Zee was almost vibrating with lust as she looked down at the topless goddess on her knees in front of her. She took a shuddering breath. "Just to clarify, you want me to use you? Treat you like a slut?' Dreamer nodded and Zee's grin turned devilish. "Fine then slut. Kiss me." Dreamer made to stand up but Zee muttered a word and forced her back to her knees. "I didn't say you could stand, slut. I said kiss me. " Dreamer's eyes widened in lust, and she swallowed, before leaning down to kiss one of Zee's boots.

My girlfriend gave a happy sigh, letting the pretty goddess kiss her way up one leg, then along her thigh until she got where she wanted her. Zee rolled her hips. "You waiting for an invitation baby girl? I've got a pair of lips that need a nice long kiss." Dreamer nodded, flushed and obviously aroused. She hooked a finger in Zee's pants and pulled them down, struggling to slip them over that fat ass before finally exposing my girlfriends soaking pussy to us both. She leaned forward to tentatively to give her a slow lick.

Zee grabbed a handful of her hair, shoving her face between her pillow thighs. "I said a kiss slut, not a peck. put that tongue to work." Dreamer latched onto her pussy with her pretty purple lips, gluing herself to her new mistress as she tongue fucked her. Zee gave a quiet moan. "Oh fuck. You do that so good. I knew when I first saw you that you belonged on your knees. You enjoying that treat slut?" Dreamer moaned, eating more frantically as she grabbed a handful of each ass cheek and licked my girl out proper.

Seeing a big tittied goddess licking my girlfriends cunt was probably one of the hottest things I'd ever experienced, but Zee wasn't content for me to just watch. "Morgan, come over here." I did, she wasn't being bossy with me like she was with Dreamer, she was just a bit distracted. When I got close enough she yanked me over next to her, fished my cock out and shoved it into Dreamers soft hand. "Jerk his dick slut. Make him cum on you while lick my twat." Her voice was lusty and very excited, and I had to grin.

My sheltered little catholic girlfriend turned sex goddess was a huge fan of dirty talk. I could tell she was enjoying this too, the chance to do something naughty and forbidden with me. The feeling of Dreamers tongue stroking along inside her. I groaned as the goddess started her handjob and leaned in to whisper in Zee's ear. "That feel good baby?" She moaned, nodding, much less dominant when she was answering me. "Is her pretty little tongue as much fun in your cunt as you imagined?"

She giggled. "She's eating me so good baby. This fucking tongue was made for this. Does her hand feel nice? Is she treating that fat cock right? Gods I want to see her pretty face get painted white while she'd tongue deep in my pussy." She ground her hips. "You enjoying that cunt, slut?" Dreamer moaned and Zee grinned toothily. "Well here, how about I help you enjoy it even more." Her eyes flashed with purple lightning and Dreamer moaned, licking harder, clenching Zee's fat ass cheeks harder as my girl groaned.

I raised an eyebrow at that and she gave me a lazy grin from under hooded eyes. "She's getting that electricity you enjoyed the other night. It's running down her tongue straight to her pussy. Every lick she gives me feels like ten for her." She groaned. "Fuck, she's getting sloppy too, keep that tongue focused slut, eat that pussy." It was seriously cute how much Zee enjoyed saying dirty words during sex, presumably a holdover from her sheltered upbringing.

Dreamer for he part just moaned cutely into my girlfriends twat and cranked up her handjob. She was good too. Nice grip, soft hands, good speed but with a light touch so there wasn't too much friction. I was pretty sure she'd done this before, and I was a bit jealous that she was tongue deep in Zee's snatch because I bet she could suck dick pretty well. Still, I wasn't going to complain about getting jerked off by a literal goddess, especially give her fat tits bouncing lightly under us as she worked her hand.

I reached down to grab a handful of tit with one hand and to cup her hand with my other as we squeezed Zee's ass together. The feel of fat goddess tits in my hand as I groped my girlfriends dumptruck ass was pretty much the best thing I'd ever experienced, and getting jerked off while it happened was certainly not hurting. Zee looked so turned on by my actions, grabbing me to kiss my fiercely, and I got to enjoy the cute little moans she let out as she got her cunt licked.

I groaned as I felt myself start to build up for an orgasm. This was insanely hot and I was going to blow. Of course I'd stay hard through it, two hundred fifty vitality wasn't for show, but I was going to blow my load soon. I pulled back to murmur in her ear. "Fuck, baby I'm gonna cum." I groped Dreamer a bit harder, rolling her nipple between two fingers as she picked up speed, jerking me off faster. I knew she'd heard me, and she fucking wanted it.

Zee groaned loudly, hissing. "Yes! Do it baby, paint her pretty face. Cum on our slut!" The glow in her eyes was brightening with excitement and lust, and I felt her ass bounce as she started grinding her hips, trying to wring as much pleasure out of Dreamers tongue as possible. I looked down at the goddess and Zee giggled. "Don't look at her baby, look at me. She want's it. Want's to feel hot cum on her skin while she licks pussy. Don't you slut?" Dreamer gave a happy moan and nodded between Zee's legs.

That was enough to set me off and I saw Zee's face flash with lust as she grabbed me and pulled me into a fierce kiss as I came. I groaned into her lips as I felt my balls clench up, releasing rope of rope of hot cum across the face of the still very busy goddess as she squealed her own orgasm into my girlfriends pussy. Feeling my cum on her skin must have set her off before she went much harder and Zee joined us both in orgasm as she squealed into my mouth. I had to grab her and hold her up with the hand that had been on her ass because her knees went weak from how hard she came.

We all slumped to the ground in a pile. Dreamer had a dreamy smile on her face that fit her name pretty perfectly, Zee was drooling, and I felt fucking fantastic. My girlfriend was groping Dreamers fat tits still, seemingly unable to get enough of the goddess's jumbo funbags, and the barely conscious goddess mewled happily at the feeling as she wiped the cum off her face, licking it slowly from her fingers. As expected I was hard as hell watching it with no refractory time needed and I climbed up on top of her.

I looked at each girl for confirmation. Dreamer also looked to Zee, who licked her lips excitedly. "Do it baby. Fuck her. Show her how that devil cock feels." Dreamer looked confused. Zee grinned, clearly deciding to do some roleplaying. "Yeah, my man is a devil, he's gonna shove that fat demonic cock in your little goddess pussy while I put that sweet tongue back to work. Doesn't that sound nice?" Her voice was husky and lustful, and Dreamer shivered a bit in expectation, nodding with a fascinated smile. Zee kissed her, licking some of my cum from her lips. "Good girl. Do it baby."

I pulled Dreamers pants down and saw as expected she was sopping wet and totally ready for me. I gave Zee a stern look. "Hold on a second." She nodded, sensing I was serious, and I turned to Dreamer. "Playing is all well and good, but this is probably the biggest cock you've ever taken. It's going to be tight. I figure your body can handle it, but are you sure you want me to fuck you? Zee is a bit special so she can take me fine, but you're the first other woman I'll be fucking, so it might be tougher for you."

Zee nodded in understanding, shooting the goddess a questioning look. Dreamer looked pensive. "I...I believe so. Can you start slow? I admit you're by far the most well endowed man I've ever seen." Which was fair. My cock was basically unusable on anyone who didn't have a stretchy god tier sex elf pussy. Luckily Dreamers pussy was most likely also god tier, so hopefully she could handle me. I pressed my cock against her wet pussy and pushed. Just the head at first, then slowly a bit more.

Dreamers cunt was...soft. It was tight too of course, but the first thing I noticed was the feeling of her pussy. How soft and sweet it was around me. I felt like I was fucking the platonic ideal of silk. My eyes actually fluttered a bit. "Holy shit baby this is good pussy. She doesn't grip me like yours does, and she isn't nearly as tight as your ass, but shes so fucking soft it's unreal." I kept pushing, giving her another inch at a time. It felt fucking heavenly, literally I supposed. I looked down at the wide eyed goddess on my dick. "How does it feel?"

Dreamer gasped. "So...so full. I've never felt like this, like my body is right at the edge of exploding. There's not a single micron of space left inside me. It's so good." I was balls deep in her now, and she was right, I was lucky she took it all because she wasn't getting even a bit more that this much inside her. She turned to Zee. "Mistress, please. let me taste you again? The lightning on my tongue, I want to feel it while he's inside me." Her eyes were hungry and full of lust and I had to grin at the eagerness.

So did Zee, she swung a thigh over Dreamers head and dropped her still twitching twat on the goddess's face. She started to grind on her mouth, and I FELT the lightning course through dreamers body and into her cunt. I groaned in joy, pulling out and then sliding back in, slowly picking up my pace. The sight of those fat tits jiggling as we fucked combined with Zee's fat ass on her face and the soft feel of her pussy was driving me wild. I slapped Zee's ass, and the spike of enjoyment ran through her cunt and then through Dreamer and into my cock.

I groaned at the sensation, slapping her ass again. It was like a circuit, energy running through our bodies every time my hand made contact with her ass cheek. Each time the electricity became stronger, louder. I felt my balls start to clench again as Dreamers heavenly pussy milked me even harder with every spank I gave Zee. I picked up speed, slamming away at Dreamers pussy as I slapped Zee's ass bright red. I pulled Dreamers legs to my chest to change my angle, wanting to hit her a bit different and the squeals turned into joyful muffled screams, her aura telling me she loved it.

I pounded into her as hard and fast as I could and finally I felt my orgasm start to build. I fucked her harder and faster, ramping up until finally my balls clenched and I blew my load deep inside the little goddess. My orgasm made me slap Zee's ass a bit harder, which made her flare her lightning, which made Dreamer cum, which made her cunt even better, and the cycle repeated a few more times until she'd milked every drop from my balls. I slumped down on top of the New God. Ok, that had been pretty great.

January 6th 2011 New Genesis 10:00 PM EDT

Post cleanup I'd expected things to be awkward, but I'd been wrong thankfully. Dreamer was cheerful and positive about the whole thing. "That was wonderful, thank you. It was truly beautiful to be a part of your love. It's easy to see your feelings for each other are strong." She flushed a bit. "And...thank you for indulging my more masochistic tendencies. I really enjoyed our time together." Her shyness was adorable, and I couldn't help but like her a bit more for that comment about how in love we were. I'm a sucker for flattery, sue me.

Zee seemed pleased too. "Not at all! We were so glad to spend time with you. You're gorgeous and sweet and we've been interested for a while. Honestly I hope I didn't go overboard. I'm not used to taking charge like that and I was worried I might have been a bit extreme." She was also blushing cutely, Zee's confidence in bed tended to wane somewhat when we weren't naked. She wasn't self conscious or anything but she definitely had less bravado.

Dreamer gave her a reassuring smile. "Not at all. I'd have let you know. As the level headed member of my group I'm used to looking out for everyone else. The opportunity to let down my guard was nice. Plus the two of you are lovely people, I've very much enjoyed getting to know you. I haven't taken a lover in some time, never mind two of them, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself tonight." Based on what we'd noticed New Gods were a lot more open about sexuality. It was less surprising for her to show interest here than it would have been on Earth.

Still free love aside I knew Zee was interested in more. I decided to take the initiative. "We enjoyed ourselves too. We'd love a chance to continue getting to know you. Not just as a sexual partner but like we have been, talking and learning more about you. Maybe we could take you to dinner and spend time with you some more." That was the closest I knew how to get to asking her on a date based on New Genesis customs, but I was sure Zee could take it from there.

Dreamer's smile brightened even further. "That sounds lovely. I have to admit I find you two a bit intoxicating. You're both very attractive, and I've never met a man so...gifted." She glances over me hungrily, and I can't help but feel a flash of pride. Zee looks almost as turned on by the comment as I am, but Dreamer derails with a cough and a blush. "Apologies, like I said it had been a while, and I've never been filled up like that before. Being between you two was...transcendent."

She'd put on a new shirt sadly, but even still I could remember how gorgeous she'd looked under me. She'd certainly taken to Zee's new pleasure lightning well, if her aura was anything to go by. Deciding that the romantic stuff would get awkward if we went on about it I decided to change the subject. "So, I don't think I asked, where are your friends? I know you had to come home to look after your sister, but home from where? Might give us a better idea of when they're coming back to know where you guys were exploring."

She grinned. "Skyland. Specifically the last I heard they were in the thirteen heavens. The Skylords rule there. That pantheon is actually worshipped on your earth. All of the gods that are worshipped in the multiverse have sections of the Skylands that they call their own. We spend a great deal of our exploration time in the Skylands, enjoying meeting the various pantheons and seeing amazing things." Her voice was soft and happy as she spoke, and she had a nostalgic smile on her face for a minute before she shook it off. "They'll probably be back soon, I'd say a month at most."

That wasn't too bad. It would give us some time to work the forge and just generally explore the city. I was really interested in some of the scams I'd seen. Dreamer stood up, her legs a bit shaky. "In any case, I should go clean up. I think I'd like to have dinner with your two tomorrow if you wouldn't mind, and of course we can spend the day together as we have been." Zee stood up too, leaning up to pull the busty goddess into a hungry kiss. She groped the top heavy deity for a bit as their tongues wrestled, and I had to admit it was pleasant to watch.

She pulled back and gave Dreamer a swat on the ass, drawing an adorable squeak from the New God. "Alright, go get cleaned up then. We'll see you tomorrow." Dreamer gave a goofy smile and practically skipped away, and Zee turned to see me still on the floor of the training room, reclining on my elbows and enjoying the show. "Well someone looked pretty pleased with himself." She knelt down next to me, giving me a long, hot kiss. "Thank you. I wanted her and you got her for me. You always give me what I need baby."

I chuckled at that. "Well dating a gorgeous woman whose list of necessities includes double teaming a literal goddess is a hard job, but someone has to do it." She rolled her eyes and I kissed her again. "Kidding. I love you, and honestly it really was fantastic. I have to ask though, your attraction to her was pretty quick. Do you know why you're so drawn to her? It can't just be the divinity right?"

She shook her head. "She's a sex goddess, like I am. At least partly. Her domain is the Beautiful Dream, and part of that dream is sexual fulfillment. We're...compatible. Plus she's really fucking hot and she eats my pussy like a five course meal, so that's pretty cool too. " She shot me a wink. "But yeah, something about her just...calls to my bloodline. It was why she reacted so strongly to my electricity. Her body was made for it in some ways."

I shrugged. "She's cute and you made sure I was cool with it, plus I get the feeling she'll be sticking around. It's not a free pass to fuck other girls or anything, and a second girlfriend sounds pretty cool to me." She beamed at me and gave me another kiss. I gave her a swat on the ass like she'd done to Dreamer, enjoying that satisfying jiggle. "Anyway lets go check out what Artemis left for us. I'm topped up from that tantric ritual with Dreamer and we have enchantments to do. It's way more convenient to do them now that we don't need to be in the room with her as she finishes forging."

She giggled, grabbing my hand and pulling me along. "Agreed. I'm glad she's getting better control of her bloodline. So she told you all the stuff she primed for us right?" As always she was excited to do some enchanting. I was pretty sure she enjoyed this process even more than Artemis did in some ways. I had to admit it was fun for me too. I loved making things, even if the actual smithing process was too time consuming and annoying for me to get into it. I followed Zee into the forge, noting that the place was empty. Artemis and Wally must have gone to bed.

I pointed over at the table in the center of the room with four different objects lying on it. We'd decided to try out hand at paladin gear this time, since we were in the Sphere of the Gods and were selling to deities. A holy alignment would probably sell better to this crowd. I walked over to tap on each item in turn. "We decided to finally try a set. Griswolds Legacy is the best paladin set we could think of so the enchantments will be aimed to create those. There are more than a few tricks for this one so we can go over the setup before we start."

I tapped the helmet first. "Griswolds Valor. Basically boosts resistances and luck, along with making magical gear easier to use. Some cold absorption too." Next I tapped the armor. " Griswold's heart. Also makes magical items easier to use, plus some strength boosting but most of the enchantment will be boosting defensive power. Also a bit of aura stuff but I'll handle that for the set." I tapped the weapon. "Similar theme with the decreased requirements but most importantly massive increased damage to undead." And finally I pointed out the shield. "More defense on this one. Then we tie it together with the set enchantment. Sound good?"

Zee grinned at me. "A bit complex but I bet we can work something out." She stepped up next to me, taking my hand, and I felt her reach out through our bond. I hadn't noticed before but sex with Dreamer seemed to have made it stronger. I felt her reach for my power and offer her and I began casting my demonic magic. I poured points into the enchantments even as she called her lightning and her magic and our energies merged and shifted. Like before when the magic laid down on a piece of gear it seemed to solidify and finish it.

It was a strange feeling because while each enchanted item was completed when we cast the spells the set as a whole was still in progress, so we were both finishing an enchantment and still in the middle of one. We pushed from one to the next, creating the powerful artifacts that we needed, all while keeping the overall magic structure of the set actively malleable. I added in what I needed to as we went. Aura Sight came from me of course, the aura interaction from this set was one of the reasons I had picked it, and it was absolutely the main reason I expected to pull it off.

I wasn't sure how long it took us to cast the enchantments and finish crafting the set, but it felt both much too fast and agonizingly slow. Eventually though we finally completed it, and we released the power, allowing the set magic to bind into place over top of the individual enchantments. It was an interesting thing to watch, almost like there was a larger overarching enchantment on the set, but it only formed when the pieces were all present. A patchwork domain of magic that operated on conditions. I could see exactly how each piece improved the power.

I turned to Zee, whose eyes were still glowing, both literally and figuratively, and she pulled me into a fierce kiss. "Look at that! How amazing did that come out. Dual casting our enchantments like that was such a rush too! We have to do that again in the future. I can't believe how much deeper out tantric bond got after our time with Dreamer. Gods that session really is the gift that keeps on giving isn't it?" She giggled and kissed me again. "I'm almost upset there isn't more stuff here to enchant, I want to feel that again."

I agreed with her secretly, but we'd had a long day. Aside from the very acrobatic sex and the enchanting I'd been training and we'd both been busy. I scooped her up in a firemans carry, enjoying the squeak and the very juicy ass in my face as I laughed at her enthusiasm. "Nope. No more work for you. It's time for bed. I know for a fact you're almost as tired as I am and I'm not letting you enchant while drowsy. It has to be at least as dangerous as operating heavy machinery." She huffed but didn't argue, which told me all I needed to know about how tired she was. I laughed as I set off for our room. It was time for a much needed rest.

February 6th 2011 New Genesis 11:00 PM EDT

The next month flew by. We basically spent the whole thing with Dreamer, getting to know her better. We held off on having any more sex while we got better acquainted. Once she was satisfied Zee felt a little embarrassed that she'd rushed so much, and while she still wanted to keep the pretty goddess she wasn't in such a hurry anymore. Dreamer for her part was just a very affectionate person, and even without sex she just enjoyed cuddling and being close to us, which I had to admit was a pretty nice feeling.

That said, Zee and I still had sex regularly, and the tantric rituals supplied thousands of points per day. By the time the month ended, even with consistent enchantments and regular purchases, I'd managed to rack up a hundred thousand plus points. It was definitely a milestone for me, and a staggering one. Meanwhile I'd been picking up pills and serums for the girls to enhance their divinity, bringing them closer and closer to being actual goddesses. Both of them had long since reached hybrid status, being half divine in their own right.

That was part of what I was doing at the moment actually. Dreamer had informed us last night that her friends had reached out and were going to be back in Supertown tomorrow, and I'd decided to use the hundred thousand points I had to buy a big upgrade, I was just trying to figure out what the hell I should get. I scrolled through the emails, looking for anything that was in my price range that would be powerful or useful. Not just the emails from New Genesis, even things from Gotham were on the list, a hundred thousand was an absurd amount of points to spend.

Granted I couldn't become part kryptonian or but a Mother Box or anything, there were still plenty of powerful options well out of my price range, but I was excited to see some of the options I had. I was looking for something powerful and that fit with my current build, and after searching for quite a while, I found an email I was pretty sure fit the bill. It was buried in the back of my spam folder, most likely from one of my early forum dives, and it seemed basically perfect for my powerset.

I clicked the email to read through it just to make sure. Master the Void. The ancient secrets of the space between worlds are a mystery beyond any other. To know the Void is to know creation itself. Use the techniques contained in this book to call out to the nothingness between worlds and bend it to your will. Shape the void into terrible creatures and fierce attacks, unleashing the power of nothingness. The person who holds this book is chosen of the void, and they alone can use this power. The description was amazing, and I'd have been interested in it no matter what, but I'd been drawn to it most because of one thing.

The price had gone down. Immensely. I remembered this email from before and it had cost millions of points. The site in question sent emails promising unique and mysterious tomes. It was basically a whole library of scams supposedly from the collection of some powerful sorcerer and each book had "requirements" that they would give the bearer the power to fulfill. They basically gave you a power. The reason that was important was that the massive reduction in price meant I could ALREADY tap into the void. This was a book on how to use the powers I already had.

Being able to make constructs and cast spells with my void form would be a huge boost to my powers. Combined with my stealth skills a tanky summon would be a massive help in any combat situation. My clones were invaluable for scouting or assassination, but in a straight fight they were useless. I didn't have the energy to throw out waves of disposable clones to bury my enemies, that would be a terrible use of my points. But if I could make void constructs to tank in fights I could move around the battlefield and take out my targets as I saw fit.

Wally could fill the role of tank in our party theoretically, or at least dodge tank, but having a meat shield would be an absolute get in terms of our survivability as a group. Not to mention this was just a cool power set and the book would be an amazing resource to learn more about how my void abilities worked. I also may or may not have been looking forward to the teeth rattling fuck session I would get from my magic obsessed girlfriend when I introduced her to an entirely new branch of casting.

Without any further thought I bought the thing. I winced as a hundred thousand points were sucked out of my soul, leaving me incredibly low at a measly one thousand and feeling very lightheaded at their absence. I also knew about ten million would have vanished from my bank account. The mages redoubt collection touted unique manuscripts and the books sold for millions. I expected other people buying them mostly wanted them as keepsakes or just assumed they didn't have the talent to use them, but for me ten million was a drop in the bucket.

As per usual there was a knock on the door right after I spent the points. I strolled over to the door to my room, careful not to wake Zee or Dreamer (lack of sex aside she liked joining us to sleep at night) and pulled the door open, looking for my box. The container outside my door wasn't hard to spot, but I almost whistled at how fucking huge it was. Luckily my strength was over a hundred, so it was basically weightless anyway, despite its exaggerated size, and when I picked it up to carry it into the room I didn't even strain.

I set it down carefully on the square wooden table in the room so as not to wake the girls, and looked down at it with a grin. As per usual, the box was gorgeous. A huge black wooden monstrosity of a think carved with faintly glowing green runes I absolutely could not read. The edges of the chest and the lock were made of some kind of strange matte black metal that seemed to eat the light. As I stared down at literally the edgiest looking piece of construction I'd ever seen I had an unpleasant thought.

Was I leaning too hard into the devil ghost darkness thing? It was beginning to get a little macabre. I was committed to my build, and it was just a good investment to buy abilities that synergized with each other well, but maybe my next power should be something a bit less...Poe-ish. I shook my head, dismissing the thought. I was awesome, and all my powers were super cool. Being dark and mysterious didn't make me an edgelord, and the fact that people had independently ascribed me the power so summon literal crows had nothing to do with how chuuni I cam across. Probably.

Still, I would try to find something a bit less death and darkness oriented for my next ability, as long as it was still stealth or void related it would still synergize, and branching out seemed like a smart call. The box had a key in the lock, also dark metal, and a quick turn caused it to pop open, a puff of dust coming out from under the edges as I opened the creaking lid. I gave it a five out of ten for originality but a ten for style. Inside was the book itself, sitting on a red velvet cushion, again not original but stylish.

The book itself though...that was much more interesting. It was black, bound in some sort of leather darker than most things I'd seen, but what really caught me was the pages. Hammered sheets of matte black metal swam with white shimmering runes and symbols that climbed and swirled around the surface of the open tome. I'd never seen a book with pages that moved before, but as I watched I could see that there were literally thousands of different runes and that each combination of two or more of them was a unique idea or concept.

I somehow understood these codes, and where a rune alone meant one thing, and another meant something else, three had a third meaning, and based on the pattern the meaning of the first and third could form yet another cypher and could change the meaning of the first. My speed reading, perfect memory, reflexes, detective mode, aura sight, and a knack for storing and replaying information caused by my Outer Body training method all combined to allow me to take in the literal libraries worth of information on each page.

I sat down, scanning the first page and then checking the second, enraptured. Even for me it was staggeringly complicated. The shifting code changed not only with each symbol, but each page altered the meaning and context of the one before it in insane ways. One page was ten books worth of knowledge, and two was a hundred. A third page was a thousand, and then another hundred when combined with the first. I could literally read this book a thousand times and never be finished learning, and even with all my powers it would take me probably years to finish my first read through.

The information on page one was simple and straightforward once I finished committing it all to memory (something that took me an hour). It was a series of interlocking complicated formuli that allowed one to create a basic construct from void. In this case, that construct was called a void pup. It was apparently a baby cornerhound with nearly no combat abilities, but it would serve as a good foundation for a persons first use of void, and was less dangerous than most of the other magics in here.

Void magic was...complex. It seemed to be almost math, but in a weird and kind of nonsensical way that was barely math at all. Like I was trying to use numerical values to describe the dimensions of a shape that didn't exist, except instead of numbers I was using some sort of universal source code. The magic itself functioned through the use of the same ridiculous thousand symbol language that made up the insane book. I actually had to reread the damn page after I finished because I realized halfway into prep for casting that I only had half the spell because I needed to read it backwards too.

Once I had that down though I followed the steps and figured out why this was the first spell. The process for calling the void was complicated and long winded and this spell acted as a sort of training wheels example. When I shifted to a humanoid void form (allowing me to complete this spell in only a few hours instead of having to spend weeks safely harvesting void essence) I felt the spell call out to a sort sentient void spirit to animate the darkness I was holding.

The spirit created a sort of template to lay the void over so I could see the details of how it worked and how it was shaped for future spells. When I was finished with the casting the spirit...not solidified exactly but became more static, a small dog made of liquid shadows that ran around on the table in circles, looking adorable. The hound could grow into an actual cornerhound through regular void feedings.

It was considered a starter pet for a void shaper, and I had to admit it was cute. It was also energetic and funny, at least funny enough to distract me from the noise. Which was why I didn't hear my girlfriends wake up. It was fine though, Zee announced their presence easily enough with an ear piercing shriek of "PUPPY!" at a volume that made me wince even as the glee in her tone made me smile. I rolled my eyes and turned to the love of my life, holding out the little dark pup as she scooped it up and snuggled it, cooing to it happily. Ok, so maybe there were two reasons I liked the spell.

February 7th 2011 New Genesis 12:00 AM EDT

Zee was in love with the corner pup. She named him Patches, despite his lack of any sort of patches or even color for there to be patches of. Her shriek had also woken up Dreamer, and now the two of them were lavishing the little pup with affection and cuddles as I perused my ridiculously complicated book. I'd tried to get started on the second page, but I realized that there were three concurrent spell formulas there when I looked hard enough and trying to parse even one of them was making my head hurt so I had to take a break.

Apparently there were an exponentially increasing number of spells written into the book on each page. The first page had one spell formula, but if you paid attention there was a second much larger overarching formula whose underlying structure was hidden throughout the first spell. That formula seemingly spanned the entire book from what I could tell, making this whole thing one giant fucking spell once I eventually finished it. The second page had it's own spell, the portions of the overarching underlying spell, and a SECOND underlying spell that was hidden in only the first two spells.

I let my head slam into the table. This ridiculous spell mechanic was independent of the stacking information mechanic of the symbols that created a multiplicative amount of base information, and was strictly related to the structure of the formulas. The combination of the two facets, and possibly more, meant that side from a massive libraries worth of raw information there was also a second libraries worth of actual spells, though from what I could tell you would need to finish completely deciphering the whole book before you could start on anything but the initial layer on each page.

It was no wonder this horrible clusterfuck of a book had cost a hundred thousand points. It was basically a fucking magical database. I could educate a fucking society on Void Shaping once I finished learning it. Sadly even with my advantages that seemed like it would take fucking years. For now I would just practice the infinitesimally small fraction of void formulas I'd managed to learn by figuring out the initial formula on the first page.

I heavily suspected this book was actually meant to be read in more dimensions than a human or even a devil like me could perceive. It would explain the ridiculous and overly complicated structure of the text better than the explanation that void mages were bastards who wanted everyone to suffer. If this text was meant for someone who already had access to the void that meant skipping that first step and not connecting like they had might actually have hurt more than helped me. That said I wasn't connecting to an abyss of endless nothingness just to make my bedtime reading easier, so I'd deal with the extra homework and leave my brain intact and non ruined, thank you very much.

It took Zee about an hour to calm down and stop fussing over the puppy, handing him to Dreamer to come over and check on me. As she got closer she noticed the book and beamed at me excitedly. "Is that a new grimoire? Can I see it? Is that how you got the spell to summon that little cutie?" She snatched it up, opened the book and then...stared at the first page. "I...have no idea what this means." I snorted at that and she rolled her eyes. "Can you teach me some of it please? this whole thing looks amazing."

I shook my head. "Honestly, no. I can barely read it myself. The symbol language is insanely dense, like a thousand plus characters. Aside from being massively contextual it's written in some sort of crazy stacking pattern that can be read in multiple different directions and needs to be fed into itself in like a dozen ways before it's understandable." I tried to explain it to her as best I could, both the spell stacking and the crazy exponential nature of the actual symbols and information, and by the time I was done she was nodding.

She closed the book. "It's Mobian. I've never even seen a book in Mobian before but I HAVE heard of them. It's a higher dimensional text, famous for being sort of a primer for more complicated dimensional languages. Lots of human books on higher dimensional magic are written in Mobian because it allows people with human perception to come into contact with dimensional principles. That said, entry level dimensional source code IS still dimensional source code, and the majority of people can't manage anything with it."

I blinked. That was...interesting. "I'm surprised my power used something that exists already. Normally it would have made something out of nothing and just retconned it in." Though realistically that may have been what did happen, who knew if Zee had known anything about Mobian before this book showed up. A hundred thousand points was bound to cause some big changes.

To my surprise Zee shook her head. "That isn't surprising in this case. The Void is everywhere, and connects to all realities. Methods to interact with it are pretty much the same in every universe. You power probably gets at least some of those items from other dimensions and then shoehorns them into our world. It makes more sense than just point blank making them. If that's the case than any void info you go through it would be identical for the most part to stuff you would find natively."

I shrugged. "Fair enough, regardless, you can try to learn it if you want, I'll sketch out some symbols for you when I have time, but it isn't going to be fast or easy. It's going to take me years to make any progress, and I'm cheating pretty hard with all my reading and mental boosts." It made me want to get some more brain improvements. Regardless I had the one spell I knew, and I could repeat the process in my Outer Body trance over and over to study how it worked. Once I perfected every aspect of the magic I should be able to get a better grasp on void shaping.

I mentioned that to Zee and she nodded jealously. "Oh yeah, that'll be a huge help honestly. I wish I had a way to test magic without ever running out of power or experiencing any risk. Don't suppose you can teach that one?" I blinked. I'd never actually considered that. Outer Body wasn't an ability though, it was a skill, albeit an extremely complex one. It didn't use up points so chances were it didn't have a power source, and I remembered the learning process perfectly, so I should be able to show her how to use it.

I was a bit concerned about the energy from the talisman being necessary to teach her, but when I thought about it harder I should be able to help with that. My points could become any kind of energy. I remembered exactly what that energy felt like and how it needed to be applied to teach the skill. I wanted to try. "Ok. I'll give it my best shot, come over here and sit down with me." Teaching Zee the Outer Body trance would be a huge step, both in her capabilities and understanding my own powers.

We walked over to an empty space on the floor and sat down. Dreamer kept Patches over by the bed but watched us with interest as we sat down cross legged. I put out my hands, placing them flat against the empty air and waiting for Zee to do the same with mine. She pressed her palms against my own in mid air and I closed my eyes, focusing. I spoke as I concentrated, leaving my eyes shut. "Ok Zee. This is going to be tough for me so no talking. Just feel the energy as it moves into you and follow the directions I'm going to send over our bond."

I could push the energy into her, but the guidance the talisman gave me is another story. Luckily our tantric bond lets us send emotions and desires through it. I was going to use that to help project the knowledge from my own time learning Outer Body to help her get a hold of it. I focused on the energy, and at the same time on our bond, pushing an exact memory of the feeling that helped me learn to channel the energy into her. I felt some resistance at first from my points, but as I pushed I could feel them slowly changing.

The energy efficiency of the stuff from the talisman was ridiculous sadly. It took me hundreds of points to create a replica. I had a thousand left after my big purchase for the book and over a third of it was devoured as the points shifted to become the same stuff I'd felt before. I had to portion the stuff out and send it in slowly so she could adapt and process the information through the bond. As she interacted with it she began to shift the energy like I'd sent, trying to create the same effect I'd had before.

I realized as we worked that this was much more efficient than the original talisman, mostly because I could sense how she was approaching the power and her reaction to my information and make slight adjustments as we went. As she tried her best to learn the skill I altered the feedback to perfectly tailor the lesson to her, and she got more and more efficient at trying to recreate the energy pattern, until finally, she completed the cycle and I felt the power click into place.

Feeling my energy merge into her like that was an eerie sensation. The power I was sending in sort of merged into her soul, creating a new pathway for her magic to take. I didn't know what the hell that energy had been but I heavily suspected my points were the only source of it. I focused hard on the stuff, trying to sense something, anything about it, but I couldn't get any more info from just meditating.

Still, when I opened my eyes I smiled as I saw Zee sitting there, eyes closed and in a lotus position as she tapped into the Outer Body training method. I was ecstatic. This was a huge step, I'd never been able to mimic what my power could do outside of emails before. Sure it was a one off that required a bunch of coincidental circumstances to be possible, but it proved that my ability wasn't just some cosmic vending machine. I could USE my power, I just needed to learn how.

Zee's purple electric eyes flew open wide and she squealed with glee, hurling herself at me for a kiss. "Baby that was AMAZING! I just cast the biggest most destructive spell I knew in there and I'm fine! I'm not tired or hurt or anything! Do you know how huge that is? It means I can learn to use and control spells that were too dangerous for me to cast before. Big complex magic that I couldn't touch in the past because I was worried about doing something horrible by mistake!"

I laughed as she showered me with kisses and helped her to her feet. "Well I'm glad. I learned a lot from this too, so it seems like a win win. Now, let's get my new book put up in the spacial ring and head back to bed. We have Dreamer's friends arriving tomorrow and I don't want to be all tired when they get here." I gave her a soft kiss, chuckling at her pout, but once she realized we could cuddle the puppy when we went to sleep her tone changed real fast. Settling in between my girlfriends with my new dog curled up close I had to smile. My life was pretty great.

February 7th 2011 New Genesis 10:00 AM EDT

The rest of the night was pleasant, just a nice relaxing nap with my girls and my new pooch. Patches was surprisingly warm for a creature made of sentient non existence, and he snuggled up between the three of us, fitting perfectly and creating a living space heater that helped lull us all to a deep and restful sleep. It was honestly the best sleep I'd had in years, and waking up to get ready to greet the Forever People was a let down.

I climbed out of bed, careful not to wake the girls before I needed to, and went to get dressed. I'd stored my headache inducing nightmare book in my space ring, along with the interesting box it came in. Then I headed into the bathroom to shower. The water pressure was good at Stanga's place, and water heaters on New Genesis went MUCH higher than the ones on Earth. I personally loved scalding hot showers, and with my vitality at two hundred fifty I could really crank the heat. I was pretty sure the temperature would have left permanent burns on a normal person but it just felt pleasant to me.

When I got out Zee and Dreamer were already awake. I stepped into the room and leaned against the door as I watched them Zee stumble around looking through her clothes for something to wear. I kept backup wardrobes for my team in my ring because...space ring, why not right? Wally fit in Reggie's stuff pretty well but Zee had her own clothes and she had unpacked a bit after a few days here. I had to fight a smile at her frantic digging as she looked desperately for something to wear.

I walked over and put my hand on my panicking girlfriend, stopping her where she stood. She glared at me. "Let me go I have to find something nice." I raised an eyebrow. She glared a bit longer then dropped into a pout. "What? Is it so wrong to want our new girlfriends friends to like us?" It was adorable seeing her all worried like this. Zee and I were so close it was hard to remember she didn't have much experience in romance. None in fact, aside from me. Seeing her get all nervous from this side of things was cute.

Dreamer smiled from over on the bed cuddling Patches. "I told you Zee, my friends are sweet. They'll love you. You don't need to go out of your way to dress up or try to impress." She gave our girlfriend a beaming smile. "You're amazing, and I'm sure they'll see the same thing when they meet you." Over the last month Dreamer and Zee had gotten much closer, I'd gotten to know her much better as well, but Zee and Dreamer had a pretty deep connection from the start because of their Divine natures.

Oddly I wasn't jealous of that at all though. It was nice to see Zee get close to someone, and Dreamer and I had very different roles in her life. Aside from being completely secure in my relationship with my girlfriend, Dreamer was much more submissive than I was. She let Zee be the one in charge, which I think was something she needed to grow as a person. She still preferred me to take charge when we were interacting, she just liked having a person that she could be in charge of.

Dreamer for her part seemed to enjoy Zee calling the shots so it all worked out. Despite that bond, Zee didn't seem placated at all, she glared at our new girlfriend next. "That's such a stereotypical significant other thing to say, and it's the opposite of helpful!" She threw her hands up in frustration. "What, am I supposed to just decide I don't care and say fuck it?" She huffed, stalking back over to a different pile of clothes she'd already gone through and thrown on the floor, ignoring us to dig through the scattered garments.

I walked over to Dreamer who looked exasperated. I smirked at her. "Don't take it personally. She gets snappish when she's nervous. She'll apologize later once she calms down. In the meantime I propose we leave her to her search so we don't get our heads bitten off. We can introduce Patches to Arty and Wally" She laughed as I helped her to hear feet, waving to Zee as the dog squirmed over her shoulder to watch our sorceress rifle through clothes on the way out. Once we got downstairs we found Artemis and Wally already out of their rooms eating breakfast.

When they saw me Artemis dropped her fork, eyes going wide. "What. Is. That?"" I grinned and took Patches from Dreamer, earning a pout from my goddess as I passed him to Artemis. He licked her face and she squealed in glee, something I would never let her live down. She nuzzled the little shadow pup. "He's so CUTE! I love him! What's his name? Where did you get him? Are we keeping him?" She was giddy as a kid on Christmas, and I smiled at seeing this side of her, one I rarely got to witness. So Artemis was a dog person, go figure.

I chuckled as he licked her face. "His name is Patches, blame Zee. As for where we got him I crafted him from a chunk of primordial darkness with a book that tells you how to shape the abyss between worlds. I used my own void form though, so he's completely loyal. Also yes, we can keep him. He's got some growing to do still, but once hes full sized we'll have out very own cornerhound." From what I'd been able to figure out from the info in the book, using myself as the source of the void in Patches' body would bind him to me. It was a workaround other people wouldn't be able to use, but a big advantage for me.

I wasn't able to hear her response to that however, because we were interrupted by a high pitched keening sound from outside. Dreamer's head snapped up and an expression of joy spread across her face. "They're here!" She jumped up and bolted outside at top speed. Artemis, who was still holding Patches, looked at me questioningly for a second before she shrugged and followed the New God outside, dog in hand. Wally and I just smiled ruefully and followed them out of the inn to meet Dreamer's friends.

When we got outside it became obvious how she'd known who it was who had arrived. Their ship was...weird. It was hard to describe the transport adequately except that it was weirdly square. Also oddly colorful and just generally strange looking. Like someone built a ship out of legos. I walked up next to Dreamer. "I thought you guys traveled via the Mother Box. What kind of ship is that?" The noise had been caused by the engines of the thing as it was smoothly lowered to the ground, which told me it probably wasn't running on propellers.

Dreamer giggled. "The Mother Box is a transport to and from the sphere. Withing the sphere we obviously use different means of travel. This is a ship we picked up in the Wildlands, one of the larger kingdoms ruled by an anthropomorphic mouse. It's called a Gummi Ship. The ships are brilliant modular devices that can be stuck together out of large blocks of varying types, creating a nearly endless number of available configurations for the ships. Serifan loves the thing more than his life, and is always tinkering with it."

I stepped up, shooting her a questioning look, but when she nodded I reached out to touch the smooth block of...something. It felt like a mix between stone and plastic. I turned to her. "So each of these blocks does something different and you can just slap them together?" I realized my lego analogy earlier had been pretty spot on. It was a really interesting idea for a ship building system, since it let people without technical knowledge make their own vessels. I would love to get my hands on some of them. "How many kinds are there?"

She beamed at me, clearly happy to talk about the ship while her friends...came out? I wasn't sure what was taking so long but Dreamer distracted me with her enthusiasm. "Oh thousands! Engines, wings, cannons, shields, jammers, radars, cloaking devices, the list goes on. There are so many different kinds of parts you can make anything you can imagine. The Gummi's themselves can be tough to get, but the mouse king was very kind and offered us full trading rights with his kingdom any time we were in need."

I blinked at that. That kind of versatility was amazing. As for the second part... "Wait, didn't you have to stay under an illusion in the Wildlands so they didn't kill you because of the anti human sentiment?" She seemed surprised by the question, but sadly my chance to hear the answer was cut off as the Gummi block in front of us split down the middle and split open, allowing me a view inside. An inside I might add, that was bigger than the outside would allow without some serious spatial shenanigans.

Our of the hull emerged several forms. A tall dark skinned man, towered over by an even taller tanned behemoth with wild red hair, and a small blonde man in a cowboy hat all stepped out. When they saw Dreamer their faces lit up and she rushed over to throw herself on them for a group hug. With my aura sight it was easy to tell this was a familial love, so I wasn't jealous or anything, just happy for my new girlfriend to be back with her family. She grabbed them tightly and started dragging them over. "I'm so glad to see you! You have to come meet Morgan and Zatanna!"

I chuckled at the immediate enthusiasm she showed for introducing us. The dark skinned man stopped first and held out a hand to shake. "Greetings. I am Vikyn, you must be Morgan. I admit I haven't heard of you, but for Dreamer to be so excited to introduce us you must be a very special person. I greet you on behalf of the Forever People." He nodded to the other two. "This is Bear and Serifan." His grip was firm as he clapped me on the shoulder with a smile, and when he stepped back the big guy jumped in for a back breaking hug, with the blonde offering a shake of his own. They seemed friendly.

I was happy they were so understanding, and had to admit that Dreamer was right, Zee hadn't had anything to worry about. Not that I would ever tell her that. Speaking of my lovely girlfriend I heard a shout and saw her stumbling out of the inn, hopping to put on one shoe. It was a struggle not to laugh as she somehow gracefully hopped on one foot until she stopped in front of all of us with a grin. "Sorry, sorry, I'm here! Is this them?" She waved enthusiastically. "Hello, I'm Zatanna! It's nice to meet all of you!"

I put out a hand to steady her as she put her shoe on and then smiled at the new arrivals. "We're very pleased to meet you all. Dreamer had told us so much about you and we can't wait to experience her famous friends for herself." I snuck a peak behind them and cleared my throat. "That said, I am a bit curious about this wonderful machine of yours, I've never seen anything like it. Dreamer was explaining how it worked to me earlier, but I'd love to see more of it." I grinned wolfishly. "So, do you think you can offer me a tour of my first Gummi ship?"
