Walking Disasters and Me

Three full days pass before the door sealing us within our first ever group session creakily swings forward. A conga line of thoroughly exhausted, utterly disheveled, and blissfully satisfied women walking through the threshold on wobbly legs. Steamy and Heavenly images of our grouping flashing before me on repeat while being gingerly carried in the arms of a absolutely wrecked Akiko~.

The way Gerra screamed and convulsed in raptured paradise underneath my thanks for her initial efforts. Jun Li and I switching to a softer affair, bodies embraced and breasts meshed together while suffering the unending and undivided attention of the others. Heady moans of delight pulling from our lips broken by kisses as we rock from the rhythmic motions caused by tails and fingers alike.

Of me again returning the favor for the first session, but this time for Akiko as she and I switch places. The assembled group masterfully working her to peak after peak while I stroked her hair and stole her lips between gasping breaths. Another change as Sam rested her head between my legs while Gerra straddled my face, Jun Li and Akiko lazing on each other with gentle movements between each other's legs as they watched on~.

Positions and poses switched and created to accommodate the mass of bodies. Tongues and hands tasting and feeling every surface of skin, every nook and cranny, of all those present. To make sure the dual technique worked for all of them - I reasoned - I directly made sure to make each of them slip into bliss from me at least once. For science and thoroughness, of course~. Though the reprisals were often swift and just as thorough~. Seeing my personal orgasm count in the system easily reaching over 300, I'd say they were quite successful in returning the favor~.

One of the absolute best parts of the whole affair was when I finally gained enough sanity to turn my attention back to poor Ios who had been stuck in the cuck chair the whole time. Well, at least for those first couple rounds. I scooped her up after levying a long, drawn-out wrestling of our tongues, plopping both of us on the far side of the bed while I pressed her back into my chest.

After telling the girls to keep putting on a show, I hooked my ankles around Ios' and spread her open. My hand coming down to help her continue what she was doing on the chair as I pressed my cheeks against hers lovingly. Whispering sweet words and placing loving kisses on her as she unraveled from our combined efforts and the view. A front row seat to carnal exaltation that drove me wild to witness as I made sure the poor woman had no regrets about having to abstain from joining in. For now~.

It also worked to encourage her to get started on fixing that problem as well as the blushed, ruined faces of the others constantly stared back to her in obvious want amidst their throes of passion~. A fond smile crossing my lips as I think back to words spoken to my mind at that time, 'Shit... I've got to start cultivating...'

The boldness which had been so fleeting and farfetched so far in my sexual repertoire truly shined in those sex scented scenes. The alluring call of control as tempting as it was intoxicating, especially when Gerra and Akiko seemed eager to fulfill my budding desires. Though Gerra liked to switch back directly afterwards for some 'payback', I can tell she loved being with me - and the others - regardless of her position on the mattress.

Not to say I wasn't on my back most of the time though~. It seemed every single one of them loved nothing more than to tease and torture me every opportunity they could get while they ascended my mind into nirvana. Something I was always more than happy to let them do to me~. But switching it up every now and again became something... more for me during this time. The power, and thrill, and pride at making them come undone from my tongue or my rocking hips or my fingers doing more than just satisfying my all-consuming lust in spades.

It gave me confidence. Right down to my soul. An unspoken promise assuredly spoken to my being that not only do I love these women immensely, they also love me back without question. Not that I was doubting either of those things in the slightest of course, but the sheer finality of it - the certainty - now coalesces through every vein, pore, and bone in my body. Through every cycled thought and memory. Through every whisper of my spirit. Reinforced beyond measure by the pressing of skin and lips and the showering of love both metaphysical and liquid~.

Not to mention confidence in my skills in the bedroom as well~. Sure, there were some learning moments to be had both for me and for them. Especially true for when I was learning how to act in the 'support' role. But knowing I could either satisfy each and every one of them to completion and beyond or help in doing so was just... My soul shivers in prideful bliss at the thought turned fact. Something that, even though I've achieved those results previously in one-on-one sessions, was apparently weighing on me a tad when it came to how it would play out with everyone present. But trusting my instincts and listening to their words and bodies, as always, was the right decision~.

As for the effects of the dual cultivation technique? To say it was addicting would be a shameful understatement. My mind was so locked in after the first [Oroborogasm] that I didn't really notice, but every subsequent release after that seemed to fill my soul. In a break between sets, I took a peek at my flow model and was shocked to see the differences. Subtle, but undeniable. A soft rearranging of meridians, channels, even the placement of the soul and dantian. All of it screaming harmony and perfection the likes which I would be hard pressed to replicate.

And the lightness! Jun Li did a wonderful job clearing me of impurities in the onsen, but the weightless cleanliness of my being that came with each moaned breath is unreal. And, like the skill said, every single one of them experienced the same effects. The changes enough that even someone like me who is only just starting out can feel the nearly explosive swelling of power radiating from each of them, their strength night and day different when compared to their pre-orgy selves.

And while I didn't have a drastic imbalance of Yin and Yang yet, even I can tell how much more in tune with myself and my energies I am now. Something that of course also is shared by those who spent such a wonderous time with me~.

On top of all that, the points now sitting in the bank are almost enough to make me shiver out in delight every time I see them~.

Available Ability Points: 143,390

Available Shop Points: 281,800

Available Skill Points: 39,640

My mental rumblings are broken by a few soft giggles from the women around me as I look around, bed headed hair whipping to and fro as I try to see what's so funny. Me, as it turns out, as all of them are sending me cheeky smiles with their own various states of unkempt hair. The hallway I was viewing while I thought now suddenly replaced with the entrance to the onsen.

Before my embarrassment as well as curiosity can rise too high, Ios chuckles from the side. "It's so cute when you get lost in your head, sweetheart~. We've been asking if you can walk yet or if Akiko needs to hold you still~."

"S-sorry." I reply somewhat sheepishly as I turn back up to Akiko who just shakes her head with a knowing smile. "P-probably best to keep carrying me. I still cant feel my legs, haha~."

The smile on the snowy kitsune deepens as she replies with mirth in her eyes, "An understandable predicament~. The fact you are still conscious after what you did to us, and we to you, is already a minor miracle~. Do not fret, my love, we will take extra special care with washing your body free of our scents~."

With a nervous gulp and a flicker of a promise, we lose yet another half day to ecstasy~. Moans and gasps rising on the steam and rippling off the herbal waters. As the sun crests past the purposeful hole in the roof above, we exit into the estate proper once again. And once again I am carried in Akiko's arms. A considerably more limp noodle aspect to my form now. How these monsters can still keep going after 72 hours of fucking is just insane!!

As we exit the onsen, the girls come to give me farewell kisses as they separate to their own devices for the remainder of the day. A pleased, satisfied glint to every set of eyes that levy their soft lips to mine until it is just Akiko, Ios, and myself traipsing through the halls.

Already, the missing presence of the others saddens me. A kind of instant longing for their presence that both Ios and Akiko pick up on as my carrier softly says, "We shall all be reunited soon, my darling girl~. They merely must get presentable and then aid in preparations for the announcement."

I send her a confused look and tilt to my head, a beat of love passing between the bond as she takes in my antics and explains further. "Cute~. Your presence in the Village will be announced come sundown where we shall have a feast with the Branch Leaders and such. After the public gathering, that is. I was correct in that your being here - even though your identity is still unknown - was at least disseminated to nearly the entirety of the populace rather quickly."

Huh. How did she even find that out if we've been locked in a pleasure basement for three days, I wonder? Seeing my muddled face continue to exist, she interprets my thoughts and continues further, "I received mental notifications that Julian, Fei, and X'Cos arrived earlier than expected. Yesterday evening, in fact. I replied back the necessary orders for them to orchestrate the event in a days time while also sharing the news with the girls. And yourself, but I believe you were still 'on cloud-9' at the time~."

Honestly, that tracks. I can't even try and search my memories properly right now due to the overbearing pink filter that lays over every tantalizing image and muffled moan~. Akiko exhales a bit of breath in amusement as I shake my head and she continues walking. Presumably leading me back to my room so I can get changed as well. I nuzzle into her soft body and enjoy the lift, my prediction coming true a few minutes later as the sliding wooden door to a familiar space closes behind us.

"I would suggest," Akiko begins as she softly sets me down on my bed, "that you wear the training robe that we gave you upon your arrival here. Or, a similarly lower enchanted garment."

A questioning look rises to both Ios and I's face as she explains with a shake of her head, "Jun Li has done an excellent job rooting out several spies and informants from other powers in the Village at large, but there simply wasn't enough time to guarantee that she was able to complete the task. The possibility that some more intelligent agents went to ground successfully before they could be discovered is high enough that caution is warranted. And, if they did so, then there is no doubt they have either heard of your presence here from gossiping lips or felt it when you unlocked your spiritual sense."

I frown a bit at the reminder, a seemingly innocuous attempt to learn something on my own that still had a... less than ideal outcome. Even if I learned it super early, as well as super quickly. Akiko raises up my face which had lowered to inspect the ground in shame as she gives me a gentle smile. "It is well, my love. I only mentioned it to explain my reasonings, not to admonish you further. In any other circumstance, learning that skill at your level would be commendable beyond measure. But I hope you now see my worries."

"So," Ios chimes up as she plops into a chair at the table, "you think someone is going to try something at the gathering? Or just be in the crowd to gather information to send back after being incommunicado for so long?"

A bit of unease washes over me before Akiko thoughtfully answers back to Ios, "I feel both are a possibility, but the second is the much more likely candidate. Attacking or causing a scene with essentially the full might of the Village present is suicidally reckless, even for assassins or spies. However, due to how... eclectic the rooted-out agents were in regard to origin, full motives are hard to parse at the moment. Regardless, the chances of a ruckus or endangerment of the citizens drops precipitously if Amelia were to be clad in simple, non-attention attracting robes..."

She pauses for a moment as she eyes the two silver bands on the table. "As well as not in possession of immensely powerful artefacts." I can't help but frown a tad at the thought of essentially showing up to this thing completely vulnerable. Sure, my stats are insane and I can probably hold my own power wise against anyone in this whole city. Maybe even Akiko, at least for a minute or so. Though that option is as ridiculous as it is unsure, since I've never seen her techniques and such.

"What about during the feast?" I ask out warily, drawing both of their attention back to me. "Will the prying eyes still be an issue then? Surely the Branch Leaders can be trusted at this point, after you laid down the law and purged some of them. Especially since they'll likely be able to sense my power if they're going to be close by anyway, at least somewhat. I'd honestly rather not be so... exposed in front of so many people. Not after all the words of caution and warning about revealing myself."

Akiko thankfully gives my words a fair few moments of reflection before Ios' sing-song voice sways in with an idea. "Well, what if Akiko put your dress and [Mercurial Weapons] in her ring? Then, after whatever presentation to the masses, you two can slip inside and change into them before the wining and dining?"

The thought seems to have merit in the kitsune's eyes, nodding her head in acceptance as her tails swish behind her. "A wonderful idea, my friend~! If you would be amenable to it that is, Amelia?"

It's my turn to go back to humming in thought as I reply, "There won't be an issue because the bands are bonded to my soul, right? It won't like, shatter your storage ring or anything?"

"No, there should be no complications. So long as no other person attempts to bond with them, merely moving into a liminal space is fine for both the storage container and the bonded object." Akiko shakes her head and says.

Finally, a sigh of relief escapes me as I just give Akiko a nod which she returns easily before walking over to the table. In a flash of Qi, the bands are stored in her ring and then walks over to where the battle dress is haphazardly still laying on the ground. I uh... really should probably clean huh. Memories of waking up in my old room before meeting Sandy in the Meadow the first time come back to mind, and I begrudgingly admit that it seems my laziness about cleaning has survived the trip between worlds.

Surely there's like... a skill or something that can just take care of it right? I mean, they have cleaning talismans for dirty clothes and bodies and stuff. Why not one that just... cleans a room?

'You would seriously rather spend shop points to buy - or take up time to make - a talisman that just cleans your room instead of... cleaning your room? Wow, that's incredible~.' Ios smarms into my brain with a teasing tone.

In a heartbeat~, I smarm back to her while mentally sticking out my tongue. Not sure if that last part translated, but I feel that it did. And that makes me feel good about doing it~.

Ios laughs amusedly at the back and forth before Akiko comes back holding the training robe. Which *Ahem* was also laying on the floor...

"Love, I know that times have been beyond chaotic lately, but you really must strive to maintain order in your surroundings. It does not do the mind well to live in such abysmal conditions. At the very least, you should not be leaving your clothes strewn about all over the floor. You may not have a ring, but you have a storage bag for such a purpose." Her tone is that critical hit of disappointing and motherly, the kind that instantly makes me look away in a shameful blush.

"O-okay. I just forget about the bag half the time..." Both Ios and Akiko give me a look. "F-fine!! Most of the time!! It's a huge ass satchel bag! I don't wanna carry it everywhere!" I say as I throw my arms up in the air, my voice not exactly immature but... not far off from it...

"Heavens above, Aims." Ios chuckles before miming throwing me something. I look at her weirdly before a system text box opens up in my mind:

[Medium Storage Ring (Mid Earth Rank)] Cost: 250 Shop Points

[Medium Storage Ring (Mid Earth Rank)]: A ring holding a spatial compartment that has 100 x 100 cubic feet in volume. The user can use Qi to activate the ring and will it to store any object or item inside itself provided there is available space for it to fit.

Oh... I guess that would work. Wait, why haven't I done this yet?! I deactivate Luck and then make the purchase.

You have purchased [Medium Storage Ring (Mid Earth Rank)] for 250 Points!

Available Shop Points: 285,950

An unadorned pure silver ring plops into my hand as Luck reactivates, though it doesn't look wide enough to actually... you know... fit on my finger. It's probably got some funky Qi magic to solve that issue though, and as I raise it up to fit on my left hand's middle finger. That way when I flip someone off in the future, it can be in style~.

Ios once again chuckles at my thoughts as the ring indeed shifts to perfectly fit onto the offered finger, sliding into place as I close my eyes and focus Qi into it. Feeling the connection hit, I then turn and focus my gaze down to the assorted loose clothing on the ground. All the various garments and underwear poofing into the magical space in a blink of an eye. Easy peasy~!

"Excellent~." Akiko hums approvingly at the now much more orderly space before holding out her ring and depositing the battle dress and [Mercurial Weapon] pair onto the bed which I then deposit into my new ring. "I shall go and prepare as well. It is not often that I bother with makeup and the like, but I feel this situation more than warrants that extra touch~. I will come fetch you both in half an hour's time."

Holy shit... Akiko is already a smoke show even with bed head. Just how devastatingly attractive is she going to be after putting on something as simple as eyeliner?? A blip of pink slips between the bond between us making Akiko smirk. Her smiling lips leaning down to give me a parting kiss, giving me a wink as she breaks away to give Ios a little hug and peck on the top of her head as well. A new closeness now settling between the two after our three days locked in together~.

"I shall see the both of you soon~." The snowy kitsune charms while giving us a little wave at the door, sliding it closed behind her as her footfalls echo down the hall.

Ios only shakes her head in her own smile as she turns back to me, "I'm with you honey, I don't think the world is ready to see that sexy fox all dolled up~. I wonder how many people are just going to straight up faint when they see her~. Hehe~."

It's my turn to laugh as the heat begins to rise to my face at the mental image of Akiko going all out. "At least a few I'd wager~. Well, should we do the same? Or try to stay as incognito as possible?"

"Hmm..." Ios ponders as she starts putting on her own similarly non-eye-catching clothing, "Probably best to stay as off the radar as we can for now. Let the crowd gawk and focus on Akiko. Hopefully any prying eyes will also stay on her instead of you as well. At least for the most part."

"Makes sense." I reply simply. Plus, that means I don't have to bother with putting anything on, so that's always a bonus~. I get dressed about the same time Ios finishes getting ready herself, both of us deciding to lounge on the couch until Akiko comes back to fetch us.

In the intervening time, Ios turns to me with a small, worried look on her face. I give her a questioning head tilt before she replies to the unspoken question, "You remember the quest to integrate into the harem, right?" I nod as she continues. "Well, there was an added 'reward' for getting everyone to be your lovers that I didn't put in there originally. It was going to be automatic after your first time with Gerra, but I caught it in time to change it to be something you'll have to approve or accept. Here, let me show you."

Her comms box takes up the role as projector as the quest text floats in front of us, my eyes widening at what it says:

[Admin Quest Completed! Integrate into Your New Home!

You're not in Kansas anymore hun! Work hard to make friends here in Akiko's estate. The candidates are Samantha, Gerra, Jun Li, and Akiko~!

Friendship progress: N/A

Lover progress: 4/4]

[Hidden Conditions Met!

For successfully having all four candidates as lovers, you can now choose to make any partners who are not soulbonded to you [Intertwined Souls]!

Make the change now? Yes / No

Option will remain available until 'Yes' is selected.]

Honestly at this point I can't help but just sigh and throw my head back in exasperation. Of course the system is trying to railroad something like this into me. Though it doesn't feel like something the Empress is mucking around with this time at least. I feel like it'd have more of that broken code language if so. At least the concept in general has kind of softened in impact for me ever since Akiko became another soulmate. And after unequivocally feeling just how different my connection with Sandra is even if the title is shared.

"Why am I not surprised." I deadpan up to the ceiling, a small hand coming to wrap into mine and give me a gentle squeeze.

"Yeah..." Ios says softly, a bit of remorse in her tone but not from guilt. More like she's just sad for me for having yet another incomprehensibly wild thing to deal with. I know Sam and I have talked about soulmates and stuff before, at least when it came to Akiko. I remember her being a bit... down about likely never having that kind of connection to someone.

But the other two? Gerra and I have spent the least amount of time together by far simply due to how crazy everything has been. Jun Li and I have talked a bit more, but I don't know if we ever broached the topic of soulmates and how she feels about them...

"Obviously I won't be accepting that right now. And certainly not before having a long, deep talk with everyone about it. For all I know, they may not even want to have that kind of connection with me yet. Well, maybe Sam would, but we have a bit of a different relationship as compared to Gerra and Miss J." I voice out tiredly after staring up at the wooden beams for answers. Their brown hue unhelpfully silent despite my pleas.

Ios squeezes my hand again before replying back in a gentle tone, "I think that's the right way to go about it, sweetie. Like I said, I just wanted to make you aware of it since that's a touchy subject for you."

I pull my gaze away from the roof and give her a small smile which quickly turns into a quick kiss. "Thanks, Ios. I appreciate it."

She nods and tucks into me as we decide to just let the clock tick down. My arm wrapped around her as she rests her head on my chest. A calm peacefulness eventually pushing away the conflicting emotions at the revelation of what she showed me. A restful quiet that eventually gets broken by a knock at the door.

"Amelia? Spirit Ios? It is time for us to depart."
