Descend- Bursting Out: A litrpg adventure

by David Burke

  Huong chimed in right after her adding the words, “In bed.”

  When everyone looked at her she laughed her own little wicked laugh. “What didn’t any of you ever play that game. I know my family is Vietnamese but we still ate at this one Chinese buffet sometimes, when I was growing up. They gave out fortune cookies and the joke is that you add the words ‘in bed’ to whatever the fortune was and it made it funny.”

  They shared in laughter for a moment and Jay again felt lucky to have them in his life. But then he realized he needed to take charge. “The first idea that I have is about where we refine. So far we have been doing it at the tech division each day. But starting tomorrow I want to try refining on the fifth floor. Then if it works the way I hope, then potentially on the fourth floor also.”

  “Wait, before you go on could you please take off that crown?” Huong asked.

  Jay looked at her, confused. “Um… sure.”

  After Jay pulled off the crown, Huong said, “Thanks, it is hard enough to sit still and talk to you without drooling, that attraction bonus you get from the crown was killing me. No way I was gonna be able to focus on what you were saying.”

  Amelia slapped her arm then and said, “You slut, you’re incorrigible.”

  Huong just smiled back at her. “You know it.”

  Jay couldn’t do anything but shrug his shoulders and think to himself about how good life was. “So can I continue now?”

  Huong leaned in next to him and placed her hands on his thighs. “Please do now that I can think.”

  Jay could hear Amelia’s eyes rolling in her head but chose to just move on before this meeting got sidetracked. The bonds and fusions made communication so much different. They had all settled into the habit of letting each other speak their mind even if they already had a good idea of what the other was thinking. It was an unspoken agreement that they had. But now that he had expressed the idea he could feel them resonating with it and adding their own angles to the concept.

  He went on to explain, “This is based on a different way of thinking about things and may or may not work. At first when I began the refining process I expected it to be about absorbing the ambient energy around us and then storing that in the body or using it to make changes. But, as has been pointed out multiple times in response to my nerdiness, we are not living in a cultivation novel.

  “Further study revealed that our channels are a closed system. Energy can leave them to create the effects of our powers on the world around us. In fact each of us leaks a small amount of our power into the area around us, whenever our PSI is fully charged. Again, maybe this sounds like nerd mumbo jumbo but it is quite different from what I was expecting. It is almost as though we are the source of energy in the universe. But anyway, I digress.

  “I realized that it is possible for energy from outside to have an effect on us that is in fact what I am doing when I refine someone. I am using my energy to affect them from the outside. It requires that they allow me to. So far we have been fortunate and there aren’t any examples of people using their powers to affect others who were unwilling, with the obvious exception of Jasmine. But even she was affecting moods and not directly changing a body or directly acting on our channels.”

  “Okay, I get that but what makes you think that there is some way to use the harsh environments from the other floor to our benefit then?” Mia asked.

  “Simple, seeing how Zuri’s power worked. She has the ability to absorb one type of energy and convert it to another. The fifth floor is full of heat and my guess is that she can convert that to energy. If she can learn to convert it directly to PSI energy then it is my theory she can help me to produce more dramatic changes in the people I am refining. Either way though, I believe that refining in a harsh environment without the protection of our armor and crystals will make us stronger,” Jay replied.

  “So you will need Zuri’s help?” Jessie asked.

  “Unless someone else can duplicate her power, although who knows what we might be able to figure out. I will also want Alexis to help out at first. I am learning how to sense PSI activations and so forth, but I don’t have near the precision she has,” Jay replied.

  Ava raised her hand and wiggled back and forth in her seat like a toddler who had to pee.

  Jay looked at her with another shoulder shrug. “You have my permission to speak without raising your hand, Ava.”

  “Yes, Master. I was just thinking that there is a way that you could get all the powers that you want, if our theory about intent is correct,” she said in a rush.

  Jay closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Before he could say anything more, Ava was sitting on his lap and saying, “Don’t be mad, Master. I just want what is best for you. If you are the strongest there is, it can only help all of us. And you know how I like it when you show me how strong you are.”

  Just when Jay thought things were about to get completely out of control, Jessie yanked him up off the ground and sent Ava sprawling. “Tonight’s my night. I will send him to find you and Huong as soon as the sun is up.”

  As he was walking to the cabin rented for him and Jessie along with whoever from her pod she intended to include, he realized that he had never gotten to share his other idea about changes he could make with refining. One look at Jessie’s face flushed with excitement and he told himself it would wait for tomorrow. For now it looked like he was about to have a very fun night.

  Chapter 8- Good Morning, Vietnam

  The next morning all that Jay could think was, “Wow” with a capital ‘W’. Jessie and her pod showed why they are the most physical of teams. He didn’t think he had ever been as glad for his enhanced stamina as last night. If he slept more than an hour in the last twelve hours he would be shocked.

  He was actually tempted to use a very short tempus fugit field just to get some sleep. Yet as appealing as that was, messing with the continuity of time for a nap was probably not a good idea. Besides, the nervous rush of what was about to happen was enough to keep him awake.

  He had fused three times before this. Twice had been accidents and even if a part of him had wanted the last time with Amelia to happen it was still essentially an accident too. The results of that time were part of what had scared him off from doing more fusions. He had kept his own body but each of the girls had been switched around and it took weeks for that to be sorted out. Mia still gave Amelia crap about the fact that the petite blond had avoided almost the entire pregnancy with its associated cramps and so on.

  Now, though he was going into this with his eyes open. It was his choice, his will that this would happen. Yes, the girls pushed him for it, but ultimately he had the power to make the decision.

  That as much as anything was something he learned over the past four months. He might end up doing what the girls wanted most of the time, but that didn’t take away from his freedom. Jay liked doing things that pleased them. There was a fulfillment that he drew out of it, but ultimately the decision was his and that made all the difference.

  The wives had all argued telepathically at different points during the night that he needed to allow them to be there when Huong was fused. It was more than a little disconcerting to hear the voice of another woman in his mind while doing the things he was with Jessie and the girls in her pod.

  Actually, disconcerting didn’t do justice to the sensation. Watching a gorgeous beauty riding you like you were a prize racehorse and she was a jockey aiming to win the Triple Crown with the finish line just a few heartbeats away only to then hear one of your wives sweetly asking how you were doing, was in a word, terrifying. Jay was fairly certain that they were doing it on purpose, trying to catch him at his most vulnerable. They tried to find a time when he would give in to their requests.

  Now though he was meeting Huong at the cabin that she had rented for the night. He waited outside when he got there and notified her telepathically. After a few minutes he saw a line of sleepy girls from her pod stumbling out of the cabin. A c
ouple gave him dirty looks at him for being the reason they were kicked out of bed so early. Others giggled at him, obviously aware of what was about to happen.

  The girls he was most pleased to see when they walked out were his children’s mothers. Nalani, Sofia, and even Veronica all gave him kisses and let him take a minute or two to hold each of his daughters. So far with thirteen kids he still remembered each of his kids' names but feared the day when that wasn’t the case anymore. Veronica wasn’t just carrying her own daughter, Christina, but also Huong’s daughter, Hua.

  Who would have guessed that these little bundles of joy could compete with their hot mothers for his attention? Maybe he was actually growing up. That thought made him laugh. So much change had been pushed onto him lately. What was a little more?

  Besides, each of his daughters squealed in delight as he gently tossed them up and then caught them. They were all nearly the equivalent of an eight-month-old back on Earth would have been. Crawling, jabbering sounds, and communicating far better telepathically than he would have expected were just par for the course.

  Their communication was more primitive. An expression of emotion and need rather than actual words, but they definitely all recognized him. The telepathic equivalent of daddy had greeted him from each of them, and the emotion was one of joy at seeing him and delight when he focused on them. Still they all accepted when he handed them back to their mothers. Whether it was an evolutionary change or the result of the relatively hard life they lived here, but either way none of the children were prone to crying. Maybe it was just that they could express themselves better than normal infants their age due to the telepathy.

  When Jay walked inside, he found Huong sitting on one of the beds, her legs tucked underneath her and a flimsy nightgown the only thing covering her. These cabins weren’t that large but he had continually resisted spending extra credits to buy permanent houses. The tech division ended up using most of the credits that they could farm from the slime ruins. Well that and the staggering cost of birth control even with the discount.

  “Good morning, Huong,” Jay said, suddenly nervous. She was gorgeous and he really did care about her. Months later he was still taken back sometimes by all of this.

  “It is a good morning, husband,” she replied with a smile and raised her hand to very intentionally beckon him over with one finger.

  As he walked over to the bed, he said, “I want you to know that if you get scared at any point we don’t have to move forward with the fusion, but I am truly excited for this. It is the first time that we are actually choosing to do this. This won’t be an accident. It will be because we have chosen to fully share ourselves with each other.”

  “Oh, I know. I have been up since the middle of the night thinking about how lucky I am to be the first one you have consciously chosen to share yourself with like this,” she replied before tugging him onto the bed next to her. Huong might be among the physically weakest of his wives, but she was still thirty-five times stronger than she would have been on Earth, which was more than enough to pull him forward if he wasn’t resisting.

  He made sure to control his fall so as not to land too much of his weight directly onto her. She only whispered in his ear as she ran her hands under his shirt, “I’m not that fragile.”

  Their lips locked and for a moment all thoughts of fusions, alien abductors, and endless responsibilities were lost. They were simply a man and a woman in love and showing it in the most basic way possible. Deep passionate kisses worked in rhythm with hands that wandered over each other. Simple joy in being together gave way to a heated passion.

  All around them Jay noticed vines sprouting up, not to bind him like the first time they had been together but rather to weave a spacious cocoon around them which gave them their own little private world. Just as artfully, Huong removed his clothing one piece at a time and still managed to present herself for him to undress her. He knew exactly what waited for him underneath and yet he still couldn’t wait to see her bared before him.

  His hands caressed her back and they kissed. Then his mouth moved down her to that special crook where her shoulder met her neck even as his hands slid around her and cupped her breasts. They still were now slightly larger than Meikiyo’s but still small for his wives, but becoming milk factories had benefits, even if Jay didn’t particularly care for the idea of putting his mouth on them while they were still producing.

  It had the desired effect though as she moaned in pleasure at having her breasts cupped and those sensitive nipples stimulated. Jay was enjoying getting this reaction from her because Huong usually wanted to focus on his pleasure. It wasn’t that she didn’t always get what she needed from him, just that in her own way she was like Ava and seemed fixated on making sure he enjoyed himself.

  So it was a rare treat for him that he got to focus on pleasuring her. The taste of her skin, the sound of her soft moans, and the sensation of her nipples responding to his touch was a thrill for him. When he started to move one of his hands down she moaned, “No, don’t stop.”

  What the lady wanted, the lady would get. He continued stimulating her nipples as he caressed her breasts. His mouth ranged from her lips to her ears, down to her neck and then up under her chin. He felt her trembling already as she breathily whispered, “God you haven’t touched the girls very much lately. I swear I can get there just from this.”

  Jay hadn’t even realized that was possible, but he took it as a challenge. He pushed out with his evolved sensual projections while his hands continued to stimulate her. Through the bond he felt the way she liked to be touched best. It wasn’t as complete a link as a fusion gave, not by a long shot, but that wouldn’t be an issue for much longer.

  Less than another minute into his ministrations, she began to shudder. By that point she didn’t resist when he rolled from his side next to her onto her and parted her legs with his knees. Her wetness was so great that even as she contracted in her first orgasm, he was able to push his shaft into her in one stroke.

  Then she went wild with passion as she pulled at his back and tried to suck his tongue out of his mouth even while her pussy spasmed wildly on his cock. He could feel the moment when she came down from that first orgasm. Equally he sensed when she erupted into another orgasm a second later.

  He was almost so lost in the passion of thrusting into her that he didn’t feel her push against him. But it quickly became apparent that she wanted him to roll over again.

  “Is something wrong?”

  She grinned at him as she said, “God no, that was amazing. Thanks for that, but I have something I want to do.” Without any more words, she began kissing her way down his pecs, then over the chiseled abs that no normal human could hope to have.

  Jay knew her intention but said, “I don’t know if that will work for the fusion. In the past it has always occurred when we were both lost deeply in cumming together.”

  “Oh don’t worry, I can find many ways to cum during this. Hell, sometimes, just having you in my mouth is enough to make me want to,” Huong said.

  “But I want to be in you,” Jay protested somewhat weakly.

  “After you cross the next threshold you better get used to this. You are either gonna be cumming in a lot of mouths or making many more babies. Most of the girls don’t share Ava’s proclivity for backdoor activities. Besides, I like tasting myself on you.”

  Jay couldn’t resist the appeal in her eyes and so let her do what she wanted. Before he knew it those soft lips and warm breath were down to his cock and then engulfed him. Any thought of wanting something different fled his mind and he felt her take him in inch by inch.

  The guttural moaning sounds she made, “Gggmm” only drove his excitement higher. His girth had continued to grow with his height as he had passed the various thresholds, but many of the girls had powers which enabled them to handle him much better than he would have expected. None of them were as good as Huong though.

  Part of it was how passionate she
was about making sure he enjoyed it and part of it was the raw pleasure that he couldn’t help but feel. Fucking was better but sometimes just lying back and enjoying had an appeal all its own. Huong was a master at drawing him right up to the point of no return but not crossing it.

  She varied her pace from a slow meandering to a frantic race that felt like she needed him in her mouth more than she needed water or air. Her suction varied from a gentle suckling with soft licks to an urgent life-draining demand. With that she threw in just the right amount of head bobbing and soft hands running over his shaft or balls.

  Best of all was the way that she could somehow manage to fit his entirety into her mouth until her nose was pressed up against the bottom of his lower abs. Then the real magic began. He didn’t know how she did it. Maybe it was her Fibrous Form power but her throat could massage him like a set of small hands moving up and down his shaft. The tight warmth and wetness only pushed him closer to the edge.
