I was walking in a snowstorm. Or should I say I was lost in a snowstorm. Even the clothes I had made of animal skins couldn't keep me warm. My vision was blurred.

How long had I been in Dimension X-103? Ten years? Who counted anymore? Who cared about anything anymore? It had been years since I last bothered having sex with a Hekapoo clone. It had been years since I last bothered with anything.

My first years in Hekapoo's dimension hadn't been that bad. I had fun working out, chasing Hekapoo's clones and fucking them after I blew out their flames. At some point, I even managed to make makeshift condoms of leaves, which I would use with Hekapoo clones... sometimes! However, past a point, having sex with essentially the same woman everyday for years became boring. The whole process (work out, chase and fuck) became boring. I began doubting whether I would ever manage to get the scissors. Was it even possible? Or was it just a trick so that that madwoman would keep me there forever, essentially not a prisoner in her dimension but rather a prisoner in my own stubborness and refusal to give up.

In any case, that must have been the first time all those years I considered giving up. But then what? Giving up and doing what? Going home? Well, as Hekapoo's clones had told me several times in the past, I could just mentally command it and the portal to my home would instantly appear before me. But what kind of home would I go to? Was I even part of that home anymore? Would anyone remember me? Myself, I only vaguely remembered that girlfriend I used to have back in Japan. What was her name again? Astana, I think. And what did that Astana chick look like? If I was not mistaken, she had black hair, green eyes and hispanic skin.

No, I couldn't go back. Even if I no longer cared that much about the scissors, I had to take them, since I had nothing else to live for. I would either take them or die trying. Actually, the second prospect was really likely at that moment. Hunger and cold were mercilessly tormenting me.

Everything went black.

I abruptly sat up. I found myself in a cave. It was so warm and pleasant in there! I was lying on a makeshift bed, covered by a blanket, close to a fire.

'What the...'

'WHOAH, easy, big boy,' I heard a female voice. 'You're still too weak.'

I turned my head and saw an ebony skinned, muscular girl. She looked tough. She had purple, middle length hair and crimson eyes. She was almost nude, the only garments on her body being a green skirt and a sleeveless upper garment the same color, obviously made of animal skins. Also, she was wearing a nose ring.

'You passed out in the snow,' she explained with a smile. 'You're lucky that I found you.'

'Aren't you cold like that?' I wondered, surprised.

'You're welcome,' she chuckled sarcastically, as a way of telling me that I should have thanked her for saving me first.

I blushed.

'To answer your question, though,' she walked over to me, 'I'm tougher than you think, sweetie. Stick around with me and maybe you will become like me someday.'

I smiled, now feeling more relaxed. 'I'm Kirito, by the way,' I offered my hand.

'Brunzetta,' she introduced herself, reciprocating the handshake.

As soon as our hands touched, my crotch bulged. Brunzetta noticed the blanket on the crotch area swelling. 'It seems you're happy to meet me,' she giggled.

I blushed again.

'Don't worry, I'm not prude or anything,' she carried on. 'I don't have a taboo against having sex with someone I just met. But I think you still need rest.'

'No, I don't,' I snapped, my erection having doubled in size after I heard Brunzetta saying she had no taboos.

I jumped to my feet. 'Look at me. I'm fine,' I danced around her.

Brunzetta scratched her chin and gave me a provocative look. 'Okay, how about this,' she playfully started. 'Let's spar. For every hit you manage to lay on me, I'll take off one of my clothes. If you manage to strip me to nudity this way, we'll fuck right here, right now.'

In other words, I had to hit her just twice. My erection tripled in size! 'On it,' I cried.

And so, our match began. At first, we would just dance around each other, testing out each other, waiting for the right moment to strike. Finally, after spending some minutes this way, I was the first to attack.

The match became more and more intense as time passed. Brunzetta was strong and fast. Perhaps too skilled for me. Well, the fact that I was still tired and hungry definitely was a factor too, but, even if I had been at full power, I don't think I would have done much better. That chick was on a whole different level!

After having received several painful blows from her, I managed to hit her once, though I suspect that she had just let me do it, because she, too, wanted to get laid with me.

We took a break. 'A promise is a promise,' Brunzetta winked and took off her upper garment. My eyes bulged.

We resumed. Now it was even harder to concentrate on the battle, with those bare, jiggling boobs in plain sight!

After I received even more hits, even more than I could count, Brunzetta extended her arm, palm open, as a halt gesture. I stopped and looked at her with uncertainty.

She sighed. 'Since it seems you won't manage to hit me a second time, no matter how easy I go on you, even if you keep trying till the end of time, let's just forget about the bet and proceed to do what we obviously both want to do.'

Darn. I had been utterly defeated by that gal. It seemed I had a lot to learn. I hoped she would teach me in the futu... WAIT, WHAT DID SHE SAY?

Brunzetta took off her skirt! I almost nosebled!

With a battle cry, she charged at me and forced my back to the floor. Next thing I knew, she was on top of me and undressing me at lightning speed. Before I could even recover from my back pain caused by my falling on the hard cave floor, we were already nude and making out!

I moaned in her mouth in joy, delighted that, at last, I was having sex with a woman other than Hekapoo. I felt like someone who had been eating the same food everyday for a long time and they suddenly were presented with a different dish.

I raised my arms, stroked her back and squeezed her juicy ass. She moaned in my mouth.

I tried to turn us over, but I couldn't; she was freakishly strong!

'Please, let me turn us over,' I begged when my mouth was finally free.

'No. I will turn us over,' she smiled.

The next moment, my body having been dragged by her impressive strength, I found myself on top of her.

'Come on, horny boy,' she provoked me, squeezing her boobs. 'Play with those two beauties. I know you want it!'

I hungrily lowered my head onto her chest, her laughing with amusement at how impatient I was. I burrowed my head between her breasts, sucking, kissing, groping and squeezing them, eliciting moans from her.

I took hold of her arm and kissed her awesome triceps and biceps while holding and caressing her hardened hand.

I descended and enjoyed the rest of her muscular body: her defined abs, her developed thighs, her toned calves; even her feet (which I didn't neglect to kiss) were impressive.

'Let's take it to the bed,' I whispered at some point.

She gave me a mocking look. 'Softie, are we?'

'Yes,' I admited with a chuckle.

'Okay, princess, let your knight take you to the bed,' she laughed heartily.

Taking me by surprise, she stood up, lifted my whole body and started walking over to the bed, carrying me bridal style!

I chuckled. I realized I liked it.

'Want me to give you a little dance before placing you on your comfy bed?' Brunzetta chuckled.

'Sure,' I nodded, purring in her arms like a baby being cradled by its mommy.

Brunzetta started dancing around in the room, carrying me, without her arms trembling or showing any other sign of fatigue! Past a point, she lowered her head and started giving me a blowjob, still carrying me around!

I closed my eyes, tossed my head back and moaned. That was so beautiful. I wouldn't mind orgasming that way and sending several years worth of cum down her throat. But Brunzetta had other ideas!

'Enough,' she raised her head and winked. 'Your cum is for my pussy.'

She gently positioned me on the bed and got on top of me. I shoved my dick in her vagina. Her ensuing moan was purely one of pleasure; it didn't hurt her at all. Although her not feeling pain could be just due to her toughness, I don't think she was a virgin. There is no way a woman like her was a virgin. Not that I would ever ask her about her past over the following years that we would spend together going on adventures, though.

But, for now, let's focus on this moment! I began thrusting, the woman's arms and legs firmly wrapped around me. If anyone felt pain at that moment, it was me! I kinda felt I was losing my virginity again, after all those years I had gone without sex.

Brunzetta and I were now cuddling after our aforementioned sex session. We were lying sideways, her massive arm over my shoulder and her massive leg over my obliques. She was caressing my back thighs with her heel.

'I think you need some food to replenish your strength,' she suggested at some point, kissing my hair.

'Yes, please,' I cried. I had just realized how hungry I was.

Brunzetta laughed and stood up. 'Okay, let's eat now. Then we will sleep and, tomorrow, your real training begins.'

'Brunzetta?'

'What?'

'Thanks.'

'For what?'

'For everything. You're not just a hot woman. You are an amazing person.'

Brunzetta laughed and playfully slapped my ass. 'Get up. Dinner time.'

Asuna's POV... (about 5 minutes after Kirito left)

Star, Leafa and I were trying to find Hekapoo's dimension. The only way to do that was to try all open portals before us. And so, for the following minutes, we would select the wrong portals, ending up in weird dimensions, with weird creatures delaying us. Meanwhile, Kirito spent more years in that dimension and who knows what was happening to him.
