Domina's POV

After the Sho,sho,sho stopped resounding from the background Domina turned his head and looked at the original location the sound had come from.

All demons had the most basic of night visions, making them able to at most discern a siluette in the darkness, helps not bumping into a wall.

Far in the distance there was a bone throne, it was rather small and the one sitting on it was even smaller. The cave itself however was gigantic, even he who was in his giant form right now couldn't touch the top of the cave.

"A doom demon, surely brings back memories, you know my friend used to be a doom demon like yourself, but he didn't like it here and left to the mortal world"

Sho continued talking as if he was reminsing the good old times.

"You know you could stay here as my subordinate but since you don't seem too friendly I will give you another choice, stay here or you can use half of your life force to go to the mortal world, you can also take your subordinates with you, if you have any" Sho said.

Domina was left speachless, in truth he would be delighted if he could return to Allastar, but the cost of half his life force.

'what the fuck is life force?'

Domina nodded and said.

"I wish to leave"

"Leave,leave,leave"

This stupid echo has been going on for a long time now, but mostly the last words were being said making it somewhat strange.

"Alright, since you want to leave we have to make some preparations, you should summon your subordinates, I'm sure they will want to follow you as well"

Sho said, his voice now sounded kind of strange, he sometimes sounded like one person and others like another. It was strange to understand how he looked in the darkness but he didn't really look like a demon.

Suddenly a light shone and a faint magical circle appeared in front of the throne, it was large enough for him and anyone to go through but he didn't even know how summoning subordinates worked, on the other side, they were just Npcs, he didn't really care about them.

The thing however he was rather interested in was the young boy that sat on the bone throne, he had well combed golden hair and crystal blue eyes.

If he didn't know that he was in the demon world he would have thought that he was a human.

"No need to wait, they are probably already dead or scattered in all four directions"

Domina said, it was most likely after all, the demons in his little legion were too frail and unloyal. After all he had just recruited most of them for no more than a month.

"Then how about this, I will give you some time to recruit some of the demons here in the Eione region, after all leaving the demon world without underlings is commiting suicide"

Sho said and threw him a teleportation stone.

"Come back when you have at least four underlings, with your strength and destination, I'm sure you will easily find demons who would like to leave this place"

Sho said and in an instance Domina was teleported away from the Boneyard of a cave.

He was now high in the sky and was falling rapidly, but with one swing of his wings he stabilized himself and begun flying around looking what was all around.

He could see that Eione(A1) Region was Huge, he didn't know from where to begin but He saw many castles and even some cities.

He instantly shrank himself and became more compact, his target was the closest city he had seen from up in the sky.

Of course the Demons in Eione weren't afraid of him, there were plenty of strong demons around, but he couldn't tell their strengths.

How could he chose whom to take, at that moment he finaly remembered that he had psychic powers, or so he thought.

In the end he came to realize a rather disturbing thing, Demons had no soul, they were beings of pure magic power, making them unable to use psychic powers.

He really wanted to face palm himself, in the first place his psychic powers were 50% of his power, but he could still use his guardian status after all he was a level 2 Guardian.

He instantly opened his guardian options and begun scouting the Demons that he saw while flying through the sky, due to his broken stats he could fly all day without any rest.

"Found one!"

Shouted Domina as he saw the stats of someone who was some distance away on the ground.

But when he arrived at the target he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The one he had found was no other than the black devil that had sent him here.

"Oh, master please forgive this forgetful imbecile, I was a bit slow at finding you, so do we go back to our fortress now?"

The black devil said as if it was all something natural, as if he was waiting him all along.

"Wait, I don't like you, fuck I don't even know who you are!"

Shouted Domina furiously.

"But didn't you accept to be the leader of Bethree(B3), I Methisto, am just one of the many subordinates of yours, if you would like I can call the others as well"

Said the Black devil.

His words weren't trustworthy, but in truth Domina didn't really care, all he wanted was to leave for Allastar, the faster the better, so he just went on with the rouse.

"Just call a few of them and follow me"

Domina said, somewhat disdainfully and a bit irritated.

"Of course master"

The Devil said, he then took out a strange box out of his pocket, opened it and four tiny demons came out.

Domina could do nothing but gulp heavily when he saw the small demons grow in size, becoming just the right size for him.

Of course that wasn't what made him excited, the four were sexy naked beuties, each a different skin color, Red,Blue,Purple and Gold.

"Serve your master well"

The devil said and the four beauties begun rubing onto his body. Domina had fallen in a strange seductive dream as he put his strange conic claw in between the Gold one's legs and heard a sexy response.

The four of them were simply the women of his dreams, right what he wanted, well shaped body, skin tender and soft and erotic voices that made him excited just by hearing them.

"Master, we should go now"

The Black devil said.

Domina had already seen the Black devil's stats and although he was probably the strongest demon in town but he wasn't a threat to him, in reality non of the npcs were.

=====================================================

Max's POV

Max woke up somewhat dizzy, he couldn't even understand how he ended up in a bed.

Next to him laid Lidie or was it Galie he didn't know, somewhat shy he turned his head the other side and he saw Galie or was it Lidie.

He didn't know then he tried to stand up and felt something heavy on his body, he looked under the sheets but somewhat shocked in turn.

All of them were bare naked and Red was sleeping under the sheets, right on his lap.

The bed was luxurious and enormous, he couldn't understand who had enought money to pay for a royal suite among them but he could see that it wasn't him.

Just as he laid down, he begun trying to remember how all things came to this.

The day before...They had just arrived at the gates of the city and were rather exhausted, they went into a store on the street that looked like a restorant or something and asked for something to drink and some food.

Max remembered that he wasted the first cup of whatever they had given them and was teased by some other players there.

They then drank together for some time, he remembered that someone had tried to flirt with Lidie and he had kicked his ass or did he get his ass kicked, he couldn't really remember.

They then left the store and went to find an Inn where they were given even more of that strange drink and later he couldn't really remember how they got here.

"Ah...Is it morning already?"

Suddenly Galie woke up, she stood up bare naked and begun putting on her clothes as if nothing had happened.

"Galie why are you so loud?"

Asked Lidie who just woke up from the noise, she also felt a terrible headache, not really remembering what had happened yesterday, in truth she remembered even less than Max.

She only raised her breast out of the sheets and seconds later, a panicked screem filled the room.

It was a good thing that the Royal suite was soundproof.

The only thing that Lidie's scream did was wake up red who started to suck on Max's dick under the sheets, it was a rather peculiar situation but what they found out later made them feel even more strange about the situation.

Lidie for some reason had a pregnant status while she had also become Max's wife somehow.

Galie and Red both surprised, or at least that's what they showed on the outside.

In truth Galie knew everything that had happened but didn't understand if it was something bad, after all she didn't understand why Lidie would make a fuzz out of it, it was just a game after all.

Seeing how shocked and distessed Lidie was Max couldn't stay still, he stood and aproached the rather panicked Lidie from behind.

His hand touched her shoulder as she was trying to figure out what to do, it wasn't really something disastrous but it wasn't either something that she wanted.

She looked at him who was was standing behind her right now, there wasn't any passionate emotion that she felt towards him.

He was just a stranger who travelled with them for the past few days nothing more and although she knew that he had some emotions for her but it wasn't something too troublesome since she hadn't given him any privilages until now.

He suddenly turned her around, in truth this was the first time that she realised how strong Max really was, on the journey she mostly used him as a meat shield or a packmule, since she hated to part with even the most cheap loot.

"I love you"

He said to her and before she could even react he kissed her, for a few seconds she was shocked before she tried to get loose from his grip, but it was impossible.

In truth she didn't hate him and he was also a good person, only he didn't make her feel the something special she wanted to feel, there was no chemistry between them.

Once the kiss stoped a heavy slap on his cheek did a tiny damage almost neglegible to his health points but he felt somewhat bitter inside.

Lidie instantly begun puting on her clothes and turned towards him, in truth she wasn't angry with him, but she wouldn't give him reasons to think that she was a cheap woman.

"Lidie..."

Max was about to speak but Lidie stoped him.

"Listen Max, you are a good man and the woman who will marry you will probably be happy, but the two of us just don't match each other"

Lidie said, it was of course her most sincere opinion and trully what she believed.

"Just let her go, If you like, I would be happy to have you"

Red said while lazily crawling out of the sheets once more.

Lidie could do nothing but smirk as she left the room to go and try selling her stuff, after all the city had far more merchants and players than the fort or the villages and towns.

Max also put on his clothes and went after Lidie.

It wasn't only because he still hadn't given up, but also because he was carrying more than half of her merchantise.

He was running behind her while shouting for her to wait for him when his gaze fell on a strangely familiar ninja, of course it was imposible for Dublin to be here, after all the Helllion guild was too busy recently since it was expanding, so him being here was rather unlikely.

"Max!"

Shouted the Ninja as he drew near.

"Uncle Dublin?"

Max didn't know to be happy or to run after Lidie again but he couldn't really disregard Dublin, after all he was probably the only person in the Helllion guild who wasn't as highstruck and zealeous as the rest and he was really easy to talk to.

"How is it going, did you woo her yet?"

Dublin asked silently as he went closer, of course he wasn't really ready for Max's answer.

Max noded somewhat unintentionaly and Dublin fell down on his ass in disbelief, after all he had cut Lidie to be the hard to get type.

After getting Max to a restaurant nearby Dublin had him confess everything, every detail, but his expectations fell short since Max didn't remember much of what happened only the outcome was clear.

Dublin's expression turned somewhat ugly, in truth there was a secret to why he was in the Imperial city.

After all it was the most beautiful city, but the real real reason behind the beautiful, Max and the girls didn't take much to discover.

The whole city was overun by women, the few male players stuck out like lights in the darkness but even they as Dublin said were probably lesbians who chose the other gender.

Most of the male players were either in the town down the mountain or at the borders fighting with the Yokai.

When Dublin heard that Lidie went to sell her goods he begun to laugh, the reason was that in the imperial city, there were only high quality goods, normaly only expert players can reach the Imperial city due to the monsters and only high level goods and ingredients are sold.

Of course she could still sell the items to the Npcs but finding a good sucker of an npc with low merchant ability will be rather hard in the city of women.

For some reason these women haggled like beasts, many of them would value even a single copper, as if it was a great think if they payed one copper less.

Of course there were also those that spent money without thinking but those were becoming fewer and fewer as time goes by, after all no one enjoys being a sucker.

Just think buying something for ten gold and then seeing the same exact thing in another store for two gold, wouldn't that create a bit of regret in your mind.

A message was sent to Max and like a thunderbolt he bade farewell to Dublin and went to find Lidie.

Only now did she remember that he was carrying half her goods, well at least she had probably already found a merchant.

Dublin could only laugh as he saw Max run like the wind when Lidie called for him. Just like a loyal dog hearing him master's command to return to him.

Dublin's smile however didn't last for long as he sighed heavily. He himself still hadn't found the one woman of his life, even though he knew that he wasn't very popular he had lived far longer than Max and although he did experience some intimate relationships non lasted for too long.

Max and Lidie were rather close but their heart were miles apart. Lidie didn't let emotions ruin her carreer as a merchant and used Max like before to carry any excecive laguage.

In truth it could be called exploitation but Max didn't mind, after all being close to her gave him more chances to warm her heart and protect her from any troublesome guys, even the ones she might like would also feel his wrath, maybe even more so than the rest.

Max in his heart had already made his own conviction, to protect the mother of his child(virtual child) even if the whole world will go against her he will still stand there for her.

=====================================================

Leo's POV

Far away In Drogan the leader of the Helllion guild Leo was distressed, some weeks ago they had begun spreading their influence towards the Isleplains but how could he have known that the Isleplains were simply that strong.

The specialty of the isleplains were exotic weapons and magic, but what was the most troublesome was gadgets.

The Isleplains are consisted from many islands and the Great plains. The islands offer exotic stuff while the plains were where the Democratic nation of the Isleplains is located is famous for their gadgets.

Although guns produced there are not as effective as the ones in real life but how could a magegun lose to a sword or bow, Isleplain's gunmen were fierce and once the Helllion guild tried to expand to the Isleplains they not only pushed them back, but even begun trying to expand themselves.

Of course how could Leo have known that the Isleplains were so fierce, after all in their duels in the arena they always easily lost to the warriors.

In war however where tactics and strategies were employed guns and grenades were far more useful.

After all a simple squad of magegunners was far superior to a squad of archers or even magearchers, the main reason being that their attacks did more damage with the same magic consumpsion and even if the archers used cover and other skills for defence, magegunners too had skills like the deadly quickdraw and triple shot.

You should understand that although magic shots from the magegunners aren't really comparable to bullets, they are still impossible for normal human to avoid, while arrows although they are fast there is still the possibility for them to be dodged or deflected, while some are even able to catch them in the air and shoot them back with their own bows with the "return shot skill".

Leo was in dire trouble right now, yes he might be a guardian Centurion but that didn't mean that he could comand guardians from another centurion's team and even worse he was probably the weakest centurion there is.

Of course no one would probably dare kill him, at least no guardian but taking over Drogan had nothing to do with the Guardians, Allastar was just a game world after all, they could do whatever they liked here.

"Ben, how are we holding at your side?"

Asked Leo, he knew that his side wasn't doing so well but if Ben fell then it didn't matter anymore.

"Not bad here, we succeded in holding them off for today"

Benjamin the swordmaster of their guild said.

"How about your side Dublin?"

Asked Leo somewhat happy that they were holding the enemy back.

"Nothing, everything is fine here"

Dublin said with a happy voice.

Leo was somewhat satisfied with their answers but suddenly another message poped up

"Leader, we have heavy loses at the southeast, but we can still hold, that idiot Dublin and the reinforcements haven't appeared at all"

Leo was now Furious, in truth he had sent Dublin with Reinforcements to the southeast, where the Heck did he go with all the reinforcements.

"Dublin, where the heck are you?"

Leo asked while trying to keep his calm.

"Southeast, you told me to go to the south east and I am at the south east"

Dublin said rather puzzled.

"Are you really near the south east borders of Drogan?"

Leo asked somewhat surprised, he couldn't get even a hint of lying in Dublin's voice.

"Wait, why of Drogan weren't we conquering the Isleplains?"

Dublin asked somewhat distressed, only now did it come to him, why his leader had sent him to the other side of the world.

"Dublin, get the players together and get your ass back here!"

Leo shouted, but before he could calm down Dublin sent him another message.

"Congradulation for your grandchild, you happy go lucky gramps"

Said Dublin, nearly sending Leo to the other side.

If he wasn't inside the game he would have died from a heart attack, but now he had only fainted.

=====================================================

Lidie's POV

There was little they could do, the items they had were truelly too cheap. Lidie was somewhat sad about the prices, it turned out that here players were too picky and didn't even turn to look at things like raw ingredients, they only cared about complete products.

Although in the end a few people still came but most of her wares ended up being sold to the npc merchants for scraps.

"Lidie why are you ignoring me!"

A somewhat angry voice came from behind her.

She wasn't really in the mood to talk to him but he was becoming even more brazen, approaching and talking to her as if they were friends or something.

"Lidie why are you pushing me away, I know that we are not really close but lets at least learn about one another"

Max said attemping to get closer to her, but she wasn't stupid, she knew that she was wanted by the guardians and although Max was not a guardian, he would probably suffer as well.

You have to understand that guardians were terrifying existenses inside the game, other than gaining a boost in their psychic powers they also had the guardian options, giving them an unfair advantage against any normal players of the game.

The funny thing of course was that the only way to raise their guardian statuses was not using their guardian options and psychic powers at all, which was the main reason why there were so few centurions and elites.

Lidie once more remembered the past, the death of her partner, the anhilation of the rebel HQ and even the time she learned that the rebels were nothing but a hoax to birth more guardians and filter the "trash".

After so many betrayals, in hell she would trust someone else again. The only person she trusts right now is Galie and that only because she knows her whole situation, as for Red. Red for her is just a burden that creates problems for her, while Max is but a stranger who hitched for a ride.

"Lidie don't ignore me, I...I really...I just..."

Lidie could understand what Max wanted to say but he wasn't strong enough like Galie to be eligible to follow them, he could be called even weaker than Lidie when it came to combat so how could she have the heart to tell him that it was because he was too weak.

They sat there silently, looking at the strange blue sun falling into the horizon.

"Hm, do you have a need for a real man"

A voice came from nearby.

Lidie just turned her head towards the one talking while Max like lightning stood up, lifted the man who had just spoken and threw him away, like trash.

"I...I...challenge you to a duel, do you dare to fight me in the Arena"

The strange man that looked like an eastener swordsman, on his hips he wore three swords, probably just to look cooler and his long hair bound in a long ponytail. The stupid eyepatch that covered one of his eyes made him seem even more ridiculous, after all everyone knew that you couldn't lose an eye inside the game and the eye patches even the pirates only used them for some limited time and took them off when fighting. The reason behind them was that they gave some stats or raised some skills, but the handicap they gave was too much to fight with so only eyepatches with luck increase and other non combat attributes were used in the end, some even gambled while wearing too eyepatches when they threw the dices, of course they took them off fast enough to see the result or had friends that made sure that they weren't cheaten.

The one before them is probably thinking he's so strong that he can fight even with a handicap, or he didn't even think that Max would dare accept his challenge.
