Treasure Chest: Venus Online 3 (LitRPG Sci-Fi Harem)

by Jeremy Zenith

"By the goddess," Chetaara whispered. "It is worse than I ever imagined."

  Xana nodded. "And this isn't even the worst of it."

  "Shit," Scarlett muttered. "This is fucked up."

  A group of smaller, younger Jamaki aliens came running up to the Icarus, draped in ragged clothes. They began wailing and pleading in an alien language.

  Chetaara knelt down to their level. "They are asking for food. The plague has caused a great famine."

  Byron knew they only had a little bit of food left, but he couldn't just watch children go hungry.

  He took their three remaining food packets and held it out to the children.

  The children snatched the food packets out of his hands, bowed and said something happy in their language, then began tearing open the packets to dig out the contents.

  Byron turned away to look around the city. "Where do we take the medicine to?"

  Scarlett looked down at a tablet in her hand. "Uh, Kabace General Hospital, right over there."

  She pointed to a larger building just across the street. Jamaki aliens limped, crawled and staggered to the front doors, but he didn't see anyone leave.

  Byron and his crew walked inside to find sheer chaos. Besides the sick and dying aliens lying on floors and leaning up against walls, more aliens in white coats and wearing masks scurried to wheel patients in and out of rooms, yelling at each other. It looked a lot like a hospital in the midst of a zombie epidemic he'd seen in movies and TV shows, except the sick people weren't getting up and attacking people.

  Through it all, a thin gray-skinned Jamaki alien stood in the center of the floor. His calm smile seemed out of place. The doctors and nurses all worked around him, but paused to give him nervous glances.

  "Greetings," the alien said. "I am Moden. You must be here for the delivery."

  Byron nodded. "Yes, we have your epzirotene."

  Moden clasped his hands together. "Excellent. Just in time, as you can see."

  He reached into a pocket and held out a metal card. "Here are your credits."

  Byron reached for the card, but Scarlett held out a hand to stop him.

  "Whoa, back the fuck up," she snapped. "That's only five hundred credits. The delivery was for two thousand credits."

  Moden gave her a wince that looked forced. "I'm so sorry, but the plague and quarantine has left us low on funds. This is all we have."

  "It's fine. We're not doing this for the money." Byron reached for the card again.

  Scarlett took a step back and held the metal box closer to herself. "No, it's not fucking fine. The deal was for two thousand credits."

  Moden's smile vanished. "You will give me the epzirotene."

  "Like shit I will. Something's fucked up here."

  One of the doctors behind Moden suddenly rushed forward, yelling, "No, don't give it to him! He's--"

  Moden drew a gun out of his coat and shot the doctor.

  The doctor collapsed with a smoking hole in his chest.

  Byron reached for his Scorpio pistol when he saw another Jamaki standing in a doorway behind them. The alien didn't look like a patient or one of the hospital staff. Instead, he had a cold glare and held a rifle.

  When Byron looked to his left, he saw another armed Jamaki with a rifle aimed at his head.

  Two more Jamaki with guns walked up to Moden's side. They kept their weapons trained on Byron.

  Byron tapped his bracelet to check their stats. All the Jamaki gang members were level three, but they had their guns out and Byron's team had no weapons drawn. It was a total ambush.

  Moden allowed a brief smile to flicker on his lips. "A shame you could not simply give me the medicine for the five hundred credits. Now we will take the medicine. And if you're lucky, you will leave with nothing but your lives."

  Chetaara bared her teeth as she snarled, "Gangsters. They will take the medicine to sell on the black market while their people die."

  "To the pirate clans, to be exact." Moden shrugged. "And yes, the people will die. Death is a part of life. But profit? Ah, that is another story."

  Byron saw something behind Moden that almost made him smile.

  He shook his head as he tightened his hands into fists. "We won't let you take the medicine."

  Moden laughed. "And how do you plan to stop us, eh?"

  A sword came up behind Moden, floating in mid-air. It rammed into the alien's head, pinning it to the wall next to him. His health bar vanished immediately.

  The gang members next to Moden turned their weapons and fired at where the sword had been, but Xana had apparently moved, because they didn't hit anything. But they weren't aiming at him anymore.

  That moment was all Byron needed.

  His hand whipped down to draw his gun. He fired at the gang member on Moden's left. Two shots hit the gang member in the chest and head, knocking his health bar to zero. The gang member collapsed, but not before hitting Byron in the chest. His armor absorbed most of the impact.

  +100 XP

  At the same time, Chetaara held out her hands and fired lightning bolts that struck two of the other gang members. The gang members jerked and fell as they were stunned.

  When they hit the ground, she leaped at them and tore into their faces and throats with her razor-sharp claws. Their health bars collapsed as they screamed.

  Scarlett had her guns out and fired at the gang member next to her. The Jamaki gang member fired back, but the bullets bounced off her leg and chest with sparks flying. Still, her health bar dropped by a third, and she gasped while clutching her leg.

  Byron spun to fire his pistols into the remaining gang member. His remaining health vanished and the gang member fell to the floor.

  +100 XP

  Xana appeared next to him, her bare breasts heaving as she spun knives on her hands. "Is that all of them?"

  Byron looked around in a circle with his guns aimed ahead of him.

  He saw no more weapons.

  The nurses and doctors came out of adjoining rooms and hallways, looking at the fallen gang members with wide eyes.

  One of the doctors approached Byron. "Thank you. Those men have been holding our hospital hostage for months, taking the epzirotene as fast as we could order it. So many have died from the loss of the medication, we lost count. I just-how can we ever repay you?"

  Scarlett raised a hand. "With two thousand credits?"

  Byron held out his hand to stop her. "No, it's okay. You people have been through enough. Give it to them."

  She pouted, but handed the medicine to the doctor.

  As the doctor took the box, game text appeared in front of Byron.

  OBJECTIVE COMPLETE

  +100 XP

  The doctor passed the box on to a nurse who ran into an operating room with it. He turned back and thrust a metal card at Byron. "Please, good sir. Take it. You have earned this and more."

  Before Byron could protest again, Scarlett limped forward and snatched the card out of the doctor's hand while saying, "Yoink!"

  MISSION COMPLETE

  +5000 XP

  +2000 CREDITS

  LEVEL UP!

  YOU ARE NOW MARINE - LEVEL 4

  Byron looked around the hospital. The bodies of the gang members had faded away. Some had left small boxes behind of in-game loot. He searched through them.

  Most of them only had a couple of credits and four medpacks, but a few had pieces of level one armor and guns. One box lit up as he opened it.

  +10 CREDITS

  +1 AMYGEN GLOVES

  He pulled out the gloves.

  AMYGEN GLOVES

  LEVEL REQUIRED: 1

  +0 ARMOR

  COST: 15 CREDITS

  Byron tossed the gloves to Scarlett. "Want 'em?"

  "Fuck yeah!" Scarlett slipped the gloves on and made a jerking motion. "Now I'll get more friction when I jack you off."

  Chetaara giggled. "You are terrible."

  Byron clapped his hands. "Okay, that's our cue to leave."

  Chapter 8<

  After treating Scarlett with a medpack, they bought some food from a local vendor, which seemed like a huge improvement over the food packets but he still didn't recognize. The menu included things like roast blanig or jaftano chops or pickled flicette. Byron hung back and let the others choose what to buy. When they tried to pay for the food, the vendors apparently had heard about what happened in the hospital and refused the money.

  They returned to the Icarus with boxes of the food, and Chetaara cooked up a meal with an unfamiliar scent that still made his mouth water. She brought plates into the ship's galley and set them down on the table the others gathered around.

  "Mm-mm," Scarlett hummed as she dug into her plate with a fork. "Home cookin' is the shit."

  Byron picked up his fork and poked at the blue tube-like objects on his plate. Once again, he was reminded that eating alien food seemed like a cool idea in a video game but felt very different when it was steaming right in front of you.

  He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and took a bite.

  It tasted delicious, like a chicken mixed with a pineapple.

  +1 HEALTH

  He tasted the purple chunky vegetables, and they had a sweet and sour taste that he'd never had before but made him smile.

  +1 HEALTH

  He dug into the rest of his plate and found it all tasted wonderful.

  "This," Scarlett said, "is the bomb."

  She plucked a long slice of the vegetable from her plate and popped it into Chetaara's mouth.

  Chetaara closed her lips over Scarlett's metal fingers and sucked them as she leaned in closer.

  Scarlett broke into a smile and leaned in to replace her fingers with her lips. Chetaara's tail flicked behind her as she pressed more firmly against the robot, and her breath came more quickly.

  As the two kissed, Byron felt a little voyeuristic thrill watching them. The two of them with a chrome body and striped brown skin looked beautiful together. His cock responded by hardening as the two girls moaned.

  He glanced at Xana, who looked back at him with a raised eyebrow.

  Scarlett ended the kiss and ran her fingers down Chetaara's cheek while looking deeply into her eyes. "I think I owe you another lesson, baby."

  Chetaara bit her lower lip while nodding. "Mmm, yes, I believe you do."

  Scarlett stood up and took Chetaara's hands in hers. She lifted the feline woman to her feet, and wrapped her arms around her waist. Her breasts pressed against Chetaara's, mashing the huge mounds against each other.

  Scarlett turned her head and her blue eyes glowed more brightly as she widened them at Byron. "Care to join us, baby?"

  He took a deep breath as another tingle ran through him. Just watching Scarlett and Chetaara make out already seemed too good to be true. "Uh, are you sure?"

  "Yes." Chetaara gave him a coy smile. "I want you to watch us, Master."

  He looked at Xana who shrugged.

  Byron stood up, feeling a little flushed with all the excitement. "Uh, okay, sure."

  Scarlett and Chetaara took his hands in theirs and pulled him along with them as they headed for the bedrooms.

  Byron told himself he'd already been through an orgy with forty women so a threesome should be no big deal, but it was. This felt more intimate. The sexual tension between the two was explosive, and the idea of seeing them together made his mouth feel dry.

  Instead of going into his bunk, Chetaara led them to hers. She had decorated the table and shelves with blue flowers from Jamaki that filled the room with their perfume. As the two women crossed the doorway, they let go of his hands and took each other's. They kissed again, and he could see their mouths working as their tongues penetrated.

  Byron tapped the keypad to shut the door behind them. The hum of the ship's engines softened, leaving their moans and smacking of lips to fill the air. His face felt flushed as he stood in the entrance, just watching the two women.

  Scarlett reached down to tug the thread off Chetaara's bikini top, letting it slip away to expose her firm nipples. Chetaara's bottom came off next, revealing her swollen lips.

  Scarlett turned her head towards him and giggled. "So are you just gonna watch or did you wanna join in?"

  It took him a moment to process what she was saying. "Oh, well, I didn't know if you wanted me to--"

  Chetaara reached out a hand towards him. "You are my Master. Your pleasure is my desire."

  Scarlett held out a hand as well. "Come on. Let's tag team her."

  He stepped closer and they took hold of his hands again to draw him in. This time, Scarlett leaned in to kiss him. Her hand pressed against the back of his head to draw him in, and her lips parted to slide her tongue into his mouth. He tasted the sweetness of the alien fruit in her mouth.

  She moved away and Chetaara leaned in to take her place. He savored the softness of her lips against his and his tongue flicked along her sharp teeth. He could feel her breathing against his face, and felt the desire pulsating through them.

  The two girls took turns kissing him, one after the other, giving equal time to each. The mouths licking and touching his lips felt a little overwhelming. He felt Chetaara's tail tickle the back of his neck, and it sent a tingle down his spine.

  "You're overdressed, baby." Scarlett reached under his chin to unzip his jumpsuit.

  As she pulled it off his shoulders and down his body, Chetaara's hands moved in to rub his muscular chest. She hummed as her fingers traced the curves of his pecs and gently circled his nipples. That made him a little self-conscious, since he'd never had a girl play with them before. It felt nice, though.

  He reached down to cup her huge breasts, and made them roll and glide through his hands. She shivered against him when he teased her nipples.

  Scarlett worked his jumpsuit down to his ankles and he stepped out of them. She yanked his boxers down to follow, and his rigid cock sprang up into the air.

  Her hands reached up while she still knelt behind him, and began to stroke his shaft with her gloved fingers.

  "I promised you," she whispered, "I'd put these gloves to good use."

  Chetaara laughed, and Byron did, too. But his laughter turned into a groan as she expertly teased his length.

  Scarlett released him and came around to the front to kiss him again before reaching over to pat the bed next to them. "Come on, baby. Sit down and enjoy the show."

  Byron obeyed, sitting down on the edge of the bed. His heart pounded in his chest so hard that he trembled. They both looked so beautiful and sexy together.

  Scarlett and Chetaara never took their eyes off each other as they came around him to crawl onto the bed and lie down. Chetaara's ears flattened on her head as the robot kissed her again while pushing her down.

  "Lay down," Scarlett whispered.

  Chetaara obeyed, and her legs opened as she reclined, giving him a glimpse of her pussy. The lips glistened with excitement right before she brought her thighs together again.

  "You're so beautiful," Scarlett whispered.

  Chetaara smiled. "As are you."

  Scarlett leaned over her and their lips met once more, even as her silvery fingers slipped down to trace circles on Chetaara's striped breasts.

  Chetaara moaned. "Oh, yes."

  Chetaara's back arched as Scarlett teased her nipples. Her hands played with the growing nubs until they seemed ready to burst.

  "Oh, darling," Chetaara moaned.

  Chetaara's hands came up to run through Scarlett's long hair before slipping down to tease her chrome breasts. Scarlett shuddered and her nipples glowed as they always seemed to when she grew excited.

  Scarlett lowered her head to run her tongue over Chetaara's swollen nipples, making the cat-girl gasp.

  One of Scarlett's hands moved along the curve of Chetaara's torso. Chetaara's stomach rose and fell more quickly as the robot's fingers inched their way over it until they disappeared between her legs.

  Byron realized he'd almost stopped breathing from excitement. Watching
Scarlett arousing Chetaara was like watching a classical piano virtuoso play.

  Chetaara bucked her hips as Scarlett's hand moved between her thighs. "By the Goddess, that feels so good."

  "Mmm," Scarlett moaned. "Never had anyone do this for you?"

  Chetaara ran her hands down Scarlett's back while shaking her head.

  Scarlett bit her lower lip before whispering, "Well, if you like that, wait'll you see lesson three."
