《Afterlife - Next World's Auction House》Dreams... of the future
Advertisement
With the dawn of a new day shining brightly on me, I surprisingly woke up after a rather… intense session. First things first, I didn’t know I was still able to sleep and dream, so this could possibly become a new recreational activity.
Second, my two hands were currently – against my will, mind you – holding tightly the two girls beside me. For Mia, my right hand was under her back and at the same time under her t-shirt/blouse between her voluptuous breasts, while for Alexa my left hand was also under her and even more boldly… in her pants resting on her supple bottom.
Seeing that neither of them woke up already, I sighed in relief and slowly and silently removed them (but obviously only after cooping another feel or two), preparing to make a run for it and pretend that nothing happened. To my utmost despair, the moment I stood up from the bed, the two girls also woke up looking more disheveled and a couple of shades more red than usual.
“There’s no way in hell they were asleep… Shit! Did I just molest them while not awake to properly enjoy it!? I mean... With that dream flaring up my lust, there’s no way I can’t help it since it’s been a while, but I hope they are aware that I was sleeping and didn’t do it consciously. I mean I would love to, but I still have some decency and it’s 100% not the time for that to happen yet.”
Therefore, I gulped loudly and decided to rely on my thick skin, once more pretending nothing happened.
“Good morning! Did you girls sleep well?”
Okay, I admit… not the best freaking question I could have went with, but it’s the only one I was able to come up with. The reaction to it… some weak nods and the inability to meet my eyes.
I even thought for a moment that I should say something among the lines ‘don’t worry, as I will take responsibility for my actions’, but even without my chaos senses, I knew that was a bad idea.
“Right, Mia! Did Andrea say anything about breakfast?” – I asked awkwardly trying to shift the topic
[…yes Michael… She will try out her skills and use the potatoes to recreate some recipes I have suggested. She will most likely go for fries and fried meat. Since we saved the animal fat like you requested, it is a good replacement for cooking oil.](Mia)
“That’s great to hear. I’m looking forward to it then. Alexa, how do you feel after yesterday’s workout? How do you think the rest will react to it?”
[…yes… I am feeling go… all right! For the rest I cannot really tell since there is a difference in attributes between us. Michael, you are actually closer to them in that regard… so if you have any type of muscular pains, they might as well.](Alexa)

“I see…”
I somehow managed to hold in the dirty joke I was about to tell and used the two buckets we were given per house, to go and bring some water from the small creek running through the clearing for the girls.
On my way there, I saw multiple guys doing the same (after another group huddle with them I instructed them to try and keep the houses clean and bring water for the ladies in the morning). If there was something even an idiot could notice, was the fact that all of them were grinning ear to ear, unable to remain serious even when greeting me.
“These virgins just became men…” – I thought while sadly thinking about my situation
I did my best to ignore them (while thinking about creating required morning practice for every elf dude in the camp, just so I can torture them out of their current state of happiness) and headed back to my home. Only one thought remained in my mind along the way…
“What are we going to do if the girls remain pregnant?” – I unintentionally said aloud
The two girls froze, then blushed furiously and then looked at my hands with the intent to chop them off. I realized my mistake and since I had no way to back out, I just went ahead with it, once more counting on my thick skin.
“I just saw guys smiling like idiots outside, meaning that they had sex with the girls 100%. We don’t have doctors, or even a midwife! How are we going to deliver the babies?”
[Michael, I do not think that is going to be a problem. Right Alexandra?](Mia)
[…](Alexa)
Seeing her only nodding in response and blushing even further, I realized that there might be something I am unaware of. I waited for her to calm down and gather her courage patiently.
[…the elf women can only remain pregnant during the Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival…](A)
Hearing the ridiculous piece of news, I looked shocked at Mia who nodded and continued the explanation.
[Apparently, in elven culture only during the Spring Festival can they celebrate life by creating new one and just as well, during the Autumn Festival life is given in order bring back the life to the dying nature.](Mia)
“…”
Basically, the elven girls were on the pill all year-round except for those two festivals? Speaking of which?
“???”
[The Spring Festival would be around the 22 March back on Earth, while the Autumn Festival would be close to 23 September. They correspond with the spring equinox and the winter equinox.](Mia)
I began contemplating the lascivious lifestyle my civilization will have because of this. Not only do I personally created the option to have a harem for them, but also gave them access to sex pretty much the entire year without consequences.

Wait! Since we are talking about elves right now, are there differences between them and humans?
“What about the pregnancy duration?”
[It is shorter than human pregnancy by half. In addition, the offspring will grow up fast. In just a month or so, their bodies and minds become those of an adult and they stop aging for a while, depending on their total lifespan.](Mia)
“Administrator?”
[Yes…](Mia)
Of course, that useless game God has a hand in this. Nevertheless, wouldn’t a Goddess of Love or a God of Life be stupidly overpowered in that case? I mean, imagine them getting the elves… Their population will increase at an alarming rate!
The most important thing on my mind right now, was to prepare for the arrival of these children. Not only did they grow up fast, but also if they are anything like their parents, they will absorb the knowledge like a proper sponge. I need to set up a proper safe camp ASAP and advance quickly through some eras and Ages.
I kept mulling over the unexpected information I received and began worrying badly. Even the pleasant breakfast did not make me happier given that I really needed to hurry up the speed with which my civilization developed. Seeing everyone eating with glee and conversing without a worry, I instantly wanted to ruin their good mood…
“Everybody…”
And I stopped... Realizing that something was wrong with my thought process, I quickly analyzed what I just intended to do and the reason behind it, almost face-palming as a result. I didn’t realize up to this point, but this chaotic disposition is exactly like its name implies… chaotic as fuck!
“…we just started our eight day of our new lives! Not only that, but we must look forward to a future that belongs not only to us, but also to our children, grandchildren and even our great-grandchildren. I will not lie to you and say that everything is well and we will surely survive anything this world throws at us, because I do not have a way of knowing that. However, if I am certain of something, is that if we work together, we will be able to achieve anything we set up as our goal! Therefore, for today, the said goal will be to create the Wall, Granary and the Warehouse! I hope everyone will work hard as every chore is just as important as the other!”
A loud wave of cheers followed, drowned soon after by the system’s cold and asexual voice reminding me that I just finished eating.
+3 Endurance points received! +2 Intelligence points received! +1 Luck point received!
I was quite impressed by the impromptu speech I just delivered and the fact that I pretty much put pressure on the people that had sex last night in a very subtle way. What!? Of course, I am pissed… After all, I am supposed to be a freaking God, however my followers banged before I was able to.
Is not like I couldn’t do the same, but I would literally start to question my mental sanity if I would admit that I want to have sex with the look alike combination of the woman that killed me and the woman (deity) that made me realize that I might have a foot fetish. Then there was Alexandra…
Do not get me wrong (again)! There is absolutely nothing wrong with her, on the contrary! She is excessively good looking for someone like me. Nevertheless, I know her type from back on Earth… She is going to need affection and attention, which I was not able to provide back then (so the girls called me a cold sociopath incapable of showing human emotions…) and most likely I might not be able to provide here either. I mean yeah, I will be able to sleep in the same bed with her, have sex and whisper sweet words… But when it comes to going out on dates and… going out on dates… dates!?
“I’m in the fucking Stone Age! Where the fuck would I go on a date? Sightseeing a dungeon in the glowing red color of the sun (as well as the monster blood scattered all around us)? Or maybe a ferry ride across the ocean (as soon as I move from the point where I can fucking build something different than a raft…)? Jokes aside, is very likely that if I do have sex with her and I create the beginning of my harem with Alexandra included in it, she will want a child… Do I mind that? I won’t really even get to be a father, as after a month I’ll pretty much graduate from the chore and the little fucker will have to fend for himself if he’s a guy, or I’ll have to beat the shit out of some other guys coming for my daughter if she’s a girl.”
With a newfound goal in mind to become a father, I could tell that I walked towards the dungeon diving unit with a slight spring in my steps.
The eight guys were surprisingly calm, while the girls looked… surprisingly relaxed. For Reaper’s sake! This is totally a post-coitus atmosphere!
“Alright you lot! Grab your weapons and get ready! We are running laps with them on today! Get moving!”
Just because I decided to have sex in the future, did not mean that I was okay with the fact that these fuckers had their fun before I did…
