She had been on a cargo ship that Irellia had sent out to trade supplies with another cruiser's cargo vessel, and the vessel had been empty with no crew, but then all feeds had cut off, along with our visuals. Knowing what I did now about Irellia, it all made sense.
Still, after Tyson had scooped her up, there were more blank spots. From there she claimed to be blacked out until being put on the world I was the next game to meet with me, and ruin what was left of my life. I wasn't trying to hold that against her, but this was still far from a cut and dry case closed.
"I need some air," I said turning around and walking out of the room.
Chapter 232: [NETORARE SYSTEM] Activated!
I walked out of the room shaking my head in confusion. I couldn't make head or tails of what I just heard, and I needed to get some air, but I stopped myself and resigned myself to pace in the halls. I didn't need to be running away from my problems.
What were my options? I couldn't just send her off, her story wasn't that unbelievable, and part of me did feel bad for her. I just wish that I had a way to prove that she was telling the truth. I couldn't just take her at face value, but I was running in circles with this debate, I needed to get back in there.
"Dave, what a surprise to see you here!" An all too familiar female voice called to me from the direction of the elevator.
You have got to be fucking kidding me! I turned to see Irellia, of all people walking out. What the hell was going on, she was supposed to be in Universal Watch! What did this mean? Was she the same as the others, another puppet? After hearing Stephanie's story, I was not sure what I was supposed to think.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were in the other world?"
"I was transported here, and now MainFrame no longer holds my mind," Irellia said as she walked towards me.
I was almost ready to believe that this was a real change. I had my finger on the switch to turn the suspicions off. As Irellia walked closer to me, I let myself believe that it was all over for an entire heartbeat.
[WARNING]
[NETORARE SYSTEM] Activated!
[HAREM LEADER PROTOCOL] Activated!
[LIMITLESS REACH] Activated!
'Dave, this is a bad bitch to the core, fucking kill her. She broke ranks before MainFrame got his hooks into her. All the systems are a go, and Dragon Claw and been deactivated, don't hold back, she is still infected with Unlife. No one Betrays a Harem Leader and lives to brag about it!' -Dansei.
He sounded pissed, but I was calm a dead calm. I finally had my fucking answer. Power crackled off my body in static discharges, I had access to everything. Knowledge poured into me of things I had never heard of but I knew that I would need to use everything, not just to kill her, but for the benefit of the party.
I should have been furious, but as Irellia hissed and jumped back, I closed my eyes. If I would have got close enough to her after getting the system I would have known before, but I knew now, and that's what mattered. The power crackled like whips, and I reached to the side equipping the Thunder Plate armor, and then I pulled out the Hellfire Chakrams, one in each and throwing them at Irellia and starting to run at her pulling out the Caladine Greatsword.
"Aren't you going to scream and yell at me? You have always been such a spineless little worm!" Irellia screamed at me as she defected the chakrams, but I was already on her.
Unfortunately, her green-yellow snot and white bones armor that had grown to cover her body had stopped the killing blow, but she was still sent flying. Irellia bounced off two walls and then smashed into the floor, but I was on her again as she got up, stabbing two Force Sai at her stomach, and blowing her back to smash out the window at the end of the hall.
Dragon boots equip, I leapt out of the window and skated across the wind, chasing the retreating Irellia. I whip Faith Axes, one after the other, hammering her into the ground in a hail of destruction, but it still wasn't enough. Irellia was getting up as I hit her, releasing a thunderclap of force that sent Irellia flying into the air, and I threw weapons as fast as I could into the air after her.
It didn't matter if I hit her at this point, just using the weapons was the most important thing. Soon, I hit a block and I couldn't access any more weapons, but I still had the ones I had thrown into the air. I leapt after her with breakneck speed, I was firing on all cylinders now! I grabbed the Railgun and then grabbed the viper sword and slapped it into the launcher, then shooting it at Irellia.
She turned and blocked with glowing green and yellow blade, but the sword latched onto her. As she tried to shake it off I fired a Gravity Blade set to attract, that homed in on her the last things I fired at her were a Gamma and Displacer Fists, filled with Pigeon Stars.
As they shot out at her, the pigeon stars burst from inside the fist and homed in on the only target that was within range. She had no chance, everything hit her in waves, and I think she gave up at the last minute, because everything hit her at once, tearing her body apart, and I felt the power slowly start to leave me as I drifted to the ground.
I knew she had done me wrong, but I couldn't help feeling bad after seeing her give up in the end, but I had no regrets. The damage she had cause
Was inexcusable and I was just glad that it was all over, and this meant another thing. Stephanie was telling the truth, but I didn't know how to approach her.
Yes, she was a member, but I couldn't just take her into the bedroom, it felt like I would have to get to know her all over again. That might not be a bad thing, she was beautiful and we had shared that time together, and no part of me could deny how much I had loved her for those short months. I would just take it easy with her and see where things went, but I was going to be in some trouble with the hotel.
Plus, Branson was probably going to want a word with me about the hell I just rained down on the city, but I was honestly tired. Like physically tired, but was that even possible? The power overload must have caused some kind of reaction with my system to prevent physical exertion.
Oh well, I had wanted a bath anyways, but I would have some explaining to do when I got back, but that was fine. Still, the girls would have to wait until Stephanie and I had some alone time. My walk back to the hotel ended up being a long one, and I was seriously tired. Even in the elevator, I sat down as I waited to get to my floor.
When the elevator dinged, I got up and waited for the door to open. The hall was exactly how I left it and the big hole where the window had been. I sighed and turned back to the room where I had left the girls.
I knocked on the door, I had left my key inside, but the door flew open to a very angry Grace, but I was ready for any tongue lashing I would get. It was over, MainFrame couldn't pull any more fast ones on me. Grace looked ready to tear me a new asshole but stopped when she looked at my face.
"Dave? Are you okay? Is she gone?" Grace asked, looking over my shoulder.
"Yes, I killed her, and I don't know if she will be revived. I didn't use the Longinus Spear, but she gave up right at the end. I don't know if she will be able to revive in our next game. I would like to have a word with Stephanie if you girls don't mind."
None of the girls complained, but I hugged and kissed every girl passionately. This experience was something to teach me just how important these girls were to me. I never wanted to have to do this again, but none of this was Stephanie's fault. She was just another player in the game that was played.
I walked over to her, where she was still sitting nervously, and not looking at me. Any confidence that she had before, was now gone. I half expected for the system to go off again and force me to kill her too, but it didn't, and I knelt down in front of Stephaine. I took her hands in mine, squeezing them gently, forcing her to look into my eyes.
"I know now that you are telling the truth, and Stephanie, I am so sorry for everything that has happened to you. Words can't make the past different, but I want you to know that I want you in my life with the other girls."
"None of this is your
fault!" Stephanie protested, turning to me with tear-filled eyes.
"No, this was all my fault for not recognizing the problem sooner, but I am done kicking myself for the past, and so should you be," I stood up, still holding her hand, bringing her to her feet with me, and I stepped back, extending my hand. "Hi, I'm Dave."
She looked at my hand with confusion and then back up to me, but I just smiled. I had no idea what I was doing, but starting over felt like the only way I could really move forward with her. Slowly, but surely, Stephanie took my hand and shook it.
"Hi...I'm Stephanie…"
"It's okay, this will be weird, but I think we should start over, from the beginning, and try to relearn the things about each other."
"I think it's a good idea, but I'm just happy to finally be close to you again."
"Well, I would share my room with you, but I think we should take it slow, but I do still love you. I wanted to believe this with every part of my heart, and now that it's true, I don't ever want to lose you again!"
I leaned forwards and pulled Stephanie into a kiss. I could feel the hot tears pouring down her cheeks and onto mine. Finally, something is actually working out.
Chapter 233: Things Dreams Are Made Of And Actual Dreams
The rest of the night I went to sleep with the girls, while Latisha and Stephanie in my room. The girls still hadn't got a third room, so we were all crammed into the bed until I finally decided that I would sleep on the floor. I was surprised when Trinity joined me, laying down to face me, and getting under the blanket.
"Do you really think she has changed?" Trinity asked after a couple short kisses.
"Changed? I don't know if that is the right word for it. I do believe that she has gone back to the way she was before. I know that might seem hard to believe, but when Irellia got close to me just before, a bunch of systems activated. I was able to use all the weapons that it would allow me to."
"So that's why we couldn't leave the room? Every time each one of us tried to leave the room, we couldn't get near the door like some kind of hand was holding me back. Stephanie had even tried, but I still am having a hard time believing that she is just good now, no matter how much proof you have."
"Don't be like that, Irellia was bad to the bone, but they aren't all the same. MainFrame did this, he is the real enemy. Still, I do agree that I can't just let things with her go back like they were in Transport. I will take things slow with her, and we will watch her, just to make sure nothing happens, okay?"
"Mmmm, fine, but I want at least one orgasm before I go to sleep since I am being so reasonable and sleeping on the floor with you!" Trinity said with a pouty voice.
"I think I can accept your terms," I said, as I pulled her into a deep kiss.
I slid my hands down her back and pushed her body into mine, feeling the tips of her rock-hard nipples pressing into my chest. Trinity turned in my arm and then slipped her yellow panties, and then tucking back into me after I got my own clothes off. She slowly guided me into her already moist slit, and I had to put a hand over her mouth as it pushed deep inside of her.
Trinity bit down on the meaty part of my hand, between my thumb and forefinger, but then I sunk myself deeper inside of her. I felt her breathing start to get heavier, and then a tremor shook through her body, completing the bargain, but this was so far from over. I had a lot of pent-up stress from the last couple of hours and she wanted the dick, so she was getting it.
I had to take my hand out of her mouth and fully cover it as her moans started to get louder. I used my other hand to grab and hold her ass cheek to stop my hips from slapping against them. I drove my cock into her now soaking wet slit, then I stopped and made her put her face into the pillow we were sleeping on.
I pushed her back down and pulled her hips onto my throbbing cock. I could see the other girls all sleeping as I grabbed her cheeks and started to fuck her. I was kind of a turn-on to see the other girls on the bed sleeping as I fucked Trinity.
Some had exposed, but Grace was the one closest to me, and I could have sworn that I saw a small smirk on her face. I let my gaze travel down her large breasts and then between her legs. I could feel Trinity start to shake again, but I was having a hard time focusing on just Trinity.
Grace's panties were soaking wet, like dripping wet. There was no way she was asleep, and now Trinity was sliding off my still rock-hard cock. I looked at her as she turned her head, her face was red and panting.
"Four orgasms is enough, I can suck you off if you want," Trinity whispered to me breathily, but I shook my head and stood up.
I could clearly see a grin on Grace's face, and I suspected that she was peeking out and watching us. Grace was on the end of the bed, so I pushed her legs up and pulled aside her soaking panties. As I pushed myself deep into her wet and juicy pussy, Grace opened her eyes slowly turning her mouth into an oh shape, clearly holding back her moan.
"So, looks like I do get a turn after all," Grace whispered softly as I pushed myself into her, over and over, feeling her getting even wetter.
"I couldn't just leave you with these wet panties like this?"
I sunk deep and reached forward to grab Grace's breast, but Aquina was there grabbing my hand and pulling it between her legs. Wait, what? I looked over to see the other four girls, and they were already naked and waiting.
Holy shit! What had I just gotten myself into? Wasn't I just complaining about how tired I was? I wasn't going to stop now, as I heard and felt Aquina's squirting orgasm. I turned back to Grace who was now moaning openly, and she was grinning through her moans, so I slapped her ass, making her cry out faster and loud.
"Dave, please, more! I have been a bad girl and woke these girls upon you! Please punish me?" Grace begged, using her pouty voice, so I pulled out of her and pulled her up out of the bed.
Trinity was already moved, but I turned her around and bent her back over, giving her another couple of good slaps. Then I slammed into her hard, all the way in, and then grabbed her wrists and pulled her arms back, as I started to make her bounce on my cock. As I fucked her, the other girls lined up on either side of me, bet over the bed.
Trinity stood behind, running her hands across my chest and kissing my neck as I switched between the girls. I moved up and down the line like a printing machine, hammering the D in between of their wet lines. Finally, as Carly was screaming out, I felt the pressure build-up. Carly let out a gurgling cry as I filled her insides with my hot cum, pulling her deep onto my pulsing cock.
After pulling out of Carly, as she was still twitching uncontrollably, I fell onto the bed beside her and pulled her into my arms, and the other girls all crawled into the bed around us. We were going to have to do something about the bedrooms, and why did they only have one bed? Carly was still moaning softly and had small tremors that would still pulse from time to time, but I fell asleep to the feeling and sounds of naked girls sleeping around me.
----------
I was standing in front of a large group of people with cameras and tablets, and people were shouting out questions.
"Will Reborn be safe for the public to use?"
"Who will be able to play?"
"How much will this cost consumers?"
"Are there any side-effects from prolonged use?"
"How will people play the game?"
All these questions were being thrown at me, and I noticed that Hyde and some others were standing with me, two more guys and a black-haired girl. I felt like I should know their names, but nothing was coming to me, but then, my attention was drawn to a person in the crowd. It was an older man, but he had no camera or tablet, and he wasn't shouting like the rest of the people.
He was looking between me and my brother, then he shouted in a commanding tone.
"SILENCE!"
I was surprised to see how fast everyone quieted down, but then the man stepped forward, but so did Hyde.
"Reggy, what are you doing here? Come to say how we stole your game again
? The same one that killed hundreds of girls? I'm curious to know how they even let such a black sheep like you into here? More than likely slithered in, but the real question is, why aren't you in jail?" Hyde asked in a condescending tone.
"You brothers think you're funny? Just because you had my game to use as a template, you call yourself the creators? You stole my idea!" The man called Reggy raged.
Then I spoke up with no control.
"You can't keep trying to harass us like this! The worlds that I have built are far superior to anything in Second Life, and they aren't even close to the things that you tried to pass off as art. What I have built and my brother has helped me a fine-tune, along with the rest of the team, is something new, exciting, and for everyone!"
