EPIC: Path of Demons and Dragons-Chapter 312: Tryst

"Wow...this feels so...real..." muttered Lisanna, standing on the edge of a grassy cliff overlooking a truly fantastical terrain with distant mountains, bones from ancient creatures littering the landscape, a megalithic tree in the distance, rivers that flowed through the air, and a plethora of floating islands suspended by dense clouds.

"If we stayed here long enough, my power would eventually make it real," stated Vahn, placing his hand on Lisanna’s left shoulder as he positioned himself to her right. She had left it to him to decide the setting and theme of their date, so after spending the previous night considering his options, he decided to pull out the VR headsets. Then, instead of choosing a world he was familiar with, he prompted the System to generate a fantasy world with breathtaking environments, hidden dungeons, and a vast assortment of befriendable monsters.

"And we’re the only two people here...?" asked Lisanna, turning to Vahn with starry eyes and a broad smile.

"That’s right," confirmed Vahn, nodding his head and adopting a smile of his own as he explained, "The genre I selected was sandbox survival, so unless we invite others to join us or trigger a quest line to discover some ancient peoples, we shouldn’t encounter anyone."

"Perfect..." hummed Lisanna, causing Vahn’s brows to rise as she slipped her hand past the fabric of his loincloth and grabbed his cock. Since they were in a survival setting, they had spawned into the world in nothing but fur-lined undergarments. For Vahn, this meant a worn brown loincloth. For Lisanna, she received an additional breastwrap, giving the impression that they were a couple of cave-dwellers.

"Shouldn’t this come after we’ve secured water, shelter, and food?" asked Vahn, offering no resistance as Lisanna, sporting a sultry smile, positioned herself facing him and descended into a deep squat with her hands on his outer thighs. From there, she unsheathed his cock, gave the underside a slow lick from base to tip, and spent nearly twenty minutes felatting him—kicking off their seven-day cohabitation with a bang...

[Two Days Later]

In order not to invalidate the difficulty of the game and undermine its mechanics, Vahn prohibited himself from using his System’s Functions. Fortunately, the game had similar functions built in, including a much smaller Inventory that could store an infinite number of materials and items, so long as they didn’t exceed his Strength-determined carrying capacity of 41,092 kg.

"Honey, I’m home!" shouted Vahn, returning to the clearing Lisanna had chosen for their base with a handwoven leather backpack and upgraded clothes formed from leather and fur. Circling the clearing was a makeshift fence of sharpened wooden posts, within which were a dozen tanning stations and a series of workbenches forming a perimeter around a large leather tent and a bone-formed pen containing nearly spherical chickens.

"Welcome back! Did you manage to gather everything I asked you to~?" asked Lisanna, emerging from the tent wearing a white cloth swimsuit top, jewelry formed from shells and raw gemstones, and a stylish pareo around her hips.

"Do I ever not...?" countered Vahn, smiling as he approached Lisanna, hefted her up by her butt, and gave a protracted kiss as she wrapped her legs around him. In the process, he made his way into a cave carved out of the cliff overlooking the clearing, within which were a series of wooden crates, bags of grain, a dozen treasure chests, and four insulated storage containers for surplus meat, fish, dairy, and vegetables.

In between sitting Lisanna atop one of the crates, lying her down, and pushing up her legs, Vahn opened his Inventory and used the convenient Auto-Storage feature to place items into their designated containers with a single confirmation. Then, as was their custom, he commemorated his return by making slow but passionate love to Lisanna until a fresh batch of semen warmed her belly—her eleventh for the day...

"Behold the power of twenty Construction...!" exclaimed Lisanna, striking a pose with her hands outstretched. In response, a small two-story house formed of pale red light appeared in the clearing’s center, alongside a tiny window that showed the amount of materials needed to complete it and a warning about the ground not being clear.

"Could the grass be getting in the way...?" guessed Vahn, tilting his head as Lisanna, feeling embarrassed, moved the projected house around and made slight adjustments to its orientation. She eventually managed to get it to turn emerald green, indicating that it was ready to be built, but since the orientation was wrong, she exhaled audibly from her nose and turned her head to meet Vahn’s gaze.

"Just leave it to me," affirmed Vahn, smiling as he produced a silver hoe in his right hand, raised it over his head, and held it for three seconds. Then, with a single drive, he created a three-by-three plot of perfectly tilled soil, each measuring three by three meters. After that, he swapped the hoe for a large hammer, posing a second time until an emerald green grid, visible only to him, overlapped with the tilled soil.

WHAM

With Vahn’s hammer strike flattening the previously tilled ground to the point it was perfectly level, Lisanna’s smile returned as she shamelessly repeated, "Behold the power of twenty Construction!"

Following Lisanna’s shout, the previously light-formed house materialized into a solid structure from the foundation up. With that, the two days they had spent camping came to an end.

"If only it were this easy to construct things outside~" hummed Lisanna, trusting that Vahn would catch her as she rather abruptly jumped up and turned her body sideways. Fortunately, Vahn was used to her antics and had a pretty good idea of what she wanted, so after smoothly catching her, he carried her across the threshold of their unfurnished abode like a bride, remarking, "Looks like I’m going to have to collect a lot more wood and clay..." in response to the barren interior.

"I could join you," offered Lisanna, playfully kicking her feet as she added, "But I would prefer to focus on improving my Crafting, Construction, and Cooking Skills. Once my Construction reaches forty, we can upgrade to a fortified villa."

"Oh, I wasn’t complaining," said Vahn, carrying Lisanna up to the master bedroom on the second floor, backing into it as he sonorously appended, "It’s my privilege to provide for such a charming, beautiful, and competent homemaker..."

"Keep complimenting me, and I’ll have to reward you..." hummed Lisanna, her voice low and husky as she narrowed her eyes and presented her lips to Vahn while simultaneously pulling up her Crafting menu. Contrary to his words, Vahn had already gathered enough food and materials to build and supply a small castle town, but as they had agreed to split their roles as a husband and wife, it fell upon her to put them to use.

Placing Lisanna atop the bed she had constructed, Vahn christened their new home with the reverberations of her moans. When they first entered the virtual world, she had asked him to treat her as if she were dearest to him. Thus, much like when he cohabited with Grayfia, Venelana, Yoruichi, and others, he made no effort to suppress his desires. Lisanna was a little overwhelmed by this at first, but after getting used to having sex anytime, anywhere, she began anticipating and looking forward to it...

’Some of these designs feel like plagiarism...’ noted Vahn, seated atop a large boulder overlooking a wetland populated by a variety of monsters, most notable being a species of water buffalo that resembled a Pokémon known as a Boufallant. The most notable difference was that their coats were blue, and in place of frizzy afros, they had dark blue braids and gold, gem-embedded ornaments dangling from their horns that felt more man-made than natural.

whoosh

As Vahn was silently observing the scene, a shadow briefly passed over him, followed by a crimson-scaled wyvern swooping down and landing on top of one of the Boufallant-esque monsters, pinning it to the ground with bone-crushing force. The buffalos, known as Water Buffaloos, were four meters tall, six long, and covered in dense hide, but even they appeared small compared to the twenty-meter-long wyvern, its segmented, spine-tipped tail, and its muscular, webbed wings.

’That looks like it would make some high-quality equipment...’ thought Vahn, using a pair of bone and metal binoculars to get a closer look at the wyvern, causing its name and data related to its size, weight, and danger level to appear. Had he been an ordinary user of the VR headset, such a creature would have been classified as an extreme threat, something that could only be defeated once the player had acquired powerful weapons and equipment. In his case, due to his inordinately high baseline, its name appeared green, indicating it wasn’t simply safe for him to hunt but that it would be easy.

’Sorry, Mr. Rodana, but it looks like this is the end of the line for you...’ mused Vahn, placing his binoculars into a leather pouch at his waist and leaping several tens of meters into the air with no effort. The wyvern was so accustomed to being the de facto ruler of the area and king of its skies that it didn’t even consider that something would attack it from above. As such, it barely had time to raise its head in confusion before Vahn drove a spear through its brain stem, pinning it to the muddy terrain and sending a wave of pressure outward, flattening and bowing the wetland’s tall grass and reeds for nearly fifty meters.

Reinforcing that they were in a virtual world, the Rodana forcefully pulled its head free, the spear phasing through its head and leaving a red fractal glow as it backed away, beating its wings and unleashing an ear-piercing roar to express its outrage. It then tried to expel balls of flame, but before it could, Vahn flung his spear like a javelin, leaving behind a golden streak that pierced the Rodana’s chest and exited from its back, causing it to fall limply to the ground. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Taking advantage of the Rodana’s Stunned state, Vahn leaped forward and positioned himself in front of its head with a giant hammer formed from the trunk of a large tree, bound by rope. It wasn’t his highest attack weapon, but it had a remarkably high chance of inflicting the Stun Status and dealt 300% increased damage to Stunned and Downed targets.

WHAM WHAM WHAM

Executing three attacks in less than a second, Vahn was unsurprised to see his weapon shatter into motes of red light, the result of its durability reaching 0%. At the same time, the Rodana went from lying limply with its tongue sticking out to performing overdramatic death throes with its body breaking down as if its interior were hollow and its outer shell formed from light. In its place, positioned atop a beige cloth to prevent it from sinking into the mud, were several spines from its tail, a large plate that appeared to be harvested from its back, neatly folded sheets of wing leather, and a row of fangs and talons arranged from largest to smallest.

Picking up one of the sixty-centimeter-long spines and inspecting it, Vahn was moderately surprised to learn it was poisonous. Poison was typically used by smaller monsters as a defense mechanism against predators, so he found it odd that such a large ambush predator would employ it.

’There must be something even bigger I haven’t met yet...’ deduced Vahn, glancing in the direction of the enormous tree that dominated the horizon. It practically demanded to be explored, but since it was more than 800km away and he was still in the process of investigating the points of interest around his and Lisanna’s base, it would likely be a while before he learned its secrets. For the time being, he needed to return as it had been nearly a full hour since he and Lisanna last made love, and he wanted to make the most of the time they had left...
