章 161: Chapter 98 - Eve of the New Beginning
Tolbana, the central of activity in Sword Art Online. The players were coming from all sides. Most of them didn't even look like front line players. If anything, they were close to civilians. He perked his ears to overhear many of them talking, "he's getting a superb traction with his sermon."
"Issei-senpai!! Let's go!!! You are embarrassing me!!!"
Aransae turned his head to look towards the voices. He found Issei standing in the middle of the road, drooling as he darted his eyes between the girls. And Gasper, who kept trying to push him forward. He walked over to them, "You two, what are you doing?"
"Master?"
"Master!!"
Gasper and Issei's face lit up in joy. He expected Gasper to jump on him in a hug, but before him Issei grabbed his thigh, kneeling in front of him, crying, "Master!!!"
"Issei," Aransae chuckled. Issei wore a white light armour shirt, dark blue coat, and pants, carrying a sword on his back. He looked smart, as long as he wasn't drooling over girls or hugging his leg.
"Master! Issei-san is so embarrassing!" Gasper cried, hanging on Aransae's arm, "please save me!"
"Oh," Aransae pulled Gasper's cheek, "you aren't wearing anything over your face?"
Gasper blushed, "this is in a VR game...I am used to it with Master taking over my body."
"Oh, good boy," Aransae patted his head, only to be shaken by Issei, "Master! Now listen to me!"
"Yes? Issei?"
"Master! It's been three weeks! Three! Please help me! I can't take it anymore! I think I am going to become a virgin again!"
Aransae chuckled, "Ok, I'll help you if you let me go."
"Yes, Master!" Issei jumped to his feet, saluting him. He even peeled Gasper away from him.
Aransae scanned his surroundings. The closer they got to the Amphitheater. He could see stranger things. Like stands by people who had taken cooking as their profession. They were selling on the stands as long as you provided them with materials. He decided to pick up a few skewers, "What have you two been up to?"
"Slaying monster and leveling! This is so much fun! This is just like a dream come true," Issei happily started telling him what they did for the last three weeks. After he stopped them from entering the zombie world, or where they were nearly useless. It was mainly because he was pulling away, but to them it looked like it was because they were all useless without magical energy and couldn't fight the zombies.
Which Rias took to heart. She had a plan for the whole peerage, for them to select a weapon and not just learn the game. Also, learn the weapon.
Unlike him, who hadn't been in contact with them, they were all using the chance to make sure they were ready for higher Dungeon Floors and had their basics down.
"Master, where are we going?"
"To the Amphitheater. Have you two met It's Ok guy?"
"Yes!! I know!!" Gasper raised his hand, "He's the big brother who went around bringing all the children together on the first day. He took us all the church. Issei-san found me there!"
"I just thought that Gasper was getting kidnapped by a strange man," Issei proudly rubbed the tip of his nose.
"Ara, ara, is Issei-kun being a jealous little boy again?"
"Akeno-senpai!!"
"Yessssss~!!! I am being such a bad boy," Issei lewdly grinned, feeling Akeno's boobs pressed against his cheek as she poked his cheek.
"Akeno..."
"Master," Akeno happily smiled at him. If Gasper with his black dress wasn't bringing enough attention, then she Akeno brought more than a little. She wore blue gloves and stockings, along with a leotard with a collar that had a cut a heart-shaped cut around her chest. She covered her boobs with a firm blue bra.
She was more than enough to make any man's blood rush to their dick. Aransae smiled at her, "who ratted me out?"
Akeno smirked, burying Issei's face further between her boobs, stroking his hair, "who do you think?"
"Issei-san..." Gasper looked disappointed, but Issei was far too busy enjoying Akeno's boobs to pay attention.
"Do you have a place in Tolbana?"
"Yes, master, and you have a delicious guest waiting for you," Akeno grinned, "I should inform her since we didn't think we'd know your elusive whereabouts so soon."
"I deserve a reward for that!" Issei grinned, pointing at himself, proud.
"Yes, yes, you do," Akeno ruffled his hair. She took Aransae's palm, "master, what have you been up to?"
"From what I can tell. You people have already made a few groups and come together. Don't you already know everything I have been up to?"
"Yes," Akeno whispered, "everyone posted their videos. Tsubaki when she got fucked by you and Kiba. Grayfia posted her sessions with Millicas, training him, and then when you taught him how to use Grayfia. That was so hot, Master. But what you did with Eve. Truly, your best work till now."
"What I did with Eve? I didn't do anything with Eve," Aransae curiously cocked his head.
"No, you helped Sir Aurelius with his situation and brought Eve's brother back to life. Didn't you? I mean, there is no one else who could do those things."
"No," Aransae shook his head, "I didn't do any of them. I am pretty sure it was Aurelius who is behind Aurum's supposed resurrection, and Aurum behind repairing Aurelius's condition. I could only do something like that inside the Dungeon. Not outside."
"Oh," Akeno blinked a few times, taking them a house instead of an Inn, "Then. You should tell her this after you enjoy your gift."
"Akeno-senpai, what gift," Issei curiously peeped forward, when Akeno opened the door to the house. He petrified, seeing the gorgeous, elegant golden-haired girl, sitting on her knees. She wore a naked apron that barely covered anything. Especially since it ended on her thighs before it even started.
He gulped, unable to breathe, especially when the girl bowed her head, "Welcome home Master. Would you like me or me or me?"
Aransae looked towards Akeno, who looked away with flushed cheeks. It did not surprise him that his peerage members wanted to attack Eve so badly. She had been beautiful since the moment he saw her. Even in his memories. But every time he saw her, she became more charming. To the point that her charm was stronger than a succubus, and working even in a virtual world.
He patted Issei's head, "Go Issei. Hold her down, but don't bite or fuck."
"Yes~!!!" Issei jumped on a surprised Eve, pushing her down on the floor. He started lapping his tongue on her cheek and neck, planting kisses all over her face, making Eve twist as she tried to get away from him. Only to see Aransae crouch beside her, "What are you doing here?"
Eve raised her dark ruby eyes, "Sir Aransae, could you stop~!"
"Issei, her cleavage."
"Thank you, master!" Issei took a deep breath, grabbing Eve's boobs, shouting, "Thank you for the meal!"
He buried his face in her breasts and began to motorboat her, licking and sucking at her tits, making the girl squeal and arch her back. She grabbed on Issei's head, moaning, "Sir Aransae~!!"
"Eve, why are you here?" Aransae curiously asked.
"Big brother Aurelius! He asked me to thank you!! For helping him! And I wanted to for helping big brother Aurum!"
"Like I told Akeno, it wasn't me," Aransae shook his head, stroking her head, "Nothing that you have to thank me about."
Eve raised her body, gripping Issei's hair, breathing in his ear, which left him shuddering, stopping him front attacking her. She rubbed the back of his neck as she sat up, looking at Aransae, "I needed to talk to you too. About Dungeon. About us. About your memories."
"You mean Spindra's memories."
"No, your memories," Eve noticed the silence. Even Issei pulled away from her, despite wanting to enjoy how she tickled him.
Aransae watched Eve. He glanced towards Akeno, "bedroom?"
"She knows," Akeno smiled at him, hoping he would get some answers.
Aransae followed Eve, who stopped and bowed towards a waving Akeno before taking him to the bedroom. He watched her back, slowly shifting his eyes towards her bare ass. The round, firm globes of her cheeks bouncing with each step.
Eve opened the door and let him in, closing it behind them and locking it, "does it make it easier...?"
"Easier?"
"The voices in your head?"
Aransae shot his eyes up into her dark ruby eyes, "What?"
"Big brother Aurelius can read minds. Did you really think he wouldn't notice," Eve tucked her hair behind her ear. She smiled, walking him to the bed where she sat down.
"He did, huh," Aransae gave her nonchalant look, "What about them?"
"Big brother Aurum just met me. He just met big brother Aurelius. Yet. He knew exactly what I needed, and what big brother Aurelius needed from me. Don't you think that's strange?"
"I know it's strange. It was something about a vibe. I want to do that too," Aransae took a step back, trying to read Eve's vibe. She noticed the smile in her eyes, but he wasn't sure of what kind, "Nope. No idea."
Eve raised her arms, waiting for him while he stared at her. He stepped into her arms, falling down on the bed, feeling her warmth in his arms. She pressed her head against his chest, "I need to apologise to you first. I saw your memories...of our past life...but I never connected with them. And then the grief of everything that happened. I never came to accept it."
"I don't mind."
"I do," Eve climbed on his body, straddling his waist, "we three traveled together. What do you think we were to each other? Sir Aransae?"
Aransae lay on his back, feeling her palm on his cheek. He pressed his palm over hers, "Friends?"
Eve smiled, shaking her head, "try again."
"Best friends?"
Eve shook her head again, "that was you and big brother."
Aransae looked at her as she leaned in, whispering in his ear, "family...we were family."
"Family..." Aransae blinked. That wasn't what he was expecting to hear. Eve chuckled. She gently planted a kiss on his lips as she pulled him along. She lay down on the bed, guiding him on top of her. His hands wandered over her body as she sighed in relief. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into another kiss.
Aransae stroked her cheek, "why are you here Eve?"
"For you, Sir Aransae," Eve whispered under her breath, "do you know what made me and big brother Aurum a perfect fit? He always knew what I wanted. And I knew what he wanted. It was hard for others to understand why we did things we did for each other. No one could. Not even why I didn't stop him from nearly killing himself."
"I am sorry..." Aransae lowered his eyes.
"Are you by chance blaming yourself? Please don't. I am grateful for what you did. Or he would have found a way. Trust me, he would have," Eve kissed his lips. She took his palm, interlocking their fingers, "Now, sir Aransae. What do you want? And what can I do for you?"
Aransae turned and lay down on his back, thinking, "the voices...the Dungeon. It wants me to be something else. It wants me to be something that satiates all their desire."
Eve turned towards him, stroking his chest, listening to him, "And...?"
"And I want to be me. Miss Eve...more I feel like myself...more dead I feel. I am struggling against the Dungeon. Fighting it. It is obvious. From the beginning. It was my will that suppressed the Dungeon, and this struggle made me lose myself. Now, I am trying to regain myself while fighting the Dungeon...it's...stupid. Bound for failure..."
"I see," Eve closed her eyes, letting out a smile, "that makes things simpler."
"Simpler?" Aransae glanced towards her.
Eve sat up, resting her palm between her breasts, "give 1/3rd of it to me, and 1/3rd of it to big brother Aurelius."
"No, would you even be able to take it? It's too dangerous."
"No, it's not," Eve took his palm, "You have out of the world will. We are from the same world, aren't we? Big brother Aurelius has incredulous mental powers. He could use his sheer mind to control others. Even shut out the Dungeon voices, and peek in your mind. I am confident that my incredible attribute is my charm. Big brother Aurum's...well, his was everything."
"That's why Sir Aransae. You should try to find more people like us. Or you can train them. Those who have gone beyond the limits of the worlds, the outliers. They should be able to take more just a few fumes of the Dungeon Energy. They should be able to take off the chucks on Dungeon's burden on you. Starting with me, and big brother Aurelius. And trust me. I know you know these people. Like you kept coming back to us."
"There must have people you went to...even when it made no sense."
Aransae raised his head, thinking back, "I only went back to one...Saeko. But Issei and Vali...the dragons in them. They are not ready yet."
"I am, we are," Eve sweetly smiled, "Please allow us to help you."
Aransae gave a thoughtful nod, "Ok, let's give it a test drive. I am not giving you 1/3rd yet..."
He leaned towards her, planting a gentle kiss on her lips. The Dungeon Energy burst out from him, starting to corrupt and destroy the Dungeon space around them. He planned to stop when the energy started rushing towards her, and both of them heard the voice of the Dungeon.
[???]
[Dungeon is experiencing changes.]
[Dungeon is being invaded.]
[A ??? is gazing at the Dungeon.]
[HE wishes to meet you. ]
[Dungeon(%@$*@#(@#]
"You talk too much."
Aransae felt a blank. Everything around him changed. He floated in nothingness, blankly staring at the King Chess Piece in something's hand, "For Dungeon to take shape of a King Piece. I love it. Although all the chaos inside it ruins it."
"You feel familiar."
"Do I? We are yet to meet. Old friend."
"Old friend?" Aransae tilted his head, "What brings you here?"
"I should have come when you opened the Pandora's Chest by making Eve and Aurum's statues. I decided against it. Not to muddy the timeline too much. Only you went and did the insane thing."
"You made an Absolute Event a part of the Dungeon. Opening the New Timeline. Now, everything that has already happened will happen again. That's why I am here to warn you. Make an army. An army of the worlds. Gather the sharpest, smartest, strongest, train them, hone them, raise them. And when you think it is enough. Do it all over again."
"They are coming."
"You are not ready."
"And if you survive it all..."
HE shook the Dungeon before throwing it back to Aransae, who watched it entered inside of him, "then we will meet for the first time. At the Eve of New Beginning."
"Sir Aransae?"
Aransae shook it off, gazing into Eve's worried eyes, muttering, "Eve of new beginning...? Eve of...New beginning..."
"Oh...ohhh...I shouldn't have done that...should I?"
He looked towards his palm that started to fade away, along with the world around him, "Ohh. I really shouldn't have done that."
