The Tigerman was being circled by the last three, ignoring me altogether. Oh, boy, time to spank some stupid fish!
Chapter 139: Worth Less Then You
[Charged Fire Arm Sprint]
I wasn't sure what this would do precisely, but I had a rough idea when I felt the shot of adrenaline hit me like a kick in the ass. I started to sprint at a breakneck speed that only my dialed up Frogfish brian allowed me to prevent me from tripping on my own feet. I did a lap and then another before the three had time to turn, and then I backed off to watch my handy work.
Red coral grew where I had run, and the fine hairs started to grow. The three had turned now, but it was too late, Tigerman kick the first Sharkman into the coral from behind, and he became caught in the coral. The thing let out a screaming roar if that's what it could be called, as the coral hairs caused the skin to raise up.
Abruptly the transparent hairs went black and stabbed into Sharkman, and he stopped moving, and the hairs drained of color, letting go of the boy. The other had turned to watch, and even the cat had frozen; unfortunately, Sharkman two and Ottoman had ignored the growing hair that now surrounded them. The hair didn't even try to grab them, instead of turning black and stabbing into them as the last two tried to fight them off.
Within seconds they fell lifelessly to the ground, and it only took moments longer for the coral to shrivel up and crumble away. I walked forward slowly; eyes lock with the Tigerman; something was off about him, but not in a bad way. I couldn't explain the feeling other than some sort of kinship to him for some unknown reason.
"So Mr. Cat, what's the plan here? We going to fight or... Play cards? I don't have any pockets, so you're going to have to pony up on the cards. Maybe ask the lovely lady down there if she has any and if she would like to join?"
"I have no idea what to call you, but you're different."
"You're not just saying that because I look like the north end of a male hippo going south, right?"
"A sense of humor that isn't gear towards some kind of combat advantage? Who are you, boy?"
Woah, hold on, Tiger! When I was a kid, I came in like twelve or so lifetimes ago, but don't talk to me like I'm worth less than you. My name is Dave, and I came in here thinking this would be the best time of my life, but no, guess what I've done for the last twelve lifetimes?"
"Dave? Like Hare..."
"Don't, I expect more out of you, even though I have only met you. I may get to have fun with my girls, but I have spent everyone one of my lifetimes, except for one rescuing women that now I find out are lined up to be chucked into my game to be rescued and elevated to godship."
"You didn't know? What Genre did you pick when you came into the game?"
"There is that word again, Genre. A spiteful god cheating wiped me to beat me down and locked me in a hell world with no memory of the game or any of my previous lives. Only recently have I really been getting them and my old personality back. As far as I know, Simon never offered me a choice when I came in, and I know I have never heard of a genre, but I feel like I should remember it from my life before the game."
"Simon was the one that did your orientation, not Mr. Keys?"
"Stop!"
"What?"
"Dangerous water."
The Tigerman paused, deep in thought, so I looked around, hoping he would understand what I meant. If Simon wasn't in charge of orientation, then why did he do mine? My eyes fell on the clear shield bubble, and the girl was now at the transparent wall, staring at me with a puzzled look.
I didn't want a mirror right now, and the fact that she could stand the sight of this mismatched body. Finally, the Tigerman spoke up, drawing my gaze back to him from the fish girl.
"I'm Greg."
"Where are you!"
"What? Wait, you mean in The Watch?"
"Yup, now! Don't fuck around, then I kicking you out."
"Wait; what? Why? I'm on an asteroid, watching the Unlife."
"Not anymore. Get to Xeno and get ahold of Dresnal, an Oceana when you get there, so I know you have arrived. You either beat me there or meet me there, understand?"
"Yes, but why are you acting like..."
[Stone Jet Venom Sting]: 2/3
I didn't let him finish speaking; man, am I really the only person that understands what the fuck is going on? This mess was starting to get stressful, and now I had to be an asshole and order Greg around, or all our talk might be picked up and linked back to Simon and then me. Boom, then this shit is all over, sitting on ice until I get dumped as useless data.
I signed and watched the still stand; hmmm? Was she the one that had put it up? Well, if I had a spare minute, let's pop the sheet open and try the button again, but I noticed a neat handly feature at the top of mating skills. I toggled a minimize arrow, and my screen became manageable again; I opened the blinking option and burst with light.
[{Unified Evolution Activated}]
Oh man, I didn't even have to look this time; I could feel that my body was more or less humanoid again. The light stopped, and I marveled at my new sleek and toned body. I could feel a tail and my favorite underwater breathing apparatus clenching, my body black and dark blue with white hands.
I put my hands to my head, and my face felt normal, but now I had a pair of horns eight centimeters long coming from my forehead. I also now had long blueish black hair that I pushed out of my face, but that's when I smelt it. I turned to see the naked Fishwoman walking to me, no longer in her bubble.
Chapter 140: Global Destruction
"Looks like you the one to come out on top this time."
My intoxicating prize walked over to me and ran a hand down my chest, making my own excitement spike so much it caused her arm to go limp and fall off me, as her face start to heat up. I gritted my teeth for a moment to get ahold of my sexual urges; I wanted to get some information out of her before I fucked her into some sort of weapon, man this was weird.
"It's a bad habit of mine, and I have this problem with being second."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, you see, the problem with coming in second is, you're always the first person to lose, hehe!"
Even though I had tried to lighten up the mood, her breathing had become heavy now, and I was having trouble keeping my thoughts on what I wanted to ask. She started to move toward me with a lost look on her face, and I could see her juices dripping down her legs; holy fuck, so much for questions.
"Come here then...what's your name?"
"Aquina, who are you?"
Aquina came over and pushed her breasts with light blue scales covering the sides of them into my bare chest and then wrapped her arms around my neck. I let her pull me down into a kiss, but my body demanded more, and I gripped her ass in both of my hands, lifting her as I straightened. She started to kiss me more demanding as she leaned forward. I freed a hand, guiding myself to her dripping slit as I could felt Aquina's heart-pounding through her chest, making me even more turned on.
"Call me whatever you want."
As my tip brushed her wet lips, her body trembled, and she moaned into my mouth as I felt her juices drip down my pulsing rod. I pushed myself into her and felt her lips slowly swallowed me, causing Aquina to pull away from my mouth to let out loud moans until I was fully inside of her. She tried to kiss me again, but she was going to need her air.
I started to move, and Aquina started to pant and moan, pulling her head back from my lips she was trying to kiss. A first, it was excellent, and Aquina was becoming louder and louder, but then something happened, and we both lost the momentum we had built.
I again tried to do it standing up with her, but It wasn't hitting the right spot for either of us. I lifted her off me mid-stroke, causing her to squirt her juices on me. As she shook, I turned her around, watching the juices still leaking down her legs, but kept her arms behind her back as I entered her. I had a far better grip this time, hold her wrist behind her back while pulling one of her hair to force her body into mi
ne, covering me in her squirt.
I speed up at the end and then gushed into Aquina, making her cry out in ecstasy with an arched back as her body shook. Even though I was still inside of her, I could feel the juices being sucked up inside of her, and I could even see the splashes coming back from the sand like a reversal of time. Suddenly, Aquina started to glow bright and time slowed, and a message popped up.
Evolution Armament Choice:{Epic}
{Sword}{KuniaX5}{Pistol}
Dammit, all the good ones on the same page! Kunia would be fun, but not really practical for me, maybe if I had time to learn them. Then there was the Sword and the Pistol, and I seem to remember something about not bring a sword to a gunfight unless you were some overpowered anime main character.
{Pistol}
//Congratulations on crafting your first epic weapon! [Aquina] replaces your old weapon in your single weapons slot
The light faded, but Aquina was now a gun in my hand, and I was...not underwater anymore. I stood in the middle of a desert, with nothing but sandhills surrounding me. Really? I was just in the deep of the ocean, and now Im in the desert?
"So, what do you think so far?"
I whipped around with my gun up and pointed at Simon's head. This threat didn't bother him at all, and he came over to sit down on a bench behind me and patted the seat for me to sit down. I complied and put my gun on the seat beside me, but then it snapped onto the side of my hip's skin like a magnet; that was handy.
"So, oh great, Simon, what do I owe you for the pleasure of having you bless me with your presence?"
"You know, I remember a Dave that used to be a lot more fun. What happened to that guy?"
"Oh, him? You mean the guy you have been lying to this entire time and kept me in the dark while you fed me, women. Now before you give me excuses, I get it; they need my help, but what I don't understand is all the cloak and dagger when everyone else knows?"
"Okay, I wish you had some more patience, but I can't expect much more with the way in have been treating you over this," Simon left out a sigh and then continued. "I had to have an excuse to train and orient you myself; that was the only way I could make these talks possible. There is no one else on this server or any of them I can talk to without a Game Master knowing."
"So, what does that have to do with me and being left in the dark?"
"The only way I could convince them is to keep you in the dark and convince you that you were playing the hero and saving all these Lost Souls. I needed time to figure out how the other games work; as you know, I am in charge of the Mini-Games, but I do not create them. In two to three games, I should have something figured out to help you help me stop this all."
"Stop it all? Like reborn?"
"Not the game itself, but I want to disconnect it from my world so the real world cant watch or access it, and then I want to come in. The company Reborn is destroying our world Dave, and it's only a matter of time before the world shuts down. It's already started to happen, people are starting to fight back, and I think in less than six months, we could be looking at wars and global destruction."
Chapter 141: The Code Part 1
"So, I didn't just come here to make fun of you and only tell you how the world is going to end, hehe. No, we have a lot to talk about, and I saved up a bit of time, so don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't, then I might get worried, hehe!"
"You are way too jovial for this kind of talk, Simon, but alright, spill the beans; what news do you have about our existential crisis?"
"Okay, there are a couple of things, but I'll start with the best part, The Code."
"Well, don't get all dark and mysterious with me, Simon. Just tell me what this 'Code' is."
"I told you, we have time, stop being so damn impatient! Do you know what I do while your out cavorting with women? I work on this problem; Dave, I haven't left the office since you went in! I have a cot set up in the room I work in, and I catch a few hours where I can, but I am always working on this problem, so cut me some slack if I want to be dramatic or conversational, just humor me."
I had never really thought about that; I was too caught up in my own worries. I still wasn't sure about Simon and this all, but if he is telling the truth, then whatever he has planned might decide the span of our infinite life cycle. Simon was right, though, and I really did need to give him a break and humor him.
As far as I could tell and from what I had gathered from the people I had talked to, no one but me was talking with Simon. I was in my own separate orientation that was even separate from Serina, but she had never said anything about it. Maybe that was part of the things she couldn't tell me about in the past, masked behind God-given knowledge that couldn't be revealed.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Oh, so now you believe me?"
"Give me a break Simon, you have been lying to me this entire time, hell everyone has, but I get it now."
"Well, I guess that is a fair point, okay, back to The Code; it is something I have been picking at for a while now, but only just got my hands on a rough copy of it. The Code is a special access key of sorts given to Game-Masters, allowing them to move between and enter any games. On top of that, they have the ability to unfreeze players, and The Code prevents them from being frozen."
"Are you kidding me? That's great, Simon! Load me upright know with that bad boy!"
"Haha, if it was only that easy. The Code Tequila helped me pull was from MainFrames trash; it was one of the original codes and far out of date. Now I am updating it and changing some things, important things you will need if you are going to defeat MainFrame."
"MainFrame? Is that the thing that bleeps us when I get naked and fight with my clothes off?"
"MainFrame the main part of that other system, but it does so much more. Not only does it help keep most unwanted hackers out, but it also distributes all the feeds and monitors them. Not just in the game either; the room I need to get to is monitored by MainFrame here in the real world. I partially think MainFrame might be more than a studios A.I."
"Meaning what?"
"That MainFrame is being controlled from the inside by all the heads of the company. Even before you left, Since Reborn has come online, we have nothing but conference calls with Mr. Datum over video calls."
"I'm missing the point here. If The Founders are in the game, then they won't let the game die, right?"
"You are right about that, but remember The Code! What happens when they come out of the mainframe and start imposing their will on everyone? What will we do?"
"Why haven't they done it already?"
"They need the world to end first. If The Founders show their hand now, the world will see, and things might change, but as the world knows it, Reborn is trying to help save it. Instead, they are leaving it to rot; I found out just before I came in that Reborn has seized control of over fifteen thousand nukes across the world. Do you know what that means?"
"So, they are going to destroy the world?"
"Yeah, and then launch us into space to float around the barren earth with solar power, a crew of self-repairing droids, and others that can be controlled from inside the game by MainFrame. We have to get MainFrame out of the game before we leave in two months; the average game takes six to ten days my time, so that means you have at least six more games."
"And after that? If we fail?"
"Don't be stupid, Dave, or just give up now. I need you one-hundred percent with me on this, do you understand? There is no room in this plan for doubt; there are over five million souls on ice right now that are going to turn into five million slaves."
Alright, I get it. We will do this then, no doubt, but now I need you to tell me how this Code you have will help me accomplish it. The problem keeps getting bigger and bigger every time you come to see me."
"HA! Tell me about it, do you know how long it's been since we last talked? Five minutes, I had just stepped into the lunchroom for coffee and walked back. Now imagine watchin
g you live half of one of these lifetimes, waiting for you to hit a point that I could talk to you."
"It's just hard to believe that this is all happening."
"Well, I might be able to help with that. Another reason I came in was to show you this footage I was able to sneak in."
"Footage? of what?"
"Of the world, or what's left of it."
Chapter 142: Easy For You To Say
The world was in chaos.
