Jason awoke, buried in blankets on a large soft bed in a dark room that no light seemed to be able to enter. He reached up to his chest to feel for the holes in his body, but found nothing. For a moment, he thought that he could be back on Earth and all of what happened over the last month had all just been a dream. A hand suddenly caressing his thigh over the sheets and the feel of two fleshy masses touching his left arm banished that illusion. This would never happen to him back on Earth. He heard a feminine voice groan into his ear and her breath softly brush over his neck. About to say something another body came rolling into his. This one was even more presumptuous letting a leg and arm drape over his right side. He was worried about what had happened and his condition. Obviously, he had been moved to where ever he was and there were two of them. There was no telling what they’d do to him he made a fuss and if he did what match would he be fore them. The pair of hands roaming his body started both making their way towards his crotch.

Shooting up, sitting upright Jason shouted, “What the hell is going on here?” the blood draining from his brain, letting his his instinct take over. And his instincts were always anti-social or idiotically heroic. It’s hard to say what this qualified as.

The two beside him woke up and rolled out of bed. He couldn’t see what they were doing, but they did take the sheets with him, leaving him cold and naked. He could hear them both move towards the foot of the bed. A door opened and he could see one of them devoid clothes exit while the other, wrapped in a sheet, dug into a nearby table. The door shut and the light flooding in ceased. “Ow!” Something metallic dropped to the floor. The sound of her kneeling and searching on the ground could be heard. Jason heard a tink and then a rolling noise followed by a thud. The bed shook. “Damn it!” He just sat there stunned unable to figure out what to make of what was going on. “Fuck it! Close your eyes,” he heard the woman say followed by stomping footsteps across the room. Several sounds of the woman jumping and swiping at something could be heard. Eventually something was flicked and light poured in instantly from all directions.

The woman could now be seen through the light shining in Jason’s flash blinded eyes. She was bent over, clearly exhausted from trying to open the blinds. He could see that she had a slender figure through the bunched up sheets, and long caramel hair that went down to her hips and bent over, it touched the ground. She was short. Maybe she was another type of humanoid alien like Hanshi, but she could also just be a short human. Jason could imagine that given the opportunity humanity might try to get rid of ‘little’ people. Despite the earlier cursing, present condition, and not being able to see her face Jason got the impression that she was very elegant and had the aura of that of a little miss. She began to recover when the door burst open once more.

In walked Hanshi. She left the door open for all the world to see him. Luckily for him, it didn’t look like there was any outside the door, but it’s the principle of the matter that you do not expose someone to the opportunity to be gawked at. The little miss hurried out of the room before seeing the woman’s face, but now he was more concerned with the leering eyes and grinning lips of Hanshi. He quickly covered himself with his hands and sat crossed legged. His embarrassment was writ large over his face once more.

“Do you need a minute to deal with morning tasks?” she asked, knowing it would blush even more. “I or one of the girls here could help out if you don’t feel you’ve recovered enough. we have excellent methods of helping one recover after a rough penetrative experience.”

“Can’t you stop doing that? And where are my clothes?”

“That wouldn’t be any fun,” she said plopping down on the bed. “Don’t be such a prude. You’re ARMS are on the night table. After you were ravaged I healed you enough to keep you alive, but it took a bit to get you back to 100%. You’re the one that chose to sleep for the last few days while in perfect health.”

Jason dashed to the night table and grabbed the ARMS unit, slapping it on his chest. Instantly he was clothed and more comfortable. Getting off the bed he went around to the front and was going to leave, but as he approached the door he saw that the next room was filled with naked women. He instinctively turned his back, bringing him back to looking at Hanshi who was directly in front of him, leg crossed, reclining, letting her weight rest on her arms which thrust her already sizable bosom out a bit forward making them stand out and look that much larger. Jason found this to be an unsurprising sight, but still an amazingly erotic position to be confronted. Hanshi just smiled, her eyes closing as she chuckled at the reaction from the toyed with boy. He didn’t have a clue how to react. He couldn’t leave without going through the room of naked ladies, but he certainly didn’t want to be here with Hanshi right here right now.

“You like my brothel?” she asked him.

“Wh-what were they doing sleeping with me?”

“Are you saying you didn’t like waking up next to sexy ladies? What strange male you are. Multiple reasons, if you must know, but primarily they were there to watch over you and come get me when you woke up. Got a problem with that?”

“N-no. I just.... Wait, Yes, I do have a problem with that, but not that reasoning!”

Hanshi shrugged and ignored replying to his protestation. “We have some things to discuss. What happened out there was not normal. I have never seen those things and there hasn’t been any reports of them before. Are you sure those don’t come from your world?” Hanshi asked him seriously.

“I’m certain. They’re similar to fictional creatures we have, Goblins, but those aren’t real.”

“The overlords might be doing something new. We should keep our ears open for anything similar happening. Anyways, the fact you’ve done as well as you have, I want to offer you the chance. I want to train you so that we can both reach a higher level in the Arena.”

“Why’d I want to do that? And I have to save Gael. Is she alright? How long have I been out?” he was flustered by her proposal.

“She’s fine. We still have time before anything happens to her. Look. If you do what I want you’ll be able to free her. It’s a win-win. You learn from me. You grow stronger. You get money. You free the damsel. After that point you can continue on however you like. If you die or decide to stop training under me I’ll have lost some time. It’s been 300 years, I don’t want to wait longer, but I can.”

Jason’s jaw slackened, “A 300 year old woman has been teasing me for 4 days now…”

“Well about 2 weeks. What can I say, little boys are cute when they’re flustered.”

“I don’t know whether to be creeped out or mind blown”

“We can talk about training to blow things as well if you’d like, but considering the dungeon run, I’m not sure you need advice in that area,” she stuck out her tongue at him.

“Oh yeah, I saw you stabbed straight through. I thought you were done for… ”

“Not sure the translator would choose the right word for it. I’m a synthetically created intelligence within a mechanical frame overlayed with bio-synthetics to replicate organic appearance and functionality primarily for home use, specifically in the mating habits of a member of an extinct species.”

“You’re a sexbot?!” Jason was surprised, but things started to make sense to him about her personality.

“That’s one of the ways to put it. I’m really surprised that you Humans look so similar to them. Shorter, but very similar. The J`nkians don’t like us all that much because we look similar to one of their deities, but we’re synthetic and killed off the organics on our world. They take it as somewhat blasphemous.”

“Wait. Wait. Wait. You’re telling me that there was a robot uprising on your world that killed off your creators that just so happened to look Human and you’re telling me this while asking me to trust you… I think your social programming needs some work.” Jason was stunned by the revelation, but he was also scared. He began planning to get out here and as fast he could to some place far away and definitely more secure than in front of this murderous machine.

Hanshi grinned, “So you’re saying you want to get inside me and flip my switches. And here I thought you’d never proposition me.”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“I’m sure. I’m sure. And I didn’t have anything to do with the genocide of the Rucono. I was lucky to have survived. If they had given us a chance we would have fought on their side. We’d have fixed their mistake that they overlooked, but they feared us because of the others so they killed us. I never killed a single creature till I came here abandoned by a people that because of me now likely thrive.”

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Jason said. He stopped thinking of ways to escape and instead began thinking of her more sympathetically.

“Well, that’s life for you kid,” Hanshi replied. “Look, do you want to do this or not? The longer we beat around the bush, although you may like doing that, the more time we waste.”

“What exactly are you trying to accomplish?” he asked.

“When they time comes I’ll tell you. You just need to decide whether you want to learn from me and then save your girlfriend. After that, we can talk about the next stage.”

Jason thought about that. He didn’t see the downside of having Hanshi teach him. She clearly knew more about this world than he and an android that has lived 300 years probably has picked up some tricks that he could use. Plus it wasn’t a bad idea to have a murder bot on your side when things went wrong. Jason made up his mind to accept. The worst that could happen is that he failed and they all died, but at this moment that seemed the likely result of any decision and whether he succeeded or failed.

“Alright, I’ll do it, but I should probably go report back to my friend that everything is ok, before we get started. They’ll be worrying about me.” He was sure that Rina wouldn’t be too worried yet. It had only been a few days or week since he’d told her he was going to be gone for a bit, but he wanted to make sure to check in on her whenever he could. If not for her sake, then for his. He could pass on information and information about his whereabouts. One day it may save his life for her to know. It was another thing that couldn’t hurt to do, just in case.

“Are you two timing your girlfriend? I thought two girls was a bit much for you from your earlier reaction but now it seems that you weren’t mad because there were women in your bed, but that there were too few!”

Jason sighed as he face palmed, thinking to himself, “She’s gotta eventually run out of innuendos. Just deal with it for now.”
