Then I turned and looked out over the crowd to all the people watching. This was personal to me, but I didn't know why, but it was something to do with Second Life...I had lost someone. I didn't know who, but it was one of the hundreds of girls that got stuck inside the game and died.
After looking out at the crowd, I started to speak again.
"Reborn will be without the negative side effects of dying. Unlike the system YOU CREATED, this one I created uses a person's brain to overclock the brain's rate to essentially slow down time dramatically while in the game. When inside Reborn, players will experience a time difference of five minutes in the real world that will equal three years in-game. In a single hour, you will be able to experience sixty years of the game worlds, more than enough time to complete all the game world, but if you don't finish, you will be booted out at the one-hour mark and the game will reset. No one will have to die again."
Hot tears burned down my face, and I could hardly believe the words that had just come out of my mouth. I was the one who created Reborn, and something went wrong. Sixty years had long passed, and the game had already been reset, so why were we all still here? I had to assume the other three were the other Harem Leaders, and they had come in with us.
"Mark my word, Kline brothers! I will make you pay!"
That was the last part of the dream, and then I was awake. The dream didn't wash away, and now I knew for sure who MainFrame was Reggy, or Reginold, creator of Second Life. A Game that killed hundreds from locking them into a game...hundreds of girls!
Chapter 234: Enjoys Sex
I kissed Carly and then slid out of bed, It was already well into the morning, but the girls were still all sleeping soundly. I stood up and then looked back at all the naked girls cuddled together. All the girls were converging on Carly to fill the gap that I had left, and I was seriously concerned that she might get smothered by Grace's breasts, but then I saw her turn her head right away gasping out for air, but then fell back to sleep.
It was a cute scene, but I pulled my pants on, then my shirt, leaving the girls to sleep more. I turned once I was out of the door and I headed to see Latisha and Stephanie, I wasn't sure if they would be awake. Still, they wouldn't mind if I woke them up, and I wanted to talk to the two of them alone. None of the other girls with me had been with me during Transport, so I wanted to see what Latisha thought of my choice.
I knocked on the door, and Stephanie greeted me with a warm smile when she opened the door. My heart skipped a beat, remembering that smile, she also had her hair down. I was frozen for a moment, but then my senses fell back into place, and I smiled back. It was hard for me not just to pull her into a deep kiss, my body ached for it, but my head still told me to be careful.
"Did you have a good sleep? I do like your hair down like this, but it covers so much of your pretty face!" I said jokingly, but Stephanie started to blush and look down.
"I didn't want to remind you of when...I was Cindy. It still feels weird to think of myself as another person that I didn't have control of. The worst part is that I was conscious the entire time, stuck behind eyes, forced to watch and feel every moment…"
Stephanie backed into the room as she trailed off, and I saw Latisha sitting on the bed with a small gentle smile. I knew what she was referring to, the time we had spent together in that small apartment together, and all the time that we spent in the bedroom over those three months. My mind swam with the times, but Latisha spoke up to shake me free of my revelry.
"Are you okay, Dave?"
I moved forward and took Stephanie's hand, bringing her over to the bed to sit between me and Latisha. I took a deep breath and then spoke.
"How do you feel about my choice to trust Stephanie? I know it's weird to ask you with her here, but I think I already know what the answer is to my question."
"I think you made the right choice, and the rest of the girls will think so in time, Trinity may be the hardest to crack though. She was pretty worked up yesterday, and she didn't look like she wanted you to trust Steph," Latisha said with a tired look.
"Don't worry, I convinced her to give Stephanie a chance! She is still on the fence, but I think I convinced her!"
"Oh? That's what you were doing last night so loudly? You sounded like you convinced all six girls! Well, except for Carly, Stephanie was worried something was wrong and that we should go check on you, but I explained to her about...the way Carly, erhmn, enjoys sex," Latisha said with her dark skin burning.
Stephanie was blushing furiously as well, and the pair of them looked super cute, and part of me wanted to just say fuck it and jump both the girls. I was a horrible person, but that didn't change how I felt, but banging at the door interrupted that thought. Stephanie hopped up to grab the door, so I leaned over and pulled Latisha in for a quick kiss.
"Did you have a good sleep last night? You guys do some good talking and such?" I whispered to Latisha as Stephanie answered the door.
"Yes, and thank you for giving her a chance. It means a lot to me, and maybe later I can show you how much I appreciate it. Also, When the girls were moaning, I caught Stephanie facing to the side with her eyes closed. She was touching herself and I could see the wet marks on her panties from where she was getting wet. I know you want to wait and take your time with her, but I think you should consider how she might feel, plus, you could always bring Grace along to help punish her if that's what you want. Honestly, I don't think Steph would mind, I think she likes that kind of thing!" Latisha whispered to me just before the girls walked in.
Great, cause I wasn't already turned on enough, and now all the girls were here! I wasn't about to start a marathon or I would never get anything done today! Still, Latisha might have a point, plus, if she was going to give me a treat later, I could hold off till then, she was always worth the wait.
"Dave? Are you ready to go? There are still there towers left, are you just going to sit around all day long?" Grace asked.
"I was already up, you are the ones that just got up! Plus, I am ready to go, so let's go!"
"Well, I do have a couple of other things I need to do before we leave, but the rest of the girls are ready so I will meet you downstairs in the lobby. While you're down there waiting, do you mind getting us more rooms, at least two more? Last night was fun, but I don't think you want to do that every night!" Grace said as she walked back out and let the door close itself.
Stephanie came back and sat on the other side of me, putting me in between the two girls. My mind was still buzzing from what Latisha had just told me. Damn that woman, now I had to sleep with her; the thought of her having to masturbate to the sound of my having sex was beyond sad, Fine, whatever, I would get it done at some point today, or tomorrow, making plans for something like this was always a recipe for disaster and to not get what you wanted.
Latisha was grinning, and Stephanie was giving us a strange look. I just smiled at her, and then kissed her. Stephanie fell into the kiss, and it ended up being a lot more passionate than I intended, but she was probably tired of being alone. I felt Latisha get off the bed and then I heard the door open and close behind me.
I took her into my arms, holding Stephanie close to me as we kissed, and I could feel hot tears coming from her eyes. Even after the kiss ended, I held her quietly close to me, and she cried softly. I stroked her hair, and let herself get it all out until she finally pulled away, wiping her face off.
"Thank you, Dave. The girls are all so lucky to have you, and I am so sorry for what I had to do to you. I know you shouldn't trust me, but I love that you're willing to try and give me a chance. I can't promise that MainFrame won't try to take over my mind again if he comes back, I'm sorry."
I took her back into my arms and gave her a squeeze and then kissed the top of her head.
"I know, but now I know what is going on and I can watch to make sure nothing changes. I won't let him take you again, MainFrame was only able to do that because I didn't see it happen, and I won't le
t that happen again, I promise."
I let go of her and we both stood up and left the room. All the girls were in the hallway waiting, even Grace was ready to go. Trinity glared at me, but then yipped and jumped as Kierra pinched her bottom.
"Everyone ready to go? We have some towers to take care of, and two more girls to rescue!"
The girls all nodded and smiled, then we all loaded into the elevator. The ride down was tight, and I tried to imagine what it would be like if there was one more in here. Stephanie stayed close to my side, but that made Trinity glue herself to my other arm.
I sighed, this was going to be an interesting day. Once we were back down in the lobby, I went over to the counter and purchased two more rooms. Turns out, this hotel only had single rooms, and I was about to ask myself who's dumb idea it was to build a hotel with only one bed in each room, but then I remembered who was the father of all dumb ideas in Reborn.
That was going to take some getting used to, and I felt a lot of cursing my own name coming in the future. Still, how was I supposed to tell the girls, or should I?
'Don't yet, wait until you know more about why we are here and why you are, please?' -Tequila.
'Sure, Mom. Is there something that I don't know about yet?'
'There are many things that you still need to figure out, but it's better if you do them on your own.' Tequila.
Chapter 235: Who are you?
I finished at the desk and then rejoined the girls as we walked out of the hotel. The moment we walked around the corner, we were surrounded by black SUV's and men with guns poured out. My Dragons Claws were already forming, but there were just too many of them, still, I wasn't completely out of options…
"Wait! Men, guns down!"
A tall man that looked almost identical to Branson walked up to me with his hand's op and with no weapon. I drop the claws and let them absorb back into me. The man wore a black suit but not sunglasses like the others.
"Sorry about all this, the boss just wants to talk to you, ya know? By the way, names Frances, and if you just come with us the mayor will meet with you and save you from tearing up his city anymore. Look, we even brought you a limo to fit you like a group in one car, come on bro, you know Branson, he doesn't like what I do, but it is what it is. So, do me the world's biggest and just come for a talk?"
"I guess being asked to come feels better than at gunpoint. Fine, we planned on heading there anyway, so a free ride doesn't sound bad. Skipping the towers will just be the cream filling."
I watched all the girls, but Stephanie stayed the closest to me shaking a bit. There wasn't a lot I could do other than summoning a MAS, but that would take time, something I was short on, but at the same time, this is what we wanted. I took Stephanie and Trinity's hands to help them into the car and then each girl after that until everyone was inside, then I joined them.
The trip to the towers was quiet and very short, but we entered a parking garage under the building, and then pulled up to an elevator. The place was all concrete and we all got out and headed to the elevator doors, the only thing to break from the white-grey walls, ceiling, and floors. Frances had got in the back and sat beside me, but he hadn't spoken the entire time.
Now, we were in the elevator, but only Frances was in here with us. Either he was a lot more thought than his brother or there was something I didn't know about, like a feature to stop us from escaping. Not that it mattered, the trip was sort and we were walking out into...a beach?
Seagulls cried, and I could smell the salty sea, and hear and see the waves crashing up onto the beach in front of me. There was a man standing alone, and Frances went over to talk to him. They were more than out of earshot, and I turned to the girls.
"So can you eight handle Frances? There is something weird about these things over there, it doesn't seem real like it's a robot or something, I don't know why I can sense the wrongness of the thing, but I will deal with him."
"We will deal with Frances, you figure out the other one, but be careful!" Grace told me.
'TDM, do you know any tricks?'
'What do you mean?' -TDM.
'I don't know, something to defeat the undefeatable?'
'What is undefeatable?' -TDM.
"That guy over there.'
I pointed a dragon claw at the man.
'What the one guy in a black suit?' -TDM.
'No the man in white.'
'Human, are you okay? There is only one person there.' -TDM.
Interesting, I started to walk forward and Frances left him and went back to where the girls were but gave me a wide path. Yes, walk around, but the girls would let you know about how they felt about plans getting interrupted! I continued my walk until I walked through the man whose back was turned to me.
"Hello, Dave."
I turned after walking through the projection, and there was a man's face that I had seen a couple times, and I was a bit confused. Mr. Datum was standing in the white suit, smiling at me. Now, this was beyond weird, Dansei, your input would be greatly appreciated right now. One of your alter egos is here.
'Yes, I can see that, so this is where the other part of him was. Hold on, I can wipe the smile off his face, just give me...yeah there. This guy worked with Reginold to build Second Life, and he designed the game with the flaw in it. Reginold was the one that approved it even after I told him about it.' Dansei.
'You knew Reginold?'
'All of us did, we worked for him, well except for Gra, he's not like any of us. There are things he did to MainFrame that scrambled us, and we can only reveal things the very moment before it's too late or if you ask the right questions. This time, I was able to push past the blocks and I won't be quiet anymore...end him, not like Irellia, end him so he doesn't come back. I don't think I asked for very much other than for you to do what you always were meant to, so do me this one favor and make sure he can't keep hurting people.' -Dansei.
I read you loud and clear, and no, I don't mind, if this is the person that really started this all, then I would remove him from existence. I reached to the side and grabbed the Longinus Spear, and Mr. Datum just smiled. That is, until the spear touched him, and tore through his body like paper, but the paper was absorbed in the spear.
I let the spear go and then I began to turn, but the world stopped, and they started to pull apart around us. I rushed to the girl, but they were all okay, then suddenly a screen popped up in my HUD
[Special Win Condition] Met!
[Special prize] Dual Powers!
YOU ARE NOW BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE HALL OF WISHES.
Well, it was over, and I was more than happy to be leaving this place. I hoped I never had to come back, sure there were a lot of great parts, but that was only because I had the girls with me. If I was alone, then, I don't think I could have made it through some of the parts.
The girls were already gone and then I was the only one left, just waiting to be shot into the sky.
'Dave, I need to talk to you about the next game.' -Dansei.
'Sure, what's the deal?'
'So, before I get into that, let's go over some things since I was able to snap my block. First, there are one hundred and thirty-six girls trapped floating around in the game world, and between the five of you, you have collected sixty-eight, which is good, but you start to run out of room, but this next game will help with that. This round you are going to have to find the person that will help you build the Spark Storage, and then you need to start saving girls like it's going out of style, none of the other Harem Leaders were able to do this, and it's not going to be easy.' Dansei.
'I don't think any of the games were easy, but I will do what you need me to, I got a special boost for the next game!'
'You will need it. Take your time and build yourself a good and strong avatar. You will get that option, so take your time, you're in limbo there. Then, once you are ready to go, you will be dropped into city A and will start fighting immediately. The level is non-stop and you will
have to find places to sleep. Think of this as a superhero survival game, Save the girls, and no you don't have to fuck every one of them, but I won't stop you If you try! These girls will not be a part of your Harem, but they are still important girls, everyone one of them are. Good luck, The girls that are a part of your harem will decide who will be going with you into the last two games before you can finally join the others to save the Zodiac worlds.' -Dansie.
Then the beam of light took me up to the Hall of Wishes, where I found my girls waiting, even Stephanie, Delilah, and….WAIFU?! I rushed over and scooped up Kadita into my arms, kissing her all over her neck, making her laugh out loud and giggle. Then I gave her a really long kiss, and held her tight for a moment, before letting her go.
Next, I turned to Delilah, and pulled her in close, locking our lips together. I didn't want to let go, and I didn't want to say goodbye to them for another lifetime. I was surprised Iona never showed up to this game, but there were a lot of girls still left to save, and that was going to my job next game, saving the rest of the girls so we can win for real this time. I really hope I didn't think that last time.
