Arc 1 - Chapter 5
"Emergency quest! Emergency quest! All adventurers in town, please gather at the adventurer guild! I repeat, an emergency quest! Emergency quest! All adventurers in town, please gather at the adventurer guild!" A loud broadcast could be heard throughout the entire town.
"Hey, what is an emergency quest?" I ask Darkness as it looks like I'm not going to see the house any time soon. "Are the monsters about to raid the town or something?"
I feel a bit excited to kill monsters in large numbers as this is the chance to gain more experience points and level up.
Darkness felt elated as she said joyfully, "It's probably cabbage harvesting, and it's the season for them."
I give Darkness a dull look, "Detail, woman. Detail. Don't leave me hanging."
Darkness looked at me pitifully for unknown reasons, which annoyed me a little. So, I smacked the side of Darkness' head, causing her to moan in delight right away, and asked me to abuse her more.
"Forget it. I'll find out sooner or later." I pull Darkness back to the adventurer guild while she says something about how forceful I am and other nonsense I ignored.
A few minutes later*
I notice the place is a little packed now since the few minutes we were here, and there are still more people coming in by the second. Luckily, there are seats still available for Darkness and me to sit.
Soon female guild staff came out to address the adventurers in the building while carrying large baskets, "I apologize for gathering everyone on such short notice! I'm sure everyone knows that the emergency is because of the cabbages! It's time to harvest cabbages! The quality's great this year, and each one's worth 10,000 eris! We've already evacuated the residents, so please harvest more cabbages and turn them in here! Please take care of your own safety and don't get hurt by the cabbages' counterattack! Also, because of the large number of people and bounty, the reward will be given out later!"
The sound of cheers erupted outside the adventurer guild.
It's good that we're still close to the door as we squeeze into the outside crowd to look. Green objects were flying all over town.
"The cabbages in this world can fly. When their taste ripens during harvest season, they fly through cities, over the plains, across the continent, and to the ocean, unwilling to be eaten. Because of that, we must catch the cabbages and eat them while they're still delicious." I heard Aqua explain not too far away from where I am.
The adventurers inside the guild building charged out in high spirits. They were chasing after the cabbages wholeheartedly.
"Well, I'll meet you back here, Darkness." I said to Darkness and left before she could respond.
I slide the Fox Mask over my face as I start running through the street, where other adventurers are using magic or skill to catch the cabbages. However, most of them use butterfly nets.
For me, I got two magic to capture these flying cabbages: Sleep and Paralyze.
An hour later*
The cabbage hunt quest ended, and the entire town began serving dishes made from cabbages. As in today and so on, all dishes are cabbage-related only.
"You're skilled, Darkness! As expected of a Crusader! The cabbages couldn't break through your iron-wall defense no matter what they did." Aqua said to Darkness where we shared one table, or more like Kazuma and his party came to my table, with Darkness already sitting with me as we eat fried cabbages sold in the guild after many people turn them in for the reward.
"No, I didn't do much; I'm just really tough. I'm clumsy and slow, so I can't really hit my target; my only strong point is shielding others." Darkness smiled and shook her head. "Megumin has an impressive offense. She took out the horde of monsters chasing the cabbages right into town with just one explosion attack; all the other adventurers were shocked."
"Kuku, no one could stand up to the power of my Explosion Magic." Megumin brags a little. "But, I say Kazuma is the most active one; he picked me up after I exhausted my mana and carried me back."
Well, that answers my question of what happened when I used up all my mana reserve—being unable to move afterward. Good to know.
"Yeah, when cabbages and monsters surrounded me, Kazuma showed up and captured all the cabbages attacking me. Thank you for rescuing me." Darkness thanked Kazuma, who blushed a little.
"What I wanna know..." Aqua began as she casually placed her empty plate on the table, then pointed at me. "How in the world are you so fast as a Mage?! You even can dual-cast! That's a high-level technique!"
This brings the attention of Darkness, Kazuma, and Megumin to me.
"Practice." I simply replied while secretly surprised that dual-casting wasn't common as I thought it would be. "Anyway, why are you three here? I can guess why Kazuma is here. But, I don't know you." I point at Megumin and then at Aqua with a sneer on my face. "And I don't want to know you." Which is a lie; I still want to tap that divine ass of her.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?! Instead, you should look at me with worship, as I'm the Goddess Aqua! I demand you to worship me with great respect!" Aqua shouted at me, as she didn't like how I looked at her like she was an insect.
"Hmm... No." I make it look like I was thinking about, but not really, and decline Aqua's demand.
"Well, then. I'm Darkness, a Crusader, and he's my lover, Daisuke, an Arch-Wizard." Darkness introduced herself and me as well, along with our class. "My weapon's a two-handed sword, but don't count on it too much. I'm clumsy with my hands and tend to miss. But I'm good at being a tank. As for my lover here, he can put anyone to sleep and on a large scale too. So please take care of us."
I raise an eyebrow at the way Darkness is speaking right now. Like she already joined Kazuma's party, including me as well.
"Sorry, Darkness. If you want to join Kazuma's party. I don't mind, but I rather continue doing quests by myself." I said to Darkness and rejected joining Kazuma's party as well.
What I did not expect was for Kazuma to grab my hand with tears going down his face.
"Please don't leave me with these weirdos! You are the only one I met besides the other people I know for a brief moment; that's not weird! Please stay!" Kazuma plead.
"Eh?" I pull my hand away while keeping a distance away from Kazuma. I do not like a fellow male touching me unless it is life-threatening. "Don't you have some sort of ability or weapon you gained from that shitty goddess over there?"
Kazuma flinches, then slumps in his seat and looks like he made a choice he would regret for the rest of his life.
"I have been meaning to ask this, but why do you call Aqua a shitty goddess?" Megumin asks me, causing Darkness to look at me, wanting to know.
"Oh, that's because I overheard her continue to call herself a goddess and how Kazuma has reacted to her for the past few days. I decided to call her a shitty goddess since if she were an actual goddess, she would be a shitty one. No question about it." I grin at Aqua, who looks at me angrily at how disrespectful I am to her. "And ask yourself this, would you trust her." I point at Aqua, "To handle sending you to the afterlife without causing problems on the way?"
"Nope." Darkness, Kazuma, and Megumin said simultaneously, causing Aqua to tear up at how the three replied without thinking about it.
"Anyway, Darkness. If you decide to stay in this party. I don't mind." I didn't really care since I would just have fun dealing with her alone afterward if I was in the mood and not tired at that time.
Aqua stands up and lifts her nose to the ceiling, "Like we need you. We already have Megumin here, who is also an Arch-Wizard. I'm an Arch-Priest and with Darkness in the party, who is a Crusader. Three out of four members having top-tier classes is rare already in a single party, so you're missing out big."
I pity Kazuma, who looks like he wants no more than to find a way to end his life, but he is not that desperate.
"By the way, you may want to finish your cabbage before someone steals them." I told Kazuma when I noticed Aqua's hand was closing onto his plate.
"Hands off, Aqua! You already ate yours!" Kazuma shouts with annoyance as he pulls the plate closer to him.
"Hey, as your goddess, you should offer them to gain my blessing." Aqua remarked. Trying to get him to let her eat his share as she is still not full yet.
"Ugh... ah, the feeling of being ravaged by cabbages and monsters is unbearable..." Darkness moans a little at being reminded about the cabbages. "I'm the only orthodox vanguard in the party, so don't hold back. Use me as bait or as a shield. If necessary, you can even cut me off as a sacrifice...hmmm!" Darkness's face was blushing as she shivered slightly. "Just... just imagining that made me tremble with excitement...!"
"Kay, I will remember to do that." I said to Darkness, who looked like she was about to wet herself when I agreed to do exactly as she just said—using her as bait, shield, and so on.
Kazuma looks at me like he has met me for the first time.
"Yes, I'm a sadist." I answer Kazuma's unspoken question as I watch him shiver and distance himself from me a little. A reaction that most people would do upon learning I'm a sadist, which I'm not really one. But, I can act like one easily. "Anyway, are you guys planning to do any quest today?"
"Nah. We've already done one before the cabbage quest occurs." Kazuma replied.
"Well, come on Darkness. Lead us to our house, and I'll think about lessening or increasing the number of punishments you have to take for making me wait so long to see the house by now." I said to Darkness, whose face was even redder than before as she heard how I would punish her and in our home too.
Kazuma looked pale upon hearing my words and saw how Darkness reacted to them.
"Wait!" Megumin shouted at me, "Tell me if you know any Explosion Magic!" A hint of excitement appears in her eyes.
"Nope. Don't need such a thing." I replied, causing the little girl to be shocked at my response, which is the chance for me to grab Darkness by her hand and head out of the guild. Where Darkness happily allowed me to drag her around and was in her little world, forgetting her surroundings.
15 minutes later*
"I got to say, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a laundry room. Along with a basement and a second floor where the third bedroom is. Honestly, this place is nice." I said to Darkness.
"That's a relief." Darkness smiles at me before she becomes shy, as her face starts to blush. "So, um, about my punishment? Are you going to tear my clothes off and ravage me like a beast?! Or maybe you're going to tie me up?!"
If anyone else is about to be punished, they will try everything to avoid it somehow. But, for a masochist like Darkness; well, it's the exact opposite.
"None of the above. Because of how you're acting and mentioning them, those sound like rewards instead of punishments." I said to Darkness casual as I saw down on a single sofa chair. Surprisingly it's very comfortable, and I wonder where Darkness purchased this chair. Maybe it came with the house?
"Give me a sec. Also, don't even think about stripping. Just stand there for me and wait." I said to Darkness, where she had already begun removing her armor but was stopped before she could finish.
Reaching into my pocket, where I had this Magical Item I made just for the hell of it, and maybe Darkness would love it. I pulled out a red pill that would make the consumer feel intense pain throughout their body and was made at the time because I wondered if I needed such a thing if some moron pissed me off enough to make me want to torture them. And this pill will help me with that task. Something that would save me the effort of having to do the torture personally.
Of course, this was just an idea for a moment, and I made a temporary version that lasted only 5 minutes.
"Darkness. Eat this." I held the red pill for her to take.
Darkness frowned and looked a bit unease, "Daisuke. I may go with many things. But, I won't take just anything if I don't know what they are in the first pace."
"It is a pill that makes you feel pain-" I was cut off when Darkness snatched the pill out of my hand and tossed it into her mouth, swallowing it without taking water with it.
"How long until it works, and when will it stop working?!" Darkness asks me with excitement.
"Should take into effect right about... now." I said to Darkness, where she fell on her knees, then on her back before screaming in pure pleasure, where I could see her twitching a lot.
Glancing the living room to see if anything was interesting I had missed while waiting for the Magical Drug to wear off.
5 minutes later*
Darkness couldn't get up from the ground, as she was panting with a face that someone just orgasmed multiple times non-stop and did have numerous orgasms, to the point that the fabric of her clothes was soaked with her sweat and pantie completely dretch.
"Hey, Darkness. Your punishment is over." I said to Darkness, but technically it's not. And I wasn't disappointed with the way Darkness reacted to this. When Darkness got back on her feet and rush over to me, holding my feet with a face of horror. No longer was she tired from having the best moment of her life.
"NO! It can't be over! It has barely been 5 minutes!" Darkness cried out in sadness as she pointed at the wall clock, where it had been 5 minutes.
"I'm surprised you kept track of time." I said to Darkness, "And yup, it's over." I made Darkness start tearing up now. I successfully got Darkness addicted now. I guess I can make more of the red pill later on if I remember at the time.
"Please! One more! I'll do anything!" Darkness honestly never felt so much pain; the only thing comparable to it was giving her virginity to her lover.
"Strip." I replied with one word.
Darkness only took a few seconds to understand my word before quickly getting rid of her clothes and armor until she was completely naked, with her vagina leaking a lot and her nipples hard. This just shows that Darkness is very horny right now.
"Kneel." I continue off as I watch Darkness get on her hands and knees, with her face red. Looking at me, waiting for my next order.
"Roll around." I smirked as Darkness did exactly as I said, with a big smile as she rolled around like a dog before she got back to her previous position after she finished rolling around.
"Show me how you masturbate." I order Darkness, where her face became even redder as she got on her back and spread her legs, then started fingering herself with three fingers while fondling her breast with her free hand.
I watch this display before my eyes until, a few minutes later, Darkness' fingers move faster until she starts squirting and almost hitting me in the process if I was a bit closer.
Darkness lay on the ground, panting, her legs still spread and her tongue sticking out. But, that only lasted for a few seconds before Darkness sat up and resumed fingering herself as she looked at me with a lewd smile.
I point at my crotch, which Darkness knew immediately what I wanted. With eyes filled with hunger. Darkness leaps at me.
A few days later*
"...Oh, I almost couldn't recognize you." Darkness said to Kazuma, blushing a little while she hugged her lover's arm. Trying her best not to show any signs that she just had sex before coming here and that she isn't wearing any panties at the moment.
"Whoa, Kazuma. Finally, looking the part of an adventurer." Megumin congrats Kazuma on his new look.
I just give Kazuma a thumb up while ignoring how Darkness is trying to get my attention again after commenting on Kazuma's outfit.
"Why the sudden changes?" I ask him, "You don't see me changing." Seeing how I have no reason in the first place.
Kazuma gives me a deadpan look, "You don't have to deal with an annoying goddess complaining about my gym clothes for days."
"True." I can understand Kazuma's problem. "Well, I'm heading off to do a quest or two. I'll leave Darkness with you guys. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." I glanced at Darkness when I said the last part, causing her grip to tighten around my arm as she became aroused by my words alone.
"Are you sure you don't want to party up with us? I'm sure we could get things done fairly quick." Kazuma once more tries to invite me to his party. "Plus, your girlfriend is in the party; why not tag along and do the quest with her as well?"
Darkness blushes at the comment of me being her boyfriend. I didn't deny it, which just made Darkness happier.
"Nah, I'm good. Plus, I can see Darkness at home." I replied while Darkness gulped her saliva after the word: home has trigger happy memories of what occurs privately in that house.
"Alright, good luck man." Kazuma decides to quit for now and try another time.
"You too." I wish Kazuma good luck, as he is the only person I have met from our homeworld. Then I got up to find a quest to do while ignoring the way Darkness looked at me.
A few hours later*
So far, the target of my quest is a giant bear beast that goes by the name of Black Fang, which was sighted in the area where new adventurers would go to do their quests.
From the information I got about this Black Fang, it requires a party of the average level 30s and decent classes, with a Priest in the party for healing. Facing a Black Fang is very dangerous and could lead to the death of many parties if not careful. Making the Black Fang an unspoken challenge for many new parties of adventurers, whereby successfully killing a Black Fang would prove they are no longer newcomers.
Therefore, I got a lot of warnings and questions if I really desired to face this monster alone without a party to back me up.
Of course, my confidence to face the Black Fang so easily is due to Chariot Requiem and the countless Magical Items I possess. Chariot Requiem can easily snipe this monster without it being able to understand how it died. But, I got a Magical Item I want to test against this monster.
Right now, I'm checking for anyone nearby before using it, as this will be among my trump cards against this fantasy world. While the gods and goddesses watching over this world would mostly know what I'm using; well, I have many other Magical Items to take care of them. I just have no idea if they can read my mind, but I've already prepared for something like that just in case.
After finishing checking the surroundings, I head to the Black Fang just a few 50 meters ahead. I can see it, which matches the picture the guild staff showed me when I took the quest.
Reaching into my pockets, I pull out a Magical Tome called the Grimoire Weiss. This is from the video game: NieR. That is served as the user's access to Magic Spell: Words, new melee attacks, and weapon upgrades. It also contains a small portion of the Sealed Verses power.
But, the one I have is changed under the effects of Omnifabrication when being made. Instead of the new melee attacks and weapon upgrades, I removed them entirely, and instead, I made it so the Grimoire Weiss has the full power of the Sealed Verses rather than just a small portion. As in not using the Sealed Verses to complete Grimoire Weiss since it already is and would increase the power of the Sealed Verses, surpass the ones in the video game. Changing the Magic Spell: Words to become Enhanced Magic temporarily buffs me and others without being limited to certain types and 2 Words at the time, like in the games.
Injecting my mana into the Magical Tome, causing it to hover just above my left shoulder. Then, slide the Fox Mask over my face as I may need it.
I start running towards the Black Fang, with the Magical Tome following behind me and with a mental command to the Grimoire Weiss to cast the Sealed Verses: Dark Blast at the Black Fang, where the Magical Tome opened up and fired a Magic Projectile, followed by an endless array of smaller Magic Missiles for 3 seconds before stopping as the Black Fang lost its head and have multiple holes in its body.
I stop charging as I watch the headless body filled with holes fall to the ground, dead without even being able to fight back or realize how it died. At the very least, it got a quick and painless death. Maybe.
Overall, this made me feel the same when I used Chariot Requiem for the first time against a nearby monster and had the Requiem Stand punch that monster. The result of having that monster died instantly.
At this point, I may need to find much stronger monsters to face with all the Magical Items I have created so far. I could even go take on the Demon King if I didn't want to since I got others to do it for me, or more like I rather not be that fool who may end up getting killed by underestimating the Demon King just because I have countless Magical Items for me to use. Magical Items that require a lot of mana to use for longer than a few minutes.
So with the Black Fang dead, time for me to head back with the disappointment of not getting the chance to test out all the Sealed Verses and trying out the Enhanced Magic: Words. But, at least, I know the Grimoire Weiss is powerful enough to instant kill monsters at the Black Fang's level.
Putting the Magical Tome back into my pocket as I don't need it to stay out and continue draining the mana out of me, so that it could follow me while hovering and doing nothing.
I take out my Adventurer's Card to see if I level up or not.
Good news, I did level up.
Bad news, I only level up once.
Well, at least I reach level 40 now. So that's good in my book.
Putting away my Adventurer's Card and head back to Axel before nightfall.
A few hours later*
By the time I returned to town, I had got my reward from the adventurer guild. It was already nighttime, and the streets became less crowded, but many people still walked through them. Heading out for a quest or just heading home while I stayed in the adventurer for a late dinner. While thinking about what high-difficult quest I should take next in the morning. As the Black Fang was a complete disappointment.
