's breasts were slightly bigger, but Carly made up for it with her huge ass and broad hips. They pulled my pants down to my knees, giggling as they looked at each other. First, they kissed, their lips splashing between them. Only then, Carly grabbed my already hard dick and placed the tip in her mouth. She licked it softly, at the same time as Mimi twisted her tongue in my balls. I took a deep breath before I tilted my head back.
We were in the middle of nowhere. There were no monsters and no other players. Hairballs rolled across the ground along with the swirling wind. I'd rather do that somewhere else, of course. Somewhere where I could lay them down and handle them myself. I wanted to see them moaning without having to worry about getting caught.
Yeah, because I had never been a risk-taker. Much less in a game that it would only take a single person that I knew to catch me there and that would be something hard to explain. Or maybe the person would tell me that it was nothing special, that she had done it too when I’d rather not know about it.
Carly slowly licked the tip one last time before her moist lips slid down the length. She was sucking my dick, but I was the one who almost choked. Oh, fuck. She was good, very good. She was younger than her sister, but better at the blowjob art. She was sucking like it was her last day on earth. Her cheeks were stuffed with saliva that eventually flowed down her lips, chin, until it fell on her breasts and slipped through her body. Mimi had put my right ball in her mouth and was sucking it slowly as her blue eyes stared at me. She still winked at me at the same time her friend was gagging.
