Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Though they had already stopped accepting applications for participation, that didn't stop people from flocking to the Sage Dragon's Hearth in droves. Rather, once it became common knowledge that Vahn had the means to hand out hundreds of personalized Gifts without batting an eye, even famous Communities were extending invitations to cooperate. Unfortunately, this wasn't necessarily a good thing..."Your Community has made quite the name for itself these past couple of months. However, if you truly wish to ascend to the top, you'll need the backing of powerful allies. If you agree to become a part of our Alliance, we will do everything in our power to help you reach your full potential."As this was not his first time receiving such an offer, Vahn simply smiled at the handsome, silver-haired man seated across from him. He had sharp, intelligent features, lilac-colored eyes, and an outfit reminiscent of a Shinigami Captain. This included a sleek black kimono fastened by a grey sash, short black socks, black gloves that failed to cover his entire palms, and a dual-colored haori that was white on the outside and royal blue within."I'm afraid your journey has been for naught, Souta-dono. My Community does not require the assistance of others to reach its full potential. If you've nothing else to discuss, please finish your tea and be on your way."Though his expression didn't change, Vahn could tell Souta was bothered by how his previously placid aura began to fluctuate like a flame disturbed by a strong wind. The man was the second son of the Japanese God of Wind, Fuujin. He was also here at the behest of Kotoamatsukami, one of the top three factions within the East Side, so he didn't take kindly to being dismissed in such a succinct manner."Vahn-dono...I implore you to reconsider. As a Pure-Blooded Dragon, you have every right to be confident in your strength. However, raw power becomes meaningless once you transition to the lower-digit Gates. You see, here in the Divine Realm, true power comes from three things: a being's origin, how clearly defined their existence is, and their authority. I believe you've heard about the existence of Poets, yes...?"Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Vahn gestured for Souta to continue. He really didn't care what the man had to say, but, who knows? He might be able to provide an iota of insight into the inner workings of the Divine Realm."You see, Poets have the power to influence concepts and alter the perception of others. To prevent this, denizens of the Divine Realm work tirelessly to cement their 'image' in the hearts and minds of others. The stronger this image is, the more stable their existence becomes. In rare instances, those with clearly defined existence can even develop something known as a Fragment of Origin. Without one, a Poet can redefine who you are on a whim. If they spread a rumor stating you were actually a woman, you would become one. If they said you were as powerless as an ant, you would be..."Unable to restrain the urge, an exasperated sigh escaped Vahn's mouth as he shook his head and asked, "Do you take me for a fool? I am well aware of the existence of Poets. Though their power is as you've professed, the conditions to activate it are extremely strict. If you've got a point to make, get to it. I have better things to do than sit here and listen to you try and scare me into joining the Kotoamatsukami."Suppressing his growing fury, Souta did his best to appear calm as he squinted his lilac eyes and answered, "Our Alliance is backed by three of the most famous Poets in the East Side. Kagutsuchi-sama has also taken an interest in your abilities as a craftsman. So long as you agree to our terms, he is prepared to accept you as his official disciple..."Noticing the 'mockery' in Vahn's eyes, Souta's words gradually trailed off his expression morphed into an unamused glower. He could tell the former wasn't taking him seriously. More importantly, his behavior was a direct insult to Kagutsuchi, the God of Fire and the Patron God of Blacksmiths.Had Vahn been anyone else, Souta would have cut him down on the spot. Unfortunately, even his father, one of the eldest and most powerful Shinto Gods, was cautious of the Dragon seated across from him. After all, Vahn's power was a complete anomaly. They had originally thought he might be a descendant of Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon. Unfortunately, this was quickly refuted by the Jade Palace, who, much like them, had taken an interest in the anomalous Dragon.After taking a deep breath to calm his fury, Souta's expression gradually relaxed as he said, "I had high hopes prior to this visit. I can't express how disappointed I am that things ended up this way..."Shrugging dismissively, Vahn gestured toward the door as he said, "They didn't have to. You could have left when I gave you permission. Instead, you attempt to threaten me and even had the gall to insult me by offering me a position as someone else's disciple. Next time, bring your daddy. Better yet, bring Amaterasu. At least then your threats might have some weight behind them.""How da-"Finished with the conversation, Vahn snapped his fingers and promptly ejected Souta from the Sage Dragon's Hearth. To add insult to injury, he teleported each member of the man's entourage in the air above him. This caused a bit of a scene, but, having already dismissed the arrogant envoy from his mind, Vahn just popped his back before sprawling out and whining, "Lap pillow, lap pillow~" in a mock-spoiled tone.Exhaling a soft, inaudible sigh, Leticia made her way over, monotonously muttering, "Yes, Master..." in a soothing tone as she sat down and guiding Vahn's head to her lap. Then, as her fingers combed through his hair, she asked, "Are you sure about this? While Kotoamatsukami's power might not be a threat to you, their influence among the 4-Digit Communities will make becoming one that much harder...""Mmm...you're not wrong...Confused by Vahn's nonchalance, a very slight frown marred Leticia's doll-like features as she softly inquired, "Then why...?"Since it wasn't really a secret, Vahn just chuckled before explaining, "I have a bit of history with the Shinto Gods. I won't go into too many details but it might amuse you to learn I have, not one, but two Amaterasu(s) in my harem. If you count Tamamo, it's more like 2.5..."Deadpanning in response to Vahn's words, Leticia gave him a light poke as she pointedly asked, "You really do have a thing for women with fluffy ears and tails, don't you...?""Mmm...you're not wrong..."......While Leticia was busy pulling his cheeks in the other room, another version of Vahn was cuddled up in the nursery with Fenrir, Usalia, and several of his children. As for the rest, they were running around and playing with Companions roughly the same size as themselves."This is a lot easier when they have someone else to pester, plip...""Hey now..."Though he didn't mind if she complained when they were alone, Vahn didn't want their children to hear Usalia's grumbling.Realizing what she had said, Usalia's expression paled, ears drooping as she muttered, "Sorry..." in a sincerely apologetic tone. Vahn worked a lot harder than she did when it came to looking after and their children so she couldn't help feeling guilty when she heard the tone he was using.Shaking his head, Vahn's expression softened as he bent down to plant a kiss atop Usalia's. This caused the tensions in her body to relax, but, as was often the case when it came to parenting, that was the exact moment Luna decided to wake up and start crying.Extending his hand, Vahn made a motion as if he was turning down the volume on an analog TV. As a result, Luna's crying quickly became a distant murmur as he retrieved her from Usalia's hands and said, "The two of you can keep relaxing and watching over the children. I'll take care of this."As he spoke, an apparatus resembling false breasts appeared around Vahn's chest. Feeding a dozen ravenous bunnies had left Usalia's breasts feeling pretty tender, so, while he would never transform into her, he didn't mind helping out using artificial mammaries filled with her breast milk.........With the East Side abuzz with conversations regarding the upcoming Gift Game hosted by Vahn and the Sage Dragon's Hearth, it was only natural that Izayoi, Asuka, and Yo had heard the news. Rather, thanks to Black Rabbit, they had learned about the specifics even before the members of Vahn's Community."So, we doing this or what...?"Nodding her head in affirmation, Asuka answered, "Of course. Registration may have already come to an end but there's no way that perverted lizard will be able to refuse a request from Black Rabbit. We just need to convince Jin."Smirking in response to Asuka's words, Izayoi was about to comment when Yo, still garbed in her vanargandr-themes onesie, said, "Asuka...you shouldn't speak badly about Vahn. I know his actions upset you but he was just trying to help...I'm sure of it..."Exhaling a sigh, Asuka cradled her head as she complained, "I really don't understand what you see in that man, Yo. Anyone who surrounds themselves with that many women can't be a good person."Adopting a slight pout, Yo wanted to refute Asuka's words but couldn't. She hadn't really interacted with any boys prior to coming to the Divine Realm but she knew enough to be wary of ruffians and womanizers. She didn't believe Vahn was either, but, knowing he was in a relationship with at least five women made it difficult to argue in his favor..."Hey, don't say that. Having a harem is the dream of men and boys alike. Liking beautiful women doesn't make us bad people. Besides, as far as I can tell, that perverted lizard you mentioned keeps the women around him happy. I might not like the guy but he's clearly doing something right."Snorting through her nose, Asuka elected to simply ignore Izayoi's remark as she said, "Anyways, we still need to convince Jin. After that, we just need to talk to Black Rabbit and decide which of the 43 events we want to participate in. I was considering Horse Racing.""I'll take care of the great runt. As for my event...I was thinking about participating in the Boxing competition. Since we can't use our Gifts, I'm hoping at least one person will be able to withstand my punches."Shaking her head, Asuka muttered, "Men..." in an exasperated whisper before directing her gaze to Yo and asked, "What about you, Yo? I remember you being pretty light on your feet when we first arrived."With a fiery light in her eyes, Yo balled her hands into fists as she said, "I'm going to participate in the Pankration. I'm not sure I can win without my Gift but I'm confident I can secure a medal.""The Pankration? Isn't that the event that combines boxing with wrestling? Are you sure you want to participate in such a violent competition...?"Worried that Yo might be getting in over her head, Asuka was already thinking of ways to try and dissuade her. Unfortunately, her words appeared to have the opposite effect as Yo seemed even more determined, answering, "I want to fight...!" like a typical battle junky. This left Asuka feeling more than a little exasperated, but, not wanting to take the wind out of her friend's sails, she just smiled and said, "Very well, then. Now, let's hurry. If we wait much longer, we might not even be able to participate..."Nodding her head in understanding, Yo bade farewell to Izayoi before accompanying Asuka to track down Black Rabbit. They were confident in Izayoi's ability to convince Jin so they were intending to meet up with their Community's mascot before paying a visit to Vahn at the Sage Dragon's Hearth. Fortunately, Yo had found a pretty nice brush when she and Asuka went shopping so she was a lot more prepared than she was the last time.........(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Souta be like, "My Father will hear of this...!"','Imagine Vahn forgetting to take those off due to a surprise attack...','Ha! Jokes on you. Fenrir has her own brush (O w O)...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

"I refuse.""You can't be serious..."Surprising Asuka, Yo, and even Black Rabbit herself, Vahn immediately shot down their request to participate in the coming Gift Game. This earned him a glare from the former heiress, but, as he had already made up his mind, he just shrugged his shoulders, explaining, "My Community has declared itself a neutral organization. If I made an exception and allowed the No Names to participate, every Community I refused will cry foul play. Since they won't be able to take out their anger on me, who do you think they will target...?"With an expression similar to someone that had just swallowed a bug, Asuka remained completely silent in the face of Vahn's reasoning. Yo, however, appeared completely calm as she said, "That's a shame..." before following it up by asking, "Is Fenrir here...?"Since she didn't want to implicate the children as a result of her selfishness, Yo quickly accepted the reality of the situation. She also knew they would have plenty of opportunities to fight in the future, so, rather than insisting Vahn make an exception, she immediately shifted her attention to far more important matters.Amused by the animal-loving girl's eagerness, a chuckle escaped Vahn's throat as he said, "Thanks for reminding me. I actually have a present for the two of you."Snapping his fingers, Vahn caused two Companions to manifest out of thin air. One resembled a Maneki-neko with calico fur along its backside and crimson red fur lining its stomach. The thing that separated it from a normal Beckoning Cat was the fact it was wearing a cat mask and had two tufts of crimson flame for ears. As for the second Companion, it resembled a cartoonish jackal, but, instead of a normal jackal, its body was covered in sleek obsidian fur with accents of pure gold and ghostly blue. It also had long ears, and, much like the Maneki-neko, its face was covered in a mask.Though Yo's eyes had lit up as if she had just been proposed to by her crush, Asuka adopted a far more cautious demeanor as she asked, "What are these...creatures? Why do their faces look like masks?"Answering in Vahn's stead, Black Rabbit explained, "These are called Companions. They are basically artificially produced Guardian Beasts. Vahn has been developing them to look after members of the Burgeoning Communities Accord."Understanding what Asuka was about to say, Vahn raised his hand to silence her, explaining, "I am well aware of the fact your Community does not belong to the BCA. Also, while it is true these two adorable little fellows are Companions, they are among the first of their kind..."Before explaining what a Companion was, Vahn grabbed the ceramic mask covering the Maneki-neko's face. To the surprise of everyone present, its body spontaneously vanished into strangely cool crimson flames as he positioned the mask over his own face.Similar to when he entered one of his Elemental Emperor forms, Vahn's body released a burst of crimson flames as his clothes instantaneously changed to resemble a stylish crimson yukata with a calico-themed haori. Then, as he raised his hand to produce ghostly crimson flames, he explained, "Normal Companions are life-long partners that protect their user autonomously. This is a variant I developed after drawing inspiration from a special weapon known as a Zanpakuto. Unlike the usual variety, this particular variant shares its strength with its partner and helps to promote their spiritual development. I noticed your Gifts are heavily reliant on the amount of spiritual energy you have so I developed these two with that in mind. Of course, whether or not they accept you as their partners depends entirely on you..."Removing the mask, Vahn used telekinesis to direct it to Yo as the jackal-like Companion walked gracefully to Asuka. It didn't actually have a gender, but, based on its inordinate beauty and the natural grace in which it moved, most people would assume it was female."You're just giving these to us...?"Though she had no idea what a Zanpakuto was, Asuka understood enough to know that these Companions would shake the very foundation of Little Garden society. Even humans relied on the development of spiritual energy to transcend their limits. If people learned Vahn had developed a means to naturally promote that growth, they would spare no effort to obtain it for themselves.Shaking his head, Vahn's expression became stern as he said, "Companions are not objects. They are sapient creatures with thoughts and feelings. If you regard them as pets or convenient tools to increase your power, they will promptly abandon you."While there were still a number of questions she wanted to ask, Asuka was silenced as Yo, without a moment's hesitation, placed the mask on her face. The Vanargandr-themed onesie she was wearing immediately burst into flames. In its wake, an outfit similar to the one Vahn was wearing manifested to cover her body. Instead of a Yukata, however, she was wearing a calico-themed kimono wrapped in a crimson obi. As for her haori, it was pure white on the outside, crimson on the inside, and lined with golden trim. Last but not least, she had a bright red collar around her neck with a large golden bell resting between her collarbones."Whoa..."Feeling a surge of power spread through her body, Yo couldn't help issuing a soft exclamation. She didn't know how to describe it but it was like her perception had expanded beyond the confines of her body. More importantly, she could still feel a connection to the power she had borrowed from Fenrir.Trusting her instincts, Yo manifested a peculiar magenta flame in her hand. At the same time, a chill began to spread through the room, as, unlike a normal flame, the pretty purple fire was powered by pure Yin Elemental Energy.Seeing Yo produce flames in both hands as if it was the simplest thing in the world, most of Asuka's inhibitions faded away. She was actually the weakest among her, Yo, and Izayoi, so, after a moment of deliberation, she gazed into the ghostly blue eyes of the jackal and asked, "Will you lend me your strength...?"As it had been specifically attuned to Asuka's aura, the jackal Companion merely nodded its head before presenting it to her. In response, Asuka grabbed the edge of its mask and pulled, confusion marring her expression as she felt absolutely no resistance. In fact, as far as she could tell, the mask didn't even have a mass. She could feel it in her hands but the sensation was similar to placing your hand over the vent of an AC on the lowest setting.Shaking away her fears, a resolute light flashed across Asuka's eyes as she placed the mask over her face. Her red and white dress immediately burst into ghostly blue flames. Appearing in its place was a form-fitting outfit comprised of an obsidian-blue material accented with gold and blue. It left very little to the imagination, and, to make matters even worse, at least in Asuka's opinion, she now had a long and slender tail protruding from her backside.If it was just the tail, Asuka wouldn't have minded. In fact, she actually thought it looked kind of cool. The problem was that her outfit was basically a futuristic plugsuit. It hugged her body like a leotard and allowed everyone and their mother to view its contours at their leisure.Covering her modest yet developing breasts, Asuka glared at Vahn as if he were her mortal enemy, shouting, "I should have known you would pull something like this! You...you damned perverted lizard...!"Were it not for the mask covering her face, everyone present would have been able to see Asuka's beet-red face. She even had tears pooling in the corners of her eyes as she had never in her entire life felt this level of embarrassment.Reacting to Asuka's surging emotions, ghostly blue flames began to manifest around her body as space within the room began to billow outward, distorting the shape of the room.Ignoring Asuka's remarks regarding his perversion, Vahn nodded his head, muttering, "Not bad..." in an audibly impressed tone. Asuka may have had no idea what she was doing but it was still quite a feat to distort the remarkably stable space within the Sage Dragon's Hearth.Thinking he was commenting on her figure, Asuka's face became even redder as she extended her hand to produce a torrent of blue flames. Unfortunately, the flames immediately dissipated as Vahn said, "Calm down. If you confer with your Companion, you'll learn that your appearance has nothing to do with me. Rather, I'm guessing they just prefer sleek and slender designs. If you ask nicely, they should also be able to make adjustments. You really need to stop lashing out at every opportunity."Though she was anything but calm, Asuka did her best to suppress her turbulent emotions as she attempted to communicate with her Companion. To her considerable relief, she was immediately greeted by a soft and velvety voice that had no qualms with making adjustments to her outfit so long as it didn't feel restrictive or interfere with their movements.While it wasn't much better, Asuka felt considerably less embarrassed when an Egyptian gown manifested to cover her body. The skirt was a little on the shorter side, barely covering half her thighs, but it was infinitely better than walking around in a skin-tight bodysuit. She already had to tolerate the leers of countless men. The last thing she needed was them staring at the contours of her breasts and butt with only a thin piece of cloth concealing them."Now that our resident Ojou-sama has calmed down, how about a short recess? I'm not going to change my mind regarding your participation in the coming Gift Game but I can at least fill your bellies before sending you on your way."Though his words weren't intended to be an innuendo, Vahn noticed the auras of all three girls fluctuate to varying degrees. The roots of Black Rabbit's hair had even started to turn pink as she had been thinking about pregnancy with increasing frequency over the past couple of months.Restraining a wry smile, Vahn took the initiative to rise first, saying, "I'll be in the kitchen preparing the food. If you don't want to wait, feel free to look around. Fenrir is in the nursery and the onsen is always available if you want to take a bath. Food should be ready in about twenty minutes."On that note, Vahn departed from the room in a flash of pale-blue light. In his wake, Black Rabbit, now sporting pink hair, looked towards Asuka and Yo, saying, "I knew Vahn was incredibly generous but I never expected him to simply give away something so incredible. If converted into Gifts, those Companions might be graded as high as S-Rank. I'm not sure the two of you realize just how lucky you are to have received such an amazing gift..."Snorting through her nose, Asuka was briefly tempted to refute Black Rabbit's words but ultimately decided against it. She wasn't a fool. Rather, back in her world, she regarded as a prodigy in terms of business acumen. Sure, her Authority helped but it wasn't like she had been mind-controlling the entire world. If she made bad decisions, they would have come back to bite her.Simply put, Asuka understood when she was getting an incredible deal and when she should hold her tongue. She could also tell Black Rabbit was head over heels for the perverted dragon, so, while she still suspected Vahn had an ulterior motive, she wasn't going to badmouth him right in front of his lover.While that, and many other complicated thoughts were running through Asuka's mind, Yo had a much simpler view of things. Her mask concealed it but a happy smile had developed across her face as she pressed the tips of her fingers together and mused, "I can't wait to show this form to Calico Cat. He is going to be so happy now that we match..."......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Rohan be like...','Casually creating world-breaking creatures...','Yo is precious (U w U)...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

"You don't have to participate, but this is an opportunity to gain publicity and begin building a legend of your own. If you intend to become a God or something similar, you'll need to work hard to obtain a Divinity. I can prolong your life and provide numerous forms of biological immortality but it is against my principles to grant power arbitrarily."Though he had jumped the gun a bit by deciding to host a Gift Game, Vahn was still interested to hear what everyone else thought. Thus, after explaining the events in detail, he had asked for their input while making it clear they didn't actually have to participate if they didn't want to.Fortunately, even Seraphina seemed interested in participating, musing, "There's a shooting event? Count me in. It's high time the people of the Little Garden were afforded the privilege of witnessing their future Empress in action. Oh-hohohohohohoho~."Understanding she would probably go on a rant if he made a comment, Vahn just nodded his head in remark to Seraphina's statement before passing his gaze over the rest of the table.As the first person Vahn had set his sights on, Usalia's expression morphed into a slight pout as she said, "I want to participate in the Pankration, but I don't want any men to touch me..."Combining the events of boxing and wrestling, the Pankration was widely considered to be one of the most ancient forms of mixed martial arts. Its origins could be traced back to the battle between Theseus and the Minotaur of the Labyrinth. Thus, when it came to ancient Olympic sports, it was the most celebrated among the entire roster. After all, people absolutely adored watching other people beat the living daylights out of each other.Having already taken this into consideration, Vahn supplied a curt nod before explaining, "Each of the events has been sub-divided into men's and women's categories. I can't promise there won't be any opportunistic perverts among the female competitors but there are precautions to prevent any mishaps."As that was her only real concern, Usalia visibly relaxed as an expectant smile developed across her face. She doubted any of the competitors would be able to compete with her but she was looking forward to the opportunity to demonstrate her power. The way people looked at her when she was walking around with Vahn always bothered her so she wanted to prove she wasn't some trophy just anyone could admire.While offering a silent prayer for anyone unfortunate enough to cross Usalia's path, Vahn shifted his attention to Fenrir. To his surprise, she seemed to have already made her decision, a serious look on her face as she said, "I'm going to participate in the javelin toss."Though her decision was a little odd, it had been decades since Vahn questioned Fenrir's decisions. Instead, he just adopted a smile, musing, "I almost feel bad for the people competing against you."Snorting through her nose with a proud expression on her face, Fenrir's tail began to gently waggle even as Vahn's attention shifted to Shirayukihime.Understanding it was her turn to speak, Hime adopted a slightly awkward smile as she asked, "Does the women's swimming event require a swimsuit?"Nodding his head, Vahn explained, "For the sake of fairness, each competitor will be supplied all the necessary equipment to participate. There is also a provision that prohibits the use of Divinity, Gifts, Spiritual Energy, and Magic. In other words, everyone will be competing using their physical bodies. After all, this is a friendly competition."Since he knew she would ask, Vahn created a three-dimensional projection of Hime wearing a white and blue sports swimsuit. It left very little to the imagination but it was a heck of a lot more modest than the string bikini she was expecting.Though she couldn't help exhaling a sigh, Hime still nodded her head in understanding. Swimming was the only event she could realistically compete in without her powers, so, unless she chose to sit this one out, her options were limited. Since she wanted to be of service to her Master, Vahn, there was no way around it. She would swallow her shame and do her best.Resisting the temptation to remind Hime that she could participate using her true body, Vahn just smiled before shifting his attention to the next person in line, Sarina. When their eyes met, he could see her throat move up and down, a faint blush developing across her face as she stated, "I'm going to participate in the Horse Race. I'm not all that confident in my strength but I learned how to ride a horse during my time in the Game Board. I prefer a saddle but I'm confident riding bareback..."Now understanding the reason for Sarina's blush, a light chuckle emanated from Vahn's throat as every girl at the table shifted their gazes to the raven-haired teen. Seraphina, in particular, seemed genuinely impressed by Sarina's bravado, hand covering her mouth as she exclaimed, "Oh my! How bold~!"Blushing even fiercer due to Seraphina's remark, Sarina eventually had to cover her face with both hands before sinking into her chair. Her remark had been intentional but that didn't mean it wasn't embarrassing.Sparing Sarina the awkwardness of prolonged silence, Vahn restrained his laughter as he directed a smile towards Nono. In response, the auburn-haired beauty returned a delicate smile of her own as she softly declared, "I will stay home to look after the children."Understanding that Nono was functionally powerless without her Gifts, Vahn simply nodded his head in understanding before shifting his gaze to the only person not seated at the table, Leticia. She took her duties as his 'Personal Maid' very seriously, so, while everyone else was sitting around the table, she had been standing next to him in a black and white maid outfit.Offering a curt yet polite bow, Leticia raised her head before stating, "I was going to participate in the Javelin Toss. However, as that honor has been taken by Lady Fenrir, I have chosen to participate in the archery event. I am confident in my ability to secure the Gold Medal."Though her words might sound arrogant to others, Vahn knew full well that Leticia was more than capable of securing the gold. There was a chance an outlier might appear, but, unless they were a literal God or some kind of Ancient Titan, there was little chance of them outperforming Leticia in a contest of strength and accuracy...-----------------------------------------------[Status]Name: Leticia Vespula DraculeaAge: 1637(23,492), AgelessRace: Vampire Lord, Demon, True Dragon(sealed)Parameters: [Transcendental Path to Heaven]Strength: 19,688,012SAgility: 401,444ADexterity: 712,105AIntelligence: 742,259ALuck: 19,411BSpirit: 1,005,437AWisdom: 882,599SCharisma: 629,793SDivinity: N/AAuthority: Overall Floor Master(sealed), Sun Authority: Ophiuchus(sealed)Soul Tier: 5Karma: 56,713,294,112,003(A/N: O_O...)Innate(s): [Child of Destiny: SSS], [Shinso Origin Bloodline: SSS], [Descendant of the Dragon: SS], [Lord of Shadows: SS], [Ophiuchus: (sealed)]Gift(s): [Lord of Vampire: SS], [Deceased Dragon's Portrait: S], [Sun Authority: Ophiuchus(sealed)], [Game Board: Millennium Castle(sealed)], [Game Board: Twilight Castle(sealed)]Talent(s): [Etiquette: S], [Swordsmanship: A], [Spearmanship: A], [Archery: A], [Riding: A], [Shadow Manipulation: SS], [Service: A], [Cooking: B], [Cleaning: B], literally hundreds more~.-----------------------------------------------While her parameters were quite a bit lower than his, disregarding Luck and Karma, Leticia was head and shoulders over the average resident of the Little Garden. Once he helped her to recover her Divinity, she would grow even stronger.Nodding his head in approval of his own thoughts, a smile developed across Vahn's face as he clapped his hands together and exclaimed, "Great! With the exception of Nono, everyone seems to have decided on the event they want to participate in. If you'd like to practice, just let me know. I've already finished working on the Game Board quite some time ago. The actual event is in seven days but I can literally give you as much time as you need."Though his words weren't intended as an innuendo, a rather fierce blush developed across Sarina's face. This left Vahn feeling a little helpless, but, considering they had spent weeks indulging in sex over the past two and a half days, he wasn't too surprised. Her stamina was a little lacking but she was quite the little nymph in the bedroom.Ignoring Sarina's reaction, at least for the moment, Vahn looked around to see if anyone else had anything to say before promptly dismissing them. They had already eaten dinner and it was long past their usual bedtime. This meant his night was only just beginning, but, rather than complain, he was quite looking forward to it.........As the others were all pretty confident in their ability to secure a Gold Medal, the only person to take Vahn up on his offer, at least officially, was Hime. He had told her she could use her dragon form if she really wanted to, but, fearing she might lower the Community's reputation by resorting to such methods, Hime was determined to win the event in her human form.Fortunately for Vahn, this meant he got to watch Hime swimming back and forth in a massive pool a literal kilometer in length. She had always been a remarkably beautiful woman, but, seeing her in a form-fitting one-piece that perfectly hugged her figure, he couldn't help feeling like the luckiest man in existence."I'm glad you asked me to accompany you. This memory is going straight into my most cherished collection. Hahahahahaha~."Having just pulled herself out of the water, Hime nearly slipped and hit the edge of the pool when she heard Vahn's words. She was, fortunately, able to catch herself but when she looked up at him her usually impassive expression had morphed into an extremely bashful look as she blushed to the very tips of her pointed, elf-like ears."Master...please don't say such things without warning...I need to prepare my heart..."Demonstrating just how bashful she could be, Hime elected to sit on the edge of the pool with her back facing Vahn. She had been seen naked by him countless times, but, no matter how much time they spent together, she still behaved like a chaste maiden. It was honestly adorable, and, for a brief moment, Vahn had to summon every ounce of his willpower just to resist pushing her into the pool and promptly joining her.("Stay focused...")(*...*)Ignoring the judgmental silence in the back of his mind, Vahn suppressed his rising urges as he held up his stopwatch and asked, "You ready to go again? If you're feeling sore, I can give your arms and legs a quick massage. Nothing lewd."Though her first instinct was to politely refuse, Hime's mind blanked when she heard Vahn promise he wouldn't do anything lewd. She would never admit it, but, for a very brief moment, she actually felt a little disappointed..."Very well..."Since she was feeling sore after swimming several kilometers with her powers sealed, Hime waited for Vahn to place down a towel before laying flat on her stomach. Her body tensed and began to heat up the moment he knelt next to her, but, true to his word, Vahn never once targeted any of her more sensitive regions. Instead, he focused primarily on her calves, the lower half of her thighs, and the muscles supporting her rotator cuffs. This helped her muscles relax but it also caused her to feel a growing frustration until Vahn leaned down to whisper, "If you improve your time by ten seconds, I'll make sure to give you a proper 'reward'..."......Fortunately for Shirayukihime, Vahn was nothing if not a man of his word.......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Vahn isn't going to let any other men touch his wives/lovers xD...','Sarina is quite bold (O w O)...','Dragon waifu working hard~')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh
