Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Shortly after they finished with their shower, Vahn was going to let Arusha and Arryn rest when all three of their Pockets informed them to head to the location where teams would be chosen. Before they left, however, Vahn turned to the two girls and said, "There is a chance my enemies will target you if we end up on separate teams. If that happens, activate the pendants I gave you previously. It will alert me to the situation and allow me to teleport you to my side. You are free to try and fight if you really want to, but, at the very least, I want you to activate the tracking function of your Pocket before trying anything."Without any argument whatsoever, Arusha and Arryn immediately nodded in response to Vahn's words. They understood their own weakness after seeing some of the climactic battles between him and the other residents of the Emerald Grove, so, while they wanted to help him, their desire not to become a burden to the person who had 'saved' them was even greater. This was especially true for Arryn, as, despite only knowing Vahn for little more than a week, she felt like her life had been given meaning after their meeting. She had come to learn how truly vast the world was, and, despite the fact he was a God who stood above countless others, he lowered himself to her level and allowed her to love him.Noticing the tell-tale glimmer in Arryn's eyes, Vahn couldn't help but issue a light chuckle as he caressed both of their heads and said, "We'll have more fun later on. For now, let's go and see what our temporary allies are up to. I'm curious to discover which Gambler is daring enough to think they can purchase me and order me around..."Though Arusha glowered at the thought of anyone telling her Master what to do, Arryn understood that Vahn was just joking around. She returned a chuckle of her own, and, after enjoying his caress for a while longer, the three of them made their way over to where the other passing Regulars were waiting. They were the last to arrive, but, considering how quickly they had qualified during the first round, nobody was brave enough to criticize them for being late. Instead, they occupied one of the tables that had been prepared by event organizers, casually conversing until it was their turn to step out onto the stage...---In order to introduce an element of strategy and ensure things were as competitive as possible, the organizers of the Workshop Battle had the six qualifying Gamblers participate in an auction. Though they would each end up with fifteen people on their team, this allowed them to drive up the prices of certain Regulars in order to pressure their opponents into wasting resources. As for why this was important, it was due to the fact that, with the exception of weapons obtained during the Workshop Battle, others could not be used in the tournament.To prevent members of the Ten Great Families from effectively guaranteeing a win through the use of rare and powerful artifacts, all equipment used during the Workshop Battle was purchased with the Points the Gamblers had acquired during the previous rounds. This included Lighthouses and Observers, so, even if they managed to acquire powerful allies during the auction, there was still a chance they would lose if their equipment wasn't up to standard.Fortunately, even if they squandered all of their resources prior to the start of the Final Round, they weren't completely without options. So long as they were able to complete certain objectives or defeat members of the enemy team, they could acquire a surplus of Points to spend. This allowed them to purchase items from various summoning altars located within the tournament grounds.With the exception of some mass-produced goods, each of the articles available for summoning was hand-crafted by the Workshop. This meant, so long as they chose their allies well and worked together, each member of a team could walk away with substantial upgrades to their existing gear. The winning team would even be awarded 3,000,000 Points per member, and, for the duration of one month, they would be allowed VIP access to all publically accessible Workshop facilities. This effectively provided them a 30% discount to all items purchased, and, as a result, they garnered a considerable amount of interest from various sponsors seeking to benefit from their boon.Simply put, the Gamblers had to decide between purchasing items or summoning allies during the final round. Since the price of summoned allies was determined by their value during the auction, it was important to spread their Points out over a number of reliable Regulars rather than invest all of their resources into individually powerful participants. Vahn and Varagarv, for example, had starting bids of 1,000,000 Points, respectively. Having them on your team virtually guaranteed victory if you could summon them, but, with each team only starting with 100,000 Points during the Final Round, earning enough to actually summon them was very difficult.Among the six Gamblers, the person with the most Points was a blonde-haired woman with fair features and petite, angelic, wings. She had managed to accumulate more than 2.4 million Points, an ample sum considering the second-highest Gambler had only earned 1.9 million. Under most circumstances, this would have put her in a rather dominant position, but, due to being the handler of Varagarv, the so-called 'Strongest E-Rank Regular', the other Gamblers managed to force her to spend more than 1.4 million in order to obtain him. As for Vahn, he was more than a little annoyed when it was his turn to come out, yet, despite several calls from the auctioneer, nobody attempted to bid for him...Though they recognized that Vahn was exceptionally powerful, none of the Gamblers believed they would be able to control him. The angelic woman was actually Varagarv's 'Handler', so, even though she didn't really have much of a choice in the matter, she could, at the very least, control him. As for Vahn, the only information people had on him came from rumors and the dominant display he had put on during the first round. To the Gamblers present, he was an 'extremely volatile' purchase, and, though his presence might guarantee their victory, there was a chance he could just refuse to obey their commands and outright throw the match if he really wanted to.In the end, Vahn was asked to return to the waiting area and wait until the rest of the competitors had been bid on. This gave him a strong desire to just forfeit his participation then and there, but, understanding the reasons why nobody bid on him, he managed to calm himself down by inviting Mikoto to come out in her Pikachu form. She wasn't his first choice, but, with Fenrir and Ryun in the middle of some kind of special training, she was a good alternative. The fact she had 'begrudgingly' accepted his invitation brought a smile to his face, and, though she was incredibly embarrassed by the presence of others, she still allowed him to squish and massage her cheeks until his mood had improved.Once everyone else had been bid on, Vahn was 'given' to the only team that had an empty slot left in their party. As for Arusha and Arryn, they had been purchased for 120,00 and 200,000 Points by two different Gamblers, both planted FUG. He conveyed this to the duo with a hand signal they had decided upon prior to the auction before walking over to his own team, a group also acting in the interests of FUG. What made them 'special' was the fact that this was also the team with Varagarv, effectively guaranteeing that he would not be summoned during the Final Round.As if she hadn't participated in the orchestration of the auction, the leader of the team, the angelic blonde, offered a 'friendly' smile as she remarked, "It's a shame, really. Varagarv was greatly looking forward to battling against you. Who could have imagined that the two strongest E-Rank Regulars would end up on the same team~?"Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Vahn ignored the woman's remark as he stared directly at the tall and muscular Varagarv. Other than the unique hood covering his dog-like ears, the only garment he wore was a pair of bright red pants. This allowed his rather intimidating figure to be on full display, but, while others might be cowed by the murderous and untamed aura lingering around him, Vahn was completely unaffected as he stared into the man's glowing red eyes and said, "It looks like FUG decided not to sacrifice you. I guess the Elder supporting this farce is trying to curry favor with your Master. Lucky you."Frowning in response to Vahn's words, Varagarv rose to his full height of 210cm, staring down at Vahn as he asserted, "You are powerful...but I am no coward. If you want to fight, I will fight you..." in a deep and resonant tone. This caused the angelic woman to pale slightly, but, while he was 'very' tempted to put the dog in his place, Vahn didn't actually care about the title of 'strongest' in E-Rank. It was also impossible for him to take the threats of someone that was thousands of times weaker than him seriously, so, in the end, he just teasingly remarked, "I'm not fond of bullying the weak..." while releasing part of his aura.Though he didn't cower in the slightest, Varagarv was unable to prevent his pupils from contracting into small points when he sensed Vahn's aura. At the same time, goose pimples appeared along his forearms, and, though his instincts were telling him to retreat, his training as one of Yama's 'fighting dog' compelled him to issue a low growl. This earned him an amused smile from Vahn, not because he found the man's reaction particularly amusing, but because the Law of Identity was narrating the chaotic thoughts of the angelic woman behind him.Deciding there was no value in teasing a bunch of Regulars, Vahn ultimately issued a light chuckle before shifting his attention towards the woman and asking, "I'm assuming you don't need me for anything, correct?"Though she had already been warned that Vahn possessed an ability that allowed him to read a person's thoughts, the angelic woman, Ron Mei, hadn't expected him to see through their ploy so quickly. She couldn't shake the feeling that her entire being was exposed before him, and, though she was loyal to both Yama and FUG, she suddenly felt like it was a 'very' bad idea to oppose the man standing before her. It was no wonder FUG had them come up with a plan that involved 'not' fighting against him, something that was very rare for the rather violence-prone organization.In response to Vahn's question, Ron Mei forced a smile as she instinctually placed herself behind Varagarv and answered, "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't make you work with us. The reason we had to come up with a plan like this is because you're someone that refuses to 'cooperate' with others. Now, please just behave until the end of the Workshop Battle...so long as you don't try anything, we have no intention of making any moves against you or your allies..."With his brows furrowing ever-so-slightly, the pressure emanating from Vahn was enough to draw the attention of virtually every Regular present as he stated, "You shouldn't be so eager to speak on behalf of people who would willingly sacrifice you without a thought. If I were half the monster your Elders would have you believe, you would have been dead the moment your plot was uncovered. In the end, despite your loyalty, you are just a convenient tool that is being misled by people who only have their own interests at heart. Seriously, more than ten-thousand-years have passed yet they still need Regulars like you to act on their behalf? Other than asking countless people to make sacrifices for their personal interests, what have the Elders of FUG done to actualize any of your dreams? How many billions more need to die before you people realize you won't get anywhere while the leaders of your so-called resistance are sitting around on their asses!?"Not expecting Vahn to suddenly shout, Ron Mei turned whiter than a sheet as Varagarv shielded her with his muscular forearm. As for the other Regulars present, they felt an oppressive chill penetrate their bodies despite the fact that Vahn had prevented his aura from applying any direct pressure to them. They suddenly felt as though they had been locked in a pen with an exceptionally dangerous creature, one that could decide their life or death at its whim. This caused all discussion in the room to cease, and, until he had departed alongside Arusha and Arryn, not a single person dared to utter so much as a whisper...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'An Emperor arrives when he pleases...','RIP Vahn xD...','It seems like FUG is in the process of digging itself a rather sizeable hole (OwO)...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Though the teams participating in the Final Round had been designated high-class pavilions to accommodate all sixteen of their members, there was no rule requiring everyone to share the same residence. As a result, Arusha and Arryn effectively ghosted their teams throughout the entirety of the preparatory period. After all, they didn't really care about the items provided by the Workshop, so, knowing their Team Leaders were agents of FUG, they had no reason to stick around.Since there were a few things he needed to take care of, Vahn allowed the two girls to reside within the Little Garden as he, accompanied by Fenrir and guided by Ryun, traveled to one of the so-called 'unexplored regions' of the 30th Floor. These were territories where the Jahad Empire had limited to no influence, something Vahn couldn't really make sense of considering they had been around for more than ten-thousand-years.Vahn didn't know if it was because they were simply incompetent or just didn't care, but, in the end, it didn't really matter. All he knew was that FUG was going out of their way to antagonize him and he wasn't just going to sit around passively as they continued to grow bolder. He also disdained the fact that they had effectively spent the last ten-thousand-years just sitting around, 'conserving' their strength while people exponentially weaker than them sacrificed their lives towards for a cause that had made absolutely no progress in several hundred generations.Borrowing a phrase from Loki, the fact that they were so 'backassward' to the point that they were directly interfering with people who shared similar objectives was completely ridiculous. They were supposed to be the preeminent organization that stood in opposition to Jahad and the Ten Great Families, yet, rather than unify the people behind their banner, they relied on blackmail, threats, and other forms of coercion to bend others to their will.Though he had a somewhat reactive nature, Vahn had never been the type to just sit around and let his enemies conspire against him. He could be very merciful and empathetic, but, the moment they touched his bottom line, specifically targeting those around him and trying to coerce him, they had already dug their own graves. He had never shown such people tolerance, even when he was just a fourteen-year-old boy running around the streets of Orario. Now, he was literally both a God and an Emperor. He might not really care about things like politics and etiquette, but he wasn't the type of person that others could just blackmail, coerce, or manipulate for their own benefit...---Under the direction of Ryun, Vahn found himself high in the sky over what could best be described as an 'evil fortress'. It was comprised almost entirely of a murky black stone, and, though it was built into the side of a mountain, several spike-like towers stood out as its main features. There was even a massive demonic visage decorating the front gate, almost as if they were trying to advertise 'hey, look at us, we're the bad guys'.Rather than wonder what the hell was wrong with FUG for them to believe themselves to be on the side of 'justice' despite literally decorating their fortresses like evil lairs, Vahn spread his arms wide as several vibrant spheres of light manifested around him. Instead of Baangs, however, each of the relatively tiny spheres of light were purified [Elemental Star]s. He had spent a fair amount of time trying to make a breakthrough in his [Eyes of Truth] so he had tens of thousands of them sitting in his Inventory. They weren't nearly as easy to control as Baangs of Shinsu, but, by nature, they were exponentially more powerful.As could be expected, the guards manning the fortress quickly noticed the vibrant light show in the skies above their base. Before they could mount a real defense, however, Vahn created Acceleration Gates beneath each of the [Elemental Star]s as he coldly muttered, "Elemental Cataclysm." in a deep and resonant tone saturated with the Law of Authority. This caused the structure of the Acceleration Gates to change subtly, each radiating a vibrant golden light that seemed to illuminate the Heavens as [Elemental Star]s rained down upon the fortress below.Though several Rankers had been present in the fortress, only three people managed to escape the expansion of the [Elemental Star]s as they coalesced into a dense black sphere that spread to cover nearly three-kilometers before collapsing into a single point and disappearing. In its wake, not even a speck of dust remained of the stronghold and the mountain it had been built into, mortifying the three Advanced Rankers.Taking advantage of the trio's stupor, lightning momentarily danced across Vahn's exposed torso as he appeared next to the strongest of the three in an instant. This was a technique derived from the knowledge and experience he had accumulated from Yoruichi, and, though it wasn't comparable to her Innate-derived technique, it was significantly faster than the majority of movement techniques existing within the Tower.Demonstrating why he was an Advanced Ranker, the man managed to pull out a strange purple cudgel at nearly the exact same time as Vahn's appearance. Unfortunately, even a window as small as a microsecond was more than enough time for the latter to execute any number of moves. As a result, the man found both his arm and cudgel spinning through the sky as Vahn brandished Laev-tan and pointed her towards his throat.Seeing their companion held at sword point, the other two Advanced Rankers showed expressions similar to someone who had swallowed a bug. Before either of them could accuse him of taking a hostage, however, Vahn's aura caused the surrounding space to tremble as he declared, "This is the last warning I will afford you. The next time FUG seeks to intervene in my personal affairs, they will learn the terror associated with my title as Sage Dragon Emperor. I have no tolerance for a corrupt organization filled with crooks and nihilistic cowards. I don't care if your Elders want to sit around on their asses for another ten-thousand-years. Inform them that, if they pull another stunt like this, they will suffer the same fate as Jahad."Hearing Vahn casually insult their Elders, the trio of Advanced Rankers adopted looks reminiscent of warriors who had prepared themselves for death. Unfortunately, they had severely underestimated who they were standing in front of. Vahn had already seen through thoughts before they had even fully formed, his eyes blazing like golden suns as he shouted, "Go!" in a voice that created a visible ripple that fractured the surrounding space. This was a technique combining both his Draconic Aura and Conquerors Haki, the latter of which was obtained thanks to the knowledge and experiences of both Roger and Whitebeard.Feeling as if Vahn's words had impacted their minds directly, all three of the Advanced Rankers fell from the sky like flies that had approached a bug zapper. They weren't dead but they would spend the next few hours in a state similar to 'Mind Down', unable to move or muster any power. His voice would also haunt their dreams until they eventually gave up trying to oppose him or mustered a far greater resolve than any of them currently possessed.Unable to restrain his disdain, Vahn snorted through his nose before turning away from the trio that had fallen into the massive hemispherical void. He had used the Law of Identity to investigate all of the people occupying the fortress so he had very little empathy for any of them. Yes, they each had a reason to hate Jahad and the Ten Great Families, but, rather than taking action to directly oppose the people they purportedly hated, most of them had spent hundreds of years performing actions that made even their most hated enemies look tame. They had raped, murdered, and blackmailed countless people in the pursuit of their objective, often relishing in the vile acts while excusing their actions as part of the 'greater good'.Though there were few things he agreed with Merlin on, Vahn had come to disdain the concept of the 'greater good' quite a bit. He hated how so-called righteous people could justify even the most inhumane acts imaginable so long as it met their definition of the 'greater good'.Over the years, Vahn had even read about Records where humanity had been pushed to the brink of extinction, and, despite being on their last legs, it was almost always revealed that the leaders of the remaining humans were either the cause or direct contributors to the problem at hand. They built their entire society around the concept of service and sacrifice, compelling countless people to die for them all while they sit back and consolidate all the most important resources for themselves. There were even Records where the population of mankind had been pushed to just a few million people, yet, in spite of this, there was still a class gap that comprised of Royalty, Nobles, and Serfs...Realizing he was slipping into a negative mental state, Vahn just shook in mild exasperation before stepping through the unstable void and appearing thousands of kilometers away in an instant. His comprehension of Space and Time had increased extensively during his research into the Laws, so, even without a Divinity, his power and control had been steadily increasing. The experiences of his Templates also drastically increased his understanding as Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and even Mavis all possessed Innates related to Creation, Space, and Time.Though he didn't really slack off during the moments when he actually trained, Vahn's progress in the Transcendental Path to Heaven made his growth in previous Records seem like a joke. This was largely due to the existence of his Templates, but, more than anything else, it was his knowledge of the 'pinnacle' that aided him most. This was entirely thanks to the Law of Identity, but, by knowing how powerful the beings at the absolute pinnacle were, Vahn now had a far better understanding of the heights he was aspiring to. His final battlefield was a place where concepts such as speed and power were completely negligible. Instead, battles were fought using Authorities, Intent, and, most important of all, Willpower.Understanding he still had a 'very' long way to go, Vahn decided to cool his head by taking a seat atop one of the Ember Isle's inactive volcanoes. From there, he could see most of the other islands in the distance, and, due to its size, the Archimedes stood out like a horizontal teardrop in the sky above the Workshop's geothermal facility. It was the size of a city from up close, but, at a distance of several dozen kilometers, it appeared as little more than a speck in the distance.With his knowledge of the Divine Realm, Vahn was aware that entire Universes existed as little more than sub-atomic particles to the beings that inhabited the highest plane of existence. From a purely objective perspective, this made something like the Tower, a mere pathway between Realms, seem completely inconsequential. Unfortunately, unless he intended to abandon what made him human, he would forever remain a subjective entity that was bound by his inordinate empathy. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, especially with what he knew of higher planes of existence, but, at times like this, it could be 'very' inconvenient to care about others.Exhaling a tired sigh, Vahn habitually adopted a lotus position in order to clear his mind of wayward thoughts. He had already made his decision, so, even if FUG reacted violently to his affront, that was simply their fate. Even if all the factions in the Tower turned against him, he would continue pushing forward until they had either submitted or stepped aside. He had never expected the path towards the pinnacle to be bereft of bloodshed, so, while he couldn't help but feel guilty about the lives he had just taken, his time was better spent improving the state of the world rather than wallowing in negative sentiments...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'If you continually pester a Dragon, you only have yourself to blame when they turn around to bite...','Vahn is becoming even more of a monster o_o...','Some things never change...not that this is a bad thing (OwO)...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Following the instructions they had received the prior evening, Vahn, Arusha, and Arryn proceeded to the waiting room that had been assigned to them. The second round of the Workshop Battle had been scheduled for the early afternoon so all participants had been asked to be waiting within their respective rooms by 10:00 AM. This might seem a little early, but, by having everyone appear hours in advance, they could effectively eliminate no-shows and potential delays.Fortunately, the Workshop wasn't filled with idiots, so, in order to prevent contestants from feeling bored, they had been given access to a buffet, a mini-theater, and tablets that detailed the rules of the second round. Vahn found this last part particularly amusing as it also assigned a rating to each of the contestants for the purpose of gambling. His own rating gave him odds of 100:1, the highest among all competing Regulars.Since he would have access to his onboard the Archimedes until the end of the Workshop Battle, Vahn didn't actually 'need' to win the second round. This gave him to the notion of screwing with the event organizers by throwing his match, effectively rewarding anyone who bet against him a total of 100x their stake. He could also turn the entire event on his head by waiting until the last round and effectively bankrupting everyone who bet on his victory.Were it not for the spreading of certain negative rumors, Vahn wouldn't have had any qualms about allowing someone else the chance to win the Workshop Battle. Now, however, he felt an inclination to bite back at the people who had spread negative rumors about him, essentially slapping them in the face while demonstrating who, exactly, they were trying to offend. Some might consider this a little petty, but, compared to the pettiness of those who spread such rumors, he might as well be a Saint.---With four hours passing uneventfully, Vahn, who had been watching a movie with Arusha and Arryn flanking him, finally received a notice to move to the arena. Arusha and Arryn had received similar notifications, so, after confirming their participation, the three of them were promptly teleported to the edge of a giant stone pillar.Similar to the Seeded Tournament of the 20th Floor, the matches were scheduled to take place atop giant pillars that protruded from a massive pool of crystal clear, icy blue, water. For the sake of time, several rounds would take place simultaneously until only a handful of contestants remained. These would then go on to participate in a round-robin style tournament meant to conclusively determine who the strongest E-Rank Regular was.One of the things that distinguished this tournament from the one Vahn had participated in on the 20th Floor was that forty people would be participating each round, eight per pillar of stone. As for the objective, they were required to insert peculiar plug-like weapons into grooved located at the center of each pillar. The first three people to insert their plugs into the grooves would be allowed to advance to the next round, effectively reducing the number of participants for the second round to 90.What made things interesting was how things developed following the round of eliminations. From there, people who had been chosen as 'Gamblers', a title given to those who had earned the most points during the One-Shot One Opportunity Game, would be allowed to 'purchase' participating Regulars in order to organize a team. They would then act as Team Leaders during the Tournament Finals, an event scheduled to take place two days later so that each of the newly constructed teams would have a chance to familiarize themselves with each other.Though he could think of quite a number of flaws in the tournament structure, such as allies from the same original team conspiring together despite being pitted against one another, Vahn didn't think it was that bad an idea from an objective standpoint. So long as everyone followed the rules, it roughly balanced out the final teams, as, even if they managed to get ahold of the most powerful participant in the entire competition, they would need to put in a considerable amount of effort just to 'summon' them during the final round. This made it smarter to secure more economical Regulars as there was a very real chance they could grasp victory before the most powerful participants even became a factor.Fortunately, regardless of whether or not he was able to actively participate in the final round, Vahn could still complete his objective. All he needed was the island's approximate spatial coordinates to be able to teleport there whenever he wanted. FUG would likely take exception to this, but, as their strongest member on the 30th Floor was merely an Advanced Ranker, he wasn't particularly all that concerned. Rather, depending on how he played the current situation, he might even be able to get the other Elders of FUG to intervene with the faction that was causing him trouble...As these thoughts were playing across his mind, Vahn was waiting for the announcer to finish their explanation of the rules so that the tournament could officially begin. It was fortunate that his team was so small, as, due to the unique structure of the event, both Arusha and Arryn had been placed in the same arena. This virtually guaranteed all three of them would make it through to the Finals as the other five members of their group weren't particularly special. The only thing that distinguished them was their apparent hatred towards him, as, despite his 100:1 odds being published, all five of the male participants seemed determined to defeat him.Shaking his head in mild exasperation, Vahn waited until the start of the match before waving the club-like plug in a sweeping motion. He had already explained the situation to Laev-tan, so, while she was a little annoyed, she didn't manifest for fear of getting him disqualified. This turned out to be a mercy for the other Regulars, as, despite being pushed from the platform in an instant, they were, at the very least, spared a few burns.Ignoring the remarks of the announcer and the booing of the crowd, Vahn sauntered over to the center of the platform, smiling at Arryn and Arusha before placing his plug into one of the three grooves present. They offered slightly wry smiles in return, but, understanding what kind of being Vahn was, neither were particularly surprised by his ability to eliminate the other contestants with a casual wave of his plug. He was already at a level comparable to Rankers, and, when he went all out, even High-Rankers would struggle against him. For the average E-Rank Regular to last even a few seconds against him, the only reason imaginable was that Vahn had allowed it...---After returning to their private waiting room, Vahn was the first to take a seat on the rather lavish sofa before Arusha and Arryn promptly took their positions at his flanks. Neither had any aversion to him wrapping his arms around them, so, after unpausing their movie, he made certain to take a few liberties for their sake.Over time, Vahn had come to learn that, while they hated being objectified, the majority of women enjoyed feeling 'wanted' by their partner, so, whenever the opportunity presented itself, he made sure to express his affection through action rather than words. This might make him seem like an insatiable pervert from the perspective of others but the opinion of others had never mattered all that much to him. He might get annoyed by false articles and the spreading of rumors, but, so long as he could make his women happy, he had very little to complain about.Demonstrating how fortunate he truly was, Arryn eventually grew too restless to simply sit still and enjoy the sensual ambiance. Neither she nor Arusha had been paying any attention to the movie, so, after some silent communication through their gazes, she extricated herself from Vahn's hold, blocking his view of the large light display. Then, with her back turned to him, she looked over her shoulder with a 'hungry' look in her eyes as her hands slowly peeled away her skin-tight shorts.Understanding Arryn's intentions, a smile spread across Vahn's face as he made no attempt to stop Arusha from liberating his dragon from its confines with her teeth. She had become rather skilled at supporting others due to her deeply ingrained perception of relationship hierarchies, so, with Arryn being 'significantly' stronger than her, she believed it was only natural that she waited her turn. This was something Vahn had been trying to remedy as of late, but, similar to Mordred, Arusha could be 'very' insistent when it came to her observation of an established hierarchy.In order to make things a little easier for Arryn, Arusha showed no hesitation as she collected saliva in her mouth before taking the majority of his member into her mouth. Then, in an effort to ensure an even coating of saliva, she pulled away very slowly, her tongue wriggling around his shaft before she stopped at his glans and gave it a small kiss. This last part was something she had learned from Mira, and, though he always felt it was a little strange, Vahn didn't particularly mind the affectionate way in which some of his women viewed his penis...Due to Vahn's prior petting, Arryn didn't need to make any additional preparations of her own. The moment Arusha had finished lubricating Vahn's penis, she wasted very little time in positioning her hands on his knees, a lustful look in her eyes as she bit her bottom lip and allowed him to position himself at her entrance. Once his glans had penetrated her, sending a shiver throughout her body, she allowed him to guide her into a seated position, his member splitting her apart in a somewhat painful yet extremely pleasurable way.Though she hadn't been made aware of it, one of the modifications that had been made to her body by the Workshop included 'calibrating' her insides to make them as pleasurable as possible. Had it not been for Vahn, there was a very real chance she would have been sold off as a sex doll of sorts the moment she had reached her limits. To that end, her internal structure had been altered in a way that quickly adapted to her partner, effectively restructuring itself to best accommodate their size and shape. As a result, she was easily able to take Vahn's full length, and, though it caused her to feel short of breath, sensors in her brain trigged a chemical cocktail of endorphins to effectively flood her system.Unable to restrain herself, a sensual moan escaped Arryn's throat as she cupped both sides of her face with an intoxicated look in her eyes. She believed this was the result of her 'compatibility' with Vahn, so, the moment her grabbed her arms, she began twisting her hips in a circle, stirring up her insides as a series of mad trembles ran through her body. This always gave her an irresistible desire to have Vahn treat her a little roughly, so, without fear of censure, she vocalized her thoughts in a sonorous moan, exclaiming, "Please...harder...mess me up...fuck me senseless~!!!"Though he wasn't unaccustomed to Arryn's behavior whenever her 'switch' had been flipped, a wry smile still spread across Vahn's face as he hooked his hands behind her knees before rising from the sofa. He then spread her legs wide in what was known as a 'butterfly position' before increasing the tempo of his thrusts. This caused her words to become even more colorful, but, understanding that some women were simply more vocal than others, he didn't let it bother him. Rather, it gave him an inclination to try a little 'harder', much to Arryn's appreciation...After a solid twenty minutes of rather intense sex, Vahn finished inside of Arryn, pulling her legs together and hugging her close to him in a way he knew she enjoyed. This caused her eyes to roll into the back of her head, but, due to her unique constitution, it only took a few seconds before she recovered completely. She had inexhaustible stamina even before her upgrades, so, with a Dragon's Heart generating virtually infinite energy within her chest, she required neither food, drink, nor rest in order to continue indefinitely. Vahn could override these qualities with the use of Laws, but, as he quite enjoyed her 'persistence', he typically reserved such things until the very end.Fortunately, even if she wanted to continue, Arryn was a very sensible woman, so, once he finally set her down, she gave him a rather passionate kiss before moving to the kitchen to prepare snacks. At the same time, Vahn moved behind Arusha, who, in anticipation for her turn, raised her butt high as she used her elbows as support.Arusha had always been most comfortable with doing it from behind, but, for a number of reasons, she also insisted that he grab her twin-tails as if they were reins. It gave her a sense of fulfillment to be dominated by him, so, while it was a peculiar request, Vahn 'dutifully' invaded her absurdly tight cavern before gripping her black and white twin-tails. Then, as he pushed himself forward, he also pulled her hair back, lifting her elbows from the sofa. This was the main reason she lowered herself to such an extent, and, though her reaction was far tamer than Arryn's, a sensual gasp escaped her throat the moment his glans pressed against her cervix...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Omae wa mou...shikkaku!','Arryn is quite the carnivore o_o...','Vahn is a lucky lad...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh
