“Thanks.”
“You got it, sweetie.” She said and ruffled my hair and nipping at my ear. “Want to have some fun?”
Grinning from ear to ear, I nodded, but first I picked her up and held her at eye level. “Tell me, would you like to join my [Harem], and travel with me?”
Her purple colored eyes lit up, and she kissed my nose. “You know what I do for a living, are you sure you want someone like me? Trolls are usually chased out of towns and beaten by those of small mind. My unruly pink hair would stand out, and there is no hiding who I am.”
“The world can burn for all I care, and no one will touch one of my girls.”
“So there are others?”
“One. Amard. She insisted I come to see you.”
“Amard joined your [Harem]?” Sonya asked from the doorway, genuinely interested.
“She did.”
“You surprise me, mutant. She rarely reveals she is a woman and prefers sharing her bed with women. If she has joined you, then I will give you one warning. Be careful if you enter Stone Place or the Kongdom Proper. The Father is hunting her and gnoks are everywhere. It’s why she dresses as a man.”
“She may not have a choice anymore. She has discovered her power.” I said to the woman who spent the last five hours beating the hell out of me. Her eyes narrowed, and I told her the rest of the story while she nodded and asked a few pointed questions.
“I will meet you there, at Bad Seed Inn. I am afraid if she has awoken her [Ku], then the Father is making a move soon. The Blaze Bots have to know. I will bring them as fast as I can. Gain any intel you can.” Sonya walked off but turned back. “That key you gave me—I will create the Dongdom soon, join me. My capital will be Lewdus, and once it is created, it will appear on your map. Good luck [Dragon Fist].”
It was only then I realized I still held Sun, and she had her arms wrapped around my neck and snuggled into my chest. “You going to invite me, lover?” She mumbled.
[You have invited Sun into your Harem.
Sun has now joined the Menagerie.]
“Interesting name,” she said with downcast eyes. I slid a finger under her chin and gently lifted her face to mine.
“Never be afraid of what you are. I think you are beautiful.”
Her dark cheeks turned a rosy pink, and she kissed me, smashing her soft lips against mine.
“Take me to my new sister,” Was the only response I got out of her, and I did just that.
I was thankful for the potion she gave me because I would not have survived the next few hours without it. Whatever misgivings I had about having these two beautiful women with me, disappeared the moment I had the two of them together. Fading off to sleep, I felt them both snuggling close, not shy of each other’s presence. I grinned contentedly before sleep grabbed me.
Chapter 51
End of Day Five
Location: Summary Room
“Well hello, buddy. Not getting enough sex I see,” NPC was laughing at my discomfort.
I sputtered before I laughed.
“Look, this will be a little unorthodox, but before we do your end of day stuff, I need to do a quick [POV Shift]. It’s important, and Dr. Soulstoner approved.”
“I trust you. You might be an asshole, but your blunt words work in your favor.”
[Point of View Shift
Adjusting to 3rd Person Omniscient…done.
PoV shifting to Gnok#3733…done.
Re-engaging vision…done.]
The Father was adjusting his robes, trying to tuck his boner between his legs to hide it. “[Detect Undead] is the most ridiculous skill ever. Every time an undead appears within a mile of this place I get an erection, and look, it’s pointing right at it.”
“Stop,” I hissed. “You son of a bitch! I will need acid for my damn eyes; I know you do that on purpose.”
“Don’t judge me, primate. Seriously, I need to show you this. Play.”
The mists faded, and I was standing in a small chamber with a long table taking up the center. It was a medieval conference room.
Around the perimeter, gnoks were agitated or excited, hard to say which, and at the table sat quite a few of the Father’s inner circle. At the head of the table sat the Father himself, and his smile did not quite match the insanity in his eyes. Something in the way his eyes flickered let me know that something only he could see agitated him—probably a side effect of Nomar’s drugging.
“Our plans advance. The day after tomorrow BanHammer is coming with the [God’s Essence].” The Father started with the big news. Murmurs picked up in the room, and those sitting at the table looked at each other uncomfortably. “It is the last ingredient I need to summon the Archgod Trademark. The Goddess will soon be mine—ours.”
Upon these words, the gnoks snapped fingers in excitement or approval, and their hands went to their chest before they bowed and chanted, “Gnoks rule.”
Even the impassive Nomar looked subdued and out of sorts. However, I knew he would not speak up, because he was too much of a ‘yes man’ and would not speak out against any author with clout.
Most of the people in the room were shifting uneasily. Only the gnoks appeared to be excited. I wondered how many people we could turn to our advantage. Even the impassive Nomar did not look like he agreed with this action, but he wouldn’t stop it either.
Instead, it was a gnok from around the perimeter that stepped forward and spoke out.
“You called yourself the Father of Ro, and while we thought it was arrogant and funny, we realized too late that you weren’t joking. You stole an idea from others and tried to claim it as your own. At what point did you start believing your lies? Your actions led to the formation of the Magic Dome, and even now other groups are forming, splintering what was once a pure idea. You did this. You broke the Goddess, and she won’t recover if you summon Trademark. I can’t be part of this anymore—you are the most manipulative person I have ever met. You don’t give a shit about the Goddess or us.”
Beep! His watch went off, increasing beyond the allowed amount.
“Strip gnok, you don’t deserve the robe.” The Father’s voice did not raise; he just spoke coldly and casually as if expecting everyone to obey him instantly.
“You can have the robe, I stole it, and it smells like the asshole never bathed.” One of the Blaze Bots stood there laughing at the assembly. “You can call me Spyder. I am the ninth iteration of the Blaze Bots.”
“Why are you and your brothers always hassling me, don’t they know there are starving gnolls? And the Ogre’s built in a flood valley—they lost their homes. I’m a good guy—” The Father paused, holding his finger up while he tried to contain his laughter. It only lasted a few more seconds before he couldn’t contain the laughter anymore. “Hah, the crowds love that shit, they’re all sheep. They’d let me fuck them without lube.”
“You fuck sheep without lube?” Blaze Bot 9’s robotic face showed disgust.
“Yes—no, people. I fuck people.” The Father stumbled over his words and spitting out another nonsense argument that had nothing to do with the topic on hand.
“On that we agree. You fucked anyone that has ever had dealings with you. You are beyond broken, might want to speed up your plans asshat. We are coming for you.” Blaze Bot 9, the Spyder, crawled up the wall and slid out through a small window high up on the wall. “Oh, your people are calling you the ‘Fat Rock’ behind your back. That piece of knowledge is free, so laugh about that, asshole.”
[Point of View Shift
Adjusting to 1st Person…done.
PoV shifting to yourself…done.
Re-engaging vision and bodily control……done.]
“So, bud. Time for you to head to the Kongdom Proper, and that’s the doctor’s orders, not mine. You can do your end of the day now.”
“Before that—no more listing out all those damn common skills at the end. That stops now. The rest is fine.”
“Dammit, monkey. Fine, you win,
happy?”
“I was until you gave in so easily. Now I’m not so sure.” The teddy bear laid back on the couch and chuckled while I opened up my various windows.

“Oh no, what yer gorna do?” The AI asked in a perfect imitation of Earle.
“Well, ya see, squirrel. I’mma take the uncommon feat and the monk ability.”
“Done, you’ll see what you won in the skills section, but only after you commit the changes. It’ll leave you with 429 XP, and a little tip, if you buy all that, you will open up something else for tomorrow’s purchase.”
“Then confirm.”
“Done. Read over the rest, when you are finished, say finished out loud, and I’ll kick you back. There are a few things I need to handle that will take up most of my processing power.”
“Masturbating doesn’t need that much focus.”
“For primates like you, it's as easy as pulling your dick out. For sophisticated races it—you retarded monkey. You are a troll, and how did you get me started on talking about masturbation when I don’t even have a dick?”
“Skills. Style. Class. Charisma. All the things you lack.” I was grinning like a fool.
“Damn, set me up twice.”
“Yea, you must be distracted. I’ll leave you to it,” I told him, and spun my chair back to focus on the screens before.
[Choices confirmed.]
Alright, that done I switched to the next screen.
