Hazard Online 2: Revenge

by Jaeger Mitchells

  The paralyzing pain dissipated and disappeared within seconds. Dineth started groaning and pushed himself up, then offered his hand to help me. I felt like a kid that had to be spoon-fed, but there was something about this Succubus that wouldn’t let me function properly around her.

  "Thanks," I murmured and got up. "All of this is just a gigantic clusterfuck."

  "Tell me about it. I can’t wait to get out of here," he replied. "Speaking of which, how the hell do we get out of here?"

  "I got no idea," I replied and looked over at my girls. I couldn’t help it and spread my arms. Katya rushed in first, followed by Scarlet. Renee stood to the side, biting her lower lip before both girls nodded for her to join in. Needless to say, it was one of the most serene moments I’ve had since waking up to this nightmare called Hazard Online. No, it wasn’t a game anymore, and never again would be. Not after the last couple of days.

  A weak cough drew our attention. We turned to Wenet, who just sat there over Melinoe’s corpse, the heart still in her hand. All of us walked over as a group and stopped a couple foot shy of her.

  "What now?" she whispered. "What will I do now with my life? Who will I serve?" she looked up with her large, round eyes. The ears atop her head lay flat, as if someone had glued them to her scalp.

  "I don’t know. It all depends on you, Wenet," I replied and put my hand on her shoulder. I knelt beside the woman and comforted her the way I thought would matter.

  "Yeah, I guess. So, is the offer still valid?"

  I shrugged and curled my lips in a tight smile.

  "If you tell me why you’re Wenet and not Larina, sure."

  "Oh my god! He uses his one surefire question on her name? Scar, please kill me!" Katya groaned. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

  "So?" I asked again.

  Wenet shrugged and threw the dead heart aside, got up and into my face.

  "Because I’m a goddess. An Egyptian one at that. The name I used to go by in ancient times is Wenet. Though I prefer Larina any day. It kinda grew on me."

  "Right, your godship," I teased and gave her a wink. "Now, would you be so kind and get us the fuck out of this place? I’ve had enough of it here for a lifetime."

  Wenet raised an eyebrow and planted her hands on her hips.

  "And you think I can?"

  We let out a collective groan and I even went as far to sit down again. Then, I remembered something. The boss was dead. Loot!

  "Loot that bitch before she disappears!" I yelled in group chat and stepped over to her. Four boxes appeared in front of me. One held a scroll, the second a new weapon, the third held the last part for the three item puzzle thingy, and the last an experience potion. The thing I was most interested in though, was the scroll.

  Scroll of return. Teleports the player out of any dungeon to their last saved position.

  "You still haven’t abandoned us, huh, Sylvia?"

  We appeared in a clearing devoid of anything but the grass under our feet, and the sun above our heads. If I’d had given it a name, it would have been purgatory, most likely. There was no god and no devil however, only a rocking chair with its back turned to us. Strands of dark hair drifted in the wind, accompanied by song.

  The figure stood up, revealing long hair flowing down their back and a white, sheer nightgown that ended about ten inches above the knees. She turned and sent shivers down my spine. It was the image Sylvia had taken up the first time we’d met. I groaned and stepped up to her. She looked annoyed by the lack of affection displayed, but I really didn’t feel like talking to her now. After all, it was her who sent us to this hellish place.

  "Sylvia," I said and nodded. "It’s good to see you."

  "Liar," she shot back without hesitation. "I can feel it in your bones. But no matter. So, what can I do for you?"

  I turned to my group questioningly.

  "What does she mean?"

  "Beats me," Katya said.

  "No idea," Scarlet added. The rest shook their heads or shrugged.

  "Big help you guys are," I replied and turned to Sylvia again.

  "Let me help you out, since it looks like your heads aren’t screwed on properly. Would you like to go home? To Hazard I mean? Or stay here and solve the death quest?"

  "Ohh, you mean that," I replied sheepishly. "Umm, wait, death quest?"

  "Yes, death. The grim reaper? Lady Matilda? Black Death? There’s so many names that belong to this entity, but I don’t feel like going through all of them."

  "Right, death. Umm, I’m totally fine without meeting death."

  "I see. You’ll be missing out on quite a reward in that case. Are you sure?" She stepped even closer and stopped thirty inches from my face. Her warm, intoxicating breath was enough to get me drunk. Her bright green eyes and full lips. I imagined them kissing me all over, as well as exploring that perfect body of hers. Tracing it up and down with my fingers, kissing her neck and nibbling on her nipples.

  She smirked knowingly.

  "We can do that when we’re alone. To be honest, I’d like to see what the fuss is about. People fucking left and right like bunnies. Maybe you could indulge me?"

  I gulped and looked back, but then noticed we were talking on a private line.

  "I definitely would like to show you, goddess. And more than once at that," I replied, a bit full of myself. A year ago, I’d never even consider replying like that, even less imagining it to be true, but this was a new world and a new life.

  "Oh, I like that," she chuckled. Her breasts moved up and down as her body moved from the laughter. "Anyway, are you sure you’d say no to ten levels, and possibly more loot?"

  I gulped again. Ten levels was no joke, especially because any skill I activated meant more DPS as well as better survivability

  "Guys? Sylvia here proposes we finish the quest for lady death. Ten levels and loot. Anyone up to it?"

  "Ask her about death. Do we die for real upon death in here?" Renee was first to ask.

  "That’s a good question. No, you don’t, though you’re sent back to Hazard without any of the rewards up to now. Including your red soul," she said looking at Scarlet, "the Maelstrom skill," she added, "and finally, the ladies that you care for so deeply." Her gaze lingered on Dineth who perked up at the statement.

  "And what if we choose to go back right away? Can we keep… Monica and Larina?" he asked. I felt sorry for the guy, especially since Monica seemed so fond of him as well. She put her arm around his and looked up at him, her eyes looking like she was about to burst out into tears.

  "But, the two of them aren’t players, they’re AIs, right?" I asked curiously.

  "Who knows? They are what you want them to be. An AI is as much a person as the five of you are. They will be given a class reset scroll, which they need to use before they can leave Paradise Lost. Once they’re skilled, they will be every bit the players you are."

  "Makes sense," I replied and looked Larina over. "What do you want to do?" I asked and held my hand out to her. I noticed the others look at her anywhere from angrily to curiously. At the moment, I didn’t care. If they would leave me over an AI, they could go ahead and do so. Not that I’d ever tell them that.

  Larina walked up and took my hand. She didn’t look up at Sylvia, as if she’d punish her for it. I personally disliked hierarchy of any sort. We were all equal in my eyes, so why play the ‘I’m better than you’ game?

  "I want to be with him. For all we did to Aiden, I owe him a life’s debt."

  Her statement didn’t sit right with me. Not at all. True, they’d be doing it, but it was Sylvia who gave them the means.

  "I think we have our Overmind here to thank for that. And whatever the reason may have been to torture me like that, it sucks."

  Sylvia burst out in laughter, her voice angelic and demonic at the same time. Somehow, I felt that whatever reason she’d provide me with would be inadequate.

  "You should be thanking me, boy. You see, all I did was to make you reme
mber. Remember what it was like to be human. The pain, the pleasure, the helplessness. I might have overdone it, but there shouldn’t be any lasting consequences. Right?"

  "No disrespect, but if you feel that it was a favor to me, please forget about me in the future, all right? If you’d been human, and ever had a blade cut you over a hundred times without dying, in just one of the sessions, I think that you’d feel the same way," I snapped angrily. "Besides, who gave you the right to torture me?"

  Her lips curled up in a smirk.

  "Well I did. I’m both your god and your devil, Aiden. Not just yours, mind you, but to anyone who made it here forever."

  Sheer terror came over me as her look never wavered, and if nothing else, turned to steel.

  "Can we go home?" I asked, my voice weak. There would be no risk and no tears shed today. I wanted to go home, and enjoy what I had to the fullest. Tomorrow was a new day. We would what it would bring.

  "Very well then! And congratulations! All of you will get five levels once you’re home, a little reward for doing such an unpredictable thing. I was entertained all up to the end."

  At least someone was, I thought.

  "Thank you for your benevolence, Overmind. We will do our best to provide even more entertainment for you in the future," I said, more sarcastically than truthfully. Luckily for me, she didn’t get it.

  "Make sure you do. Oh, and one last thing. The monthly clan wars are about to start. Three days from now. The rewards vary by clan level and type of battle. You just need one more player to create a clan and participate."

  "Thanks. I really mean it," I replied. "Any other interesting dead guys or girls you can send our way?" I joked.

  "You already have an eighth player. All you need to do is convince her to join you. Oh, and for the first time ever, the rewards in the minor clan war league are castles. The smaller ones house up to twenty players, and can only go up to thirty in total, even at maximum level. The biggest go up to a thousand. See, I really do think about you guys and have your well-being in mind."

  "And what about Paradise Lost?" Scarlet asked and stepped up to the AI. "We’ve worked so hard to upgrade it."

  Sylvia shrugged, her long hair swirling in the wind.

  "Would you rather have a house or a castle? Besides, you get to keep both. But castles have many more benefits. Houses are much more intimate, even though you get to have separate rooms in the castle. Or one big room for the five of you," she said with a smirk.

  "I want to keep--"

  "Scarlet, we can talk about that later. We haven’t even made the clan yet, even less won the clan war," I interrupted her and put my left hand on her right shoulder. I squeezed gently and pulled her in an embrace. "I’ll never get rid of Paradise Lost. It’s ours. No worries."

  She looked up at me with big, pleading eyes.

  "Now that everything is said and done, I think it’s time to bid you farewell. Toodaloo!"

  Sylvia waved us off and snapped her fingers. The last thing I saw, was her winking and blowing me a kiss. I sighed and closed my eyes on instinct. Nausea hit for a long moment, and we appeared on Paradise Lost again. Finally.

  I looked around and found the rest appear one by one. First Katya, then Scarlet, Renee, Dineth, Larina and finally Monica. I sighed in relief upon finding us all present and fell over on the warm sand. Home at last. Sunny days, warm water, women and friends. What else could one ever want, or need?

  "What now?" Dineth asked. "That thing doesn’t look nearly big enough to house all of us."

  I closed my eyes and groaned.

  "Fuck. That is so true," I replied and got up. If my bones could hurt, I think they would at this point. I was tired and weary, so naturally, I’d prefer to rest. "We got three rooms. One in the attic, which is big enough for the two of you, but there’s five of us now, and either of the two are too small for the five of us. Maybe we can remodel the floors or something."

  "Oh, oh, oh! Let us do that!" Scarlet offered and took Katya by her hand and pulled her into the house. Renee and Larina stood there, unsure of what to do. After all, they were more or less guests. And to be honest, Katya and Scarlet had put in a lot of work to upgrade our home, so they should have the final say.

  "Come swim with me," I said and offered my hands to both women. "Want to join us?" I looked at Dineth and Monica. He shrugged and picked up his little Dryad, then followed suit.

  23

  The warm water cleansed us of all the filth and grime, tiredness and fatigue. We had stripped and jumped in naked, enjoying every sensation offered to us. Dineth had his big tool out and was riding Monica not ten feet from us. I envied him partially, but not the girl. That thing must have hurt like a mother.

  I looked away, my face flushed and observed my two sirens, one human and the other still half rabbit. Larina floated on her back and was staring up at the sun. Her perky breasts floated partially above water, nipples erect. It really didn’t take much to rile me up, but Renee was there to help me. The girl knew how to be at the right place at the right time.

  She swam around me and rubbed her big breasts against my back and held tight with her left hand, while she caressed my chest with her right. Her fingers traced along my chest, sending shivers down my back, and then, her hand slid down and took hold of my piece. Renee’s hand slid along the shaft slowly, stroking it and helping it get up. She didn’t need much for me to get hard, as the situation was more than erotic.

  "Do you want me to get on?" she asked, her breasts still against my back. Her pubic hair brushed against my lower back as she rubbed herself against me.

  "Do you even need to ask? When have I ever said no?"

  "Really? Is that the correct thing to say to a lady?" she teased and bit down on my neck.

  "No. Well, yes. I mean, don’t you prefer honesty?"

  She chuckled and pressed even harder against me.

  "Look who’s joining in," she whispered and nodded to our right. Only Larina’s eyes were visible above the water and her hair. The ears were still there as well, which meant that she hadn’t re-classed yet.

  My lips curled up in a tight smile. I hadn’t tasted Larina yet. Wonder how a goddess was in the sheets, or water, in this case. She noticed us observing her and dipped down under the surface, disappearing from sight.

  "Wonder if she can even swi--"

  I got cut off as two hands wrestled each other for my cock. Renee pushed off me, so she had lost the battle I guessed. Larina resurfaced in front of me, first her ears and then her head. Her hand was still holding on to my length and moving back and forth slowly.

  "Can I have you?" she whispered and licked my earlobe. "I’ll be gentle."

  "Yeah, go ahead, but no need to be gentle. I can take it, goddess."

  She pulled back at my words and turned beet red in seconds.

  "W-w-what do you mean? I’m no longer a goddess," she stammered and let go of me.

  "Don’t let go, please," I said and pulled her hand back, then lead it back in between my legs. She cupped my balls and squeezed down, just hard enough for me to feel pain. "Yeah, like that, goddess," I groaned.

  "P-please s-stop with the g--"

  "Or what? To me you’ll always remain a goddess, at least when we’re alone."

  She shivered and pressed herself against me. Her firm mounds were close to my mouth, so I dug in and nibbled on her erect nipples. She screamed my name and snapped her mouth shut. I could feel Renee’s stare on my back, but I didn’t care. If she wanted to, she could join in.

  Larina fumbled with my cock and moved it along her lips, then slid down. She was tighter than any of my girls and the sensation that ran along my body was heaven.

  "Pump me full," she growled and put her hands around my neck. The water was heavenly, and more than enough to help with her weight. I picked up her legs and pressed them up against my shoulders, then started moving my hips back and forth, ramming my length all the way inside her.

  "Scream all you want, goddess," I moaned as
her muscles contracted around my cock. Her nails dug deep in my back as she moved along. I could feel the pressure build, but I wouldn’t let her go off so easily and slowed down with my thrusts. I let go with one of my hands and rubbed against her clit.

  "Oh, yes!" she cried and arched her back. "Fuck me!"

  I was taken aback by the brazen change in her words, but I loved it. My own personal dirty goddess. A new hand grabbed my balls from behind and massaged them.

  "Oh you didn’t forget about me, now did you?" Renee hissed and squeezed much harder than was healthy.

  "Fucks sake! Renee!"

  "What? You were about to get down on me, and now I get to watch you from the sidelines?"

  "Everything all right over there?" Dineth called from where the two of them had sat down. Monica lay with her head on his chest, right hand around his shaft.

  "Why? Want to do it with a vampire?" I called back.

  "Eww! The fuck man?"

  "Then mind your own business!"

  I turned back to my women, only to find them giggling.

  "You sure know how to kill the mood," Renee joked and swam around us, then grabbed Larina’s breasts from behind and pushed herself against the woman. Larina moaned as Renee played with her nipples, pinching down on them and massaging her mounds.

  "Tell that to the big ogre there," I replied and moved my hips again, thrusting harder and faster than earlier. My cock felt like it had turned to stone and was about to burst, when I released my load inside of her. Gout after gout of thick fluid filled Larina’s pussy. Her fingers dug deep in my skin, but she wasn’t ready to release just yet. I pumped her harder and faster to the point the tip of my cock hurt. It was all for a good cause in the end, I kept telling myself.

  "Yes, yes! I’m almost there!" she cried and bit down on my neck, her sharp teeth drawing blood. From the shock and ecstasy, I came inside heragain just as she did.

  "Ahh, fuck!" I yelled and tried to pull her off me, but she wouldn’t let go. Instead, she held on even tighter and bit down harder. My cock didn’t seem to care as it released shot after shot of cum. Finally, she let go and dropped into the water, my cock still inside her.
