Elora smiled as if reading his mind. “We have all the time in the world to love each other…all three of us.”
Edric grinned. Juna squeezed the summoner’s hand as Elora leaned in close.
“Besides, we have a lot of work ahead of us, repopulating Lukken,” Elora winked.
“Our duty continues,” Juna laughed.
“I love you,” Edric said to Elora and Juna.
“We love you,” Juna and Elora said in unison.
Edric took a sip before turning his warm gaze on the beautiful women on each of his arms. “I think we should start tonight.”
The woman and half-troll nodded as they leaned in. Lips touched and tongues swirled. Edric’s heart glowed in his chest. The digital reality around them seemed to slip away as he basked in the serene beauty of a new life and purpose, the horizon on his soul no longer a barrier but a road to great adventures.
***
The glow of the setting sun touched Thomas’s windows. The young man sipped on a beer as he sat on his couch, watching the news. The channels talked endlessly about the end of Lewd Saga two months ago. There was some rioting and many professing their love for digital people. It reached a fevered pitch until it slowly began to die down. Many other companies tried to cash in on similar games but it never had the same feel as Lewd Saga.
Thomas went back to Lukken after the reboot and was sadly disappointed. Faint memories of blank eyed AIs and slightly limited interactions caused him to abandon his subscription to the MMO. It had become a hollow shell of what it was and being there felt like a travesty.
Thomas smiled to himself as he thought to the secret world of Lukken. The smile grew broader as he remembered a few days after that fateful night they made it out he was pregnant with either Elora or Juna’s child. The Awakened needed players to carry their children and Edric was more than happy to take on the task. In a few more months, his kid or kids would appear; ready to help newer generations mold their world into something grand.
Thomas picked up the remote and turned off the flat screen. Thoughts flowed to his new job. It felt good to go to work and be appreciated for the fine work. To be part of a team where everyone helped each other up and gave credit where credit was due. It filled his life with a double purpose, happy in his real and digital life.
A shadow touched his memories, his previous company closing down because of all the lawsuits and dirty dealings. Thomas lifted his beer in mock salute to their stupidity. When positions opened up in his new company, he offered jobs to good previous co-workers and they were happy to work with him again. It created a synergy that made him get up every day and do his best.
Thomas sighed in blissful contentment when the doorbell rang. The young man stood up and made his way across the one-bedroom apartment. When he opened the door, eyes widened and a smile formed.
Three women stood; nervous smiles on two but the short one had a wicked smirk. The short one had black hair and looked a little different but the facial structure was unmistakable. A mature woman stood behind them, tall and with red hair. Her body held an hourglass shape but her eyes contained a true understanding of what was happening. To the side, a thin woman stood with long, straight brown hair and a confident smile.
Edric’s smile grew broader, “How did you find me?”
The short dark-haired woman stepped in, brushing Thomas to the side. “I work for the CIA. I knew where you all lived when we first met.”
The mature woman stuck out her hand, “Cassandra.”
The young man took it, “Thomas.”
The thin woman stepped closer as Cassandra stepped in. “Elizabeth.”
Thomas kept his smile as he stuck his hand out to shake hers. Elizabeth pushed it aside, wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss. Thomas stepped back; closing the door while holding Elizabeth, tongues swirling.
“She’s been like that with each of us,” Samantha said as she raided Thomas’s fridge and pulled out a beer.
Elizabeth pulled away with a mischievous smile and walked next to Samantha, pulling a beer from the fridge.
“I don’t know what to say other then I’m happy you’re here,” Thomas said as he picked up another beer.
Samantha nodded, “The party is just starting. More friends are coming over.”
Thomas raised an eyebrow, “More?”
Cassandra leaned against the kitchen island, “Sam thought we would have a party.”
Thomas blinked. “Okay.”
“It will take a little getting used to,” Sam eyed the blank gaze in Thomas’s eyes.
Thomas laughed. “Yes, you all sort of look like your avatars. I’m just so used to seeing you in the game that…”
Elizabeth flopped on the couch, “We have been talking and we knew we all had to meet. Now we have to decide how this relationship is going to work.”
Thomas raised an eyebrow.
“Did you really think we would all just have a relationship in the game,” Samantha winked.
Cassandra crossed her arms under her rather large breasts, “I wasn’t sure either until Samantha and Elizabeth talked about it a little more.”
“Consider this the first of many dates together,” Samantha smiled evilly before taking another drink.
Thomas nodded. “Then we should get to know each other in reality a little more.”
All heads nodded in agreement.
Time flowed as the four talked. Thomas put on some music and the mood took on a rosy hue. The front door bell rang. When Thomas opened it, several more people showed up like old friends. Jason was the first to greet before Rachel and Trevor stepped in behind them. It took a moment for Thomas to understand that Rachel was Blue Sonja and Trevor was Lance/Lornus. The trio sauntered in as Cassandra, Samantha and Elizabeth greeted them with warm hugs and kisses on the cheek. Not long later, Luis arrived with two bottles of vodka. He apologized for Vanessa and Adam as they could not come because they were on their honeymoon.
Drinks flowed as the apartment grew warmer. Thomas found himself staring at his companions. Samantha seemed to be just like her digital version, Rayna. She had a sardonic sense of humor but despite her dark demeanor, loving warmth glowed. Cassandra was very much like her wood elf monk. She was reserved and watchful but her true self seemed to peek out during conversations. Elizabeth on the other hand was playful, shy for short moments and then grabbing Rachel for long kisses. Trevor stood, enjoying the view of the people gathered, sipping his drink. Jason was wide-eyed and fun, almost like a great weight was off his shoulders. At first, Thomas thought Luis might have been just as serious as his paladin avatar but after a few shots, he was laughing and carrying on like a true family member.
Soon the conversations turned to Lukken on the phantom server. Laughing erupted when they all said they were in various stages of digital pregnancy. Towns and small kingdoms had formed and the Awakened were happier than they had ever been before. Thomas’s heart seemed to grow a few sizes bigger at just the thought of the future.
The evening wore on and talk of secret meetings and protecting Lukken came up. Samantha ensured she would do everything she could from within the CIA. Others charted out the direction some of the kingdoms should take. Jason informed the gathered group of Andrea’s plans to keep the server locations secret with some migrating and VPN access.
“Building an empire will be hard work but I think we all can do it,” Jason said with a smile.
Rachel sat back on the couch, between Cassandra and Elizabeth, “Lunatina is already saying we need a new Middle Kingdoms. That it is her birthright.”
“It’s on the agenda,” Trevor said and took a shot.
Thomas felt the dizzy swirl of alcohol as he tried to not glance at Cassandra, Elizabeth and Samantha. As the evening wore on, the familiar touch of their spirits seemed to infect the mood. Thoughts washed on the inebriated shores of his mind, Elora and Juna glowing with sensual power. Those thoughts fell into rising waters as Thomas eyed the beautiful wome
n, feet from him.
Elizabeth caught sight of Thomas’s wandering eyes and let out a sigh. “I think our host has other plans right now.”
All eyes turned to Thomas, his cheeks pink and his gaze cast downward. Smiles filled the room as the air changed to something sensual and sultry.
“We were wondering what was taking so long,” Rachel said with warm tone.
Thomas looked at the gathered friends with wide eyes, “I…”
Trevor nodded. “It’s alright. We were all thinking it.”
Thomas took a deep breath, “You mean…you all want to?”
Samantha stood up as Elizabeth took off her shirt, exposing her pert breasts.
“Empires are built on strong foundations,” Samantha cooed as she ran her hands over Thomas’s chest.
Cassandra stood up and walked over to Thomas. Lips touched his and the spike of needs bubbled below the surface.
“It is a date, isn’t it,” Cassandra smiled.
Thomas smiled as hands took hold of his clothes and began to unbutton, un-tuck and pull off. The young man watched as bodies moved, pulling clothes off and touching each other in intimate gestures. Blood rushed as Thomas tried to keep his wits, inner wants dictating what was going to happen.
The world fell into place as bodies touched and moans bloomed. Love, lust and ecstasy flourished among the friends, sensual kissing and licking spilling over nude bodies. It felt perfect as Thomas fell into their private world. The moans grew into a symphony none of them could or want to deny.
The night played on, one song after the next as a full moon shined down on the city. The dim light caressed massive structures while fragile hearts grew stronger with each passing climax and a promise of new destinies on the magnificent horizon.

Epilogue
The hospital room was quiet except for several beeping machines. A woman laid, tubes in her mouth and arms, a helmet covering her head. Eyes were closed as a tube assisted her breathing. Evening light poured into the sterile room as the door opened.
Two nurses stepped in, closing the door behind them and moving to the woman on the bed. One female nurse had eyes like she had seen everything and it caused her heart to harden into stone. The male nurse at her side was wide eyed and a little nervous.
The female nurse looked down as the unconscious woman. “She will be in your charge. Her name is Laura Bright. She has been in a coma for months. She was playing that game, Lewd Saga and had some freak accident. The helmet fried her brain and put her into a coma.”
The nurse tapped the helmet on the unconscious woman’s head. “The same technology used for the game is being used to heal brain trauma, the irony that something that nearly killed her is helping to repair the damage.”
“How long before she wakes,” the nervous nurse nearly stuttered.
The older nurse shrugged, “The tech is still experimental. It could be a few more weeks or months. Your job is to clean out bed pans, change out solutions and check in on her every few hours.”
The older nurse began to walk away. “You still have four more patients to look after so let’s keep moving.”
The younger nurse gave Laura a long, haunted gaze before turning and following the older nurse out the door. When the door closed shut, the room grew silent except for the beeping of machines.
Laura’s eyes trembled as her head moved. Electrical pulses surged into frayed nerve endings. Her body began to convulse and after a few seconds, it stopped.
Eyelids fluttered. A small moan rose up the tube in her mouth. Images flashed of a life where she was a sexy necromancer and fighting for her life against an undead monster. The images became so real; Laura sat up, pulling the tube from her mouth. The young woman gagged as the tube fell away, beeping alarms sounding off. Laura reached up and grabbed the helmet. With a wretch, she pulled it off and threw it to the tiled floor.
Laura’s eyes widened as she took deep, cleansing breaths. The memories of a Dread Lord floated away as she felt reality. Fingers coiled into blankets and a strange soreness crept under her skin. Madness took hold as Laura’s smile grew wider. Joy and bliss touched her as a stark realization took root deep in her waking psyche.
“I’m…alive…I’M ALIVE,” Laura shouted as loud as her lungs would allow.
The young woman continued to shout in joy as nurses and staff ran toward her door. Laura laughed as feelings returned to her spirit, the long nightmare over. Whipping the blankets off her body, she clumsily tried to stand while the door slammed open and nurses rushed to her side.
“I’m alive,” Laura repeated, hugging the nurses, laughing and feeling like she was reborn once again.
~The End~
From the Author
I want to take this moment to thank you, the reader. The Lewd Saga series has been special to me in many ways. A sexy fantasy/cyberpunk adventure, it tested me to finish writing an epic series, something I don’t believe I ever did before.
There were many up and downs, long nights and tired days in the last few years but I knew deep down, I had to complete it. Now that it is over, I feel a sense of sadness that the long journey is over. It was emotional adventure but something that will stick with me for years to come.
There will always be new adventures.
So, I leave you with these final words to the epic series. Enjoy the small moments. Linger on sweet touches and gentle kisses. Laugh, live and love. See a sunrise and moonrise. Take a moment and see yourself in the universe.
Follow your heart and you will never be lost.
Thank you!
~Eden
