《Did she already know what I would ask her for?》Ch 8: Masochist
Advertisement
'"Well, let the first one in" Leo gave an order to the maid. Then, she opened the door and a woman entered.'
'[Yei] [Lvl 19 Adventurer] [Human]'
'[(Slave)]'
'"Yei is a 17-year-old girl who lost her parents at an early age, so she earned her living fighting in a labyrinth. She is a level 19 adventurer and is skilled with daggers"'
'Yei has dark brown hair with green eyes and a very beautiful face. She is slim and has moderate-sized breasts. The most outstanding thing about her is her butt, which looks round and smooth. My hands tremble to touch it.'
'"I see you like it, so let's continue with the second one."'
'Yei bowed slightly and then, left the room.'
'The next moment, another woman appeared.'
'[Nise] [Warrior Lvl 21] [Demi Human]'
'[(Slave)]'
'"Nise is 18 years old, she is a demi-human of the cat race. Thanks to her race, she is incredibly fast, her preferred weapon is the sword, being able to detect even the slightest flaw in full body armor. She is a level 21 warrior "'
'Nise has black hair, blue eyes with vertical pupils like a cat, and a very beautiful face. She is of a slim build and, unlike Yei, she has moderate-sized breasts and butt. Still, those cat ears and tail give it several charm points.'
'"you have good eyes. Now, let's continue with the third…"'
'***'
'Leo is a man to be feared.'
'He introduced me to 7 different slave girls and they are all to my taste. None more, none less. Am I too selfish to say I love all of them?'
'Unfortunately, money is not with me.'
'"Each of them is worth 40 gold coins, it is a large sum but also a great investment. They have battle experience and are pure. They also have a submissive personality, you will not have problems with them"'
'In other words, they are virgins huh? Haa… 40 gold coins.'
'"I see… right now I don't have enough money so… I'm sorry"'
'"It's okay, you never said it would be a safe purchase, don't worry."'

'Despite his appearance, Leo is a very professional person. Capable of responding politely to everything and always keeping calm.'
'"Come on, I'll walk you out"'
'"Thanks"'
'If I didn't have the UI, I'd think Leo has the [Holy Knight] class.'
'We quietly left the room and headed to the first floor.'
'"How did you meet Erick?"'
'"I am his client, I sold him a carriage, some weapons and armor"'
'"That's all?"'
'"…Yes"'
'I don't know what relationship he had with Erick, but the best I can do at the moment is to hide the job of identifying empty slots that I have with him. Especially since I don't want to reveal anything about my user interface.'
'"I understand… Next time you come, be sure to ask for me"'
'"Yes, I will do it"'
'We left the mansion and, in front of us, a carriage stopped. From him came down a man who carefully held out his hand to help lower the person inside.'
'The one who accepted his hand was a beautiful woman with blue eyes and long blond hair with curls at the ends. Slim build with large E-cup breasts and outstanding butt. She wears a white blouse with wide sleeves and a long black skirt, which combines very well with her long legs.'
'Elegantly, she stepped down from the carriage.'
'At first glance, she is the perfect woman, taking 10 points in all classifications.'
'[Alessia Addari] [Adventurer Lvl 11]'
'[(Slave) (Masochist Lvl 1)]'
'Wait something must have gotten into my eyes. I swear I saw [Masochist Lvl 1] in her state.'
'Okay, now I've got the fluff off, let's see again.'
'[(Slave) (Masochist Lvl 1)]'
'Perhaps I just discovered a bug in the user interface'
'Let's see again.'
'[(Slave) (Masochist Lvl 1)]'
'Yup, [Masochist Lvl 1], nothing more and nothing less.'
'With my bloodshot eyes, I looked at Leo searching for answers.'
'"Beautiful woman, right? I have little information about her in my hand, but I can tell you that she is a pure woman and has great experience living as an adventurer. I don't know her exact level, I can only say that it is a not inconsiderable level for her 18 years old."'

'she doesn't have any noticeable wounds on her body, so I can tell she's strong. People who reach such a level normally always have scars on their body, even more so, if they start from an early age.'
'"Over 50 gold coins." Leo said.'
'Oh, I guessed. Since Leo does not have detailed information about her, it is expected that this sum will increase several times more. He also didn't mention the most important thing…'
'"Goodbye, Mr. Emir. I have a feeling that we will see each other again"'
'"Bye"'
'We will see each other again? Are you saying that I will fail my knight test?'
'Nah. Leo is not that type of person. Visually he will seem so, but deep inside he is not someone like that.'
'In the Bajamira labyrinth.'
'Chain is a skill that increases loot by defeating monsters of the same type within a time limit. According to Erick's words, on certain occasions, this can give multiple loot or even a rare one.'
'The biggest question is how much exactly is the time limit?'
'If it's only a few minutes, then it's a useless skill in the labyrinth. The separation between the monsters is 5 to 15 minutes this means that between defeating a monster and then the next it will be 5 minutes minimum. That is if the person doesn't get lost in the corridors or doesn't find any monster.'
'But what if it's an hour?'
'Then it will be an incredible ability.'
'[Snow Wolf Lvl 1]'
'There appeared one. With my iron sword in hand, I ran towards the snow wolf.'
'"Crane"'
'Before I got there, it jumped at me. With firm steps, I dodged to the left and then, swung my sword horizontally. It cut the wolf in two and then disappeared with particles of light in the air.'
'Emir: "!!!"'
'[Edge] is an amazing ability I never thought of cutting someone in two horizontally. Although this snow wolf is weakened due to the labyrinth, it is still a not inconsiderable monster. To say that my previous bronze sword could only pierce through it.'
'[Canine]'
'[x1]'
'Mmm?! [x1]?'
'In the upper right part of my vision, a red "x1" appeared moving slowly from side to side. What could it be?'
'Do not tell me…'
'I quickly searched my map for the nearest Snow Wolf. This one is quite far walking, I will reach it in a few minutes, but if I want to check my theory, it is best to take as little time as possible.'
'I started running.'
'[Snow Wolf Lvl 1]'
'Swing my sword.'
'[Canine]'
'[x2]'
'I knew that "x2" indicates the number of monsters I've killed. Unexpectedly, the UI adapted to the chain skill and helped me with the counter. That being the case, I'm sure that the moment the number disappears it will mean that the time limit to continue the chain is over.'
'Sitting on the floor I waited for the number to disappear from my vision.'
'The minutes slowly passed thanks to my map I can be calmer knowing that there is no monster nearby.'
'In 30 minutes, the counter disappeared.'
'"30 minutes… This skill is amazing!!"'
'30 minutes is more than enough to defeat a monster and find the next one. Maybe for someone else it might be a tight time, but that's not the case for me. After all, I own the UI map!'
'"It's time to know the limits of the chain skill"'
'Getting up from the floor I calmly walked in the direction of the nearest Snow Wolf.'
'[Canine]'
'[x1]'
'[Canine]'
'[x2]'
'[Canine]'
'[x3]'
'[Canine]'
'[x4]'
'[Canine]'
'[x5]'
'[Fang x2]'
'[x6]'
'Double loot! A wolf actually dropped two fangs!!'
'"Wuahahaha" With an evil laugh I started to run from the excitement.'
'[Fang x2]'
'[x10]'
'[Fang x4]'
'[x11]'
'Quadruple Loot! Quadruple!!'
'I have never heard of such a thing!!'
'[Fang x4]'
'[x15]'
'[Snow Fur]'
'[x16]'
'A Floor Boss's Loot!'
'A weak snow wolf dropped loot from a floor boss!!'

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?

Synapsis (Liber Telluris Book 2)
Ancient biotechnologies, psychotic satellites, and incomprehensible enemies… The weaponized strain of the genophage—the disease that ravaged the world, turned men into monsters, and ended the Last Era—is in remission, but the effects of its attack on the genes of the Nethress family linger… Tvorh, an adopted Nethress biomage with everything to prove, is tasked by his liege Dorsin to invent a permanent inoculation against infection. At Tvorh’s disposal is an unprecedented resource: a princess of the Last Era, recently released from cryostasis. In this diminished age, her knowledge and power are unmatched. So are her psychoses and power-hunger. When the quest for answers drives Dorsin, Tvorh, and their companions into the deepest wilds of Tellus and the blackest voids beyond it, they will learn the single terrible secret binding synapse to synapse, biomage to genophage, man to Chimera… Past to present. Land to sky. And prey to predator. Because while fractious bloodlines war across Tellus’s surface, the true threat glides unrecognized through the void of space… Heading straight toward Tellus. *** Synapsis is the second book of a biopunk science-fantasy epic inspired by the altered philosophies and weird technologies of Dune, the ever-present familial machinations present in Exalted's Scarlet Empire, and the endless conflict of Warhammer 40K.
